Chapter 14: Shiny Lurantis

Shiny Lurantis

Lurantis

"Lurantis? Or two of them,"

Ash looked at Mewtwo puzzled, "When did you leave that in Kalos?"

Mewtwo: "?"

To possess great psychic power, the brain must develop excellently,

especially since Mewtwo is a psychic‑type legendary,

it understood Ash's joke in an instant,

Purple‑black energy suddenly coalesced at Mewtwo's fingertips, vaguely forming a sphere.

Although aware that Mewtwo was merely responding to the joke and would not actually throw a Shadow Ball,

just staring at the casually formed Shadow Ball,

was enough to make the humanoid Pokémon Ash, who can hand‑craft wave missiles, feel a flutter in his heart,

while the pressure gave no hint of oppression to Serena, who was in the same room,

Mewtwo's might and its fine control of energy were evident,

"How's that guy handling it?"

Although knowing Ash was changing the subject, Mewtwo did not continue to dwell on the joke.

Instead, it answered Ash's question via telepathy,

"Miss Junsha has rested; I confiscated the poacher's Poké Balls and weapons and placed them at the front desk, and threw the hunter straight into the police station's cell."

In Ash's mind instantly flashed the scene of Miss Junsha the next day discovering a few extra Poké Balls at the front desk and a bewildered stranger's expression in the prison,

Before departing on the trip tomorrow, still remember to say something to the other party,

To avoid the uninformed Junsha simply releasing the person again.

The poacher issue was resolved,

"What's up with these two little guys? Can you tell me what happened?"

"Their mother found a new lover and wanted to abandon these two little ones; I recall you often watch Gardevoir videos, so I just brought them to you."

"What video?"

Serena's drowsy, trembling voice sounded,

She struggled to sit up, revealing a sliver of moon‑bright, snow‑white skin,

Her confused gaze fell on Ash,

"Ms. Kalu Nai's video of battling Gardevoir,"

Ash kept his usual expression, earnestly explaining while lifting the blanket for Serena to prevent a sudden exposure,

which startled Serena's consciousness a bit,

As Serena's awareness cleared, she looked forward,

She saw Mewtwo standing ahead, with two tiny figures on its left and right at its legs,

like a father leading two daughters,

"Huh? Since when does Mewtwo have two daughters? So cute!"

Mewtwo: "?"

Joking with Ash aside, Mewtwo and Serena were not familiar,

so it shifted its frustration onto Ash, giving him a withered stare,

which amused Ash.

After a while, the moving air brushed by, and the coolness from behind and the northern hemisphere fully awakened Serena.

She saw everything before her clearly,

then recalled the vague, rambling words she had just uttered,

Serena instantly blushed and lay back, covering both cheeks with her hands, wishing she could crawl into a crack in the floor,

What on earth was she babbling just now!

But…

"Why are there two Lurantis in the room? And even a shiny one!"

Her habit of being drawn to beautiful things made Serena instinctively want to lift the blanket,

but reason ultimately overcame impulse,

She extended her fair, jade‑like arm to pull the clothing back under the blanket, silently dressed, and then lifted the blanket,

At that moment, Ash on the other side had also dressed and stood up,

He turned on the light; the white illumination instantly made the room as bright as day,

Mewtwo and the two little lolis' appearances came into Ash and Serena's sight more clearly,

The sudden change in lighting,

was nothing to the spirits like Mewtwo and Pikachu who are accustomed to human lighting,

but for the two wild youngsters it was rather startling,

The two youngsters moved in unison, fearfully extending their tiny short arms to cling tightly to Mewtwo's thigh.

"Don't be afraid~"

Ash said soothingly,

and explained,

"These two kids were rescued by Mewtwo after dealing with the poacher, and…"

Serena gently walked forward, both hands supporting the fair, smooth knee as she half-squatted, stretching out her hand while trying to show a friendly smile.

Hello, I'm Serena, and he's Ash.

The two little ones lifted their heads to look at Mewtwo, seeing that it made no move.

Plus, the Ralts clan can sense other creatures' emotions with the horns on their heads and empathize with them.

Feeling Serena and Ash's warm friendliness, the two Ralts grew bolder.

They tentatively shook Serena's outstretched hand.

Ash was no exception, even reaching out to pat the two little ones' heads.

The atmosphere gradually eased, and the two little ones also revealed their different natures.

The green normal one was more obedient, being held by Serena and brought back to the bed properly.

The blue shiny Ralts, however, was more mischievous.

The mischievous one teleported onto Ash's head, kneeling sitting on top of his head, its white skirt covering his hair like a hat.

posing as a hat,

No matter how Ash tilted his body, it just wouldn't come down.

Seeing Ash seemed anxious,

The little one happily raised its white little hand to lightly cover its mouth, a mischievous bad smile appearing at the corner of its mouth.

Ash certainly didn't really intend to pluck the little one off his head.

He was just playing around to build a bond with the two little ones.

After confirming that even without Mewtwo they wouldn't run away, Ash then recalled Mewtwo.

At the same time, he checked the panels of the two little ones.

【Pokémon】: Shiny Ralts (♀)

【IV】: 6v

【Level】: lv9

【Moves】: Synchronoise, Flamethrower, Cry, Psychic, Shadow Clone, Instant Teleportation,

【IV】: 4v, Attack 7, Defense 21

【Base Stats】: Total 198,

……

Both little ones are female Pokémon, both abilities Telepathy,

The difference mainly lies in skin color and individual variation,

The shiny Ralts on Ash's head is undoubtedly more perfect,

Although full IV cannot prevent fraud, the individual differences it brings are obvious,

Its inherited moves include one more Misty Terrain than the other 4v Ralts, and its level is two higher,

The good news is,

Even though the 4v IV isn't as perfect as 6v, it's still one in a million,

With proper training, becoming a Champion within five years is not impossible.

His gaze moved downward,

【Can be strengthened】

【Ability】: Telepathy I (reads our attacks and evades their move damage, 30% chance to read enemy attacks and evade)

【Strengthening Task】: Defeat Xiao Jiro's Good Squid;

Chance to read enemy attacks and evade……

This effect itself is already extremely powerful, almost enough to make the Pokémon invincible,

Combined with the Ralts, a Psychic-type Pokémon that can fly and use Psychic to manipulate objects, it's undoubtedly even stronger,

It can even completely launch a targeted counterattack from high altitude while dodging the opponent's attack,

After such careful analysis, enhancing Telepathy is practically a trait made specifically for Psychic-type Pokémon,

As for the strengthening task,

It can only be said to be a mutual effort,

His gaze shifted to the Ralts being coaxed by Sister Serena, performing Demonic Flame, almost burning the bedding,

The strengthening task given by the system likewise requires defeating Xiao Jiro's Good Squid.

That saves a lot of trouble.

By then, a straightforward two-on-one justice will do!
