Pokémon, but there is a hunter app

“Paaah—”

Palkia flew into the sky and entered a spacetime rift, and Dialga followed closely behind into another one.

On the other hand, here...

Hua Ling had already left the conference venue and took out her phone to send a private message to the other party:

Congratulations on becoming the champion! Now that the agreement has been fulfilled...

And since your battle is over, I'll be going now. See you next time.

Hua Ling snapped her fingers, and a black vortex appeared behind her. Giratina's upper body slowly emerged from it.

"Let's go back to the Reverse World, Giratina."

Giratina nodded, and the tentacles beside her slowly descended, gesturing for Hua Ling to climb on them. She was just about to make her move.

A crack emitting a pink glow unfolded ahead.

Xiao Zhao and Palukia appeared from behind, and looking at Hua Ling and Giratina in front of her, she sighed helplessly:

"...Do you hate me that much? You can't even give me a proper goodbye?"

Xiao Zhao took her phone out of her pocket and saw the message Hua Ling had sent.

Then I got even more upset...

If it were just a simple separation, that would be fine; we'd meet again someday. But why do we keep deliberately parting without saying goodbye?

"...Why do this?"

Xiao Zhao took a few steps and squatted down in front of Hua Ling, taking her hand and touching her cheek.

He looked at her with eyes full of confusion and a hint of sadness.

From the moment she returned to this world, she noticed that Hua Ling seemed to be intentionally avoiding her, and they hadn't had any contact for a month and a half.

This was something I wouldn't have dared to imagine before I came back, but after returning to the present world, the other party unilaterally achieved it.

"...Did I make you hate me? I can tell you used to really like me, didn't you?"

Xiao Zhao asked three questions that were troubling her greatly, looking at the girl in front of her, wanting her to answer.

"I don't dislike you, I like you very much, but precisely because of that, it's best if you keep a little distance from me..."

At first, Hua Ling simply wasn't used to the other person's living environment, so she chose to stay away.

But now she realizes that the other person's feelings seem to be much heavier than she imagined, feelings that shouldn't be present in this body.

"Why is that..."

She needs an answer—whether it's that she can't accept it, or that she hates it or something else.

The thought of that possibility darkened her eyes; perhaps things shouldn't have developed to this point in the first place.

"...Is it because you're too precocious, or because you're too perverted? Your feelings for me go beyond just liking, right?"

Hua Ling reached out and patted the other person's head, asking the question in a declarative tone.

"..."

Xiao Zhao's face fell, revealing the same expression she had when they first met, and she lowered her head in grievance.

"Tch~ Minion Sister~ This is the only look she ever makes in situations like this~"

And you're waiting for me to comfort you, right? What a mixed bag!

Hua Ling covered her mouth, her voice laced with mockery as she looked at the pitiful-looking Xiao Zhao.

"Ugh...you bad guy...I'm not going to be friends with you anymore."

Xiao Zhao made an unhappy sound, hugged her knees, turned around, and faced away from her.

On the surface, it seems like she's throwing a tantrum, but in reality, she's trying her best to avoid letting the other person see her current expression.

Her body was trembling slightly; she could already foresee what was to come and wanted to avoid it all.

"Of course, these aren't really problems... the most important thing is..."

I am not a good child, and "I" am not here either.

The person I am here now is only in control of this body due to some special reasons.

Who knows, one day this body might disappear completely. If you really like me then, you'll definitely be heartbroken.

Hua Ling released the other person's hand and then reached out to Giratina, where a tentacle landed in her hand.

"Huh...?! What do you mean?"

Xiao Zhao suddenly turned around and looked at her with a confused expression.

He reached out and pinched the other person's soft, warm cheek. What did it mean that the body would disappear?

"I, and Necrozma, are not actually people or Pokémon of this world."

I only came into this world in this body because of some special reasons.

Who knows when my body will reach its end, and then I will disappear from this world completely.

I don't know where this world is, nor is there any possibility of finding it...

So it's better if we keep some distance from each other, understand? Sister~

P.S.: Sigh... the real-world storyline will be quite long from here on out.

I've always wanted to write games, but I just can't seem to manage it. My drafts are below 60, and I'm starting to feel the pressure, but I just can't seem to muster the energy to write.

Vote now, readers!

