Chapter 48 - ch47

🎉50 advance chapter in PATREON 🎉

"Please treat this little cutie well; it will surely meet your expectations," Alex said as he handed over a series of items, including the Pokémon Pokédex, energy cubes, and the Rookie Trainer manual, to the boy in front of him. He smiled warmly.

While some people might find bugs and the like unappealing, everyone's tastes are different. That's why there are so many different hobbies in the world.

At least the boy in front of him seemed to like Catterpie.

"Thank you, boss! I'll definitely help Catterpie become a butterfly!"

The boy beamed, gently teasing the Catterpie perched on his shoulder.

And hopefully, it might even become a dragon!

Although the boss mentioned it was just a story, with no verified authenticity, a little hope is better than none, right?

"I believe in you, go for it."

Alex watched the cheerful and warm-hearted boy leave, and of course, he didn't forget to add this real-life version of a bug-catcher to the Pokémon House group chat.

Interestingly, the boy even changed his group nickname to 'It Will Turn Into a Dragon!'

It's a bit unfortunate, as this child might be disappointed in the future.

The legendary notion of Catterpie evolving into Rayquaza was just a joke, but who knew this kid would take it seriously?

Although Catterpie only sold for $6,700, it was still a business transaction, and Alex was pleased.

"Oh, it's time for dinner. The effect of Little Po Station is paying off."

Alex glanced at the sky outside the window; it was already dark, around seven o'clock in the evening.

After the Ruan sisters left, he had received four more guests. One of them came just to check in at the store, saying that pets weren't allowed at home.

Two others were tempted to draw Pokémon but were scared away by the prices.

The last was the boy just now, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his family seemed well-off since his father had given him a card.

The promotional effect of Little Po Station was not bad.

"Mana~Mana~"

When Manaphy saw the guest leave, it flew over and nestled on Alex's shoulder, acting all cute and playful.

It was hungry.

"Okay, little cutie, I'll prepare dinner for you."

Alex gently squeezed Manaphy's cheek, turned, and walked towards the kitchen.

He planned to make some dishes. Although energy cubes were nutritious and tasty for Manaphy and Diancie, it was good to have variety.

The energy cubes could be a nice snack instead.

"Mana~"

"Alex, I'll wash the vegetables for you."

Manaphy twirled around happily, while Diancie hopped into the kitchen, eager to help.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Alex put on his apron and replied with a smile.

...

"The channel you follow has posted a new video."

As soon as Emma opened Little Po Station, the notification popped up.

Emma immediately checked her watch list and saw it was the channel "Pokemon House."

'The Second Round of Pokémon Battle: The Battle of the Goddess and the School Belle!'

"Pfft~ what kind of title is that?"

Emma burst into laughter; the title was too amusing.

But she clicked into the video anyway. It seemed she was a bit late, as the video's popularity was already high.

The video opened with two very beautiful girls. Emma, having watched the previous video, instantly recognized one of them—it was the girl who used Charmander before but was beaten by Vulpix.

But this time, the girl wasn't using Charmander; she had a big-headed ant named Trapinch.

"So cute."

Emma looked at the cheeky Squirtle in front of Claire in the video with admiration. The turtle's posture, standing with its hands on its hips and chest out, was so practiced; it must have been acting cheeky for a long time, right?

But it was so cute!

'Hey~ Claire, I'll teach you a good lesson today.'

Well, the clear voice was the same as the previous video, but this time, Claire didn't lose her temper.

Or...

'Hahaha~ Claire, fate is on my side!'

Emma watched with interest, and to her surprise, this battle was quite exciting.

But as the fight went on, Squirtle eventually slipped up...

"Can it really happen like this?"

Emma almost spat out her water, struggling to contain her laughter at the turtle's mishap, especially with Claire's loud and triumphant laugh.

Emma could imagine how flustered that Squirtle Trainer must have been, and it was true.

'It's so unfair! How can you be so shameless!'

'It's tactics, Claire. After all, your opponent is mine, and this outcome was destined from the start.'

In the video, Claire was extremely proud, flicking her bangs with flair and then delivering the line that would become legendary.

'I am Claire, born to darkness; the way of the Trainer is an endless night~'

Emma wore a bemused expression, subconsciously recalling the girl's rant from the previous video.

Classic! Authentic!

So classic! It's so real!

But it was undeniable that the video was really fun. Emma glanced at the progress bar and saw that the video wasn't even halfway through.

After the first battle between the two beauties ended, the second battle began soon after.

This time it featured two boys, and one was the Trainer who had beaten Claire's Charmander with Vulpix last time.

"Huh? Is that a little dinosaur? And this one's a new fox, too cute."

Upon seeing the boys' Pokémon, Emma's eyes lit up.

The battle started, and surprisingly, it was unusually straightforward and intense. After the Pokémon named Larvitar performed two Dragon Dances, it easily defeated Fennekin in seconds, perfectly showcasing its power and strength.

Then...

'Boss! I want to draw Dratini!'

'You're dreaming. How do you expect to get Dratini with that luck?'

'What do you mean, Claire? What's wrong with my face? My face is so pretty!'

'Hehe~'

'What do you mean, you sly girl! If it weren't for this lady...'

'What's wrong with me sending a few beautiful Hanfu selfies to rally votes?'

'I've had enough of you, you scheming witch!'

'You want to argue today, don't you?'

...

Emma blinked at the two beauties in the video who were bickering.

Live!

"Dratini... so these Pokémon are all drawn from that shop?"

Emma watched the video with interest and noted the introduction of the store manager at the end, her eyes shimmering with curiosity.

She wasn't from the magic city but from Hangzhou. Still, she couldn't deny that she was intrigued by the pet store's unique offerings.

She really wanted these magical pets! But to buy them, she'd have to travel to the magic city.

That wasn't a problem, as Hangzhou wasn't too far from the magic city.

However, she wondered whether the content of these videos was actually shot on location or created with CGI.

Emma hesitated for a moment and decided she'd check it out, but obviously, it couldn't happen today.

She turned to the comment section.

"I'm a college student, and I can confirm it! Claire really is the top school belle! And she definitely wasn't just canvassing for votes! Claire in Hanfu is truly beautiful!"

"What are you talking about again? How is Claire worse than Charlotte? If you ask me, the title of school belle should go to Claire. Claire, full of energy every day, is really good-looking!"

"Two idiots above, is this the point? That Larvitar is too fierce."

"Pure newbie here, is this what goddess drama looks like? It's so scary!"

"Such a good-looking face, yet a comedian's spirit, poor thing."

"I'm Claire, born to darkness; the way of the Trainer is an endless night! How despicable of you to attack my Charmander! Ahhh! Charmander! Catch that sly fox for me!"

"Knock it off! How can you post videos in the comment section?"

Seeing these comments, Emma really couldn't hold back her laughter any longer.

Thanks for all power stone (thanks good review of my story)🍃
