A person abandoned by the Pokémon world
Chapter 300: Fate to Zhu City
Yuanzhu City is quite lively today. Big red lanterns are hung on the streets and vendors can be seen everywhere. It seems that some event is being held here.
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Let's put the gym challenge aside for now and just have some fun."
Bai An smiled slightly at this, and asked Zoroya to change into his own appearance and join the lively crowd.
"Tou Hu! Tou Hu! If you hit twenty arrows, you can take the shuttlecock grass home~"
"Blow up the balloons! Let's blow up the balloons together. Pop 56 balloons and bring a Jigglypuff back to the child!"
"Catch the goldfish. If you catch enough goldfish, you can exchange them for the rare Pokémon Lanternfish!!"
"So that's why the Alliance and the noble families are here to harvest talents again." Bai An understood after hearing the shouts of Pokémon being the prizes from the surrounding shops.
Normal vendors can't get this kind of Pokémon, especially the Lantern Fish, which is a Pokémon that lives in the deep sea and is rarely seen in diving areas.
These vendors are all from aristocratic families or alliances, and these Pokémon are all their choices, leaving behind Pokémon with poor qualifications or even some defects.
After sending Pokémon out through the game, someone will keep an eye on these people, and if someone really stands out, they will try to recruit them.
Even if they fail, they won't suffer any loss, and they can also clean up the "garbage" left over from the family's eating.
However, this kind of game can only be played during some traditional festivals. Bai An was a little curious. He remembered that today was not a traditional festival?
When Bai An was thinking about what traditional festival today was, he heard a familiar hawker call:
"Magikarp, the Magikarp that lays golden eggs!"
Bai An simply stopped thinking about it. It had nothing to do with him anyway. He looked up and was about to look at his old acquaintance.
It would be strange if he wasn't here in such a lively place.
However, Bai An was greatly disappointed because the person who bought the Magikarp that laid golden eggs was not the uncle Magikarp he had imagined.
It was a young guy who seemed a little nervous. He would slow down after shouting a few times, as if he was preparing himself mentally.
He would look around from time to time, but the key point was that he didn't have the shifty look of a thief.
Bai An felt like a domineering president begging on the street.
"Plain clothes?"
Bai An murmured with interest and just stood there watching. He wanted to see what would happen next.
Bai An didn't leave, and Soraya, who had transformed into Bai An, didn't move either. He just stared at Bai An like Bai An did.
Perhaps he felt that it was a bit unreasonable for Magikarp to not react when being stared at like this, so he raised his hand with great willpower and said to Zoroark in a very low voice: "Do you want to buy the Magikarp that laid the golden egg?"
The voice was so small that it was drowned out by the numerous hawking sounds.
Bai An couldn't help but chuckle and waved to Soraya to leave: "Let's go Soraya, let's not disturb others at work."
"Let's go to the Pokémon Center first. I don't know how many days it will be held. Go ask Miss Joy and arrange a time. You guys can take turns to come out and play with me.
After all, it’s a city and we can’t let you all out at once.”
"Woo~"
Zoroark nodded, and he saw the Pokémon Center standing not far away, and motioned Bai An to look over there.
"Let's go. I didn't expect we'd already reached the Pokémon Center."
----
"well?
There are no more empty rooms?"
Bai An was a little surprised. It was the first time he encountered such a situation.
The rooms in the Pokémon Center are not single rooms, they are usually quad rooms.
But usually Bai An treated it as a single room because there were not many people living there, so one person lived in a four-person room.
But now, Bai An was told by Miss Joy that there were no vacant rooms in the Pokémon Center.
“Yes, because this is the last harvest celebration.
Since the celebration started three days ago, many trainers have flocked to the place and it’s full.”
Miss Joy could not hide her tiredness. The large number of guests made her overwhelmed. She was very exhausted these two days.
Bai An noticed Miss Joy's fatigue and asked one last question: "Ms Joy, can you tell me about a nearby hotel?"
"This is a map of Yuanzhu City. Hotels and houses are marked, but there's a high chance they're all fully booked. You can try your luck.
Or you can just wrap yourself in a sleeping bag and rest in the lobby of the Pokémon Center like they do, as long as you don’t disturb others.”
Miss Joy took out a map and handed it to Soraya with ease.
"Thank you."
