Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 260 What Happens When a Confession Fails? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

While staying at the Alliance Club until lunchtime, Mingyou obtained a lot of information from Du Ruo, who had gathered information about Meloetta's appearance at Blueberry Academy.

There's a lot of information to process. Du Ruo's club activity is scheduled to start this weekend, which is the next two days, so there's not much time left.

Given Meloeta's personality, being searched for by so many people would likely frighten her, and she might even run away from Blueberry Academy.

This was something Mingyou didn't want to see, but he didn't have the power to stop so many students from searching for Meloetta. Liking powerful Pokémon was a trainer's nature, and he knew that very well.

Therefore, he must find Meloeta before these students discover and subdue him, protect him, and help him.

This is the first competition he will face upon arriving at Blueberry Academy. Let's see who can outmaneuver whom!

After gathering the intelligence, Mingyou and Xiaozhao left together, but Ziyu did not follow. After hearing about the club's activities, she chose to join without hesitation and wanted to subdue Meloetta.

Ziyu, who is chasing after adorable Pokémon; Nellie, who is inexplicably envied and becomes her rival; and the obviously dishonest riddle master, Duro…

"On your second day at Blueberry Academy, you've already found three of the Four Heavenly Kings as your rivals."

Xiao Zhao shook her head gently. In the past, she would have definitely complained, but now she was used to it. Mingyou always got into all sorts of trouble, but his starting point was always to help Pokémon.

Perhaps that's why he was able to attract her?

Thinking of this, she recalled the incident from earlier, where Mingyou had spent the night in her dormitory last night and the rest of the Alliance Club had found out. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she slowly stopped, placing her hands on her chest.

"Um?"

Noticing that Xiao Zhao seemed preoccupied and stood motionless, Ming You crouched down, turned to the side, and asked with slight concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"no……"

Xiao Zhao gently shook her head, took a deep breath to calm herself, brushed a strand of hair that had fallen beside her cheek with her fingertips, and looked up slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of nervousness, "Mingyou, I want to ask you something..."

"...Go ahead and ask."

Mingyou straightened his posture and responded seriously. He was just stunned, not stupid. How could he not see the current atmosphere and what the girl wanted to say?

Xiao Zhao placed her hands on her chest, using a smile to ease her tension. Mustering her courage, she asked with a smile, "Um... I'd like to know, what do you think of our relationship? Does it really seem like we're a couple? It's not just one person saying that."

She finally asked, probably because she was eager to know the answer. Every girl at Blueberry Academy was more proactive than her, and she didn't want them to end up just being friends.

She knew very well that their friendship was now only maintained by a thin veil, and once that veil was pierced, the friendship would immediately change.

As for who should break the silence, she believes it should be herself. She doesn't like being passive. But even so, now when she thinks back to the day they parted, she realizes that such a good opportunity was missed.

She could sense that Mingyou's attitude towards her had gradually changed since their first kiss. Perhaps she was still worried that he would reject her, or maybe it wasn't appropriate to confess when they were parting...

Perhaps all of the above are clumsy excuses for her to hide her true feelings. At some point, she also became good at finding many excuses to cover up her true feelings. Was she influenced by someone?

But if we continue to make excuses to delay, someone else might beat us to it, so...

Although Mingyou had mentally prepared herself for the question, she still didn't know how to answer it when she actually heard it.

His eyes met Xiao Zhao's bright gaze. After a long silence, with the image of her constantly appearing in his mind, he took a deep breath and replied, "Do you really want to know? I'm afraid you might get angry..."

"Go ahead and say it! I won't get angry!"

Xiao Zhao stared intently at Ming You. No matter the final outcome, she hoped that their relationship would not become distant because of this, and she was fully prepared mentally.

Under her gaze, Mingyou, standing in the corridor, had already made up her mind. Rather than continuing to imagine without taking action, she might as well seize the opportunity and say what was on her mind now!

do my best!

"I actually already..."

Mingyou wanted to take this opportunity to confess her feelings to Xiaozhao and say what was on her mind, but accidents always seem to happen at the most inopportune times.

Before he could even utter the crucial word "like," a sudden commotion from nearby broke the tense, ambiguous atmosphere and drew his attention.

"Mengmeng!"

"Candy!"

Zhenyi and Tengtengshe got into another argument. Previously, when they were in the Alliance Club, because there were many people, the latter did not dare to make a sound and could only stay quiet and stick close to Mingyou, which made the former laugh at him.

But now that they're out here, and there's no one else around, Snivy is naturally irritable and doesn't know how to control herself. How could she possibly hold back? Since she can't take action, she might as well have a contest of who can curse the most!

"Stop arguing, you guys!"

Mingyou quickly stepped forward to break up the fight, while Xiaozhao stayed where she was, gently pursing her lips with a faint smile on her face, watching him jog away.

After spending some time persuading both sides, it was finally difficult to calm the two Pokémon down. Mingyou had a headache, so he turned around and walked towards Xiaozhao, who was still smiling, wanting to get back to the topic they had been discussing.

Unfortunately……

"No need!"

Xiao Zhao puffed out her chest, shook her head, as if she were sulking, which made Mingyou quite helpless: "Isn't she still angry!"

"Perhaps?"

Xiao Zhao chuckled, turned around, waved, and looked back at me: "I don't have class this afternoon. You stay in the dorm and organize the intelligence. I'm going to the Lianyi Town market to buy ingredients. Let's cook a big meal tonight, it's been a long time!"

"what?"

"Stop spacing out, you silly goose!"

Xiao Zhao smiled. Although Mingyou hadn't finished speaking, she had already gotten the answer she wanted. She had always been able to guess the answer by observing Mingyou's expressions, and the same was true now.

As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, reached out and gently pinched Mingyou's cheek, smiling as she said, "Wait for me to come back for dinner tonight~ Ponpo, do you want to come with me?"

She suddenly changed the subject.

"Mmm~"

Of course!

Staying in the dorm is too boring, and Mingyou has her own things to do and no time to play with her, so of course she has to go out shopping!

Seeing this, Mingyou reached out and touched the spot on her face where she had been pinched. She had finally mustered up the courage to be brave in matters of the heart, but she still failed. Fortunately, Xiaozhao didn't seem to care.

Hmm...you really don't care?

Mingyou had a feeling that the other person was intentionally changing the subject, but she wasn't quite there to think straight and couldn't grasp the crux of the problem.

However, since the topic had turned to shopping, he immediately raised his hand to speak, just like Zi Yu had done, and asked expectantly, "Can you make desserts? The last time I had desserts made by you was on Valentine's Day."

"Huh? You actually ate it!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao looked at him in disbelief. She had no idea what happened to the Valentine's Day chocolate. She thought it had been buried, but it turned out to have been eaten.

"You actually ate it! So... how did it taste?"

"It's pretty good. I don't know why the chocolate moves, but the taste is absolutely amazing. It's the best chocolate I've ever had in my life."

Hearing these words, Xiao Zhao was slightly taken aback, then smiled calmly, feeling a warmth in her heart. How could she not be happy to be praised for her dessert-making skills? Then let's make it again tonight!

They left the floor where the Alliance Club was located while chatting, and then went to the cafeteria for lunch. The news that Mingyou had come to Blueberry Academy had already spread among the students.

So much so that they were stuck in the cafeteria for quite a while before they finally finished eating and got away. Mingyou simply asked Xiaozhao to buy more ingredients so that they could cook in the dormitory without having to go to the cafeteria.

After the meal, Xiao Zhao left with Ponpo and the others in a good mood, while Ming You returned to her dormitory and began to organize information about Meloetta.
