After a Rich Kid Classmate Showed Off His Starter Trio in the Class Group Chat!

After the Pidgey incident at lunch, Mu Yun looked at the cloudless, blazing sky and chose to take Weedle home.

It was too hot outside. If he forced himself to run under the sun, he would probably get heatstroke.

He could only wait until after dinner, when the sun was about to set, before continuing the running task.

After getting home, Mu Yun gave Weedle a quick shower and successfully earned 10 Points.

After that came his daily Ninth National Fitness Exercise workout, as well as his study of several foreign languages.

Yanhuang Language continued to steadily provide experience through web novels, one point every ten minutes.

For Free Eagle Language, he read supplementary textbooks. Even if he had read them before, as long as he studied them carefully for ten minutes, he would still gain one point of experience.

All he could say was, the System really was convenient!

As for Sakura Language, considering his physical condition, Mu Yun still chose to watch anime.

Whether because the information density was low or because of subtitle translation issues, Sakura Language experience increased very slowly. It barely gained one point after more than twenty minutes.

If he wanted to reach Level 2, it would probably be close to the start of school.

But it did not really matter. Language skills were not an immediate necessity, so leveling them early or late made no difference. If their effects after leveling were not good, he might even consider holding off on leveling those two skills.

The afternoon passed quickly.

Wang Dan did not ask Mu Yun to join her for dinner. Chi Duoduo had been called away by her master at noon for special training, and she had even taken leave from the first semester of senior year classes.

Nearly half a year of special training was probably meant to prepare for that training camp.

In the evening, Mu Yun followed his original plan and completed Daily Task 1: Move Training and Daily Task 2: Physical Training, earning another 20 Points.

After a quick wash, Mu Yun turned on the TV and found Weedle his favorite program—

Highlights of spectacular battles from past Silver Conferences.

The so-called Silver Conference was also known as the XX Regional Young Trainer Tournament.

It referred to battle competitions independently organized by various regions of the Yanhuang League for young Trainers aged thirty and under.

Above that was the Golden Tournament, also known as the National Young Trainer Tournament.

One night, Mu Yun had turned on the TV out of boredom and happened to switch to that program, immediately catching Weedle's attention.

From then on, it became Weedle's essential bedtime program every day.

After finding Weedle something to watch, Mu Yun lay on the sofa and took out his phone.

As soon as the screen lit up, he saw a red 99+ notification dot on the Yunxin icon.

After opening it, he found that the class group chat was noisily discussing something.

[Charmander Is the Best: Hurry and look, my Caterpie can already use String Shot consistently! (Soft, limp bug silk wrapped around fingers.JPG)]

[Pidgeot Is Number One: Tch, it's just String Shot. My Spearow inherited Quick Attack and can fly four or five meters in one burst! (Spearow proud face.JPG)]

[White Alcremie: Your Starter Pokémon is Spearow, so why haven't you changed your name? @Pidgeot Is Number One]

[Pidgeot Is Number One: Why should I change it? Spearow may be great, but Pidgeot will always be number one in my heart! (Pidgeot looking down on others.JPG)]

[Starter Trio Holder (Li Mingwei): What Pidgeot this, Pidgeot that? Get out of my way, I'm about to show off! (Cyndaquil hatching.JPG) (Cyndaquil drinking milk.JPG) (Cyndaquil sleeping.JPG)]

[Charmander Is the Best: Wow, it's actually a Cyndaquil! A Fire Type Starter Trio Pokémon! I'm so jealous!]

[White Alcremie: Damn, it's actually a three-stage evolution Starter Trio Pokémon. Being rich is great!]

[Starter Trio Holder (Li Mingwei): It's not bad, I guess. If you raise a Fearow well, its ability to fly means it is not actually worse than a Starter Trio Pokémon.]

[...]

After glancing through the class group chat, Mu Yun understood why it was so lively.

It turned out that Li Mingwei, the rich kid, was showing off because his Starter Trio Pokémon had hatched.

As a symbol of both wealth and strength, Cyndaquil naturally drew most people's attention.

Watching the conversation gradually turn into a wall of "Jealous +1," Mu Yun could not help tapping it as well.

