Chapter 196
Lorze and Pheromosa embraced, locked in a fervent, passionate kiss. Pheromosa's
expression was one of profound disbelief, as if silently asking: Are there actually humans
perverted enough to do this to a Pokémon?
Yet, for some inexplicable reason, her body remained incredibly obedient, offering zero
resistance. She gradually accepted the teenager ' s desecration, slowly beginning to
reciprocate his movements.
Imperceptibly, their kissing intensified, their minds burning with feverish lust. Their bodies
ground against each other so desperately they couldn't stop.
Consequently, even Pheromosa completely failed to realize that her long legs had
somehow wrapped tightly around Lorze ' s waist, her "gates" thrown wide open and
utterly exposed to him.
As an absolute degenerate fuckboy, why the hell would Lorze hesitate? He dove straight
beneath her dress, executing a brutal, unyielding, deep-impact thrust!
In the aftermath, chaotic noises echoed from the study for the entire night. A human and
an Ultra Beast writhed wildly, completely losing track of how many times they climaxed...
It wasn't until the early hours of the following morning that the burning passion between
them finally began to cool. Only then did they realize they had accidentally devoured the
forbidden fruit entirely.
The most critical point was... she was currently overflowing, utterly stuffed to the brim
with his fish-skin eggs.
Other women usually received a protective barrier before being taken, but she—an Ultra
Beast—had been raw-dogged and completely claimed by a mere human...
Was this not the ultimate humiliation?!
No wonder Lorze kept insisting he was in no rush to make her his Pokémon. His true
objective all along was to make her his woman, wasn't it?!
I am an Ultra Beast!
A Beast!
My biological design template is literally a cockroach, and you actually managed to
stomach fucking me?!
"You absolute beast!"
Pheromosa locked her legs tightly around his waist, her eyes filled with deep resentment,
though there was remarkably little actual anger in her gaze.
This man was simply far too wicked, and far too skilled at identifying the perfect window
to strike.
Under the intoxicating atmosphere last night, both of them were swept up in the heat of
the moment. How was she supposed to refuse? The fact that he seized that exact
vulnerability to conquer her proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was absolute
trash!
She finally understood why women online constantly cursed fuckboys, yet invariably
ended up loving them more than anyone else.
Because... being manipulated by one genuinely felt incredibly pleasurable.
His stamina was monstrous, plowing her relentlessly throughout the entire night,ensuring that her euphoric high wasn't interrupted for a single microsecond.
Having been so violently and thoroughly satisfied, unless she harbored genuine hatred
for the man, how could she possibly despise him?
Furthermore, thinking about it logically, based on the biological timeline of the
Pheromosa species, she was indeed long overdue for mating. If she didn't mate soon,
she'd reach the biological age of a grandmother!
Wait, did that mean her chronological age was actually quite advanced?
Could I technically be old enough to be Lorze's grandmother???
And yet, she had been effortlessly seduced and driven to ecstasy by a brat, to the point
of actually engaging in intercourse with him.
Ah... why do I suddenly feel like I am the actual beast here?
"Did my beloved wife enjoy it?" Lorze said, beaming with satisfaction. Even he hadn't
anticipated securing a Champion-tier entity using this specific method.
Now, there was absolutely zero need to stress over whether she was willing to become
his Pokémon; she was unequivocally his woman now.
I refuse to believe that if I'm in danger in the future, Pheromosa would just stand by and
watch the father of her children get killed!
"If you accidentally create life, prepare yourself for a catastrophic spike in your expenses.
My children will not be cheap to raise,
" Pheromosa ground her teeth at his smug
expression, yet found herself completely powerless against him.
Following last night's relentless marathon, her mental ocean was visibly scarred with
traces of his presence. How was she supposed to know that his aggressive thrusting
wouldn't just violate her physical body, but forcefully penetrate and rewrite her
psychology as well?
Right now, her mind was entirely consumed by the wicked shadow of this bastard,
impossible to erase. She understood with absolute certainty that she was permanently
trapped by him for the rest of her life.
"Don't worry. There's highly likely a massive reproductive barrier between our species.
Even if you want to create life, you probably mathematically can't,
" Lorze continued to
thrust into her while speaking.
"Excuse me? So I allowed my body to be defiled, and my bloodline still ends with me?"
Pheromosa frowned, highly dissatisfied.
While her concept of marriage didn't require anything as trivial as a diamond ring, there
still had to be a tangible result, right?
"I was just throwing out a theory. Who knows? If we grind hard enough, maybe it' s
possible. Worst-case scenario, you can just learn how to use Transform. If you shift into a
human female, conception is mathematically guaranteed,
" Lorze instantly pivoted back
to manipulating her into voluntarily assuming a Waifu form.
"Don't think I don't know you ' re only suggesting that to satisfy your own depraved
fetishes! Don't even dream about it!" Pheromosa snapped coldly. She swore she would
absolutely never fall for this man's bullshit again!
Though she said that, she later secretly sought Gardevoir ' s assistance to swap her
Ability to Imposter. Whatever... I saw that Esdeath character in an anime, and she
perfectly matches my aesthetic. I suppose I can alter my form slightly in that direction...
In the hours that followed, Lorze spent a little more time accompanying Pheromosa
before finally heading down to the main hall to service his wives.
