So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 284 Don't Reject Senior Nemo

Chapter 284 Don't Reject Senior Nemo

"You must be Wei Xin!" Nemo recognized Wei Xin at a glance, grabbed his shoulders, and looked at him with burning eyes.

Although Nemo's stamina wasn't very good, her arm strength was surprisingly great.

Wei Xin's shoulder ached from being pinched.

In a daze, Wei Xin saw those burning eyes filled with scarlet blood, and a gaping mouth full of sharp teeth, as if it wanted to devour him completely.

With Ma Liang backing him up, Wei Xin had no way to escape and had no choice but to admit his identity.

"it's me."

"I heard you're the strongest student at Magic University?" Nemo confirmed.

"No, I'm just an ordinary freshman," Wei Xin said frankly.

"You're so funny," Nemo chuckled. If an ordinary student could beat Du Ruo, there would be so many ordinary students in Donghuang that they would dominate all the leagues long ago. "I heard from other students that they all admit you are the strongest in Magic University, right?"

"Actually, there's another trainer at Magic University who's even stronger than me."

Wei Xin refers to Cynthia.

She is the one everyone hopes for.

"I see. So, you admit you're the second strongest trainer at the Magic University?"

Wei Xin was stunned; Senior Nemo actually knew how to trick people into revealing information.

That's despicable.

Seeing that Wei Xin didn't speak, Nimo took it as Wei Xin's tacit acceptance of his status as the second-best student at Magic University.

"You should be free now, how about a match with me? Right here! Or anywhere else."

Seeing that Nemo hadn't come to see him, Ma Liang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling a strange sense of loss.

Wei Xin pulled out his research center employee badge: "Actually, I'm a scholar, and I also come here to help the research center with experiments."

"But you just told me you were free," Nemo blinked, looking completely innocent.

It's shameful for a senior to act cute!

"When did I say that?" Wei Xin reviewed the previous conversations and was certain that he had not said it.

You'd actually lie just to win a fight? Wei Xin rolled his eyes. Hajime, you bastard.

Unexpectedly, Nemo pulled out the evidence directly from her pocket.

A mobile phone, the phone case is from the Godfather of Mastiffs.

There are two paragraphs of text on the phone screen.

"Wei Xin, are you free? Can I come see you?"

"Okay, let's go straight to the research center."

The note says he was the savior of the Mastiff Godfather.

These are his chat logs with Piper.

Senior Nemo revealed a smug, mischievous smile.

You thought you were talking to Pipa? Actually, it's me, Nemo!

Wei Xin was dumbfounded. To compete against him, she even resorted to online deception. How could Senior Sister Nemo be so wicked!

"What did you do to Pipa?" Wei Xin had a bad feeling.

Could it be that the senior beat Pipa to her knees, and then—

"Don't worry, he's fine—" Before Nemo could finish speaking, the research center doors opened again.

A burly young man struggled into the research institute; it was Piper, his two legs tightly held by two bodyguards in black suits.

"Wei Xin, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop Nemo!"

Piper sincerely apologized to Wei Xin. Although he had anticipated Nemo's obsession with Wei Xin, he did not expect that Nemo would go to such lengths to challenge Wei Xin, even resorting to poisoning her old classmate.

"Wei Xin, you and Pipa must have a good relationship, right? If you can beat me, I'll have my bodyguards release Pipa," Nemo said sinisterly.

The onlookers were dumbfounded; this was a classic hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress plot.

And aren't you guys getting your identities mixed up? In terms of looks, it's Wei Xin who should be the one being saved, right?

Nemo was just joking, of course. She did want to fight Wei Xin, but that didn't mean she would do anything illegal.

Piper was Wei Xin's good friend and classmate.

How could she possibly hurt her old classmate?

A little sacrifice is necessary to achieve one's goals.

Anyway, after the Mastiff Godfather recovered from his illness, Pipa's temper became even better than before.

Wei Xin pursed his lips, but ultimately sighed helplessly. He and Paipa had gone through dungeons together, so it was impossible for him to say, "You captured him, so what right do you have to threaten me?"

This stupid monkey of mine is destined to be trapped under my senior's thumb; I have no choice but to wear this golden headband.

Having no other choice, he accepted Nemo's challenge.

"A 1v1 singles duel, one game to decide the winner, how about it?"

"Okay." Although Nemo felt regretful that she couldn't know Wei Xin's full strength, she still understood the principle of not pushing her luck.

Anyway, she will stay in Donghuang until the end of the Donghuang Tournament. If Wei Xin is strong enough, they can have a long-term relationship.

"You can use the ace from your championship team," Wei Xin reminded him, although Babu Tubo's ability to use Electric Double Strike indicated that his level was not low.

They might even have reached the level of an average champion.

But the opportunity was rare, and he was quite curious whether Gardevoir had the strength to rival the champion.

