"It's over?"
Officer Jenny opened her eyes in the suddenly stilled storm, looking incredulously at the scene before her.
Unlike May, who could only watch on TV, this cool, glamorous, and sexy police officer on the front lines was obviously much more shocked.
Just as she and Growlithe were exhausted and despairing over their inability to stop the beast tide, a holy bird Pokémon like ice and frost descended here. With just one [Blizzard] strike, it annihilated the forest fire and the tyrannical wild Pokémon completely.
It had to be said, it was truly...
"Big Brother Hakuya, you were simply too handsome just now, uuu-waa~" "Piplup-piplup~"
Unlike Officer Jenny, whose heart was trembling secretly beside them, the pretty blue-haired girl obviously didn't think so much. She pounced on Hakuya in adoration, a rosy flush appearing on her face at some point.
"It wasn't just me; you guys resisting the beast tide were also very cool."
Holding the pouncing Dawn, Hakuya smiled and corrected the blue-haired girl's statement.
He wasn't someone who became arrogant and greedy for credit after being a hero. Everyone had different abilities, and exerting one's strength as much as possible within one's capability also made one a hero.
"Uuu..."
Wrapping her lotus arms around the farm owner's neck, Dawn, who was now riding a tiger she couldn't get off, had flushed cheeks. Her emerald-blue eyes were also stained with a layer of misty moisture.
Because of the sudden hug, Hakuya's large hands happened to support the girl's full, perky buttocks.
Held by such solid and powerful hands, Dawn felt her whole body tremble. Those two halves of honey-peach buttock flesh wrapped in the cherry-pink short skirt seemed to be ignited; she could feel the astonishing heat from his palms even through the fabric.
"Yah... Big Brother Hakuya... your hands... so hot..."
Dawn blushed but did not break free. Instead, she clung to his body tighter like a clingy kitten. Due to this hugging posture, her long legs were forced to part, clamping tightly around Hakuya's waist. Her slender feet, wrapped in black silky short socks, moved restlessly behind him, occasionally brushing past his back, bringing a burst of itching numbness.
Hakuya naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity delivered to his door. His fingers supporting the girl's buttocks tightened slightly, pushing upward with a little force, making the heart of her legs fit more tightly and seamlessly against his lower abdomen. Through that layer of thin fabric, he could clearly feel the wet heat and softness coming from there, as if a budding flower bud was shyly revealing its fragrance.
"Uuu... there... don't push..."
Dawn let out a delicate pant as quiet as a mosquito, water mist filling her azure beautiful eyes. This sense of taboo of being so intimately touched by the object of her affection in broad daylight (although only Piplup and Jenny were present) made her maiden heart both ashamed and excited. Between her legs, a trace of crystal-clear love fluid secreted uncontrollably, quietly wetting her pure white panties.
Although separated by a not-thin cherry-pink skirt, the warm, soft, snowy touch could still be clearly felt, making the blue-haired girl even shier. She couldn't help but let out a whimper that only the two of them could hear.
Lively girls were like this; hugging excitedly, they suddenly realized they had given the farm owner a huge benefit.
However, Dawn shrank into Hakuya's arms subconsciously, actually liking this feeling very much.
"Cooo-eee~"
"Good job, Articuno."
After a while, putting down Dawn, who was hanging on him with blushing cheeks, Hakuya turned to look at the ice-blue figure landing on the ground, praising her.
Although she hadn't entered her humanized state, Articuno still possessed a clear, elegant beauty.
"Cooo-eee~"
Articuno rubbed her head gently against her Trainer, seemingly liking the way they fought side by side just now.
And Hakuya, stroking her holy, frost-like feathers, was also reminiscing about the battle.
If they didn't happen to have the Icicle Plate, they might really have had to retreat from the Hiyori Forest in disgrace today.
But under the boost of a 200% increase in Ice-type move power, Articuno, already a Minor Legendary, exerted unprecedented pressure, annihilating the menacing beast tide in an instant.
However... Hakuya looked at the Icicle Plate, which had dimmed again.
When he first met Articuno, she went berserk because she absorbed the Ice-type energy from it.
But today, using him as a medium, Articuno didn't lose her rationality to the powerful force after it ended; instead, she returned to her usual appearance.
Thinking of this, Hakuya frowned secretly, a bit confused.
Was this an ability brought by his cheat, or the favor of the Creator Arceus?