Setting aside the fact that his mother was nowhere near satisfied, Auntie Roxanne and
the other MILFs had been hosting a warm-up orgy for an entire night. If he didn't emerge
soon, they would likely breach the study by force to drag him out.
And it wasn't just them. The moment Lorze dropped a "I' m back" message into his
massive harem group chat, the women across the entire villa complex went into a frenzy,
lining up to demand he relieve their accumulated desires.
Looking at the queue of several hundred mother-daughter pairs, Lorze marveled at the
harmonious nature of his harem while his mouth twitched involuntarily.
When the hell did I conquer this many women? Isn't this a little excessive?
Even if I service just one mother-daughter pair a day, it'll take nearly an entire year to
cycle through the queue!
He suddenly had the violent urge to time-travel and slap his past self across the face.
Why the fuck did you hoard this massive of a harem? Are you mathematically capable of
servicing all of them?!
Sigh. I reap what I sow.
Lorze had no choice but to blitz through the combat encounters at maximum efficiency.
Operating at a pace of roughly one mother-daughter pair per hour, it still took him nearly
half a month to fully service the entire harem once.
Following that, he dedicated three exclusive days to accompanying his mother and
Auntie Roxanne, ensuring the two women closest to his heart received absolute,
premium satisfaction.
However, after those three days, Auntie Roxanne couldn't hold back a highly critical
question.
"Little Lorze, we've been raw-dogged and pumped full by you countless times, many of
which were during our peak fertility windows. Yet not a single one of us has managed to
conceive. Don't you think it' s time you went to the hospital to get your hardware
checked?" Auntie Roxanne asked, not wanting to deal a blow to his ego, but unable to
suppress her anxiety.
Could it be that their man was completely sterile?
With a household this massive, it would be an absolute tragedy if not a single woman
could bear his heir.
"Regarding that... Auntie Xue actually had me undergo a thorough medical examination
recently. The diagnosis was that my biological structure has been so heavily mutated by
my True Qi cultivation that my cellular composition has vastly deviated from a standard
human baseline. Because of this, it is now astronomically difficult for an ordinary human
female to conceive my child,
" Lorze replied with a highly helpless sigh.
It truly wasn't an issue of sterility. It was simply that his biological tier had been
systematically elevated by the True Qi modifications.
You must understand, the higher a species' biological tier, the lower its reproductive
success rate and population size.
For instance, at the Legendary tier, minor Legendaries (Sub-Legendaries) still maintaineda small population. But apex, Tier-1 Legendaries were truly unique, singular entities.
For this exact reason, it was becoming increasingly impossible for Lorze to impregnate
his wives. Auntie Xue had even abandoned trying to conceive naturally through sex,
instead having Elena extract his genetic material to perform IVF procedures.
Lorze was incredibly frustrated by this reality, but his only option was to keep grinding
relentlessly.
Chapter 197
After spending half a month thoroughly servicing his wives, Lorze could finally begin
plotting his expedition into the Secret Realms.
Regarding these dimensional fragments that had descended directly from the authentic
Pokémon world, if Lorze claimed he wasn't deeply curious about what they looked like,
he'd be lying.
But curiosity aside, he was currently in the explosive growth phase of his career; he
obviously couldn't afford to neglect his combat training purely to play tourist, could he?
Therefore, this expedition absolutely had to integrate a rigorous training regimen.
Currently, both Gardevoir and Milotic had achieved their final evolutionary forms. They
had officially transcended the "rookie phase" characterized by explosive, rapid scaling.
Moving forward, their rate of growth was bound to plateau significantly.
Of course, this "plateau" was only relative to their pre-evolution pacing. Compared to
ordinary Trainers, possessing a limitless supply of premium Pokéblocks meant they still
maintained an overwhelming scaling advantage.
However, expecting Gardevoir and Milotic to achieve massive, sudden power spikes in
the short term was mathematically unrealistic.
Milotic was currently utilizing Mimic to grind the operational mechanics of Mind Reader
and Sheer Cold. The former was relatively straightforward, but the latter was an
apocalyptic nuke that even Xue Yi— who possessed a monstrous, awakened Ice-type
talent— could barely execute once per battle. If Milotic wanted to fully master it, the
training timeline would likely have to be measured in years.
Then there was Gardevoir, whose training itinerary was exceptionally heavy.
The current Gardevoir had successfully awakened her Fairy typing, granting her absolute
immunity and superiority over Dragon-type Pokémon, while simultaneously erasing her
fatal vulnerability to Dark-types.
However, regarding her Fairy-type move pool, she currently only possessed Moonblast,
and her proficiency with Misty Terrain remained half-baked and demanded severe
optimization.
But those challenges were trivial for her. The true nightmare lay in researching the Life
Orb. She needed to completely decipher how the orb absorbed and converted Life
Energy. Simultaneously, she had to utilize the Transform move to continuously
synchronize with Lorze to perceive the existence of Aura, all while ensuring her True Qi
energy cultivation didn't fall behind.
Only by fully comprehending and organically fusing these three distinct energy systems
did Gardevoir stand a chance of grasping the ultimate truth of Life Energy.
One had to admit, assigning a thesis of this magnitude was practically psychologicaltorture. If this burden were placed on anyone else, they likely wouldn't produce a single
viable result even if they dedicated their entire lifespan to the research.
But Lorze remained confident. They were running literal cheat codes; they were
mathematically capable of challenging the impossible.
