So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 141 Good Cat Accessories

Chapter 141 Good Cat Accessories

[You can't lose, you can't fall down, you can't let your trainer down, otherwise, you'll disappoint your trainer, you'll go hungry, and you'll be abandoned.]

Wei Xin suddenly realized that the Pokémon provided to the students by the school were all carefully selected from various breeding centers, and there was absolutely no way that there would be any problems with their nutrition. Even Munchlax would never go hungry, let alone go hungry.

And in the eyes of the Pokémon being raised, the place next to the trainer is the safest place, a haven. But when Litten encounters a problem, it hesitates, as if the trainer's presence not only cannot provide it with protection, but may even cause serious harm.

So here's the question: Who made Litten go hungry? Who threatened to abandon Litten? Who was manipulating Litten and bringing others along to maintain a righteous image?

Wei Xin sighed. It's just a freshman competition, is it really that big of a deal?

"Ralts, Fire Punch!"

Ralts raised its fist, the flames on it were extinguished by the heavy rain, and the bare fist knocked Litten to the ground. After struggling for a moment, Litten finally exhausted its strength and could no longer get up.

"Lime can't rise again, Ralts wins, and Wei Xin advances to the top 64."

Firefly collapsed to the ground, unable to get up. Yang Ruyan was speechless and tears streamed down her face. The boy next to her quickly tried to comfort her.

"You've already tried your best, but the opponents are just too strong. It's all a problem with the school's matchmaking system."

"Actually, it's fine if we don't become trainers. I can just support you."

"How can that be? Ruyan is a natural-born trainer. It's just that Litten isn't strong enough; it can't even beat Ralts."

The result would definitely be different if it were a different Pokémon.

So, is nobody going to speak up for Litten? Litten is injured and you're all just ignoring it? At least take it to the vet!

If you won't take care of it, I will!

After qualifying for the next round, Wei Xin did not leave immediately, but instead released Tibrim: "Tibrim, use Healing Wave on Litten."

"Timi!" Tibrim waved her arm, and a pink glow fell on Litten.

Firefly opened its eyes and saw Wei Xin with his mask off, its body trembling slightly.

"Don't be nervous, I'll do a quick check-up for you."

Wei Xin reached into the Fire Spotted Cat's fur and, after a simple examination, found no external injuries. However, when he touched its neck, abdomen, tail, and head, the Fire Spotted Cat closed its eyes in fright and its body trembled noticeably. Especially when he touched its neck, it seemed to want to scream but dared not make a sound.

These are all areas where cats are relatively vulnerable and where they experience intense pain.

He must have suffered repeated injuries. Although he did not have any physical injuries due to his physical condition, he was left with psychological trauma.

The reason is not the battle.

Did you take out your frustrations on Lizard Cat when you were in a bad mood?

And just like that, the Lizard didn't hiss at her?

Wei Xin spat out a sound.

This is no longer just an ordinary combination of a luxurious cat and resilience.

"Hey, wait a minute, you little brat, what are you trying to do to Ruyan's Firefly?" A boy saw Wei Xin touching the Firefly and quickly came over.

"It's just a simple treatment," Wei Xin said, pulling out his research center badge. "I'm a student at the research center, and I'll be performing basic wound care and a physical examination."

"A physical examination?" Upon hearing this, Yang Ruyan's tears stopped instantly, and she asked anxiously, "Is Firefly Cat alright?"

Wei Xin scratched his head, gritted his teeth, and expressionlessly plucked a hair from his own head, twisted it into a ball, and while helping the Fire Spotted Cat up, quietly hid it deep in the Fire Spotted Cat's fur as a mark: "No problem, the little guy is healthy."

Openly letting the Firefly remember his scent might arouse suspicion, but leaving a single hair might help the Firefly remember to look for him if it ever runs into trouble.

"Meow?" Noticing Wei Xin's movements, the Fire Spotted Cat realized it carried his scent. It turned its head, looking puzzled, but saw Wei Xin quietly shushing it, signaling it not to make a sound.

