257 Chapter 259 Auction
...
The sun is westward.
The gorgeous afterglow is like a silk scarf waving by an intellectual beauty.
In the haze, Rustboro City seems to be coated with golden.
Walking on the street, the tall buildings of row upon row are like painted beams, as if you are in a Saffron world.
Rustboro City is located in the westernmost part of the Hoenn continent, and the sunset glow makes the city extraordinarily beautiful.
Natsu came to Rustboro City just before sunset.
This gigantic metropolis is in no way inferior to Saffron City, Kanto Region.
Everywhere shows its prosperity.
After experiencing the rustic beauty of the "Meteor's Village", and then experiencing the modern concrete city of Rustboro City, what Natsu gave Natsu was a contrast in the depth of one's soul.
"Maybe I'm destined to be a vulgar." Natsu said with a smile, slightly self-deprecating.
A moment ago, he was still lamenting the beauty of "Meteor's Land", hoping to find such a place to retire in the future.
At this moment, he felt that modern society was better, a city filled with the wisdom of many generations.
Perhaps, this is the best era
"Yongji?" Kadabra looked at Natsu with some incomprehension.
Although it's smart and probably has a much higher IQ than Natsu, it doesn't understand what Natsu is saying.
This is probably the biggest difference between Pokémon and humans.
"It's nothing, I've suddenly become a little emotional." Natsu shook the head.
Kadabra seems to be nod.
"First dispose of the things on your body, and then buy some necessary supplies."
Although I just came back from the wild feeling a little tired, but many things can't be delayed.
Togetic's Pokéblock, for example, is really running out.
Leveraging his experience in Saffron City, Natsu found the entrance to the black market after "friendly" inquiring about a few hooligans in Rustboro City.
Does Alliance know about the existence of a black market?
The answer is yes.
Then why did Alliance not prevent the emergence of the black market and try to completely eradicate the existence of the black market that seems to undermine the interests of the Alliance?
Because of balance.
It's like the Alliance does have the strength to clean up the underground forces in each Region, but it doesn't.
If there is white, there will be black. If only white is left in a Region, it means that this Region is not far from extinction.
Sweeping the black market is the same as sweeping the underground.
Can it be done?
OK?
But does it have to be?
Not necessarily.
Who is the most in the black market?
Those members of the underground forces?
No, the most common trainers, trainers that are not affiliated with Alliance, trainers that have no place to buy resources and sell resources.
If the black market is cleaned up, these Trainers will definitely take some more dangerous paths in order to obtain resources, and even burn, kill and loot.
The Alliance certainly can't handle it.
Just like those underground forces, if they are thoroughly cleaned up, will there be no new forces?
What should the members who have lost the protection of the organization do?
This is also bound to be accompanied by a plummeting social stability, and various large and small dangerous events occur frequently.
As a result, the entire Region and the entire Alliance become very chaotic.
Alliance wants stability and peace.
They have already risen to a certain height, so they turn a blind eye to these things, as long as they don't overdo it, the Alliance will not care.
Just like a normal Trainer grabbing a few Pokémons to sell, is Alliance still holding on to something like this?
Just don't hunt like those professional hunters.
not.
Therefore, it is a fixed phenomenon that every city has a black market.
And in a metropolis like Rustboro City, the black market must also be huge.
Sunset time.
It's the end of the day in Rustboro City, but the real excitement is just beginning for the black market.
Natsu has a lot to deal with.
In terms of Items, except for the ones that have not been used on Pokémon, there are Reaper Cloth, Heat Rock, Top Rank Dusk Stone, Stardust, Dragon Scale, Life Orb and Dragon Fang who has just been identified not long ago , that is, the last sharp tooth that was snapped out of Clay's body.
At the end of the day, it's also Natsu's fault for Clay.
In addition to those Dragon Type Pokémon cubs that really can't be carried, he still carried the most valuable Dragon Fang with him, which was also cheaper for Natsu.
The Pokémon that need to be sold mainly include an (elite) Druddigon, nine Solrocks, Clay's Nidoking and Drapion.
As for the rest of Clay's Pokémon, Ariados died directly in Absol's hands, Golbat and Excadrill were rescued by Clay because of their serious injuries, and finally died in the half way.
Although it's a pity, Nidoking and Drapion are worth a lot, and they can be considered a fortune.
apart from this.
There are also some scattered Pokémon caught in Meteor Falls on the Misty Isle, which are neither low nor high, and sold together.
Natsu does the math, and if he sells all of these things, there will be a surge in his value.
It's hard to say.
"It looks like I'm going to become a multi-millionaire." Natsu was also a little surprised.
However.
He won't sell everything either, and he might keep some of it for later use.
And.
But, having learned the lesson of peddling Onix in Saffron City, would not choose to sell Clay's two Pokémon here to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After a little thought, Natsu decides what items and Pokémon to sell.
The black market in Rustboro City is different from Saffron City, there is no clear division of the area, and the Pokémon shop and Pokémon Items shop are still next to each other.
This leads to the fact that anyone who wants to buy something in the black market, good luck may pick up the leak, bad luck is likely to buy defective products, very Test your eyesight and experience.
And the whole black market is built around a huge building.
Look at the distribution map on the black market.
Natsu got it.
It turns out that this building is the auction house of the Rustboro City black market.
Every once in a while, large and small auctions are organized, which completely pushes the atmosphere in the black market to the top.
With luck, Natsu was just in time for an auction.
Although it was a small auction, Natsu was startled by the items listed on the auction list.
There's even a Quasi-Legendary Pokémon!
The Three Founding Families Pokémon from various places, which were originally very rare, also appeared on this list.
Such as Bulbasaur in Kanto Region, Totodile in Johto Region, Torchic and Marshtomp in Hoenn Region, etc.
This made him very curious.
How much is a Quasi-Legendary Pokémon worth?
How much are Three Founding Families Pokémon everywhere?
Luckily, what Natsu was going to sell also qualified for this list, so he qualified for a private box.
Following the flow of people, I entered the very dimly lit auction hall.
Thousands of seats and dozens of individual boxes.
It can be seen that the scale of this auction is not small.
Led by scantily clad "Wigglytuff girls", Natsu enters his box.
Number 38.
A very auspicious number.
