Next, it's about where Gholdengo will go.
Before evolving, Gimmighoul is naturally timid and doesn't like to go out in front of humans.
But after evolving, Gholdengo's temperament undergoes a dramatic change.
The Pokédex says that Gholdengo is lively and cheerful, and very friendly towards both humans and Pokemon.
With such a personality, there's no way Gholdengo would continue hiding in the Pokemon Tavern like during its Gimmighoul days.
Thinking of this, Naoki said, "Let's go, let's head out together! It's time to officially introduce you to everyone!"
"Jingling~!"
Gholdengo knew there were many Pokemon living in the ranch; it had found out through secret observations before evolving.
Alcremie, Pawmo, Dragonite, Ogerpon...
Gholdengo also wanted to play with them.
So, Gholdengo let go of Naoki's hand, walked ahead of him, and ran out of the tavern full of expectations, turning back at the door to look back.
Naoki was slightly startled, then realized that Gholdengo wanted to interact with the outside world.
He smiled slightly, lifted his foot to follow Gholdengo's steps, and led it into the ranch.
Standing on the grass, Naoki whistled toward the surroundings.
Soon, a large group of Pokemon came running from all directions.
Koraidon, Cyclizar, Pawmo, Alcremie, Dragonite, Dragonair, two Eevees, Arboliva...
When all the Pokemon were gathered, Naoki cleared his throat and introduced them:
"From now on, this Pokemon is also our new companion, its name is Gholdengo!"
Pokemon had different reactions to the new companion.
Dragonite and Dragonair were attracted by Gholdengo's golden glowing body and found it amazing.
Koraidon stood with arms crossed on the sidelines, looking as if it was used to things like this.
Alcremie and Ogerpon happily welcomed Gholdengo, and the addition of a new companion made Ogerpon so happy that it hopped twice on the grass.
Pawmo scratched its head, showing a happy expression as well.
For it, the more companions, the better, as the ranch would become livelier, and Pawmo loved lively places.
As for the Pokemon that welcomed it, Gholdengo also displayed its friendliness.
It danced a mysterious dance on the ground, like a boy breakdancing.
The next second, a magical scene happened.
Suddenly, a cool rain of gold coins fell from thin air.
The golden coins looked particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
The Pokemon lifted their heads to gaze at the sky, then reached out their hands.
The coins in the sky seemed to be guided, landing in their palms.
A cheerful smile appeared on Gholdengo's face.
Naoki was dumbfounded by the scene, mouth agape.
Wow... so impressive!
Is this what it means to be wealthy, just casually raining gold coins?
No wonder the Pokédex says Gholdengo can immediately form good relationships with anyone...
Looking at it now, those words were indeed true.
Because Naoki saw Ogerpon and the others pulling Gholdengo's hand, surrounding it in the middle, and taking it to play in Snorlax Park.
Naoki looked down at the shiny new coin in his palm.
He bit it hard with his teeth.
Yep, it's real!
Now it seems Gholdengo really can generate coins right on the spot!
"Are they coins made with Steel Type Energy?" Naoki wondered in his heart.
Things like this really defy science!
What does it feel like to suddenly have a wealthy one in the ranch?
Naoki vaguely realized that he probably would no longer have to suffer from poverty in the future.

At 4 PM, Larry woke up from his sleep.
He opened his eyes and found himself lying in a bed.
Larry got up somewhat confused, left the room, and went downstairs.
"Awake?" Naoki, brewing tea on the sofa, saw Larry and asked.
Larry was slightly stunned, then realized what had happened.
After a nap, he finally recovered some spirit: "Thank you, Naoki, for the disturbance today."
"You're welcome, have some tea and snacks!" Naoki said with a smile.
Larry, poor overworked brother.
Seeing Larry's dark circles and weary appearance, Naoki was reminded of himself as a corporate drone before crossing over, and couldn't help but feel sympathy for Larry.
"Were the coins I brought useful?" Larry sat on the sofa; even seeing a legendary Pokemon like Calyrex, he wasn't too surprised.
As a member of society, years of work had long helped him develop a heart that views everything as normal.
Naoki nodded: "I've already used them, and I must sincerely thank you. If not for the coins you sent me, I'd have been in hot water."
He was just 4 coins short before, almost drove him crazy.
Larry took a sip of tea: "You're welcome, it was the chief's assignment."
Naoki smiled.
And Larry continued: "I have another favor to ask."
Naoki was slightly surprised, and then said: "Go ahead, if I can help."
Larry: "I want to battle you in a Pokemon match."
Naoki was a bit slow to react: "Hmm?"
Larry explained: "For me, this is part of my job too."
Besides, this was arranged by the chief, and as a Gym Leader, he had to come and participate in the trial.
Naoki understood, but didn't know what to say.
"Would you like to rest a bit more?" Naoki asked.
Larry shook his head: "No, let me finish this task quickly! I want to finish work sooner."
Naoki: "...Alright."
Larry took a simple sip of tea, then stood up and followed behind Naoki to the ranch.
Naoki initially planned to introduce Larry to some trials in the ranch.
But when he saw Gholdengo's figure, he suddenly changed his mind.
Because Naoki thought of something very interesting.
So next, let's see whether the endurance of a working adult has any effect on Gholdengo!
