Chapter 602 A Large Number of Rare Stones Appear!
Carlos region, Miare city.
When Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun arrived in the city, the time had just reached nine o'clock in the morning.
The originally peaceful city gradually became lively, like a large beast awakening.
Cobblestone-paved streets surround the office buildings on the outside of the city, and the internal avenues are lined with typical Parisian buildings. The wide roads provide safe and convenient driving conditions for the city. Diagonal canals flow through the center of the city.
There is no doubt that this is a super metropolis full of romance and artistic atmosphere!
One person and one Pokémon were walking on the street. Guluton, which was originally very eye-catching in Ziqin Town, seemed a bit too ordinary here.
Because there are all kinds of Pokémon walking around on the streets!
The tall mount goat, the lady-dressed Dolymia, the handsome and cool Sonic Dragon, the rogue panda with a sinister expression on his face holding vanilla in his mouth...
Along the way, there are various cafes dotted on the streets. It seems that cafe culture is very popular here.
Like the Roundabout Cafe, Handsome Cafe, Luoque Cafe, Kaipai Cafe, Fashionable Cafe, Wangwang Cafe, etc.
Well-dressed upper-class people hang out in these cafes, sitting by the window drinking a cup of coffee and reading an old-fashioned newspaper.
"Ah, geez..." Gulerton has never seen such a prosperous metropolis before. Compared with this place, Zhiqin Town is simply a backward rural town!
Naoki noticed the promotional photos of Karuni's movie printed on the billboard.
Karuni, the champion of the Kalos region, is also a very famous female star.
But because she can't beat Ash Ketchum in the anime, she can't beat Fire King in the comics, and she's even pushed by players in the game, which also leads to Karuni being nicknamed the "weakest champion" among the players.
"I don't know how strong Karuni is in this world."
Naoki was very curious, but unfortunately he didn't come here today to explore Karuni's strength.
Moving forward along Qiuri Avenue, Zhi Shu soon found No. 203 on the forum on the left side of the cobblestone street.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door. Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps inside the door. Then, the door was opened, and a dark-skinned, rough-faced uncle wearing a mountaineering suit came out in front of Naoki.
There is no doubt that this is the "Mountain Man" who provides stone betting services on the forum.
Naoki simply expressed his intention to the other party, and then was welcomed into the house by the other party.
Shan Nan: "Please come in! You should be the guest from the Padia area, right?"
Naoki had briefly communicated with the other party online before, telling him that he would be visiting this morning, so Yamao guessed it right away.
"It's me." Naoki nodded slightly.
Shan Nan couldn't help but cast his eyes on Gu Ledun and praised: "Look at that handsome figure and that domineering look, he is really a beautiful guy!"
"Ah geez!" Therefore, Luton could understand that the human in front of him was praising himself, and it immediately became very proud.
Naoki: "..."
Yamao then laughed loudly: "What an interesting Pokémon. Come with me and I will take you to see the rocks. Oh, by the way, there is a customer there who is choosing, so you two have to wait a moment."
"Okay, it doesn't matter." Naoki nodded.
He took Gu Ledun and followed Shan Nan to his stone collection room. A young man wearing a knitted sweater was standing in front of a display cabinet selecting his favorite stones.
Naoki looked around. The layout here was exactly the same as in the picture. The cabinets on the four walls were filled with various stones.
However, it is impossible to identify the type of stone with the naked eye.
Just because each stone is either covered with a layer of brown soil or wrapped in rock fragments, although part of it is exposed, there is no way to tell what is inside.
At this moment, the man was pacing back and forth on the counter. After a while, he stopped in front of a stone and said, "This is it! Mr. Yamao, I want to buy this!"
"Are you sure?" Shan Nan asked.
"That's right! This must be the Koga Ninja Super Stone I want!" The man was full of confidence.
With that said, he paid the money and took the stone to the Bratano Institute for identification.
Before the other party left, Naoki glanced at him, and the information about the stone emerged from his mind.
[Fin Fossil: The fossil of an ancient Pokémon that lived on the ground a long time ago seems to be part of the head fin. If you give it to some fossil research institutions, you can get the ancient Pokémon "Ice Dragon". 】
Seeing this, Naoki secretly thought it was a pity, but compared to returning empty-handed, the fin fossils were a good harvest.
