"Beidou, Kazuha, Yoimiya!"
Three more famous characters.
Hiroshi just came out of the code world for a break and found that it was the three guests he met for the first time, and the smile on his face became brighter.
Big Sister Beidou, the Uncrowned Lord of the Ocean. You are so heroic.
Little Brother Kazuha...
Well, this is the future "Leaf God" who famously blocked the Shogun's Musou no Hitotachi.
Not to mention Yoimiya, the talented fireworks craftsman, the "Queen of the Summer Festival," also known as the "True Queen of Tracking Missiles" in gameplay.
Blonde hair, golden eyes, Kansai accent, bandages, and tattoos.
She looks like a hottie with a high ponytail.
In fact, she is a little angel.
Principles and ingenuity are what Yoimiya values most. Although fireworks are fleeting, the gorgeous light and shadow can remain in people's hearts forever.
It is different from the persistent "Eternity" that Raiden Ei pursues.
The "Eternity" of Yoimiya is closer to the truth of lightning: it is both a moment and eternity.
This is the true meaning of fireworks blooming.
It is precisely because of everyone's support that fireworks can continue to exist in such a beautiful manner.
"Ingenuity."
"Beautiful people and kind hearts."
"Is this the Queen of the Hanamizaka Summer Festival?"
Being stared at by Hiroshi and hearing this praise, Yoimiya was a little shy, but she also had a straightforward and talkative character.
After greeting Hiroshi in a friendly manner, she told Hiroshi that she met a Weedle when she got up today, and then went to visit Liyue Harbor with Beidou and Kazuha, discovering various Pokémon appearing on the street from time to time.
"Besides..."
"I'll go to the General Affairs Office and get paid for the fireworks later."
"Manager Hiroshi, don't worry that I can't pay!"
Yoimiya is a person who has no worries and likes to express her emotions in words. One can hear the confidence of "I am rich (temporarily)" in her tone.
Beidou and Kazuha looked at each other and coughed lightly.
"That money earned from fireworks... may not be enough."
Kazuha said softly.
"The most expensive Pokémon known so far is the Shiny Pseudo-Legendary of Lady Ningguang."
"The selling price is... 1 Billion Mora!"
Yoimiya's eyes nearly bulged out when she heard this, and her tongue was about to get tied up.
"1,000,000,000 Mora?!"
Hiroshi just smiled.
Sorry, this record was technically broken yesterday by Mr. Morax's Kubfu. A Martial Arts Legendary Pokémon who can directly rise to the level of a Sub-Legendary God.
The Old Man used a huge piece of land in Jueyun Karst to exchange for it. It's amazing...
Beidou patted Yoimiya on the shoulder happily.
"Not afraid!"
"If you draw a Pokémon worth 1 Billion Mora, you can take credit, get into debt, and then work for Manager Hiroshi to pay back the money! Or sell yourself to the store!"
Before Hiroshi could say anything...
Hu Tao, who didn't get any good results next to him (drawing 5 Bug-types in a row), made a sharp comment:
"One Billion Mora? Just one case."
"The average cost for a guest here, and the initial value of the Pokémon drawn, is usually only Two to Three Million Mora."
Xiangling tugged at Hu Tao's sleeve.
"Hold it!"
"Hold it back!"
Although the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is eccentric, she rarely gives critical comments to strangers. After all, she is in business and usually friendly.
But today Hu Tao was a bit unbearable and angry. There was no place to vent her frustration about the bugs.
Yoimiya is not a carefree person despite her appearance.
"Haha, I think I've always been lucky..."
Hu Tao rolled her eyes. Very good!
I had that confident face just now too.
Then I was cursed by a certain Bug Girl (Xiangling) and kept drawing Bug-types! I congratulate you on being bug-free today!
"This is the Pokédex."
Hiroshi handed a Pokédex to Yoimiya. After watching her register and authenticate, she clicked on the [START] option on the screen.
[WHO AM I?]
Yoimiya's golden eyes stared at the screen for a moment, as if bright anticipation of fireworks rose within them.
Hiroshi glanced at the white bandages on her chest, then to her delicate face, and praised her aesthetic in his heart.
The phantom on the screen finally settled.
[Ponyta] (The Unique Horn Pokémon - Galarian Form)
Seeing the colorful and blurred Pokémon on the screen, Yoimiya was stunned.
"Eh? Is this a horse?"
"So cute!"
"It seems to be surrounded by brightly colored clouds!"
Hu Tao and Xiangling also came up to watch.
Suddenly, both of them were starry-eyed.
This guy on the screen... is so good-looking!
Just because of its appearance, it beat the five consecutive bugs they just had!
Hu Tao: The more I think about it, the more depressed I become.
It's not strong looking, but it's beautiful.
If you don't even have good looks and beauty, what's the use of you?
Yoimiya fell in love with the horse Pokémon in the first draw at a glance.
"Boss, why is it called a 'Fire Horse' (Ponyta)?"
"It obviously doesn't have any fire breath on it! It looks like cotton candy!"
Yoimiya held the Pokédex in confusion.
Hiroshi: "..."
Another Pokémon with different attributes and a Regional Form after Tartaglia's Alolan Vulpix.
"Its name is indeed Ponyta."
"A normal Ponyta is surrounded by flames."
"But the one you drew has lived in the forests of the Galar region since ancient times. It has been bathed in mysterious life energy for generations, so it has become unique to the Galar region!"
A Regional Variant!
Hu Tao and Xiangling understood immediately.
