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

Chi Hong started queuing up again, utterly bored...

During this time, several takeout orders were placed for Miaomiao. Miaomiao kept Chi Hong company, which made Chi Hong feel less bored.

"Next up, Chi Hong!"

Chi Hong had been standing in line for so long that he was almost asleep when an announcement came over the loudspeaker, and he finally opened his eyes.

"Meow Meow, I'm sorry to trouble you for a bit." Chi Hong took out the red and white ball and put Meow Meow, who was still drinking milk tea, inside. Then he strode into the assessment room.

"Have you opened up a beast-taming space?"

As soon as I entered, a man with a cold expression immediately asked me a question.

Chi Hong wasn't nervous at all. He answered calmly, "No, I don't know how to open up the pet space."

"Didn't anyone in your family teach you?"

The man asked a very good question, which could directly determine whether Chi Hong was an ordinary citizen or whether his family had beast tamers.

"My family members have gone missing, and they haven't had a chance to teach me yet."

Chi Hong was telling the truth; his identity was not a secret, and anyone who wanted to could find out quickly.

"Alright, in that case, let's begin the assessment. We, Jinling..."

"Cough cough~~"

The man had only spoken half a sentence when a deliberately coughing sound rang out. The man immediately stood up, his expression respectful.

He was an elderly man, dressed in a well-fitting suit and even a tie.

His full head of white hair looks like he has a decent amount of hair, but he also has a lot of age spots on his face.

Chi Hong glanced at the old man once, then looked away, wanting to finish the assessment as soon as possible.

"This kid, I'm taking him away for the assessment. You get back to work."

The old man glanced at Chi Hong, then turned and left. Watching the old man's retreating figure, Chi Hong tried to recall, but had absolutely no recollection of him.

He was certain that he had never seen this old man before; Chi Hong had no memory of such an old man.

"Go with them, but be smart. This is Professor Yan, the most powerful professor at our Beast Tamer University in Jinling City."

Although the man appeared cold on the surface, Chi Hong could tell that he was a warm-hearted person.

Chi Hong followed the old man away and soon entered a private office—or rather, a reception room.

Although it was very simple, it had all the necessary tea table and chairs, and even an old-fashioned chair.

"Xiao Chi, your mother is my student. According to seniority, it's only natural for you to call me Grandpa."

The old man sat down and started making tea, but what he said stunned Chi Hong.

Although he was a transmigrator, he inherited everything from Chi Hong and completely replaced Chi Hong's identity in this world.

But those feelings and memories have also penetrated deep into Chi Hong's soul.

"What? Surprised?"

"I thought Xiao Yang had told you. That kid is still so stubborn. He didn't even consult this old man before making a decision about entering the restricted area."

Seeing that Chi Hong did not speak, Professor Yan shook his head, poured Chi Hong a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of him.

Chi Hong's mother was named Yang Ruyi. The old man kept calling her "Little Yang," and Chi Hong couldn't tell from his manner of speaking that he was lying.

"My mother never mentioned it to me. I was very young when she disappeared, so it's possible she did mention it but I don't remember."

After finishing speaking, Chi Hong picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Hehe, at first I didn't believe it was you, but the moment I saw you, I understood."

"Your features are exactly like Xiao Yang's."

"Where's your sister? I always thought she took you away."

Professor Yan looked at Chi Hong's face, a look of reminiscence appearing on his old face.

"Sister?" Chi Hong frowned deeply!

I've never heard of that!

Do you have an older sister?

He has absolutely no recollection of it!

"You don't know?" Professor Yan hesitated for a moment, then abruptly changed the subject, "I see that you haven't opened your Beast Tamer Space yet. Let me help you. After all, I was the one who helped your mother open her Beast Tamer Space back then."

"The space I created myself is considerably smaller compared to the space helped by a higher-level beast tamer like myself."

Although Chi Hong was puzzled by his abrupt change of topic, he did not press the matter. He simply shook his head, indicating that he could do it himself if he had the means, and did not need to rely on others.

"Okay, child, wait a moment, I have something for you." Professor Yan stood up and walked to the old-fashioned chair. A very simple cloth bag was hanging on the back of the chair. He reached into the bag, rummaged around for a while, and took out a notebook.

After flipping through the book a few times, he handed it to Chi Hong.

"This is...."

Chi Hong took the notebook and found that it was just a very ordinary notebook, which looked quite old. The cover only had the word "notebook" on it, just like the notebook Chi Hong used when he was in school in the original world.

"Your mother's notebook contains her insights from her studies, as well as notes on precautions, methods for raising pets, etc..."

"Of course, there's also that... method for opening up pet space. She's done some research on that too. Everyone's method is different, but they all lead to the same goal. I've seen your mother's method, and it's quite good. As her son, it's most appropriate for you to take this notebook."

Professor Yan, looking old and frail, sat back down in his chair, his tone gentle, even carrying a hint of kindness.

Chi Hong first skimmed through it. The handwriting was very neat, and the notebook almost filled the entire book. Chi Hong flipped to the last page of the notebook with records and immediately took a closer look.

All the preceding content was written with a ballpoint pen, but this last line was written with a fountain pen.

"I'm pregnant! This is great news!" The West Wind Howling Beast seemed very excited. Through its aura, the West Wind Howling Beast sensed that it was a boy. I informed my teacher, Mr. Yan, and he was also very happy.

"He also named my child Chi Hong, which I like very much. It's not too flashy, nor is it too tacky. Chi Hong, Mom is looking forward to the day you are born. Of course, your father and Xifeng Xiaoshou are looking forward to it too."

This looks like a casual essay, and of course, there's a lot of this kind of casual writing in the notes.

A few tears fell onto the notebook. Chi Hong wept, his brow furrowed, tears of longing streaming down his face.

"I made thorough preparations and went to that forbidden area. It's a pity, and although I really don't want to believe it, but child, your parents may really..."

"I was trapped inside for five whole years. My pet space was shattered, and it took another three years just to repair it..."

"I'm so sorry I didn't get a chance to see you, Grandpa." Tears welled up in Professor Yan's eyes as well. He had only recently fully recovered, which gave him an idea of ​​how terrifying that forbidden area was.

Closing his notebook, Chi Hong sighed softly, looked at Professor Yan, and asked softly, "Grandpa Yan, do I still need to take the assessment?"

"Hahaha...."

"Of course not! Grandpa will give you special treatment!"

Professor Yan laughed heartily, and the gloom between his brows dissipated considerably.
