Shopping Sprees, Summons, and Absolute Chaos Incoming
The Runcandel mansion was unusually lively when Alex returned.
"Welcome back," Evelyn said with a smile.
"Back already?" Victor added, already standing up like he was inspecting a battlefield.
Alex greeted everyone first—priorities mattered—then casually took out a Poké Ball.
"Here. This is my beginner Pokémon."
Flash.
A small Aron appeared, blinking curiously at its surroundings.
For half a second, the room was quiet.
Then—
Darius nodded approvingly.
"Good choice."
He didn't waste time.
"Come out, old friend."
BOOM.
A massive Aggron materialized, its steel body radiating pressure.
The Aron froze.
Aggron looked down.
Then snorted.
Darius crossed his arms.
"Train your moves. Teach it properly."
Aggron nodded once.
Aron's eyes sparkled like it had just found a lifelong goal.
Alex smiled.
Champion grandpa privilege is truly terrifying.
Business Before Bed
Alex turned to Evelyn.
"Mom, about that company…"
She waved her hand.
"I already prepared a building. Downtown. Best location."
Alex paused.
"…That fast?"
Evelyn smiled sweetly.
"When my son wants something, I don't ask questions."
Then she tilted her head.
"What kind of company are you making?"
Alex thought for a second.
"I'll explain tomorrow."
No one pressed him.
Everyone just nodded like that was the most reasonable answer in the world.
Alex then added, "Also—please transfer Chris to my company."
Evelyn looked at Chris.
Chris nodded immediately.
"I'll move tomorrow."
Decision made. No discussion. Runcandel efficiency.
System Store Madness
Later that night, Alex locked himself in his room and opened the system store.
He didn't hesitate.
🎬 Movie scripts 💄 High-end cosmetics recipes 🍖 Pokéblock (high-grade) formulas 🧪 Potion formulas 🤖 AI Assistant: Red Queen

Alex leaned back.
"…This feels like cheating."
Then he looked at the five summon tickets still sitting there.
He went quiet.
Hands together.
"Leon… I'm sacrificing your next 50 years of love life."
The system did not respond.
Reality probably flinched.
"Summon."
The Summons That Will Break Reality
One by one, names appeared:
Ningguang Raiden Shogun Bayonetta Gamma Zeta
Alex stared.
Silence.
"…I'm dead."
He pinched the bridge of his nose.
"How am I supposed to explain this?"
System Notice:
Host does not need to worry.
Background creation in progress…
Alex blinked.
System Notice:
Background creation complete.
Characters will arrive tomorrow afternoon.
Alex exhaled deeply.
"…Thank Arceus."
Unexpected Applications
Knock knock.
"Come in."
Chisato stepped inside, calm but serious.
"Alex," she said, sitting beside him,
"I want to work for your company."
Alex froze.
"…Huh?"
"I'm serious."
After a moment, Alex smiled.
"Alright. You're in."
Before he could say anything else—
Knock.
Grayfia entered.
She sat gracefully and said, without hesitation:
"I wish to be your personal maid."
Alex stared.
"…That was direct."
Grayfia smiled faintly.
"I don't waste time."
Alex nodded.
"Accepted."
The next thing he knew—
Both women hugged him.
Then kissed his cheeks.
"…This escalated quickly," Alex muttered.
That night—
Alex slept in the middle.
Chisato on one side.
Grayfia on the other.
For once—
No nightmares.
No calculations.
No future worries.
Just warmth.
Somewhere far away—
Leon Ashford was still pushing Torchic past its limits.
And tomorrow—
Five dangerous women were about to enter Alex Runcandel's life.
The world had no idea what was coming.
