Chapter 214: The first day in Unova

Unova, Castelia City, as one of the largest metropolises in the Pokémon world, the towering high-rise buildings form a forest of shadows of steel and iron.

There are many people gathered in Castelia City, and occasionally there are people who are only interested in themselves and have no interest in other things outside. This kind of person is generally called a corporate slave.

"So busy, so busy! I have to think about what to eat for lunch after eating breakfast, and worry about what to eat for dinner after eating lunch. Why is it so busy every day!"

There are such figures everywhere, business people in black suits and briefcases, wearing ties and rushing in the streets and alleys. The crowd is endless. Xiang Guangtai and Aegislash were "refreshed" in an area where no one cared, and Mewtwo's voice gradually went away.

This is, Back Alley.

The third street from east to west of the port street, there are many trash cans. This street is located between buildings, very narrow, lacks lighting, and has some suspicious people. There are few people coming and going here, and it is an area with relatively poor security.

And the most famous thing about this street is... the black-clothed shiny guy who jumps out from the trash can, and the Relaxed Café that can teach Ancient Song.

Looking up, Xiang Guangtai could see that simple café. The red door frame and the green plants at the door were very conspicuous in this dark alley.

However, the shiny guy looking for glasses by the trash can did not appear, probably because it was not yet the time for "Hilbert" and "Hilda" to travel, and he had not lost his glasses in the trash can here.

"But Ancient Song, I already know how to play."

I need to stay in Unova for a while. Probably before mid-September, I need a foothold. However, according to memory, Dr. Fennel, who developed the dream system, should have lived in Striaton City before, and Castelia City is also expensive as a big city. This is not an ideal "temporary stronghold".

I sent the news of my arrival in Unova to Alder, but I didn't get a response immediately. Considering that Alder is a novice in the use of electronic equipment, Xiang Guangtai decided to wait patiently for a while.

He took Aegislash into the café to rest temporarily. This uniquely shaped king sword Pokémon attracted other people's attention. After receiving two bottles of Moomoo Milk given by the café clerk, Xiang Guangtai found a corner and sat down.

There is a poster about Team Plasma's speech in the café. Now this team looks like a decent religious animal protection organization on the surface.

Under Alder's private chat, the chat content of several merchant groups reached 99+. First, they were discussing the abnormal changes that occurred in the Johto region before. Those psychics were particularly sensitive to this. Secondly, there were messages asking if Xiang Guangtai could continue to customize props recently.

"Sorry, I went out because of some things, and large props like statues cannot be made temporarily. But small props are fine."

"Eh? Did the shopkeeper leave Sinjoh?"

"Yes, I am currently in the Unova region."

People in the doll group and the supernatural exchange group didn't expect Xiang Guangtai to temporarily close the business. Rika said bluntly: "Then what should I do with this batch of talismans I'm missing, shopkeeper? Unova has no interesting graves, the only advantage is that the logistics delivery is very fast..."

Interesting graves?

Do you think I came here to tomb-raid like you?

Speechless.

Rika: "I mean, you can take a look at the supernatural locations in the Unova region. Maybe you can develop some new practical talismans. By the way, how about going to Celestial Tower? There is a big bell that can purify souls there. Go and ring it and try it?"

This is indeed a good goal. That big bell has a unique legend. After completing the plot of the heart's void, the god of the lake, Mesprit, the red mushroom, will run to the big bell at the top of the tower.

This big bell does have some saying.

Thinking about it this way, Unova is a very ancient region. There may be special props and rare materials that may exist here. Perhaps it is necessary to explore a little bit during this trip.

There are other important messages in the group chat, such as Caitlin, because she controlled her psychic power quickly, she has started the challenge of the Elite Four ahead of schedule, and has succeeded!

But this news was not sent by Caitlin herself, but explained by the soul novelist. Caitlin is recuperating because of excessive exertion, and has now headed to the Unova League.

As for the soul novelist herself, she exposed that her name is Shauntal, the Ghost-type Elite Four of the Unova region.

"Then, can you contact Mr. Alder?"

"Eh, Champion Alder... he is basically not in the Alliance, and he doesn't know much about electronic equipment. If you had contact with him before, he probably found someone to help answer in Aspertia City or somewhere."

"And Champion Alder often runs to places with poor signals... Ah, although Unova's technology is very developed, there are still many places that maintain the original ecology, in order not to destroy the natural environment, such as Opelucid City, White Forest, Lacunosa Town... so there are many old places in Unova that have not been developed."

