Pokémon Farm

Chapter 149 Pokémon Battle

Looking at the description of the Great-billed Finch in the book, I glanced up at it again at the podium. Suddenly, I felt it was truly ugly—a long, pointed beak and a slender neck.

If its legs were any longer, it would look exactly like a red-crowned crane from a past life.

At this moment, the big-beaked sparrow seemed to sense Xuan Mingtian's disdain, and instantly let out a dissatisfied shriek.

"Big-beaked sparrow, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly scream? Are you feeling unwell, or are you hungry?"

Mr. Shi, who was standing nearby, was stopped by the big-billed finch's shrill cry. He asked it what had happened, since he had never seen a big-billed finch make such a sound in class before.

"Big beak~ Big beak sparrow~"

The big-beaked bird squawked and flapped its wings in Xuan Mingtian's direction.

For a teacher of a sprite identification class, he would roughly understand the meaning behind such actions and behaviors.

"Xuan, what's going on? The big-beaked sparrow said you were looking down on it, what's going on?"

"Teacher, I didn't mean to look down on it. I just think that the Sparrow-like Pokémon isn't very good-looking and needs a change in its hairstyle, as well as that tuft of feathers on its chest. Don't you think it's a bit ugly?"

Faced with Teacher Shi's question, Xuan Mingtian spoke frankly. After all, it's not like it can't be said; can't people talk about what it looks like? That doesn't make sense. But we can help it change its hairstyle; it should look much better that way.

"Big Mouth~ Big Mouth Sparrow~": You bastard, how dare you say I'm ugly? Since you don't like me, then I'm leaving?

The big-beaked sparrow chirped a few more times, and Xuan Mingtian heard it all clearly, but he wasn't embarrassed at all.

"Big-mouthed Sparrow, wait a minute. I only said your hairstyle wasn't very nice, I didn't say you were ugly. Don't worry, even if it's Ugly Fish, I treat everyone the same."

As soon as he finished speaking, the students and teachers stared at him in shock. They looked at him as if he were a fool; no one had expected Xuan Mingtian to compare it to Feebas. After all, as long as Feebas doesn't evolve, it's known for being ugly.

"Sparrow~Big Mouth~": Is what you said true? Then help me change my look.

"Alright, then you can come with me today."

He wasn't really keen on helping with this request. Firstly, he didn't know anything about hairdressing, and secondly, he was being looked at with such pitiful eyes by the big-beaked sparrow. Having no other choice, he had to agree to its request.

"Teacher Shi, after class, please give me the Big-Toothed Sparrow. I want to transform it into the most handsome sparrow, so handsome that it will have countless girlfriends."

The teacher was happy to oblige. Even with the academy's guidance, it still required considerable effort. So how could he refuse Xuan Mingtian's request?

After confirming the differences, the teacher continued to explain the distinction between the finches and the big-billed finches.

……

"Ring~ Ring~ Ring~"

Before long, the bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class. The students all breathed a sigh of relief; after all, a 40-minute class is really hard for them at this age.

After seeing Xuan Mingtian catch the Pokémon Ball from Finch, Brock asked with a puzzled look, "Xiao Tian, ​​I don't think Finch is ugly. Why do you feel that way? I'm really impressed. Also, you don't seem to know how to cut hair or style your hair, don't make it look like a complete mess!"

"Xiaogang, I feel like you've gotten dumber lately. If you don't know how, you can learn! We have big-billed sparrows to use for experiments, aren't we?"

Xuan Mingtian didn't care about Xiao Gang's statement. After all, if you don't know how to do something, you can just learn it. If you can't learn it the first time, try again. He didn't believe he wouldn't get it after ten or eight tries. And if he really couldn't, there was always Xiao Gang and Yang Bin.

"Xuan Mingtian, the Pokémon battle training class is coming up later. Did you bring my Bulbasaur?"

While chatting with Xiao Gang and the others, an untimely voice came from ahead. Turning around, he saw it was class monitor Bai Ying. But upon hearing that it was a Pokémon battle training class, Xuan Mingtian stared at Xiao Gang with a completely bewildered expression.

"Xiaogang, is it Teacher Zhu's class later? Why didn't I know?"

"Oh no, I didn't check this week's schedule."

"Brother Tian, ​​Brother Gang, why are you saying so much? Let's hurry back and get it, there's still time."

Just after they finished talking, a figure appeared at the classroom door. Upon closer inspection, it was Uncle Xiao, but they didn't know what he was doing there.

"I finally waited for you to finish class. I just finished tidying up the little villa. I glanced at your schedule and saw that there was a Pokémon battle training class today. I also knew that you didn't bring your Pokémon. So I brought them for you."

It must be said, Uncle Xiao truly lives up to his reputation as a butler with twenty years of experience. This one small incident alone demonstrates his professionalism.

"Uncle Xiao, you've come at just the right time. I was planning to go back with Xiao Gang and Binzi. But you showed up instead. Did you bring Bai Ying's Bulbasaur too?"

"Don't worry, I've brought them all. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Okay, Uncle Xiao, you can go back now. If my brother misbehaves, then hit him as you please, don't worry about my feelings."

Uncle Xiao merely chuckled awkwardly at Xuan Mingtian's statement. He didn't take it seriously at all. After all, Xuan Mingtian was his own younger brother from the main family. Even if he was disobedient, he could be taught a lesson with care; he couldn't really beat him up.

The 10-minute break passed quickly. The students then went to the training ground, where Teacher Zhu had been waiting for a long time.

"Classmates, why are you so late gathering here? Is it because my class is boring, or do you think you're very capable?"

Faced with the teacher's unprovoked reprimand, the students looked at Teacher Zhu with utter bewilderment.

To be honest, this lesson was indeed very boring. But whether they were strong or not is completely irrelevant. After all, they are only first graders, still just children. How strong could they possibly be?

"I won't waste any more time with the small talk. Training is suspended for this lesson. Instead, you'll have to engage in Pokémon battles, each of you choosing your own opponent. The winner will receive credits for this battle. Let's begin."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Mingtian looked at Teacher Zhu speechlessly. At that moment, the latter's gaze also turned to him, her pleading eyes filled with longing. It seemed the teacher wanted him to have a match.

Unfortunately, Xuan Mingtian completely ignored him. He even glared back fiercely when Teacher Zhu looked over.

At the teacher's command, the students began to find their own partners for battle.

"Xiao Tian, ​​I'll go have a match with Binzi. You can find someone else yourself."

Actually, Xiao Gang originally wanted to spar with Xuan Mingtian, but the class monitor's eyes seemed to be warning him that this was her opponent.
