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

Seeing that Chi Hong didn't speak, Qiuqiu the sea lion turned around again, only to see Zhaoxia squatting in front of her, staring straight at her with her eyes.

"Eeya!!"

The sea lion Qiuqiu was startled and quickly jumped behind Chi Hong. She used her tail to support her body and carefully looked at the sunrise while holding onto Chi Hong's legs.

"Try to express your true feelings and see if you can gain the child's trust."

"The beast tamer chooses the beast, and the beast also chooses the beast tamer."

Chi Hong remained serious, not mentioning a single word about directly defeating a Pokémon and then capturing it with a Poké Ball!

However, most wild Pokémon are like this: as long as you can beat them, they will submit!

It's also possible that some Pokémon, even if you beat them half to death, will still not submit.

"Lulalulalele~ Lulalulalele~"

A playful cell phone rang from Chi Hong's pocket. He took it out and saw it was number 73.

Chi Hong had already thrown away his original phone without hesitation. He inserted his SIM card into the assassin organization's phone and started using it as his own.

After all, number 73 had already erased Lao Li's data, and now this phone is logged in with its own ID.

Two phones are too much trouble; Chi Hong doesn't like them.

"Zhaoxia, whether you have a connection with this child or not, five minutes is enough. I'm going to take this call."

Chi Hong bent down, picked up the ball-shaped sea lion, placed it in front of Chaoxia, and then turned and walked away.

Asagiri stared at Chi Hong, and for some reason, she really wanted to hear who had called Chi Hong and what Chi Hong was going to say to that person.

So she took a few steps toward Chi Hong's location, not too close, but close enough to definitely hear him speaking.

"Red, are you free tonight?"

"What's wrong?"

"What I mean is, I'll give you the payment after we meet. I'm a big spender, and I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to you if I spend the money I give you."

"Location." Chi Hong glanced at Chao Wu beside him, his expression unchanged.

"How about the usual spot?"

"Okay, bring plenty of beer then." After saying that, Chi Hong hung up the phone.

Asagi had no suspicions; this should have been a simple get-together with friends.

For some reason, ever since she saw Chi Hong, Asagiri has been constantly comparing him to Akane.

Meanwhile, Lu Yao, holding her phone, frowned and muttered to herself, "Bring more beer? What for?"

"Would he like to have a drink with me?"

"That's true, after all, a mature woman like me is incredibly attractive to a younger brother like Akane!"

"Drinking is fine too, it'll be a good opportunity to see what he looks like!"

Lu Yao nodded and got up to buy beer.

When Chi Hong finished his call and turned around, he found that Chaoxia had summoned the Fire Wolf, who was now squatting on the ground whispering something to the Ball Ball Sea Lion. Finally, she slowly reached out and touched the Ball Ball Sea Lion's head.

The sea lion moved its head slightly, and a few seconds later, Chaoxia also touched it.

Chi Hong knew she had succeeded. In fact, almost all of the three starter families in the past could be "kidnapped" as long as they were given to them by others, since they were just level 1 babies who had not experienced the world.

Chi Hong walked over and tossed the red and white ball to Zhaoxia without saying a word, telling her that this was the storage device for the pet.

"This child is still very young. Treat her well. If you put in enough effort, I believe she will evolve in no time," Chi Hong said calmly.

"evolution?"

"Pokémon...can it evolve?"

Chaoxia picked up the sea lion Qiuqiu, teased it a few times on its nose, and asked in surprise.

Chaowu frowned as well. It's not that pets can't evolve, but pets that can evolve are extremely rare. Even the Chao family, which is a behemoth in Jinling City, only has one pet that can evolve.

The current head of the family, Asahi's Firemane Ape, is said to be on the verge of evolution, and Asahi is currently frantically acquiring various fruits for this purpose.

"Click~~"

"Koike, this time it took way too long, meow? It's so boring inside, meow!!"

The sound of the Poké Ball opening rang out, and Meowth ran out on its own. It really didn't like staying inside the ball, so it came out by itself.

"He...he spoke?" Asagiri's eyes widened!

A talking pet is the most precious of all!

"Oh? It's you, little girl! Hello, meow!" Meow waved its paw at Chaoxia, then jumped onto Chi Hong's back and hugged Chi Hong's head.

"Hello!"

"Eeya!"

Chaoxia and the sea lion Qiuqiu both greeted Miaomiao.

"Oh? It's Ball Ball Sea Lion, meow. Little Pond, where are we going now, meow?" Meow asked.

"Let's head to the admissions office of Yenching University in Nanjing. We can continue our journey now."

"Chi Hong, let this...cat sit in the passenger seat. I want to have a chat with him."

An excited look appeared on Asagiri's face as she pointed at Meow Meow and said.

Afterwards, Zhaoxia sat in the back seat with Qiuqiu the sea lion and Chihong, while Miaomiao sat in the passenger seat with her seatbelt on and chatted with Chaowu the whole way.

Of course, the conversation was all about trivial things like, "Do you eat cat food?", "Why can you talk?", "Are you a good fighter?", and "Have you ever considered joining a law enforcement organization?"

When they arrived, they found a long line at the admissions office, so the three of them decided to come back early the next morning.

Following the eldest sister, Chi Hong and Zhao Xia didn't need to pay anything; Zhao Wu had arranged all the hotel dinners for them.

When they returned to the hotel to rest after dinner, Asagiri was still chatting with Meow Meow. Clearly, she was very interested in talking pets!

The two, one human and one cat, even discussed the crimson color, with Asagiri asking the cat for its opinion...

Chi Hong didn't dare let them continue their conversation, because Miao Miao had been drinking and was already quite drunk. He was genuinely afraid that Miao Miao might accidentally blurt out something...

After returning to their respective hotels, Chi Hong looked at Meow Meow, who was fast asleep on the bed, and released Lucario and Zoroark.

Lucario, whose special ability is "Heart of Justice," seems to have an extremely strong sensitivity to "bad guys."

He took out his phone and scrolled through the screen, looking at the assassination list with Lucario.

There weren't many missions; apart from one B-rank, the rest were all C-rank. To Chi Hong's surprise, Lucario coldly nodded at every single photo in the room. Indeed, based on his righteous intuition, these were all "bad guys."

"Is it fucking that outrageous?"

"Is the assassin organization actually an alternative, city guardian?"

"To prevent the world from being destroyed, to safeguard world peace, to uphold love and true evil?"

"Zoroark, Lucario, are we an assassination squad operating in Jinling City???"

Chi Hong felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that things couldn't possibly be that simple.

He put on a baseball cap, and Zoroark waved his paw at his face, instantly blurring the face beneath the cap's brim.

As he was leaving, Zoroark conjured up the illusion of Chi Hong sleeping on the hotel bed, which was actually just a pillow.

Then, the three figures quietly disappeared into the night.

Beastmaster Chi Hong is offline, assassin Chi Hong is online!
