NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 12: Chapter 12
Wangsheng Funeral Parlor
Xiangling was disappointed that she couldn't get the Growlithe. She could only stare longingly at the puppy that Takumi had placed on the counter, drinking MooMoo Milk.
"Hmph, our Gible will always be the strongest and cutest!" Hu Tao declared. "I'll be known as the person with the cutest partner in the world!"
As a proud owner of a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Hu Tao was very confident. She squatted down and rubbed the head of her baby Gible, which was following her closely.
"Shark~! (That's right)" Gible raised its head and puffed out its chest.
Takumi glanced at Hu Tao.
"Tell me, your Gible caused trouble this morning, didn't it?"
Hu Tao sighed and explained the whole situation.
Takumi was speechless.
"Hall Master Hu Tao, didn't you read the novice trainer's instruction manual?"
"It's written clearly on the first page!"
"Be very careful when training Pokémon in villages, towns, or cities."
"Either you have a large property with enough space, a dedicated training ground, or you simply take them out to the wild!"
"By the way, our store has just launched a trainer's club service, offering professional training rooms. You can use them unlimitedly with a membership card!"
Hearing this, Hu Tao's interest in Pokémon House's professional training room was piqued.
"Then, boss, sign me up for a membership!"
Meanwhile, Xiangling, after a while, managed to look away when Takumi took Growlithe, who had drunk its milk and fallen asleep, back to the breeding room.
When Takumi returned, Xiangling placed her hands on the counter and said eagerly:
"Store Manager! I also want to draw my first Pokémon!"
Takumi smiled. It was time to cater to another big client.
Xiangling's family owned Wanmin Restaurant, and she had excellent cooking skills. Her master in cooking was Granny Ping, one of the Adepti of Liyue.
She was definitely from a prominent family. Now was the time to make a strategic move.
"Cresselia, bring me a blank Pokédex." Takumi didn't feel like moving, so he called out into the back.
Soon, the Goddess of Dreams, Cresselia, floated over, appearing with an absolutely stunning grace.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of Hu Tao and Xiangling, she used her telekinesis to separate a blank Pokédex in mid-air and passed it to Takumi.
"This... this..."
Xiangling was so stunned she couldn't form a complete sentence.
Hu Tao was equally dazzled.
Cresselia, with her swan-like sapphire body, brilliant planetary rings, and her embodiment of the crescent moon, exuded an elegant and noble temperament like a goddess.
Wow!
The two of them rushed to surround Cresselia, who was slightly puzzled by their excitement.
"You two guests..."
A pleasant but slightly doubtful voice echoed in the hearts of Hu Tao and Xiangling.
Their reactions were even more interesting—shock, confusion, and awe.
"That voice just now... was it..."
"It's me."
As a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon, Cresselia didn't find it strange to float around like this. She blinked her gem-like eyes at the two girls.
"I am Takumi's Pokémon."
"And also a store assistant."
Takumi approached with the blank Pokédex, ready to hand it to Xiangling to start the process of drawing her first Pokémon.
Suddenly, Hu Tao exclaimed excitedly:
"Manager Takumi, would you sell this Pokémon?"
"I'm willing to spend five hundred million Mora to buy it!"
Her tone was filled with determination and enthusiasm.
"Shark~?"
At Hu Tao's feet, Gible couldn't help but tilt its head, confusion in its eyes.
The trainer had previously praised it as the cutest in the world.
Now she had changed her mind?
Well, this is human nature, I guess!
Baby Gible learned a valuable life lesson for the first time.
Takumi: ...
"Sorry, Cresselia is not for sale, and she's priceless."
Hu Tao wisely shut her mouth when she heard Takumi's firm tone.
"But..." she continued. "A Pokémon that can communicate telepathically!"
Hu Tao circled around Cresselia, wanting to touch her, but Cresselia's unique and sacred aura made her hesitant.
Her cautious behavior was rare to see, given Hu Tao's usual eccentricity.
"Let me put it this way," Takumi said, seeing that Hu Tao still had some lingering thoughts, and shrugged.
"Cresselia is an extremely special existence."
"She's a Legendary Pokémon."
"So..."
"Would you walk up to one of Liyue's Adepti in animal form and wave a Mora deposit certificate, saying you wanted to buy them?"
Hearing this, Hu Tao's eyes widened, and she shook her head vigorously:
"If I showed that kind of attitude toward an Adeptus of Liyue, they'd probably beat me on the spot!"
At this point, Hu Tao suddenly remembered something. She took out her white Pokédex and pointed it at Cresselia.
Beep!
「Cresselia (Legendary Pokémon)」
「Type: Psychic」
「Ability: Levitate」
「Level: Second-Level God (Lv. 119)」
「Moves: Telekinesis, Double Team, Mist, Aurora Beam, Psybeam, Psycho Cut, Psychic, Future Sight...」
「It is said that sleeping with Cresselia's feathers grants sweet dreams. Known as the embodiment of the crescent moon.」
The Pokédex made an electronic mechanical sound.
Just reading out Cresselia's move list took several minutes.
After listening to all the information, Xiangling and Hu Tao were stunned. Looking at the friendly Legendary Pokémon up close, they started to feel a sense of awe mixed with fear.
"Gulp~~!!"
The sound of swallowing echoed in the room.
They couldn't help it.
It was a kind of respect for a powerful being.
The Pokédex had stated it clearly—
「Second-Level God」!
Even if they didn't fully understand how the divine tiers of Legendary Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon were classified, seeing the level displayed as "Lv. 119" made them look at each other in shock.
Confirmed look.
This was a true powerhouse!!
