So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 272 Du Ruo and Zi Yu

Chapter 272 Du Ruo and Zi Yu

Next to the central arena of the Magic University Gymnasium.

A student with purple-streaked toothpaste hair took a Pokémon that had restored his stamina from the school doctor, sat on a bench nearby, and idly propped his chin up, his amber eyes wandering over the members of the Magic University team.

The students on the university's unified team uniform formed a circle and whispered among themselves.

"The coach is gone, what do we do now?"

"Let's send someone over quickly, so we don't keep them waiting."

"Don't look at me, my team can't fly. One earthquake on the other side and my team is gone."

"How about I go up and do something special?"

The Magic University team was originally quite strong; last year, they only missed the Kyoto team by one point to take second place in the high school league. However, today's opponent was a completely different level of strength. Dragon-type Pokémon are synonymous with power, and their opponent was the successor of the strongest Dragon-type Gym Leader in the Unova region.

"If only the senior students were still here," the school team captain sighed.

"I don't think it'll make a difference even if the senior comes," a student turned to look at Du Ruo, then shrank back in fright when he met Du Ruo's sinister gaze. "I heard from my friends at United that he's already repeated three years."

Why isn't he graduating? Is it because he doesn't want to?

"It seems it's because he only played ranked matches at school and failed the written test."

[”

Is there anything more humiliating than a group of highly learned academic geniuses losing to a mediocre student?

A heavy sigh came from the school team.

Although the team members kept their voices down, Du Ruo, who was sitting not far away, still heard them.

Veins bulged on his forehead.

The student who repeated a grade ate your family's rice!

He said, "If you're bad, practice more. Trainers become strong because of their Pokémon. What's the use of learning so much knowledge? Are you going to flip through a book during a battle?"

The team members all turned their heads at the same time, looked at him with concern for an illiterate person, hesitated to speak, but worried that he wouldn't understand, so they could only sigh helplessly.

Although she won the match, Du Ruo felt humiliated and clenched her fists.

"I don't think that's a good idea."

A girl wearing a purple fur robe walked up to Du Ruo, made a big X with her hands in front of her chest, and gave an objective evaluation with a stern expression on her cute face.

"As a student, learning knowledge is very important. The world's development relies on productivity, not force. If it weren't for the Pokémon professors who developed the Poké Ball and many other technologies, you would probably be running after Dragon-type Pokémon in the mountains right now."

Du Ruo glanced at the girl beside her and sneered, "But Donghuang doesn't even have a single Pokémon professor yet. All I see is a bunch of bookworms with glasses. As for you, Zi Yu, did you go to the bathroom to cry just now? Did you accidentally run into the men's room?"

Zi Yu and Du Ruo are the vice-captain and captain of this friendly match, but Zi Gan has already lost to the captain of the Magic University team, while the captain of the team lost to Du Ruo. Now the other side has only one player spot left.

Du Ruo sneered inwardly. Even the captain, who was the team's main player, had lost. He had thought that the coach of the Magic University would warm up and personally take to the field, but he did not expect that the other party would answer a phone call and run out.

"Making jokes like that to girls is very rude."

Zigan really wanted to find some tape to stick Du Ruo's mouth shut, to prevent others from thinking that the air pollution at their Blueberry Academy was too serious and that the students' mouths were not clean.

Unfortunately, Du Ruo wasn't doing it on purpose; he just speaks without thinking, even though he's not particularly bright.

Who would have thought that his words just now were actually expressions of concern for others?

To prevent myself from being too disappointed by losing the game, and also to remind myself in hindsight not to go to the wrong toilet.

"I just followed the coach of the Magic University, and it seems he found a student to compete against you at the last minute."

"A student hired temporarily? What year are they in? They're not graduates, are they?"

"Judging from the situation, they should be a freshman, but the other party has a Gardevoir, which is raised to be quite—very, extremely—" Zi Yu racked her brains but couldn't find a suitable adjective. After frowning and thinking for a moment, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and held up a finger to evaluate, "A perfect score of 100."

"A freshman?" Du Ruo asked, frowning.

"I think it's a stepping stone for freshmen. To save face for themselves, they're willing to push freshmen up there to embarrass themselves. You scholars have truly dirty hearts," Du Ruo mocked.

Zi Yu clenched her little fists. You can swear, but can you at least do it away from your teammates?

