With his graduation trip coming up, Lin Qing, who had only transmigrated recently, was short on cash. So he became a ring-toss stall vendor, with a side gig as a rookie Pokémon Trainer.
Lin Qing patted Pikachu's little head. This little fellow had been with him for over a month, and was a master of all sorts of tricks.
Heh, who could resist an adorable little rascal like Pikachu, sometimes cuddly, sometimes mischievous, and sometimes aloof?
"Pika, pika~"
"Little Pi, you want Squirtle-brand cola! We can't afford that, we've got to save up."
Lin Qing held the little cutie and rubbed its head.
"Pikachu!"
"You want to whisper something to me?"
Lin Qing slowly leaned his ear closer. A gentle breeze brushed past it, bringing a tingly sensation.
"Pika, pika pika..."
"What! A day of massage with a Conan suit? Approved!"
A Pikachu that had never used an Electric-type move, and a rookie Pokémon Trainer, set out on a joyful journey after graduation...
Very well written
