Ten billion for a Pokémon?
Lin Yun'er frowned slightly. Without a doubt, that must be one of the legendary Pokémon the boss had mentioned.
She couldn't believe it...
At that moment, the door to the backroom opened again, and Gu Xin walked out, accompanied by a floating, greenish-blue creature.
It looked like a tiny dragon with a wide, flat head, a pointed snout, large eyes, a long, slender body, and small arms. Its elongated tail swayed gently in the air.
“This is Dragapult,” Gu Xin introduced as he approached Lin Yun'er.
“It looks a bit strange, but it's kind of cute,” Lin Yun'er said, blinking her bright eyes as she curiously observed Dragapult.
The Pokémon's appearance was indeed peculiar, especially its tail, which swayed with an ethereal lightness.
“Drago~”
Dragapult stared at Lin Yun'er with its large eyes for a moment before turning away to curiously scan its surroundings.
“Beep~ Dragapult, Dragon/Ghost type, Grieving Pokémon
Ability: Clear Body
Moves: Quick Attack, Astonish, Bite, Infestation, Dragon Tail
Once inhabited ancient seas. After being reborn as a Ghost-type Pokémon, it now wanders near its former home.”
Chen Yun immediately pointed his Pokédex at Dragapult and read its entry, his eyes lighting up with excitement.
Dragon and Ghost types!
So Dragapult was a Dragon-type Pokémon with a Ghost attribute—unbelievable!
“That entry sounds spooky,” Ouyang Xin remarked, looking at Dragapult with intrigue.
“Ghost?”
Lin Yun'er was startled. Ghost? What did that even mean?
“It's not an actual ghost, but a Ghost-type Pokémon,” Gu Xin clarified, waving at Dragapult. The Pokémon floated gently onto Gu Xin's arm.
Dragapult's weight was remarkably light, which was expected for a Ghost-type Pokémon.
“So obedient!” Lin Yun'er exclaimed, her eyes fixed on Dragapult. It was so well-behaved!
“Ghost is one of the trickiest Pokémon attributes to deal with. While Dragapult isn't particularly strong in its early stages, its power will skyrocket once it reaches its final evolution,” Gu Xin explained.
Indeed, Dragapult's early-game strength was average, and it often lived in groups for survival. But once it evolved into Dragapult, it became a force to be reckoned with.
Among pseudo-legendaries, Dragapult was a top contender for the strongest, especially in scenarios where Mega Evolution was excluded.
The Ghost attribute gave Dragapult a unique, unpredictable fighting style, while the Dragon attribute provided physical resilience and strength. The combination made Dragapult exceptionally formidable.
“This is the first time someone's drawn a Ghost-type Pokémon, right?”
Chen Yun was envious. Not only was it a pseudo-legendary, but it was also a Dragon and Ghost type—unbelievable luck!
“Yes, and I didn't expect the first Ghost-type Pokémon to be Dragapult,” Gu Xin nodded, glancing at the Pokémon thoughtfully.
He never imagined that the second pseudo-legendary Pokémon would appear so soon.
“Boss, if I buy it, what should I feed it?” Lin Yun'er asked, clearly tempted.
After all, this was her first Pokémon, and it turned out to be a pseudo-legendary. It looked cute and was even a Ghost-type!
Gu Xin smiled. “You can feed it Ghost-type or Dragon-type Energy Cubes, or ideally a mix of both. Energy Cubes are a type of nutritious food available here, specially formulated for Pokémon.”
Lin Yun'er nodded, though she wasn't entirely sure what Energy Cubes were.
“But if you decide to purchase Dragapult, you'll need to pay close attention to its training. Dragapult's growth takes longer than most Pokémon,” Gu Xin added.
Pseudo-legendaries typically required more time to grow compared to regular Pokémon. Dragapult, in particular, had a notoriously steep growth curve.
For example, Pokémon like Dratini and Larvitar required level 30 to evolve into their second stage—a relatively high threshold compared to most Pokémon, which reached their final evolution around that level.
But Dragapult was on another level entirely.
It needed to reach level 50 to evolve into Drakloak, and then level 60 to evolve into Dragapult.
Moreover, Dragapult couldn't learn any new moves through leveling up. Its moveset was limited to those it inherited, along with moves taught via TM or egg moves, most of which were utility-based.
