Chapter 10

"Qu?!"

Psyduck: ∑(O_O;)

Clearly, Psyduck was very shocked that Yang Kaibai wasn't asleep at around 12 o'clock.

Without any preparation!

Psyduck had planned to make a stylish entrance, shining brightly!

But...

Yang Kaibai, who should have been asleep in bed, wasn't asleep!

Under normal circumstances, Yang Kaibai would definitely be asleep at this time. The high school schedule was the most regular.

Waking up around 7 in the morning, and going to bed around 10 at night.

Almost without fail.

"Psyduck, you don't have your day and night mixed up, do you?"

Yang Kaibai could have fallen asleep long ago, but his mind kept thinking about what Yang Mama had said, combined with his knowledge of such Pokémon as Psyduck. The more he thought, the more excited he became, and the less he could sleep...

Then.

He saw Psyduck, full of energy, come out of the Poké Ball on its own.

Not sleeping at night...

What was it up to?

Yang Kaibai suddenly remembered a small matter. During the initial test waiting period in the daytime, Sheng Bufang had jokingly mentioned...

That he had scheduled too long a training time for Psyduck at night...

At that time, Yang Kaibai was quite puzzled.

He clearly hadn't scheduled anything!

He was sleeping soundly in bed, and could he even sleepwalk and give training commands to Psyduck?

Now, seeing Psyduck appear so energetically, Yang Kaibai finally understood something...

Eating and sleeping during the day, and then...

Full of energy at night!

No wonder Yang Kaibai couldn't wake Psyduck up no matter how hard he tried...

It turned out Psyduck was a night owl!

"Psyduck~ Qu!"

Psyduck touched a wound on its bottom, where some fur had fallen off. In the moonlight streaming in through the window like flowing water, it looked even more pitiful.

Yang Kaibai blinked his eyes.

Well, in this aspect... he wasn't a qualified trainer yet.

"I'll get a band-aid! Psyduck, I'll help you put it on!"

Yang Kaibai turned on the bedside lamp and found a band-aid in a small medicine box in the drawer.

The band-aid was attached to an anti-inflammatory ointment. Although the amount was small, it was more than enough to deal with the wound on Psyduck's bottom, which had been poked by a Krabby's claw.

"Qu~"

Psyduck hugged its face, lifting its bottom to show the wound to Yang Kaibai...

Embarrassing.

"If you had been awake, you wouldn't have been poked by Krabby's claw," Yang Kaibai said as he tore open the band-aid and stuck it on the still red wound. Psyduck winced and "qu"ed again.

"It's all done."

Psyduck blinked and wiggled its tail, showing the band-aid stuck near the small wound...

"Psyduck~"

Psyduck thanked Yang Kaibai by stretching out its two small paws and clinging to his shoulder.

Hugging its trainer and sticking closely to the trainer...

This was the simplest way for a Pokémon to express joy and gratitude.

"Be more careful next time."

Yang Kaibai stroked the three black tufts of hair on Psyduck's head.

No matter how silly Psyduck's previous behavior was, how helpless it made him feel, and even how much it made Yang Kaibai want to give up, in the Pokémon world, love and being loved were far more meaningful than a Pokémon battle.

"Psyduck... do you remember the feeling you had when you were sleeping on the battlefield during the day?" Yang Kaibai felt a glimmer of hope again.

If Psyduck could remember that feeling...

Would it be easier to touch the mysteries of the Psychic type?

Psyduck hugged its head again, trying hard to close its eyes.

Thinking, thinking...

The corners of its mouth gradually started to rise, thinking about the drinks, fries, and grilled mackerel at the riverside dock...

Psyduck: (๑´•﹃•`๑)

Yang Kaibai: ...

Seeing the drool almost dripping from Psyduck's mouth, how could Yang Kaibai not know what Psyduck was thinking?

Just as Yang Kaibai felt a headache, preparing to lie down and sigh in disappointment, ready to give up...

Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed.

An idea quietly emerged.

Psyduck...

Seemed to have no resistance to any delicious food.

Its stomach didn't look very big, but it was like a bottomless pit, capable of holding a lot.

Whether it was the runny egg yolk buns in the morning or the grapefruit soda at the riverside dock in the afternoon, the nutrients from the fruits used were real.

Confucius once said...

Teach according to the student's aptitude.

Just like in Yang Kaibai's past life...

If you could score 100 on the final exam, your parents would buy you a four-wheel drive car!

If you could win first place in the children's English speech contest, your parents would buy you a powerful Beyblade!

If...

Often, under the effect of motivation, no one knew what potential might be unleashed, even beyond their own imagination!

"Psyduck... think, think carefully. When you were sleeping, did a glass of grapefruit soda fall from the sky... You stretched out your little paws, but the glass of grapefruit soda was far away, about to fall and break!"

Psyduck's little paws trembled!

"Psyduck, you didn't want to see the soda fall and break, so... you used your Psychic power! You used telekinesis to stop the glass of grapefruit soda from falling and controlled it... to fly into your hands!"

Psyduck blinked, its paws, which it had just stretched out, subconsciously grabbed: !!

Did it think like that?

That was grapefruit soda!

No, grapefruit soda wasn't as good as pomelo soda, it had to be pomelo soda!

But... grapefruit soda was also very good, qu!

"Psyduck, besides grapefruit soda... there are also Drowzee cookies! Cream-flavored Drowzee cookies, which are widely recognized as the best cookies, crispy and crunchy, with a mouthful of sweet cream flavor when you bite into them..."

Yang Kaibai felt that under such "persuasive training," some physical help was needed.

He couldn't produce grapefruit soda now, but Drowzee cookies... he had them in his room!

Hmm?

Strange, why was there only an empty box and a plastic bag in the drawer?

It must have been Psyduck who opened and ate them in the middle of the night while Yang Kaibai was sleeping!

Stealing and eating was one thing...

But not leaving any for him!

How despicable!

Yang Kaibai took out the empty Drowzee cookie box and the plastic bag from the drawer, and threw them in front of Psyduck, one on each side.

Psyduck: (꒪Д)ノ

Psyduck! What! Qu!

Facing Yang Kaibai's angry gaze...

Psyduck was nervous!

When Psyduck got nervous, it panicked, hugged its head, and its paws trembled. From its body, a mysterious force that even Psyduck didn't know about seemed to be forced out...

A pale blue glow condensed in Psyduck's eyes!

...

"I can! Psychic!"
