Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Seeing Tokiss's absent-minded look, Xia Yan couldn't help but stand up and ask.

His gaze also fell on the stage.

Then I saw the old man putting it into the flowerpot.

“Chakoduyi~~” Pokkiss was startled when he heard Xia Yan’s voice.

I came to my senses.

His expression showed some hesitation and conflict.

It's hard to explain, it just feels strange.

"Can it accelerate the growth of seeds into saplings? Life energy?"

Xia Yan raised an eyebrow as he watched what was happening on stage.

This is life energy at work.

Having witnessed the crystallization of life and the energy of life, Xia Yan has some authority to speak on this matter.

“Chakoduyi?” Pokkis tilted his head.

It knew Xia Yan was right, but it still felt there was something wrong with that branch!

With Pokkis emphasizing this so much, Xia Yan had no choice but to take it seriously.

Various props and rare materials kept flashing through my mind.

None of them match.

He couldn't help but ask, "Pokekiss, tell me how you feel."

“Chakoduyi!” Pokkis nodded.

Hesitantly, he began to speak haltingly.

It couldn't quite explain why, but it felt that the branch seemed to attract it, and that attraction was quite strong.

This makes the energy within it restless and ready to stir.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan's expression shifted, and he asked, "Which energy? Fairy-type energy?"

As Xia Yan's first Fairy-type Pokémon to awaken, Togekiss was also the first to come into contact with Fairy-type energy.

If it's fairy-type energy...

That area will shrink considerably.

"Cha-ke-du-yi!"

This time, Pokkis was quite certain and nodded vigorously again.

“Fairy type...tree branch..." Xia Yan murmured to himself.

He kept repeating this while his eyes slowly widened.

A sense of disbelief and...surprise slowly emerged from within.

"A tree branch... Could it be... Xerneas?!"

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Money is never enough anyway

Xerneas?

It's not impossible.

After all, when Xerneas is asleep, he turns into a tree.

may.

It now lies dormant in some unknown forest in the Carlos region.

Xia Yan didn't know if the current scarcity of Fairy-type energy in the Pokémon world was directly related to Xerneas's slumber.

After all, she's not the only pure Fairy-type legendary Pokémon; Zacian from the Galar region is one too, isn't she?

However, when Zacian reveals its true form, it is a Fairy-type and Steel-type legendary Pokémon.

However, Xia Yan felt that the scarcity of fairy-type energy was definitely related to Xerneas, even if it wasn't directly connected to him.

If this branch is indeed a part of Xerneas's body that it shed, then it's quite normal for it to be attractive to Togekiss, who has now awakened to the Fairy type.

He gently patted Tokis's head.

This is to signal it to adjust its mindset.

"Whether it is or not, let's take a picture and see," Xia Yan said.

“Chakoi~~” Tokis nodded.

Then.

The auction for this tree branch then began.

That's all for the introduction. If you find it interesting, feel free to take some pictures and try it out.

Starting bid: 500,000 Alliance Coins. Minimum bid increment: 10,000. Begin!

Boom!

As the hammer fell, the entire arena fell into a brief silence once again.

Although the price also caused a lull, it was clearly for a different reason than when the Pangolin was auctioned.

"Hilarious! A tree branch for 500,000? Do you think everyone else is stupid?"

"Let it go unsold quickly, I want to look at the next item."

Such mockery is becoming more and more frequent.

"Five hundred thousand."

Suddenly.

A voice came from somewhere, not mature, but quite magnetic.

Someone has placed a bid!

Xia Yan, who was about to call out a price in the private room, couldn't help but glance in that direction.

"Take a gamble? Or do you know its value?"

Xia Yan is not sure.

So he wanted to wait and see, and not appear too hasty.

"Someone actually took a picture of a tree branch. What were they thinking?"

"Who knows, they probably have a lot of money."

"What a sucker..."

The old man on the stage, however, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it didn't go unsold.

Although the price wasn't high, it's good that it was sold at auction.

Their auction house had studied this item for a long time and spent a lot of money, but they hadn't gotten any satisfactory results. They decided to sell it early to recoup some of their losses.

The old man looked around. "Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

After waiting silently for more than ten seconds, no one made a bid.

He's about to start the countdown.

“Five hundred and ten thousand.” Xia Yan’s hoarse voice, which he was trying to conceal, rang out.

The minimum markup was 10,000, so Xia Yan added 10,000.

He was afraid that adding too much would arouse suspicion.

"Five hundred and twenty thousand."

"Five hundred and thirty thousand."

"..."

The two kept raising the price by tens of thousands, until the other bidders were starting to doze off.

If Xia Yan weren't a guest in the private room, most people wouldn't dare to offend him easily.

Someone might say something.

Here's a room for you, take your time taking pictures.

"One million." Xia Yan wasn't in a hurry, sitting in the private room slowly chewing on the fruit served on the fruit platter.

Good things come to those who wait.

If it really is a branch of Xerneas, he would take it even if it cost ten million, let alone one million.

The value of mythical beasts cannot be measured by price alone.

Even if it's not something from Xerneas, something that can cause Togekiss's fairy-type energy to malfunction is probably no ordinary item, so spending a few million isn't exactly a gamble.

"One million two hundred thousand!"

The other party seemed to be getting impatient and began to increase the price.

"One million two hundred and ten thousand."

"One million five hundred thousand!"

"One million five hundred and ten thousand."

But Xia Yan remained unhurried and only added 10,000.

This is actually sending a signal.

No matter how much you add, I'll add 10,000.

I'll play along.

But this time...
