"gardevoir! (I'll see you off here. Viridian City is right over there. Oh, and if you want to go back, just use the token.)"
As dusk approached, a large green figure accompanied by two slightly smaller blue figures appeared at the forest's edge.
Gardevoir Aunt left Yu Feng and the others at the outskirts of Viridian Forest, pointed to the faintly outlined city ahead, gave a few instructions, and then vanished from the spot.
"So... you couldn't tell us the exact location?"
Yu Feng was about to stop his aunt to ask for the precise location of the forest, but it was clear that his speaking speed couldn't match the instantaneous Teleport.
"Kirlia. (Next time you want to ask that, ask earlier. You have Psychic abilities yourself, don't you know how fast it is?)"
Shiny Kirlia held its head in its hands, a bit helpless. This kind of thing should have been asked at home.
Now, it was eager to go back and certainly didn't want to linger for another moment.
"But more than that, I'm more curious about what she looks like now."
After complaining for a while about their decisive actions, Yu Feng pulled a love ball from his adhesive necklace. He was genuinely curious now what his mom and the others had taken her to do?
So mysterious, and he was told to open it only after arriving here. He was truly afraid it would be a big Astonish.
A flash of white light from the Poké Ball, and the body of Shiny Gardevoir appeared before them with a thud.
Why use 'thud'? Because Shiny Gardevoir's body proportions were truly exaggerated now.
Even just lying down, she was already almost as tall as Shiny Kirlia. That's right, almost as tall as Shiny Kirlia.
Such an exaggerated size; who knew how tall she'd be standing up.
"Kirlia. (They didn't go and make her a Alpha Pokémon, did they?)"
Shiny Kirlia gritted its teeth, looking at the Shiny Gardevoir lying before it, a head taller than itself. How enviable... bah, bah, how shameless.
Yu Feng slowly extended his consciousness into Shiny Gardevoir's mind, gradually taking control of this massive body.
Yu Feng felt as if he were currently in a warm ocean, his mental power like a mud ox entering the sea, unable to stir up even a ripple.
Yu Feng immediately realized that Shiny Gardevoir's body was currently much stronger than his own, which was why his mental power couldn't stir up a ripple.
The good news was that controlling this body only required his consciousness. The bad news was that he had actually been surpassed by himself (sad).
But similarly, he could also control the mental power of this body. After all, it was his own body, right?
It could even feed back into him. He could feel that if he were to do 'that' kind of thing, he could quickly catch up to Shiny Gardevoir's level.
But the problem was, no matter how you looked at it, it was himself. Doing 'that' kind of thing felt really strange.
Although he had said before that he would transform into a female to please his brothers, now... whoever came close would be gone.
"Gardevoir. (Want to try?)"
Shiny Gardevoir propped up its peaks and winked at Yu Feng.
!!!!?
Shiny Gardevoir's single sentence struck both of them speechless.
"Kirlia!? (Bro, I didn't realize you were into such perverted things?)"
Shiny Kirlia looked at its brother in shock. It hadn't expected its brother to be into such kinky stuff, wanting to try himself?
"Bullshit, I didn't say that. If I really wanted to, would I let you know?"
"Cough, cough..."
Yu Feng instinctively retorted, then suddenly realized what he had just said and quickly used a cough to cover his embarrassment.
Of course, it was already too late. Shiny Kirlia cautiously hugged itself and took a step back. It knew it was also naturally beautiful. What if its brother wanted to do something to it too? That would be too good... too terrifying.
"Gardevoir. (No, you did say it.)"
Shiny Gardevoir covered its mouth and giggled, its orange, gem-like eyes narrowing into a crescent moon, utterly adorable.
"Wait, I didn't say anything."
"Kirlia? (You said you didn't say anything? Then she is...?)"
At this point, both of them realized something was off. After all, this Shiny Gardevoir was clearly stirring up trouble. No matter how foolish his brother was, he wouldn't stir up his own trouble.
Then Shiny Gardevoir's behavior became a bit intriguing.
"Gardevoir? (You noticed? I thought it would take you a lot longer to realize.)"
Shiny Gardevoir raised its beautiful eyebrows, touching both of their heads with one hand.
"Kirlia? (Bro, did you withdraw your consciousness?)"
Shiny Kirlia impatiently shook off the giant hand on its head, looking at Yu Feng with some confusion. Had he withdrawn his consciousness?
"No, my perspective is still connected, and I can still perform the actions I want."
Yu Feng shook his head. Didn't he know whether he had withdrawn his consciousness or not? As he spoke, he controlled Shiny Gardevoir's body to touch its own head.
Besides, if his consciousness had been withdrawn, she would have long since lain down, not bouncing around like this.
"Kirlia? (Then this is...?)"
Shiny Kirlia was truly bewildered. If his consciousness hadn't been withdrawn, what was the situation with stirring up his own trouble?
"You want to explain, or should I?"
Yu Feng had now understood the whole story through the mental power left by his mom and the others, and he looked at Shiny Gardevoir with a wry smile.
"Gardevoir. (Since you put it that way, I'll do it.)"
"Gardevoir. (It's quite obvious, I am your brother, just the more feminine side.)"
Gardevoir smiled as it flicked Shiny Kirlia's small head, its tone as gentle as a mother's.
"Kirlia. (No, wait, I'm a bit confused. Let me sort this out.)"
"Kirlia. (You are my brother, and you are the feminine side of my brother.)"
Shiny Kirlia felt its brain wasn't quite keeping up. It rubbed its head, pointing at Yu Feng and then at the smiling Gardevoir on the other side.
Yu Feng nodded, confirming its thoughts. Heaven knew how his mom and the others had done it. Not only had her body become Alpha-sized, nearly five meters tall, but they had even managed to filter out a more feminine aspect from his past consciousness.
"Kirlia. (Then you'll have to have babies with other males in the future.)"
A strange thought suddenly popped into Shiny Kirlia's mind, and its gaze turned somewhat peculiar as it looked at its brother... or brothers?
"Get lost!"
"gardevoir! (Dream on!)"
Both of them spoke their thoughts in unison, which somewhat reassured Shiny Kirlia. Good, even though a feminine side had been split off, their orientation hadn't changed.
"Kirlia. (Then what happens when he withdraws his consciousness?)"
"I pass out, of course. Ultimately, it's still my own consciousness, it's just that now I don't have to do two things at once."
Yu Feng spread his hands. Ultimately, it was still him. If he withdrew his consciousness, he would faint.
"Boom!!!"
A huge explosion erupted in the distant city, interrupting their conversation. Thick black smoke rose from the city, and a few small black dots could vaguely be seen rapidly flying away from the city.
"Let's go, we'll go take a look. As for you, is it okay to go into the Poké Ball first?"
Seeing the black smoke, Yu Feng roughly knew what had happened. Before that, he consulted Shiny Gardevoir and returned her to the Poké Ball.
Shiny Gardevoir naturally agreed. After all, she also knew what had happened and how could she not go see? If her body wasn't so large and attention-grabbing, she would have personally gone to watch the excitement, though now she could only watch from inside the Poké Ball.
