NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 14 - You are a male fox
Chapter 14 -You are a male fox
“Hehe~ Who knows if it’s real? You can’t find any information about Squirtle and the others online.”
Chu Kelian shrugged, but her comment was quite casual. She had asked all the questions she wanted to know.
“Boss, can you guarantee the safety and health of the Pokémon in these battles?”
Chu Kelian blinked her clear eyes, seeking confirmation from Guxin once again.
“Chu Kelian, you don’t want your Charmander to fight, do you?”
Hearing this, Bai Qianqian was stunned. She looked surprised as she questioned Chu Kelian.
“I’m just curious. Besides, if safety can be assured, it shouldn’t… have any negative effects, right?”
Chu Kelian felt a bit uncertain. After all, the concept of Pokémon battles was still very unfamiliar to them. But she was truly curious. Being a determined girl, she was naturally interested in this completely mysterious world of Pokémon battles.
“Safety isn’t something you need to worry about. Pokémon have a unique mechanism to protect themselves.”
Guxin explained further. “Pokémon have special physiques. As long as their stamina isn’t exhausted to the extreme, no matter how many hits they take, they’ll enter a state where they can no longer battle.”
“This state of being unable to battle determines the winner. If a Pokémon doesn’t receive severe additional attacks after incapacitating, its life will be protected.”
However, this was all relative. Over time, even without battling, Pokémon could still accumulate hidden injuries. But these injuries could be avoided with proper care, which ultimately depended on how capable a Trainer was.
“I also want to emphasize that Pokémon battles are friendly competitions, like sports matches. They strictly prohibit malicious attacks against opponents.”
Guxin spoke seriously. Although he wished to promote Pokémon battles, he didn’t want to see any malicious harm come to the Pokémon.
“If it’s truly just friendly competition in pursuit of victory, then it might not be so bad.”
Bai Qianqian considered carefully, and her acceptance of the concept of Pokémon battles increased a bit. But…
She glanced at Squirtle. Hmmm, would this adorable and naive creature be able to defeat opponents? With just its little Water Gun? Or would Squirtle have to jump on them and bite?
The mental image of Squirtle climbing onto Charmander and biting its head flashed through Bai Qianqian’s mind. She couldn’t help but shiver. That image was just too bizarre and creepy!
“My little fox is a little fairy. I won’t let her battle.”
Lin Sheng held Vulpix a bit tighter. Although he was very intrigued by Pokémon battles, he couldn’t bear to let his precious Vulpix go into battle. What if she got hurt? The mere thought was painful.
At Lin Sheng’s comment, Guxin’s expression froze for a moment. Then he looked at Lin Sheng with an odd expression.
“Um… sir, your Vulpix is male.”
Guxin kindly reminded Lin Sheng. His face was a mix of awkwardness and concern. Could this customer have some misconceptions about Vulpix? People shouldn’t, or at least they shouldn’t be like that!
Lin Sheng’s expression instantly stiffened.
“Male…?”
He looked down at Vulpix, still yawning cutely. So adorable, yet it was a male?
Oh my… Does that mean his cute little Vulpix could evolve into a male Ninetales?
“Uh…?”
Lin Sheng’s mind was filled with a mess of thoughts and emotions.
Nine-Tails was unaware of how heartbroken her Trainer was. She blinked her large eyes and looked at Lin Sheng in confusion, emitting a soft sound to express her puzzlement.
“Hehe~”
Seeing this, Bai Qianqian and Chu Kelian couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Well, boss, how can we make Charmander grow faster?”
Seeing Lin Sheng lost in thought, Chu Kelian thought momentarily and turned to Guxin for advice.
“During normal days, let it be active, ensure proper nutrition, and engage in some training.”
Guxin replied with a light smile. Nurturing Pokémon involved various aspects.
“Um, training, huh?”
Chu Kelian pondered, unsure how to go about training.
Should they exercise the body?
“Or engaging in battles more often would work. Battling would allow you and your Pokémon to gain more experience and lessons.”
Guxin suggested to Chu Kelian. In a way, battles were the best way to make progress!
“Battles…”
Chu Kelian’s eyes lit up as she looked at her best friend, Bai Qianqian.
Yes, in the end, she would need to try battling to understand how it worked. After all, she wanted to experience it!
“Well, I…”
Bai Qianqian naturally understood Chu Kelian’s intention but still hesitated and struggled.
“Allow me, miss. I’ll be your opponent!”
Suddenly, Lin Sheng’s voice rang out.
Guxin and the others looked at Lin Sheng with surprise and curiosity.
Well, just a minute ago, this kid had firmly stated that he wouldn’t let his Vulpix battle.
“I’m a professional gamer! My Vulpix can do it too!”
Lin Sheng looked determined!
Since Vulpix was male, there was no need for hesitation. He was going to make Vulpix the strongest and most handsome fox!
Let’s get fired up!
“Sure, come on. My Charmander won’t lose to a fox.”
Seemingly inspired by Lin Sheng’s fighting spirit, Chu Kelian’s enthusiasm was equally high.
Of course, how could she lose? Her Charmander was a dragon! It could not lose to a fox with six tails, right?
Hmm, Chu Kelian conveniently ignored the fact that Charmander was currently just a little red lizard.
“If both customers are interested, I’ll provide the arena.”
Seeing the customers excited, Guxin was naturally pleased. He smiled and offered to set up the arena.
Well~ This was the first Pokémon battle in this world! Such a memorable moment!
Yeah, he must have Diancie record it with a camera and upload it to Bilibili for advertisement.
He was truly a genius!
