🎉50 advance chapter in PATREON 🎉
After snagging three red envelopes from the 'most honest child,' Alex ordered two ice creams for himself online.
Well, his own little Diancie baby deserved it.
"Boss, then we're taking our leave. Next time I'll come to borrow the venue."
Quite happy after grabbing three red envelopes, Emily said goodbye to Alex with a smile.
"Why not try a Pokémon battle now?" Alex raised his eyebrows and asked Emily.
"No, no, our father is quite strict. We've been out for over an hour already. It's time to go back and practice calligraphy."
Eric sighed tiredly and regretfully; their father was strict, and his authority was unquestionable.
"Emmm, then I'll look forward to your next visit."
Alex took a close look at the two of them and guessed they were both under 20. Although Eric was more mature in conversation, his youthful face still showed some immaturity.
They must be high school students, right? It's impressive they have time to go out on a Sunday—what a disciplined family.
There aren't many families with such strict discipline these days.
"See you next time, boss."
The siblings said goodbye to Alex, and Alex waved politely as he watched them leave.
"Not bad, good business today!"
Back in the store, Alex counted the number of Pokémon sold that day, smiling at his success.
Fennekin, Larvitar, Feebas, Horsea, and the Bulbasaur and Elekid from the Ruan siblings.
A total of six, with a turnover of nearly $8.7 million.
"Especially..." Alex looked at the system task.
'Sold ten Pokémon, achieved.'
The second stage of the side quest for selling Pokémon had been completed, and he could draw another Pokémon—so exciting!
"System, collect rewards."
Lying on the soft chair, Alex clicked to claim the reward.
"Successful collection. Would you like to proceed with the unlimited prize pool lottery?"
"Draw!"
Alex chose the lottery without hesitation. At the moment, he and Diancie were the only Pokémon in the store. When there were no customers, it felt a bit lonely.
"The draw begins."
The mechanical synth sounds of the system played in Alex's head, and a translucent virtual turntable appeared before his eyes.
"Huh, let's have another legend."
Like the first draw for Diancie, there was a chance to draw Legendary Pokémon in the Unlimited Prize Pool.
Lugia, Mew, Rayquaza, and more.
Not asking for much, but a Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, or Meloetta would be great!
Not only would they add cuteness, but they would also have strong combat abilities!
The speed of the shadow's rotation gradually slowed down and finally settled on a small shadow.
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host, you have drawn Manaphy."
The shadow gradually became clearer, and the synthetic sound of the system reached Alex's ears.
"The host has already conducted two lottery draws. As a reward for the host's diligent work with Pokémon, a random Pokémon egg will be given."
Before Alex could start celebrating, more good news from the system came through.
"Haha~ You're too kind, really. This is what I should be doing, and you're giving me a Pokémon egg."
Alex's face broke into a wide grin, though he tried to maintain a polite tone.
system: "..."
"System, retrieve Pokémon egg and Manaphy."
The system didn't respond, but Alex wasn't surprised at all. He wasn't sure if the system operated strictly on predetermined protocols or if it had its own consciousness.
But Alex didn't care about this at all. He was grateful for the new life and opportunities the system had provided, giving him a whole new meaning of existence.
Honestly, he was very grateful to the system. Otherwise, he would just be an ordinary person.
And as Alex spoke, a Poké Ball and a Pokémon egg appeared before him.
"I can't identify this egg."
Alex held up the white Pokémon egg with hints of green flecks and blinked.
Normally, the surface of a Pokémon egg reflects the color of its Attribute. For instance, fire types are red, and water types are blue.
But there are many that are just normal white with green spots, like the one Alex had, making it challenging to determine the Pokémon's Attribute from the egg alone.
"Forget it, it's a bonus anyway, and products from the system are always top quality. I'll just wait for it to hatch."
Alex placed the Pokémon egg aside, ready to put it in the incubator—a machine given by the system when the store opened.
The system indeed provided a very humane setup. Almost all in-store configurations were provided by the system, and they were very comprehensive.
"And now for Manaphy, come out."
Alex threw the Poké Ball, and with a flash of white light, a small blue Pokémon floated in front of Alex, looking around with big, watery eyes.
Sensing the appearance of a new partner, Diancie, who had been watching anime, also rushed over.
"Mana~"
Manaphy turned to meet Diancie's eyes, letting out a small, curious whimper, its Growl crisp and sweet.
"Hello Manaphy, we'll be family from now on. Let's get along well."
Alex looked at Manaphy and smiled warmly.
"Mana~Mana Mana!"
Manaphy's big eyes lit up, showing an innocent smile to Alex, squinting and nodding.
"It's really cute."
Looking at Manaphy's cute appearance, Alex couldn't help but smile deeper.
Manaphy's appearance is very standard for cuteness. Its body is petite, about 0.4 meters tall, and its entire body is light blue, resembling water.
It has two short arms, an oval head, two blue tentacles like ribbons on top of its head with balls at the ends, and two lines above its eyes connecting two yellow dots.
A very cute little guy.
"This is Diancie and our partner."
"Diancie, this is Manaphy."
Alex introduced the two cuties to each other.
"Mana~" Manaphy floated up to Diancie and greeted it with a crisp and soft Growl.
"Hello~" Diancie blinked and returned the greeting with a healing smile.
Finally, having another friend was great, and they seemed to get along well, making Diancie very happy.
"It's really nice, it's nice, and..."
Seeing Manaphy happily floating around in the store, Alex couldn't help but smile like an aunt.
Not only was Manaphy cute, but also wow!
Most importantly, Manaphy is the only Pokémon that can breed with Ditto!
What does this mean?
In the future, when there's a suitable Ditto, you could have this adorable Manaphy and Ditto pair up!
With Manaphy, isn't it like having Phione too? As for Phione's combat abilities...
Alex didn't want Phione to fight; it was mainly to add charm to the store and sell cuteness.
Imagine, guests entering the store and being greeted by a bunch of cute Phione. Isn't that better than a cat café?
Well, nothing wrong with that, and Manaphy, as a Pokémon, must have a strong physique.
It should be feasible for it to lay ten or eight Phione eggs, right?
Alex pondered this very seriously—how many eggs can a Manaphy lay?
