Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 602 A large number of rare stones appear!

Carlos region, Miare city.

When Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun arrived in the city, the time had just reached nine o'clock in the morning.

The originally peaceful city gradually became lively, like a large beast awakening.

Cobblestone-paved streets surround the office buildings on the outside of the city, and the internal avenues are lined with typical Parisian buildings. The wide roads provide safe and convenient driving conditions for the city. Diagonal canals flow through the center of the city.

There is no doubt that this is a super metropolis full of romance and artistic atmosphere!

One person and one Pokémon were walking on the street. Guluton, which was originally very eye-catching in Ziqin Town, seemed a bit too ordinary here.

Because there are all kinds of Pokémon walking around on the streets!

The tall mount goat, the lady-dressed Dolymia, the handsome and cool Sonic Dragon, the rogue panda with a sinister expression on his face holding vanilla in his mouth...

Along the way, there are various cafes dotted on the streets. It seems that cafe culture is very popular here.

Like the Roundabout Cafe, Handsome Cafe, Luoque Cafe, Kaipai Cafe, Fashionable Cafe, Wangwang Cafe, etc.

Well-dressed upper-class people hang out in these cafes, sitting by the window drinking a cup of coffee and reading an old-fashioned newspaper.

"Ah, geez..." Gulerton has never seen such a prosperous metropolis before. Compared with this place, Zhiqin Town is simply a backward rural town!

Naoki noticed the promotional photos of Karuni's movie printed on the billboard.

Karuni, the champion of the Kalos region, is also a very famous female star.

But because she can't beat Ash Ketchum in the anime, she can't beat Fire King in the comics, and she's even pushed by players in the game, which also leads to Karuni being nicknamed the "weakest champion" among the players.

"I don't know how strong Karuni is in this world."

Naoki was very curious, but unfortunately he didn't come here today to explore Karuni's strength.

Moving forward along Qiuri Avenue, Zhi Shu soon found No. 203 on the forum on the left side of the cobblestone street.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door. Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps inside the door. Then, the door was opened, and a dark-skinned, rough-faced uncle wearing a hiking suit came out in front of Naoki.

There is no doubt that this is the "Mountain Man" who provides stone betting services on the forum.

Naoki simply expressed his intention to the other party, and then was welcomed into the house by the other party.

Shan Nan: "Please come in! You should be the guest from the Padia area, right?"

Naoki had briefly communicated with the other party online before, telling him that he would be visiting this morning, so Yamao guessed it right away.

"It's me." Naoki nodded slightly.

Shan Nan couldn't help but cast his eyes on Gu Ledun and praised: "Look at that handsome figure and that domineering look, he is really a beautiful guy!"

"Ah geez!" Therefore, Luton could understand that the human in front of him was praising himself, and it immediately became very proud.

Naoki: "..."

Yamao then laughed loudly: "What an interesting Pokémon. Come with me and I will take you to see the rocks. Oh, by the way, there is a customer there who is choosing, so you two have to wait a moment."

"Okay, it doesn't matter." Naoki nodded.

He took Gu Ledun and followed Shan Nan to his stone collection room. A young man wearing a knitted sweater was standing in front of a display cabinet selecting his favorite stones.

Naoki looked around. The layout here was exactly the same as in the picture. The cabinets on the four walls were filled with various stones.

However, it is impossible to identify the type of stone with the naked eye.

Just because each stone is either covered with a layer of brown soil or wrapped in rock fragments, although part of it is exposed, there is no way to tell what is inside.

At this moment, the man was pacing back and forth on the counter. After a while, he stopped in front of a stone and said, "This is it! Mr. Yamao, I want to buy this!"

"Are you sure?" Shan Nan asked.

"That's right! This must be the Koga Ninja Super Stone I want!" The man was full of confidence.

With that said, he paid the money and took the stone to the Bratano Institute for identification.

Before the other party left, Naoki glanced at him, and the information about the stone emerged from his mind.

[Fin Fossil: The fossil of an ancient Pokémon that lived on the ground a long time ago seems to be part of the head fin. If you give it to some fossil research institutions, you can get the ancient Pokémon "Ice Dragon". 】

Seeing this, Naoki secretly thought it was a pity, but compared to returning empty-handed, the fin fossils were a good harvest.

Because the long-extinct ice and snow dragon is also a very rare existence in modern times.

