Integrate into the fairy world

Seeing Lei Ze constantly looking at his turtle on the balcony, Gu Fan came down from the cashier counter and pulled Lei Ze aside.

"Aze, what are you looking at? Don't disturb the grass turtle's rest!"

After saying that, he made a gesture to Lei Ze to keep quiet.

Only when the two of them returned to the cashier counter did Gu Fan dare to speak louder.

Seeing his friend being so cautious reminded Lei Ze of his experience of taking care of a newborn Pichu yesterday, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?" Seeing Lei Ze laughing for no apparent reason, Gu Fan asked in confusion.

"Nothing, nothing, I just suddenly remembered that I took care of the newborn Pichu at home yesterday."

"I was exactly like you at the time. I was very careful in everything I did, for fear of bumping into anything. Thinking about it now, it's really funny."

After hearing his friend's words, Gu Fan grasped the key point in an instant.

"Your egg has hatched already. It's only been half a month. I remember that there are still many students in my class whose elf eggs haven't hatched yet!"

"If Kong Zhiyuan's sons knew about this, they would be so jealous!"

It sounded very convincing to his best friend, but Lei Ze just didn't believe it. It's been half a month and almost everyone's Pokémon have hatched. Even if a few unlucky ones are a little slow, it will probably only take two days.

Seeing that Lei Ze didn't believe him, Gu Fan decided not to make fun of Kong Zhiyuan and the other unlucky guys. In order to change the subject, he took a promotional poster from the counter and showed it to Lei Ze.

"Aze, since your elf has hatched, would you like to consider participating in our Su Province's Mini Dragon Cup this year?"

As he spoke, stars appeared in Gu Fan's eyes, and he seemed to be very interested in this competition.

"But my Pichu has just hatched and hasn't left the larval stage yet. I'm afraid it can't fight very well yet."

Lei Ze himself does not want to let Pichu fight too early, because in his opinion, Pichu has just been born, and now is the time to lay the foundation. At this stage, Pichu's main goal is to grow and master the existing skills. The battle can be put aside for the time being.

However, Gu Fan was unhappy after hearing this, and immediately refuted Lei Ze's point of view.

"What's the big deal? The elves' larval period is only a week. Besides, the Mini Dragon Cup is scheduled for August 8th. Today is July 25rd, which is more than a month. If we use this time well, we can definitely train the elves to be very outstanding."

Lei Ze wanted to say something, but was suddenly grabbed by Gu Fan's shoulders.

"What are you still hesitating about? Look at your Pichu's high-spirited expression. Do you have the nerve to reject him?"

Hearing this, Lei Ze noticed that Pichu had already come out of the Poké Ball and was looking at him expectantly. To be honest, the little guy was indeed moved by Gu Fan's words. He was already very active and was also looking forward to fighting with other Pokémons. Now that there was such a good opportunity in front of him, he naturally didn't want to let it go. So he quickly got out of the Poké Ball and acted like a spoiled child to Lei Ze.

"Pichu, this isn't the way to use your coquettish skills. You got the wrong person!"

Pichu seemed not to hear what Lei Ze said, and still stared at Lei Ze with a longing expression.

"mound……"

Looking at the cute appearance of Pichu, Lei Ze sighed helplessly and had to agree.

"Okay, I agree, isn't that enough? Stop looking at me like that!"

Gu Fan: "Okay!"

Pichu: "Chu——"

"Wow~" At this time, the grass turtle was awakened by the scream and looked around in confusion.

"Since you have decided to participate, you have to introduce this so-called competition to me!" Looking at the tiring competition, Lei Ze waved his hand and asked Gu Fan to introduce him to what this competition was all about.

Seeing this, Gu Fan cleared his throat and explained, "This so-called Dratini Cup is specifically for high school sophomores like us who have just become rookie trainers. The purpose is to mobilize the overall enthusiasm of rookie trainers. Students can accumulate their own fame before school starts. The organizer will also provide huge bonuses and Pokémon items as prizes, so that we can get the training resources we want one step ahead."

"You know, the top 16 will receive a bonus of 5 yuan, and the champion will receive a bonus of 20 yuan and a comfort bell."

Lei Ze was fine at first as he listened to Gu Fan's story, but he became completely uneasy when he heard that the champion prize included a soothing bell.

That's a Soothing Bell. The Soothing Bell that can increase the favorability of elves has always been a rare item. I didn't expect that the organizer this time would actually go to the trouble to get a Soothing Bell as the champion prize of the competition. It seems that I have to take it seriously.

Seeing that Lei Ze was interested, Gu Fan's eyes showed a hint of a plan. As long as he could trick Lei Ze into participating in the Mini Dragon Cup with him, he would have a reason to train Pokémon and refuse to watch the store.

Thinking of this, Gu Fan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, in which city will this year's Su Province Mini Dragon Cup be held?"

The two chatted for such a long time that Lei Ze suddenly realized that he seemed to have never asked where the venue was.

"It's not far away. It's right next to us in Jiangcheng. It's a coastal city. Not only can we see many water-type Pokémon that are not common here, but we can also go there a few days in advance to have a good time on the beach."

"Where are you planning to go for fun?" Just then, a cold voice came from behind the two of them.

It turned out that Gu Fan's parents were back!

"Dad! Mom! Didn't you say you would be back in the afternoon?" Gu Fan shuddered all over and asked tremblingly.

"We just want to give you a surprise, why are you not happy that we came back early?" Facing the soul-searching questioning from his parents, what could Gu Fan say? Of course he decisively followed his heart!

"How could that be? I'm so happy that you two can come back earlier." Then he took the initiative to help his parents unload the goods.

At this time, Gu Fan's mother saw Lei Ze and came forward to greet him, "Xiao Ze, you are here. Is your mother's business going well these days?"

"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. My mother has had a lot of customers these days and has no time to go out. I will talk to my mother and ask her to come over to your place when she is free."

Looking at Lei Ze and the Pichu on his shoulder, Gu Fan's mother seemed to remember something and asked, "I just heard you and Xiao Fan talking about something. Competitions, the beach or something, is it the Mini Dragon Cup in more than a month?"

"Hey, Auntie, did you know about this too?" This time it was Lei Ze's turn to be surprised. He originally thought that Gu Fan's family would not care about this matter, and might even disagree with Gu Fan's participation in this competition. Just when he was about to say a few good words for Gu Fan, he didn't expect the other party's parents to bring up this matter first.

"How could I not know him? This kid is my flesh and blood, so I know his crooked ways."

"Xiao Ze, when you get there, you must keep an eye on this little rascal. He is a restless person."

Just in case, Lei Ze still asked, "Auntie, do you agree that Gu Fan can participate in this competition?"

"I didn't say I disagree! Who do you two kids think I am?"
