Xia Huna did indeed restrain himself, for example, he didn't mention the pink serum he used, nor did he say that Song Shuangyu's strength was not worthy of the title of Elite Trainer. It was better to keep these two matters hidden; being exposed wasn't necessarily a good thing.
But just because Xia Huna didn't mention it didn't mean Yu Longdu wouldn't ask, "Hey, Old Xia, what was that pink stuff you used? You went berserk after taking it. I've never seen such a powerful stimulant before."
Xia Huna chuckled, "Stimulant? Have you ever seen someone take a stimulant and end up bedridden? As for what it is... don't ask. Even if you ask, you won't be able to get it."
Yu Longdu moved closer to Xia Huna, "Oh? Something even you can get, you think I can't?"
While Yu Longdu and Xia Huna were locked in a verbal battle over the Mew serum, debates about Xia Huna's "grand lecture" had already erupted online.
"So, if I master these points Xia-boss mentioned, can I defeat an Elite Trainer?"
"Don't be ridiculous. You need to consider that Xia-boss had all the advantages – timing, location, and people – plus his own strength. He was beaten up this badly fighting an Elite Trainer. You'd fare even worse, wouldn't you?"
"Damn, hearing you say that makes me want to do nothing. I've decided to lie flat and be a slug."
"The guy above is right. And you all should know, the Elite Trainer Xia-boss fought was a fraud who used banned substances..."
There was no need to worry about the online opinions; the League would guide them. Meanwhile, Xia Huna's companions were extremely curious about where he got the peculiar serum. Xia Huna couldn't tell them; he felt a sense of danger.
Just then, the infirmary door opened again, and Bai Lan walked in with two girls, saying, "Xia Huna, these two girls say they're your fans and came to see you. You're quite popular, aren't you?"
Xia Huna glanced at the girl in a pink floral dress, and a cold sweat broke out. Yu Longdu, still being provocative, chimed in, "Say, where did you meet such pretty girls? It's October, and she's still wearing a dress? Even if Jinghai is warmer, this is a bit much."
"Shut up. Uh, Mengmeng, why did you bring Mengjie with you?"
The girl called Mengmeng shrugged, "You injected the thing I gave you directly, and then Mengjie found out. She scolded me and then came straight here to find you."
Xia Huna looked at Sister Meng, who stood behind Mengmeng with a serious expression. "Sister Meng, don't be like that. You're scaring me."
Sister Meng extended her hand, and on it, two black and white spheres rotated like small exercise balls. Mengmeng stepped aside, "Sister Meng means, do you want to eat this white ball or this black ball, or... swallow the entire Tai Chi ball whole?"
The faster the two spheres on Sister Meng's hand spun, the more they vaguely resembled a Tai Chi diagram to Xia Huna. Xia Huna gave Sister Meng an awkward smile, "Uh, Sister Meng, let's put that down. Mengmeng and I are accomplices..."
Mengmeng stomped her foot, "Hmph, we're not friends anymore. Xiaoyu, let's hug, and ignore this big pig's trotters."
With that, Mengmeng transformed back into her true form, Mew, in Shen Yu's arms. "He's the worst! I gave him my serum to help him, and not only is he ungrateful, but he also sold me out. I'll never help him again."
Shen Yu hugged the cute little Mew, "So that pink stuff was yours? No wonder it was so effective."
"Yeah, Mew is so amazing!"
With Mew no longer acting as a buffer, Xia Huna had to face the immense pressure from his "Sister Meng." "Uh, Sister Meng, listen to me..."
Before Xia Huna could finish speaking, Sister Meng threw the two balls from her hand, creating a massive vortex at Xia Huna's feet. Xia Huna felt as if he'd been tossed into a giant washing machine, tumbling round and round until he nearly vomited.
The onlookers, seeing Mengmeng transform into Mew and then Sister Meng conjure a Tai Chi ball, were stunned. Zhang Hong rubbed his head, "Holy crap, are all girls this terrifying nowadays? Not only can they transform into Pokémon, but they can also conjure Poké Balls out of thin air? This is like a ghost story!"
Yu Longdu glared at Zhang Hong impatiently. "You have limits to your clowning. Is this the time for that?"
Xia Huna, finally managing to extricate himself from the Tai Chi ball's influence, leaned on the nearby bed with his right hand. "Sister Meng, you're trying to kill me! You crippled me once already, and now again? That's unreasonable!"
Sister Meng turned away, clearly displeased about him drawing Mew's blood. Mew floated out from Shen Yu's embrace and conjured a wheelchair. "Ta-da! Look at this! Even if Sister Meng beats you into a quadriplegic again, we'll have time for you to recover slowly."
