Chapter 115 The Origin of Dragonite

Ziqin Town is a seaside town on the coast. To its west is the South Padia Sea. It is adjacent to the Honghong Desert, the largest desert in the Padia region, and the Daguo Lake, which is the main target of Luo Mu's trip.

In addition to the seaside town-style buildings, the most famous place here is the Ziqin Market in the center of the town.

The Ziqin Market was filled with merchants and vendors from all over Padia, selling a wide variety of goods.

But if we talk about the most distinctive thing about the Ziqin Market, it must be the small auctions unique to this market.

The auctions here need to be reported to the management committee of Ziqin Market in advance, and they will then arrange a suitable venue for the auction.

It would be troublesome for ordinary people to do it, but it was very easy for Luo Mu.

He happened to know someone from the Ziqin Market Management Committee.

Once when he was traveling, he rescued a severely dehydrated victim in the hot desert. It was obvious that he was lost in the desert and had run out of resources.

The victim was the middle-aged man with a smile in front of Luo Mu.

The man's name was Terry. He wore subtle gold-rimmed glasses and looked like a cultured person.

Terry took off his glasses and took a magnifying glass to carefully observe the cotton wool that Luo Mu brought. He gently stroked it with his gloved right hand, with an expression of admiration on his face: "It is indeed the white fluffy cotton wool that is unique to the Galar region. Just by touching this white and fluffy cotton wool that is like a cloud, you can tell how beautiful the lustre of the thread made from it is."

After a moment, Terry looked up at Luo Mu and said, "Mr. Luo Mu, regarding the auction method of these cotton wools, I think this is a good idea."

Terry wrote a few big words on a piece of white paper and handed it to Luo Mu.

Taking the white paper, Luo Mu lowered his head and read aloud: "The auction will be divided into four stages?"

Terry nodded and said, "White fluffy cotton wool is a rare commodity in the Padya region. It will surely attract many businessmen and wealthy people."

"You have exactly ten kilograms of cotton wool. I want to divide it into one kilogram, one kilogram, three kilograms, and five kilograms for auction. This method can not only stir up the atmosphere, but also bring in a high price."

"The starting price for the first two kilograms is 4000 Alliance Coins. The starting prices for three and five kilograms are 5000 and 6000 Alliance Coins respectively. What do you think?"

Terry looked at Luo Mu cautiously, afraid to see displeasure on the other's face.

To him, Luo Mu was his savior, so Terry would naturally not miss such a good opportunity to repay him.

With a few more agents, the selling price can easily exceed 6,000 Alliance coins per kilogram.

Luo Mu nodded indifferently. For him, it was fine to sell them in packages of 6,000 Alliance Coins per kilogram. It would also be fine to have extra income from the auction. As long as he could make money, it was fine.

No matter how you look at it, he's not losing out.

When Terry showed a satisfied smile with relief, Luo Mu suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Since I have entrusted the management committee to auction the white fluffy cotton wool, there should be a handling fee, something like a percentage of the transaction amount.

Luo Mu looked at Terry in confusion: "Don't you take a cut?"

"How could that be!" Terry waved his hands quickly and said from the bottom of his heart: "You are my savior. I am already very satisfied to be able to help you. How could I do such an unscrupulous thing as taking a cut!"

Since Terry's expression was very determined, as if he would jump off the scene if Luo Mu insisted on them taking a cut, Luo Mu had no choice but to accept Terry's kindness.

Even if this is just the second floor.

After completing the handover with Terry and confirming that the white fluffy cotton wool would be auctioned at the Ziqin Market tomorrow, Luo Mu declined Terry's invitation. He had more important things to do now than visiting Ziqin Town and going to the coast.

Luo Mu was not worried that the money from the cotton auction would be embezzled by Terry, and he had no intention of staying in Ziqin Town until the end of the auction.

Regardless of whether Terry is that kind of person, even if he really did that kind of thing, he would have to ask Luo Mu and his Pokémon whether they agree.

He has the ability to deal with all kinds of power and shady oppression, and he doesn't need to worry about anyone playing tricks on him.

While it was still early, Luo Mu walked to the outskirts of Ziqin Town, summoned Dragonite, and flew directly towards Daguo Lake.

Starting from Ziqin Town, it would take about forty minutes to see the outline of Daguo Lake with the flying speed of Dragonite.

Stroking the back of the obviously excited Dragonite, Luo Mu smiled and said, "I haven't been to Daguo Lake for a long time. I wonder how Haxorus and the others are doing now." "Bowu~"

Dragonite responded expectantly, and even its flying speed, which had already easily surpassed Asuka, increased even more.

Luo Mu still remembers that day clearly. It should be shortly after he rescued Terry. When he finished his training in the Hot Desert and went to the Cauldron Lake to look for the last Pokémon in the team, he met Dragonite, or it should be said that it was still a Pokémon egg, at the Cauldron Lake.

