Chapter 20

"Uncle Zhang, what if it also has the potential of a quasi-Elite Four?"

"Nonsense, that would certainly be valuable, no worse than a Rattata, even much higher, but the question is, is it possible?"

Humans cannot even ascertain the species of a Pokémon egg; they can only distinguish them by the patterns on the shell, let alone test their potential.

"Uncle Zhang, because I heard these are offspring of two quasi-Elite Four Pidgey, so they should have this potential too."

"Heard?"

Zhang De stared at him strangely; could this kid have gone to steal someone else's Pokémon?

"Xiao Jing, you absolutely must not make a wrong move! Money is good, but taking the wrong path is a bottomless abyss!"

Bai Jing rolled his eyes; explaining this was truly troublesome. He should have waited until the Pidgey hatched before bringing it.

"Uncle Zhang, rest assured. Although I'm a bit Hu Nao, my mindset is correct; I won't go astray!"

"How about this, Uncle Zhang? I'll deposit the Pokémon egg with you. When it hatches, you test it again. If it truly has quasi-Elite Four potential then, you give me the money. How about that?"

"Alright. If it's truly as you say, Uncle certainly won't treat you poorly!"

Done. The Pidgey would definitely be bought by some trainer in the end; this way, it could also be considered an explanation to the Pidgey flock.

Returning home, the martial arts hall was empty; the students had already finished class.

"Mom, the family has a new member. Prepare an extra portion of Pokémon food."

The couple walked out excitedly.

"Captured a new partner? Let's see what Pokémon it is?"

"Hehe, don't get scared!"

"Riolu, come out and meet my parents."

"Yo~ Riolu~~"

The couple was dumbfounded!

"This... where did you steal it from?"

Bai Jing rolled his eyes. "If you have the ability, go steal one and show me?"

"No!"

Bai Yutang said blankly, "This is a Riolu, a Pokémon rarer than a pseudo-legendary. You actually encountered one?"

"Is my luck being good not allowed?"

"Allowed. Your luck is truly heaven-defying! By the way, are you really my son? Or did the ancestors of the old Bai family's grave emit green smoke?"

Hua Ying said worriedly, "Son, it's too precious. You must be careful; absolutely do not let hunters target you."

"Mom, rest assured, I know!"

Target me?

Hehe, I'd be delighted if hunters came; that way, I could earn even more bounty money.

Riolu felt depressed; these two humans were quite impolite, not even knowing how to say hello?

"Lu?"

Only then did the couple realize!

"Sorry, Riolu, we neglected you!"

"Welcome to become a member of this family!"

"From now on, Jing'er is entrusted to your protection!"

"Lu lu lu~~~"

Riolu patted its chest and promised: henceforth, whoever wants to harm the master must step over my corpse!

Hua Ying patted the dog's head. "Truly reliable!"

"Wait, Mom will go prepare delicious food for you all!"

Bai Yutang circled Riolu, inspecting it and praising continuously. "Handsome, truly too handsome, just as handsome as me!"

As a martial artist, his favorite was naturally Fighting-type Pokémon, and Riolu could be called the king among Fighting-types.

As for the Slakoth, it was automatically ignored by the couple. Who likes pretending to be a dead fish? Anyone who sees it finds it disgusting!

For dinner, the three humans and two Pokémon sat around a table.

Hua Ying finally didn't completely forget the Slakoth and prepared food for it too.

"Son, can you lend Riolu to Dad for a few days?"

Bai Jing watched him guardedly. "What do you want to do?"

"Of course, to recruit students. Just let it stand at the entrance, and wealth will surely roll in!"

"Right, and then disaster will be recruited too!"

Hua Ying exploded. "Do you want to harm my son? Always coming up with bad ideas!"

Bai Yutang instantly wilted, with not a shred of temper left!

"Dad, give up. Starting tomorrow, Riolu will undergo special training; no time to deal with you!"

"Riolu!"

Riolu also expressed opposition!

"Alright, pretend I never said it!"

Sigh~ As the head of the household, my family status is a bit low!

If I can't uphold the husband's authority, so be it; that's because the tigress is too fierce!

Now even the father's authority doesn't work; truly a desolate life!
