Elf: Start your slow-paced life after becoming a farmer.

It was at this moment that Dream realized it seemed to have forgotten the man's face; it only remembered his scent, and...

Suddenly, Dream turned to look at the martial arts bear master next to Karl, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "Mmmmmm~"

Carl looked at Mewtwo with some confusion, while Mewtwo explained with a speechless expression, "It didn't say anything, it was just laughing."

“Alright.” Carl smiled helplessly, then, as if he had thought of something, he said to Mewtwo in a serious tone, “Mewtwo, regarding your research results on the island, especially those special Poké Balls you created, you must completely erase everything related to them before you leave the new island.”

"Understood." Mewtwo naturally knew what Karl was worried about. Pokémon cloning technology could forcibly retrieve the Poké Balls of captured Pokémon. Any leak of this technology would have a huge impact, especially…

"Karl, do you know Team Rocket?" Mewtwo asked calmly, facing Karl.

“Of course,” Karl nodded.

"When I was still in a petri dish, Team Rocket seemed to have encountered some formidable enemy, and ever since then they've kept a low profile." Mewtwo looked reminiscing. "When I grew a bit older, Team Rocket's boss, Giovanni, took me to fight all over the place..."

As Karl listened to Mewtwo's description, the image of Mewtwo wearing that suppression armor came to mind.

"Although I managed to escape later, to this day, I still haven't figured out Giovanni." Mewtwo's face showed a hint of worry. "I'm very worried that he will find me again. Although I can escape by teleporting, the cloned Pokémon I created may fall into his clutches."

Having said that, Carl understood what Mewtwo meant: "Mewtwo, you can come to me directly if you encounter any problems in the future."

As Carl spoke, he reached into his backpack, took out a spare phone he had kept inside, and handed it to Mewtwo: "For now, we can use the phone to communicate. I think with your skills, creating a more secure communication device in the future shouldn't be a problem, right?"

“Of course.” Mewtwo took the phone, carefully put it away, and then, as if relieved, a faint smile appeared on its face: “Then, I’ll see you off.”

“Oh right.” Carl slapped his forehead, then extended his right hand to Mewtwo and said with a smile, “I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Carl, from Sandstreet in the Sinnoh region, and I currently run a farm near Spoontown in the Padilla region.”

Mewtwo was taken aback for a moment, then stretched out its right hand with three fleshy balls and tightly grasped Carl's right hand.

Carl shook his hand vigorously and looked at Mewtwo with a smile: "If you have the chance in the future, Mewtwo, you must come and play at my farm!"

"Okay, it's a deal."

Chapter 95 Capture Your Eyes with an Electric Fence!

As Carl returned all the Pokémon to their Poké Balls, Mewtwo's psychic power enveloped Carl in the next instant.

As the scenery before him blurred, Carl found himself back at his starting point—the Old Coast Wharf.

The next moment, Carl felt a weight on his shoulder, and a Pikachu appeared on his shoulder.

"Mew?" Carl stared in surprise at the Mew that had transformed into Pikachu on his shoulder. "How did you get here?"

"Mew! (You haven't given me my things yet!)" Mew swished its tail and patted Karl's head, barking in dissatisfaction.

"When did I agree to lend you the thing?" Karl reached out and grabbed "Dream Pikachu's" chubby body and pinched it.

Judging from the feel of it, Carl felt that Mew must have been modeled after Ash's Pikachu.

"Mew! (You're so rude! I'm a friend of your ancestor!)" Dream struggled to break free from Karl's "clutches," pouting angrily, "Mew! (In your human terms, I'm your elder!)"

"A friend of our ancestors?" Karl looked at Dream with a puzzled expression. "What proof do you have?"

“Mew. (There’s an aura about you that I know very well.)” Dreamy nestled back onto Karl’s shoulder. “Mew. (I’ve only ever seen that aura on that man from over three hundred years ago.)”