Because the long-extinct ice and snow dragon is also a very rare existence in modern times.
"It's your turn!" Shan Nan said with a smile: "These stones are all collected when I have been climbing mountains for more than 20 years. Those caves in the mountains, underground tunnels dug by gophers, and places where big rock snakes pass by can often be found. See these stones."
"I don't know if there are Pokémon evolution stones in it. One stone costs 40,000 alliance coins. What you get depends on your luck!"
Naoki nodded, then came to the display cabinet, and scanned the stones carefully in order.
Therefore, Luton felt dazzled when he looked at so many stones in front of him.
"Ah, gah..."
The golden finger was activated, and the information of those stones popped out one by one.
[Stone fragments: Food for some Pokémon. ]
[Rare earth ore: Ore composed of soil buried deep underground, the favorite food of Kira. ]
[Sand rock: General prop, rock containing the power of sand, can enhance the power of sandstorm, if the Pokémon carrying it uses sandstorm, the sandstorm will last longer than usual. ]
"No." Naoki's eyes swept over, but he didn't find any super evolution stone, but more of some rare soil and ore, the kind that most rock Pokémon use as food.
Naoki continued to look down, and soon, one of the stones attracted his attention.
[Mysterious crystal: Important item, a crystal ball dug out from the ground. Although the surface is covered with rocks and dust, it is very beautiful. ]
This is... Naoki was slightly stunned.
He remembered this stone. In the game, players can use it to exchange drops of heart with Daigo.
"I want this." Naoki picked up the mysterious crystal.
"Okay!" Shan Nan was very happy. In this way, he got another 40,000 alliance coins: "Do you want to continue?"
Naoki nodded.
Seeing this, Shan Nan was very happy. This is a big customer! He is going to make a fortune!
Naoki continued to search on the display cabinet.
In addition to those ordinary stones, there are also many evolution stones on it, such as Sun Stone, Water Stone, etc.
Naoki did not buy these stones, because it is not worth spending 40,000 yuan to buy them, not to mention that there are many in the ranch, all picked up by the baby bear from outside.
In addition, there are some fossils here, but Naoki is not very interested in fossils, so he did not buy those fossils.
With Naoki's unremitting efforts, after checking rows of display cabinets, he finally found a piece of what he wanted.
[Qixi Bluebird Evolution Stone: A magical super stone that can be super-evolved in battle after being carried by Qixi Bluebird. 】
Found it!
Although it was a super stone of Tanabata Bluebird, it was a very good start for Naoki.
He bought it immediately and then accelerated the search.
"Fire Stone, pass, Hard Stone, pass, Common Stone, pass...Horse Evolution Stone, eh? Another one?!"
Naoki picked up the stone.
[Horse Evolution Stone: A magical stone that can be used to super evolve in battle after Horse carries it. 】
"Do you want to buy it?" Shan Nan asked with a smile, as if he saw 40,000 Alliance Coins waving at him.
He used to like to bring back some spoils when he climbed mountains, but he didn't expect that these spoils today could make him a rich man!
Shan Nan was very excited. He was not interested in super evolution. After all, he was not a trainer. In comparison, money can do more things.
Naoki nodded and took the Horse Evolution Stone.
Shan Nan seemed to realize that the person in front of him was a big customer. He specially found a box to follow behind him, specifically for stones.
In an hour, Naoki swept all of Shannan's collection rooms and harvested a total of Mysterious Crystal x1, Houndoom Evolution Stone x1, Tanabata Bluebird Evolution Stone x1, Beedrill Evolution Stone x1, Lizard King Evolution Stone x1, Metagross Evolution Stone x1, Venusaur Evolution Stone x1, Banjira Evolution Stone x1, and Almost Doll Evolution Stone x1.
After sweeping the last collection room, Naoki packed the stones with satisfaction.
There were nine stones in total, and he spent a total of 360,000 Alliance Coins.
Shannan looked like he had made a fortune. He didn't expect that the stones he picked up casually could really be sold for so much money!
And Naoki also looked like he had made a fortune. In this way, even if he and Qishu didn't use them, they could be left for Xiaoshu to use when Xiaoshu grew up!
"Then welcome to visit next time!" Shannan said happily.
