"Then, Manager, I'll leave Starmie and the others to you."
A girl with twin pigtails bowed to Lucas and requested.
"Don't worry, we will definitely take good care of them until you come back to pick them up."
Lucas said with a smile.
Then he had James take Starmie and the others to the backyard.
The twin-tailed girl nodded, then turned and left.
After Lucas saw off the twin-tailed girl, he was about to sit down and rest for a while.
The next customer arrived.
"Manager, Manager, do you have any good Pokémon to recommend?"
Lucas immediately stood up and continued the conversation.
"I do."
Finally, Lucas sold a Scyther pokémon egg for 160,000.
After seeing off this trainer again, Lucas collapsed into a chair.
What was going on today? Why were there so many customers?
Since waking up and opening the door this morning, five waves of customers had already arrived.
Two were for Pokémon boarding, two were for buying pokémon eggs, and one bought the Poison Sting.
"Are all the customers gone?"
Cynthia's voice sounded.
Lucas, still lying in his chair, yawned and replied.
"Yeah, it's been quite busy today, but why are you awake so early today?"
Cynthia skillfully took the breakfast Mime Jr. handed her and sat in the lounge area to eat.
"Actually, I woke up early, but I didn't come down when I saw there were customers in the shop."
Cynthia, who had woken up early, had just finished washing up and was about to go downstairs when she noticed customers downstairs. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Cynthia chose not to go downstairs but waited upstairs for the customers to leave.
Lucas nodded and didn't continue speaking.
"Lucas."
"What's wrong?"
Lucas replied with narrowed eyes.
"My friend wants to stay at the Breeding House for two days, is that okay?"
Lucas opened his eyes.
Cynthia's friend?
Who is it?
Could it be Diantha?
Lucas asked:
"No problem, but may I know who is coming?"
"Shauntal, an Elite Four from the Unova region."
Cynthia swallowed her breakfast and said.
"She said she recently hit a bottleneck in her novel writing and was looking for a quiet place, so I recommended this place to her."
"But you are the owner of the Breeding House, so I must ask for your opinion."
Shauntal?
Shauntal's image appeared in Lucas's mind.
Shauntal, the Ghost-type Elite Four of Unova.
Lucas nodded.
"When is she coming?"
"She should be arriving soon."
Cynthia replied indifferently.
Lucas immediately jumped up from his chair.
"She's already arriving soon?"
Cynthia's cheeks puffed out, and she nodded.
"So she came early this morning?"
Cynthia nodded.
"Then why did you still ask me if she could come?"
"Because I knew you wouldn't refuse."
Cynthia smiled slightly.
Lucas sighed helplessly.
After thinking for a moment, he lay back down in his chair.
The next second, Cynthia seemed to sense something and stood up, walking towards the door.
Watching Cynthia's back, Lucas climbed out of his chair again.
He followed behind Cynthia.
Arriving at the entrance, he saw Cynthia pulling a woman with purple hair and glasses by the hand, walking in.
Lucas recognized at a glance that this was Shauntal, the Ghost-type Elite Four of the Unova region.
"Lucas, this is Shauntal, the Ghost-type Elite Four from the Unova region."
"He is Lucas, the one I often talk about."
Often talk about?
Lucas keenly noticed the key point.
His mood brightened.
"Hello, welcome to the Breeding House."
Lucas greeted with a smile.
Shauntal was curiously observing Lucas.
She was curious about this person Cynthia kept mentioning and found that he didn't look like a powerful trainer. Her doubts deepened.
However, she still greeted him politely at this moment.
"I'll be imposing during my stay."
"You're welcome."
Lucas waved his hand, indicating it was fine, then looked at Cynthia.
"Should I take her to her room, or will she share a room with you?"
Cynthia hesitated, questioned Shauntal with her eyes, and finally said:
"Sharing a room with me is fine."
Lucas nodded, then had Cynthia take Shauntal back to her room.
He, meanwhile, sat back in his chair.
He had Lilligant come and sit beside him, and he chatted with Lilligant while cracking melon seeds.
After a while, Cynthia, who had finished tidying up, came downstairs with Shauntal and found Lucas sitting there cracking melon seeds.
"Laji~"
Lilligant greeted them.
Shauntal recognized this as Lilligant from their Unova region, and she looked very well-trained.
The flowers on her head were very vibrant and beautiful, accompanied by wafts of fragrant floral scent.
After spending so much time together, Cynthia no longer paid attention to Lucas, who was cracking melon seeds in the lounge area, and directly took Shauntal to the backyard.
Arriving in the backyard, Cynthia first took Shauntal on a tour of the entire backyard.
Shauna was playing with Mime Jr. and the others when she saw a beautiful older sister accompanying Cynthia.
She quickly ran over.
"Sister Cynthia."
Cynthia smiled and hugged Shauna.
"Sister Cynthia, who is this older sister?"
Cynthia introduced her.
"Hello, Sister Shauntal."
Shauna greeted sweetly.
Seeing such a delicate little girl, Shauntal was utterly smitten.
She reached out and picked Shauna up from Cynthia's arms, then followed Cynthia.
They continued to tour the Breeding House's backyard.
Shauntal looked at the large number of wild Pokémon in the entire backyard. Cynthia had already told her about the general situation of the Breeding House before she arrived.
So she wasn't very surprised.
After a full circuit, they arrived at the entrance of the forest.
"Let's go, let's go back."
Cynthia glanced at the somewhat eerie forest, then turned and said.
"What's wrong? Not going in to look?"
Shauntal was also a bit curious about the inside; the Breeding House actually had no fence at the entrance of the forest.
"With our strength, we shouldn't be afraid of those wild Pokémon, right?"
Cynthia shook her head.
As a Champion whose strength was among the best, she would definitely be afraid of the Pokémon inside the forest.
"It's not fear, but we won't have a better experience if we go in."
Listening to Cynthia's words, Shauntal was a little confused.
"Only if Lucas takes us in, will we be friends with the entire forest."
After saying that, Cynthia recounted the story of the forest's friendship with the Breeding House.
Shauntal was stunned.
Can one person become friends with an entire forest?
At this moment, she suddenly recalled those people Lance had mentioned who possessed Viridian power.
Could Lucas be one of them too?
As if knowing what Shauntal was thinking, Cynthia shook her head.
"He, he's just an ordinary person."
At this point, Cynthia couldn't help but laugh. "Let's go, let's go back."
Cynthia didn't realize that her action of laughing when talking about Lucas was noticed by Shauntal.
Therefore, Shauntal became even more curious about Lucas.
Thump.
A Staravia landed on a tree not far from them.
It's time to eat.
After understanding Staravia's meaning, Cynthia nodded.
Seeing Staravia, Shauna got down from Shauntal and ran forward.
At the same time, she kept shouting.
"Sister Cynthia, Sister Shauntal, let's hurry, Uncle told us to go back and eat."
Cynthia quickly followed.
And Shauntal looked at the Staravia in the tree.
She could tell that this Staravia was very well-trained.
After Staravia nodded to her and left, she also followed Shauna's pace.
