Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

After learning that Kitagawa Yu and his friends bought Pokémon mainly for battle, the shop assistant unsurprisingly started introducing Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle to them.

Although there are so many of these three Pokémon, they are indeed the most suitable starter Pokémon for children who aspire to become Pokémon Trainers.

While possessing decent combat strength, they are not difficult to train, and most importantly, they have extremely high potential. Their final evolutions, Venusaur, Blastoise, and Charizard, are all common Pokémon with very high base stats.

"Huh, why are all those little fire dragons running over here?"

The shop assistant, who was introducing the products, suddenly gasped softly. Then, she looked on in surprise as the eight little dragons that had been playing freely in the shop suddenly ran towards them and surrounded Artoria.

This unusual scene was also noticed by Kitagawa Yu and the others.

However, compared to the shop assistant's surprise, they remained very calm knowing that Artoria possessed the Dragon Factor.

"It seems these little dragons are quite fond of Artoria. Why don't you buy one, Artoria?" Kitagawa Yu said with a smile.

Upon hearing that the sales target was about to be achieved, the saleswoman immediately abandoned her curiosity and her smile became even more enthusiastic.

“Okay!” Artoria nodded, not rejecting Kitagawa Yu’s suggestion.

She had already checked the information on Charmeleon and Charizard, the evolutions of Charmander, using the Pokédex while the shop assistant was introducing them.

Charizard is one thing, but Charizard is truly formidable.

Besides its fire-type abilities, it is also very strong in close combat, and it has extremely fast flight capabilities. Most importantly, it is a dragon.

Even if it's a tiny bit smaller, it's still a dragon!

After reading about Charizard, she even considered buying all the little dragons so that once they were all trained, they could form a Charizard army. Even in the Type-Moon world of her time, their strength would be formidable.

However, while the starter Pokémon are quite common, that doesn't mean they're cheap! A Charmander of average quality can cost as much as 36, while a better quality one, like the Charmander that has mastered Flame Vortex at level 13, can cost a whopping 80!

Although they robbed Kojiro and his friends, they still had over seven million yen left. However, others needed to buy Pokémon, so they couldn't just give it all to her alone.

Seeing the conflicted look in her eyes, Kitagawa Yu guessed what she was thinking. He stepped forward, took her soft little hand, squeezed it twice, and said with a smile, "Charmanders aren't very common in the wild, but they're easy to buy if you have money. So as long as we earn more money, you can buy as many Charmanders as you want!"

"Hmm," Artoria glanced at him quickly, then responded softly. Feeling the warmth from his palm, her previously steady heartbeat suddenly became a little erratic.

"Hey, hey, that's enough! Hurry up and pick out a little dragon!" The shop assistant couldn't help but shout in her heart as she watched the two of them flaunting their love in public.

Artoria, perhaps sensing her thoughts, quickly selected a small fire dragon after a brief moment of observation. Although it was only level 7, it was very strong and its tail flames looked the brightest. She then bought it.

The shop assistant stopped complaining and happily continued to introduce the products to Kitagawa Yu and his friends.

However, apart from Artoria choosing Charmander because she values ​​strength and likes dragons, Bulbasaur and Squirtle, although strong, don't quite fit everyone's aesthetic preferences, so no one plans to buy these two Pokémon.

However, the store had over sixty different kinds of Pokémon, so after browsing around, they each found their favorite Pokémon.

In addition to the little fire dragon, Artoria also chose a little fire horse. Although being entirely fire-type might seem a bit one-dimensional, a knight definitely needs a powerful mount, right?

"Speaking of which, could this guy be planning to equip all her Knights of the Round Table with a little fire horse or a blazing horse? That would be awesome!" Kitagawa Yu thought with amusement.

Chizuka and Elena both chose an Eevee that could evolve into different forms. In addition, Chizuka also chose an Electric-type Pokémon, Emolga, which looked like a squirrel and was imported from another region. Elena chose Ralts, the most expensive Pokémon in the store and the only one available.

"They say a Pokémon's personality is influenced by its trainer. What if the originally shy and introverted Ralts grew up to look like Irelia? That would be interesting."

