Chapter 23 Yang Bin's Request
Chapter 23 Yang Bin's Request
After a battle that wasn't particularly intense for Garlic, it realized its current weakness: its vines were too fragile, completely incomparable to those of Little Tower.
However, Garlic had only been with him for a short time, unlike Little Tower, who had been with Xuan Mingtian for several years.
The vines of the small tower are covered with thorns, and their toughness, strength, length and fire resistance are quite outstanding. It seems that the garlic vines need to be specially trained.
At this moment, Yang Bin said with admiration, "Xuan Mingtian, you are really amazing. You can even win easily by using attribute advantages."
"So-so, this is all thanks to Garlic's own hard work." After saying that, Xuan Mingtian couldn't help but look down on Garlic in his heart. As long as you are strong enough, you can do it with your hands. Why do you need type advantages? Look at Groudon and Kyogre, one is a Ground type and the other is a Water type. Kyogre has no advantage over Groudon, but they still fought each other to a great extent.
Yang Bin said, "Brother Tian, can you teach me how to train? I really want to make Little Fire Dragon stronger."
"Dragon Fire Dragon": Teach me, teach me how to cultivate.
At this moment, the little fire dragon, who had already woken up, chimed in from the side.
“I can teach you and your little fire dragon how to train, but I don’t have that much time. Besides, you and your little fire dragon are still young, and your current training methods are fine. You don’t need my help,” he said kindly to Yang Bin.
When I turned to look at Xiaogang, I saw him raise his hands and shrug. The meaning was very clear: it's none of his business, you deal with it yourself. I was speechless when I saw Xiaogang's gesture. What was that all about?
But then a thud startled everyone; it turned out that Yang Bin had knelt down on both knees.
"Brother, please teach me how to cultivate and train. I will follow your lead from now on," Yang Bin pleaded.
“Uh, Xiao Tian, don’t look at me. You can handle this yourself. After all, it’s not uncommon for some family heirs to have one or two followers.” Xiao Gang said, sensing Xuan Mingtian’s gaze.
Indeed, it's not surprising that large families or powerful trainers in this world have one or two followers or apprentices. Just like how regional league leaders and top-level officials also have followers and small families and businesses that rely on them for survival.
Take Silvercorp in Goldenrod City, for example. Although many people said in the past that it was controlled by Team Rocket and once tried to break free from their control, it is undeniable that Silvercorp could have relied on Team Rocket. Otherwise, it would have been divided up by various families when it first rose to prominence and became famous, and would have been devoured without leaving a trace.
Some people might say that Silph Company also has powerful Pokémon. I can only laugh and despise them. If Silph Company were powerful, would they have fallen to the point of being controlled by Team Rocket? In the later stages of the anime, if Giovanni hadn't disbanded Team Rocket, Silph Company would have been completely overwhelmed.
Just like the Miracle Tree in your own backyard, if it weren't for your own strength and not being too afraid of the League, I think I would be in the trash can right now instead of having a mine at home. So many people only see how Ash and his friends are having fun and traveling in the anime. But as the saying goes, when you're out in the world, you need power and background.
"Get up quickly, I have something to tell you." After saying that, she gave Garlic a look that he understood instantly.
Garlic Head stretched out two vine whips and helped Yang Bin and Little Fire Dragon up.
Yang Bin said excitedly, "Brother Tian, you're agreeing? Then I'm yours from now on."
"Let the elves train first, let's chat for a bit over there." After saying that, he led Xiaogang and Yang Bin to a seat on the side.
Xuan Mingtian was also undecided.
At this moment, Xiao Gang, who was standing next to him, said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "Xiao Tian, do you want to discuss this with your aunt and uncle? After all, this decision can be a big or small matter for a family. As your friend, I should give you some advice. You must think this through carefully."
Upon hearing this, she looked at Xiaogang with disdain and said, "Xiaogang, tell me honestly, did my mother call you and tell you to keep an eye on me?"
"No, I didn't. Don't talk nonsense. Auntie just called to ask how your studies are going. She didn't ask me to watch over you at all," Xiaogang denied.
Actually, when Xuan Mingtian visited Xiao Gang's house, Xuan's mother had already called Xiao Gang. She also hoped that Xiao Gang could keep a close eye on Xuan Mingtian and supervise my studies. She told him that if Xuan Mingtian did anything wrong, he could call her directly.
Meanwhile, he couldn't help but groan inwardly, "Damn it, I've escaped one tiger's den only to fall into another! Humph, once I graduate and go home, I'm definitely going to send my family on a trip. I absolutely can't let them disturb my farming."
Actually, Xuan Mingtian didn't need to send them on the trip, because Xuan's mother and the others had already decided that after they graduated, they would hand over the family business to me and the whole family would go on the trip. Besides, the younger brother had also reached the age to go to school.
