Manch was still in shock from defeating Roserade and had forgotten that he had come to capture a Pokémon. After being reminded by Shigeru, he took the red and white balls that Shigeru had given him and threw them at Roserade.
The Poké Ball flew out of my hand and landed squarely on Roselia before hitting the ground.
Manch stared intently at the Poké Ball, watching it sway slightly. Only after the red light on the Poké Ball switch went out did a bright smile spread across his face.
"Awesome! I caught Roselia! I have my first Pokémon!" Manchong shouted excitedly and immediately ran over to pick up the Poké Ball.
"Brother Mao, look, I caught Roselia!" Man Chong showed off the Poké Ball in his hand to Mao, forgetting that he was able to catch Pokémon thanks to Mao's help.
"congratulations."
Shigeru nodded with satisfaction, but inwardly he felt helpless, still wondering if he would have a chance to meet Ralts again; it seemed there was little chance.
After all, Ralts can sense the emotions of living beings, and only positive emotions can attract Ralts.
Someone like Gary, whose thoughts are always about Gardevoir and whose intentions are impure, will find it difficult to win Ralts' favor.
"Fully charged, let's go to the Pokémon Center," said Gary.
"Ah."
I'd be satisfied with just one Poison Rose that I've fully charged up.
So the two returned to Greenwood Town and went to the Pokémon Center to treat Roselia.
Inside the Pokémon Center.
"Brother Xiao Mao, I'm counting on you for the rest of the time." Man Chong said, his face full of trepidation.
Although the Pokémon has been captured, the most crucial thing is still dealing with Manchong's family. They don't even allow Manchong to keep Pokémon. Now that he has captured Rosera, he still needs to get their consent first, otherwise just keeping Pokémon will be a problem.
Fortunately, Roselia is a Grass-type Pokémon, so it can survive on water and sunlight even without food. This was Manch's initial plan. Even if his family disagreed, Manch could still raise Roselia.
"Don't worry, I believe your parents will agree," Xiao Mao said.
Although he didn't encounter Ralts this time, Gary still has high hopes for Manchurch. Gary is happy to see people who love Pokémon become trainers.
After the poison rose was cured, Shigeru went back to Mitsuru's house with him.
There was still an hour left before dinner, but Manchong's parents and sister were not at home.
Manying and her parents went to the hospital to take care of Long Er. They had dinner together yesterday and understood that Long Er had married into Manying's family. They finally understood how Long Er had found such a beautiful wife.
Unfortunately, the people of the Hoenn region are very open-minded and don't care much about marrying into another family. If it were in the Kanto region, Ryuji would definitely be ridiculed by other men.
"Will your parents be back at noon?" Xiao Mao asked.
"They probably will. They said last night they would bring food back."
Man Chong said, "Want to come to my room to play? I have a game console in my room, with all kinds of Pokémon games."
"Okay, let's go in and take a look."
Xiao Mao had nothing else to do, so he played some games to pass the time while waiting.
Manch led Shigeru into his room, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw two weaker and smaller elves inside.
Xiao Mao was dumbfounded.
"La!"
"La!!"
Both elves were startled when they saw Xiao Mao. One elf hid behind the other, looking at Xiao Mao timidly. The other elf, though not afraid, was also very nervous.
“Ralts, don’t worry, this is Gary. We’ve seen him before at the League tournament,” Manch said.
Xiao Mao was confused. Doesn't a full charge mean there are no Pokémon?
What's going on with these two Ralts? They even know each other and are both fully charged.
Most importantly... one of these two Ralts is a different color.
The variant Ralts has blue hair, and the part of its body that resembles a skirt is slightly pink.
If this shiny Ralts is bred into Gardevoir and then undergoes Mega Evolution, it will become a Gardevoir in a black dress, a truly aloof and cool queen.
【LV10 Ralts♀/Near Elite Four】
【LV12 Ralts♀/Near Elite Four】
Both Ralts have the potential to be Elite Four members. Although they are below Gary's required standard, Gary would still catch this shiny Ralts even if it only has the potential to become a Gym Leader.
352: Esports Girl Ralts
"Mantchong, what are these two Ralts...?" Gary looked at Mantchong, wanting to know what the relationship was between the two Ralts and Mantchong.
“They are my friends. When I’m bored at home alone, they come to play with me,” Man Chong said.
"Do your parents know Ralts?" Gary asked.
Manchong shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Even with full charge, he couldn't raise any Pokémon, so naturally he didn't dare tell anyone that Ralts had asked him to play, fearing that his parents would chase the two Ralts away.
Xiao Mao was surprised. He didn't expect that he had met Ralts so early on, but he had kept it a secret because his family didn't approve.
"Don't these two Ralts have any family?" Gary asked.
"I don't know either. They just suddenly appeared in my backyard and were willing to play with me," Man Chong said.
