Opening a store.
He asked Kodora what she wanted, but Kodora shook her head with little interest, only caring about her saplings and bonsai.
Kashiwagi took it back into the Poké Ball and released a pink Chansey egg.
"Sorry for the wait, what do you want?"
"lucky..."
Jigglypuff looked around, came forward, grabbed the trainer's trouser leg and shook his head, indicating that there was nothing he wanted.
The dungeon was not a pleasant place for it. The people around it were all very malicious, which often made it feel suffocated. So now it just wanted to leave here.
Seeing that Chansey was in a low mood, Kashiwagi was about to put it back into the ball, but after thinking it over, he put the Poké Ball away instead, bent down, pressed its face with both hands, and squeezed it towards the middle.
Jigglypuff's mouth suddenly turned into an O shape, and its two little paws waved in panic.
"Lucky!"
It didn't quite understand what the trainer was going to do.
"Don't panic, I'm right beside you, it's okay. No one can hurt you here..." Kashiwagi looked at Jigglypuff very seriously, "We are just out shopping, buying some things we can't normally buy, no one will do anything bad to you."
Every word and sentence is patient and instructive.
Jigglypuff's mood gradually calmed down and his demeanor returned to normal.
Only then did Kashiwagi let go of its face with satisfaction, "So have you thought about it now? You contributed to the money you want to buy, so I will buy it for you no matter what it is!"
"lucky..."
Jigglypuff looked around hesitantly, tried hard to recall, and began to dance.
The movements were difficult to understand at first, but when it turned into stir-frying, flipping the wok, etc., Kashiwagi carefully asked several times and finally understood what it wanted -
It wants to learn how to cook.
Because I want to see once again the longing and reluctant expressions on Kashiwagi and Kodara's faces when they are eating fried eggs.
Delicious food can make people happy.
Seeing the people and Pokémon it cares about smile is what Chansey wants to see the most, so it wants to master both healing and cooking.
My dream is to be a Pokémon that can make my companions feel truly happy!
"...You guy."
Kashiwagi was silent for a while, and touched Jigglypuff with some helplessness and some affection. If he had to use a word to describe it, "dedicated personality" would definitely be perfect and appropriate.
Is this the case with most Jigglypuffs?
No matter what, the heart it has is worth being moved by.
"Lucky~" Jigglypuff smiled embarrassedly.
"Okay, let's cook."
Kashiwagi looked around and decided to take it to the largest department store in this underground city, where there must be cooking books, raw materials and various professional kitchen utensils from the outside world.
-
Returning from shopping.
The sky was already getting dark.
Kashiwagi gave up the idea of moving there today and sorted out the items he had purchased.
This trip cost him nearly two million.
Why so many?
Putting aside some miscellaneous items, the most expensive one is the latest product of Devin Company, the [Worry-Free Travel Backpack]. It looks small from the outside, but it can hold magical items far beyond its apparent capacity.
When Baimu saw this thing, he finally understood why Xiaogang always took out various stools, pots and pans for lunch and dinner.
So it’s black technology!
It is said that the principle of the travel backpack comes from Pokémon, but it is not clear which Pokémon it is.
It's a pity that good things are expensive. It cost Baimu 1.5 million to buy it, and the shop owner looked like he had made a fortune.
The internal area is about ten cubic meters, which he thinks should be enough.
By the way.
He took custody of Ken's three Pokémon.
Since they had taken special drugs and could be detected by physical examination, the price of selling them would inevitably be greatly discounted. Of course, he did not plan to sell them, but to digest them internally.
As a team leader, he felt it necessary to improve the strength of his team members if possible.
After all, it is not so quick to escape from Huangtie Town yet. It would be too dangerous to defect right after being promoted to team leader.
Let's find some reliable guys who won't sell Pokémon randomly, and find a good future for these three poor Pokémon.
