"Surprisingly cute."
Lin Sheng adjusted his glasses, trying to get a clearer look at Larvitar.
Its body was mostly a rocky, gray-green skin, topped with a long, blunt horn. Its red eyes, short arms, and a red scaled plate covering its belly gave it an interesting appearance. Beneath its eyes was a dark mark, resembling a tear stain.
"The skin has a nice texture." Gently stroking Larvitar's head, Chen Yun commented, feeling the roughness on his palm.
"Larvitar is a Rock-type Pokémon. They typically live underground in caves or mountainous areas, so their skin naturally isn't smooth."
"And once they evolve, their final form is covered in a tough, armor-like shell, making them resemble a moving tank."
Gu Xin smiled as he explained. While Larvitar might look adorable, it was definitely not just a cute creature.
A tank?
Lin Sheng stared at the small Larvitar, speechless. So impressive!
It seemed like he remembered something, so Lin Sheng pulled out his Pokédex and aimed it at Larvitar.
Beep~ Larvitar, Rock/Ground-type, Rock Skin Pokémon
Ability: Guts
Moves: Tackle, Rock Slide, Scary Face, Dragon Dance, Stomp
Born deep underground, it feeds on dirt, and after devouring an entire mountain, it falls asleep to grow.
The mechanical, synthesized voice of the Pokédex echoed in their ears.
Wow!
Lin Sheng was stunned!
Five moves?! This was the most moves any Pokémon had shown so far, except for Diancie, the fully evolved powerhouse.
And the Pokédex entry? Eating a whole mountain?
"Two inherited moves awakened, and one of them is Dragon Dance. This Larvitar is truly exceptional," Gu Xin raised an eyebrow, impressed that this Larvitar had already awakened two inherited skills.
"Boss, is it really true that it eats dirt?"
Chen Yun, though not very knowledgeable, understood that Larvitar, with its five moves, was clearly a powerful Pokémon!
"Well, it's not entirely accurate to say it eats dirt. Larvitar has an extremely strong appetite, and it requires a lot of nutrients to grow."
"In the wild, Larvitar usually survives by eating dirt, though it's not really eating dirt. It's absorbing the nutrients from the soil to grow quickly."
"As for the mountain-eating story, it's a true example. So, Mr. Chen, you'd better be prepared—this little guy is a big eater."
Gu Xin teased Chen Yun. Larvitar's appetite was indeed one of the largest among all Pokémon.
After all, to evolve into Tyranitar, it would need an enormous amount of nutrition.
As everyone knows, although Legendary-like Pokémon are very strong when fully evolved, their growth process requires significantly more resources and time compared to other Pokémon.
"You don't have to worry about that, Boss. I'll make sure Larvitar is well taken care of."
Chen Yun smiled casually, exuding confidence and composure.
Of course! The young master Chen wouldn't let his precious Pokémon go hungry!
That's right. Larvitar was going to be his treasure from now on!
Ding-ling~
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"Welcome, oh?"
Gu Xin apologized to Chen Yun and Lin Sheng, then went to greet the door. But as soon as he opened it, two familiar figures appeared.
It was...
"Miss Chu, why are you looking at me like that?"
Gu Xin blinked, looking at Chu Kelian, who appeared both shy and angry, somewhat confused.
Chen Yun glanced at the door and immediately recognized the girl from the video last night. He turned back to continue bonding with Larvitar.
"Boss! You've gone too far! You've ruined my image!"
"You're referring to the video, right?"
Gu Xin blinked, then realized what was going on.
"But I asked for your permission before posting it. You said it was fine," he explained innocently.
Yes, before posting the video, he had asked for both Chu Kelian's and Lin Sheng's consent. Once they agreed, he went ahead. Otherwise, he would've blurred their faces.
Lin Sheng had no objections, and at the time, Chu Kelian, who was euphoric over getting Charmander and Trapinch, didn't think too much of it. She had generously allowed Gu Xin to post it.
But she hadn't expected that her behavior at the time might have seemed, well, a little "low-key."
"How cunning! Boss, you've really broken my heart. I trusted you so much!"
"Er... Miss Chu, don't say that. People might misunderstand."
"I don't care! Boss, you deceived such a pure and innocent university student!"
"..."
Not wanting to listen to her friend complain, Bai Qianqian rolled her eyes and walked over to Lin Sheng with her Pokédex.
Beep~ Larvitar...
As the Pokédex recorded Larvitar's data, Bai Qianqian curiously observed the little green dinosaur.
"Sounds pretty impressive in the Pokédex, right? It can even eat a whole mountain. Is that for real?"
At some point, Chu Kelian had joined her, also using her Pokédex to record Larvitar, sounding skeptical.
After all, Larvitar looked about the same size as her Charmander. How could it possibly eat an entire mountain?
"Larvitar is a near-Legendary Pokémon. It's really strong," Lin Sheng said, jealousy dripping from his voice.
His cousin was just so lucky!
"A near-Legendary Pokémon?" Chu Kelian blinked in confusion, exchanging a glance with Bai Qianqian.
"What's that?"
"Well, it's a Pokémon just below Legendary status. They..."
Lin Sheng hesitated, trying to recall what the boss had explained earlier. But he found it hard to put into words.
"???" Chu Kelian looked even more confused.
"To put it simply, this Larvitar is worth 60 million."
Having no other way to explain, Lin Sheng bluntly responded.
Wasn't that enough?
Sixty million summed it all up, considering both Chu Kelian and Bai Qianqian were "regular" customers.
Gu Xin remained silent. Though it was blunt, it was straightforward and made Larvitar's worth perfectly clear.
"What did you say???"
Chu Kelian stared at Lin Sheng in disbelief, while Bai Qianqian was equally stunned.
Sixty million?