“That doesn’t mean I’m a descendant of the person you know, does it?” Karl asked. “There’s no blood relation among the wielders of the Eternal Power, is there?”

Mew shook her head: "Mew! (It's different. The Power of Viridian is chosen by Viridian Forest, and I've only ever seen this special aura on you on that one person.)"

Karl frowned slightly: "Then, Dream, do you think there's any difference between the waveguide on me and the person you saw?"

“Mew? (Waveguide?)” Dream didn’t expect Karl to ask this question. It tried hard to recall, but then it realized that it couldn’t seem to remember the waveguide on that person at all.

Mew was a little unsettled. As the guardian of the World Tree, Mew's sensitivity to Aura was even higher than that of those so-called "Aura Heroes".

It would never forget the aura of any creature it had ever seen, but now, it had actually forgotten the aura of that person.

Karl noticed the panic in Dream's eyes. His gaze flickered, and he immediately reassured her, "Alright, alright, I'll lend you the Revealing Mirror. But you have to come home with me to see if you can bless the land after transforming into Land Cloud."

Hearing Karl agree, Dream subconsciously ignored the problem that had just been bothering it, squinted its eyes, and meowed, "Mew~ (No problem, leave it to me!)"

Just then, Shinji and the other three walked out of the old coastal dock.

"Huh? That's... Master?" Shinji noticed Karl talking to Mew on his shoulder the moment he stepped off the dock. He quickly walked up to Karl and said, "Master, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

'Huh? What's going on? How exactly did Mewtwo alter Shinji and the others' memories?' Carl muttered to himself, but outwardly maintained a nonchalant expression.

"It's alright, I just arrived not long ago either." Carl said, turning to look at Xia and Gang beside him, "Long time no see, Xia and Gang, how have you been lately?"

……

"Hey, Carl, have you discovered anything new?"

"What?! You mean you've solved that missing person case?" Yu Longdu jumped up from his office chair, looking utterly incredulous. "Tell me the details?"

“Well, Adu, I can’t go into the details over the phone.” Karl paused for a moment. “I’ll send you my location now, and I’ll explain the situation to you in detail when you get here.”

"Okay, send me your location, I'll be there right away!"

Half an hour later, Dudu arrived at the Old Coast Dock on his Dragonite. Before the Dragonite had even come to a complete stop, he jumped off its back and strode towards Carl.

Yu Longdu originally wanted to ask about the case directly, but after seeing the people next to Karl, he suppressed his excitement and raised his hand to greet them.

"Shinji, Ash, Brock, Misty, it's been a long time."

"Watari-senpai, it's been a long time!" Ash greeted him first, then asked with some curiosity, "But Watari-senpai, what brings you here?"

Lance smiled, but instead of answering Ash's question directly, he asked in return, "I'm also curious, Ash, what brings you guys here?"

"We came here because Shinji said he would introduce us to his master," Ash replied innocently.

"Shinji's master?" Lance turned to look at Shinji, then turned to look at Karl.

Lance then remembered that Shinji and Karl both came from the Sinnoh region, and he exclaimed, "So Shinji is your disciple, Karl. No wonder I saw your shadow in him."

"Yes, Watari-senpai." Although Shinji appeared calm on the surface, Karl, who knew Shinji well, knew that he was probably secretly delighted.

"Excuse me, I have some urgent business with Karl right now, so could you lend him to me for a few minutes?" Lance smiled at Shinji and the others, then pulled Karl to a more secluded corner and began to question him about the details of the case.

"You mean, Team Rocket used Mewtwo's eyelashes to create a Pokémon named Mewtwo and intends to train it as a fighting machine?"

"Yes."

"Then Mewtwo escaped Team Rocket and independently developed the technology to clone Pokémon, intending to take revenge on humanity?"

"Yes."

"Then you sent out Urshifu to knock out Mewtwo with one punch and persuade it to abandon its plan to take revenge on humans?"