It was not because he was jealous that the other guy had a Starter Trio Pokémon. He simply could not resist when he saw "+1."

Perhaps everyone was free that evening. The instant he tapped it, someone sharp-eyed noticed.

[White Alcremie: God Mu is here! Hurry and let us mortals admire the top student's Pokémon! (Alcremie acting cute.JPG)]

[Charmander Is the Best: God Mu, let us admire it!]

[Pure-Blooded Real Man (Liu Jianhao): God Mu, let us admire it!]

[Starter Trio Holder (Li Mingwei): God Mu, let us admire it!]

A new chain of replies quickly appeared.

Seeing the lively messages in the group, Mu Yun did not spoil the mood. He generously pointed his phone at Weedle, which was lying on his stomach.

He quickly sent the photo he had taken to the group.

[Cloud Reader (Mu Yun): Just an ordinary Weedle. Nothing special. (Weedle lying on me and watching TV seriously.JPG)]

Because of the angle, aside from Weedle, the photo also vaguely showed the skin of Mu Yun's abdomen.

His daily regular training had given him clearly defined muscles along his abdomen and waist. One look was enough to tell that his waist was strong.

[White Alcremie: Wow, as expected of God Mu's Weedle. It looks so strong! (Alcremie blushing.JPG)]

[Pidgeot Is Number One: Pah! Are you even looking at the Weedle? I can barely bring myself to call you out on it. Still, God Mu's muscles are awesome. He's good at both academics and martial arts! (Pidgeot wide-eyed.JPG)]

[Pure-Blooded Real Man (Liu Jianhao): Coach, I want to learn this! (Machop's eyes shining.JPG)]

"???"

Mu Yun's mind was filled with question marks as he looked at the messages in the group.

According to the common face-slapping plotlines in novels, should not a group of people have followed Li Mingwei, the rich kid who bought a Starter Trio Pokémon, and mocked him, the poor top student of the year, for having bad luck and only getting a common Caterpie from outside his house?

Then his femboy best friend should have argued reasonably on his behalf, ultimately been outnumbered, and turned around to comfort him instead.

Then, after school started, he would use a Pokémon battle to deliver a satisfying face-slap, look down on them with feigned disdain, and have his femboy best friend smugly jump in their faces to mock them.

Fine, all of that was Mu Yun mocking the plotlines of similar school novels he had read before.

After two years together, he also knew that the students in his class were all normal people with calm mindsets.

There were neither arrogant rich kids who looked down on everyone nor pitiful little people so insecure that they got bullied all day. So this sort of "delightful to watch" scenario would never happen.

But even if nobody was mocking him, should they not at least be normally discussing Weedle's training plan? Why had the conversation suddenly gone off the rails, with everyone discussing how to train muscles instead?

This was the Pokémon world, not the world of Baki!

Just as Mu Yun was speechless, the lively atmosphere in the group suddenly stalled. It turned out that Song Fu, who had been lurking, had sent a document.

[Homeroom Teacher of Class 3, Grade 2 (Song Fu): "Battle Assessment Standards and Procedures for the First Semester of Senior Year for Pokémon Class Students"]

[Homeroom Teacher of Class 3, Grade 2 (Song Fu): The registration method, schedule, rewards, and other details for the battle assessment are all in the document above. All students applying for the Pokémon Class must read it carefully. Do not forget to register. Registration closes this Friday. Those who miss the deadline will not be able to participate in the battle assessment.]

[Homeroom Teacher of Class 3, Grade 2 (Song Fu): This School Opening Assessment is very important. It will directly affect class placement and the school's subsequent teaching arrangements. Students aiming for the Small Class must take it seriously.]

The battle assessment document and Song Fu's words instantly drew everyone's attention in the group, Mu Yun included.

After receiving his +1, he opened the document immediately.

But before he could examine it carefully, an electronic notification suddenly sounded.

[System notification]

[ Ding! It has been detected that the host has triggered a short-term task. The task has been loaded. Please check it yourself! ]

...

Putting too many pictures in one chapter affects the reading experience, so I will post pictures of some Pokémon in the comments section.

If you guys have pictures, you can post them in the comments section too.

That's all.
