The Take Down Hu Bin Squad

Hu Bin was in a wonderful mood. Holding Vulpix in his arms, he hummed a tune all the way home!

Only when he reached his front door did Hu Bin realize that he had been so happy chatting with Qin An that he seemed to have completely forgotten his buddies and left them at the Training Hall!

"Hiss!" Hu Bin sucked in a sharp breath. Oh, heavens! They haven't contacted me all this time. They must have seen me leaving with Qin An. They're probably hunting around for something to beat me with right now!

Cold sweat began to bead on Hu Bin's forehead. I think I'd better do something! Otherwise, I'm pretty sure I'm done for!

Meanwhile, inside the Training Hall, Wu Jin, Liu Yi, and Yi Nanzi sat on the sofa, staring at one another in silence!

The atmosphere was tense and oppressive!

With a somber expression, Wu Jin said hoarsely, "Hu Bin has really crossed the line this time. He's hurt us deeply!"

Yi Nanzi's gaze was icy too. "Hu Bin has committed a serious offense this time. We can't let him off lightly!"

Liu Yi gritted his teeth. "Let's burn him. What he did this time is unforgivable."

They all nodded, and in an instant, murderous intent blazed around the three of them!

The Take Down Hu Bin Squad was officially formed!

Wu Jin stood up and gazed at the sunset outside the window, desolation written all over his face. "Hu Bin was our big brother. He once made that bold declaration: a man who would stand at the pinnacle of Pokémon would never let a woman sway him!"

Then his expression grew sorrowful, and his voice filled with even greater grief and indignation. "But now... now he's forgotten his promise. He's changed! He's changed!"

Yi Nanzi and Liu Yi both rose to their feet, their faces equally full of grief and indignation!

"This time, we have to teach Hu Bin a lesson! Make him remember that grand declaration of his!"

Quite a few people in the Training Hall watched the trio in alarm, wondering who on earth had driven them to this state. They're so scary! Mommy! I want to go home!

The Take Down Hu Bin Squad set out, marching toward Hu Bin's house with weapons in hand and menace in every step!

Behind the Take Down Hu Bin Squad, the faint silhouette of a grim reaper holding a scythe appeared, gazing toward Hu Bin's home!

Hu Bin was busy in the kitchen when he suddenly shuddered all over. He muttered to himself, "This is bad. I can feel them coming. I've got to hurry!"

"Vulpix, come help me chill the beer!"

"Vul!" Vulpix also sensed murderous intent slowly approaching their home and eagerly helped Hu Bin, not daring to waste a moment!

The Take Down Hu Bin Squad stood at Hu Bin's front door, their faces expressionless!

Weapons in hand, they were ready to strike the moment the door opened and pass harsh judgment on Hu Bin!

Wu Jin knocked rhythmically on the door. Inside, Hu Bin broke out in a cold sweat as his heart pounded in time with the knocking.

Vulpix was so frightened that the little Pokémon hid behind Hu Bin.

"Vul!" I'll protect my trainer from back here!

Hu Bin steadied himself, let out a deep breath, and reached out with a trembling hand to open the door and face his judgment!

The moment he opened the door, Hu Bin put on a smile and said with gentlemanly courtesy, "Welcome, my three esteemed brothers! Welcome to my humble home. Your presence truly brightens this place!"

Wu Jin and the other two were stunned when they saw him. Hu Bin had changed into a suit and white gloves and was looking at them with a gentlemanly smile!

All three muttered warily, "What... what's he playing at?"

Looking at the weapons in their hands, Hu Bin felt the corner of his eye twitch. They really do want to kill me! He cursed the three idiots inwardly, but his smile only grew brighter!

Wu Jin considered for a moment before saying, "Hu Bin, do you know what you've done wrong?"

Hu Bin was panicking inside, but the smile never left his face. Pretending not to have heard, he continued, "My brothers, you must be hungry after a whole day of training. Your little brother has prepared a sumptuous feast for you. Please, come in."

With that, Hu Bin stepped aside, bent at the waist, and gestured for them to enter!

Wu Jin and the others were baffled. What's all this about? Is this a trap disguised as a banquet?

Smelling the delicious aroma wafting from the living room, Liu Yi could barely resist. He whispered to Yi Nanzi and Wu Jin, "It smells pretty good. How about we go in and have something first? We can deal with him afterward!"

Yi Nanzi and Wu Jin couldn't stand it either. That smells way too good!

They readily agreed with Liu Yi, nodding slightly before swaggering into Hu Bin's home.

Hu Bin closed the door with a smile and breathed out. He had dodged a bullet!

Wu Jin and the other two sat down at the dining table with their legs spread, drooling helplessly at the feast before them.

"This smells amazing! Slurp!"

Beaming, Hu Bin approached with the beer, filled their glasses, and said with gentlemanly courtesy, "My brothers, all your dishes have been served, and your glasses are full. Please enjoy!"

With that, he turned and left. Wu Jin, Yi Nanzi, and Liu Yi were dumbfounded. He's actually realized his mistake today. You're making it awfully hard for us to beat you up!

Tch, Hu Bin, you're lucky! We forgive you!

And so the three idiots forgave Hu Bin's outrageous behavior. Still, although he had escaped the death penalty, he wasn't getting off scot-free. Once they had eaten their fill, they would hold a serious discussion with him about his attitude!

With their worries gone, the three dug into the feast. Oh, man! This is delicious!

Hu Bin then began preparing dinner for Machoke, Munchlax, and Cyndaquil together with Vulpix.

Heaping servings of Curry Rice, colorful Pokéblocks, and delicious Moomoo Milk had the Pokémon drooling all over the floor!

At Hu Bin's signal, Vulpix ran over to have a little chat with the other Pokémon.

"Vul, vul!" Friends, do you want to keep eating delicious food in the future?

The Pokémon all nodded!

Vulpix said, "Vul! Vul!" Then what should we do now that someone wants to hurt the person who makes delicious food for you?

The Pokémon were outraged and eagerly answered Vulpix!

"Boss, if anyone dares lay a hand on Brother Hu Bin, we'll beat them up!"

Vulpix nodded in satisfaction and looked toward Hu Bin.

"Vul!" All taken care of!

Hu Bin gave Vulpix a thumbs-up and thought, Perfect. In a little while, it'll be your Brother Bin's turn to strike back!

Soon, once Wu Jin and the others had nearly finished eating, they said to Hu Bin, "Hu Bin, come clear the table. We're going to give you a proper lesson in morals and ethics afterward!"

Hu Bin didn't move. Instead, he stared coldly at them!

Seeing the look in Hu Bin's eyes, Wu Jin, Liu Yi, and Yi Nanzi felt a little frightened!

But then they remembered that they had come to teach Hu Bin a lesson. They were in the right, so they straightened their backs again!

They locked eyes with Hu Bin across the room!

But at that moment, Wu Jin, Liu Yi, and Yi Nanzi were struck with terror. "Holy shit!"

Vulpix had brought Cyndaquil, Machoke, and Munchlax over, and all four Pokémon were glaring at the three idiots!

Instantly, the trio broke out in a cold sweat and said ingratiatingly to Hu Bin, "Brother Bin, we were wrong!"

Hu Bin smiled faintly at the three idiots. Standing among the Pokémon, he said, "Then hurry up and wash the dishes and sweep the floor!"
