Wang Yi also knew there was no escape, as there were Psychic-type Pokemon in this world. After discussing it with Huang Mao at home, she decided it would be better to go to the Alliance Center and confess voluntarily.
Huang Mao was scolded a lot by his family, who thought he had led the good child Wang Yi astray.
Huang Mao cried foul, exclaiming that Wang Yi and Yelena were both girls, and they were closer, and it was they who took him to battle wild Pokemon!
But nothing he said mattered.
Fortunately, the Alliance Center took into account that both were still children.
Additionally, Chen Kai went with them and brought up Celestial King Liang, stating that Celestial King Liang was there to investigate Yelena, and that the two of them were misled by Yelena, which led to the incident.
The Alliance staff, after considering the circumstances, merely gave them a simple verbal warning and a minor fine, which would not leave a record.
Only then did Wang Yi and Huang Mao breathe a sigh of relief.
"Kai Ge? You even know Celestial King Liang?" Huang Mao chuckled from the side, asking fawningly.
"Not well, we just happened to fly back together from the Capital," Chen Kai said, arriving at the express delivery station to pick up his package.
The two crystal balls customized for Iron Bundle had finally arrived.
One of the crystal balls had white snowflakes floating inside, with a model made in Iron Bundle's likeness, depicting Iron Bundle arriving in a snowy landscape.
The other one was even more impressive! The model was made in Iron Leaves' likeness, with the green Iron Leaves standing on green grass, and pink petals floating inside the crystal ball!
If Iron Leaves found out, would it beat Iron Bundle to death?
But that was not something Chen Kai needed to consider; Iron Bundle was the mastermind anyway, having ordered the customization online using Chen Kai's phone, which Chen Kai only found out about later.
Huang Mao was still immersed in his fantasy: "That's great! Kai Ge, next time, could you help me ask Celestial King Liang for an autograph?"
Chen Kai rolled his eyes: "What are you thinking? We're only somewhat acquainted, and it's all because of you! Celestial King Liang and I were surrounded by Pinsir and trapped in the same car!"
What Wang Yi said was much more normal: "Chen Kai, can we train Pokemon with you normally? But don't worry, we won't go to wild Pokemon first!"
Wang Yi could tell that Chen Kai seemed very skilled at raising Pokemon; every time she saw Xiao Mei, she felt it had become so much stronger.
"Sure, we live close by anyway," Chen Kai readily agreed, as they would be classmates in the future: "But we usually train together in the mornings, how about that?"
In the afternoon, Chen Kai still needed to find time to visit Area Zero to earn some extra money.
"Okay, thank you," Wang Yi said with a smile.
Thus, with 5 days left until school started, Chen Kai continued his daily routine at the Botanical Garden, waking up early to do basic training with Xiao Mei and the Dipplin.
When Wang Yi and Huang Mao saw them, they also joined in for a run and exercise.
Afterward, they would spar with the two of them, though it was more like Chen Kai directing Xiao Mei and the Dipplin to help them train.
Name: Wooloo
Type: Normal
Level: Beginner (Chen Kai estimated around Level 14)
Ability: Fluffy
Moves: Counter, Copycat, Tackle, Defense Curl.
Wang Yi had recently been having Wooloo practice Double Kick, and since Xiao Mei was also there, she also planned to have Wooloo learn Thunder Wave from Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei was a bit confused.
"Roo? Roo, Roo?" (Thunder Wave? Doesn't it just come out with a burst of effort, making crackling sounds?)
Wooloo studied for a whole morning but understood nothing.
Chen Kai decided to let Miraidon teach.
Miraidon looked a bit troubled: "Actually, I haven't really practiced Thunder Wave much at all."
Chen Kai suggested, "Why don't you try teaching it, just to see?"
So Miraidon also practiced for a whole morning.
Wooloo's head became even more muddled.
Only then did Chen Kai realize that Miraidon's teaching style seemed to be stream-of-consciousness; it could really connect with Xiao Mei's frequency.
