Pokémon: Forced to Become a Dragon Master at the Beginning

Ralts has always been a very popular Pokémon, especially its final evolution form, Gardevoir, which has been sought after by countless Pokémon fans and topped the Pokémon wives list.

Xia Yu himself also likes Pokémon like Gardevoir very much, but he is not so crazy about it. He just likes it normally, not to the point of morbid obsession.

"Brother, this Lalulas has really good qualifications. It's good-looking and powerful. I'll sell it to you at a low price of only three hundred thousand."

When Xia Yu heard the price, he couldn't help but complain in his heart. He thought that he was being taken advantage of and how dare they ask for such a high price on the black market.

"You're treating me like a pig. Sorry, I don't have that much money." Xia Yu directly rejected the boss's sales pitch.

"Two hundred and ninety-eight thousand, I'll give you two thousand less," the boss advised.

"Even if you reduce the price to 29,800, I won't buy it." Xia Yu said and left the stall directly.

"Poor bastard, you wasted so much of my time."

…………

Xia Yu shuttled back and forth in the black market. As night fell, more and more people began to gather in the black market, and more people set up stalls. During this period, Xia Yu also discovered many Pokémon with good qualifications, but the highest was only the Overlord level, and he did not see any Pokémon above the Gym Master level.

This undoubtedly made Xia Yu a little disappointed. After asking around, he found out that an auction was going to be held today. Those Pokémon with good qualifications had already been taken away by the black market management and were ready to be auctioned at the auction.

There was no other way, Xia Yu could only wander around some prop stalls, hoping to pick up treasures.

"what."

When Xia Yu passed by a stall, he accidentally saw a plain stone, black as coal, but the information sent by the system made him unable to remain calm. Xia Yu paused and kept scanning the things on the stall.

He casually picked up a diving ball from the stall and asked casually, "How much do you sell this for?"

"30,000 for a diving ball."

"So expensive?" Xia Yu was shocked by the price. The diving ball in the official store was only 20,000 yuan each, but the price on the black market was even more expensive.

"You're new here, right? This is an anonymous Dive Ball." The stall owner explained, "All Poké Balls are numbered. Once you capture a Pokémon, the data inside will be automatically uploaded to the Trainer's Association as long as you connect to the Internet or go to the Pokémon Center for treatment. Only illegal Poké Balls like this one won't be recorded. As long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know what's in your Dive Ball. It can have many uses, and thirty thousand dollars a ball is considered cheap."

"Forget it, it's still too expensive." Xia Yu waved his hand. It was just a Poké Ball, there was no need to buy something so expensive. "How are your other things going to sell? Just name a price."

"These are the treasures left by my ancestors, and the price is not cheap." The stall owner said cautiously, he refused to quote directly, for fear of being missed by Xia Yu: "What do you want to buy, bring it over and I will give you a price."

Seeing that the stall owners were cautious, Xia Yu felt helpless. These vendors were like cunning humans and difficult to deal with.

"I'm just taking a look." Xia Yu picked up a strangely shaped stone and asked the stall owner, "How much is this stone?"

"This stone is not simple. It is a family heirloom passed down from my great-grandfather's generation. Look, this white stripe looks like a word "cloud". This is a stone with words on it. If you sell this stone outside, it will cost at least tens of thousands. Today I'll give you a discount of ten thousand." The stall owner made up a lie. People in their line of work are all full of nonsense. If they get something, they will say it is passed down from their ancestors.

"It's too expensive. What about this one?" Xia Yu pretended to pick up the black stone next to him and asked, "What about this stone?"

The stall owner frowned at Xia Yu. He found that Xia Yu basically only asked the price but didn't buy anything. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Brother, if you are sincere in buying, I will give you a sincere offer. I found this thing in Thunder Mountain. You know Thunder Mountain, right? It was the battlefield between Zapdos and Thunder God. A lot of top-grade Thunder Stones were produced there. This thing doesn't look good, but maybe it's a top-grade Thunder Stone when you cut it open. At least fifty thousand."

Xia Yu's heart tightened. This stall owner was quite knowledgeable. This black stone was exactly the same as he said. There was indeed an S-level Thunder Stone inside!

It's just that this S-level thunder stone is wrapped in stone, and if Xia Yu didn't have the system, he wouldn't be able to detect it. However, the more Xia Yu wanted it, the less he cared. He gently put the black stone down and couldn't help but teasing: "I can see that the things you have are all treasures. If you come across them, they are worth tens of thousands. I really want to buy something, so you should give me a real price, don't lie."

"what would you like?"

"Are there any ordinary Poké Balls without a name? No diving balls." Xia Yu asked.

"Yes, ten thousand each." The stall owner rummaged around in his stall, found a red and white Poké Ball and threw it to Xia Yu.

"So expensive?" Xia Yu's face darkened. An ordinary Poké Ball costs five thousand yuan, but this Poké Ball costs ten thousand yuan, which is exactly double the price.

"This is the price in our market. We do business with integrity and the prices are honest," said the stall owner.

"Okay, give me one." After Xia Yu took the Poké Ball, he looked at the S-level Thunder Stone on the stall and asked casually, "Can you make this stone cheaper?"

"Fifty thousand is already the lowest price." The stall owner had no intention of lowering the price, and said eloquently: "Think about it, if an S-level thunder stone is found, there is no S-level thunder stone on the market now, and the price of one is tens of millions, fifty thousand can become tens of millions, you can make a fortune directly, and you still think it's expensive? Young man, do you know how to play all in? If you win, you will get a young model from the club, and if you lose, you will go to work in the entertainment industry."

Xia Yu's mind was filled with black lines. As expected, those who can sell things in the underground black market are quite good at talking. "If you can really get an S-level thunder stone, would you still sell it? I really want to buy it, so give me a fair price. Five thousand or not?"

"Brother? Is this your Dragon Slaying Sword? At least 48,000."

"Impossible, the most I can offer is 6,000. There are so many stones on Thunder Mountain, you can just pick one and sell it for tens of thousands, how is that possible?"

"Little brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. My stone is different from ordinary stones. Experts have examined it and said that there is a high probability that it contains thunder stone. So, if you really want to buy it, I will give you a lower price of 45,000."

…………

After a round of bargaining, Xia Yu was already talking until his mouth was dry, and finally set the price at 38,000. In fact, Xia Yu felt that the price could be lower, but the bargaining between the two was attracting more and more people. In order to avoid any further complications, Xia Yu chose to trade directly.

Both the stall owner and Xia Yu were very happy. The stall owner felt that he had made a fortune, while Xia Yu was delighted to have obtained a top-grade thunder stone.

Watching Xia Yu walk away, the stall owner took out another equally black stone from his bag and placed it in the empty space, grinning: "Fool, you still want to get the Thunder Stone. I have plenty of stones like this."
