So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 81 Repaying Kindness

Thanks to the trainer's tireless efforts, Litten was finally moved. In subsequent battles, it worked together with the trainer, using the dust on its body to break Sobble's invisibility and defeat it with a double kick.

Wei Xin's words inspired Teacher Wang, and he decided to temporarily change the teaching plan. He called all the students to his side and unleashed his wrist strength and power.

"Next, I'm going to demonstrate a special skill for you all. Everyone watch closely," Teacher Wang said, pointing at Machamp. "Armhamnip, use Return! Machamp, use Cross Chop!"

Together with Teacher Wang, Wanli tensed all his muscles, recalling the time they spent in the gym, training and sweating together with self-discipline. The memories surged within him with the power, and a silvery-white light appeared on Wanli's body, colliding and accumulating with Haoli, whose hands were crossed in a cross shape.

Originally, due to the difference in levels, Machop, which had not yet evolved, should have been knocked away by Machop's move, but their bond created another possibility.

Haoli could not withstand the attack of his wrist and was forced to retreat repeatedly.

"This is Repayment, a move whose power depends on the bond between the Pokémon and its trainer. It's also the signature move of Grass-type Gym Leader San and his Buneary."

Teacher Wang withdrew his strength and continued his explanation.

"According to research by Pokémon scientists, there is a mysterious connection between Pokémon and their trainers, which we generally refer to as bond. Many people believe that bond is just a hypothesis and has no effect in actual battles."

"But the existence of the Return skill is strong proof of this theory. If the Pokémon's own strength is the main factor in determining the outcome of a battle, then the bond between the trainer and the Pokémon is the possibility of reversing the outcome."

"Sometimes, it can even lead to bizarre phenomena."

"Learning the Return move can strengthen the bond between Pokémon and their trainers, so your task is to have your Pokémon learn the Return move within a month."

……

"So all Pokémon can use Return?"

After finishing his morning classes, Wei Xin went to the research center in the afternoon. After sending Ralts to train her superpowers, Wei Xin sat down in front of the computer.

Eevee lay lazily on Wei Xin's lap, enjoying life without Ralts.

It's finally my turn to enjoy being a trainer!

The Return move is quite special; ordinary Pokémon cannot learn it naturally by leveling up. In order to help Ralts master the Return move, Wei Xin used the research center's account to browse relevant papers on the Return move on CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure).

According to the paper, Lopunny is the only Pokémon that can learn this move by leveling up, and it is also one of the Pokémon with the highest initial friendship value of 140.

"Perhaps it's related to the habits of rabbits."

After all, it's a rabbit. Those who know, know; those who don't, I can't say.

Conversely, Lopunny, which evolves through friendship, is the only Pokémon that can naturally learn to take its anger out on others by leveling up.

Having spent so much time together, and having raised Ralts himself, Wei Xin was quite curious about the level of intimacy between him and Ralts.

I'll say a number: 255!

Wei Xin continued his research on long-eared rabbits.

"It evolved based on friendship level, yet it can use the skill of taking its anger out on others? That's strange."

"That's what you call love turning into hate!" Upon hearing Wei Xin's words, Senior Sister Huang put down her newly created, untouched thesis and said.

"Junior brother, are you planning to teach Ralts how to repay kindness? I can teach her," the senior sister said solicitously.

"Senior sister, you actually repay a debt of gratitude?" Ma Liang asked in surprise.

Is this something I can say?

"Call him Uncle-Master!" the senior sister corrected. Although Ma Liang had joined the research center, he was not Professor Li's closed-door disciple, but rather a disciple of Professor Li's disciple. In other words, he was a menial servant.

How dare you, a lowly servant disciple, flirt with your senior sister?

Without saying a word, the senior sister turned off the computer, took out a Poké Ball from her waist, which contained her Pokémon, and twirled it on her finger while saying, "Anyway, I'm pretty free today, so you can come along since you're going the same way."

As a senior student, it's perfectly normal for me to lend a helping hand when my junior is in trouble; it's definitely not because I want to delay my thesis.

"Senior sister, go prepare the equipment. You guys go and bring Ralts and Piplup over here."

……

Wei Xin carried Ibu and walked with Ma Liang to the entrance of the superpower classroom on the second floor.

Through the glass doorway, you can see Alakazam and Ralts training with their psychic powers.

There's also Piplup, who can't learn any superpowers and can only do push-ups on the sidelines, trying to attract Ralts' attention by making a lot of noise, but he doesn't realize that Ralts and Alakazam are both wearing earplugs and he doesn't notice Piplup's presence at all.

Alakazam stood on the podium and used Spectral Beam on Ralts. Ralts, wearing sunglasses, observed and imitated Alakazam, trying to use her psychic powers to create the same Spectral Beam. A beam of red, yellow, and blue appeared above Ralts' head, constantly changing colors.

Ralts has mastered the skill Psychic Beam. Reward: 1600 Action Points

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he did push-ups while slowly moving in front of Ralts. Then he turned his head and winked at Ralts, and a pink heart slowly floated towards Ralts.

Woman, isn't this enough to get your attention?

Looking down, Ralts saw Piplup and squinted, a look of disgust on her face.

You're a Water-type Pokémon, and instead of practicing your moves in the pool, you're here cosplaying a Shiny Caterpie? Do you have any respect for your trainer?

So he reached out, and an illusionary beam of light shot out from his head, piercing through Piplup's seductive eyes and striking Piplup's face.

Woohoo!

Bogarman's eyes appeared to be filled with swirling halos of light, and he fell into chaos.

Now it's time for fantasy.

In a daze, I heard Ralts' soft voice, and when I looked down, I saw Ralts lying in my arms.

"Poga~ Poga~ Poga~"

So, Bogarman, holding a large bottle of mineral water, swayed his head and, with his superb bubble voice, recited a long string of love words. Then, he raised his hand, gently stroked the mineral water, and passionately kissed it.

Until Ma Liang couldn't stand it anymore, he said, "You good-for-nothing, you're obsessed with women. I wonder who you take after?"

Stepping into the training room, he twisted open the cap of a mineral water bottle, gripped the bottle, held the opening towards Piplup's face, and squeezed hard, sending a stream of clear water spraying onto Piplup's face.

The trainer used a water gun.

Piplup shuddered, snapping out of the chaos. He looked up and saw his trainer with a disappointed expression.

Turning his head, he saw Ralts, Alakazam, and Eevee surrounding him, all with expressions of pity on their faces. Behind him, Wei Xin pursed his lips, thinking through all the sad things in his life.

I have received professional training...

But he couldn't help but chuckle and burst out laughing.

Just kidding, I actually skipped class that day.

Is it funny? All I see is a Pogaman who makes a complete fool of himself in front of the girl he likes, his face ashen, completely losing his right to choose a partner, and whose life will never be filled with joy or sorrow again.

"Pogaman—" Pogaman cried out as he fled the training room.

The crowd smiled helplessly and chased after him until they saw Bogaman stop at the door of a room. As if he had seen golden waves on the beach, his eyes lit up, and he instantly forgot the embarrassing scene from before. He pounced on the door, wiggled his butt, and started wiping the glass with his face.
