The Kingdom of Loque has arrived, and this sparring partner is so awesome!

Chapter 2 The Pollution Sprite - The Little Black Cat

Lin Chong stared at the message, his mind racing. He typed a question directly.

I don't have much money, how much of a discount can I get?

As you know, I—

[Old Zhou: We'll talk about it tomorrow.]

Before he could finish telling the story of how Zhou was playing the victim, Lin Chong didn't press the matter further, seeing that Old Man Zhou was unwilling to talk more.

He silently calculated the cost of raising a Pokémon—if he raised it "frugal," he could afford to feed and drink it for about three thousand a month, but its combat power would be much weaker.

Although Kingdom Coins can be used to purchase various items in the shop to provide talents and levels for elves, none of them are cheap.

Forcing yourself to buy a low-talented Pokémon will not only make your life difficult, but also consume a large amount of Kingdom Coins.

"If I could buy a decent Pokémon with decent talent at a price I could accept, that would be ideal..."

Lin Chong murmured to himself, but he knew in his heart that it was impossible.

This world has a comprehensive evaluation system for Pokémon, so there are almost no exceptionally talented Pokémon that end up on the market and are picked up by others; they are all kept in the hands of the Federation and clans.

Lin Chong's special abilities are limited to hearing the thoughts of elves and granting their wishes to obtain Kingdom Coins; he does not possess the ability to "assess aptitude."

Otherwise, he would have already found a good elf to raise.

As Lin Chong was eating and contemplating the future, Xiao Xi suddenly looked up at him.

"Bro, are you a great trainer?"

Lin Chong glanced at her, then lowered his head and continued eating.

"I don't even have any Pokémon, what kind of trainer am I?"

But Xiaoxi persisted, saying seriously, "But you work part-time at the training center and earn a lot of money every month."

"I've looked into it. Only trainers can make money there, and they have to be really good at it!"

Lin Chong paused for a moment; Xiao Xi had guessed correctly.

Although he is only "intermediate", the word "professional" is actually preceding his level.

Lin Chong, who is not weak even among professional trainers, can indeed be called formidable.

You should know that the trainers in Old Zhou's gym are only at the beginner level of professional.

"Your brother has some talent, but it's nothing special... Why are you asking this? Have you finished your homework?"

Lin Chong glared at Xiao Xi, but to his surprise, the latter was not afraid at all. Xiao Xi ran back to the bedroom and reappeared with a pile of loose change in her palms.

She placed the loose change on the table and said earnestly, "Brother, this is the pocket money you gave me, it's 1520 in total!"

"I'll give you your money back. Buy a Pokémon and take the Pokémon Exam next month!"

"Once you become a famous trainer, you'll earn lots and lots of money! Then you can pay me back..."

Lin Chong looked at the pile of colorful loose change—some red, some green, and a few crumpled bills, clearly collected over a long period of time.

At that moment, he was speechless.

As someone who's been through it all, Lin Chong knows that young people care a lot about their image, especially high school students who often engage in "brand name comparisons."

He has never been stingy with his allowance for his younger sister's physical and mental well-being.

"...You didn't spend a single penny, you saved it all?"

"Um!"

"So you lied to me last week when you told me the school needed to pay fifty yuan for textbooks?"

"Hmm...huh?"

"Ouch! Ouch! I'm sorry, bro, please don't pull my ear!"

Xiaoxi covered her ears and ran into the kitchen to wash the dishes, muttering "stingy girl" under her breath.

Lin Chong sat at the dining table, staring at the pile of scattered loose change, for a long time.

-

The next morning.

A ray of sunlight shone on the wrinkles at the corners of Old Zhou's eyes.

He took out his keys and slowly opened the training hall door, while Lin Chong, wearing a hood, jogged over from the end of the road.

"Boss."

Lin Chong, panting, smiled at Old Man Zhou.

The old man snorted: "No one gets up early without a reason."

"Go inside, the elf is at the front desk, go get it some food."

Lin Chong nodded in agreement and followed behind the old man.

As soon as he entered the training hall, he saw a glass box on the front desk, with a black "fur ball" curled up inside. Hearing the noise, its pair of cat ears perked up and twitched.

"Is this... a little black cat?"

Lin Chong was somewhat surprised. He was no stranger to the "Little Black Cat." Whether in the "Rock Kingdom" game of his previous life or in the "Elf World" of this life, the Little Black Cat was a popular elf.

Even though most members of the Black Cat race are not very strong in combat in this world, their cute and cuddly cat-like appearance means that they will occupy a place in the female community.

Lin Chong found it absurd: "The unwanted elf you mentioned, is it this one?"

Old Zhou ignored him, tossed him a bag of feline food, and then leaned back in his recliner, pretending to doze off.

Lin Chong suppressed his doubts for the time being and walked towards the black cat.

But as soon as he got close, the black sphere seemed to be stimulated and stood up at lightning speed, arching its back, baring its teeth, and making a loud whimpering sound from its throat, which symbolized a warning.

Don't come near me, human!

An angry voice exploded in his ears, and Lin Chong stood rooted to the spot, realizing something.

He has a stubborn personality and is not popular with women.

But most mischievous Pokémon have good battle performance, so why haven't any trainers taken a liking to this black cat?

Seemingly sensing Lin Chong's thoughts, the old man lay back in his chair and said lazily.

"This Pokémon is defective; it has mastered four skills that ordinary black cats cannot learn, but what's interesting is..."

"It only knows these four skills; it can't even use ramming."

"It has already had three different trainers."

Old Zhou's words hurt Black Cat's pride, especially the words "defective product"!

Lin Chong watched helplessly as it frantically rammed against the box wall, its cat eyes bloodshot, as if it wanted to fight the old man to the death.

[Who are you calling a defective product, you old geezer?]

"Let me out if you dare, and we'll fight to the death!"

Seeing its appearance, the old man chuckled: "The prerequisite for expressing anger is having the ability to match it."

"Otherwise, it would only make us a laughingstock. For example, you can't even get a box out—"

Clang!

The old man's voice abruptly stopped.

At the front desk, Lin Chong innocently opened the glass case. The next second, a dark figure flashed out. Its movements were so swift that it was completely unlike the crippled elf the old man had described!

The black cat leaped into the air, its claws glowing with a dark red color. It had used a Dragon-type move—Dragon Claw—in a Normal-type move!

Black Cat was determined to teach Old Man Zhou a lesson with this attack. However, even Lin Chong did not expect that after a brief moment of surprise, Old Man Zhou would quickly pull out a Gulu Ball.

As the linear white light was injected into the little black cat's body, it angrily shook the ball inside, but was helpless.

It's happening again!

【It's always like this!!】

The training hall fell silent for a moment.

Looking at the expressionless old man Zhou, Lin Chong laughed and scratched his head as if nothing had happened, then turned away.

"I'm going to feed the elves at the restaurant!"

But when Lin Chong turned his back to Old Man Zhou, a glint of light flashed in his eyes!

Four unconventional skills, yet he only knows these four.

This is not a defective product, but a "pollution sprite"!

In his previous life in the game "Roco Kingdom", Lin Chong was very clear about the criteria for judging "Pollution Spirits".

The skill pool is locked, but the talent is top-tier. If only a purification potion could unlock the locked skill pool—

This is a high-potential Pokémon that no one knows about!
