A/N: Happy New year everyone!!!!
Here's 2 extra chaps!

"Let us move on from that part, Instead let me list down the benefits that you will be getting."
"First and foremost, is of course a Pokemon partner. One that you can either get randomly from an egg for free, or if you choose to adopt one of the hatched children that we have, that's fine as well."
"The second one, is a discount to every product or Pokemon eggs that you will buy in the Store, this will be really helpful in the long run, as some Pokemon have a rather extreme appetite and can even make someone broke if they're not careful."
"The third one, the Salary, which will be of course W.D, It won't be big, since we're just starting after all, but since you will be one of the first few that will get to train Pokemon, I'm pretty confident that you will be greatly sought after by the industry of your choosing"
"And, we don't really prohibit the five of you to have other jobs, as in essence this is merely a part time gig, since you five will not be really doing anything significant other than advertising the positive effects the Pokemon brings in your chosen jobs."
"Although, there will also be a Job purely related to Pokemon that we will hopefully get to implement in the future, but I won't say anything more about that for now."
"And lastly, You will receive the support of the Store, we can get you any item you desire, provided it's related to raising Pokemon of course. You will be surprised how hard it is to raise Pokemon without sufficient knowledge and materials."
"Speaking of knowledge, Every employee will have access to our Pokemon Library, where you can get knowledge on ANYTHING related to Pokemon. Provided of course, that you will not share or leak it to others, which I'm sure you won't do as you, gorgeous women don't really look to be the type to do those things."
"That's all from me, the rest is up to you ladies. Will the five of you accept the offer, is solely yours to decide"
After finishing his words, Zeke stood up from his seat before he walked towards the kitchen to give the five of them some space.
…..
The quintuplets were quiet as they pondered everything about their rather mysterious neighbor's revelation and his offer to be part of something greater.
They were just normal teenagers after all, so of course they didn't know what to say after hearing all these crazy things.
Creatures that can potentially cause mass destruction will appear in the near future, and how, the seemingly normal neighbor of theirs turned out to be part of some group that knows all of this will happen, and is even recruiting others to help the creatures settle down peacefully.
The five of them have mixed feelings on all of this.
In the end, after they weighed the pro's and con's, the five of them came to a unanimous decision.
***
Zeke came back to the living room and found the sisters just chatting leisurely while Miku was patting Ditto who had turned into a hedgehog once more.
'It seems that they have made their decisions.' Zeke smiled, before he faked a cough to announce his presence to everyone.
"I'm guessing the five if you have finished your discussions?"
"...Yes"
"Mhm!"
"I see, Then what are your decisions?"
The room turned sullen and anticipation was felt, as Zeke awaited their response.
"I-no, we… Accept." Ichika firmly said, which was followed by her sister's nods.
"Right!"
"Please take care of us"
Zeke couldn't help but release a barely noticeable smile hearing them, He nodded in acceptance and said.
"Well then, I guess we will need to go meet the shopkeeper later! I have already contacted them, and they asked to bring the five of you, for formality's sake and to also receive your partners!"
"I'll be in your five's care then! Ichika,Nino,Miku,Yotsuba, Itsuki"
"Likewise!"🔴
"Of course! You can count on me!"🟢
"Same here."🔵
"Take care of me as well.."🟣
"Alrighty~"🟡
"Yosh! Let us meet later, I will bring the five of you towards the shop, so better get ready!"
"Oh right! Since we will be colleagues from now on, I guess you guys can call me by my first name! Zeke! Or if you would prefer, Z or Zack is fine."

-A few days later-
(Zeke POV)
"Please come again, dear customer." I waved at the parting customer, the very same customer who saved the child before with her Abra.
It's been a few days since the Nakano Sisters had accepted my recruitment, and the five of them met the "Shopkeeper" who was Siesta with me.
I did have to endure Siesta's constant teasing after that, as she asked why I had invited my five gorgeous neighbors, and what my Intentions with them.
I had of course, vehemently refused the accusations, but she still kept going.
