My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 214 Tibrim

After completing the registration procedures, Tong Hua, led by Huang Yao, arrived at the student dormitory area on the second floor.

To be honest, this teaching building occupies a really large area.

Inside the first floor, besides the dormitories for male and female students, there was also a canteen that could accommodate almost all the teachers and students of the school to eat together.

The person in charge of management was a plump auntie whom the students called "a busybody."

"Here you go, your keys and student ID. Don't wander into the girls' dormitory."

Both the boys' and girls' dormitories are on the second floor, with boys on the left and girls on the right, and there are no obstructions in between, except for a symbolic dividing line in the middle of the corridor.

Tong Hua took the keys and couldn't help but glance at the "meddlesome old lady" again.

She stood in the middle of the corridor with her hands on her hips, her sharp eyes scanning the students coming and going, like a sentry guarding the border.

"It's quite intimidating, isn't it?"

Huang Yao lowered his voice and whispered in Tong Hua's ear, "Don't let her serious demeanor fool you, she's actually a really nice person."

The last time I had a fever, she was the one who took me to the infirmary in the middle of the night.

Tong Hua nodded, her gaze inadvertently drifting towards the girls' dormitory.

Just then, several girls came out of the room together and looked at Tong Hua with curiosity when they saw him and his Riolu and Forest Lizard.

"So handsome!"

"What a cool Pokémon! What's it called again?"

"It should be Forest Lizard, one of the starter Pokémon from the Hoenn region. It's quite rare around here."

"Kuku".

The forest lizard felt a little embarrassed by their stares and quickly turned its head away, avoiding eye contact.

"Ooh." Seeing this, Riolu poked the forest lizard with his elbow with a mischievous grin.

"The shrine brigade isn't even here, why are you so nervous?"

"Partner, team up!"

The forest lizard's face instantly turned bright red, and it stammered, "Don't talk nonsense! Be careful what you say!"

"Hehe, just kidding. Don't be nervous, don't be nervous—"

Riolu gently pushed aside the forest lizard's leaf blades, a barely perceptible bead of sweat sliding down his forehead.

For a fleeting moment, the forest lizard actually got angry.

Sigh, being love-struck is truly terrifying.

Riolu silently complained to himself, then tactfully moved closer to Tong Hua, deciding to temporarily stop bothering his partner who had fallen in love.

Watching the interaction between the two Pokémon, Tong Hua suppressed a laugh and tried to smooth things over: "Alright, let's go to the dorm and settle in first."

Afterwards, Tong Hua followed Huang Yao's directions into the dormitory room. It was a spacious six-person room, where several early-arriving students were already making their beds.

"You can sleep in this bed by the window," Huang Yao said enthusiastically as he helped Tong Hua put away her luggage. "It has the best view and good ventilation."

After thanking them, Tong Hua began tidying up her belongings, while Riolu and the Forest Lizard curiously observed their new environment.

Apart from Tong Hua, the other children in the room looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old. Most of them were leaving home for the first time. Some were excited, some were shy, and a little boy was hiding under the covers, secretly wiping away tears.

"Huh?" Riolu keenly sensed the emotional fluctuations in the room and gently touched Tong Hua's hand.

Tong Hua understood and took out several packets of homemade Pokémon snacks from her luggage and distributed them to the children in the room: "Want to try some?"

I made it myself, and it's delicious!

The somewhat reserved atmosphere immediately lightened. The children curiously gathered around, and even the little boy who had been hiding under the covers peeked out.

"It smells so good!" A boy with a topknot took the cookie and eagerly fed it to Pichu at his feet.

"Picchu~" Pichu happily held the cookie, his cheeks sparkling with happiness.

"I really envy you all, being able to eat Mr. Tong Hua's desserts." Seeing the children enjoying their food, Huang Yao couldn't help but shed "tears" from the corners of his mouth.

"Have some too," Tong Hua said with a smile, handing him a portion as well.

Meanwhile, the forest lizard offered to help, carrying all the children's heavy luggage to their beds.

The forest lizard's muscular physique and its agile movements as it quickly carried luggage to the upper bunk drew gasps of amazement from the children.

"Kuku." The forest lizard turned its head away, feigning aloofness, but its tail wagged honestly.

Just then, light footsteps sounded outside the dormitory door. A girl with pigtails peeked in, holding a fluffy cheetah in her arms.

"Ritsumi, are you sure this is the right place?"

"That's for sure, I saw Huang Yao leading them here."

Several girls chattered and gathered around the dormitory entrance, all curiously peering inside, searching for Tong Hua, Riolu, and the forest lizard.

Just as they finally got what they wanted, a pair of merciless hands quietly pressed down on their shoulders—

"Visiting the boys' dormitory without permission will result in a deduction of academic credits."

"Please forgive us, ma'am, we were wrong!"

"Bribribribu~"

A pink Pokémon hopped along the corridor of the Ranger School, its pink curly hair, resembling a wizard's hat, swaying gently with each step.

Her big red eyes curiously surveyed the students and children coming and going around her, and she would occasionally hum a cheerful tune.

Although the school doesn't usually control the entry and exit of wild Pokémon, today's event made the control even more lax.

This allowed the little imp to roam freely around the school as if it were her own, humming a song as she wandered around.

Her name is Tibrim, and she is a witch who is currently on a journey.

Yes, the world of Pokémon is not only home to psychics who can use telekinesis and foresee the future, but also to witches who can actually use magic.

No one knows where she came from, and no one knows where she is going.

This mysterious witch often appears and disappears unpredictably, using strange magic to silence everything she dislikes.

Her purpose in traveling was to learn the magic that would allow her to transform into a human!

"Bri-Bri~"

To achieve this goal, she traveled all over the world searching for magicians who possessed the same magical abilities as herself.

Tibrim skipped around a corner, then suddenly stopped.

"Bri?" She tilted her head, sensing a faint fluctuation coming from the top of the stairs beside her.

Sure enough, there are people here who can use magic!

Following the direction of the magic flow, Tibrim tiptoed up the stairs and finally stopped at the top of the stairs on the second floor.

She stood on tiptoe and could just see the children gathered in the cafeteria, as well as Tong Hua and his two Pokémon surrounded by the crowd.

"Bri!" Tibrim's eyes lit up instantly.

She could clearly feel that the faint magic was coming from Tong Hua!

More precisely, it was from the satchel he carried with him.

Tibrim quietly hid in a corner of the corridor, only revealing her large eyes to observe the activity inside the cafeteria.

She noticed that Tong Hua seemed to have sensed something as well, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the direction where she was hiding, but quickly shifting away.

"Bribri~" Tibrim shook her curly hair triumphantly. It seems she really did come to the right place this time; her intuition is always right.

"We must find a way to get close to that person. Anyone who dares to block our way will have to taste my fists!"

Hehehehe!

Inside the cafeteria, Tong Hua frowned slightly, feeling as if a peculiar gaze had been watching her.

Riolu also pricked up its ears alertly, but the feeling quickly disappeared.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Huang Yao and Ritsumei noticed their strange behavior at the same time and asked in unison.

"It's nothing," Tong Hua shook her head, not taking it too seriously.

It was almost eight o'clock. After everyone had finished breakfast, the summer camp opening ceremony would begin.
