Ch. 41Evil Begets Evil

Chapter Summary: “Evil Begets Evil”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Baimu’s hope that Jian’s Honchkrow might defeat Vibrava is crushed when Vibrava returns victorious with Honchkrow unconscious. Honchkrow had been defeated after panicking at Jian’s cries for help.
  • Chansey collapses from exhaustion after healing Lairon, while Lairon recovers enough strength following its evolution, Heal Pulse, and food.
  • The Rotom Drone announces that Baimu has received 5.38 million in tips from the battle, though Baimu reflects that the money was earned at great personal risk.
  • Baimu interrogates the wounded Jian, threatening him with repeated knife wounds whenever he refuses to answer.
  • Jian reveals information about:
    • The possible mole within the Hound Team, whom Baimu plans to investigate further.
    • A powerful, illegal drug used on Mightyena and Bewear. It boosts physical strength, dulls pain, accelerates evolution, and increases resistance, but damages intelligence, causes addiction, and can turn Pokémon into idiots.
    • Otsuka’s condition and location. Otsuka is alive but has had his hands and feet broken. Jian spared him only to exploit his reputation for loyalty and gain public approval.
  • Baimu destroys Jian’s remaining drug pills, condemning the abuse of Pokémon.
  • Two Hound Team members who had been pretending to be unconscious are forced to choose between one another. Baimu orders them to bury Jian alive with only his head exposed, promising to release them afterward.
  • Before the burial, Baimu has Lairon crush Jian’s ribs, intensifying his suffering.
  • The two men bury Jian, who dies roughly ten minutes later from blood loss, heat, and respiratory injuries.
  • Baimu releases the two Hound Team members and sets out to find and rescue the injured Otsuka.

Character Developments

  • Baimu: Becomes increasingly ruthless and vengeful. Although he intends to rescue Otsuka and still hopes the boy can reform, he shows no mercy toward Jian, deliberately making his death painful as retribution for his crimes. He also demonstrates practical judgment by destroying the dangerous drug and gathering information before acting.
  • Jian: Falls from arrogance and control into terror, desperation, and helplessness. He begs for mercy and offers money, but his previous cruelty leaves him without sympathy. His death mirrors the suffering he inflicted on others.
  • Otsuka: Though absent from the immediate scene, he is characterized as principled and courageous, willing to endure torture rather than betray his ideals. Baimu’s desire to save him suggests Otsuka has earned Baimu’s respect.
  • The Hound Team members: Their apparent courage collapses under threat of death. They betray their earlier moral posturing and compete to carry out Baimu’s order, revealing their instinct for self-preservation.
  • Lairon: Having evolved and regained strength, Lairon becomes an instrument of Baimu’s revenge by crushing Jian’s ribs.
  • Jian’s Pokémon: Mightyena and Bewear are shown to have been exploited through a harmful performance-enhancing drug, emphasizing Jian’s disregard for their well-being.

Significant Themes

  • “Evil begets evil”: Jian’s cruelty ultimately returns to him. Baimu deliberately makes him experience helplessness and prolonged suffering similar to that endured by Jian’s victims.
  • Justice versus mercy: Baimu believes Jian does not deserve a quick death, while still showing compassion toward Otsuka and concern for Pokémon harmed by the drug.
  • Hypocrisy and self-preservation: The Hound Team members’ courage disappears when their lives are threatened, suggesting that much of their morality was performative.
  • The exploitation of Pokémon: Jian’s drug forces Pokémon to sacrifice their minds and health for greater power, exposing the corruption and brutality of the criminal world.
  • The value of loyalty and integrity: Otsuka’s willingness to stand by his principles contrasts with Jian’s manipulation and the Hound Team members’ cowardice.
  • Power and consequences: Money, reputation, and physical strength cannot protect Jian once he loses control of the situation.

Character Interactions

  • Baimu dominates Jian during the interrogation, using violence and fear to force him to answer.
  • Jian pleads for mercy and attempts to bargain with money, but Baimu refuses to sympathize with him.
  • Baimu and Lairon cooperate in punishing Jian, with Lairon physically injuring him at Baimu’s command.
  • Baimu manipulates the two Hound Team members by threatening to kill one and then ordering both to bury Jian.
  • The Hound Team members turn against their earlier principles and compete to obey Baimu.
  • Baimu’s thoughts about Otsuka reveal a sharp contrast in how he treats people: he seeks revenge against Jian but hopes to save and reform Otsuka.

