The matches were still underway, and everyone was watching with great interest.
Cheng Tian and the others had been eating like this for nearly two hours, eventually getting so full they didn't even want the popcorn anymore. Su Han didn't want hers either, so she gave it away to the students sitting nearby.
"093270856, 093340012"
Su Han stood up when she heard the numbers. "It's my turn." Lin Lin cheered, "Go, Su Han!" Su Han nodded and walked toward the battle arena.
Her white shirt hugged her prominent figure, and her flawless face wore a gentle smile. Just walking through the crowd caused a group of gentlemen to nearly lose their composure.
Bai Yun held her soda. "Tian, look how beautiful Su Han is. I think she might be interested in you. If you don't make a move now, it'll be too late."
"Can you stop thinking such filthy thoughts? She just happened to be sitting with us today. How does that mean she's interested in me? Besides, we're high school students. We should be focused on our studies. I, for one, don't want to date."
Lin Lin countered, "Oh, that's not necessarily true. Although Su Han is gentle with everyone, it's mostly out of politeness. But she's particularly nice to you. Cheng Tian, you might actually have a chance."
Cheng Tian took a sip of his soda, signaling that he didn't want to talk about it.
Su Han stood in the arena. Her opponent was a boy who clearly hadn't expected to face her and seemed slightly embarrassed.
"Both sides, prepare your Pokémon."
The boy took out his Poké Ball, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect to meet Su Han. I'll go easy on her for a bit, and while I'm at it, I'll show off my heroic prowess. Maybe I can make a good impression, and then I can start pursuing her!"
Thinking this, the boy seemed to envision his future high school life and couldn't help but let out a silly giggle.
"What are you giggling about? Release your Pokémon quickly." The teacher saw his infatuated look and reminded him while showing disdain.
"Ah, oh, oh, come out! Scraggy!" The boy summoned a Dark/Fighting-type Scraggy. As soon as Scraggy appeared, it held its pants up with both hands, looking at everyone in the arena with a defiant, swaggering attitude, as if saying:
Everyone here is trash!
Su Han smiled faintly and took out a Poké Ball.
From the spectator seats, Bai Yun asked, "Tian, what do you think of Su Han's battling? Can she beat Scraggy?"
Cheng Tian shook his head. "How should I know? I'm not close with her, and I don't even know what her starter Pokémon is." After speaking, he picked up his soda to take a drink.
With a flash of red light, a pink figure appeared.
"Vee~" A soft, adorable voice rang out. Su Han's Pokémon was actually a Sylveon!
Sylveon is the Fairy-type evolution branch of the Pokémon Eevee. Its ribbon-like feelers can move freely, emitting waves that soothe feelings and can stop battles. Sylveon also wraps its feelers around its beloved Trainer's arm when they walk together.
Cream-colored fur, pink bows, and large azure eyes. Its soft, adorable cry of "Vee~" instantly captured the hearts of countless tough guys.
"Holy sh*t! What am I seeing?! A Sylveon!"
"Wuwuwu, it's too cute! I want one too!"
"Only a Pokémon like that is worthy of my goddess! Seeing them together makes me feel like I'm bathed in the spring breeze!" The boys shouted excitedly, while the girls showed expressions of envy and jealousy.
Meanwhile, Cheng Tian, who was drinking his soda, completely lost his composure and spat out a mouthful—"Pfft—"—right onto Bai Yun's face.
"What the hell, Tian! What are you doing?! It's just a Sylveon; you don't have to react like that!" Bai Yun was covered in soda, while Lin Lin burst into laughter.
"Cough, cough... Sorry, I was too surprised and choked on my drink." Cheng Tian took out some tissues, wiping Bai Yun's face and apologizing.
The others could only see Sylveon's cuteness and rarity. However, with the help of his system, Cheng Tian could see all of Sylveon's information, and that was what truly astonished him.

(The above information is excerpted from the Pokémon Encyclopedia. Indeed, Sylveon can learn this many moves by Level 15...)
As the Fairy-type evolution branch of Eevee, Sylveon is quite popular. However, because 85% of its population is male, cheerful netizens often jokingly call it the "Pink Boss"... So many moves!
