Douluo: Opening a Pokémon Store in Spirit City

After transmigrating to the Douluo Continent, the first thing Xia Che does is set up a lounge chair inside Spirit Hall and hang up a sign that reads "Pokémon Shop."

Bibi Dong wants to see this wondrous new power for herself. Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan become regular customers, while Yue Guan and Gui Mei bicker every other day over who has to pay for their meals. As Pokémon leave the shop one after another, Spirit City gradually fills with Poké Balls, Berries, care classes-and fresh trouble that gives everyone something to laugh about each day.

Xia Che seems hopelessly laid-back. If he can sit, he won't stand; if Indeedee can handle something, he won't lift a finger. Yet any one of the Pokémon at his side-Dragonite, Metagross, Slaking, or Lucario-is enough to make even a Titled Douluo take things seriously.

There is just one person he cannot stand: Tang San.

The man is clever, calm, and quick to learn anything. But whenever he sees a Pokémon, his first instinct is to calculate its combat power, type matchups, and practical uses-as though even a partner could be stuffed into his hidden-weapon case.

Xia Che closes his Pokédex and gives him just one answer: "They're partners. Keep your hidden-weapon calculations out of this."

This is a story of easygoing everyday life that begins at Spirit Hall: running a shop, sharing meals, trading barbs, and training-with the occasional chance to show the entire Douluo Continent just how powerful Pokémon can be when they truly get serious.
