Pokémon: Forced to Become a Dragon Master at the Beginning

Bright lights shone on the center of the stage, and one rare auction item after another was pushed up.

These auction items cover a wide range, including highly qualified Pokémon or elf eggs, some rare props worth a fortune, and even young and beautiful women.

Because it is located in the border area, the annual auction is no less than a grand event for Heilong City. The four kings and even the champions of several nearby small countries will come here in disguise.

…………

"What should we do now?" Xia Yu sat on the sofa, turned his gaze to Qi Linyu and asked.

"It's very simple. Just wait." Qi Linyu also sat on the soft sofa, looking at the crowd, and took a deep breath: "After the auction, our five companies will immediately distribute dividends. If they want to force me to hand over my shares, they will definitely make trouble at that time."

"Okay." Xia Yu nodded and turned his gaze to the center of the stage.

The auctioneer on the stage was tall and wearing a red low-cut dress.

From Xia Yu's position, one can see her perfect figure at a glance.

At this moment, her voice was as sweet as an oriole, and she was explaining an auction item on the stage to everyone.

A Magikarp egg.

His aptitude is very good, reaching the quasi-king level, but unfortunately Xia Yu has no interest in him.

"Are you interested in these auction items?" Qi Linyu asked when he saw Xia Yu keeping his eyes on the auction items.

"Yeah." Xia Yu nodded without any hesitation: "I heard that the underground black market in Heilong City is the largest underground black market in the entire southwest region. I am also curious about what good things will be in this annual auction."

"It's just..." Xia Yu hesitated to speak. The auction had been going on for half an hour. Although there were some items that caught his eye, up to now there was not a single item that moved him.

"Are you disappointed with these auction items?" Qi Linyu looked at Xia Yu and asked.

Xia Yu nodded. From the current perspective, although these auction items can be considered quite good, they are obviously not as good as the annual auction of the largest underground black market in the southwest region.

"This is only the first half." Qi Linyu said with a smile: "The first half of the auction is open to ordinary people, and the quality of the auction items can only be said to be average. The second half is the real annual auction, and it will only be open to VIP customers in the box. The auction items at that time are truly rare."

"But if you want to buy it, I can help you bid." Qi Linyu took the initiative to show his kindness to Xia Yu: "As for the cost, our Qi family can advance it for you."

"Okay." Xia Yu nodded. He didn't expect there were so many tricks here. "Then I'll trouble you, Boss Qi."

…………

The auction continued. Just as Qi Linyu said, although the following auction items were also quite rare and precious, they still did not meet Xia Yu's expectations.

Soon the first half of the auction ended. With the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, the last item of the first half was sold, and then the organizer began to clear the venue.

The "ordinary people" sitting in the hall were asked to leave one by one by the staff of the underground black market.

Although they are ordinary people, they are almost all elite middle-class people, but there is still a certain gap between them and the top class.

When everyone in the hall was cleared out, the door of the auction hall slammed shut, announcing the official start of the second half of the auction.

Now almost all those who can stay are big bosses, and behind them is at least a powerful king-level trainer, or even one of the Four Heavenly Kings or Champions.

"Dear guests, the annual auction is now officially starting."

A staff member came up pushing a small box covered with a curtain.

From time to time, there were collision sounds and noises similar to the barking of a puppy coming from the box. It was obvious that there should be a living Pokémon in the box. Xia Yu also set his eyes on the box with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

What Pokémon will be the first item of the first auction in the second half?

"Dear guests, this is the first auction item of the second half. I believe this auction item will not disappoint you. Please take a look."

As the curtain on the box was pulled open, a fireball rat appeared in front of everyone.

Fireball rat?

Is this what they call an auction item that won’t disappoint?

Just as everyone was looking at the Fireball Rat carefully, Xia Yu suddenly stood up and stared at the Fireball Rat in the box.

Others couldn't see it, but Xia Yu used the system's ability to clearly see that the "fireball mouse" in front of him was actually a Zoroark!

Zoroa is a very rare Pokémon with the top characteristic "Illusion". It can transform into a human, Pokémon or even an object. It will only be transformed when attacked.

Its evolved form, Zoroark, is also quite capable in combat. It is a standard high-speed dual attacker with very good dual attack and speed, but its corresponding stamina and dual defense are quite poor.

Of course, Zoroark's combat ability is secondary, or most people don't care about Zoroark's combat ability, but instead pay more attention to its "illusion" characteristics.

Just like Xu Xiu has a quasi-king-level Zoroark in his hand. Although it can't play a big role in battle, the illusion feature has caused the Pokémon Association a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Zoroark has always been a Pokémon that many people want to capture, but the probability of encountering it in the wild is too low.

And even if they do meet one, it is difficult for most people to detect it.

At least Xia Yu had never met the Zoroark family, and this was his first time seeing a wild Zoroark.

Xia Yu saw that the Pokémon in front of him was Zoroark, but others could not see that the Pokémon in front of them was Zoroark.

Many people were already frowning, and were quite dissatisfied with the first item to be auctioned.

The auctioneer looked at this scene with a slight smile on his face. He walked gently to the box and pressed a button. With a flash of electric current, the "Fireball Rat" felt pain on his face and shed his disguise, revealing his true appearance.

"Dear guests, this is the first lot of our annual auction, the Quasi-King-level Zoroark!"

"Everyone knows about Pokémon like Zoroark, so I won't go into details. The starting price is 0, and each bid must be no less than 50. The auction begins now!"

As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, someone immediately made a bid.

"1000 million!"

These people also know that a Zoroark with quasi-king-level qualifications can not only play a certain disruptive role in king-level Pokémon battles, but can also play an extremely crucial role in real life-and-death struggles.

Besides, Pokémon like Zoroark are extremely rare, and you can't buy them normally even if you want to. Now that I finally come across one, how can I let it go easily?

Not to mention others, even Xia Yu was excited when he saw this Zoroark. It was just a pity that it would be better if the qualifications of this Zoroark were a little better.

Xia Yu even wanted to buy this Zoroark and use the panacea potion to change its qualifications!

However, the more Xia Yu thought about it, the more he felt that he was at a loss. His Panacea Potion was intended to be used on Greninja, and it would be a waste to use it on Zoroark.