"Xiaogang, we're good friends. You need to know that there are some things you can say, but there are some things you can't say carelessly, or the consequences will be severe."
After Xuan Mingtian finished speaking, he pulled Xiao Gang in front of him, raised his hands and placed them on Xiao Gang's squinty eyes, then opened them wide. At this moment, Xiao Gang looked like Xiao Gang with his eyes wide open, which would frighten Guan Yu.
"Ah, Xiaotian, I was wrong, please don't pry my eyes open!"
After Xiao Gang finished speaking, he immediately placed his hand under Xuan Mingtian's armpit and began to torture him artificially: tickling him.
Yang Bin watched the two play around from the sidelines, quietly observing without saying a word. After all, he was going to be Xuan Mingtian's underling and follower. If he couldn't even be patient with their playful antics, then he might as well give up.
In fact, Xuan Mingtian and Xiao Gang had been keeping an eye on Yang Bin while they were playing around, because there would definitely be tests. If Yang Bin was impatient while they were playing around, then he would definitely stab them in the back.
"Let's go to my little villa."
Xuan Mingtian was skipping class right in front of the teacher in the distance, completely disregarding the teacher's authority.
Although Xiao Gang was a little confused, he still went back to the small villa with them. After all, a student who skips class is not necessarily a bad student, and Xiao Gang is the good student who has not been led astray yet.
When the homeroom teacher noticed him walking towards the edge of the training field, he rushed over and said, "Xiao Tian, class is in session right now! What are you doing? Don't tell me you're trying to skip class!"
Xuan Mingtian said confidently, "Aha, teacher, you guessed it all. You're amazing."
Xuan Mingtian's words made Xiao Gang's eyelids twitch. Couldn't he have come up with a better reason? Did he have to just say he was going to skip class?
The homeroom teacher covered his head and said, "Xiao Tian, your Bulbasaur is powerful, but you can't skip class. Students who skip class aren't good kids, right?"
Xuan Mingtian said seriously, "Teacher, I didn't want to either. Although it's a Pokémon training class, you know that it's not the students training together, but the students being trained by me (fighting). You can ask Yang Bin and you'll know."
“Yes, teacher, what my brother Tian said is right. When I was battling him with Pokémon just now, he easily defeated me. So I want to acknowledge him as my leader and follow him,” Yang Bin said with a serious expression.
"Go away, go away, get out of my sight right now."
Although the homeroom teacher was annoyed that three students had skipped class at once, there was nothing he could do. Brock was the son of the Gym Leader of Pewter City, and he specialized in Rock-type Pokémon. He also had a special method for training Rock-type Pokémon and was a good friend of Brock's son, so there was no need to worry about him.
One of them is Yang Bin, who was specifically requested by this young master. It seems that Yang Bin wants to become his follower, and he is testing his courage and obedience. If he disturbs the other party in recruiting followers, he will be beaten up. Even if the young master's parents don't beat him, the principal will. There is no other way but to turn a blind eye.
One of them is this little tyrant. Not only is he the source of my year-end bonus for the next few years, but he also has a very powerful influence that I can't afford to offend. If I make him unhappy, I'll have no choice but to let Xuan Mingtian beat me up.
It has to be said that the precocity of people in this world is something that would make parents in the past in China envious, since everyone hopes that their children will become independent as early as possible.
At this moment, the homeroom teacher couldn't help but sigh: "Being a teacher is tiring, being a homeroom teacher is even more tiring, and having a little devil in the class is even more tiring. I can't show my anger on the surface. Forget it, I'll just report it to the principal and let him make the decision."
Xuan Mingtian, ignoring Dong's whereabouts, led the two of them to form a unique scene on campus, known as the "truant trio."
After noticing that many classmates were looking at them, Xiao Gang said, "Xiao Tian, don't you think it's a bit strange that the three of us are like this? Everyone is watching us."
"What are you afraid of? They're just envious of us. As long as our studies and Pokémon training are excellent, they won't say anything. Besides, it's normal for me to have a few special privileges, right, Xiao Bin?" Xuan Mingtian said as he walked with his hands in his pockets.
"Uh, you're the boss. What you said is probably right." Yang Bin was speechless at Xuan Mingtian's self-righteous words, but he was going to be Xuan Mingtian's subordinate. As long as he wasn't embarrassed, it was others who would be embarrassed.
Xiao Gang was speechless after hearing Xuan Mingtian's words. Although other classmates might not say it, he might be unhappy. Wasn't he afraid of being attacked from behind when walking through alleys?
The three of them walked towards the small courtyard while talking, completely unaware that the principal was watching them.
