Gu Xin had long noticed that the system's prize pool for customers consisted almost entirely of Pokémon in their base forms. So far, no evolved Pokémon had ever been drawn.
In this context, Pokémon like Lapras—without an evolutionary line but possessing power comparable to Charizard—were undoubtedly standout prizes.
And now, another one had appeared so soon.
“This one looks so cool! It seems really powerful,” Zheng Xiuyan said, her eyes gleaming as she stared at the image of the Pokémon in the Pokédex. Lin Yun'er had called it a bird?
She couldn't agree less.
This thing looked more like a flying dragon—or a pterosaur!
“It is indeed very powerful. This Pokémon is on par with Miss Bai's Lapras from yesterday,” Gu Xin explained with a smile.
“It's called Aerodactyl, a Rock and Flying-type Pokémon, and it's very strong.”
Yes, Lin Yun'er had drawn an Aerodactyl!
Just like Lapras, Aerodactyl had no evolutionary line and boasted a base stat total of over 500. It also had the potential to Mega Evolve, making it a truly formidable Pokémon.
“Aerodactyl? That name sounds so imposing.”
“It really is a pterosaur!”
Lin Yun'er and Zheng Xiuyan's eyes sparkled with excitement. The name alone sounded impressive!
“And not just the name. Aerodactyl is an ancient Pokémon from prehistoric times. Wild Aerodactyls are nearly extinct in the modern day and can only be revived from fossils and amber.”
“It is considered by many as the ruler of the ancient skies, freely soaring through the heavens with a ferocious temperament.”
Gu Xin continued with a smile. Aerodactyl indeed carried a lot of prestige.
In fact, the Moon version Pokédex described Aerodactyl as the ruler of the skies in ancient times. Some scholars believed that its Mega Evolved form represented its true appearance and power from the prehistoric era.
The theory went that Aerodactyls revived from fossils had incomplete genes, with Mega Evolution restoring their original majesty.
Whether this was true or not was anyone's guess.
But one thing was certain: Aerodactyl was an outstanding Pokémon.
“Emmm… it does look pretty fierce,” Lin Yun'er murmured, scrutinizing the image of Aerodactyl in the Pokédex.
“It's really fierce,” she added.
“Miss Lin, you don't have to worry about that. The Pokémon provided here are guaranteed to have manageable temperaments. None of them will be excessively aggressive,” Gu Xin reassured her.
While Aerodactyl was known for its ferocious and predatory nature, Pokémon from Pokémon Home were preconditioned to have milder temperaments.
At most, they might be a bit energetic.
After all, if a customer drew a Pokémon that refused to acknowledge them, it would damage the shop's reputation. The system would never allow such a thing to happen.
Of course, if a customer took their Pokémon home and neglected it, causing the Pokémon to abandon them, that was another matter entirely.
In such cases, Gu Xin would simply smile and say, “Our shop takes no responsibility.”
After all, if a Pokémon willingly left its trainer, it said more about the trainer's shortcomings.
If Gu Xin refrained from throwing a shoe at such people, it was only because of his professional standards.
“Then I'm relieved! Boss, I'll take this Aerodactyl!”
Lin Yun'er's sweet smile radiated as she made her decision.
She trusted Gu Xin—he was the professional, after all.
“Please wait a moment.”
Gu Xin nodded and stepped into the back room.
Moments later, the door reopened, and a gray flying dragon spread its wings as it emerged.
“Rua~!”
The deep, resonant roar echoed with undeniable power, reaching Lin Yun'er and Zheng Xiuyan.
“This is way too cool!” Lin Yun'er exclaimed, her excitement barely contained.
Zheng Xiuyan watched as the Aerodactyl landed gracefully, her excitement barely contained.
Its appearance was undeniably cool!
The Aerodactyl resembled a dragon straight out of Western fantasy—gray body, purple accents on its wings, small claw-like structures at the tips of its wings, and rows of jagged teeth.
“It looks even more impressive in real life than in the picture!”
Lin Yun'er covered her mouth with her hand, her gaze shifting up and down the Aerodactyl's figure.
Its size was no joke. By her estimation, the standing Aerodactyl's height nearly reached her shoulder.
There was no doubt in her mind that this Aerodactyl could easily pick her up with its strength.
“Impressive, right? And as a Flying-type Pokémon, Aerodactyl can even be used as a mount for riding,” Gu Xin said with a light chuckle, holding a box of Energy Cubes.
“Rua~”
The Aerodactyl, seemingly enticed by the aroma of the Energy Cubes, lowered its body and stared intently at the box.
“These are for you,” Gu Xin said, smiling as he placed the box on the ground.
The Aerodactyl immediately lowered its head and began to eat, clearly enjoying the meal.
“Boss, are you saying that Aerodactyl can carry people?”
