Chapter 6 New Leaf Cat

Xia Chi's sudden end to the live stream left thousands of viewers in the chat room wondering what was going on.

Even with the screen black, the chat was still buzzing with discussion.

"If you say it's the last game, then it really is the last game?"

"They ran an ad and then immediately ended the broadcast. That's really disrespectful to Qishu, isn't it?"

"Even Masterball doesn't add time? You're something else, Prison Water!"

"I was thinking of watching a couple more games to learn this tactic, and you're already running away?"

"The guy from 'Prison Water' probably got challenged to a real-life fight because he used too many underhanded tactics, so don't worry too much."

"."

Xia Chi was not actually caught in the crossfire; the stream ended simply because it was time to go.

Although the live stream was incredibly popular because of Qishu, playing a little longer would have earned them a lot of money.

But he had more important things to do right now.

As expected, Xia Chi opened the window next to the computer desk and saw a light green kitten sitting upright on the windowsill.

It is one of the starter Pokémon native to the Padia region, Shinobi.

"Haki Meow, you're pretty punctual."

Xia Chi grinned and reached out to the kitten, but Xin Ye Miao nimbly crouched down to dodge her attempt to pet it.

"Meow Coffee!"

Xin Ye Miao, with her cat-like face downcast, looked at Xia Chi reproachfully with her intelligent, crimson eyes, as if expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Okay, I won't call you that anymore. Good evening, Xinye Miao."

Xia Chi sincerely apologized for giving herself a nickname, and then took the fruit salad that Chen Zhenze had brought over.

"Today's salad is a mix of oranges and apples, dressed with your favorite moo moo cream cheese dressing."

Seeing that Xia Chi's apology was sincere, Xin Ye Miao jumped into the room through the window and ate her dinner in small bites.

Because she is a "stray cat", Xinye Miao is somewhat thin.

The fur, which should have been clean and soft, was now stained, and there were several bloodstains along the edge of the dark green pattern on the center of the face, which resembled four overlapping leaves.

Xia Chi frowned and gently touched Xin Ye Miao's wound. The latter wanted to instinctively dodge, but relaxed when she saw that it was Xia Chi's hand.

"Did they fight those monkey monsters again?"

Xia Chi, who knew Xin Ye Miao quite well, asked.

The kitten, focused on its food, didn't look up, only giving a short reply: "Meow!"

Xia Chi took out a healing spray from the drawer and said, "Wait a minute, let me treat you before you eat."

Xin Ye Miao shook her head, feigning strength: "Meow Coffee!"

It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about.
Xia Chi pressed down on its stubborn little head with one hand and forced it, saying, "No, you have to spray it, or I won't feed it tomorrow."

Knowing the kitten as he did, he figured that if he threatened to withhold its food, it would just ignore him.

But if it's the one being threatened, it will obediently comply.

He grinned wickedly. "Xin Ye Miao, you don't want me to go hungry tomorrow, do you?"

Faced with Xia Chi's calculated move of "getting involved herself," Xin Ye Miao was visibly stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "Meow-fee."

Translated into human language, it would roughly mean something like "naive".

Regardless, it agreed.

After patiently and meticulously treating Xin Ye Miao's wounds, Xia Chi finally released its fluffy little head.

Xin Ye Miao avoided eye contact, meowed a couple of times somewhat awkwardly to express her gratitude, and then continued to eat.

Seeing the kitten eating so intently, Xia Chi couldn't help but smile.

------

Xia Chi first met Xin Ye Miao more than two months ago on the afternoon of freshman registration day. At that time, Xia Chi was strolling around the school to get familiar with the new environment.

As one of the top Pokémon high schools in the Donghuang region, Shanghai University's area is comparable to that of a small town. Given its vast size, the number of wild Pokémon far exceeds the number of people.

This was the first time Xia Chi, who had been studying hard in high school for three years, had come to such a safe place with lots of wild Pokémon.

So he got lost.

Okay, actually this isn't an excuse. The main reason is that Xia Chi has never had a good sense of direction since she was a child; she does have a bit of a terrible sense of direction.

If this were in my previous life, a despicable map would have solved the problem.

Unfortunately, the world's technology tree wasn't developed in that direction, so Xia Chi wandered around the back mountain of the school for a long time but couldn't find his way back.

The most desperate thing is that his phone ran out of battery and shut down at some point.

The sun in Shanghai in early September—those who know, know.

What's the difference between that and the Super Giant Hellfire?
Feeling hot, thirsty, and exhausted, Xia Chi once thought he was going to say goodbye to this world and go back to Earth to continue being a corporate slave.

Then he met Shin-chan.

The little cat who now has a good relationship with Xia Chi was quite aloof back then. If it weren't for how pitiful he was, Xin Ye would have almost turned around and left.

However, the kind-hearted cat eventually took Xia Chi back to the main campus, and then the two went their separate ways.

What else can we do?

Since Xin Ye Miao doesn't have a cell phone, Xia Chi can't leave it any contact information.

If you really want to subdue her, Shin-chan, whom you've only met once, might not be willing.

Besides, Xia Chi hadn't started live streaming yet at that time, and he could barely support himself, let alone raise another Pokémon.

However, Xia Chi and Xin Ye Miao's fate didn't end there; they met again just a few days later.

This time, it was Xin Ye Miao who was in trouble, and Xia Chi staged a heroic rescue scene.

The situation at the time was not complicated—

There are many wild Pokémon in the school. Where there are Pokémon, there is a world of its own, and where there is a world of its own, there will inevitably be factions and cliques.

Xin Ye Miao, however, is a maverick cat hero.

Unlike those Eevee pigs that were lovingly fed by female college students and turned into heavy trucks, it was not.

They don't huddle together for warmth or fight each other like Meowth or Aipom.

Xinye Miao roams the edge between the school and the back mountain, picking tree fruits when they are available, and absorbing energy through photosynthesis when they are not.

Grass-type Pokémon are unlikely to starve themselves.

Even with such a laid-back lifestyle, Xin Ye Miao still managed to make enemies with several super-male monkey monsters.

That day, Xia Chi stumbled upon their fight while he was strolling around.

To be precise, it was a one-sided bullying by the monkey monsters.

Xia Chi couldn't stand idly by while his savior was being bullied, so he intervened slightly.
They then called the school security team to stop the monkey monsters' bullying behavior.

Afterwards, Xia Chi took Xin Ye Miao to the school's Pokémon Center for treatment and then took it back to his dormitory to recover from its injuries for a few days.

From then on, the person and the cat became acquainted.

Later, through deliberate inquiry, Xia Chi learned that Xin Ye Miao actually had a trainer, who was a student at the Pokémon Academy of Shanghai University.

However, after losing a competition within the school, it was abandoned by its trainer for being "incompetent".

His experience is similar to that of the monkey in the anime, who was abandoned by Shinji and then accompanied Ash to win the top four in the Suzuran Conference.

However, Newleafy is even more pitiful, as it didn't encounter a redemption like Ash did.

No one wants to capture a Pokémon that has been abandoned because it is "incompetent".

Of course, even if it were possible, it wouldn't necessarily be something Shin-Ye-Nyan would be happy to accept.

Thus began its long and eventful life of wandering, which lasted for more than half a year.

until today.
