"Bai Lin, so it's you stirring trouble again!"
Leng Yue clearly knew the inside story, and she had no intention of sparing Bai Lin's dignity. She stepped forward and sharply confronted him.
Bai Lin frowned, forcing out an explanation, "Leng Yue, I'm doing this for everyone's benefit! Don't you want to know the secret to avoiding Life Orb recoil?"
The appearance of Leng Yue and Bai Cai was indeed beyond Bai Lin's expectations. After all, who would've imagined that Guo Yi, a mere assistant teacher, had connections with these two?
Hearing Bai Lin's flimsy excuse, Leng Yue scoffed disdainfully:
"Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"
"These secrets are Teacher Guo's own research results. He can announce them whenever he wishes—it's not your place to meddle!"
Even considering Leng Yue's powerful family, being reprimanded directly to his face still made Bai Lin's expression grow extremely ugly.
But no matter how upset he was, what could he do?
Leng Yue and Bai Cai were people he absolutely couldn't afford to offend. He could only vent his anger onto Guo Yi instead.
Thus, Bai Lin coldly declared:
"I don't want to argue about these things with you."
"The issue right now is that Guo Yi openly used his Pokémon to attack students. This is an undeniable fact."
"I'll definitely report him to the school administration office. Let's see if he can still keep this teaching assistant position!"
With that—
Bai Lin prepared to leave with his group. Even if he couldn't provoke them, he could at least retreat, couldn't he?
Anyway, his target was Guo Yi, not Leng Yue or Bai Cai.
However, Bai Cai, who had remained silent throughout, suddenly spoke up coldly:
"You'd better reconsider carefully, student."
"Otherwise…"
"Teacher Guo might or might not remain in this school, but you will absolutely get expelled."
"If you don't believe me, go ahead and try!"
Was this a joke?
Right now, Bai Cai was still thinking about how to stop Guo Yi from slacking off. She'd just seen some progress, so how could she allow a spoiled brat like Bai Lin to interrupt it?
Although Bai Cai and Bai Lin shared the same surname, their relationship was distant at best. The Bai family had always tried various ways to build closer ties with Bai Cai, but without much success.
Hearing Bai Cai's blunt warning, Bai Lin's face turned several shades darker.
If any other teacher had said these words, Bai Lin would've dismissed them as a mere joke—one ear in, one ear out, completely indifferent.
But Bai Cai was different. Her status at Shanghai Pokémon University was undeniably high. Just recalling the principal's openly disappointed reaction when Bai Cai wasn't chosen as the teacher representative showed exactly how much the school valued her.
But that was only natural.
Someone like Bai Cai, capable in her own right and backed by a powerful family, would be considered a priceless asset by any university.
As for Bai Lin?
Expelling him would only require a simple excuse.
After all, what happened today could easily be made into a minor or major issue. Previously, Bai Lin had acted without consequences only because no one had bothered to seriously investigate him.
But now things were different.
With Teacher Bai stepping forward publicly on Guo Yi's side, wasn't it obvious whom the university's higher-ups would support?
Faced with Bai Cai's direct threat, Bai Lin immediately deflated!
"Hehe…"
Bai Lin laughed awkwardly, quickly adjusting his tone:
"Teacher Bai, you're absolutely right!"
"What I said just now was purely out of frustration—I wouldn't dare actually do it."
"Rest assured, Teacher Bai, everything that happened today was entirely our fault and had nothing to do with Teacher Guo."
Unlike other rich, arrogant heirs who couldn't read the situation, Bai Lin was very clear-headed.
If it benefited him, he would seize the opportunity without hesitation. But if it disadvantaged him, he'd readily back down when necessary.
"You'd better keep your word," Bai Cai continued coldly. "Otherwise, I might need to pay your family a little home visit."
The moment Bai Cai mentioned "home visit," Bai Lin completely panicked.
He knew exactly how much importance his family placed on Teacher Bai. If they discovered he'd offended her, he could hardly imagine how severe the consequences would be.
"Please don't worry, Teacher Bai. I'll go to the administration office right away and admit my mistake."
"I sincerely apologize for disrupting Teacher Guo's class today."
At this point, Bai Lin completely abandoned any sense of dignity. He had never imagined that the rumored close relationship between Bai Cai and Guo Yi would actually turn out to be true.
If he'd known earlier, Bai Lin would never have dared to cause trouble here!
After exchanging a satisfied glance, Bai Cai and Leng Yue turned around and walked into the classroom.
As for Bai Lin—he could only lead his group away in humiliation.
"Teacher Guo, don't worry. Bai Lin won't dare to bother you again."
Bai Cai approached Guo Yi and spoke reassuringly.