Lin Yun'er asked, her eyes fixed on the Aerodactyl as it ate. Despite its intimidating appearance, it didn't seem aggressive at all!
The idea of riding an Aerodactyl—how exciting would that be?
“Of course. With Aerodactyl's size, carrying one or two people is no problem at all.”
“As long as the Pokémon's size and strength are sufficient, any Flying-type Pokémon can carry people,” Gu Xin explained matter-of-factly.
Aerodactyl's size made carrying these two girls a non-issue.
Besides, this Aerodactyl wasn't even fully grown yet—it could still get larger.
“Amazing!” Zheng Xiuyan said, her gaze filled with envy as she looked at the Aerodactyl.
Lin Yun'er's luck was simply explosive. First, she drew Dragapult, and now Aerodactyl?
Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help but feel a little jealous—or perhaps even a tad bitter.
Beep~ Aerodactyl, Rock and Flying-type, Fossil Pokémon.
Ability: Rock Head.
Moves: Bite, Ancient Power, Supersonic, Dragon Breath.
It is said to be a ferocious Pokémon that soared through the skies of ancient times, its roars echoing high above. It knows no fear.
Zheng Xiuyan pointed her Pokédex at the Aerodactyl, and after listening to the description, she couldn't help but be in awe.
So strong!
Comparing it to her Snivy made her realize just how much of a beginner baby her Snivy was.
“Boss, how much is Aerodactyl? I want to pay now!”
Lin Yun'er didn't even want to risk Gu Xin changing his mind.
Though she adored cute and cuddly Pokémon, who could resist a majestic flying dragon like Aerodactyl?
At the very least, it was a pterosaur—an actual Cretaceous-era pterosaur!
So cool!
And this Aerodactyl wasn't just a regular pterosaur—it was a supernatural creature with elemental powers!
“For Aerodactyl… 400,000 yuan,” Gu Xin said after a moment's thought.
Aerodactyl was an incredibly rare Pokémon, typically only revivable from fossils and amber. Even then, its qualities were unpredictable.
But this Aerodactyl had extraordinary potential and could even Mega Evolve. The price was justified.
“Take my card!” Without a second's hesitation, Lin Yun'er shoved her card into Gu Xin's hands, fearing he might refuse.
Then, carefully holding a box of Rock-type Energy Cubes, she approached the Aerodactyl.
“Rua?”
“Don't worry, buddy. We're partners now. Here, try this,” Lin Yun'er said softly, extending the Energy Cubes despite her heart racing as Aerodactyl fixed its gaze on her.
“Dragapult~” Dragapult floated over to Aerodactyl, cheerfully greeting its new “little” teammate.
“Rua~”
As it turned out, even a prehistoric predator could be won over with food and shelter.
Aerodactyl sniffed the Energy Cubes before eagerly devouring them, showing no resistance to Lin Yun'er's approach.
“Mom, Dad, your daughter has made it big!”
Lin Yun'er finally reached out, gently stroking Aerodactyl's head. The rough texture felt so real that her smile stretched ear to ear.
An Aerodactyl!
“Take your time, buddy. Let me know if you need more—I'll make sure you're well-fed!”
“Rua!!!”
“So cute!”
Cute? My foot!
Zheng Xiuyan watched enviously as Lin Yun'er bonded with Aerodactyl. She wanted to pet it too, but the moment she got close, Aerodactyl paused its eating and stared at her warily.
Seriously? Do you have to be this hostile? You're playing favorites!
“Oh~ It looks like you're getting along well,” Gu Xin said with a light laugh, noting how quickly Lin Yun'er had won over Aerodactyl.
“Hehe~ Boss was right. It may look fierce, but it's actually very docile,” Lin Yun'er said, her face glowing with happiness.
“I have to share this!”
Snapping a photo of herself and Aerodactyl, Lin Yun'er opened the Pokémon Home group chat.
Miss Yun: “Ta-da~ Meet our newest member, Aerodactyl! Isn't it cool?”
Bird-Like Elegance: “(O_O) Aerodactyl?”
Beautiful Since Birth: “Holy crap, a flying dragon? Why does yours look so badass?”
Miss Yun: “Hehe~ Aerodactyl has no evolutions, so I got it in one draw! Boss even said it was the ruler of the ancient skies. Isn't that amazing?”
Larvitar Is Not a Foodie: “That design is so cool… Suddenly, Onix doesn't seem so exciting anymore…”
Fox Among Humans: “With all due respect, Miss Yun, using your lifespan to draw Pokémon like this is inadvisable. It's a great psychological blow to us ordinary folks. Please reconsider next time.”
Lin Sheng typed with utmost sincerity. Seriously, how does she do it?
First, she drew Dragapult, a pseudo-legendary Ghost Dragon. Now, she's drawn Aerodactyl?
What is this sorcery?
Is this even fair?