"That's it."

“…Hehe.” Yulongdu had a “Are you kidding me?” look on his face, but he couldn’t see any guilt on Karl’s face, so he could only believe Karl’s words.

After all, Carl was the only person whose memory was not erased by Mewtwo during the New Island incident, and Lance could not get any other testimony from him.

After explaining the situation to Wataru, Karl found Shinji and his group again.

"Master, do you mean you're planning to go back to Padia right now?" Shinji asked, somewhat surprised.

“That’s right. After all, I’m still a farmer. I can’t just leave everything on the farm to Metagross, can I?” Carl said helplessly, spreading his hands. “If I could, I would want to keep it with me 24 hours a day.”

Upon hearing Karl's words, Shinji remained silent for a moment, but ultimately chose to leave with Karl.

Before leaving, Shinji made a promise with Ash and his friends that they would meet again at the Lily of the Valley Conference in the Sinnoh region next year.

……

As the airplane announcement came on again, Karl returned to the Padiya region, only this time the plane arrived at exactly 7 p.m.

This time, Karl finally got to see the full view of the Million Volt Night View, one of the Ten Views of Parthia.

Okay, Carl still thinks it's light pollution.

After the plane landed smoothly, Carl led Shinji out of the cabin and into the terminal. He originally intended to take Shinji directly back to the farm.

Karl thought for a moment, this was Shinji's first time in the Padia region, and as a semi-host, he had to show Shinji around this technological capital of Padia.

It's definitely not because Karl suddenly remembered that he hasn't properly explored Brewlight City yet; absolutely not.

The moment he stepped out of the airshow building, a vibrant voice reached Karl's ears:

"Capture your eye with an electric grid! Who will tell the story? The amazing tree is here! Good morning, noon and evening viewers!"

Chapter 96 The Strange Tree: We Will Win!

The moment he heard that iconic rapid-fire delivery, Karl looked in the direction the sound came from.

Less than twenty meters away from Karl and his companion, in an open area, a beautiful girl with two Magnemite dolls on her head, wearing a loose hoodie and exquisite makeup, was waving at the Rotom phone floating in front of her.

Qishu, the Gym Leader of Brewmaster City, is proficient in Electric-type Pokémon and is also a popular online streamer with a large following among the younger generation in Padilla.

Based on the current situation, it appears that this young dojo owner is conducting an outdoor live stream.

Shinji, standing next to Karl, followed Karl's gaze and his attention was immediately drawn to something.

"Master, what is that phone floating in the air?"

“That’s a Rotom phone, a special variant of Rotom.” Carl noticed the curiosity in Shinji’s eyes and introduced with a smile, “It not only has all the functions of a regular phone, but it can also be used as a Pokédex. Apart from not having the ability to battle, it is almost no different from a Pokémon like Rotom.”

“I see.” Shinji nodded thoughtfully. “It looks very convenient.”

“It is indeed very convenient,” Carl said, then changed the subject, “but your focus should not be on the Rotom phone, but on the person using it.”

"Hmm? Why?" Shinji glanced at Kijuu, who was interacting with the audience, and asked in a puzzled tone.

In fact, as a meticulous trainer, Shinji had also looked up information about the Padia region online after learning that Carl had gone there.

Coincidentally, Shinji only knew the cities where the eight gyms of Patia were located and was familiar with them, but did not further inquire about the personal information of each gym leader.

Shinji's primary goal in coming to the Padilla region was to learn from Carl, and challenging the gyms was just a "side quest" for him.

"Huh? You didn't know?" Carl looked at Shinji with some surprise. "That pretty girl with pink and blue hair is named Kiju, and she's the Gym Leader of Nimbus City."

"Really?" Shinji's expression became somewhat subtle. "Are all the trainers in the Padilla region living such miserable lives? Even gym leaders have to work as livestreamers to supplement their income?"

