"That guy... what exactly is he here for?"

Staring at the windowsill where the Moonlit Eevee had just left, Yishu stood there dazed, unable to recover for a long time.

If I were to go... could I win?

No!

I will win!

I, Yishu, am a genius!

Back in my hometown, even the adults couldn't beat me.

"Not necessarily, kid," A Si teased, seeing through Yishu's thoughts.

"If that new Eevee has an owner, and they team up, you won't be able to win."

"Are you kidding? I haven't lost a single battle since I started adventuring!"

Yishu shouted in frustration, storming out of the azure gym.

"But that Eevee's fighting style is truly unique. I wonder what kind of trainer it has. If he participates in this year's Quartz Conference and runs into that kid Yishu, it would be interesting."

Pat-pat—

Stones fell onto his forehead.

A Si looked up and noticed the hole that the Moonlit Eevee had just blasted through.

"Uh... let's apply for repair funds from the League first."

...

Meanwhile, outside, Su Sheng successfully met with Sakaki and started the Double 11 shopping spree with the card he received.

In the end, because there were too many items to carry back, they had to arrange for the mall to deliver them.

"I've basically bought everything I could. The rest, I'll have to rely on you, Uncle Sakaki."

Su Sheng glanced at his shopping list.

Iodine, test tubes, beakers, microscopes...

These basic medical supplies can generally be purchased at specialty stores.

But professional equipment is another story; that market is mostly controlled by the Joy family.

Incubators, medical centrifuges, clinical analyzers, and so on...

To buy these, not only do you need a professional certification, but also the Joy family's approval.

Su Sheng didn't have the spare time to waste on this.

He could only rely on Sakaki's connections.

Sakaki glanced at the list, noticing some equipment he didn't even know the use of, feeling that this kid was becoming increasingly hard to figure out.

"Ha, the price of these items, combined with that house, is already worth more than a Mini Dragon."

Sakaki joked half-heartedly.

He had originally wanted to sell Su Sheng a favor with a Mini Dragon.

Seeing that the other party didn't want it, he thought he could save some money.

After all, while Team Rocket is somewhat notorious in Kanto, they haven't yet become the colossal force that can shake the entire Kanto.

Otherwise, his son wouldn't have mysteriously disappeared.

But the facts proved that he was overthinking.

The things Su Sheng wanted, added together, already exceeded the price of a Mini Dragon.

"You can't catch a wolf dog without giving up a child. Besides, it's just a Mini Dragon, right? The benefits you'll reap later will far exceed this."

Su Sheng insisted that Sakaki should broaden his perspective. "Ha, sounds like you look down on the Mini Dragon a bit? You should know it’s the dream Pokémon of countless trainers."

Sakaki raised an eyebrow.

"That's not it, it's just that its situation is a bit awkward."

Su Sheng's words left Sakaki puzzled.

What does that mean?

Emmm... mainly because in this era, Mega Evolutions, Z-Moves, and Dynamax have yet to be researched.

In Su Sheng's eyes, as a time traveler, the treatment of Dragonite, a first-generation quasi-legendary, is indeed hard to describe.

Mega Evolutions, exclusive Z-Moves, and Super Dynamax... none of them exist for it.

Other popular quasi-legendaries like Salamence, Metagross, and Garchomp have all received some enhancements.

Even Guzzlord has an ancient form.

But Dragonite is left awkwardly without anything.

Compared to being teased as "dad's favorite," Dragonite is practically treated like a stepchild.

"Although I don't know what you mean, you definitely shouldn't let that newly promoted champion of the Quartz Alliance hear this."

Sakaki joked as well.

He was referring to the Dragon Champion who became the new member of the Quartz Alliance last year, defeating all others.

Although Sakaki hasn't formally met him yet, he has heard about how obsessed that champion is with Dragon-types.

It's said that in his team of six Pokémon, there are two Dragonair and one Dragonite.

Sakaki was stunned for a while after hearing this.

Is there really such a team composition?

"Is it the Flying Champion? Haha— I know."

Su Sheng also showed an expression of "I don't want to laugh, but I can't help it."

At this time, basic information about the current era can be found online.

The current champion of the Quartz Alliance is still Grandma Kikuko.

But it won't be long before she is replaced by Yu Longdu.

By the way, Yu Longdu's name isn't "Yu Long" with the surname "Du."

He is called "A Du."

"Yu Long" is a nickname.

Just like "Straw Hat Luffy."

The first part is the nickname and the second part is the name.

...

"I've already asked someone to get those things you wanted, but it will take about a week to arrive," Sakaki said as they neared the seaside cottage, putting down his phone.

"That's fine. With these things, it will be enough for me to research for a while."

After saying this, Su Sheng turned to the delivery company staff, saying,

"Put the office desk over here, and the lab table by the window. Thank you for your hard work..."

The staff nodded and ordered their Haoli to start delivering the goods.

Suddenly, Su Sheng remembered that in his previous life playing "Emerald," it was Haoli that helped the protagonist move, right?

Oh, wait, wasn't it the Machoke?

Can't remember clearly.

Su Sheng looked at the truck's name—Haoli Moving Company.

Yeah, Pokémon have indeed completely integrated into the lives of people in this world.

"Mr. Sakaki, here is the housing contract. You can sign it once you confirm there are no issues."

At this moment, another group of people arrived.

At the forefront was a middle-aged man in a suit, about the same age as Sakaki.

However, compared to the sturdy Sakaki, the man was taller and thinner, with gray hair, exuding a bit of a handsome uncle vibe.

Su Sheng noticed the nameplate on the man's custom suit—

[President · Li Yue]

"Long time no see, President Li Yue."

Sakaki shook hands with the man and took the contract.

"The owner should be this kid here, is that alright?"

Sakaki pointed his thumb at Su Sheng.

"If he's a minor... according to the League's laws, that's not allowed, but if it's Mr. Sakaki's request, we can make a small exception."

The man named "Li Yue" smiled and looked a bit curious, "I just wonder who this young master is..."

"Uh, he is..."

Mentioning this made Sakaki hesitate.

Damn, I forgot to think of a reason.

"Sheng Pianling has lived half his life, only regretting not meeting a wise lord; if you do not abandon me..."

"Uh... this kid counts as my nephew."

Sakaki randomly came up with an excuse.

For some reason, he always felt that if Su Sheng finished speaking, he would be in big trouble.
