Inside the school's battle arena, Teacher Liu quickly secured a standard-sized battlefield, and the students of Class 1 poured in with frantic excitent.
Under the teacher's arrangent, Lorze was the first to step onto the field, simultaneously releasing the pure white Ralts everyone had been dying to see.
The tiny pure white figure materializing on the field instantly pounced into Lorze's arms, affectionately hugging his face and planting a wet kiss on his lips right in front of the entire class.
This little gesture was either a warning to the boys that she was already taken and they should stop their lecherous dreaming...
Or she was telling those thirsty teenage girls that this handso boy already had a master, and nobody was allowed to steal him!
The surrounding students were stunned into a jealous silence, not knowing who they were more envious of.
All they knew was that Lorze was a total animal—he wouldn't even spare a tiny Ralts. You filthy, perverted lolicon!
Waaaaah! We aren't jealous at all! Not at all!!!
"Stop standing there staring like idiots. No matter how much you look, she won't beco your partner. Soone get up here already, or should I start calling nas?" Even Teacher Liu couldn't help but steal a few glances at the pure white Ralts; a Shiny Pokémon was truly the ultimate status symbol.
However, she wasn't a teenage boy and didn't have a degenerate obsession with Ralts, so she quickly regained her professional composure.
In contrast, the students who had been loudly demanding a battle suddenly grew quiet and "obedient" once they reached the arena. Weren't they supposed to test the "absolute value" of this Tournant Champion?
Why the hell did they all go limp at the last second?
Teacher Liu's gaze swept across the students, and they all awkwardly looked away.
Flexing and talking shit was one thing, but actually stepping into the ring was a different story~.
No matter how much they convinced themselves they were as good as Lorze, the reality of the power gap was undeniable. He was a Tournant Champion, and his Starter was a Psychic-type—one of the two "Insurmountable Mountains." Not just any random loser could hope to challenge him.
They were happy to bark in front of the girls, but when it ca to a real fight, they preferred to let the class officers test the waters first...
Teacher Liu knew this perfectly well. In her mind, there were only a handful of students in the class who could even trade blows with Lorze.
But those students were sharp; they knew Lorze was a nightmare to handle and wanted soone else to act as a sacrificial lamb first.
As a result, no one stepped forward. Lorze stood alone in the center of the field while the class stood in an embarrassing, cowardly silence.
Seriously, do you guys actually think you can attract girls acting like this?
If no one steps up, every girl in the class is going to have her soul sucked away by Lorze.
He's handso, he's powerful—how the hell are you going to compete with that later?
Left with no choice, Teacher Liu had to personally pick a victim: "Fine, stop playing the staring ga. Cheng Ming, you're up first."
"?" Cheng Ming went silent for a mont. He didn't seem surprised to be called.
After all, his Pokémon was a Houndour—a vicious hellhound possessing the dual Dark and Fire typing.
It wasn't strange for the teacher to pick a Dark-type to "reveal" the match against a Psychic-type.
But Cheng Ming had one major concern: Did the Dark-type actually counter this Psychic-type?
Normally, yes... but this Ralts clearly wasn't normal. She had chased and bullied a Dark-type Frogadier across the arena!
But being called out in front of all the girls—especially Xue Yi—ant he couldn't back down. he had to grit his teeth and step up.
His Houndour had been pre-cultivated for an entire year; it wasn't weaker than the Top 4 competitors in the tournant. In terms of raw stamina, it might even be tankier than that Frogadier. He had a fighting chance, as long as he didn't get hit by that bizarre, "illegal" Thunder Punch.
"Let's begin. I will act as the referee, and my Lopunny will be on standby to prevent any dangerous situations. Fight with everything you've got." Teacher Liu took her seat at the referee's stand and released her partner, Lopunny.
The school's arena lacked the luxury of a full-field energy shield. To prevent stray moves from injuring the audience, a powerful Pokémon was required to guard the matches.
This Lopunny wasn't quite at the Elite level yet, but it was more than enough to handle a rookie brawl.
She wanted to see for herself exactly what secret was hidden behind that Thunder Punch!
"Houndour, stay mobile! Find an opening and use Crunch!" Cheng Ming imdiately entered a state of high combat tension, barking orders to his partner.
He had watched Lorze's matches. He knew Ralts's kit. If he stood still, he was just a target dummy.
His only advantage was that his Houndour's moveset was a total secret. If he could catch Ralts as she closed the distance, he might actually secure a win.
That's right! If she dares to Teleport close, I'll take the match!
So... close the distance already, you bastard!
But what nobody expected was that Ralts had another "cheat code" hidden besides her telekinesis and her mystery punch!!!
Houndour received the command, but instead of executing it, he began to act like a pathetic "simp." He approached Ralts with extre caution and then literally prostrated himself in front of her. He let out soft, whining "wu-huu" sounds, looking for all the world like he was desperately trying to beg for her favor.
The vicious hellhound of the underworld had turned into a helpless, tail-wagging puppy the second it saw the cute Ralts. It was an absolutely humiliating, jaw-dropping display of submission!
"Houndour?! What the hell are you doing?! MOVE!" Cheng Ming was stunned. His Houndour was disobeying him?
This specific Houndour was known for being exceptionally aggressive due to its high talent; even Cheng Ming's parents couldn't get near it. It was exclusively intimate with its Trainer. It was logically impossible for it to ignore his voice.
"Houndour! What's wrong with you?! Can you hear ?!" Cheng Ming panicked. The situation was too eerie—it was more terrifying than getting punched. He couldn't wrap his head around what was happening.
Why has my hellhound turned into a thirsty simp?! Soone tell why!
"Pfft! Your Houndour is a male, isn't he?" Lorze couldn't hold back his laughter. Even he didn't expect the match to end this effortlessly.
"So what if he's male?!" Cheng Ming's face darkened. So what if your Ralts is female? Are you saying I'd only have a chance if I had a female dog?
"What he ans is, your Houndour has been hit by Cute Charm." Teacher Liu looked at the little "lapdog" in the arena and sighed helplessly. Even she hadn't anticipated this strategy.
While everyone was waiting for a devastating Thunder Punch, Lorze had just proven that not everyone was even worthy of seeing his "ultimate move."
Ralts must have Traced Lopunny's Cute Charm Ability. This trait allows a Pokémon to infatuate opponents of the opposite gender upon contact, making them ignore their Trainer's commands.
As for why it triggered without physical contact? Well, the Ability didn't strictly require a touch to manifest in the real world.
For example, when Lopunny went for walks, weak wild Pokémon would often be drawn to her aura.
Pokémon with Cute Charm seem to radiate a specific ntal frequency. If an opponent has weak ntal defenses, they fall under the spell instantly.
How could a Houndour's mind compete with a Ralts who literally lives and breathes ntal energy? A simple psychic pulse of the Ability was enough to leave it completely srized.
And judging by its behavior, it had fallen hard...
