“Hmm, I'm about to leave for my trip, don't worry about me, Little Chrysanthemum. Are you not eating breakfast again because you're too busy? I saw the latest KamiZure performance show. While still beautiful, your steps seemed a little off.”
With a handsome black hair, red eyes, and a black vest outlining sharp muscles, 15-year-old Xiao Zhi was putting on his red coat while chatting with Little Chrysanthemum.
KamiZure, the stage name Little Chrysanthemum used after her debut. Of course, to Xiao Zhi, it made no difference. The connection between Little Chrysanthemum, Karune, and Xiao Zhi never ceased. They frequently chatted about their lives, but it was difficult to gather together because they lived in different places.
Little Chrysanthemum, lying on her bed, swung her legs and laughed while listening to Xiao Zhi's nagging. "Alright, alright, I know I need to take care of myself. It's just that recently, my schedule has been packed, so it's been a bit troublesome. Don't I have the medicine you sent me?"
"That's not good enough. Taking medicine is not as good as paying attention to yourself. Anyway, just take care of yourself and don't work too hard."
"Alright, alright. You just go on your trip peacefully. When you come to the Unison Region, come visit me. Your sister is waiting for you."
"Got it. Don't hold back when we battle for the gym."
"I won't hold back. If I lose, you can cry in my arms, Xiao Zhi."
"Understood. I should be leaving now, bye."
"Bye!"
After ending the call with Little Chrysanthemum, Xiao Zhi began his final checks. After all, he was about to start his journey, and he needed to pack the necessary items.
"Okay, cash OK, bank card OK, black card OK, clothes are good, cooking tools and backup food OK, and candies to give away. Perfect! This backpack is amazing!"
Patting his pocket, a backpack from Xing Hei Technology, Xiao Zhi nodded in satisfaction. Just then, a knock on the door sounded, and a Blissey poked its head out.
"Lucky!"
"I know, I'll be down right away. Did you pack everything you need?"
"Lucky!" Blissey smiled and nodded.
"Good, let's go."
When Xiao Zhi walked downstairs, Meowth, Pikachu, a Milktank, a Gardevoir, and a Houndoom were waiting for him.
That's right, Pichu evolved, becoming Pikachu. Xiao Zhi had long known that his Pikachu was the legendary Pika God, but he didn't care. He had almost completely forgotten the so-called plot. Maybe if he encountered something, he would have some memories, but in Xiao Zhi's view, he only needed to remember what Pokemon existed. After all, he wasn't some clueless fool.
Speaking of which, let's introduce Milktank, Houndoom, and Gardevoir. Milktank was purchased by Xiao Zhi from a ranch so that the Chansey at the time could drink fresh milk.
Now, although Chansey had evolved into Blissey, the fresh milk for the family was still provided by Milktank. After all, the combination of nutritional science knowledge and grass feed ingredients prepared by Xiao Zhi made Milktank very satisfied. Coupled with the special massage techniques he had researched with a girl who aspired to become a breeder, the milk produced by Milktank was extremely delicious. Of course, Xiao Zhi's Milktank was not responsible for fighting, but for preparing fresh milk for everyone every day. The only thing she needed to do was eat her fill, move around, and rest.
The origin of Xiao Zhi's Gardevoir was more interesting. She was the child of Karune's Gardevoir. As for why Karune gave her to Xiao Zhi, it was naturally because Xiao Zhi had given Karune's family a discount on the medicines that Joy sold to them. Not only Karune, but also Little Chrysanthemum's family and Professor Oak's family received discounts. Even the aspiring breeder girl mentioned before enjoyed this discount. After all, in such small matters, Xiao Zhi could still help. And for the Joy family, these so-called discounts were a mere drizzle compared to their earnings. However, I heard from Karune's elder sister that she has now become a Champion, which is incredibly impressive.
And the final Houndoom was given to Xiao Zhi by the Gym Leader family. The reason is simple. Over the years, Xiao Zhi used the money he earned from patents to open Chinese cuisine restaurants with the help of the Joy family and Professor Oak in many regions. There is a rule in these restaurants: police officers can come here to eat hot meals for free at any time, and chefs must be ready to serve police officers at any time, not to shirk their duties!
This rule directly won the favor of the Gym Leader family. After all, with this management style, even if the earnings were substantial, the expenses were also considerable. However, for Xiao Zhi now, money was just a string of numbers. The thing Xiao Zhi didn't lack the most was money. It can be said that if Xiao Zhi became a stud and produced a bunch of children, his money would be enough for them to spend lavishly for a lifetime. This is the terror of monopoly.
Coupled with the fact that Xiao Zhi had good relationships with various regional professors due to Meowth, Xiao Zhi's journey was like having a cheat code enabled: unlimited money plus the cheat of Meowth, the human-shaped translator. Of course, Xiao Zhi had an even more powerful cheat, one that he had created himself, the most annoying and heartbreaking cheat.
"Come in, Houndoom, Milktank."
After recalling Houndoom and Milktank into their Poke Balls, Xiao Zhi held Gardevoir's hand, with Meowth and Blissey on his left and right, and Pikachu and Hanako on his shoulders. "Mom, I'm going to get the Pokedex from Professor Oak."
"Okay, come back quickly. Your friends are waiting for you."
Hanako pointed to the Pokemon outside Xiao Zhi's house while speaking.
Looking at these guys, Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "I'll be back soon, we'll say goodbye properly then."