That was Cheng Tian's first reaction! Not only was this Sylveon Level 15, far beyond what anyone else had, but it also had the Hidden Ability Pixilate! Not to mention that overwhelming list of moves... it had even learned Draining Kiss ahead of time.
Cheng Tian truly couldn't understand why this Sylveon's level was so much higher than theirs!
Everyone had just received their starter Pokémon, and their average levels weren't even 10. Cheng Tian's Froakie was higher leveled because he caught it himself in the wild, but even it couldn't compare to this Sylveon.
Is it just because you're a rich young lady?!
Sigh, thinking about it, that seemed to be the case. Su Han came from a wealthy background, so acquiring an Eevee with unlimited potential and evolving it probably wasn't difficult.
Sylveon's evolution requirements are very strict: it must first know the Fairy-type move Play Rough, and its bond (Affection) with its Trainer must reach a very high level before it can evolve. Therefore, this Pokémon always has an excellent relationship with its Trainer.
As soon as Sylveon appeared and let out a soft cry, its pristine ribbons immediately wrapped around Su Han's arm. "Sylveon, thank you for battling," Su Han said gently.
"Vee~" Hearing this, Sylveon finally unwrapped its ribbons and walked toward the battle arena.
The opposing boy was stunned. Sylveon was a Fairy-type, giving it a massive four-times effectiveness advantage over Scraggy!
But Sylveon was so cute... The boy violently shook his head. This was a battle; now was not the time to be thinking about that! He had to win! Only by winning could he enter the Pokémon Department and get into a good class!
Scraggy looked at the adorable Sylveon, its eyes instantly widening. It looked exactly like a street punk sizing up a beautiful girl.
"Begin the match!"
"Sylveon, use Play Rough." Hearing the command, Sylveon's azure eyes slowly rounded, giving it a delicate, alluring appearance.
Seeing Sylveon's look, Scraggy blushed, and its Attack stat immediately dropped.
"Don't look into its eyes! Scraggy, use Venoshock!" the boy commanded. Venoshock was an Egg Move for Scraggy, and one of the few moves that could hit Sylveon for effective damage.
"How can you attack such an adorable Sylveon? Are you even human!?" The crowd was indignant.
Nevertheless, Scraggy launched Venoshock, a glob of poison flying toward Sylveon.
Su Han didn't pay the poison glob any attention. "Use Quick Attack to dodge, then follow up with Swift."
"Vee~" Sylveon easily leaped over the glob of poison. It then used Quick Attack, rushing swiftly toward Scraggy and slamming into it. Sylveon jumped back and launched a barrage of flying stars, hitting Scraggy once more.
"Hmph!" Scraggy realized the danger, quickly mustered its fighting spirit, and endured the set of attacks. Scraggy was now standing in the arena, panting heavily, barely clinging to consciousness.
The boy was dumbfounded. Although he knew Scraggy was severely disadvantaged against Sylveon, he hadn't expected Scraggy to be unable to withstand even Normal-type moves. If Scraggy hadn't used Endure at the critical moment to desperately retain a sliver of health, it would have already been knocked out.
The boy didn't know, but Cheng Tian did: this Sylveon's Ability was Pixilate, which converts all Normal-type moves into Fairy-type moves while slightly boosting their damage.
What appeared to be two Normal-type moves were actually two Fairy-type moves hitting Scraggy.
Seeing that Scraggy hadn't collapsed, Sylveon let out a soft, adorable cry of "Vee~" and walked toward it.
Scraggy used its last bit of strength to look at Sylveon, its eyes filled with terror.
This woman hits incredibly hard!
Sylveon slowly approached, blinking its cute, large eyes, let out a gentle cry, and then kissed Scraggy.
Draining Kiss!
That final kiss caused Scraggy to happily lose consciousness.
"The winner is Sylveon!"
The audience applauded, celebrating Sylveon's victory. Sylveon quickly ran back, wrapping its snowy white ribbons around Su Han's arm again and letting out a soft cry, seemingly whining affectionately.
Su Han knelt down and gently stroked Sylveon's head. "That was a great match, Xian Xian."
This was truly a crushing victory. Scraggy never managed to land a hit on Sylveon; it was completely dominated.
The boy dejectedly recalled Scraggy and headed off for treatment. Su Han also recalled Sylveon and left the arena...
