Magic City.
"If I remember correctly, it should be here, but..."
Wearing a pair of blue shorts, Emma, a young girl with two long, white, slender legs, looked at the store in front of her with her head tilted.
Then she compared it with the address sent from her mobile phone; the location should be correct.
The decoration of the store is quite good, and it looks quite high-end.
But the name of the store introduced by a friend is obviously Maya Pet Store, but the store name is Pokémon House Pet Store?
What does it mean?
And she had never seen the white-gold alpaca cartoon logo next to the store name.
"Forget it, go in and have a look."
Having come this far, Emma walked into the store called Pokémon.
"Welcome."
As soon as she entered the door, a clear male voice entered Emma's ears.
"Hello."
Emma looked curiously; it was a boy with a handsome face and simple clothes, and his demeanor was very clean. He seemed to be about twenty years old.
Afterward, Emma quickly looked around the store. The space in the store is not small, but the floor is also very clean, and the decoration is quite simple.
However, this...
Doesn't this look like a pet store?
A question mark rose in Emma's head. Although it was the first time she came to a pet store, even if it was a clean pet store, there shouldn't be a single pet in the store, right?
"Then may I ask, is your store a pet store?" Emma asked the boy curiously.
"Yes, Miss," Alex replied with a smile. "Please sit down."
Alex took Emma to the lounge area. This is his first guest today!
"Thank you, but in your shop..."
Emma thanked him politely and then expressed her doubts.
"That's right, our store has only opened for two days, and my store is quite special, and the pets it sells are also quite special."
Alex understood Emma's doubts and explained patiently.
"A special pet?"
Emma was stunned for a moment. The common pets are popular cats, dogs, birds, and fish. What about special pets?
Emma immediately thought of exotic pets, and her face showed some discomfort.
She doesn't like pets like that at all!
"Sorry, I don't want to keep a pet. I'd better go to other stores," Emma immediately stood up and apologized to Alex.
"Don't worry, Miss! You may have misunderstood. The pets here are not what you think."
Alex hurriedly said to Emma, "I haven't sold a single Pokémon in the past two days!"
Although this customer looks young, Alex still has some insight.
The bracelet on Emma's hand and the necklace around her neck are worth a lot of money. Obviously, she comes from a wealthy family.
Emma paused and turned her head to look at Alex.
"What I mean by special is that the pets I have here have never appeared on the market."
"Would you like to come and see? It won't waste your time."
Alex said sincerely to Emma.
"Emmmm..."
Emma blinked twice, perhaps because Alex, a clean boy, still gave her a good first impression.
"That's great, but I'll say this first: let's take a look first. If I don't like it, I won't buy it."
"Definitely! I think your choice is the most correct!"
Alex was very moved.
"Pfft~ don't be so polite. We are about the same age. I always feel weird that you always use honorifics."
Emma couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"The customer is always right. Come on, Miss, you can click this."
Alex took the flat-like object on the table and handed it to Emma.
"This is a Pokémon Pokédex. Although my pet store is not very big, there are many types of pets."
"At present, there is no direct choice, but random selection by customers. I have always believed that fate is destined by God."
"Pets are the most sincere companions and friends to accompany people, so who is your friend, Miss? Come and try."
Alex explained to Emma, who looked at him in confusion.
Although it is said to be very high, the simple understanding is that you can only draw randomly and cannot choose freely.
"Ha~ that's quite interesting."
But obviously, language art is so magical, Emma was intrigued by what Alex said.
After taking over the so-called Pokédex, Emma tapped the big 'Go' on the Pokédex screen.
Then the screen began to flick rapidly, and the black shadows of the pictures kept turning on the screen. Although they were all black, the various shapes of the black shadows and corners made Emma quite curious.
And I always feel that some of the shadows seem very strange. Why does the winged one look like the fantasy dragon in Western mythology?
After a few moments, the shadow slowly freezes.
Not only Emma, but Alex also curiously looked over.
Hope it's a cuter guy, not Rattata or Ekans...
Alex prayed in his heart; after all, Emma has already said it straight, she doesn't like crawling pets.
If it was a rattlesnake like Ekans or a cobra like Arbok, the customer would have slipped away again.
"Boss, is it this?"
The picture gradually became clear, Emma asked Alex curiously.
The picture shows a turtle-like creature with a big bald head, a blue body, and a red shell. It looks very cute.
Seeing this, Alex breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, it's Squirtle...
"Yes, Miss, you are very lucky. It's called Squirtle. It is a very suitable and reliable partner for a novice like you."
Alex smiled lightly at Emma.
"It looks really cute, can you show it to me now?"
"Of course, please wait a moment."
Alex gave Emma a slight nod and walked to the stall in the store.
A minute later, Alex came to Emma with a blue little creature.
"Is this it?"
Emma's big eyes lit up as she looked at Squirtle in surprise.
It is far cuter than the one in the picture; the round head and the big watery eyes are full of agility and curiosity.
"Yes, Squirtle, do you like this young lady?"
Alex rubbed Squirtle's head and asked with a smile.
"Squirtle~Squirtle~"
Squirtle blinked, then waved his short paws to greet Emma, expressing his affection with a crisp and tender sound.
"Huh? Turtle's sound is like this?"
Emma was stunned for a moment, but then the light in her eyes brightened, and she immediately put this doubt behind her.
"Wow~ does it still understand you?"
Emma looked at Squirtle in surprise and joy, so smart!
"Yes, Squirtle is a very intelligent creature. Although it can't communicate with you in human language, it can understand what you want to express."
"And Squirtle has a unique skill."
Alex handed Squirtle to Emma, who took it happily.
Curiously and happily, she lightly tapped Squirtle's bald head and cheeks with her fingers, and its skin felt surprisingly good.
"What unique skill?"
"Squirtle, show one for Miss, use the Water Gun."
Alex picked up the disposable paper cup on the side and threw it up.
"Squirtle~"
Squirtle's cheeks bulged, and then a small jet of water shot out, hitting the paper cup in mid-air.
Exactly the Water Gun!
Emma was stunned!
This blue creature can actually Water Spout?
