Hanako Takes the Initiative, Tonight I'll Do It

Although we took a detour, the harvest was far more plentiful than expected!

First, the system rewards:

[Challenge Mission: Communicate with the Ancient Dragonite] Completed!

[Rewards: 3 High-Grade Rare Candies, 1 Ancient Crystal, and a permanent 100% increase to Dragonite's racial affinity!]

Advanced magical candies can directly increase a spirit's level and create miracles in crucial moments.

Ancient crystals, their specific uses are currently unknown, but they are certainly not ordinary items.

Dragonite's racial affinity is now 100%! This means that any Dragonite, Dragonair, or Dratini you encounter from now on will start with maximum affinity! The difficulty of catching, communicating with, and seeking help will be drastically reduced! This is a huge, hidden benefit!

Non-system rewards are equally amazing:

The magical conch shell—a token of friendship from an ancient, giant Dragonite, essentially a trump card.

Zheng Hui's payment of 500,000 Alliance Coins—real wealth—resolved his financial worries.

However, what excited Jiang Chuan the most, and even made him somewhat impatient, was another mission reward.

The emotional storyline quest with Xiaoxia!

Main Quest: Become Xia's Partner (Completed)

[Mission Reward: Superpower Physique - Gain the basic aptitude for cultivating and utilizing superpowers!]

superpower!

This is one of the most practical and powerful special abilities in the Pokémon world, aside from a few others like Aura Power and Viridian Power!

Telekinesis, telepathy, instant teleportation, precognition... when cultivated to a high level, their power is boundless!

Although I achieved good results with the "Friend of Nature" and the basic "Wave Guide Power" rewarded by the system, superpowers are a different system with a wider range of applications and huge potential!

While Hanako and Kasumi were preparing lunch and chatting and laughing by the stream in the distance, they took advantage of the moment.

Jiang Chuan walked behind a big tree and silently recited in his heart:

"Claim your reward—Superpower Physique!"

In an instant!

A cool yet powerful invisible energy seemed to surge forth from the depths of his soul!

It instantly flowed through all four limbs and bones, finally converging at the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows!

Jiang Chuan felt a "buzz" in his head, as if a long-standing membrane had been suddenly pierced!

A faint, star-like, deep blue light shone from the depths of his eyes.

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and tried to mobilize the power that had just awakened.

A faint cool sensation came from between my eyebrows.

His gaze was fixed on a pebble about the size of a thumb at his feet.

A thought flashed through his mind: "Rise!"

The small stone wobbled slightly.

Then, very slowly and shakily, it floated up from the ground!

It rose to about knee height and then stopped.

Jiang Chuan could feel an invisible but real "force" supporting the small stone.

This power is still very weak, and it is quite difficult to control.

His mind raced again: "Turn!"

The little stone began to spin clumsily and haltingly in the air.

It lasted for about five seconds.

Jiang Chuan felt a slight swelling between his eyebrows, and that force quickly subsided.

The little stone fell back to the ground with a "plop".

"call……"

Jiang Chuan let out a breath, but an excited smile appeared on his face.

It worked!

Although it can only move such a small thing, and the duration is short.

But this is a genuine superpower!

On the first day of awakening, one can move objects with their mind!

This starting point of talent is already frighteningly high.

You should know that many of the apprentices at the psychic gyms in Goldenrod City train hard for years, and they might not even be able to bend a spoon slightly.

Not to mention moving objects out of thin air.

"A superpowered physique... truly domineering!"

Jiang Chuan felt a surge of excitement.

This is only the initial awakening, the most basic state.

Once the correct training methods are found, and through continuous practice and improvement, more applications can be developed...

Telepathy, mind defense, even teleportation, precognition...

The future is incredibly bright!

As for the methods of cultivation...

Jiang Chuan was not in a hurry.

Just figure it out slowly; you'll have to go to Golden City sooner or later anyway.

That's the headquarters for espers in the Kanto region. I'll try to get their training techniques and experience; I can even buy it for a little money.

or……

A hint of amusement flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

It wouldn't be out of the question to get in touch with that dangerous "superpowered queen" Sabrina.

High risk often means high reward.

…………

Jiang Chuan was in a great mood after receiving the reward.

During the rest of the journey, he focused his main attention on Pikachu.

It wants to challenge the Leaf Gym one-on-one.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan decisively adopted the "centralized training" strategy.

Almost all the wild Pokémon encountered along the way that were suitable for Pikachu to practice with were given to it.

With the "VIP Experience Badge" (which grants an additional 20% experience points for defeating trainers or wild Pokémon), Pikachu's experience bar rises rapidly.

The journey from the Shining Lighthouse to Konoha City is quite long.

The journey took us through forests, across meadows, and along the coastline.

Pikachu used its electric shock ability on countless Spearow, Pidgey, Rattata, Oddish, and Tindercoat (in the shallow water near the shore)...

Pikachu's battle experience and level are increasing at a visible rate.

When the towering silhouettes of the city of Kureha could be seen in the distance.

Pikachu's aura surged.

[Pokémon: Pikachu, Level: lv36→ lv40 (quasi-Gym Leader)]

Near-dojo level!

We've crossed a major threshold!

