Kaito watched Arbok with cold eyes. The serpent thought it was well-hidden, but Kaito, possessing Viridian Power, was extremely sensitive to auras and had already detected its presence. Since it dared to attack Growlithe, there was no need to be polite.
"Encore Flame Wheel!"
Growlithe didn't hesitate, once again transforming into a ball of flame and charging towards Arbok.
Bang!
Arbok is unable to battle!
Growlithe had eaten quite a few Exp. Candies that morning, so after defeating Arbok, he gained experience and was promoted to Level 24.
Kaito casually threw out a Poké Ball and recalled Arbok. He didn't care for the Arbok; he didn't plan to raise it as his own Pokémon but rather to take it to the Pokémon Center in town.
This Pokémon Center was more comprehensive than those depicted in the original Pokémon games. Its functions included, but were not limited to: buying and selling items, healing Pokémon, and accepting and issuing quests. Pokémon that actively attacked people could be taken to the Pokémon Center for processing, and a portion of money could be obtained. Since Psychic-type Pokémon were often employed by staff, they could easily discern the truth of matters, preventing false accusations against people or Pokémon.
The system notified: Quest Completed: Battle and defeat a Pokémon. Quest Reward: Ten Potion Sprays.
Arbok was just a minor interlude; no more Pokémon attacks were encountered afterward, and Kaito quickly arrived at the town.
Xinyuan Town
Xinyuan Town was mostly comprised of small self-built houses or one- or two-story bungalows; at a glance, it was all classic rural architecture. This was the outer area, mostly inhabited by farmers. A large portion of the area was people's pastures, where many families raised cattle and sheep.
Closer to the inner area, the architectural style changed, with several more modern buildings appearing, including the Pokémon Center.
Without much hesitation, Kaito went straight to the Pokémon Center, then sold the Moon Stone and Pearls he had on hand. He needed cash for a big shopping trip, so he naturally had to exchange these items. He didn't need the Moon Stone now; he would cash it in first, and if he needed it later, he could buy it through the system.
After this series of transactions, Kaito received over two million Alliance Coins. He instantly became an overnight millionaire! The Moon Stone provided by the system was of extremely high quality, so its price was significantly higher than ordinary Moon Stones.
His wallet suddenly swelled. With money, a man's steps became lighter. In his previous life, his savings had never exceeded five digits. After coming to this world and regaining his memories, he had seven-digit savings the very next day.
With money, it was natural to go on a big shopping spree. But Kaito didn't go directly to the pasture; instead, he went to a general store. The general store looked a bit old, indicating it had been open for many years, and many townspeople loved to shop there.
Looking inside, it was empty. Kaito called out loudly twice. "Xiao Ye, is Xiao Ye in?"
His voice created ripples, and finally, there was movement. "Coming, coming."
A few breaths later, a youthful and beautiful figure emerged. Xiao Ye had a pure, first-love-like face, an oval face, and a neat single ponytail. She wore simple sportswear, and her exposed skin was a healthy wheat color, tanned from helping out at home.
Xiao Ye was his childhood friend. The two had known each other since childhood; he often ran to town to find Xiao Ye to play when he was little.
Seeing Kaito arrive, Xiao Ye smiled sweetly, like a sunflower blooming in a field. "It's Brother Kaito. It's been a while since we last met, and you don't come to see me more often." She pretended to be angry, hands on her hips, pouting. "Sure enough, what you said when we were little, about always staying with me, was a lie, wasn't it?"
"How could that be? Didn't I rush to see you as soon as I inherited the farm?"
Xiao Ye recalled the old man's passing, her pretty face subtly changing, and she said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I made you remember sad things."
"It's fine, it's all in the past. Now I will inherit the old man's will and make the farm flourish."
Seeing that Kaito had moved past his sadness, Xiao Ye was also very happy. Especially hearing that Kaito would continue to run the farm, a hint of joy bloomed in Xiao Ye's heart, as if she had eaten a piece of honey candy.
At Kaito's feet, Growlithe looked at the various snacks in the store, like a Bear Pokémon encountering honey, its small nose twitching slightly, involuntarily moving closer.
Kaito pinched its snout. "Don't rush, we'll eat after we buy them. Give me one of each of these snacks."
Having received the long-awaited snacks, Growlithe began to feast, and Kaito chatted with Xiao Ye.
"I remember you, Xiao Ye, have a channel for collecting Wawangu rice, right?"
"Yes, Brother Kaito, do you grow Wawangu rice?"
Most of Xiao Ye's family's goods were sourced from Wende Company, and Wende Company was currently buying a large amount of Wawangu rice. Wende Company was a comprehensive company involved in a wide range of industries.
After some discussion, he and Xiao Ye agreed that Wende Company personnel would come in two days to collect the Wawangu rice. As for the price, it would depend on the quality of the Wawangu rice.
After a long time, Kaito waved goodbye.
Xiao Ye stood quietly at the storefront, watching Kaito's figure gradually disappear down the street, feeling a little empty inside. A gentle breeze blew, lifting a banknote exposed beneath a nearby clay pot.
Xiao Ye paused slightly, then gave a wry smile. "I told him not to pay. But he still paid... Brother Kaito is really something."
With over two million Alliance Coins in hand, Kaito is ready for his shopping spree. What Pokémon will he decide to buy for his farm? 🤔
