Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

This was indeed unexpected.

Xia Yan tried to control the various images on the screen to carefully examine the appearance of the fossil.

As he flipped through the pages, his surprise grew stronger.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it; it's truly astonishing.

This fossil, tightly embedded within the stone, with only a faint outline and pattern visible, if he wasn't mistaken, was actually a...

Doron Messia!

Its triangular outline, resembling an airplane, combined with the size of the fossil, is also similar to the size of a Dorgonmesia.

Having witnessed the Regigigas tectonic plate movement, Xia Yan was not particularly surprised that a Dracomecia fossil could be unearthed in the Sinnoh region.

Perhaps the seller didn't even find it in the Sinnoh region.

Moreover, that dragon scale from before was also quite extraordinary.

"I believe everyone has seen what this fossil looks like. The starting price is 800,000 Alliance Coins, and each bid must be at least 50,000 Alliance Coins higher!"

But this time, as the host finished speaking, the auction room became unusually quiet.

No one attempted to be the first to bid.

The main issue is that the authenticity and age of this fossil, the nature of the spirit embedded within it, and even whether it is a spirit at all are still open to debate.

Its abrupt appearance makes it difficult to gauge its price.

The Sinnoh region is rich in fossils, and you can see many different kinds of fossils, including many ancient Pokémon fossils.

However, where there are fossils, there are also people who forge them, and there are quite a few of them who specialize in deceiving wealthy people who want to collect fossils to display at home to enhance their status and class.

Initially, this method was quite profitable because unless one was a professional archaeologist, it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the fossils through close observation and analysis.

Furthermore, those who create fake fossils understand that it is easier to identify the known types of fossils they want to imitate. So they specialize in making those obscure fossils, or even fabricating fossils they have never heard of, in order to attract attention.

It once caused quite a stir in the Sinnoh region's collecting circles.

But now...

They're not fools; how could they easily fall for this kind of trick again?

So most people are waiting.

What are you waiting for?

We're waiting for an "authority" in the fossil community to speak out.

If the real big shots have spoken up, it means that the fossil is quite credible; otherwise, there's no need to consider it.

The spirit on that fossil was something I'd never seen before.

Inside the private room.

Xia Yan gently patted Doronbaruto's head, and judging from its reaction, he could roughly determine the authenticity of the fossil.

But clearly everyone is watching and waiting. If one person makes a bid, someone else might follow suit. He's not in a hurry, so he'll just wait and see.

Let’s turn our attention back to the dragon scales from before, and the purple powder that was peeled off from them.

"what is this?"

“Baruya…” Doronbarut reluctantly withdrew his gaze and explained.

'Dragon Crystal Powder, but it's just very pure dragon crystal, no worse than the ones on Regidrago.'

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan showed a hint of surprise.

"And what about this dragon scale?"

"Baruya".

"According to what we called it back then, it should be called 'Twilight Dragon Scale'."

Many of Draco's memories come from Reginald, so he is quite knowledgeable about Dragon-type Pokémon.

"Twilight Dragon Scales?"

"An aging dragon, sensing its impending death, gathers all its energy into the shed scales of its reverse scale. These scales contain even higher and purer energy, which is why they condense into dragon crystal powder—a manifestation of energy crystallization."

An aging dragon-type spirit, its final creation...

Xia Yan gently touched the rugged but very hard scales on his hand and sighed with a somewhat complicated expression.

"The Dragon Emperor did not die a natural death..."

A truly powerful dragon, when it senses that its life is about to end, probably wouldn't silently wait to die, given the mindset of a strong being.

To voluntarily end one's own life and leave something for future generations is more in line with the pride of a dragon-type spirit.

Even worse, some people carry out a massacre before they die, which not only leaves them with a bad reputation but also clears away some dangers for their descendants.

Dorombalut glanced at Xia Yan with some surprise upon hearing his words.

He nodded in empathy.

No dragon dies of old age!

This is the pride of a purebred Dragon-type Pokémon.

"Is that a fossil of Dorgonmesia?" Xia Yan changed the subject back to the venue.

After a period of awkward silence, when even the host thought the auction was going to fail, someone finally made a bid.

I was taking a gamble.

What if it's true?

Once someone makes a bid, others gradually follow suit, though most are more conservative people who are hoping to find a bargain.

And so, with the price slowly rising, the fossil has finally reached a price of 1.2 million.

However, the intervals between each bid have become very large.

“Baruya…” Doronbalut nodded with a sorrowful expression.

Seeing the fossils of his own people was a feeling that Xia Yan didn't know how to describe.

But I imagine it will be very difficult for him.

In particular, the Doronbaruto elves have always shown special care for the young Doronmesia within their pack.

Comparing a marsupial horizontally to a smaller one, the pouch on its abdomen no longer holds the smaller marsupial, leaving it feeling empty both physically and mentally. Yet, seeing a fossil of a marsupial feels like rubbing salt into a wound, a pain that cuts to the core.

Seeing its appearance, Xia Yan sighed silently.

It seems really necessary to fill the empty chamber.

Thinking this way, I entered the price quite quickly.

The price was entered before the host struck the gavel.

One million two hundred and fifty thousand!

Everyone is being conservative this time, so Xia Yan doesn't need to appear too eager or determined.

But the way he "crazy"ly raised prices when bidding for Dragon Scales last time left a deep impression on people.

As soon as he announced the price, many people immediately gave up the idea of ​​getting a bargain.

The guy in the private room is crazy. He types in numbers like he's throwing money away. With him around, you can basically forget about getting a bargain.

that's it.

Even Xia Yan himself was somewhat surprised that everyone fell silent as soon as he made his offer.

He won the bid for this fossil of Doronmesia for 1.25 million.

But to be honest.

This fossil was really just bought to comfort Doronbaruto; it didn't actually have any real value.

Unless this fossil is brought to life using special equipment.

resurrection......

Thinking of this, Xia Yan suddenly shuddered.

He remembered that the Rock-type Gym Leader, Pygmalion, from the neighboring Iron City (Black Gold City), seemed to have a resurrected Ancient Pokémon, Cranidoth.

I just don't know if such an instrument has been developed yet.

Because Xia Yan remembered that, it seemed that when Zhiye went there in the original work, the instrument was said to have been developed not long ago.

But no matter what, isn't this a glimmer of hope?

Xia Yan told Dorombalto what he knew and what he was planning to do.

Dorombalut's eyes lit up immediately, and his mental state was greatly restored.

Can he be resurrected?!

Chapter Thirteen: "Bulldozer"!

It is possible to revive fossils, but I don't know if the instrument capable of reviving fossils has been developed yet.

Because the Sinnoh region has the most fossils, it will definitely be the first region to be developed if any.

Zhuqing City and Heijin City (Steel City), one being the most technologically advanced city and the other a city rich in coal and other minerals and fossils, are the two cities with the highest probability of being the most likely candidates.

So after this auction, Xia Yan plans to try to inquire and investigate whether the instrument has been developed.

But now.

We'll have to wait until this auction ends.

The auction of this fossil did have some impact, but the prices of the following items did not have such a significant premium.

But as the auction continued, the enthusiasm for the auction quickly rose again.

During this time, Xia Yan also packed up and sold all of his herbs.

The price wasn't high. All eight herbs sold for a total of 800,000 Alliance Coins, which averages out to about 100,000 Alliance Coins per herb.

Of course, there is a premium, but it's not much.
