, the last one, Old Sprayer!

Once Squirtle enters the Poké Ball, the mission is complete.

[Ding! The "Reform and Turn Over a New Leaf" quest has been completed.]

[Task rewards are being distributed...]

[Speed ​​Potion has been added to your system inventory!]

[Two Beginner Magical Candies have been added to your system inventory!]

[Officer's Family General Affection +10, Current Total: 30]

A series of notifications flashed by.

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly.

Speed ​​potion, great stuff.

Items that can directly boost a Pokémon's stats are considered incredibly powerful in this world.

As for the favorability rating with the Officer Jenny family...

Jiang Chuan looked up at Ms. Officer Jenny, who was comforting the four newly recruited police turtles.

At this moment, Officer Jenny's pencil skirt and black stockings were covered in tears and mud, but she did not look disheveled at all. Instead, she had a unique charm that resembled battle damage.

Noticing Jiang Chuan's gaze, Jun Sha turned her head.

Eyes facing each other.

Driven by the desire to improve her image, Officer Jenny's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still walked over confidently.

"Jiang Chuan," she said, her voice filled with gratitude, "I really owe you a lot this time. Not only did you stop the wildfire, but you also helped me solve the Squirtle problem."

She paused, her eyes flickering slightly.

Jiang Chuan nodded and smiled, "It's just police-civilian cooperation, a simple thing for trainers to do."

"Hmm..." Officer Jenny chuckled softly, then resumed her businesslike expression: "Alright, I need to take these little ones back to the police station to register first. You should all head down the mountain soon too."

She turned around and waved to the four Squirtle turtles standing in a row.

"Come on, little heroes. Go take a shower first, then we'll make you some custom-made police turtle uniforms~"

The Squirtles excitedly called out "Squirtle, Squirtle!" and followed her around happily.

…………

With Officer Jenny and the police turtles gone, only Jiang Chuan and Xiao Xia remained on the open ground.

Xiaoxia quickly came over, her face full of gossip.

"Hey, Jiang Chuan~" She nudged Jiang Chuan's waist with her elbow: "What were you whispering about with Officer Jenny just now? Your face is all red~"

Jiang Chuan remained expressionless: "It's nothing, just a thank you."

"Really?" Xiaoxia stared at him suspiciously, then her mind started to wander back to the matter of delivering tofu to Jiangchuan.

Jiang Chuan ignored Xiaoxia for the time being and continued browsing the panel.

The progress of the starter Pokémon quests has also been updated.

[Starter Pokémon Collection Quest (2/3)]

[Currently captured: Bulbasaur, Squirtle]

The notification tone had just finished.

[Pokémon: Squirtle, Level: lv10→lv13]

Squirtle leveled up three levels instantly!

A Squirtle that was originally only level 10 was able to lead its underlings to cause so much trouble and spray such a powerful water gun when putting out fires, so its potential is definitely not bad.

Jiang Chuan had an idea and began to check Squirtle's stats.

[Pokémon: Squirtle]

[Attribute: Water]

[Level: lv13 (Beginner)]

[Potential: King-level]

【Special Feature: Rain Dish – During rainy weather, it continuously restores stamina.】

[Skills: Water gun, impact, high-speed spin, retract into shell.]

【Items to bring: None】

[Special Enhancement: None]

really.

King-level potential!

Moreover, its unique feature is the rare "rain disc"!

It's important to know that the vast majority of Squirtle's ability is "Torrent," which increases the power of Water-type moves when their stamina is low, making it an offensive ability.

But the "rain plate" is completely different.

This is a purely sustain-type ability; it allows Pokémon to continuously recover stamina in rainy conditions, greatly enhancing their ability to stay in the field.

This ability is perfect for Squirtle, and its evolved forms Wartortle and Blastoise.

Because Water-type Pokémon with a shell-like structure are positioned as half tanks and half warriors, they are not fast, but have excellent defense and endurance.

Their fighting style is often steady and methodical, relying on prolonged battles to find weaknesses in their opponents.

The "rain disc" feature is a perfect fit for this tactic.

The only limitation now is that it requires a rainy environment.

But once Squirtle levels up and learns the "Rain Dance" skill, it can create its own weather and fully utilize its ability's advantages.

Jiang Chuan muttered to himself as he took out an item from his system inventory.

It was a teardrop-shaped blue gemstone, with water flowing slowly inside, emitting a soft glow.

Mysterious water droplets!

This is a reward I received while doing a quest at the Cerulean Gym. It can increase the power of Water-type moves.

This is a good opportunity to replenish Squirtle's strength, as it's missing some combat power in the Rapids.

Jiang Chuan threw out the baby ball.

Squirtle reappeared in the open area.

As soon as it came out, it subconsciously looked around. When it found the starfish still at Xiaoxia's feet, its face turned slightly red. But this time it forced itself to be calm and puffed out its chest like a turtle, pretending nothing was wrong.