It was evident that the training objectives for Gardevoir and Milotic required slow,
methodical accumulation; no immediate breakthroughs would manifest in the short term.
Therefore, Lorze allocated his surplus time toward optimizing the combat profiles of
Mawile and Ditto.
Ditto's current objective was relatively simple. Lorze explicitly instructed her to hold off
on attempting the Ho-Oh transformation, advising her to start by mimicking standard,
lower-tier Pokémon.
She hadn't even fully mastered the operational flow of her Imposter Ability yet, and her
comprehension of the Aura embedded within the Rainbow Wing was practically
nonexistent. Attempting to recklessly challenge the final boss transformation without the
fundamentals would only guarantee catastrophic failure.
Finally, there was Mawile. Little Idor was the true focal point of his upcoming
developmental efforts.
Ever since her clash with the Electivire during the Metropolitan Battle, both Lorze and
Mawile had acutely realized the crippling bottleneck caused by her inability to evolve.
Originally, Mawile had operated on the exact same combat tier as Kirlia. Now, relying on
evolution, Kirlia had shattered the ceiling and ascended to the Elite tier, while Mawile
remained stranded in the Intermediate tier.
Her scaling velocity had plateaued far faster than Gardevoir's, which was undeniably
catastrophic news.
This meant her combat metrics had been left entirely in the dust by Gardevoir, and
closing that chasm would be astronomically difficult.
Prior to reaching the Elite tier, Mawile and Gardevoir had been Lorze's undisputed, twin
aces. But now, while Mawile was certainly not weak, she had explicitly fallen out of the
vanguard echelon.
At the very least, when facing Elite-tier opponents, he no longer possessed the luxury of
deploying Mawile blindly; he was forced to heavily factor in type advantages and tactical
matchups.
To bridge this operational deficit, there were currently only two viable solutions.
The first was the already-validated mechanic of Mega Evolution. However, until the Xue
family successfully deployed their global assets to hoard a sufficient stockpile of Mega
Stones from overseas, he absolutely refused to leak this intelligence.
Think about it: before World War II, those Western imperialist thugs looted an
incalculable volume of gold, silver, and cultural artifacts from China. Now that he
possessed the leverage, shouldn't he prioritize extracting a massive amount of "interest"
from them first?
One must understand that the global volume of Mega Stones was biologically incapable
of being as abundant as standard Evolution Stones. For a very long time, they would
suffer from catastrophic scarcity. Every single stone plundered from the West was one
less asset their enemies possessed.Lorze had even covertly enlisted President Murong's assistance in this operation. His
ultimate objective was to completely bleed the West dry.
In short, since Mega Evolution was temporarily locked out, if Mawile wanted to bridge the
scaling gap, only one absolute final option remained.
Do you recall Lorze's previous hypothesis regarding the True Qi Mode?
If wrapping True Qi exclusively around a fist could generate such catastrophic kinetic
output, what if the True Qi was cloaked entirely over the entire body? Wouldn't that
theoretically grant the entire physical frame a kinetic multiplier equivalent to a full-power
Focus Punch?
Of course, the composition of Focus Punch consisted of both True Qi energy and
Fighting-type elemental energy, likely operating on a 2:1 ratio.
If the output relied purely on isolated True Qi energy, the theoretical Base Power should
only hover around 100.
But even that was more than enough. In the video games, Mawile's absolute maximum
Attack stat at max level was a pathetic 295, placing her in a laughably weak tier.
However, if you injected a flat +100 bonus from the True Qi Mode, an Attack stat of 395
instantly propelled her into the tier of dominant physical sweepers, even surpassing
Gardevoir's absolute maximum Special Attack. This was more than enough firepower to
completely overwrite the deficit of being unable to evolve.
The critical factor was that this True Qi Mode wouldn't merely boost her Attack stat; it
would provide a flat +100 multiplier across all her baseline parameters, functionally
making her more terrifying than a Pseudo-Legendary.
Although these theories remained purely hypothetical and their practical application was
entirely unknown... if True Qi could grant Lorze, an ordinary human, massive physical
strength and the supernatural stamina to fuck relentlessly day and night without
collapsing, there was zero logical reason it couldn't provide Mawile with a
comprehensive, full-body enhancement.
To actualize the True Qi Mode as quickly as possible, Lorze needed to initiate practical
trials of the "Microcosmic Orbit" circulation theory he had hypothesized earlier.
This concept was entirely fabricated from his own imagination; he had absolutely zero
guarantee it would succeed.
If it worked, it would exponentially accelerate the strengthening of True Qi. If it failed, he
would be forced to grind True Qi the agonizingly slow way, relying on endless, sleepless
meditation.
But experimenting cost absolutely nothing. At worst, it required him to study the
theoretical frameworks of the human meridian circuits found in Traditional Chinese
Medicine.
Which meant... he had to hit the books again. And studying medicine, no less. Just
thinking about it gave him a massive headache.
If only I had a doctor proficient in TCM or human anatomy to personally guide me...
Sigh. Whatever. For the sake of my Pokémon, I'll just have to endure the suffering.
"It' s decided. Our destination is the Mt. Chimney Secret Realm. It' s located in relatively
close proximity, and the timeline since its fusion with Blue Star is relatively short.
