At the entrance of the Pokémon Center in Zi Ning Town, Wooloo had already recovered.
Chen Kai said again, "I'm really sorry, Wang Yi."
Wang Yi had already calmed down and waved her hand, "Don't blame you. I wanted to have a Pokémon battle, and getting injured in a battle is inevitable."
"It was I who made a fool of myself. I cried after losing the battle. You're not allowed to tell anyone at school!"
Chen Kai quickly nodded, "Absolutely not, absolutely not!"
"You received your first Pokémon 5 days before me. In a few days, Wooloo and I will surpass you, right?"
Wooloo, having recovered, confidently cried out:
"Maa!" (You guys just wait!)
Chen Kai smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
"I'll send you back to the village. It'll be faster to take Miraidon."
Wang Yi's face flushed slightly. They had come to town together on Miraidon, and it was quite a tight squeeze for two people on Miraidon. She had to press close to Chen Kai to sit steadily.
"No need, it's not far to walk back."
"It's on the way, so I'll walk back with you."
Wang Yi nodded and no longer refused, "Mm, by the way, how did your Mareep learn Thunderbolt? I remember Mareep doesn't naturally learn that move."
"Miraidon knew Thunderbolt before, and Xiao Mei only mastered it after arduous special training."
Wang Yi asked doubtfully, "Miraidon?"
Chen Kai explained, "It's this shiny Cyclizar. I named him Miraidon."
Wang Yi suddenly understood, "Oh! You also named Mareep. Should I also give Wooloo a nickname?"
"I think giving a nickname is pretty good. Otherwise, with a bunch of Wooloo, I wouldn't be able to tell who's who."
Wang Yi nodded, thinking it made a lot of sense.
Walking towards Wang Village on the hilltop, chatting idly, the socially awkward Chen Kai secretly sized up Wang Yi.
She wore a comfortable short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans, her hair neatly combed back and tied with a simple black hair tie.
Because she had just cried, her eyes were still a bit red. Her face wasn't exquisite, but it was very fair. Unlike the village chief, if she wore glasses, she would look very much like an old class monitor or a study committee member.
"Why did you choose Wooloo as your first Pokémon?" Chen Kai asked. "I remember the school gives out initial Pokémon in the second year of high school!"
Wang Yi immediately responded, "Most of the initial Pokémon given out by the school are Bug-type. I'm quite afraid of bugs."
"Selling Pokémon in the county town is too expensive. Even the lowest-grade Pokémon eggs cost tens of thousands, and you have to gamble; you might still hatch a Bug-type Pokémon. If you hatch some special Pokémon, like Magikarp, I can't raise it in the mountains at all."
"My dad said Wooloo is pretty good, gentle and easy to raise."
Chen Kai asked again, "Then are there no starter Pokémon to buy? Starter Pokémon are also quite easy to raise."
Wang Yi replied with a complaint, "You really are asking, 'Why don't they eat meat?' A single starter Pokémon costs over a million! How could I afford that?"
Chen Kai replied in surprise, "That expensive!"
"Yes! Pokémon training is very expensive! Tens of thousands of yuan might be spent without any visible results," Wang Yi replied helplessly.
"Didn't they teach all this in elementary and middle school?"
Chen Kai laughed, "I know, I was just saying."
Wang Yi continued talking to herself, "And the reason I chose Wooloo is also because its wool is very valuable, and the subsequent training expenses are very low. Wooloo is a Pokémon found only in the West, very rare in China. It's only because your father grazes them in our village that I had the opportunity to choose it."
The two chatted like this for over ten minutes before reaching Wang Village on the hilltop.
Named 'Wang Village on the Hilltop,' the village was actually located at the southern foot of the mountain, with a small stream at the village entrance.
There were dozens of households in total, nestled against the mountains and by the water, quite pleasant.
Wang Yi introduced to Chen Kai, "My cousin, who is the same age as us, is also in the village. I'll introduce you two next time."
"Okay, I'm going home now," Chen Kai waved goodbye to Wang Yi.
At this moment, an untimely voice sounded: "Stop! Who told you to leave?"
A thin boy stood behind the utility pole at the village entrance, his buzz cut dyed golden.
The blonde-haired boy walked up to Chen Kai and arrogantly said, "You hit someone and just want to run? It's not that easy!"
