So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 34 I'm a law-abiding citizen!

As we all know, turning off the gas before leaving the house and closing the door after leaving the house are like breathing and blinking. When you realize it, you enter a superposition state between doing it and not doing it.

Since he hadn't received any messages on his phone, it was clear that the explosion hadn't occurred in his dorm room. Wei Xin still planned to go back and check it out, and also organize the items he'd drawn from the system.

But before that, he intends to resolve Ibrahimovic's problem.

"Senior, after the students choose their Pokémon this afternoon, will the remaining Pokémon be sent back to their original breeding center?"

To prevent accidents when students receive their first Pokémon, the research center prepares more Pokémon than the number of new students in the Battle Course, so some Pokémon will be left over afterward.

Furthermore, after entering the research center, students will spend time developing a relationship with their partners. If they find that their partners are not a good match, they can apply to choose one of the remaining Pokémon as a replacement.

In other words, if Eevee isn't chosen and becomes one of the remaining Pokémon, Wei Xin can find a way to keep Eevee at the research center.

After completing the procedures and gaining the qualification to capture a second Pokémon, add Eevee to your team.

However, because his plan was against the rules, Wei Xin dared not speak directly and could only ask indirectly.

"That's how it is in theory," the senior sister said with a smile, seeing Wei Xin's hesitant expression and as if she had seen through his plans. "Thinking about Little Ibuki?"

Through the research center's surveillance, Senior Sister Huang learned about what had happened between Wei Xin and Xiao Yibu.

As a girl, she understood Eevee's thoughts, so she lowered her head and, like a long-tailed fire fox, spoke slyly to Ralts in Wei Xin's arms.

"Little Ralts, do you know that your trainer has only been with you for a few days, and you're already thinking about other girls?"

This is no ordinary case of womanizing; we must strike hard.

The senior student sighed dramatically, "If we get other Pokémon in the future, sigh~"

"Hey, senior sister, don't talk nonsense. My feelings for Ralts are different." As he spoke, Wei Xin lowered his head and looked somewhat guilty at Ralts, who was panting and munching on snacks.

Ralts, listen to my excuses.

Upon hearing this, Ralts, who was sitting in Wei Xin's lap, put down the snack in her hand, looked up, and looked at her trainer thoughtfully.

Gently putting down the snack in her hand, Ralts clenched her small white fist and poked Wei Xin's face.

The force was very light; it was more like a coquettish complaint than a complaint.

She doesn't mind if her trainer keeps other Pokémon, just like Morpeko. She believes that even if there are other Pokémon in the house, the trainer's feelings for her will not change.

Just like her feelings for her trainers, no matter how much time passes, they will never fade.

"Just spoil him then," the senior sister chuckled. "There's still room for maneuver regarding Eevee."

Wei Xin's request was indeed against the rules, but this is a research center, and the rules are set by them.

Before leaving the research center, Senior Sister Huang advised, "However, girls tend to hold grudges, so I advise you not to have too high expectations. Besides, Eevee is different from Ralts."

Even if we do take Eevee away, how to handle her relationship with Ralts in the future will be a thorny issue.

Eevee is stubborn and will obviously not back down, nor will it allow Ralts to be wronged.

I feel like a jerk who wants both sides.

With a self-deprecating remark, Wei Xin led Ralts to the main entrance of the research center, where they happened to encounter a Ms. Officer Jenny standing at the security booth.

"In summary, please help us keep an eye out for any suspicious individuals in the vicinity."

Officer Jenny's Arcanine sat on the ground, wagging its fluffy tail, teasing the security guard's Growlithe, until Wei Xin approached.

Arcanine's black nose twitched slightly, its limbs stood upright, its head lowered, its body trembled, its mouth bared, and it made a gurgling sound in its throat as it warily stared at Wei Xin and Ralts as they approached.

Arcanine, Officer Jenny's standard partner Pokémon in the Eastern Region, only exhibits this behavior when encountering extremely dangerous individuals or suspects.

"What's wrong, Arcanine?"