Jiang Chuan found it amusing, so he squatted down and handed the mysterious water droplet to it.

"Here, take this."

Squirtle tilted its head in confusion.

"nice one!"

Upon hearing this, Squirtle's eyes lit up.

It stretched out its paw and carefully took the blue gem.

The moment they touched, the mysterious droplet transformed into a stream of light and merged into Squirtle's body.

Squirtle is holding: Mystic Drop (increases the power of Water-type moves by 20%).

Squirtle felt the power surging within it and excitedly waved its claws.

Then, it turned around and looked at the starfish at Xiaoxia's feet.

I hesitated for a moment.

It still went over.

This time, however, it didn't put its paw on the shoulder, but instead raised its paw formally and waved it in front of the starfish.

Jenny, Jenny Jenny!

(Um... please take care of me from now on! Let's get stronger together!)

His tone was serious, but if you listened carefully, you could still detect a hint of nervousness.

The starfish's gem core flickered and it gently swayed its body.

Starfish, starfish~

(Yes, please guide me.)

Xia watched this scene and couldn't help but chuckle. She leaned close to Jiang Chuan's ear and whispered, "Your Squirtle seems to be a pure-hearted little boy~"

Jiang Chuan nodded and looked at the mountains and forests.

"Alright, we should head down the mountain now. Miss Officer Jenny should have finished checking for wildfire hazards."

…………

The three of them walked down the mountain path.

Along the way, we encountered Officer Jenny and four police turtles who were doing their final checks.

After confirming that there were no remaining sparks, the group returned to Bluewater Town together.

The townspeople had already heard the news that the wildfire had been extinguished, and when they saw Officer Jenny walking with her four Squirtle turtles in a row, they all curiously gathered around.

"Ms. Officer Jenny, what are these Squirtle...?"

"They're now police support Pokémon," Officer Jenny announced loudly. "From now on, they'll help me maintain order in town and also do firefighting."

The townspeople were taken aback at first, then burst into cheers.

"Very good!"

"So these little guys were the ones who helped put out the fire!"

"I knew it! The Squirtles may be naughty, but they're not bad at heart!"

"From now on, we'll call them 'Officer Tortoises'!"

The four Squirtle turtles puffed out their chests, trying to look dignified, but their constantly wagging tails betrayed their excitement.

Standing beside Jiang Chuan, Squirtle's leader looked at his underlings being surrounded by the crowd, his eyes behind his sunglasses filled with satisfaction.

It raised its paw and touched Jiang Chuan's leg.

Jenny, Jenny Jenny.

(Thank you. This is... really good.)

Jiang Chuan smiled and touched its shell.

"Let's go say goodbye to them. We should continue our journey."

Squirtle, the leader, nodded and trotted over to his four underlings.

The five Squirtle huddled together, whispering to each other.

Jenny, Jenny Jenny!

(Guys, I'm off to a bigger stage with my trainers! You guys better do your best here!)

The four younger brothers nodded emphatically, their eyes slightly moist.

Jenny! Jenny Jenny!

(Don't worry, boss! We'll definitely become the best police turtles!)

(When you become famous, you have to come back and visit us!)

(We'll keep cheering you on!)

Squirtle took a deep breath, raised his paw, and gave each of his four underlings a high-five.

Then, it turned around and returned to Jiang Chuan's side without hesitation.

There was no turning back.

Because it fears that if it turns back, it will be reluctant to leave.

…………

After replenishing their supplies, Jiangchuan, Huazi, and Xiaoxia embarked on their journey once again.

Leaving Bluewater Town, we walked along the road leading to Leaf City.

As Jiang Chuan walked, he organized his system inventory and current team.

Pikachu: Electric Ball

Pidgey: Super Fly Fruit

Butterfree: Super Fly Fruit, Silver Powder

Bulbasaur: A premium miracle seed, an everlasting stone.

Squirtle: The Mysterious Drop

This setup, placed in a new player's training home, is simply a game-changer.

This area, formerly known as the "newcomer training zone" of Kureha City, can now be arbitrarily occupied.

Jiang Chuan was making plans in his mind.

However, he was not satisfied.

Because we still need one more starter Pokémon for the mission.

Charmander.

Jiang Chuan had previously approached Bulbasaur and Squirtle with a "let's try our luck" attitude.

But he was determined to get Charmander.

In the original story, there was that little fire dragon that was abandoned on a rainy night...

Jiang Chuan's eyes were deep and profound.

He remembers it very clearly.

That little Charmander displayed amazing perseverance and potential in the original work, and was even able to defeat Articuno, one of the three legendary birds of the Kanto region.

Its potential is absolutely top-notch.

This is one we absolutely must capture.

This is not just about completing the starter Pokémon missions and obtaining the ultimate reward.

Furthermore, it was to achieve the basic lineup of six participants in the Quartz Conference.

Just as Jiang Chuan's thoughts were churning.

【Ding! 】

The familiar system notification sound rang in my ears once again.
