How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

Looking at the dull grey stone bead in Qianye's arms, this stone did give her an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Had she seen it somewhere before?

"So, next time, could you please listen to my explanation before you do anything...Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault!" Seeing that Kokodora was about to have another attack, Qian Ye quickly gave a French military salute. He didn't want to get hit on the kidneys again.

"Don't you think this stone looks familiar? This is the mega stone that Champion Daigo gave us that day."

Looking closely, the appearance of this stone is exactly the same as the stone that has a unique attraction to him, except that the luster of that stone should not be so dull, and there should be something like a DNA helix sealed inside.

Kokodora raised her head and gave the boy a questioning look, but the boy's face fell.

"If I knew the reason, I wouldn't be so troubled. Anyway, it's lost its mega-evolutionary power now. It's just a stone with a somewhat unique shape... Ahhhh my Boskodora Mega Stone, that's a ton of money!"

Looking at the heartbroken Qianye, Kokodora was quite speechless. After saying so much, the core of it was still crying poor!

With one claw, Kokodora pulled the mega stone in front of him, opened his mouth wide, and was about to bite it with his steel teeth. Seeing this, Qianye quickly grabbed it and stopped it, "What are you doing?"

"Coco, cocoa." She rolled her eyes at him. There was no point in keeping it anyway, so she might as well eat it directly.

“That’s true…” Without waiting for Qianye to finish, Kokodora bit the stone bead into pieces, making a crunching sound.

The boy's eyebrows twitched. He was probably the first person in history to feed his own Pokémon directly with Super Stone. This training method was really a bit extravagant.

In a few seconds, the entire mega stone went into her stomach. Kokodora burped and wiped her mouth with her foot.

I always feel too bloated, as if I had eaten an entire bridge... Kokodora moved her limbs uncomfortably. Every inch of her body seemed to be full and about to swell up, but fortunately it did not affect her movements.

At this moment, Hu Di, who had been standing in the corner, had a gleam in his eyes. After a slight pause, he walked up to Qianye:

"There's a new challenger."

"Who is this unlucky guy again... Forget it, just take me to see him." He has lived in the Golden Gym for some time, and naturally he has seen many people challenging the gym. Whenever these people appear, he will give them a few subtle reminders to let them leave.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to persuade the damn ghost with kind words. Few people believed him and gave up the challenge in time. The price they paid was to be invited to stay in the "Nazhi Miaomiao House" as a doll for a few days.

I hope this time’s challenger won’t be so inflexible… With this hope in mind, Qianye grasped Hu Di’s outstretched hand and disappeared in a burst of white light.

……

After seeing the true face of the so-called challenger, Qianye basically gave up hope of persuading the other party to retreat. He looked expressionlessly at the neurotic masked young man who was responsible for leading the way.

"Master Qianye, why are you..."

"Qian Ye!" The chirping sound of a single-celled organism was heard, and a young man wearing a red hat poked his head out and looked at him with surprise.

"Haha, now I'm catching up with you. Let me tell you, before coming here, I even got the Vermilion City gym badge, so I already have three badges..."

Qianye nodded perfunctorily in response to Xiaozhi's boasting, his gaze passed him and stopped at the man and woman behind him who were waving and greeting him. Good guy, they are all familiar faces——

Brock, the gym leader of Nibee City, has brown skin, a square face, and eyes narrowed into slits; Misty, the youngest sister with short orange hair, is the fourth of the three sisters, and she is as thin as ever.

"Why are you two traveling with that Satoshi? Putting aside Misty, aren't you also responsible for running your family's gym?"

"It's a long story. Anyway, the Nibee Gym is now managed by my dad..." Xiaogang said with his hand on the back of his head and smiled. Now he no longer has the serious and steady temperament that he had when they first met. Perhaps it was because he put down the burden on his shoulders and he was able to relax.

"Why is Qianye here? Is he here to challenge the Golden Gym as well?" Xiaoxia asked curiously. Although she was asking, she already had the answer in her mind. Based on her understanding of Qianye, how could such an outstanding trainer miss the opportunity to challenge the gym?

"It's basically the same as what you said... But that's not the point. If you're here for the gym badges, you'd better change one now."

