Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"Well then, Professor Yan, Yuzhi, farewell!"

Chi Hong jumped onto the back of the dragon, ready to take off and charge straight down the main road!

"Have a safe journey," Professor Yan nodded.

"Um... Happy New Year..." Shen Yuzhi originally wanted to say "Have a safe journey," but Professor Yan beat her to it.

With a shout, Dragonite carried Chi Hong straight into the sky and quickly disappeared from Professor Yan and Shen Yuzhi's sight.

Inside the Extreme Club in Shanghai.

Li Pianpian lay on the chair like a lump of mud, with a letter on her desk.

It was a letter urging her to go to the Greater Bay Area to take over, or recommending a new person for a position. She had to respond to it; this was the message from the higher-ups in the law enforcement organization.

No one is allowed to refuse.

"Simply sending someone else is either sending them to their death or making them a puppet."

"I'm alright at managing a company, but I'm really no good at law enforcement. That jerk, he's dead and he's left me with a mountain of trouble!"

"Okay, actually, I'm a complete mess at managing the company too..."

"I'm useless at everything, but I'm the best at eating! Why does this have to happen to me?!"

Li Pianpian grew angrier the more she thought about it, and grabbed the letter to tear it to shreds. But then she suddenly saw a familiar figure through the French windows. It was Chi Hong riding a fast dragon!

"He's here?"

"I'm saved if he comes!!"

"Wait... are you going to smash my French windows again??"

"Wow, that's so expensive!!"

Li Pianpian immediately ran to the French windows and waved frantically at Chi Hong.

"What does she mean? Is she saying hello to me?" Chi Hong tilted his head, not understanding, and Dragonite showed no sign of stopping.

Dragonite grew larger and clearer in Li Pianpian's vision; she could even see its arrogant expression.

It was as if it were asking her, "Do you think I could smash this expensive floor-to-ceiling window to pieces, leaving no trace of its contents?!"

"No!!" Li Pianpian immediately hid to the side and exclaimed in surprise.

"What are you doing?" Chi Hong's voice came from behind her.

When Li Pianpian turned around, she saw Chi Hong holding a small yellow pet animal and already sitting on her sofa.

"Um...that..."

"It's nothing!"

"But what about you? Did you agree to my request?!"

Li Pianpian immediately ran over, sat down opposite Chi Hong, and asked with a hopeful expression.

"agree."

"But I'm not satisfied with your terms; I want more money!"

Chi Hong nodded and said.

"Half of the shares in the Limitless Guild isn't enough? Half of the shares would be enough for me to have an S-rank Beast Tamer as my bodyguard!" Li Pianpian was full of surprise. Did he even understand the value of the Limitless Guild?

"What you said does seem to make sense..."

"Then...6%? I want to be the majority shareholder..."

Chi Hong hesitated before speaking.

"If you're the major shareholder, 51 is enough, because I only have 51, which is equivalent to giving it all to you. It's okay, I'm willing." Li Pianpian seemed to disdain this huge industry.

"I want 60!" Chi Hong repeated.

"I'm only 51!"

"Just promise me, and when I'm done with this, I'll collect the remaining 9% myself."

"Actually, you have to collect all 51 yourself... The people in the group won't agree to let you take so much." Li Pianpian waved her hand and said indifferently. Ever since she lost her parents and brother, she has had no one to rely on.

If it weren't for the fact that she was a beast tamer with super A-level strength, some people in the group would have already devoured her bones.

"Oh~" Chi Hong pointed at Li Pianpian, as if suddenly realizing something, and said, "You want to use me as a pawn, right?"

"How could you say that!"

"That's awful! What do you mean by 'using someone as a tool'? If you're so capable, take it all, and I'll be your man too. Of course, I mean working for you."

"Take it, isn't it yours now? This place is too complicated. There are several S-rank people in the Extreme Club, and they are all being supported by those old men."

"They all think I have an S-class backer now, but one day they'll find out I don't actually have any backers at all."

"Then I'm doomed~~~"

Li Pianpian seemed to have come to a sense of relief at this point, leaning back on the sofa with a serene expression on her face, as if awaiting death....

"Okay, I agree. Contact my boss. I don't know anything about the company."

"You can contact it. I'll send a silly bird to be your backer. While I'm away, you can start handing over the shares to my boss."

As he spoke, Chi Hong took out a business card and placed it on the coffee table.

Li Pianpian was surprised that Chi Hong actually had a boss? Wasn't he a college student? He was already working before even graduating?

With a puzzled look, he touched the business card. On the card was a photo of a cat wearing a trench coat and a top hat...

"The leader of Team Rainbow Rocket..."

"Meow??"

Are you serious?

"It's a harpy!!"

Li Pianpian had a "Are you fucking kidding me?" look on her face.

"cut..."

"You'll see when you contact him. This guy knows everything from astronomy to geography. Aside from being unable to find a girlfriend and catching a yellow rat, he's practically omnipotent!"

"Alright, just send me a message in advance as to when I can leave. I'm heading back to Jinling now."

"Waiting for your message~"

As Chi Hong spoke, he patted Casey's head. Casey's eyes lit up, and Chi Hong instantly disappeared from Li Pianpian's sight.

"Why is that big idiot bird becoming my backer?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just leave the great white shark with me?"

"This is so boring!"

Li Pianpian made a comment, then stuffed the business card into her bag and left.

That evening, Chi Hong returned to his villa.

"You mean there's a group that's somewhat famous around the world that can be taken over by the cats, right, meow?" Meow asked, stroking its whiskers.

"Yes, I gave her your business card. I will be away for a while afterward."

"Try to keep a low profile, and just in case, I'll leave you an S-rank pet as a henchman."

"Normally, it should be enough."

Chi Hong took out the crystal and handed it to Miao Miao.

He directly left this secret realm, compressed into crystals, to Meow Meow!

"There are some A-rank tyrannical pets here, and most importantly, there is an S-rank tyrannical pet that I have tamed. I have already explained everything to them."

"I will help you, you can rest assured about that, Meow Meow. I won't cooperate with you unless you, you silly bird, want to die."

Chi Hong looked at the crystal and spoke, as if he were talking to the Evil Flame Bone Bird...

"I understand, meow. Then I'll accept it, meow!"

"I'll return it to you when you're done with your work, Koike."

Meow Meow held up the crystal, its eyes gleaming with a light that seemed to be called "ambition".

"In that case..."

"The Extreme Hall will become food for the cats."

"It will become...nutrients for Team Rainbow Rocket, meow..."

"Our journey is to the stars and the sea, meow!"

Chi Hong was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Miao Miao's head, pried open her mouth, and roared, "Who the hell are you?!"

"How dare you possess my beloved kitty!?"

"You won't talk, huh? If you don't talk, I'll kill you!!"

"What are you doing, Chi? Isn't it normal for Pokémon to become more and more like their trainers, meow!" Meow broke free and quickly jumped onto Chi Hong's neck, grabbing Chi Hong's hair with its two paws.

"You're the one who's been fighting all along, taking over territory and stuff, meow!"

Chi Hong was stunned again...

Whether it's the "self" in the game or the real self, neither of us has been idle; in fact, we've been extremely busy!

"Boss Meow Meow is right."

Chi Hong reflected for a moment, then pondered, "When I'm capable enough, I'll take you to other planets to search for extraterrestrial civilizations!"

"Is that necessary, meow?" Meow stopped pulling her hair and asked in confusion.

"Why isn't it there?"

"I want to find a planet with life, and then insist that the inhabitants of that planet are Pokémon..."

"Hehehe..."

Chi Hong grinned maliciously; he didn't look like a good person at all.