On the other side, Huang Mao's Pokemon could only take a beating.
He currently had two Pokemon:
Name: Dwebble
Type: Bug + Rock
Level: Beginner (Chen Kai estimated around Level 15)
Ability: Sturdy
Moves: Fury Cutter, Smack Down, Bug Bite, Sand Attack
---
Name: Geodude
Type: Rock + Ground
Level: Beginner (Estimated Level 8)
Ability: Sturdy
Moves: Tackle, Defense Curl, Rock Polish
His two Pokemon could only practice more with the Dipplin.
Big Boss and Second Boss, both over Level 20 and with Grass-type, beat them like a father beating his sons, making them cry for mercy.
After a few days of beating, Geodude successfully learned 'Rollout'!
Dwebble, when pushed too hard, even learned 'Fury Swipes'!
Their progress was much faster than Wooloo, who was learning from Miraidon and Xiao Mei next door.
So Huang Mao continued to have Dwebble and Geodude train in pain and happiness.
During this time, Chen Kai also trained the Dipplin. Big Boss tried for two days but still couldn't spit out Syrup Bomb, and Dragon Voice Encouragement was even more out of the question.
Miraidon taught for several days, and Second Boss roughly learned it, unable to guarantee using it every time, but having a fifty percent chance of using it. Big Boss, however, couldn't learn it at all and couldn't use Dragon Voice Encouragement.
Meanwhile, Xiao Mei, who had listened a few times from the side, actually learned it. Unfortunately, it didn't have enough Dragon-type energy, so it couldn't demonstrate it. Chen Kai estimated that if Xiao Mei evolved into Ampharos, it could directly use Dragon Voice Encouragement.
Chen Kai remembered that it took Big Boss three days to learn Lunge with a TM, while Xiao Mei learned moves in minutes.
As long as Miraidon taught it verbally and showed it a trick, it could use a move in less than an hour.
Xiao Mei truly seemed to be a genius.
Big Boss was very frustrated, so Chen Kai mediated, having Second Boss teach Big Boss the trick for Syrup Bomb.
Initially, Second Boss didn't want to teach; it had long coveted Big Boss's position.
Chen Kai talked nicely to Second Boss for a whole night, then got snacks from Miraidon for Second Boss. Under repeated 'bombardment,' it reluctantly explained the trick to Big Boss.
After two more days of practice, Big Boss successfully used 'Syrup Bomb' during a practice session with Dwebble.
However, Big Boss didn't control the force well, and the 'Syrup Bomb' completely enveloped Dwebble.
Huang Mao struggled greatly to pull Dwebble out.
"Kai Ge, can your syrup be sold for money?" Huang Mao asked.
"Huh! Can it be sold for money?" Chen Kai thought about it. Sweet syrup, as long as no Grass-type energy was added, could indeed be eaten!
But he didn't really want to eat it; this syrup was 'spat out' by Big Boss and Second Boss.
However, many people on Earth like Kopi Luwak, so this Dipplin syrup must also have a market on Blue Star, right?
A quick search on his phone revealed that indeed, many people liked this syrup for making desserts.
The price wasn't cheap either, several hundred per jin!
Chen Kai asked Big Boss and Second Boss how many jin they could 'spit out' in a day.
They indicated that if they had to specifically extract Grass-type energy, they could produce a maximum of one jin of syrup per day; more would harm their bodies.
Chen Kai had the Dipplin make a little bit, and he had Miraidon taste it with bread.
"Oh! So sweet! It's delicious!" Miraidon gave it a very high rating.
At dinner, Chen Kai also shared it with his family and Pokemon, and everyone gave it high praise.
Bai Lijuan said, "Next time, we can try stewing it with berries and syrup. It will definitely be great!"
Hearing everyone praise it, Chen Kai also frowned and took a bite: "Huh! It really is delicious! Sweet, with a hint of apple freshness!"
The two Dipplin complained:
"Dip, dip" (If you don't want to eat it, you don't have to force yourself. Plenty of people like to eat it.)
