Chapter 233: Garchomp Mega Stone
Just as Hydreigon was completely bewildered, it heard the Human opposite say, "Once you can fly, take your underlings and leave."
?(.ヘ°) You're not catching me? I'm such a rare and powerful Pokémon, and you're not catching me? Are you okay? Are you okay?
Hydreigon knew very well that rare Pokémon like itself were highly coveted by Humans. Over the years, it had defeated countless Human Pokémon Trainers who had tried to catch it.
Some of them were beaten so badly they were a sorry sight, yet they still clung to the illusion of catching it. It was truly laughable.
The reason it came to know the Under-Stone Birds and become their protector was also because it was attacked by a powerful Human Pokémon Trainer back then.
Although it temporarily repelled that Human Pokémon Trainer at the time, it was severely injured as a result and was eventually saved by the Under-Stone Birds Tribe.
In the days that followed, because the Under-Stone Birds secretly reported information to it and acted as its eyes and ears, it managed to escape Human pursuits time and time again.
During this process, its strength grew stronger and stronger, and it gradually developed deep feelings with the Under-Stone Birds Tribe, eventually becoming a supporter of the Under-Stone Birds Tribe.
So many people yearned for it but couldn't obtain it, yet this Human before it, after defeating it, wanted to let it go! This left Hydreigon unsure how to react for a moment.
This shouldn't be how things develop!
Not only was Hydreigon confused, but the Under-Stone Birds were also very confused.
Just then, Hydreigon heard the Human opposite speak to it again: "Since you are the protector of this group of Under-Stone Birds, you should be responsible for managing them well, instead of letting them act recklessly. That's not good for them!
Fortunately, you met the kind-hearted me today. If it were others, would today's matter have ended peacefully? Dream on! None of you would get away, I'd sell every single one of you."
Hearing Bai Feng's words, the Under-Stone Birds shivered one after another. They didn't want to be sold!
"So, manage the Under-Stone Birds well, restrain their behavior, and let them know what they should and shouldn't do. Otherwise, disasters like today won't happen just once. There are many Pokémon in the world more powerful than you; you can't handle them all!" Bai Feng continued to say to Hydreigon.
After listening to Bai Feng's words, Hydreigon fell into deep thought. It was true that it had indulged the Under-Stone Birds too much over the years. Under its connivance, the Under-Stone Birds dared to provoke anyone, and if they couldn't handle it, they would come to it.
As a wild Pokémon, Hydreigon had indeed rarely met its match over the years, to the point where it had unknowingly become arrogant.
But the match with Dragonair today made it deeply realize that it was still far from strong. It couldn't even handle a Dragonair, yet it dared to be so arrogant and conceited.
It wasn't just Hydreigon reflecting; the Under-Stone Birds were as well.
After experiencing today's events and hearing Bai Feng's admonition, the Under-Stone Birds finally realized how excessive their usual behavior was.
The Pokémon they had bullied probably felt the same way they did today, fearful and helpless.
Thinking of this, they lowered their heads in frustration, their gazes towards Hydreigon filled with guilt.
At the same time, Hydreigon felt equally guilty. If it weren't for it, the Under-Stone Birds wouldn't have become so arrogant, domineering, and reckless.
How cautious the Under-Stone Birds were when they acted as its eyes and ears before. Without their caution, it wouldn't have been able to escape smoothly from Human Pokémon Trainers' pursuits multiple times.
Seeing Hydreigon and the Under-Stone Birds looking humble and receptive, Bai Feng nodded in satisfaction. They were teachable!
Immediately, under the astonished gazes of Hydreigon and the Under-Stone Birds, Bai Feng and Bai Ye, along with their Pokémon, disappeared from the top of the Aircraft using Teleport, without a moment's hesitation.
Before leaving, he also left some Berries that could replenish HP for Hydreigon and the Under-Stone Birds.
Bai Feng: I'm truly too kind!
He really left! He really doesn't care about me, this rare and precious Pokémon? Hydreigon thought. I didn't expect there would actually be a Pokémon Trainer who doesn't covet me!
He's so special!
About half an hour later, Bai Feng and their rest time ended, and Hydreigon also recovered its ability to fly.
Watching the Aircraft quickly disappear into the sky, a thought suddenly popped into Hydreigon's head: That Human is really good. If he were the one to catch me, it seems... it wouldn't be impossible...
