Chapter 9 - ch9

"Wow, so beautiful!"

Hannah's eyes were captivated by Diancie's stunning diamonds and lovely face, especially since she was wearing a white dress.

Wow!

Diancie was startled by Hannah's intense gaze, so she jumped back a couple of times to keep a distance, blinking at Hannah with curiosity.

"Boss! Is this also one of your store's pets?" Hannah quickly asked Alex, who had come over.

Lily, too, was looking at Diancie in amazement.

"Yes, this is my buddy Diancie, but she's not for sale."

Alex smiled, knowing that people often found it hard to resist beautiful things, especially a Diancie who could dance.

"Really not? I'm sure we could negotiate a price..."

"Miss, don't bother asking. Diancie's been offered five million already, but the boss didn't even entertain the discussion."

Before Hannah could finish her offer, Ethan, who was nearby, casually informed her.

Indeed, under Alex's top comment on his video, many offers to buy Diancie had been made.

Someone had even offered five million before Ethan visited the pet store.

Diancie's appearance was too stunning, not to mention her dancing skills!

"Five million isn't much, but Boss, are you really unwilling to sell?"

Hannah pouted slightly, asking Alex.

She clearly wasn't concerned about the five million, and her demeanor showed she was serious.

Ethan looked at Hannah in astonishment. Wow, she must be really wealthy!

"I wouldn't sell her for anything. Diancie is priceless to me and part of my family."

Alex smiled and refused. It wasn't just about the money; Diancie was irreplaceable.

Joking aside, tens of millions wouldn't be enough to purchase Diancie.

"That's a pity."

Hannah said, genuinely impressed by Diancie's beauty.

"Boss, what about this little fox?"

But then Hannah's eyes lit up again as she pointed at Vulpix, who was lying on the table and yawning.

Such a cute little fox with six tails!

"Sorry, Vulpix is mine!"

Ethan's expression became tense. He quickly picked up the sleepy Vulpix, asserting his ownership to Hannah. He had already arranged the funds with his cousin.

"By the way, boss, let me have your payment code."

Ethan said to Alex, eager to finalize the purchase.

"Heh~ I'd fight you for it if I could."

Hannah teased, rolling her eyes. This young man was quite determined.

"Okay, Diancie, could you bring over the receipt code?"

Alex asked Diancie, while also noting Hannah's interest. She seemed like a big potential customer!

As expected of Lily's friend, she was also very affluent.

"Are you also interested in buying a pet?"

"Yes, boss, do you have more?"

Hannah nodded, even more intrigued after seeing Diancie and Vulpix.

"Of course! Let's start with a draw. Since you're a friend of Lily's, you probably know the process."

Alex handed the store's Pokédex to Hannah.

"I do, but boss, none of your pets are ugly, right?"

Hannah took the Pokédex and asked Alex with a playful blink.

"I can't guarantee that, as everyone's taste is different, but I assure you that all our pets are unique."

Alex paused for a moment, then replied thoughtfully.

After all, he didn't know what Hannah might draw.

"But we are a business, and we aim to satisfy our customers."

"So if you draw a Pokémon you're not fond of, you can pay to draw again, though I personally advise against it."

Alex smiled as he continued.

"That's fair enough."

Hannah said with a smile on her delicate face. She was ready to draw multiple times if necessary. Money was no object for her.

Indeed, she was a legendary "money warrior"!

"Alright~ Give me some good luck!"

Hannah stared at the Pokédex in her hand and pressed 'go,' saying something that made Lily cover her face with a grin.

Ethan, who had just scanned the QR code handed over by Diancie and completed his purchase, also watched with curiosity, wondering what this affluent young woman might draw.

The shadows flashed across the screen and finally settled.

"Huh? What's this, a little lizard?"

Hannah blinked and looked at Alex, who was helping Ethan with the energy cubes.

"Boss, can you tell me what I got?"

Alex raised an eyebrow and walked over.

"Wow, you have great luck! That's Charmander."

Alex glanced at Hannah and expressed his amazement. Two of the iconic Pokémon starters in one day!

"Fire dragon?!"

Hannah's eyes lit up with excitement. A dragon?

Ethan and Lily were equally shocked.

"Emmm, it's not exactly what you're thinking, but its name is Charmander, which is close enough…"

Alex paused, realizing his explanation might have been misleading.

Although Charmander and its evolution, Charizard, aren't Dragon Type Pokémon, Charizard does resemble a Western dragon in appearance.

Moreover, Charizard's Mega Evolution in its X form is a Dragon Type.

"In terms of appearance, Charmander will definitely look like a dragon when it grows up."

After a moment of hesitation, Alex confirmed.

"Boss, you're not tricking us, are you? Are there really dragons?"

Lily asked in surprise. Dragons?

In this world, dragons were mythical creatures.

"It's not the dragon from Eastern mythology, but more like a Western dragon."

"Our store is honest and doesn't engage in false advertising. What I sell here are Pokémon, not ordinary pets."

Alex calmly replied to Lily's skepticism.

After all, the concept of dragons is legendary, and it's natural for people to have doubts.

If Alex posted a video claiming Charmander would evolve into a Western-style dragon, people might think he was crazy.

But Alex remained calm, knowing that the truth would reveal itself when Charizard appeared.