Baimu was leaning on a soft pillow. On his left was Jigglypuff, who was sleeping like a good baby and breathing softly. Under his feet was Kodara, who was snoring loudly and almost made a dent in the bed.
When Kodora evolves into Boskodora, this bed will probably not be able to bear it at all.
Cherish the present moment...
He closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
-
The next day.
Bang bang bang.
Someone knocks on the door.
Baimu, who had just finished washing up, opened the door. He thought it was Chenghong and the others who had received the news, but it turned out to be Frobo, whom he just met yesterday.
"Good morning, did I disturb your sleep?"
"No, I'm awake. What's wrong?"
He asked curiously, the person in front of him should not be so free.
"I'm just here to ask for someone. Do you have any idea about doing anything for Jian's three Pokémon?" Flopo stated his purpose directly, and his straightforwardness was touching.
Kashiwagi remained silent, then made way for him and asked, "Come in and talk?"
"Alright."
Frobo nodded.
He was not actually surprised that someone came to his door to ask for Pokémon. The place that hosted the Wolfhounds was not a meticulous organization, and that group of unscrupulous people would have probably sold out all his information long ago.
This is normal in Yellow Iron Town.
Chapter 50: La's Territory
"Three, four million in total."
After Frobo sat down, he made an offer. Seeing that Kashiwagi was just silently pouring water and didn't respond, he said, "This price is already very good. They are of course the final evolution and their combat power looks good, but after all, they have taken medicine..."
“So the value is fundamentally compromised, I understand.”
Kashiwagi nodded and sighed slightly in his heart.
Buying and selling Pokémon was common in other regions, but when he heard the specific "value" of a Pokémon, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Forget it. Please thank that person for his kindness on my behalf. It would be better for me to keep them." He said sincerely.
"Has anyone made a reservation?"
"No, I don't want to sell them myself."
"..."
Frobo stared at his face, carefully trying to determine if he was raising the price. After realizing that he was not, he tapped the table with his knuckles, "...I know you may think you don't need money right now, but to be honest, 10 million is nothing.
"It may seem like a lot at first glance, but it won't take long. And since you killed their trainer, it won't be easy for them to accept you. Do you plan to keep them in custody forever? This is not a small amount of money!"
Just as he said, when I first got it I thought ten million was a lot, but when I actually used it I felt it was really little.
Living in poverty and living in wealth are two different states, and Kashiwagi hopes to enter the latter.
He has at least two mouths to feed.
"And I heard that you haven't chosen your third Pokémon yet. These four million are enough for you to choose some strong and potential Pokémon."
Frobo persuaded again: "The mental state of Pokémon that have taken medicine will be unstable. Even if you really tame it, you will be disappointed. Besides, it will be difficult for you to handle three of them at once."
To be honest, what he said was very touching, but he really didn't want to sell those three poor Pokémon.
So Kashiwagi shook his head again.
Frobo was silent, picked up the water cup and took a sip, "..."
I thought that if we couldn't reach an agreement at this point, we should leave. Unexpectedly, the other party paused for a while and asked again:
"Can I hear what you're going to do with them?"
"Of course." Kashiwagi knew that there was no need to hide this kind of thing. Even if he didn't say it, the wind would get out sooner or later. "I plan to find a few reliable ones among my subordinates and let them adopt them."
"…adopt?"
"Well, you can also consider it as a team benefit? Forget it if you want to sell it."
"..."
Frobo looked at Kashiwagi in a rather strange way, "My client offered 4 million for you and you won't sell it to me, but will let me adopt it for free?"
"That's understandable."
He calmly accepted the gaze of the person in front of him. It didn't matter whether they laughed at him for being crazy or ridiculed him for being hypocritical.
Frobo stood up, his expression was extremely complicated for a moment, and then he sighed deeply.
"Excuse me, just pretend I was never here."
"Don't say that. I know you mean well. It's troublesome for you to make the trip." Baimu saw him off, closed the door, and let out a breath.
Four million, to be honest, it’s really exciting.
