Chapter 153: I Was Just Asking
The Girl choked on Bai Feng's words, and finally, huffing, took out a Poké Ball and released a Pokémon that looked like a teacup.
"Then I'll use this Sinistea as collateral. This is a rare Ghost-type Pokémon, one is enough to be worth two of your Pancham! Moreover, the teacup this Sinistea inhabits is a genuine antique. If you can really win it, then you can secretly rejoice!"
Sinistea didn't know what was happening. Its teacup-shaped Body clinked and clattered against the Ground, looking around with a blank expression, then got scared and hid inside the teacup with a "whoosh", disguising itself as a real teacup.
An antique, huh? Who knows if what you're saying is true. It's said that most teacups Sinistea inhabit are just fakes.
Bai Feng pouted and said, "Although I'm at a disadvantage, what can I do? Miss is a girl, so let's just do this."
[Angry Expression] The Girl was furious. She gritted her teeth and whispered to Bai Feng, "Don't think you can win against me just because you're an Esper."
Bai Feng just smiled without speaking.
His nonchalant attitude almost made the Girl explode with anger again.
Just then, the Girl suddenly pointed at Bai Ye next to Bai Feng and loudly declared, "You're not allowed to use this Gardevoir! It shouldn't be your Pokémon!"
I've really never seen such a shameless person, but Bai Feng thought about it and decided, forget it, let her be happy for a while first.
"Alright, if I don't use it, I don't use it."
The Girl felt her goal had been achieved, so she smiled very smugly.
"My Name is Sana, remember my Name! I'm the one who rescued the Pancham from your hands today!" The Girl proactively announced her Name.
She's really gotten into the role, there's no saving her.
Bai Feng spread his hands and said, "You don't need to know my Name. Sinistea won't remember your Name either in the future."
[Angry Expression] I don't understand why every single word this Young Man says is so infuriating.
This is a Pokémon Center, a place Trainers love to gather, so it naturally wouldn't lack Infrastructure like a Battlefield.
After the two stood ready on either side of the Battlefield, the onlookers nearby also gathered around.
Sana took out a Poké Ball and said with an expression that clearly said "I'm going easy on you", "I'm older than you, so I'll take a slight disadvantage. You release your Pokémon first!"
With a flash of Red Light, a majestic Sirfetch'd appeared on the field.
Sirfetch'd is a Fighting-type Pokémon unique to the Galar Region. It is said that only Farfetch'd from the Galar Region can evolve into this final Form after experiencing countless battles.
Seeing this Sirfetch'd, the other Trainers on the Arena Outskirts started discussing animatedly, because this Sirfetch'd was Sana's Ace Pokémon, having helped her win many awards in various Matches.
"Looks like Sana is determined to get those two Pancham!"
"That's really her style, she just loves bullying younger Trainers."
...
"Then thank you, Miss!"
Bai Feng let out a hearty Smile, but for some reason, Sana always felt that Bai Feng's Smile was a bit infuriating.
Bai Feng then took out a Poké Ball, and with a flash of Red Light, Heliolisk appeared on the field.
"Aibo~"
Heliolisk raised an eyebrow at Sirfetch'd, its gaze revealing disdain, which almost made Sirfetch'd charge forward with its sword in anger.
Both the Trainer and the Pokémon are equally infuriating!
The Ability Patch on Heliolisk's forehead had now been removed, and its Ability had Smoothly changed from Dry Skin to Solar Power.
What surprised Heliolisk especially was that after its Ability changed, it Discovered that its efficiency in absorbing Solar Energy and converting it into Electrical Energy had greatly increased!
This was truly an unexpected pleasant surprise. It showed that the Influence of Abilities on Pokémon was by no means limited to the Battlefield, but also permeated every Aspect of their Daily Life and Training.
Although the Ability Patch had been removed, the Power Anklets on Heliolisk's feet were still there, and Sana on the opposite side also noticed this.
So she said with a confident air, "You can take off the weights on Heliolisk's feet, so Others won't say I won unfairly."
Bai Feng shook his Head and said, "No need for that. If I lose, it's Sure to be my own fault."
[Angry Expression] Honestly, Sana felt she really couldn't say another word to that kid, or she'd be angered to death sooner or later. She felt like her chest was swelling with anger!
"Enough talk, let's start!" Sana said, flushed with anger and embarrassment. "Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame Miss for not showing mercy."
Bai Feng: There's no mercy between us...
"Sirfetch'd, Head-On Blow!"
"Ngeh~"
Sirfetch'd narrowed its Eyes, extended the leek sword in its hand forward, and the next second disappeared from its spot, turning into an afterimage attacking Heliolisk.
