I'm at Hogwarts, what the heck is this Primordial System?

Chapter 21 Fantastic Beasts and Pokémon: What If We Could Win?

"Pokémon?"

Warwick looked completely bewildered upon hearing the unfamiliar name Rhein utter.

This is understandable, since it's only 1991 now, and there are still five years until Pokémon was first released on the Game Boy in 1996.

Let alone Warwick being a wizard in the magical world, even the most enthusiastic gamers wouldn't know the name Pokémon.

But it doesn't matter. Since Nintendo hasn't released Pokémon yet, Rhine Labs, which is already a seasoned plagiarist, feels even less guilty about copying this concept.

"Yes, Pokémon, it's a project I'm still working on."

"By the way, I'm a famous author in the Muggle world, and my works are probably even more popular than Mr. Lockhart in the wizarding world. You can buy my works in any Muggle bookstore outside of Diagon Alley."

"I envisioned a world where Pokémon trainers and Pokémon live together, but after arriving in the magical world and seeing so many magical creatures, I suddenly felt that Merlin must be guiding me from the shadows."

"These amazing creatures, aren't they just Pokémon?"

Immediately afterward, Rhine began telling Warwick about Pokémon.

Warwick's eyes gradually brightened.

"In your story, Pokémon are trusted partners for everyone, whether they are ordinary citizens or professionals, good people or bad people, they will all raise Pokémon."

"The most outstanding Pokémon trainers will also take their trained Pokémon to challenge various gyms, collect badges, and strive for the highest honor."

Do you think fantastic creatures could potentially become Pokémon in your stories?

Rhein nodded firmly.

"That's right."

"I have a dream that one day magical creatures will be companions that every wizard can rely on for survival."

"Raising and controlling magical creatures will become a required course for every wizard."

"Excuse my bluntness, but from what I understand now, wizards really don't value magical creatures at all. Many magical creatures that could play a huge role are just pets in the hands of wizards."

"But their power could clearly be used in a better way."

"Like the legendary magizoologist Lord Newt, whose magical creatures were even of great use in the battle against Grindelwald."

"If we can develop magical creatures into an ecosystem like Pokémon, then Mr. Warwick, this is not only a business that can create enormous wealth, fame, and status, but it will also drastically change the lives of wizards."

"Wizards who are not good at fighting can raise a powerful magical creature companion to protect themselves."

"Busy wizards can breed magical creature companions skilled in cleaning to help with their lives."

"Even those Squibs can experience the convenience of magic with the help of their magical creature companions."

"Furthermore, once wizards begin to pay unprecedented attention to magical creatures, research and breeding of magical creatures will explode, and there will be more and more magical creature species. These will be the wealth you leave to your descendants."

Warwick took a deep breath, his mind in turmoil.

At that moment, Rhine said softly.

"Mr. Warwick, are you still hesitating?"

"You can look around."

Warwick paused for a moment, then realized that his magical animal shop had become unusually quiet since earlier.

Why are those magical creatures, which are usually so noisy, so quiet?

He turned his head and looked around, and what he saw were the burning eyes of the magical creatures in the cage.

Rhine's words were heard not only by Warwick, but also by all the magical creatures.

They don't care about making a name for themselves in history.

They only care about one thing: the wizards and magical creatures that Rhine mentioned are partners.

If you absolutely must let them associate with wizards, then let them do what they are good at.

While such a future may not actually be achieved, it is at least better than spending one's entire life as a pet in a cage.

Warwick stared blankly at the magical creatures he had raised, his hesitation gradually dissipating and replaced by the spark of a dream.

"Okay, fine."

"I don't want to spend my whole life running a cramped magical creature shop, with all these magical creatures crammed into cages. It has to be a bigger shop, right?"

"The Fantastic Beasts and Pokémon Project, I'll think about how to do it."

His gaze fell on Rhine, a look of gratitude on his face.

"Rhine, thank you for providing me with such a valuable idea!"

Warwick immediately began to measure the store's dimensions again with great enthusiasm, seemingly intending to redecorate the store, which hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in over a decade, in preparation for the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Pokémon projects.

A slight smile appeared on Rhine's face.

He proposed this idea not only to get closer to Warwick more quickly, but also to prepare for the spirit beast breeding talent he could obtain from Warwick in the future.

If Warwick could truly create magical creatures in the wizarding world like Pokémon, the development of magical creatures would undoubtedly reach a new level.

Rhine will also benefit greatly from this in the future.

The talent for raising spirit beasts can truly shine!

Looking at the display on the system screen, Rhine was very satisfied that his relationship with Warwick had taken a step forward from casual acquaintance to close friendship.

However, now that Ollivander and Warwick are both busy, Rhein has become idle.

He planned to preview the Hogwarts magic textbooks.

It's always good to know a few spells in advance, as it will make things much easier in life.

At the same time, a thought flashed through Rhine's mind.

"Oh, and we can't neglect our relationship with Hermione either."

"This is the closest I've ever come to a life-or-death friendship. We must keep this going. In Deng Chanyu's hands, even immortals and gods can be beaten black and blue with the Five-Colored Light Stone. We can't miss this reward."

As for how to maintain a relationship with a top student like Hermione?

Of course, it's studying!

Rhine immediately found a phone booth and called Hermione's house.

After the call was connected, a gentle and mature female voice came from the other end.

"Hello, Granger family, who are you looking for?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Rhine quickly replied.

"Are you Mrs. Granger? My name is Rhine Snow, a friend of Hermione's. We met in Diagon Alley."

Is she home?

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Granger on the other end of the phone paused for a moment.

"Rhine Snow?"

"Wait, which Rhine Snow is it?"

"Could it be Rhein Snow, the author of that book?"

Rhine looked helpless.

"Yes, that's me."

The next second, Mrs. Granger let out a cry of surprise.

Wow!

"Mr. Rhine, our whole family are huge fans of your books. We never imagined you'd become friends with Hermione!"

"I'll go get her right now."

As they were talking, Mrs. Granger put down the phone and quickly called Hermione, who was studying in her room.

Upon hearing that it was Rhine calling her, Hermione rushed to the phone and spoke breathlessly.

"Rhine?"

Why did you call me?

Rhein smiled.

"There's still more than a month until school starts. I bet Hermione, you're probably practicing magic. It must be so boring practicing alone."

"How about we come to Diagon Alley and read a book together?"

After hanging up the phone, Hermione's heart raced, and she hurriedly packed her schoolbag.

"Mom, I need to go out for a bit."

Mrs. Granger asked with a smile.

"Dating?"

Hermione screamed.

"No, it's reading and studying!"

Mrs. Granger covered her mouth and laughed even harder.

"It's okay, darling. When I was in school with your father, we often used reading as an excuse to go on dates."

"I was thinking, besides your school uniform, shouldn't you bring a few nice outfits to Hogwarts? What if there's a ball there?"

Hermione's face flushed, and she fled the house as if escaping, shaking her head vigorously.

"Seriously, what are adults thinking? So vulgar!"

Immediately, she raised her head, her competitive spirit rising again.

In Muggle subjects, especially literature, Hermione felt she could never match Rhine's achievements in her entire life.

But now they are studying magic.

What if I could beat Rhine in magic?

Everyone needs to have dreams, right?
