Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

Kanto, Kumiko City.

After a long journey, Lu An finally returned to Guandong.

Upon returning to Kanto, Lu An immediately called Imai:

"Imai, I need you."

On the other end, Imai, who had just woken up, looked completely bewildered:

"What?"

"Aren't you from Golden City? So I wanted to ask if you know anything about the area around Golden University. I'd like to rent a place."

Imai was completely awake:

"You've gone back to Golden City?"

When Lu An went to Hoenn, his roommates, with whom he had only spent a few days, informed him.

Lu An's phone call immediately made Imai realize that Lu An had returned to Golden City.

"But why are you looking for a place near Golden University? Aren't you planning to go back to your dorm?"

"No, I usually stay in my dorm, but..."

Lu An glanced at the Espeon, Umbreon, Volcarona, and Swampert beside him, and hesitated for a moment:

"If you're not too busy, let's talk in person."

"Okay, then wait for me to get up, and we'll meet at the basketball court downstairs in the dorm."

"OK."

Ten minutes later, Imai, accompanied by a curious Gousuke, met Lu An, who was already waiting at the basketball court.

"Lu An, I heard you're being kept by a sugar daddy, and you're planning to move out?"

Upon meeting, Lu An was taken aback by Gang Jie's unrestrained remarks.

He glared at Gangsuke and released all four of his Pokémon.

“Buyi”.

“Eebu”.

"..."

"Ratchet."

Gangjie, who had originally intended to tease Lu An, suddenly found himself speechless when he saw a moth the same size as him standing in front of him, and a giant swamp monster whose forearm was thicker than his waist.

When they first met Lu An's two Eevee, the Eevee's cute appearance didn't seem aggressive, and Gang Jie was quite relaxed because he thought he had a height advantage.

But the two Pokémon he saw today were quite different. When Volcarona spread its wings, it was like a large, fiery red cloth, obscuring the entire scene before his eyes.

Looking at the giant swamp monster with its muscular body, Gangjie had no doubt that it could take him down with just a little finger.

Imai was also startled by the fire moth and the giant swamp monster.

After all, Lu An led Volcarona to defeat Arima, the school team's coach, and rushed to Hoenn without stopping, so they naturally hadn't seen Volcarona before.

However, upon seeing these two Pokémon, which were much larger than Eevee, Imai immediately understood:

"Given their size, they definitely need a house outside; the school dormitories aren't suitable for letting them out."

"Yes, that's why I hope you can help me find a suitable place to rent near the university."

As a local of Golden City, Imai certainly knows the situation in the vicinity better than Lu An.

Actually, it would be more convenient for Lu An to ask Nazi for help, since Nazi herself is one of the biggest local bullies in Golden City.

However, Lu An was not keen on going to see Na Zi.

He always felt that this woman with superpowers was somewhat frightening.

This wasn't because they were "terrifying" as rivals, but rather because he had a natural apprehension towards someone as shrewd and calculating as Natsume.

If I ask Naz for help this time, I have a feeling that she will use it as an excuse to make me do some kind of work as a tool or a shield in the future.

Therefore, it's better not to contact her at all.

Imai sized up the Volcano and the Swamp Monster:

What are your requirements for the house?

Lu An stroked his chin and pondered:

"First, there needs to be plenty of space, then there needs to be a sunny balcony, and most importantly, the environment needs to be clean."

After returning to Kanto a month or so later, Swampert is looking around the university with a touch of curiosity.

Upon hearing Lu An's last words, the Swampert immediately turned its head and nodded its large head in agreement.

"Lachi~"

Imai thought for a moment, then clapped his hands:

"In that case, why don't you come to my house?"

"Your home?" Lu An hesitated for a moment. "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Imai smiled slightly:

"Have you forgotten that my dad is a shareholder in Silver? He bought a house near Golden University. If you need to rent a place outside, why don't you just come and stay at my house?"

Without further ado, Imai grabbed Lu An and Gangjie and headed out of the school.

A moment later, standing in front of Imai's "home," looking at the entire row of villas on the side of Golden University, Lu An twitched his cheek:

"Imai, are you saying that this entire villa complex is your home?"

Gangjie was so wide-eyed he couldn't close his mouth:

"Ber, Imai, you never told the guys that this whole neighborhood is yours, did you?"

"When I first arrived at the school, I was puzzled to see this villa all deserted. In such a bustling city as Golden City, how could there be an uninhabited villa? Is this all yours?"

A blush crept across Imai's stunningly beautiful face as she said somewhat shyly:

"Actually, I originally wanted to rent it to trainers at Goldenrod University who needed space, but after doing a quick calculation, I realized that I wouldn't make enough money to cover the cost, so I just gave up on renting it out."

“My dad told me that if I get tired of living at the university, I can stay outside for a couple of days.”

Lu An looked at the embarrassed Imai and twitched his lips.

You're so rich, aren't you embarrassed to go for it?

You're blushing like a bubble teapot!

All the rich kids should be taken out and squeezed into lard!

Takeshi pulled Imai close, his shifty eyes gleaming as he nuzzled her:

"Imai, that's not very loyal of you. You have this building, and you've been keeping it a secret from your brothers? Everyone else keeps their mistresses hidden away, but you're hiding your mistress in a golden house!"

Imai rolled her eyes at Gōsuke:

"I'm usually quite comfortable living in my dorm, so I never thought about it. If Lu An hadn't brought it up today, I would have almost forgotten about it."

“Although it’s my house, no one lives here usually. Since Lu An has this need, let’s go pick one out.”

Seeing Gosuke's eyes growing brighter and brighter, Imai knew perfectly well what he was thinking:

"If you're interested, you can choose a room to stay in, as long as you don't go out and find women to spend the night with."

Gosuke hugged Imai and showered him with kisses:

"Imai, you're amazing! You're practically my second adoptive father! I would never bring any women back to party, have you forgotten? I'm a fisherman!"

Lu An glanced disdainfully at Gangjie, who was fawning over Imai, flattering him to the extreme. A man who bows to money is truly shameful.

Imai shoved Gosuke aside and looked at Lu An:

"Lu An, shall we go and see which house meets your requirements?"

Lu An, who had been looking down on Gang Jie, immediately changed his expression:

"Cough cough."

Although Lu An harbored some resentment towards the wealthy, he still felt quite at ease when that wealth fell into his lap.

"Since Imai has said so, why don't we go take a look together?"

"Let's go."

"Godfather, please go first."

"please."
