"Stolen goods..."
With nothing to do, he looked at the manual again.
The Pokémon marked above are like the cat and dog rating competitions in the previous life, where appearance, origin, and bloodline are considered, while combat level and level are secondary.
For example, one of the Milk Tanks has a label on it saying that she and the Milk Tank of Akane, the gym leader of Johto Manjin City, are from the same mother.
There are also the descendants of the Four Heavenly Kings' Pokémon, the descendants of a top trainer whom Kashiwagi doesn't know but seems to be particularly famous, and so on.
Regardless of the authenticity of these things, at least the appearance shown in the photos is indeed extraordinary.
It was very different from the Jigglypuff that was in the iron cage, extremely depressed, with a messy appearance and almost no care.
And in this.
He thought there were three most likely clues pointing to Pokémon.
The first one is a group of six single-headed dragons sold in batches, marked as coming from the Dragon Country of Unova, the hometown of the black and white female champion Alice.
The second one is an Altanon that was said to have been bred by the gym leader of the Galar Fist Arena, Chibana, known as Dragon Storm, and is only related to the one he is using now.
The third one is the descendants of the Alola region's overlord, the Armored Dragon, three adorable Heartscale treasures.
However, the prices of the three types are surprisingly similar. The starting price for six single-headed dragons is 20 million, the starting price for the aluminum steel dragon is 15 million, and the starting price for the heart scale treasure is 30 million!
The gimmick was taken to the extreme.
Why is Heartscale so expensive?
Because what is advertised above is that there is a chance that they can be bred to a size comparable to that of an Overlord, and there is even a chance that they will have an Overlord's aura -
Dream on, it's such false propaganda.
The aura of a hegemon is not passed on by blood.
Kashiwagi knew very well that this was pure nonsense, but compared to that, what was more worthy of attention was what the clues pointed to, or none of them?
to be frank.
After knowing that their origins were abnormal, he no longer had the desire to buy them, and would rather go out and find a more normal Pokémon store - there were many black shops in the dungeon, but there were also many Pokémon that were normally imported into the Ouray region.
"never mind."
Kashiwagi shook his head and slowly stood up to go to the bathroom.
Shan Min had been gone for more than ten minutes. If he hadn't left me here, he should have been doing something big or chatting with someone.
This man was quite well-known in the town of Yellow Iron, so it was not surprising to meet someone who wanted to make friends with him.
-
Following the waiter's instructions, I walked all the way to the bathroom.
However, Baimu did not meet Shan Min along the way. The compartments of the sitting pit were all open, and there was no sign of Shan Min.
Leaving first?
I feel that given Shan Minoru's character, he would not just abandon him and run away without saying a word.
He quickly took care of the hygiene problem, and when he was washing his hands, he suddenly saw a man wearing a turban and covering half of his face with a sand-proof towel coming over. After turning on the faucet, he said something inexplicable.
"Ryusei Village? Yanmo City? Shenhe Town?"
"Uh……"
"No matter where you come from, get away from here as soon as possible. If something happens, I won't be able to take care of your safety. Also, keep the sign and don't show it blatantly."
"..."
Kashiwagi didn't reply. He saw the other party staring at the wooden sign on his waist from the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but tremble in his heart, realizing that the clue he had been waiting for for many days had come.
Unexpectedly, the man turned around and left after saying these words.
He thought about it for a moment, took out the Poké Ball, held it in his hand and quickly chased after him, but he attracted the man's attention after only two steps.
"Tsk! Why don't you listen to my advice, little brat?"
The man rubbed his head irritably, strode over and grabbed his arm, "Come with me, this is not the place to talk."
Kashiwagi calmly let the other party pull him, and took this opportunity to carefully observe the other party's appearance.
Although the face was covered by a veil, based on factors such as body shape, voice and exposed skin, he guessed that the person was probably not very old, most likely only in his twenties.
And when the two of them reached a corner, the other person lifted her veil.
Judging from the appearance alone, Kashiwagi's guess seemed to be confirmed.
"Where did you hear this? By chance? I told you the people here are very dangerous. They are not like the bad guys we met before. They will not show mercy. People could really die!"
The man said earnestly.
Seeing his anxious face, Kashiwagi pondered for a few seconds and said, "Did you misunderstand something?"
"what?"
The man was stunned for a moment, frowning deeply, "I misunderstood... Don't tell me you don't know what they are selling here."
"That's not what I meant. I meant that you might have mistaken me for someone else. Unfortunately, I'm a native of Yellow Iron."
Kashiwagi shook his head.