"Actually, my ace right now is Babuto. I've challenged all the gyms in Donghuang with him, and we have the best teamwork. If it were an old partner, there would be a lack of coordination, and things might not go as planned."

To be fair, Wei Xin also revealed his Pokémon: "I plan to use Gardevoir in a bit."

Then Nemo pulled a badge box out of her clothes, and when she opened it, there were a full seventeen badges inside, far exceeding the entry requirements for the Eastern Empire Tournament.

"You're planning to participate in this year's Eastern Empire Tournament? Champion-level trainers can participate in the tournament?" she asked in surprise.

The Anti-Fish-Bombing Association needs help!

"Of course, the conditions for the Eastern Tournament are lenient. As long as the Pokémon participating in the competition, apart from the ace Pokémon leading the team, are all trained by the participants after they entered the Eastern Tournament, that's fine."

That being said, few regional champions would actively seek the title of champion in other regions.

Nemo was the same; she had no desire for fame, wealth, or status.

"This is a great opportunity to spar with trainers from the Eastern Region and other regions."

She simply wanted to spar with other trainers. With tens of thousands of trainers, Nemo couldn't even imagine how many people she would have to battle in a single day.

"But this year's Donghuang Race is a long-distance cross-country race, your stamina—"

Putting aside the dangers of the wilderness, Wei Xin was very worried that Nemo might die of exhaustion halfway there due to her weak physical condition, just considering the distance from the starting point to Shanghai.

"It's okay, just buy a motorcycle lizard for transportation. I heard that there are places in Shanghai that sell motorcycle lizards, so I came here specifically to spar with the students from Shanghai University."

"Motor Lizard?" Wei Xin remembered that he had previously asked Lillie to buy the Motor Lizards that the Alliance could not deal with because the shared Motor Lizard plan had failed.

Judging by the timing, it's time to prepare to make a big profit when the news of the Eastern Glory Conference is released.

"Wei Xin, are you really going to fight Nemo?" On the way to the arena, Pipa whispered in Wei Xin's ear, "I'm not doubting your strength, but in fact, if you lose, it'll be fine, but if you win and she sees you as a formidable opponent, she might keep bothering you."

Now that we've covered the advantages, what about the disadvantages?

"Just consider it making friends," Wei Xin said nonchalantly. Anyway, even if he and Nemo played team battles, it would only be once a day at most.

You can also help your Pokémon gain battle experience along the way.

Aside from the legendary Pokémon at home, only Gardevoir, Sylveon, Brimwyn, Mimikyu, Diancie, Greatsmith, Milotic, and Milotic in his team have enough strength to participate in high-level battles.

While Fairy-type Pokémon are strong, they also have weaknesses. If they make up too many of the Fairy type, they are easily targeted. To be on the safe side, other Pokémon are needed to supplement the strategy and to counter different teams and environments.

"Speaking of which, Pipa, are you free these days?" Wei Xin asked.

"Didn't you just come back from western Hunan? Planning another adventure?" Pipa asked疑惑地. "Where to this time?"

You actually knew I was going to Xiangxi? Wei Xin didn't spread the news of his trip to Xiangxi, which means that Pai Pa had taken the initiative to follow up on the news.

He actually cares so much about his friend, I'm so moved, I could cry.

"Yes, I plan to visit the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor."

"Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum—" Papa rolled his eyes, feeling as if he had heard about it somewhere before.

"Wait for me a moment."

I took out my phone and started looking through my browsing history.

To avoid seeing Pipa's little secret, Wei Xin consciously looked away and turned his head, only to find Nemo looking at him curiously.

"Did you just mention adventure?"

Are you interested?

"There is one thing, actually, besides battling, my hobbies also include treasure hunting in the wild."

Wei Xin was slightly taken aback. He carefully examined Senior Nemo's body and thought to himself, "With your stamina, you're still going out to search for treasure? I'm afraid you can't even lift a shovel."

As if sensing Wei Xin's thoughts, Nemo puffed out her chest, showing Wei Xin the realistic physics engine: "Although my physical strength is indeed not good, as long as I have passion, mere physical functions cannot bind me."

Forget about being tired, watch me get through it with sheer willpower!

Wei Xin thought about it and found it reasonable. Pokémon battles are extremely physically and mentally taxing for trainers, but Nemo enjoys them immensely. Perhaps this is the effect of passion and dopamine.

"So if you need someone, could you take me with you?" Nemo asked curiously.

"I need to ask my other companion, but I don't think she'll mind."

"You've made up your mind—"

"Ah, I found it!" The moment Wei Xin added Nemo to the four-person team, Pipa found a message on her phone that she had accidentally seen yesterday but hadn't clicked on. "Wei Xin, look at this."

Wei Xin shifted his gaze and saw the headline of the message.

He couldn't control himself and started cursing.
