Chapter 137 Shuckle

"Can't go?"

Natsu frowned. Looking at the conductor in front of him, his heart sank instantly.

"Sorry sir, it is said that the outgoing road was damaged by some Pokémon. It is currently under repair, so the car going to Vermilion City may not be able to drive today."

The conductor at the station said apologetically.

"What about Cerulean City?"

"Sorry, sir, because Cerulean City suffered a heavy rain some time ago, which caused a large area of ​​the road to fall." The expression on the conductor's face became even more embarrassing.

Natsu's face changed for a while, and he took a deep breath and said gently: "I see, thank you."

"For the inconvenience caused to you, on behalf of Saffron City Onix Transportation Company, My sincerest apologies."

Without insisting, Natsu made his way through the increasingly crowded crowd and out of the station.

"I can't do without Saffron City, is this serious?"

This is indeed something he hadn't considered.

I originally wanted to leave Saffron City after the Elite exhibition game ended, after I got a small prize.

But now it seems that it is impossible to get away.

He only asked about Vermilion City and Cerulean City, as for others like Fuchsia City and Lavender Town simply don't ask.

Just look at the crowded stations and the hustle and bustle of people.

Saffron City's transportation links with the outside world have all been cut off.

Those so-called reasons are just pretense, and the real reason is probably the overactive problem of Wild Pokémon that has been going on around Saffron City for more than a month.

It wasn't just him who could think of this.

"If the ground can't get through, then the sky is the same."

Looking up at the cloudless sky, there seems to be a thin layer of haze covering the entire Saffron City.

"It's still too late, I don't know if Steven and Shirona have left."

He took out his phone and opened the stitching monster software that Steven installed.

Natsu: Are you gone?

Steven who loves stones: Already on the plane.

User 1886****8: Hmm.

Steven who loves stones: what's wrong? What's up?

Natsu: No, it's a smooth journey.

Steven who loves rocks: Remember to come and play in Hoenn.

User 1886****8: Thank you.

'Sure enough, it's good to have a special plane, you can go whenever you want'

I wanted to take a car, but I wasted a lot of time on the road because I wanted to leave Saffron City at this time. People, there are just too many.

Put away the phone.

"So, the group of people who left at the beginning should have left, and they left with them."

Natsu rubbed his hair helplessly.

The Alliance must have blocked news of what was really going on in Saffron City at this time.

"It's just a matter of knowing the status of the Items."

Having a taxi.

He needs to gather some intelligence and information before he can judge what to do next.

The old Bill in the bar is an intelligence businessman, but the last encounter made him impossible to approach the bar again, only to see if there is any news on the black market.

Skillfully navigate the black market corridors.

Natsu, wearing a black robe and mask, is back in the black market again.

The changes in the black market also made his mood a little heavier.

There are fewer people, but there are more security personnel in the black market.

Two teams or more can be seen on the street at any time.

Go directly to the intelligence station.

The intelligence station, which usually has the least traffic, is actually the place where the most people gather.

"The one who bought the Saffron City information? One thousand Alliance Coins, and take it on the table."

As soon as he entered, a man sitting at the door smoking a cigarette glanced at Natsu and said nothing. Speaking of.

You can see a stack of booklets on the table. Everyone who came in dropped a thousand Alliance coins on the table and left with a booklet.

'Intelligence dealers are good at doing business'

He murmured in his heart, and after placing a thousand Alliance coins on the table, he left with the booklet.

On the way out of the intelligence station, I flipped through the contents on it.

'Sure enough, Alliance has sealed the city. Are there already so many Wild Pokémon gatherings around Saffron City? Others have seen the Wild Pokémon at the eelite level, and even the qualification level is not impossible.'

It is impossible to force it out.

If you meet an eelite-level Wild Pokémon Natsu, maybe you can rely on the cooperation between Pokémon.

'There are so many Wild Pokémons, not all of them acting alone, but more tribal activities. Rioting? '

The booklet also includes a map of Saffron City and its environs, highlighting several locations and locations where elite-level Pokémon may exist.

'With two Elites and so many Alliance Trainers in town, you shouldn't have to worry too much about the safety in Saffron City, but if you want to leave, you may have to wait for the Alliance to resolve this matter completely'

At least Saffron City is safe, Natsu relaxed a little.

Saffron City As the largest city and economic center in Kanto Region, Alliance is impossible to give up.

Once there is an uncontrollable situation, it is estimated that Alliance will also send someone.

"So. to stay for a while." Natsu muttered.

Tight and thinking of something, strode to the Pokémon food court.

Sure enough.

The shelves of many stores that used to be full of dazzling arrays have now been emptied by nearly half.

"They're all people who lick blood, and they're really sensitive to danger."

Natsu didn't hesitate.

Directly spent 200,000 Alliance Coins to buy a large amount of Top Rank Pokéblock eaten by Beedrill and Abra.

This amount should be able to support their meals for about a month.

With some leftovers from before, it should be fine to hold on until this event is over.

It's just that Togepi's Pokéblock is more troublesome.

But Natsu is going to try making Pokéblock himself.

For 300,000 Alliance Coins, I bought a set of relatively common Pokéblock crafting tools.

Among which is included Berry and material decomposition, segregation, blending, molding and other aspects.

And then spent another 200,000 Alliance Coins to buy a bunch of all kinds of Berry and supporting materials.

I don't know if I don't buy it. I just found out that Breeder is really a very expensive profession.

All kinds of tools and materials are a huge expense.

There is no guarantee that the production will be successful, and the Pokéblock effect matched can meet the conditions.

But there is no way. If you don't want to lose at the starting line, Togepi's Fairy Type must be a big problem that cannot be overcome.

Fortunately, the value of Fairy Type is not high now, and Natsu has prepared a lot to prevent too many failures.

All of a sudden, most of the assets that have been saved are consumed.

Before leaving.

Natsu goes to the Pokémon shop again.

It should have been the busiest street, but now it has become the most deserted place.

"Sir, what Pokémon do you need?"

There are fewer customers, and even the attitude of the staff in the store is much better.

"Shuckle." Natsu said directly.

A Pokémon like Shuckle is hard to describe.

It's weak.

But in fact, there are many routines that can make this Pokémon undergo a qualitative change. A Power Trick swaps its own physical attack and physical defense, and then breaks the shell to boost itself, and it can completely transform into a ferocious, crispy assassin . .

Alternatively, the naysayer Shuckle with Toxic, Rest, Power Split, Broken Shell, and Sticky Web is disgusting enough.

But say it's strong.

In fact, this Pokémon is most famous for its ability to decompose Berry.

Unfortunately, Natsu has never encountered a Shuckle so far.

This time I'm going to try to make Pokéblock myself, I can only buy one as a tool first.

A look of embarrassment flashed across the staff's face, "Pokémon like Shuckle are not easy to find, so."

"No?" Natsu frowned.

"Yes! That's the price."

Glancing at the brochure handed over by the staff, Natsu almost uttered a foul language.

What is rare and precious?

That's it.

A Shuckle who has just entered the senior level and has a strong Characteristic Trait costs 300,000 Alliance coins!

Just thinking that if it is a senior level strength, maybe it can play some role in the battle, Natsu gritted his teeth.

"Bought it!"
