"W-Wait a minute~"
"So Master just wanted this concubine to clean the bowls and chopsticks on the table... n-not that..."
After a while, the silver-haired noble lady, who had completely swallowed the essence, froze. Her jade face, already stained with the colors of spring, blushed even more intensely.
As she subconsciously opened her mouth slightly, a few drops of fluid were still faintly visible on her full, wet, soft lips, appearing extremely erotic and tempting.
"That's right; you just thought wrong."
Hakuya adjusted his pants, shaking his head with great helplessness.
He originally thought she was a mature, gentle, knowledgeable, and mysterious noble lady, but he didn't expect her to be a pervert with a mind full of lewd thoughts, actually wanting to make a move on the male master so quickly.
Thinking this, he rubbed the head of the dazed silver-haired noble lady.
"I have to go out on a long trip this afternoon; I'll trouble you to watch the house for now."
"Mmm... this concubine understands~"
Watching the farm owner's figure gradually moving away, Cogita felt the residual breath by her mouth and went limp on the ground.
Doomed, I must have been regarded by Master as a lewd and slutty maid—
On the other side, Hakuya, having pushed the door open, planned to rush to Snowpoint City according to the original plan.
"Articuno, I'll trouble you."
"Cooo-eee~"
Accompanied by a clear cry resounding through the clouds, the legendary bird Pokémon spread her ice-blue wings, carrying her Trainer soaring among the clouds.
Compared to taking the Pokémon train, flying on a Flying-type Pokémon was obviously much faster.
Feeling the refreshing wind blowing towards him, Hakuya couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
However, the League had issued a regulation a few years ago. Unless under special circumstances, anyone flying over towns at low altitudes on large bird Pokémon needed to report to the local Jenny police station in advance. Otherwise, once discovered, they would face fines ranging from thousands of League Coins.
Thinking of this, after crossing the towering and continuous Mount Coronet and clearly seeing the rows of houses not far below, Hakuya recalled Articuno and chose to enter Snowpoint City on foot.

"Sneasel~"
Sneasel, popping out of the Poké Ball, clutched the Trainer's hem, looking curiously at the surrounding environment.
"We have to find the Snowpoint City Gym. The style should be a round venue printed with a huge Poké Ball."
Patting the little guy's head, Hakuya also cast his gaze into the town before him.
Compared to Hearthome City in the west, there was no feeling of a modern metropolis here at all. Spruce-framed pointed-roof cottages were scattered on both sides of the main road, just like a Nordic town in his previous life.
Probably due to being located at the northernmost tip of the Sinnoh region, fine snow drifted down from the peak of Mount Coronet, coating this slightly desolate Snowpoint City with a layer of holy white.
"Sneasel~"
"Sneasel, what's wrong?"
While still looking for the specific location of the Gym, Hakuya suddenly felt the hem of his top being tugged.
Following the little guy's gaze, a figure with a high ponytail came into view—that girl was squatting on the ground not far away, seeming to be feeding Pokémon food to a wild Teddiursa.
Meanwhile, another soft and chubby figure slipped behind the female Trainer. Extending a sinful little claw lightly, it unzipped the backpack she carried on her back.
"Gang crime, huh?" "Sneasel~"
Witnessing the whole process, Hakuya nodded in realization.
Relying on their cute appearance to deceive strange Trainers first, then taking advantage of their paralysis and carelessness to let companions commit theft.
Ordinary people or Pokémon would probably fall for these Teddiursa's tricks, but relying on the intuition of a top pickpocket, his little Sneasel seemed to have predicted their movements in advance and called the Trainer over.
"Sneasel, use Ice Shard."
Just as the Teddiursa stole a black box, the Ice Shard, wrapped in biting cold wind, caught it off guard.
"Roar~"
Feeling its palm instantly frozen, the Teddiursa responsible for theft subconsciously cried out.
"Eh, what's wrong?"
Still petting the smooth fur of the Teddiursa before her, the girl, hearing the commotion, turned her head subconsciously, only to see her backpack zipper was actually unzipped.
"W-Wait a minute, my Badge Case!"
Amidst the high-ponytail girl's panicked shout, seeing the plot exposed, the wild Teddiursa ignored the Pokémon food placed on the ground and fled in all directions.
"Good job, Sneasel."
Catching the iron box from the air, Hakuya smiled and patted the little guy who had performed a great service.
Awed by Sneasel's Ice Shard move, the two Teddiursa dropped the stolen goods and began to flee in panic.
Before they decided whether to chase, those two soft and chubby figures disappeared into the streets and alleys.
"Sneasel~"
Hearing the Trainer's praise, little Sneasel raised her head proudly, looking over with expectation.
"I know, come to my room tonight and I'll reward you properly~"
Even without Miss Gardevoir's psychic translation, Hakuya knew the little guy's thoughts at this moment, patting her head somewhat helplessly.
