"Chururu!"
As their eyes met, Lopunny charged out using Quick Attack.
"Clefable, dodge it and use Hyper Voice!"
Clefable closed its eyes to concentrate and gave a slight hop, narrowly dodging the lightning-fast impact.
Once the opponent was forced to a halt upon landing, Clefable's chest suddenly swelled like a drum, and its curled feelers burst with pale golden light.
The next instant, a clear cry soared into the sky.
"Clef—!"
To Whitney's surprise, the Lopunny ahead seemed to have anticipated it and leaped into the air.
Under Clefable's panicked gaze, the Rising High Jump Kick was like a sword drawn from its scabbard, completely piercing through the rings of sound waves!
[High Jump Kick: Attacks the target with a high-flying kick. If it misses, the user takes damage.]
"Y-you're kidding, right?!"
Whitney watched in shock as Clefable was blasted away.
Although Clefable wasn't her ace Pokémon, she had never seen a move like High Jump Kick directly pierce through Hyper Voice.
Moreover, this Lopunny didn't even have a Trainer commanding it!
At this moment, the energetic girl felt like she was facing an unprecedented crisis.
How could this Lopunny be so strong?!
"Chururu?"
On the other side, looking at the opponent being blasted back and the broken trees caught in the crossfire, even Lopunny herself was startled.
Could this be...
She suddenly recalled certain changes in her body after her bath yesterday and felt a secret doubt.
My body became more erotic, but I became stronger?
"Clef..."
Clefable struggled to its feet, its originally clean face now covered in dust.
Fortunately, High Jump Kick was a Fighting-type move, and its effect was halved against a Fairy-type like Clefable.
"Clefable, can you still fight?"
Whitney looked worriedly at her disheveled Clefable.
"Clef!" Clefable shook its head, indicating it was fine.
"Good! Then let her see what we're made of! Use Moonblast!"
Seeing this, Lopunny's pupils shrank, and she immediately used Mirror Coat to replicate the attack and counter.
Just as the wind became like knives and dust fell like a waterfall, and two full moons appeared on the farm simultaneously, a man's voice drifted over lazily.
"Gardevoir, use Extrasensory to stop them."
As soon as he spoke, a surge of pinkish-purple energy poured down, blasting directly into the center of the two Pokémon.
After a while, the smoke cleared.
"Try to be a bit gentler next time."
Looking at the two Pokémon directly knocked unconscious by the Extrasensory and the girl whose pupils were trembling, Hakuya started to speak but stopped, only able to sigh helplessly.
"Gar~"
Indeed, the best way to stop a fight is to beat everyone up. Classic—
Finally, after the girl's explanation, Hakuya finally understood the whole story.
"I'm truly sorry for the trouble caused to you."
Hakuya bowed deeply in apology and introduced himself:
"I am the owner of this farm. You can just call me Hakuya."
"This Lopunny is my Pokémon. She probably mistook you for farm intruders, so..."
After some explanation, Whitney finally realized the truth.
"It's okay! After all, we didn't explain ourselves beforehand."
"Your name is Hakuya, right? Nice to meet you, I'm Whitney. I'm the Gym Leader of the Goldenrod Gym. Please take care of me from now on."
"Hello."
Hakuya couldn't help but take an extra look at the girl.
Her rounded face now glowed like a peach, her short cherry-blossom pink hair curled into a nice arc at the tips, and her apricot eyes curved into crescents, making her look very playful and cute.
Most eye-catching of all was that pair of breasts that the shirt almost couldn't hide. The white fabric was propped up by two rounded snowy mounds, squeezing a shallow cleavage between the buttons as she breathed.
Hakuya's mind already recalled all her information.
The energetic cow-girl—Whitney, the Gym Leader of Goldenrod Gym in the Johto region.
Her ace Pokémon is Miltank. That "Moomoo Tank" strategy combined with Rollout was called incredibly dirty by countless players in his past life's games.
But why did she travel all the way from Johto to Sinnoh?
Hakuya was secretly curious.
"By the way, that Lopunny is your Pokémon, right? She's raised incredibly well!"
With the misunderstanding resolved, Whitney returned to her usual energetic self, leaning in excitedly to praise Hakuya.
"In my days as a Gym Leader, I haven't seen many Pokémon this strong—"
Recalling the Trainers who came to challenge the Goldenrod Gym, Whitney compared them in her mind and could only reach this conclusion.
"Is that so? Lopunny also appreciates your praise."
Hakuya smiled and replied.
"Chururu~"
Lopunny chimed in from the side, a rare look of pride appearing on her face.
"So... so... can you tell me how you train them?"
Whitney propped her face up with both hands and suddenly leaned in close, her large, clear, bright eyes staring at him.
The snowy cleavage at her chest trembled violently with her movement, making Hakuya pause in a daze.
"Uh..."
Hearing the girl's unconventional question, he was suddenly at a loss for words.
How was he supposed to say it?
There was only one reason Lopunny could achieve this level—the Supple Body Trait was working.
"..."
But he couldn't exactly tell the girl that she became like this through an "interaction of love," could he?
"Ahem... let's not stand outside. Let's go inside and sit down."
Hakuya coughed a few times, trying to change the subject.
"How can you be like this... fine then."
Hearing the black-haired youth's clumsy excuse, Whitney's watery eyes looked like they were about to drip, and she finally hung her head in disappointment.
Of course, she didn't think too much of it.
After all, many Trainers had their own exclusive secrets, and not sharing them was a silent, accepted rule.
However, when she glanced down, she suddenly noticed Hakuya's gaze lingering on her chest, and her face couldn't help but turn red.
Ugh... if I knew, I wouldn't have worn this shirt. It feels like... like it's about to burst...
"Gar~"
Back in the cabin, Gardevoir thoughtfully served hot water to host them.
"Thank you." "Clef!"
Whitney and Clefable smiled and thanked her.
Finally, after taking a sip of hot water, the pink-haired girl explained her purpose.
"Sorry for disturbing you so abruptly. I came here this time to fulfill my grandpa's wish..."
Saying this, Whitney tilted her head cutely and pulled out a pile of Poké Balls from nowhere, tossing them onto the empty space in the living room.
"So, I'll leave these children to you from now on, Hakuya!"
"This is..."
Hakuya watched the Pokémon hopping out of the Poké Balls in surprise.
Row after row of Miltank lifted their little heads, curiously looking around and mooing softly.
Quite a few even crawled over, docilely rubbing their heads against his pant legs.
Hakuya counted them specifically; there were a full twenty-four of them, and they seemed to be newborns.
"It looks like these children really like you..."
Whitney's eyes curved into crescents as she watched the black-haired youth surrounded by Miltank, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
As if seeing Hakuya's confusion, she continued to explain.
"My grandpa and Mr. White were old acquaintances. They traveled together when they were young."
"Decades ago, after the Johto League ended, they went their separate ways and returned to their hometowns to build farms."
"I heard that you've taken over the Hiyori Town farm, so my grandpa specifically asked me to come from Johto to entrust these children to you..."
"So that's how it is."
Hakuya nodded in realization.
The "Mr. White" Whitney mentioned was actually his deceased grandfather, the former owner of Hiyori Town.
Looking at the twenty-odd Miltank in the living room, Hakuya felt a warmth in his heart.
Although Whitney didn't state it clearly, he could guess.
Grandpa's old friend probably worried the farm would completely decline after Grandpa passed away, so he specifically sent the Miltank over.
After all, the Moomoo Milk produced by Miltank is highly sought after by many Trainers. If cared for properly, this would become a significant source of income for the farm.
"Thank you. I will definitely take good care of them!"