This thought only stayed in Hydreigon's mind for a moment. At this point, even if it wanted to go back on its word, it was too late, because the Human's Aircraft had long since vanished without a trace.
Sigh~ I feel like I've lost something incredibly important!
Savoring the delicious Berries it had just eaten, Hydreigon called out to its Under-Stone Bird underlings: "Roar~" Let's go!
Speaking of Mega Stones, Bai Feng was currently in the Aircraft, using his computer to check the bounties he had posted on the Pokémon Trainer forum.
The first bounty, exchanging Water Stones for Shiny Stones, was progressing relatively smoothly. Although only one Shiny Stone had been exchanged so far, quite a few other types of Evolution Stones had been obtained.
He believed that with patience, he would definitely collect all eleven Shiny Stones eventually.
The second bounty, purchasing Mega Stones for 200 million Pokémon Dollar, was not going as smoothly.
There were quite a few people who sent messages asking about the authenticity, but none of them actually possessed a Mega Stone.
They didn't understand the use of Mega Stones; they were just curious and inquired after seeing the high bounty of 200 million.
Some even told Bai Feng that he would definitely find this kind of stone and asked him to wait for them and not withdraw the bounty.
Bai Feng was amused by him.
If you can really find a Mega Stone, even if the bounty is withdrawn, I'll still take it if you bring it.
Bai Feng kept scrolling through the bounty page, deleting most of the useless information, and found that still no one had come forward with a Mega Stone to exchange for money.
Sigh~ Mega Stones are too hard to find!
Just as Bai Feng was sighing, Venus's figure appeared on the big screen.
"Master, because the Ultimate Defense was activated, the spaceship's energy is running low. Would you like to land at a nearby Charging Point to recharge?"
Bai Feng asked, "Where is the nearest Charging Point?"
As Bai Feng's words fell, Venus's figure on the big screen disappeared, replaced by a map of the Galar Region.
The location of Motostoke on the map was circled, and Venus's voice sounded again, "The nearest Charging Point is in Motostoke."
After saying that, Venus began to introduce relevant information about Motostoke to Bai Feng.
Motostoke is located in the central part of the Galar Region, not far from Turffield, where Bai Feng and the others were heading.
It is an industrialized city with a large number of Mine around it. The economy is mainly driven by industry, so a large number of Pokémon such as Rolycoly, Carkol, Coalossal, and Galarian Weezing live around the city.
Rolycoly, Carkol, and Coalossal play a crucial role in Motostoke's industry. They are important helpers for people in mining ore and supplying energy. It can be said that without them, most of Motostoke's factories would be paralyzed.
While Motostoke's industry is prosperous, it is also accompanied by serious environment pollution. This is the reason why there are a large number of Galarian Weezing in this city.
Galarian Weezing can absorb pollutants from the air, feeding on foul air and poison gas. The air absorbed Inside the body is purified and then expelled from the chimneys on their heads.
The air expelled by Galarian Weezing is very clean and fresh. It can be said that without the existence of Galarian Weezing, there would be no Motostoke as it is today; it would have probably been destroyed by the large amount of pollution generated by the industrialization process long ago.
After listening to Venus's introduction of Motostoke, Bai Feng nodded and said, "Then let's go to Motostoke!" Anyway, Motostoke and Turffield are on the same route, so stopping to recharge won't delay things.
"Understood, Master! Departing for Motostoke!"
Under Venus's navigation, the Aircraft accelerated and sped towards Motostoke.
Motostoke was not far from Bai Feng's original location. About half an hour later, the Aircraft successfully landed at the Charging Point in Motostoke.
The Charging Point in Motostoke was not in the city center, but in an area close to the Suburban Area. Before even getting off the Aircraft, Bai Feng saw Galarian Weezing levitate in the air through the Window.
They continuously absorbed pollutants from the air through their mouths and noses, and then expelled fresh air through the chimneys on their heads. Their dopey expressions somehow hit Bai Feng's cute spot.
It was Bai Feng's first time seeing this kind of Pokémon, so he couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
Apart from having an extra chimney on their heads and their color turning green, Galarian Weezing actually don't differ much in appearance from regular Weezing.
There's also a little-known fact: the chimneys on Galarian Weezing's heads are their excretory organs, and the fresh air they exhale is actually their waste.
The air that people in Motostoke breathe daily is the waste of Galarian Weezing.
