But soon, the trainers who gloated were also punished.
""
At this moment, Xiao Guang, whose face was covered in pillows, was stunned for a moment. Looking at the round penguin who had successfully ambushed him and was laughing wildly while holding his belly, he immediately became angry, bared his teeth and claws, and threw the pillow back in retaliation.
"Po, Ga, Man!!!"
Chapter 178 Girl and Idol
The next morning, after instructing the maids on the day's farm work, Byakuya and Officer Jenny rode their police motorcycles to Einza City.
Compared to the quiet and peaceful Hiyori Town, the deserted and desolate Seihō City, and the flower-filled Hanaen Town, Yosuga City clearly has a more modern metropolitan feel.
Jumping off the parked police car and motorcycle, one is greeted by a landscape of towering skyscrapers.
The wide streets were bustling with people. Some were dressed in suits with briefcases over their shoulders, heading towards office buildings; others were opening the shutters of shops along the street to begin a new day of business; still others were trainers preparing to challenge the gyms, strolling along the streets with their little Chimchar, marveling at the sights along the way.
Meanwhile, a tall electronic screen at the intersection was playing an advertisement for the Wallace Cup. Wallace, the Gym Leader and an important initiator, was seen raising his hat and standing side by side with his signature Pokémon, Milotic.
"Bai Ye, next time I come to Rihe Town, I will bring the other sisters from the Officer Jenny family with me."
"Okay, if you need any help with anything at the police station, remember to come to me anytime."
After bidding a tender farewell to Officer Jenny in front of the police station, Bai Ye's remaining schedule was simple and straightforward.
First, go to the company's sales building to sample the upcoming Pokémon-themed food, then discuss recent work matters with the secretary, and finally meet up with Dawn at the Pokémon Contest venue.
"Hmm... this is a badge box?"
Just as Bai Ye was walking along the street toward the company's sales building, following the location Olivia had sent in advance, he suddenly paused, bent down, and picked up a square box that gleamed like molten gold at his feet.
It's obvious that this was probably left behind by a rookie trainer after failing a gym challenge.
Bai Ye gently opened the iron box, looked at the empty interior, then at the Fate Dojo located not far away, and made a judgment.
After his first attempt at the gym ended in defeat, and his Pokémon lost its ability to battle, he rushed to the Pokémon Center for treatment. In his disappointment and panic, it's understandable that he accidentally left some items behind.
But nowadays, do the new generation of trainers all like to throw away badge boxes?
If I hadn't found it myself, I reckon a passerby would have just kicked it and it would have rolled into the drain cover next to it.
Bai Ye sighed helplessly, then turned to look at Gardevoir, who was silently following beside him.
As a qualified citizen of the Pokémon world, one should naturally follow local customs and, within one's own capabilities, help these trainers who travel around.
"Gardevoir, can you find the trainer of the badge box by predicting the future?"
"Shh~"
As she lowered her head and softly murmured, the pale blue figure beside her slowly closed her eyes.
The so-called ability to foresee the future is not a technique, but a special ability of the Gardevoir race.
In the latest edition of the Pokédex, edited and published by Dr. Yukinari Oki, the most authoritative scholar in the research community, Gardevoir is classified as an inclusive Pokémon. It has the ability to foresee the future and can know the dangerous situations that will occur in the near future.
Of course, besides being able to passively sense danger, if one is strong enough, one can also make predictions directly like this—simply by having the idea of finding the owner of the badge box and consuming a lot of mental energy, one can glimpse her appearance and location.
"Shh~"
The seemingly aloof Gardevoir opened her eyes and shook her head at the trainer.
They don't need to go out of their way to look for it; the owner will come back later.
In Yukino City, in front of the Pokémon Center.
"Waaah~ Why?"
"Chiji~"
Haruka walked side by side with the newly revitalized female turkey on the desolate street, looking dejected.
Today, they failed in their first dojo challenge.
The match was a 2v2 contest. Under the fierce attack of Melissa, the Gym Leader of the City of Fate, her Torchic and Wurmple couldn't even put up a decent fight and were easily defeated by the Gym Leader's Gastly.
"As expected, I'm still not cut out to be a battle trainer."
The chestnut-haired girl, her eyes brimming with tears, kicked a pebble on the roadside in a deflated manner.
Her father, Senri, is a renowned Gym Leader, so powerful that he is hailed as the successor to the Elite Four of the Hoenn region.
Sapphire, the older sister, officially began her journey a year ago after obtaining her Pokédex. In her debut year alone, she swept through eight gyms and won the Hoenn Hoenn Tournament. Now, she is aiming to become a Pokémon Master and has also begun her journey in the Sinnoh region.
