I've seen many people raising wives, but this is the first time I've seen someone raising

[In the same year, because of what happened before, you felt that the Pokémon you had were indeed not enough, so you decided to catch another one.]

[Finally, you chose a location near Mt. Tsukimi.]

[Because according to Sakaki's information, there seems to be traces of dream activities nearby, you plan to try your luck. ]

Moon Viewing Mountain

As Xia Mu walked, he glanced at Gardevoir who was following him obediently, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said with emotion:

"After becoming Gardevoir, you have matured a lot."

Before this, he had thought about adding new members, but because of the strong protest from Gardevoir, he had to give up.

But this time when he made the request again, he didn't expect Gardevoir to agree so readily, without any of the bad temper it had before.

Thinking of this, Xia Mu felt even happier.

"Shauna!"

Hearing this, Gardevoir nodded as a matter of course.

After walking for a while, Xia Mu noticed something was wrong.

"Gardevoir, do you feel that there are too few Pokémon appearing today?"

Along the way, he hardly saw any proper Pokémon, the most common ones were Caterpillars, Hornworms and the like.

Even Pipi wasn’t seen. There is no Pipi in Yuejian Mountain. What a joke!

All these anomalies reminded Xia Mu of the scene when Team Rocket released poison in the forest a few years ago.

"Could it be that Sakaki also organized an operation to capture Mew today?" Xia Mu guessed.

Hearing Xia Mu's suspicion, Gardevoir's eyes wandered around, looking a little guilty.

At the same time, where Xia Mu couldn't see, she quietly further strengthened the light blue light emanating from her palm.

After doing all this, Gardevoir breathed a sigh of relief, returned to its harmless appearance just now, and stood quietly beside Xia Mu.

But there was a hint of pride flashing across that delicate little face.

Although she agreed to let Xia Mu add another Pokémon, but... whether he could catch it or not was none of her business.

However, at this moment, a soft whimper suddenly came from under his feet.

"Buy~"

Xia Mu and Gardevoir looked down at the same time, and when they saw the brown-haired Eevee, they were both stunned.

"Ibrahimovic?"

Xia Mu was a little surprised. He had been using telekinesis to scan the surrounding environment since just now, but he didn't notice the approach of this Eevee.

On the other hand, Gardevoir fell into greater self-doubt.

"Why is there an Ibrahimovic approaching?"

She was clearly using her super powers to interfere. Except for Pokémon like Caterpillar that couldn't run fast, the other Pokémon should have escaped long ago.

Why would a Pokémon like Eevee, which is naturally timid, come over here?

Just when she was about to try to increase the output of her super powers and drive it away again at close range.

Ibrahimovic suddenly kicked with his back foot and jumped lightly onto Xia Mu.

Xia Mu quickly caught the object, and after holding it firmly, he realized that the object was coveting the energy cube in his chest pocket.

"Buy~"

As the energy cube entered, a satisfied expression appeared on Eevee's face.

However, when Gardevoir saw this scene, he instantly felt an unknown fire rising from the bottom of his heart.

"That's my energy cube!" she said through gritted teeth.

If she hadn't been afraid of hurting Xia Mu, she would have definitely taken action against this thieving cat.

However, before Xia Mu could comfort Gardevoir who was on the verge of going berserk.

Eevee, who slowly finished eating the energy cube, turned his gaze to Gardevoir first, then covered his mouth with his little paws and let out a small chuckle.

This action instantly ignited Gardevoir's reason.

She just waved her hand and pulled Ibrahimovic out of Xia Mu's arms.

While the opponent was still half hanging in the air, Gardevoir released several mental blades in succession.

The invisible blade cut through the air and flew towards Ibrahimovic, making a sharp cutting sound.

However, despite the huge momentum, Gardevoir should have taken into consideration the strength of Eevee, and the actual lethality of this attack was limited.

So even if he is hit, Ibrahimovic himself will not be seriously injured.

Just when Xia Mu thought that Ibrahimovic would use skills like defending to take the attack, the latter calmly opened its mouth in mid-air.

The starting position of biting.

Xia Mu's eyes widened slightly, obviously not expecting that this Eevee would be stupid enough to try to use biting to deal with the Psychic Blade.

This is much more exaggerated than catching a knife with bare hands.

However, it was too late for him to save Ibrahimovic, and he could only watch as the sharp mental blade collided with the red mouth.

"boom--"

The explosion sounded from the direction where Ibrahimovic was, but the result was different from what was expected.

I saw Eevee bite through several mental blades released by Gardevoir, and then flipped backwards and landed steadily.

After doing all this, before Gardevoir and Xia Mu could react.

Eevee teleported to Xia Mu's feet at an extremely fast speed, then pushed off the ground and stood up, using its right claw to accurately hit a Poké Ball on the latter's waist.

With a flash of red light, Eevee was put into the Poké Ball without any struggle.

"Snapped--"

As the crisp sound rang out, it meant that Ibrahimovic was officially conquered.

