"Oh, is that so?"
Just then, the eldest sister, Sakura, also came to Ye Feng's side. The three sisters surrounded Ye Feng, making Xiao Gang so envious he was drooling.
"In that case, Ye Feng, can you also persuade Xiao Xia for me?"
Ye Feng nodded and said to Xiao Xia, "Xiao Xia, you see..."
Ye Feng only managed to say a few words before Xiao Xia crossed her arms and said, "Fine, I'll help you this once for Ye Feng's sake."
Upon hearing that Xiao Xia was willing to help.
The three Cerulean sisters were overjoyed, and each kissed Ye Feng on the cheek.
Xiao Gang, who witnessed all this, became even more envious.
Xiao Zhi, on the other hand, was furious, not about this, but at Xiao Xia.
"Hey! Xiao Xia! Why is it that when Xiao Gang and I asked, it was useless, but when Brother Ye Feng said it, it worked?!"
But Xiao Xia completely ignored him, pulling her three sisters who were still surrounding Ye Feng.
"Alright! Let's go! Rehearsal!!!"
Xiao Xia followed her three sisters to rehearse.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng, Xiao Zhi, and Xiao Gang placed Xiao Xia's Horsea into the Cerulean Gym's swimming pool. Instantly, the listless Horsea recovered its vigor.
"Brother Ye Feng, aren't you going to watch Xiao Xia and the others rehearse?"
"No, you two go ahead. I'll go outside Cerulean City for some fresh air."
"Oh, alright then."
Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang headed towards the rehearsal room, while Ye Feng left the Cerulean Gym.
As for what happened next, if Ye Feng remembered correctly.
It was that.
Xiao Xia was playing the mermaid princess, who lived in the sea from a young age, carefree with water-type Pokémon.
Ayame and Botan played the villains, destroying everything.
And the eldest sister, Sakura, played the prince who saved the princess.
This story was very cliché.
But thanks to the Team Rocket trio in the end.
This cliché story became lively and interesting.
Although the Team Rocket trio was sent blasting off again in the end.
"Hmm? Speak of the devil, aren't those the Team Rocket trio?"
As soon as he exited the Cerulean Gym, Ye Feng saw the Team Rocket trio standing in front of a huge poster of a water ballet, wondering about something.
Ye Feng ignored them and walked past them.
After all, that was something for Xiao Zhi to handle.
A moment later.
"Whoa, a Pikachu with red tattoos."
Meowth looked at Ye Feng and his Pikachu, who were already walking away.
"Where?"
Kojiro swayed left and right.
Musashi was much the same.
Meowth was speechless and said, "Alright, alright, it's just a Pikachu with red tattoos. Are they worth as much as these water-type Pokémon?"
It pointed at the Pokémon on the poster from the Cerulean Gym.
"Alright! Operation Pokémon capture has begun!!!"
The three raised their arms and cheered.
Then, they sneakily slipped into the Cerulean Gym.
Ye Feng left Cerulean City and found a patch of grass near the city.
He took out the only Poké Ball on his waist.
He stared at the red and white ball, a strange smile appearing on his face.
Ye Feng's appearance was already ethereally handsome, so this smile, instead of being creepy, was infinitely alluring.
"Caterpie, come out!"
Ye Feng released the Caterpie that trainer Akihiko had given as debt payment due to lack of funds.
Having not seen the light of day for a long, long time, Caterpie was very happy to come out.
But upon seeing Ye Feng and that Pikachu, it trembled all over.
Ye Feng stared at this Caterpie.
He chuckled, "You should understand what I'm saying. Although you were Akihiko's Pokémon, you are mine now, so you must obey me, understand?"
Normally, if it were someone else's Pokémon.
Whether traded or obtained in this manner.
The Pokémon would often disobey their trainer.
However, this Caterpie nodded and immediately obeyed, without any issues. The reason was that it feared Ye Feng, especially that Pikachu that tormented it.
Ye Feng looked at this Caterpie with great satisfaction.
However, he seemed to recall something.
He then put Caterpie back into its ball.
Then, he and Pikachu walked towards the depths of the forest.
As they walked deeper into the forest, a large green caterpillar was lying on a patch of grass eating.
"Pikachu, use Thundershock."
Ye Feng commanded his Pikachu.
"Pika!"
Pikachu expertly used Thundershock. Faced with this sudden sneak attack, the wild Caterpie had no time to react and was knocked out by Thundershock.
Looking at Pikachu like this.
Ye Feng couldn't help but recall when he had just paired up with this Pikachu.
This Pikachu, unable to control the power it gained from eating other Pokémon, often used moves with too much power, accidentally killing other Pokémon in its attacks.
This was a common occurrence.
After all, it was like Zekrom unleashing a full-power Fusion Bolt on a Caterpie.
Let alone a Pikachu with tens of thousands of base stats.
Therefore, during that period, Pikachu had been training to control its power.
Now, its control had reached mastery.
Seeing the wild Caterpie knocked out.
Ye Feng released his own Caterpie.
Caterpie was quite bewildered upon being released, not knowing what to do, but it soon understood.
Ye Feng brought it and Pikachu to the unconscious Caterpie.
Ye Feng squatted down, pointed at the wild Caterpie, and said:
"Caterpie, eat it."
Caterpie was stunned at these words.
Its two black eyes revealed disbelief.
Immediately after: "I know you can understand me. Eat it, and you will officially become my Pokémon."
Caterpie stared at Ye Feng's expressionless face, trembling all over.
Did it hear wrong?
It was a Caterpie! An insect!
It normally ate grass and leaves!!!
It didn't eat meat!!
And if you were to let it eat meat, that would be one thing!
Now, you actually wanted it to eat its own kind!
Demonic! Devil!!!!
In any species, who would eat their own kind?!
Isn't this pure perversion?!
Therefore, despite being terrified of Ye Feng and that Pikachu, this Caterpie still made no move.
It truly lacked the courage to take a bite.
'What? Not eating?'
Pikachu looked at Caterpie.
Using the language between Pokémon.
Caterpie: 'Brother Pikachu, I've always eaten grass and leaves, never meat, let alone my own kind!!'
In fact, Caterpie couldn't help but inwardly retort: 'You, Pikachu, you tell me to eat it, but do you dare to eat it yourself?!'
Seeing that Caterpie was still making no move, Ye Feng was not in a hurry.
He could naturally understand the conversation between Pokémon.
Therefore, he said to Pikachu, "Pikachu, since this little friend has doubts, why don't you give it a demonstration?"