"It's your turn!" Shan Nan said with a smile: "These stones are all collected during my more than 20 years of mountain climbing. Those caves in the mountains, underground tunnels dug by gophers, and places where big rock snakes pass by can often be found. See these stones."

"I don't know if there are Pokémon evolution stones in it. One stone costs 40,000 alliance coins. What you get depends on your luck!"

Naoki nodded, then came to the display cabinet, and scanned the stones carefully in order.

Therefore, Luton felt dazzled when he looked at so many stones in front of him.

"Ah geez..."

Golden Finger activated, and the information from those stones popped out one after another.

[Gravel: the food of some Pokémon. 】

[Rare earth minerals: Ore composed of soil buried deep underground, Kira’s favorite food. 】

[Sandstone Rock: A general prop. A rock containing the power of sand can enhance the power of a sandstorm. If the Pokémon carrying it uses a sandstorm, the sandstorm will last longer than usual. 】

"No." Naoki's eyes swept over, but he didn't find any Mega Evolutionary Stones. Most of them were some relatively rare soil and ores, the kind that most rock Pokémon use as food.

Naoki continued to search downwards, and soon, one of the stones attracted his attention.

[Mysterious Crystal: An important item, a crystal ball dug out of the ground. Although the surface is covered with rocks and dust, it is very beautiful. 】

This is... Naoki was slightly startled.

He remembers this stone. In the game, players can use it to exchange Heart Drops with Daigo.

"I want this." Naoki picked up the mystery crystal.

"Okay!" Shan Nan was very happy. As a result, he got another 40,000 alliance coins: "Do you want to continue?"

Naoki nodded.

Seeing this, Shan Nan was very happy. This is a big customer! He's going to make a fortune!

Naoki continued to search on the display cabinet.

In addition to ordinary stones, there are also many evolutionary stones stored on it, such as sun stones, water stones, etc. I didn’t buy these straight stone trees because it wasn’t worth spending 40,000 yuan to buy them, not to mention there were quite a few of them in the pasture that were picked up by baby bears from outside.

In addition, there are some fossils here, but Naoki is not very interested in fossils, so he did not buy those fossils.

With Naoki's unremitting efforts and after checking rows of display cabinets, he finally found the piece he wanted.

[Qixi Bluebird Evolution Stone: A magical super stone that can be carried by Qixi Bluebird and super evolved in battle. 】

Found it!

Although it is the Super Stone of Tanabata Blue Bird, for Naoki, this is still a very good start.

He bought it immediately and accelerated his search.

"Fire stone, pass, hard stone, pass, common stone, pass...Heiluga evolution stone, eh? Another one?!"

Naoki picked up the stone.

[Heiluga Evolution Stone: A magical stone that allows Heiluga to carry out super evolution in battle. 】

"Want to buy it?" Shan Nan asked with a smile, as if he saw 40,000 alliance coins waving to him.

He used to like to bring some trophies back when he was mountain climbing. He didn't expect that today these trophies would make him a rich man!

Shan Nan was very excited. He was not interested in super evolution. After all, he was not a trainer. In contrast, only with money could he do more things.

Naoki nodded and took the Heiluga evolution stone.

Shan Nan seemed to realize that the person in front of him was a big customer. He specially found a box to follow behind, specially used to put stones.

Within an hour, Naoki swept through all of Yamao's collection rooms and harvested a total of 1 Mystery Crystal x1, 1 Black Luca Evolution Stone, 1 Tanabata Blue Bird Evolution Stone, 1 Giant Needle Bee Evolution Stone, 1 Lizard King Evolution Stone, and 1 Giant Evolution Stone. Metagross Evolution Stone x1, Bulbasaur Evolution Stone x1, Bangira Evolution Stone x1, Almost Doll Evolution Stone x1.

After cleaning out the last collection room, Zhi Shu packed the stones with satisfaction.

There were nine stones in total, costing him a total of 360,000 alliance coins.

Shan Nan looked like he had made a lot of money. He didn't expect that the rocks he picked up could really be sold for so much money!

And Naoki also looked like he had made a lot of money, so even if he and Qishu didn't need it, he could still leave it to Xiaoshu for use when he grows up!

"Then welcome to visit next time!" Shan Nan said happily.

