Pokémon: Just won the championship, the newbie growth system is here!

Chapter 93 Arcanine VS Glalie, do you really want to fight?

"Go! Ice Demon Guardian, give him a good beating!"

Ice Ghost glanced at its own trainer, Corsola, and then at Arcanine next to the trainer on the other side.

It showed its back, dripping with sweat, and it really needed to be used.

"Huh? I only have this one Pokémon. If you don't go, who will? Hurry up and go."

Coral waved her hand dismissively, her attitude as if her opponent were a nobody, someone she could easily and quickly deal with as if she were shopping in a mall.

Glalie felt like he was being roasted over a fire, and could only patiently muster the courage to step forward.

"Demon Howl—(Hit!)!"

"You seem to trust your trainer quite a bit."

Even knowing they can't win, they still have to take on the challenge; without trust between them, they wouldn't be able to fight so hard.

But can we win?

The Arcanine beside Ye Luo took steady steps forward, standing protectively in front of its trainer, its eyes fixed intently on the Glalie.

The overwhelming pressure emanating from that gaze made Ice Ghost and Coral feel as if the Arcanine had grown several times larger, and they were mentally suppressed.

Coral nervously swallowed.

"Why does that Arcanine seem pretty strong?"

For a moment, I felt that I might have picked the wrong opponent.

However, she only approached him because she thought he was capable and handsome. Her pride wouldn't allow her to back down. Coral's motto was "Together we perish!" The word "admit defeat" didn't exist in her dictionary.

"Ice Demon Guard, Crush!"

"Ghost howl—!"

Glalie opened its jaws, capable of crushing rocks, and charged straight towards Arcanine.

"Growlithe, Fire Blast, go easy on me."

The jaws that could crush rocks were powerful, but before they could even make contact, they were engulfed by the large flames that Arcanine gently exhaled. The Arcanine collapsed, its body emitting white smoke, and lost its ability to battle.

As expected, Ice Ghost Guardian fell.

"Get up, Ice Ghost Guardian! Stop pretending to be asleep!"

"Ghost One One".

Ice Ghost's eyes were swirling with swirls as it fainted. Coral kicked it in anger, but Ice Ghost's hard shell didn't react and it remained unconscious, indicating that it was truly out of energy.

"So annoying! You lost already? At least you could have fought back once."

Ignoring the unruly and raging child, Ye Luo turned around and went to the vegetable store to find plant seeds.

Vegetables and fruits are easy to find in the city, but no one sells seeds. He wondered if he should just buy strawberries, remove the seeds, and plant them in the soil.

"Don't leave!"

As a result, that brat named Coral rushed in front of him again, blocking his way.

Ye Luo suggested.

"You should go and heal the Ice Ghost Guard first."

"I've already applied medicine to its wounds, that's not the point. You're not allowed to leave! If you offend Lady Coral, you'll regret it—take this!"

Coral clenched her fist and punched Ye Luo with all her might.

The next second, a thud was heard. Instead of hitting Ye Luo, Coral's fist landed on Arcanine's rock-hard body.

"It hurts so much!!"

Coral cried out in pain, clutching her fists. It felt like hitting a rock; the pain shot through her fingertips, and she struggled to hold back her tears.

With her full strength, she shouldn't have been hurt if she hit Ye Luo, but Arcanine took the initiative to protect him and stepped forward, which resulted in Coral being seriously injured.

Ye Luo stepped forward and asked.

Are you alright?

"It hurts so much!" As soon as he got closer, Coral burst into tears.

Ye Luo calmly analyzed the situation and concluded that, judging from her loud tone and the occasional glimpses of her eyes peeking out from behind the sleeve covering her eyes, she was undoubtedly faking it.

Pretending to cry when you can't win, what a wretched child!

"You're faking crying, aren't you?"

"Wow, Coral ignored him and just pretended to cry on the spot."

Ye Luo and Fengshanggou exchanged a glance and decided to ignore it.

"Let's go."

"Chirp~".

As soon as Ye Luo left, Shanhu pretended to cry while tugging at his clothes.

"Wow, don't leave me behind!"

Ye Luo was speechless at this brat's behavior; she had never seen anyone throw such a tantrum.

As Coral Hootao burst into tears, the surrounding trainers and passersby turned their attention to him, and the curious stares of those who didn't know the truth made Ye Luo feel irritated.

[Such hasty syllables~.]

Meloeta, perched on her shoulders, commented that this brat was a bit too competitive.

Ye Luo also realized that since she couldn't win in Pokémon battles, she planned to win back the victories outside the arena.

If I don't let her taste the sweetness of victory, she'll probably keep pestering me.

Now you have two choices: walk away or pay up to avoid trouble.

Ye Luo really wanted to just walk away, but Shanhu kept pretending to cry while holding onto his clothes tightly, and his clenched fists loosened.