Ch. 42External Influences

Chapter Summary: “External Influences”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Baimu’s victory over Jian is broadcast throughout Pyrite Town, provoking intense debate among spectators. While some dismiss his success as luck caused by Pokémon evolution, most recognize that defeating Jian proves Baimu is a serious contender.
  • The battle severely damages Hound Team’s reputation. Their poor tactics are mocked, and the spectators emphasize that only survival and victory ultimately matter.
  • Hound Team’s leader reacts furiously, smashing his desk and returning to headquarters. He blames Huo Wu for helping Baimu ambush Jian, but discovers that she has already fled to headquarters under the excuse of undergoing a medical examination.
  • Unable to confront Quicksand Team directly because of the surveillance Rotom Drone, the leader contacts a superior and begs for protection. Jian’s death is especially serious because Jian had been favored by Hound Team’s top executive, leaving the leader fearful of punishment.
  • In Silicon Beryllium City, mining tycoon Dinis is summoned and harshly reprimanded by Ejin for giving Baimu a three-million-unit reward. Ejin is less concerned about the money than about losing control and having his authority undermined.
  • Dinis realizes that, despite his public status, he is largely a puppet controlled by Ejin and his loyalists. However, Baimu’s victory inspires him to seek a better future for his son, Shan Ren. He leaves the confrontation with a renewed determination to break free.
  • Back in the arena, Baimu struggles with the extreme heat while traveling with Lairon and Otsuka. Lairon then notices a person partially sheltered beneath a large boulder.

  • Huo Wu: Her absence strongly suggests that she has abandoned or betrayed Hound Team and is avoiding retaliation.
  • Dinis: He changes from a controlled, apathetic corporate figure into someone willing to act for his son’s future. Baimu’s victory gives him the courage to make a decisive personal choice.
  • Ejin: He is characterized as controlling, miserly, status-conscious, and obsessed with maintaining authority. His treatment of Dinis shows that he values dominance and prestige more than loyalty or genuine relationships.
  • Lairon: It continues to act as a reliable partner, alerting Baimu to the hidden person under the boulder.
  • Otsuka: Though not directly active in the chapter, Baimu worries about the boy’s vulnerability to the intense heat, reinforcing their dependent relationship.

Significant Themes

  • Reputation and survival: Public opinion ultimately respects results rather than excuses. Baimu’s victory matters because he survived and defeated a stronger opponent.

  • Otsuka is unable to activate his rescue wristband, so Baimu assists him in sending the call.

Chapter Summary: “A Perfect Ending”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • After witnessing Delibird carry Otsuka away, Baimu rests briefly while waiting for his radar to cool down.
  • He decides to rescue the remaining injured competitors, partly out of decency and partly because he is carrying twelve Pokémon belonging to his companions. If their Trainers survive, they can reclaim them; if they die, the Quicksand Team can sell the Pokémon for compensation.
  • Rotom Drone announces that enough participants remain for the team-formation function to activate. Baimu discovers that one of the eliminated participants was an ally, though the system still does not reveal teammate locations.

  • Rotom Drone announces that the Quicksand Team has won. Baimu is surprised that his teammates successfully defeated the remaining opponents without him.
  • A cargo truck retrieves the surviving participants. The others are astonished to learn that Baimu personally defeated four opponents, including Jian, while Baimu modestly claims he merely got lucky.

  • Baimu shows compassion and responsibility by risking himself to rescue injured teammates and care for the dead, despite having little personal loyalty to them. At the same time, he remains pragmatic, viewing the captured Pokémon as valuable assets.
  • He becomes increasingly cautious and strategic. Rather than immediately seeking more fights, he prioritizes survival, rescue, and avoiding unnecessary risks.
  • Baimu’s reputation grows significantly after it is revealed that he defeated four enemies alone, including the dangerous Jian. His teammates, who may previously have viewed him as merely useful or troublesome, are now clearly impressed and intimidated.
  • Lairon is thrilled by its evolution and notices major improvements in its strength, stability, size, speed, and appetite. It wants to test its new power but restrains itself out of respect for Baimu’s judgment.
  • Lairon’s evolution also produces a small emotional disappointment: its once-smooth, carefully polished head has become rough and shovel-shaped. Nevertheless, it is proud of its growth and looks forward to eventually evolving into Aggron.

  • Death and the afterlife: The existence of ghosts and the Spirit World adds a supernatural dimension to the setting. Baimu treats death seriously but without surrendering to fear.
  • Reputation and recognition: Although Baimu minimizes his achievements, his actions have made him a major force in the competition, and others begin to recognize how dangerous and capable he truly is.

