The Battle of Hoppip

The hall was always very lenient towards these brain-dead young people who needed medical treatment. "Hoppip, quick, Fairy Wind! It seems a Pokémon suddenly appeared. Let's knock it out first."

Although Hoppip didn't think the creature in front of her was Pokémon, she followed the principle of doing whatever the Lord said and unhesitatingly used Fairy Wind.

I see. That's probably how villains teach their Pokémon.

Dian had been puzzled all along. Some gentle Pokémon were actually unwilling to attack humans, but in the hands of some people, they attacked without any hesitation. He guessed that they used methods similar to Dian's.

It's okay, go for it. That guy over there isn't human. Don't worry, if he dies, it's on me; if he lives, it's on you... That's why they attacked so ruthlessly, Hyper Beam, as if they were afraid of not killing him.

"You!"

The arrogant youth was shocked and quickly fell to the side, but he was still brushed aside by the Fairy Wind. Although he was not seriously injured, he was still tumbled twice, which was really embarrassing.

"Huh?! It's a human?! Aren't they supposed to be Pokémon that jump out of the bushes?!"

Dian immediately put on an expression as if his worldview had been cleansed, "But why would someone suddenly jump out when they're clearly a person? Is there some unspeakable reason?"

He immediately gave the flushed young man a look that said, "Don't worry, I understand," and then added, "Poor thing..."

"You! You actually dared to send Pokémon to attack me!"

The young man's anger surged, and hearing these sarcastic remarks, he could no longer hold back. "I'll report you to Officer Jenny for intentional assault!"

"You're injured?! A breeze that can't even pop Air Balloon has injured you? Are you so weak that you're even weaker than Air Balloon??"

Dian exclaimed in alarm, "For the sake of us both being Trainer, brother, I suggest you take care of your health. You can't keep playing like this. What will you do when you're old?"

It was already close to afternoon, and there were quite a few people leisurely enjoying afternoon tea in the park.

"Mom? What is kidney deficiency?"

A little girl sat in her mother's lap and asked innocently, "If I have kidney deficiency, will I get hurt by the wind?"

"Uh... Yiyi, be good, you'll understand these things later."

His mother glared at the Kidney-Deficient Youth and the man who was publicly corrupting children, then quickly took her child and left.

If I stay any longer, what if my precious daughter blurts out during dinner, "Daddy, Daddy, do you have kidney deficiency?"

What should we do?!

Although the children had left, there were still quite a few people who felt the event wasn't lively enough.

"Hey! Kidney-Deficient Youth, aren't you going to say something?"

"What else can I say? They all have kidney deficiency."

Two people who had nothing better to do and finally found something to do quickly started fanning the flames.

The Kidney-Deficient Youth blushed as he watched the young women around him pointing and whispering, some even taking pictures with their phones – what a scoundrel!

He knew that if he didn't wash away this humiliation today, even if he eventually ascended to the throne of Elite, he would probably be secretly ridiculed as the "Elite with Kidney Deficiency."

Thinking of this, his hands trembled slightly, and the Poké Ball he took out from his waist accidentally rolled to the ground.

Snap...

The entire audience held their breath.

Could it be...?

Could it be...?

Could it really be kidney deficiency?

For a moment, the onlookers, who had initially taken it as a joke, started to believe it. "If you didn't have kidney deficiency, how could you not even hold Poké Ball? If this were a Western movie, it would be like dropping your gun during a duel..."

Dian Du was somewhat shocked. Could it be that his system was not the so-called data master, but rather just talk, or golden words?

This is a bit inappropriate. Joking is fine, but a good person like him wouldn't do something like reopening old wounds.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't expect this. I won't say anything more, and don't try to explain. I doubt you'll understand, but it must have been difficult. Sigh..."

He covered his head and offered a Sincerity apology.

The Kidney-Deficient Youth was taken aback; why couldn't he feel happy at all after being apologized to?

He quickly turned to the man next to him and said, "Let me explain..."

"Brother, don't explain... I was wrong, I shouldn't have joked with you. I'll leave now. I really don't understand, please understand me."

I was just about to woo a girl, and it was almost a done deal. If I can understand your explanation, what will become of me? Life isn't easy for anyone, please let me go, please forgive me."

The man immediately covered his head and turned to run away.

That was close! I almost got mistaken for someone with kidney deficiency. Is this some new scam?!

The world is so dangerous, the morals are deteriorating, it's terrifying. He, a promising young man, almost went down in the dark.

Instantly, every man who wasn't stupid ran away, and even the women didn't dare stay there. The topic was too vulgar, and they said they didn't understand anything about it.

In an instant, not only the park fell silent again, but also the heart of the Kidney-Deficient Youth. His heart had turned cold; he could already imagine himself making headlines on the Pokémon Trainer Forum tomorrow, and then... hah... would there even be a "after"?!

It's you, it's you, it's all you!

He said through gritted teeth.

"Hmm, I think you've got it wrong. It should be him, it's him, it's him. Come on, say it like that, see if it sounds better."

Dian solemnly corrected the other person's language problem.

"Charmander!! Burn him and his Pokémon to ashes!"

The Kidney-Deficient Youth finally picked up the Poké Ball from the ground, immediately began to tremble, and roared loudly.

"Snort..."

Dian didn't speak, but a disdainful smile appeared on his lips.

I thought it was a Charizard when it burned me to ashes, but it was just a Charmander.

If even a Charmander can burn me to ashes, then what's the point of me working so hard for so long?

He crossed his arms and silently stepped aside, Hoppip ran ahead with great ambition, ready to begin its first battle.

No, this may not be its first battle, but it is the first time it has started fighting with something different on its shoulders.

Soon, with a flash of Red Light, Pokémon resembling a small dinosaur appeared on the field, its tail burning with red flames, covered in orange skin, and possessing blue eyes.

"Charmander."

Dian looked up at the sky; although it was already afternoon, it was still a Sunny Day.

However, the flames on the tail of the opposing Charmander did not show any significant increase.

"It seems either its Ability hasn't even awakened yet, or it's a Charmander with the Blaze."
