Xisi had thought about what his first Pokémon would be. A Growlithe? Or one of the starter Pokémon? These all seemed pretty good to Xisi, but a Farfetch'd had never been in his memory before.
Pushing his small cart, Xisi walked contentedly towards his home, humming a happy tune as he went. With his golden finger, the future looked promising.
"Hey~ Isn't this little Xisi? Are you done with your business for today?" Accompanied by a fragrant breeze, a soft touch embraced Xisi from behind, making him stiffen.
"Janna, are you not working today?" Xisi didn’t need to look to know who the woman behind him was.
"Hehe, of course not, I’m on my day off today~" With a teasing voice, a very beautiful woman walked around to stand in front of Xisi, pinching his cheek with a smile.
Xisi drew in a sharp breath. Every Officer Jenny had considerable strength, and Xisi felt as if he were facing an 85-kilogram boxing champion.
"Xisi is back? I want to eat!" Another Officer Jenny in casual clothes came out, looking at Xisi happily.
"I want fried rice!" More and more Officer Jennies appeared around Xisi.
Xisi scratched his head. After he came to this world, his greatest misfortune was becoming an orphan, and his parents had left a mountain of debt. His greatest luck was meeting this group of Officer Jennies.
"Alright, don’t tease our little Xisi anymore. Xisi, welcome back." A mature and steady voice followed, and all the Officer Jennies instantly stood straight, with very standard posture.
"Sis Feng!" Xisi looked at the woman walking from the middle, who was also an Officer Jenny but looked more mature.
In his previous life, Xisi couldn’t really tell the difference between Officer Jennies and Nurse Joys. To him, they all looked similar, but now Xisi could easily distinguish these Officer Jennies.
After all, Xisi had lived with these Officer Jennies for four whole years, growing from a 13-year-old kid to a 17-year-old teenager.
However, looking at the Officer Jennies around him, who were eagerly watching him with hopeful faces, Xisi couldn’t bear to let them go hungry. This was probably something a chef couldn’t refuse.
So Xisi quickly went to the kitchen where the Officer Jennies gathered and started busily preparing dinner for the night.
Viridian City was home to many residents, and due to the dense population, there were many Officer Jennies here. Xisi was the only boy among this group of girls, and if this were a harem anime, it would have been a wonderful setup.
Unfortunately, this was the Pokémon world, and these Officer Jennies, besides their fierce Growlithe and Arcanine, had very high combat skills. Xisi had seen them practice fighting more than once, making him swallow hard.
Fortunately, Xisi had won the hearts and minds of these tough women through other means.
"Xisi’s cooking is the best~" In the not-so-big dining room, the Officer Jennies, who all looked basically the same, ate the food Xisi made with happy faces, their expressions full of joy.
"So, have you paid off your parents' debts?" Jenny Feng, the Officer Jenny who adopted Xisi, smiled at him, asking with a serious face.
"Um, yes... and then I bought a Poké Ball." Xisi scratched his head, embarrassed. To him, Jenny Feng was like a sister, not a biological one, but better than one.
"Oh? Are you planning to become a Trainer? Or follow my advice and join our police force?" Jenny Feng’s eyes lit up, looking at Xisi with delight.
Xisi stuffed a mouthful of fried rice from the plate into his mouth, chewing. Today’s fried rice was pretty good, and the leek from Farfetch'd had clearly enhanced its aroma.
Xisi hesitated for a moment, then told her about capturing Farfetch'd. Jenny Feng looked surprised at Xisi, then very seriously explained the special nature of Farfetch'd to him.
Although Farfetch'd is a protected Pokémon, it has very good meat and carries its own seasoning, making it a target for many Pokémon hunters. If Xisi took Farfetch'd on a journey, he might encounter some people with ulterior motives.
Xisi nodded, he had naturally considered this. If he didn’t have his golden finger, he might have taken a different path, but with the golden finger, things were different.
However, Xisi was a bit confused. Why hadn’t the text box appeared? He had received something when he entertained Farfetch'd before.
After finishing the meal, Xisi followed Sis Feng back to the dormitory and enthusiastically cleaned the room, even cleaning the neighboring dormitory, but still didn’t get the text box.
Xisi felt a bit lost. Farfetch'd had indeed been changed, there was no doubt about that, but what were the conditions for the text box to appear? Xisi didn’t understand yet.
Following Sis Feng’s advice, Xisi released Farfetch'd in the evening, grooming its feathers to build a bond between the Pokémon and the Trainer. Farfetch'd seemed normal when it saw Jenny Feng, as if it knew that women in such attire wouldn’t do anything to it.
Jenny Feng watched Farfetch'd with amazement; a living protected animal was quite rare. She also reported this to the League, and League officials came late at night to register Xisi’s information.
Every captured Farfetch'd is registered, and the League keeps a close eye on its condition.
After a busy night, Xisi naturally opened his eyes at five in the morning.
Quietly getting dressed and taking his things, Xisi left the dormitory, pushing his small cart towards the city center.
The early morning stall life had made Xisi form the habit of getting up at five every day, as only by getting up so early could he buy cheap ingredients. Fortunately, Xisi still had enough ingredients left to last the day.
"Good morning, little Xisi, you’re still up so early today." A mature and steady male voice, Xisi knew exactly who it was.
"Director Sakaki, you’re up early too. Would you like something to eat?" Xisi turned to look at Sakaki, dressed in a black suit, and smiled.
Yes, Sakaki of Viridian City, the Gym Leader of the League, the leader of the dark organization Team Rocket, and one of Xisi’s customers.
