"Wow, Zachery, you got a Phanpy!" Jerry exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention to the adorable Pokémon. Zachery's face beamed with happiness, clearly delighted by his new companion.
Arthur, too, was taken aback by the sight of the Phanpy. The unexpected appearance of such a unique and fascinating Pokémon sparked his curiosity and admiration.
The three friends engaged in conversation, sharing their excitement and discussing their newly acquired Pokémon.
The school bell rang, signaling the end of the school day ,as they exited the classroom , their path was intercepted by a familiar figure. The sight of him caused Zachery's expression to contort with displeasure, Jerry appeared visibly tense, and Arthur wore a solemn expression. They knew exactly who it was – Danny Traverse, one of the notorious bullies in their school.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Danny, whose father held a position within a local gang, had always carried an air of pride and superiority. He had clashed with Zachery on numerous occasions, driven by jealousy over Zachery's popularity with girls, including the one Danny himself had feelings for.
"What's your deal, Danny?" Zachery snapped with anger evident in his voice. Danny responded with a smirk, directing his gaze towards Arthur. "How about you exchange your Charcadet for my Pokémon?" he proposed, swiftly releasing his Grimer from its Pokéball.
Arthur's expression turned sour, and he firmly replied, "Not interested." Without giving Danny another glance, he walked past him, determined not to entertain the bully's provocation.
Danny persistently blocked Arthur's path once again, this time tempting him with an offer. "How about I give you 10,000 Pokécoins?" he proposed, a hint of arrogance in his voice. Arthur's anger surged at the audacity of Danny's proposition.
However, Zachery quickly stepped in front of Arthur, his expression filled with displeasure. "Danny, you should be well aware that snatching someone's Pokémon is illegal," Zachery retorted firmly. Danny shrugged off the accusation, smirking as he replied, "I'm just making an offer. When did I snatch his Pokémon?"
Zachery's expression twisted with disgust upon hearing Danny's response. "No, I have no interest in any exchange," Arthur stated resolutely, turning away and continuing on his way. Zachery glared at Danny before swiftly following Arthur and Jerry seeing this quickly went running towards Arthur .
"So what if you have Charcadet? With your circumstances, you'll never be able to evolve it!" Danny jeered, raising his voice and drawing the attention of those nearby. Arthur's expression twisted into one of anger and frustration, for what Danny had said was indeed true. To evolve Charcadet, it required either the Auspicious Armor or the Malicious Armor, both of which were rare and expensive items.
The weight of the situation sank in, leaving Arthur feeling disheartened by the realization that his Pokémon's potential growth might be limited due to his circumstances. Despite his anger, he knew that acquiring any of those specialized items would be a challenging endeavor.
