Chapter 3

Departure

Thanks to the deep bond between them and Officer Jenny, Team Natsuki obtained equipment for their trip, as well as medicine and Poké Balls necessary for catching Pokémon, and enough food they finally managed to save up after emptying the refrigerator.

Looking at the large and small bags of his bounty, Xia Mu got up and said goodbye with satisfaction.

"Bye-bye, Officer Jenny!"

Looking at Natsuki waving goodbye with a bright smile, and then at the room behind her that looked like it had been ransacked, Officer Jenny's expression was indescribable.

"Why can't I control my hands?!"

If Xia Mu hadn't discovered that I was secretly eating Häagen-Dazs from the fridge, I wouldn't have lost my newly bought kitchen knife and the heavy ball I kept as a collectible!

At this moment, the vine snake brandished the kitchen knife with its vine whip, examined the blade, and nodded in satisfaction.

Xia Mu also touched the heavy, solid ball and nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at the two of them, Officer Jenny's expression was indescribable.

Then.

After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic Officer Jenny, Natsume looked at the map on his phone and remained silent for a moment.

He turned around and knocked on the door.

"Purple, take me to the entrance of Road 4~"

Looking at the affected and pretentious Xia Mu, Officer Jenny seemed to have thought of something, and a very bright smile appeared on her face.

"no problem!"

Seeing Xia Mu's delighted expression, Hayok, who was squatting next to Officer Jenny, shook his head, his eyes filled with only three words.

"You're in big trouble."

Then, it consciously crawled into the Poké Ball.

However, Xia Mu did not notice this.

Or.

Xia Mu didn't care about any of that as long as he could hitch a ride.

Could Officer Jenny really make a car fly?

......

"Flying...flying...the car really flew!!"

Seeing that DouDou Pigeon had almost bumped into her, Xia Mu ignored the few seemingly filthy cries and hugged XinYeMiao tightly in her arms.

"Officer Jenny, slow down! I'm not in a hurry, I'm not rushing!"

Faced with Xia Mu's pleas for mercy, Officer Jenny's mind flashed back to the scene in the kitchen once again.

You didn't even leave out the seasonings!

Officer Jenny remained silent, only twisting the accelerator repeatedly.

It used to take more than half an hour to drive there.

Thanks to Officer Jenny's efforts, Natsuki stood at the intersection of Road 4 in just ten minutes.

"Thank...uh, thank you, sis."

Watching Natsuki shakily climb down from the motorcycle, Officer Jenny looked at the azure sky and felt a sense of boundless expanse, a vast sky and sea, and felt refreshed.

Let's go to the Pokémon Center later and get some Nurse Joy's Häagen-Dazs!

Officer Jenny silently made up her mind, her red lips curving slightly upwards.

"Contact me when you come back, and I'll pick you up!"

Looking at that pretty face, Xia Mu felt that people's hearts were treacherous.

I'd rather jump off the roof of Raven Tower and kiss Mud than ride your motorcycle again.

After silently cursing in his heart, Xia Mu looked at Officer Jenny's bright smiling face.

I've decided to send a message to Miss Joey later and ask her to keep an eye on Officer Jenny and the refrigerator.

"Okay, thank you, sis!"

After a round of polite but insincere conversation among the adults, Xia Mu watched Officer Jenny ride away on her motorcycle, then took out his phone and a Snivy Poké Ball from his backpack.

"I'm counting on you, Snivy!"

"Miyo!"

The Snivy nodded and skillfully used its vine whip to lift the phone.

Looking at this scene, Xia Mu couldn't help but sigh.

"What a pity, the Rotom phone is still under development..."

After learning the exact timeline of his time travel, Xia Mu knew...

I can't possibly be like those old-school Pokémon transmigrator predecessors who gained researcher status by discovering Eevee's evolved form and new attributes.

There are no resources to develop any multi-faceted beast phones.

The concept of Rotom phones has emerged but has not yet been fully released.

Natsuki could only rely on Tengteng Snake as a mobile photographer.

Facing the camera, Xia Mu and his two protectors stood still and began to speak:

"Hello everyone, trainers! Today's topic is—Raven City Gym Guide!"

"Raven City, as the largest entertainment city in the Unova region, is known as the 'City That Never Sleeps.' Among its many notable figures is Raven City's Gym Leader, Daisy, who is not only a world-renowned supermodel but also a formidable Trainer."

"Therefore, in order to ensure that all trainers have wonderful memories in Raven City, I've decided to create a gym challenge guide for everyone!"

Clapping!

Xia Mu clapped his hands and applauded himself.

"As we all know, the Raven City Gym operates on a 3v3 battle system, so the first requirement for challenging the Raven City Gym is to have at least three Pokémon in your hand."

Then, the phone scanned Shin-chan and Tengi-snake.

"It's obvious I'm missing an elf!"

"So... based on the distribution information in the Pokédex, our goal is to head to the Wilderness Scenic Area to catch a Ground-type Pokémon!"

After the opening, Xia Mu didn't waste any more words.

He waved as he looked at the deserted highway.

"Set off!"

"Meow!"

"Miyo!"

......

On the bus from Route 4 to the Wilderness Scenic Area, Natsuki, holding Shin-chan, gazed at the seemingly unchanged scenery outside the window and fell into deep thought.

Why didn't I think of that?

Wilderness resort, it’s obviously a place for tourists.

There are direct buses available.

Why did I walk for so long under the scorching sun?!
