Chapter 37: Ba Xi
When they went to School today, Brionne absolutely refused to go into its Poké Ball, so Bai Feng had no choice but to bring it along like that.
Having just undergone Evolution into its new form, Brionne was very vain and insisted on showing off its beautiful appearance to others.
As soon as he and Brionne entered the Classroom, Da Fu ran over and said, "Wow, Bai Feng, your Popplio evolved! Is this Brionne? So cute!"
"Yeah!" Bai Feng quietly shielded Brionne behind him, then added, "Your Furfrou is still cuter though."
Brionne knew Da Fu was a pervert with strange tastes, so it cooperatively hid behind Bai Feng.
"Right? Right?" As soon as Furfrou was mentioned, Da Fu got Excited. "I also think my Furfrou is the cutest!"
Seeing Da Fu start rambling again, Bai Feng walked straight past him back to his seat.
Just then, Wa Lian turned around and whispered to Bai Feng, "Hey, did you know there's a big shot coming over to the Battle Major side today?"
"A big shot? What kind of big shot?" Bai Feng asked curiously.
"I don't know about that," Wa Lian shook her head. "I'm not in the Battle Major, I just heard it through the grapevine, but it's probably eighty percent accurate."
"Then it has nothing to do with us, does it?" Bai Feng said. "We're not in the Battle Major."
"Aren't you curious? Do you want to go take a look with me later?" Wa Lian asked softly.
Just then, Da Fu suddenly leaned his head over. "Go see what? How about you take me too?"
"Ah!!!"
Wa Lian was startled by Da Fu and instinctively slapped him.
*Slap!*
Instantly, a bright red Palm print appeared on Da Fu's face.
"Why did you hit so hard!" Da Fu said angrily, covering his face.
"Who told you to suddenly lean in! You think you're right for eavesdropping!" Wa Lian was so angry at Da Fu she was stamping her feet.
Just then, it was Time for class, so Da Fu and Wa Lian had to temporarily cease fire.
In the afternoon, there was indeed a big commotion from the Battle Major side. Wa Lian quickly ran to the window to check the Situation.
"See, I told you a big shot was coming! Bai Feng, come take a look!" Wa Lian waved at Bai Feng while trying hard to see towards the Battle Major side.
Bai Feng was also a little curious about which big shot was coming today, so he also ran to the window and strained to see.
Unfortunately, the location of their Teaching Building and the Battle Major's Teaching Building wasn't ideal. They could only see a black sedan driving into the Battle Major's Teaching Building from afar. Many teachers came out to greet it, but they couldn't clearly see who got out of the car.
"How about we go over and take a look?" Wa Lian was simply too curious.
"But class is about to start!"
"So what if class starts? Missing one class won't hurt anything!" Wa Lian said indifferently.
Bai Feng was about to say something else, but Wa Lian had already grabbed his hand and run out.
"Hey~ Wait for me, I'm going too!" Seeing this, Da Fu quickly chased after them.
The class bell soon rang, and students returned to their Classrooms one after another, while Bai Feng and the other two quietly snuck into the Battle Major's Teaching Building.
"Where should we go to find the big shot?" Bai Feng asked curiously.
Just then, Da Fu chimed in, "Of course, it's the Multifunctional Hall! Usually, when the School has an Activity, it's held there."
Wa Lian gave him a surprised look. "I didn't expect you to have a smart moment!"
Da Fu glared at her angrily. "I've always been smart!"
But Wa Lian completely ignored him and had already headed towards the Multifunctional Hall with Bai Feng.
Da Fu's guess was indeed correct. The big shot was giving a speech to the Battle Major students in the Multifunctional Hall.
Da Fu looked through the glass window and saw the person on the podium, so Excited he almost cried out.
"It's Kalos Queen Ba Xi! The one who came today is actually Kalos Queen Ba Xi!"
"Kalos Queen Ba Xi? Who's that?" Bai Feng was confused by Da Fu's Excited reaction. Was this person very famous?
Just then, Wa Lian also looked at Bai Feng with a strange expression.
"Bai Feng, which Mountain did you crawl out of? You don't know Kalos Queen Ba Xi? The Kalos Queen, the Kalos Queen!"
The Three Crown Tournament is a national Activity in the Kalos Region, with very high popularity. Therefore, once someone becomes the Kalos Queen, they immediately become a household name.
"That's right, Kalos Queen Ba Xi is the current Kalos Queen, a super Performer who dominated all the Three Crown Tournaments! My perfect goddess!" Da Fu said with a look of rapture.
