Chapter 180: Which One Do I Choose?

Chapter 180: Which One Do I Choose?

Everyone looked towards the sound. They saw a tall middle-aged man with slightly graying Hair squeeze through the crowd.

"Who is it? Who caught the Dragonair?"

"That would be me? What's wrong?" Bai Feng stepped forward and said upon hearing the question.

The middle-aged man looked at Bai Feng, his Eyes filled with resentment. "Why did you catch the Dragonair? It was living perfectly fine here, why did you have to break this Peaceful state?"

Bai Feng thought to himself: This person must be Caesar, right? He doesn't seem to have any major mental illness, does he?

"Why can't I catch the Dragonair? Is it your Pokémon?" Bai Feng retorted.

Caesar was stumped by Bai Feng's question. Of course, Dragonair wasn't his Pokémon. Dragonair belonged to the Safari Zone, to the League, and possibly to the Trainers who came here to catch Pokémon, but it definitely didn't belong to him.

He had only met Dragonair once over a decade ago when it was still a Dratini. Since then, he had consciously kept the Dratini's Secret hidden deep in his heart, to the point of developing an obsession.

He wouldn't allow Others to touch this Secret, as if the Dratini would belong to him as long as no one knew about it.

Seeing Caesar remain silent, Bai Feng continued, "I caught the Pokémon in the Safari Zone according to the regulations, without violating any rules. Dragonair also came with me voluntarily, so you have no Qualification to question me, much less stop me from catching Dragonair!"

Hearing Bai Feng say that Dragonair left voluntarily, Caesar exclaimed, "Impossible! Impossible! It clearly promised me..." It promised not to leave and not to see any Humans!

"Let Dragonair out to see me! I want to ask it face-to-face. It couldn't possibly leave with you voluntarily!" Caesar said with an anxious Expression.

Bai Feng said expressionlessly, "Sorry, I refuse!"

Since Dragonair still remembered Caesar, it meant it still had some Affection for him. If Bai Feng let Dragonair out to face Caesar's questioning, Dragonair would Inevitably have to make a Decision between Caesar and Bai Feng. Wouldn't this be a form of coercion for Dragonair? Wouldn't it be a kind of Pain and suffering?

Therefore, Bai Feng would absolutely not let Dragonair out to fall into such a dilemma.

Hearing Bai Feng's words, Caesar completely lost control. His Expression twisted, and he suddenly threw open his coat, pulling out two Handguns from inside and pointing them at Bai Feng.

"Quick, let Dragonair out! I want to see Dragonair, or don't blame the Thunder Brothers in my hands for being blind!" Caesar roared. The Thunder Brothers he referred to were the two Handguns.

Seeing the Handguns, someone in the crowd immediately let out a Screaming sound, because Firearms were Contraband Weapons in the League and not allowed for private carrying.

No one expected that a Safari Zone staff member would actually be holding two Handguns.

Seeing the Handguns in Caesar's hands, the Teacher behind Bai Feng also changed his Expression. He immediately pulled Bai Feng behind him and then tried to persuade Caesar to put down the Handguns.

"Sir, let's talk this through. Don't you want to see Dragonair? We can agree to that!" At this point, the Teacher couldn't completely follow Bai Feng's Opinion and could only try to appease Caesar for now.

However, Bai Feng slipped back to the front from behind the Teacher. His Eyes were flashing with intense purple Light, and he walked towards Caesar step by step.

"I won't let you see Dragonair. If you truly cared about Dragonair, you wouldn't try to restrain it in the name of protection!" Bai Feng said as he walked. "And you certainly wouldn't force it in this Situation!"

"Bai Feng, what are you doing!" The Teacher let out a terrified Screaming sound, fearing that Bai Feng would fall into a pool of Blood the next second.

But then everyone Discovered that Caesar's Expression suddenly became twisted, and his Body couldn't move at all. He seemed to want to pull the trigger, but unfortunately, despite his Effort, he didn't succeed for a long Time.

At this moment, Da Fu stepped forward and quietly explained to the Teacher, "Teacher, don't worry, Bai Feng will be fine. He's an Esper, that old man definitely can't move now!"

Da Fu had a proud Expression, as if he were the one who possessed Psychic Power.

Hearing Da Fu's words, the Teacher breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, if a Student really got hurt right under his nose, his career would probably be over!

Sure enough, the next second, the two Handguns in Caesar's hands flew out of his grasp under Bai Feng's control and landed in Bai Feng's own hands.

With a bang, Caesar was forced to kneel on the Ground by Bai Feng's Psychic Power.

Only then did the Students suddenly realize. No wonder Bai Feng could catch so many Pokémon in the Safari Zone. With such strong Psychic Power, how was it any different from bringing a Pokémon inside?

