So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 123 A Morning Battle of Wits in Love

Chapter 123 A Morning Battle of Wits in Love

It was another morning when Wei Xin opened his eyes, got up, and felt a warm sensation in his right hand. He turned his head and saw a small brown, fluffy ball wrapped around his right hand. It was Ibu, fast asleep, hugging his arm.

To avoid disturbing the little guy, Wei Xin gently withdrew his hand. Ibu rolled over, opened its mouth, and a few drops of drool dripped from the corner of its mouth, looking like a little lovesick girl.

Hehe, taking a bath with my trainer increases our intimacy level.

Like Eevee, Mibrim, leaning against the windowsill, had the same expression, her mouth curved into a crescent moon, as if she were dreaming of something good.

Ah, spring has finally arrived.

Wei Xin felt dizzy and lightheaded. He had a nightmare last night in which he was riding a Milton, speeding along a mountain road in the suburbs.

He was fast enough to leave everything behind, but he couldn't shake off the memory of that day's unforgettable love, the uncle sitting next to her, and the words his uncle said to him.

"What you love is your life."

It was terrifying. Just thinking about it sent chills down Wei Xin's spine, as if something terrible was about to happen today.

He shook his head to clear his mind.

Hopefully nothing bad will happen.

Well, to avoid any mishaps, let's give it our all during the match this morning.

"Ralts~" Ralts rubbed its sleepy eyes, turned its head, and saw that Eevee was still fast asleep.

Then I won't stand on ceremony. No, the trainer is mine to begin with, so I gently hugged Wei Xin's neck and left the room with him.

The door to the room creaked open, and Tan Xiaoshi, who had already woken up, saw Wei Xin and quickly jumped off the stool, scrambling over to him.

Following Wei Xin into the kitchen, Wei Xin handed Tan Xiaoshi a knife and asked him to help prepare the ingredients.

Tan Xiaoshi has a great talent for using knives. With a little guidance from Wei Xin, he can peel apples in a spiral shape.

This child seems well-suited to evolve into a Azure Flame Blade Demon.

Breakfast was simmering in the pot. Looking up, Wei Xin glanced out the kitchen window. Millerton was lying on the floor when a white butterfly unexpectedly flew to his nose. Once the butterfly was firmly on his nose, Millerton flicked his head—a movement Wei Xin couldn't quite make out.

Eat the butterfly.

Then a white butterfly flew out of his nose.

Wei Xin suddenly became curious about the body structure of this guy.

"Today is the day of the main competition, right?"

While eating breakfast, Mary suddenly asked, "Do you want me to go to the stadium and cheer you on?" As she spoke, Mary excitedly pulled out a set of tight-fitting purple and black cheerleading uniforms from behind her back. The top was very short, collarless, sleeveless, and exposed her midriff, while the bottom was a short skirt with lace trim that could only cover half of her thighs. She also added a cute, tinkling voice.

"Pfft!" Wei Xin was so startled that he almost spat out the soy milk in his hand. The image of Mary wearing this outfit involuntarily appeared in his mind. Suddenly, he felt a heat in his nose. He tried to feel it with his finger and found that nothing was flowing out.

Today's breakfast seems too nutritious.

"No rush, no rush," Wei Xin said, taking a deep breath to calm himself down.

"There's an old saying in Donghuang: 'One should strike while the iron is hot, but the momentum will wane after a second attempt, and exhaust it completely after a third.' It's too early to bring out the killer now."

"What do you mean?" Mary tilted her head in confusion.

"What I mean is that when Marie wears this outfit, Ralts and I can unleash 1000% of our power, but we can only do it once. Let's save it for the finals."

"Okay." Mary put down the clothes in her hand with some disappointment. At the dining table, Morpeko quietly reached for the bowl in front of Mimikyu.

"There's one more thing, the level of exposure in this outfit," Wei Xin said, his left wrist slightly twisting as if he were about to conjure a missile, then stopping himself, "It's too stimulating for most people."

Mimikyu slapped Morpeko's restless little hand hard. Morpeko withdrew its hand in grievance and glared at the Mimikyu beside it. Why are you still guarding your food?

"Really?" Mary glanced at the clothes in her hand; that's what the cheerleading girls in Galar all wore. She looked up...

Seeing that Wei Xin's movements were somewhat hesitant, and his gaze kept shifting between himself and his clothes, he suddenly realized what was going on.

Could it be that he's jealous? She never expected that Wei Xin, who was always calm and composed no matter what the situation, would be so surprisingly innocent when it came to matters between men and women.

Ralts turned her head and looked at her trainer, sensing that something was amiss.

The trainer did not exhibit any emotion called shyness.

After all, she was a Dark-type Pokémon Trainer. Seeing Wei Xin like this, Mary's long-dormant mischievous heart stirred within her.

She woke up.

She smiled, squinted slightly, and moved closer to Wei Xin.

"Don't tell me you don't want others to see me wearing this outfit?"

Seeing that Marie and the trainer were too close, Eevee was about to speak when Ralts covered its mouth.

Your skill level is too low, so keep quiet and keep watching!

She vaguely seemed to see the trainer holding a string called Emotion in his hand.

At the other end of the string, a kite named Mary was tied, its movements controlled with every contraction and release.

Wei Xin nodded hesitantly: "You know, people from Donghuang are rather reserved."

If you're jealous, just be jealous. Don't be so subtle.

"In that case, I'll wear something with more fabric for the final."

Mary leaned close to his ear and whispered, "How about I secretly wear this outfit at home just for you to see?"

Then, smoke rose into the room.

I felt like if I kept teasing him, his brain was going to explode.

So cute!

"It's a promise, once you win the freshman competition, I'll wear this outfit for you."

At this moment, Mary's wicked sense of humor was greatly satisfied. She stopped at the perfect moment, returned to her room, changed into casual clothes, and before leaving the dormitory, glanced at Wei Xin, who was still in a daze. Then she turned, pushed open the door, and walked onto the street, a smile spreading across her face.

After Mary left, Wei Xin blew a breath, his expression calm, and took out a small humidifier from his collar.

If Mary had left even a moment later, the humidifier would have run out of water.

The dating guru was right: women like smart men, and they like men who make them feel smarter.

With just three sentences, I got Mary to put on a solo fashion show for me.

Today's match was a complete victory for Wei Xin.

Nine o'clock in the morning, North Campus of Magic University.

Area A, Venue 1

Due to the large number of participants in the main tournament, the university has chosen to open multiple venues simultaneously until the round of 16, at which point the tournament will be moved to a dedicated venue.

All the matches will be held at the Magic University Gymnasium, which will be filled with spectators, media, public figures, and commentators.

Keeping all the Poké Balls except Ralts and the Rotom Pokédex in his bag to avoid putting too much pressure on his opponent and affecting their thinking, Wei Xin stood on the field and just happened to brush past the students who had finished the previous round of the competition.

"Hey bro, how did it go?"

"Sigh, bad luck. I'm facing Bulbasaur from the Agricultural College. That Bulbasaur can unleash Solar Beam repeatedly, and my Treecko can't withstand it at all."

A Bulbasaur that can unleash consecutive Solar Beam attacks?

Upon hearing this, Wei Xin looked up at the sky. Although there was sunshine, it was far from a bright and sunny day, not enough to unleash the full force of the sun. Could it be...?

Has the College of Agriculture produced results in its research on the chlorophyll content of Pokémon?

Including myself and Ralts, Marienbringer and Piplup, that guy and Duraludon, and the suddenly appearing Bulbasaur, this year's freshman tournament is truly full of hidden talents.
