People are in Hogwarts, What the hell is the flood system?

"Pokémon?"

Warwick looked utterly perplexed upon hearing the unfamiliar name from Rhine's mouth.

This was only natural, as it was currently 1991, a full five years before Pokémon's debut on the GameBoy in 1996.

Forget Warwick being a wizard in the magical world; even the trendiest gamers at the forefront of gaming wouldn't know the name Pokémon right now.

But no matter, since Nintendo hadn't released Pokémon yet, Rhine, a seasoned plagiarist, felt no guilt in lifting the concept.

"Yes, Pokémon. It's a work I'm still developing."

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

"I envisioned a world where Pokémon trainers and Pokémon lived together, but after coming to the magical world and seeing so many magical creatures, I suddenly felt that Merlin was guiding me from the shadows."

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

Immediately, Rhine began telling Warwick about Pokémon.

Warwick's eyes gradually brightened.

"In your story, Pokémon are trusted partners to everyone, whether ordinary citizens or professionals, good people or bad, everyone raises Pokémon."

"The most outstanding Pokémon trainers even take their nurtured Pokémon to challenge various gyms, collect badges, and strive for the ultimate honor."

"Do you think magical creatures could become Pokémon in your story?"

Rhine nodded decisively.

"That's right."

"I have a dream, a dream that one day magical creatures will be partners that every wizard relies on for survival."

"Raising magical creatures and mastering magical creatures will become a compulsory course for every wizard."

"Frankly, from what I understand, wizards don't value magical creatures enough. Many magical creatures that could play a huge role are only used as pets by wizards."

"But their power clearly deserves to be better utilized."

"Like the legendary magizoologist Mr. Newt, his magical creatures could even play a huge role in the fight against Grindelwald."

"If we can create an ecosystem where magical creatures are like Pokémon, then Mr. Warwick, this isn't just a business that can create huge wealth, fame, and status, but it will also greatly change the lives of wizards."

"Wizards who aren't good at fighting can raise a powerful magical creature partner to protect themselves."

"Wizards who are busy with work can raise magical creature partners that are good at cleaning to help with their lives."

"Even Squibs can use magical creature partners to experience the convenience of magic."

"Moreover, once wizards begin to value magical creatures as never before, research and breeding related to magical creatures will explode, and there will be more and more magical creature species, all of which will be a legacy you leave to future generations."

Warwick took a deep breath, his mind in turmoil.

At this moment, Rhine said softly.

"Mr. Warwick, are you still hesitating?"

"You can look around."

Warwick was taken aback, only then realizing that his magical creature shop had become unusually quiet since just now.

What happened to the magical creatures that were usually clamoring?

He turned to look around, and what he saw were the fiery gazes of the magical creatures in their cages.

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

They didn't care about being remembered in history.

They only cared about one thing, and that was the partnership between wizards and magical creatures that Rhine mentioned.

If they had to live with wizards, then let them do what they were good at.

Although such a future might not necessarily be achieved, at least it was better than spending a lifetime in a cage as a pet.

Warwick stared blankly at the magical creatures he raised, the hesitation in his heart gradually dissipating, replaced by the fire of dreams.

"Okay, alright."

"I don't want to spend my whole life guarding a crowded magical creature shop, letting these magical creatures pile up in cages. It has to be a bigger shop, at least."

"I'll think about how to do the Magical Creature Pokémon project."

He looked at Rhine, a look of gratitude on his face.

"Rhine, thank you for giving me such valuable ideas!"

Immediately, Warwick began to remeasure the dimensions of the store with enthusiasm, seemingly planning to thoroughly renovate the shop that hadn't been cleaned in over a decade, in preparation for the upcoming Magical Creature Pokémon project.

A smile appeared on Rhine's face.

He proposed this idea not only to quickly build a closer relationship with Warwick, but also to prepare himself for the Spirit Beast Breeding talent that he would soon obtain from Warwick.

If Warwick could really make the magical creatures of the wizarding world like Pokémon, the breeding of magical creatures would inevitably reach a new level.

Rhine would also be able to reap many benefits from it in the future.

The Spirit Beast Breeding talent could shine brilliantly!

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

But now, with Ollivander and Warwick both busy, Rhine was idle instead.

He planned to preview Hogwarts' magic textbooks.

Mastering a few spells in advance was a good thing after all, at least it would make some things in life more convenient.

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

"That's right, I can't neglect my relationship with Hermione either."

"This is the closest I've ever been to a life-or-death friendship, I have to keep it up. The Five-Colored Stone in Deng Chanyu's hands can even beat immortals and gods black and blue, I can't miss this reward."

As for how to maintain a relationship with a bookworm like Hermione?

That was of course through studying!

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

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

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

Rhine quickly said.

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

"Is she home?"

As soon as he said this, Mrs. Granger on the other end of the phone suddenly paused.

"Rhine Snow?"

"Wait, which Rhine Snow is this?"

"Could it be that Rhine Snow who writes books?"

Rhine showed a helpless expression.

"Yes, it's me."

In the next second, Mrs. Granger exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow!"

"Mr. Rhine, our whole family are your loyal fans. I didn't expect you to become friends with Hermione?"

"I'll go get her right now."

As she spoke, Mrs. Granger put down the phone and quickly called Hermione, who was previewing her lessons in her room.

Upon hearing that Rhine was looking for her, Hermione quickly ran to the phone, panting.

"Rhine?"

"Why are you calling me?"

Rhine smiled.

"There's still more than a month before school starts. I figured you must be previewing magic, and practicing alone is so boring."

"Why don't you come to Diagon Alley and we can read together?"

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

"Mom, I'm going out."

Mrs. Granger asked with a smile.

"A date?"

Hermione screamed.

"No, it's reading, studying!"

Mrs. Granger covered her mouth and laughed even harder.

"It's okay, dear. When your father and I were in school, we often used reading as an excuse for dates."

"I'm wondering if you should bring some pretty clothes to Hogwarts besides your uniform? What if there's a dance there?"

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

"Really, what are adults thinking? Vulgar!"

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

In Muggle subjects, especially literature, Hermione felt that she might never be able to compare with Rhine's achievements in her life.

But now they were studying magical subjects.

What if she could beat Rhine in magic?

A person always has to have some dreams, right?