Sensing the commotion, Ms. Junsha, who had just been chatting with Wei Xin, turned her head and looked past the security guard at the handsome young man walking towards her.

"I don't know!" To prevent the alert Arcanine from launching an attack that could threaten Ralts' safety, Wei Xin stood still, raised his hands, and explained.

"Miss Officer Jenny, I am a law-abiding citizen, a very law-abiding citizen."

"Student, please stand there and don't move."

Officer Jenny stroked Arcanine's neck, deactivated Arcanine's alert mode, then led Arcanine to Wei Xin and took out her police ID.

"Could you please take all your belongings out and put them on the ground?" Miss Officer Jenny asked politely.

As instructed, Wei Xin placed all his personal belongings on the ground, including his lunchbox, energy cubes, and keys, except for Ralts's shoulder bag and Poké Ball, which he held in his hands for fear of getting them dirty.

"Is everything here?" Officer Jenny asked, placing all of Wei Xin's belongings in front of the Gyrocopter's nose.

"They're all here," Wei Xin said. "Ralts has been by my side these past few days and hasn't left once."

Speeddog checked Wei Xin's belongings one by one, then shook its head.

"Could you please hand me your handbag for inspection?" Officer Jenny asked.

"Okay, but please be gentle. This is a gift for Ralts. The little guy likes it very much, so please don't break it."

After taking the handbag and examining its design, Ms. Officer Jenny paused for a moment and asked a question.

"Could you tell me where this handbag came from?"

Oh no, did the supermarket try to balance my bill?

Lottery drawer, you've forgotten the beginning and the middle; you're courting death.

Upon hearing this, Wei Xin was startled and honestly recounted the entire process of the supermarket lottery in detail.

There are no suspicious points.

After listening to Wei Xin's story, Miss Officer Jenny turned her handbag inside out and carefully examined it from front to back. At the same time, the Gyrocopter behind her raised its tail and bared its mouth.

"Ralu!"

Seeing someone carrying her bag, Ralts, who was being held in Wei Xin's arms, was already a little angry. Now, this stupid dog even dared to bare its teeth at her trainer.

Ralts frowned and glared.

Meeting Ralts's gaze felt like some terrifying memories he didn't want to recall had been awakened.

The once menacing Growlithe's pupils suddenly dilated, it tilted its head, its ears drooped and pulled back, its lips pulled back, its mouth wrinkled, its body uncontrollably lowered, and its raised tail was tucked between its legs.

"Have you lost or had your bag stolen recently?" Officer Jenny continued, not noticing the change in the speed dog.

Could it be that a suspect is carrying the same shoulder bag as Ralts?

"No." Wei Xin shook his head.

Officer Jenny opened her handbag; inside was only Ralts's completed workbook.

The moment she opened the workbook, Officer Jenny's expression changed.

[All perfect scores? The handwriting is very new, and... there are no missing pages.]

Miss Officer Jenny took out her phone and took a picture of the contents of the workbook.

"Did you write this?"

"These practice problems were completed by Ralts this morning at the research center. The people at the research center can testify to that." As he spoke, Wei Xin didn't forget to show off to Officer Jenny, "Isn't my Ralts smart?"

"Very smart."

"Are there any other questions?" Wei Xin asked, completely bewildered.

"No, maybe it's just a misunderstanding. This Arcanine was injured before and only recently returned to its post. Maybe it's a bit stressed."

With that, Officer Jenny carefully put the workbook back into her bag, gripped the shoulder straps with both hands, and hung it on Ralts: "Sorry, little guy, I misunderstood you and your trainer."

"Ralts!" Ralts responded, raising her arm as if to wipe away Officer Jenny's fingerprints, and carefully wiping the small bag again and again.

"One last question," Miss Officer Jenny said, taking a poster from her pocket and unfolding it in front of Wei Xin, "Have you seen the person in this portrait?"

Upon closer inspection, the figure in the portrait, clad in a yellow robe, quickly overlapped with Wei Xin's memory.

Upon seeing the name below the portrait, Pokémon Hunter J, Wei Xin shrank back and replied without hesitation, "I've seen it before."