  • Baimu and the injured competitors: He rescues them and places them in Delibird’s sack, demonstrating responsibility toward his temporary allies.
  • Baimu and Jian: Even after Jian’s death, Baimu remains focused on him, confirming his corpse and telling the dead teammate to seek revenge. Jian’s defeat becomes one of Baimu’s most impressive accomplishments.
  • Baimu and his surviving teammates: They react with shock when they learn he defeated four opponents alone. Baimu avoids boasting and redirects attention toward their own contribution to the team’s victory.

Ch. 50Lairon's Territory

Chapter Summary: Lairon’s Territory

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Flobo offers Baimu four million for the three fully evolved Pokémon whose trainers Baimu killed. He explains that their value is reduced because they were enhanced with drugs and may be mentally unstable.
  • Despite the financial temptation and the cost of caring for three additional Pokémon, Baimu refuses to sell them. He plans to place them with trustworthy subordinates as an employee benefit instead.
  • Flobo questions Baimu’s decision but ultimately leaves, troubled by his refusal to prioritize profit.
  • Baimu begins moving into his new Squad Leader residence. Cheng Hong and the other former residents of Azure Iridium Street help him and announce that they intend to follow him after completing their training.

  • Baimu’s new home is a spacious two-story house with a backyard and a Battle Arena, reflecting his improved status and living conditions.
  • Lairon becomes excited when new trees and plants are delivered, but its behavior soon changes: it begins running around the yard and marking it as its territory.
  • Flobo returns and explains that Lairon has claimed the backyard because of its strong territorial instincts. He also reveals that he has been ordered to continue handling matters for higher-ranking figures.
  • Though suspicious of Flobo’s repeated visits, Baimu agrees to hear him out, reasoning that openly testing Flobo may be safer than allowing him to create trouble behind the scenes.

Character Developments

  • Baimu: Demonstrates compassion and loyalty by refusing a lucrative offer for the abused Pokémon. He shows strong attachment to his former neighbors and intends to bring them into his organization. His growing wealth and authority are contrasted with his effort to remain morally grounded.
  • Flobo: Reveals himself as practical and financially minded but not entirely malicious. He tries repeatedly to persuade Baimu to sell the Pokémon and appears frustrated by his subordinate position within the organization. His persistent return makes Baimu wary of his motives.
  • Cheng Hong and the former Azure Iridium Street residents: Their admiration and trust in Baimu deepen. They overcome their uneasiness about his rapid rise after he reassures them that he still considers them family and allies.
  • Lairon: Displays an instinctive need to establish territory, claiming Baimu’s backyard as its own. Its energetic behavior also shows its excitement about the new home and surroundings.

Significant Themes

  • Loyalty and shared history: Baimu chooses people he has known and trusted since childhood rather than relying solely on strangers or newly acquired subordinates.

Ch. 51New Pokémon

Chapter Summary: “New Pokémon”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Baimu and Flobo discuss the three captured enemy Pokémon—Mightyena and two others. Flobo argues that Baimu’s subordinates are unlikely to tame them through strength, meaning they would be expensive and difficult to keep.
  • Baimu explains that he does not want to sell the Pokémon because he hopes to find them a permanent, caring home rather than let them be passed around or abandoned.
  • Flobo compares Baimu’s attitude to that of a Pokémon Ranger and explains that the Orre region has few people devoted to Pokémon protection and environmental balance.
  • He reveals that the buyer is a wealthy Pokémon collector connected to both the Quicksand Team and Hound Team. Although the two groups are bitter rivals, they ultimately serve the same mining-security organization.
  • The collector has built a large ecological park where Pokémon live in a natural, well-maintained environment. He wants Jian’s former Pokémon as a memorial to Jian and offers Baimu:
    • One Pokémon from a selection of available Pokémon
    • Three million yuan as a “paid adoption” fee
    • Professional care for the three captured Pokémon
  • Baimu becomes suspicious of the unusually generous and urgent offer. He worries that the buyer may have hidden motives or that the three Pokémon possess some unknown value.
  • Despite his doubts, Baimu realizes that refusing could create trouble because the buyer may be connected to the organization supporting Flobo. He agrees to consider the exchange.
  • Wanting a strong flying Pokémon for future battles, Baimu examines the available choices. He rejects most of the Flying-type options, including an old, undersized Skarmory.
  • He selects a powerful Mawile instead. The Mawile possesses the Sheer Force Ability, exceptional physical strength, and the move Magnet Rise, allowing it to fly. Its main drawback is its spoiled, willful personality, though sweets may persuade it to cooperate.