Guo Yi nodded slightly. Although he hadn't feared Bai Lin's threats at all, he still appreciated their timely help.
"Thank you both. I'll treat you to a meal sometime."
Leng Yue chuckled softly from the side, quickly interjecting:
"Teacher Guo, there's no need for dinner."
"But after finishing your lectures on Sandstorm tactics, could you possibly cover Hail weather next?"
This small request was something Guo Yi naturally wouldn't refuse.
With Bai Lin's troublemaking removed, things proceeded much more smoothly.
Once all registered students had entered the classroom, Guo Yi recalled his Ninetales into its Poké Ball, then turned toward the crowd of students still lingering outside:
"I hope everyone leaves some space for my officially enrolled students from now on. Otherwise, today's incident might repeat itself."
"If any of you still wish to attend my lectures, you may enter the classroom freely now."
Without waiting for their reactions—
Guo Yi turned around and walked directly to the podium, beginning his lesson without further delay.
The remaining students exchanged hesitant glances, at a loss for words.
A teacher this headstrong and decisive—they had never seen such a thing before.
Attacking without a moment's hesitation—
Was this the confidence of an Elite Four-level trainer?!
Amidst the crowd, Liu Hao stared fervently at Guo Yi's back, his eyes shining with admiration.
Is this what the trainer of the strongest Nidoking is like?
Too domineering!
Nidoking… Nidoking… if the trainer lacks a king's bearing, how could he command a Pokémon bearing the word 'King'?
As a fanatical Nidoking enthusiast, Liu Hao already considered Guo Yi to be the number one Nidoking trainer in existence. In Liu Hao's eyes, every single thing Guo Yi did made absolute sense.
The moment Guo Yi turned around, Liu Hao immediately strode forward.
Even though he hadn't managed to register officially, how could he possibly miss Guo Yi's lecture?
Seeing Liu Hao take action, many students quickly followed suit.
Of course—there were also some students who couldn't stand Guo Yi's forceful attitude, simply scoffing disdainfully before leaving.
But whether these students stayed or left didn't affect Guo Yi in the slightest.
He continued his class according to his own pace, entirely unaffected.
Yet—even without Bai Lin deliberately spreading the incident, Guo Yi's actions today quickly became widespread news.
After all, not every student thrown out by Ninetales had been hired by Bai Lin.
...
Night slowly descended, and in summer, even the darkness carried a gentle warmth.
The evening breeze brushed softly, bringing with it a special kind of comfort. By the pond at the edge of the woods, ripples danced gently under the breeze, creating a scene as beautiful as an immortal paradise.
Guo Yi and his Pokémon sat leisurely in the villa courtyard, enjoying the fading glow of sunset—a rare moment of relaxation.
Nearby, the Ninetales mother and daughter sat alongside Miss Lilligant, utterly engrossed in the latest Pokémon romance drama, "CEO Lucario Fell in Love With Me."
They were completely immersed, to the point that whenever the plot reached an emotional peak, they couldn't help but grab tissues and start sniffling.
Guo Yi watched them speechlessly.
Come on, you're Pokémon!
How can your minds be corrupted by these dramas?
A domineering CEO?
Could he possibly compare to me?
Meanwhile, Nidoking patiently shared his rapid-growth story with Guo Yi's newly captured Froakie, reassuring it not to worry about the explosive growth in strength it had experienced recently.
After all, the Froakie was linked to a Template—meaning even without special training from Guo Yi, its strength was rapidly increasing. The speed of its growth had made Froakie extremely anxious, even worrying if something might be wrong with its body.
Thus, as a responsible senior, Nidoking naturally stepped up to comfort and guide its junior.
At the same time, Beedrill—the strongest Pokémon in Guo Yi's team—was quietly scrolling through videos on a smartphone.
Of course, Beedrill wasn't watching any ordinary videos—it was viewing Pokémon wilderness documentaries by a famous explorer, Hunter Bei, who detailed every Pokémon encountered during his expeditions.
These documentaries didn't just introduce Pokémon characteristics and weaknesses; they also provided advice on how to protect oneself if encountered in the wild.
Beedrill found such content extremely valuable. Through these videos, it not only gained a deeper understanding of various Pokémon but also memorized their vital points.
For a Beedrill with the Sniper ability, knowing each Pokémon's weaknesses and critical spots greatly increased the chances of activating its ability during battle.
As for Zapdos…
Unfortunately, due to its sensitive identity, Guo Yi did not release it here.
"Bzzz!"
Suddenly, Beedrill called urgently towards Guo Yi, who was reclining comfortably.
"What's wrong, Beedrill?"