"Why?! We've already come here?" Without waiting for Qianye to explain, Xiaozhi, who heard those words, hurriedly grabbed the other's shoulders and asked.

"Calm down first. I have my reasons for saying this..."

He knew that even if he told her about her terrifying strength and her bad habit of turning the defeated into dolls, he would not be able to stop this stubborn donkey. But for the sake of their long-time friendship, even if the other party was determined to rush into the gates of hell, he had to do his best to save her.

But I can't tell the truth -

"Actually, the owner of this gym has fallen seriously ill and won't be able to recover anytime soon, so he's declining all challenges... Xiaozhi, are you still collecting badges for the Quartz Conference? Don't waste your time here, just go find the next one!"

Xiao Zhi was stunned by Qianye's words, his face wavering, but he still said hesitantly: "But, the guide clearly said..."

"Ahem! Um, I was so focused on practicing my psychic abilities that my mind went haywire. I even forgot that Gym Leader Nancy was sick... I'm so sorry, so sorry."

The masked man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke quickly.

Are you kidding me? Everyone in the Golden Gym knows about the relationship between that boy and Gym Leader Nancy. If I don't cooperate with him, and then the adults try to influence me, how can I survive in the gym safely?

"Is that so..." There was a sense of dejection in his eyes. Having said that, Xiaozhi had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​challenging the gym. He might have a low EQ, but he wasn't so selfish as to force someone to accept a challenge even if they were seriously ill.

Seeing this, Qianye breathed a sigh of relief. At least his old friend was safe. However, at this moment, a pleasant voice that sent chills down his spine drifted into his ears:

"Qianye, who are they?"

He stiffly turned his neck to look behind him. The girl was floating in the air, her red eyes able to look straight ahead. The little girl in his arms stretched out her hands to him with an innocent smile: "Brother Qianye, come and play with Nazi~"

Ruined.

This was the only thought that flashed through his mind. He raised his hand to cover his forehead. Qianye was about to say something when Xiaozhi flashed out from behind, rushed in front of him, looked into Nancy's eyes and said:

"You are Nancy, the Golden Gym Leader, right? It seems you've recovered from your illness. Then come and accept the challenge from me, Satoshi from Pallet Town!"

"Sick?" He tilted his head in confusion, but Nancy didn't pursue the other party's words. She just used instant teleportation to teleport everyone to the gym challenge venue.

Ash and his friends, who were experiencing super powers for the first time, were completely unprepared and fell to the ground one after another after a flash of white light.

Amidst the cries of grief, Qianye sighed deeply and pulled Xiaozhi up from the ground. Now that they were at this point, there was no turning back... He stared intently into his opponent's eyes and asked, "Xiaozhi, will you win?"

Although he didn't know why his friend would ask such a question at this time, he still showed the same determined eyes and issued a victory declaration after arriving at the gym:

"It will win."

Chapter 29: Without even a moment's mourning for Xiaozhi, the one who immediately rushed to the battlefield was...

"The challenge format is 3v3. Pokémon can be replaced mid-game, but Pokémon that have been judged to be incapable of fighting or have voluntarily surrendered cannot be put on the field again. Do the challengers understand and agree to these rules?"

Qianye stood alone at the side of the battle stage, acting as the referee of this Pokémon battle. His eyes were fixed on Xiaozhi, confirming with him one last time whether he was ready.

"Of course, Pikachu and I will definitely win!" Xiaozhi clenched his fists, his tone full of confidence. The yellow-haired mouse beside him also clenched his fists and responded:

"Pika pika!"

No, I don't think you understand at all. With a barely perceptible twitch of his eye, Qianye waved his palm downward, signaling that the match could begin.

As expected, Xiaozhi sent out the same Pikachu. Fortunately, at least this time, it wasn't a counter-type match. Furthermore, perhaps because she underestimated Pikachu, Nancy only sent out one Casey, which further tipped the scales of victory.

Xiaozhi, you must seize this opportunity...

"Pikachu, one hundred thousand volts!"

The electric sacs on his cheeks flickered, emitting electric light that was hard to ignore. The golden electric current condensed into shape and rushed straight towards Casey's position.