Consequently, localized magnetic anomalies still persist in certain sectors. This providesthe perfect environmental crucible for Mawile to grind the operational mechanics of the
Magnet Rise move.
"
After cross-referencing the data profiles of various Secret Realms online, Lorze finally
locked his target on the mid-scale Mt. Chimney Secret Realm.
Magnet Rise was an Electric-type move capable of neutralizing gravity to grant levitation.
Although classified as Electric-type, its actual correlation with raw Electric-type energy
wasn't just distant; it was practically non-existent.
To master this move, simply gorging on Electric-type Pokéblocks was mathematically
insufficient. Mawile had to fundamentally comprehend the mechanics of manipulating
magnetic fields, which was the true operational bottleneck.
Should I force Mawile to hit the books with me and study second-grade physics
concepts like Ampère's circuital law?
She would probably lose her fucking mind...
Chapter 198
Having finalized his operational blueprint, Lorze began packing his gear, preparing to
officially deploy into the wilderness.
His actual luggage was incredibly sparse, consisting solely of a few changes of clothes
and some self-heating MREs. Consumables like Max Repels and survival gear could be
easily purchased at the supply depots located at the Secret Realm's perimeter.
Mt. Chimney, renowned domestically as one of the premier habitats for Fire-type
Pokémon, encompassed an area spanning several thousand square kilometers. A
significant sector of its outer perimeter was fully open to the public, functionally
transformed into a semi-tourist zone where civilians could sightsee and capture
Pokémon. Naturally, small supply towns and outposts had been established to support
this traffic.
Conversely, the highly dangerous inner sectors remained under strict lockdown. The
magnetic fields within these zones were wildly chaotic, causing the local Pokémon to
exhibit hyper-volatile and aggressive behavioral patterns. If you stumbled across an
enraged Alpha Pokémon in there, your survival probability plummeted to near zero.
Therefore, unauthorized entry into the inner zones without the proper security clearances
was strictly prohibited.
"Big Bro, Big Bro! Are you leaving home again?" Watching her older brother shoulder his
tactical backpack, Little Ruo blocked his path, her face filled with intense reluctance.
He had barely been home for a few days, and the vast majority of that time had been
spent locked in the bedroom fucking other women. He hadn't dedicated almost any time
to playing with her.
It was much better when Ralts was still here. Back then, she could spend the entire day
hanging out with her brother and Ralts. Now, she had practically no one to play with.
"Big Bro has to deploy into a Secret Realm to conduct specialized combat training. It
might be a while before I can return.
" Lorze affectionately patted the head of his younger
sister, who had noticeably grown taller without him realizing.
"Then can you take me with you? I want to go with Big Bro!" Little Ruo clung to him, her
expression pitiful and pleading."Well... Secret Realms are incredibly dangerous combat zones,
" Lorze replied, feeling
somewhat helpless against his sister's coquettish assault.
Speaking of which, Little Ruo was supposed to enter high school next semester, right?
Why did it feel like, aside from a slight increase in height, her personality hadn't matured
a single inch since she entered middle school?
Has your psychological age completely stagnated?
"Gardevoir will protect me, right?" Little Ruo turned her pleading gaze toward Gardevoir,
her former playmate.
"Gar~
. (I honestly believe you should listen to your brother regarding this matter.)"
Gardevoir would undoubtedly protect her, but what she feared were catastrophic,
unpredictable variables.
"Gardevoir isn't nearly as cute as Ralts used to be,
" Little Ruo pouted angrily.
Gardevoir: "
"
...
Pokémon grow up too, you know?
Or rather, the real question is why are YOU the only one who hasn't grown up at all?
"Actually, bringing you along isn't entirely impossible. But you must absolutely stick
close to me at all times, and wandering off is strictly prohibited.
" Lorze narrowed his eyes,
analyzing his sister for a few moments before hesitantly deciding to authorize her
deployment.
"Really?!" Little Ruo's eyes instantly lit up. Did I actually manage to convince Big Bro?
"Gar? (Are you serious?)" Gardevoir looked at him in genuine surprise. Bringing a child
this young into an active combat zone seemed fundamentally reckless, didn't it?
Lorze usually operated with meticulous caution. Why was he acting so recklessly when it
came to his own family's safety?
Could it be because of THAT?
Have you ever noticed how effortlessly Little Ruo managed to befriend Pokémon?
Whether it was the painfully shy Ralts, the chronically lonely Mawile, or even the newly
acquired Milotic, every single one of them had rapidly accepted this adorable little girl.
But none of that was what truly surprised Lorze. What genuinely shocked him was that
even Pheromosa had accepted her as a "little sister.
"
You must understand, Pheromosa historically ignored everyone in the household.
Furthermore, she passively emitted a localized Ultra Aura that naturally caused ordinary
humans severe physiological discomfort just by standing near her.
Yet Little Ruo not only displayed zero signs of biological rejection, but she had also
successfully bypassed Pheromosa's psychological defenses. It was an outcome Lorze
never anticipated.
Initially, he suspected Little Ruo might possess the legendary Viridian Mind— a
miraculous, innate ability that granted the user an absolute affinity with nature and
Pokémon, even allowing them to channel natural energy to heal Pokémon. This ability
was generally exclusively bestowed upon individuals with exceptionally pure hearts.
