Chapter 30:Family Meets the Shopkeeper.

A/N: I am here once again, to update the chap and deliver some news... I have completed 30 Chapters of MRA! All of them having 2.5k Words minimum.

So as Promised, I will be focusing more on ACPS untill I finish writing 10-20 chaps!

Same word count ofc.

Or, If you guys want, I can write 1.5K words daily and It would be possible for me to do much frequent updates from now on.

Either way, I'm fine with it. (-w-

....

Currently, Im writing 41, so, after I finished writing chapter 50 I would most likely start doing regular updates.

Heck, maybe even more, if I finish chapter 60 early, then I can even do double updates weekly

Or, if I, for some reason, write up to chapter 70 or Heck, 80.. then dang, I can probably do 3 chapters per week.

Oh well, U guys decide.

1.5k

Or

2.5K

That is all, Enjoy your chapter!

I entered the door, with Arisu holding my right hand while I held the PokeBall containing Shinx in my left hand.

What awaited in the lobby was me, or rather my shopkeeper persona that is currently donned by Siesta.

"Hey bro, my aunts and uncles along with my cousin are already in the corridors, they're currently examining the paintings and will enter soon"

"And this cutie patootie right here is my younger cousin, Arisu, Isn't she cute?" I voiced in a rather high-pitched manner at the end.

The Shopkeeper, or rather Siesta, meanwhile, smiled after hearing my words.

She stood up from her seat before walking towards me and Arrisu and crouching in front of her before saying.

"Nice to meet you, little lady it seems that my friend wasn't lying when he mentioned how adorable you are"

Siesta then stood up, her eyes looking at me, and said "It's nice seeing you again my friend"

"No need to be so formal man, just call me Z"

I scoffed from his or her words then handed the PokeBall containing Shinx and said.

"As promised, here's Shinx; you can check him out while me and Arrisu can go out to meet the others if you don't mind."

"Ah! Of course, you can bring little missy here to meet the others, I'm sure she will enjoy their company as much as they will enjoy hers"

She replied, now holding Shinx PokeBall before releasing the little guy from its PokeBall.

{"Shinx?"}

Meanwhile, Arisu was looking at the Shop Keeper, stunned as the shopkeeper's appearance is rather peculiar, with white hair and blue eyes, while his outfit is also a pearly white long sleeve and black pants.

Me and Siesta, of course, noticed her peculiar reaction, but the two of us just smiled at it, attributing it to her Ignorance; after all, she's just a child.

Heck, a person with white hair and blue eyes is rare even in real life, and most people have not met a person like that in their life.

"Arisu-chan, staring at someone is rude, you know?"

My words awoke her, and she blushed and panicked.

"Um…Ah.."

"Hahaha, it's okay young lady, your brother was stunned when he first saw me as well, so no need to be worried… now go with your big brother, I'm sure you will enjoy where you two are going" Siesta voiced, smiling, which wasn't wrong per-se as I was greatly stunned when I first laid my eyes on her.

Still, it didn't change the fact that it was embarrassing, so I scratched my head awkwardly and voiced "Let's go now Arisu, Shinx will follow along afterward, Big brother over there just needs to check on Shinx for a moment"

"Alright, Big Bwother," Arisu replies; I smiled at her response before I looked back to the Siesta and nodded before leading Arisu to one of the doors that lead outside, reserved for the arena that I will hopefully get in the future.

Currently, it's empty, so I used it as an alternative door to go out on the farm.

Once the two of us got out, I led Arisu into the berry farm, and along the way, she looked around in wonder, not realizing the absurdities of what just happened, which is normal as she's just a child once again.

Once we reached there, I looked back at her and asked, "Are you ready to meet your new friend, Arisu?"

She replied with a nod, her face full of anticipation and I smiled before I whistled, much to arisu's surprise and confusion

*Fwheooooooooww*

"wait for it…" I voiced, and not long after, the ground trembled; Pokemon started to emerge from the forest, starting from a few Pidgey and fletchings, before the critters like Rattata, both Alolan and Kantonian, followed by Zigzagoon and even a Pichu, surprisingly appeared, followed by some combines.

Afterward came the big ones, a Tauros with a Charjabug and grubbing on top of it, then a Growlithe followed by a Vulpix and a pair of Nidoran.

Then, a pair of Butterfree appeared as well as two Beedrills, followed by a vikavolt.

