Chapter 130: Tricked into the Ball!（100 Power stone）
As night fell, it was once again the highly anticipated party time.
Lorze was cornered by his wives and shoved onto the bed, where they took turns extracting every last drop of his "surplus value"~.
They had the time of their lives.
The orgy lasted for three full days. Three days later, they finally returned to the city.
The RV pulled up at the entrance of Lorze's research institute, marking the official end of their snow-mountain expedition.
During those three days, besides the constant sex, Lorze had successfully activated a spark of True Qi for Mother Xue and Xue Yi.
However, most of his energy had been spent helping Anna Lee strengthen her True Qi Mode.
Since Anna was a total "Muggle" (ordinary human), growing the Qi on her own would have taken an eternity without his help.
Mother Xue and Xue Yi, being natural Psychics, had much stronger mental energy. They could enter meditation easily and would grow much faster than Anna.
Even so, reaching the state of "Full-Body True Qi Armor" that Lorze envisioned was still going to be a monumental task for them.
Even with Lorze's unique mental power, he couldn't achieve a full-body coat yet; he could only focus on reinforcing specific zones.
He began to wonder: Can I use the 'Minor Orbit' logic from the cultivation novels of my past life?
Can I circulate a single stream of Qi through the body's meridians to reinforce the whole system at once?
Lorze figured it was worth a try. He was currently deep in "Immortal Cultivation Research."
Whether he could actually crack the code was unknown, but he was doing it for his wives.
As for himself, even without flashy tricks, he would reach full-body coverage eventually.
His mental energy was now highly synchronized with Kirlia's. They shared a single mind.
When Lorze entered Telepathic Resonance, his mental strength rivaled a high-tier Psychic Pokémon. How could a normal human compete with that?
Perhaps only someone like Goddess Xue Tong could stand a chance, but as Kirlia continued to grow, the gap would only widen.
With this monstrous mental power, Lorze's meditation efficiency was doubled.
Furthermore, he could now act as a "Storage Bank" for Kirlia's Abilities.
Since their minds were one, an Ability stored in his soul was effectively the same as being in hers.
This meant Lorze and Kirlia could technically hold different Abilities simultaneously.
For instance, he currently held Cute Charm, while Kirlia held Harvest. They didn't interfere with each other.
They could even perform a Skill Swap between themselves at any time.
If he ever took this into a tournament, Kirlia would be literally unbeatable within her tier. Guaranteed!
Even if Mega Mawile's paper strength surpassed hers, Kirlia would have a hundred ways to dismantle her. That was the power of tactical flexibility.
In short, after finishing the three-day marathon, Lorze set his sights on Pheromosa before they exited the vehicle.
"Pheromosa, we're home. I have an important matter to discuss with you." Lorze said with a devious glint in his eye.
Over the last three days, Pheromosa had lived like royalty, served hand and foot by the Pokémon housekeepers.
If she wanted Pokéblocks, the maids made them. If she wanted a new flavor, they experimented.
She had spent the entire time sprawled lazily on the sofa, playing on the phone for three days straight.
With her natural genius, she had mastered the device in record time. She was now a pro at scrolling videos and gaming.
Yes—she had taught herself how to play games. Specifically, a 5v5 Pokémon MOBA battle game.
Since Lorze's feed was full of anime, games, and tournament clips, those were the only recommendations she saw.
After watching a few hours of gameplay, she noticed Lorze had the same game installed and decided to try it.
A 5v5 MOBA is easy to learn. After a few days of observation, she mastered the controls and dove in.
And once she started, she didn't sleep for three days.
She wasn't just "good" now—she was better than Lorze ever was in his past life.
She was a Champion-rank creature; her reaction time was beyond human comprehension.
Her mechanics and map awareness were flawless. She crushed her lane every single game.
Unless her teammates were absolute trash, she carried every match. She was officially addicted.
You never truly know if the opponent who just styled on you is a human or a literal Ultra Beast...