"Well, I will ask Marshal to help. He is Champion Alder's apprentice and should have a way to contact Mr. Alder. Is the shopkeeper planning to settle in Castelia City?"

"No, I am going to Striaton City." Xiang Guangtai's goal is very clear, to find the dream doctor in Striaton City.

On the other side, Sabrina, the Gym Leader of Saffron Gym in Kanto, seems to have also come to Unova. Although Misty's performance in the Gym Leader assessment conducted by Sabrina was quite miserable, the tactical configuration and the skills of random response she showed were recognized by her.

Now Saffron Gym is managed by Misty. It is just that a Gym representing the Psychic type is managed by a Ghost trainer. No matter how you look at it, it is strange.

Misty claimed that she would catch another Abra and train it into Alakazam, and let Saffron Gym be great again.

And that female customer who loves dolls, the customer suspected to be Lorelei of the Kanto Elite Four, is complaining that the new ones are all amulets and battle-type props, and she still wants to buy some new dolls.

"New dolls... How about the legendary series?"

The doll of Calyrex was well received, which made Xiang Guangtai have the idea of making dolls of other legendary Pokémon. Then, since he came to Unova, why not try to make dolls of the black and white dragons and the Swords of Justice?

Dolls of the Forces of Nature, Victini, and Meloetta can also be tried. And in such a prosperous big region as Unova, commodity trade is very frequent, and various expensive and rare Pokémon materials and related products are everywhere.

Making local legendary dolls in a new region can also be considered another kind of limited product in terms of mode. For his current production speed, he can produce many props in one day, as long as the materials are sufficient.

"Ah, by the way, about the props... there are many people here who want to buy a batch of battle props from you. Eh, they suggest that you create a new group chat."

Battle party... also, battle props are one of his main businesses.

There are quite a few trainers in Kanto and Johto who specialize in battles. Xiang Guangtai thought of the matter that Misty mentioned about Ye Zi last time. Because he was busy at that time, he delayed it for a while. Now...

【New group chat created!】

Created a group chat for selling new battle props at the request of 【Ice Doll】. After all, from the store interface, it is currently in a state of temporary semi-closure, and it is impossible to manufacture certain props on a large scale, but selling some limited-time limited products is also an operation method of a "boutique shop".

If you miss this village, there will be no such shop.

Well, after that customer suspected to be Lorelei created the group chat, she took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the administrator, and then...

Xiang Guangtai saw that the person who applied to join the group in the background was 【Dragon Messenger】.

"It seems that the one buying the doll is really Lorelei. Also, it is quite strange to be mixed in the group of psychics. That's it. She has contact with Lance."

"Let me see... the customers in this group... *tsk*, it's not quite right?"

Some people even use their real names directly, such as... 【Blue】.

It is clear that those who came in are a group of people who love battles. They firmly believe that through battles, they can have intersections and bonds with everyone in the world. In fact... even Arceus believes that this logic is correct.

Of course, if you cannot correctly recognize the relationship between trainers and Pokémon, you will go further and further on the road of battle obsession. In the Pokémon world, there are quite a few such people.

"I wanted to use the props here to win the Indigo Plateau championship again! Originally it should be like this, but what I don't want to admit is..."

"You lost again."

As soon as Blue entered the group chat, battle masters began to stare at his speech and laugh. A girl called out: Blue, you have new scars on your face again!

Blue didn't answer, just told the shopkeeper to take two Focus Sashes and a pack of Choice Scarves.

"You recently had a trial with Ye Zi, and the result was that you lost very miserably! Blue, when are you going to Mt. Bai Yin."

"When I get all the props that fit my team, I will fight up Mt. Bai Yin. I came to this group chat for this!" Blue answered the person who spoke viciously, and the only person who dared to tease Blue like this was Yellow, the most lively one among the Kanto Four.

Xiang Guangtai silently liked it.

Blue, Ye Zi, Yellow, Lance, Lorelei, and some elite trainers who practiced under the Elite Four and Gym Leaders, such as after Blue became a Gym Leader, there were many elite trainers who came to follow Blue to practice in Viridian Gym, such as... they are all names I haven't heard of, probably some elite blockers that appeared in the game.