Character Developments

  • Baimu: Demonstrates strong compassion and a sense of responsibility toward Pokémon, even dangerous enemy Pokémon. He remains cautious and observant, recognizing that the deal seems suspicious despite its obvious benefits. His strategic thinking also develops as he prioritizes acquiring a capable aerial Pokémon after recognizing how important Vibrava was during his battle with Jian.
  • Flobo: Reveals himself to be more informed and connected than Baimu initially realized. He explains the complicated relationship between the Quicksand Team, Hound Team, and their shared corporate backer. Though he claims to be acting honestly, his eagerness to secure Baimu’s agreement suggests pressure from the buyer.
  • The Collector: Though never seen directly, he is characterized as extremely wealthy, influential, and apparently dedicated to providing Pokémon with a good environment. However, his urgency and generosity leave Baimu uncertain about his true motives.
  • The captured Pokémon: Their future becomes central to the negotiations. Rather than treating them as commodities, Baimu views them as living beings who deserve stability and proper care.

Significant Themes

  • Compassion versus pragmatism: Baimu’s desire to protect the Pokémon conflicts with the economic and practical burdens of caring for them.
  • Trust and suspicion: The offer appears ideal, but its speed, generosity, and connection to criminal organizations make Baimu question whether he is being manipulated.
  • Pokémon welfare: The chapter emphasizes responsible ownership, humane treatment, rehabilitation, and the importance of finding Pokémon a suitable home.
  • Power and organization: The rivalry between the Quicksand and Hound Teams masks a larger corporate structure that controls both groups while caring mainly about mining output.
  • Strategic growth: Baimu learns from his previous battle and recognizes the importance of developing a strong flying partner for future confrontations.
  • Idealism and ambition: Baimu’s dream of creating a Pokémon sanctuary motivates him to act morally and continue growing stronger.

Character Interactions

  • Baimu and Flobo: Their conversation shifts from negotiation to revelation. Flobo tries to persuade Baimu with practical arguments, information about the buyer, and generous terms, while Baimu listens cautiously and tests the offer.
  • Baimu and the unseen collector: Their relationship begins indirectly through the exchange proposal. Baimu is tempted by the collector’s apparent care for Pokémon but remains wary of the collector’s influence and motives.
  • Baimu and Mawile: Their partnership has not yet begun, but Baimu chooses Mawile because of its strength and aerial potential. Mawile’s spoiled temperament foreshadows future difficulties in earning its obedience.
  • Baimu and the three captured Pokémon: Baimu’s concern for their welfare shows that he views them as individuals rather than enemy assets, reinforcing his emerging role as a protector and caretaker.

Ch. 52Special Attack or Physical Attack

Chapter Summary: “Special Attack or Physical Attack”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Flobo leaves Baimu with a Pokémon World Bank card containing five million and a receipt for the future transfer of Mightyena and the other Pokémon.
  • Mawile will arrive the next day, and the two-million deposit will be refunded after the transaction is completed.
  • Baimu suspects the unseen buyer may be interested in extracting or using the medicine remaining in Mightyena and the other Pokémon’s bodies. He wonders why such a powerful figure would need to rely on intermediaries, but ultimately cannot determine the truth.
  • The transaction leaves Baimu conflicted. He feels he has compromised his principles because of money and status, reinforcing his awareness that he lacks the strength to reject everything he dislikes.
  • In the backyard, Lairon uses a hose to cool Chansey and itself, creating a playful scene that Baimu interrupts so training can begin.
  • Baimu assesses the Pokémon’s updated conditions:
    • Lairon has reached Level 35 and learned Sand Tomb and Iron Tail, while Rock Blast came from a Simulator reward.
    • Chansey has reached Level 32 and possesses a broad support-oriented move set.
  • Baimu begins endurance training by having both Pokémon run laps. He plans to train Lairon more rigorously while asking Chansey to stop if the heat becomes uncomfortable.
  • He decides Lairon should eventually learn stronger Ground-type attacks, especially Stomping Tantrum and Earthquake.
  • Baimu also considers training Special Attack rather than automatically focusing on Physical Attack, since the animated-series-style world does not follow the games’ strict damage calculations.
  • He reasons that move power, type advantages, Effort Values, and Infinity Energy may matter more than base attack stats, making unconventional builds viable.
  • For Chansey, Baimu plans to teach disruptive and utility moves such as Toxic, Thunder Wave, Stealth Rock, and Ally Switch. He decides to research techniques online.

