A person abandoned by the Pokémon world

A black market located underground in the wilderness of Sanyao City. The goods here come from all over the world. There are sellers and buyers. Although not everything is available, there are still many types of goods.

The seller's identity can be roughly guessed by the cloak he wears, the items he sells, and the things around him.

Their cloaks were worn and even had some patches, and their stalls were filled with small items like fruits and medicinal herbs, which meant they were from poor families who came here to sell some things to supplement their family income.

This kind of people often come here at great risk, after all, more than half of the guests here are Pokémon hunters.

Due to the rules of the black market, Pokémon hunters cannot do things like robbing openly, but they can still let Pokémon release their aura and lower the price.

For various reasons, their personal safety cannot be guaranteed here.

As long as the family has enough money for daily expenses, or can provide a trainer, they will not choose to set up a stall in the black market.

The other type of sellers cannot reveal anything from their cloaks, but the Pokémon following them and the Pokémon in cages on their stalls all reveal their identities.

"Pokémon Hunter!"

Some hunters who are not in a hurry to sell the Pokémon they snatched will choose to set up stalls here. In addition to Pokémon, their products also include Poké Balls and various props.

The price of Poké Balls is cheaper than on the market because they are stolen goods, and people who know the business will not choose to buy Poké Balls from here.

Because no one knows whether the original owner of this Poké Ball did anything. If not, it would be fine, but if so, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The alliance turned a blind eye to the existence of the black market.

Although it is somewhat despicable, the existence of the black market has indeed given rise to many excellent trainers in the league.

Many trainers' high-quality Pokémon come from the black market.

If those trainers of ordinary backgrounds want a Pokémon of their dreams.

When they have enough money, their first choice is the black market.

Some producers even choose to sell their products on the black market because the prices there are higher.

Of course, it is hard to say whether the product is of good quality or authentic.

Jiuzhi once had the idea of ​​buying a Pokémon on the black market.

However, this idea was nipped in the bud by the doctor before it could be implemented.

He thought that he would never have the chance to go to the black market in his lifetime, but life is unpredictable.

It's really unpredictable. He came to the black market and might even be here to cause trouble.

To be honest, he was panicked.

"Bai An, aren't you nervous?"

"Rather than being nervous, I'm more concerned about why the doctor would trust me with this kind of thing. Can't those researchers handle it?"

"You know, my body now is that of a ten-year-old child." Li Ang did not say the rest of this sentence.

"You must be joking. You're a trainer. If not you, who else should I give it to?"

The matter-of-fact tone made Li An realize the difference between this world and his previous life.

Age is never the deciding factor in how events can be handled here.

But it’s about identity, whether you are a trainer.

Because he is a trainer, the professor entrusted this matter to him.

And because those researchers are not trainers, even though they have strong combat power, they seem to regard themselves as ordinary unarmed people.

This way of doing things is really strange for Ang Lee.

The doctor's commission was thanks to the bald man that Li An caught.

Baldy is a Pokémon hunter because a researcher takes the goldfish out to bask in the sun every day.

It was just such a coincidence that the unfamiliar Pokémon caught the bald man's attention.

After learning through the grapevine that the underground water vein cave was blocked, he realized that things were not simple.

As the saying goes, the timid will die of starvation, while the bold will die of gluttony. He plans to do something about it.

He used his digging skills to sneak into the underground water vein cave through the blind spot of the sentinel rat.

Unfortunately, I was unlucky and met Ang Lee.

However, he is not the only Pokémon hunter who digs holes to dive into underground water veins.

He also had an accomplice. That guy was very lucky. Not only did he not meet anyone, he also took away two big-mouthed babies.

He was experienced enough that he eliminated all the positioning devices installed on the Big Mouth Baby.

If Baldy hadn't been caught by Ang Lee and hadn't turned himself in, Big Mouth would have probably found a buyer and the Doctor and the others wouldn't have noticed.

Going to the black market to retrieve Big Mouth Baby is the important task that the doctor entrusted to Ang Lee.

Li An set off with the attitude that since he had taken away someone else's Morubeko, it was nothing wrong to help.

What Li An didn't expect was that the doctor also asked Jiuzhi to come along, under the pretext of letting him broaden his horizons. After all, Jiuzhi was also an apprentice trainer.

Li An didn't know what others thought, but when Jiuzhi heard the doctor call him an apprentice trainer, he happily let out a monkey cry.

Just when Li An was about to enter the black market, he realized that his current age led to the scene above.

The black market in Li An's impression was full of mystery, and even entering the door required a secret code, but...

"Come in quickly!"

Jiuzhi went in and didn't see Li Ang for a long time, so he came out of the dog hole and greeted him.

Yes, the entrance to this black market is a dog hole.

To be honest, Li An was very reluctant: "Is there no other entrance?"

Li An's face turned a little dark. The fact that "the black market is a dog hole" made Li An ignore the fact that Jiuzhi was clearly here for the first time, but she was very familiar with the place.