Most Pokémon raised in breeding centers have lived with humans since birth, acquiring human traits that wild populations are unwilling to accept.

Once abandoned, their survival rate in the wild is extremely low. "If you don't meet my requirements, I'll throw you away" is the reason some trainers force Pokémon to undergo unconventional training and battles.

The same goes for Litten. When her trainer says they're going to abandon her, she gets scared because she never has anywhere to go. But now...

It seems there are other options.

Logically speaking, attacking someone else's Pokémon without permission is immoral, and Wei Xin felt that his behavior was no different from that of the Minotaur.

But he didn't care, because what's the difference between being bound by morality and being morally coerced?

For Litten, I even have the courage to betray pure love.

He touched his conscience.

It doesn't exist, great!

"Timmy!" Tibrim also came up to Litten and patted her head. Feelings are mutual. Since this trainer's treatment is not good, why not switch to us? Top-notch meals every day, delicious and filling, plenty of resources, little trouble, good temper, and handsome too.

"Ralts!" Ralts nodded, tacitly approving of Wei Xin's actions. After all, her trainer was kind-hearted and wanted to lend a helping hand to Pokémon in trouble. Eevee was like that, as were the other Pokémon on the spaceship.

"Meow?" Litten's eyes lit up. Could there really be such a good trainer in the world? She thought of her own trainer, who was not only emotionally unstable but also always hit her most sensitive spots when angry. She liked hearing her meow and sometimes wouldn't give her food, although she would comfort her afterwards. —

"That's good!" Yang Ruyan patted her chest, still feeling a little shaken.

"Ruyan and Huobanmiao have a really good relationship."

"I told you Ruyan was a kind-hearted girl."

"Otherwise, if their relationship wasn't good, why would Firefly stand up for Ruyan?"

"Lime, we're leaving." Litten still left with her trainer. Although her trainer wasn't good to her, she couldn't just abandon her trainer.

"What a magnificent, aristocratic cat!" Wei Xin sighed silently as he watched the Firefly's retreating figure.

"Ralu!" Ralu pinched Wei Xin's left cheek hard, reminding him if he had forgotten something.

Firefly is a good cat. She worked so hard today, what will be her reward?

"Alright, alright, you're an absolutely wonderful cat too!"

"Ralu!" Ralu pinched Wei Xin's right cheek. "You're the cat!"

Wei Xin: I passed the second round of the main competition smoothly. @Ma Liang, what about you?

In the research center's group chat, Wei Xin shared some good news and inquired about Ma Liang's situation. Ma Liang's opponent was an Onix, and logically, the Water-type Piplup should have a smooth run.

Lillie: I saw it! Ralts took care of Litten so easily, that's amazing.

Ma Liang: We almost lost. The opponent applied their own waterproof coating to Onix, rendering Piplup's water-type moves ineffective.

Holy crap, titanium crystallization in materials science.

Wei Xin: So how did you win?

Ma Liang: The waterproof coating on the opposite side dissolved in water, and it even started raining on the field.

Wei Xin: 6

The waterproofing material used on the other side is probably made of sediment, which dissolves in water.

Wei Xin: Isn't using a waterproof coating, a prop that isn't mentioned in the official materials, considered a foul?

For the sake of legitimacy, the league has a dedicated list of battle items, and the use of items not included in the list is prohibited during matches.

Lillie: Maybe the freshman tournament at our school isn't very organized. Today I saw someone use a weird item called a Power Ball. That Nidoran knocked down the opponent's Rowlet in one go.

Senior Sister: Congratulations! Wei Xin, you should have some free time now, right? The research center isn't getting enough tree fruits for experiments. Could you ride your Millerton to the market and buy some tree fruits to deliver to the research institute? Buy extra of each kind, and I'll reimburse you.

Wei Xin: Received.

He was also going to the research center to discuss the skills materials with the professor, and it would be good if they could reimburse even a small amount.
