Acquiring a Major Client

Chapter 21 Acquiring a Major Client

"No way, no... Eh!!!"

Watching Magikarp successfully evolve into Gyarados, Misty sat on the ground, trying to comfort herself by constantly denying the fact that it was an illusion.

No matter how she tried to comfort her, the reality remained unchanged...

It wasn't until Gyarados let out a roar that she finally snapped out of her daze and remembered that there was something very important that she had to do right away!

Because Gyarados is generally very ferocious, according to scholars, when Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, the structure of its brain cells is reorganized, which is why its personality becomes violent.

Xiaoxia had experienced the same thing when her own Magikarp evolved, so she had to soothe Gyarados's emotions as soon as possible, calm it down, and let it slowly become familiar with the powerful strength it gained after evolving.

But just as she stood up and was about to go forward, the Gyarados in the pool suddenly calmed down on its own, looking around in surprise and curiosity, showing no signs of violence whatsoever.

"this……"

Xiaoxia stood there, stunned. Everything that had happened today was beyond her comprehension.

Seeing that Gyarados finally reacted and began to smile happily, she quickly asked, "How are you feeling now? Are there any adverse reactions?"

"Hooray~"

Gyarados is in excellent condition right now, feeling like it's ten times... or even nine times stronger than when it was Magikarp!

"His personality hasn't changed at all..."

Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief, her frustration completely dissipating, and she also felt a sense of disbelief.

After all these days it couldn't evolve, but eating a piece of fruit had an immediate effect. Could it really be the effect of this tangerine?

Just as she was thinking, the commotion at the swimming pool made Xiao Xin, who had just come from the hospital, quicken her pace and run over.

"Sister Xia, what happened... ah?"

She was about to ask a question when she saw the Gyarados in the pool. She instinctively stopped, her expression momentarily stunned, but it quickly turned into a smile.

Even if her demeanor completely changes, she can instantly recognize that this is her Magikarp!

"Hooray~"

Upon seeing Xiaoxin approaching, the Gyarados immediately let out a joyful cry, then swam over and lowered its head so she could touch it.

"It really is a Gyarados, so cool!"

Xiao Xin reached out her little hand to stroke the Gyarados. She couldn't suppress her excitement, and at the same time, she felt the hurt she had been trying so hard to hide. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, wetting her lovely smiling face.

"That's great... thank you!"

She turned around and looked at Xiaoxia who was walking towards her.

But Xiaoxia waved her hand, struck her usual pose, put one hand on her hip, and said with a smile, "No need for thanks. This is a piece of cake for the world's most beautiful girl like me. Go and fulfill your promise to your father!"

"Um!"

Xiaoxin wiped away her tears, her eyes instantly hardening. But when she turned to look at Gyarados, she froze. Gyarados was too big; it wasn't like Magikarp, which she could easily carry around in her backpack...

"How could you be so careless? Hmm... after all, you're just a kid. But you remind me of a travel companion I once traveled with."

Xiaoxia smiled slightly, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes. She then took out a Poké Ball and handed it to him, saying, "This Poké Ball is for you, but be careful not to bring your Gyarados to school and attack your classmates. I know you're a naughty person."

"...Okay! Thank you~"

Xiaoxin took the Poké Ball. Although it was her first time using it, she had been taught about it by her teacher at the Pokémon School in Cerulean City.

Gyarados had been looking forward to this for a long time, and the moment the Poké Ball touched its head, its body turned red and was absorbed into it.

Xiaoxin looked at the Poké Ball in her hand, buried it in her chest, and caught... her first Pokémon!

Xiaoxia watched with a smile, nodded with great satisfaction, and then said, "After learning more about trainers and Pokémon at school, let's take it on a trip!"

"I will!"

After saying hello, Xiaoxin couldn't wait to leave with her Gyarados, as time was of the essence.

After seeing her off at the dojo, Xiaoxia waved goodbye as she watched her disappear into the distance, saying, "Good luck!"

A moment later, after Xiaoxin boarded the bus and left, Xiaoxia smiled calmly, feeling a sense of anticipation for Xiaoxin's future growth. However, she knew she had to study those tangerines carefully!