"If you pick up new stones again, remember to contact me." Naoki gave his contact information to the other party.
"No problem, no problem!" Shannan was very happy.
"Then let's say goodbye." Naoki smiled slightly, then put on the backpack with the evolution stone and came to the front door.
He stretched out his hand to open the door, but when the door opened, a familiar face suddenly came into view.
The man had silver hair and a handsome face, and his raised hand was suspended in the air.
That was... Daigo?
Naoki was stunned, and Daigo was also stunned.
After a long while, he said, "Mr. Naoki?"
Naoki quickly came back to his senses and greeted him with a smile, "Long time no see, Daigo."
Five minutes later, in the Youyoule Cafe on Autumn Avenue, Naoki and Daigo sat by the window and ordered two cups of coffee and a plate of Pokémon snacks.
Gulerton squatted next to him and ate snacks happily.
"Why is Mr. Naoki in Miare City?" Daigo asked.
"Mega evolution was officially released recently, and I thought maybe my Pokémon could also mega evolve, so I came here to see if I could buy some Pokémon evolution stones." Naoki asked, "What about you, Daigo?"
"To be honest, me too." Daigo said.
He saw a post about stones on the Internet yesterday. He wanted to come and see if there were any rare stones and look for mega evolution stones. Unexpectedly, he met Naoki here.
"Mr. Naoki, have you found mega stones that can make Pokémon evolve?" Daigo asked.
"I found some, but I don't know if my Pokémon can use them. But then again, Daigo, your Metagross should also be able to mega evolve, right?" Naoki said.
"That's right." Daigo nodded. In fact, as soon as the mega evolution was announced, he conducted an investigation in his stone collection and found the Metagross evolution stone and key stone in it, and then mega evolved it immediately.
"You can go to Dr. Bratano's research institute for identification. Dr. Bratano will determine which Pokémon corresponds to the energy wavelength in the evolution stone." Daigo said.
"Thank you very much." Although Naoki knew it, he still thanked Daigo for his kind reminder.
Daigo continued, "In addition to the evolution stone of Pokémon, mega evolution also requires the trainer to carry a key stone. Does Mr. Naoki have a key stone?"
"No." He didn't find the key stone from Yamao just now.
Hearing this, Daigo couldn't help but smile.
He took out a bracelet from his waist. He originally wanted to share it with his friends, but since he met Mr. Naoki here, he would give this key stone bracelet to Mr. Naoki!
Naoki was slightly stunned, and he cast his eyes on the bracelet inlaid with colorful stones.
[Super bracelet: A bracelet inlaid with key stones can resonate with the mega stones carried by Pokémon, allowing Pokémon to mega evolve. 】
"This is a key stone bracelet. With it, plus the corresponding mega stone, Pokémon can mega evolve." Daigo explained elegantly: "Please accept it, just as a thank you gift for that matter."
Three years ago, it was Mr. Naoki who helped them solve the disaster brought by Groudon and Kyogre, and restored peace to the Hoenn region.
Naoki did need the key stone, but he couldn't take Daigo's things for nothing.
After a little thought, Naoki asked, "Has your Metagross found the evolution stone?"
Daigo nodded gently.
In that case...
Naoki thought of the mysterious crystal he had just bought from Yamano.
The moment he took the mysterious crystal out of his bag, Daigo's eyes were immediately attracted to it.
That look was the look of seeing a beloved thing.
Seeing this scene, Naoki smiled and said, "Then I will use this stone to exchange with you, Daigo!"
Facing such a beautiful stone, Daigo couldn't say no at all.
Looking at the expression on Daigo's face, Naoki couldn't help laughing. He accepted the key stone bracelet and pushed the mysterious crystal in front of Daigo.
"It's getting late. I have to go back to the ranch." Naoki glanced at the time, then stood up and said goodbye to Daigo: "If you have time in the future, you can come to the ranch as a guest. My wife and I will definitely treat you well. Gulerton, go home."
"Ah, gah!"
Gulerton stood up quickly and moved his body like a big dog shaking off water.
"Well, see you later." Naoki looked at Daigo.
Daigo finally reacted. He nodded slightly, a smile appeared on his handsome face, and nodded seriously: "Well, I will definitely visit you two."
