With great care, Gu Xin helped the wealthy Bai Qianqian lher purchased Energy Cubes into the car's trunk before watching her climb into the driver's seat.
“Bye-bye, handsome! I'll contact you if I have any questions about raising Squirtle,” Bai Qianqian said, buckling the innocent-looking Squirtle into the passenger seat with a seatbelt. She leaned out the window and waved goodbye to Gu Xin.
“Bye-bye! Come back soon, and don't forget to recommend me to others!”
“Got it,” Bai Qianqian replied playfully, sticking out her tongue before driving off.
Gu Xin stood there, watching her luxury car disappear from sight. Taking out a Poké Ball from his pocket, he hesitated. Should he give the Poké Ball to Bai Qianqian now?
After pondering for a moment, he decided against it. Poké Ball technology was still too far-fetched for this world.
Although the system had mentioned that its influence would minimize resistance to Pokémon and their related items, Gu Xin felt it was better to wait for the right time.
For now, Bai Qianqian was his only customer, and he had sold just one Pokémon. There wasn't yet any urgency to introduce Poké Balls.
“Finally made my first sale,” Gu Xin sighed with relief as he stretched before heading back into the store.
It hadn't been easy—running a pet shop was no walk in the park. Foot traffic was already low, and anyone who saw the absence of cats and dogs immediately walked out without hesitation.
One customer had reluctantly tried his luck with a draw and ended up with Larvitar.
But after taking one look at Larvitar and hearing the price, he left without a word, pausing only to kindly call Gu Xin “crazy” on his way out.
“That guy will regret it someday,” Gu Xin muttered, shaking his head.
Missing out on Larvitar was a colossal mistake. Gu Xin himself had been astonished by that customer's incredible luck—getting Larvitar on the very first draw!
“System, settle the newbie task,” Gu Xin said inwardly as he sipped his tea back at the counter.
The Pokémon Father System—the very system that had made him the owner of this shop—responded promptly.
“Newbie task: Sell the first Pokémon—completed. Calculating rewards.”
“Reward: One unrestricted draw. Would you like to proceed?”
The system's mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
“Proceed!” Gu Xin replied without hesitation, his excitement building.
Although he had just sold Squirtle to Bai Qianqian, he himself still didn't own any Pokémon.
Now, his first one was about to arrive—and it was an unrestricted draw!
That meant he had a chance to get legendary or mythical Pokémon like Ho-Oh, Lugia, Rayquaza, or Kyurem!
“Starting the draw.”
A translucent, virtual wheel appeared before him, spinning rapidly as shadowy images flashed across it. Slowly, the wheel came to a stop.
The shadow grew clearer, and Gu Xin's eyes lit up.
“Congratulations, Host. You've drawn Diancie.”
“Ha! My luck today is amazing!” Gu Xin couldn't suppress a wide grin as he retrieved Diancie's Poké Ball from the system's reward panel.
Diancie—the princess of the Diamond Domain and classified as a mythical Pokémon.
Yes, a mythical Pokémon, as rare and precious as Mew and Celebi in official classifications!
“Come out, Diancie!”
With a flash of white light, a dazzling Pokémon appeared before Gu Xin.
On its head sat a pink, circular diamond surrounded by a crown of four octahedral diamonds and two elongated ones. It wore a flowing white gown, and its lower body was composed of partially exposed raw diamonds.
Its ruby-like eyes, small ears, and a golden necklace with an octahedral diamond centerpiece exuded elegance and charm.
Diancie tilted its head curiously as it observed Gu Xin.
“Hello, Diancie. I'm Gu Xin. From now on, we're family. Please take care of me,” Gu Xin said warmly, leaning forward slightly with a friendly smile.
“Likewise, Gu Xin,” Diancie replied, its ruby eyes glimmering. It clasped its hands in front of it and gave a graceful bow.
A melodious and gentle female voice resonated in Gu Xin's ears—it was Diancie's telepathic communication!
Telepathy was a special form of cross-species communication, a direct connection between minds.
“Your voice is lovely, Diancie. Here, have some of these,” Gu Xin said with a brighter smile, complimenting Diancie as he took a box of Energy Cubes from the counter.
“Thank you, Gu Xin. Diancie likes them very much,” Diancie replied, taking an Energy Cube delicately in its small hand and tasting it. Its contentment was clear through its soothing telepathic voice.
Every move Diancie made was so refined, like a noble lady with impeccable manners. Watching it eat was truly a delight.
It was a stark contrast to the lively and playful way Squirtle had devoured its food earlier.
“Adorable,” Gu Xin murmured, wearing the same doting smile Bai Qianqian had shown earlier.
This was his very first Pokémon—his precious Diancie!
Yes, my Diancie is the most beautiful and the cutest!