She returned to the poolside, only to suddenly discover that her Psyduck was rummaging through the delivery box, which startled her so much that her braids stood on end.

"Save one for me!"

Xiaoxia rushed forward, but Psyduck had already found a tangerine and ate it without peeling it. The next second, Psyduck suddenly widened its eyes, covered its face with its little hands, and showed an expression of extreme happiness.

"Giggle~"

"Huh? Is it really that delicious?"

After spending so much time together, she instantly understood what Psyduck meant. In other words, the tangerine not only had special effects, but it was also delicious.

Seeing Psyduck suddenly reach out and grab the last tangerine, Misty snapped back to reality, gritted her teeth, and used "Pounce" to snatch the tangerine away.

"No! This is mine!"

Xiaoxia held the tangerine, curious, and prepared to try it. She peeled off the skin, and even just peeling a little bit, the aroma of citrus wafting out made her mouth water uncontrollably...

The peel is very thin; if you don't peel it slowly, it can easily break in the middle. But the plump, blue flesh inside is mouthwatering.

There's a certain kind of feeling that just by gently poking it open, the juice gushing out inside will give them the illusion that Hua Lan Dojo will have to fight floods for the next six months.

She set the peeled fruit aside, but Psyduck quietly took it and ate it. However, she didn't notice and couldn't resist breaking off a piece of blue fruit and putting it in her mouth.

The moment she bit into the fruit, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she began to savor the taste.

"Delicious..."

What's with this smell?

She didn't know, it just tasted good.

By the time she came to her senses, she had already finished the last tangerine. She immediately felt a pang of regret; she had never eaten such a fruit before, and simply tasting it like this was far from satisfying…

So what should we do next?

Buy! Buy some more!

She remembered that the seller also had other colors of tangerines on display, so she could buy them all to try, and ask if there were any tangerines left!

"That 648 yuan was totally worth it!"

……

At the manor, Mingyou was recording the condition of the apple trees in the orchard. After finishing that, she would prepare dinner, not knowing whether Ponpo would come today.

At that moment, a message came from Rotom on his phone.

After clicking in and taking a look, Mingyou saw that it was Xiaoxia contacting her through the platform. A smile appeared on her face, knowing that the tangerine must have received a good review.

He actually received a few inquiries today, since the page had been up for a while, but he didn't sell anything and instead got scolded...

Seeing Xiaoxia's message that she wanted to buy all the remaining three types of tangerines, Mingyou was secretly delighted and replied, "Do you still want to buy more?"

"Yes, by the way, do you still have those blue tangerines?"

"There are a few."

"Then I'll take them all!"

"no problem!"

Seeing that the other party was so easy to talk to, Mingyou naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity. Because of the fact that Simocha had stolen some of her tangerines today, she now only had 4 gray and 4 green tangerines left, and 5 red and 5 blue tangerines left.

However, he couldn't sell them all; he would only pack three of each item together, leaving some for Ponpo.

After quickly discussing it with Xiaoxia, we agreed to ship the goods tomorrow morning; it's already evening today...

"Open for business! Haha~"

Mingyou was in a good mood. Wasn't this a win? It's great to have met such a big client.

After a short while, he strolled around the orchard and had just returned to the villa entrance when he was about to go to the kitchen when a familiar voice suddenly came from afar.

"Mmm~"

Ponpo took small steps through the orchard. Today, it brought some fruit with it. Actually, it hadn't been here for two days because of some things, so it was really looking forward to seeing Mingyou.

"Are you here?"

"Mmm~"

Ponpo braked suddenly and stopped in front of Mingyou, but it was running too fast and its body leaned forward due to inertia, almost falling off. Fortunately, Mingyou bent down and caught it, but was still knocked to the ground.

"Why are you running so fast? Slow down!"

"Mmm~"

Because I want to see you~

"Ha ha."

Mingyou smiled and reached out to rub its head, then took its paw, stood up, and said, "You've come at the perfect time. The mandarin oranges are ripe today, and there are four different flavors to choose from."

"Hmm?"

Filled with curiosity, Ponpo looked at the strange Ponpo mandarin tree bearing fruit not far away. Its expression slowly froze, and a flicker of emotion suddenly flashed in its star-like pupils. It felt... something was strange.
