I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"You guys shouldn't be working eight jobs anymore, right?"

Seeing Suo Cailing's mental state after waking up, Hong Pang was no longer worried at all. He turned to Li Ran with concern in his eyes. He knew that Li Ran was working, and when he offered to lend him the funds for the opportunity of the Three Royal Families, he was rejected. Later, because of what the housekeeper said to him, Hong Pang gave up the idea of ​​borrowing money.

"No, I made some money from my last Geodude post, so raising them isn't a problem."

Li Ran showed a few white teeth and patted his chest to indicate that you can rest assured. At the same time, Li Ran also sighed at the depth of Hong Pang's friendship with the original owner.

The butler stood by the side the whole time, his eyes slightly narrowed under his gold-rimmed glasses. He knew very well that Li Ran was a man with his own dignity, so when the young master wanted to lend it to Li Ran by force, he was stopped by him. At the same time, he was also very glad that the young master had made friends with Li Ran. The latest announced evolution of Geodude has caused a Geodude storm, and many trainers who like rock-type Pokémon are trying their best to get a Geodude.

Although the final evolution of Rhydon has not yet been confirmed, from Li Ran's confident look, the butler firmly believes that Li Ran would not lie.

"That's fine! If you need money, just tell me!"

Hong Pang's money-mindedness did not make Li Ran feel that he was showing off. On the contrary, he felt the other party's genuine concern, Li Ran replied.

"Okay! I'll kill you today."

"Butler, go prepare dinner! Xiaoran will eat with us today!"

Hong Pang said it was no problem and he would arrange it in minutes.

"By the way, Uncle Li, I remember you have a snorkeling weasel, right?"

Li Ran looked at Xiaoshui who was playing in the swimming pool, and suddenly remembered something and asked the housekeeper standing next to Hong Pang. Li Ran only knew that the housekeeper's surname was Li.

"Yes, Master Li Ran, you want your water-leaping fish to become proficient in using water cannons, right?"

Uncle Li kept smiling. He had long seen that Li Ran's Xiao Shui was quite strong, so he guessed Li Ran's intention at once.

"Yes, Uncle Li, can you let the snorkeling weasel teach it?"

"Of course, come out Snorkeling Itachi!"

"Shuo!"

Uncle Li smiled and nodded, throwing out a red and white Poké Ball, and a creature that appeared looked very similar to a Weasel, with an orange and beige body, a yellow float on its neck connected to the back of its body, blue fins on the back of its hands, two black lines next to its mouth, and an orange water drop pattern on its belly.

Li Ran silently read the system in his mind, and the information of Snorkeling Weasel appeared.

Elf name: Snorkeling Weasel (male)

Strength level: Elite level 3

Attribute: Water

Skills: Lightning Flash (Advanced), Crushing (Intermediate), Frozen Teeth (Intermediate), Soaking (Intermediate), Water Stream Breaking (Advanced), Water Gun (max), Water Cannon (Intermediate), Wave Rush (Elementary)

Inherited Skill: Water Flow Ring (Intermediate)

Features: Free and easy (in rainy weather, it will increase its speed.)

"Uncle Li's snorkeling weasel is very strong!"

Li Ran felt more respect for Uncle Li. His Snorkeling Weasel had already stepped half a step into the lord level, and the faint aura it exuded could make elves below its level submit.

"Come over here, Shuichi, and say hello to your uncle Itachi."

Hearing Li Ran's call, Xiao Shui jumped out of the swimming pool and ran quickly to Li Ran's side. Uncle Li was slightly surprised by the speed of this jumping fish, but did not show anything.

"Click~"

Xiaoshui's cute cry and adorable expression made the originally serious snorkeling weasel couldn't help but squat down and pat its round little head.

"Yes."

"Master Li Ran, please follow me."

After getting consent, Uncle Li brought Li Ran to a detached house about 50 meters away from the villa. On the way, Li Ran was also surprised by the exaggerated circular building.

"Fatty Hong...your house is really big!"

Li Ran originally thought that this building should belong to Hong Pang's neighbor, but when he arrived he found that this was still his home.

"It's okay. I want to build a dog house for my catties in a few days."

Hong Pang’s words reminded Li Ran of a rich second-generation like him. Kojiro, who joined Team Rocket, seemed to have also built a doghouse for Growlithe, right?

"This is the training hall that our Hong Group built specifically for you. This will help Xiaoshui grow faster."

Uncle Li smiled and opened the door of the practice hall. The size of the space inside was beyond Li Ran's imagination. Uncle Li pressed the switch covered with blue paper among the five switches on the wall, and the whole hall made a loud noise.

The originally dry soil suddenly gushed out blue water from underground, and finally turned into a giant swimming pool. A lot of training equipment also fell from the sky, including wooden stakes, swinging hammers, etc.

"Does your family still need a dog? Hiss."

Li Ran wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said something that made Hong Pang look at him strangely.

"Are you sure you want to be my dog?"

"Fuck off!"

Li Ran cursed and laughed as he punched him, then Uncle Li spoke.

"Okay, let Snorkel Itachi take Xiao Shui for special training here. It's much easier for Pokémon to communicate with each other than it is for us."

Uncle Li let the snorkeling weasel enter the venue first. It jumped into the water very flexibly and swam quickly. From time to time, it shot out several jets of water from the bottom of the water, hitting the wooden stakes suspended above.

"Well, then I'll trouble Snorkel Itachi. Xiao Shui, go in and practice with your uncle Itachi for a while."

Xiaoshui nodded her little head and was brought back in by the snorkeling weasel, unaware of the hardships that would follow.

"Don't worry, there is a professional medical team outside, as well as a team responsible for their food."

Seeing that Li Ran looked a little worried, Uncle Li still gave him a thoughtful reminder. Li Ran could only nod and follow them away.

"Xiao Ran, which elf do you think I should choose as my second one?"

After returning to the villa, Hong Pang became active again. Somehow, he had a feeling that his good friend could give him some good advice.

"Tell me, which ones did your family prepare for you to choose?"

Li Ran spread his hands helplessly. It was great to have money so he didn't have to go out into the wild to catch Pokémon like he did.

"There are the Swimming Ring Weasel, Mushroom, Coal Turtle, Little Elephant, and a newly introduced ornamental Pokémon, Eevee!"

Li Ran listened to the names he called out, and each elf floated through his mind. He would not get all of these elves, and he also understood that Hong Pang could only choose one as his next elf.

Among the several names reported by Hong Pang, Li Ran, as a gamer, prefers Mushroom, which is the most powerful tool pet in history. Not only can it learn the magical skill of "Point and Stop", but it also has the skill of "Mushroom Spore", which is a must-sleep skill. But Li Ran was a little stunned when he heard it.

"What did you say? Ibrahimovic? Spectacular?"

Li Ran scratched his ear and almost suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, this Pokémon is a little cute, but it can't evolve and doesn't have much combat power."
