Chapter 124: Gift Delivery Time!
【Your account has received 170,000 League Coins. Remaining balance: 1,046,581 League Coins】
Back home.
Just as Jing He sat down to have a drink, he saw the transfer notification and couldn't help but smile.
His savings had finally returned to the seven-figure mark.
Initially, he had over three million in his account.
However, he had spent a significant amount on "Power Bracers," rare metals, a batch of "Mind Seeds," and the materials needed to create more advanced energy blocks.
"At least I managed to recoup some of my losses."
Even though he was in this world, Jing He always felt a sense of "not having enough money or ammo," a feeling akin to a "rabbit heart."
"Chirp!"
After a brief rest, Jing He was about to get up and start cooking when Little Blacksmith's actions caught his attention.
He saw it assume a baseball batting stance.
One hand gently tossed a fist-sized ice crystal, which slowly floated up.
Seeing this, Jing He immediately realized something.
He quickly looked toward the balcony.
There, a Pidgeot was flapping its wings and flying over.
"Little Blacksmith, stop!"
Jing He hurriedly called out.
"Chirp?"
Hearing Jing He's voice, Little Blacksmith paused, but the hammering motion was already underway. It quickly adjusted its angle.
The ice block wasn't hit and tumbled on the ground, rolling a couple of times, but Little Blacksmith's hammer made intimate contact with the floor.
Crack, crack, crack—
The floor was instantly marked with a large scratch.
Fortunately, Little Blacksmith managed to control its strength and didn't break through the floor.
Jing He rubbed his forehead.
It seemed the "Power Bracer" was no longer enough to restrain Little Blacksmith.
Why did everyone else's Little Blacksmith fix things, while his just smashed them?
"Oooow~~"
Ice Fox's tail, wrapped around Little Blacksmith's Steelix plushie, ran over.
"Chirp~~"
At this moment, Little Blacksmith finally realized its mistake.
Meanwhile, the Pidgeot that had just landed on the balcony and was about to wave was also startled.
"Beep! Σ()"
No need for such a grand welcome, right?
Jing He rubbed his temples and walked to the balcony. Gastly followed.
"You are..." Jing He asked.
"Beep! Beep!"
The Pidgeot's eyes lit up upon seeing Jing He, and it started flailing its wings excitedly.
"Kyeak~~"
Gastly served as the translator.
It's here to deliver something.
"Huh?"
Deliver something?
Jing He didn't remember buying anything in the past two days.
But just as he was puzzled, the Pidgeot started rummaging through what looked like a backpack on its back.
Indeed, the white, bulging part on the Pidgeot's back was actually its unique hollow tail.
"Beep."
As the Pidgeot rummaged, various items fell out.
Fish bones, a fruit pit from some unknown fruit.
Ding, ding, ding—
Suddenly, a metal badge dropped from its tail.
When Jing He saw the badge, his eyes widened.
It was a bright red "R" badge!
The Team Rocket badge!
Damn, this Pidgeot is a Team Rocket messenger bird?!
"Beep~~"
The Pidgeot seemed to realize it had dropped something it shouldn't have, but it remained calm, even gesturing to Jing He to pick it up.
Jing He's eyes twitched.
Is it really okay for this thing to fall so easily?
Pretending not to understand the significance of the badge, he picked it up for the Pidgeot.
"Beep~~"
Thank you.
The Pidgeot even politely thanked him before continuing to rummage.
"Kyeak~~"
Gastly gently tugged at Jing He's clothes and whispered.
That badge... looks pretty nice, doesn't it?
Jing He shot it an irritated glance.
Nice?
If anyone saw that badge, they'd be eating free meals at the League Police Station tomorrow.
Not getting the "reaction" it wanted, Gastly eyed the Pidgeot's bulging tail with a mischievous look.
It might not look big, but it can really hide things, and it seems to have quite a few good items. It even caught a glimpse of something that glinted inside.
If it had Little Blacksmith's ability...
Even a bird flying by would have to leave a few feathers behind!
"Beep!"
The Pidgeot finally found what it was looking for and let out a startled cry.
A Luxury Ball!
Through the transparent surface of the ball, Jing He could see a Pokemon inside, apparently a Nidorina!
Sure enough.
This was a Pidgeot sent by Giovanni to deliver the Nidorina.
When he saw the dropped badge, Jing He had a hunch about what the Pidgeot was delivering.
Last night, Giovanni had asked him to help with Nidorina's psychological issues.
Upon learning that Nidorina was depressed due to a broken heart, Jing He, who had never handled such a case before, immediately said he needed some time to prepare a plan.
When Giovanni asked how long it would take, he casually mentioned that if he could intervene in person, it might help faster.
He didn't expect that... it would be delivered today!
The Hoenn region isn't far from Kanto and Johto, just west of Johto, separated by a small sea, which is why Wobbuffet could fly over for a visit.
Looking at the Luxury Ball, Jing He felt like it was a hot potato.
Just yesterday, he had received reimbursement materials from the Investigation Department, and today, he had become a special instructor at the League Police Station. Now, at night, he received a Pokemon from Team Rocket's leader, Giovanni, that needed "treatment"?