This made Dragapult one of the most challenging pseudo-legendary Pokémon to train.
But once it reached its final form, it underwent a massive transformation—because Dragapult was undeniably powerful!
“I understand,” Lin Yun'er said, deep in thought as she gazed at Dragapult.
Dragon... Ghost...
“Drago~”
Dragapult tilted its small head and let out a soft, low cry as it gazed back at Lin Yun'er, who had been staring at it intently.
“Boss, I'll buy it!”
Finally, Lin Yun'er took a deep breath and made her decision.
It wasn't just Gu Xin and Chen Yun's words that swayed her—she genuinely liked Dragapult.
After all, it was a Ghost!
Despite her gentle and serene demeanor, Lin Yun'er had always been unusually bold and loved exploring supernatural phenomena.
She was the kind of person who could watch horror movies alone at night as if they were romantic comedies.
“A very wise decision. I believe you'll take great pride in this choice,” Gu Xin said with a smile.
“I hope so,” Lin Yun'er replied, her smile pure and radiant.
“Please wait a moment, Boss,” she said apologetically. Though she had her father's credit card, she wanted to inform him first.
“Take your time,” Gu Xin nodded, heading to the counter to prepare Energy Cubes and other items for Dragapult.
“Congratulations, Boss! Another big sale,” Chen Yun teased with a grin. He hadn't expected the deal to go through.
“Indeed, not an easy feat,” Gu Xin replied with a slight smile.
Once this transaction was completed, he would finally achieve his first main mission: reaching a sales milestone of 100 million yuan.
“Boss, today feels lucky. How about letting me draw two more times?” Chen Yun joked.
“Young Master Chen, please don't make things difficult for me. Store policies are set by my predecessor,” Gu Xin replied, half-laughing. Clearly, Chen Yun was itching to try his luck again.
“What a shame,” Chen Yun said wistfully. He'd really wanted to try his luck and maybe draw another pseudo-legendary. Oh well—there was always tomorrow.
“Boss, I'm ready. Swipe the card,” Lin Yun'er said, smiling as she approached the counter after getting her father's approval.
“All set! Thank you for your patronage. Here are two complimentary boxes of Energy Cubes and a Trainer's Handwith essential Pokémon information,” Gu Xin said, handing over the items.
“And as a bonus for purchasing a pseudo-legendary, you'll receive this premium Luxury Ball as a keepsake. Would you like a Pokédex as well?”
“Of course. Can the Energy Cubes be shipped?” Lin Yun'er asked.
“Absolutely,” Gu Xin assured her. After all, Lin Yun'er lived in Hangzhou and wouldn't want to travel to Magic City every time she needed supplies.
“Dragapult, this young lady is your new Trainer now. Be sure to get along well with her,” Gu Xin said gently to the Pokémon.
“Drago~”
Dragapult seemed to understand, floating closer to Lin Yun'er and letting out a soft, affectionate cry.
“Hello, Dragapult,” Lin Yun'er said, reaching out to gently touch it. Its cool, smooth texture surprised her, but seeing Dragapult's calm and content expression, she began softly stroking the Ghost-Dragon hybrid.
What a sweetheart!
“By the way, we have a Trainer group chat. Would you like to join?” Gu Xin asked after Lin Yun'er paid for the Pokédex.
“Sure!” Lin Yun'er replied with a bright smile. She was curious about the other Trainers.
Gu Xin added her to the group.
Gu Boss has invited ‘Miss Yun' to join the chat.
Gu Boss: “Welcome the elegant Miss Yun and her newly acquired pseudo-legendary Dragapult! (warm welcome.jpg)”
Beauty From Small to Tall: “She's here, she's here! The lucky devil is here! Waaaaahhhh! (crying face.jpg)”
Foxy King: “I bow before the wealthy goddess. May I humbly request a look at Dragapult? (puppy eyes.jpg)”
This Young Lady Is a Top School Beauty: “Newbie, send a red envelope! Send a red envelope!! (damn lucky Europeans.jpg)”
Little Birdie: “Waaaaaahhh~ my tears of jealousy won't stop flowing.”
Xin: “...”
...
Lin Yun'er couldn't help but smile as she watched the lively group chat. Her lips curved into a beautiful arc, and her eyes sparkled with delight.
Everyone seemed so enthusiastic!