Of course, Misty's name also appeared in the group chat. Apart from this, there was also a customer with the ID of Riddle Master who had bought Scorched Charcoal before, which is estimated to be related to Cinnabar Island.

And there was a person called 【Poisonous World】, but after joining, he didn't speak, seemingly peeping at the screen. Poison... is it a trainer of the Poison-type Gym in the Kanto region?

Well, it's simply a Kanto fellow-townsman meeting.

Were the people of Johto excluded again?

Ye Zi: "Ah, speaking of which, have you all used the software developed by the Unova Battle Company? I don't know why, but some props made by the shopkeeper have also appeared in the battle system of the Battle Company! At present, the popularity of these props in Unova seems to be very high! Of course, there are only a few, but they have greatly changed the original battle mode!"

"Of course, that version is just a new test version. They said they would contact the prop developer soon! Is the shopkeeper here because of an invitation?"

My props are in the battle software of the Battle Company?

Xiang Guangtai was slightly puzzled.

He hadn't dealt with this company before, he just registered a promotional account in the company's software system.

And his customers in Unova are almost non-existent. Mr. Bourgeois is just an antique collector, he doesn't play battles, so no matter what, he shouldn't be famous in Unova. He is just a passerby.

"No, I have other things. And you are Miss Ye Zi, right? Nice to meet you."

Xiang Guangtai chatted with Ye Zi and soon became familiar. After all, she was also the protagonist of "FireRed/LeafGreen". Compared with Red's "..." setting, Ye Zi did not inherit Red's mute setting. She is a very optimistic and cheerful girl.

It's just that her strength is a bit too powerful, often beating Blue to his knees.

"Unova is very keen on battles. I heard that there is a Battle Subway specifically for battles, and recently it seems that a new academy specializing in battles is going to be built on the resource development factory on the seabed! It's really exciting. I will definitely travel to Unova in the future!"

More and more people are in the group chat, most of them are elite trainers, but soon, Miss Zhu Lan also joined!

The myth explorer joined the group chat!

But she didn't speak immediately, just sent a smiley face emoji and tagged Xiang Guangtai.

"Shopkeeper, I have important things..." Lance suddenly sent a message to Xiang Guangtai: "I heard from the Sinnoh Champion that you made a prop specifically for Dragon-type Pokémon to protect against Ice-type moves!"

Lance and Miss Zhu Lan have both traveled around the world and have some friendship with each other. In order to train her Garchomp, Miss Zhu Lan once visited the Dragon's Den in the Johto region. After all, that is one of the hometowns of all Dragon Tamers. After all, as Champions, fighting crime is their unshirkable responsibility, although many Champions are paddling most of the time, at least Lance is really doing things diligently.

"So that's it. There is indeed such a prop. It just so happens that I am in Unova now, so I will send it to you through the logistics of Castelia City."

"That's great, as for the price..."

Lorelei: "Ha! What do you mean? A prop that can make Dragon-type Pokémon completely resist Ice-type Pokémon! How can there be such a thing! Lance, what are you going to do!"

Lance: "It doesn't matter, right? Anyway, you are not the current Elite Four, there is no competitive relationship. People who have retired should not be so excited! Powerful props should be given to the right people to exert their effects. Letting Dragon-type Pokémon no longer fear the cold is my dream!"

"Dragon is a sacred creature in legends. Such a creature should match such a powerful prop!"

The group chat was talking hotly, but there was some commotion outside the café at this time.

"Team Plasma is starting to give speeches again." The guitarist who was playing the guitar in the café also sighed: "In the streets and alleys, people are attracted by them and gradually join their team."

"Letting humans and their Pokémon separate, but not asking about the feelings of Pokémon, just moving themselves wishfully. Beautiful melodies can make people happy, and sad melodies can make people worried... What I heard from Team Plasma's speech are all the cries of Pokémon."

【Celebration Mission: Listen to Team Plasma's speech.】

【Obtain: Release Orb.】

【Note: Something is sending you a message.】

"Eh?"

Xiang Guangtai frowned slightly, quite puzzled.

This is an item taking the initiative to send him a "mission"?

"Give... uh?" Aegislash is very interested in the guitarist's words. That Team Plasma is the liar's nation-building organization, right!

Xiang Guangtai: "Oh, do you want to make them make a fool of themselves in public? I can't fight a team alone, but since you intend to listen, let's go. It just so happens that something is sending us a message here."

"Release Orb, what is this thing..."