Either this world has gone mad, or... I have.
"Beep~"
The Pidgeot tilted its head and waved its hand.
Take it.
On the quiet rooftop at night.
At this moment, Jing He was grateful he lived on the top floor.
"Beep?"
The Pidgeot looked down at Jing He, who was crouching in front of it, holding out a handful of Energy Orbs. Its eyes sparkled with delight.
"Go ahead, don't be shy."
After all, the Pidgeot had flown a long way to deliver something, and once Nidorina was "treated," it would likely have to make the trip back. Besides, Pidgeots are generally friendly and close to humans. They have a habit of sharing their food with both humans and Pokemon. It's said that people in distress have been saved by Pidgeot's food.
Except for the Masked Man's Pidgeot, of course.
That one could even freeze a Ho-Oh!
The Pidgeot didn't hesitate, grabbing an Energy Orb and tossing it into its mouth.
"Beep! (><)"
The Pidgeot's eyes glowed.
These were much better than the Energy Orbs it usually got at Team Rocket!
"Beep beep."
After eating one, the Pidgeot started rummaging through its tail pouch again, but this time, it was much quicker.
"Beep!"
It happily pulled out a "gift" and offered it to Jing He.
A gift?
Jing He's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
"Gift" is a move that relies heavily on luck. While there's a chance it could provide a healing effect, with his luck...
It was probably going to be a bomb, right?
But faced with the Pidgeot's eager gaze, Jing He gritted his teeth and handed the move to Gastly.
Gastly: "???"
Before Gastly could react, Jing He quickly opened the "gift."
To his surprise, there was no explosion. Inside the box was a small, finger-sized, shallow golden fragment that glowed faintly like metal.
Jing He was taken aback.
"Vitality Shard?"
[Vitality Shard: Can be used on a Pokemon that has lost its ability to battle. Not only does it wake the Pokemon, but it also restores half of its health.]
'Maybe I have a lucky streak today?'
Clearly, Jing He was overthinking. The Pidgeot hadn't used the move "Gift" but had simply given a wrapped present.
"Beep~~"
The Pidgeot grinned and then proceeded to give gifts to Gastly, Weavile, and Heatran.
"Gast!"
Gastly received a brand new pair of sunglasses, which it immediately put on, clearly delighted.
"Gast? Gast!"
Eh? Where's the moon? Turn on the lights!
Weavile received a crystal comb, which it immediately used to groom its already shiny white fur, making it feel even smoother.
"Ooh~~"
It was Heatran's turn.
When it opened the box and took out the contents, all the Pokemon, including Jing He, were stunned.
"Chu? (〃ｏ〃)"
In its hand was a green caterpillar!
"Beep, Beep! Σ(дlll)"
The Pidgeot seemed just as surprised and quickly snatched the caterpillar back, tucking it into its tail pouch.
Since Pidgeots are omnivores, it's not unusual for them to sometimes get insect Pokemon as gifts.
"Beep beep~~"
Finally, the Pidgeot apologized and handed Heatran half a stone.
It was a fragment of a Hard Stone, which could help Heatran train the move Rock Blast.
"Chu?"
Heatran could sense something different about the stone and started drooling.
At that moment, even Jing He's gaze toward the Pidgeot's tail pouch became a bit odd.
Maybe...
"Come on out, Nidorina."
Jing He threw a Luxury Ball.
A red light flashed, and a Nidorina, clad in light blue armor with a single horn on its head, appeared on the rooftop.
Thump!
As soon as it appeared, it plopped down on the ground, barely glancing at Jing He and the others, looking completely listless and droopy.
Nidorina, a Poison/Ground-type Pokemon, is like Heatran in that it is only female, with its male counterpart being Nidoking.
According to Jing He's experience with the games, Nidorina and its pre-evolution, Nidorina, belong to the "Undiscovered" egg group.
This means that, theoretically, Nidorina and Nidorina cannot lay eggs, while their initial form, Nidoran♀, belongs to the "Field" egg group, the same as Nidoran♂.
This couldn't help but make one think that Nidoking...
Should be in jail!
Cough.
The real Pokemon world probably doesn't have such strange settings.
Jing He looked at Nidorina.
Before he could say anything, Nidorina suddenly stood up, its previous lethargy gone. Jing He could see a spark of determination in its eyes.
Gastly and the others immediately rushed to Jing He's side.
However, Nidorina's gaze wasn't on Jing He but on something in the distance.
There, a pair of Zubats were flying slowly by.
"Neet!!"
Nidorina roared, a golden arc of energy forming on its horn before transforming into a terrifying golden bolt that streaked through the night sky.
Thunderbolt!
From a considerable distance, the Thunderbolt struck one of the male Zubats.
Don't ask how Jing He knew it was a male.
The other Zubat, startled by the sudden attack, watched as its mate fell to the ground, blackened. It let out a cry and hurried after it.
Nidorina snorted, a plume of white vapor escaping its nostrils.
"Neet!"
It plopped back down, reverting to its listless state.
For a moment, Gastly and the others were frozen in place, and a cold sweat dripped down Jing He's forehead.
The symptoms of heartbreak seemed rather severe...
