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

"So you knew, but you also know that the pet storage device was made by the Earthlings."

"Your life form is superior to that of Earthlings, what are you afraid of?"

"If you keep doing this, letting me collect you won't do any good. I'm just venting my anger. Why don't you just blow up this storage device later?"

"Let me humiliate you a little, and we'll put aside our differences and become brothers who will never betray each other, how about it?"

Chi Hong spoke earnestly and appeared very sincere.

"Is what you're saying... true?"

"Do you dare to swear?"

Yuan Zhou narrowed his eyes and asked. Clearly, he was tempted. Compared to his 50 yuan debt, being insulted by Chi Hong was nothing.

After all, Chi Hong was right. How could a mere pet storage device made by humans on Earth possibly trap him, Master Yuan Zhou?

That's obviously nonsense.

"Of course I dare!"

"I'll just let you in for a quick goal, just for a moment, so I can vent my frustration."

"I absolutely did not mean to use some kind of otherworldly, bug-level item to capture you and treat you like a dog!"

Chi Hong immediately switched to a serious expression, becoming extremely solemn. After speaking, as if afraid Yuan Zhou wouldn't believe him, he added, "I swear in the name of my Chinese ancestor Jia Xu!"

"Your ancestor was named Jia Xu, is that right?" Yuan Zhou was taken aback.

"You've only been a human on Earth for a few years? Have you ever been a Chinese? Do you even understand how you've been one? The waters here... run very deep." Chi Hong's gaze remained serious.

"good!"

"Since you've said that, you probably won't lie to me!"

"Come on! Open it, I'll let you put it away. And if this thing breaks, I won't compensate you, let me make that clear!"

Yuan Zhou nodded vigorously. What could a mere pet storage device created by a Blue Star person do to him?

He completely ignored what Chi Hong was talking about—the kind of overpowered, alternate-world item.

"it is good."

Chi Hong smiled and switched to a different ball. The ball was purple and red on top, white on the bottom, and had the letter "M" on it.

A master ball that you can easily catch and then completely surrender to!

If you ask where this came from, Chi Hong only discovered it recently. He had it with his Giratina while playing the game, so when he unlocked Giratina, he had an extra Master Ball.

"Then I'll lose it!" Chi Hong stood up abruptly and took a step back.

He simply couldn't completely trust Yuan Zhou. Drifting alone in the universe, it was indeed somewhat inconvenient without a local like him by his side.

Therefore, he planned to trick Yuan Zhou and make that old bastard Yuan Zhou "become good friends" with Chi Hong!

"Go ahead and throw it away!"

"Since I've agreed, I won't resist. Just let me in, then I'll come out!"

Yuan Zhou also stood up, his face full of seriousness!

Chi Hong lowered the brim of his hat, a smile playing on his lips, and lifted the Master Ball with one hand!

"Let me tell you, Jia Xu is an ancient figure. In Chinese history, he was considered a very cunning and treacherous guy. Using underhanded tricks and scheming against people were his basic skills."

"Not to mention breaking their word..."

As Chi Hong spoke, he threw the Master Ball out!

Yuan Zhou was stunned for a moment, only managing to utter a "Huh?" before the Master Ball decisively absorbed him.

As expected, the Master Ball performed admirably, capturing the ball in one go!

alien?

What aliens? Those are the first Pokémon ever discovered from outer space!

The Desolate Warriors, cosmic refugees, possessing the power of immortality, and traversing the Abyss.

Level: Empty.

Attributes: Universe, Wasteland War.

Characteristics: Desolate Body. Yuan Zhou's body is composed of materialized "desolation". No matter how much his body is destroyed, as long as a few cells are left, Yuan Zhou will repair himself with strange "desolate tentacles".

The Keeper of the Covenant: Yuan Zhou cannot break his promises, even at a terrible cost. His unwavering will makes him extremely immune to negative states such as depravity, evil, and seduction.

Skills: Lifeform Splitting, Avatar Splitting, Starlight, Torment and Suffering, Desolate Tentacles...

The sheer number of skills was overwhelming; Chi Hong couldn't even begin to count how many skills Yuan Zhou possessed at a glance...

"Awesome, even in Pokémon, that's enough to be considered a legendary Pokémon."

"And he can completely AFK and move around freely without consuming my energy. Isn't that a bug?"

"My settings in the Beast Tamer world seem to have changed somewhat in the universe."

Chi Hong raised his hand to release the Abyss Ball, and then put the Master Ball away.

Yuan Zhou, with his back to Chi Hong, slowly turned his face...

"Here it comes. Let me see this Master Ball. In space, isn't that 100% capture rate a bug?"

"Once the ball is in my possession, it's mine..."

Chi Hong resisted the urge to try giving Yuan Zhou an "aura enhancement" and waited quietly for Yuan Zhou to speak.

"I feel..."

"hiss......."

Yuan Zhou gasped, his prismatic pupils fixed on Chi Hong. He felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"What are you feeling?"

"Brother, just say what you want to say. We're like brothers, aren't we?" Chi Hong pushed up the brim of his hat with one finger, a certain light gleaming in his eyes.

"I feel..."

"The two of us working together should be quite strong. In Earth's parlance, we should achieve a 1+1 greater than 2 effect."

"I have a feeling you might have some special abilities that can enhance your teammates? After all, you're a summoner."

"!!!" Chi Hong stepped forward, raised his hand and pressed down on Yuan Zhou's shoulder, saying directly, "Then you're absolutely right, I really am a summoner. Aura enhancement, ultimate activation, bond evolution and all that, I can do it all with ease!"

"Wait a minute..." Yuan Zhou pointed to his face and asked, "Bond Evolution, you mean...?"

"Does even I have to evolve?"

"Of course!" Chi Hong nodded and explained, "You and I are good brothers, joining hands and shouting about love and justice, bonds and all that nonsense."

"You too are capable of a great leap in life form!"

"If you have the ability then, 50 is nothing, brother, I'll pay you back in no time!!"

"Really??" Yuan Zhou was overjoyed. It was wonderful that someone was paying back the money!

"Of course it's true! I, Chi Hong, always keep my word. If I say it's underhanded..."

"What I mean is, if I say I'll pay it back, I'll pay it back!!"

Chi Hong nodded vigorously and immediately took out his phone to pay back Yuan Zhou's damn 5 universe coins!

"I'll go through fire and water for you, Brother Hong!"

"I'll give my life, Brother Hong!"

Yuan Zhou was so moved he almost cried; his hands were trembling slightly. Heaven knows the enormous price he paid for this small debt...

"I'm so sorry, gentlemen, your upgraded spaceship has arrived."

"We are currently in the process of docking. Please follow me..."

Looking at the two men exuding homoerotic tension, Shi Nu seemed to understand why Chi Hong was no longer interested in her.
