Pokémon: Rise of the Orange League

Except in the hunting areas specified by the alliance, if a trainer captures a large number of Pokémon in a short period of time, he is likely to be suspected of participating in Pokémon poaching.

After all, there are differences in rarity and ability between Pokémon species. This inequality will inevitably breed trade.

Thunderbeast is not a very rare Pokémon, but its habitat is extremely narrow. It can only be found near Violet City and a few power stations.

Such a large number of Thunderbeasts can only be obtained through such informal channels.

"Your ball?" Lu Wu pointed to the Poké Ball.

"Don't worry, we are professional in this business. All the balls have been corrected and will not leave any records in the Pokémon Center. However, it is recommended that you do not use the Pokémon Center's transmission device. You can change the balls for these Pokémon first and then register them one by one." The boss said.

"Okay, I know, pack them up for me." His words were within Lu Wu's expectations. As for the bragging that no records would be left, just listen to it. The Alliance still controls the overall situation today. They actually know a lot of things, but they just think they are still under their control, so they don't take action.

After buying a new batch of Pokémon for Leah's breeding farm, Luwu continued to explore the market.

"This is a shop that sells minerals. Their goods are all smuggled from Sinnoh." Seeing that the entire market was almost finished, the tour guide hurriedly introduced Luwu to the heavyweight shops here.

After this trip, Luwu can be said to be a little disappointed. Of course, it may also be because it is not a trading day and the number of shops in operation is too small.

"Minerals? Sinnoh? Smuggling?" Three big question marks appeared on Luwu's head.

"You don't know this! The largest mining company in Sinnoh is the Coal Energy Company in Black Gold City, but they have signed an exclusive supply contract with the Great Violet Company. So it is very difficult to obtain minerals from Sinnoh through other channels." The tour guide explained.

The energy mining industry in the Hoenn region is not well developed, otherwise Dewen Company would not turn to the research of the ∞ energy project.

The Great Purple Violet Company is an energy company that focuses on electricity and has close ties with the Black Gold City in Sinnoh.

"But I still don't understand why such energy mineral smuggling is necessary in this black market? Wouldn't it be enough to directly connect with customers for such bulk transactions?" Lu Wu looked at the tour guide.

"It's called smuggling energy minerals, but in fact, there are many other minerals and stones attached. Their stalls here are selling these attachments."

Walking to the shops here, there are all kinds of things on display.

There are all kinds of antique fragments of unknown meaning, rocks of strange shapes, and some things whose specific materials cannot be identified.

At first glance, it looks like a waste dump.

"So?" Lu Wu didn't study much about these related knowledge, and he didn't have the soul of an old grandfather who knew everything about astronomy and geography. It seems unlikely to expect to find a bargain in such a shop.

"Don't underestimate this store. People often find good things here."

"Well, let's take a look!" Lu Wu didn't refuse.

The boss in the shop was not surprised by these customers who hoped to find good things in a pile of junk.

First of all, he had to state that there were indeed good things in it. After they separated the coal from these impurities, they were too lazy to deal with these things, so there was definitely no such thing as them screening them first and then selling them.

"Look around, if you want anything, just put it in this basin." The boss took out an iron basin from somewhere and handed it to Luwu.

Luwu was very interested in picking and choosing from this pile of stones at first. After all, if props like super stones and key stones are not matched with the correct Pokémon, they are no different from ordinary stones and can easily appear in such a pile of junk.

In such a selection, Luwu really found an interesting thing.

This is a broken piece of pottery fragments. Judging from the abstract pattern on it, it is likely to be a rubbing of an unknown totem.

At present, the archaeological community in the Pokémon world has done very little research on this type of Pokémon, but Luwu knows that once this type of Pokémon appears, it means that there are real historical relics, and most of them are very important historical events.

But the excitement soon passed. The fragment was too broken, and it was even difficult to tell which unknown totem the pattern on it belonged to.

But this also means a good news. If this batch of debris comes from the same batch of minerals mined, then it means that there must be some good things in this batch of minerals!

A quick scanAmong the sundries, a black mass quickly attracted his attention.

"What is this?" Lu Wu picked up the mass.

This is a piece of material similar to coal, but it is very integrated and the color is closer to the brown of soil.

It seems that there is some special adhesive that keeps this piece of charcoal in a relatively stable form.

"We don't know what this is either? It has strong water absorption. If it is dried, it can burn like coal, but the burning effect is not as good as coal." The boss saw that Lu Wu paid attention to an item and immediately began to explain.

He said a lot about how mysterious and strange this thing was.

"Do you want it? If you want it, take it for 50,000." The boss himself has actually seen this kind of strange mud block more than once in so many years of trading, but according to past experience, this kind of thing that is completely unclear in purpose will eventually be used as fire starter after being dried, which is also the only use they can find.

Of course, these do not affect his raising the price.

"Can it burn?" Lu Wu looked at the charcoal block in his hand strangely.

"Are you kidding me? You only know the function of burning. Fifty thousand for a piece of charcoal?" Lu Wu shook his head and was about to put down the charcoal.

"Brother, the thing in our hands is indeed a fire to play with, but it is different for you! You look quite young, don't you want to buy this strange thing back to study it?" The boss said with a smile.

"If you can't study it, it's useless to keep it?"

"Then how about your price?"

"500."

"Deal!" The boss was afraid that Lu Wu would regret it, so he quickly agreed.

Most of the expensive things in the Pokémon world are related to Pokémon. In this society where productivity has reached the utopian level, it is not too expensive to just meet people's daily needs.

Lu Wu did not change his face and silently put the peat block into the basin.

After searching for a while, Lu Wu settled the bill with several pieces of antique fragments and peat blocks.

"I hope you can study other uses of this thing as soon as possible, little brother." The boss said happily.

The tour guide at the side wanted to persuade Lu Wu not to buy this useless thing before, but was stopped by Lu Wu in a subtle way.

Lu Wu paid the bill with cash indifferently, put away the things and looked at the tour guide.

"It's almost done. There's nothing good to visit here today. Let's go directly! This way we can go to the Kaina City Market."

The two returned to Yongjila and teleported again under its moves and returned to the room.

However, this time it did not appear in the basement, but in the room. The middle-aged man has been sitting nearby waiting.

"How is it?" The man stood up and asked.

"It's okay, I bought a lot of things." The tour guide said.

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed in a subtle way, and the tour guide felt cold sweat on his back and shook his head slightly.

"Since you bought something, leave as soon as possible!" I don't know if the man saw the tour guide's little move. He took the initiative to open the door for Lu Wu and let Lu Wu leave.

Walking out of the house, Lu Wu turned his head to look at the situation in the room. The tour guide seemed to want to follow Lu Wu out, but the middle-aged man seemed to have something to say to him.

"Why are you still standing there? Keep being my tour guide! I paid you." Lu Wu said.

The tour guide was as if pardoned, and hurried to Lu Wu.

"Hey! Okay, I'll come right away. Brother, I'll come to see you again tonight." He responded to Lu Wu's words and said to the middle-aged man who seemed a little confused in the room.

"Okay, let's go to the old place tonight and have a drink." The middle-aged man had no choice but to say this.

Lu Wu walked out a few dozen steps with the tour guide, and said jokingly: "Why are your legs shaking?"

"Uh... I'm a little tired after a busy day."

"Why is your back sweating?"

"Uh... The weather is a little hot." The tour guide wiped the sweat from his forehead. After confirming that the middle-aged man had no next move, he gradually relaxed.
