"Ah…" Blue's cherry-red lips parted slightly. Her heart tightened without reason.
Seeing Ace's small body, clothes torn apart in the smoke and moonlight, while Team Rocket Grunts drew closer with their searchlights, she bit her lip, hesitated, then threw out a Poké Ball.
Her body twisted, and in an instant she blended perfectly into the surroundings, crouching and concealing herself.
At a distance, the cloaked woman lowered her hand.
That Psychic blast just now was hers.
However—
"Heh… I didn't expect Team Rocket to be out here tonight."
A short figure strolled out of the smoke.
Ace's clothes were barely hanging on, his under-1.6-meter body looked youthful, but the slight smile on his face remained completely fearless.
And the woman ahead of him?
She was also exactly his type.
Team Rocket Executive.
Saffron City Gym Leader.
The Psychic Queen herself—
Sabrina.
"Executive! It's just a kid!" a Grunt reported.
"You don't need to tell me. I can see," Sabrina's red eyes narrowed slightly.
She sensed something—an unusually strong mental wavelength radiating from the boy, eerily close to the power she'd been tracking.
That was why she attacked instantly.
But clearly… she'd misjudged.
Ace stood opposite her, and without showing it, he pulled up his system panel and dumped every point he'd earned from Blue into his stats.
If anyone knew how dangerous Sabrina was, it was him.
This was a woman who could fight Gym-grade Pokémon using only her own Psychic powers.
She could conjure illusions as real as reality—
And in the anime, she literally turned humans into dolls.
No way was Ace going to be careless.
He went all-in.
[Ding, spent 1650 Pervert Points. Your physique has undergone a qualitative leap. Congratulations, you have become an even more Perverted version of yourself…]

———
Looking at his stats, Ace felt his confidence rise.
Level 30 counted as a lord-tier wild Pokémon.
He still couldn't fight Sabrina head-on, but surviving? Absolutely possible.
And this was Pallet Town.
If things escalated, Team Rocket would have to think twice.
Professor Oak wasn't the first Champion for nothing.
"Interesting…" Sabrina murmured.
She noticed Ace's aura suddenly spike.
"Capture him."
Her tone left no room for debate.
That was Sabrina's logic—
If she was interested in something, she took it.
Grunts surrounded Ace.
He grinned.
His feet tapped the ground—
His figure blurred—
And he shot forward like a black streak.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Ace's fists and feet smashed into the Grunts one after another.
They dropped before they even reached their Poké Balls, collapsing helplessly into the grass.
He rubbed under his nose. "You really think I'm a kid? I'm a legal Pervert who just turned eighteen."
[Ding, the Host displayed powerful physique and defeated a group of Team Rocket Grunts. Pervert Points +100!]
"Only 100?" Ace pouted.
Yeah… girls were still the fastest source of points.
Thinking that, he turned toward Sabrina.
Even through her cloak, her slender, well-shaped legs were obvious.
A long-legged beauty in black stockings and tight clothes? Sabrina's figure was lethal.
Ace gave a bright grin.
"Big Sister, your legs are really beautiful. Can I play with them?"
"Hm?" Sabrina's aura flickered.
Even the Grunts stopped screaming.
Bro.
BRO.
You're flirting with HER?
He continued, licking his lips, "No? Actually, your butt is nice too. You seem perfect for a sex position~ Like a puppy… all spread out…"
[Ding, the Host used continuous verbal attacks to flirt with Sabrina. Pervert Points +200!]
Ace's eyes lit up.
Sabrina wasn't just a beauty—
She was a walking Pervert Point ATM.
"Hmph. Seeking death." Sabrina flicked her fingers.
Ace's body was instantly seized by Psychic force—
And smashed into the ground.
BOOM—!!
A shockwave burst outward. Even the Grunts were blown back.
"Cough… hiss… Damn, that hurt…"
Ace staggered out of the dust cloud, new scratches marking his body.
But his advanced-tier physique meant the attack barely scratched him.
His clothes, however, were another story—
shredded from the impact.
"Uhh…" Ace looked down at himself, then smiled up brightly.
"Big Sister, you've already seen me naked… so you have to take responsibility~"
Sabrina paused.
She clearly noticed the… impressive natural gift he possessed.
But only for a moment.
Her hand waved sharply. "Get lost."
WHOOSH—
A blade-like Psychic strike sliced past his face.
A thin wound appeared on his cheek, blood dripping down slowly.
"…" Ace went still.
He finally realized—
that had been an actual brush with death.
Cold sweat soaked his back.
Good thing Sabrina didn't intend to kill him.
Otherwise he'd have been a corpse on the ground.
Damn it! Is this Pervert Aura even working?! he cursed internally.
Then it clicked.
It was working—
just not as strongly on high-level targets like Sabrina.
If it hadn't been working, she absolutely would've flattened him.
While Ace processed this, Sabrina was having her own silent crisis.
Who is this child?
Why do I feel no disgust toward him despite his outrageous behavior?
And… why can't I see his future?
Since she was young, Sabrina's Psychic powers gave her a unique ability—Future Sight.
That ability was what led her to choose Giovanni, Team Rocket's Boss, as the man she would follow.
Because in every future she saw—
Giovanni ruled the world.
Power. Recognition. Prestige.
Things her cold, isolated heart desired.
But now…
A boy appeared before her like a blank page.
A future she could not read.
And for the first time in years—
Curiosity stirred in her heart.
She continued watching him silently.
But Ace wasn't one to sit still.
Since he knew she had no killing intent, he had… other priorities.
He slowly stepped closer.
As he approached, he saw her clearly beneath the cloak.
A perfect, cold beauty—willow brows, cherry lips, high nose bridge, and those hypnotic red eyes.
His gaze lowered.
Her modest chest, slender waist, perfect hips, long legs wrapped in black stockings disappearing into boots—
Damn.
This was a jackpot.