Karl immediately recognized Shinji's sarcastic remark; this was exactly Shinji's style of speaking!

“It’s not that bad.” Karl thought for a moment and still spoke up for President Yeci. “Although the Padia Alliance is currently short-staffed, the treatment here is still very good. For that Miss Qishu, live streaming is just a hobby.”

"I see." Shinji nodded, and before he could say anything more, Karl immediately pulled Shinji's arm and walked towards the direction where the strange tree was.

"Master, what's going on?"

"Heh heh heh, since we're already here, let's let this young man know the harsh realities of society!" Karl said with a smile.

Seeing the smile on Karl's face, Shinji, who was familiar with Karl's style, knew that his "glutinous rice ball" master was up to no good again.

However, this time the victim was not Shinji, so he followed Carl to the gym leader who was about to be persecuted (crossed out) by Carl, just to watch the fun.

At this point in time, Qishu's live streaming career had entered a period of rapid growth. With her skills that surpassed those of amateur streamers and her more engaging live streaming style that was more entertaining than that of professional trainers, she attracted a large number of fans.

At this time, Qishu had only been broadcasting for a short time, but many of her fans had already rushed to the live broadcast site, hoping to interact with this beautiful young female streamer who possessed both talent and good looks.

While Carl and Shinji were blending into the crowd, Kiri had already started a Pokémon battle with one of her fans.

As a Gym Leader specializing in Electric-type Pokémon, the Pokémon that Qishu sends out is naturally the Electric-type Pokémon unique to the Padilla region—Electrodell.

Electric-bellied Frog, the Electric-bellied Pokémon, first appeared in "Suzaku/Violet".

The electric-belly frog has a bluish-green head and back, and a grayish-black belly with a yellow "electric navel" on its abdomen.

The protrusions on either side of the electric frog's head are not its eyes, but rather its electric discharge organs. Its real eyes are two small yellow dots above its mouth.

From Carl's professional perspective, this Electric-belly Frog's strength is probably only at an amateur level. It's likely a Pokémon that Qishu uses specifically for live streaming, rather than her main Pokémon.

Qishu's opponent at this moment, the random passerby, sent out the Electric Mouse from the Padia region, which is the same Pokémon as Nemo - Babuboo.

After several rounds of combat, Qishu seized an opening in his opponent's command and directed his Electric Belly Frog to use the Water Saturation skill, which hit his opponent's Babuboo.

Immerse, a Water-type move that temporarily changes the opponent's type when it hits.

This move is extremely valuable for Electric-type Pokémon. When facing Pokémon that are resistant to Electric, this move can change the opponent's type to Water, which is weak to Electric, thus turning the tide of battle.

As Carl had predicted, when Babubo's type changed to Water, Qishu commanded his Electric Bellyfrog to use Thunderbolt to end the battle.

After the battle, Kiju didn't immediately face the Rotom phone that was broadcasting live. Instead, she went to the passerby and encouraged him for a few words. Only after the passerby returned to the crowd did she come in front of the camera and say triumphantly, "Heh heh, which other fan wants to challenge me, Kiju-sama!"

At this moment, the surrounding crowd hesitated after witnessing Qishu's strength. Just then, Carl, carrying "Dream Pikachu" on his shoulder, stepped forward a few steps and raised his hand to Qishu, asking, "Excuse me, if I win the challenge, can I get the Brewmaster Gym Badge?"

After hearing Karl's words, Qishu looked Karl up and down.

Karl's deceptively youthful face led Qi Shu to believe that Karl was simply trying to get her attention with those words.

As a professional streamer, Qi Shu naturally couldn't let any opportunity for popularity slip by. She covered her mouth with her wide sleeve and laughed, "Of course, but young man, Qi Shu's skills are super strong!"

Karl smiled shyly, walked slowly to the other side of the battlefield, and then said, "Then let me see your strength, Miss Qishu."

"Pikachu, let's go!"
