Pokémon House.
"Sigh~"
After sending away another customer who was put off by the price, Alex shook his head helplessly.
This customer had drawn a Growlithe. Although he said he liked Growlithe's cute and friendly personality, the price of $300,000 scared him away...
"It's already eight o'clock; it's almost time to close."
Alex glanced at his watch; it was already eight in the evening.
After locking the door of Pokémon House, Alex returned to the front desk.
"Basic knowledge of attributes, abilities, evolution, Poké Balls, breeding... and battle details?"
Alex continued typing on the keyboard, recalling all the basic information about Pokémon he could remember.
He's planning to create a Pokémon Rookie Guide to distribute to customers who purchase Pokémon, so they can learn on their own.
In case they don't know anything, they won't have to ask him every little detail. He's not tired of this kind of work, but it can be quite tedious.
"Items... Well, I should include them too, since they'll be relevant in the future."
Pokémon items are indeed important in a Trainer's career. Strictly speaking, Poké Balls can also be classified as Pokémon items.
There are also Fire Stones, Thunder Stones, Potions, etc., which will surely be needed in the future.
"Alex, take a break with a cup of tea?"
Diancie came over with tea and said with concern to Alex.
"Thank you, my little princess is so thoughtful."
Alex took the tea and teased Diancie.
"Alex, don't make fun of me." Diancie covered her face shyly, princess or something...
...
Lin Sheng's house.
"This is the pet you bought today?"
A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked strangely at the Vulpix fox lying comfortably on the cushion.
A fox with six tails...
If he hadn't touched it with his hand just now, the young man would have thought he was hallucinating.
"Yeah, cousin, and Vulpix is amazing! I even commanded it to win against Charmander today!"
Lin Sheng pushed up his glasses with a proud look on his face.
"Charmander?" Chen Yun twitched the corners of his mouth. He felt that his cousin might be having trouble distinguishing reality from games all day long.
Well, a fox with six tails is amazing, but there are so many weird things in this world.
Gene mutation, although the probability is very low, does exist.
But what the heck is Charmander?
"Cousin, don't believe it? It's true, look at this!"
Seeing his cousin's expression, Lin Sheng instantly knew what Chen Yun was thinking.
He quickly opened the computer browser to the video-sharing site and pulled up a video.
"What?" Chen Yun looked over.
The title of the video was 'Epic Fight Between Two Heavyweight Trainers!'
Trainer?
Chen Yun raised his eyebrows, wondering what this was all about.
The video started in a room.
'I'm here, Miss! I'll be your rival!'
'I play games professionally, and my Vulpix will be fine too!'
The young male voice sounded abruptly, strong and firm.
Hearing this voice, Chen Yun glanced strangely at Lin Sheng, recognizing it as his cousin's voice.
"Cough cough... that's not the point, cousin, keep watching." Lin Sheng coughed twice in embarrassment.
Geez!
I didn't think it was anything at the time, but now from an outside perspective, why did I say something as clichéd as 'I'll be your rival'?
The corners of Chen Yun's mouth raised slightly as he continued to watch the video.
"Okay, come on, my Charmander won't lose to a fox!"
In the video, after Lin Sheng's words, a confident female voice immediately retorted.
The camera turned to show a spacious environment.
And the protagonist of the voice just now really entered the camera: Lin Sheng, the boy with glasses, and the girl opposite him, who was dressed youthfully and beautifully.
And, of course, Charmander and Vulpix beside them!
"Is that what you call Charmander?"
Chen Yun's eyes flickered on Charmander, and he asked Lin Sheng with interest.
"Yeah, but it's nowhere near my Vulpix!"
Lin Sheng nodded and then boasted about his Vulpix.
Charmander? What if it becomes a dragon in the future? What a joke!
My little fox will become a Ninetales!
Chen Yun touched his chin and didn't continue to speak, but he was curious about the follow-up development.
What are these two going to do?
With a charismatic male voice in the camera, the rules of the battle were announced.
In the video, the beautiful girl took out a Pokédex to check Charmander's moves because she was not well prepared.
And taking this opportunity, Lin Sheng asked Vulpix to attack first.
"What the heck?"
Under Chen Yun's shocked expression, the Vulpix spat small fireballs at Charmander in the video.
Eruption!
It actually erupted!
"Lin, is this video real?"
Chen Yun subconsciously looked at the little fox Vulpix lying asleep on the cushion and asked Lin Sheng in disbelief.
"Of course it's real. The boss asked Diancie to record it live. Cousin, I'll say my Vulpix is very good, right?"
Lin Sheng was very proud and replied confidently.
My Vulpix! Invincible!
Chen Yun's heart was racing; this wasn't just powerful, it was outrageous!
"Cousin, don't worry. Watch the video first, and see my heroic prowess!"
Knowing that Chen Yun must be shocked now, Lin Sheng calmly pushed his glasses and encouraged Chen Yun to keep watching.
Look at your startled mouth that can't close; can't you calm down?
What is Diancie?
Chen Yun was very puzzled, but he pressed his curiosity and continued to watch.