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but imagine a Ralts or Gardevoir narcissistically saying "more beautiful than the sun," and he got goosebumps all over.

Next, Illya chose a Bubble Squirrel and a Lilyroot Doll. Both of these Pokémon were imported from other regions.

The foam chinchilla resembles a squirrel, except for its exceptionally large ears. It's entirely gray, with a thick tuft of fur on its head, ears, and neck, making it look irresistible. As for its fighting ability... well, let's not even go there.

The lily root doll is mostly green. Its round head and stripes make it look like the bulb of an onion-like plant. It has three oval leaves on its head, making it look like a cute doll.

However, its combat strength is not very good; it is probably weaker than Oddish and Bellsprout.

It's not until it evolves into Miss Skirt that its base stats and combat power increase significantly, but it's still mainly kept as a pet.

It's worth mentioning that the evolved Miss Skirt can emit many different fragrant scents with different effects, making her excellent in healing and support.

The evolved form of the foam squirrel, the Chino squirrel, is not only cuter in appearance, but also secretes a fragrant, moisturizing, and whitening oil.

This oil is very effective, so it is very expensive in the high-end market.

This also makes these two Pokémon, despite their mediocre combat abilities, extremely expensive, with each costing over a million.

After learning the price, Ilya originally wanted to buy only one, but seeing her conflicted expression, Kitagawa Yu smiled and patted her head, and bought both of them.

Since he already has a very powerful Psyduck, he can just buy one less Pokémon later and only buy one.

However, Matou Sakura seemed to have seen through his thoughts, so she only chose a Meowth that was priced similarly to a regular Charmander, wanting to give the remaining purchase slot to Kitagawa Yu.

Of course, while Meowth's strength is only average, it's quite cute. It has thick gray fur, but its eyes have beautiful pink sclera and purple pupils.

Furthermore, Meowth's strength will greatly increase after evolving into Psychic Meowth.

Male Psychic Meowth excels in defense, while female Psychic Meowth excels in attack. The female Meowth she chose, after evolving into Psychic Meowth, if not poorly trained, could even tear apart a 70-80 meter long cruise ship with a single full-force attack using her psychic power, which is quite impressive among Psychic Pokémon.

Kitagawa Yu felt a warmth in his heart after learning of her feelings.

He didn't want Matou Sakura to be modest, but seeing her stubborn look, he had no choice but to accept her kindness.

After some thought, Kitagawa Yu chose a Growlithe, which was very common and popular, but cheaper than Charmander. He planned to dye it when he got back and give it to Anya as a pet.

Then I chose a Magikarp.

That's right. Looking at the remaining 300,000 yuan, and after deducting the food and accommodation expenses for the six people on the road, Kitagawa Yu felt that he should take a gamble. What if the bicycle turned into a motorcycle?

Although Magikarp has a body made of bronze and iron, all it does is splash around aimlessly. Despite being a water-type Pokémon and a fish, it can only helplessly be swept away by the current in fast-flowing water. It is almost certainly the weakest and most pitiful Pokémon in the world.

However, its evolved form, Gyarados, is truly powerful.

Charizard's base stat total is only 534, while Gyarados has a higher base stat total of 540.

Furthermore, although Gyarados does not have wings, it can still fly, and its flight speed is not slow. In addition, it is a water-type Pokémon, making it a very rare Pokémon that can exert its full combat power in sea, land, and air environments.

In addition, Gyarados's skills are also very powerful. Once it evolves, it can master a very powerful tornado. With a little training, the tornado can evolve into a hurricane, which can affect the celestial phenomena within a range of more than ten kilometers.

He can also automatically learn Hyper Beam, one of the strongest special-type attack moves, which is much more powerful than Charizard's signature move, Flame Abyss.

Most importantly, Magikarp has a high chance of evolving into Gyarados without needing to reach level 20, as long as its rage level is extremely high. This is much faster than normal leveling up!

Chapter 215 The Unlucky Team Rocket

In less than two hours, Musashi, Kojiro, and Meow Meow had almost squandered their entire year's salary. However, Kitagawa Yu wasn't bothered, since the money was all free.

