Chapter 386: Tonight, Shall We Try? Try It and You'll Drop Dead!

The next morning he woke up and felt the spot beside him.

Empty—Cao Fanghua had already left for school.

The day before, the whole faculty and student body had partied into the night, after which Bai Jing went home to check in, then asked Deng Xin out.

The two of them dated—shopping, a movie, all lovey-dovey—the atmosphere wonderfully harmonious, the flirtation steadily heating up.

Bai Jing had wanted to strike while the iron was hot and seal the deal, but Cao Fanghua had suddenly shown up and scared off the thin-skinned Deng Xin.

Then she seized the nest, dragging Bai Jing back to the rented room.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder—it's like a second honeymoon!

Which is why Bai Jing now looked like he'd been thoroughly ravished.

"That woman is wild!"

He got up slowly, washed up, then went out for breakfast, and only after that headed to school.

He was already very late, but it didn't matter—although the exchange tournament was over, he had no intention of attending class, so he went straight to training room "887."

He released all his Pokémon!

Leave-of-Absence King, Lucario, Dragonite, Aegislash, Charmeleon, Noibat, Larvitar, Gible.

"New members, everyone get to know each other!"

"Larr!"

Larvitar was tactful enough to offer greetings on its own.

Gible, however, was pretty dumb—looking to cause trouble, it got pinned flat by a single claw from Charmeleon.

Unconvinced, it got back up, only to be pinned flat again.

After this happened two or three more times, it shut down, hiding in a corner to secretly wipe its tears.

"Lucario, same old rules—the early-stage training for those two is yours!"

"Rio!"

The big brother, trustworthy as always.

"Charmeleon, Noibat, you two are progressing way too slowly—I'm still waiting for you to evolve and carry me to look cool and fly!"
