The non-human Xiao Sia hoisted the charred bicycle from the ground and sprinted towards Viridian City.
Yang Tao: "..."
Sure enough, all beings in this world are Pokémon and cannot be calculated by common sense.
"We'll rest here today, Seraphimon... Uh, what do you think if I name you Celeste? People named Celeste won't have too bad luck."
"Hmm, as long as you like it."
"Celeste, can you and Angewomon transform into human forms? The main reason is that in your current appearance, I'm afraid that when we arrive in Viridian City, we won't have to do anything but be surrounded..."
At that time, Professor Oak, Dr. Akihabara, Westwood V, Professor Ivy... and a host of other doctors would probably have to fly over on Dragonite.
Professor Ivy might be okay...
But the others, forget it.
When Seraphimon heard Yang Tao's request, the eight beautiful wings behind him instantly turned into specks of light and disappeared, and the white priest's robe on his body transformed into a proper suit.
Looking at the golden-haired, blue-eyed, over two-meter tall Seraphimon, Yang Tao felt that his lethality towards women had reached MAX level.
Next to him, the nearly 1.8-meter tall Angewomon also disarmed, transforming into a sexy blonde woman, standing beside Celeste, giving off a feeling of a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
'Holy crap, he's even two points handsomer than me!'
Can he endure this?
Of course he can endure this!
They're not outsiders anyway.
"Not bad. From now on, you two should travel in this world in these forms. When it's time to battle, you can transform back."
Seraphimon nodded lightly, and Angewomon, beside him, naturally had no objections.
However, Yang Tao was a bit worried. What if Angewomon gained too much 'experience' in this world and evolved into Magnadramon?
Wouldn't that be transforming from handsome man and beautiful woman to handsome man and dog? And a big pink dog.
He took out the Building Staff from his backpack and gently tapped the ground, and a matchbox-sized house appeared at the edge of the forest.
Then he took out some Time Tree leaves and handed them to Celeste, along with the Caterpie perched on his shoulder, instructing, "You two go in and rest first. And you, Maomao, eat more and try to grow bigger! At least a meter long, otherwise, when you evolve into a Butterfree later, you won't be competitive when looking for a girlfriend."
Caterpie nodded and obediently scurried onto Angemon's hand.
Yang Tao jumped down the slope and bent down to pick up the Spearow on the ground. Pokémon all have a life-preserving mechanism; even if they suffer fatal damage, they only fall unconscious. Only by taking advantage of this moment to finish them off can they truly be killed.
"I don't know how to cook it..."
With a ground full of Spearow, Yang Tao, being kind-hearted, only selected three that looked relatively plump. If he didn't eat them, the risk of developing three highs later would be relatively high, so Yang Tao considered it a premature release for them.
Spearow: Then I thank you...
He gently finished off the unconscious Spearow and put it into his backpack. The sooner they die, the sooner they can reincarnate.
Yang Tao then plunged into the forest.
...
The next morning.
The heavy rain had stopped by yesterday evening. Yang Tao sat at the entrance, guarding the stove from the Farmer's Delight mod, with a large pot set on top of it.
Hot flames licked the black bottom of the large pot, and continuous white smoke rose, filling the air with a spicy, fresh, and fragrant aroma.
'Stewing in an iron pot isn't good enough; I need to prepare a clay pot. Slow-cooking for three hours, that flavor...'
After his test yesterday, Beedrill was really not tasty and had almost no meat. However, Weedle and Kakuna were edible, but they had to be handled well, otherwise, it was easy to get poisoned.
Getting up, he glanced at the Spearow meat in the pot. Yang Tao nodded in satisfaction and shouted towards the house, "The iron pot stewed Spearow is ready! You can come out and eat."
"Slow~"
Slowpoke scurried out of the matchbox house, its broken tail already more than half grown back. It seemed it wouldn't even take a week; at most, by tonight, he could eat Slowpoke's tail again.
The more this guy eats, the faster it regenerates.
It eats grass, but it provides meat!
...
Full and satisfied.
They drove towards Viridian City in a sightseeing car. The road was not muddy at all after half a day of rain yesterday. As they drove onto the main road leading to Viridian City, the sightseeing car's speed gradually increased, reaching an astonishing 45 mph.
By the roadside, where there was neither a village in front nor a shop behind, stood a two-story police station. An Officer Jenny, dressed in a police uniform, stood at the entrance of the police station, waving at him, signaling him to stop.
Yang Tao pulled the sightseeing car over to the side of the road and smiled at Officer Jenny, who had long blue hair, "What's wrong, Officer Jenny?"
Officer Jenny looked at Yang Tao, Seraphimon, Angewomon, and Slowpoke, who was sitting in the passenger seat holding Caterpie, and politely said, "Sir, I apologize, but recently there's been a group of thieves specializing in stealing Pokémon, so Viridian City is currently under emergency lockdown. Could you please show me your identification?"
On the wanted board next to the police station entrance, there was also a photo of the thieves. Although it was only a dark side profile, Yang Tao still recognized the Team Rocket trio of clowns.
"I'm sorry, Officer Jenny, we've always lived deep in the mountains and have no identification. Even the only Poké Ball I have was given to me by Professor Oak from Masara Town."
"We came here this time specifically to apply for League identification."
Officer Jenny looked at Yang Tao and his companions' modern attire, as well as the impossibly handsome Seraphimon and Angewomon.
She really couldn't figure out which deep mountain could maintain them so well.
"In that case, please follow me."
Following Officer Jenny into the police station, although the station was small, its interior decoration was quite exquisite.
"Please wait a moment."
Officer Jenny walked into the office area and kept typing on the computer. She continuously searched for information about Yang Tao and his companions based on their appearances.
However, the result was naturally self-evident.
At the same time, she also checked if there were any reports of missing shiny Caterpie or Slowpoke.
Similarly, she found nothing.
Slowpoke's value was decent due to its tail, but generally, people wouldn't catch Slowpoke. Even if the tail was delicious, its appetite was too large, and most people truly couldn't afford to raise it.
Although shiny Caterpie are rare, the sheer number of Caterpie means that no matter how rare they are, they become common in the face of such a vast population.
Those Pokémon thieves wouldn't target these common Pokémon at all.
"I'm really sorry for taking up your time."
Officer Jenny, finding nothing, showed an apologetic smile and said, "If possible, I can issue you a temporary League identification. For official processing, you'll need to go to the Viridian City Police Station."
"Then I'll trouble you, Officer Jenny."
Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy's appearances can be said to be T1 level in the Pokémon World.
The key point is that Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy don't seem like their names, but rather the names of their species.
Basically, their figures are present in every city in the League, and their appearances are almost identical.