Character Development

  • Baimu: Becomes more aware of his moral compromise and the fragility of his current position. His regret transforms into a stronger determination to gain power and independence. As a trainer, he demonstrates increasingly sophisticated strategic thinking, questioning conventional game mechanics and adapting them to his world.
  • Lairon: Shows kindness and cleverness by using the hose to help Chansey cool down. Its level increase and new moves reflect growth from recent life-or-death battles. It enthusiastically accepts Baimu’s endurance-training plan.
  • Chansey: Remains considerate of Baimu’s privacy and appreciates Lairon’s help. Though less physically suited to the heat, it eagerly participates in training. Its future role is shifting toward support, disruption, and battlefield control rather than direct offense.
  • Flobo and the unseen buyer: Their actions deepen the mystery surrounding Mightyena and the medicine, suggesting a larger organization or hidden purpose behind the transaction.

Significant Themes

  • Power and helplessness: Baimu recognizes that money and status can force him into decisions he dislikes, and that true independence requires greater strength.
  • Moral ambiguity and hidden motives: The buyer’s interest in the Pokémon may extend beyond combat, leaving Baimu uncertain about what he has enabled.
  • Adaptation over rigid rules: Baimu questions whether conventional game-based assumptions about Physical and Special Attack apply in this world.
  • Training and steady growth: Endurance, consistency, and gradual improvement are emphasized over relying solely on dramatic abilities.
  • Information as power: The Internet’s shared knowledge becomes another resource Baimu can use to develop unusual strategies.

Character Interactions

  • Flobo and Baimu conduct a financially significant Pokémon transaction, with Flobo leaving behind the payment card and collection receipt.
  • Lairon playfully helps Chansey cool down with the hose, revealing their friendly relationship and Lairon’s thoughtfulness.
  • Baimu joins their water play briefly before redirecting both Pokémon toward training.
  • Baimu encourages Lairon while setting realistic limits for Chansey, showing both affection and practical concern.

  • Baimu begins practical training with Chansey and Lairon. Chansey struggles with the heat and suffers early heatstroke, while Lairon remains energetic and continues running.
  • After endurance exercises, Baimu takes them to the Underground City’s Battle Arena for combat training. Lairon repeatedly uses Tackle against Chansey so she can improve her physical defense and ability to withstand attacks.
  • Baimu reflects on the high cost and complexity of Pokémon training. Proper care requires medicine, nutrition, recovery, massages, and medical treatment, while injuries and illnesses can be serious even in the Pokémon world.
  • Recognizing that a Trainer must also be physically capable, Baimu begins training himself. He believes strength and fitness are necessary both for survival and for using advanced technology capable of opposing Pokémon.
  • After finishing the day’s training, Baimu lets both Pokémon rest in their Poké Balls.
  • He avoids the Underground City’s casinos, clubs, and other entertainment venues, viewing their atmosphere and addictive music as dangerous and ruinous.
  • That night, Baimu notices that his simulator’s cooldown has ended earlier than expected because of his previous battles and near-death tournament experience.
  • Hoping to improve his luck, he asks Chansey to repeatedly say “Lucky” before beginning another simulation. Lairon recognizes the ritual from the previous attempt and watches curiously.
  • Baimu chooses Kanto again, selects a female character, and discovers that Clefairy is now available as a starting Pokémon—likely because he successfully entered the tournament in the previous simulation.
  • He receives the blue fixed talent “Preschool Education,” which greatly accelerates Pokémon-raising progress.
  • Among the additional talents, he rejects “Ruthless” and selects “Attracting Bees and Butterflies” and “Kindhearted.”
  • The simulation begins, presenting him with a female character resembling the Trainer class known as a “Lass.”

Character Developments

  • Baimu becomes more responsible and knowledgeable as a Trainer. He understands that training involves far more than battles, including health care, nutrition, recovery, and financial planning. He also realizes that he must strengthen himself rather than rely entirely on his Pokémon.
  • He remains cautious and self-aware after his previous disastrous simulation, resisting the temptation to become overconfident about receiving good talents.
  • Chansey is shown as obedient and cooperative, though physically vulnerable and in need of endurance and defensive training. Her presence also becomes part of Baimu’s superstitious preparation for the simulation.
  • Lairon proves energetic and observant. He trains enthusiastically, worries about the sapling being harmed, and quietly follows Baimu’s simulation ritual despite not understanding human writing.
  • The newly selected simulated character is female and likely begins with Clefairy, marking a major change from the earlier simulations.