Guo Yi sat up, removing his sunglasses with curiosity. Given Beedrill's strength, what kind of video could possibly catch its attention?
Could it be that Hunter Bei was attempting a solo raid on a legendary Pokémon? Guo Yi mischievously speculated in his mind.
"Bzz-bzzz!" [Xiao Yi, look—it's a video of you and Ninetales!]
Beedrill quickly approached and handed Guo Yi the smartphone.
"Oh?" Guo Yi's eyes flashed with curiosity. "A video of me and Ninetales?"
He accepted the phone, focusing on the screen.
What appeared was precisely the scene from earlier today, showing him instructing Ninetales to toss the troublemaking students out of the classroom.
Yet, the video's title immediately made Guo Yi laugh aloud.
—[Shameless teacher abuses power during class, bullying students with his Pokémon!]
"Looks like one of those students who got thrown out uploaded this," Guo Yi chuckled, shaking his head lightly. Then, with interest, he opened the comments.
Sometimes, the comments were far more entertaining than the videos themselves.
To Guo Yi's surprise, the video had already surpassed tens of millions of views in just one afternoon, quickly skyrocketing onto the trending list. Underneath, there were hundreds of thousands of comments.
[OnlyMyScytherCanFly]:Never imagined Shanghai Pokémon University had such morally corrupt teachers.
[HotbloodedTrainerLegend]:Big world, all kinds of weirdos out there!
[DishwasherDaily]:I might get flamed, but I believe there must be a reason the teacher acted this way. Poster, please share the entire video!
[GiveMeTheTruth]:This teacher dares to be so arrogant in school? He must have a powerful background! Netizens, let's dig it up!
[GossipGuru]:I recognize this teacher. He recently made waves in Shanghai's black market and even stole a Pokémon reserved by a retired Elite Four trainer!
Since the uploader had deliberately shown only the scene of Ninetales throwing students out and used a provocative title, the vast majority of viewers naturally assumed Guo Yi was relying on his strength to bully others.
The comments were filled with criticism.
Guo Yi casually tapped the related links, noticing many popular influencers also jumping onto the controversy, angrily denouncing his actions.
"To gain views, these people really have no shame."
Seeing these influencers eagerly attacking him with moralistic fervor, Guo Yi only felt disgust.
He'd seen such scenarios countless times in his previous life. Whenever a trending controversy arose, these influencers would mindlessly fan the flames, ignoring the truth and brutally cyberbullying the people involved.
Once the facts were revealed, they'd suddenly switch sides to defend the victim.
Amazing.
Playing both hero and villain, reaping fame and fortune while leaving the suffering for others.
Guo Yi deeply despised such hypocritical behavior.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
While Guo Yi continued browsing, his phone suddenly rang.
"Bai Cai? Why's she calling me?"
Guo Yi, somewhat puzzled, answered the call.
"Teacher Bai, something wrong?"
Unexpectedly, the first thing Bai Cai said was an apology:
"I'm really sorry, Guo Yi!"
Guo Yi was completely stunned.
"Sorry? Why would you be apologizing to me?"
Bai Cai's voice was filled with genuine regret. "Earlier today, I promised you that what happened wouldn't affect you. I never thought the online backlash would become this intense…"
Her words were tinged with embarrassment. After all, she'd just assured Guo Yi everything was fine, yet things had exploded far beyond expectations.
"It's fine, Bai Cai." Guo Yi chuckled lightly. "This has nothing to do with you. I don't care about those comments anyway."
He truly hadn't expected Bai Cai would take responsibility for this.
However, Bai Cai insisted firmly:
"Don't worry, Guo Yi—I always keep my promises."
Before he could respond, she anxiously hung up the phone.
Listening to the dial tone, Guo Yi shook his head helplessly. Although he didn't care about the controversy, Bai Cai's sincere attitude still warmed his heart.
"Perhaps I should find an opportunity to repay her kindness," Guo Yi thought quietly, leaning back comfortably.
After hanging up, Bai Cai quickly dialed another number.
...
At this moment—
Inside Modu's extravagant "Taizi KTV," Bai Lin was partying wildly, releasing the pent-up frustration from today's humiliation.
"Young Master Bai, a phone call for you."
One of his lackeys respectfully handed Bai Lin the ringing phone.
"Who is it? What a buzzkill!"
Interrupted mid-song, Bai Lin showed clear displeasure, but reluctantly set aside his microphone and answered the phone.
Whoever could call him directly wasn't someone ordinary.
"Hello? Who is this? What do you want?"
Bai Lin questioned lazily, sipping beer. Seeing the unfamiliar number, he didn't even know who was calling.