It only stopped when I just ignored her, as I instead focused on continuing my first ever grooming session with the mons.
Well…What was left of them at the very least. As after a few days, surprisingly most of them had gotten adopted.
The only Mon's left were the Onix,Vikavolt, and the combees.
The rest had found their perfect partners/owners. The Tauros was adopted by the same man who had gotten a miltank.
I had of course agreed to let him buy the Tauros after checking up on Miltank, who was super healthy and well fed. She was even well groomed.
As expected of the country that really respects cows. The rest were adopted by the previous customers who had enough money to spare to properly take care of them.
Of course, it wasn't all good news as there was actually someone who had hurt their partner. And that someone was a customer from China.
Now, I'm not saying everyone there is bad, since most countries here are much, much better than the ones in my previous world.
Unfortunately, you can't prevent a bad egg from emerging, so…There was bound to be a person that would abuse their partners.
Said Pokemon in question was a Farfetched…which, their former owner wanted to turn into a Roast duck.
Unfortunately…When I arrived, the Farfetched was already beheaded.
"...." I can't help but fume whenever I think about it.
That Innocent child, brutally murdered by its own partner.
I heaved a sigh…
"Right….that bastard deserved that punishment…" I muttered as I remembered the punishment that was befallen upon the said person by none other than Siesta.
As she was the one who had sold the Farfetched to that bastard.
As for the said punishment? Well…let's just say, the Chinese news right now was all about a hairless man licking his severed PP in public.
Anyways, moving on…
It was a pity what happened to that Farfetched, but I guess we can't really keep each and every mons safe.
After that Incident, I had called in an emergency check up with all the customers which ended up revealing another two trainers who had abused their partners.
Not to the point that they had hurt them as severely as the Farfetched. But, one of them had neglected their partner Pokemon, a very sweet Togepi.
It had become malnourished, so I had no choice but to confiscate the baby, and stripped the person of their privilege on buying mons from my Shop.
Although, I guess, they might get the chance to own Pokemon when I decide to make them appear in this world.
Which I can anytime now, as I had gotten the very same ticket needed for it in the gacha.
I had gotten three jackpots these past few days, and the ticket for Pokemon to appear is one of them.
The other two are two flutes. An Aeon flute, and a Quartz Flute.
The Blue and Red Aeon flute randomly summons either of the two Aeon twins, latios and latias, which I can use as a mount to go wherever I want.
Unfortunately, they can't battle, they can only be my personal flying mount for now.
As for the Quartz Flute… It can summon a mew, who… doesn't have any battling capabilities for now.
But instead, mew can alter my DNA, to change my appearance and body, only and temporarily for a Day at most. Mew can also turn invisible when she has to.
The downside…well not really a downside but… I now have to take care of a rather mischievous kitten.
Yeap…I can't unsummon mew… Instead she will always follow me wherever I go…aside from the bathroom of course.
Well…Whenever I'm in the house, She just play around with either Ditto, or if I'm in the shop, she goes out and plays with Onix and the rest.
We're getting sidetracked here.. Where was I?
Ah right! The Nakano Sisters ended up getting eggs, which coincidentally hatched into five fluffy Eevee's.
I swear I had nothing to do with it…
Furthermore, aside from giving them a PokeBall each for their baby Eevee's, we had also provided them with packs of Neutral Pokeblocks which will last for a month, as well as their own Pokedex.
Aside from that, Their reactions when I brought them in the shop were quite hilarious but that's a story for another time.
For now, I need to start cleaning up the shop!
***
-Later-
"Aaaaah~ Finally done." I looked around at the spotless lobby, feeling a bit mentally tired from cleaning after closing the shop.
It was a busy day, as I had gotten a lot of customers due to the previous one telling them about this place.
Nobody really caught my eye, aside from that gloomy guy who ended up getting a sobble.
Was it, Hachi-something man? I forgot, as I have had a busy day.
No matter, I'll meet the guy again, as surprisingly he's a really gentle dude. Managing to stop sobble from crying rather easily.