Significant Themes

  • Training as a complex discipline: Raising Pokémon requires medical knowledge, money, persistence, and careful attention to physical limits.
  • Responsibility and protection: Baimu must balance pushing his Pokémon to improve with preventing exhaustion, injury, and illness.
  • The cost of ambition: Successful training is expensive and demanding, helping explain why many Trainers frequently replace or switch Pokémon.
  • Human vulnerability versus Pokémon power: Humans cannot normally match Pokémon physically, so technology, preparation, and personal fitness become essential.
  • Luck, choice, and improvement: Baimu hopes that repeated failure will eventually lead to success, while the simulator’s talents and starting options suggest that his previous achievements may influence future opportunities.
  • Trust and companionship: Baimu’s relationship with Chansey and Lairon is becoming more familiar and affectionate, with both Pokémon participating in his routines in their own ways.

Character Interactions

  • Baimu monitors Chansey’s condition and forces her to take heatstroke medicine when she overexerts herself.
  • He directs Lairon’s attacks during Chansey’s defensive training, emphasizing controlled, evenly spaced hits rather than reckless violence.
  • Baimu encourages both Pokémon to stop training before they become excessively exhausted, showing concern for moderation and long-term health.
  • He asks Chansey to repeat “Lucky” as part of his preparation for the simulator, while Lairon watches and silently interprets the behavior as a sign that another simulation is about to begin.

Ch. 54The Brawler Appears

Chapter Summary: “The Brawler Appears”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • The simulation begins with a ten-year-old Lass and her longtime partner, Clefairy, setting out to pursue the Pokémon League. However, her parents force her to attend the prestigious Pokémon Research School instead.
  • At school, students are required to pass elementary, intermediate, and advanced examinations before qualifying for the tournament. Lass quickly becomes bored because the curriculum focuses almost entirely on theory and highly structured simulated battles.
  • Lass skips class and goes to the practical training area seeking a real opponent, but the wealthy students refuse to battle her because they do not know her.
  • While wandering the campus, Lass discovers several girls bullying another student through a treadmill-based questioning exercise called “Love’s Whipping.” The bullies claim it is a training method, but Lass recognizes it as cruelty.
  • Acting impulsively, Lass attacks one of the bullies instead of reporting the incident to a teacher. She then challenges the girls and demands that they apologize to the victim after she wins.
  • Lass easily defeats the girls in the questioning challenge, demonstrating that her knowledge far exceeds the elementary level. Rather than apologize, the girls challenge her to a Pokémon battle.
  • Lass eagerly accepts. Her seemingly cute Clefairy then shocks Baimu by brutally attacking the opponent’s Gloom with Fire Punch and Ice Punch, revealing that Lass and Clefairy are far more aggressive and battle-ready than their appearances suggest.

Character Developments

  • Lass: She is established as intelligent, energetic, impatient with rigid schooling, and instinctively protective of victims. Although apparently from a privileged background, she disregards etiquette and authority when she believes something is wrong. Her immediate resort to physical confrontation earns her the impression of a “brawler.”
  • Clefairy: Initially presented as a quiet companion who rarely leaves its Poké Ball, Clefairy is revealed to be a powerful and vicious battler. Its mastery of elemental punches contrasts sharply with its adorable appearance.
  • Baimu: He recognizes the setting as an adaptation of the Pokémon Research School storyline and compares Lass with Ash. He becomes increasingly surprised by Lass’s unconventional behavior and her unexpectedly brutal battle style.
  • The bullied girl: She is portrayed as timid and helpless under the girls’ harassment, relying on Lass to intervene.
  • The group of girls: They use “training” as a justification for bullying, refuse to apologize after being exposed, and shift the conflict into a Pokémon battle.

Significant Themes

  • Theory versus practical ability: The school values formal knowledge and rule-based training, while Lass craves genuine battles and practical experience.
  • Rebellion against rigid institutions: Lass’s boredom and class-skipping show her refusal to accept an education system that does not match her interests.
  • Bullying disguised as discipline: “Love’s Whipping” demonstrates how cruelty can be normalized by giving it an official or benevolent-sounding name.
  • Appearance versus reality: The cute Clefairy is actually a terrifyingly effective fighter, while Lass’s privileged, schoolgirl appearance hides a fierce and impulsive personality.
  • Justice through direct action: Lass does not rely on teachers or formal procedures; she confronts injustice personally and physically.

