Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

Bian Xiang genuinely had no idea; he simply thought it was just a young girl's apology. Little did he know that this young girl was the first heir of the Carnation Family, and that the Carnation Family's influence could allow Bian Xiang to lie low from now on until he dies.

Bianxiang thought that attending school for two consecutive days was already quite diligent, so to reward himself, he decided to skip class today.

I'll also avoid that rich girl; I won't see her tomorrow. Perfect!

"Tap tap tap."

There were footsteps behind me.

He stopped and turned to look at the girl following behind him.

"Vigus, didn't you promise to attend class properly all day?"

"En~"

A smile appeared on Vigus's face.

"My first day of class was all about exploring Springfield with you."

...Can it really be like this?

"Come with me~"

Bian Xiang led Vigus to a map.

"Well, actually, there's not much to see at Haruno Junior High School, so I'll just give you a brief overview."

"This is a stadium! There's nothing to see here!"

"This is a library! It smells musty all over!"

"This is the arena! It's full of newbies!"

"This is a swimming pool! The water's all green!"

...

"The most important thing about coming to Chunye is to experience the cultural atmosphere and school spirit."

"So you'd better hurry up and go to class. Teacher Du's class is quite like Haruno's style."

Vigus tilted her head and looked on, thinking.

Hmm... why does this guy seem a little disgusted with me?

The young girl felt a little hurt. She was from the Carnation Family, Miss Vigus!

"Okay, then. I'll go back and tell my father that the facilities at Haruno Middle School are terrible and I can't stand it, so I'll go back first."

Damn, if the principal didn't skin me alive, that would be a different kind of historical record for the school.

"I'm sorry, I actually had something else to do today and already took the day off, so I'm in a bit of a rush."

"Is there anything I can help with? If I can, please."

Vigus looked at him with concern and thought.

Ugh, this lady is so difficult to deal with.

I decided to tell the truth.

"Okay, actually I'm planning to skip class."

"Skip class? Can I take you with me?"

At that moment, Vigus's eyes were shining.

Obsession: Helping the girl in front of me skip class.

Skipping class can be an obsession? How persistent is this girl in skipping class? It's a waste not to take advantage of this kind of Buddhist-like dedication!

"Okay, come with me."

Bian Xiang grabbed Vigus's hand and led her to the school gate.

Vigus blushed as she looked at the hand that was thinking.

Countless television images flashed through my mind, giving me a strange feeling and making my head spin.

"All right!"

???

“I told them we’ve already skipped class, and we’re outside the school gate now.”

???

"Just walk out like that?"

"Okay, go outside."

While thinking, I also greeted the security guard.

"Master Zhao, please go out for a moment."

"Oh~"

The gatekeeper didn't even look up from his newspaper.

Vigus stood blankly outside the school gate, staring at the sign for Chunye Middle School.

Crack, something broke.

It mingled with his shattered worldview.

That was my teenage dream.

When I think about how many things I've broken these past few days, I realize...

"You've skipped class, shouldn't you go home now?"

"I'm sticking with you today!"

???

Chapter 81 The Battle at the School Gate

Complete the obsession: Vigus skips class (Buddhist virtue value: 50 points)

"You've skipped class, shouldn't you go home now?"

Vigus puffed out her cheeks and said, "I'm sticking with you today!"

???

"As the eldest daughter of the Carnation family, shouldn't you set a good example? On your first and last day as an exchange student, shouldn't you leave a good impression on your classmates? You just experienced it for a bit, but if you really want to skip class with me, how can you face your father who worked so hard to send you here to study? How can you face your mother who washes dishes and does laundry every day? How can you face the butler who drives you around every day? Won't your family cry at home if they see you like this?"

Vigus blushed slightly at the beginning. It was indeed not a good idea to skip class on the first day here, just to seek psychological thrills. Should she just go back like this?

But as she thought about what happened next... the more she listened, the more awkward it felt. She had told her dad when she came here, and it was all done by Master Fu. She had originally planned to come alone, but Master Fu insisted on coming along. As for her mom... Vigus had never seen her mom wash dishes before, so she couldn't imagine it at all. As for wiping away tears, probably no one but Master Fu would be sad for her.

Vigus now realized that this guy just wanted to get rid of her!

It must be at the Kikyo Gym! Vigus could see the fighting spirit lurking in her mind; she said she didn't care, but she was really thinking about it.

However, it's a real shame to switch places. This is a very rare opportunity. Even in the Carlos region, Vigus has to make an appointment by phone in advance if she wants to fight the Gym Leader. This guy is a battle maniac at heart.

"I know! You're just upset that your chance was taken away, right? I'll make it up to you and we'll play a round together!"

Vigus looked on and thought to herself.

"If your Pokémon were to battle the Gym Leader right now, it would be almost as good as mine. Don't worry, I won't use Kirlia. Using Kirlia would be too unfair to you."

What's wrong with this old lady's thought process? How did she suddenly bring up the battle and even bully me? Her expression turned strange as she thought about it.

Seeing Bian Xiang's expression, Vigus smiled: "Don't be unconvinced. This is for your own good. My Kirlia is very strong. If it were to face your Snow Child, given the Snow Child's level of training, your chances of winning would be very small. So, to be fair, I will switch to another one."

"Of course I'm not underestimating you, my second Pokémon is also very strong!"

However, Bian never refuses to fight as a trainer.

"Alright, let's have a match right here!"

"Here?? Fight here??"

Vigus looked at the entrance of Springfield School.

"Aren't you going in? Is there a temporary referee?"

At this moment, Mr. Zhao, the security guard, put down his newspaper and slowly stood up.

He opened the wardrobe, changed into a temporary referee's uniform, and slowly walked out with his referee badge.

Vigus stared blankly as Master Zhao walked to the center and observed the situation on both sides.

"I declare that the battlefield is in good condition and there are no problems."

"The two sides will engage in one-on-one combat, with Zhao Yifeng as the temporary referee."

Is this the profound cultural heritage of Chunye that Bian was trying to describe? Even the security guard at the entrance has a temporary referee's certificate?

A game to be played at the school gate?

Scenes from various movies and TV series flashed through my mind again.

There's a sense of destiny about this place.
