"Ah, you can't help me."
Chu Xin looked at Bai Le regretfully and shook his head.
He had already asked Bai Yuan while he was in Magic City, but Bai Yuan hadn't had a suitable solution either. If even Bai Yuan couldn't help, what could Bai Le do?
"How am I supposed to help if you don't tell me? Don't bottle things up."
Bai Le patted Chu Xin's shoulder helplessly. Beside them, Zhuo Xing set two cups of bubble tea on the table and watched Chu Xin, clearly wanting to hear about it too.
Ah, fine. Since they've both said that, they'll get annoyed if I keep hesitating.
Chu Xin picked up Kaka and settled him on his lap.
"When I went to Magic City, I met your brother Bai Yuan. We had another battle after we met, but this time I sent Kaka out. Things went well at first. Even Bai Yuan's Scyther couldn't withstand Kaka's Close Combat."
Bai Yuan and Zhuo Xing stared blankly when they heard that, then took a sharp sip of bubble tea.
Seriously? Even Chu Xin's second Pokémon could overpower Bai Yuan!
All three of them had taken the Monster Handler Examination, so they naturally knew how terrifying Bai Yuan's strength was. As his younger brother, Bai Le also knew that his brother was an Elite Four member's apprentice. Yet now even Chu Xin's second Pokémon could overpower him!
Did this world still make any sense?!
"Then... did you win in the end?"
Zhuo Xing asked tentatively, while Bai Le eagerly awaited Chu Xin's answer too.
"Well, actually, no."
Chu Xin scratched his head helplessly and patted Kaka on the head.
"Kaka's strong in close combat, but he knows nothing about ranged attacks. Once Bai Yuan's Scyther took flight, Kaka became a sitting duck.