When it was his turn, his first gym challenge ended in a crushing defeat; it was absolutely awful.
May sighed softly, suddenly recalling the figure who single-handedly wiped out the beast tide in the Sunny Forest—this was also why she had wanted to become a battle trainer and why she had come from the Hoenn region to Erimo City in Sinnoh as the first stop on her journey.
She wanted to get close to the black-haired youth, and even though she had a phobia of Pokémon and so-called Pokémon trainers due to her childhood experiences, she mustered up the courage to choose this path.
However, before even meeting the idol he had been longing for, he suffered such a painful and crushing defeat.
Wandering aimlessly through the bustling streets, the chestnut-haired girl suddenly realized, while organizing her backpack, that she seemed to have left behind something important.
"Hey, my badge case seems to be missing?"
After searching through their backpacks and pockets, and even returning to the Pokémon Center to ask Nurse Joy, they still couldn't find the special box for the badge. May, Nijigae, and Ukyo were undoubtedly in a panic.
Similar to the Pokédex, the Gym Badge Collection Box is also an important item that battle trainers need to keep safe.
Without this symbol, not only would she be unable to participate in next year's regional league tournament, but she probably wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the gym challenge. If she wants to regain her qualification, she either has to find the badge box or go to the Pokémon Center to get a replacement.
With this in mind, Haruka and Torchic anxiously began searching along the street they had come from.
But the operation to retrieve the lost badge box failed just a few tens of minutes later.
"Turkey, you didn't see it either, did you?"
"Chiji~"
Like its dejected trainer, Torchic shook its little head in disappointment.
"Oh well, then I'll just have to go and get it replaced again."
After receiving a positive reply from the Pokémon, May sighed helplessly.
After all, so much time has passed since it was lost that it's understandable that it can't be found.
Fortunately, there weren't any badges in her badge case, so the loss wasn't too great. She only needed to re-register at the Pokémon Center. Although the replacement fee was a hefty 1 League Coins, she had no choice but to pay it, even with tears in her eyes, so she could continue challenging Gym battles.
"Hello, is this what you're looking for?"
Just as May lowered her head in dejection, preparing to take Torchic back to the Pokémon Center to get it renewed, she suddenly heard a gentle male voice in her ear. The tone and manner of the voice inexplicably gave her a sense of familiarity.
Then, the badge box she had accidentally lost a few hours earlier and searched for all the way with a sweaty face came into view.
"Yes, yes, thank you so much for your help!"
Xiaoyao tremblingly reached out and took the square box she had lost and found, holding it in her hands and bowing sincerely to express her gratitude.
"You're welcome. Next time you finish a gym challenge, remember to check your backpack beforehand. Losing something so valuable is definitely a hassle."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you again for helping me find the badge box."
After the chestnut-haired girl bowed deeply and thanked him repeatedly, she looked up and finally saw the man's face clearly.
With black hair and black eyes, she exudes an aura that is both approachable and succubus-like, while a Gardevoir stands silently beside her, its aloofness making it impossible to get close or profane her.
Having traveled all the way from the distant Hoenn region, the girl finally met the idol she had longed for.
"You...you are Mr. Baiye?!"
The author says:
Author's Note: The author has made some revisions. In this book, Haruka and Safia from the special chapter are sisters, since they look almost identical. However, the main character designs have not been changed much (Ruby is not included).
Chapter 179 Olive's Wedding Dress and Silk Feet (6100 words)
Today is destined to be an extraordinary day for Xiaoyao.
First, he suffered a crushing defeat in his first battle against Melissa, who swept him two opponents in a row. Then, he accidentally lost his valuable badge box and frantically searched for it. In the end, he not only recovered it but also met the idol he had been longing for.
"Mr. Baiye, I...I've seen you on TV before. I've watched the video of you piloting Articuno to fight the Forest Riot Pokémon many times."
"You're Miss Haruka, right?"
Compared to the girl with rosy cheeks, who stammered as she recounted his previous exploits in the Hiyori Forest, Byakuya hesitated.
The girl's appearance gave her a sense of familiarity.
Her smooth chestnut-brown curly hair cascaded down to her waist, her bright, clear turquoise eyes shone through the water; her nose was high and straight, her lips, as delicate as cherry blossoms, were moist and luscious, and her porcelain-smooth, fair cheeks were lightly tinged with a blush.
