"Hello, is the Dragon King there?"
Ye Qing took out his phone and called Doduo, greeting him warmly the moment the call connected.
"What do you think?"
The moment the Dragon Tamer heard Ye Qing's tone, he knew what Ye Qing wanted from him, so he immediately began putting on airs.
Well, well, this Doduo is actually putting on airs.
Ye Qing resisted the urge to call him out and continued, "I heard registration for the Elite Four Tournament has already closed?"
The Dragon Tamer feigned distress. "Yes, it closed a week ago. I even specifically had someone call to notify you, but they couldn't reach you at all."
This Doduo is quite the actor. Whether I get registered is just a matter of him saying the word, isn't it?
Still, thoughts were one thing. Since he was asking someone for a favor, he had to maintain the right attitude.
"Yeah, my big brother insisted on dragging me off to train. You know his temper. There was no room for discussion."
Ye Qing began casually spinning a tall tale. Although he was asking for a favor, he couldn't show too much weakness, lest Doduo make some troublesome demand.
"Your big brother? Mewtwo?"
At the mention of Mewtwo, the Dragon Tamer's breathing involuntarily quickened.
Ye Qing held back his laughter. "Yeah, who else would my big brother be? This really held things up. How about I ask my big brother to confirm whether it's true for you?"
"Ahem, no need. Adding another slot isn't difficult. Just send me a copy of the information on your Pokédex."
The Dragon Tamer hung up as soon as he finished speaking, thinking how unlucky he was. Really, he knew perfectly well how sharp Ye Qing's tongue was, so why had he bothered putting on airs?
