Chapter 55: Senior Sister Came to Me Voluntarily
"Alright, Brother Bai, you actually thought of doing something good!"
"I saw it on the Trainer Website."
Orphans are everywhere in any world; in this world, Longguo provides free education for these children, but only education—don't even dream of treatment like White Elf.
For orphans to rise in the world, whether as Trainers or Breeders, they need Pokémon.
Seeing a batch of children graduate without initial Pokémon, the old director had no choice but to post a plea on the Trainer Website, offering a pitifully small reward in Long Coins.
He didn't expect anyone to respond, but Bai Jing happened to see it by accident.
Since he wouldn't be raising those dozen or so Pokémon Eggs anyway, why not give them to those in need and ease the old director's plight?
"Doing good deeds makes me feel light-headed! Brother Bai, I'm treating you to dinner."
"Perfect! It's got to be a feast—five-star hotel, let's go!"
"No way? You're treating us to skewers, but when you're treated, it's a five-star hotel?"
"Correct. It's your honor—cherish it, kid!"
"Heh!"
They arrived at the restaurant and ordered a private room; Bai Jing kept staring at the Dragonite Egg.
"Brother Bai, why are you staring at it so much? And don't you need to give it some healing fluid?"
"No need. It's healthy—and about to hatch!"
"How do you know? Another intuition?"
"Exactly!"
Li Shaobao had no words left to complain!
But as the Pokémon Egg suddenly glowed brightly, he couldn't help but stare in shock!
"Brother Bai, you're incredible!"
"No big deal!"
The Pokémon Egg vanished completely—not even a shell remained—replaced by a tiny Dragonite.
It was strange: the Egg was so small, yet the hatched Dragonite weighed dozens of jin, far larger in size—no one knew how it had fit inside.
Truly a miraculous species—no wonder they're called Pokémon!
"Dragonite, welcome to this wonderful world!"
"Mii~"
While still inside the Egg, Bai Jing had already communicated with it via Waveguide, so they were already familiar with each other.
He first offered it food, then stored it inside a Poké Ball.
Thus, Bai Jing now had his third Pokémon.
After dinner, the two wandered around some more; by the time they returned to the dorm, it was evening.
"Back? How'd it go?"
"Great—I snagged a Dragonite."
Both fell silent. Could such a rare Pokémon really be snagged by chance?
Li Shaobao sighed: "You guys didn't come with us today, or you'd believe the Lucky Goddess really has a thing for Bai Jing!"
"What do you mean?"
"Originally, Bai Jing hadn't picked any Egg he liked—but just as he was about to leave, someone came up selling a Dragonite Egg. Because it had been burned, the price couldn't be agreed on, so Bai Jing got it cheap—for 800,000 Long Coins."
"Tell me, isn't this the Lucky Goddess's deliberate arrangement?"
"Can you even do that?"
Feng Feiyi asked: "Brother Bai, do you often pick up cash while walking?"
Bai Jing shook his head. "Nope. I've never picked up a single cent."
Hearing this, the three felt slightly better—until he added another sentence.
"I didn't pick up cash, but I've found plenty of gems and Evolution Stones."
"Damn!"
At this moment, cursing was the only way the three could express their inner emotions.
Li Shaobao pulled out the Pidgey Egg, beaming: "This is what Bai Jing picked for me—with the Lucky Goddess's blessing, the quality must be top-notch!"
Bai Jing said coolly: "You're overestimating. At best, it's quasi-Tianwang—if it were better, I wouldn't have ignored it."
"What? You don't even want quasi-Tianwang? I don't have your standards!"
"By the way, Brother, Bai Jing picked one for you too."
"Huh?"
Tie Xiong exclaimed: "I get one too?"
Bai Jing pulled out the Pokémon Egg. "This is yours. I feel its quality is about the same as Li Shao's."
"This… how can I accept it?"
"Just take it. What's there to be polite about?"
"Then I'll be shameless and take it!"

Tie Xiong would silently cherish this bond in his heart.
"What Pokémon is this?"
"The perfect mount for you—Little Sheep!"
Tie Xiong beamed. "Thank you, Brother Bai—you thought of everything!"
Feng Feiyi stared hopefully: "What about mine?"
"Aren't your goals at least Legendary? You're giving away Top Three Pokémon—you wouldn't even want one even if I bought it for you!"
"I… who said I don't want a Semi-Legendary? Isn't it fine to have a second-tier Pokémon? As for that Top Three, I certainly don't care if it only has elite potential!"
"Uh… you should've clarified earlier! Next time, next time I'll pick one to give you!"
"Alright! With Brother Bai's luck, getting a good Pokémon is easy! Let's go eat first!"
"Come on, I'm in a good mood—I'll take you guys out for a feast!"
"Don't tell me it's just grilled skewers again!"
After returning from dinner and stepping through the school gate, Bai Jing froze.
Because the senior from last night stood there, elegant and poised, clearly waiting for someone!
Could she be waiting for me?
Bad—she's going to latch onto me!
No, I have to run!
