Chapter 32: Monkey King is out of the cage

Old Man Fuji, I want to join the Pokémon House.

Old Man Fuji, I want to join too.

After Jiang Fan and Zhu Lan's battle ended, the Gym's students were also boiling with excitement.

They frantically applied to Old Man Fuji to join the Pokémon House.

Thinking about it carefully, both of their Gym Leader's Pokémon were adopted from here.

First, there was a Charmeleon that could use Sunny Day, and then a Munchlax that could use Metronome to unleash Legendary Baokemeng moves.

In this situation, if you don't go to the Pokémon House to adopt a Pokémon, you'd feel like you're missing out.

Jiang Fan did not stop these people's actions.

As long as they don't abandon them after adopting them, it's fine.

Of course, if someone does, and the Pokémon House finds out, Old Man Fuji has the right to have the Pokemon Police Station arrest him.

This is an agreement that must be signed when becoming a volunteer.

He signed it when he first joined.

“Buzz~”

At this moment, Jiang Fan's phone suddenly vibrated.

Jiang Fan picked it up and his face lit up.

A new order came in.

Someone placed an online order for him to guide them in training their Pokémon.

The time was set for 3 PM for a video call guidance session.

.....

3 PM.

Jiang Fan sat under a tree, preparing to make a call to his client.

Next to him lay a sleeping Munchlax.

Four or five meters to his right was Charmeleon, currently undergoing skill special training.

While waiting, Zhu Lan walked over with Gabite.

She was originally going to sit to Jiang Fan's left, but when she saw the loudly snoring Munchlax lying there, her eyelid twitched, and she immediately changed her position.

She sat down to Jiang Fan's right.

“Jiang Fan, Old Man Fuji told me that your Pokémon guidance skills are excellent, that you can tell the results of Pokémon skill special training at a glance, is that true or false?”

There was no longer any anger on her face from her defeat.

“If you think it's true, then it's true,” Jiang Fan said with a smile.

“No, then I definitely think it's false. How could anyone tell the number of Pokémon skill special training sessions at a glance?” Zhu Lan shook her head, “But everyone around says you really can do it, which makes me very confused.”

“Then do you want to make a bet?” Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow.

“Bet what?” Zhu Lan frowned.

“I just happen to have a video call with someone to guide them in training their Pokémon.”

“If I can tell the number of the opponent's Pokémon's next skill special training sessions at a glance, you give me three thousand alliance coins. If I can't, I'll give you three thousand alliance coins. Do you dare to take the bet?” Jiang Fan said with a smile.

“I'll take it.”

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Lan readily agreed.

In her opinion, it was difficult to tell at a glance even face-to-face, let alone through a video; that was simply a fantasy.

So, these three thousand alliance coins, she was sure to win.

“You said it yourself, if you don't succeed, you'll give me three thousand alliance coins. I'll use them to buy delicious treats for Gabite and get rid of the frustration from losing during the day,” Zhu Lan said fiercely.

“Alright.”

Jiang Fan smiled and shrugged.

However, half an hour later, Jiang Fan still hadn't received a message for the client's video call.

“Jiang Fan, are you sure you made an appointment with someone for three o'clock? I've been waiting here for half an hour,” Zhu Lan said, a little displeased.

“Don't worry, I'll ask.”

Jiang Fan sent a message to the other party to inquire.

The other party replied very quickly, but the message made Jiang Fan want to hit someone.

The other party apologized to him, saying that her father felt it wasn't worth the money and had already re-ordered a guide with two Gym badges for her.

“Hey, the other party isn't ordering anymore, so how does our bet count? Doesn't it mean you lose?” Zhu Lan said excitedly, craning her neck to look, “Three thousand alliance coins just fell into my lap.”

Although three thousand alliance coins were a small sum to her, being able to make Jiang Fan bleed made her feel exceptionally refreshed right now.

“What's the rush? Don't get happy too soon.”

Suppressing his inner displeasure, Jiang Fan sent a message to the other party.

He stated that whether it was worth it or not was beside the point; he could provide free guidance first. If they felt it was worth it afterward, they could pay; if not, they wouldn't have to.

The other party did not reply immediately.

A minute later, a video call came directly.

On the other end was a delicate-looking girl with short hair.

Behind her stood a somewhat rugged man. From the background, it seemed they were in a park.

“Sir, you just told my daughter that you can provide free guidance first. Is that true or false?” the man standing behind asked.

“It's true. If you still feel it's not worth it after the guidance, you don't have to pay,” Jiang Fan nodded.

Upon hearing this, the man asked his daughter to bring her Pokémon.

Soon, an Eevee was held up to the camera by the girl.

“You're currently training Eevee for Swift, aren't you?”

Before the other side could speak, Jiang Fan spoke first.

“Hmm?” Zhu Lan's eyes widened.

Is this something that can be seen at a glance?

Immediately after, she heard the man's surprised voice from the video.

“That's right, we're training Eevee for Swift, but we've practiced many times, and Eevee hasn't mastered it. We don't know if there's a problem with the training method.”

Jiang Fan said, “There's no mistake in the training method. If you train Eevee for Swift 34 more times now, it will master it.”

“Sir, I haven't even said what training method it is yet?” The man on the other side looked displeased, seemingly thinking Jiang Fan was lying.

Jiang Fan's expression was calm: “Please don't question me. You'll know if you train Eevee 34 more times now.”

Looking at Jiang Fan's overly calm expression.

The man hesitantly asked his daughter to proceed with the training.

At the same time, he didn't forget to say to the camera:

“If it doesn't succeed, I won't pay, okay?”

Jiang Fan shrugged, indicating it was fine.

And after the man and his daughter together guided Eevee through the special training, Zhu Lan frowned.

“Jiang Fan, you're not teaming up with them to trick me, are you?”

“That guy hasn't even said what skill special training Eevee is undergoing, and you just said it first?”

“If you don't believe me, then so be it,” Jiang Fan said indifferently, “The bet can still be canceled now.”

Looking at Jiang Fan's calm and composed expression, an unexplainable anger surged in Zhu Lan's heart.

“Cancel your head! I, Zhu Lan, really won't believe this nonsense today. You said Eevee can master Swift in 34 tries, and it really can?”

“Come, give me your phone, I'll watch and count right now,” Zhu Lan said angrily.

Jiang Fan handed it over, then leaned comfortably against the tree, stroking the sleeping Munchlax while watching Charmeleon practice Fire Fang to improve its proficiency.

About twenty minutes passed.

A commotion suddenly came from the Pokémon House.

“Be careful, Mankey broke out of its cage!”