Bai Feng thought to himself: As expected, it has some Strength. No wonder it's so confident!
As expected, Sirfetch'd's attack missed. Its leek sword only struck an afterimage of Heliolisk; the real Heliolisk was already behind it.
Although Heliolisk was carrying weights and its speed was reduced, it was still much more agile than Sana's Sirfetch'd.
Heliolisk was bathed in Electric Spark. While using Quick Attack, it also used Magnet Rise. This Skill allowed it to glide in low Air and greatly reduce the Air resistance it encountered when using Quick Attack.
The next second, the entire Grounds were covered in golden Electric Spark. Heliolisk used Electric Terrain.
"Sirfetch'd, use Fury Cutter!" Sana shouted.
"Ngeh~"
Hearing this, Sirfetch'd thrust its sword forward again, arriving beside Heliolisk in the blink of an eye.
Heliolisk wasn't flustered. As Sirfetch'd swung its sword to slash, it lowered its Head, Smoothly dodging the horizontal slash of the leek sword, then quickly whipped its Tail.
Sirfetch'd's reaction speed was quite agile. The Instant Heliolisk's Dragon Tail whipped towards it, it raised its shield to meet it.
With a "bang", Sirfetch'd was sent flying backward. Although Dragon Tail might not have caused much damage, the knockback Effect it carried couldn't be defended against even with Sirfetch'd raising its shield.
Seeing Sirfetch'd fall to the Ground, Sana's Expression changed drastically. Before she could say anything, a Thunder Pillar descended from the sky, striking directly down on Sirfetch'd's Head.
Boom!
Thunder roared, and dust rose from the Ground.
"Sirfetch'd!!!" Sana shouted.
"Holy crap!!" A Trainer on the Arena Outskirts exclaimed in surprise. "I really misjudged him. This kid looks really strong! Sana isn't going to lose, is she?"
"Yeah, yeah, he's amazing! Where did this kid come from? I've never seen him before!"
"He shouldn't be from Wyndon. Heliolisk aren't common in Galar; they mostly inhabit the Kalos Region."
...
The Trainers on the Arena Outskirts were discussing animatedly, and Sana also started to panic inside, the confidence gone from her Expression.
As the dust cleared, Farfetch'd knelt on the Ground, leaning on its sword, covered in wounds, but it hadn't lost its Combat Ability.
Bai Feng smiled and said to Sana, "Miss's Strength is truly impressive! Sirfetch'd didn't even fall. Your little brother here is truly impressed!"
Damn it! Sana really wanted to curse. Was this kid mocking her? He was, right? He was!
"Sirfetch'd, use Thrash!"
Sana, exasperated and angry, shouted.
Sirfetch'd suddenly stood up, its whole Body emitting Blue Light. It rapidly swung the leek sword in its hand, creating gusts of Gale, and fiercely slashed at Heliolisk again and again.
Heliolisk kept shifting its Body, leaving afterimages on the Grounds. No matter how much Effort Sirfetch'd put in, it couldn't even touch a single shadow of it.
At this point, both Sana and Sirfetch'd began to become extremely agitated.
Just as Sirfetch'd was about to approach Heliolisk again, Heliolisk's Neck Frill suddenly spread open. A burst of Strong Light erupted, blinding Sirfetch'd in an Instant.
Boom boom boom!!!
The sound of thunder rang out. The next second, a Thunder Dragon descended from the sky, roaring and pouncing towards Sirfetch'd with bared fangs and claws.
"Sirfetch'd, dodge quickly!" Sana shouted.
But at this moment, Sirfetch'd had fallen into panic and confusion due to the darkness before its Eyes. How could it possibly hear its Trainer's voice?
With a scream, Sirfetch'd was swallowed by the Thunder Dragon.
When the lightning faded, Sirfetch'd fell to the Ground, completely devoid of Consciousness.
"That kid actually won! He's amazing at such a young age!" A Trainer exclaimed.
"Does anyone know this kid's Name? I have to go meet him." A Miss was captivated by Bai Feng's handsome appearance.
"This kid won't be bullied by Sana's Supporters tomorrow, will he?" Another Trainer said, looking worried.
"Come on, those people around Sana are just a mob. With this kind of Strength, why would the young man be afraid of them?"
...
Looking at Sirfetch'd lying motionless on the Ground, Sana said in disbelief, "I lost, I actually lost..."
"Miss!" Bai Feng Reminded her at this moment. "I won, shouldn't you give me Sinistea now?"
"Kid, what is your Name?!" Sana asked, staring intently at Bai Feng.
"Hehe~ I'm not telling you!" Bai Feng said cheekily.