However, as Lorze began delving into the mechanics of Aura, he naturally memorized the
specific Aura signatures of everyone in the household. It was then he discovered that
Little Ruo's Aura frequency was vastly stronger than anyone else's. In fact, when he
actively probed her Aura, she would often look directly at him, as if she couldsubconsciously perceive the intrusion.
It was genuinely somewhat terrifying.
Could this girl actually be harboring unawakened Aura capabilities?
Is it because of this latent Aura and the Viridian Mind that her personality has remained
so impossibly pure?
If that's the case, perhaps I should find an opportunity to introduce her to Mew...
Regardless, if he wanted to verify whether Little Ruo actually possessed supernatural
abilities, all he had to do was drag her into the wilderness for a field test, right?
As for the security risks, with Gardevoir on standby to execute an emergency Teleport
evac, they were highly unlikely to encounter any lethal threats under normal parameters.
Even if they encountered a catastrophic scenario where escape was impossible, didn't
they have Pheromosa acting as the vanguard?
Pheromosa was no ordinary Champion-tier entity. She was an existence that even a
Champion-tier Zoroark—backed by the active support of Goddess Xue Tong's entire
six-Pokémon roster—didn't dare provoke recklessly.
To genuinely threaten Pheromosa, you ' d likely have to deploy a literal Legendary
Pokémon, right?
Synthesizing all these operational parameters, Lorze concluded that bringing Little Ruo
along wasn't an absolute impossibility.
If Little Ruo could genuinely awaken the Viridian Mind, it would be a massive net positive
for her future.
If she could also excavate latent Aura capabilities, even Lorze would reap a catastrophic
profit.
After all, Lorze ' s Telepathic Resonance allowed him to seamlessly fuse his
consciousness with another's. As long as he maintained mental synchronization with
Little Ruo while she deployed her Aura, he could leverage her heightened affinity to
perceive the existence of Aura with absolute clarity.
"Pheromosa, I' m leaving Little Ruo's security entirely in your hands,
" Lorze
commissioned Pheromosa.
Currently, Pheromosa had assumed a human form loosely modeled after Esdeath. The
key distinction was that she had implemented personalized modifications, retaining her
signature Ultra Beast crown-headdress, along with the two long, elegant antennae
trailing from it.
"You don't need to order me to protect her. I would do it regardless,
" Pheromosa replied
coldly.
One had to admit, having a Pokémon capable of human speech was incredibly
convenient. Perhaps I should have Gardevoir learn it when the opportunity arises. Given
her massive psychic bandwidth, she should be able to master it rapidly.
"Yay! Thank you, Sister Pheromosa~!" Little Ruo cheered ecstatically, throwing herself
happily into Pheromosa's embrace.
Witnessing this interaction, Gardevoir refrained from raising any further objections. She
trusted that Lorze had meticulously calculated the operational risks.
Thus, their entourage, now including Little Ruo, proceeded with the original plan,
boarding a sedan to fly directly toward Mt. Chimney.You read that right. The sedan was flying!
The primary issue was that no one in their entourage possessed a driver's license. Lorze
knew the operational mechanics of driving, but he lacked the legal documentation.
Therefore, he opted for a highly unorthodox approach: having Gardevoir utilize her
Telekinesis to physically levitate the car, flying them in a direct, linear trajectory straight
toward Mt. Chimney. To be perfectly honest, this method was significantly faster than
driving.
Regardless, Gardevoir's psychic output had long since shattered the parameters of the
Elite tier. Combined with the fact that Lorze could constantly funnel his own mental
energy to replenish her reserves, there was absolutely zero risk of the car plummeting
from the sky due to psychic exhaustion.
Utilizing this absurdly comical mode of transportation, they traveled until dusk fell.
At that exact moment, they arrived at the perimeter of a pristine wilderness lake. Not far
from the shoreline stood the charred, hollowed-out remnants of a massive tree, scarred
by a catastrophic fire.
Lorze glanced at Gardevoir. Seeing a trace of deep nostalgia and sorrow flicker in her
eyes, he immediately deduced that this location was exactly where she had lived in the
past.
"It's getting late, and our mental energy reserves are significantly depleted. Let's set up
camp here for the night,
" Lorze gently wrapped his arm around Gardevoir, pulling her
close to comfort her.
Gardevoir gave a slight nod, slowly lowering the levitating car toward the ground.
Although she knew with absolute certainty that her mother was no longer there, she still
possessed a deep, biological urge to return home and look upon the ruins one last time.
Chapter 199
Under Gardevoir's control, their impromptu "rollercoaster" slowly descended, touching
down directly in front of the scorched, withered tree.
It was an ancient tree, easily centuries old, boasting a massive trunk with a hollow center
large enough to shelter several people. Inside, scattered animal pelts and makeshift
bedding remained untouched.
The pelts hadn't been consumed by the fire; it seemed the inferno had been halted
before the flames could spread to the base.
Upon seeing those familiar pelts still lying there, Gardevoir immediately fell into a long,
silent reverie, lost in memories.
In her memories, back when she still possessed the form of a Ralts, she would snuggle
tightly with her mother inside this crude, yet reliably warm and windproof little nest, living
out their days in absolute simplicity.
Whenever the rain fell, countless weak, wild Pokémon would seek refuge here, huddling
together with them. They would listen to the rhythmic patter of the rain outside, curled up
under the pelts, and drift peacefully into sleep. That era was so incredibly warm.
