Chapter 115 The Origin of Dragonite
Zhiqin Town is a seaside town on the coast. To the west is the South Padia Sea, adjacent to the Baking Desert, the largest desert in the Padia region, and the main target of Luo Mu's trip, Caoguo Lake.
In addition to the seaside town-style buildings, the most famous place here is the Zhiqin Market located in the center of the town.
Merchants and vendors from all over Padia gathered in Ziqin Market, selling a wide variety of goods.
But if we talk about the most distinctive thing about Zhiqin Market, it must be the small auction unique to the market here.
The auction here needs to be filed with the management committee of Zhiqin Market in advance, and they will then arrange a suitable venue to hold it.
It would be troublesome for ordinary people, but it was very easy for Luo Mu.
He happened to know someone from the Zhiqin Market Management Committee.
Once while traveling, he rescued a severely dehydrated victim in the dry desert. At first glance, he looked like a victim who was lost in the desert and had exhausted his resources.
The victim was the middle-aged man with a smile in front of Luo Mu.
The man's name is Terry. He wears subtle gold-rimmed glasses and looks like a cultural person.
Terry took off his glasses, picked up the magnifying glass in his hand and carefully looked at the cotton wool brought by Luo Mu. He gently touched it with his carefully gloved right hand, with a look of admiration on his face: "It is indeed a unique treasure from the Galar region. The cotton wool is as white and fluffy as clouds, and you can tell how beautiful and lustrous the threads made from it are.”
After a moment, Terry raised his head and looked at Luo Mu: "Mr. Luo Mu, regarding the auction method of these cotton wool, I think this method is good."
Terry wrote a few big words on a piece of white paper and handed it to Luo Mu.
Taking the white paper, Luo Mu lowered his head and read aloud: "The auction will be divided into four stages?"
Terry nodded and said: "White fluffy cotton wool is a relatively rare commodity in the Padia region. Many businessmen and wealthy people will be attracted to it."
"You have exactly ten pounds of cotton wool. I want to divide it into one pound, one pound, three pounds and five pounds for auction. This method can not only heat up the atmosphere, but also achieve high prices at auction."
"The starting price for the first two kilograms is 4,000 alliance coins. The starting prices for the three and five kilograms are 5,000 and 6,000 alliance coins respectively. What do you think?"
Terry looked at Luo Mu cautiously, fearing that he would see a look of displeasure on his face.
For him, Luo Mu was his savior, and Terry would not let go of such a good opportunity to repay him.
With a few more pallets, the selling price can easily exceed the price of 6,000 alliance coins per kilogram.
Luo Mu nodded indifferently. For him, it would be fine to sell six thousand alliance coins per kilogram in a package. It would also be fine to generate extra income from the auction, as long as he could make enough money from the sale.
No matter how you calculate it, he will not lose money.
When Terry smiled with relief, Luo Mu suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
Since I entrusted the management committee to auction the white fluffy cotton wool, there should be a handling fee, such as a percentage of the transaction amount.
Luo Mu looked at Terry in confusion: "Don't you take a commission?"
"How could it be!" Terry waved his hands quickly and said from the bottom of his heart: "You are my savior. I am very satisfied if you can help me. How could I do such an unscrupulous thing like taking a commission!"
Because Terry's expression was very firm, as if he would jump out of here if Luo Mu insisted on them taking a commission, Luo Mu had no choice but to accept Terry's kindness.
Even if this is only the second floor.
After completing the handover with Terry and confirming that the white fluffy cotton batting will be auctioned at the Zhiqin market tomorrow, Luo Mu declined Terry's invitation. He now has more important things to do than visiting Ziqin Town and going to the coast. Business to do.
Luo Mu was not worried that the money from the cotton auction would be stolen by Terry, and he had no intention of staying in Zhiqin Town until the auction was over.
Let’s not talk about whether Terry is that kind of person. Even if he really did something like that, we have to ask Luo Mu and his Pokémon whether they agree with it.
He has the ability to deal with all power and shady oppression, and there is no need to worry about anyone playing tricks.
While it was still early, when he walked to the outskirts of Zhiqin Town, Luo Mu summoned Kuailong and flew directly in the direction of Daguo Lake.
Starting from Zhiqin Town, it takes about 40 minutes to see the outline of Daguo Lake with the flying speed of Kuailong.
Stroking the back of Kuailong, who was obviously excited, Luo Mu smiled and said, "I haven't been to Daguo Lake for a long time. I wonder how Haakosaurus and the others are doing now."
"Boooo~"
Kuailong responded expectantly, and even the flying speed that had easily surpassed the flying bird became much faster.
Luo Mu still clearly remembers that day. It should be shortly after he rescued Terry. When he finished his training in the baking desert and went to Cauldron Lake to find the last Pokémon in the team, he was in Cauldron. Hu met Kuailong, or rather it was when it was still an elf egg.
