Chapter 10: It seems to be a boss…
“Is this young Charmander strong?” Chu Kelian observed the image of Charmander in the Pokédex, taking a moment to ponder before directing her question to Guxin.
She doesn’t believe this Charmander can turn into a dragon, but the picture looks good. However, that wasn’t her primary concern. Chu Kelian had something else on her mind.
“I’m not sure what you mean, lovely lady,” Guxin quirked an eyebrow.
“See, Squirtle can use Water Gun, so can this little Charmander unleash Flamethrower?” Chu Kelian gestured towards Squirtle, who had attached itself to Bai Qianqian’s leg. Her focus seemed slightly shifted.
“Chu Kelian, what are you talking about? A pet that breathes fire? That’s just not possible,” Bai Qianqian responded incredulously.
While Squirtle might employ a Water Gun, similar to how certain animals sprayed water, an exhaling fire seemed far-fetched.
Lin Sheng vigorously nodded in agreement, clearly thinking Chu Kelian’s imagination had gone too far. “Breathing fire? It’s a bit too outlandish, even for a rich and beautiful girl’s thoughts.”
“Why not? It’s called Charmander, you know,” Chu Kelian defended herself, her tone carrying a touch of helplessness.
“The young lady is indeed correct. Why not?” Guxin chimed in with a smile.
Bai Qianqian and the three of them were momentarily stunned by this exchange.
“Of course, Charmander can breathe fire. It’s a Fire-type Pokémon and not just Charmander,” Guxin explained, his attention shifting to the Vulpix nestled in Lin Sheng’s arms. The Vulpix seemed relatively calm, even mustering a cute yawn.
“Sir, could we possibly borrow your Vulpix for a demonstration?” Guxin asked.
“Um… alright,” Lin Sheng responded instinctively, although a vague suspicion told him that this idea was somewhat off.
Employing Vulpix for a demonstration? What on earth was Guxin getting at?
Lin Sheng placed Vulpix on the ground, and the little creature regarded him with a puzzled expression.
“Sir, as Vulpix’s partner, could you ask it to use Ember?” Guxin inquired.
Guxin fetched a disposable cup brimming with water and positioned it before Vulpix, a playful smile gracing his lips.
Lin Sheng’s brows quirked in curiosity and awkwardness, his gaze briefly flickering towards Bai Qianqian and Chu Kelian, almost as if seeking validation.
“…”
Taking a deep breath, Lin Sheng directed his attention to Vulpix, his curiosity overwhelming any self-consciousness. He spoke in a hushed tone, a blend of eagerness and fascination evident in his voice.
“Vulpix, use Ember.”
Then, in a scene that left Lin Sheng and the others dumbfounded, Vulpix complied. Its mouth opened, releasing a burst of miniature red sparks that gracefully enveloped the disposable cup. The spectacle unfolded amidst their astonished expressions.
The temperature of the sparks was not low, and in no time, the disposable cup had softened entirely, and the water inside had spilled out.
Silence!
“Oh, my God!” Lin Sheng was stunned, and he unconsciously spoke a graceful Mandarin sentence.
Does this little fox just breathe fire?
Bai Qianqian and Chu Kelian were speechless and shocked when they saw the Vulpix breathe fire.
“Pokemon are very magical creatures. They have various attributes and characteristics, and they can also use the abilities of corresponding attributes.”
“Maybe you have never been in contact with it before, so you find it difficult to imagine, but everything is from strange to familiar, and you will get used to it in the future.”
Guxin smiled, noting that Pokemon were not just cute pets for selling merchandise.
It is necessary and inevitable to make people aware of their abilities.
“What an amazing little fox!” Chu Kelian was awestruck, watching the six-tailed creature.
“It can breathe fire!”
“Attributes and abilities…”
Bai Qianqian was the first to realize that these two terms sounded familiar. Suddenly, she remembered something and took a pink Pokedex from her bag. Yes, that was it!
Bai Qianqian aimed the Pokedex at the Vulpix, and the Vulpix’s image appeared on the screen.
“Ding! Vulpix, Fire-type, Fox Pokemon.
Ability: Flash Fire.
Moves: Ember, Roar, Tail Whip.
It is born with only one snow-white tail, but its tail splits and grows more beautiful as it evolves.”
The mechanical, electronic voice of the Pokedex sounded.
“What is this?” Chu Kelian asked curiously, hearing the Pokedex’s introduction.
“This is a Pokedex, which Miss Bai Qianqian purchased from me before. It can help you better understand Pokemon,” Guxin explained briefly.
“You are still unfamiliar with Pokemon and must have many doubts. But these can be understood gradually, compared to these…”
“Gorgeous lady, what do you think of Charmander?”
Guxin turned his gaze to Chu Kelian, who was fiddling with her Pokedex.
“Oh, Charmander! Boss, I want a Charmander!”
Chu Kelian suddenly remembered. Her eyes brightened as she turned to Guxin. After all, he had clearly stated earlier that Charmander could breathe fire, just like this Vulpix!
“Please wait a moment,” Guxin smiled and politely nodded to Chu Kelian before walking towards the partition.
“I feel like there are a lot of secrets here and that Vulpix can even breathe fire…”
Once Guxin entered the partition, Chu Kelian couldn’t help but speak. She had too many doubts in her heart.
Pokemon? Attributes?
Are these creatures just pets? And they can be both water and fire…
“This store has a business license, and that’s pretty good, right?” Lin Sheng again picked up the Vulpix and glanced at Chu Kelian before speaking.
He had also thought about many things, but what he knew for sure was that he liked the Vulpix.
And after seeing it breathe fire, he liked it even more!
“Ability: Torrent. When the Pokemon’s HP is low, the power of water-type moves increases?”
As she looked at the detailed Torrent ability, Bai Qianqian clicked on the Squirtle’s interface and fell into contemplation.
“So that’s how this Pokedex works.”
Chu Kelian pitifully groped and pointed the store manager’s Pokedex at Diancie, who was watching TV.
“Beep~ Diancie.”
“Rock/Fairy type. Jewel Pokemon.”
“Ability: Clear Body.”
“Moves: Diamond Storm, Moonblast, Power Gem, Rock Slide, Light Screen, Primal Power, etc.”
“The mutated form of Carbink, its body glows with pink light and is acclaimed as the most beautiful in the world. It can compress carbon elements in the air between its hands and instantly create many diamonds. It is a legendary Pokemon.”
The electronic voice of the Pokedex rang in the ears of the three. After listening to the introduction of the Pokedex, the three stared blankly at Diancie, who had heard the voice of the Pokedex and turned around.
Although they didn’t quite understand everything, they felt that this beautiful little Diancie was like a boss…