"If you pick up a new stone, remember to contact me." Naoki handed over his contact information to the other party.

"No problem, no problem!" Shan Nan was very happy.

"Then let's say goodbye." Naoki smiled slightly, then picked up the backpack containing the evolution stone and came to the gate.

He reached out and opened the door, but the moment the door opened, a familiar face suddenly came into view.

The person who came had silver hair and a handsome face, and his raised hand was hovering in the air.

That's... Daigo?

Naoki was stunned, and Daigo was also stunned.

After a long while, he finally said: "Mr. Naoki?"

Naoki quickly came to his senses and greeted him with a smile: "Long time no see, Daigo."

Five minutes later, in the Yoyo Cafe on Autumn Avenue, Naoki and Daigo sat by the window, ordering two cups of coffee and a plate of Pokémon snacks.

Gu Luton squatted beside him and happily ate snacks.

"Why is Mr. Naoki in Miare City?" Daigo asked.

"Recently, Mega Evolution was officially released. I thought maybe my Pokémon could also Mega Evolve, so I came here to see if I could buy some Pokémon evolution stones." Naoki asked, "Where are you, Daigo?" ?”

"To be honest, I am too." Dawu said.

He saw a stone-related post on the Internet yesterday. He originally wanted to come over to see if there were any rare stones, and then look for super evolutionary stones, but unexpectedly he met Naoki here.

"Mr. Naoki, have you found the Super Stone that allows Pokémon to evolve?" Daigo asked.

"I found some, but I don't know if they can be used by my Pokémon. But then again, Daigo, your Metagross should also be able to Mega Evolve, right?" Naoki said.

"That's right." Dawu nodded. In fact, as soon as the super evolution was announced, he conducted an investigation in his stone collection and found the Metagross evolution stone and key stone, and then Super evolved for the first time.

"You can go to Dr. Buratano's research institute for identification. Dr. Buratano will determine which Pokémon corresponds to it based on the energy wavelength in the evolutionary stone." Dawu said.

"Thank you very much." Although Naoki knew it well, he still thanked Daigo for his kind reminder.

Daigo continued: "In addition to the Pokémon's evolution stone, mega evolution also requires the trainer to carry the key stone. Does Mr. Naoki have the key stone?"

"No." He didn't find the keystone from Shannan just now.

Hearing this, Dawu couldn't help but smile.

He took out a bracelet from his waist. He originally wanted to share it with his friends, but since he met Mr. Naoki here, let's give this keystone bracelet to Mr. Naoki!

Naoki was stunned for a moment and turned his attention to the bracelet inlaid with colored stones.

[Super Bracelet: A bracelet inlaid with a Keystone, which can resonate with the Super Stone carried by a Pokémon, allowing the Pokémon to super evolve. 】

"This is the Keystone Bracelet. With it, coupled with the corresponding Super Stone, you can allow Pokémon to super evolve." Daigo explained elegantly: "Please accept it, just treat it as the original thing." Thank you."

At that time three years ago, it was Mr. Naoki who helped them solve the disaster caused by Groudon and Kyogre, and restored peace to the Hoenn region.

Naoki does need the key stone, but he can't ask for Daigo's things in vain.

After thinking for a while, Naoki asked: "Has your Metagross found the evolution stone?"

Daigo nodded slightly.

In this case…

Naoki thought of the mysterious crystal he just bought from Yamao.

The moment he took the mystery crystal out of the bag, Daigo's eyes were immediately attracted to it.

That kind of look is like seeing something you love.

Seeing this scene, Naoki smiled and said, "Then let me exchange this stone with you, Daigo!"

Facing such a beautiful stone, Daigo couldn't say no.

Seeing the expression on Daigo's face, Naoki couldn't help but laugh. He accepted the key stone bracelet, and then pushed the mystery crystal in front of Daigo.

"It's getting late, I have to go back to the ranch." Naoki glanced at the time, then stood up and said goodbye to Daigo: "If you have time in the future, you can go to the ranch as a guest. My wife and I will definitely I’ll treat you well, so let’s go home.”

"Ah gah!"

Therefore, Luton quickly stood up and moved his body like a big dog shaking water.

"Well, see you later." Naoki looked at Daigo.

Only then did Dawu react. He nodded slightly, a smile appeared on his handsome face, and nodded seriously: "Well, I will definitely visit you two."