"Xiao Xiang, stop messing around! What nonsense did you hear? Go home quickly." Wang Yi stood between the two, waving her hand to shoo him away.
"Chen Kai, this is my cousin, Wang Tianxiang, whom I just mentioned. There might be some misunderstanding, you go first, I'll explain it to him clearly."
"Fine, for your sake, I'll let him off the hook." Wang Tianxiang continued to speak arrogantly, "Hey, you kid, next time you see me, stay far away!"
In his original world, Chen Kai, as the bully of Wuzhong who beat up the Nanshan Nursing Home and kicked the Chaoyang Kindergarten, had never been threatened like this.
He immediately roared, "You've got guts! Xiao Mei, go!"
"Maa!" (*｀д´)
Wang Tianxiang burst out laughing, "Good! Then I'll teach you a lesson, kid!"
He threw out a Poké Ball: "Go! My partner! Dwebble!"
A Bug-type Pokémon appeared, carrying a large dark grey rock on its back and an orange body.
"I've known your initial Pokémon is Electric-type for a long time. My Dwebble is a natural counter to your Mareep! If you surrender now, I might spare your life!"
Chen Kai and Wang Yi: "?"
Chen Kai doubted himself for a moment. Could it be that in this world, Rock-type Pokémon also counter Electric-type? Or is it Bug-type countering Electric-type? Or is his Dwebble special?
He took out his Pokédex to check the information:
Name: Dwebble
Type: Rock, Bug
Level: Beginner
Ability: Sturdy
"Xiao Mei, try Thunder Wave first."
Wang Tianxiang laughed, "Useless, useless! My invincible life, Wang Tianxiang, begins with you! Dwebble, charge and use Fury Cutter!"
"Dweb!" Dwebble's claws glowed green as it slowly crawled towards Xiao Mei.
Then Wang Tianxiang was stunned. Dwebble crawled two steps, was hit by Thunder Wave, and became completely paralyzed, unable to move.
Everyone on the scene was silent for a while. Finally, Wang Yi broke the silence: "Tianxiang, did you not listen in class at all? Ground-type is immune to Electric-type, not Rock-type."
Wang Tianxiang shrieked, "Ah!?"
Chen Kai chuckled, "I thought it was something serious! Turns out it's just a small, insignificant punk! Xiao Mei, use Thunderbolt!"
"Maa!" (Okay)
Xiao Mei's wool expanded greatly, and the light on her tail flashed dazzlingly!
"Yamero! No! Stop!"
At the familiar Pokémon Center entrance.
The blonde-haired boy respectfully stood in front of Chen Kai, "Kai Ge! Thank you for showing mercy! From now on, when you come to Zining High School, just mention my name and it'll work!"
Chen Kai didn't want to bother with this idiotic blonde-haired boy.
Xiao Mei's Thunderbolt was only learned today, so her aim wasn't very good, and she hadn't hit Dwebble just now.
But after Wang Yi's pleading, Chen Kai rode Miraidon and took Dwebble to the Pokémon Center to remove the paralysis.
"Kai Ge, your Cyclizar is really cool! Can I ride it?" Wang Tianxiang stared at Miraidon, unable to move.
Chen Kai's fists were already clenched.
"Xiao Mei, prepare to use Thunder Wave, aim at that blonde-haired boy."
Wang Tianxiang quickly apologized, "Bro, bro, bro, I was just kidding."
Wang Yi also reprimanded him from the side, "Wang Tianxiang, read fewer novels and comics in the future, at least look at the blackboard in class. Rock-type resists Normal-type, Flying-type, Fire-type, and Poison-type, taking reduced damage from these 4 types of attacks, but not Electric-type. And Rock-type moves deal increased damage when hitting Bug-, Flying-, Fire-, and Ice-type Pokémon. They're all different!"
Wang Tianxiang, with a fawning expression, asked, "Sis, what about Bug-type?"
Wang Yi sighed and replied, "Bug-type takes less damage when hit by Ground-, Fighting-, and Grass-type attacks."
"Of course, as an attacker, type advantages are a bit different."
Wang Tianxiang nodded, took out a pen and paper, "Oh! What's it like for attackers? I'll write it down."
Chen Kai smiled helplessly. In the Pokémon world, there were actually people who didn't know about type advantages.