Xia Huna leaned in. The wheelchair he had used before appeared in front of him. "Wait, didn't I lend this to someone?"
Mew nodded. "Yes, but her injuries have healed, so I took it back."
Xia Huna couldn't comprehend it. "That was a chronic old injury, how did it heal so quickly?"
Mew glanced at Sister Meng. "Your Sister Meng says your injury was inflicted by her. Are they the same?"
Xia Huna: "Uh, should I refute that?"
...
About ten minutes later, Xia Huna and the others were sitting in a circle, with Mew sitting in the middle. Sister Meng, maintaining her aloof Mewtwo demeanor, stood to the side watching them. Zhang Hong cautiously tugged at Xia Huna's sleeve, "I feel a lot of pressure sitting next to your Sister Meng."
Xia Huna patted his hand. "Don't worry, my Sister Meng cares most about Mew. As long as you don't provoke her, I guarantee you'll be fine."
Yu Longdu, sitting nearby, took a photo of Mew and then asked both Mew and Xia Huna, "So, the barrier that prevented us from entering the school earlier was set up by you and Mewtwo? And the serum Xia Huna used earlier was indeed Mew's serum?"
Mew answered first, "Yes! Not only did we block you, but when that person used Alakazam to suppress that bad guy, Mewtwo and I also helped."
Xia Huna nodded. "Yes, Mew gave it to me willingly. Don't expect anything from the League. Didn't you see the price I paid? I almost got killed by Mewtwo!"
Yu Longdu put away the photo of Mew. "You're right. Firstly, although Mew is documented by the League, it's very difficult to see Mew, let alone get its serum. Secondly, we have no intention of making enemies with Mew and Mewtwo, so you can rest assured."
Xia Huna looked at Yu Longdu with a hint of disbelief. "Is that so? Are you sure you don't want to make enemies, or are you just not strong enough?"
Yu Longdu coughed awkwardly. "Alright, alright, don't say any more. I understand what's going on. I'll be going back now; the League is waiting for my report. See you next time."
Watching Yu Longdu turn and leave resolutely, Xia Huna sighed and placed his hand on Mew's head. "Mew, why do I feel like my body is getting more and more comfortable after coming out of Sister Meng's Poké Ball?"
Mew poked Xia Huna's face. "Let me poke you for a bit. You feel comfortable because my serum and your body are repelling each other. I let you take it little by little because I was afraid it would be bad for your body if you took it all at once. Now, it seems Mewtwo's Poké Ball has resolved the side effects."
Xia Huna nodded. "I see. In that case, little Mengmeng, can you draw a bit more blood for me?"
As soon as Xia Huna finished speaking, he instinctively covered his head, fearing Mew would be angry. However, Mew remained silent, simply hugging its tail in front of him, looking adorable. Xia Huna didn't receive an attack from Mew. He cautiously opened his eyes and looked at Mew, but Mew pointed behind her. "Although I don't mind drawing more for you, someone else does. Good luck. I'll leave the wheelchair for you."
Xia Huna followed Mew's gaze and saw Mewtwo holding a giant Poké Ball, about two meters in diameter. Mew translated, "Your Sister Meng said that if you can survive eating this Poké Ball, she won't mind me drawing more blood for you."
Upon hearing this, Xia Huna immediately caved. "Sister Meng, I was wrong! Please don't be angry, and don't hit me with the Poké Ball. I'll never stare at Mew again. Please be merciful!"
Seeing Xia Huna concede, Mewtwo lowered its hand and began to drag Mew away. Mew reverted to its human form. "Okay, we'll be going now. We'll visit you again when we have time and bring you good things. Oh, and don't forget about that festival."
With that, Mew was adorably dragged away by Mewtwo. Xia Huna watched their retreating figures. "Alright, my friends are gone, and my injuries are almost healed. Let's leave here."
Shen Yu held Xia Huna's hand. "Okay, but you have to tell me about that festival."
Meanwhile, Zhang Hong and Bai Lan stared at Xia Huna and Shen Yu in disbelief. "You two have seen such powerful Pokémon."
"Just average. Hey, Zhang Hong, are you sure you're not going back to class? My Xiaoyu is a perfect six-element trainer, but you're just short of that. Don't you want the Yu family girl?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hong turned to leave. "You're right, I should go back to class."
Bai Lan also turned to leave. "I have class this afternoon, so I won't bother with you two anymore. But remember, don't go too far."
Only Xia Huna and Shen Yu, the young couple, remained in the infirmary. They looked at each other and smiled.
