Just as Sabrina and Red were about to suffer complete social death—
A teary voice suddenly sounded:
"Wuuuu… As expected, Master prefers young companions like her, not a withered old beauty like me…"
Seeing Ninetales suddenly appear, Red 's eyes lit up like he had just seen a savior.
"Ninetales, quick! Help me get Gym Leader Sabrina out of here!"
Ninetales giggled.
"Of course, Master."
She grabbed Red 's clothes—
And before the crowd could surround them, they disappeared from the spot.
A perfect escape from a public disaster.
Inside a hotel room—
On a large bed, Sabrina looked at Red quietly.
"Gym Leader Red … can you get up now?"
Seeing Sabrina beneath him—face flushed, clothes slightly disheveled from struggling—
Red quickly turned his head away and reluctantly got up.
"Sorry about that, Gym Leader Sabrina."
"But even if I was pretending to be unconscious, you didn't have to bite me."
Hearing this—
Sabrina subconsciously licked her lips.
Then her expression changed drastically.
"Ahhh! That's disgusting!"
Red sat awkwardly at the edge of the bed.
At this moment, Ninetales finally couldn't hold on any longer. She lay across Red 's lap and said weakly:
"Master… that teleport just now consumed too much energy. I'm going to rest."
She casually picked a Poké Ball and entered it herself.
Out of respect, Red hadn't officially captured Ninetales.
Instead, he used his authority as a Gym Leader to slightly modify the Poké Ball—
Allowing her to enter and exit freely without restriction.
Sabrina, having recovered a bit of her psychic power, saw through Ninetales' transformation into a fox-ea Red girl.
She looked at Red with even more disdain.
"You actually let your Pokémon transform like that. You really are not a good person."
Red felt completely wronged.
"I didn't! I swear! Ninetales chose to look like that herself!"
But judging from Sabrina's expression—
He knew there was no way to explain it clearly.
"Once we leave this room, you are not allowed to mention anything that happened today. Especially… especially the part where I bit you…"
Her voice grew softer and softer.
Her face turned even redder..
"Just don't say anything. Otherwise, once my psychic power fully recovers—"
A banana in the room suddenly snapped into two pieces in her hand.
Red immediately felt a chill down his spine and nodded repeatedly.
Sabrina looked at the banana in her hand, hesitated—
Then peeled it and started eating.
After such an intense battle, she was already starving.
Since there were no chairs in the room, she had no choice but to sit on the bed beside Red .
Looking at Sabrina—now full of youthful charm—
Red couldn't help but ask:
"Gym Leader Sabrina, your current state is completely different from earlier."
Sabrina picked up an apple and replied:
"This is how I normally am."
"I just have too much psychic power. If my emotions fluctuate too much, it can go out of control."
"So I usually suppress my emotions."
"I see! Truly admirable, Gym Leader Sabrina."
Red casually threw in some praise.
But Sabrina clearly didn't care much.
"Stop calling me Gym Leader. Just call me Sabrina."
"Then… about what you promised…"
Even though Red had already obtained Beginner Psychic Power, who would嫌 having more resources?
Hearing this, Sabrina's face was full of reluctance.
But she still handed over the Psychic Secret Manual.
"Don't practice recklessly. If your two special abilities conflict, you might just explode."
Feeling the two energies in his mind barely coexisting, Red nodded seriously.
"Got it."
"And how exactly did you make Tyranitar evolve again?"
"By all logic, a Pseudo-Legendary like Tyranitar shouldn't have another evolution."
Red smiled.
"Trade secret. If you want to know, you'll have to exchange something valuable."
"Hmph. I'm not interested."
As a Psychic specialist, Sabrina had no interest in a Dark-type Pokémon like Tyranitar.
"But you should be careful."
"I may not care—but that doesn't mean others won't."
"Don't worry. I'm still a League Gym Leader. I won't go down that easily."
"League Gym Leader…?"
Sabrina shook her head, not saying anything further.
At that moment—
Both their phones rang at the same time.
They exchanged a glance and answered .
"Hello? Master, where did you go?"
"We…"
Just as Sabrina hesitated—
Red spoke loudly:
"I fainted from heatstroke earlier. Gym Leader Sabrina used Teleport to take me somewhere cooler to rest."
Sabrina quickly repeated the same explanation.
After hanging up, Red tried to leave with Sabrina—
But she immediately refused, her face full of resistance.
"Someone might have seen what happened earlier. How can we walk out of a hotel together now?!"
"…Fair point."
"Wait half an hour. Let me recover my psychic power first."
Red could only nod.
Half an hour later—
The cold, emotionless Sabrina returned to the Saffron Gym.
Looking at her disciples crying over her loss, she said coldly:
"Winning and losing are both part of battle."
"If anyone keeps crying, leave the Saffron Gym."
At the same time—
Red returned as if nothing had happened.
"Man, I'm exhausted. And Sabrina is really stingy—she just left me by the roadside."
Ash said carefree:
"It's fine as long as Master is okay!"
Gary, however, clearly sensed something was off—
But didn't press further.
Because he had something far more important to ask.
"Master… can Tyranitar really evolve again?"
As soon as Red appeared —
Reporters, trainers, and onlookers swarmed him.
"Gym Leader Red ! What can you say about Tyranitar evolving again?!"
"Can you show us that form again, please?!"
"Gym Leader Red ! Is Songzao Gym accepting disciples?!"
"Gym Leader Red —!"
At this moment—
Red had become the center of attention.
Meanwhile—
The news of Tyranitar's evolution began spreading across the world.
Inside a Team Rocket base—
A middle-aged man sat in a chair, stroking Persian under the chin as he listened to a report.
"Tyranitar can evolve again?"
"Interesting… very interesting."
In the Kalos Region, inside a research lab—
A researcher stared wide-eyed in excitement.
"Yes! Yes! My research was correct!"
"Fully evolved Pokémon can still evolve further!"
"Kanto Region… it looks like I have to make a trip."
As the entire world learned that Red of Songzao City had evolved a Tyranitar—
On a certain unknown island—
The true owner of that Tyranitar—
Red 's unreliable father—
Was leisurely fishing on vacation.
Completely unaware—
That his Pokémon had already attracted the attention of the entire world.