If the news that "the current champion of the Kanto region, Ye Luo, beat a little girl in the street" gets out, I guess all the newspapers in Goldenrod City won't need to look for any other gossip this week.

Ye Luo also had to consider her image; if she continued to cause trouble, the police might come. While Ye Luo was thinking, Shanhu offered a solution.

"I want to eat Shammy cake!"

"Sure."

"Really! That's great!!"

Coral immediately stopped crying. Sure enough, all her previous faking tears was for this purpose: if she couldn't win the game, she would make up for it off the field.

"Shemmed Cake is on 39th Street, which is exactly where I'm going."

Ye Luo didn't mind the noisy kids on the side; at least they were going the same way, and he had originally planned to go there to buy seeds.

I heard they have new spring desserts over there, and Meloetta wants to try them too. Ye Luo even wrote on her travel list to buy some to bring back to her Pokémon at home.

"Shami cake~ Shami cake~, la la la~."

Coral, however, walked ahead, skipping and hopping, and spun around.

"You rude handsome guy, keep your word! Buy me some Shammy cake and hurry up!"

Ye Luo walked unhurriedly, picked up his phone to check it, and said.

"No need to rush, it's a weekday today. Although it's a seasonal limited edition, it will still be available this afternoon."

"How annoying! So slow, move on! Move on!"

Coral is in the store now, raising her hands and complaining loudly.

"So why is this brat so rude?"

"Hmph! Coral-sama isn't being rude, Coral is just showing her personality!"

"If you misbehave again, I won't buy you a cake."

"Gurgle..."

Coral fell silent, feeling that this method was still the most effective.

[Shami Cake~Shami Cake~, la la~~.]

Meloeta began singing the same song on her shoulder. The lyrics and melody were the one Coral had made up, but after Meloeta's modifications, the melody she hummed suddenly sounded like a beautiful tune.

Although the desire to eat cake remains unchanged.

In a sense, Meloetta is as mischievous as coral.

Coral led the way, swaying slightly, while Ye Luo glanced at the map.

"Do you really know the way?"

"Huh? I don't know him."

Then you walk ahead just like the real thing.

The surrounding streets were plastered with flyers advertising the recycling of scrap furniture and the exchange of old refrigerators for washbasins. If Ye Luo hadn't glanced at the map, he would have almost ended up on 41st Street.

Turning back with Coral Text in hand, they turned left at the next intersection.

39th Street is a gardening street, and the flower shops also sell desserts, making it a mixed business.

The flowerpots outside the shop are filled with pink, six-petaled flowers, known as the Shemi flower (thank you). The flowers are also used as an ingredient in the dish. Shemi cakes, inspired by the color of the flower, are only sold during this season.

"You impolite handsome guy, come and eat some cake! The lovely Coral Lady is here to have afternoon tea with you, you should be grateful."

As they were talking, the waiter had already placed a cake made of red, blue, and white on the table.

"Your Shemi cake."

"Oh! Thank you!"

Coral used her fingers hidden in her sleeve to grab the spoon and ate the cake bite by bite.

The blue part is matcha chocolate, the white part is cream from Alcremie's with white chocolate, and the red part is chocolate dyed with Sheme's Flower, which has a faint floral scent.

It's called a cake, but half of it is chocolate. A slice of Shemi cake costs 6500 Alliance Coins.

Ye Luo took a bite and thought it was too sweet, but Meloeta loved it. She put the cake on her lap and quietly took a spoon and ate it happily.

Coral was enjoying her meal when suddenly her phone blared out loud rock music. Oblivious to everyone else, she opened the phone and video-called a calm-looking person on the other end.

"Coral, where did you go during the mission?"

Coral jumped up and popped a spoonful of chocolate into her mouth.

"Ugh, Onikis, I'm eating dessert, I don't have time."

hang up the phone.

The phone rang again after less than two seconds, and Coral opened it once more.

"Chao Yi is so annoying. Didn't I say I was busy? We can talk about it later."

"Hamber has notified us to return to base."

After the message was sent, the call ended on the other end, and Coral didn't even have time to complain.

"Ugh, Chao Yi is so annoying, even though I'm in a good mood right now."

Just then, Luo was looking at the menu, choosing which desserts to buy to take home, when she looked up and saw Shanhu wolfing down her portion of Shermi cake.

Chi Shou looked up and met You Luo's gaze, raising his hand in a dignified pose.

"You've offended Coral, don't think you can just let it go like this! I'm waiting for you to spit on me!"

After making those harsh words, the brat ran outside, took out a Poké Ball, summoned Glalie, and flew away on it.

She was surprised to see Tianya's departing figure again.

"The Ice Ghost Guardian can actually be used as a flying vehicle? Does that make sense?"
