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

However, the blood stains on it have been cleaned up, and only the heart still retains the blood-red color.

"System, you are surprisingly careful in this regard." Xia Mu rarely praised the system.

【of course.】

Although the system didn't know what it had done, it still proudly accepted the praise.

After finding a place to sit down, Xia Mu leaned on Gengar, raised the ice crystal bracelet and pointed it at the moon in the sky.

The moonlight shines through the bracelet, adding a layer of backlight to the word "奈" on it, which looks very beautiful.

Gengar let Xia Mu lean on him. Although he was restless in the past, this time he didn't make any noise.

It knew that Xia Mu missed Gardevoir.

A decision slowly emerged from the bottom of its heart - it wanted to help Xia Mu find Gardevoir!

at the same time.

The basement of Kaji Gym in the Johto region

"Gone, gone, gone!"

A loud roar of rummaging sounded in the basement.

Under the light, the one looking for something is a Gardevoir of a different color.

She was breathing slightly, her scarlet eyes full of madness.

Beside her, there were several cabinets that were supported by super powers, and when the doors of the cabinets were opened, the things inside were also suspended in the air.

But despite this, Gardevoir still didn't find what he wanted.

"Who took it?"

Gardevoir hasn't felt this angry in a long time.

But at this moment, she wished she could torture the thief who stole her things to death.

Because what she lost was nothing else but the bracelet she once gave to Xia Mu, which was the only remaining connection between her and that person.

This is her Achilles' heel. She will show no mercy to anyone who dares to take these things.

After confirming that he had lost something, Gardevoir calmed down and then went back to the gym along the stairs.

"Go find who stole my bracelet!"

"If you see anyone wearing a similar style, bring them back to me first."

Gardevoir gave orders to his subordinate who was kneeling on one knee in front of him with a strange mask on his face.

"Yes."

...............

In the next few days, Xia Mu spent his time training with Gengar, in addition to researching new flavors of energy cubes.

Life was relatively dull, but despite this, the system still gave him a big job.

[Host... I suddenly discovered that after reaching S-level in the simulation score, there seems to be a special reward. ]

The voice of the system suddenly sounded in my mind.

Xia Mu, who was making a training plan for Gengar, couldn't help but pause slightly. After hearing it clearly, he couldn't help but become interested.

"Special reward? What is it?"

Facing Xia Mu's expectant eyes, the system answered reluctantly:

[Okay, it seems to be related to the fateful Pokémon. ]

"like?"

Hearing the system's wording, Xia Mu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, the next second, an even more rigid voice came from the system:

[Um, I accidentally uninstalled the manual...I can't see the details. ]

Xia Mu: ...

…………

The day to receive the initial Pokémon soon arrived.

Inside the Ohki Research Institute

"Xia Mu, how is it, has Grandpa found a suitable Pokémon for you?"

Xiao Mao came up with bad intentions.

This was not because he wanted to take the opportunity to laugh at Xia Mu, but because he wanted to prove how sharp his vision was.

After all, he had asserted half a month ago that Xia Mu's compatibility with Pokémon was absolutely ridiculously low.

"found it."

Xia Mu took out the Poké Ball containing Gengar and waved it in front of Xiao Mao.

"Dark Ball?" Xiao Mao was a little surprised after recognizing the Poké Ball.

"It seems that grandpa has really put a lot of thought into your Pokémon." Xiao Mao suddenly felt a little envious.

But then he put the envy behind him and took out the Squirtle he had just obtained.

"How about it, do you want to fight as agreed?"

Xiao Mao just asked symbolically, he didn't think Xia Mu would agree to fight.

After all, with Xia Mu's physique, it would be good enough if the Pokémon didn't run away overnight, let alone fight.

However, what he didn't expect was that Xia Mu actually smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's go to the open space in the yard?"

Seeing Xia Mu agreed so readily, it was Xiao Mao's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Are you serious?" He looked at Xia Mu in surprise, then turned to look at Professor Oak beside him, "Grandpa?"

