Chapter 195 Fat sheep?

...

The sky is getting darker.

760,000 Alliance Coins in hand.

Natsu never imagined that he would have to pay taxes to receive the bounty.

Only speaking.

As expected of an Alliance.

But it's okay, 760,000 can also take over.

Natsu left the bounty without taking off Ditto's mask.

Instead, I took a taxi to what Patters calls the "Black Shark Bar."

No code words or anything that would represent identity.

But even if he gets it, Natsu isn't going to do any "delivery" work in place of Patters.

The reason why I went over was just to see, who entered the seventh box of the bar.

I don't want to do anything, but to confirm identity. If I encounter it in the future, I can take some precautions, just in case.

He had read the letter, the content on it was very simple, just a string of numbers without any markings, a total of thirteen digits.

He guessed that it might be a special password or another special meaning.

"Black Shark Bar."

Natsu glanced at the neon sign, a fierce-looking Sharpedo.

"Such a signboard is enough to scare off many children."

Withdrawing his gaze, he pushed the door and entered. The noise of the asserts the senses and the aroma of the malt wine will undoubtedly make many Men have an adrenaline rush.

When the night just fell, it was when the bar business entered its peak period.

But the first time he entered the bar, what he saw was not a wine pool, but a huge transparent water tank!

Under the illumination of the colorful lights, the blue sea water constantly reflects the magnificent halo.

On the high platform next to the water tank, two people stood, screaming hard.

Because in this tank, there are three Pokémons that are swimming fast.

One of the Natsu looks familiar, and is naturally one of the bar's signatures, a vicious Sharpedo!

And the other two who look much weaker are a Chinchou and a Remoraid.

The chase is on.

Obviously, this is the biggest pastime at this bar, and look at these two Pokémon, who will be caught up by Sharpedo first.

And the sturdy men around drinking from huge beer mugs naturally placed bets on these two Pokémons.

The aroma of the wine was mixed with the smell of sweat, and Natsu frowned and walked through the noisy crowd to the bar.

Without waiting for the bartender to speak, he said directly:

"A glass of dark malt beer."

Because the Orange Islands are in the southern country, it is hot and the Drought lasts for a long time. Long, characteristic rye grown, is an excellent winemaking material.

Not only the taste is pure, but the alcohol content is not low.

If people who don't know look down on this beer and pour a whole glass of it, they are likely to be tricked.

"200 Alliance Coins," the bar said familiarly.

Natsu took out 2 Alliance coins with a face value of 100, in exchange for a huge glass of black Yellow liquor, which, in terms of the size of the glass, was twice the size of the bar he had been to before. A lot , drinking such a cup, even ordinary beer is enough.

"Sir, the Sharpedo Chase Challenge is going on now, if you're interested, you might as well take part," the bartender laughted.

Natsu didn't say anything right away. Instead, he took a sip from the glass. The cold and refreshing rye beer stimulated the taste buds and mouth. At first, he felt a bit of bitterness, and then returned to sweetness, and the aroma of malt filled his mouth.

'Winter and cold beer are no more. '

He wiped the white Bubble from his upper lip, said without thinking: "Chinchou, 1000Alliance coins."

As he spoke, he slapped a stack of bills on the bar.

The bartender's eyes shined, wiped his hand on the stage with a rag, and the money was gone.

Immediately said, "Chinchou's odds are three-to-one now, and Remoraid's odds are one-and-a-half, sir, you're brave enough."

Natsu said lightly. glanced at him.

'I didn't say it before. '

He didn't pay much attention to chasing in the water tank. He just thought that Chinchou's Electric Type Attribute might be more dominant, so he chose Chinchou.

And why he bet.

Just to cover up some behavior.

Turning around, leaning on the bar carefree, holding the wine glass as if watching the chase in the water tank, in fact, the corner of the eye occasionally sweeps the back of the water tank, closes it tightly. Box 7 with the door.

But after watching for a while, nothing happened.

It was a chasing battle in the water tank, and it seemed that Veilstone was about to fall.

The Remoraid, who has always been relatively "calm", swam around in the water tank with its own speed advantage and flexible body.

In terms of speed and power, Chinchou is a little bit weaker, so Remoraid's odds are even lower.

However, the turning point came when Remoraid tried to attack Chinchou with his speed, thus giving himself a bigger advantage.

Before Remoraid could get close to Chinchou, Chinchou, who had been patient, finally broke out.

The electric current that was released instantly enveloped both himself and Remoraid.

Then the result is obvious, Remoraid's resistance to Electric Type is even worse, and finally Sharpedo found the opportunity to take a bite of Bite, rolled his eyes and floated to the surface, losing the combat capability.

The winner will naturally become the "dark horse" Chinchou.

The bar was filled with cheers, accompanied by a lot of curses.

All kinds of filthy words come and go.

"Sir, this is your bonus."

The bar handed me a stack of bills.

Natsu waved his hand, "No, wait for the next round."

"Okay."

While actively dispatching players for the next round at the bar , Natsu noticed, a man with a glass of wine walked towards the No. 7 private room.

"en?"

Natsu narrowed his eyes.

Just when the man pushed open the no. 7 private room door and saw the darkness inside from the gap, the man seemed to suddenly react and patted his forehead.

Turned around and moved towards the toilet.

Drunk?

Or. camouflage?

It's hard to judge.

But Natsu also took the appearance of a man with a scar on his neck in his heart.

Whether it is him or not, you should pay attention to it in the future.

Soon.

The next round of players and their respective Pokémon also came, and in a crowd of clamor and cheers, the two released their Pokémon one after another.

A Qwilfish and a Barboach.

The faces of the two Pokémon Trainers are confident.

Qwilfish can expand its body by infusing air, similar to puffer fish, but the long needles on its body are all poisonous, which makes it difficult for Sharpedo to swallow.

And when Barboach appeared, it sank to the bottom of the tank with a dull look.

'Hmm.. confident Barboach, so, Characteristic Trait is a danger prediction? '

It seems that only the "dangerous foresight" Characteristic Trait can make Natsu think of the possibility of winning over Qwilfish.

"Press Barboach."

Three thousand Alliance coins, pressed up again.

"Okay," said the bartender.

And just as a group of people were busy betting, the door of the bar was pushed open again.

However, what came in was not a brawny man, not even one person, but one old and one young.

The old man held the little hand of the girl next to him tightly.

The girl shrank her neck and looked timid. Such a bar environment was indeed a bit oppressive to her.

"They?"

Natsu gave an unexpected expression.

Because of the two people who came in, he knew each other.

Isn't that the little girl Miu who lives next to him on the boat, and the guy who claims to be her grandfather?

"What are they doing here?"

And when they come in, they naturally become the "fat sheep" in the eyes of the brawny men in the bar.