Even if you are reluctant, you still have to drill.

Li An came to the black market through a narrow dog hole. It was called a black market, but it was actually an underground street. There were stalls on both sides of the street, and there was a store at the end of the street.

The entire black market depends on this store.

The sellers in the black market are not enthusiastic. Even if someone stops in front of their stalls, they will not greet them warmly. They don’t say a word and don’t look like businessmen at all.

If it was a black market in other regions, Li An would definitely take a look around with great interest, hoping to find some treasures.

But the Unova region...

It’s not that he looks down on the Unova region, but the props in his modifier are too complete.

Ang Lee's modifier covers almost all the items in the Pokémon world, except for Key Stones and Mega Evolution Stones.

It is well known that the Unova region is the most tragic region, where neither the quasi-gods nor the Big Three can mega evolve.

It's not like the Alola and Galar regions have their own unique Z-moves and Gigantamax forms respectively.

It is a veritable "three-no" area.

The two of them just took a quick look at the stalls on both sides, and there was no sign of Big Mouth Wa.

The two of them turned their attention to the shop at the end, which was a Pokémon store.

There was no one else in the shop except the middle-aged man with a big belly.

From the perspective of the pot-bellied man, Jiuzhi was the only one who entered the store, after all, not everyone could see Li Ang.

"Welcome, do you need anything?"

The middle-aged man's words were somewhat listless. He thought he knew countless people, and in his opinion, Jiuzhi was not a big client. He had no interest in that kind of insignificant small business.

"I'll take a look myself, boss, don't worry about me."

After hearing what Jiuzhi said, the boss said inwardly, "As expected." He has seen many people like this who have no goals. They are usually people who have a dream of becoming a trainer.

He tried his best to collect the money and buy a Pokémon that was within his budget.

As for the type, it is insignificant given their limited funds.

Although he didn't find Sasuke after looking around, Li Ang changed his mind about this place. At least the Pokémon that were used as commodities seemed to be living well.

"Boss, don't you have Pokémon from other regions?"

Jiuzhi walked to the counter and knocked on the table to remind the sleepy boss.

"I'm not looking down on you, kid. I believe you've seen the price I'm bidding. The worst Pokémon from other regions are several times more expensive than the most expensive one."

The boss put his hands in his pockets, and his eyes looked narrowed but with a gleam of light in them.

"Could it be that we have made a mistake? Is this guy a wealthy man?"

The boss grumbled in his heart.

"Don't worry, boss. I just completed a commission from the largest business owner in the Unova region. I'm not short of money."

Jiuzhi lied without blinking.

"We underestimated you, come with us!"

The boss put up a sign saying "Closed for Business" and closed the door. Then he pressed some switch and a secret door opened. He waved for Jiuzhi to follow him.

"Such a young Pokémon hunter, let's wait and see whether we should invest in him." The boss was making his own calculations in his mind.

The secret door led to the bottom of the shop, where there was a large space. As soon as they stepped in, a proud pheasant rushed towards them.

There are several sharp spikes following the proud pheasant, which is the missile needle skill.

The proud pheasant was in a very bad condition, with scars of various sizes all over his body. The missile needle hit him, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the ground while flying.

However, it was precisely because of this stumble that he changed his original flight trajectory. Otherwise, according to the original flight trajectory, he would have collided with Li Ang and the other two.

"Do you still want to work here? What if you hurt my important customers?" the boss roared.

"Sorry Boss, I'll take him away right now!"

"Missile needle!"

The man commanded a sand bell cactus and used the Missile Needle skill to drive away the proud pheasant, and soon left here.

"What's going on?" Jiuzhi asked curiously.

"It's just an untamed proud pheasant. We don't sell untamed Pokémon here, so customers should not think of taking it."

"Okay, don't worry about that. I'll take you to see those tamed Pokémon, all from other regions." The boss led the way with a smile.

Along the way, they saw many Pokémon similar to the Proud Pheasant.

After seeing it so many times, they understood what the so-called taming was without much explanation.

It means using skills with poor effects to hit Pokémon.

Although the ineffective skills cause little damage to them, the pain is real.

Here you can see rock-type Pokémon being burned by fire, grass-type Pokémon being shot by water guns...

The screams of the Pokémon made Li Ang feel like he was in hell, but the boss seemed to enjoy it and continued to introduce them to Jiuzhi tirelessly.

Using pain to force Pokémon to surrender is a very cruel method. Li An wanted to rescue them several times, but was stopped by Jiuzhi calmly.

"It's not the right time yet. Let's find the big mouth kid first and then we can fight them!"

While the boss wasn't paying attention, Jiuzhi quietly comforted Li An. He always remembered the purpose of his visit and was not disturbed by external things.

Compared to Ang Lee, Jiuzhi is a more thorough egoist.

He didn't quite understand why Li Ang was so angry when it wasn't his Pokémon.
