Chapter 56: Night Raid, Aggron!

Looking at the two Gardevoir now evolved into their complete forms, one can only say that as twin sisters, not only are their levels and types identical, but even their evolution happened simultaneously!

However, what did it mean for the two of them to link their arms through his left and right sides right now?

Feeling the sensations coming from both of his arms, Zhang Feng was somewhat puzzled in his heart!

Surely they couldn't be jealous of Nurse Joy, could they?

Faced with the commotion that had taken place in the Pokémon Center, Officer Jenny, Gym Leader Norman, and others hurried over swiftly!

Seeing that it was Zhang Feng who had resolved Team Rocket's conspiracy and rescued Nurse Joy, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief!

Moreover, regarding those who had previously released Team Rocket's Cassidy and Butch, both Petalburg City's Officer Jenny and Gym Leader Norman stated that they would investigate and hold them accountable!

Once Officer Jenny departed, Gym Leader Norman could not help but speak to Zhang Feng.

"Zhang Feng, after our previous battle, my Slaking successfully stepped into the Elite tier, and my Snorlax also successfully entered the Elite level. I truly have to thank you for this!"

"Perhaps, I really can swiftly step into the Master tier level!"

Faced with Mr. Norman's gratitude, Zhang Feng also smiled and said.

"Then I offer my congratulations to Mr. Norman. Hopefully, in the future, I will hear the news of a replacement among the Hoenn Elite Four. A Normal-type Elite is quite rare, after all!"

Hearing Zhang Feng's encouragement, Norman also revealed a smile.

At this moment, it almost seemed as though Zhang Feng was the senior mentor, while Norman was just a trainer who had debuted not long ago!

Having resolved the trouble in Petalburg City, Zhang Feng still stayed in the luxury suite on the top floor of the Pokémon Center that night.

This seemed to be within Nurse Joy's authority; because he had saved her, she gave Zhang Feng a special card. With this card, one could receive top-tier treatment at Pokémon Centers everywhere.

"Zhang Feng, this is a token of gratitude from our Joy family. I hope you will not decline it, and thank you for saving me!"

Faced with Nurse Joy's thanks, Zhang Feng had originally wanted to say that she had already helped him quite a bit—after all, a purple-potential Feebas was truly a rare find!

Yet, upon second thought, saving someone's life was a debt of gratitude, so a token of appreciation seemed quite reasonable, didn't it?

That night, just as Zhang Feng was preparing to fall asleep, the door suddenly swung open. Nurse Joy, wearing white silk stockings and a Pokémon nurse uniform, walked straight into Zhang Feng's room!

Without any hesitation, Nurse Joy slipped directly under Zhang Feng's covers and hugged him tightly!

"Are you... leaving Petalburg City tomorrow?"

Suddenly being embraced, Zhang Feng's body stiffened for a moment. When has a fine, upright young man ever experienced anything like this?

Thus, he could only softly emit a sound of affirmation.

The next moment, Zhang Feng felt his mouth blocked by something!

"Tonight, stay with me properly!"

"Ding-dong, detected that the host is facing a choice. The options are released as follows:"

"Option One: Become a couple with Nurse Joy. Nurse Joy's affection increases, and obtain one Aggronite!"

"Option Two: Reject Nurse Joy. Nurse Joy's affection drops to zero, and obtain an Everstone!"

Seeing these two choices, Zhang Feng was momentarily stunned!

However, feeling the warmth in his embrace, Zhang Feng immediately let his impulses take over and chose Option One. After all, with a soft beauty in one's arms, who could remain completely unmoved?

...

The next day, when Zhang Feng woke up, Nurse Joy was already nowhere to be found, but the events of the previous night kept repeating in his mind!

"I actually got ambushed by Nurse Joy last night!"

However, it seemed Zhang Feng hadn't lost out either.

The youth experiencing love for the first time quickly regained his composure, then headed downstairs. Upon seeing Nurse Joy, both of their faces flushed red simultaneously!

Consequently, Zhang Feng temporarily remained in Petalburg City!

Anyway, there was still time before the opening of the Hoenn League Ever Grande Conference, so staying in Petalburg City for a while longer was entirely fine!

Over the next few days, Zhang Feng and Nurse Joy officially established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

One must realize that even Gary, when he first started out on his journey through the Kanto region, traveled with a luxury sports car and five or six pretty girlfriends!

This demonstrated that in this world, family background and strength could also secure more rewards. In other words, having multiple romantic partners didn't seem to be a problem at all?

...

Although it was with much reluctance, after staying in Petalburg City for five days, Zhang Feng still departed!

However, Zhang Feng's hometown was Oldale Town, which was just a short distance from Petalburg City. There would be plenty of time to reunite in the future, so there was no need to rush for the moment!

Leaving Petalburg City, Zhang Feng headed straight toward Fortree City!

Along the way, in order to get Lairon to evolve, Zhang Feng had it participate in battles whenever he encountered opponents!

As a Shiny Pokémon, the completely golden Lairon drew the envy and jealousy of many the moment it appeared!

Yet, because Zhang Feng's strength was formidable, no one dared to make a move against him!

Now, facing a challenger encountered along the road, Zhang Feng finally met a decent opponent!

This was a Hiker uncle, whose partner was a fairly powerful Onix at level thirty-nine, right at the peak of the Elite tier!

Defeating it might just allow Lairon to evolve into Aggron!

Thinking of this, Zhang Feng naturally would not refuse the Hiker's challenge!

As the battle commenced, the Hiker's Onix immediately deployed the Rock Slide move!

"Lairon, use Metal Claw and smash all the incoming rocks to pieces!"

Steel-type moves inherently possess a type advantage against Rock-type attributes!

Therefore, when Lairon unleashed Metal Claw, Onix's attacks were shattered one after another!

Seizing this opportunity, the advancing Lairon maintained its momentum, brandished its Metal Claw, and slammed directly into Onix's massive body!

Overwhelmed by the pain, Onix instantly collapsed!

"Lairon, once more, Flash Cannon!"

"Onix, use Dig!"

Perhaps because Onix was injured, the speed of its Dig slowed down considerably!

Consequently, Lairon's attack arrived first. Confronted with Lairon's beam of energy, Onix could no longer hold on!

Within the half-formed tunnel of Dig, it lost its ability to battle!

"Ding-dong, Lairon defeated Onix, gained four hundred experience points, level increased, current level is Lv.43!"

Following the system's prompt, the newly victorious Lairon began to evolve!

Gazing at this dazzling light of evolution, the Hiker could not help but reveal an expression of shock!

"You... you really are strong!"

As Lairon's body began to grow colossal, a golden-hued Aggron, radiating an aura of supreme strength, made its grand debut!

Upon examining Aggron's attribute panel, Zhang Feng was immediately overjoyed!

Because it possessed red potential as well!
