The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 6 Lin Ye's Beautiful Landlady

Lin Ye immediately had two options in mind. The first was to follow his original idea and try to cultivate Zoroah using necromancy.

If successful, the little fox's strength will increase rapidly, and it won't be long before she can personally take revenge on Rhodes.

If his idea doesn't work, then he'll find a way to expose the Poison Blade Society's plan.

At that time, Rhodes will definitely be in deep trouble, which can be considered revenge for Zoroya.

Of course, there's still some time before these people take action, so Lin Ye will definitely prefer to nurture Zoroya first.

If his previous assumptions are correct, and necromancy can indeed help Zoroya become stronger quickly, then it would definitely be better to let the little fox take revenge himself.

Although the plan was set, Lin Ye, who had just arrived, hadn't even had time to learn about the Pokémon level classifications. He urgently needed to find a professional place to get his Pokémon tested, and more importantly, he needed to find a place to stay.

"Ghostly, Spectrum, and Nightwatch, are you really not coming with me? The Energy Cube we just had must have tasted much better than the resentment you usually absorb, right?"

Gastly nodded: "Food is precious, but a female ghost is even more valuable. However, for the sake of freedom, I can give up both!"

We three brothers are used to being free-spirited and easygoing, so let's just be ordinary friends.

"Alright~, since we're all friends now, why don't you guys help me sabotage their plans next time~"

"Oh dear, I just remembered, today is the due date of the Snow Fairy on the next grave. I really have to go now."

The three ghosts, the "old, weak, sick, and disabled," vanished in a flash, turning into shadows. Lin Ye and Zoroya exchanged a light smile and left as well.

It was already evening, and the neon lights of Water Town lit up one after another, making this seaside metropolis dazzling with color.

Lin Ye, carrying a little fox disguised as an ordinary Zorua using the "illusion" ability, walks through bustling streets, feeling the long-lost hustle and bustle and vitality of the modern city.

As a native of a city on Earth, I naturally feel a deep connection to this kind of urban prosperity.

Not to mention that Lin Ye had endured two and a half years of trepidation in that medieval-style magical world, and now, as the sea breeze blew, he felt an indescribable sense of relief and ease.

However, his Zoroa is an extinct species after all. Unless he hides in the shadows, he must disguise himself as something else whenever he appears in public, just like his current ordinary Dark-attribute form.

Unless Lin Ye's strength reaches the high level of this world, it's best to keep it hidden.

He ruffled Zoroya's fluffy head and said, "Let's find you a place to stay first, and then I'll give you a proper makeover."

Today you bought hundreds of thousands of resources in one go. Once you've processed all of that, you'll definitely make significant progress.

After saying that, Lin Ye took out his newly bought smartphone and started browsing local rental websites.

He soon discovered that the housing prices in Water Town were incredibly high, with monthly rents in the central area often reaching tens of thousands, making it unaffordable for him as an unregistered resident.

Even if he still has some money left from selling gems, these are all resources that will help him become stronger in the future, so he can't afford to waste them easily.

After filtering by factors such as price, location, and whether Pokémon are allowed, his gaze fell on a rather inconspicuous rental listing:

"New Moon Bay Cozy Single Apartment, one bedroom and one living room, separate kitchen and bathroom, good lighting, quiet and comfortable living."

Small Pokémon are allowed (must be kept clean and not disturb the neighbors), monthly rent is 3,000, one month's rent as deposit and one month's rent in advance.

Contact person: Ms. Qiao, phone number 139…”

A monthly rent of three thousand is an incredibly cheap price in this expensive coastal metropolis.

"This is fine."

Lin Ye immediately made a decision and dialed the number.

The call was quickly answered, and a slightly tired but still clear and capable female voice came through:

"Hello, who is this?"

The voice sounded somewhat familiar, but Lin Ye couldn't be sure even over the phone.

"Hello, I saw your rental listing, the studio apartment in Crescent Bay. I need a place to stay right now, so would it be convenient for you to come over immediately?"

"immediately?"

The person on the other end seemed a little surprised, but thinking that they might be a visitor from out of town in a hurry, they quickly agreed.

"Sure, just come to the address I provided, I'll be right here."

"Okay, thank you, Ms. Qiao."

Lin Ye hung up the phone and took a taxi to the second floor, where he found a graceful figure waiting outside the door.

"Miss Joey! You're the landlady of this house!"

At this moment, Qiao Yijing was not wearing the uniform skirt she wore at the Pokémon Center during the day, nor did she have her signature updo.

She wore only a light blue dress, with a silk belt that accentuated her perfect waistline, and her pink hair cascaded down, making her delicate face even more beautiful and charming.

It turned out that the so-called Miss Qiao was actually Miss Joey, which greatly surprised Lin Ye.

The air was silent for two seconds.

"Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin Ye? I never expected that the person inquiring about renting a room would be you!"

"I never expected you to be 'Miss Qiao'!" Lin Ye pointed to the door.

At this moment, Qiao Yijing noticed Soroya in Lin Ye's arms. Her pretty face suddenly turned to surprise and delight. She ran over in a few steps, bent down, and started teasing the little fox.

"Huh? Didn't you not have any Pokémon? How come you suddenly caught Zoroar? That's not a common Pokémon!"

From Lin Ye's angle at that moment, looking down, he could just see two milky-white peaks rising and falling within the loose collar. The scene was so beautiful that he forgot to reply for a moment.

After all, he had spent two and a half years in the magical world, during which time he was extremely cautious and dared not have any intimate contact with any women, which must have been somewhat repressive for him.

The Nurse Joy family truly lives up to their reputation as the world's undisputed number one healers. Upon closer inspection, their strength is indeed formidable and unfathomable.

Qiao Yijing suddenly realized something, stood up straight instantly, and shyly straightened her clothes.

Because he had excitedly taken the initiative to approach her, he didn't say anything to Lin Ye, but the atmosphere between the two of them became a little ambiguous.

"Hey~, weren't you applying for a starter Pokémon during the day? You got one so quickly."

"Oh, you mean Zoroa? He was abandoned by his trainer and is now my Pokémon."

"Abandoned! How could that be? Zoroark is a very rare Pokémon, and it looks healthy. Besides, you really can..."

Qiao Yijing looked at Lin Ye with increasing suspicion, clearly not believing that this young man, whom she considered to have some neurotic issues, could take good care of Soroya.

Sensing Qiao Yijing's suspicious gaze, before Lin Ye could say anything, Soroya had already responded astutely.

It immediately nuzzled against Lin Ye's chest, its expression and voice incredibly affectionate—the best response to the doubts.

A fleeting look of surprise crossed Qiao Yijing's beautiful eyes; she felt she needed to redefine her previous assessment of Lin Ye.

After all, in this world, having the ability to gain the affection and trust of Pokémon is the best quality to become a trainer.

This talented person was misjudged this morning and almost was overlooked.

Thinking about this, Qiao Yijing even felt that his strange application earlier was just because she hadn't understood his humor and hadn't given him a chance to explain.

And so, because of her own associations and imagination, Qiao Yijing actually felt a little guilty towards Lin Yesheng.

So she immediately said that Lin Ye had a hard time raising Zoroya, and could enjoy special benefits such as half rent and free utilities.

Although Lin Ye wasn't short of money right now, he was happy to have a "rich woman" as a subsidy, so he immediately signed a long-term contract.
