Genshin Impact: Selling Pokemons in Teyvat

"Ah… how could this be?" 

A frustrated voice came from inside the shop, accompanied by the comforting sounds of "Guoba, Guoba." 

"There's no helping it, Chef Xiangling. This is the price of Jueyun Chilis now." 

Landorus pushed the door open and walked in. 

Inside, he saw a girl dressed in a modified qipao that revealed her slender, ivory-like thighs, making the outfit more suitable for running. She stood at the counter with a troubled expression. 

A bear-like creature tugged at her clothes, continuously making "Guoba, Guoba" sounds, seemingly trying to comfort her. 

"Oh, a customer! Please come in… in… in…" 

The shopkeeper greeted with a smile upon hearing the door open, but halfway through his words, he froze when he saw who had entered. The rest of his sentence got stuck in his throat and was swallowed back. 

"Y-you… are you an adeptus?" 

The shopkeeper's voice trembled. 

The term "visiting adepti" had spread like wildfire, and most people in Liyue dreamed of encountering an adeptus, receiving their guidance, and obtaining everything they desired. 

The shopkeeper was no exception, but due to his age, he could only dream about it. 

But who would have thought that his family's ancestral grave had somehow produced such good fortune, bringing an adeptus to his shop? 

What? You say this isn't an adeptus? 

Impossible, absolutely impossible! 

Look at that orange skin, the clouds beneath its feet, and its humanoid form. 

How could this not be an adeptus? 

It couldn't possibly be a mutated Hilichurl, could it? 

"An adeptus? Where's the adeptus?" 

Xiangling, who had been pondering where to find more Jueyun Chilis, immediately perked up at the mention of an adeptus, even drooling a little. 

An adeptus… surely they must have many rare and exotic ingredients, right? 

"Not an adeptus, I'm Landorus." 

Landorus wagged a finger in front of him, correcting the misconception with a serious tone. 

Oh, it can talk! 

The sudden speech startled the shopkeeper, further solidifying his belief that Landorus was indeed an adeptus. 

As for why this adeptus didn't reveal their true title… perhaps there was a deeper reason. 

"This adeptus… I mean, Lord Landorus, what can I get for you?" 

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands together, suppressing his excitement. 

Even if he didn't gain any divine favor this time, just having the sign "An Adeptus Shopped Here" would surely bring in a flood of customers. 

"Hmm, what kind of seeds do you have here?" 

Landorus stroked his chin as he examined the items in the counter. 

After all, this was a different world, and even as the God of Fields, he could only recognize a small portion of the items. 

The shopkeeper looked troubled. 

He couldn't understand why Landorus wanted seeds, but he answered honestly. 

"Lord Landorus, I don't have many seeds here. This is Liyue Harbor, after all, where farmland is scarce. Naturally, there's little demand for crop seeds. However, many people enjoy planting ornamental flowers, so I only have seeds for Glaze Lilies and Silk Flowers." 

"Lord Landorus, would you… like these?" 

The shopkeeper spoke with a hint of despair. 

He had already imagined stocking up on whatever Landorus bought, knowing that with the endorsement of an adeptus, it would sell like hotcakes. 

"Adeptus-approved XX, even the adepti say it's good!" 

But now, it seemed this deal was about to fall through. 

The shopkeeper was filled with regret. If he had known this day would come, he would have prepared more crop seeds. 

"Ornamental flowers, huh… fine, fine, wrap them up for me." 

Although it was a pity not to get unique crops from this world, ornamental flowers would have to do. He could plant a few berry trees in the backyard to make it less empty. 

"Right away, please wait a moment." 

The shopkeeper, who had already prepared for the deal to fall through, now felt like the sun had come out after the rain. His eyes narrowed into a smile. 

After today, he would change his shop's sign to specialize in selling seeds. 

Soon, the seeds were packed, and Landorus and the shopkeeper exchanged goods for Mora. 

With that done, Landorus picked up the seeds and prepared to leave. 

"Lord Adeptus, please wait!" 

At that moment, Xiangling called out to Landorus. 

"Huh? I already said I'm not an adeptus, I'm Landorus. What do you need, little girl?" 

Landorus stroked the cloud-like beard on his chin, correcting Xiangling's address once again. 

"Oh, Lord Landorus, do you know where I can find special ingredients or a large amount of Jueyun Chilis?" 

Wanmin Restaurant's signature dish is Wanmin Boiled Fish, and most customers order it. 

The problem is, this dish requires a large amount of Jueyun Chilis. 

However, the Jueyun Chilis she bought here were only enough for one day, far from sufficient to keep Wanmin Restaurant running. 

So, Xiangling wanted to ask Landorus if he knew where to find a large amount of Jueyun Chilis. 

After all, in her mind, the adepti lived in seclusion in Jueyun Karst, a place rarely visited by humans, so there should be plenty of wild ingredients there. And the adepti should know the taste of those ingredients. 

Hearing this, Landorus became interested. "Jueyun Chilis… are those the red ones in the basket?" 

From the name, he guessed they were probably this world's version of chili peppers. 

"Yes, these are the ones." 

Xiangling took out a fiery red Jueyun Chili and handed it to Landorus. 

Landorus didn't hesitate and took a bite. Instantly, a fiery spiciness exploded in his mouth, shooting straight to the top of his head. After the intense heat, a fragrant aroma filled his mouth, leaving his lips numb. 

Landorus's eyes lit up. This was good stuff. He tossed the entire Jueyun Chili into his mouth. 

"I can get you a large batch of these… Jueyun Chilis, but I'll need to use the ones in your basket. Afterward, you'll have to give me half of what we get. How does that sound?" 

Xiangling immediately nodded upon hearing that she could get a large amount of Jueyun Chilis. 

"Yes, yes, as long as I can get three hundred, that'll be enough." 

Three hundred would be enough to keep Wanmin Restaurant running for a while. She could figure out the rest later. 

"Alright, follow me." 

With that, Landorus picked up Xiangling and Guoba and flew into the sky, turning into a streak of yellow lightning that disappeared into the horizon. 

"Ahhhhh!!!! Too fast!!!" 

In the air, Xiangling's screams echoed, occasionally accompanied by Guoba's cries. 

Soon, the sensation of speeding through the air stopped. 

Xiangling cautiously opened her eyes and realized that in that short time, she had crossed half of Liyue Harbor and returned to Chihu Rock. 

Landorus placed her and Guoba in front of a shop called Pokémon Home. 

She knew of this shop, as it was close to Wanmin Restaurant, but she had never entered it. From the outside, it was unclear what kind of business it was. 

"Come on, little girl, follow me inside." 

With that, Landorus pushed open the shop's door and walked in. 

"Li Pan, I'm back." 

Landorus called out loudly as he entered, but after a while, there was no response from Li Pan. He began to sense something was wrong. 

Opening his eyes, he saw a woman in a qipao staring at him in shock.
