“Sister Yuki!”
Roy pushed the door open and leaned his upper body against the front desk of the Pokémon store.
He skillfully greeted the female clerk at the front desk, who had her hair tied in a high ponytail and had fair skin with a few freckles.
While simultaneously teasing the pink, star-shaped Pokémon beside her.
The League Store was under the management of the League.
As the store manager, Yuki’s position was equivalent to a grassroots civil servant of the League, enjoying various League benefits.
Who would have thought!
There are civil service exams in another world too.
“Cleffa, have you missed me lately?”
“Cleffa!”
Cleffa waved its little hand, indicating that it hadn’t missed him at all.
Roy didn’t care whether it missed him or not; he picked up Cleffa and started cuddling it.
The more Roy cuddled it, the more addicted he became to Cleffa’s soft touch.
He was certain that this must be a Cleffa with the Cute Charm ability; otherwise, why would he feel so addicted every time he cuddled it?
Cleffa struggled vigorously and finally managed to break free from Roy’s wandering hands.
It angrily accused Roy to Yuki of the atrocities he had just committed against it.
But in Roy’s eyes, Cleffa’s angry expression was just it trying to Charm him, inviting him to do it again.
“You invited me yourself, so don’t blame me!”
After another round of playing around, until Cleffa hit Roy with a Double Slap, forcing Roy to put Cleffa down, it barely managed to escape Roy’s wandering hands.
“Detestable human!”
Every time he came, he messed up its carefully styled hair.
Cleffa skillfully jumped down from the front desk, opened a drawer, took out a comb and a mirror, and began to tidy up its curls in front of the mirror.
Roy, with empty hands, felt a wave of regret.
It seemed he was only popular among Ghost-type Pokémon.
The female clerk, Yuki, covered her slightly upturned mouth while watching the friendly interaction between Roy and her Cleffa.
Usually, the fearless Cleffa was only afraid of Roy coming to cuddle it.
Roy discovered that humans in the Pokémon world were generally very good-looking, especially the girls.
At any rate, almost everyone he had met looked like a big celebrity.
“Sister Yuki, give me two Poké Balls.”
“You’ve applied for an ID card?”
Roy dashingly took out his ID card and 1000 Pokedollars.
Yuki took the ID card from his hand and compared it with his portrait, then verified it at the card reader on the League front desk.
It was indeed Roy.
She was very familiar with Roy, but some procedures couldn’t be skipped just because they were close.
After confirming it was correct a second time, Yuki turned and walked to the shelf, took out two Poké Balls, and after scanning Roy’s ID card, registered the two Poké Balls under Roy’s name.
“Congratulations on getting your ID card, little brother Roy.
I didn’t prepare anything in advance, so here is a gift for you.”
Yuki skillfully took out a beige bracelet with a blue crystal embedded in the center from the front desk.
Is this a space bracelet?
Roy naturally recognized the beige bracelet before him.
Since crossing over, he had been very interested in the technological products of the Pokémon world.
This space bracelet was a new generation product from Silph Co.
As long as you touch the blue crystal in the center, you can bind your identity.
After binding, touching the blue crystal again opens the space to store or retrieve personal items.
Although Roy really liked the space bracelet, he knew better that such a bracelet would definitely cost tens of thousands of Pokedollars.
With Yuki’s monthly income of 5000 Pokedollars, she had probably been saving for a long time.
Roy reluctantly pushed the space bracelet back.
“Sister Yuki, this is too expensive; I cannot accept it.”
Seeing that Roy wouldn’t accept it, Yuki feigned anger and said:
“Take it!
This is a gift from your sister.
You have helped me so much all this time; if it weren’t for you, I might not have even lasted the first year.
Take it!
If you don’t accept it, you don’t acknowledge me as your sister.”
Yuki forcefully put the space bracelet on Roy’s wrist.
Since she had already said so, it would seem too pretentious to decline further.
Yuki personally put the space bracelet on Roy’s wrist.
“The size is just right.
Don’t you think so, Litwick?”
The Will-O-Wisp on Litwick’s head flickered, forming the shape of a smiley face.
Now, Yuki was no longer surprised by the Will-O-Wisp appearing above Roy’s head.
From initial fear to now daring to touch Litwick, she had put in a lot of effort.
“Hurry and try it out to see if it works.”
Roy bound his identity and gently pressed the blue crystal in the center of the space bracelet with his finger.
The space bracelet had a total of 40 square meters of space, which was even larger than his rental apartment in his past life.
He could control the space bracelet with his thoughts to take out or put in corresponding items.
“Thanks, Sister Yuki!”
Roy and Yuki met in the latter part of the six months after Roy was rescued.
At that time, with the help of the two old people, Roy had already awakened his Ghost Power.
He often went down the mountain to run errands and buy daily necessities.
At that time, Mt.
Pyre also welcomed its first official building, the League Store.
Although the store existed, there was no staff.
The first clerk resigned immediately after being scared out of their wits by a Shuppet, leaving Mt.
Pyre without looking back.
At this moment, the second unlucky person arrived, which was Yuki.
Yuki had completely relied on her own efforts to pass the exam for the League clerk position.
That’s right, entry-level positions in the League also require passing an exam.
Since she had no connections behind her and her family was just an ordinary working-class family, she was assigned to the Pokémon store at the foot of Mt.
Pyre, where no one wanted to go.
As a famous burial ground and the birthplace of urban legends in Hoenn, Mt.
Pyre had all sorts of urban legends about Ghost-type Pokémon that she was aware of.
At first, she encouraged herself, thinking that since she had passed the exam, she couldn’t just not come!
For an ordinary person, this was already considered a decent job.
But it wasn’t until she found a Duskull in the drawer while tidying the counter, and it made faces at her.
Actually, the Duskull just wanted to scare Yuki at the time to consume the emotional energy generated by her fear; it had no intention of hurting her.
Who knew that this scare would directly knock Yuki unconscious.
Fortunately, Roy, who was coming down the mountain to buy supplies at that time, arrived in time after hearing the scream.
He used Litwick to defeat the Duskull, and after learning the reason for the incident, Roy used his Ghost Power to fill its stomach.
Since then, the Duskull had been following Roy.
Just like that, Roy obtained his second Pokémon.
The League Store was located not far from Mt.
Pyre, and usually, many Ghost-type Pokémon would come to the League Store to cause trouble.
Causing trouble was fine, but the fear was that they would absorb one’s life energy.
Plus, there were no League police stations or Trainers in the vicinity, so if she encountered danger, there was almost no other way to escape.
Fortunately, Roy was there, coming every time to help her drive away the Ghost-type Pokémon that were causing trouble.
Moreover, most Trainers of Ghost-type Pokémon looked half-dead.
Only Roy and Phoebe were different; the other one was like the winter sun, often revealing a heartwarming smile.
“By the way, there is also the thing you asked me to buy for you.”
Yuki pulled out a giant Gengar doll the size of a person from the cabinet at the front desk.
This was the limited-edition Gengar doll that Roy had previously asked her to buy, saying he wanted to give it to Phoebe as a gift.
Because Ghost-type Pokémon were almost unpopular, regular shopping malls didn’t sell such dolls.
She had to find someone to have it purchased from Ecruteak City in the Johto region.
After chatting for a while, Roy saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye to Yuki and the Cleffa that was making faces at him.
