Chapter 172 But I refuse!
A bizarre story not only caused Xia Mu and Inspector Joey to clash once again, but also drew Zi's attention to the man in the white suit who was approaching Xia Mu.
"Principal Xi Lan?!"
"Hello everyone, I'm Xi Lan!"
The person in the white suit was Xi Lan, who should be working at Blueberry Academy at this time.
"Isn't today Wednesday? Have you dumped your work on someone else again and started slacking off?! That's not right!"
Zi frowned, and even though the person opposite her was the principal, she showed no mercy by making an X with her hands.
Xi Lan immediately burst into laughter at this.
"Haha, it's just that I suddenly remembered you might have arrived in Bozhou, Qinghai—"
Because she often asked Zi and others for help with work in the past, Xi Lan couldn't speak with her head held high in front of them.
It could even be said that if Zi and others hadn't met Natsuki in Raven City, they would have returned to Blueberry Academy after visiting Old Deng in Fanba City, and then become Xilan's tool for slacking off while studying hard.
Unfortunately, Zigan was attracted to Xia Mu and traveled with him, which meant that Xi Lan had to find other people to help share her work.
Both Bai Leya and Nari were victims of this behavior.
However, unlike Zi Deng who has no other job, Bai Leiya has a job as a teacher and has always wanted to conduct in-depth research in the Zero District of Padia, so she can only take on a few tasks.
The other option, Nari, also has student council work to handle.
So, thinking of the documents that still needed to be processed on her desk, Xi Lan looked at Zi Deng with pleading in her eyes.
"I need your help, Zi!"
At this moment, Xi Lan looked just like a strange old man.
This scene instantly caught Xia Mu's attention.
Oh no, someone's trying to steal my rich wife!
Sensing that his ecological niche was threatened, Xia Mu immediately stood in front of Xi Lan.
"Old man, what do you intend to do to my Zi? Let me make this clear first: her money is already mine! And her energy can only help me alone!!"
"ah?!"
Xi Lan's eyes widened.
In response, Zi blushed and punched Xia Mu.
"What nonsense are you spouting now?!"
"Waaaah~"
Xia Mu clutched his waist and collapsed on the beach. Seeing this, Xiao Yao, unfazed, stepped forward, grabbed Xia Mu's right foot, and dragged him away.
"Sorry, please continue—."
As strange marks appeared on the beach, Xi Lan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha, you must be Haruka and Natsuki, right? You're such interesting kids! No wonder Yukari suddenly chose to skip school for class later—"
Xi Lan pushed up the top hat on her head, and the blue sash with the pattern of a single sword sheath fluttered in the wind.
"Hello, I am the founder and principal of Blueberry Academy. One of the reasons I'm here is to check on you and Xia Mu's situation. Also, there's something else I hope you can help me with."
"help?"
Xiaoyao paused in her steps.
She wasn't quite sure how she could help Xi Lan.
At this moment, Xi Lan nodded.
"Yes, I hope you, or rather Xia Mu, can..." Xi Lan focused her gaze on Xia Mu, who was twitching slightly. Upon hearing her name, Xia Mu raised her head from the sand and looked at Xi Lan with a smug expression.
"You're going to do it?"
"I."
Before Xi Lan could speak, Xia Mu immediately raised his hand.
"Let's get this straight: I only care about money, not people. Give me money, and I'll do things for you! Also, since you've asked me to do something, you have to pay me regardless of whether you do it or not!"
Although his posture was wolfish, Xia Mu's aura was in no way inferior.
Looking at Xia Mu lying on the beach, with one of his feet being held by Xiao Yao, Xi Lan suddenly hesitated.
Is this product really reliable?!
Despite her forgetfulness and tendency to delegate tasks, Celan, the principal of Blueberry Academy, is no fool. She is the founder of the most famous school in the Union.
Therefore, he also noticed the unhealthy trend in Blueberry Academy where people only cared about comparing Pokémon battle strength.
In order to prevent the students taught at his school from becoming useless trainers who disregard the feelings of Pokémon.
He was determined to make a change.
But Xi Lan, as an educator, also knows...
This kind of thing absolutely cannot be forcibly stopped by the school's orders. Forcing it will only provoke the students' resistance. Moreover, Blueberry Academy was founded to cultivate powerful trainers.
Therefore, the best way to get students who have become obsessed with rankings to turn back from their ways and learn to cherish Pokémon and build a deep bond with them is to start with the students themselves and set new role models for them.
Xi Lan originally chose Du Ruo, Xia Ka's grandson. Although he was a repeat offender, Du Ruo's strength was among the best in the school and he could easily subdue everyone in the Alliance Club.
Xi Lan even set up a rule that the champion of the alliance could make rules that all members had to abide by, in order to allow Du Ruo to change these bad habits.
But who knew this guy was so lazy, completely lacking in leadership.
After that, he set his sights on the most beautiful girl in the grade, Dan Yu, a second-year student. However, Dan Yu's strength was not enough to subdue the entire alliance club.
Ultimately, he set his sights on Zi Deng.
Serious, loves Pokémon, speaks his mind directly when he disagrees with something, is dissatisfied with the current state of the Pokémon League, and has great potential that is immediately apparent. Although he is just a newcomer, in Xi Lan's eyes, Zi Deng is already the best candidate to change the atmosphere of the Pokémon League.
But Zi and the others were kidnapped by Huang Mao!
Thinking of the fierce tone in Ju Laoda's voice when he called her, and looking at Zi Deng who had just taken action without hesitation, Xi Lan sighed deeply in her heart.
He's terrified that Zi and others might take action against him if they see something they don't like back at Blueberry Academy.
Fortunately, Xi Lan still has another goal.
That's Xia Mu, the most outstanding new star trainer in Unova recently, who was highly praised and recommended by Shaka and considered by Elite Four member Wanlong to have the potential to be a champion!
She has a deep bond with Pokémon, possesses great strength and potential, and of course, what Xi Lan values most is Xia Mu's powerful ability to taunt.
Thinking of the usually calm and stern Ju Laoda's tone when he was on the phone with her, Xi Lan knew that as long as Xia Mu made a move, these relatively naive students would definitely take Xia Mu as a goal they had to surpass and work hard for.
In this situation, if we attribute Natsuki's rapid improvement in strength to the deep bond between him and his Pokémon, it seems there is still hope for those children in the school who are gradually going astray!
"Therefore, I hope you can join the Blueberry League and become its champion, serving as a role model for all Blueberry students!"
???
Xia Mu felt that this setting was very familiar.
To save the school, I've decided to debut as the champion?!
Although it sounds interesting, but...
Xia Mu rests his index finger on the bridge of his nose, cosplaying as if pointing to the left.
"I refuse!"
Why?
Xi Lan was a little surprised. Remembering Boss Ju's complaints about Xia Mu's greedy nature, he quickly added:
"I can offer generous compensation!"
"Spray spray spray!"
Xia Mu wiggled his index finger from side to side and shook his head.
You really don't understand.
