Ren had already noticed something.
The Pokémon drawn by guests so far were almost all in their base forms.
Not a single evolved Pokémon had appeared.
And Pokémon like Lapras—without any evolutionary line yet possessing power comparable to Charizard—were extremely rare.
He hadn't expected another one to appear so soon.
---
"It's kind of handsome… this one looks amazing."
Lucy stared at the Pokédex screen.
Luna had said it looked like a bird.
Lucy absolutely disagreed.
"Bird? No way. That's clearly a flying dragon. A pterosaur!"
Her eyes sparkled.
---
"It's very strong," Ren said with a smile.
"It's not inferior to the Lapras Emma drew yesterday."
"It's called Aerodactyl. Rock and Flying type. Its strength is impressive."
Luna's luck was honestly ridiculous.
Yes—
She had drawn Aerodactyl.
Like Lapras, it had no evolutionary form, yet its base strength exceeded 500.
And it could even Mega Evolve.
"Aerodactyl… that name sounds so domineering," Lucy muttered.
"It really is a pterosaur!" Luna added excitedly.
---
Ren nodded.
"Aerodactyl is a Pokémon from ancient times. In modern days, wild ones are nearly impossible to find. They can only be revived from fossilized amber."
"In prehistoric skies, it was considered the king of the air. It soared freely and had an extremely fierce temperament."
He paused slightly.
"Some scholars even believe that Mega Aerodactyl represents its true ancient form—because fossil resurrection may not fully restore its original genetic structure."
"Whether that's true or not… no one knows."
"But one thing is certain."
"It's an outstanding Pokémon."
---
Luna studied the image again.
"…It does look fierce."
She swallowed lightly.
It really did.
Sharp teeth. Huge wings. Predatory eyes.
Seeing her hesitation, Ren reassured gently:
"Don't worry. The Pokémon from this shop all have stable temperaments. None of them are uncontrollable."
Wild Aerodactyl were notoriously difficult to tame.
But Pokémon from Pokémon House were different.
Energetic, yes.
Ferocious?
Not without reason.
After all, if customers took home Pokémon that completely ignored them, that would ruin his business.
Of course—
If someone treated their Pokémon badly and got abandoned?
That was their own problem.
Ren would only smile professionally.
---
Luna brightened immediately.
"Then I want this Aerodactyl!"
Her innocent smile returned.
"Please wait," Ren replied.
---
A moment later, the compartment door opened.
A gray figure burst out.
Dual wings spread wide.
"Ruaaah—!"
The deep, powerful roar filled the shop.
Lucy's eyes widened instantly.
"That's too cool!"
Aerodactyl slowly descended.
It looked even more imposing in real life than in the image.
Gray body. Purple inner wings. Serrated teeth. Sharp claws. Small hooked claws at the wing joints.
And it was large.
Standing upright, its height nearly reached Luna's shoulders.
Without a doubt—
It could easily lift her off the ground.
"It's even more domineering in person…" Luna whispered.
---
"It's handsome, right?" Ren chuckled, holding a box of energy cubes.
"And as a Flying-type, it can also be used as a mount."
"A mount?!" Luna's eyes went wide.
"Of course. With its size, carrying one or two people isn't difficult."
"As long as the Pokémon is strong enough, Flying-types can take people into the sky."
Lucy looked envious.
Flying on a dragon-like Pokémon…
That was every childhood dream.
---
Aerodactyl suddenly lowered its head.
It had caught the scent of the energy cubes.
"Here," Ren said, placing them down.
Aerodactyl immediately began eating.
Not fierce at all.
Just… hungry.
---
Lucy raised the Pokédex.
> Aerodactyl – Rock / Flying
Fossil Pokémon
Ability: Rock Head
Moves: Bite, Ancient Power, Supersonic, Dragon Breath
Said to be a ferocious Pokémon that once dominated the prehistoric skies, knowing no fear.
Lucy clicked her tongue.
Comparing this to her Snivy…
Her Snivy was definitely still a baby.
---
"Boss, how much?" Luna asked quickly.
"I'm checking out now!"
"For Aerodactyl… 400,000."
Ren considered briefly before naming the price.
Rare fossil. Excellent potential. Mega Evolution capable.
Worth it.
"Card!" Luna immediately shoved it toward him, afraid he might change his mind.
---
Holding a box of Rock-type energy cubes, Luna approached carefully.
Aerodactyl paused mid-bite and stared at her.
Her heart jumped.
"Don't be nervous… we'll be partners from now on, okay?"
Dreepy floated over cheerfully.
"Dree~"
Aerodactyl sniffed the offered cube.
Then—
Chomp.
Accepted.
Ancient kings of the sky were still weak to good food.
---
Luna slowly reached out.
Her fingers touched Aerodactyl's rough head.
The texture was solid and real beneath her palm.
Her face lit up completely.
"Mom, Dad… your daughter is successful in life!"
"Aerodactyl, eat slowly. I'll make sure you're always full!"
"Ruaa!"
"It's so cute~"
Lucy nearly choked.
Cute?
That word did not match this prehistoric predator.
Yet—
When Lucy tried stepping closer—
Aerodactyl stopped eating and stared at her sharply.
"…Why are you so fierce to me?" Lucy muttered.
Obvious favoritism.
---
Ren smiled faintly.
"Looks like you're getting along well."
Luna grinned.
"The boss was right. It looks scary, but it's actually very good."
She quickly snapped a photo and opened the Pokémon Home group chat.
---
Miss Luna: Ta-da! New member—Aerodactyl! Handsome or not?!
Birdie: (O_O) Aerodactyl?!
Big Brother Mitsumi: That's a dragon! Why is your dragon so cool?!
Miss Luna: Heehee~ No evolution form, full power right away! Boss said it was the king of the ancient skies!
LarvitarIsNotAFoodie: …It looks too cool. Suddenly my Onix doesn't feel impressive anymore.
FoxGuy: With all due respect, Miss Luna, using this kind of luck is dangerous.
FoxGuy: Are you sacrificing your lifespan to draw Pokémon?
Silence filled the group for a second.
First draw—Dreepy.
Second draw—Aerodactyl.
Was this even reasonable?
Absolutely not.
Totally unfair.