Volume 1: Chapter 132 Back to Reality

"Hmm...aside from that, are there any other reasons?"

After Hua Ling finished speaking, Xiao Zhao suddenly said this.

"Hmm... Hmm? Isn't that reason enough?"

"I feel it's not enough."

Xiao Zhao shook her head at her, rested her chin on her hands, and said in a nonchalant voice.

"I had considered this possibility before, after all, what orphan would have a shiny Pokémon?"

He even carries around a legendary Pokémon, though it's a bit surprising to know now.

As she spoke, Xiao Zhao leaned closer and touched Hua Ling's belly and face.

"So, Hua Ling, your current body is actually a robot that was created?"

Are they actually being controlled by beautiful girls, like in anime where they're sent to other worlds to find resources?

Hua Ling slapped away the restless claws and rubbed her forehead in annoyance.

"It's not that exaggerated... It's more accurate to say that this body contains a portion of my power."

It can be said to be composed of a special energy, and it will disappear once it suffers fatal damage...

Both Pokémon and any items you carry will return to their original form.

"What amazing power! Hua Ling is so awesome!"

"Don't always talk to me like you're coaxing a child!!"

A moment later, the two arrived at the beach they had previously visited.

By slightly concealing the truth, Hua Ling embellished her own situation.

Adventurers explore unknown worlds, seeking more Pokémon to become their partners, hoping to become even stronger trainers.

However, the body's performance is unstable, and it may suddenly disappear without warning.

"That's it?"

Xiao Zhao sat on the shore, swinging her legs, completely unconcerned about what the other person said about possibly disappearing and never being seen again.

"It's okay~ I can just come find you later, right?"

"Looking for me? I don't even know where I am."

Hua Ling wasn't very confident about the idea, but Xiao Zhao looked quite confident.

"Everything I have now is thanks to you, Hua Ling..."

It helped me slowly regain my memories and helped me make Poké Balls to catch Palkia and Diablo.

Necrozma brought me back to the present; without you, I'd probably still be suffering from amnesia...

Then, let's help the professor catch Pokémon with Team Galactic, haha, by the way~

They might even be expelled from Team Galactic because of the appearance of these two kids.

Then, unable to find a place to stay outside, he'll probably die alone in the wilderness.

So it's just about finding you~ consider it a special trip! Hehe~

As she spoke, Xiao Zhao suddenly leaned closer and rested her head on her shoulder.

"There's no need to worry or be afraid..."

Feel free to come closer, feel free to come closer to me...

If one day you really disappear, I will do everything in my power to find you...

so......"

He held her in his arms, and the girl's voice whispered in his ear:

"...Please stop avoiding me, okay? Please stop leaving without saying goodbye."

Don't worry about what the future holds, just cherish the present moment...

"..."

Suddenly feeling much calmer, Hua Ling looked up at the moon tonight.

"Alright... I'll trust you this once, you unreliable sister~"

Also... my true self was a person several times more indifferent than I am now.

Sister, you'll have to work harder if you want to get my real attention~ Hehe~

The little girl seemed to be in a good mood, and her smile was even brighter.

"Huh? Aren't you the same person? Why are you more indifferent than you are now?"

Xiao Zhao looked at Hua Ling with some curiosity and asked the question that had puzzled her, and Hua Ling quickly gave an answer to this simple question:

"Because...the world is dangerous. Once you die, you're really dead."

But in these special worlds, it's different; even if my clone dies, my main body can still live.

Furthermore, it can provide special assistance, so my main body will ensure I live well.

Then enjoy life as I am now! I'll kill myself when the time comes.

They're just reusable clones anyway~

Hua Ling said these words in a light and cheerful voice, but it made Xiao Zhao's heart skip a beat.

What kind of world could possibly make a child like Hua Ling say such things...?

"It seems... I need to have another goal."

Xiao Zhao took out his Arceus phone and looked at the mission recorded on it.

She has made up her mind that after becoming the champion, she will travel all over the world to find the stone tablets and the corresponding special items.

Then we'll go find the world where the original body, as Hua Ling mentioned, resides...

But back to reality

"Well... I must have been out of my mind to say something like that."

Hua Ling's face was slightly flushed, but she didn't take what Xiao Zhao from that world said to heart.
