Chapter 151: Cross-dressing Lopunny!

Several hours later,

The plane slowly landed at Abundant Source Kanazas City Airport,

Since this trip was in first class, each person had a private small room, and the seats could be adjusted into single beds,

The group, having rested along the way, were in good spirits.

After disembarking, everyone looked energetic and spirited.

Outside the airport, the crowded buildings gave everyone a completely different atmosphere.

Groups of black-and-yellow swallowtail butterflies flew across the sky,

From time to time, a king swallow would appear,

On the streets, large wolf dogs and charging bears occasionally crossed the road, and in the grassy patches on either side, scorpion-tailed insects showed cute, dazed expressions.

"Wow! Is this Fengyuan?"

"The architectural style feels completely different from back home; the buildings are more angular and also more crowded."

"They're all Pokémon we've never seen before!"

"Forests are visible everywhere, what a great feeling!"

"I wonder what kind of Fighting-type Pokémon will be waiting for me!"

Just as everyone was sighing,

Suddenly, a Pokémon with a white body, green head, and red semicircular antennae on its head appeared before everyone.

"Instant Teleportation?"

Everyone only caught a glimpse,

The next moment, that figure hastily teleported away again.

Ash, who caught a hurried glance and noticed the Pokémon's attributes, was completely stunned,

【Pokémon】: Lopunny (♂)

【Type】: Psychic+Fairy

【Ability】: Telepathy

【Level】: 18

【Moves】: Fake Out, Parting Gift, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Ice Punch, Shadow Clone, Instant Teleportation,

【IVs】: HP 31, Attack 31, Defense 31, Sp. Atk 0, Sp. Def 31, Speed 31,

……

A male Lopunny with 0 Sp. Atk IVs, physical attack inheritance moves, and +3 punches!

Isn't this a perfect specimen?

If it were a female Lopunny, it really wouldn't suit Keerni.

Because only male Kirlia can use the Awakening Stone to evolve into Gallade.

Female Kirlia can only evolve into Gardevoir.

Conversely, if the Trainer lacks money to buy the Awakening Stone, or likes cross-dressing, male Kirlia can still evolve into Gardevoir.

It's just that a thick-stem Gardevoir is really hard on the eyes.

Ash looked at Keerni in astonishment; true to his word,

He said he wanted a Fighting-type Pokémon, and there it was—this luck… befitting an important side character!

Soon,

Latias reached out and snatched the little guy back.

"What an adorable Lopunny."

The girls' eyes lit up.

"Keerni, this is a male Lopunny!"

"Then… I've decided—I'll catch this Lopunny! Go, Lucario! Mega Evolve!"

Ash: "……"

Everyone: "……"

Lopunny: "……"

I just learned Instant Teleportation, got excited and wandered around, and you caught me.

Being caught is bad enough; do you really have to hit me with Mega Evolution right away?

Bullying Pokémon too much!

Thinking this, Lopunny angrily raised its two milky-white little short arms, one wielding fire, the other lightning.

"Whoa! Fire Punch and Thunder Punch?"

Everyone was again bewildered.

But this time, the target of their bewilderment was no longer the carefree Keerni.

Rather, it was Lopunny throwing out two consecutive punches, followed quickly by one hand of ice and one hand of dark energy.

"There's also Ice Punch and Fake Out!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief, finding it hard to believe Lopunny's movepool.

The looks toward Keerni were already filled with envy and jealousy.

This is practically a perfect specimen!

"Drain Punch!"

Mega Lucario threw a punch; even before it made contact, the sheer act of draining energy from afar already left Lopunny dazed.

It collapsed instantly and couldn't get up.

"Lucca~"

Lucario saw the opponent was so weak, he immediately turned back and gave his trainer a white-eyed look.

With such an opponent, what Mega Evolution!?

"Ah hey hey, not used to fighting opponents of the same rank, I didn't react for a moment……"

Feeling guilty, he glanced elsewhere,

Keerni silently deactivated Mega Evolution and recalled Lucario.

At the same time she threw a Poké Ball to recall Lurantis.

"I successfully caught Lurantis!"

Keerni excitedly struck a celebratory pose, the guilt vanished.

Everyone quickly applauded.

Ash took out an Awakening Stone from his backpack and gave it to Keerni.

"Once Lurantis evolves into Mega Lurantis, we can directly use the Awakening Stone to evolve into Mega Alakazam."

Speaking of which,

Mega Alakazam isn't just about having Mega Evolution; in the ninth generation it also gained a powerful talent, Sharpness.

Cutting-type moves' power increased by 50%

If strengthened to three stages, who knows what kind of sight it will be.

……

"By the way, Ash, you didn't say Miss Cynthia would come to meet us, did you?"

Serena looked left and right, puzzled.

Upon hearing that, Ash immediately released Waveguide Power to sense.

Finally, beside the counter of a cold drink shop, he saw the hesitant Cynthia, the sweaty boss, and the onlooking tourists.

Ash had Latios help transfer the people and the ice cream cones directly over.

He gave the dazed boss enough compensation, then sent him back.

"Thank you!"

Cynthia first thanked Ash,

while smiling politely and greeting everyone,

Everyone naturally didn't dare to be slow, hurriedly returning the greeting one by one.

During this time, Cynthia still chose the matcha ice cream cone,

Snatching the matcha ice cream cone that had been licked once from Ash's hand, Cynthia returned the strawberry ice cream cone to Ash's hand.

This made Sera, who wanted to give the matcha ice cream cone to Cynthia, completely dumbfounded.

This is definitely intentional, right?

Unfortunately, this scene was seen by the more attentive Sera, so it caused no ripple at all.

Glancing at Cynthia's raised mouth corner,

Ash knew, this woman is definitely doing it on purpose,

Cynthia seems cold, but actually she is a woman of changeable temperament,

Outside of battle, toward ordinary people Cynthia shows great affinity and patience.

But when dealing with acquaintances, she becomes like this now,

Appearing serious on the surface, actually a bit mischievous little girl personality.

Just now she was clearly teasing him, and also teasing Serena.

What Professor Oak said is correct, compared to being a movie star like Karen, Cynthia's acting skills are no less.

Under Cynthia's excellent one-handed off-road driving skills, the group headed toward the ruins.

Arrived at the destination.

In the ruins' camp, Ash saw Steven, Mikuri, and a group of white-haired researchers.

Upon seeing Ash, Steven warmly stepped forward.

"I didn't expect you to come."

"Mainly I did a finger count, your bad luck this year is relatively heavy, at least you'll suffer three calamities, so I came to check."

Steven naturally wouldn't believe this.

He just thought Ash was worried about him and came over; feeling moved, he also curiously looked behind Ash.

Seeing no Diancie on either side, he couldn't help but wonder.

"Where is Princess Diancie?!"

"Princess……"

This term is really full of respect, as expected of you, Steven.

"Because it's too heavy, driving over is inconvenient, so I put it away."

While speaking, Ash released Diancie.

Diancie's unique appearance appeared, instantly becoming the focus of the scene, Steven stared without blinking.

The cold and warm air also reported the transformation of the Diamond Ore Country one by one.

Successfully gained Diancie's thanks.

"Steven you are a good person, Diancie thanks you!"

"Princess……"

Being thanked by Diancie made Steven's eyes red, tears of excitement about to fall.

Mikeli: "……"

Researchers: "……"

Everyone glanced at Ash, then looked toward Shenao Champion Xiluona, feeling embarrassed inside,

Da Wu/Champion, image! Watch your image!

"Cough cough, it's about time to take me to have a look at the wooden slips."

In the end, it was Ash who interrupted Da Wu's excited emotions.
