The Rebellion of the Firefly

Did you win?

Even with their full attention, the students watching couldn't clearly see the clash between Ralts and Machop; they only saw Ralts throw a punch and turn the tide just as the outcome seemed certain.

But they understood that when Ralts used Fire Punch, the power of its increased power, strength, and might was something that none of the Pokémon present, including a student's, could withstand.

As the smoke cleared, Wanli, still shaken, gasped for breath on the field, the thin film of light that had enveloped him shattering and falling away.

"Was it contained?" one student said. "It's really too much of a stretch for freshmen to beat teachers."

Like a tightly stretched rope suddenly loosened, seeing that their wrists hadn't collapsed, Wei Xin and Ralts were panting heavily, feeling somewhat exhausted, not physically, but mentally and emotionally. After experiencing such a dramatic turn of events, they found it difficult to control themselves for a short period of time.

At this moment, Wei Xin was certain that the source of this strange power was himself. When his emotions reached a certain critical point and he was on the same wavelength as Ralts, he could inject his psychic powers into Ralts, greatly increasing the power of Ralts's skills.

However, this ability is too taxing for both her and Ralts; at least at his current level, he can't use it a second time in a single battle.

In this way, we can say that we have gained something.

Just as Wei Xin was about to raise his hand to announce that he and Ralts were one move apart, Teacher Wang raised his hand first: "It was Machop who lost. Machop just used Protect, which was his fifth move. According to the rules of Pokémon competitions, it was Machop who lost."

Laluras and Wei Xin had done their best, and the result was far beyond his expectations. As a teacher, it was not shameful to give way; it was also a way to encourage his students.

"Let's call it a draw. Ralts and I are too exhausted to fight anymore." Wei Xin also took a step back. The difference in strength was a fact. As a student, it's not shameful to give way to the teacher.

Moreover, he and Ralts still have a long way to go.

So, Huo Wen waved his hand and announced the result of the match.

"Freshman Wei Xin and Coach Wang of the university team played to a draw!"

Then came thunderous applause, devoid of jealousy or provocation, only heartfelt praise for the wonderful match, born from the Olympic spirit.

"Guangkuo-ge is awesome! Long live Ralts!"

"What do you mean, 'long live', 'thousand live'? Ralts is a girl!"

"The neighbor's Ralts has grown up, its strength capable of uprooting mountains and its spirit overwhelming the world!"

It would be great if we could get rid of this nickname for the groove.

Also, Ralts is less than a week old and can hardly be considered fully grown.

After the match ended, the teacher went to check on Machop's physical condition. Ralts rushed into Wei Xin's arms, and after being hugged by Wei Xin, she placed her foot, which had been kicked by Machop, in front of Wei Xin, her eyes filled with tears.

"Ralts~" Ralts grabbed Wei Xin's collar, buried her head in his chest, and made a soft, sweet voice, pitifully asking for comfort.

If I don't act cute now, I won't have another chance once the wound heals.

Who could possibly recognize that this was the same woman who just punched a 20-kilogram strongman flying?

"Okay, I know you've tried your best. I'll make you something delicious and give you a massage when we get back."

"That was truly brilliant command. No wonder you're the top freshman. Especially that last punch, it was really unexpected. Did you use your Ralts Ribbon?" Teacher Wang asked.

Wei Xin shook his head: "It's just a special technique."

"A secret transmission, right?" The reason it's called a secret transmission is because it's extremely precious and cannot be casually passed on to others. Teacher Wang showed a look of sudden realization and didn't ask any more questions.

Afterwards, Teacher Wang explained the basics of Pokémon battles to all the students and then organized them to practice battles. Wei Xin and Ralts, who had already demonstrated their abilities, served as Teacher Wang's assistants.

However, most students' combat skills are limited to "you grab me, I spit on you," and other than simply following the "dodge" command.

Some students even turned Pokémon battles into a dodgeball game. No one else, like Wei Xin, could impress people. At the very least, they were outstanding students with exceptional abilities.

There have even been instances where Pokémon have stopped obeying commands.

Huo Wen: "Fire-spotted Cat, use Fire Fang!"

Litten ignored its trainer's commands, closed its eyes, lazily scratched its ear with its hind leg, then yawned and lay down next to its trainer.

Most of the Pokémon provided by the school have been trained and selected by the breeding center before being handed over to the students. Pokémon like Litten, which intermittently disobeys the trainer's commands, are extremely rare.

