Everyone bore some responsibility for this tragic outcome.
But Ye Feng felt his eldest disciple was simply too weak.
If it were him, he could have definitely counter-killed Ah Si.
Ye Feng shook his head.
He turned and prepared to leave for the next gym location, Cerulean City.
But then, a Nurse Joy appeared behind him.
"Nurse Joy? You're here to join the fun too?"
Ye Feng looked at this Joy, his initially smiling face gradually losing its grin.
This was because he noticed this particular Joy seemed different from the others.
Every Nurse Joy Ye Feng had encountered wore a uniform of cute and sexy nurse attire, exposing long, fair legs.
But the Joy before him wasn't wearing a nurse's uniform at all.
She had on a black tracksuit top and a black skirt on the bottom.
And the biggest difference from other Joys was:
Other Nurse Joys, upon seeing Ye Feng, would have eyes full of stars, practically wanting to cling to him.
But this black-skirted Joy's face was one of utter indifference.
Her gaze towards Ye Feng was like looking at an ordinary male, without the slightest flicker of emotion.
Ye Feng touched his nose, "What kind of professional Joy are you?"
As is widely known, the Joy family primarily produced Nurse Joys.
However, they also produced Joys in other professions.
For example, Coordinator, Judge, and Inspector.
But these were rare.
And they were all high-ranking members of the Joy family.
The Joy family was a typically matriarchal lineage.
Although all Joys looked identical, there were still differences in status.
Ordinary Nurse Joys dutifully served as nurses.
The higher-ranking Joys within the family could directly choose to become Coordinators, Judges, or Inspectors.
Of course, ordinary Joys could also pursue these roles. But due to the strong influence of their genes, these ordinary Joys from the Joy family yearned to become nurses from childhood.
Even if there were exceptions, they had to slowly climb the ranks while still attending to their nursing duties.
Therefore, any Joy serving in a different capacity undoubtedly held a significant position within the Joy family.
"Hello, Ye Feng, I am Inspector Joy."
The Joy stated.
An Inspector was akin to a secret agent.
"I am in charge of the missing Pokémon populations in the Kanto and Johto regions."
"Like the Clefairy population on Mt. Moon, the Pokémon in the Safari Zone, the Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise on Blastoise Island, or the missing Charizards in Charizard Valley, these serious incidents are under my jurisdiction."
Ye Feng froze upon hearing this. Wait, weren't all these incidents Inspector Joy mentioned exactly what he had done?
"Is that so?"
"Then what brings you here?"
Ye Feng frowned.
"Just passing by."
Inspector Joy replied blandly.
"Oh, passing by, hmm. But those incidents you mentioned, I know a bit about them. Aren't several of them the work of Team Rocket?"
Inspector Joy smiled, "Indeed, several of those incidents point towards Team Rocket, but the true culprit might not be them, but someone else entirely."
Ye Feng remained silent.
If he weren't certain that he had left no trace when he acted,
He would have thought this Joy was here to arrest him.
But that was impossible.
Because if someone like Ye Feng were suspected, even with a slight hint of suspicion,
It wouldn't be just one Joy, but a swarm of Inspectors.
So Ye Feng had nothing to worry about.
After all, with absolute power, nothing in the world could trap him.
He had already obtained the badge from the Cerulean Gym.
Even though this incident had occurred within the gym,
Ye Feng was ultimately going to leave this city.
Just as Ye Feng was about to depart.
Inspector Joy suddenly smiled.
Ye Feng turned, asking her why she was smiling.
She said, "No wonder so many Joys in the family like you. Indeed, you have a handsome face, much more so than you appear on television."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Mentioning this piqued Ye Feng's curiosity.
"Do you like me then?"
Inspector Joy's expression returned to its usual coolness, "I am not like those other Joys. I am not interested in you."
Ye Feng shrugged, "Doesn't matter. By the way, I heard that if one were to marry a Joy from your family, the man has to move in, right?"
Inspector Joy seemed to have a lot of free time now, as she replied:
"Yes, anyone who marries a Joy must move in, and the children will take our surname. Furthermore, even if the man doesn't move in, it doesn't matter if the child takes your surname or not, because we Joys will only give birth to girls, never boys."
Ye Feng nodded.
He thought to himself that the Joy family's genes were indeed powerful.
At this moment.
Inspector Joy suddenly said, "But you are an exception."
"I'm an exception?"
Ye Feng laughed, "What do you mean?"
Inspector Joy: "Men have no status in our Joy family. They are merely for procreation. Although it's monogamous, if desired, a Joy can exchange husbands with another Joy, as long as the other Joy agrees."
Ye Feng: "???"
"What does that have to do with me?!"
Inspector Joy: "With so many Joys in our family liking you, I imagine you'll be quite busy."
Ye Feng: "..."
Ye Feng was utterly speechless.
This Inspector Joy truly defied appearances, spouting such nonsense.
"Alright, I'm leaving. I need to head to the next gym location, Fuchsia City."
"Really? Coincidentally, I'm going there too. Shall we go together?"
Ye Feng curled his lips.
"As you wish."
The two arrived at the beach in Cerulean City.
Ye Feng summoned Rayquaza.
Inspector Joy, on the other hand, summoned the legendary Pokémon Latias.
Ye Feng looked at Latias.
He thought, the Joy family truly spanned the globe.
Legendary Pokémon were unattainable for most people.
And yet, Inspector Joys each had one?
Flying high in the sky.
Ye Feng had already grown accustomed to long-distance travel by flight.
He glanced at Inspector Joy beside him and found her to be in high spirits.
"Are you the legendary Pokémon Rayquaza?"
At this moment, Latias was flying parallel to Rayquaza.
It was Latias's first time seeing Rayquaza.
So it asked out of curiosity.
But Rayquaza remained aloof.
It offered no reply.
Latias was clearly a lively young girl.
She asked again, "Rayquaza, I usually travel the world and have seen many legendary Pokémon, even encountering Lugia. But I've never seen a Rayquaza. Where do you Rayquaza usually live?"
Upon hearing this question.
Rayquaza was silent for a moment.
It still didn't answer.
Firstly, it felt that as a mighty legendary Pokémon, it needed to maintain its dignity and not casually converse with the weak.
Secondly, where would it know where other Rayquaza lived?!
"Oh, oh, I just remembered. You evolved from a Caterpie, unlike those who were born as Rayquaza. It's normal you don't know where they live."
This Latias truly had a way with words.
You don't hit someone in the face, and the same applies to Pokémon!