"That amazing?"
Bai Feng really didn't know such a person existed. In recent years, he had spent all his Time cultivating fruit trees, with pitifully little leisure Time, let alone paying attention to things like the Three Crown Tournament.
He looked inside through the glass window and saw that Kalos Queen Ba Xi, whom Da Fu and Wa Lian were talking about, had long grayish-black hair, wore a black suit jacket, was tall and had a beautiful face. She was indeed a beautiful young woman.
"How do we get in?" Da Fu was pacing back and forth outside in frustration. "I think the School is really unfair. Kalos Queen Ba Xi came to the School, but they only arranged a speech for the Battle Major. Aren't we students of the School too?"
"But we're in the Breeding Major, which has nothing to do with the Performer profession," Bai Feng said matter-of-factly. "Many students in the Battle Major will pursue the Performer profession in the future, so isn't it normal for them to have the speech?"
Wa Lian had been pressed against the glass window, listening carefully. Suddenly, she said, "It seems Kalos Queen Ba Xi isn't giving a speech. It looks like she's going to choose a student to inherit her mantle!"
"Choose a student..."
Before Da Fu could shout out, Bai Feng quickly covered his mouth. Seeing this, Wa Lian slapped him on the forehead and cursed in a low voice, "Are you trying to get us killed? You're practically begging to be Discovered!"
Da Fu quickly apologized. "Sorry, sorry, I was just too Excited! Kalos Queen Ba Xi is actually taking on a student! I wonder who will be lucky enough to be chosen!"
Wa Lian rolled her eyes and said, "Definitely not you or me!" Although she also liked Kalos Queen Ba Xi, she wasn't as fanatical as Da Fu and wouldn't switch Majors for Kalos Queen Ba Xi!
"Now that we've seen what we came for, let's go back," Bai Feng suggested.
"Alright, let's go back." Wa Lian nodded. Her curiosity had been satisfied.
Only Da Fu was still a bit reluctant to leave.
The three of them quietly returned together to the Breeding Major's Teaching Building.
"Reporting!" Bai Feng said, standing at the Classroom door. Wa Lian and Da Fu stood behind him.
"Where did you three run off to? Don't you know it's Time for class?" The teacher scolded the three of them with a stern face.
"Reporting, Teacher! Da Fu fell and his face got swollen, so we took him to see the School Nurse!" Wa Lian pulled Da Fu forward and said, pointing at his still-swollen face.
"Oh, I see. Be careful next Time." The teacher stopped being angry when he heard this, but as Da Fu walked past the podium, the teacher added, "Why does Da Fu's face look like it has a Palm print on it?"
"Teacher, you're mistaken, that's from falling!" Da Fu replied firmly.
"Alright, alright, be careful when you walk next Time!" The teacher stopped talking nonsense, turned around, and continued the lesson.
News about Kalos Queen Ba Xi coming to No. 4 Middle School quickly spread throughout the entire School campus, and the news that she was taking on a student also spread everywhere.
During the break, you could hear students discussing this matter everywhere.
Bai Feng didn't go Home at noon. He arranged to meet Senior Zhen Li at the Cafeteria.
However, as soon as Senior Zhen Li met Bai Feng, she asked Excitedly, "Did you know? Kalos Queen Ba Xi came to our School! They say she's even taking on a student!"
"Uh... Senior Zhen Li, are you also a fan of Kalos Queen Ba Xi?"
"Of course! That's Kalos Queen Ba Xi!" Senior Zhen Li said as if it were obvious. "Did you see Kalos Queen Ba Xi at the School?"
"I did." Bai Feng nodded and told Senior Zhen Li about him and Wa Lian skipping class to see Kalos Queen Ba Xi.
Senior Zhen Li said Excitedly, "That's so cool! I wish I had been there too!"
"Alright, alright, Senior Zhen Li." Bai Feng interrupted Senior Zhen Li's fantasy. "Let's talk about the real reason I asked you here."
Only then did Zhen Li remember that Bai Feng seemed to have asked her to meet for something important, so she quickly stopped the topic and asked, "Alright, what did you need me for?"
"It's like this," Bai Feng said. "I just caught a Larvitar, so I wanted to ask you what I should pay attention to when feeding a Larvitar?"
"Larvitar? You actually managed to catch such a rare Pokémon?" Senior Zhen Li almost spat out the rice in her mouth. "Where did you catch it? You didn't break the law, did you?"
Nowadays, places where Pokémon like Larvitar appear are basically restricted areas for capture.
