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

"Brother Yun, over here!"

In front of the gate of Jinlun Garden residential complex, a "pretty girl" dressed in a white shirt, white casual shorts, and white sneakers was shouting loudly.

Bathed in sunlight, "she" had delicate features and fair skin that seemed to glow. Her long, straight legs attracted the attention of countless lecherous men.

The only thing that made Lao Se Pi's life less than perfect was that the airport was too flat. Could it be that there were really people who didn't have any bumps at all?

However, considering her face and legs, it's not unacceptable.

It's just that Mu Yun can't hear what those old perverts are thinking, otherwise he would definitely tell them that this "beauty" is a fucking man, a man!!

It would be strange if the men were upset!

"Jianhao, you seem to have gotten even more handsome." Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of a group of old geezers, Mu Yun chuckled and put his arm around Liu Jianhao's shoulder.

"Didn't you say you were going to work out during summer vacation? I can't tell." As he spoke, Mu Yun pinched his exposed forearm.

His muscles were limp and weak, nothing compared to the firm, muscular muscles he had developed through rigorous aerobics training.

"Don't even mention it, Yun-ge. I've been lifting weights every day since summer vacation, eating nothing but boiled chicken breast and drinking nothing but Moo Moo milk, and as a result, my arms haven't gotten thicker, my pecs haven't grown, but I've managed to get my abs to show."

"Can you take a look and see if there's something wrong with my training?" While pouring out his grievances, Liu Jianhao unbuttoned his shirt, wanting his best buddy Mu Yun, whose muscles were incredibly defined, to take a look at him.

Her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, giving her a pitiful look.

"Hey, wait, wait, why take off your clothes outside? Let's talk about it inside."

Mu Yun quickly pressed down on Liu Jianhao's hand as he unbuttoned his shirt. Although his best friend was a man and he wasn't afraid to look, looking at his face, he still felt it was a little strange for the other person to be exposing his skin.

Dude, don't you know that even handsome guys need to protect themselves when they're out in public?

"That works too. The newbie battle arena also has a gym. Once you get a monthly battle pass, you can use all the facilities for free." Liu Jianhao didn't insist and nodded.

Amidst the regretful yet envious gazes of a group of seasoned veterans, Mu Yun and Liu Jianhao entered the newbie battle arena.

Welcome!

The receptionist was a young woman with delicate features and a sweet voice.

In places that cater to young people, the receptionists are usually quite good-looking. With a little makeup, a slightly affected voice, and a generous and outgoing demeanor, plenty of young men flock in.

Unfortunately, thanks to the warm hospitality of his many generous teachers, Mu Yun had long since transcended such low-level interests, which at most amounted to a fraction of what he had.

As for Liu Jianhao, he once said that he must find a partner who looks better than him in women's clothing in the future, otherwise he might as well stay single.

At the time, Mu Yun was very curious. Didn't you say you were a pure-blooded true man? How come you have a fetish for cross-dressing?

Liu Jianhao said that he was forced into this state by his older sister when he was a child. Although they were siblings, his sister was a woman, but she was quite strong and more like a man than him, a real man.

"We'd like to get a monthly pass. Is there a discount for two people?" Liu Jianhao asked as he stepped forward.

Although he was rich and didn't need the money, his best friend wasn't well-off, so he had to argue his case and save every penny he could.

Believe it or not, since he developed the habit of saving money, the money in his wallet has never suddenly disappeared again, which is great!

"Yes, ma'am, couples here get an additional 10% discount on top of the existing discount," the receptionist said with a sweet smile.

"Sorry, I'm a man."

Liu Jianhao, who was already used to being mistaken for the wrong gender, explained calmly.

"what?"

The receptionist's smile froze, clearly overwhelmed. Fortunately, she quickly recovered and apologized, "I'm so sorry, sir, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful..."

"Okay, none of that matters. Is there a discount for non-couples booking together?"

Yes, yes!

With Liu Jianhao's intervention, two cheaper monthly cards were quickly obtained.

Within 30 days, you can use the battle arena 100 times for free, and during the same period, you can access all the fitness facilities in the newbie battle arena, including the swimming pool, for a very reasonable price of only 5,000 Alliance Coins.

Keep in mind that maintaining and repairing the battlefield is not cheap; on average, it only costs 50 Alliance Coins per battle, which is practically dirt cheap.

"As a long-established chain brand, Mengxin Battle Hall has its own professional repair team. In addition, the damage caused by new players' battles is small, so the cost itself is not high." Liu Jianhao explained as they walked inside.

Mu Yun understood.

Although his best friend's academic performance was slightly worse than his, he knew a lot of things that Mu Yun didn't know because of his family background.

That was also one of the reasons that initially made him more determined to choose to be a breeder rather than a trainer.

As you walk through the corridor and step into the venue, a lively and bustling atmosphere immediately greets you.

Looking around, in the dozen or so well-separated battle arenas, trainers are shouting passionately at each other everywhere.

"Brother Yun, what do you say? Shall we play a round first, or should we just get random matchmaking?" Hearing the slightly noisy sounds around him, Liu Jianhao felt his blood boiling, and his tone became even more excited.

There are two ways to battle in the battle arena: one is to find someone yourself, who can be someone you know or someone you like in the arena.

Another method is random matching.

Simply report the information of the Pokémon you own, and the system will automatically assign them to you and make arrangements for you.

Therefore, the more people there are in a battle arena, the easier it is to find a suitable opponent, which naturally attracts more people and more people will come.

"Anything is fine."

Mu Yun said either way was fine.

"Let's have a match first. Let me tell you, my Blue talent is pretty good!"

Liu Jianhao chuckled.

Blue is a canine-type elf that can walk upright. Its pink skin and mature, aged appearance are all characteristics of this elf.

On the day Blue was born, Liu Jianhao excitedly sent him a video of himself feeding Blue, which looked adorably ugly.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Mu Yun responded with a smile.

My child, you've grown up. It's time to understand the true value of something that can't be replicated even after three generations!

After making their decision, the two immediately went to the reservation machine to swipe their cards.

As the number of uses on their card decreased from 100 to 99, they successfully made their reservation.

"Court number 11, match number 7, there are two groups ahead of us, it'll be our turn soon," Liu Jianhao said, glancing at the message notification on his phone.

"Okay, let's go. We can go check out the other trainers' battles." Mu Yun nodded.

Soon, the two passed through several battle arenas and arrived at a relatively remote part of the battle hall.

At this moment, two Pokémon are battling in Battle Arena 11: Butterfree and Beautifly. Their levels are not high, one is level 16 and the other is level 15.

Judging from the two trainers' clear and bright appearances and their Pokémon levels, Mu Yun guessed that they were probably not high school seniors this year, but rather non-Pokémon major students who had already entered university.

The battle quickly ended with Butterfree's psychic attacks.

As one of the few non-Psychic-type Pokémon capable of mastering Psychic-type moves, Butterfree does have a significant advantage in early battles.

Once locked in by telekinesis, the scales of victory will quietly tip in their favor.

After the match ended, two boys took to the field.

One of them looked quite young, probably a senior in high school this year, while the other was more mature. Judging from their similar appearances and how they had been chatting together, they were probably brothers.

As for what they were talking about, Mu Yun suspected it had nothing to do with the battle, because the high school senior kept glancing at him and Liu Jianhao after they entered the arena.

When Mu Yun discovered her, she blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Unsurprisingly, Xiao Chunan is yet another one who was captivated by his effeminate best friend's innocent appearance.

I wonder what kind of surprised and disappointed expression he will have when he finds out that Liu Jianhao is a man.

It's going to be really fun!