Character Interactions

  • Lass clashes with the school’s teachers and students by rejecting passive classroom learning and seeking real battles.
  • She confronts the bullying girls, defends the victim, and challenges their justification of “Love’s Whipping.”

  • After advancing to the upper division, Lass comforts an abandoned male Seadra, who joins her as a helper. She also recalls former partners Azumarill and Jumpluff, completing a six-Pokémon team.

Character Development

  • Shortly after nine o’clock, Flobo arrives with Mawile. He delivers her Poké Ball, medical report, favorite doll, personal belongings, and gifts from the boss. Baimu pays two million and receives an anonymous bank card.
  • Concerned that Mawile might damage the house if she becomes upset, Baimu releases her in the backyard rather than indoors.
  • Mawile emerges looking cute and harmless but immediately appears thoughtful and observant. She studies the yard, Baimu, Chansey, Lairon, the house, and the harsh desert heat. She then sighs and walks toward the gate, with Baimu following her.

He also becomes increasingly aware of his financial limitations and recognizes the need to improve his literacy, use his phone and the internet, and build a more secure future.

Despite her adorable appearance, she is intelligent, cautious, and visibly dissatisfied with Pyrite Town’s poor conditions.

Ch. 59Delicate on the Surface, Panicked Within

Chapter Summary: “Delicate on the Surface, Panicked Within”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Baimu brings Mawile into his home after its former Trainer entrusts it to him. Mawile is visibly displeased with its new surroundings and refuses to engage with the people around it.
  • Mawile silently demands water through gestures. Chansey understands and eagerly serves it, while Lairon watches with an unusual expression.
  • Baimu explains to Mawile that it is now far from its former home in Pyrite Town and cannot simply return. Its former Trainer has given it up, meaning Mawile must adjust to living with Baimu.
  • Mawile reacts angrily to this revelation and attempts to intimidate Baimu by thrusting its enormous jaw toward him. Baimu remains calm and points out that Mawile lacks the Intimidate Ability, causing the tactic to fail.
  • Rather than forcing immediate obedience, Baimu begins discussing Mawile’s future living arrangements and asks what it wants. When he presents Mawile’s familiar cloth doll, Mawile immediately grabs and hugs it, visibly becoming calmer.
  • Baimu realizes that Mawile’s apparent arrogance and rudeness are largely defensive reactions caused by fear, confusion, and homesickness. He decides to give it time instead of demanding instant loyalty.
  • At noon, Mawile returns to its Luxury Ball while Baimu prepares a shopping list for its needs. He plans to buy supplies both in surface shops and in the Underground City before attending literacy class.
  • Baimu reviews Mawile’s medical information: it is a level 45 female Steel/Fairy Pokémon with the Sheer Force Ability and a broad selection of fourteen moves.
  • He recognizes Mawile’s combat potential and, especially, its ability to Mega Evolve. Baimu looks forward to eventually obtaining a Key Stone and Mawilite, viewing Mawile as a valuable long-term investment.

Character Development

  • Mawile: Initially appears spoiled, aloof, and hostile, but its behavior is revealed to stem from panic and insecurity. Its attachment to its doll exposes its vulnerability and helps it relax around Baimu.
  • Baimu: Demonstrates patience and psychological insight. Instead of treating Mawile like his other Pokémon, he recognizes its unique circumstances and chooses gradual trust-building over force or pressure. His confidence is also emphasized when he remains unshaken by Mawile’s intimidation attempt.
  • Chansey: Acts naturally as a caretaker, quickly understanding Mawile’s request for water and happily serving it.
  • Lairon: Shows concern by attempting to protect Baimu when Mawile attacks, though Baimu stops it from intervening.

Significant Themes

  • Fear beneath hostility: The chapter emphasizes that anger, arrogance, and defiance can conceal anxiety and helplessness.
  • Patience in relationships: Baimu understands that trust cannot be demanded immediately and that meaningful cooperation requires time and sensitivity.
  • Pokémon intelligence and emotion: Pokémon are portrayed as possessing genuine, complex feelings rather than merely imitating human behavior.
  • Potential and investment: Mawile is viewed both as an emotionally vulnerable individual and as a powerful Pokémon with significant future combat and Mega Evolution potential.

Character Interactions

  • Chansey gently serves Mawile water, establishing a contrast between Mawile’s demanding behavior and Chansey’s cheerful helpfulness.
  • Mawile attempts to intimidate Baimu with its jaw, but Baimu responds calmly and refuses to be frightened.
  • Baimu avoids physically forcing contact and instead uses conversation and the familiar doll to earn Mawile’s trust.
  • Lairon tries to defend Baimu, demonstrating its loyalty, while Baimu prevents the confrontation from escalating.

