Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief. This was only the first step in helping Feebas regain her confidence. Once Wang Yao's Pokéblocks arrived, he believed she would become completely confident in time.
After returning Feebas to her Poké Ball, Ye Qing decided to raise her as his hidden trump card for now, so he had no intention of letting anyone know she existed.
He hurried through a shower, then fell face-first onto his bed and went straight to sleep without even bothering with dinner.
The morning sun shone over the land, and various common bird Pokémon chirped on the branches around the residential complex.
"Whether in fire, in water, in the grass, or in the forest. Whether in the earth, in the clouds, or up that girl's pleated skirt~"
His ringtone rang out, waking Ye Qing from his sleep.
"Who is it? I'd just dreamed I was getting to the crucial part with Gardevoir, and now you wake me up?"
Ye Qing opened his eyes groggily, complaining in irritation.
The moment he answered, Wang Yao's booming voice came through.
"Ye, still asleep? Have you thought about my suggestion? Want to explore that Unfinished Building complex?"
"No!"
Ye Qing's morning grumpiness kicked in, and he refused before Wang Yao could finish.
"There'll be girls! Pretty girls!"
Afraid Ye Qing would refuse, Wang Yao immediately brought out his trump card.
"No."
Ye Qing hung up after that, trying to see whether he could pick up where his dream had left off.
Who was he kidding? Was there anyone in this world prettier than Gardevoir?
"He hung up?"
Wang Yao awkwardly lowered his disconnected phone and looked at the beautiful woman before him, puzzled and confused. What was wrong with his buddy? Was he not even interested in women anymore?
