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

The large wolfhound was panting heavily, its steps becoming somewhat unsteady. Clearly, after the boundary was removed, seamlessly connecting these skills was proving difficult for it at level 36.

But the effect was explosive!

This explosive attack was something that no beast tamer of the same level could withstand.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Chi Hong also felt a slight dizziness, as if he had exhausted a lot of physical and mental energy. He took out a red and white ball and put the big wolfhound back. Then he looked at Zhang Li with sharp eyes.

Zhang Li felt a little uneasy under Chi Hong's gaze, and as if finally realizing something, she loudly proclaimed, "The outcome is decided! The winner is Chi Hong!"

"Oh...."

"So you still remember my name is Chi Hong?"

Chi Hong gave a mocking smile, then zipped up his coat, put his hands in his pockets, and walked toward Lin Zhou.

Zhang Li forced a stiff smile and said nothing.

Lin Zhou was terrified. He slumped against the wall, his face filled with fear, showing no trace of a beast tamer.

"To be able to so easily defeat my younger brother, you are indeed very strong among trainees."

"How about it? Would you like to consider accepting our Lin Group's sponsorship? Of course, if you accept our sponsorship, you'll have to join our Lin Group in the future."

A man who looked to be around 25 years old walked over. His features were seven or eight parts similar to Lin Zhou's. Clearly, this was Lin Zhou's older brother, Lin Xia.

"Hilarious! Go away!" Zhaoxia quickly blocked Chi Hong's way, saying with a displeased expression, "If anyone's going to provide funding, it should be our Chaoyang Group. Young Master Lin should worry more about his own brother."

"........."

Lin Xia glanced at Lin Zhou, who was still in a daze, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Send this useless guy home."

Behind him, two men in suits immediately helped Lin Zhou away.

"He lost. It was agreed before that the loser would leave 2000 yuan. He's terrified. You're his older brother, so you pay for it."

Chi Hong remained calm, extended a hand to Lin Xia, and directly said, "Give me the money!"

"Interesting. I don't care about this small amount of money. I'll have my assistant transfer two hundred thousand to you!"

"Regarding the extra amount, I wonder if you'd be interested in parting with that pet you were just with? If you agree, I'll have my assistant transfer the money to you immediately. It's two hundred thousand; Young Master Chi, you've probably never seen that much money before, have you?"

Lin Xia spoke gently, but her words showed no respect for Chi Hong. Chi Hong didn't care, but Zhao Xia was furious.

"20? Are you trying to fob me off? Even the most ordinary C-grade low-level pet beast sells for 50. You want to spend 20 to buy Chi Hong's big wolfhound? Dream on!" Zhao Xia seemed to really dislike Lin Xia, and her tone was anything but polite.

"That's right, Young Master Lin is way too stingy!"

A voice filled with anxiety came from behind them. The group looked in the direction of the voice and saw a chubby man running towards them, panting heavily, led by Zhang Li. He looked like he didn't exercise often and was covered in sweat.

"Chi Hong, this is the owner of this club, Zhang Quan. This club has multiple branches in Jinling, and it's considered a pretty powerful entity in Jinling City." Zhao Xia leaned against Chi Hong and whispered the information to him.

"Young man, my name is Zhang Quan. I know about your pet. One price."

"200 million!"

"Why don't you just sell it to me? Young Master Lin is offering 20, it's really... hehe."

Zhang Quan wiped his face with a handkerchief, looking like he was 100% sure he could take down the big wolfhound. A pet with this kind of strength could potentially be developed into an A-level beast if it were given to a high-level beast tamer!

Clearly, both Lin Xia and Zhang Quan believed that the victory was due to the strength of the big wolfhound and had little to do with Chi Hong.

It's such a waste to have such a top-quality pet in Chi Hong's hands.

"Boring. Remember to ask that kid Lin Zhou to give me the 2000 yuan later. Zhaoxia, I'm off."

Chi Hong completely ignored the two people. They were just rich people; hadn't he been rich himself before?

Zhang Li watched Chi Hong's retreating figure, her expression shifting between anger and uncertainty...

After the two left, Lin Xia glanced at Zhang Quan with a calm expression, then turned and left as well. He was going to the pet hospital; the Rock Ridge Lizard was badly injured, and it would be such a waste for it to die like that.

"I'll deal with you when we get home. How dare you steal my pet! You useless piece of trash!"

Inside the car, Lin Xia spoke in a low voice with a gloomy expression. Then he took out a cigar, lit it, took a puff, and instructed the driver in front: "Send someone tonight to take care of that Chi Hong and bring back the storage device containing the large wolfhound."

"Remember, be clean."

"Yes, Young Master Lin, don't worry, I'll take care of it myself." The driver nodded and started the car.

"Hmm." Lin Xia closed his eyes slightly. Actually, he wasn't very optimistic about that large wolfhound. The key issue was the skill called "Destructive Ray." If he used the pet skill grafting device to transfer that skill to his ace pet...

"I'm definitely going to be the champion of the Nanjing Championship at the end of the year!"

Lin Xia's face was gloomy as he squeezed out the lit cigar with his hand.

Chi Hong's home, though called a home, is actually just the only remaining property of the Chi family—a small, abandoned warehouse, which is where Chi Hong lives.

"Chi Hong, Chi Hong, where did that powerful wolfhound come from? It's so strong, and its synchronization rate with you is frighteningly high."

"With this pet beast, your admission to Jinling Beast Taming University is practically guaranteed!"

"After all, the most important thing for getting into university is the synchronization rate with your pet. Whether you tamed it yourself or have created your own pet space doesn't matter!"

Chaoxia chattered incessantly the whole way; clearly, the large wolfhound had given her quite a shock.

"So where do you think it came from?" Chi Hong asked with a smile.

A strange smile appeared on Chaoxia's face as she said, "I can guess it's from the storage device. And it cooperates with you so well, completely obeying your orders. There's only one possibility."

"That big wolfhound, Uncle Chi or Grandpa Chi left it for you! Right!"

If you spend a lot of time with the pet of an elder, the elder's pet will treat you as a junior. Even if the tamer's level is not high, as long as there is the original master's instruction, the pet will cooperate with the tamer in battle.

In this situation, it is almost impossible for the beast tamer to suffer a backlash.

This is the only answer that Chaoxia could come up with.

"I'm sorry, you guessed wrong."

"I met the Great Wolf in the Hoenn region. When I first met it, it was still a Pomeranian."

Chi Hong said with a look of reminiscence.

He didn't say that it was just a house dog that evolved into a Great Hound to complete the Pokédex, but had been sitting in its box collecting dust ever since, never getting a chance to be used.

In anime, trainers' Pokémon grow stronger the more they raise, without any limitations on base stats. They can easily defeat Pokémon with a type advantage, or even fight pseudo-legendary Pokémon to a standstill on the roadside...

However, if the version of himself in the game were placed in the anime, he would definitely not be considered a "good" person.

To complete the Pokédex, I would just put the Pokémon I caught in a box to gather dust. In order to get good individual values, I would force the Pokémon to breed with Ditto and then frantically hatch the eggs!

Gamers not only need good individual stats, they also need flashy moves!

For the sake of a Shiny Pokémon, one might manually refresh the map hundreds or even thousands of times. If this were in the world of anime, it would be the work of a major villain!

Fortunately, Chi Hong now seems to possess a cheat code that combines games and anime!

"The Hoenn region?"

"Never heard of that...Are you kidding me?"

Asaka looked puzzled; she had indeed never heard of the place name Hoenn.