Manch really hadn't thought about this question. Because of his weak health, Manch rarely went out. When he was lonely, he would play alone in his backyard. Just three months ago, he suddenly met these two Ralts, and they became friends and often came to play with him.
Gary knew very well that Ralts would not act alone; Gardevoir and Gallade were monogamous and would raise Ralts together.
Therefore, wherever Ralts is, there will definitely be two Gardevoirs nearby, or one Gardevoir and one Gallade.
The reason there are two Gardevoirs is that male Ralts can also evolve into Gardevoir, while Gallade is only available in males.
"Ralts, do you have family?" Manch asked.
"La!!"
The two Ralts trusted Full Charge and nodded to indicate that they had family.
"Oh, who are your family members? Have I met them?" Manchong asked curiously.
"La!" Although the two Ralts cannot speak, they can convey their emotions to Mt. Mt. The fact that they can come to play with Mt. Mt. naturally means they have their parents' permission.
Xiao Mao looked out the window. Gardevoir would take good care of Ralts. Even if they allowed Ralts to play with a fully charged one, they would still watch over it nearby.
Unfortunately, Gardevoir and Gallade were nowhere to be seen outside the window; they must be hiding somewhere, secretly watching us.
“Then let’s play together,” Man Chong said.
"La!!"
"La!!!"
The two Ralts were very happy. They had come to visit Manchong, but when they found he wasn't home, they waited in the room.
Fully charged, he immediately took out his latest PS5 and game controller and started playing Pokémon XD Tekken. It's a fighting game where the characters are naturally Pokémon. Most of the selected Pokémon are humanoid, which makes them more visually appealing. Gardevoir and Gallade were among the Pokémon in the game.
The two Ralts naturally love Gardevoir and Gallade the most. The battle method is very simple: Gary and the fully charged Ralts form one team, and the two Ralts form another team, and the two teams compete against each other.
A few rounds down.
"Hoo ho ho!"
"Hohoho...!"
The two Ralts immediately fell in love with battling Gary, and every time it was Gary's turn to battle, the two Ralts would vie to fight him.
As for the reason... it's certainly not because Xiao Mao is handsome.
It's not because Xiao Mao is bad at the game.
Because of his weak health, ManChong rarely goes out, so he can only play games at home. His skills are undoubtedly top-notch, definitely at a master level.
Under the full-charge training, the two Ralts are naturally quite skilled. Since they have never fought against anyone other than the full-charge player, the two Ralts have always been the ones getting beaten.
But today, Ralts finally experienced the feeling of crushing newbies, and it was incredibly satisfying.
Xiao Mao was a little frustrated, after all, he had been defeated by the Pokémon.
In this life, Xiao Mao doesn't play games much, but in his previous life, he was definitely a gaming addict and played a lot of games. He felt extremely frustrated when he was bullied by the two Ralts.
The two Ralts were overjoyed, and since they could sense Gary's emotions, the more frustrated Gary felt, the happier they were.
Looking at the two laughing Ralts, Gary felt that Ralts might not be as kind as he had imagined. The two Ralts were now looking like smug little devils.
Unfortunately, Shigeru wasn't familiar with the game, and even if he picked it up quickly, he was no match for two Ralts, so he could only keep getting beaten up.
But Xiao Mao wasn't one to be easily convinced.
Two hours later, Xiao Mao was so angry he almost crushed the controller.
"No more fun!!"
Xiao Mao threw the controller to the ground, ran to the window to catch his breath, looked at the scenery outside, and tried his best to keep a peaceful state of mind.
Manch was in an awkward situation. He had originally invited Xiaomao to help persuade his family, but he ended up being humiliated by his two apprentices. It wouldn't be good if Xiaomao didn't help him persuade his family.
"Little Mao, Ralts and the others didn't do it on purpose, they just wanted to show off their skills," Manchong comforted them.
"I'm not angry, just let it cool down a bit." Xiao Mao naturally wouldn't hold it against him, otherwise it would be too rude.
"La!!"
"La!!"
At that moment, the two Ralts teleported to the windowsill, each holding a pink fruit. This fruit was a Peach Blossom, which tasted just like a peach. It was not only sweet and delicious but also had detoxifying properties, and humans could eat it too.
"Did you pick these outside?" Xiao Mao asked.
"La!!"
The two Ralts nodded obediently, their previous smugness gone, and they became very sensible and obedient little girls, just like a warm little cotton-padded jacket.
"Thank you."
Xiao Mao thanked him and took the peach to taste. Although it wasn't fully ripe, it tasted pretty good, crisp and refreshing, with a stronger sour flavor.
"(The money is) fully charged, I'm sorry, I'm back late, sister." At this moment, the door was suddenly opened and Manying walked in.
"Hey! Xiao Mao!"
