They had agreed to meet at Tianhai Plaza at eight o'clock, but Jiang Chen arrived there at seven-thirty with Xiao Luoxue, only to find that Ling Wanqiu was already there.
"So early? When did you arrive?"
"I just got here too." Ling Wanqiu smiled sweetly and charmingly at Jiang Chen.
"Hello, we meet again. I was lucky to win our last sparring match. I look forward to sparring with you again."
Xiao Luoxue extended her hand to Ling Wanqiu.
"Last time was just carelessness. The result will be different in our next sparring match."
Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue shook hands, but when their eyes met, sparks seemed to fly.
"I don't think the result will be any different even if we spar again. In my heart, there's only one person who can be my opponent."
Although Xiao Luoxue didn't directly say who that opponent was, Ling Wanqiu could guess it was definitely Jiang Chen.
Did her words imply that Ling Wanqiu was not even worthy of being Xiao Luoxue's opponent?
"How about we try?" Ling Wanqiu's smile was a little stiff at the moment.
"Alright, it wouldn't be bad to defeat you again."
"We're here to have fun, not to battle."
Jiang Chen quickly interrupted the two women, who were full of tension. He seemed to have anticipated this scene long ago.
Are these two fighting over me? Thinking that might be a bit too narcissistic.
"Yes, we're here for a date."
Ling Wanqiu said with a radiant smile, emphasizing the word "date."
"Damn it, this woman is deliberately provoking me." Xiao Luoxue shook her twin ponytails. Don't get angry; if I get angry, I'll fall into her trap, and I'll lose.
"Gardevoir, Gardevoir~!"
Gardevoir directly pulled Jiang Chen, walking away, telling Jiang Chen to ignore these two troublesome women.
Seeing Jiang Chen being pulled away by Gardevoir, Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue stopped glaring at each other and immediately chased after him.
The newly opened amusement park was not far from Tianhai Plaza. Upon arriving, Jiang Chen realized that this amusement park was actually owned by his family.
He didn't have much detailed knowledge of his family's businesses, so he truly didn't know. Only after seeing the name "Yulan Amusement Park" did he realize it was an amusement park opened by his family.
"This is your family's amusement park, isn't it?" Ling Wanqiu looked at Jiang Chen.
She only knew that a new amusement park had opened near Tianhai Plaza, having heard it from Wang Xin. She hadn't known the name of this amusement park before coming.
"Yes, it is indeed opened by my family, but I didn't know it before."
Jiang Chen and the others bought tickets to enter the amusement park. They didn't reveal their identities, so they naturally needed to buy tickets.
"This must be the tallest and largest Ferris wheel I've ever seen."
Xiao Luoxue looked at the Ferris wheel that stood out from the rest.
"Let's go, let's take a look. I wonder if we can see the entire Tianhai City from the top." Jiang Chen led Ling Wanqiu and the others towards it.
Halfway there, Gardevoir suddenly pulled Jiang Chen, then pointed to the ice cream stand nearby.
"Want ice cream?"
Jiang Chen took Gardevoir over.
"What flavors do you like?"
Looking at the many flavors of ice cream, Jiang Chen asked Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue.
"Yogurt flavor, please," Ling Wanqiu said.
Xiao Luoxue looked around, then pointed to the strawberry-flavored ice cream: "I want strawberry."
Jiang Chen bought two ice creams for Gardevoir, who loved sweets the most, then he took a blueberry-flavored one. They each had one.
On the Ferris wheel, when it reached its highest point, looking out, one could almost see a panoramic view of Tianhai City. It was true that the higher you stood, the further you could see.
However, if one had acrophobia, looking straight down would probably scare them to death.
"Do you two want to go to the haunted house?"
After getting off the Ferris wheel, Jiang Chen looked at the haunted house not far away.
"No... no, let's not."
Seeing the words "Haunted House," Xiao Luoxue's face turned pale.
"I think going to the haunted house would be good."
Ling Wanqiu, who originally didn't want to go either, saw Xiao Luoxue's pale face and immediately changed her mind.
"If you're scared, you can wait outside. Jiang Chen and I will go in."
"Who... who said I'm scared? It's just a haunted house; I'll go in."
After being provoked, Xiao Luoxue instantly couldn't resist.
"How about we just don't go?" Jiang Chen glanced at the two girls and said.
"Go, we must go."
Xiao Luoxue directly pulled Jiang Chen. Ling Wanqiu then grabbed Jiang Chen's other hand, and they walked towards the haunted house.
Gardevoir glared at the two women in dissatisfaction, as they had taken her spot.