Although the Big Pot Lake in the game is full of Miridsaurus and Haxorus, in the real Big Pot Lake their numbers are not only rare, but also extremely difficult to find.

At that time, Dragonite, which was still a Pokémon egg, was protected by three Haxorubes because Dragonite was the child of their leader Dragonite. However, leader Dragonite went out one day and never returned to the Cauldron Lake, and no news was heard from him at all.

Luo Mu's target was originally the most conspicuous Hakron among the three Hakrons. Its pink body was particularly conspicuous in the Big Pot Lake, and was directly discovered by Luo Mu who entered the Big Pot Lake to look for a suitable partner.

Although the pink Dragonite will turn into a completely green Dragonite after evolving, Luo Mu is not so luxurious as to miss the opportunity to capture a rare Pokémon just because of its appearance.

He brought Swampert and invited the pink Haxoruba to a capture battle. Generally speaking, wild Pokémon will have several different reactions to their trainers' capture battle invitations.

Wild Pokémon that don't mind being captured will often gladly accept the challenge, while those that do will most likely choose to flee. There are also some wild Pokémon that will rush up and beat their trainers to their knees, making it impossible for them to even utter the word "captured."

Pink Haxorub is the fourth type. It saw the power of Swampert at a glance and chose to ask Luomu and Swampert for help.

It was then that Luo Mu realized why Haxorus, which could obviously live underwater, would float on the water so blatantly.

It turned out that several Gyarados in the Cauldron Lake had set their sights on the island in the lake where they were taking care of the Dragonite leader's Pokémon egg, because the waters where the island was located was the territory of Gyarados and his companions.

This was originally the territory of Leader Dragonite, but because of Leader Dragonite's disappearance, these Gyarados, who are still in their young and middle-aged stages, occupied this place.

Although the three Dragonites are late bloomers, they are not good at fighting. They always take the attitude of avoiding battles if possible. If they cannot be avoided, the leader Dragonite will come forward to fight.

With the help of Haxorus, Luo Mu learned that the Gyarados were surrounding the other two Haxorus and the Pokémon egg on the island in the lake, ready to attack at any time.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Mu agreed to the pink Haxorus' request and helped them drive the Gyarados away from the island in the lake.

After all, what if the Haxorus see that I am so powerful and choose to throw myself into my arms? Wouldn’t it be a good thing for them to follow me?
Although in the end, Haxorus and the others knew that they were powerless to protect the child of Dragonite leader in the Cauldron Lake, so they entrusted the Pokémon egg to Luo Mu.

But Luo Mu did not hide the existence of the three Haxorus from Dragonite, so Dragonite was very much looking forward to meeting the three Haxorus, whom it had never met before but who made it feel very familiar.

Soon, the outline of Daguo Lake appeared in the sight of Luo Mu and Kuailong.

As the largest lake in the Padya region, Daguo Lake covers a very vast area.

The Daguo Lake surrounded by mountains looks like a huge pot when viewed from the sky, hence the name Daguo Lake. There are islands of varying sizes floating on the lake. The largest island even has a forest and a hill on it.

Looking from the northeast side, you can see a large waterfall pouring down from the Frost Mountains, the largest snow-capped mountain group in the Padia area. The waterfall is called the Big Pot Waterfall and is one of the ten scenic spots in Padia.

If you are lucky, you can also see the amazing sight of carp leaping over the Dragon Gate at the Big Pot Waterfall.

The water flow near the waterfall is very turbulent, and there is a certain probability that ordinary water-type Pokémon will get into trouble if they get close to it, so the wild Pokémon near the waterfall are often much stronger.

The west and north of Cauldron Lake are connected to the Padya Sea. Occasionally, wild Pokémon from the sea will mistakenly enter Cauldron Lake, and even some dolphin-shaped Pokémon will occasionally appear here.

Luo Mu rode on Dragonite and kept looking down, trying to find the location of the island in the lake in his memory.

I haven't been here for a while, and it's really difficult to find a small island in this huge Daguo Lake.

In his field of vision, several white lines moving at extremely fast speeds often appeared on the surface of Daguo Lake. These white lines shuttled randomly on the lake, tearing through the misty white fog floating on the lake like clouds.

Luo Mu knew very well that it was the torpedoes that made the noise. Trainers who flashed in the Big Pot Lake would always have a bad relationship with these Pokémon, whose scientific name was the Light Cod.

While commanding Dragonite to lower its flying altitude, Luo Mu made a new discovery.

On the calm surface of the Cauldron Lake, there are occasionally some small Pokémon that appear to be injured and weakened. These Pokémon look like fish sushi, but they are pure Dragon + Water Pokémon.

This Pokémon is called Militarus. It camouflages itself by inflating its throat sac to help the huge shadow below it hunt. It is a rare Pokémon of different species that cooperate with each other to hunt.
