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

Soon Xiaoshui's physical condition recovered completely.

"What, she's going to be a trainer?"

After Li Ran came out, she was shocked to hear Hong Pang's words. Uncle Li couldn't persuade the little girl, so he took her to buy ice cream.

"What's the big deal? You were so enthusiastic today that even I was excited."

Hong Pang shrugged and thought that this was the atmosphere a trainer should have.

"But I don't plan to become a trainer..."

"I was talking about trainers... What! You don't want to be a trainer? Are you crazy?"

Hong Pang now became weird. He touched his forehead with the back of his hand. It wasn't hot, so why was he talking nonsense?

"I'm serious. Being a trainer is a high-risk job. I just want to live a leisurely life. I'm too lazy to fight in a gym. It's troublesome."

Li Ran's serious tone convinced Hong Pang somewhat, but he still wanted to persuade his friend. This was the ideal of most people nowadays, including him as a rich second generation.

"But you're such a good fighter."

"I'm short of money!"

Hong Pang was stunned by his words, but it seemed like there was nothing wrong with him?

Looking back now, it seems that Li Ran decided to participate in this competition after hearing me say there was a prize.

"And after becoming a lord-level trainer, you will be sent to do various dangerous tasks. This is not a purely high-risk job."

Hong Pang was silent for a moment and did not refute. Li Ran was telling the truth. In fact, the casualty rate of trainers was very high. His parents often said that he did not need to be a trainer himself, as long as he had the ability to protect himself.

So it seems that Xiaoran is the normal person?

On the way home, Hong Pang fell into silence. Li Ran smiled. It seemed that Hong Pang had come to his senses. It was true that this boy was teachable.

"We're home~"

Several sleeping elves all woke up and surrounded their two masters. Li Ran slumped down on the sofa. It was Xiao Shui who was fighting, but why was he as tired as a dog? The most important thing was that Xiao Shui was jumping around like an elf.

"One, two, three, four... Why is there one missing?"

Li Ran was stunned for a moment and jumped up from the sofa. Could it be that a thief had come in while he was competing? This villa area was clearly guarded.

"Xiaobu, where is the stingtail?"

He asked as he picked up Ibrahimovic from Yanyan's arms.

"Ibrahimovic!"

Xiaobu's little hands were scratching in the air, as if saying something, and finally he looked at the tree that Ibrahimovic's little finger was pointing at.

"It says the spinytail is in that tree!"

Yanyan seemed to understand and started to translate.

When Li Ran came under the tree, the corners of his mouth twitched noticeably. The side of the tree close to the wall had become bare and had been eaten completely. This guy had learned to be smart and knew that he would be scolded if he was seen eating that side, so he ate the blind spot on the other side.

After searching for a few minutes, Li Ran discovered that his stingray had evolved.

Its whole body is wrapped in white silk thread, and small holes on both sides reveal a pair of red eyes observing the surroundings. The silk threads on the eyes hang lightly like eyebrows, and at this time its silk threads are entangled on the branches in all directions.

"It's a carapace cocoon."

Li Ran recognized it from its color. He didn't expect that he had good luck. The stingtail insect he caught was actually evolving towards hunting swallowtail butterflies. The evolution cycle of insect-type Pokémon is short, and the energy required is not much.

Yanyan seemed to be attracted by the beauty of the shell cocoon and looked very happy holding the cocoon.

"Yan Yan, how about Carapace Cocoon be your second spirit?"

Li Ran made a decision. Girls all like beautiful things. It would be great if she could develop in the direction of a gorgeous competition in the future. It would also help her dispel the idea of ​​becoming a trainer. It would be killing two birds with one stone!

"No! This is your spirit, brother."

Yanyan shook her head and felt unwell.

"It's okay. Brother Hong said that if you want to be a trainer, you'll need a second Pokémon partner sooner or later. It just so happens that I usually take good care of it, but I haven't taken care of it as long as you do. Just consider it as a favor for me, okay?"

Li Ran coaxed and lied, saying, "When you see the hunting swallowtail butterfly, how can you bear to let it go to fight?" And Li Ran did not lie, he did not take good care of the stingtail insects.

"Oh well?"

"Then it's settled!"

Li Ran put the Shell Cocoon back into the Poké Ball, and first took Yanyan to buy a Poké Ball using his ID card. Directly giving the Poké Ball would cause the Pokémon to be disobedient, because it was Li Ran himself who concluded the contract, so at this time he had to rely on the switch.

There is a switch at the Pokémon Center and the Research Institute, so Li Ran chose the one that was closer since he had never been to the Pokémon Center.

The red medical graphic building is very eye-catching and can be found at a glance. After entering, Li Ran was a little surprised. Except for Miss Joy at the front desk, all the people working here are Jigglypuffs. But Miss Joy is really good-looking.

Delicate facial features and an oval face, her signature pink twin ponytails, a pink nurse uniform with a white apron on top, deep blue eyes that sparkled like gems, and her voice was just like hers, soft and gentle.

"No wonder Xiaogang is so obsessed with it."

Li Ran secretly complained.

"Hello, welcome to the Pokémon Center, how may I help you?"

"I want to exchange elves with my sister."

Li Ran quickly calmed down. In his previous life, he had watched so many videos on Douyin and seen countless internet celebrities, so this little scene could not affect his mood.

"Okay, please follow me."

After following Joey for less than three minutes, they arrived in front of a machine. Li Ran couldn't see the structure, but he knew that the grooves on the left and right were where the Poké Balls were placed.

According to the instruction manual, Li Ran placed Carapace Cocoon's Poké Ball on the left and Yanyan's on the right. After Miss Joy pressed the green button in the middle, two long and thin electric waves were emitted from the machine to the surface of the Poké Ball.

Then a virtual image of the Shell Cocoon appeared on the screen and moved towards Yanyan's empty Poké Ball. When an OK gesture appeared on the screen, it meant that the exchange was successful.

"Come out, Carapace Cocoon."

Yanyan pressed the button on the Poké Ball, then held the Poké Ball with both hands, and the figure of the Shell Cocoon appeared in the light.

The carapace cocoon moved over with difficulty and rubbed Yanyan's palm affectionately. Yanyan said with a smile.

"Fluttershy, we're partners from now on! We're going to work together towards becoming trainers!"

Elf name: Shell Cocoon (female)

Strength level: Rookie 3rd stage

Attribute: Insect

Skills: Impact (Intermediate), Harden (max)

Features: Shedding (cures abnormal conditions by shedding one's own skin.)

Just as Li Ran expected, the Carapace Cocoon had no ability to attack before it evolved, and when combined with the Magikarp it was simply a mascot combination!
