Chapter 8

"Most importantly, I managed to tame a Bagon with the potential of a 6V champion!"

It could be said that Su Yu's gains from this trip were simply overflowing.

His trainer career, just getting underway, could be described as smooth sailing.

Even compared to the scions of great families, Su Yu was now hardly inferior.

Upon arriving at his residential compound, Su Yu got off his bike and immediately spotted a familiar figure.

"Yan Ruyue, what are you doing here?"

The girl standing there, resembling a lily flower, was none other than Yan Ruyue.

"Su Yu, you're finally back," Yan Ruyue exclaimed with great joy upon seeing Su Yu.

Su Yu asked somewhat strangely, "What's wrong? Did something major happen?"

Yan Ruyue stepped forward, "After you obtained your starter Pokémon, you didn't report to Uncle and Auntie immediately. They even came looking for you at my house."

"I didn't tell them you went to the Xijiao Power Plant; I was afraid they'd worry about you, so I just said you were visiting a classmate's home."

"Before leaving, Uncle and Auntie said they were going to teach you a harsh lesson."

Only then did Su Yu remember that he had indeed forgotten to call his parents after obtaining his starter Pokémon.

He had originally planned to call in the afternoon, but he became so engrossed in training his Torchic that he completely forgot about it.

Su Yu checked his phone and found numerous missed calls.

Because he had set his phone to silent, he hadn't noticed any of these calls at all.

"Yan Ruyue, I really appreciate you sending me this message."

Su Yu said with some gratitude.

"It's nothing," Yan Ruyue shook her head. "You should hurry back; Uncle and Auntie are very worried about you."

"By the way, how was your haul from the Xijiao Power Plant?"

"The gains were extremely substantial. Well, I'll head back now." Su Yu waved goodbye to Yan Ruyue and quickly rushed toward his home.

"Creak."

After Su Yu returned home, the first thing he saw was his parents sitting solemnly in the living room.

Su Su Wenhai and Li Li Rufang were currently sitting quietly in the living room, their faces as grim as still water.

Upon seeing Su Yu return, they both glanced at him but remained silent.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Su Yu didn't mind and greeted them as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that his parents had no intention of responding, he pretended to head straight for his room.

"Wait!" Finally, Li Li Rufang could no longer sit still.

"Xiao Yu, you've always put Mom at ease; how could you run off today without even saying a word to us?"

Li Su Wenhai also sighed, "That's right. Do you have any idea how worried your mother and I were?"

"Mom, Dad, I went to catch a Pokémon. I got too absorbed and forgot to make the call," Su Yu stated honestly.

"Hmph! I knew it. When Yan Ruyue said you were visiting a classmate, I felt something was off; it turns out she was indeed lying to us."

Li Li Rufang said with some irritation.

"Mom, don't blame her; she just didn't want you to worry about me," Su Yu explained on Yan Ruyue's behalf.

He was afraid Li Li Rufang would dislike Yan Ruyue for lying to them.

"Your mother has lived this many years; do you think I wouldn't understand something like this?"

"Really, not even through the door yet, and she's already conspiring with my son to deceive his parents."

"By the way, Xiao Yu, you said you went to catch a Pokémon?" Li Su Wenhai asked.

"Then how was the result? Let your father evaluate it for you. Also, bring out your starter Pokémon; Yan Ruyue said it was a Torchic, so let's see both of them."

As a trainer, Li Su Wenhai was already eager to know exactly what Pokémon his son had obtained.

Li Li Rufang also looked over curiously at this moment.

Su Yu took out a Poké Ball and released his Torchic.

"Cha-mo!"

As soon as the Torchic appeared, it cried out full of energy.

"Not bad!" Su Su Wenhai nodded in satisfaction.

"The Torchic's spirit and vitality look excellent; its talent should be quite high."

For experienced trainers like Su Su Wenhai, a simple observation was enough to roughly estimate a Pokémon's talent.

He immediately spotted the unusual nature of this Torchic.

"What about the wild Pokémon you caught? What species is it?" Su Su Wenhai continued asking.

"Come out, Shinx."

After a flash of red light, a small Shinx with blue-black fur and large, round eyes finally appeared.

011: Bagon, Shocked Parents!

"It's actually a Shinx? That's a very rare Pokémon. Son, you really have good luck."

"In terms of both appearance and strength, a Shinx is no weaker than some of the starter trios. I didn't expect you to be so lucky, Xiao Yu."

Upon seeing the Shinx, Li Li Rufang couldn't resist walking over to pat its head.

Such a cute little cat instantly captured her heart.

"Both of these Pokémon are excellent; I'll help you plan their diets from now on."

As a Pokémon breeder, Li Li Rufang was very knowledgeable about how to care for Pokémon.

As an elf breeder, Li Li Rufang knew very well how to care for elves.

Moreover, she can create Energy Cubes, helping Pokémon develop even better.

"It seems you had a good haul this time, so I won't scold you further; just remember to tell us in advance next time."

Su Su Wenhai was also very satisfied with Su Yu's two Pokémon; he could see that both were exceptionally outstanding.

They possessed great breeding potential.

"Actually, I have one more little Pokémon. Don't be too surprised when you see this one."

Su Yu said quietly.

"Heh!" Su Su Wenhai scoffed disdainfully. "Your father has traveled north and south for so many years; together with your mother, what kind of Pokémon haven't we seen? You think you can surprise me!?"

"Cut the chatter and release it quickly," Su Su Wenhai said, watching Su Yu calmly.

"Then come out, Bagon!" Su Yu threw out his last Poké Ball.

After a flash of red light, the petite Bagon appeared on the ground.

"Tong-wei!"

As soon as Bagon appeared, it let out a domineering cry.

"This is a Dragon!?" Upon seeing Bagon for the first time, Su Su Wenhai could no longer remain seated.

His previously composed expression shattered in an instant; he sprang up from the sofa with a sudden movement.

At this moment, Su Su Wenhai's heart was churning like a storm-tossed sea.

He never expected his son to bring back a Dragon-type Pokémon!

Even Li Li Rufang put down her Shinx, staring at Bagon with utter shock.

"Xiao Yu, where did you get this Bagon?"

Li Li Rufang asked in astonishment.

Having worked as a breeder for so many years, she had never once seen a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon like Bagon!

Such Pokémon were usually held in the hands of those from great families.

Yet today, Su Yu had actually produced one.

Su Su Wenhai stepped forward, looking left and right, then reached out to touch the skull on Bagon's head.

"This is actually a real Bagon! A Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon!"

It was no wonder Su Su Wenhai was shocked; such Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon could basically only be seen on television.

In all his years, Su Su Wenhai had never observed a Bagon this closely before today.

"Tong-wei~" Feeling Su Su Wenhai's touch, Bagon squinted its eyes and cried out.

Seeing the two of them so shocked, it proudly lifted its head and chest, displaying its posture.
