Chapter 178 Introduction to Going to School and the Sandshrew

Time is like a gentle breeze brushing against the willows, always slipping away unnoticed.

Monday arrived in the blink of an eye, and coincidentally, there was a Pokémon identification class today. This dashed Xuan Mingtian's hopes of taking a day off. At this very moment, Xiao Qingmei, along with Xuan Wuye, was bouncing around on his bed.

"Big brother, get up quickly! It's Monday and we have class today. If you don't get up now, you'll be late."

But today, he seemed to be paralyzed, completely ignoring Xiao Qingmei's words. Because Xuan Mingtian had already known about their arrival the moment they stepped into the room.

After all, he was still thinking about what his family had said the day before, and he told them the news the very next day after reaching an agreement with Banmu.

When Xuan Mingtian told his parents, they said, "Your dad and I are on vacation. You can make your own decisions. Anyway, you'll have to take over everything in the family after you graduate, so let you practice now. Also, don't bother us unless it's important."

With just this one simple sentence, he was left speechless.

Unwilling to accept this, Xuan Mingtian dialed his grandfather's number and told him about the collaboration with the Rockets.

However, what I got in return was: "Team Rocket, this organization is alright. It's much better than Team Aqua or something. Since you've decided to cooperate with them, then so be it. It's not a big deal. Now that you know how to cooperate with other forces, don't bother me and your grandfather on our trip unless it's something important."

Xuan Mingtian had already guessed that his grandfather would say something like that, but he didn't expect that his grandfather and maternal grandfather had gone on a trip.

Haha, it's true that a couple's love is genuine and a child is an accident. Even grandparents can't escape this "it's so good" law.

After telling his parents and grandparents, Xuan Mingtian turned around and told Xiao Gang and his group in the same way. Of course, he didn't tell Professor Oak and Ran.

Because they were among the more prestigious researchers in the alliance, and because of Mustard, she chose not to tell her in order to put her mind at ease.

Professor Oak, though familiar with them, comes from the Oak family, a top-tier family within the League. If he were to find out, it could damage their friendship, or even lead to a complete break.

However, there was also good news: after telling Xiao Gang about it, the latter unconditionally supported him, which moved Xuan Mingtian to tears. They almost burned joss paper, chopped off a chicken's head, and became sworn brothers.

"Brother, if you don't get up, I'll tell Mom that you're always sleeping in."

His younger brother's words finally awakened Xuan Mingtian from his memories.

"Okay, I'll get up right away."

With a swift, somersaulting motion, he not only knocked Xiao Qingmei and her younger brother onto the bed, but also lost his balance and fell off the bed himself.

"Pfft, hahaha..."

"Hahaha…"

This seemingly insignificant action caused the two to burst into laughter.

"Hmph, dare to laugh at me? Watch my ultimate tickling skill."

……

After playing around for a few minutes, Xuan Mingtian felt it was enough and immediately returned to the bathroom to tidy himself up.

Before long, he brought the two little ones to the dining room. Everyone had already gathered there, and even the younger sister was being looked after by Hanako.

But when she saw Xuan Mingtian, she struggled incessantly to break free from Hanako's embrace. This was because on Friday, Hanako had given up the spot that originally belonged to Satoshi to her younger sister. Poor Satoshi could only cry in the stroller now.

"Xiao Tian, ​​why don't you let me take care of your little sister?"

"Aunt Hanako, let's just forget about it. You're already working so hard taking care of Satoshi all by yourself, there's no need to make yourself so busy."

Since Xuan Mingtian has said so, we can only let him have his way.

As time passed, the group finally returned to school before the school bell rang. The group grew from three to four and then to six.

Today, Mr. Shi finally returned to his normal attire; if he had dressed like he did last week, one might have wondered if he had lost a screw.

"Good morning, everyone! Did you have a great weekend? I had a lot of fun, and I'm happy every day."

The moment he finished speaking, the entire class stared at him with incredulous expressions. This teacher was truly inhuman! Having fun on the weekend was one thing, but even Monday at school was a nightmare. Didn't he know that students this age sometimes suffer from a phobia of going to school?

"Teacher, can you act like a human being? Aren't you afraid of getting a sack put over your head if you go out at night?"

"Sorry, Xuan, I don't go out after 10 p.m.

Teacher Shi looked at Xuan Mingtian with a smug expression, as if to say, "What can you do about it?" I really don't know if Teacher Shi took some medicine this morning before coming out; he was speaking so aggressively.

Left with no other choice, Xuan Mingtian could only give him a big thumbs up.

After a brief exchange, the teacher took four Poké Balls from his waist and released them onto the podium.

"Wow~ It's a sand rat, and a king sand rat too. Hmm, why do these two look so similar to them?"

"Yes, it is."

"Ahem, these two are Sandshrew and Sandshrew, which are unique to the Alola region."

While the students were discussing the four sprites, Xiao Qingmei explained the situation of the unusual pangolin to them in an adult-like tone.

"Haha, Xiao is right. Class, today we're going to talk about Sandshrew and Sandslash, as well as the morphology of the Alola region. It seems you didn't do your homework over the weekend. In that case, open your textbooks and watch the screen at the same time."

Teacher Shi, having been through similar experiences, wasn't angry about the students not preparing for the lesson. Instead, she earnestly explained the ingenuity of this method to the students.

The pangolin is a bipedal, mouse-like creature that can also walk on all fours when running. Its skin is yellowish-brown, hard, dry, and has a brick-like pattern, making it resemble a brick wall.

Its chin and belly are cream-colored, and it has a thick, cone-shaped tail. Its forelimbs have three small, sharp claws, and its hind limbs have two toes. Its ears are small and triangular. Its eyes are blue-black.

From Xuan Mingtian's perspective, this sand rat was much cuter than Pikachu. Therefore, his girlish heart was gradually melting.

Alola Sandshrew's body has changed to adapt to the harsh environment of the snowy mountains, with an icy shell covering its steel-hard skin.

Although it has excellent defensive capabilities, it lacks flexibility and cannot curl up into a ball like a typical pangolin. Except for the area around its mouth and abdomen, its body is light blue with brick-shaped patterns.

Its head developed an igloo-like armor that covered its head, and its ears were shaped like igloo entrances. At the same time, its type changed from Ground to Ice and Steel.
