Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

"My master originally wanted me to stay at the dojo, but since you're also in the competition team, I thought I might run into you if I stayed at the hotel."

"Hehe~~, aren't I smart!"

Chi Duoduo put her arm around Mu Yun's shoulder, chuckled, and analyzed the situation with great pride.

"She is indeed very smart."

Mu Yun smiled and patted Chi Duoduo's head, praising her in the same way she had described.

"You've come at the right time. Would you like to have lunch together? Let me introduce you to my classmate."

"Is it that guy who's even prettier than girls?"

Chi Duoduo asked with great curiosity.

Because Chi Duoduo was a boarding student at Songjiang No. 2 High School, she didn't know Liu Jianhao and the others.

It was only mentioned occasionally during their conversations.

Of them, Liu Jianhao is the most memorable.

After all, it's not uncommon for men to have feminine features, but it's extremely rare to find someone with such striking good looks and a feminine voice.

To put it another way, if Liu Jianhao were to create an account on Douyin, he wouldn't even need to learn to use a falsetto voice. Unless he lifts his skirt, no one would be able to tell that he's a man.

Wait, why a skirt?

Mu Yun quickly cleared the strange image from his mind.

We've all been to the toilet together, this scene is just too weird.

"Yes, besides him, there are a few other people, all of whom are good friends," Mu Yun said softly, as if introducing friends to family.

"So, are there any pretty girls?"

Chi Duoduo suddenly asked a question.

"?"

Mu Yun was taken aback, and the images of Sun Xin and Ma Sitong subconsciously flashed through his mind.

Well, they're all pretty good-looking, especially Ma Sitong, who has a heroic air about her and has a bit of a female warrior vibe. It's just that it's kind of funny when she bites her lip and drops little pearls.

But that's about it.

Coming to his senses, Mu Yun replied naturally, "Yes, but my Duoduo is still the prettiest!"

He's not some blockhead; why would he say something so jarring at a time like this?

Most importantly, when he was a child, he teased Chi Duoduo and in return, he received an unstoppable hug (or bed hug).

If Duoduo hadn't been so incredibly strong when she was little, Mu Yun would have suspected he would have turned into Niu Er.

"Hehe~~, no way~~"

Upon hearing the words "my home" and "most beautiful," Chi Duoduo blushed and happily buried her head in Mu Yun's arm, gently stroking it, just like a fawn that had just been fed.

Soon, the two walked together to the lobby rest area, where Liu Jianhao raised his hand first to greet them.

"Brother Yun! You're impressive, you've been keeping a low profile!"

Ma Sitong also gave a friendly self-introduction.

Only Sun Xin silently observed the differences between the two.

Sun Xin: It's huge!

Everyone else is petite, so why is she so flat-chested (pouting)...

Unaware of Sun Xin's resentment, Mu Yun smiled and introduced the two parties.

Chi Duoduo, Liu Jianhao, Sun Xin, and Ma Sitong, four "women" with high looks, standing with Mu Yun, would make an uninformed person think he was some dashing playboy.

Sure enough, when other contestants from surrounding cities saw this scene, they all cast envious and jealous glances at Mu Yun.

Mu Yun remained unresponsive to this.

He had witnessed this kind of insight countless times when he and Liu Jianhao went out for a stroll.

They're not Uchiha, so even if their eyes turn red, they can't grow tomoe. They're nothing to be afraid of!

Soon, Wu Tu and Zhao Hailong also came downstairs one after the other.

Everyone was stunned when they saw Chi Duoduo with her arm around Mu Yun's shoulder.

Zhao Hailong was alright; aside from worrying whether the two, with such a large difference in size, could really make it work, he didn't have many other concerns.

Wu Tu, on the other hand, looked at Mu Yun with a melancholy gaze.

He's clearly the male lead of this action anime, so why did the second male lead get a love interest so quickly?

Could it be that...

He's the kind of hot-blooded, domineering male protagonist who doesn't get involved in romantic relationships and single-handedly defeats thousands of enemies!

Yes, that must be it!

Wu Tu quickly cheered up, clenched his fist, and lit a fire on his own.

