Ye Chen scoffed. "Xiaoyu, stop messing around. You know I love you. I don't want to bully you."
Seeing this, Qin Feng immediately stepped forward.
"Xiaoyu, this is between him and me. Stay out of it."
But unexpectedly!
Jiang Xiaoyu kept her eyes on Ye Chen and said calmly:
"This was between him and me to begin with. You shouldn't get dragged into it. I'll handle my own problems."
"If I lose today, I'll crawl a lap around the field."
Suddenly!
Qin Feng grabbed her hand and pulled her over to Bai Xiyue.
"Tonight, you just stay right here. You don't have to do anything."
"I'll handle this!"
Jiang Xiaoyu wanted to say something.
But when she saw the look in Qin Feng's eyes, she swallowed her words.
He had never looked so serious before.
Bai Xiyue gently patted her shoulder and whispered:
"Don't worry. Trust him!"
Inside the battle arena.
Qin Feng and Ye Chen stood on opposite sides.
Spectators had already packed the surrounding area.
Qin Feng turned to look at Pikachu on his shoulder and smiled.
"Scared?"
Egg Yolk shook its adorable little head.
"Pika~"
Then Egg Yolk leaped off Qin Feng's shoulder and landed in the arena.
Ye Chen also tossed out a Poké Ball and released Magneton.
The countdown on the big screen reached zero.
The battle began.
Ye Chen immediately dropped his smile and commanded Magneton:
"Use a magnetic attack!"
Magneton's heads instantly shifted position.
Then rings of dark magnetic ripples enveloped Pikachu.
The crushing magnetic force made it difficult for Pikachu to break free.
Its expression was full of pain.
Ye Chen said, "Magneton, now! Use Triangle Lightning!"
Qin Feng's expression grew grave at Ye Chen's words.
So his Magneton had mastered Triangle Lightning.
No wonder he was so arrogant.
Qin Feng said, "Egg Yolk, use Ten-Thousand-Volt Possession!"
Although Ten-Thousand-Volt Possession couldn't deal any meaningful damage to Magneton,
it could block and weaken the incoming Triangle Lightning.
"Pikachu~"
As Egg Yolk cried out, a powerful burst of electricity erupted from its body.
It collided head-on with the incoming Triangle Lightning.
After a dazzling explosion of light, Pikachu was flung backward and slammed into the ground.
Fortunately, Thunderbolt had absorbed most of the damage.
Otherwise, that attack might very well have knocked it out.
Ye Chen's Magneton, on the other hand, hadn't taken a single hit.
"That Magneton is too strong. Electric-type attacks can't hurt it at all."
"Exactly. Does Pikachu have any powerful moves besides Thunderbolt?"
"Ugh! He's definitely going to lose. All he can do is try not to lose too badly."
Hearing the crowd's comments, Jiang Xiaoyu and Bai Xiyue visibly grew disheartened.
Jiang Xiaoyu's nails were digging into her palms.
Seeing this, Bai Xiyue squeezed her hand and said, "Don't worry. Trust him!"
A smug smile appeared on Ye Chen's face as he addressed Qin Feng:
"Is that all you've got?"
"If that's the best you can do, then sorry about this."
Qin Feng ignored him. "Egg Yolk, find a way to get close."
"Pika!"
Egg Yolk shot forward, darting nimbly across the arena.
After escaping the range of Magneton's magnetic attack, it charged straight in for a tackle.
But unexpectedly!
Magneton's three heads suddenly separated.
Pikachu's tackle failed to connect.
The attack missed.
Pikachu rallied and charged forward again.
Magneton unleashed Triangle Lightning as well.
Just as Triangle Lightning was about to hit Pikachu,
it abruptly twisted sideways in midair, changing direction and dodging the attack.
Qin Feng shouted, "Now, Egg Yolk! Use Thunderbolt Iron Tail!"
"Pi~ka~~"
With an angry cry from Pikachu,
all its electricity instantly gathered in its tail, which began to glow.
Everyone present held their breath.
Then Pikachu swung hard, sweeping its tail straight into one of Magneton's heads!
ィ(。@ω @。)タ
Magneton's eyes began to spin, and it crashed heavily to the ground.
Every spectator stood stunned.
"How could Ye Chen lose? No, Qin Feng must have cheated! Otherwise, Ye Chen never would've lost!"
"Right, Qin Feng must have used some underhanded trick. Pikachu can't beat Magneton."
"You can do that? You can use Pikachu like that?"
"Doesn't Pikachu just summon lightning and act cute? This makes no sense!"
"I don't care how he won anymore. I want to know whether Ye Chen will crawl around the field now."
"Probably not. He's the young master of the Ye Family. How could he?"
In his previous life, Qin Feng had been with Pikachu since he was ten.
By the time he transmigrated, they had spent six years together.
During that time, he had caught various Pokémon, and traded or released many of them.
But Pikachu alone had stayed with him until the end.
Their trust and understanding were beyond question.
Moreover, under Qin Feng's training and through countless battles, Pikachu had grown far stronger than other Pokémon of its kind.
An ordinary Pikachu really wouldn't have stood a chance against Magneton!
A smile now appeared on Jiang Xiaoyu's beautiful face.
At last, her anxious heart settled.
However, she quietly turned and left with Jigglypuff in her arms.
Bai Xiyue didn't stop her. Given the situation, Qin Feng would ultimately have to clear up the misunderstanding himself.
Ye Chen's chest heaved, his face deathly pale.
He looked as though he had just fought a brutal battle himself.
"Young Master Ye, will you honor the bet?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
By his reckoning, Ye Chen would most likely try to wriggle out of it.
Ye Chen snorted coldly. "Qin Feng, sooner or later, I'll make you pay for today."
With that, he recalled Magneton and left as well.
The spectators gradually dispersed.
Bai Xiyue came over to Qin Feng and said softly:
"Xiaoyu left."
Qin Feng asked, "Why did she leave again?"
Bai Xiyue didn't know whether to laugh or get angry. "She's still upset! Don't you understand anything about how girls think?"
Qin Feng thought, I don't understand?
I understand perfectly well, okay? She's a girl who values loyalty and affection, and she's afraid of dragging me into this!
Ten minutes later.
Wang Lin sent him a message: "Madman, Ye Chen really is going to crawl around the field on his knees."
He followed it with a video.
In the video, Ye Chen stood alone on the running track.
But he still hadn't dropped to his knees.
Qin Feng handed his phone to Bai Xiyue. "Do you think he'll actually kneel?"
Bai Xiyue propped her chin on one hand. "Probably not?"
