“Such a sneak attack! You ambushed my Charmander!”
“You're shameless! Why not face me head-on?!”
“Just hiding there and spitting fire, what kind of hero are you?!”
“Ahhh! Charmander, take that stinky fox down!”
The cute girl in the video was clearly losing her cool as the battle wore on. Chen Yun couldn't help but laugh at her flustered, adorable reaction. In the end, it was no surprise that Charmander was defeated by the Vulpix, whose trainer kept it at a safe distance.
At the end of the video, the referee sprayed some medicine on the fainted Charmander, bringing it back to consciousness. The girl then comforted her Pokémon, while also taking a jab at the fox and its trainer. The camera then shifted to the male trainer, who stood next to the beautiful and elegant Diancie.
“Hello everyone! Wasn't this ‘heavyweight' battle exciting? Diancie thinks it was an epic fight!” The boy spoke enthusiastically as Diancie nodded along.
“I bet many of you have questions. The competition in the video is called Pokémon battles. Trainers have friendly matches, guiding their Pokémon in battles. It's all in good fun, not animal fighting!”
The boy emphasized the last part seriously, clearly wanting to clarify any misconceptions.
“Charmander and Vulpix in the video are Pokémon, and if you want to have them as companions, or engage in thrilling battles like these two, come visit my shop! The address is pinned in the comments, and we welcome all interested visitors.”
“Goodbye~”
The video ended with the boy waving, and Chen Yun sat back, still grinning. The emotions of the battle had settled, and he found himself deep in thought.
“How did I do, cousin? Was my performance okay?” Lin Sheng proudly asked.
Chen Yun snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at him.
“Bullying a newbie girl, and you're proud of that? How pathetic.”
It was obvious from the video that the girl was a complete beginner.
“I'm a newbie too!” Lin Sheng retorted, dissatisfied.
“Alright, alright. Can your Vulpix really spit fire?” Chen Yun changed the topic.
“Of course! If it weren't sleeping right now, I'd let it show you,” Lin Sheng replied confidently.
“So that means the shop owner's words were true? There are other pets like that?” Chen Yun asked, now intrigued. A fire-breathing pet sounded pretty cool.
“Definitely! There are probably a lot more,” Lin Sheng replied, certain of it. He'd figured out from the Pokédex entries that the shop had plenty more of these amazing creatures.
“Though the pets there are expensive.”
“How much did you pay for your Vulpix?” Chen Yun inquired, remembering that Lin Sheng had asked for a loan earlier.
“180,000.” Lin Sheng answered honestly.
“180,000? Expensive?” Chen Yun was taken aback.
180,000 for a cute, fire-spitting fox? That sounded like a bargain!
“Cousin, I'm your family! Don't compare me to you,” Lin Sheng grumbled, feeling a little embarrassed.
Though his family was well off, he couldn't exactly ask his parents for that much money to buy a pet. Chen Yun, on the other hand, came from one of the wealthiest families in the city.
“Fine, fine. I know what you're up to,” Chen Yun waved him off.
“Hehe~ Thanks, cousin!” Lin Sheng grinned, clearly relieved that his cousin had given him the go-ahead.
“Do you think the shop's still open?” Chen Yun asked, his curiosity piqued by the idea of such magical pets.
“It's 9 PM, so probably closed. But tomorrow's Sunday, I don't have school. I'll go with you,” Lin Sheng said.
“Alright then.”
Meanwhile, on the other side…
“Aaahhh!!!”
Chu Kelian's scream echoed through the room.
“Jeni, jeni!!”
The previously drowsy Squirtle jumped up in alarm, looking around frantically. Earthquake?
“Keep it down! What's wrong with you?” Bai Qianqian smacked Chu Kelian's behind. Thank goodness their house had good soundproofing.
“Ugh… That damn shop owner, he upld the video from this afternoon!”
“My goddess image, it's ruined!”
Chu Kelian was heartbroken. She'd been ready to relax with some videos, but now the drama had followed her.
“Huh?” Bai Qianqian raised an eyebrow.
She grabbed Chu Kelian's phone and watched the video. Sure enough, it was the same battle from earlier.
“Pfft~” Bai Qianqian chuckled after watching, especially at Chu Kelian's adorable outbursts in the heat of battle.
Scrolling through the comments, she noticed the video had already gone viral, with over 30,000 comments.
“Tsk tsk~ The boss is going viral.” Bai Qianqian was taken aback by the overwhelming attention the video had gotten.
“‘Is it really not CGI?'”
“Pfft~ The pretty lady in the video is so cute, you can feel her frustration through the screen, haha~”
“Chu Kelian… isn't she from one of the top universities in Modu? I even searched her photos on the school forum to compare, and it's really her. But she lost so badly…”
“Not just Chu Kelian, Bai Qianqian is also there! She's the one watching, though. Just a few shots.”
“This girl is terrible, I could do better. How did she get kiteed by that fox?”
“Didn't anyone think Charmander was cute? And so tough, I love it!”
Bai Qianqian continued scrolling through the comments, most of which focused on the authenticity of the video, though many recognized Chu Kelian and her. As famous beauties from one of Modu's top universities, the two were well-known on campus.
But…
“Chu Chu, you're about to go viral.” Bai Qianqian patted her friend's shoulder, her tone a mix of amusement and sympathy. The video was bound to get even hotter.
Yep, she was going to be famous alright—famous for being bad at it.
“Ahhh! That damn boss!” Chu Kelian cried out in despair, waking up her Squirtle again.
How was she ever going to show her face in public again as the top beauty of Modu?