Teacher Wang Wei: "Class monitor, your Litsea cat is not following orders. Have you looked into why? Is it because of a bad living environment, or because you haven't had any interaction with it?"

Huo Wen shook his head: "I've always taken good care of her, providing her with high-end Pokémon food and cat treats without fail. We actually have a very good relationship, and she'll lick me from time to time. It's just that I don't know why, lately, she seems to be acting a bit... capricious? She was fine when she first came."

Wei Xin: "That shouldn't be the case. Did you train him according to the methods the school provided?"

He wrote the method for raising the Litten. In addition to the information provided by the research center, he also added some other content as a way to deal with special situations.

The main focus is on being conscientious and responsible.

"Wait a minute, you just said that Lizard Cat likes to lick you, when did that happen?"

Huo Wen thought for a moment: "After dinner, after snacks, after a walk, I sleep with her at night, and she licks me when I wake up in the morning."

"Ah, I get it!" Wei Xin suddenly realized, "Fire Spotted Cat treats you like a subordinate, or maybe a member of its harem, which is why it doesn't obey your orders."

"What do you mean?"

Faced with Wei Xin's answer, not only Huo Wen, but even Teacher Wang was completely baffled.

Although some people have said that humanoid Pokémon and normal people may develop special feelings for each other, and there are even rumors that they can produce offspring.

But Litten isn't even humanoid.

Cats cannot, or at least should not.

"When felines lick people, it's not just a sign of affection, but also a way of indicating status and position. Every time you provide her with service, she licks you as a reward for her satisfaction with your service."

"So in her eyes, you are either her little brother, and how can a little brother order his big brother around? Or she treats you as a favored concubine, but the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so she is unwilling to take your orders."

"I see, it's a matter of status and position." Teacher Wang suddenly realized.

"The relationship between Pokémon and trainers is diverse, including that of coach and student, butler and lady, old retainer and new emperor. Different relationships determine how trainers and Pokémon interact."

Huo Wen asked, "Then what should I do? Am I supposed to use my good looks in every match?"

I beg you, the most beautiful and perfect Flame Cat in the world, please have mercy and take the enemy general's head for me, okay?

Wait, isn't the Litten Cat female?

Teacher Wang: "..."

You stinky mud, your words are quite funny.

"It's very simple," Wei Xin said, glancing at Litten, which had sneaked up to his feet and tried to stick out its tongue, only to have its tongue pulled back by Ralts.

He lifted her by the back of her neck and held it out in front of Huo Wen: "Why don't you just lick it back? Rebuild your relationship."

Use their own methods against them.

"Lick it back?" Huo Wen looked at the back of her neck, which was being held by Wei Xin. She wanted to resist, but she was worried that Ralts would be furious and cut her into mincemeat without saying a word. So she could only shrink her neck and pretend to be an obedient Litten.

"Does this really work?"

"Give it a try."

To prevent Litten from flying into a rage and shouting that it was an evil servant bullying its master, and then launching an attack on the trainer to prove its status, Wei Xin smiled and waved to Caterpie, who was lying under a tree not far away, lazily catching up on sleep after finishing its battle.

When he met Wei Xin's gaze, the green caterpillar looked around, looking completely bewildered.

Ah, you're looking for me? Chieftain, what do you think?

Chieftain: I enjoy watching it too.

Only after Wei Xin nodded did Caterpie turn its head, glance at its trainer who was fast asleep, and then crawl over to Wei Xin like a pupa.

"Could you please use Silk Shot on him?"

Upon hearing this, in Litten's bewildered gaze, Caterpie diligently spit out bundle after bundle of spider silk, completely wrapping up Litten, who dared not resist and could only meow helplessly.

Only its head was left exposed, completely unguarded. To prevent Litten from using skills like Spark or Flame Fang, a towel was found, wet, and stuffed into Litten's mouth.

"What the hell are you guys doing?" Firefly's little eyes were filled with great confusion.

"Now you can reshape your relationship." Wei Xin carefully handed the wrapped-up Firefly Cat to Huo Wen.

When it saw a large face sticking out its tongue and gradually approaching, Litten panicked completely!

What are you doing? Stop! Ugh, shut up, you bastards! Don't come near me!

She shook her head, panicked, and stammered.

I was wrong, I will be obedient, I will never rebel again, at least, at least cover my nose, he ate chive dumplings for breakfast!