Just as he was thinking, a low dragon roar suddenly came from the sky.
Hakuya looked up and saw a Dragonite flapping its small wings, flying towards them at super high speed, stirring up quite a gale.
Mmm... Lance?
Looking at the red-haired youth in a cape leaping down from Dragonite's back, Hakuya recognized him at a glance.
Dragon Master, the Kanto Dragon-type Elite Four, and the Johto Champion. Like Senior Sister Cynthia, Lance's combat power also belonged to the ceiling of Trainers in the Pokémon world.
Of course, for Hakuya, another title seemed more affectionate—"Dodo Bird" (a nickname playing on his flying-type team).
Superficially a Dragon-type Elite Four, but his team of six Pokémon was stuffed with Flying-types like Charizard, Gyarados, and Aerodactyl. Plus, the remaining three Dragonites were naturally Flying-type, so he was often teased by people as the "Flying-type Elite Four."
"Investigator Lance, the poaching gang has been completely captured by us, and the rioting beast tide has also been resolved."
Seeing Lance's arrival, Officer Jenny reported the situation truthfully.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Lance nodded, then turned his gaze to the tightly bound Hunter J and her accomplices.
He should have been stationed in the Kanto region, but receiving notification from League headquarters while staying in the Sinnoh region for official business recently, he rushed here with Dragonite as the League's Chief Investigator.
"Roar~"
Dragonite leaned towards the rope-bound group with an honest face, tilting its head.
The lackeys in gray-black hunter uniforms lay on the ground in twos and threes, looking ashen.
And the previously arrogant poaching group leader was even more miserable, still unconscious with a bruised and swollen face.
For these hunters who stole other people's Pokémon, being caught meant facing severe prison sentences; their lives had reached a dead end.
After confirming the number of people was correct, Lance nodded with satisfaction, then took out his communicator to report this operation to the League.
"Hello, I am Lance. You must be Farm Owner Hakuya, right?"
Hanging up the phone, he walked straight to the black-haired youth standing aside, asking gently.
"Yes, Mr. Lance."
Hakuya nodded lightly.
This was his second encounter with a Champion in the Pokémon world besides Cynthia.
"Roar~"
Dragonite extended a small claw, gently pushing its Trainer's shoulder.
"Old partner, you noticed it too?"
Feeling Dragonite's movement, Lance also spoke softly with a serious face.
Just by a Champion's intuition, he could clearly perceive that the strength of the Gardevoir guarding Hakuya far exceeded his Dragonite. Turning his gaze slightly, the Milotic and Mienshao on the other side were equally remarkable.
Not to mention the Articuno who annihilated the beast tide with a single [Blizzard] just now.
"I've heard about it. You helped a lot in this operation to capture the poaching group. I express sincere gratitude to you on behalf of the League."
Looking at the young black-haired man before him, Lance instantly felt a desire to recruit talent and continued, "Hakuya, are you interested in learning about the work of League Headquarters?"
"League Headquarters?"
Hakuya hummed in confusion; he seemed to have heard of this somewhere.
Seeing this, Officer Jenny beside him also interjected to explain.
"League Headquarters is an organization where the League gathers powerful Trainers from various regions. It includes League Investigators, Gym Inspectors, and Logistics Commanders."
"Exactly." Lance nodded. "I am the League's Chief Investigator affiliated with League Headquarters. My usual tasks involve traveling to major regions to investigate special phenomena, assisting local Jennys in arresting heinous criminals, and tracking down and striking at major evil organizations."
Holding the idea of pulling Hakuya into the group, he immediately began introducing basic information about other positions.
"Gym Inspectors generally monitor the status of regional Gyms in real-time and visit Gyms every two years to assess the Gym Leaders' abilities, ensuring all Gyms operate well."
"As for Logistics Commanders, their work is more miscellaneous. They are generally responsible for taking over major League events, such as the Lily of the Valley Conference held every year in the Sinnoh region, and so on."
"How about it?" Looking at the contemplative Hakuya, Lance asked with slight expectation, "Interested in joining us?"
"With my ability and connections, I can guarantee that you don't need to pass any relevant assessments to become a League Investigator... Of course, if you are interested in the other two jobs, that's no problem either."
However, what neither Lance nor Jenny expected was that after thinking for a long time, Hakuya just shook his head faintly.
"Forget it. I inherited the farm left by my grandfather; I really don't have the time."
