Chapter 425: He Said, What Is This Little Pain in the Wind and Rain?

"I never expected to lose in my own area of expertise!"

Walking toward the port, Li Shaobao was deeply depressed.

"It's about participation, and you don't lack those resources anyway. Isn't it better to leave them for other students?"

Bai Jing never intended to win first place because he didn't care about those meager rewards, but for some students from ordinary families, it was a huge sum; since that was the case, why not let them have it?

"That's true, Brother Bai, you really thought of everything!"

"I think it's great; at least the barbecue was delicious!"

"Little glutton, aren't you afraid of getting fat?"

"Hmph, sorry to say, but this Miss is exactly that legendary type with a constitution that doesn't gain weight from eating!"

They had basically toured the entire small island and participated in the activities, so all three planned to head to the next island.

Arriving at the port, they found many students there; obviously, they had the same idea.

"What? No boats left? They've all been rented out!"

"The big cruise ship doesn't depart until tomorrow!"

They had arrived too late to rent even a single boat.

The person in charge said, "That's the situation. You can wait until tomorrow, or if you're really in a hurry, aren't you Trainers? Riding a Water-type Pokémon out to sea works too; isn't that an adventure?"

Indeed, many students had already set sail, either riding Flying-type Pokémon or standing atop Water-type Pokémon!

Trainers are fearless; what are a few waves to them?

"Looks like we have no choice but to do this!"

Deng Xin suggested, "Let's use Water-type Pokémon; enjoying the sea breeze and the scenery is nice too!"

"I have no objection; Lapras is just perfect for this. As a Water-type mount, it is absolutely the most suitable."

"Great, great! I want to ride Lapras too!"

"Um..."

Li Shaobao weakly said, "I won't disturb your two-person world; I'll just ride Talonflame. See you on the next island."

"Why do you look so pale? You aren't... afraid of water, are you?"

Li Shaobao nodded. "I almost drowned when I was a child, leaving a psychological shadow ever since. Now, as soon as I see the sea or rivers, I get scared, which is why I specialized in Fire-type."

"So that's how it is!"

Bai Jing and Deng Xin exchanged a glance, and mischievous grins appeared on their faces.

"Why are you making that expression?"

"What do you two want to do?"

"Don't come over!"

A moment later, Bai Jing and Deng Xin sat on Lapras's back and set sail with the wind!

"Help~~ Murder!"

"Someone save me!"

Poor Li Shaobao was tied to the back, half his body soaked in water, with Inkay following behind him, occasionally spraying water to soak him completely.

"How can a true man fear mere seawater?"

"Exactly, what a coward!"

"Let me go, you're being too much!"

"I'm so scared! Waaah~~"

"Come on, don't be afraid; we're helping you overcome your fear!"

"Li Shao, hold on! As a good brother, I'll sing a song to encourage you!"

"What is this little pain in the wind and rain? Dry your tears and don't be afraid..."

"Ahhh~~~ I don't want to! Help me~~~~"

Poor Li Shaobao; let's feel sorry for him for three seconds!

After sailing on the sea for several hours, at dusk, the three arrived at the second island, Friendship Island.

"Li Shao, are you okay?"

Finally freed and pulled out of the water, Li Shaobao was completely dazed and confused.

"I'm fine, of course I'm fine! How could anything be wrong with me? It's just mere seawater! I'll jump back in right now and show you how to swim!"

Having said that, he really plunged headfirst back into the sea, and then...

Gulp~ Gulp~~

"Lapras, pull him out quickly!"

The rescued Li Shaobao still looked dazed, muttering, "It's fine, it's fine. How could anything be wrong with me? I just haven't learned to swim yet; it'll be fine next time!"

"It's over; did they break him?"

With a slap, Bai Jing gave him a backhand!

"Li Shao, pull yourself together!"

That slap completely made Li Shaobao break down!

"You hit me? On what grounds do you hit me?"

"Waaah~~ You're too much! You call yourself a good brother? Do you treat brothers like this?"

Seeing him sit on the ground throwing a tantrum like a child, Bai Jing felt very awkward.

"I'm doing this for your own good. Didn't this resolve your fear of water? The process was a bit rough, but it was simple and effective, wasn't it?"

"Yes, yes, you're amazing, you're noble, using me like a monkey! I'm not afraid of water anymore, but I'm afraid of you!"

"I'm breaking off our friendship!"

Seeing Li Shaobao storm off in a rage, Deng Xin felt quite embarrassed.

"Do you think we went too far?"

"A little, yeah!"

"Then what do we do? He looks really angry!"

"Let's wait until he cools off, then apologize to him!"

"Li Shao, wait for us!"
