After leaving the Pokémon House, Xiaoyan went to the Pokémon Center and called Professor Oak. As it happened, Oak had just finished his research on Ho - Oh and then transferred Xiaoyan's Ho - Oh to him. After returning, Xiaoyan first settled Xiaolan in a hotel. Early the next morning, he went out for morning training.
"You guys are in good form today!" Among Xiaoyan's Pokémon team, Arceus and Ho - Oh were the most powerful, followed by Dragonite, then Charmeleon, Pikachu, and Eevee, which had never been trained.
(It seems not enough Pokémon if I want to participate in the Indigo League.) Xiaoyan thought to himself.
"Aren't you a Pokémon trainer? Well, since you seem to be training your Pokémon, let me introduce my new product to you. It's the Pokémon Competition Vest. It can double the effectiveness of your Pokémon's training." A cute girl came to Xiaoyan to promote her product.
"No, thanks. My Pokémon don't need that kind of help." Xiaoyan had been playing with Pokémon since childhood without any equipment, and he could even win the league directly in the game...
Suddenly, the girl threw herself on Xiaoyan.
(Maybe she was charmed by my good looks. Fortunately, Xiaolan isn't here. Otherwise, he would spread the story everywhere.) Xiaoyan was startled. How could she just pounce on him like that!
"Big brother~ Please~ I really need the money to save my mother. She had an accident and is lying in the hospital now." Immediately, Xiaoyan's kind - heartedness kicked in.
"Okay! Give me six. How much are they?"
"12,000 yuan in total." Xiaoyan took out a stack of banknotes and handed them to the salesgirl who was still lying on him. As soon as the girl got the money, she quickly got up.
"Little girl, what's your name?"
"Who are you calling little girl? I'm ten years old this year. My name is Xiaolan."
"That's the same as mine..."
"I'll be leaving then if you have nothing else to say."
Xiaoyan smelled the lingering fragrance of the girl on his body.
"Actually, she's quite pretty."
"Let's go back."
When Xiaoyan was about to pick up his backpack and badge case that he had just placed on the big rock beside him, he found that they were all gone. Now that he thought about it, the only people who had passed by here were himself and the salesgirl named Xiaolan. There was no one else.
"Ah... Such a beautiful girl turns out to be a thief. She's so young but already stealing. I have to find her quickly." After recalling his Pokémon, Xiaoyan ran towards the bustling street.
"These badges can't even be bought with money." On the other side, Xiaolan was looking at the gym badges in her hand, intoxicated.
"I wonder what he'll think when he finds out?"
"This is just a job I need to do to survive. Let's just consider it as his act of charity."

"Find the person in the photo and bring him here. Retrieve the things he stole."
"Yes, Boss Giovanni!"
＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿
"Pikachu, catch her." Xiaoyan saw Xiaolan sitting leisurely in a coffee shop, drinking coffee with the money from his wallet.
Before Xiaolan could react, Pikachu directly grabbed her. But the place Pikachu grabbed seemed a bit inappropriate. Then Pikachu released an Electro Ball, paralyzing Xiaolan.
"Give back my badges and money." At this moment, Xiaolan actually broke free from the paralysis and threw herself at Xiaoyan. At this time, Xiaoyan caught a glimpse of the sexy view inside her top, which made him believe that the saying "childish face with a voluptuous body" was true.
(Isn't she only ten years old? How could she be so... There's a hot stream coming out of my nose. Uh... It's red.)
"Get up first. Look, even the passers - by are looking at us." There was a large crowd of onlookers around, pointing at them and whispering something.
"I just won't get up. What can you do about it?" Xiaoyan had never seen such a coquettish girl. Wait... Was this coquetry or blackmail?
"Find the person in the photo and take him to Boss Giovanni alive." A person in a Team Rocket uniform shouted. When Xiaolan was being dragged away, Xiaoyan's body instinctively grabbed the Team Rocket member's wrist.
"Wait a minute. If you want to get your stuff back, please queue up. I was here first!!!"
Xiaoyan casually threw out a Pokémon ball, and a Pokémon emerged from it.
"Charmeleon, use Flamethrower." The Team Rocket member dodged the Flamethrower skillfully. Then he released his own Pokémon.
"Sandshrew, use Dig." Sandshrew quickly dug a hole in the ground and went deeper and deeper until its whole body disappeared underground.
"Charmeleon, wait for it to come out."
Sandshrew emerged from under Charmeleon's feet. Charmeleon neatly dodged to the back of Sandshrew and hugged it tightly with both hands.
"Flamethrower." Even for a Ground - type Pokémon, being hit at close range would cause quite a bit of damage.
(My Charmeleon has been trained with me in the research institute for three years. Its intelligence and strength far exceed those of Sandshrew.)
"Sandshrew, use Sand Attack."
"Charmeleon, use Slash." Sandshrew used its horn to pick up some sand from somewhere and threw it at Charmeleon. Charmeleon used Slash to clear a path and hit Sandshrew head - on. At this time, Sandshrew had lost its fighting ability and was lying on the ground.
"Come back, Sandshrew."
"What on earth do you want?" Xiaoyan asked the Team Rocket member.
"The woman you're protecting stole our Team Rocket's confidential documents. We have to take her back to our boss. Although you've won this time, you'll surely be punished by our boss in the future. Hahaha～～～" After saying that, the Team Rocket member was gone. He should have gone back to report the situation.
Xiaoyan looked back at Xiaolan, and Xiaolan looked back at him. Suddenly, crystal - clear tears welled up in Xiaolan's eyes.
"Although you stole my things, I'll protect you until this matter is resolved. Don't worry." Xiaoyan gave her a smile as warm as the sun.