[Angry Expression]
"If you don't tell me, I won't give you Sinistea!" Sana threatened.
Bai Feng shrugged indifferently and said, "If you don't give it to me, I'll just have to go find Nurse Joy!"
Hearing this, Sana's Expression finally changed. Reluctantly, she took out Sinistea's Poké Ball and fiercely threw it to Bai Feng.
"Kid, you just wait!"
"Hehe, thank you, Miss!"
Bai Feng took the Poké Ball and left the Battlefield under the admiring gazes of many Trainers. By the time someone chased after him, Bai Feng was long gone.
In reality, a group of people were already inquiring about Bai Feng's whereabouts near the Wyndon Pokémon Center early the next morning. Unfortunately, Bai Feng was already sitting on an Aircraft returning to the Kalos Region by then.
Public Transportation was certainly not as comfortable as Fu La Da Li's Private Aircraft, and the speed was much slower. A few days later, Bai Feng finally returned to Fangxing Mountain, covered in dust from his journey.
The Pokémon at Home were overjoyed to see Bai Feng return. They hadn't had a Massage for several days and had been thinking about it constantly.
Bai Feng was enthusiastically surrounded by the Pokémon, so he happily shouted, "Tonight, everyone gets a Massage together!"
Hearing this, all the Pokémon immediately erupted in cheers like a mountain tsunami.
Fuyu was also on Fangxing Mountain today. He was House-sitting for Bai Feng and was currently writing Homework in the Room.
After hearing the cheers outside, he guessed that Bai Feng might be back, so he quickly dropped the Homework in his hand and ran outside.
When he got outside, he saw that Bai Feng had indeed returned.
"Bai Feng!"
"Brother Dong Yu!"
The Brothers looked pleasantly surprised.
"How was it? Did everything go Smoothly?"
Fuyu was referring to the matter with Eldegoss and Gossifleur. He knew the Reason Bai Feng had been delayed and hadn't returned for these past few days.
Bai Feng replied with a Smile, "Everything went Smoothly!"
Saying this, he took out the Poké Balls of the Eldegoss and Gossifleur and released them all.
"Gossifleur~"
"Eldegoss~"
After coming out, the Eldegoss and Gossifleur looked around curiously at the unfamiliar Environment, unfamiliar people, and unfamiliar Pokémon.
"Everyone, this is Fangxing Mountain. This is where you will live and work from now on," Bai Feng said to the Eldegoss and Gossifleur.
The Earth of Fangxing Mountain held the dormant Power of Landorus and Enamorus, thus exuding an aura of Vitality. Eldegoss and Gossifleur felt it as soon as they came out.
Love at first sight was probably this feeling. They fell in love with Fangxing Mountain the moment they saw it.
"So these are Eldegoss and Gossifleur!" Fuyu looked at the group of cute Pokémon in surprise. It was his first time seeing them in reality.
"Mhm mhm~" Bai Feng nodded repeatedly. "From now on, the Orchard's Pollination can be left to them, and they're also very good at making Fertilizer!"
"Our Orchard is becoming more and more prosperous!" Fuyu felt a surge of emotion for a moment, and a sense of accomplishment welled up within him.
The Eldegoss and Gossifleur were welcomed by all the Pokémon on the Mountain. Everyone's warm attitude instantly dispelled all their unease and awkwardness.
Some arranged accommodation for them, some took them on a tour of the Orchard, some gave them Gifts... For a while, the entire Fangxing Mountain became lively.
The two Corviknight were also released by Bai Feng. As soon as they came out, they were startled by the numerous Talonflame. Fortunately, the Talonflame were very friendly towards them, and they quickly integrated into the group.
The only ones who seemed out of place were probably the Pangoro family. They huddled alone in a corner, completely isolated by everyone.
The Pokémon on the Mountain had already learned about the Pangoro family's past Evil deeds from Eldegoss and Gossifleur, and the gazes they directed at them were full of disdain.
In the Evening, Bai Feng performed Massages for all the Pokémon according to the Agreement.
Nowadays, his speed at giving Massages was incredibly fast. The Pokémon came out one after another, and when they emerged, their faces were radiant, as if a beauty filter had been applied when taking a photo.
A Pancham was very curious about what everyone was doing in that Room Interior, so it quietly called out to a Fletchling that had just come out.
"Hey, you there, come here. What were you guys doing in there?"
Fletchling looked at Pancham as if it were an idiot. It was annoyed by Pancham's arrogant attitude just now, so it flapped its wings, stirring up a Gale that sent Pancham tumbling several times.
Pancham: [Shocked Expression]
I was just asking!
