"Don't be too upset, Leafeon. To recover the money you lost, your trainer commanded Serperior to fight its way into the Pokémon Securities Center. Then I won everyone over with my irresistible charm and got your money back!"
The taxi driver: ?
Whimsicott: ?
Leafeon: ???
"Don't all stare at me in silence... Fine, I admit I exaggerated a tiny bit. But the result's the same, right? Just think of it as a risk-free lesson, Leafeon. I'm sure you'll invest more sensibly next time."
"Leafeon!"
When another transfer notification popped up on the phone, Leafeon was so excited it nearly spoke in human language. But that would probably scare the taxi driver, so for everyone's safety, it held back.
It was starting to believe its trainer. Going bankrupt and then getting everything back felt incredible—almost like being saved!
"Now that you've learned your lesson, I'll leave your investments to you. I'm sure you'll make sensible choices and earn a fortune. Oh, right, you should stop using that app on your phone. I'm guessing there's something wrong with that stock-trading app..."
"Whim!"
Just then, Whimsicott, perched on Ye Lan's head, noticed his phone screen light up again. It hurriedly reminded him to reply to Champion Steven. Steven was a busy man; if Ye Lan missed the chance, he might be gone in a flash.
Ye Lan also thought the message was from Steven, but when he looked down, he saw an avatar and username he never expected in the notification.
The message was only a few words long, yet it said enough to make the smile slowly fade from his face.
