Chapter 509 Going their separate ways

"I don't agree!" Yang Ming refused decisively, "This is too much. Miss Qun'er is so petite. If you go up to her, you will probably crush her to death."

"But Master, you can't just watch me stay single!" Venusaur was unwilling to give up. "I have made great contributions. You can't just watch me remain a virgin like other bachelors, right?"

"That's true..." Yang Ming pondered for a moment, and felt that he really couldn't treat Venusaur too badly. "How about this, I'll help you find a female Venusaur, how about that?"

"This is too ugly, I can't accept it." Bulbasaur was very disgusted.

"What about the Queen of Flowers?"

"This body odor is so strong, I'm going to throw up."

"Giant vine?"

"There are too many tentacles. I won't allow the other party to have more tentacles than me."

"Then I can only find one of your kind." This condition is already quite high. The birth rate of female Bulbasaur is extremely low. It is not easy to find a suitable female Bulbasaur as a mate.

"This is too ordinary, nothing new."

"No, your requirements are too high!" Yang Ming couldn't hold it in any longer. "Even its own kind can't accept it. Do you only like human-shaped Pokémon?"

Bulbasaur shook his head: "In our eyes, human women are just like hairless Infernape. They have no charm at all. If that Pokémon falls in love with a human woman, I will definitely laugh at him for the rest of his life."

"I like Miss Skirt, mainly because I like her youthful beauty. Look at the green leaves on her body and the stamens on her head. They are so beautiful and eye-catching. They remind me of my lost youth..."

Listening to Venusaur's endless chatter, Yang Ming felt speechless: "Can't you just choose not to mate?"

"No," Bulbasaur argued, "Don't you humans also have three major desires? Appetite, sexual desire, and sleep. I think Pokémon should also satisfy the same desires."

"I can't accept an ascetic life like Magneto's."

Magneto has no gender and naturally has no particularly strong desire to reproduce. It floats in the air all day, seemingly thinking about something.

In the end, Yang Ming was unable to satisfy Venusaur's desire and declined the request on the grounds that "Miss Skirt is a Pokémon unique to the Unova region." Venusaur had no choice but to accept this fact.

After a few more days, the centipede evolved into a wheel ball.

The evolved wheel ball grew three times in size, and its entire body rolled into a purple "wheel" covered with sharp spikes. It still wanted to "wrestle" with Yang Ming just like before.

Unfortunately, as his size and strength grew, Yang Ming could no longer play with this guy covered with poisonous stingers. He could only entrust this job to the poisonous jellyfish and Magneto, and he was only responsible for taking care of his daily diet.

"Watching Pokémon evolve is like watching my own children grow up." Yang Ming sighed in his heart.

Compared to the not-so-intelligent Gyrocoppa, Vulturena behaves more obediently. Perhaps because it is the Pokémon that Fenglu exchanged for Yang Ming, it is also very close to Fenglu.

Days passed one by one. In addition to training Pokémon, Yang Ming also received some old friends who came to visit. The leader of the Azure Gym, Ah Si, had already regained consciousness. Now that Yang Ming had recovered from his injuries, he also came to Manjin City to meet him.

"In fact, the young lady came here once last month, but because you were still asleep, she had to return to the Galar region first."

The "Miss" that Ah Si mentioned naturally refers to Cai Dou. If Yang Ming had not been repeatedly rubbed by Cai Dou in the Azure City, he would probably not have been able to defeat Bixias in the "Evergreen Forest".

"The lady left a message for you. You are always welcome to challenge her in Suchuan Town in the Galar region."

"I understand." Yang Ming nodded solemnly.

Although Team Rocket took over Johto, most of the gym leaders in the Johto area did not choose to resign. To them, the Alliance replacing Team Rocket was just like changing the boss, and what they had to do would not change.

However, there are also some people who choose to resign from the position of gym leader. Xiaochun from Yanmo Town is one of them. As Du's cousin, it is impossible for her to stay in Team Rocket's territory and serve as a gym leader.

"Don't stop getting stronger. I want to compete with you next time." These are the words Xiaochun left for Yang Ming.

In contrast, there is Komatsu from Enju City. After Scorched Tower reached an agreement with Team Rocket, he, as the successor of Scorched Tower, chose to stay and protect Enju City.

Asi and Asu's choices were the same as his. They were both representatives of the local forces in Johto, and they did not have a strong sense of belonging to the alliance.

Surprisingly, Abi from the Hinoki Gym chose to resign as gym leader, but his reason had nothing to do with Team Rocket.

"After witnessing the battles of Daigo, Watari and Sakaki, I became deeply aware of my own shortcomings. I decided to go to the Padiya region to practice and find a way to make myself stronger."

Suikyo also left Johto. He decided to become a Pokémon researcher and strive to gain Suicune's recognition in his lifetime.

"I really envy you for being recognized by Emperor Yan, but I won't give up. Just wait and see the day when my wish comes true!"

Apart from Ami who is far away in Sinnoh, only Akane has not decided whether to stay or go.

"You haven't thought about it yet?" Yang Ming couldn't help asking.

"No," Xiao Qian's eyes dodged, "What about you, will you stay in Manjin City?"

"No." Yang Ming gave a negative answer. Although he could be said to be omnipotent in Manjin City, Yang Ming knew in his heart that the current environment could no longer satisfy his further growth. If he wanted to go further, he had to leave his current comfort zone, leave Manjin, and even leave Chengdu.

On this day, two rare guests came to Manjin City. They were the evil king Lihua and Yang Ming's "good brother" Xinghe. Lihua's injuries had completely healed, and she was now in high spirits, just like when Yang Ming first saw her.

"Even though I'm healed, there's still a scar left," Lihua lifted her clothes to reveal a faint scar on her waist, "I'm really worried that I won't be able to get married in the future. Good brother, when the time comes, just take me in~"

"Go away, and find the person who stabbed you to take responsibility!"

Compared to Lihua who was still in the mood to joke with Yang Ming, Xinghe seemed to be in a much lower mood. He was transferred to the seven islands far away from the Kanto mainland, and it would be difficult for him to come back in the future.

Yang Ming sighed. Being transferred to such a remote area meant that it would be difficult for Xinghe to have any room for advancement in the league. This was undoubtedly a big blow to him.

"The Seven Islands are the hometown of the Kona King. The climate there is pleasant and there are many rare Pokémon. Although there are no opportunities for promotion, it is also far away from those dangerous missions." Yang Ming could only comfort him in this way. "You can go there to settle down and gain experience. Think of it in a positive way. At least you and I will not have the chance to be enemies in the future."

He didn't think about trying to get Xinghe to join Team Rocket because he knew she would definitely refuse.

"Yeah," Xinghe smiled reluctantly, "At least there won't be a day when I will come into conflict with my elder brother. This can be considered a blessing in disguise."

Just as a few people were chatting, a third guest arrived.