"Fuck."

Hit it? No, where the 100,000 Volts had landed was nothing but bare ground, no sign of Casey. A question mark bubble popped up above Pikachu's head, and he swung his head left and right, searching for the enemy.

"Pikachu, stop daydreaming! Casey's behind you!"

Pikachu finally woke up from his dream after hearing Xiaozhi's shout. He quickly turned around and released another electric shock at Casey who had teleported behind him at some point.

But the white light was activated before the electric light, and Casey moved instantly, and the 100,000 volts missed again.

Could this really be called a battle? Or perhaps a play would be more appropriate... Casey didn't release a single attack move the entire time, and didn't even open his eyes. He just sat on the ground like he was asleep, dodging all of Pikachu's attacks with just teleportation.

"Damn it! Pikachu, cover the entire place with 100,000 volts!"

Upon hearing this order, Qian Ye, the referee, was a little surprised. One hundred thousand volts is famous for its high power and large range among electric moves, but can a tiny Pikachu like you afford to spread the lightning level all over such a large battle stage?

And even if it could be done, how much of the electric current's power would be left if the attack range was spread out so much? It wouldn't have any effect on the enemy.

Questioning again and again, he watched as Pikachu's red electric sac splashed with sparks, and then a terrifying pillar of lightning shot up into the sky, and a golden thundercloud instantly spread over the entire arena.

Oh my god, is this still 100,000 volts?! Qianye's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he looked up at the swirling thunderclouds above him. The next moment, countless bolts of lightning descended like a torrential rain.

A serious look finally appeared on Nancy's face, the light of telekinesis flashed in her eyes, and the white light completely covered Casey's body.

It's not teleportation. Facing such a baptism of heavenly thunder, there is no so-called safe place to stay. Could the dazzling white light that shines on his body be... the light of evolution?

Its petite body rapidly grew under the white light, and as it grew taller, two long yellow whiskers sprouted from under its nose. Having evolved in battle... now known as Yongjila, Casey tilted his head back, his green eyes gleaming as he watched the falling lightning.

The telekinesis was activated, and the electric current that was originally evenly spread throughout the field was pulled together by Yongjira's telekinesis, creating a roaring thunder dragon, which rushed towards Pikachu with its fangs and claws bared.

"Pikachu!" With its pointed ears trembling, Pikachu didn't dare to stay any longer and began to flee on all fours. However, under the control of telekinesis, the Thunder Dragon seemed to come alive and kept biting it from behind.

"Pikapi!"

Ultimately, it couldn't escape, as the dazzling lightning swallowed its body whole, and the electricity it had released was completely returned to itself. Even if Electric Pokémon had resistance to Electric moves, this was not something they could withstand easily.

The hair on his body exploded from the electric shock, and he screamed in pain. But before Yongjira could stop attacking, he instantly teleported to Pikachu, who was still bathed in lightning. His eyes widened and emitted strange, heterochromatic ripples.

Illusion Ray, which directly attacks the enemy's mind with a beam of light that can induce hallucinations, is normally not a very powerful move, but it has a troublesome hidden effect - a state of confusion caused by failing to get rid of the illusion in time.

At this moment, Pikachu, who was in severe pain from the 100,000-volt attack, inevitably weakened his mental defenses, and the illusionary light easily penetrated into it. The endless illusions in his sight suddenly made him fall into confusion.

Circles appeared in his eyes, his body staggered and swayed, and he danced with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Pikachu, what are you doing? Why are you dancing all of a sudden?"

Ash didn't even realize the state his Pokémon was in. With a slight frown, he issued his next command: "Continue the battle, Pikachu, use Lightning Flash!"

"Pikachu~" Shaking his body, he seemed to hear Xiaozhi's command in a trance. He responded immediately, raised his hand and punched himself in the face.

Looking up at the sky, Qianye couldn't bear to watch any longer, and Nancy seemed to be tired of the battle. She used telepathy to order Yamagata to use his telekinesis to control Pikachu to smash the ground continuously.