Bai An took the map and looked at Miss Joy in surprise: "Did Miss Joy mark all these locations herself?"
"Hey, Jigglypuff also has help."
"Thank you very much."
Bai An said this very seriously, because there was a thick stack of maps like this behind the counter.
Bai An didn't ask why he didn't make a copy but instead spent the effort to mark it himself.
There's no need to do that. This is someone else's kindness. Just accept it and say thank you. If you really say that, the other person might be embarrassed.
“Let me see, while I find a place to stay, I’ll let you take turns to come out and hang out, starting with you!
Morbek and Snorlax!"
These two Pokémon are not very big in size. Bai An released them here because there is a snack shop nearby and he thought they would definitely like them.
"Let's go. Remember to tell me if there's anything you want to eat. You can't just go in and eat it."
Bai An emphasized the second half of the sentence to Morubeko.
"Mobei~Mobei~"
Morubeko called out twice shyly, as if what Bai An said was not a warning but a compliment.
The snacks here are made with authentic ingredients, especially authentic ones.
Although Slowpoke's tail was not cut off freshly, it is still Slowpoke's tail.
The octopus balls are made from the tentacles of an octopus barrel.
The golden fish scales are made from Magikarp scales, and the egg liquid coating them is from Jigglypuff eggs.
There are also spicy crab claws, which are made with the claws of giant crabs.
The juice is made from the saliva of the stinky flower.
There are also roasted vines that are used on vine monsters.
The fried melon seeds are just spit out by the sunflower monster.
The ginger milk is made with Moo Moo milk from Big Milk Can.
There were also black things similar to pearls for sale. Bai An went up to ask and found out that they were things from the antlers of a sika deer, and they were used as medicine to treat insomnia.
However, after special processing, its medicinal value is greatly reduced, but it becomes chewy and bouncy, and is very popular among young people.
There are also volcano skewers. Bai An didn’t understand it at first until he saw the lava worms in the oven.
Lava worms, with bodies made of lava, are truly worthy of their name, volcanic kebabs.
Bai An was really eye-opening. Even with the memories of his previous life, Bai An didn't know many Pokémon that could be eaten.
After visiting these snack stalls, Bai An learned something new. All of the above Pokémon are edible, and the edible parts are consumables and renewable for the corresponding Pokémon.
The word "greasy" is not an adjective, but a descriptive word, literally meaning "greasy".
Snorlax was better, but he was reluctant to leave the Volcano Kebabs because he really liked the taste.
Not to mention Snorlax, Bai An also likes it very much. The skewers grilled with lava worms, coupled with the store manager's secret seasoning, are simply amazing.
"We'll come back later and buy some for you then."
"Gambi!"
Snorlax nodded.
“Okay, you guys come back first, we’ve already walked past the snack stand, and the next part seems to be a dance performance.
Let Master Itachi see this.
Water sleeves and dancing go best together.”
The dance performance that Bai An mentioned came from Yuanzhu Dance Theater.
Probably because it was a harvest celebration, they set up a stage in front of the dance hall.
Five girls were dancing on the stage. In addition to the girls, there were also Flareon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Solebee, and Umbreon on the stage.
This is a joint performance by humans and Pokémon. Perhaps this kind of performance is the prototype of the Pokémon Contest in this world.
"How is it, beautiful?"
Bai An asked, leaning against his master Itachi.
"Wo~"
Master Itachi nodded, and he also found inspiration in the dance steps of those girls.
Machado also poked his head out from the shadows. He always felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, as if someone had rehearsed such a dance a long time ago to please him.
The dance only lasted for a short while, and Bai An was about to leave after the performance, but unexpectedly someone on the stage said something that stopped Bai An.
“Everyone, the five of us sisters, plus the trainer Songye from the Yuanzhu Gym, will be waiting for you here tonight.
The six of us will select six trainers from the crowd to battle, and regardless of whether we win or lose, we will give them the Phantom Badge of the Yuzu Gym.
If you beat us, you will also be eligible to go to the Bell Tower to observe the sacrifice up close."
"It looks like I'll have to come back again tonight. If I'm lucky, I can get the badge while playing around. Why not?"
I took a quick look at the feedback from the modifier and found that the levels of the five Pokémon were all 17, and they only knew very few skills.
Maybe all her energy was focused on dancing, so her strength is pitifully weak.
