[Skills: Tackle, Body Slam, Take Down]

Hu Tao scanned the skill bar displayed on the Pokédex screen.

"Yesterday..."

Hu Tao thought back.

"At Manager Hiroshi's shop, I have already seen Body Slam in action."

"The explanation of this skill in the Pokédex is that after jumping high, the Pokémon dives down and pins the opponent under its body with its full weight."

"Then now..."

Hu Tao aimed her attention at the other two skills: Tackle and Take Down.

The descriptions in the illustrations were similar, but the level of Take Down was obviously higher and more powerful. It was noted as a skill inherited from its parents (an Egg Move).

Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to appear on a baby Pokémon that had just been upgraded to Lv.2.

"Gible, just perform a Take Down!"

Hearing this, Gible shouted seriously.

"Gib-shark!!"

The next moment, there was a pause for a second.

Because there were no enemies or opponents around.

Hu Tao was a novice Trainer.

The order issued was quite strange, and it did not specify in which direction or at which target the Gible should attack.

After losing the target and getting stuck for a second, the Gible still stubbornly carried out the Trainer's orders!

With serious eyes, it used its Take Down with all its strength.

The sudden burst of speed and impact from the cub's body made Xiangling open her mouth in shock.

The next moment.

They saw the Gible crash directly into a brick courtyard wall.

Boom——

The wall collapsed in response.

Xiangling's mouth opened wide enough to swallow an egg.

Hu Tao had been confident and high-spirited when giving orders.

She believed that the explosive power and skill power of the baby Gible would refresh her friend's understanding.

In fact, Xiangling was indeed shocked.

But...

They witnessed the indomitable momentum of the Gible knocking down the wall of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, and then plunging straight into the neighbor's pavilion.

Then, the panicked screams of the maid and master came from the garden next door.

There was a flurry of excitement and chaos.

This time, it was Hu Tao's turn as a novice Trainer to open her mouth wide.

Crap!

Cutie, stop it!

I just want you to demonstrate your skills and power, not to demo-lish the neighborhood!

Xiangling's mouth was still open, dumbfounded as she pointed at the ruins of the wall and the terrifying hole where the Gible had broken through the house in the large courtyard next door.

"That..."

"Hu Tao, things seem to be serious."

Hu Tao turned back stiffly and smiled reluctantly at her friend.

"Xiangling, have you seen Gible's moves?"

"Awesome, right?"

"It's not just an ornamental pet, is it?"

Xiangling turned around, practically rubbing oil on the soles of her feet to speed up her escape.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

"Everything you said is right, absolutely right!"

"Sorry, Hu Tao! I suddenly remembered that I have distinguished guests to entertain today, so I have to rush back to Wanmin Restaurant to get ready! Bye!"

As soon as Xiangling slipped away, a group of soldiers clad in armor came in a hurry.

"What's going on here?"

"We are the Millelith Patrol Team!"

"Director Hu, you have destroyed the security and order of Liyue Harbor!"

The Jade Chamber.

This sky palace hovering over Liyue Harbor is a private palace built by the Tianquan, Ningguang, with huge sums of money.

The exterior is extremely splendid, and the interior is equally magnificent. It is regarded as a temple in the eyes of Liyue Harbor merchants.

As long as a little bit of information is leaked from here, the business of any merchant will take off.

Ningguang is a strong woman.

This morning, when all the officials in Liyue Harbor went to work, she sat in front of the desk in the Jade Chamber on time and reviewed the backlog of various official documents.

Ningguang's three close secretaries—Baiwen, Baishi, and Baixiao—were each busy with their own affairs.

Someone was making tea.

Someone was sorting out books and documents.

Someone was standing next to Ningguang's chair, reading a record of this month's events.

"This month, everything in Liyue is peaceful. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are no vicious incidents or large-scale casualties..."

Ningguang nodded, having just expressed her satisfaction with this.

Suddenly, the captain of the Millelith came to report outside the door.

After reading the incident record, Baiwen hurriedly went out to receive the report.

Soon, Baiwen returned with a strange look on her face.

"Lady Ningguang, just as you finished your tea..."

"A building collapse occurred in the area where the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is located."

"Well, the captain of the Millelith said that the culprit was a strange pet that Director Hu had just adopted."

Ningguang suddenly raised her eyebrows slightly.

She was just relieved that there were no vicious incidents or large-scale casualties in Liyue Harbor!

"Are there any casualties?"

Baiwen hurriedly said, "There are no deaths, only two servants were slightly injured by falling debris."

Ningguang's expression softened.

"That culprit... could it be the '50 Million Mora' rumor that spread throughout Liyue Harbor overnight?"

"Fifty Million Mora" was the busybodies of Liyue Harbor's nickname for the pet adopted by Director Hu. It had already become a popular new meme.

Baiwen was not surprised that Ningguang knew this story.

In fact, yesterday evening, not long after Hu Tao took Gible out of the door of the Pokémon Home, relevant intelligence news was received in the Jade Chamber.

What is that saying?

"The Tianquan condenses the law, and one is rich; the eyes are bright, and the peach is shy and the apricot is shy; the eyes are clear, and the ear is clear, and everything is known!"

Ears clear and eyes clear.

A thousand hits.

There are so many things they handle every day.

There is no way that anything big or small in Liyue Harbor can be hidden from Ningguang's eyes and ears.