Now, no one could say that Bai Feng and the Others were cheating!

Seeing Caesar subdued, several Teachers quickly rushed forward together and held him down. Only then did Bai Feng release the Psychic Power restraining him.

"Quick, go notify the Safari Zone's Camp Leader and have him handle this Matter!" a Teacher roared.

One of the Teachers heard this and immediately turned his Head and ran towards the Camp Area.

Because the Safari Zone is home to a large number of rare Pokémon, the League has a special Camp Area guard post there. The highest-ranking officer in the Camp Area is the Camp Leader.

"Let go of me! Let go of me! I want to see Dragonair, I want to see Dragonair!"

Caesar's Head was pressed tightly against the Ground, but he still roared frantically, struggling with all his might. If it weren't for several young male Teachers present, it would have been truly difficult to hold him down.

Before long, everyone saw a burly middle-aged man arrive with a few people. Professor Oak was also accompanying them.

Professor Oak had just been chatting with the Camp Leader.

"Caesar!!!"

The Camp Leader roared, and a Red Light flashed on his Body. A Machoke covered in muscles appeared and lifted Caesar, who was being held down by the Teachers.

Hearing the Camp Leader's voice, Caesar trembled all over and finally recovered from his frenzied state. His imposing aura dissipated, and he looked at the Camp Leader with a dazed look in his Eyes, weakly calling out, "Camp Leader..."

"Sigh~ What can I say about you? How could you hide this Stuff privately and even point it at people!" the Camp Leader said, expressing his disappointment.

Caesar just lowered his Head and remained silent.

Then, from the Camp Leader's mouth, Bai Feng and the Others learned about Caesar's experience.

It turned out that Caesar was a retired soldier. All of his Pokémon sacrificed themselves during a past Task. His own life was only saved because his Pokémon fought with all their might.

Later, Caesar developed a severe psychological illness, and his Personality also became somewhat paranoid. To take care of him, the League arranged for him to work in the Safari Zone.

Work in the Safari Zone was generally quite relaxed, especially for Caesar's Position. He just needed to be responsible for receiving visitors when they came and collecting the Entrance Fee.

But the Camp Leader never expected that Caesar would secretly hide two guns. He suspected that these guns were secretly hidden by Caesar during his previous Tasks, as it would have been very easy for him to hide two guns given his former profession.

"Professor Oak, please rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation for this Matter, and the League's laws will absolutely not be lenient!"

Professor Oak said with a chuckle, "Of course, I believe the Camp Leader will handle this fairly!"

"Then please continue being Busy, I'll take Caesar away." The Camp Leader said with a bitter smile. If possible, he really wanted to give Caesar a lighter punishment, after all, he was a veteran who had performed meritorious deeds on the Battlefield.

Unfortunately, merits and demerits couldn't cancel each other out. Caesar's guilt was hard to escape. Not only was he charged with privately possessing Firearms, but also with attempted murder.

When he pointed the gun at Bai Feng just now, he had already pulled the trigger. If Bai Feng hadn't possessed Psychic Power, Bai Feng would probably have been shot in the Head by now.

Caesar's Emotion was already extremely unstable.

Just like that, Caesar was escorted away by the Camp Leader with the Machoke.

After all the Safari Zone staff had left, Professor Oak said with a chuckle, "Alright, it's fine now. Let's continue tallying the Scores!"

The Teacher heard this and took Bai Feng back to the Score tallying area. Just as he was about to announce Bai Feng's Score with the Red Cloth, he suddenly heard bursts of exclamations from below.

"Where did that Tinkatink come from? Ahhh!"

"Quick, get out of the way, get out of the way, don't let it hit you!"

"Ah~ Be careful, be careful, it's heading that way!"

...

Before long, Bai Feng saw the Tinkatink darting around in the crowd. It was swinging the Hammer in its hand forcefully. Anyone who dared to approach it would be greeted by the hammer.

"Tink~ Tink~"

Finally, the Tinkatink saw Bai Feng standing on the platform. It cheered, and dragging its hammer, it leaped onto the high platform with a "whoosh," moving very agilely.

"Tink~ Tink~"

As soon as the Tinkatink came up, it hugged Bai Feng's leg. However, it was too short, so it could only hug Bai Feng's calf.

The Teacher asked doubtfully, "Bai Feng, is this Tinkatink your Pokémon?"

Bai Feng quickly shook his Head. "No, no, it's a Pokémon from the Safari Zone. That Poké Ball of mine was destroyed by it!"

Hearing Bai Feng say that it wasn't his Pokémon, the Tinkatink not only didn't refute it but nodded repeatedly: I'm indeed not Bai Feng's Pokémon, I'm his Bride!