"Fine, since I'm a filthy bad girl, I won't let you copy my homework anymore. I hope you can maintain the same attitude when you fail your exams, get kicked out of Blueberry Academy, and are whipped like a top by Mr. Shaka." Zi Yu said with her arms crossed and a sly smile.

Du Ruo became anxious.

"No, no, no, I was wrong, okay?"

The academic underachiever's inferiority complex reached its peak at this moment.

If this weren't the gymnasium at Magic University, but rather the lounge at Blueberry Academy, he would have knelt before Zigan and kowtowed to Ziyu.

The child's grades were already poor, so he could only copy homework to get some participation points and earn credits by chance.

If there were no purple yu (a type of flask), wadashi—

Zi Yu snorted: "You'd better hurry up and get ready, or you'll make a mess of things."

Du Ruo yawned and took out her phone: "What can a freshman do? Even if the school puts together a team for him, he probably won't be able to play well. I think we should book a flight and go back to school as soon as possible. Donghuang is making me feel unwell, and I don't even have an appetite."

The coach actually found a freshman to take the blame? Upon hearing Zi Yu's news and Du Ruo's sharp sarcasm, the team members felt utterly humiliated.

That's incredibly unlucky.

The school team is the face of the school and has dignity. How can we let our juniors lose face for us?

One of the team members took a deep breath.

At that moment, a beam of light shone from behind him, as if lightning had pierced through the dark clouds.

The gymnasium door was pushed open.

"It's understandable that wild boars can't eat fine chaff." A sharp, sarcastic remark reached everyone's ears, and they all turned to look at the source of the voice.

It was as if a person had stepped out of a painting, his indifferent eyes scanning the surroundings before finally looking away with disdain, as if there was nothing in the stadium that was worth his attention.

Everyone fell silent. This person who had suddenly barged in was too dazzling. In an instant, everyone understood that he had come to show off.

"Du Ruo, grandson of Shaka, the Gym Leader of Unova Dragon City, one of the Blueberry Academy Elite Four, specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon, and is a slow learner who has repeated three years of school —"

Wei Xin walked up to Du Ruo and spoke slowly and deliberately, his sharp voice reaching the ears of everyone in the venue.

"If I were you, I would either learn the art of language, or diligently brush my teeth after every meal to avoid offending others with my breath. Or is the toothpaste on your head just a decoration?"

Wei Xin flicked Du Ruo's hair, but unfortunately his hairstyle didn't make a "~" sound like a steak head.

But he himself will.

"ha?"

Du Ruo raised the corners of his mouth, frowned, and made a ferocious face. The wrinkles on the bridge of his nose made him look like a wild beast about to bite someone, but the next second, his expression relaxed.

They dared not be angry, nor dared they speak out.

He saw a pair of eyes, black like caves, with golden light flashing inside from time to time, as if some kind of wild beast was sleeping inside, emanating an aura that warned the surrounding creatures that this was its territory, and that anyone who intruded would bear the consequences.

He knew exactly what was inside the cave.

The dragon, a powerful dragon he had never seen before, was more powerful and terrifying than any dragon-type Pokémon he knew.

He was even more frightening than his grandfather.

Only when Du Ruo's pupils contracted to their limit and she forgot to breathe in terror did Wei Xin withdraw the aura belonging to Rayquaza. Putting aside everything else, as the Dragon God, Rayquaza's aura has a natural suppressive power over all Dragon-type Pokémon.

Not to mention a greenhorn.

They're quite cute.

It wasn't until Wei Xin turned around and looked away that Du Ruo realized what was happening. She sat on the bench, head down, breathing heavily, sweating profusely. After regaining her composure, she raised her head and focused her gaze on the figure in front of her.

"Who are you?" Du Ruo asked, her face filled with fear and confusion.

Could it be that there are other dragon inheritors like him in Donghuang?

"Having debuted for only two and a half months, Wei Xin is just an ordinary freshman at Magic University. So, is my opponent you, with your empty head, or—"

Wei Xin turned his gaze to the person beside him, blinking and slightly pausing, "Is it still this lovely and intelligent Senior Zi Yu?"

"No, why are you treating her differently?" Du Ruo thought Wei Xin was trying to flirt with Zi Yu, since Zi Yu's cuteness was universally acknowledged at Blueberry Academy. Unexpectedly, Wei Xin continued to speak.

"Or, could you two come at me together?"
