"Our store has only been open for a few days, so there aren't that many customers yet. But if you want to battle, you can always arrange it with them."
"The backyard of the store is a free battle arena, but if you're battling outside, please pick a safe location."
"Also, Pokémon moves tend to leave marks on the battlefield. If you're battling in a public place, make sure to handle the cleanup afterward."
Gu Xin reminded Ruan Xinyi with a smile. Although the Pokémon owned by current customers weren't particularly strong, the damage they could cause was still noticeable.
It wasn't a big deal if you were battling at home, but in public areas, caution was essential.
"Got it~!"
Ruan Xinyi replied with a playful smile.
She then glanced at the chat group on her phone and decided to take a photo of Bulbasaur happily munching on an Energy Cube.
Birdie:
"New member reporting in! Please take care of me, everyone~ Tea for the pros. 🫖"
It's a Male Vulpix?!
"Show us your Pokémon, newbie!"
Birdie:
"Ehhh~ Here's mine. It's a Bulbasaur!"
Campus Queen:
"Wow~ It looks so adorable! And it's green! What type is it?"
Birdie:
"The Pokédex says it's Grass and Poison type."
Larvitar Is Not a Foodie:
"A green so full of life… but it's poisonous too? That's just sneaky!"
Pretty Since Birth:
"Huh? Yun, how are you replying so quickly? Isn't Larvitar wreaking havoc anymore?"
Larvitar Is Not a Foodie:
"Ugh, don't remind me. This brat just took another bite out of my brand-new desk. 😭😭"
Larvitar Is Not a Foodie:
(Photo) (Video)
It's a Male Vulpix?!
"Hahaha, this is killing me! Cousin, you're finally getting a taste of your own medicine!"
Campus Queen:
"Larvitar is so cute! Yun, how do you tolerate such a destructive Larvitar? You should sell it to me!"
Larvitar Is Not a Foodie:
"Keep dreaming."
"Pfft—"
Ruan Xinyi couldn't help but burst out laughing at the photos posted by Larvitar Is Not a Foodie.
A sleek, professional-looking desk now had its corners riddled with tiny tooth marks.
She also noticed the video of the Pokémon called Larvitar, which appeared to have been recorded by someone else.
In the video, a sharply dressed young man was pointing at the bite marks on his new desk and lecturing Larvitar with a mix of frustration and helplessness.
Meanwhile, Larvitar sat obediently on the floor, nodding with an innocent expression that screamed, I've learned my lesson!
"So cute!"
Ruan Xinyi thought to herself as she watched the scene.
However, the camera angle then panned to another corner of the office, revealing a completely wrecked desk. Judging by the tooth marks, it was clearly Larvitar's masterpiece.
What the heck?
"Boss, Bulbasaur won't wreck my house, right?"
Seeing the destroyed desk, Ruan Xinyi panicked, turning to Gu Xin, who was also watching the video.
This was on a whole other level from a hyperactive husky! If Bulbasaur was like this too, her dad would absolutely flip!
"Huh? No, no, Bulbasaur has a very gentle temperament. Pokémon like Larvitar, who are energetic and love to chew, are in the minority."
Gu Xin blinked and reassured her with a smile.
"Phew, that's a relief."
Ruan Xinyi patted her chest in relief. Good thing Bulbasaur wasn't like that.
"Oh, by the way, miss, here's a special gift. Since you're one of our first ten customers, this is a Memorial Ball as a token of appreciation for supporting our store."
Gu Xin suddenly remembered and retrieved two Memorial Balls from the front desk, handing them to her.
"What's this?"
Ruan Xinyi asked, puzzled.
"This is a Poké Ball, a must-have item for capturing Pokémon. Only by capturing Bulbasaur will it officially belong to you."
"Just throw the Memorial Ball at Bulbasaur."
Following Gu Xin's instructions, Ruan Xinyi tossed the Memorial Ball at Bulbasaur.
To her shock, Bulbasaur transformed into a beam of red light and was absorbed into the ball, which then landed on the ground and stilled.
"What… what just happened?!"
Staring wide-eyed at the now-quiet Memorial Ball, Ruan Xinyi was utterly bewildered.
As if these magical creatures weren't surprising enough, now the store was casually flaunting space-folding technology?! This was beyond ridiculous!
Next to her, Ruan Youxiu was completely stunned, staring blankly at the ball on the ground.
"This is hard to explain, and even if I did, you wouldn't understand."
Gu Xin shook his head, unwilling to dive into the origins of the Memorial Ball.
Anyway, the group chat had already collectively decided he was an alien, thanks to Bai Qianqian's theories.
Even if he explained, they wouldn't believe him. Fortunately, thanks to the system's subtle influence, none of them seemed to care too much about his "identity."
As long as he wasn't dangerous, it didn't matter, right?
Ruan Xinyi: "…"
Fine, maybe I wouldn't understand, but do you have to look so condescending about it?!
She glared at Gu Xin, cheeks puffed with indignation.
"One of the functions of a Poké Ball is to allow Trainers to carry their Pokémon with them conveniently. I'm sure you'll find it very useful."
Gu Xin ignored her glare, keeping his friendly smile.
"That's right! If I have this, my dad won't even notice Bulbasaur!"
Ruan Xinyi's face lit up as she picked up the Memorial Ball and released Bulbasaur again. Excitement sparkled in her eyes.
With a Poké Ball that could store and release Bulbasaur anytime, her dad would have a much harder time discovering she owned a pet!
"Boss! I want to draw a Pokémon too!"
Seeing how practical the Poké Ball was, Ruan Youxiu couldn't hold back any longer. He straightened up and declared seriously to Gu Xin.
His scatterbrained sister was actually onto something. With a Poké Ball ensuring the Pokémon's "safety," what was there to worry about?
If that was the case, why not go for it?
