Chapter 51: It’s too miserable not to be able to fly
“So boring~”
Inside a large lecture hall, Chu Kelian yawned in boredom as she listened to the incessant rambling of the instructor at the podium. She was on the verge of falling asleep and hadn’t even had the chance to play hide and seek with her Charmander and Trapinch.
“Did you not sleep well last night? Why do you look so listless today?” Bai Qianqian, sitting beside Chu Kelian, curiously poked Chu Kelian’s small face with her pen and was surprised to find that Chu Kelian didn’t react at all. She whispered, “Is that so? Last night, Charmander’s flames almost set my bed on fire…”
Chu Kelian rolled her eyes and casually complained. Yes, because she wasn’t paying attention, she accidentally covered Charmander’s tail with her blanket. Luckily, she noticed it in time…
“You’re really something, Chu Kelian…”
Bai Qianqian was taken aback by Chu Kelian’s nonchalant attitude.
“Qianqian, let’s have a battle at noon,” Chu Kelian suggested with sparkling eyes.
“Sure, but it seems like there’s no arena available,” Bai Qianqian pondered, not refusing outright. Where could they have a battle? Elf battles could potentially damage the arena.
“Let’s use the school playground then. My dad donates a lot of money to the school every year, and they use their playground for training. What’s the big deal?” Chu Kelian replied without hesitation.
No hesitation at all. After all, Chu’s family conglomerate was one of the largest sponsor companies in Shanghai, and they donated a significant amount of money each year for the renovation and refurbishment of various places and facilities.
“And why not? What’s wrong with using a whole playground for training?” Chu Kelian, the noble young lady of the Chu family, didn’t see any issue with it.
“But we should still inform the teacher,” Bai Qianqian said with a twitch of her mouth, not knowing how to respond. She couldn’t help but feel that since getting her Pokémon, Chu Kelian had become more ‘assertive,’ something she wasn’t used to seeing in her friend before.
“By the way, Chu Kelian, has your teacher mentioned the 20th-anniversary celebration?” Bai Qianqian asked.
“Oh, he mentioned it as soon as I arrived this morning. He said he hopes I’ll cooperate with you to organize a performance,” Chu Kelian replied lazily, lying on her desk.
Bai Qianqian wasn’t just the universally recognized school beauty but also the head of the Student Union’s Arts Department. Currently a freshman, Bai Qianqian would undoubtedly become the Student Union President next year. In fact, Chu Kelian was in the same position, but she had a more carefree and lazy personality. Besides, her sister, Bai Qianqian, was already handling the responsibilities, so she didn’t feel the need to get involved.
In Chu Kelian’s eyes, the Student Union was just a way to manage some minor school affairs, nothing more. Moreover, even without any Student Union position, Chu Kelian’s status was clear to all, and even the instructors spoke carefully to her. Who didn’t know about this young lady’s background?
“By the way, Qianqian, I do have an idea,” Chu Kelian suddenly brightened her eyes and whispered to Bai Qianqian.
“Will it scare the leaders?” Bai Qianqian blinked, feeling intrigued after hearing Chu Kelian’s idea. However, she also worried about the older school officials.
“Don’t worry, their ability to accept things isn’t that bad, and besides, it’s a great opportunity to showcase our Pokémon, like Squirtle and Charmander,” Chu Kelian said with sparkling eyes. She had completely fallen in love with her Pokémon, and her intention was simply to make everyone aware of their existence.
“Alright!” Bai Qianqian agreed. Chu Chu’s idea was flawless, and the performance would undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on the audience!
“Speaking of which, did your classmates ask you about Squirtle and Trapinch this morning?”
“Of course they did! Hehe, I even let Charmander out for them to see. They were practically oozing envy,” Chu Kelian replied.
“Same here. They all said Squirtle is super cute and smart!”
“I bet after school, a lot of our classmates won’t be able to resist going to the store. That stingy owner should give us more Energy Cubes,” Chu Kelian said.
“Exactly! Let’s go check out the store after school too. I wonder if the owner will have any business today,” Bai Qianqian added.
The two girls chatted excitedly, and the instructor at the podium was getting visibly annoyed. Could you at least pretend to be paying attention? Your voices are getting louder! Do I have no face as a teacher? You’re being so disrespectful to me!
However, after considering the backgrounds of these two students, the teacher decided to continue teaching quietly, knowing that there was no one he could afford to provoke. It was what it was.
…….
In the backyard of the Pokémon House,
“Mini-Ice! Ice Shard!”
Ouyang Xin’s usually clear and gentle voice was now filled with excitement. Mini-Ice floated in the air, emanating visible white cold air, and chunks of ice crystals formed, attacking the Cocoa Dora on the ground.
It was an Ice-type move called Ice Shard!
“Cocoa Dora, dodge!”
On the other hand, Chen Yun’s face didn’t look so good at the moment; not necessarily bad, but more like frustrated.
Cocoa Dora scrambled on all four of its hooves, trying to dodge the Ice Shard attack. However, since Ice Shard was an area-of-effect move, even with the intention to dodge, it was impossible to avoid all of them.
Ice crystal fragments hit Cocoa Dora’s steel armor, and although it dodged some, it didn’t react much to the ones that struck it.
“Is this really…” Chen Yun watched Mini-Ice float leisurely in the air with an expression that was not too pretty, not because it was unattractive, but because it looked extremely frustrated.
He was genuinely interested in Pokémon battles, so he had carefully studied all the information in the Pokémon Pokedex that Guxin had sent in the group chat.
According to the theory of elf attribute restraint, the pure ice-type mini-ice was actually restrained by the steel-type rock-type Coco Dora!
Yes, Cocoa Dora counters Mini Ice, and Mini Ice’s ice-type trick, boulder, doesn’t work well against Cocoa Dora.
So even if the boulder hit part of Cocoa Dora just now, Cocoa Dora was not affected much at all.
To put it simply, the mini ice was using boulders to scrape Cocoa Dora.
But the sad thing was that Coco Dora couldn’t do anything with Mini Ice!
“I must get a flying elf. Wow!”
Watching the Mini-Ice soldiers fighting infantry, unable to lift Cocoa Dora’s head, Chen Yun’s face turned green.
If it was Kira, at least he could use falling rocks to attack the Mini-Ice, but Cocoa Dora couldn’t touch the Mini-Ice because Cocoa Dora couldn’t jump.
“I surrender!”
The depression in his heart almost made Chen Yun’s mentality collapse, and he surrendered helplessly.
You have to get an elf that can fly. These damn ‘air soldiers’ are too shameless.
It’s too bad not to be able to fly!