In her impression, her mother would always venture out to forage for Berries before she
woke up, ensuring she had a delicious, fresh breakfast waiting the moment she opened
her eyes.Back then, completely innocent and ignorant of the world, she genuinely believed food
simply sprouted out of the ground.
It wasn't until the catastrophe struck, forcing her separation from her mother and her
desperate, solitary escape, that she finally realized food didn't just magically appear.
Only then did she truly comprehend how vital her mother's existence had been to her.
She quickly plummeted into profound confusion and terror. She became terrified of the
night, terrified of loneliness. Every single night, she would hide in the darkest corners she
could find, crying out for her mother to quickly come and find her.
To her younger self, her inner world was entirely gray; the outside world was a
pitch-black, lightless forest where terrifying, lethal predators could leap out at any
second to claim her life.
Gradually, she lost all her color, and with it, her capacity to perceive emotion...
Even recalling those memories now sent a lingering chill of fear through Gardevoir's
spine. Even she couldn't fully comprehend how she had managed to survive that horrific,
suffocating era of darkness.
She didn't dare imagine what kind of hellscape she would be living in right now if she
hadn't met Lorze...
She had already lost her mother; she absolutely refused to lose him.
"We will find her.
"
Lorze vividly sensed Gardevoir's radiating sorrow. He immediately pulled her tightly into
his embrace, whispering softly to comfort her.
Fortunately, the current Gardevoir was no longer that frightened, ignorant little girl.
Leaning gently against Lorze's shoulder, she quickly stabilized her emotions.
"Can we sleep here tonight?" Gardevoir looked at the animal pelts, seemingly yearning to
relive the profound sense of security she used to feel sleeping in her mother's arms. She
relayed her desire to Lorze via telepathy.
"Then let' s hurry up and clean the place a bit. It' s getting pretty late,
" Lorze stroked her
cheek. How could he possibly refuse such a minor request?
As long as Gardevoir desired it, even if she asked him to sleep next to an outhouse...
...well, it wasn't entirely impossible!
"I want to help too! I want to see where Ralts used to live!" Little Ruo immediately
volunteered.
"Then why don't you grab the cooking pot from the trunk? We're having a camping
hotpot tonight. Go pick out whatever ingredients you want to eat,
" Lorze instructed.
"Hotpot!!! Then I want octopus sausages! Sister Pheromosa, what do you want?" Little
Ruo sprinted back to the car's trunk and began rummaging through the supplies.
Lorze had already packed the trunk with all their favorite ingredients. He had even
installed a miniaturized Pokéblock processor inside the vehicle, ensuring they could
synthesize fresh Pokéblocks anytime, anywhere, as long as they had Berries.
"Whatever's fine,
" Pheromosa replied from inside the car, currently completely
engrossed in a single-player video game, casually sucking on a lollipop.
Ever since realizing how astronomically high her daily consumption was, Pheromosa had
officially swapped her snack preference from premium Pokéblocks to cheap, processed
human junk food.Even though Lorze explicitly stated that wasn't necessary and she could eat as many
Pokéblocks as she wanted, she stubbornly insisted on the change.
Besides, the statistical boost provided by Pokéblocks at her Champion-tier level was
completely negligible anyway. She figured she might as well use the opportunity to
sample human cuisine. She found many of their cheap snacks highly addictive; eating
Pokéblocks every single day got boring eventually, right?
Lorze didn't force the issue. Watching the group begin their preparations, he summoned
Mawile, Milotic, and Ditto from their Poké Balls to assist with dinner.
Lorze called out to Milotic and Mawile, grabbing a small bucket to fetch water from the
nearby lake.
You couldn't exactly cook hotpot without water. While they had a water reserve in the car,
the supply was finite. Since a natural water source was readily available, it would be a
waste not to utilize it.
What?
You ask why they didn't just have Milotic synthesize water using Water Gun?
Functionally, you couldn't. With the exception of Rain Dance, the water generated by all
Water-type moves was fundamentally a temporary elemental energy construct. It would
dissipate entirely after a short period. At the very least, based on Milotic's current
capabilities, she absolutely lacked the capacity to permanently convert that energy into
true, physical water.
To achieve that specific tier of reality manipulation, one would likely have to reach the
Legendary tier, right?
For instance, an entity like Kyogre could literally manually forge oceans.
Hearing that hotpot was on the menu tonight, Mawile happily volunteered to carry the
bucket, sprinting joyfully toward the lake. Lorze and Milotic trailed closely behind.
This was the wilderness, after all. Lethal threats could manifest at any second. It was
highly unadvisable to let Mawile approach the water's edge alone; who knew if a feral
Feraligatr might suddenly ambush her?
However, contrary to Lorze ' s expectations, they didn't encounter an ambushing
Feraligatr. Instead, they walked straight into a minefield.
The moment Mawile reached the shoreline, jagged, razor-sharp rocks violently erupted
from the dirt, slamming directly into the completely unprepared Mawile before detonating
with a concussive BOOM.
This initial explosion acted like a chain reaction, triggering dozens of additional jagged
rocks to blast out of the earth, several of which shot directly toward Lorze's position.
Milotic instinctively moved to shield him with her tail, but Lorze stepped forward first.
Channeling a Focus Punch empowered by True Qi, he met the incoming projectiles
head-on.
