Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 13 Fortunately, Natsume-san doesn’t have such a bad taste.

Viridian Forest, on the exit road.

"Nibi City is ahead."

Xiaozhi looked at the tall buildings not far away, his eyes full of enthusiasm.

"After being a savage for so long, I can finally take a good bath!"

On the side, Xiaoxia's eyes revealed excitement.

"Do you need a guide?"

A steady voice came from the small mound below.

A few people looked in the direction and found that at the bottom of the small slope, there was a middle-aged man with a beard, guarding a stall full of stones.

The middle-aged man wore a thick red hat that covered his eyes, so his appearance could not be seen.

The middle-aged man looked directly at Natsume, the only adult in the group.

"Give me fifty and I'll let you be your tour guide."

Natsume reached out and took it.

"Fifty is too little, I usually only have 500."

The middle-aged man realized something was strange halfway through his words, so he shut his mouth and looked at Natsume in silence.

"How about this? I'll buy a few rocks from you, and you can be our guide for two days for free?"

Natsume recognized that the middle-aged man in front of him was Brock's father, Takenori. If he remembered correctly, Pikachu's growing strength was closely related to this man.

Since this involves studying an S-level research topic, Natsume cannot afford to be vague.

If it can't affect the plot, try not to affect the plot.

"Haha, of course that's fine, but only if you buy enough."

Wu Neng smiled generously, made way, and displayed the stone on the counter behind him to Natsume.

"Hey, hey, hey, do you really want to buy it? He looks so unreliable."

Xiaoxia leaned close to Natsume's ear and whispered.

"That young man, please don't say bad things about me in private."

Wu Neng looked at Xiaoxia.

“Who is the boy!!”

"Oh, Xiaoxia, forget it."

Xiaozhi held back Xiaoxia who was about to run away.

On the other side, Natsume had already started jumping.

Nibi City is rich in stones. In addition to some stones with collection value, other Pokémon-related prop stones are also produced.

He stood in front of the display case, took a quick look, and felt something was strange.

There are so many cracks on these stones, as if they were cut with lightning.

"What I sell here are all raw stones. There's a good chance that some good things will come out of them!"

Seeing Natsume start to choose, Wu Neng said seriously:

"These ones priced at 1000 can only yield items like Fire Stones and Leaf Stones. I recommend the ones priced at 5000. If you're lucky, you might even get a fossil!"

"Fossils? Aren't they just collectibles? How can they compare to those evolutionary stones?"

On the side, Xiaoxia asked Wu Neng in confusion.

"You can sell it to those idiot researchers. You'll make a killing without exception!"

Wu Neng said without hesitation.

Natsume: "."

"What are these stones?"

Natsume keenly noticed that underneath these raw stones, which were priced at thousands of yuan, there were some small stones, and the prices on top were extremely cheap, mostly ranging from 50 to 100 yuan.

It’s almost like a free gift, the most common red and white ball is only 200.

"Hahaha, these are just for fun, there's nothing inside."

"really?"

Natsume glanced at the Rotom in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Takenoshi beside him.

Seeing that Natsume didn't believe him, Wu Neng laughed, patted the other party's shoulder, and said with a promise:
"If you can find any valuable stones in there, I'll be your tour guide for free!"

"It's a word."

As Natsume said this, he began to search among the rubble at the bottom.

"Young man, don't blame me for not reminding you. These are the ones I left behind. If you don't have a sharp eye like mine, you won't be able to find them."

Natsume didn't reply. He didn't know if his eyes were vicious or not, but Rotom's X-rays were definitely sharp enough.

“This one.”

As soon as Wu Neng finished speaking, Natsume picked up a palm-sized stone.

"Come on out, Geodude, use Rock Smash!"

Wu Neng didn't waste any time and released a small Geodude.

"Don't worry, my little Geodude has been professionally trained and won't harm anything inside."

Wu Neng added.

"boom!"

With a slight vibration sound, the stone turned into powder, and a faint blue luster emerged from the powder.

"Water Stone!"

Xiaoxia recognized the stone immediately. "You're really lucky."

Wu Neng seemed to be a little embarrassed.