"Brother Yun, what is he doing?"

Seeing Wu Tu clenching his fists and his eyes seemingly burning with fire, Chi Duoduo tugged at Mu Yun's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "I'm not sure what's going on."

"Well, maybe he thought of something interesting. You'll get used to it."

Mu Yun said that the inner world of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is like a stage play that can start at any time.

A short while later, the seven-person team walked out of the hotel.

Because the restaurant was quite far away, the group decided to take taxis in shifts.

"It's a pity I can't get the Elf Riding Certificate yet, otherwise I could have taken you guys to experience what it's like to ride a unicorn rhinoceros," Zhao Hailong sighed.

"Come on, the rhinoceros is so tough, you'd be afraid of hurting your anus riding it. If you ask me, the best riding elf is Ma Sitong's little pony. It's definitely more comfortable to ride."

Needless to say, Liu Jianhao was the one who refuted Zhao Hailong.

"If you'd like to try it out, you can come to my family's horse farm during the holidays," Ma Sitong said, not giving the duo a chance to "ask" for candy.

Although her family's horse farm cannot compare to the super-large horse farms on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, it is still one of the best in Songjiang City.

It contains all sorts of riding sprites, such as Ponyta, Zebra, and Mud Donkey, which her family has dabbled in.

"You can get used to the riding test beforehand," Ma Sitong suggested.

The elf riding test is just like a driver's license test; in addition to the theory test, it also includes practical riding of the elf.

Fortunately, most elves are quite intelligent, and as long as they can pass the theoretical test on traffic rules, they generally won't have any problems riding them.

"Holy crap, make way! Make way!"

As soon as the group stepped out of the hotel and onto the wide road, they heard a series of panicked shouts.

Looking to the side, I saw a creature about two meters tall, resembling an ostrich but with three bird heads, running around like a madman with red eyes.

It is none other than Dodrio, a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon that is extremely good at running!

On its back was a middle-aged man with a pale face.

At that moment, he was tightly hugging the slender neck of one of the bird heads, shouting loudly, seemingly to warn the passersby around him.

"Holy crap, has this Duduli gone berserk?"

Seeing the Duduli charging straight at him, Liu Jianhao couldn't help but swear.

Duduli is at least a professional-level fighter. Getting hit by that thing would probably be no less serious than being hit by a car traveling at high speed.

"Get out of the way!"

Mu Yun reacted quickly, immediately shouting and trying to pull his arm out of Chi Duoduo's arms to stop her.

But before he could exert any force, he felt a lightness in his left arm, and then a small figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was none other than Chi Duoduo!

Standing at just over 1.5 meters tall, she looked like a harmless, miniature figurine in front of the two-meter-tall Duduli.

They belong to the kind of situation where anyone can see that the two are not even in the same league.

"Oh no, Brother Yun, she's in danger..."

Upon seeing Chi Duoduo suddenly appear in front of him, Liu Jianhao instinctively called out.

However, what happened next was something he would never forget!

Despite her petite stature, Chi Duoduo showed no fear whatsoever as she faced the charging, irritable Duduli. Instead, her body tensed slightly, like a taut spring.

With a bang, the spring released the stored energy.

Chi Duoduo's slender legs, which were not much different from those of ordinary people, were like cannonballs, creating a gust of air and kicking Duduli's legs with unerring accuracy at a speed that was impossible for the naked eye to perceive.

Click~~

Duduli flew backwards.

The clear sound of bones cracking reached the ears of everyone present.

Zhao Hailong: !!

Liu Jianhao: !!!

Liu Jianhao opened his mouth wide and stared at Duduli, who had just been so aggressive, now lying on the roadside like a dead dog. For a moment, he was speechless.

Wait, what's going on?

Duduli was kicked and even fractured a bone?

After a while, Liu Jianhao came to his senses and looked at Mu Yun with admiration.

At this moment, Liu Jianhao's eyes no longer showed envy, but were filled with admiration for Mu Yun's warrior-like demeanor!

As expected of Brother Yun, even the partners he chooses are so unique!

However, Brother Yun can really take it...
