Chapter 47 Living Together with Hikari
"Thump~ thump~ thump~~"
"Whose imperial engine is beating? Oh, it's Plantina!"
Lin Ye realized that his action of putting his arm around the other person's shoulder seemed a bit ambiguous, so he let go and asked Plantina if she was injured.
The latter paused for a moment, then blushed and said, "It's alright, it's all thanks to Mr. Lin Ye!"
"You're welcome. We've fought side by side, so don't call me 'Mr.', just call me by my first name!"
"Hmm~, okay, then Lin Ye, you don't need to call me by my full name. I actually have a nickname, Xiao Guang, that's what close people call me. You can just call me Xiao Guang too~"
As she spoke, Prantina's voice grew softer and softer, and her face turned even redder!
At that moment, cheers erupted in the street as people gathered around to thank Lin Ye and Plantina.
Prandina was a little embarrassed by the praise and waved her hands repeatedly, while Lin Ye took the opportunity to use the contract to send a telepathic message to the Snow Fairy, asking her to find a Scorpion to inquire about the situation.
Moments later, the police from Lilycove City finally arrived at the scene. The leader was a young woman whose appearance looked very familiar; she was none other than Officer Jenny, who was in charge of Lilycove City!
She looks about the same age as Qiao Yijing, but she handles problems very efficiently.
She first directed her officers to disperse the crowd, then arrested and detained the group of Scorpions. After learning that it was Lin Ye and Plantina who had taken action, she went up to offer her condolences.
"Many thanks to Mr. Lin and Miss Plantina for their chivalrous act! I will apply to my superiors to have them recognized as heroes and receive a reward."
"Miss Officer Jenny, you're too kind. This is what we should do. As for any reward, use it to compensate these shops and settle these Scorpions."
The young lady clearly didn't care for these rewards and rejected them right away, but then suddenly realized that Lin Ye hadn't expressed his opinion yet, so she immediately said:
"I'm so sorry~, I haven't asked Lin Ye's opinion yet!"
"Xiao Guang is right. Let's use this reward to help those in need and Scorpio."
Seeing that Xiao Guang had already said that, Lin Ye simply gave up on the reward.
"You two are truly of noble character! On behalf of the official government of Sierra Leone City, I salute you."
Officer Jenny's eyes revealed admiration. After thanking the two of them, she said she needed to investigate the whole story and it wouldn't be good for her to stay any longer, so she took her leave.
At this point, Lin Ye turned to Plantina and asked solemnly, "What do you plan to do about Gastly, Hikari?"
Plantina said very seriously, "Gastly, are you really unwilling to come with me?"
Gastly did not show itself, but instead extended a black hand formed from ghostly mist from Lin Ye's shadow and pointed in the opposite direction.
Seeing this, Plantina didn't show any sadness or anger; instead, she smiled magnanimously.
"Never mind, since Gastly likes you so much, and Lin Ye, you must be a good person, then I have nothing to worry about."
"I've made up my mind. I'll just let it go here and respect Gastly's own choice!"
Lin Ye hadn't expected Plantina to give up so decisively, and asked, "What about all that investment you put into Gastly before?"
"Oh, right! This little guy can eat quite a lot. It must have cost you a lot, Lin Ye."
Here, this card is for my shopping at the Water Lily Department Store. You can keep it for now. If Gastly's appetite keeps increasing, just come find me again.
"Wait a minute~, that's not what I meant~~"
Before Lin Ye could finish speaking, Prantina had already handed him her contact information and the Water Silence Department Store recharge card.
"Well, it seems Arceus is forcing this soft rice into my mouth!"
"If Heaven bestows something and you don't take it, you'll surely suffer the consequences. I'll just have to reluctantly swallow this free meal."
Only after Plantina said goodbye and left did Gastly slowly emerge from the shadows, saying with lingering fear:
"That girl is finally gone, what a close call! You have no idea how terrifying she is, she's always lecturing you in your ear all the time."
If she sets her sights on you, she might just move in next door and start indoctrinating you with her twisted values every day.
"It's not as serious as you say! Hikaru is just too good to be true~~ ten~ hundred~ thousand~ ten thousand~ hundred thousand~ million~~"
Lin Ye counted the digits on the shopping card that Prantina had given him, and his eyes lit up immediately. The third rich woman was indeed generous.
Although he had previously taken it upon himself to refuse Ms. Officer Jenny's reward.
But the amount stored in this shopping card far exceeded his expectations, enough to cover his Pokémon daily expenses for a long time to come. This was much better than the small reward given by Lilycove City.
After carefully putting away the prepaid shopping card, Lin Ye looked at the empty air in front of him and asked:
"Did you ask?"
"Eee~~"
The Snow Fairy's elegant figure emerged from the shadows, stretched, and slowly said:
"We found out that the scorpions did indeed come from the protected area."
They originally lived on a hillside in the reserve, where they lived a comfortable life within the alliance's designated protection zone.
But just now, one of the unlucky members of their tribe unearthed a gem while digging a cave!
If it were just an ordinary gemstone, it wouldn't be a problem, but this gemstone emitted an extremely peculiar energy fluctuation as soon as it appeared.
This energy attracted the entire population of armored birds, who also lived in the reserve but had no connection with them whatsoever.
These scorpions, whose most proficient skills are venom and ground attacks, were completely immune to the armored birds, and were quickly driven out of their home until what just happened occurred.
"What could possibly attract a flock of armored birds?! Could it be some special gem with steel or flight attributes?"
"We don't know for sure, but that scorpion was quite timid. I just threatened it a little and it revealed the location of its entire colony. Should we go check it out?"
After thinking it over, Lin Ye decided to abandon his plan to go treasure hunting.
After all, his current Pokémon lineup is not easy to beat Skarmory, let alone an entire Skarmory swarm, which is too risky.
Besides, he has already proven that using necromancy to raise Ghost Pokémon has great potential. There's no need to risk everything for uncertain benefits. He should just go home and continue his pursuit of rich women!
He had been so busy with his spiritual practice that he hadn't seen the beautiful and voluptuous "landlady" for two days, which was not good for his grand plan to lick her thighs!
And on the other side,
As Prantina walked along the shore, her pretty face showed a hint of dejection, but it also added to her pitiful charm.
She gazed at the sea and sighed, muttering to herself, "Am I really a qualified trainer?"
"Never mind, let's not think about that now. I saw on WeChat Moments that Xiaoyao has also come to Water Lily City. I'll ask her."
"Beep beep beep, hello, Xiao Guang, why did you suddenly decide to call me today?"
"Haruka~, I have a question for you, are you in Lilycove City right now?!"
"Oh too! So you've come to Lilycove City too?!"
"Hmm~, Father has arranged for me to temporarily manage the assets here, and I'll probably be staying for a while."
"That's great! I was planning to stay in Lilycove City for a while anyway, why don't you move in with me!"
"Together?"
"Hmm~, I'm currently sharing a villa with someone. The environment is nice, and the landlady is really nice. If you decide to come, I'll tell her right now."
"Okay, okay! Give me your address, and I'll come live with you!"