Ch. 60Sweet-Toothed Fanatic

Chapter Summary: “Sweet-Toothed Fanatic”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Baimu takes Mawile shopping in Neutral Underground City No. 5. She becomes fascinated by a black, Gothic princess bed decorated with Gothitelle, though she pretends not to care about it.
  • Recognizing her concealed desire, Baimu buys the bed without hesitation. He also considers the sleeping arrangements of Lairon and Chansey, who have different reactions to the furniture.
  • Mawile then leads Baimu to a hamburger shop, revealing that she wants to try a human-style food she has never experienced before. Baimu, Mawile, Lairon, and Chansey eat hamburgers and drink cola together.
  • The meal noticeably improves the bond between Baimu and Mawile. Although Mawile pretends the food is only average, she clearly enjoys the cola and is especially fond of sweet things.
  • Baimu returns to his literacy class in the afternoon despite having skipped two days, knowing that education will be important for his future plans.
  • In the Sand Group’s Underground City, Liu Ge and Flobo discuss Baimu’s behavior. They conclude that he likely wants to escape Pyrite Town. Liu Ge decides not to recruit him directly but is willing to quietly assist him if necessary.
  • Liu Ge also learns that the test results connected to the antidote should arrive within a week, with development expected to take no more than six months. He continues enduring his difficult circumstances while waiting.
  • At dinner, Baimu gives Mawile, Chansey, and the others cream cake. Because of its cost and poor quality, he limits them to one piece every two days. Mawile is upset, while Chansey selflessly offers her own portion.

Character Developments

  • Baimu: Shows increasing attentiveness toward his Pokémon, especially Mawile. He understands her pride and indirect behavior, indulges her interests, and uses shared experiences such as eating out to build trust. At the same time, he remains practical and sets limits regarding food and expenses.
  • Mawile: Reveals a childish, sweet-loving side beneath her aloof attitude. She wants the princess bed, hamburgers, cola, and cake, but repeatedly disguises her excitement with indifference. Her willingness to accompany Baimu and enjoy these experiences suggests that she is becoming more comfortable with him.
  • Chansey: Demonstrates her gentle and self-sacrificing nature by offering Mawile her own cake portion. She also accepts almost any food cheerfully, making her easygoing but giving Baimu little insight into her actual preferences.
  • Lairon: Remains practical and physically aware, refusing to sleep on a bed he would crush. He also dislikes the cream cake, contrasting with Mawile’s enthusiasm for sweets.
  • Liu Ge: Continues to act cautiously and strategically. Though he understands Baimu’s desire to escape, he avoids directly involving him in the Sand Group’s affairs because of the risks.
  • Flobo: Serves as Liu Ge’s informant, reporting on Baimu’s literacy classes and bringing updates about the antidote.
  • Gliscor: Provides brief comic relief through its unexplained laughter and exaggerated reaction to Liu Ge’s smack.

Significant Themes

  • Building trust through shared experiences: Food, shopping, and small acts of generosity help Baimu and Mawile communicate despite their limited verbal relationship.
  • Affection expressed indirectly: Mawile hides her excitement behind false indifference, while Baimu recognizes and responds to her unspoken wishes.
  • Freedom and escape: Baimu’s literacy education reflects his desire to improve his future and eventually leave Pyrite Town. Liu Ge’s observations reinforce the oppressive nature of their environment.
  • Restraint versus indulgence: Baimu enjoys giving his Pokémon pleasant experiences but imposes reasonable limits, particularly on expensive or unhealthy sweets.
  • Different forms of care: Baimu provides food and comfort, Chansey offers her own share, and Liu Ge quietly considers helping Baimu without exposing him to greater danger.

Character Interactions

  • Baimu teases Mawile about her taste while secretly buying the princess bed she wants.
  • Mawile communicates her desires through gestures and facial expressions rather than direct speech, especially when leading Baimu to the hamburger shop.
  • During the meal, Baimu observes Mawile’s attempts to appear unimpressed, deepening his understanding of her personality.
  • Liu Ge and Flobo discuss Baimu’s intentions, with Liu Ge choosing indirect support over recruitment.
  • Baimu argues playfully with Mawile about the cream-cake limit, while Chansey attempts to resolve the conflict by giving Mawile her own portion.