"Ahhh!!!"
"Don't come closer!!!"
Inside the haunted house, the two women screamed in fear, clinging to Jiang Chen's embrace like quails. To be honest, Jiang Chen certainly gained an advantage.
"Are you the ones people call 'bad at it but love to play'?"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but complain.
However, the haunted house was indeed quite frightening. The things inside weren't mere props but illusions created by Ghost-type Pokémon, making them appear particularly real.
If Jiang Chen didn't possess Aura, enabling him to discern illusions, he probably would have been scared too.
This was the first time Jiang Chen had realized that Aura also possessed such an ability.
"How about I use Teleport to get you two out of here?"
They had only been in there for less than three minutes, but if they wanted to walk out, it would take at least half an hour.
"No... no problem, I can still bear it. I just don't know if she can," Ling Wanqiu raised her head from Jiang Chen's embrace and looked at Xiao Luoxue.
"Of... of course... I can."
Xiao Luoxue's voice trembled slightly. Despite being so scared, she was still 'competing internally.' To be honest, Jiang Chen somewhat admired them.
"Stop trying to be tough."
Jiang Chen simply used Teleport to take them out of the haunted house.
After leaving the haunted house, feeling the sunlight shining down, Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Some people are truly pathetic; they were even scared to tears."
"Who said I was scared to tears?"
Xiao Luoxue wiped away tears from her face and glared defiantly at Ling Wanqiu.
"Let's go in again and see who gets scared to tears first."
"Alright, let's go in again and see who gets scared to tears."
Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue walked towards the haunted house. This time, Jiang Chen didn't bother to stop them.
"Gar?"
Gardevoir wondered why Jiang Chen wasn't stopping them.
"Do you believe me? They'll chicken out and turn back the moment they reach the door." Jiang Chen found a long bench and sat there with Gardevoir, waiting.
Sure enough, upon reaching the haunted house entrance, both felt the chilling aura of Ghost-type Pokémon and immediately chickened out.
If Jiang Chen had followed them, they might have pushed through, but without him, they didn't dare to go in, as Jiang Chen made them feel safe.
"Jiang Chen didn't come, so I'm not going in."
"That guy must be scared. Fine, let's humor him."
The two women simultaneously turned back. This time, neither continued to provoke the other.
"Why didn't you two go in? I was waiting for you to perform your 'brave rush into the haunted house' act." Jiang Chen looked at the two with a playful smile.
"Hmph." x2
Both snorted in unison, feeling embarrassed and annoyed by Jiang Chen's teasing smile.
"Let's go play something else. There's a roller coaster over there."
Although roller coasters were thrilling, they weren't afraid. They often rode flying Pokémon into the sky, so how could they be afraid of a roller coaster?
"If you want to overcome your fear of ghosts, I suggest you catch a Ghost-type Pokémon."
After getting off the roller coaster, Jiang Chen said to the two.
"I will never catch a Ghost-type Pokémon in my life." Xiao Luoxue said directly.
Ling Wanqiu nodded in agreement. Not only that, she also wanted to catch a Dark-type Pokémon to counter Ghost-types.
Indeed, few people were willing to catch Ghost-type Pokémon, because Ghost-type Pokémon tended to be mischievous, especially Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar.
Their appearance wasn't particularly terrifying, but Ghost-type Pokémon's knack for scaring people was too much for many to handle.
"It looks like there's a shooting game over here. Let's go check it out."
Xiao Luoxue looked towards the hall on the right.
It was a shooting game, but not for humans; Pokémon participated, limited to Water-type Pokémon using Water Gun to hit clay pigeons.
If all clay pigeons were hit, one could win a super-sized Pikachu plushie.
Besides the Pikachu plushie, there were also Eevee plushies, Dragonite plushies, and various other plushies.
"I want to participate."
Upon seeing the Pikachu plushie, Xiao Luoxue couldn't take her eyes off it.
"I'll participate too."
Girls loved these super-sized plushies. Jiang Chen, on the other hand, didn't join in.
Only Water-type Pokémon could be used, and both of them had Water-type Pokémon. Xiao Luoxue sent out Milotic, which immediately drew gasps from the crowd.
As the most beautiful Pokémon, it naturally attracted quite a bit of attention.
Ling Wanqiu sent out Seadra. Her previous Horsea had evolved into Seadra.
This shooting game had some difficulty. Although the clay pigeons started slowly, the later ones were fast.
Fortunately, both of them were skilled. They successfully shattered all clay pigeons and received their reward plushies.
Xiao Luoxue chose the Pikachu plushie, while Ling Wanqiu looked around and finally chose the Dragonite plushie.
