Ch. 55 - Celadon Mansion 2

"Hahaha, she is so fun to tease" I said as I put my phone away and closed my eyes to sleep.

<Next Day>

Eating until my stomach was full, I entered the Pokemon World.

Back on the roof of 'Celadon Mansion', I headed down.

After exiting the building, I looked at the small gap between the buildings.

When I was on the roof of the 'Celadon Mansion', I saw a different section of the building. Since I checked all the floors, I didn't find any way to access the other section.

So, that means there is another entrance outside which will lead to the other part of the building.

And I think I found it, there was a gap between the buildings which extends to the back of the buildings where the other entrance is.

But the problem is that an NPC is blocking the way.

"Aaaagh, ow...." the NPC cried.

"I scalded my tongue!" he said to me.

"This nice old lady in the MANSION gave me some TEA."

"But it was boiling hot. Gotta cool it to drink it."

This NPC must be here to give hints to the players on where to find the TEA for the guards.

But I already found it.

I kept observing the NPC but even after interacting with him, he didn't move out of the way.

'So, this is not the way to get to the backside.'

'There must be some other way to reach the backside.'

I looked around the building and eventually found the way.

It was right beside the Pokemon Center.

I walked to the backside of the building, and there was another entrance at the back of the 'Celadon Mansion'.

Using this entrance, I entered the building.

Unlike what I expected to find, this other section only had a staircase and nothing else.

Using the stairs, I moved to the first floor, and similar to the ground floor, this floor too only had a staircase.

The second floor was also the same.

Finally, I reached the roof of the building.

On this side of the roof, there was a single room with a sign outside that read

<I KNOW EVERYTHING!>

"Interesting."

I entered the room and there was a single NPC inside with a bunch of books on the table, a small bookshelf, and a blackboard with various calculations written on it.

"There is nothing that I don't know, like I wrote on the blackboard."

"I know about the world of Pokemon."

"Did you know, that some Pokemon require trade as a condition to evolve."

"Get together with other players and trade with them."

After interacting, I looked at the books on the table but all of them only had basic Pokemon information.

On the side of the table, there was a pamphlet. I bent down to read it.

<There 50 229 are TMs in all. But only Kanto>

<There 8 11 are also HMs that can be used repeatedly. Only in Kanto.>

<SILPH CO.>

Standing back up, I looked around the room, there was another table in the room with an item on top of it.

[You obtained an EEVEE]

"Wait What!!! An Eevee."

[Eevee was transferred to PC Box in Dipper's PC]

"I remember, this is the free Eevee. The effort to find the entrance was all worth it." I said happily after obtaining the Eevee.

After obtaining Eevee, I looked around the room but there was nothing else interesting so I exited the room and headed down.

After exiting the building, I continued exploring the backside.

After walking for a while, I reached the end of the path but there was no other entrance.

At the end of the path, I found an item.

[You found one Ether]

After completely exploring, I headed to the Pokemon Center.

"I could use it if I am ever in need of any of its evolution."

"But for the time being, It'll stay in the box."

Back at exploring the City, This time I found myself in front of a giant building which I previously noticed when looking for the Gym. The building had a sign that read.

<Find what you need at the CELADON DEPT. STORE>

I entered the store, Inside was a rectangular desk with an NPC receptionist. Along with the NPC, there was also a list lying on the desk containing information about the floors and the type of items sold on those floors.

"Hello, Welcome to CELADON DEPARTMENT STORE."

"The board on the right describes the store layout." she said as she pointed to the list.

I moved to the list and checked it.

<1F : SERVICE COUNTER>

<2F : TRAINER'S MARKET>

<3F : TV GAME SHOP>

<4F : WISE MAN GIFTS>

<5F : DRUGSTORE>

<ROOF SQUARE : VENDING MACHINES>

After reading the list, I headed to the back of the building where a stair and an elevator are.

In front of the elevator, a big mat was placed which had '1F' written on it as well as a sign that reads.

<1F : SERVICE COUNTER>

"So this is the first floor, I always thought that a building's layout starts with the Ground Floor then the First Floor."

Taking the stairs, I moved to the second floor.

Similar to the first floor, the elevator had a mat with '2F' written and a sign that read.

<Top-Grade Items for TRAINERS!>

<2F : TRAINER'S MARKET>

I moved in and headed to the first salesman, and as I interacted with him, a huge list of TMs appeared in front of me.

I scrolled and scrolled and the list kept on going, after scrolling for some time, the list finally ended.

'I don't need to buy any TM right now. I'll buy one when needed.'

Moving to the other salesman that sells other items.

"What is this 'Lure'?" I clicked on 'Lure' to check its details and price.

[Lure : A lure which attracts wild Pokemon for 100 steps. It has several effects while active:

> Encounter rates increased by +10%

> Foes are slightly stronger than normal Pokemon in the area

> You may encounter more foes at the same time

> 5% chance to encounter lure-exclusive species

Consumed upon use.]

[Price : ₽600]

"That's new. It will be helpful when I need to quickly fill my PokeDEX."

"This 'Super Lure' should be a stronger version of 'Lure'."

[Super Lure : A lure which attracts wild Pokemon for 200 steps. It has several effects while active:

> Encounter rates increased by +10%

> Foes are slightly stronger than normal Pokemon in the area

> You may encounter more foes at the same time

> 5% chance to encounter lure-exclusive species

Consumed upon use.]

[Price : ₽1,200]

"Besides its duration, nothing else changed."

After checking all the items, I decided to buy some Poke Balls, Great Balls, and some Lures.

x10 Poke Ball = ₽2,000

x15 Great Ball = ₽9,000

x10 Lure = ₽6,000

Total = ₽17,000

After purchase, I had ₽45,579 money left.

I also wanted to buy some Revives but their price, which is ₽3,250 for one, which is very expensive for the current me.

After purchasing, I moved to the only other NPC present on the floor who was pacing around the floor.

"For long outings, you should buy REVIVE."

"Yeah, Yeah I don't need them right now, and I can't afford much anyway."

After interacting with the last NPC, I headed to the stairs and moved to the third floor.
