Douluo: Opening a Pokémon Store in Spirit City

After transmigrating to the Douluo Continent, the first thing Xia Che did was set up a lounge chair in Spirit Hall and hang the Pokémon Store sign. Bibi Dong wanted to see the mysterious new power; Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan became regulars at the store; Yue Guan and Gui Mei bickered every few days over who would pay for meals. As one Pokémon after another walked out of the store, Spirit City gradually gained Poké Balls, Berries, care classes, and new troubles that made people laugh every day. Xia Che looked lazy—if he could sit, he would never stand; if he could let Indeedee handle something, he would never do it himself. Yet any one of the Dragonite, Metagross, Slaking, and Lucario around him, casually stepping out, was enough to make even Titled Douluos take him seriously. Only Tang San rubbed him the wrong way no matter how he looked at him. This person was smart, calm, and quick to learn anything, but every time he saw a Pokémon he always first calculated combat power, type matchups, and uses, as if even partners could be stuffed into a hidden-weapon case. Xia Che closed his Pokédex and replied with just one line: "They are partners. That hidden-weapon ledger of yours—don't bring it here." This is a leisurely daily life that begins from Spirit Hall. Running the store, eating, bickering, training, and occasionally letting the entire Douluo Continent see just how strong Pokémon truly are when they get serious.