"Phero? (What is it?)" Pheromosa looked at Lorze, having just finished a round. She was willing to listen to him for a second.
"I just wanted to ask if you were comfortable during these three days."
Lorze sat down beside her and unceremoniously put his arm around her slender waist.
Pheromosa just glanced at his hand and went back to her screen. She didn't seem to mind his rudeness anymore.
"Phero. (The housing is adequate. If there's nothing else, I'm starting the next match. Go away.)"
She tossed a Pokéblock into her mouth, her long antennae hovering over the "Start" button.
It was clear: Pheromosa was now no different from a primary schooler who just discovered mobile games. She was a total addict!
Lorze knew this was his opening. He moved in for the kill.
"Don't start yet. I have a proposal. First, I need my phone back, so I'm going to buy you two brand-new ones."
Pheromosa nodded in agreement. Two phones meant she could game on one and watch series on the other. That was a fair trade.
Lorze continued: "Also, you're an Ultra Beast. Walking around in the open is going to draw a lot of unwanted attention."
"I was wondering if you could stay inside a Poké Ball for a while? It would make traveling much easier."
Pheromosa snapped her head toward him. After all that talk, this was his goal?
She gave him a look as if he were a complete moron. "Phero? (Do you think I'm that easy to deceive?)"
"Don't misunderstand. I told you—Poké Balls have almost zero restraint on your kind."
"With your power, you could shatter the shell from the inside in a heartbeat. I'm not trying to 'capture' you."
"I'm literally just trying to make it easier to carry you around." Lorze explained quickly.
"Phero. (Still, no. Who knows what schemes you're plotting?)" She was extremely wary of being "caught."
"If you don't want to, I won't force you. But be prepared: the human world has many powerful warriors."
"If they detect your Ultra Aura, we won't be able to live together anymore."
"Phero? (Is that a threat?)"
"I'm just stating a fact. You know how much of a threat you are to humans. If you just hop in the ball, all that trouble disappears."
"And you can keep the ball yourself! I'll only hold it when we're actually moving."
"Don't you trust me a little bit? We're going to be living together for a long time. Trust is the foundation of our relationship."
Lorze took her hand and looked into her eyes with total "sincerity."
Pheromosa: "..."
Honestly, if anyone else tried this, she'd have kicked them through a wall by now.
But under the influence of Lorze's Telepathic Resonance, she couldn't find the energy to get angry. Her eyes remained bored and half-lidded.
Besides, his logic held up. If she held the ball, it was just a portable room.
Lorze would just be the porter carrying her room around. He was still the servant.
It didn't sound so bad...
"Phero. (If I detect a single act of presumption, I will leave immediately.)"
Pheromosa eventually agreed. Mostly because she wanted to start her next match and didn't want to waste time arguing.
"Rest assured. If I ever 'capture' you, I'll earn your respect through strength first." Lorze promised.
"Phero. (Keep dreaming. Accept your place as part of my collection~.)"
"Since you're so confident, how about another bet?"
"Phero. (I'm not betting! Just give me the ball. If you waste any more time, I'm changing my mind.)"
"Fine, fine~. Then, Lady Pheromosa, please step into your new suite."
Lorze saw she wasn't biting on the bet and gave up.
He pulled out a standard Poké Ball and tapped it gently against her body.
A beam of red light shot out, pulling her into the sphere.
The ball didn't even shake once before the "Click" of a successful capture echoed in the RV.
Lorze's lips curled into a triumphant smirk. She's in the ball.
Even though he promised she could keep it, the reality was that he now had the ability to recall her.
Once she grew accustomed to being carried around day after day, what was the difference between her and his other partners?
The only difference was that he couldn't give her orders yet. But that was fine.
Once her gaming addiction hit rock-bottom, he'd find ways to "convince" her to help him out.
Maybe for a legendary skin or a new device, you'll help me win a battle or two?~
Slowly but surely, he was going to make her his Pokémon!