The price of this raw stone is only 60, but the market price of Water Stone is around 3000.

Wu Neng coughed twice and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Natsume threw another fist-sized stone at his feet with a price tag of 120 on it.

"Open this one too."

"Are you sure? The first time you open a stone is free, and thereafter it's a fee of 50 each time."

Natsume said nothing, but just kept searching in the rubble, throwing small stones one after another at Wu Neng's feet.

In a short while, more than twenty fist-sized pieces of rubble of various sizes had piled up at his feet.

"Ugh"

Wu Neng shook his head, thinking that Natsume was just a fool.

It was a great bargain to find a piece of Water Stone in the pile of rubble that he had selected.

"26 in total, charge 1300. Geodude, use Rock Smash!"

Wu Neng had no intention of stopping Natsume's behavior. The other party had just picked up a water stone, and it was a good opportunity for him to recover his health.

"Boom boom boom!"

After several roars, the ground was covered with rock powder.

Colorful lights flickered in the powder.

"So many yellow stones, red stones, and green stones, you're worthy of being Natsume-san!"

"Stupid, those are the Thunder Stone, the Fire Stone, and the Leaf Stone!"

Xiaoxia didn't bother to correct herself. Her eyes seemed to be glued shut as she stared at the pile of colorful stones on the ground.

Hmm. If I'm not mistaken, there are four Water Stones.

"what?"

Wu Neng was stunned.

These gravels are the scraps that he knocks off every time he puts his goods on the market, and they have been accumulating for several years.

There are actually so many valuable items here that he missed! ?
Wu Neng looked at the colorful stones on the ground and felt his heart bleeding.

"Luckily, Natsume-san doesn't have the same bad taste as you, otherwise he would have missed it all."

Xiaozhi exclaimed sincerely from the side.

Wu Neng: "."

"Well, I'm closing the shop today."

Seeing that Natsume still wanted to pick from the pile of rubble inside, Wu Neng's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he quickly rolled up his bedding to cover his pile of stones.

Seeing this, Natsume was a little surprised. He clearly saw that the hillside seemed to have been hollowed out and there should be a lot of rubble.

On the side, Xiaoxia stood up and clapped her hands and said:
"In that case, uncle, shouldn't you also keep your promise?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Neng's body stiffened.

I almost forgot about this. I really lost both the wife and the army.

"Okay, uncle, please take me to the Nibi City Gym as soon as possible!"

Xiaozhi's excited voice sounded.

Hearing Xiaozhi's voice, Wu Neng paused, then looked up at Xiaozhi, and then looked at the Pikachu on his shoulder.

"Pikapi?"

Pikachu also looked at Wu Neng in confusion.

After a while, Wu Neng said seriously:

"You can't beat the guys from the Nibi City Gym."

"Who knows what you can do if you haven't tried it? I'm very confident!"

Xiaozhi patted his chest and said confidently.

"I'll take you to the Pokémon Center in Nibi City so you can rest up."

Wu Neng shook his head, turned around and walked ahead.

"Let's go straight to the gym. Why are you pulling my ears, Xiaoxia?"

"If you don't rest, we still have to rest, right Natsume?"

Behind him, Natsume collected the colorful stones on the ground and turned to look forward.

"I also think it's better for us to rest first."

This time, he reaped a great harvest.

Water Stone x4, Fire Stone x3, Thunder Stone x2, Leaf Stone x3. Probably because this place is close to Mt. Yuejian, the most Moon Stones were found, a total of 6 pieces.

In addition to these common evolution stones, there is also an awakening stone, a round stone, and an unchanging stone.

What remains are some attribute gems that can increase the power of moves.

After counting the extra prop stones in the system backpack, Natsume looked forward and the three people had already walked away.

Looking at Wu Neng's back at the front, Natsume glanced sideways slightly.

If I remember correctly, it was the other party who taught Ash how to make Pikachu stronger after he was frustrated at the Nibe City Gym.

As far as Natsume knows, there have indeed been relevant reports in the most cutting-edge research.

But that kind of increase is limited and it is impossible to reach Pikachu's future height.
