After understanding the condition of the Death God Coffins, Natsuhiko entered Zhuqing City.
As soon as he stepped in,
he felt the breath of concrete and steel characteristic of a big city rush towards him.
As a tech metropolis, Zhuqing City is most famous for its TV stations, large and small companies, yet Zhuqing Dojo feels almost insignificant, even less famous than the Pokemon Academy situated in the city.
Enjoying high status, it might just be a kind of sorrow.
However, even as a tech city, Zhuqing City still has a significant Pokémon atmosphere.
This city does not restrict the release of Pokémon, so on the street, there are many passersby accompanied by Pokémon.
With careful observation, it can be found that most of these Pokémon are Rock Type, Steel Type, and Ground Type, which has a lot to do with the geographical environment of Zhuqing City.
Finding the black market was not difficult for an "old hand" like Natsuhiko.
It wasn't long before,
he appeared in the black market of Zhuqing City, wrapped in a black robe, wearing a mask.
The black market of Zhuqing City was as big as he expected, and from some overheard conversations, Natsuhiko learned.
It turned out that the black market in Zhuqing City not only includes people from Zhuqing City, but Steel City next door does not have its own black market, so if one wants to trade things, they must come to Zhuqing City.
Moreover, the location of the black market is inside a certain mountain.
It is said that a certain organization spent a huge price to excavate it, so the rent for shops within the black market is quite high.
Accordingly, prices within the black market are also a bit higher.
The reason it can still attract so many people is that this black market produces all sorts of large and small minerals, including various Rock-type Pokémon items, such as some Evolution Stones, Hard Stones, and various weather-effect-boosting rocks.
As well as a large number of Rock Type, Steel Type, and Ground Type Pokémon.
It is precisely because of these features that the black market of Zhuqing City can continue to survive.
However, Natsuhiko was somewhat curious about which faction was behind Zhuqing City.
Hunter Guild?
Or... Galaxy Team?
The Galaxy Team is the largest underground force in the Sinnoh Region.
But unlike Rocket Team, Ocean Team, and Magma Team, the leader of the Galaxy Team, Chi Ri, is a typical misanthrope who aims to control Dialga and Palkia to destroy the current world and create a new one.
Of course, Chi Ri just simply wants to destroy this world.
Creating a new world was something his subordinates added themselves.
Upon learning of Chi Ri's true goal, the Galaxy Team fell apart.
Entering the black market,
Natsuhiko still had many things to do.
First, to sell most of the Wild Pokémon in the filled Pokeballs he carried.
Most were caught in the Alternate Space, with generally strong capabilities.
Except for Tyrantrum, Yanmega, Cherrim, Froslass, Abomasnow, which he kept for use, all others were sold to the Pokémon Store.
It must be said, the number of Pokémon Natsuhiko currently carries is indeed quite high.
Even if some aren't fed using Energy Blocks, they still consume a large amount of resources daily.
Therefore, he urgently needed to find a place to foster them.
In this way, at least the food aspect wouldn't have to be solely borne by him.
Cherrim, Abomasnow, such Grass-type Pokémon, can find food in the forest themselves and maintain their needs through photosynthesis.
After selling off these Pokémon in droves, Natsuhiko's purse swelled instantly; considering what Flint helped sell and what was left before plus some miscellaneous items, his net worth soared to sixteen million.
That means, just from Wild Pokémon, he earned a full seven million.
It's understandable why Pokémon hunters make so much money.
And this doesn't count the Pokémon Items he acquired, like the Miracle Seed.
Nor does it count the large number of Tree Fruits he collected.
If these items were all sold, Natsuhiko estimated his cash on hand would exceed twenty million Poke Dollars.
This shows just how profitable pioneering can be.
Especially in Regigigas's Alternate Space, a place perpetually untouched by humans and purely natural, where the strength of Wild Pokémon is relatively high; a little effort can lead to significant earnings.
Without even counting Tyrantrum, Yanmega, Cherrim, the Death God Coffin, and the Death God Plate, if these were included in the price, his money would undoubtedly exceed thirty million Poke Dollars, possibly even more.
After all, whether Tyrantrum or Yanmega, both are extinct Pokémon nowadays and would certainly cause a stir if they appeared.
If operated correctly, spread well, and an auction is organized, no wealthy person would refuse to keep two Ancient Pokémon in their backyard.
Moreover, they are both evidently majestic, practical, and well-trained Ancient Pokémon.
As for Dragapult...
Ha—
If Natsuhiko dared to think about it, do you believe it would turn around and burn Natsuhiko with a single Dracoflame?
It is an ancestor.
To be worshiped.
Of course, the value of Dragapult is immeasurable.
It's both the final evolution stage of a Quasi-God Pokémon and possesses strength that surpasses the Elite Trainer Level; such Pokémon...
Ahem.
Natsuhiko retracted such unrealistic thoughts; fifteen million Poke Dollars seems like a lot, but for him now, it's barely enough.
During the journey in the Alternate Space, several of his Pokémon's strengths improved considerably; all the Special Level Energy Blocks were almost exhausted.
He can now make Advanced Energy Blocks, but Special Level Energy Blocks...
That's really not something one can just figure out.
So he still needs to buy some as backup, while also purchasing some Special Level Energy Block recipes to try himself later.
The only advantage is that he doesn't need to buy materials.
Apart from these,
there are still things on him to sell.
Four Miracle Seeds, three portions of Powerful Vanilla, two portions of Spiritual Vanilla, three portions of White Vanilla, all collected by Cherrim and the others for him, among which the Miracle Seed's price is undoubtedly the highest, while these vanillas are much cheaper.
But these vanilla items, although disposable, if used correctly, can produce miraculous effects in battles.
Moreover, in the Volcanic Forging Space of Regigigas, a small piece of Ten Thousand Year Ice, a high-hardness Metal Film, and a piece of the Heart of the Earth were found.
Although these aren't Pokémon Items, their price will undoubtedly far exceed most Pokémon Items due to their functions that some Pokémon Items cannot compare with, plus their rarity.
Ten Thousand Year Ice can be used to cultivate Ice-type Pokémon, and Uncle Liu's Swinub is the best proof.
For the high-hardness Metal Film, Natsuhiko plans to coat Doublade with it, rendering its hardness comparable to Registeel, significantly increasing its sharpness and becoming a solid, robust entity!
The Heart of the Earth can be kept to cultivate Rock Type and Ground Type Pokémon.
But these three items are excellent, Natsuhiko won't sell them, he plans to sell the palm-sized piece of Thousand-Year Ice obtained from Froslass.
Even though it's just palm-sized, its value remains very high.
It would significantly benefit the growth of Ice-type Pokémon, an invaluable good material.
Had Natsuhiko not acquired the Ten Thousand Year Ice, he might have been reluctant to let go of this piece.
But selling this directly to the Pokémon Item Store would be a significant loss.
Its price would be high only to those who need it.
So, nothing would be more suitable than tossing it into an auction.
Simultaneously, he could also purchase some items at the auction.
For instance,
as he approached the auction house, Dragapult gave him a rather intense reaction.