Gardevoir watched the whole process in a daze, and it was not until Eevee was captured that she realized what had happened.

In an instant, feelings of anger and grievance surged out from the bottom of my heart.

"Xia Mu, please throw away that Eevee." Gardevoir pulled Xia Mu's arm and persuaded him.

Xia Mu, who also just realized what happened, rubbed Gardevoir's head helplessly.

"I'll go back and make you a new energy block. Eevee has already gone into the Poké Ball by itself, so there's no way to throw it away."

The inducement was fruitless, and Gardevoir could only sigh resignedly.

He felt extremely regretful for chasing away ordinary Pokémon today, which ended up attracting even more difficult ones.

After calming down Gardevoir, Xia Mu recalled Eevee's mocking gesture just now and felt inexplicably awkward.

Eevee...it seems that it rarely covers its mouth with its paws and then laughs, right?

Chapter 15: Wife on the left, Ibrahimovic on the right

[Sixteen years old, the Eevee captured last time in Mt. Tsukimi showed great talent and strength. Although it has not evolved, its strength is already comparable to Gardevoir. ]

[The only thing that gives you a headache is that the battlefield originally occupied by Gardevoir and Nancy has now been joined by Eevee. ]

[In addition, Team Rocket seems to have lost track of Mew recently, and no trace of this Pokémon ancestor has been found in Yuejian Mountain. ]

[Sakaki feels strange about this, but you will have more free time because of this. ]

【Also, you plan to resign from the alliance. 】

"You want to quit your job as an investigator? Why?" Du looked at Xia Mu in front of him puzzled.

In his opinion, as long as the other party continues to stay in the alliance with him, with his current strong reputation, a bright future is almost certain.

But at this very moment, Xia Mu actually wanted to resign?

Not only him, but the league's top executives were also puzzled by this.

"I need to catch some Pokémon. If everything goes well, I should be back as an investigator."

Xia Mu answered while packing up.

After a year of investigation and verification, combined with the information provided by Team Rocket, he already knew that capturing Celebi would require something called a GS Ball.

However, the materials used to make the GS ball are much more complicated than he imagined.

——Requires the feathers of Ho-Oh and Lugia.

In other words, he would have to have a head-on conflict with at least three mythical beasts before he could possibly capture Celebi.

Such a huge workload is obviously not enough for him to continue to maintain his job in the league.

So resigning was Xia Mu's choice.

Du choked slightly after hearing Xia Mu's explanation.

Although he didn't know what Pokémon his friend wanted to catch, he knew that Xia Mu had been collecting information here and there in recent years.

His intuition told him that the two must be closely connected, so Du stopped trying to persuade her.

"If you need help from the Dragon Taming Clan, you can come to me." Du sighed and handed Xia Mu a bronze dragon-shaped badge.

[Obtained item: Yulongdu's token. ]

"Thank you."

Xia Mu didn't say anything polite and took the badge and put it in his pocket.

After years of cooperation, he and Du have developed a deep friendship.

Gardevoir stood not far away, watching the scene silently, and pursed her lips unconsciously.

She knew that Xia Mu resigned because of her.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy Gardevoir felt. She didn't know if Xia Mu, who had given up so much for her, would get tired of her one day...

[In the same year, you locked onto your first target - the Phoenix King.]

[According to Team Rocket's information, the Ho-Oh once lived in the bell tower on the east side of Juju City in the Johto region. You plan to go there first to investigate.]

[Before leaving, you told Naz that you needed to go on a business trip for a while, and you didn't tell her that you resigned. ]

"Business trip?" Nancy looked suspiciously between Xia Mu and Gardevoir.

Although Gardevoir seemed to have restrained its behavior towards Xia Mu since the last warning, she was still very worried.

"Don't worry, Ibrahimovic is watching."

In order to get Nazhi to let him go, Xia Mu still gritted his teeth and said this extremely rude word.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Nazi's expression relaxed a lot.

There is a saying that there can't be two tigers in one mountain. With that annoying Eevee around, Nancy believes that Gardevoir won't have the chance to do anything bad.

"Go early and come back early."

"Ah."

[On the day of departure, Sakaki sent you a special document. ]

[The content is very simple - recently another group of people are looking for information about Celebi.]

[At the same time, they appeared near the Bell Tower where the Phoenix King was and the Whirlpool Islands where Lugia was. After investigation by Team Rocket, it was found that this group of people came from an organization - the Masked Legion.]

[You silently memorized the name of the organization, but didn't pay too much attention to it. ]

[Soon after, you were seen off by Nancy, Junsa, and the gym owner, and took the high-speed train to Manjin City in the Johto region. Gardevoir was very interested in the scenery outside the window. ]

It was already night when we arrived in Manjin City.

However, as the largest city in the Johto region, the city is still brightly lit at night, with dazzling neon lights flashing everywhere.

"Xia Mu!"

As soon as I arrived at the waiting area, a heroic girl with blue hair came up to greet me.

"Xiaochun, long time no see." Xia Mu responded with a smile.