As for the points….I had lost count, but that did not matter right now as It wasn't really enough for me to buy something good.
On the other hand, my tokens… I used up all of them already and only got those three as jackpots, along with a habitat ticket of flying type.
So I guess it's decent…As for the others…
My eyes twitched as I looked at all the female stuff….from stockings, to underwear and clothes.
Other than that….I got some food, Jagamarukun to be precise… which was not bad, but not that good either in today's standards.
The Jagamarukun is from the world of Danmachi, which I planned on visiting some other time in the future, but not to sell Pokemon… NOPE it would be a bad idea.
Instead, maybe as a vacation of some sorts…I also want to save the Astrea familia and Artemis familia so there's that.
ALSO! I wanna meet Hephaestus herself and the dwarves!
Humu!
Anyhow, let's get back on the Pentagon building.
As for Siesta, She had already eaten dinner… It was food cooked by Yukihira Soma himself which I got from the Gacha as well.
***
-Pentagon Building-
"YOSHA! Now…where shall I go?" I pondered as I thought about places that I can visit.
After all, I had the Aeon flute, so it would be a waste if I didn't take a walk in different parts of the world.
"Hmmm ... How about Hokkaido for now. What do you think, Mew?" I asked the air beside me, which not long after revealed a pink cat like creature with a long tail and tiny limbs.
"Mew!" it smiled and nodded, and I smiled back before I retrieved my mimic ball and released Ditto who woke up from his sleep.
"Ditto, we're going to Hokkaido, do you want to come with us? Or would you rather stay and watch the house?"
"Dii~to" Unfortunately Ditto shook his head before he transformed into a ginger tabby cat before jumping on my bed, closing his eyes after meowing.
"I'm gonna take that as a No then… *sigh* You shut in" I shook my head at my lazy partner before I took out a tablet from my inventory and put it down beside him.
"Here's your tablet, and as for food, I'm pretty sure you can open the fridge on your own now, so just take some food if you're ever hungry."
"Mreow"
"Alright, we're off then!" After changing into some appropriate attire, me and mew got out of the house and into the garden before I took out the Aeon flute and played a song.
"~fweeeow~"
I looked at the time from my phone as I waited for either of the twins to arrive.
"4pm…I guess I'll go and take a walk around once we arrive"
Not long after, a whooshing sound was heard before a Red jet-like creature appeared beside me.
It was latias who came.
"Hey girl, how are you? I hope I wasn't disturbing you?" I patted Latias on her head before I materialized a Leppa berry which I fed her.
"Fweeoww~!" She shook her head before she rubbed it on me.
"Aha, I guess not? Anyhow, we will go to Hokkaido today, I'm sure you've already been there?" I asked her and she nodded.
Just like Mew, Latios and Latias didn't got unsummoned after I used the Aeon flute the first time.
Instead, I let them roam the world as they wish, as I'm confident that nothing could hurt or even detect them.
Afterall, they are semi-real, and can decide whether to materialize as a physical being or not.
And they can go invisible too!
"Mew, cloak us please?" I asked my feline friend and she agreed. She roosted on top of my head before she worked her magic, turning us invisible and undetectable by any machines currently in existence.
I hopped into Latias and voiced.
"Let's go!"
Latias proceeded to Fly away steadily and slowly at first before she started to go faster and faster until we were ultimately flying at the speed of sound.
And I did not feel a thing as the Aeon flute also acts as a barrier to protect me from any wind that will most definitely launch me away if I weren't protected.
Along the way, I gazed at the bed of clouds which reflected the sunlight above, as I felt refreshed.
"It's always so mesmerizing seeing this…"
I smiled and closed my eyes as I felt the gentle breeze that the protection allowed to pass by.
"meeeewwww" my feline friend expressed in excitement as she looked around left and right.
And I don't blame her, as It's truly a spectacular sight, especially since I can see it first hand, and not inside a plane.
"WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!" I couldn't help but join in with mew as I shouted to my heart's content!
Afterall, who wouldn't?
