Elf Trader: My trump card is the Light/Dark Mantis.

"What I'm selling is Sora, a cosmic spirit from beyond the heavens, the initial form of the ice and snow god Axia!"

Although it had been announced beforehand.

But Jiang Gu still gave another introduction.

"This Pokémon has the potential for two Mega Evolutions!"

"In its final form, I can guarantee that it will possess the power to crush even a level one legendary beast!"

"Furthermore, even if Sora were to evolve into Axia through natural growth, she would possess a powerful attack with 150 power and no side effects—Arctic Storm."

"And a special move that instantly kills the opponent, Extreme Freeze!"

"And once they undergo Mega Evolution like the Steeljaw Shark and Logiras that I attacked earlier..."

"Axia has become the Empress. Axia..."

"This spirit will reveal its true power!"

"Possesses the Frostfire Soul, capable of restoring 1/6 of the damage dealt as life force, power 150 points!"

"Ice-Piercing Heaven-Shattering Strike that ignores defense-boosting effects!"

"And the Frozen Throne..."

Jiang Gu slowly introduced it.

List all of Queen Axia's terrifying moves!

Indeed, this Pokémon's skill level far surpasses that of the gods in the Pokémon world!

With each word he spoke, the expressions of the ice-type powerhouses on the screen grew more eager, and their breathing became increasingly heavy!

Just based on Manager Jiang's description of the strength of the Ice and Snow God before its evolution, these people were filled with desire and excitement!

As for the so-called complete form—the Empress—Axia was extremely coveted by several ice-type powerhouses!

Then, seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Jiang Gu immediately shouted loudly.

"Therefore, I hereby declare this auction officially open!"

"The starting bid for the Elf Sora is 1 billion Alliance Coins, and the minimum increment is 10 million Alliance Coins!"

Jiang Gu said loudly.

He himself was also slightly excited, after all, the most expensive Pokémon sold so far was only 2 million!

But this time, the starting price for Sora at auction was more than five times the previous highest sales price!

Moreover, Jiang Gu really wasn't prepared to sell the God of Ice and Snow for a mere 10 billion.

The final transaction price will be at least three times this reserve price!

After Jiang Gu finished his announcement, the atmosphere in the video conference became somewhat subdued for a moment.

After all, it's 10 billion!

For the powerful figures present, even the top figures in the alliance, this was a huge number!

They did not act rashly.

But in the end, Kona couldn't hold back any longer...

She spoke directly.

"I'll pay 15 billion!"

Kona was previously beaten up by the Celestial Spirits, which caused her to lose her position as Elite Four member!

Lorelei doesn't care about empty fame, but as a trainer, she only has a thirst for victory!

Therefore, I feel extremely bad about the previous failure!

Lorelei actually saw through 680 very clearly. It was precisely because Rika possessed a Cosmic Pokémon that she made a move that shocked the world and shamed herself: Lisabubu, a Gym Leader-level Pokémon, defeated six opponents in one go!

Kona knew perfectly well that even if the Cosmic Spirits were very strong!

He himself has become a laughing stock in the league!

To wash away the shame, and to improve the team's strength!

She was willing to pay a huge price!

Kona went so far as to raise the auction starting price by 5 million!

They just wanted to bring this deity into their possession...

However, the other powerful members of the alliance present simply watched Lorelei's anxious appearance calmly. They all knew that this Ice-type Elite Four member had lost his mind!

You think you can get this Sola for 15 billion?

This must be a dream!

Jiang Gu remained calm, merely glancing approvingly at Kona.

"Thank you for the bid, Ms. Kona!"

"1.5 billion Alliance Coins! Is there a higher price?"

Jiang Gu was in a good mood.

With someone taking the lead, the competition will soon become fierce!

And just as he had guessed.

Immediately, Uncle Liu couldn't sit still any longer and spoke up.

"I'll pay 17 billion!"

They also don't skimp on the price, only adding the lowest possible price...

Bonnie did not hesitate afterward.

"20 million!"

Michael and Goku exchanged a glance and immediately made the decision!

"We are willing to offer 30 billion Alliance Coins!"

"I hope my colleagues will do me the honor of joining me."

They said it seriously.

30 billion yuan! That means Mikoto and Daigo each have to bear 15 billion yuan in costs.

This is a considerable sum for both the former and current Hoenn champions!

However, in order to prepare for the calamity that might be brought by the divine beast that Water Wutong might control...

They resolutely raised the price to an alarming number!

Three times the base price!

Three billion yuan!

Chapter 153: A Frenzied Battle

Daigo and Michael spoke sincerely.

"We've discovered that Archie, the leader of a villainous organization, is plotting a massive conspiracy in the Hoenn region!" The two of them immediately shared their findings with the people on the video call.

Regarding the future of the Hoenn region, it is very likely to be attacked by Groudon and Kyogre!

Therefore, Daigo and Michael are determined to get Axia!

The other auctioneers present, being members of the alliance, all wore worried expressions.

Judging from this, it's clear that Daigo and Michael desperately need divine help.

The Hoenn region is indeed in danger in the future!

Despite their concerns, none of the people present were prepared to back down because of this.

"Once we get the Pokémon, we'll make our move when Archie is causing trouble in the Hoenn region!" Lorelei promised first.

Uncle Liu chuckled.

"You don't need to worry about that. As fellow members of the League, I will never stand idly by if the Hoenn region is in trouble!" Bonnie, the Ice-type Elite Four member, said bluntly.

"In that case, I wonder if you could give me the chance to buy the god?" "I'm also from the Hoenn region."

"And compared to the two of you, one of you is obsessed with collecting stones and the other is obsessed with grand competitions, I think I'm more dedicated!" she said, her words laced with barbs.

But surprisingly, Daigo and Michael were speechless for a moment.

While the two could refute Luffy and Lorelei's promises—even if they knew that Axia would support the Hoenn region in the future, Archie couldn't possibly have known in advance when Groudon and Kyogre would cause trouble!

By the time people from other regions arrive, the area may already be devastated! As for Bonney's statement, Daigo and Wallace really couldn't refute it... These two champions really didn't handle the political affairs of the Hoenn region as seriously as this Elite Four member.

Let Bonnie get this elf, it might actually be a good idea.

However, Daigo and Michael smiled awkwardly, but showed no intention of giving up.

Who wouldn't want a god?

The high price paid for Axia was for the greater good, but also for personal gain! "Since no one is willing to compromise," the two said, changing the subject. "Then let's compete fairly." Jiang Gu, however, had an expression that suggested he had expected this; he had carefully considered his choices for the auction participants.