With a deafening CRACK, Lorze felt a slight sting across his knuckles, while the jagged
rock was instantly pulverized into dust by his fist.
Even Milotic clicked her tongue at the sight. Is this guy even human?
"Average output. Not even Excellence-tier (C-Rank) firepower,
" Lorze evaluated casually.
Having systematically modified his biology through True Qi cultivation, he was
completely immune to any attack below the Excellence tier.If it couldn't even scratch him, it obviously couldn't inflict genuine damage on Mawile
either.
"Big Bro, what happened?!" Little Ruo hurriedly jogged over.
"Don't come any closer! The perimeter has been manually rigged with Stealth Rock,
"
Lorze quickly halted her advance.
"Oh... then you guys should hurry back too, Big Bro,
" Little Ruo stopped dead in her
tracks.
"I'm fine. But it looks like we've stumbled onto a rather large fish,
" Lorze scanned the
surrounding terrain, noticing numerous jagged protrusions breaking the dirt. It appeared
the entire lake had been completely encircled by a Stealth Rock minefield.
These Stealth Rocks were glaringly obviously not naturally occurring formations. Judging
by the heavily cratered, barren dirt completely devoid of grass along the perimeter, this
area had likely been subjected to explosions countless times.
From this data, it wasn't hard to deduce that this minefield had likely been deployed by
Pokémon Hunters. Based on the layout, they had established a full perimeter ring around
the shoreline, simply waiting for wild Pokémon to throw themselves into the trap.
This lake was the sole water source in the immediate vicinity. As long as Pokémon
required hydration, an endless supply of victims was guaranteed to wander into the
minefield.
And any Pokémon operating below the Excellence tier would almost certainly be
incapacitated upon triggering the trap. By the following morning, the Hunters could
simply stroll through and casually collect the dying Pokémon like picking up trash.
One had to admit, the methodology was brutally simple and highly efficient, but equally
insidious and vile.
No wonder Pokémon Hunters were universally despised; a hunting method this
indiscriminate and cruel was indeed crossing the line.
However, Lorze was currently more curious about two things: would this specific crew of
Hunters return tomorrow morning to check their traps, and were they the exact same
crew responsible for destroying Ralts' home?
If they were, then he truly had hooked a massive fish. He might actually be able to extract
critical intel regarding Gardevoir's mother from their mouths.
Chapter 200
After drawing water from the lake, Lorze instructed Mawile and Milotic to clear a safe
path through the Stealth Rock minefield.
As the sky gradually darkened, they finally ignited a campfire in front of the withered tree,
set up the cooking stove, and officially transitioned into a relaxing dinner hour.
For some inexplicable reason, a campfire in the wilderness always seemed to possess a
magnetic charm, uncontrollably drawing everyone's gaze. Even Pheromosa and Mawile,
who biologically disliked fire, couldn't resist huddling closer. The group formed a tight
circle, happily enjoying their dinner.
Little Ruo had tossed a massive volume of octopus sausages into the hotpot, relentlessly
shoving them onto Mawile and Ditto's plates. Back home, Auntie Roxanne would
absolutely never allow her to behave like that.Fortunately, the ingredients Lorze had packed were highly premium, and the food was
quickly devoured by the "kids" in the group.
Unknowingly, dinner time drew to a close. Drawn by the tantalizing aroma and the
flickering firelight, numerous wild Pokémon slowly crept closer, observing them from a
distance.
They appeared desperately hungry for the food simmering in the pot, yet they were
visibly terrified of the oppressive aura radiating from Pheromosa, preventing them from
approaching too closely.
Therefore, after securing Lorze' s permission, Little Ruo quickly grabbed Mawile and
Ditto. Bringing along the surplus food, she happily skipped over to share the leftovers
with the wild Pokémon.
Lorze and Gardevoir watched this interaction with intense focus, intending to field-test
whether Little Ruo could genuinely, effortlessly secure the goodwill of wild Pokémon.
You must understand, wild Pokémon are inherently hyper-vigilant. Especially in a zone
actively rigged with Hunter traps, the local wildlife would logically harbor extreme hostility
and paranoia toward any human.
If Little Ruo could effortlessly secure their trust under these conditions, it would
practically confirm she possessed some form of supernatural biological affinity.
However, as a safety precaution, he specifically instructed Mawile to stay on high alert to
prevent any feral Pokémon from launching a surprise attack on Little Ruo. Gardevoir was
also actively maintaining target lock, ready to execute an emergency Ally Switch to swap
places with her at a microsecond's notice.
Under everyone's tense, focused gaze, only Little Ruo remained completely innocent and
oblivious. She approached the pack of wild Pokémon, placed all the food on the ground,
and offered them a friendly, welcoming wave.
But the Pokémon didn't dare lower their guard. Survival in the wilderness meant facing
lethal threats at any moment; any Pokémon naive enough to trust strangers had long
since become someone else's lunch.
However, despite their paranoia, Little Ruo's pure, absolute innocence naturally
projected a bizarre aura of absolute safety, causing them to subconsciously lower their
psychological defenses without even realizing it.
Coupled with the severe scarcity of wilderness resources, the local Pokémon were
practically always starving. Due to the lethal trap encircling the lake, many of them hadn't
even had a drop of water to drink recently.
Under these extreme conditions, a Helioptile, dizzy with hunger, finally succumbed to the
temptation of the food. If I keep starving, I'll die anyway. I might as well gamble on this.
