"All right…"
Seeing Lin Feng say this, Lola Su could only nod.
Having completed the first goal, Lin Feng quickly moved on to the second.
Happiny!
He had just learned that Happy Foods Co. was indeed owned by Lola Su's father.
Lin Feng didn't hesitate. "There's one more thing…"
"Ah? What is it?"
"You just said your family runs Happy Foods Co., right? Well, I also want to raise a Happiny…"
At this, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.
He had already wanted a Blissey egg, and now he wanted a Happiny as well. Perhaps this was a bit much.
Lola Su looked surprised. "Lin, you want to raise a Happiny?"
"Yes… If you've seen my video channel, you'd know I really like raising Pokémon that can produce food ingredients."
"Mm-hmm!" Lola Su nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling as if she suddenly remembered something. "Right, Milotic is so cute, Brimmy too. Though the male Servine is always so serious, it looks kind of adorable… And Gardevoir is so elegant, yet so powerful! So many strong winds from the Pidgeot, yet it still wants to see if it's completely unharmed."
It was clear she was either a die-hard fan who had followed his channel for a long time or a new fan who had watched all of his uploaded videos.
The girl kept talking.
Her excitement built with each sentence, and halfway through, her gaze even flickered with a hint of frustration.
Such a powerful trainer, yet he still participated in the Youth Cup. For trainers just beginning their journeys, that was incredibly intimidating.
But she quickly realized that this was only the second time she had seen Lin Feng today, so complaining like this was a little too much.
She remembered the question Lin Feng had asked earlier and looked slightly embarrassed. "Normally, Happiny eggs produce new happiness values during the transition from winter to spring."
Because they needed a plant called Lucky Grass to generate happiness.
But this grass only appeared during that short period, and its availability was extremely limited.
Moreover… Happiny were very important to the company. I don't have the authority to make decisions for my father. I can only discuss it with him…
Hearing this, Lin Feng didn't think it was strange.
He simply said, "Is that so? No problem. Just ask your father for me."
"So, should I have Pidgeot deliver more Moomoo Milk after it finishes, or wait until it's done?"
"Yes, yes! Wait until it finishes, then send it over. Thank you, Lin."
Perhaps because Lin Feng was easier to communicate with than she had expected, Lola Su's confidence in speaking also increased. "Lin, do you want to add me on WeChat? Once I ask my dad and he agrees to join Happiny, I'll let you know."
"All right!"
Lin Feng didn't hesitate to take out his phone.
After exchanging WeChat contact information, he had no reason to stay any longer.
He said his goodbyes and, under the girl's watchful eyes, rode Pidgeot into the sky.
…
"I didn't expect to settle this all at once. That's unbelievable…"
On the way back, high above the ground,
Lin Feng stared at the Pokéball in his hand,
his emotions surging.
He had originally thought finding a high-quality Happiny egg would be troublesome.
Unexpectedly, he had only delivered a simple order, yet not only did he obtain an A-rank Happiny egg, he had also gotten ahead of Happiny Co.
"I hope her father agrees."
Filled with joy, Pidgeot slowly carried Lin Feng back to the nursery's entrance.
But the moment he arrived, he froze.
"Woof woof!"
A crisp, young bark made him stop in his tracks.
At the entrance, a Growlithe and a Hattrem were barking at him. His mind went blank.
Bright, lively eyes, thick fur, a tail wagging upright, and distinct markings.
The bark it gave him made him feel a mix of curiosity and excitement.
"A real Pokémon dog!" (This was the Growlithe that Mayor Grandpa had promised to bring to him before…)
Hattrem introduced Growlithe's background.
Then, addressing Growlithe, Hattrem said, "Gardevoir~! This is Lin Feng. He is our trainer, and from now on, he is your trainer. You must not bark at him!"
"Woof?"
Growlithe listened to Hattrem and, originally standing tall, lowered its tail between its legs. Curiously, it approached Lin Feng and sniffed his pant leg.
After a while, it seemed to accept Lin Feng. The low, slightly agitated growl turned into a gentle whine.
Its tail wagged again, more joyfully than before…
Still, it held onto Lin Feng's pant leg in its mouth and shook it.
"Woof woof~"
Lin Feng finally snapped out of his daze. He looked down at Growlithe and picked it up.
Without looking back, he asked Hattrem, "Did Mayor Grandpa arrive early?"
He gazed at the lively Growlithe, which was sticking out its tongue, trying to lick him. Lin Feng couldn't help but reach out and play with its nose.
"Indeedee!" (Yes, after leaving Growlithe here, he left.)
"Eevee~"
Lin Feng nodded and pinched Growlithe's nose. The little one didn't resist at all, though it soon sneezed.
"Oh, good! I thought Mayor Grandpa was joking, sending you so late, but he really did send you, little guy!"
"Woof woof~"
Growlithe stuck out its tongue, attempting to lick its own nose, but ended up licking Lin Feng's hand instead.
Lin Feng finally let go.
As a canine Pokémon, Growlithe's evolved form, Arcanine, was not only calm but also majestic, making it a perfect guardian for a home.
Though the Ice-type Ninetales and Eevee were also nice.
However, considering Ninetales' active nature, assigning it to guard the house would be too difficult.
As for Eevee, there was little hope.
So,
Lin Feng looked at the Growlithe in his hands and grew more fond of it. "My winter hand-warmer, it's up to you now~"
