Xiangling was disappointed that she didn't get the dog. She could only stare longingly at the spot on the counter where the Growlithe had been drinking Moomoo Milk before Hiroshi took it away.
"Hmph, our Gible will always be the strongest and cutest!"
"I would like to be called the Cutest Person in the World!!"
As the owner of a Pseudo-Legendary, Hu Tao was very confident. She squatted down and rubbed the head of the baby Gible that was following closely behind her.
"Gib~! (That's right!)"
Gible raised its head and puffed out its chest, trying to look imposing.
Hiroshi glanced at Hu Tao.
"Speaking of which, didn't your Gible cause trouble this morning?"
Hu Tao helplessly told the cause and effect of the incident, including the collapsed wall and the terrified neighbors.
Hiroshi was speechless.
"Director Hu, haven't you read the Novice Trainer's Instruction Manual?"
"It's written on the very first page of the manual!"
"'Be very careful when training Pokémon in villages, towns, or cities.'"
"Either you have a mine and a massive yard at home, or you have a special training ground, or you simply go to the wild!"
"...By the way, our store has just launched a 'Trainer's Club' business, providing professional training rooms. You can use them unlimitedly with a membership card!"
Hearing this, Hu Tao was very interested in the professional training facilities of the Pokémon Home.
"Then the Boss will apply for a card for me! I can't keep paying for neighbor's walls!"
On the other side.
After a long while, Xiangling forced herself to look away and pay attention to the main purpose of her visit. Hiroshi had returned from the breeding room after tucking the sleeping Growlithe in for Captain Hongyi.
When Hiroshi returned to the counter, Xiangling slammed her hands on the surface and said eagerly:
"Store Manager, Store Manager!"
"I also want to draw my first Pokémon!"
Hiroshi smiled. Next, it was time to secure a big customer.
Xiangling's family owns the Wanmin Restaurant, and she has excellent cooking skills. The master who taught her cooking is Madame Ping, one of the Adepti of Liyue.
She is not just from a wealthy family; she is a major player with deep connections.
Tactical maneuver time!
"Cresselia, bring me a blank Pokédex." Hiroshi didn't want to walk to the back again, so he turned around and shouted toward the inner sanctum of the house.
"Another floating one," Zekrom's voice grumbled from the shadows of the ceiling, causing Xiangling to jump. "Do you humans have no legs?"
Before the girls could question the disembodied dragon voice, the Goddess of Dreams appeared.
Soon, the whole body of the Dream God floated out, appearing in a very stunning posture.
Her main body was like a swan carved from exquisite blue glass. The crescent shape on her head represented that she was the incarnation of the crescent moon. Many aurora-colored bright planetary rings surrounded her body, glowing with soft light.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of Hu Tao and Xiangling, she separated a blank Pokédex from a stack on the shelf with her telekinesis and floated it through the air.
It passed gently into Hiroshi's hands.
"This... this..."
Xiangling was so stunned that she couldn't say a word.
Hu Tao was equally dazzled.
Worthy of being the God of Dreams, with a sapphire-like swan body and brilliant planetary rings surrounding it, plus the fact that it is the incarnation of the crescent moon, it naturally had an elegant and noble temperament like a celestial maiden.
"Wow!"
The two of them scrambled to surround Cresselia, who looked slightly confused by their enthusiasm.
"You two guests..."
A pleasant, gentle, but doubtful voice sounded directly in the hearts of Hu Tao and Xiangling.
Their reactions were even more interesting.
Shocked, confused, at a loss.
"The voice just now was..."
"It's me."
As a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon, Cresselia's daily actions involved floating and telepathy, so she didn't find anything strange about it. She blinked her gem-like eyes at the two girls.
"I am Hiroshi's Pokémon."
"He is also one of the store clerks. I assist him."
Hiroshi walked over with the blank Pokédex and was about to hand it to Xiangling to start the process of extracting the initial Pokémon.
Hu Tao suddenly shouted excitedly:
"Manager Hiroshi! Do you want to sell this Pokémon?!"
"I am willing to spend 500 million Mora to buy it!"
There was quite a firmness and passion in her tone; she was determined to win.
"Gib~?"
At Hu Tao's feet, Gible couldn't help but tilt its little head, confusion swirling in its eyes.
The Hostess had just praised me as the cutest little boy in the world.
Just change your mind if you say you have changed your mind?
Okay, this is human beings!
The baby Gible learned a valuable life lesson about betrayal for the first time.
Hiroshi: ...
"Five hundred million?" Zekrom's laughter shook the display cases. "Foolish girl. You offer copper coins for a god? Even I am insulted on her behalf."
"Sorry," Hiroshi interjected before Zekrom could say something ruder. "Cresselia is not only not for sale, but also priceless."
Hu Tao wisely shut her mouth. She heard Hiroshi's unquestionable attitude.
"But..."
"A Pokémon that can communicate mentally!"
Hu Tao circled around Cresselia, wanting to touch her, but the unique and sacred temperament radiating from the Dream God made her hesitate. She didn't dare to touch.
The cautious look was too rare for the eccentric Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
"Let's put it this way, Cresselia is an extremely special existence."
Hiroshi saw that she still had some small thoughts of acquisition, and immediately shrugged to dispel them.
"She is a Legendary Pokémon."
"So..."
"Would you wave your Mora deposit certificate at a Liyue Adeptus in their beast form—like Moon Carver or Cloud Retainer—and say you want to buy them as a pet?"
Hearing this, Hu Tao was so frightened that she shook her head violently, her pigtails whipping around.
"If I had that kind of attitude towards a Liyue Adeptus, I would probably be beaten to death on the spot!"
Speaking of this, Hu Tao suddenly remembered something. She hurriedly took out her white-shelled Pokédex and pointed the lens at Cresselia.
Beep!
[Cresselia (Legendary Pokémon)]
[Attribute: Psychic]
[Ability: Levitate]
[Level: Second-Class God (Lv. 119)]
[Skills: Confusion, Double Team, Mist, Aurora Beam, Psybeam, Psycho Shift, Psycho Cut, Psychic, Future Sight...]
[Description: It is said that if you sleep holding Cresselia's feather, you will have sweet dreams. Known as the incarnation of the crescent moon.]
The Pokédex made a mechanical electronic sound as it read out the data.
Just for the skill bar, the mechanical voice chanted for several minutes.
After listening to all the information introduction, Xiangling and Hu Tao were completely stunned. They looked at the friendly Legendary Pokémon so close to them, but some kind of primal fear had already begun to grow in their eyes.
Gulp~~!!
The sound of swallowing saliva was audible.
It couldn't be helped.
This was a kind of instinctive respect for the strongest.
In the Pokédex, it was written clearly——
[Second-Class God]!
Even if they didn't quite understand how the divine levels of Legendary Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon were divided by the System...
It was somewhat unclear.
But seeing what came next—[Lv. 119]—this level being displayed was terrifying.
Hu Tao and Xiangling looked at each other in shock.
Confirmed by their eyes.
This is a Super Boss!!
