A person abandoned by the Pokémon world

Chapter 249 Water Town

Huipi Town, or to be more precise, the former Huipi Town.

The only thing that makes Hinoki Town fit in with its name is its name; it is literally a city on the water.

For a moment, Bai An thought he had arrived at the place in the drama version of the Shuidu sisters.

Why would Bai An come here?

Because Celebi said he was a little confused, and traveling through time and space might cause some problems, so he needed to take a break.

Bai An didn't care about it. He was not in a hurry to go back. It was the same no matter where you traveled.

So they came here, the tourist destination chosen by Jirachi.

In Jirachi's words, it's a rare opportunity to wake up, so you have to at least have some fun before going back. Anyway, the energy has been consumed, and it would be a big loss if you don't have some fun.

"Bad guy! I want to eat that!"

Before entering the Hinoki Town, Jirachi pointed at the candy seller on the roadside.

"Boss, how much is this?"

Bai An was satisfied and he took a group of Pokémon and went there in a grand manner as if he was committing a robbery.

After all, shopping is about having fun together, so the Pokémon that Bai An currently carries with him are all present.

"Nine copper coins a string, how many strings do you want?"

The boss was also very panicked. He thought he was being robbed. After all, in the future, there would be few people who would bring a group of Pokémon to buy things, let alone now.

Fortunately, Bai An didn't sound like a robber when he spoke, which made the boss smile. He felt that big business was coming.

Bai An was stunned when he heard the word "copper coin" because he didn't have the money of that era.

"Boss, do we support bartering here?"

The boss' smile froze. The current timeline was that the alliance had not yet been established, and the people from the aristocratic families issued copper coins in order to establish their dominant position.

In order to make copper coins more valuable, the major families exerted their efforts, and the barter method had long been replaced.

"I'll give you a few skewers for free."

The boss's smile was uglier than his crying. Anyone who could carry so many Pokémon in later generations was not a simple person, let alone now.

The boss felt that he couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he wanted to sell the product well.

His wrists flew, and he sprinkled some salt on the simple long strips of food and baked them over the fire in just half a minute.

"Here, take it."

"Is that all?"

Bai An was a little surprised. This was too fast. Is this thing really cooked?

“Is this your first time in Hinoki Town?

This is a specialty of our area. The meat is very tender. We can eat it raw, but most outsiders can't stand it.

It just takes a while to heat up, and it cooks easily.”

The boss explained.

"Oh, I see. They smell quite nice." Bai An distributed the skewers to the Pokémon. At the end, Bai An still had one string left in his hand, and the unknown totem on its head did not get a share.

After all, the boss didn’t know that the unknown totem on Bai An’s head was also a Pokémon.

"It's okay, let's have one skewer each. I can't finish it myself."

Bai An soothed the unknown totem on his head, took a bite, and handed the skewer to the unknown totem.

Bai An didn't seem to notice the boss's expression as if he had seen a ghost, and commented calmly:

“It’s delicious, with a sweet taste.

The little bit of salt sprinkled is simply a stroke of genius, which makes the taste more enriched.

The boss is very skilled.”

"You're kidding. The ingredients are good. Slowpoke's tail will be the same no matter who cooks it."

The boss smiled innocently.

"Slowpokemon...

's tail! ?"

Bai An's plan to eat another skewer disappeared in an instant.

"Yes, Slowpoke's tail. Hinoki Town is a water town with many Slowpokes. Slowpoke's tail is our local specialty.

If we really want to talk about good cooking skills, the ones in the restaurants in this town are second to none.”

As the boss spoke, he took out a Slowpoke's tail, which looked familiar to Bai An.

Soon, with the boss's display of knife skills, Slowpoke's tail turned into another familiar shape, such as the skewers in the hands of a group of Pokémon.

"It's okay, it's okay. Slowpoke's tail can be taken out."

Bai An comforted himself in his heart.

"Boss, what's the price of the fruit here?"

"Tree fruit?

Three copper coins per pound, that thing is useless and is usually fed to Slowpokes to make their tails regenerate faster."

Bai An paused as he reached into his bag to take out the fruit. He wondered, "Are fruit so worthless these days?"

Of course it is not valuable. If it were valuable, how could those people from wealthy families buy the fruits with various functions at the "super high price" of ten copper coins per pound.

"What about the Fire Stone?"

Bai An saw the stone that the boss used to lean against Slowpoke's tail and spoke with a twitch of his mouth.

"Fire Stone?

You mean Flint?

This thing is expensive, 30 copper coins each.

I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but a big part of the reason I baked for a short while was to save the energy of the flint."

"Is that so?" Bai An murmured and turned his back, letting the unknown totem A spit out some fire stones.

Turning around and facing the boss, Bai Anle said:

"Boss, do you accept flint?

It’s cheaper than the market price, just give me 20 copper coins for one piece of flint.”

"what?"

The boss was stunned, but when he saw the Fire Stone in Bai An's hand, he swallowed his saliva and asked, "Are you sure it's 20 copper coins a piece?"

Bai An nodded, and finally Bai An got 312 copper coins from the boss, which was his income from the past few days that had not been confiscated yet.

And the boss took a piece of fire stone from Bai An.

Yes, it is a piece. The flint used by the boss is not the fire stone, but a by-product of the fire stone mine.

Fire Stone is much more expensive than Flint. The boss said he was not greedy, but he was indeed greedy for the Fire Stone.

You could say he was greedy, as he gave all the money he had to Bai An, and even wanted to roast the remaining Slowpoke tails and give them to Bai An.

From the boss's behavior, Bai An knew that he had misunderstood and the boss had taken advantage, but Bai An didn't care.

Moreover, the boss's attitude made Bai An sigh: "This is such a simple person."

In other words, Bai An is rich and powerful. If it were someone else, they would definitely have to fight hard with the boss.

No, no one else would be able to exchange the Fire Stone for food.

After Bai An left, the boss packed up his stall and returned home like a ghost.

"Dad, why did you come back so early today?"

The man who was concentrating on taking care of a sapling in the yard was a little confused.

The boss nervously closed the door, came to his son and carefully took out the Fire Stone from his arms:

"Son, I have your tuition!

You can now learn the Poké Ball forging technique openly!"

The man was not happy but grabbed his boss's hand:

"dad!