"Let's go find a place to stay first. How about I leave the battle tonight to you?"
"Wo~"
"Hey, Master Itachi, don't get me wrong. I'm talking about handing over Zoroark."
Master Itachi was speechless. Why did Zoroark say anything to him? However, looking at the smirk of his own trainer, he knew that he was teasing him again.
"Wo~"
Master Itachi turned and left, which meant "boring".
Zoroark stuck out his tongue at his master Itachi, expressing his disdain for him. He said it was boring, but he was so happy in his heart that he could hardly suppress the smile on his face.
----
"Sorry, we are full."
Bai An felt helpless. This was the last one, but it was still full.
"Hey, isn't this Bai An?"
When Bai An was about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
"Xiao Mao!?"
"You came to Yuanzhu City without booking a place to stay in advance, right?
Now you have nowhere to go and have to sleep on the streets?"
Bai An always felt that Xiao Mao's tone was a bit annoying, but he still spoke patiently: "I didn't expect there would be an event in Yuanzhu City."
"Is that so? Then I will be merciful and let you stay with me tonight."
Bai An kept comforting himself in his heart that he was an adult and should not argue with a child.
At the same time, Bai An was a little confused. Didn’t Xiao Mao behave very maturely before?
Why are you so childish now?
Bai An didn’t know that maturity is shown to family and strangers, while childishness is shown to friends.
It's like a college student's dormitory, as childish and outrageous as it can be.
Xiao Mao treats Bai An as a friend, a friend like Xiao Zhi.
Adhering to the principle of not staying there for nothing, Bai An followed Xiao Mao into his room.
"Let's eat together?"
Xiao Mao invited.
As expected of the young master of the Oki family, he has many exquisite things.
"Then I won't be polite to you."
Bai An took the chopsticks. He had only eaten some grilled skewers at the snack street and was quite hungry.
"Hey, why are you being polite to me?
Do you want to participate in this Silver Conference?"
"Well, someone asked me to eliminate someone."
Bai An swallowed the fish fillet in his mouth and nodded.
"Who is worthy of your efforts? No, who is worthy of your orders?
You are the young master of a hypermarket, right? "
“A friend.
I don't know him, but he's a trainer with a stinky mud. I'll know it when I see him.
And you?
Do you plan to get to know the Silver Conference?"
“Well, I’m going to be a researcher after this time.
By the way, did you know that this Silver Conference is another gambling game? "
"Yeah, I've heard of it."
"This time the gamble is really big. If we lose, the Chengdu region will be directly removed from the map. From now on, Guandong and Chengdu will be combined into one and called the Guandu region.
Tsk, what a gamble."
"Don't talk about this, it's none of our business.
Let’s talk about you and Xiaozhi.
Xiaozhi has always regarded you as a strong rival. Now that you have withdrawn from the field of trainer, Xiaozhi will question you, right?
Have you thought about what to say?"
Bai An put down his chopsticks and looked directly into Xiao Mao's eyes.
When Xiaozhi was mentioned, Xiaomao became a little unnatural and stuttered:
“What’s there to explain?
Xiaozhi, who is a thick-skinned person, will definitely not care. "
Bai An looked at Xiao Mao with interest for a while. When Xiao Mao was about to get angry, Bai An decisively changed the subject: "By the way, have you obtained the Phantom Badge?"
Xiao Mao breathed a sigh of relief.
“No, because of the harvest festival, Yuanzhu Dojo is temporarily closed.
Otherwise, I would have continued my journey long ago, and Yuan Zhu Dojo would only open after the harvest festival is over the day after tomorrow."
"That's great, come with me tonight and try your luck.
......"
Bai An told about the activities at Yuanzhu Dance Hall tonight.
"Tsk, are you sure you can choose us among so many people...
Yes, you have a very strong Psychic Pokémon in your hand, you want to..."
Xiao Mao's laughter had some malicious intent.
"What are you thinking about? Juanlianyun went out to do some work and hasn't come back yet.
Just try your luck.
If you are lucky, you can get the badge right away. If you are unlucky, it doesn’t matter. It’s nice to have fun here for a few days and have fun for a few days.”
Bai An shrugged and said.
"That's right. After all, it's the final harvest celebration."
Xiao Mao continued.
"What does the last harvest celebration mean? I remember Miss Joy said the same thing."
