The next morning, Chen Kai had to go to school.
Chen Kai had planned everything well: today was Friday, he would go to school to rest, and then travel during the National Day holiday to change his mood.
Perfect!
As Chen Kai stepped out of his house, he nearly stepped on something, but fortunately, the Grovyle behind him pulled him back.
Grovyle reminded him:
“Cha!” (There’s something!)
Chen Kai looked down and saw a very large, light pink egg placed in front of his door; he had almost stepped on it.
Chen Kai picked up the egg curiously, examined it, and finally turned his head to ask inside the house:
“Mom! Did you order eggs?”
Chen Ma walked out of the kitchen, also carefully examined it, and then patted the back of Chen Kai’s head: “What egg? This is a Pokemon egg.
Where did you get it from again?”
Chen Kai rubbed his head and said innocently: “Mom, I just woke up this morning, how could I get a Pokemon egg?
This egg was just placed at our doorstep.”
After listening, Chen Ma eyed the egg suspiciously, feeling a strange sense of familiarity.
Chen Kai shoved the egg into Chen Ma’s arms:
“I’m going to be late for school, I’m leaving now!”
Chen Ma barely managed to catch the egg; she almost fell with it.
This egg was unexpectedly heavier than she imagined.
“Xiao Kai, you…”
Chen Ma was about to lecture her son again, but found that Chen Kai had already run off without a trace.
She shook her head:
“This little brat.”
——
When Chen Kai arrived at the classroom for Class 1, Grade 11, it stirred up a discussion.
His classmates were all surprised that Chen Kai actually came to school.
Huang Mao enthusiastically came forward to greet him: “Kai Ge! I thought you wouldn’t come before the National Day holiday.”
Chen Kai replied: “Isn’t this coming to school to rest?”
“School? Rest? Kai Ge, you don’t know, do you? Teacher Xu has recently started official Pokemon training, and it’s very tiring.” Huang Mao’s eyebrows twitched as he sighed:
“You don’t know how much I envy you for being able to take leave.”
Chen Kai asked curiously: “How tiring can it be?”
Huang Mao seemed to recall something very painful, but in the end, he patted Chen Kai’s shoulder:
“You’ll know this afternoon.”
Chen Kai sat down in his seat, sniffing, as there seemed to be a foul smell.
And for some reason, the distance between the students in the front row and his table was a bit wide.
Su Yuexi greeted Chen Kai with an apologetic expression: “Chen Kai, hello.”
Chen Kai looked around while replying: “Hello, Su Yuexi, do you smell anything?”
Su Yuexi said weakly: “This… I’m really sorry.
It’s because my Oddish evolved.”
Chen Kai thought for a moment: “Oh! Gloom!”
Su Yuexi replied awkwardly: “Yes… yes.”
“That’s great, my Treecko also evolved into Grovyle.” Chen Kai released his Grovyle.
Grovyle enthusiastically greeted its old friend:
“Cha, cha.” (Long time no see, Su Yuexi.)
Saying that, Chen Kai patted Su Yuexi: “Let me see Gloom too! I haven’t seen it yet!”
Su Yuexi stammered: “But… the other classmates… they don’t really like the smell.”
Chen Kai clapped his hands: “Oh! That’s right, it’s human nature, then I’ll greet it during Pokemon training class!
But you don’t have to worry too much, I remember the smellier Gloom is now, the more beautiful it will be after evolving!”
Su Yuexi’s expression improved a lot: “Then I’ll take that as a good omen.”
Chen Kai asked: “By the way, have you decided which evolution stone to use?”
Gloom can evolve into Vileplume with a Leaf Stone, and into Bellossom with a Sun Stone.
Su Yuexi’s Gloom has the regular Chlorophyll ability, so it’s the same no matter which it evolves into.
The only difference is that Vileplume has stronger Special Attack, while Bellossom has higher defenses.
Su Yuexi looked troubled: “I… I haven’t decided yet.”
Originally, she had to worry about money; even the lowest-grade evolution stone would cost six figures, but thanks to Yelena, her parents recently got an extra sum of money and could afford an evolution stone.
But this instead gave Su Yuexi a headache; she really couldn’t decide which to evolve into, perhaps this was the 'agony of choice'!
“Yo!” Suddenly, an arrogant voice came from behind Chen Kai.
“Didn’t you like to hide? Let’s see how you hide now.”
Chen Kai turned around and saw that the person sitting behind him had suddenly become a white-haired foreign girl, it was Yelena!
“No, why are you here?” Chen Kai asked, pointing at her with his index finger.
“Why can’t I be here?” Yelena asked back, crossing her arms over her chest.
“You’re so old, you can still come to school…”
Before Chen Kai could finish, Yelena angrily threw a punch, wanting to hit Chen Kai, but Chen Kai reacted quickly, directly blocking it with an elbow strike.
Yelena was somewhat surprised that Chen Kai could block her; she, as an apprentice of the Sacred Swordsman, not only trained Pokemon but also practiced swordsmanship year-round, so ordinary people couldn’t take her punch.
But even if she had no advantage with her hands, she wouldn’t let up with her mouth: “Who are you calling old! I’m only 16 years old!”
Chen Kai pointed at the cool Aegislash behind her: “Huh? But your Pokemon…”
Yelena said indignantly: “Only Longguo stipulates that you can start as a trainer in the second year of high school.
And, did you see something the day before yesterday?”
Chen Kai directly turned his head away; the best way to deal with this white-haired girl was to ignore her, but he still thought to himself:
So only Longguo has this rule.
No wonder she didn’t appear when Iron Hands and Iron Bundle fought, and when Iron Leaves came to Blue Star; it turns out she was confined to school.
Yelena, apart from gnashing her teeth alone, could do nothing.
She had rendered meritorious service by helping to combat Southern Nation elements, and then spent some money to pull strings, finally managing to transfer to Zining High School.
At that time, Teacher Xu and the principal were shocked when they saw her and Aegislash!
Teacher Xu’s Spidops, even with double its HP, might not be able to defeat this Aegislash; and this foreign girl was eager to be his student?
This world is truly strange.
On the other hand, Yelena regretted coming to school soon after; evil otherworldly Pokemon had appeared on Zining Mountain again.
She even only found out yesterday!
And it was Lord Bili Jiong who told her with a disappointed expression.
Such is life, sometimes it’s just a matter of bad luck.
And now, the only thing Yelena could do was sit in the back row behind Chen Kai and keep an eye on him.
And throughout the morning’s cultural class, Chen Kai was actually dozing off the entire time!
It even made Yelena sleepy just watching him.
“Damn it!”
