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

No one else objected; they simply waited for the man with the dark face to speak.

The meeting was much more harmonious than Chi Hong had imagined.

"Can."

"So, the arrangements for next month are settled."

"Assassin... Crimson."

"Come with me."

The man with the dark face spoke, and everyone stood up and started walking outside.

"Hello, Crimson, my name is Little Rabbit. If you're going to Jiangnan..."

"You can come play with me!"

The little rabbit glanced at Chi Hong, then extended her right hand. On her right hand was a ring with a large diamond, which Chi Hong could immediately tell was actually plastic...

However, her code name has already been mentioned by the white-haired old man, so there's no need for her to introduce herself again.

"Is this brat really that obsessed with my Lucario?"

Chi Hong inwardly complained, but nodded and gave her a light handshake.

Jiangnan is actually not far from Jinling; it's much closer than Yanjing.

Even without Dragonite, Chi Hong could easily make the round trip on Rapidash.

"I'll be waiting for you in the passageway. Seize this opportunity. Of course, if I do this, you'll normally be unable to escape the assassin organization."

"The leader will never agree to this."

Chao Wen said softly, then left the room. He didn't try to hide his words, which meant that the S-rank black-faced man could hear him.

"Heave-ho..."

The man with the dark face let out a cry that only comes out when he exerts force, but he simply sat up straight.

He leaned on the table, slowly stood up, and then stretched out a big, lazy yawn!

"Crimson Assassin, what do you need?"

A voice suddenly rang out behind Chi Hong's ear. Startled, Chi Hong immediately took a step forward and looked over.

He's no longer in that meeting room.

This is a peaceful grassland where the grass grows almost as tall as a person!

"What the hell?"

Chi Hong was a little nervous. This was something he hadn't expected. In an instant, without him having any time to react, he was taken to another place.

Is this fucking right?

"Don't panic, this is my pet space. You're... kind of handsome."

"He's almost more handsome than me."

The man with the dark, misty face said with a smile. It was a smile because he touched his face as he spoke, and the mist from his face appeared on his hand.

Only then did Chi Hong realize that the mist was actually a pet beast!

Mysterious Black Mist: Grade A.

Attributes: Mystic, Telekinesis

Characteristic: Undetectable; any object obscured by the mysterious black mist cannot be detected.

The leader had a handsome face, just like his voice; he was a dashing young man. However, his eyes lacked spirit and were very cloudy.

The instant I received information about my pet.

Chi Hong immediately sensed it—it was the feeling of being moved!

However, Chi Hong's Pokémon were not unlocked, which made him very upset!

Chi Hong took off his mask. Since he couldn't pretend in front of this S-class person, he didn't care anymore.

Wow!

"I was actually lying to you. I couldn't see your face because it was covered by a mask. But you are indeed a little handsome, though of course, not as handsome as me."

The leader chuckled, and Chi Hong immediately felt a wave of exasperation.

How could the leader of assassins in charge of an entire province have such a personality...?

Why would you joke with a newcomer like him?

Did they come to deceive him, to ambush an 18-year-old handsome young man?

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you, but it's quite amusing to tease a young and fresh guy like you."

"Getting back to the point, what are you lacking?"

The leader lay down on the spot, on the grass, then broke off a blade of grass beside him, snapped it, and put the straightest part in his mouth.

He looked...very relaxed, not at all like a leader of assassins.

"Can I have anything I want?" Chi Hong took a few steps forward and looked around. Although this was the leader's pet space, he didn't see any pets.

"No, I'm not a god."

"It must be something I can do and am willing to do."

"They are all excellent members of the assassination organization, handpicked by me. I completely trust the people they bring."

"Even a strange boy like you, whose aura is extremely unstable and could explode at the slightest carelessness."

The leader sat up, rested his chin on his hand, and a hint of interest appeared on his face.

"My... breathing is unstable?"

"I feel fine?"

Chi Hong felt strange. He had been in good form and had never suffered a crushing defeat in any of his battles so far. In fact, most of his battles had been decisive victories.

"You haven't been a Beast Tamer for long, have you?" The leader's words surprised Chi Hong. How could he tell that?

"Yes." Chi Hong nodded.

"That's right."

"Judging from your aura, you have no fewer than 10 pets in your pet space. You should know that those pet tamers who are publicly known as A-level are quite different."

"The beast taming space can't hold that many. Normally, six is ​​the limit."

"Otherwise, if one's own strength is insufficient and the pet space is not robust enough, carrying too many pets will cause the energy to become disordered, and the person will not feel anything."

"But what if it gets out of control?"

"Your place will explode into a rotten watermelon."

"It's normal that you don't know this, and it's not surprising. What A-level beast tamer has the ability to keep more than 6 pets in the pet space? There are very few people like that."

The leader pointed at Chi Hong's head, his tone very serious. He was indeed earnestly explaining things to Chi Hong, as an S-rank beast tamer.

"Is it that serious?" Chi Hong expressed his doubt. He was cheating, not a regular Beastmaster, and his Pokémon were not pets.

"It's serious. My eyes—well, I wouldn't call them eyes, but it's this part of me—" the leader said, pointing to his cloudy eyes, "I can see perfectly clearly."

"Given your situation, you should have exploded long ago. Something strange is protecting your consciousness, and it seems to be..."

"Never mind, I can't tell anymore."

"Pet, fruit, item, or something else? Name your price."

The leader lay back down, showing no airs of authority whatsoever, and even appearing lazy.

"I want to see the strongest pet of an S-rank Beastmaster."

Chi Hong said seriously, "That's right, seeing even more powerful pets is what he needs most right now!"

"Look at my S-rank pet beast?" The leader didn't mind the trouble and sat up again after lying down.

"Yes."

Chi Hong nodded.

"Strange request? Fine, I'll grant your request, but not the strongest one. I can show you the one that's been with me the longest, which is also an S-rank."

"This request doesn't count as a resource. During our subsequent journey through the forbidden areas, if you see any ferocious beasts that catch your eye, I can make an exception and help you beat one into a pig's head so you can tame it."

The leader said, and Chi Hong instantly felt that this person was trustworthy. No wonder Chao Wen was willing to work for him!