And lastly, slowpoke, who is the oldest of the bunch, and Happiny, the youngest, were carried by a hulking Onix.

On top of the Onix's head is none other than Ditto, who upon seeing me along with Arisu, waved his hands before exclaiming something to the Pokemon in front.

What Ditto said made the Pokemon change their course as they went into a clearing beside the shop, avoiding the berry farm entirely.

These are the Pokemon that were not bought by the one who hatched them for a plethora of reasons.

And although they were pretty sad at first because of that fact, they had recovered already because of the previous ones who weren't successfully bought.

But, when the queen had come and bought, or rather adopted, the energetic Yamper, the Pokemon gained hope that someday someone would be willing to become their partner.

And I was planning on doing just that; I had decided to buy only a few eggs from today onwards and opted to introduce the customers to these adorable mon's first so they could choose whether to adopt one from them or just buy the eggs.

But that's a story for another time; today, it's all about Arisu, who has stars in her eyes as soon as she sees the Pokemon emerge from the forest.

"so? Are you excited to befriend all of them, A-chan?" I asked my cousin, who was clearly full of excitement and anticipation as she nodded in enthusiasm.

Seeing this, I smiled once more and let go of her hand, and voiced, "Now go and play with them! I'm sure they will love you as well A-chan, just be careful!"

Hearing my words, Arisu couldn't hold back anymore as she ran towards the mons that had lined up, her arms outreached as she waddled towards them.

Meanwhile, Ditto had transformed Into a Pidgey, flying towards me before transforming into a normal hedgehog and landing on top of my head.

"Hello there bud! How was everyone? Did they eat already?"

I reached out towards my pointy little friend before nuzzling my head on his which made Ditto giggle as he replied, nodding as he spoke.

{"Di-tto~"}

"That's good, Auntie Kyouko and Yuuko and Uncle Nate and Hiro, along with Ryuuko are already in the shop, but I need you to look after Arisu for now, I'll take them here a while later"

{"Shin-Shinxxx!"} Suddenly, the two of us heard the voice of Shinx, prompting us to look back where we saw Shinx running towards the two of us.

Seeing Shinx, Ditto shapeshifted back into his base form, waving at Shinx before he looked back at me. His intentions couldn't be clearer, so I nodded, which made Ditto smile as he jumped down from my hands before turning into another Shinx.

I smiled, of course, seeing the two's reunion before I walked towards Shinx as well and caressed its head lovingly as I did with the rest of the mons before I voiced.

"You two can go and play with Arisu, do watch over her as Arisu is quite naughty sometimes, she might hurt herself if she climbed on Onix"

"As for me, I'll go back inside and join the talks, as it seemed like it has begun already since you're here and all that"

The two, Shinx and Ditto nodded from my words before they strode towards the rest of the Pokemon and Arisu.

This scene made me smile once more; seeing Arisu playing with Growlithe and the rest, running around each Pokemon, is such a serene scene that it's sacrilege to even disrupt it.

So I turned my back, smiling as I walked back towards the door in a happy mood.

I came back inside at a perfect time as my aunts and uncles had started talking or rather negotiating with Siesta about the collaboration, while Ryuuko looked to be bored but still listening to the talks.

She, of course, noticed me the second,d, with Siesta being the first as we are connected, ed, but Siesta seemed to not mind me for now. Meanwhile, Ryuuko, being the least busy and tense out of my relatives, Siesta looked like the epitome of calmness, sipping tea as she spoke with my aunts and uncles with rather ease.

Ryuuko's eyes shone for a bit before they switched to confusion as she didn't see Arisu with me, but I just smiled at her and walked towards the sofa she was sitting on, facing the world tree sapling which was not too far from the table siesta and my uncle's and aunties are talking in.

I wasn't worried at all, as I completely trust Siesta with handling the negotiating talks, as even though she doesn't act like it most of the time, she is, after all, a goddess… somewhat.

"so?...where's Arisu?" Ryuuko asked, with a questioning face, her right brow higher than her left one.

Seeing this made me chuckle as I remembered a popular meme in the previous world I came from, which is the "The Rock Face" meme.

He doesn't exist in this world for some reason, or he does, but he's quite unknown.

Figures, wrestling, or rather WWE, did not exist in this world, so The Rock and other notable wrestlers like John Cena were not known.