He was even considering whether to rob the two people and the cat again.

"I wonder if the Rockets will accept a contract to sell themselves. If they do, let's just hypnotize these three guys and sell ourselves."

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but think maliciously.

Meanwhile, in the flower bushes near the Pokémon Center, the two people and the cat who were fast asleep seemed to sense something, and they couldn't help but shiver and wake up.

Two minutes later, the two people and the cat finally regained their senses and, recalling what had happened, looked at each other and simultaneously let out a mournful scream.

A year's salary! Just like that, it was stolen! This completely shattered their mental state.

"Those two guys are so despicable and shameless!"

"Not only did they steal our lines, they even robbed us of our wages!"

"Damn it! How can there be people in this world who have even less martial ethics than us!"

"Damn it! We have to find them and get our wages back, meow!"

"That's right! That's a year's salary in advance!"

"."

The distance was too great, and Kitagawa Yu obviously couldn't know that the two people and the cat who wanted to come were now furious and wanted to seek revenge.

But even if he knew, he wasn't worried at all.

Putting aside their own strength, even in a simple Pokémon battle, they would not lose to Kojiro and his two companions now.

At the same time, he finally understood why Musashi and Kojiro preferred to build machines rather than buy more powerful Pokémon for battle.

Because Pokémon are not only expensive to sell, but raising them is also like maintaining a car – it's not cheap either.

Many Pokémon can eat human food just like humans, but their appetites are much greater. For example, an Onix can eat the equivalent of 30 people's worth of food in one meal, which is something most people can't afford to keep.

So Brock makes his own Pokémon food, which saves him a lot of money. But most people still have to buy it from stores.

So keeping one or two is fine, but keeping more is really unaffordable, unless you can buy an entire mountain like Professor Oak and let them roam freely.

After spending another 15 yen, enough to buy enough food for these Pokémon to eat for 10 days, Kitagawa Yu and his six companions left the Pokémon shop recommended by Nurse Joy.

At this point, Kojiro and his crew had only received 900 yen of the 13 million yen salary they had advanced.

The others, including Kitagawa Yu, didn't seem to care much about the number, but Elena, who was a bit of a money-grubber, was heartbroken.

"Yuu, where are we going next?"

"What are your thoughts?" Kitagawa Yu asked deliberately, a smirk playing on his lips as he looked at her pained expression.

"Why don't we go make some money first!" Elena suggested without much thought. However, the 'making money' she was referring to was probably not a legitimate method.

So Kitagawa Yu shook his head again.

If it were just robbing bad guys like Team Rocket, that would be fine, and Artoria wouldn't say anything. As for those with more flexible moral principles, she wouldn't care at all.

However, if it were just ordinary swindling and deception, even if the targets were wealthy people, Artoria, as a noble knight, would still find it unacceptable.

Although as Kitagawa Yu's knight, she probably wouldn't physically stop him, she would definitely have some thoughts in her mind.

Kitagawa Yu didn't want to lower her image in Artoria's eyes for such a small amount of money, so she had to find other ways to make money.

For example, selling Pokémon.

These Pokémon shops also offer Pokémon buyback services, but they only buy back Pokémon that cannot be bred in captivity and can only be caught in the wild, such as Ralts and Meowth.

Besides these, there are the evolved forms of Pokémon.

Because Pokémon need to go through constant battles to grow and evolve, most Pokémon in Pokémon shops only have their initial forms; the advanced forms can only be obtained by acquiring them from trainers.

In addition, some other companies also acquire evolved Pokémon.

For example, beauty salons may acquire the Chino squirrel, an evolution of the foam squirrel, and collect the precious oils secreted by them to make beauty products.

A basic form of Cinnamon costs only 100 million yen, while an evolved Cinnamon costs a whopping 1800 million yen and is still hard to find.

The difference is a full 18 times.

In addition, the evolved form of Lily and Doll, Miss Skirt, is also very popular with large medical institutions and is very expensive.

Therefore, it's quite easy to make money by catching some rare Pokémon in the wild, or some evolved forms that are difficult to evolve.
