"It's all up to Lord Leo!"
From the information in his mind, Kuro knew that he could let Leo help him choose a Pokémon.
Knowing only a little about Pokémon, he immediately chose to let Leo decide.
Leo, not surprised by this, smiled and agreed:
"Okay, then I'll help you take a look..."
"Thank you!"
Kuro breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Leo had begun to look at him carefully, he fell silent.
After waiting for a while, Leo finally spoke again, smiling:
"I found one suitable for you."
Snap!
With a snap of his fingers, a flat Rotom mysteriously appeared in front of Kuro.
Leo explained:
"Although your arm strength is extraordinary, your unique acceleration technique is your specialty for survival..."
"Plus, your body is as flexible as a wildcat. I think you are very suitable for this Pokémon!" As soon as Leo's voice fell, the screen of the flat Rotom displayed a picture of a Pokémon with detailed information.
This kitten, with an elegant curvy body, sat on the ground, showing a sweet devil-like smile. A purple hook-shaped tail swayed behind it nimbly, looking very charming.
[Pokémon: Purrloin]
[Gender: ♂]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Ability: Lightweight (speed doubles when not holding an item)]
[Level: 15]
[Price: 400 points]
"Purrloin?"
Looking at the kitten with purple fur and large white spots on the screen, Kuro's eyes immediately became curious.
Although he couldn't understand any of the information on the screen, the cunning look in the dark green eyes of the Purrloin immediately convinced him...
This is definitely the Pokémon that best matches his personality!
"Lord Leo, I want this Pokémon!"
Kuro decided immediately.
Just by taking a look, Kuro knew that this Pokémon's IQ was definitely not weak and it had a cunning temperament!
Such a Pokémon was very suitable for someone like him who was good at using conspiracy and trickery!
"I'm glad you made this choice."
Leo smiled silently. With a wave of his hand, he exchanged the Purrloin from the system and put it into a Poké Ball.
This Pokémon had neither high nor low talent. Without additional resources, its highest level could only reach 50.
In other words, even if the Purrloin evolved into a Cool Liepard and grew to its highest level, its strength would only be on par with pirates with bounties of 200-300 million on the Grand Line.
But this level was already an unattainable existence for Kuro now!
Kuro took the Poké Ball from Leo's hand, holding it as if he had found a treasure.
Before he could let the Purrloin out to see its true form, Leo took out a Rotom Phone from somewhere again, gestured to Kuro, and said with a smile:
"Captain Kuro, I have more good news for you."
"Because your points have exceeded 200, you have successfully upgraded to a VIP level 1 member trader..."
"You are now eligible to rent a Rotom Phone."
Leo tapped it lightly, and the Rotom Phone immediately opened its two bright eyes, curiously looking around.
Leo continued to introduce:
"Rotom Phone is a magical artificial Pokémon."
"Although it does not have combat capabilities, you can better understand your Pokémon through the Rotom Phone..."
"In addition, the Rotom Phone also has basic information query functions, mall functions, and call functions."
"You can use it to learn more about Pokémon, place pre-orders in the mall, or contact me through the call function..."
"In short, it is a very versatile auxiliary Pokémon. The rental fee is 1 point per day. It is definitely a must-have Pokémon for any journey~"
Leo, once again turning into a salesman, spoke sincerely, frantically selling this product to Kuro.
"This..."
After listening to Leo's introduction, Kuro's expression was stunned, but he quickly became interested.
The opportunity to communicate with the great dimensional businessman alone was worth the cost!
One point a day equaled 500,000 Baileys, which is 15 million Baileys a month.
If it were in the past, 15 million Baileys would not have been a small amount for him.
But after obtaining a Pokémon, he believed that this would not be difficult to afford!
Not to mention, he still had 40 points!
Enough for two months of rental fees!
Two months was enough for him to accomplish a lot!
"Lord Leo, I want to rent a Rotom Phone!"
Kuro answered quickly, as if Leo would regret it if he was a second late.
"Hahaha." Leo laughed happily, "A wise decision!"
Rotom Phone slowly flew in front of Kuro and made a mechanical sound with a little dexterity:
"Hello, Captain Kuro, I will be your Rotom Phone for the next period of time! Please take care of me!"
"Please...please take care of me!"
Kuro was obviously a little surprised by the familiar self-introduction of the Rotom Phone.
But looking at the flying Pokémon in front of him, he was even more looking forward to seeing his Pokémon, Purrloin.
"Since the deal is done, I will be leaving now." Leo's voice came again.
Kuro was stunned and was about to say a few nice words to be polite.
But considering that Leo had been waiting for him for a long time, he thought it would be better to be tactful.
He quickly tidied up his messy clothes, ignored the pain in his arm, and performed a noble salute.
"I'm really sorry for delaying you, Lord Leo."
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity and for taking up so much of your time!"
"No need to do that."
Leo smiled and waved his hand:
"It's just a fair deal between us, no need to thank me."
"But," Leo suddenly lowered his voice, his tone becoming dull.
Hearing this familiar tone, Kuro's heart tightened immediately.
In a trance, his vision became blurred again, as if he saw the bright and shining god and demon again.
The sound came from all directions, like a wave.
"Since I have entrusted the Purrloin to you with confidence, I hope you can make good use of its power and become an excellent trader."
"I... understand!!!"
Under the mighty divine power, Kuro replied tremblingly.
"Good bye."
After hearing the last words, all the pressure instantly dissipated.
Cold sweat soaked Kuro's back. He carefully raised his head and found that there was no one in front of him.
But the divine power just now stayed in the depths of his heart forever.
For a moment, the forest became quiet again.
...
...
After a while, Kuro came back to his senses from Leo's illusion.
He recalled Leo's last words, tightly grasped the Poké Ball in his hand, and made a resolution...
From today on, he would work hard for the transaction!
Frightened, Kuro no longer had the mood to see his Pokémon. He was ready to recuperate and meet his Pokémon with his best side.
But before that...
Kuro took out a small Den Den Mushi from his pocket, and his eyes flashed with determination.
"The captain of the Black Cat Pirates, Kuro of Hundred Plans, is coming back!"