Though thinking about it, it would be funny if I make The Rock a Rock-type gym leader or even a Rock-type elite four in this world.

But who knows what would happen?

"Oi!" Ryuuko's voice snapped me out of my inner monologue.

"My bad, I was thinking of something… A-chan is playing outside with the Pokemon since we were permitted by the Shopkeeper," I replied, which made Ryuuko greatly confused as "outside" from what she remembers is just the alleyway or the City highway.

I, of course, knew what she was thinking, so I sighed before standing up once more, beckoning her to follow, which she did.

This time, we were finally noticed by my aunts and uncles, who, upon seeing me open the door, revealing the greenery and the forest not far away, were shocked, same with Ryuuko.

But I didn't pay them any mind for now, grabbing the stunned Ryuuko's arm before I tugged her out.

I then looked back at the five and voiced.

"be back in a minute, you guys can continue"

I then dragged the still-stunned Ryuuko behind me, leading her toward Arisu and the Pokemon.

We reached there, seeing the scene of Arisu and the rest of the Pokemon except for Onix and Slowpoke, who seemed to act as referee, running away from the two Nidorans who seemed to be "It" as they played tag.

"There, you can watch over Arisu here since you're bored inside while I go back there and join in, or maybe just listen to them if you and Arisu get hungry, you can harvest some of the berries in the back, I've received permission from the Shop Keeper for it"

"although be careful with the berry plantation, that's all see ya later"

After saying my piece, I went back inside, leaving the amazed Ryuuko standing there.

We were, of course, noticed by the Pokemon and Arisu who were playing, but I just waved at them and smiled before pointing at my older cousin, implying that she was free to play with them as I walked back inside the building.

I came back inside the shop only to see Siesta and Uncle Hirohito had shaken hands while standing

.

"I missed it didn't I?" I stared at them, speechless, and stole a glance towards Siesta, who smirked mischievously before she got back to her poker face.

My eyes twitched seeing this so I sighed and looked at my Uncles and Aunties before looking at Siesta once again.

"Can I bring them on the back as well?"

"Sure~ You can also help them pick a Pokemon each if they want. Although I do recommend just picking eggs later once we get more" She finished with a wink before looking at my aunts and uncles and said. "If you would excuse me, I need to go in the library, Zeke can lead you around if you want a tour of the shop"

After saying that, Siesta walked away and entered the library. Most likely to sleep.

I looked back at my aunts and uncles before I sighed and led them out onto the farm.

"Unbelievable!"

"How is this even remotely possible?!?"

My two uncles exclaimed in wonder and disbelief while my two aunts just gasped, speechless, as they wandered their eyes around the place.

"As you might have realized by now, we aren't in the same place as where we entered. I can't explain more due to my agreement with the Shopkeeper, but he gave us permission to walk around and explore here."

"As for Arisu and Ryuuko, the two are currently on the other side, playing with the Pokemon residents that the shop currently has"

I led them towards the berry plantation and stopped so they could check it out.

"This here is the berry plantation; this is where I got the berries that I brought on the house. The Shopkeeper manually harvests the berries and he also plants them himself as well." I proudly stated before I closed in on one rawst berry bush, plucked 5 of them, and passed four of them to my Aunt's and Uncle's.

Aunt Kyouko "Oh my, it's amazing as always" She smiled in delight as she chewed on the rawst berry.

Aunt Yuuko: "I know, right? This is the best strawberry I have ever tasted"

One thing to know is that, unlike their normal counterparts, berries are safe to eat even if freshly plucked, much less the one that's grown in here as the system automatically cleanses them of any dirt and germs at all times.

Uncle Nate: "Here, hun, you seem to like it." He handed his Rawst berry to Aunt Kyouko, which she happily accepted and repaid Uncle Nate with a peck on the lips.

Seeing this, Uncle Hirohito also followed suit, making Aunt Yuuko giggle as she also gave him a peck on the lips.

My jaws slacked open seeing this, as the two couples just fed me a mouthful of dog food.

'I wanna cry' I thought with teary eyes, as I looked at them acting all lovey-dovey.

"Mamma!" Suddenly, Arisu's voice, along with a rumbling sound, was heard and felt by the five of us, and when he looked to the side, we found Arisu and Ryuuko riding on Onix's back, who slithered towards us, followed by the rest of the pokemon.

Our eyes widened as we stared at the approaching Pokemons stampede.