Although the Cauldron Lake in the game is filled with Mysterosaurus and Hakosaurus, their numbers in the real Cauldron Lake are not only rare, but also extremely difficult to find.
Kuailong, who was still an elf egg at that time, was jointly guarded by the three Harker dragons, because Kuailong was the child of their leader, Kuailong, but the leader of Kuailong never returned to Cauldron Lake after one day's outing, and was completely lost. news.
Luo Mu's target was the most conspicuous of the three Haxorus. Its pink body was particularly conspicuous in the cauldron lake, and was directly discovered by Luo Mu who entered the cauldron lake to look for a suitable partner.
Although the pink Haxorus will become green after the evolution of Dragonite, Luo Mu has not yet given up the opportunity to capture a rare Pokémon because of the appearance of the Pokémon.
He took Swampert to invite the pink Haxorus to a capture battle. Generally speaking, wild Pokémon will have several different reactions to the trainer's capture battle invitation.
Wild Pokémon that do not reject being captured will often accept the challenge happily. Wild Pokémon that reject being captured will most likely choose to leave and run away. There are also wild Pokémon that rush up and beat the trainer to his knees, so that the other party cannot say the word "capture".
Pink Haxorus is the fourth type. It saw the power of Swampert at a glance and chose to ask Luo Mu and Swampert for help.
Only then did Luo Mu realize why the Haxorus, which could obviously live underwater, would float on the surface so blatantly.
It turned out that several Gyarados in the Big Pot Lake had set their sights on the island in the lake where they took care of the Dragonite leader's Pokémon eggs, because the waters where the island in the lake was located were the territory of Gyarados and others.
This was originally the territory of the Dragonite leader, but because of the disappearance of the Dragonite leader, these Gyarados, who were still in their prime, occupied this place.
Although the three Haxorus were late-blooming Pokémon, they were not good at fighting. They always had an attitude of avoiding fighting if they could, and the Dragonite leader would come forward to fight if they could not avoid it.
With the help of Haxorus, Luo Mu knew that the Gyarados were surrounding the other two Haxorus and the Pokémon eggs on the island in the lake, ready to attack at any time.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Mu agreed to the request of the pink Haxorus and helped them drive the Gyarados away from the island in the lake.
After all, if the Hakrons saw that he was so powerful, they would choose to throw themselves into his arms. Wouldn't it be a good thing for them to follow him?
Although the end of the story was that the Hakrons knew that they were unable to protect the child of the leader of the Dragonite in the Cauldron Lake, and entrusted the elf egg to Luo Mu.
But Luo Mu did not hide the existence of the three Hakrons from Dragonite, so Dragonite was very much looking forward to meeting the three Hakrons that he had never met but felt very close to.
Soon, the outline of the Cauldron Lake appeared in the vision of Luo Mu and Dragonite.
As the largest lake in the Padiya region, the Cauldron Lake covers a very large area.
Surrounded by mountains, the Cauldron Lake looks like a huge cauldron from the sky, hence the name Cauldron Lake. There are islands of varying sizes floating on the lake, and the largest island even has a forest and a hill on it.
Looking from the northeast side, there is a waterfall pouring down from the Frost-smeared Mountain, the largest snow-capped mountain group in the Padiya region. The waterfall is called the Cauldron Waterfall, which is one of the ten scenic spots in Padiya.
If you are lucky, you can also see the wonder of carp leaping over the dragon gate at the Big Pot Waterfall.
The water flow near the waterfall is very turbulent, and ordinary water-type Pokémon have a certain probability of getting into trouble when approaching there, so the wild Pokémon near the waterfall are often much stronger.
The west and north of the Big Pot Lake are connected to the Padiya Sea, and occasionally wild Pokémon in the sea will mistakenly enter the Big Pot Lake, and even some Pokémon in the shape of dolphins will occasionally appear here.
Luo Mu rode on Dragonite, looking down constantly, trying to find the location of the island in the lake in his memory.
It has been a while since I came here, and it is really difficult to find a small island in the lake in this huge Big Pot Lake.
In his field of vision, there are often several white lines swimming at extremely fast speeds on the surface of the Big Pot Lake. These white lines shuttle randomly on the surface of the lake, tearing through the misty white mist floating on the lake like clouds and mist.
Luo Mu knew very well that it was the torpedoes that made the noise. Trainers who flashed in the Big Pot Lake always had bad luck with these Pokémon, whose scientific name is Light Cod.
Commanding Dragonite to lower its flight altitude, Luo Mu made a new discovery.
Occasionally, on the calm surface of the Big Pot Lake, some small Pokémon that seemed to be injured and weak would appear. These Pokémon looked like fish sushi, but they were pure Dragon + Water Pokémon.
This Pokémon was called Milon. It camouflaged itself by inflating its throat sac to help the huge shadow below it hunt. It was a rare Pokémon of different species that cooperated with each other to hunt.
