“I really want to become a Trainer soon and have my own Pokémon,” Lin Junjun said, looking enviously at the Trainer badge in Jiang Mo’s hand.
“What’s the rush, you brat? You’ll be sixteen next year, and then you can capture your Starter Pokémon.”
“Ah, a whole year! It’s still so long; I really can’t wait.”
Lin Junjun looked dejected, then her eyes darted around, and she shook Jiang Mo’s arm, saying,
“Oh, right, Big Brother Jiang Mo, next year, can you prepare my Starter Pokémon for me? Something as cute as Pikachu, please?”
“Oh, so you’re already planning to fleece me? What, aren’t you afraid that the Pokémon I prepare will be vastly inferior to what your father prepares for you?”
Jiang Mo lightly poked Lin Junjun’s forehead. This girl probably didn’t know how good the Starter Pokémon her father had prepared for her was. Given her status as the future head of the Lin family, a Starter Pokémon was a small matter for her.
“Hehe, as long as it’s cute, that’s fine. And no Bug-type Pokémon!”
“Alright, then I’ll send you a Caterpie~”
“Big Brother Jiang Mo! You!”
Lin Junjun looked indignant, furiously pounding Jiang Mo’s back with her small fists.
......
“Who are you? How dare you bully Jun Jun!”
Just then, several bodyguards surrounded a young man who walked towards the two, his face filled with anger.
“Seriously, Big Brother, open your eyes. I should be the one being bullied, right?”
Jiang Mo looked speechless.
“I don’t care! Jun Jun is so angry; it must be because you bullied her!”
“Ugh, Lu Jiyin, aren’t you annoying? Who told you to meddle? And how many times have I told you not to call me Jun Jun? You’re just my senior!”
Seeing the young man in front of her, Lin Junjun rolled her eyes and said impatiently.
“Jun Jun, aren’t I just worried about you? Besides, this kid doesn’t look like a good person.”
Lu Jiyin said fawningly, then pointed his finger at Jiang Mo.
“Hey, kid, looking at the Trainer badge in your hand, you must have just become a Trainer today, right? Do you dare to have a battle with this young master? Don’t worry, for Jun Jun’s sake, this young master will go easy on you.”
At this point, Jiang Mo finally understood. People like Lu Jiyin had a well-known name in his previous life—simp!
He hadn’t expected Lin Junjun to have such great charm at school, but it was normal. After all, Lin Junjun was quite good-looking, the pure and cute type.
Lu Jiyin had probably taken him as a potential love rival and wanted to show off in front of his goddess.
“No problem, I accept this challenge, but a battle should always have a prize, right?”
Jiang Mo also wanted to test Pikachu’s combat power, so this battle came at just the right time.
“Okay, if you lose, you’ll leave Jun Jun’s side forever. If I lose, I’ll grant you one condition!”
Lu Jiyin was very decisive and immediately set the prize.
The Pokémon Center had battlefields, so everyone came here. Lu Jiyin immediately paid to rent a standard battlefield.
“Big Brother Jiang Mo, can you do it? Although Lu Jiyin is a bit annoying, his strength is not weak. He’s been ranked first in our school’s Pokémon Battle class for years.”
Lin Junjun tugged at Jiang Mo’s sleeve and whispered a reminder, knowing that her brother’s Starter Pokémon was just a Pikachu, and it was well known that Pikachu’s combat power wasn’t very strong.
“Don’t worry, everything is under control.”
Jiang Mo patted Lin Junjun’s head, then walked onto the battlefield.
Watching this scene, Lu Jiyin’s molars were almost ground to dust. Who understood this feeling of heartbreak? At this moment, he wished he could chop off Jiang Mo’s hand.
“Kid, I’m going to teach you a good lesson today!”
“Go, Growlithe!”
“Woof!”
As soon as Lu Jiyin sent out his Pokémon, Jiang Mo activated the “Pokédex” function of his Game Panel.
【Pokémon】: Growlithe
【Gender】: Male
【Attribute】: Fire
【Level】: Level 20 (Beginner Peak)
【Ability】: Justified
【Held Item】: Charcoal
【Skills】: Glare, Spark, Howl, Bite, Flame Wheel, Helping Hand, Agility
【Egg Moves】: Double Kick, Double-Edge, Morning Sun, Double-Edge
【Evaluation】: This is a Growlithe full of justice, possessing excellent bloodline.
Goodness, looking at these luxurious Egg Moves and hidden abilities, this Growlithe’s parents are probably not simple.
However, a strong opponent only makes it more challenging, and Jiang Mo didn’t show the slightest fear.
“This is our first battle. Go, Pikachu!”
Jiang Mo lightly tossed a Poké Ball, and Pikachu immediately appeared on the battlefield.
“Oh, so it’s a yellow rat that looks good but is useless. It’s really meddling for a dog to catch a rat. Growlithe, let’s finish this quickly and take them down!”
Lu Jiyin immediately mocked when he saw it was a Pikachu.
Hearing this, Pikachu instantly became displeased. What do you mean by a yellow rat that looks good but is useless? I am the Lightning God! If I don’t shock the crap out of you today, consider your bowels clean!
“Pikachu, strike first! Use Quick Attack!”
Jiang Mo made a decisive decision, commanding Pikachu to seize the initiative.
“Pika!”
Pikachu instantly turned into a white light, fiercely crashing into Growlithe. Growlithe recoiled a few steps in pain, while Pikachu used the rebound force to pull away.
The speed of this combo was so fast that neither Lu Jiyin nor Growlithe reacted.
“Growlithe, don’t panic! Use Agility to approach, then use Double-Edge!”
Lu Jiyin instantly realized that this Pikachu was probably not weak, and he adjusted his mindset as he commanded.
Growlithe howled, its head condensing Rock-type energy, and it quickly approached Pikachu.
“Keep your distance! Use Double Team!”
Jiang Mo said unhurriedly.
Pikachu instantly split into several clones, and Growlithe’s Double-Edge directly hit an illusion!
“Growlithe, to the left! Quickly use Spark!”
Lu Jiyin’s observation skills were still good, but whether Growlithe could react in time was another matter.
“Fake Out!”
Pikachu understood, and with a “slap,” it slapped Growlithe on the forehead, sending Growlithe flying.
“Growlithe, don’t panic! Use Morning Sun!”
“Woof!”
Growlithe glowed with a faint golden light, instantly restoring half of its stamina.
“Sure enough, healing is disgusting.”
Jiang Mo inwardly complained, but still commanded Pikachu to use Thunder Shock, seizing the opportunity.
“Hold on! Use Double Kick!”
Lu Jiyin made a decisive decision, choosing to tank the hit.
Growlithe took a Thunder Shock, then used Double Kick on Pikachu and successfully landed the hit.
Pikachu was instantly kicked away, but at this moment, a burst of electric Sparks suddenly appeared on Growlithe’s body.
“The game is over… Pikachu, use Volt Tackle!”
Jiang Mo smiled slightly. In that situation just now, Growlithe was clearly hit. Pikachu’s Static ability successfully paralyzed Growlithe the moment of contact.
“Pika Pika, Chuuu!”
“Growlithe, dodge quickly!”
Lu Jiyin shouted anxiously.
But unfortunately, Growlithe must not have learned this god-tier move. Pikachu’s Volt Tackle successfully hit, and Growlithe was sent flying backward, falling into a coma.
At this point, the victor was decided.