Professor Oak, who was nearby, said upon hearing this, "I see it came specifically looking for you. It probably wants to go with you, right?"

"Tink~ Tink~"

The Tinkatink nodded repeatedly again upon hearing this.

Professor Oak said with a chuckle, "Then let's count it among the Pokémon you caught. Since the Pokémon is willing to follow you, what does it matter if you have a Poké Ball or not!"

"But..."

Bai Feng still wanted to say something, but then he heard Professor Oak say, "Alright, it's decided!"

But the Pokémon I wanted to take away for getting first place was Dragonair! I already promised it!

For a moment, Bai Feng felt he was in a dilemma.

Bai Feng bent down and asked the Tinkatink, "Didn't you leave? Why did you come back?"

The Tinkatink twisted its little Head, as if to say, 'I'm not telling you!'

After seeing Bai Feng give Dragonair a full Body Massage, the Tinkatink had originally planned to give up on Bai Feng. But then it thought, what if Bai Feng touched Dragonair more? We're in a fair competition!

So, it came back!

The Teachers listened to Professor Oak's words and added the Tinkatink to Bai Feng's list as well.

"Student Bai Feng's final Score is 60!"

Hearing the Teacher's words, the Classmates erupted. 60 Points! How were they going to close the gap with this monster now!

Hearing the Classmates' discussions, Professor Oak said with a chuckle, "Classmates, don't worry. We will hold two Activities like this where you can gain a significant amount of Points. One is in the middle of the Summer Camp, and one is at the end of the Summer Camp. So everyone, keep up the Effort, there are still Opportunities to catch up!"

Hearing Professor Oak's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

More than half of the Students behind Bai Feng hadn't finished tallying their Scores yet, so he had to return to the line and continue waiting.

As he passed by the lines of Students from other Schools, they all cast gazes of awe towards Bai Feng.

Around five in the Afternoon, all the Students' Scores were finally tallied.

As expected, Bai Feng got first place.

The second place went to the Girl named Chihiro, whom Bai Feng met during the Match. She obtained 40 Points.

The third place surprisingly went to Chunyi. He probably cleared out a Ghost-type Pokémon nest in the Safari Zone. He didn't catch any other Pokémon, but he caught a full 17 Ghost-type Pokémon.

Ghost-type Pokémon are all rare Pokémon, so he obtained 34 Points.

The fourth place was Student Shen Mu, with 26 Points.

The fifth place was Li La, with 21 Points.

The sixth place was Wa Lian, with 18 Points.

The seventh place was Da Fu, with 16 Points.

The eighth place was Nanami, with 15 Points.

Basically, these were the only ones with good Grades. Everyone else's Grades were dismal, with most Classmates scoring below 10 Points.

It's worth mentioning that the unconventional Girl who first teamed up with Senior Gu Chuan had a very good Score this Time, 10 Points, ranking right behind Nanami.

All the Pokémon she caught were Poison-type. Bai Feng only learned in later Activities that the Girl's Name was Homika, and she was the future Gym Leader of Virbank City in the Unova Region, specializing in Poison-type Pokémon.

After learning her Grades, the chuunibyou Girl immediately strutted over to the Young Men, including Senior Gu Chuan, who had teamed up with her and offended her, to show off.

The Young Men's Expressions looked like they were constipated.

"Now, I invite the top three from this Match to come up to the stage and choose one Pokémon to take away!" Professor Oak shouted to the audience below the stage.

Bai Feng, Chihiro, and Chunyi walked onto the stage in an orderly manner upon hearing this.

Chihiro chose Bulbasaur without hesitation, while Chunyi chose a Drifloon.

When it was Bai Feng's turn, he chose Dragonair without hesitation. This was something he and Dragonair had agreed upon beforehand!

However, when Bai Feng received Dragonair's Poké Ball from the Teacher, a thunderous crying sound suddenly erupted from below the stage.

"Waaah waaah waaah~~~"

Everyone looked towards the crying sound and saw that it was the Tinkatink sitting on the Ground, weeping loudly. It was so sad that it had even thrown its hammer aside.

At this moment, everyone looked at Bai Feng with playful Expressions, thinking, 'Now what are you going to do!' One is a Tinkatink that actively ran over and wants to follow you, and the other is an extremely rare Pseudo-Legendary second-stage form, Dragonair.

The question is, which one will you choose?

Bai Feng looked at Professor Oak with a helpless Expression: See, you insisted on saying the Tinkatink could stay, now how do we solve this Problem?

Professor Oak had an awkward Expression. He didn't know before that Bai Feng had also caught a Dragonair, did he?