The boring battle ended with Ash, unable to bear the beating Pikachu was receiving, conceding. His other Pokémon seemed intimidated by Nancy and Brawlhalla's performance and dared not fight. Finally, Qianye, the referee, announced the result he had anticipated.

"As the price for failing the challenge, brothers and sisters have to fulfill the agreement we made before~" said little Naz happily, clapping her hands.

Three pairs of eyes stayed on Ash at the same time. The red-hatted boy picked up the dusty Pikachu. Although he felt frustrated at the failure, he still agreed quite readily, completely unaware of what they were about to face next.

Then, amid Qianye's sigh, Nazi's eyes lit up green...

……

At noon, the atmosphere at the dinner table was particularly dull. Xiao Nazi, who usually finished the food cooked by Qianye quickly, was in a bad mood and seemed to have no appetite.

As usual, Nancy, who was holding her, showed no expression, but with her as the center, the atmosphere around her was extremely depressing. The Pokémon in this area, no matter whether they belonged to Qianye or Nancy, just kept their heads down and ate, not daring to make any noise.

All of this can be traced back to the follow-up of yesterday's gym challenge -

After failing the challenge, Ash and his friends were shrunk down by Nancy's superpower and thrown into a toy house for little Nancy to play with. Everything was normal up to this point in the story.

After spending so much time with Nancy, Qianye had already figured out most of her behaviors. The duration of bad luck for those who failed to challenge him was directly proportional to how much interest they aroused in Nancy. And judging by Nancy's attitude towards Xiaozhi and the others, the latter were basically the most boring ones, usually only being teased for a while, and would probably be released within a day.

But this time was different. While little Nancy was playing, the middle-aged man who had appeared in front of the Golden Gym and advised her not to challenge it suddenly broke into the toy house. While big Nancy was not paying attention, he used teleportation to take them out.

A toy that is thrown away because of boredom and a toy that runs away on its own may seem to have the same result, but in fact they are completely different in nature.

Qianye ate the food in the bowl silently, glancing at Nazhi's position from time to time, with worry in his eyes.

He didn't have any objections to the middle-aged man's actions. After all, in the eyes of the person involved, some of Nancy's play seemed to be aimed at their lives. He was really worried that Xiaozhi would not learn his lesson and come to challenge the Golden Gym again.

If he still failed at that time, he couldn't imagine what Naz would do after being tricked. And based on his understanding of his childhood friend, this possibility was very high!

Qianye, who was praying sincerely that Xiaozhi's brain would finally light up, suddenly saw Nancy put down the fork and spoon in her hand, and felt something was wrong.

"Here they come..." Nancy muttered. Her telekinesis could easily cover the entire Golden Gym if she wanted to. Unfortunately, she sensed that a few people she wasn't happy about had once again set foot on the grounds.

Qianye consciously put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up from his chair, accepting the white light that enveloped him without any resistance. He watched the world change before him with familiarity, his feet landing firmly on different floors.

"You guys, here you go again."

Looking at the trio across the arena, Nancy's words carried a hint of coldness. The Poké Ball on her waist floated to the ring and released Yugito directly.

From the moment they stepped into the gym, Nancy completely deprived the other party of the right to give up the challenge. Either face herself with dignity and create a miracle... or, turn back into a puppet and pay the price for breaking the agreement!

Compared to Nancy's indifference and Qianye's headache, Xiaozhi was still so confident this time. Seeing him look so confident, as if he had already obtained the golden badge, Qianye really wanted to ask him where his confidence came from.

But soon he won't have to worry about this, because Xiaozhi, a single-celled organism, will tell it himself:

"I'm fully prepared this time. I won't lose to you again, Nancy! I've captured the ghost-type Pokémon Haunter, and I'll use it to defeat you... Go ahead, Haunter!"

Ghost-type Haunter... has he finally realized the importance of attribute restraint? However, if Nini could be defeated simply by relying on superior attributes, the Golden Gym wouldn't have become the site of countless trainers' failures.

But something is better than nothing. If I can use Haunter to get Nancy to have a little fun in the battle, maybe the punishment later won't be so harsh. But... where is that Haunter?

An invisible crow flew over everyone's heads, making a noisy sound. In the awkward atmosphere, Xiaozhi finally panicked:
