Chapter 503

At this moment, a SweetcoldQueen stepped out, pleading endlessly.

The SweetcoldQueen looked at it with complex eyes—affection, confusion, hatred—finally dissolving into cold indifference, then threw herself into Bai Jing's arms and began to cry!

Bai Jing glanced at the SweetcoldQueen and understood: this was its mother.

"Good girl, they have nothing to do with you anymore; from now on, we are your family!"

"Let's go!"

Bai Jing embraced the SweetcoldQueen and left, Lucario following behind, leaving behind a clan shrouded in gloom.

Because the SweetcoldQueen had wasted too much time, Bai Jing did not attempt to capture any battle Pokémon; by the time he reached the endpoint, the event was already nearing its end.

Deng Xin immediately complained: "Where the hell have you been? Why are you only showing up now!"

"It's fine, I'll just forfeit this round."

"You can't not forfeit—the event's already over, okay?"

"Really? Who won first place? Don't tell me it's you?"

Deng Xin deflated. "No, can't you just look at the stage yourself?"

Bai Jing turned to look—the stage showed a classmate leading a FlowerLady, accepting a prize.

Bai Jing chuckled. "I knew it—the masses' eyes are still sharp; the judges are clearly kindred spirits!"

Deng Xin gagged. "Men are all the same—disgusting! Don't you dare touch me tonight!"

"Contestants, release the Pokémon you've captured; prepare for the next round."

"The next round is Marked Forest, where various Poison-type Pokémon reside. The contestant who captures the most toxic Poison-type Pokémon wins!"

"Since Poison-type Pokémon are particularly dangerous, please be extremely cautious. If you encounter danger, call for help immediately, and make sure you have antidotes on hand."

As she spoke, the host smiled and pointed to a nearby stall. "Antidote candies are available for purchase here—contestants without supplies may buy some."

Great, the organizers could make another small profit.

Bai Jing always carried such items, so he didn't need to buy any; the two walked straight into the forest.

"By the way, release your SeaLion later."

"Why?"

"Because I've already captured a Pokémon!"

"Really? What kind?"

At that moment, the Poké Ball opened automatically, and the SweetcoldQueen ran out!

"Whoa~ It's a Shiny Pokémon—I've never seen one before!"

"I only got lucky to encounter it—it's far more valuable than your SeaLion!"

"Fine, fine, I'll release it later!"

But the SweetcoldQueen's next action made Deng Xin's eyes widen!

It clung tightly to Bai Jing's chest, then gave Deng Xin a defiant glance—as if declaring ownership.

"You… you… you…"

Deng Xin turned green with rage!

"Disgusting! Pervert! I'm never speaking to you again!"

With that, she spun around and stormed off!

Bai Jing opened his mouth—what the hell was this?

"Porygon, go protect her!"

Porygon once again scorned its master and chased after her.