He also had no habit of exposing other people's weaknesses. If Xia Mu agreed to the fight only because of the agreement, he would feel bad about it.

What shocked him even more was that even Professor Oak smiled and nodded.

"Go ahead, I've prepared the venue."

Just like that, with Xiao Mao's eyes dazed, Xia Mu and Professor Oak took him to the battlefield.

"Okay, this match will be a 1v1 match. Both sides please release your Pokémon."

Professor Oak volunteered to be the referee. He couldn't wait to see Xiao Mao's expression.

Now that they have arrived at the duel arena, Xiao Mao is no longer hesitant.

His eyes flashed and he threw out the Poké Ball he had just obtained.

"It's you, Squirtle!"

"Come on Xia Mu, let me see what your initial Pokémon is?"

Xiao Mao asked eagerly, this was his first battle and he was looking forward to what kind of thrilling battle would be ahead of him.

Seeing Xiao Mao so impatient, Xia Mu's smile grew even wider.

He didn't hide it and threw out his Poké Ball.

"It's you, Gengar."

"Scared!"

The extremely oppressive purple fat man appeared in the center of the venue, and his bared white teeth looked like Satan's grin in Squirtle's eyes.

The moment Gengar appeared, the smile on Xiao Mao's face froze and shifted to Xia Mu and Professor Oak's faces.

"Xiao Mao, this is your first battle, you have to do your best."

Professor Oak encouraged from the side.

Xiaomao:......

The battle naturally ended with Squirtle being fooled. From beginning to end, the little turtle didn't even attack Gengar once.

"You're cheating! Whose starting Pokémon looks like this?"

"Is this a fucking starter Pokémon?"

Xiao Mao pointed at Gengar indignantly and said that he felt he had been greatly deceived.

"Although it's hard to believe, it's a pity that this is the Gengar that Xia Mu conquered with his own strength."

"I didn't help at all, and I didn't even know about it until after the fact."

Professor Oak calmly explained, and now it was Xiao Mao's turn to be silent.

He looked at Gengar interacting closely with Xia Mu and chose to believe this statement.

But after believing it, he found that... his psychological shadow became even bigger!

What happened to the physique of the abandoned child? What happened to the fact that Pokémon didn't like him?

Chapter 32 I wish you were still here

After torturing Xiao Mao, Xia Mu naturally received the illustrated book and started his journey.

Because of the existence of Gengar, and the fact that he can use his own super powers, the journey was smooth sailing.

However, Xia Mu did not capture any more Pokémon. He has always disagreed with the idea that "more is better".

It's okay in the game, but in reality, if you capture a large number of Pokémon, you will inevitably not be able to take care of them all.

Rather than letting the Pokémon stay in the Poké Ball or the Oak Laboratory to fend for themselves, Xia Mu prefers to take the elite route.

…………

"We've finally arrived in Nibi City."

After getting off the car, Xia Mu looked at the city full of "stone smell", stretched his body and said to Geng Gui beside him.

After several days of travel, he finally arrived at the first stop of his journey.

"Scared!" Gengar nodded in agreement.

"Let's go to the Pokémon Center!"

After arriving at the Pokémon Center and checking into a room for the night, Xia Mu was somewhat surprised to receive a call from Professor Oak.

"Xia Mu, where are you now?"

Professor Oak looked a little busy, as he was busy with the experimental equipment in his hands while talking on the video.

"We just arrived in Nibi City, what's wrong..." Xia Mu had a bad feeling.

Based on his many years of experience as Professor Oak's assistant, when the other party starts with this tone, it usually means they want him to do something.

Sure enough, Professor Oak's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Nibi City, that's just right."

"Do you know about Yuejian Mountain? There seems to be a criminal organization searching for some Pokémon there. I might need you to go there."

As he spoke, Professor Oak looked embarrassed.

"Actually, this matter shouldn't be assigned to a rookie trainer like you, but unfortunately... you are the only one who can make it there and is strong enough."

Professor Oak didn't just pick someone randomly. He specially tested Gengar's strength before Xia Mu left, and the data he got was quite shocking.