Thus, the Helioptile cautiously crept forward, its eyes still locked onto Little Ruo with
deep suspicion. It wasn't until Little Ruo proactively handed it an octopus sausage that it
finally snatched the food and began devouring it frantically.
Witnessing this scene, the other Pokémon couldn't suppress their agonizing hunger any
longer. The moment the second Pokémon approached, it triggered a chain reaction. A
massive swarm of Pokémon began pouring out of the surrounding brush. Within
moments, thirty to forty Pokémon had gathered around Little Ruo, including highly
premium starter species like a Turtwig.That specific species commanded a baseline market value of at least one million dollars!
If Little Ruo entered the Pokémon Hunter profession, she could literally make a fortune in
her sleep...
It was only because Lorze currently possessed infinite capital that he didn't actually
consider forcing Little Ruo to exploit this talent for profit.
"It seems we can definitively confirm that Little Ruo possesses some form of
supernatural Pokémon affinity,
" Lorze silently observed his sister completely enveloped
by the swarm, verifying his hypothesis.
He just didn't know if this affinity was genuinely classified as the Viridian Mind. If it was,
Little Ruo would eventually unlock the capacity to heal Pokémon using natural energy.
This ability was devastatingly overpowered in competitive combat; it effectively meant
her Pokémon possessed multiple health bars, pushing her combat ceiling to the absolute
maximum.
Sensing his thoughts, Gardevoir shot him an exasperated look. She had to admit, Lorze'
s thought process perfectly aligned with the ruthless utilitarianism of human society. But
wasn't the truly precious trait Little Ruo possessed simply her pure, untainted love for all
Pokémon?
Little Ruo's affection for Pokémon was absolutely not standard human affection.
When ordinary people claimed they "loved Pokémon,
" they were realistically only
expressing love for Pokémon that matched their personal aesthetic preferences. If you
handed them a Grimer or a Gloom, how many of them would still claim to "love" it?
But Little Ruo was different. She genuinely, equally loved all Pokémon. While she
certainly had her favorites, even when faced with a universally detested species like a
Grimer, she still projected pure, unadulterated goodwill.
In fact, among the Pokémon currently swarming Little Ruo, there was literally a Gloom
present, and Little Ruo was happily petting it without a single shred of disgust.
This level of absolute, pure devotion to Pokémon was genuinely comparable to Ash from
the anime, right?
If that's true... is it mathematically possible for Little Ruo to activate the Rainbow Wing?
I should let her try it when the opportunity arises.
...
In the end, Little Ruo shockingly spent the entire night playfully wrestling and sleeping
huddled amidst the wild Pokémon. Lorze could only shake his head, instructing Ditto to
transform into a warm blanket to drape over her, preventing her from catching a cold.
Although it was technically summer vacation, the wilderness nights still carried a biting
chill. Little Ruo hadn't cultivated her True Qi Mode sufficiently to naturally resist the cold
like a Pokémon could.
Lorze also ordered Mawile and Milotic to sleep directly beside Little Ruo. With those two
standing guard, she was mathematically insulated from any danger.
Lorze then wrapped his arms around Gardevoir, carrying her into the hollow tree trunk.
The two lay intimately embraced atop the freshly cleaned pelts, gazing up at the starlit
sky through the canopy opening.
"I didn't expect the view to be this beautiful,
" Lorze remarked, gazing at the Milky Way
while holding his beloved wife. It was a uniquely romantic atmosphere."Before the ancient tree died, the canopy blocked the sky entirely. You couldn't see the
Milky Way back then,
" Gardevoir noted.
"Do you want to do it? Right here in your mother's room~
"
.
"That's all you ever think about.
"
Gardevoir rolled her eyes at him again. If you want to have sex, just have sex! What
exactly did you mean by specifically emphasizing 'my mother's room'?!
Are you implying you want to target my mother as well?!
You absolute MILF-obsessed degenerate!
Gardevoir's gaze carried a hint of playful resentment; she knew exactly how depraved
this MILF-connoisseur's mind truly was.
Though, truthfully, she genuinely wouldn't mind serving him that specific
"Mother-Daughter combo meal"
—because at the very least, it would mean her mother
had finally returned to her.
Unable to contain the swelling tide of emotion, Gardevoir channeled her nostalgia entirely
into burning lust. With a swift movement, she rolled over, pinning her husband beneath
her, and aggressively locked her lips onto his.
Gradually, their kiss intensified into a raging inferno, escalating uncontrollably until the
dry firewood caught an explosive spark. Their bodily fluids were literally splashed across
every inch of her mother's bed~
.
However, factoring in the travel schedule required for the next day, they only engaged in
a "symbolic" session lasting roughly two to three hours. Afterward, they bathed in the
chilly night waters of the lake and settled down for a peaceful sleep.
Before falling asleep, Lorze informed Gardevoir of his hypothesis regarding the Pokémon
Hunters. He suspected the crew responsible for destroying her home might still be
operating in the sector, suggesting they might actually uncover clues regarding her
mother tomorrow.
Gardevoir nodded, nestling deeply into his embrace, silently awaiting the arrival of dawn.
But completely contrary to their expectations, the following morning... before they could
even initiate a hunt for the poachers, a massive commotion violently erupted right outside
their shelter.