The two giant plushies were inconvenient to carry, but fortunately, they could be stored there and picked up when they left.
"Why aren't you participating?" Ling Wanqiu asked Jiang Chen.
"If I were to participate too, and we took three plushies, wouldn't the owner cry himself to death?"
"Luoxue."
A surprised shout made Xiao Luoxue frown.
"Why is this annoying guy here too?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen looked over. It was Lin Yuefeng, the guy who had been defeated by Ling Wanqiu during the last friendly exchange match between their two schools.
"Sorry, I don't know you. Don't call me so intimately."
Xiao Luoxue said with an annoyed expression, which made Lin Yuefeng's face stiffen.
"Why are you with this guy?"
Lin Yuefeng glared at Jiang Chen with hostility.
"Does it concern you? Get out of my sight, or don't make me say unpleasant things."
Xiao Luoxue's impolite words caused Lin Yuefeng to lose a lot of face. The pointing fingers of the surrounding people and his few followers made him feel unable to back down.
"Xiao Luoxue, can you give me some face? Don't go too far."
He was someone who cared a lot about his reputation. Losing face outside made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"If you want face, then get lost. Don't even look in the mirror to see what you are, and you dare to pursue this young lady? If I ever see you again, stay far away, or I'll break your teeth."
Xiao Luoxue became even more impolite.
After being insulted so mercilessly, Lin Yuefeng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Let's go, let's continue playing. Don't pay attention to this flashy idiot."
Lin Yuefeng roared angrily. If he were to be insulted like this and then let them go, he would completely lose all face.
"What, you're not convinced and still want to cause trouble?"
Xiao Luoxue's anger had also accumulated to its limit.
She had tolerated this fool for a long time.
He pursued her ostentatiously at school. After being rejected, he was still like a disgusting sticky candy.
When he lost to her, he told outsiders that she had gone easy on him. Does this young lady need you to go easy on her? If you lost, you lost. Don't make excuses, aren't you ashamed?
"Xiao Luoxue, my patience has limits. Don't make me angry." Lin Yuefeng roared.
"Slap!"
A slap suddenly landed on his face.
"Who the hell are you yelling at?"
Jiang Chen's slap knocked Lin Yuefeng to the ground.
Seeing Jiang Chen suddenly make a move, Lin Yuefeng's few followers didn't dare to move at all. They were all from Imperial Pokémon Academy and all knew Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was the ruthless person who had overturned their Imperial Pokémon Academy, and it was said he was also a psychic.
They couldn't beat him, and even if they could, they wouldn't dare to make a move.
"Jiang Chen, you're f*cking asking for death."
"Who are you calling asking for death?" 2.4
Looking at Lin Yuefeng, who was trying to get up, Jiang Chen kicked him back to the ground.
"I've heard about your reputation as a good-for-nothing. I heard that even after losing to Xiao Luoxue, you still dared to claim to be the best at school, right? I feel that your thick skin is far inferior to mine."
"The Capital's Greatest Bragger, what else can you do besides brag?"
Jiang Chen's comment, "The Capital's Greatest Bragger," directly broke Lin Yuefeng's mental defenses.
"Jiang Chen, do you have the guts to have a Pokémon battle with me?"
Lin Yuefeng, whose defenses were shattered, stared at Jiang Chen with bloodshot eyes.
"What are you, to challenge me? If every cat and dog came to challenge me, wouldn't I be exhausted to death? You cat and dog don't deserve to know, do you?"
"You, who can only rely on others to brag about you, don't need to challenge me to prove yourself. Just find more people to brag about you, and the title of 'World's Strongest Champion' will be yours."
"If you can't find anyone, I'll even help you buy internet trolls to brag about you."
Then Jiang Chen, with a look of disdain, took Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue away.
"You're usually so gentle, but you're really something. That was satisfying."
Xiao Luoxue was in a great mood. She had wanted to beat that guy up for a long time to vent her anger.
"He's usually quite gentle, but when someone provokes him, he goes straight for the kill," Ling Wanqiu said with a smile, looking at Jiang Chen.
She couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw Lin Yuefeng looking like he was about to vomit blood from anger.
"But I think you should have agreed to battle him."
"Why?" Jiang Chen asked Ling Wanqiu.
"To completely shatter his mentality. Instantly defeat him a few times, shatter his mentality. Wouldn't it be better to have one less opponent in the Freshman Trainer Competition?" Although Jiang Chen called Lin Yuefeng a good-for-nothing braggart, he actually had some strength and was considered one of the formidable opponents.
