RNP Chapter 24 Ice and Snow Combination
Chapter 24 Ice and Snow Combination
Because of the commotion the night before, Lin Ye and Qiao Yijing didn't get up until after nine o'clock the next day. By the time they finished getting ready and went out to Shuijing Department Store, it was already noon.
After discussing it, the two decided to first eat some pan-fried Slowpoke tails before heading to the home area to choose furniture.
Given the prestigious reputation of the Joey family, Joey Jing would certainly not wear a uniform; in fact, she deliberately dressed up as a mature and sophisticated woman.
However, while the sun hat and large sunglasses could slightly conceal her appearance, they could not hide her stunning figure and charisma.
They continued to attract a lot of attention along the way, but no one associated them with Joey's identity.
In addition, Lin Ye's appearance and temperament are also outstanding, and the two of them really look very well-matched when they go shopping together, giving off a celebrity couple vibe.
The sword sheath damaged quite a few things; tables, carpets, stools, and many teacups and dishes all need to be replaced.
Lin Ye observed that Qiao Yijing liked to buy pink items, and the patterns were all fairy-type Pokémon.
There were cups with Pippi patterns, plates with Jigglypuff patterns, and a large round table with a group photo of about a dozen Fairy-type Pokémon, including Marilyn, Ralts, and Mawile.
As Lin Ye paid, he cursed Du Jiancha inwardly, thinking that he should lock up more geniuses like he did with the eagle trainer.
But then I thought about how it brought me closer to the richest woman, and even helped me move from a studio apartment to a large villa, so I realized that being a ghost wasn't so bad after all.
Finally, the two bought most of the furniture that needed to be replaced, except for a rug.
In fact, the Water Shizuo Department Store has the largest and most diverse carpet sales area in the Hoenn region.
However, since Qiao Yijing had already bought almost all the common fairy Pokémon designs, she found it difficult to choose a blanket with a similar pattern.
Lin Ye felt that if Qiao Yijing insisted on clinging to her "fairy-like" persona today, they would probably have a hard time completing their purchasing plan.
"Miss Joy, there's no need to fixate on the fairy attribute. Teddy bears or turkeys are cute too."
"You don't understand. My secondary profession is Fairy-type breeder. How can I use a Pokémon of another type on such an important decoration as a carpet? This is simply... "
Wait, isn't that Pikachu?! Yes, that's Pikachu! Lilycove City actually has an official Pikachu license!
Qiao Yijing saw something and quickly ran to a booth with a Pikachu pattern hanging on it.
Unlike ordinary Pikachu, this Pikachu has distinct features, wearing specially made clothes, and is probably an image from a movie.
"That's right, this Pikachu is from Unova City, the current Pokémon Hollywood star."
"Pokémon Hollywood!"
"Hmm~, that's the film center of the Unova region, and also the film center of the world. The Pikachu in the picture is called Redbiao, and he is the most popular Pokémon superstar right now."
Moreover, this blanket is officially licensed, so I've decided to buy it.
"Okay, okay~, women's hearts are truly unfathomable. Just now she said she didn't want any patterns that weren't fairy-like, but now she insists on buying this Pikachu one."
Moreover, what kind of name is Lei Debiao? It sounds like a rural, yellow-skinned rat! Doesn't it have a partner named Miao Dashuai?
Lin Ye mentally grumbled a lot, but his actions were decisive. He stepped forward and asked the saleswoman:
"Hello, how much does this Ledebiao Lougou carpet cost?"
"You mean this one? I'm sorry, this rug is an officially authorized limited edition, and our Shuijing Department Store has already sold out of all its stock."
We don't plan to sell this last one; we intend to use it as a reward for company events.
"award?"
"Yes, as Valentine's Day is approaching, our department store is planning to hold a competition that is open only to young couples who purchase our home goods on that day."
The competition involves Pokémon doubles battles, but these two seem like a perfect match. If they were both trainers, it would be worth a try. And the competition happens to be held today.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yijing's pretty face flushed slightly, then she glanced at Lin Ye and said:
"I really like this blanket, could you help me with it?"
"Of course, no problem. We agreed beforehand that we would be responsible for replacing the damaged furniture."
And so, Lin Ye and Qiao Yijing registered to participate under the titles of Mr. Lin and Ms. Qiao.
Since Lin Ye didn't want Soroya to expose his special abilities too early and it was inconvenient for him to participate in such a public battle, the only option he could choose was Snow Fairy.
Coincidentally, he also planned to take advantage of this amateur competition to get to know the Snow Fairy better.
Speaking of which, Snow Fairy only officially joined the team last night, and then she got into that mess with the feudal remnant, the one with the single sword sheath. He hasn't had time to check on the moves she has mastered yet.
So, he immediately used a contract to connect with the Snow Fairy and inquired about her characteristics and the moves she knew.
Soon, the Snow Fairy informed her telepathically that its special ability was "Snow Cloak," and that it possessed the following moves:
Bite, Stare, Fine Snow, Ice Sparks, Sucking Kiss, Startle, Frozen Teeth, Frozen Wind, Ice Breath, Water Ripple, Shadow Ball, Shared Fate, Misfortunes Never Come Alone, Round, Frozen Ray
"Not bad, not bad~, peak 'Excellent' level strength, and there is always the possibility of breaking through to 'Professional' level, and the skill pool is also good."
Unfortunately, it hasn't mastered the "Snow Scene" skill yet, so it can't take advantage of its unique characteristics.
However, this competition is limited to young couples only, and participants must purchase items from the home goods section of the WaterJing Department Store on the same day.
Therefore, the opponents we've been matched with shouldn't be too strong, so winning the championship shouldn't be too difficult, right?
But since it's a doubles match, we'll have to see what Joyce's Pokémon are like. As long as her skills aren't too weak, I should be able to carry her... Wow, you're going to carry me?
When Lin Ye saw the Pokémon that Qiao Yijing took out, his eyes twitched. It was a nine-tailed fox that was pure white and exuded a cold light!
"Nine-Tails! The Alola Nine-Tails!"
That's right! The Pokémon that Qiao Yijing took out was Ninetales, unique to the Alola region. It's a Fairy/Ice type, which is much rarer than Froslass.
Moreover, this Nine-Tails' strength has already reached the "professional level," making it a true powerhouse.
"Okay, I thought I'd be a key player, but whether it was with Xiaoyao at Mount Songshen or with Qiao Yijing in the competition, I ended up relying on others. Could it be that I'm really a rare, naturally gifted gigolo?"
"Don't just stand there, your Snow Fairy's trait should be 'Snow Concealment,' right?"
Perfect timing! My Ninetales' ability is "Snowfall," so it's a pretty good match. Redbiao's blanket won't escape now.
