With a new treasure in hand, Gu Xin couldn't resist showing it off.
He recorded a video of Diancie and Manaphy playing together and immediately sent it to the group chat.
“Meet Manaphy, the new member of Pokémon Home, haha~ What do you all think?”
Gu Xin tapped on his phone screen while munching on a freshly delivered ice cream, utterly content.
“Ma-na~”
Manaphy leaned toward Gu Xin, curiously eyeing the ice cream.
“Want a taste, little cutie?” Gu Xin grabbed a new spoon from the cabinet, scooped some ice cream, and offered it to Manaphy.
“Ma-na!”
Manaphy's big eyes sparkled with delight as it savored the sweet and cold flavor, letting out a happy cry.
Was it his imagination, or did he see Manaphy surrounded by a faint glow of starlight? That was pure joy!
“Haha~ If you like it, you can have some every day.”
Gu Xin lovingly patted Manaphy's soft, jelly-like head while moving the ice cream closer.
Manaphy felt as soft and bouncy as touching a piece of jelly.
“Ma-na~ Na~”
Manaphy beamed with joy, clutching the spoon in one hand and the ice cream in the other, even breaking into a happy tune.
Watching Manaphy and Diancie sit together watching cartoons, Gu Xin chuckled and glanced at his phone.
From Small to Beautiful: “Wow~ So tiny and adorable!”
I'm the Top Campus Belle: “Judging by its appearance, it's probably Water-type? It's so cute! Even its cry is super soft!”
He's the Male Fox: “Pardon my bluntness, but it's not as pretty as my fox.”
From Small to Beautiful: “Right, right, not as pretty as your fox. Sassy face.JPG”
Timid as a Bird: “Wait a minute, we just left, and you already got yourself a Manaphy?”
Gu Xin looked at these comments and decided to use the Pokédex on Manaphy.
He then took a screenshot of Manaphy's data and shared it in the group.
Manaphy – Water Type, Seafaring Pokémon
Ability: Hydration
Moves: Heart S Hydro Pump, Dazzling Gleam, Energy Ball, Blizzard, Surf, Psychic, and more.
Description: Born in the cold depths of the ocean, 80% of its body is composed of water. Using its innate mystical power, it can connect emotionally with any Pokémon. It's a legendary mythical Water-type Pokémon.
As soon as the image was upld, the group chat fell silent.
Those over-the-top moves, and more importantly:
A legendary mythical Water-type Pokémon!
After a long pause...
He's the Male Fox retracted a message.
He's the Male Fox: “Sorry for being a bit loud earlier. Let's all pretend it didn't happen. Manaphy is the best-looking Pokémon! (Jealousy shattered my spirit.JPG)”
Larvitar Is Not a Foodie: “??? (Confused face.JPG)”
From Small to Beautiful: “Ahhh! Boss, I'm also part of your family! Let me hug Manaphy!”
I'm the Top Campus Belle: “Boss, do you need a girlfriend? I'm the most beautiful campus belle in Magic City! I'll take good care of Manaphy and Diancie!”
Timid as a Bird: “(o.O) This move list is insane! What kind of divine Pokémon is this?”
Gu Boss: (Elegant and adorable.JPG)
Watching the flood of envious and admiring messages, Gu Xin smugly posted an emoji.
Showing off and flexing a little—it's human nature, right?
What's wrong with him showing off his adorable Manaphy? Good news is meant to be shared with everyone!
“Ah, that feels so good.”
After showing off, Gu Xin leaned back in his soft chair, ordered another ice cream, and relaxed.
It was already close to three o'clock—he wondered if there would be new customers in the afternoon.
“Wow, a legendary mythical Pokémon... That's amazing.”
Meanwhile, on the way home, Ruan Xinyi marveled as she read through the rookie trainer's handabout legendary Pokémon.
No wonder the group chat members were so excited. That adorable Manaphy had such a prestigious status.
“Well, it's the boss, after all. And Diancie is also a mythical Pokémon.”
“Huh? Diancie is too?”
“Big sis, are you serious? Didn't you record Diancie's info in your Pokédex?”
Ruan Youxiu raised an eyebrow, looking at his sister in disbelief.
“I was just too excited about Bulbasaur, okay?” Ruan Xinyi smiled sheepishly.
She had indeed forgotten—Diancie was a Pokémon, too.
“And to think that even Chen Yun came to the shop to buy a pet.”
Ruan Youxiu rolled his eyes, glancing at his chat with Chen Yun on his phone.
“Chen Yun? As in the eldest young master of the Huaqi Financial Group?” Ruan Xinyi asked, surprised.
“Yeah, Uncle Chen is close friends with our dad. Chen Yun's even had dinner at our place several times. Didn't you add him on WeChat?”
Ruan Youxiu gave her a puzzled look.
“That's not my thing.” Ruan Xinyi shrugged, uninterested in family socializing.
“And about that ‘Top Campus Belle,' the current campus belle of Magic University is Bai Qianqian from the Bai family, right? So, this girl in the video must be Chu Kelian.”
Ruan Youxiu examined the group chat participants, amazed.
Wow, none of these people were ordinary. Even the fox trainer was Chen Yun's cousin.
Whatever. It wasn't his business anyway.
Shaking his head, Ruan Youxiu dismissed the thoughts.
“Big sis.”
“Hm? What?”
Distracted by the group chat, Ruan Xinyi looked up.
Ruan Youxiu hesitated, then spoke.
“Tomorrow, can you ask Dad for more money? Tell him it's for makeup and clothes, then lend me some.”
He was itching for a legendary Pokémon, too.
“What? You're out of money?” Ruan Xinyi was stunned.
She could tell—her brother probably wanted to buy another Pokémon.
“I don't usually spend money, but my other card is with Mom.” Ruan Youxiu sighed.
As a model student with strict parents, most of his savings were in his mom's hands.
After buying an Electabuzz today, he barely had anything left. Asking his mom for the card back would definitely raise suspicions.
“Why don't you ask for it yourself?” Ruan Xinyi retorted.
“Girls spending money is normal. Plus, Dad won't scold you.” Ruan Youxiu shrugged.
“Heh~”
Ruan Xinyi sneered. Sure, Dad rarely disciplined her, but he never spared her a long lecture either.
If he found out she was asking for money to buy a pet, he'd nag her to death.
“Get lost, you brat! If you want money, ask Dad yourself!”
