"If that was really a Ditto with a base stat total of 288, a piece of junk, why is it so strong?"
Lambda and Lance were also confused.
At this moment, Athena suddenly said, "Lambda, Lance, I remember you had over a hundred Team Rocket members with you back then, right?"
"With so many members, plus the two of you, even if the three legendary birds, Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos, all appeared, you would have had the strength to fight them. You could have risked it and tried to capture that Ditto."
Hearing this.
Lambda and Lance, who were on their respective Birdo and Swellow, almost fell off their mounts in anger.
Lambda: "If you're so capable, why don't you go?"
"Didn't I say earlier that both my and Lance's ace Pokémon, Muk and Crobat, were eaten by that guy in one bite? Are you asking us both to risk our lives there?"
"But you had so many people..."
"What's the use of having so many people?! That Ditto is as strong as Boss Giovanni's Mewtwo! You want to catch it?!"
"Do you really think these legendary Pokémon are like the three Starlys?"
Lambda cursed profusely.
If he and Lance hadn't made the decisive decision to retreat, they would have been eaten by that Ditto long ago.
It was just a pity that their ace Pokémon were gone just like that...
And without their aces, their strength was greatly diminished.
It was unknown how much effort it would take to train two more.
"Alright, stop arguing. I still think something is wrong. Even a mutated Ditto shouldn't be this strong."
"It's lucky if it has the strength of a Zapdos, let alone Mewtwo or Lugia."
"We're almost at the base anyway. We'll ask the doctor and the others later."
Apollo felt his head throbbing.
"We humans are ultimately not very knowledgeable about these legendary Pokémon."
"Could it be that the Ditto is actually Lugia, and Lugia also has the ability to transform into other Pokémon?"
Athena and the other two fell silent.
What Apollo said was not unreasonable.
...
Night, with a bright moon and sparse stars.
A crescent moon hung in the dark sky, with few stars visible.
Ye Feng was currently on an eighth-floor balcony.
He was only wearing swim trunks.
His upper body was bare, revealing a perfectly sculpted physique, coupled with a face so handsome it could drive countless young girls to infatuation.
He had just taken off his own pants.
Just moments ago, he and You Dengjiaozi had concluded their "love evolution."
Afterward, You Dengjiaozi suddenly received a call and left.
Ye Feng, on the other hand, came to the balcony to enjoy the night view, and to interrogate Pikachu.
He was currently in Macha City, a small city located between Saffron City and Cinnabar Island.
This city had no Gym. It was originally unremarkable.
However, it was home to an extraordinary figure, Professor Akihabara, who invented the teleportation system.
Therefore.
This city had become somewhat famous.
And the place they were currently staying was the best hotel in Macha City.
"Pikachu, the Pokémon corpses were all leftovers from you, weren't they?"
Ye Feng looked at his Pikachu.
Pikachu nodded, not hiding anything.
"Then, were the Team Rocket members also killed by you?"
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. Pikachu continued to nod.
Ye Feng was silent for a moment.
This Pikachu was becoming more and more ruthless.
He liked it.
"What about that female Pikachu?"
"Pika, Pika."
Pikachu explained.
"She insisted on following you?"
"But she seemed quite afraid of you too?"
Pikachu gave a cold smile.
Of course, she was afraid, having witnessed the terrifying scene of him eating Pokémon.
"Mm, anyway, one Pikachu. Since You Dengjiaozi likes her, I'll give her to her."
"However, Pikachu, you really need to change this habit of eating so many Pokémon at once."
"Last time at Mt. Moon, it was whatever, but if there were no Team Rocket members to take the blame this time, the Officer Jenny family would investigate, and both of us would have to flee."
"Pika, Pika."
"Hmm? You mean, when you ate Pokémon, you transformed into a regular Pikachu?"
"I didn't expect you to be quite clever."
Ye Feng smiled.
He gently stroked Pikachu's soft head.
"How about this, from now on, when you want to eat Pokémon, transform into the appearance of other Pokémon. That way, no one will investigate us."
Pikachu nodded.
Just then, the hotel room door opened.
You Dengjiaozi returned, but her face was full of worry, looking rather unhappy.
"What happened?"
Ye Feng pulled her into his arms and closed the door.
"Something has happened in the family that requires my attention. It's quite urgent, and I have to leave tomorrow."
You Dengjiaozi was silent for a moment. "So my journey to collect Gym badges has to end, and I can't accompany you any longer."
Ye Feng was a bit surprised. Although he had thought they would part ways someday, he hadn't expected it to be so soon.
"Don't worry, even though I won't be able to collect all the badges, I can still participate in the Indigo League conference."
You Dengjiaozi became playful again.
"However, I really don't want to leave you."
She hugged Ye Feng's waist, her head pressed tightly against his chest, closing her eyes and feeling the warmth he brought her.
Ye Feng gently stroked her head.
"Since that's the case, let's have a good time tonight!"
Upon hearing this, You Dengjiaozi's cheeks flushed.
She let out a cute, soft sound, "Hmph!"
But she was still very proactive.
That night.
It was a fierce battle, full of intensity.
It wasn't until past three in the morning that they finished and fell into a deep sleep, leaning against each other.
At nine in the morning, they packed their belongings and went downstairs.
When they reached the front desk.
Ye Feng noticed that the young lady at the front desk kept staring at him.
Only after he and You Dengjiaozi had left the hotel did the front desk lady reluctantly avert her gaze.
At the same time, she sighed regretfully:
"Alas, they say beautiful women are paired with handsome men. When will I ever meet my prince charming?"
"Pfft."
Hearing this, another young lady at the hotel front desk burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at? Am I not a beautiful woman?"
"Yes, you are. But not all beautiful women end up with handsome men."
"Look around us, in life, many couples that end up together have one party who is better looking than the other. So, I think compatibility is the most important thing."
"Then why are you always infatuated with that former Kanto champion, Red?"
The first front desk lady said disdainfully.
The second one shook her head and smiled wryly. "What do you know? Life always needs some fantasy. Besides, Red is the former champion of the Kanto region. What's wrong with me being infatuated with him?"
The first one: "It's better to be infatuated with Green than Red. Red looks like a dullard, silent and taciturn. Green is different. Although he looks arrogant, that's confidence and charm!!"
Their understanding of Red and Green came entirely from TV interviews and the like.
It was equivalent to how modern fans understood their idols.