The Pokémon girls in the wooden cabin had their own unique personalities. There were gentle and charming ones like Milotic, cold-outside-hot-inside ones like Houndoom, and perverted ones like Sneasel—probably due to the ruthless "teaching" experience last time, this little guy actually fell in love with the feeling of being spanked by the farm owner.
It could only be said that like the pervert Gardevoir, she was hopeless.
Just as Sneasel raised her head, preparing to haggle with the farm owner about how long she would be "taught" tonight, the female Trainer carrying the Pokémon backpack, whose item was stolen by the Teddiursa pickpockets, ran over.
"Phew... thank you very much for your reminder and help..."
"It's okay; just a small effort. Remember to be careful next time."
Seeing her anxious appearance, panting and holding her knees because she ran too fast, Hakuya handed the box back.
At this moment, the girl's appearance was fully revealed before him.
An iconic Trainer cap was buckled on top of her head. Soft chestnut long hair was tied into a high ponytail style, falling from the crescent gap at the back of the cap, giving a refreshing and neat feeling.
A fitted white tank top served as the inner layer, and a sleeveless black vest lightly wrapped her tall, delicate, charming body.
Her full snowy breasts rose high, seemingly due to running, shaking out waves of soul-stirring voluptuous meat—erotic but without any exposure.
The most eye-catching feature was naturally those slender jade legs wrapped in denim shorts.
Even without wearing pure white stockings or sexy black stockings, relying solely on the delicate, slender leg shape and smooth, snowy-moist leg flesh, she was enough to surpass the external decorations of the former two.
Whether it was the hairstyle or the outfit, it gave Hakuya an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
And this high-ponytail chestnut-haired girl took the box and thanked him for a long time, finally remembering she hadn't introduced herself yet.
"R-Right, my name is Hilda, from the Unova region."
Taking off the Trainer cap gently, she raised the completely liberated high ponytail. Her azure beautiful eyes flowed with charm, appearing exceptionally soft and moving.
"My name is Hakuya, a farm owner nearby. Nice to meet you."
Hearing this, Hakuya nodded secretly, understanding in his heart.
In the Pokémon game series of his previous life, the fifth generation was divided into sequels according to the timeline.
The female protagonist of the sequel was Rosa, while the female protagonist of the prequel was Hilda before him.
"Farm owner? So that's it... However, I still have to thank you again, Mr. Hakuya. If the Badge Case was stolen by Teddiursa, my and my Pokémon's efforts these days would have been in vain..."
Saying this, the chestnut-haired high-ponytail girl bowed to thank Hakuya again.
For a Battle Trainer, Badges were undoubtedly very important items.
Only after collecting eight Badges did one qualify to enter the Regional League.
Crossing the sea from Unova with the goal of participating in the Lily of the Valley Conference, Hilda had been traveling around Sinnoh challenging Gyms.
So far, she had collected four Badges.
Probably due to the material, these Badges placed in the box appeared sparkling under the sunlight, so they were targeted by that group of Teddiursa pickpockets.
Without the reminder and help of Hakuya and Sneasel, Hilda, having lost her Badge Case, would have had to start all over again.
On the side, watching the high-ponytail girl rummaging through her backpack, preparing to take out large stacks of League Coins, Hakuya couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
"Although Badges are indeed important, there's no need to be so exaggerated... If you insist on thanking me, just treat us to dinner later when you have time."
"Sneasel~"
Little Sneasel nodded timely beside him.
"..."
Hearing this proposal, Hilda's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands.
"Okay, then it's a deal!"
Unlike Rosa, who also belonged to the Unova region, this chestnut-haired girl with a high ponytail was taller and had a personality leaning towards straightforwardness and frankness. Getting along with her felt like sincere flames, involuntarily making one feel favorable towards her.
"Then... then after I finish challenging the Snowpoint Gym, I'll come find you, Mr. Hakuya?"
Hilda pondered for a moment, then opened her cherry lips and said.
Her purpose in coming to Snowpoint City was to challenge the Gym and win her fifth Badge.
Calculating the reservation and challenge time, estimating until the battle ended, it should be getting late, just right to have dinner together.
However, wondering what she thought of, she looked at the black-haired youth before her, suddenly blushing.
Although she always had a straightforward personality, eating with a strange man like this was something that had never happened before.
If it were someone else, even if they also helped her get back the Badge Case, although she would be grateful, she would at most give more money and wouldn't agree to eat together so intimately.
Why did I agree so quickly today, as if possessed...
Just as Hilda felt her heartbeat accelerating inexplicably, Hakuya's next words made her widen her beautiful eyes involuntarily.
"It's okay. I happen to have business with the Gym Leader of Snowpoint Gym too."
"If you really want to treat, we can arrange it anytime."
"Eh?!"