As the gaze shifted slightly, beneath her delicate collarbone were a pair of round, fleshy mounds that contrasted sharply with her pure and innocent appearance—the plump, overly full breasts that didn't suit her age stretched the conservative, thick red top, and combined with the girl's slender waist and dazzlingly white, graceful calves under the pleated skirt, Bai Ye couldn't help but glance at them a few more times.
Hmm...isn't this May, the female protagonist of the Hoenn region in the Pokémon anime?
"You...you know me?!"
Upon hearing Bai Ye pronounce her name accurately, Xiao Yao paused, then suddenly widened her beautiful turquoise eyes.
For a young girl in the throes of first love, nothing is more exciting than meeting her long-awaited idol, or even...
My idol even recognizes me!!!
"Hmm, because I had considered becoming a battle trainer before, I did some research on the gym trainers in various league regions. If I remember correctly, your father is Mr. Senri? Even in the Sinnoh region, quite a few people have heard of the Petalburg Gym Leader's reputation~"
Since it was impossible to directly reveal his past life, Bai Ye thought for a moment before explaining to the chestnut-haired girl whose eyes were practically sparkling with excitement.
In terms of authenticity, he was not lying; the reputation of that Petalburg Gym Leader was indeed considerable.
In the special manga of his previous life, he was even hailed as "the legendary trainer who mastered Rayquaza".
Of course, manga storylines are just manga storylines. In the real Pokémon world, gaining the approval of a legendary Pokémon is virtually impossible, let alone controlling Rayquaza, which isn't exactly docile by nature.
Even so, it cannot be denied that May's father, Senri, is a powerful trainer. His strength is so great that he has been officially designated by the Hoenn League as the next successor to the Elite Four.
"I see"
Xiaoyao nodded in sudden realization.
The dojo leader wasn't a secret agent, and she had been interviewed by a local television station with her father when she was a child, so it's understandable that she knew her own name.

However, it was visibly clear that the light in her eyes quickly dimmed.
When talking about her father, the gym leader, Xiaoyao felt a surge of pride, but then she immediately thought of her crushing defeat at the Eri Dojo today. The disappointment and shame overshadowed even the joy of meeting her idol.
Seeing this, Bai Ye was naturally able to keenly perceive the chestnut-haired girl's thoughts.
Because her father is the gym leader, it must be very embarrassing for her to have suffered such a crushing defeat in a gym challenge.
Don't be too discouraged.
Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then softly offered words of comfort.
"I'm guessing you just finished your gym challenge not long ago, right?"
"It's normal for a rookie trainer to lose their first gym battle."
"Ugh... I tried my best to command them, but I still couldn't defeat even one of Gym Leader Melissa's Pokémon."
Hearing her idol's caring words, Xiaoyao felt a warmth in her heart, but she still lowered her head in frustration.
With her father, a gym leader, ahead of her, and her older sister, who won the league championship after a year of travel, the pressure on her was immense. This crushing defeat in the gym challenge was undoubtedly like a heavy hammer blow to her heart.
"I guess I'm just not cut out for the path of becoming a Pokémon Trainer."

Overwhelmed with frustration, Xiaoyao suddenly let out a soft moan and looked at Baiye, who was gently placing his hand on her shoulder, her face flushed.
"Mr. Bai... Baiye"
"It's not a good thing to lack self-confidence."
Bai Ye simply patted the chestnut-haired girl on the shoulder and gently retorted.
"Some people are better at observing the physical condition of Pokémon, so they are more suitable to be Pokémon breeders. Others enjoy the fun of battling, so they are more suitable to be Pokémon battle trainers. Everyone's talents and interests are different, so losing a gym battle does not negate yourself."
"Shh~"
The aloof Gardevoir beside her nodded slightly in agreement.
In Baiye's memory, May seemed to have been left with an unforgettable childhood trauma because of Pokémon—when she was swimming in the ocean as a child, fearing that many jellyfish would suddenly appear around her, May shouted for help to her parents on the shore. However, her mother, Mitsuko, mistook her daughter, who was wearing a blue swimsuit and swim cap, for a jellyfish and tried to catch it with a Poké Ball. As a result, May developed a psychological trauma related to Pokémon and Pokémon Trainers.
Although she has now received her starter Pokémon and started her journey, for this outwardly optimistic and cheerful girl who is actually somewhat fragile inside, the experience of being utterly defeated in the gym challenge not only makes her doubt her own abilities, but also inevitably makes her feel disgusted with Pokémon again.
"Becoming a great Pokémon Trainer is never determined by winning or losing battles, but by gradually understanding and responding to the feelings of Pokémon through interactions with them."