Bai Feng got off the Aircraft and saw a Miss in a uniform quickly run over and ask enthusiastically, "Welcome! How can I help you?"
"Please fully charge my Aircraft!" Bai Feng said.
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
After saying that, the Miss waved to two Staff Member not far away. The two quickly ran over with charging cables and skillfully plugged them into the Aircraft's charging port.
"Guests, please wait a moment. Your Aircraft will be fully charged in about fifteen minutes," the Miss said.
"Okay, thank you for the trouble!"
Bai Feng nodded. After saying this, he returned to the Aircraft and went to Carbink's Room to take a look.
The diamond cocoon that Carbink had transformed into lay quietly on the bed, while Bayleef was curled up on the bedside, sleeping soundly.
Even the energetic Bayleef was exhausted after spending half the day talking with Carbink.
Quietly closing Carbink's Room door, Bai Feng returned to the Living Room sofa and lounged. Just then, the computer on the table suddenly chimed.
Bai Feng picked up the computer in confusion and saw that there was a message notification from the Pokémon Trainer forum. He opened the forum app in confusion and saw that someone had sent him a private message.
The person who sent Bai Feng the message was a Pokémon Trainer with the IP name Prince Louis XVI.
Prince Louis?
Just recently made a netizen named Princess Jimeiya, and today there's a Prince Louis.
Am I so fated with princes and princesses? Bai Feng couldn't help but think.
Bai Feng had actually been in contact with Princess Jimeiya all along. After a period of communication, they had exchanged their real identity information and could be considered friends with a pretty good bond.
Princess Jimeiya is a genuine princess. Her country is the Azoth Kingdom, which is quite famous in the Kalos Region. It is a place where mysterious science has reached its peak, and every year a large number of tourists visit their mechanical cities.
The Azoth Kingdom's reputation as a "mechanical city".
So the Azoth Kingdom is very wealthy, which is why Princess Jimeiya casually gave Bai Feng a Lopunny Mega Stone.
So what about this Prince Louis? Is he also a real prince?
With this thought, Bai Feng clicked on the message sent by Prince Louis XVI.
"Hello, I found a similar stone while exploring some ruins a while ago. Are you really willing to buy it for 200 million Pokémon Dollar?"
Bai Feng thought for a moment and replied, "Of course. May I see a photo of that stone?"
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
After Prince Louis XVI replied, he sent a photo shortly after. When Bai Feng opened the photo, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
The photo sent by the other party showed a deep purple crystal. Intertwined red and orange spiral patterns were in the center of the crystal. It was indeed a Garchomp Mega Stone.
A Pseudo-Legendary's Mega Stone!
Bai Feng was a little excited.
"Can I ask about the use of this stone? Why are you willing to spend 200 million Pokémon Dollar to buy it?" The other party sent another message.
Bai Feng hesitated for a moment but chose to tell the other party the truth.
"This stone is related to a mysterious evolution involving Pokémon."
Although he told the truth, Bai Feng didn't go into too much detail. However, his answer already satisfied the other party. The other party hadn't even expected Bai Feng to answer honestly, after all, this concerned a treasure worth 200 million Pokémon Dollar.
"I see..."
"I'm willing to sell it to you, but can the price be increased a little? I know it's very valuable."
His request for a price increase was within Bai Feng's expectations.
"It is indeed valuable, which is why I offered a high price of 200 million. No matter how valuable something is, it's useless if you don't know its purpose. It's better to quickly get the tangible 200 million. 200 million is more than enough!" Bai Feng replied to him.
A super rare Garchomp Mega Stone, adding a little money wouldn't really be a big deal, but if Bai Feng agreed to the other party, it was hard to guarantee that the other party wouldn't ask for an exorbitant price.
To avoid trouble, he didn't plan to budge.
After some bargaining, seeing that Bai Feng's attitude was firm and he consistently refused to budge, the other party had no choice but to reply, "Okay, 200 million it is. Deal."
It was clear that the other party was likely very short on money, making the possibility of him being a prince unlikely.
The Pokémon Trainer forum is an official trading forum set up by the Pokémon League. Trading on it is guaranteed by the Pokémon League and is very safe.
The two signed a contract under the witness of the forum system. Bai Feng had his Mother transfer the money to the other party, and the other party would mail the things to Fangxing Mountain.