Pikachu excitedly called out "Pika Pika!" and jumped around.

It could feel itself becoming much stronger!

Jiang Chuan patted its head with satisfaction.

well.

With this level of strength, he should be even more confident against Lt. Surge of the Vermilion City Gym.

Even if the opponent uses their true Gym Leader level trump card, Pikachu still has a fighting chance!

"Jiangchuan~"

A crisp sound rang out.

Xiaoxia came running over, her face full of concern.

After a few days of adjustment and with Hanako's gentle guidance and comfort, she has fully recovered her former liveliness.

Of course, it's the vivacity that comes with her new identity—Jiang Chuan's official girlfriend.

She's no longer as shy as she was a few days ago, and has become even more clingy. However, she still blushes occasionally when Jiang Chuan teases her.

"Why have you been training so hard lately? Pikachu must be exhausted." Xiaoxia touched Pikachu's chin, feeling a little sorry for him.

Jiang Chuan explained, "The Vermilion City Gym is an officially certified intermediate-level gym. Its leader, Lt. Surge, is skilled in Electric-type moves and is quite strong. The more Pikachu improves, the greater its chances of winning."

He paused, looked at Xiaoxia's pretty face so close to his own, grinned mischievously, and lowered his voice:

"What, you're feeling sorry for me? Then treat me well when we get to the city tonight?"

As he spoke, his hand naturally slid down to Xiaoxia's pert buttocks and gave them a light pinch.

It is very elastic and has an excellent feel.

"ah!"

Xiaoxia gasped softly, jumping back half a step like a startled rabbit. Her face flushed instantly, and she glared at Jiang Chuan reproachfully.

However, her eyes were watery and didn't seem to have much power.

"You pervert! No... not today!"

She hesitated for a moment, her voice barely audible:

"Wait for me...wait until I buy new underwear for you...those ones from the older women are too...too embarrassing, if you see them..."

As she spoke, her face grew redder and redder. Finally, unable to continue, she turned and ran away to feed her goldfish and starfish, pretending to be very busy.

Jiang Chuan watched her flee in disarray, laughing so hard his shoulders shook.

Just then, a warm fragrance approached.

Hanako had quietly moved closer to Jiang Chuan at some point, her mature and voluptuous body almost pressed against him.

She tiptoed, her warm breath brushing against Jiang Chuan's ear, and whispered sweetly in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Xiaoxia is shy, tonight... I'll treat you."

"Whatever style you want to see... I'll wear them all for you."

As she spoke, her mature body gently brushed against Jiang Chuan's arm.

These past two days have been a time when her physical desires are particularly strong.

She endured the lack of suitable conditions when traveling.

Now that they were almost in the city, the thought of having time alone with her that evening made her restless.

So she took the initiative.

Jiang Chuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he felt the soft touch on her arm and the undisguised invitation in Hanako's words.

He wrapped his arm around Hanako's slender waist and pinched her rounded buttocks, finding them to be another kind of plump and smooth.

"Okay." He grinned wickedly and whispered in Hanako's ear, "I promise I'll feed you well tonight."

"Hmm~"

Hanako trembled as he pinched her, letting out a seductive moan.

Her legs felt weak, and she quickly tilted her head back and kissed Jiang Chuan on the cheek, her eyes brimming with affection.

"Okay, I love you~"

After saying that, she ran away shyly, just like Xiaoxia.

However, she ran to Eevee, who was playing nearby, and hugged it tightly, starting to vigorously stroke its soft, fluffy fur.

"Bu-ee? Bu-ee-bu-ee!"

Ibrahimovic looked bewildered and barked twice, sounding both comfortable and confused.

What's wrong with Master?

So suddenly so enthusiastic...

It turned its little head and looked at Jiang Chuan, who was talking to Pikachu in the distance, and then at its owner, who was hugging it, with slightly flushed cheeks and bright, watery eyes.

Ibrahimovic's little head seemed to understand something.

That wretched Pikachu owner!

It must have said something strange to its owner again!

The master was so excited that she forgot herself again!

"Bu-i..." (Master, stop just petting me, give me something to eat...)

Ibu gave up struggling helplessly, collapsing into Hanako's arms and letting her vent her pent-up excitement and anticipation.

…………

It was evening.

The three finally arrived in Konoha City.

As an important port city in the Kanto region, Koroba City is far more prosperous than the towns we had passed through before.

Tall buildings, wide streets, pedestrians and vehicles coming and going, the air seems to be filled with the unique salty smell and vitality of the harbor.

They had a clear goal: to head to the Pokémon Center first.

This allows the spirits who have traveled a long way to receive adequate treatment and rest, while also settling down for themselves.

however.

When they arrived at the familiar red building with the giant Poké Ball logo, they froze.

There was a long queue outside the Pokémon Center!

Not just at the entrance.

Even the main hall was packed with trainers!

The center was packed with people, bustling with activity, filled with the sounds of chatter, the calls of fairies, and the busy figures of Nurse Joy and Chansey.

"What's going on?" Xiaoxia exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise. "Why are there so many trainers?"

Hanako frowned slightly: "There seem to be several times more people than usual..."

Jiang Chuan's gaze swept over the trainers queuing up; their Pokémon were all charred black.