Hiroshi continued: "It can absorb the life energy in the air and store it in its mane. The more energy is stored, the more colorful and shiny the mane will be."
"The small horn contains healing power. If it is just a small injury, it can be healed by simply rubbing the wound with the horn."
"It can read the other person's heart from its eyes. If it detects evil thoughts, it will disappear in the blink of an eye..."
If Hu Tao and Xiangling knew about Unicorns, they would definitely say that this horse is just a Unicorn from fantasy!
However, according to Hiroshi's detailed description, it's not just Hu Tao and Xiangling...
Even Beidou and Kazuha, who just drew their initial Pokémon yesterday (Beidou got a Machop, Kazuha got a Pidgey)...
They were all amazed by the mystery and power of this Ponyta from the Galar region!
"Can it cure wounds?"
"Can it read people's minds?"
Yoimiya's eyes brightened when she heard this.
"The point is, whether it is a normal Fire-type or the current Psychic-type Ponyta from the Galar region..."
"They are all worth nurturing."
Huh?
This "Unicorn" is a Psychic-type baby!
Hu Tao bit her lip.
It's really annoying to compare people to each other.
She just did five consecutive draws. If a Psychic-type baby came out, she would probably abandon the idea of "Dragon King" without moral integrity.
Immediately fall under the skirt of the Psychic-type Pokémon.
If the Dragon type is noble and fierce, then the Psychic type... is undoubtedly mysterious, weird, and handsome!
Strong Telepathy, Mind Reading, Teleportation... powerful, difficult to defend against, and stunningly cool.
When Hiroshi brought out the beautiful Galarian Ponyta from the back...
Hu Tao and Xiangling took out their Pokédexes to scan it.
Beep!
[Ponyta - Galarian Form]
[Type:] Psychic
[Ability:] Pastel Veil (Protects the Pokémon and its ally Pokémon from being poisoned.)
[Hidden Ability:] Anticipation
[Potential:] Elite Four (Heavenly King)
[Level:] 1 (Cub)
[Moves:] Tackle, Growl
Hiroshi also viewed this Ponyta's data, secretly sighing that this Pastel Veil has some powerful properties—it can actually make itself and the team immune to Poison... Hu Tao's worst nightmare right now!
The key is that the Galarian Ponyta evolves into Galarian Rapidash, which becomes Psychic + Fairy type!
Two powerful attributes!
Yoimiya hugged the Ponyta cub tightly.
"Neigh~!"
The Ponyta raised its front hooves, and the colorful dreamy mane surrounding it fluttered.
It obviously also liked the kind-hearted Yoimiya; its eyes were full of intimacy and trust.
"No wonder it is bathed in the overflowing life energy of the forest..."
Yoimiya had a look of pure enjoyment on her face.
"I hugged the little guy and felt warm and without any burden!"
Hiroshi brought over a food bowl filled with Moomoo Milk. The Ponyta smelled the fresh milk and arched its head in Yoimiya's arms, acting coquettishly.
"OK, OK, drink milk!"
Yoimiya smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into crescent moons. She squatted on the ground, holding her cheeks with her hands, staring at her original Pokémon without blinking.
Beside her...
The sourness in Hu Tao and Xiangling's eyes almost overflowed.
Sour.
This is a star-looking Pokémon with peak aesthetics.
"Manager Hiroshi, how much does it cost? Also, I have to buy enough of the standard resources for breeding in the store, because I may not be able to buy them when I return to Inazuma..."
"Eight Million Mora."
When Hiroshi and Yoimiya went to select breeding resources on the shelves together...
Beidou and Kazuha were also busy visiting the store.
Xiangling couldn't help but take a photo of this "Unicorn"-like Pokémon.
She uploaded it to the Pokémon Home Customer Group Chat.
Xiangling: [Image Attachment]. I announce that the most beautiful and fairy-like Pokémon in this group has arrived!
Klee: ...Is this a horse?
Lisa: It is indeed beautiful and fairy-like. Even I, the Witch, was breathless when I saw it because of its appearance.
Tartaglia: Galarian Ponyta? It's actually a subspecies of the Galar region, just like my Alolan Vulpix... it's extremely beautiful! Today's copy. Here is a picture of my cute pet. [Image Attachment: Alolan Vulpix.jpg]. What do you think? Handsome and beautiful!
Ningguang: In terms of appearance, I have to admit that this Ponyta is very fairy-like... Well, let's ignore the Fatui above for now. The Ice Vulpix is also fairy-like!
Keqing: Another Psychic-type Pokémon?
Outside the Ecological Zone.
Tartaglia, who had already taken Andrei to the nearby wilderness, looked away from the Pokédex screen. He glanced at the Alolan Vulpix who was following closely beside him.
He couldn't help but squat down and touch the Vulpix's snowy fur. Although there was a sour look in his eyes regarding the Ponyta, it was more about his absolute confidence in his own Vulpix.
"Humph!"
"What a Psychic-type Pokémon!"
"Baby, prove to them that you are both beautiful and strong!"
"It's definitely not a vase!"
During this period, Tartaglia's attitude toward his Alolan Vulpix went from initial resentment and disdain (because it wasn't a dragon or a big fighter) to concern, and then to the fanatic fan he is now.
He made up his mind that until the Vulpix evolves into Alolan Ninetales, he will never draw a second Pokémon.
I, the loyal Vulpix Main.
I want to establish an eternal contract and bond with this little fox!
The Alolan Vulpix, who trained hard every day, raised its head and met its master's gaze.
"Vul~!"
(Let's beat them up together, Daddy!)
