Chapter 232 Charmander and Squirtle
After hearing Xia Linxi's words, Qiao Yingzi fell silent for a moment. She lowered her head slightly, frowning, as if she was going through a fierce struggle in her heart.
After a long moment, she slowly raised her head, looking at Xia Linxi with a somewhat dim gaze. She said softly, "Xiaoxi, you know how stubborn my mother is. She always thinks my top priority is studying hard. Anything else is considered a waste of precious study time. Even though Pokémon is very popular and loved by everyone, in her eyes, it's not a proper job, even though I'm a college student now."
After listening to Qiao Yingzi's confession, Xia Linxi nodded silently to show her understanding and agreement.
After all, she was well aware of Song Qian's consistent strict requirements on Qiao Yingzi and her emphasis on academic performance.
So, when she learned that Song Qian opposed Qiao Yingzi's training of Pokémon, she was not too surprised.
Xia Linxi then leaned forward a little and said to Qiao Yingzi in a gentle but firm tone, "Yingzi, why don't you just tell Auntie this: I gave you this Pokémon, and tell her that I'm also raising Pokémon myself. Maybe then Auntie Song Qian will change her mind and agree to let you have your own Pokémon."
Having said that, Xia Linxi paused for a moment, and her originally relaxed expression suddenly became extremely serious.
She stared intently into Qiao Yingzi's eyes and continued solemnly, "Also, Yingzi, I sincerely hope you can find a suitable opportunity to persuade Aunt Song Qian. Tell her to try to accept these new and interesting things, and not always be so repulsive and resistant to new ideas. Otherwise, if this continues for a long time, the consequences may be really not optimistic. I'm sure you understand this in your heart, right?"
Hearing Xia Linxi's serious and sincere words, Qiao Yingzi couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.
She bit her lip, her eyes flickering, her mind quickly calculating various possibilities and countermeasures.
After a few minutes, she finally nodded vigorously, as if she had made up her mind, and responded, "Okay, I understand, Xiaoxi! Thank you for your idea. I will definitely try my best!"
Seeing Qiao Yingzi's extremely serious expression, Xia Linxi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and said softly: "Since that's the case, then next, you might as well quickly open the Poké Balls in your hands and take a look at the Pokémon inside!"
As Xia Linxi's voice slowly fell, Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao looked at each other at the same time, and their eyes seemed to convey some kind of tacit understanding and expectation.
Then, they reached out their hands cautiously and excitedly and gently pressed the button on the Poké Ball.
At that moment, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the Poké Ball.
When the light gradually dissipated, everyone looked closely and saw a small Charmander with a bright orange body majestically appearing in front of Qiao Yingzi; on the other side, a Squirtle stood in front of Huang Zhitao in a cute manner.
When Charmander and Squirtle saw Xia Linxi for the first time, they could not hide their joy and shouted happily at her.
Suddenly, a clear and loud roar was heard: "Roar!" It turned out that Charmander opened its mouth wide, releasing its enthusiasm and energy.
At the same time, the Squirtle on the side was not to be outdone and made a series of cute and playful calls: "Jenny, Jenny!"
Looking at the happy and excited looks of the two Pokémon, Charmander and Squirtle, the smile on Xia Linxi's face became even more intense.
She slowly squatted down, gently stretched out her hands, gently stroked their little heads, and said softly, "Charmander and Squirtle, these two little ladies in front of you are the exclusive trainers I carefully selected for you! In the future, you must follow them and grow together, and experience countless wonderful and interesting adventures together!"
After hearing what Xia Linxi said, Charmander and Squirtle seemed to understand and nodded obediently.
Then, they turned their big round eyes curiously and began to look at Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao carefully.
Xia Linxi stood aside, nervously watching Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao. They remained motionless in front of Charmander and Squirtle, as if frozen in place.
Seeing this, Xia Linxi couldn't help but feel anxious. She quickly shouted, "Hurry up and talk to them! If you can get their further approval, then I can safely hand over the task of taking care of them to you!"
With Xia Linxi's urgent urging voice ringing in their ears, Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao hurried into action. They each walked to Charmander and Squirtle, the two cute and magical babies, and spoke to them softly, hoping to win more of their trust and love.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally, after a while, Qiao Yingzi smiled and gently reached out her hand to stroke Huo Xiaolong's head.
As for Charmander, it seemed as if he was enjoying this intimate gesture very much. He closed his eyes slightly, with an expression of comfort and satisfaction on his face.
At the same time, Huang Zhitao, who was standing on the other side, also had a smile on his face and was gently stroking Squirtle's little head with his hands.
Being treated so kindly, Squirtle narrowed his eyes with joy and shouted happily: "Jenny! Jenny!"
Witnessing this scene, the clever Xia Linxi instantly understood - Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao had obviously succeeded in gaining further recognition from these two Pokémon.
So she nodded contentedly, expressing her great satisfaction with the result.
At this moment, Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao turned to Xia Linxi simultaneously, their faces filled with sincerity and joy, and said in unison: "Xiaoxi, thank you so much!"
Hearing this, Xia Linxi shook her head slightly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a warm smile as she responded, "Don't be polite with me. We are good friends. This little thing is nothing to worry about!"
After a brief pause, Xia Linxi suddenly seemed to remember something important and quickly added, "Oh, by the way, there's something I forgot to tell you. These two Pokémon weren't actually mine. They were Pokémon eggs that Lin Tian obtained a few days ago. They only hatched successfully in the past few days."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao quickly turned their heads and their eyes fell on Lin Tian.
At this moment, their eyes were full of gratitude, as if they could see a flickering light.
Facing the two people's passionate gazes, Lin Tian just smiled slightly. That smile was as warm as the warm sunshine in spring. He waved his hand gently, indicating that they don't need to take this matter to heart.
