Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

"Alright, with Brother Haoyan's help, this matter is settled!" He Zhen knew Haoyan's personality well; he wouldn't agree easily, but once he did, it was sure to be successful.

He cheerfully took the card from Haoyan's hand, handed it to Ren Hui who was standing next to him, and waved his hand, signaling her to put away the snakeskin in front of her.

A membership card is similar to a bank card.

However, this kind of alliance card is anonymous.

Because the cities in this world are highly independent, there is only one loose alliance to unify the currency.

If you want to raise your own Pokémon, you'll need a huge amount of money to support it.

Acquiring medicinal herbs and reselling them is a good way to make money.

... ...

Chapter 8: Preparing for the two little guys to evolve.

After completing the formalities at Wanhetang, Haoyan went to the fruit wholesale center in Qiuye Town.

They purchased a large quantity of tree fruits and many high-quality ingredients, and then returned home.

Haoyan's home is in the far suburbs of Qiuye Town, relatively close to Yantu Mountain.

Yantu Mountain is a volcano, and the spring water left behind after passing through the hot volcano is rich in minerals.

This is what is commonly known as a hot spring.

Haoyan bought a house specifically at the location of a hot spring stream.

People in this world love to travel and don't stay in one place for very long.

A large villa on 5 acres of land is priced at less than 20 Union Coins.

Excellent value!

Of course, there is no such thing as a land tenure period.

On the way home, flying-type Pokémon flew overhead from time to time.

Each of these flying Pokémon has a trainer sitting on it.

There is a significant speed difference between flying in the sky and walking on the ground.

Haoyan also really wants to catch a Pokémon that can fly.

He already had someone in mind, but this Pokémon was not common in the Hoenn region.

Haoyan didn't just randomly capture a Pokémon to use as a means of transportation.

Because it takes a trainer a lot of time, energy and money to raise a Pokémon.

Capturing one randomly and letting it roam freely doesn't fit Haoyan's personality.

Once captured, they will be carefully nurtured and treated as the closest companions.

... ...

"We're home!" As soon as Haoyan got home, he released two Pokémon.

"Luca!"

"Ralts!" The two Pokémon had been traveling for days and Hao Yan hadn't let them out; they were getting restless inside their Poké Balls.

As soon as I returned to the familiar place, I immediately became cheerful.

"Luca~ Luca~"

"Ralt~ Ralt~" Both Pokémon pointed to the backyard.

In the backyard, there is an open-air hot spring pool.

Haoyan channeled the hot spring water flowing down from Yantu Mountain into his backyard.

After each mission or training session, I would soak in a hot spring to relieve physical fatigue.

"Alright, alright, you two go first, I'll put the things away." Haoyan said gently to the two Pokémon.

"Luca~"

"Laru~" The two little guys immediately ran off happily.

... ...

The warm water flowed over Haoyan's chest, like a gentle caress.

Haoyan soaked comfortably in the hot spring pool, enjoying his leisure time.

Riolu was noticeably more active, treating the hot spring pool like a swimming pool, swimming around.

Fortunately, the hot spring pool was big enough for Riolu to swim freely.

Ralts was relatively quiet and considerate, standing by the hot spring pool, massaging Haoyan's temples with her delicate little hands.

While soaking in the hot spring and enjoying a massage, Haoyan was planning his next move.

"I sold the snake skin of the rice spoon snake and got 70 yuan, which is enough for my living expenses for a month."

70 yuan, a month's living expenses?

An ordinary family might work hard to save money for 10 years, but they might not even have 70 yuan.

For Haoyan, is 70 just a month's living expenses?

That's right, because Haoyan has two little ones to raise.

The two little ones eat and drink only the finest ingredients.

Beef, only N7 grade or higher!

I only drink milk with 4.0g of milk protein!

We only eat the best of the best tree fruits!

Although feeding Pokémon regular food can also satisfy their hunger.

However, Haoyan was unwilling to accept this. Only with good nutrition can Pokémon have better physical strength and willpower to train.

Feeding and nurturing are two different things!

"The next plan is to evolve Xiao Ou into Lucario."

"Let Rukia evolve into Kirlia."

"This trip yielded 2000 reward points, enough to exchange for two potential potions," Hao Yan silently calculated in his mind.

For Riolu to evolve, it must reach a certain level of intimacy with its trainer.

For Ralts to evolve into Kirlia, it's relatively simple; just level it up to 16.

Both Pokémon already possessed the conditions for evolution.

However, Haoyan has been suppressing their evolution.

The purpose is to allow them to unleash all their physical potential during the evolutionary process, so that their growth after evolution will be more obvious.

There are now enough reward points to exchange for the system's potential potion, allowing the potential of both Pokémon to be perfectly unleashed.

"Luca~ Luca~" Riolu stopped swimming and came to Haoyan's side, silently watching him.

"Ralts~ Ralts~" Ralts stopped the massage and, like Riolu, silently looked at Haoyan.

Riolu possesses aura power, enabling it to sense the trainer's thoughts.

Ralts possesses psychic abilities, allowing it to keenly perceive its trainer's thoughts.

They all sensed information about their evolution from Haoyan.

Then they gathered around.

"Hehe, I know you're all looking forward to it."

"Let's rest today, I'll help you evolve tomorrow," Hao Yan said with a smile to the two Pokémon whose eyes were filled with longing.

"Luca~"

"Raru~"

The two Pokémon stopped fighting and started playing happily.

Anyway, with Haoyan around, they don't need to worry about anything.

Just listen to Haoyan's advice.

... ...

Chapter 9: Partner Evolution, Full of Expectations for the Future

The next morning, Haoyan got up very early.

I took Riolu to the yard to warm up, preparing for its evolution later.

Ralts is a Psychic Pokémon; sitting quietly and meditating is the best form of training.

Nine hundred and eighty-three!

Nine hundred and ninety-eight!

"one thousand!"

"Alright, Riolu, take a rest." Haoyan led Riolu through a thousand sit-ups, and Riolu was panting heavily, collapsing to the ground in exhaustion.

For Haoyan, a thousand sit-ups were not the end point at all, and he continued to train at an even faster pace.

Haoyan could do 1000 sit-ups in 15 minutes if he hadn't deliberately slowed down to wait for Riolu.

"Luca~" Riolu responded and watched Haoyan train like crazy with admiration.

After a while, Haoyan's sweat completely soaked the ground; he had finished 2000 sit-ups.

Then he started preparing breakfast for the two Pokémon.

... ...

After warming up and having breakfast, Haoyan stood in the courtyard where he trained with his two Pokémon.