The man's expression changed quickly, and he grabbed the brand on his waist, "Where did you get this brand?"
Chapter 125 Dragon Taming Tribe
Kashiwagi reached out to grab it, "This is what my father left for me."
"Father?"
The man was stunned for a moment when he heard his response, and the wooden sign in his hand was quickly snatched away, without him having time to look at it carefully.
In fact, as long as he rubs the texture carefully and then examines it carefully, it is not difficult to find that this thing was actually made not long ago, and it does not look like those old things that have been played with for many years.
Even if the cypress wood was deliberately made to look old, it still hadn't reached the point where one month was equivalent to ten years. After all, Huangtie Town was not a town that specialized in selling antiques, so there was no relevant technology tree.
That's enough of bluffing.
The man looked at Kashiwagi again, his expression becoming a little complicated, "Your father..."
"He has been dead since I can remember." The latter responded very calmly, and then asked: "Can you tell me what this thing is? I have always been curious."
The man let out a breath, "This..."
"Kashiwagi?"
A voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.
Baimu's heart skipped a beat, but he concealed his annoyance, turned around and suddenly saw Shan Min who had disappeared.
What’s interesting is that Shan Min’s face was full of surprise at this time, and his eyes were wandering between him and the man behind him.
"You know each other!?"
The man opened his mouth, his tone laced with disbelief.
"Do you know each other?" Kashiwagi was also surprised. He took a step back and glanced at the man and Shan Minoru. He never thought that the existence pointed to by this clue was actually related to the latter.
The three of them looked at each other, all confused.
"... Let's find a place to have a good chat before the auction starts." Shan Min took the initiative to speak.
The other two naturally had no objection.
At the same time, Kashiwagi was extremely glad that he did not pretend to be a descendant of the dragon race as the man said, but gave an ambiguous response. If the problem is handed over to the previous generation or even the previous generation, there will be more room for manipulation.
-
Kashiwagi originally thought that Yamaminoru would borrow a small room from the organizer.
What happened was that the three of them acted like thieves, going through an unattended door to the parking lot and getting into the SUV.
"Who says it first?"
Shan Minoru turned to look at Kashiwagi and the other person and asked softly.
Finally, that person raised his hand first, "Let me go first. Do you two know each other?"
"I know him. I brought him here." Shan Min said very honestly, but this sentence seemed to arouse the man's anger, and he slapped the seat pillow hard.
"What are you thinking? How can you just bring someone into such a dangerous place? And someone who knows nothing at all!"
"I have my own considerations." Shan Minoru seemed unaware of his anger and continued to introduce himself, revealing Kashiwagi's general condition.
When the man heard this, the anger on his face quickly dissipated and he calmed down a lot.
"Are you here to buy Pokémon?" He looked at Kashiwagi and asked in a calm tone.
Kashiwagi shuddered, "I didn't know the Pokémon here were from shady places, really! If I had known in advance, I wouldn't have come here!"
Although there is no need to be afraid of others, it is better to explain clearly what you are not going to do to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
really.
As soon as he said this, the man's hands that were tightly gripping the cushion slowly relaxed.
Shan Min also said: "I can prove that I tricked him into coming here, and he didn't know about it."
"You--"
The man's anger, which had just subsided, suddenly rose again.
"Alright, alright." Shan Minoru pressed his hands, signaling him to calm down. Facing Kashiwagi's puzzled look, he smiled and said, "You must have a lot of questions, so let me explain them one by one.
"This is Takeru, the dragon trainer from Dragon Country. He came to Pyrite Town to track down the stolen One-Headed Dragon. We happened to have met each other several times in the Kalos region, so I agreed to help him find these Pokémon."
Upon hearing this, Kashiwagi immediately looked at Awu and found that although the latter had a strange expression, he still nodded in agreement. He immediately understood something in his heart.
"You may be curious. Since we are going to do something so important and so secretive, why did I specially invite you here..." Shan Min said calmly: "On the one hand, I want to know your reaction to the stolen goods. On the other hand, I also want to use the opportunity of sending you away to create an opportunity to lay a trap and prove your alibi."
"Shanmin!"
Ah Wu's face changed, "Don't involve irrelevant people!"
"Let me finish, Takeru." Shan Minoru shook his head and suddenly lowered his head to apologize, "I'm sorry, I took advantage of you. But please believe that I have absolutely no intention of putting you in danger.
"Whether you are willing to buy those Pokémon or not, I will find a reason to send you back, and you will never be harmed. I am also willing to compensate you for your losses and agree to any of your conditions."
