Chapter 89

"So what exactly is going on? Didn't snatch the talismans again."

In a ruin in the Paldea region, Raifort looked at the Pokémon device in her hand depressedly. On it was Xiang Guangtai's shop, and the Cleanse Tag and Spell Tag launched this time were bought out again!

She only snatched ten or so and they were gone!

"Who exactly is buying these talismans? Clearly found a treasure shop, but now there are a bunch of people snatching these useful talismans. Can't those spirit mediums make them themselves?"

"Things like talismans should be used in the right place. For example, people like me often enter ruins to take away precious treasures, and for this, I have to bear the risk of various curses. Grave robbing in ruins is life-threatening. Who else is more suitable to use these talismans than me?"

Beside Raifort who was complaining, Gengar and Zoroark were giggling. They are Raifort's Pokémon, followed Raifort into ruins I don't know how many times, and it was the first time they saw Raifort have such a depressed expression.

"Gengar!"

Gengar patted Raifort on the shoulder, indicating that this kind of thing is common!

Isn't it... not right, you clearly snatched them!

"I only snatched a dozen or so. How is this enough? This kind of talisman is a consumable item that breaks after one use. Of course, I have to prepare hundreds of them. There are curses everywhere in some ruins."

Celestic Town.

Cynthia wore the Cleanse Tag and handed it to an old woman — she was Cynthia's grandmother, Professor Carolina.

"Oh oh, it is indeed very similar to the craft of ancient amulets, and the carving style is also... The pendant composed of the shell and the core, could this be the true face of the ancient amulet?"

Professor Carolina examined this amulet and looked at Cynthia: "So, you plan to go to the Johto region for investigation recently?"

"Yes... but I have to deal with some things on hand first. It will take some time. And it's not just the Johto region, my ultimate goal is to go to the Shendu land."

Cynthia's expression was serious: "That forgotten ancient land has similarities with ancient Sinnoh. I confirmed this in my conversation with Professor Rowan."

"But before that, I want to conduct research on this pendant. The conclusion reached so far is that this pendant is made of a stone that has not been discovered and a strange crystal. It slowly releases energy outward, and this energy is very similar to Pokémon with 'Clear Body'."

"At the same time, the strange texture on the pendant also seems to be guiding a mysterious energy."

"If I go to Shendu, I will come back as soon as possible. Team Galactic seems to have some big moves. Although they haven't shown their feet yet, I feel they are plotting something. Speaking of which, this organization is a bit abnormal..."

"I saw in ancient literature that there seemed to be a Team Galactic with the same name in the past. I don't know if it has any relationship with the current Team Galactic."

"Is that so? If you want to go, take this with you." Professor Carolina found an amulet. It looked similar to an ancient amulet, but it was not the same.

"This is an amulet passed down from the ancient Sinnoh period. The purpose of making it seems to be to pray to a certain god. The stone used is also the relatively rare Sky Blue Jade."

"It is an item called 'Safety Amulet'."

"In terms of carving technology, it also has a certain similarity with this Cleanse Tag."

"If possible, invite him to Celestic Town. He might be able to make the lost ancient amulet manufacturing technology of Celestic Town reappear in the world."

Cynthia nodded with a smile: "I know, I will invite him."

And Professor Carolina suddenly thought of something and hurriedly added: "Right, and that!"

"I saw a thing called 'Double-Pickles' in his shop, but it has already been bought by someone, and it is out of stock now. If possible, help me bring one back? If you can get the production craft, that would be even better!"

"Oh oh, is it the Charcoal that is hotter than the Charcoal in Ilex Forest!"

"Can improve the power of Fire-type Pokémon moves, and Fire-type experts are buying it?"

Sinnoh region, Sunyshore City, a man with red afro hair and a yellow top is looking at the shop interface of Xiang Guangtai. He is Flint, one of the Sinnoh Elite Four, and an expert in Fire-type.

For Shell Bell and Focus Sash, although he is also very interested, the one that attracts him most is the item called "Charcoal"!

"Can improve the power of Fire-type moves, and if carried for a long time, it can make Fire-type Pokémon stronger. Is this a special item tailored for me!"

"Electric-type item, Electric Glass Whistle..." Beside Flint is Volkner, the Gym Leader of Sunyshore City.

He has yellow hair, a blue top, is Flint's good friend, and is very strong.

"Speaking of which, where did you know about this shop?" Volkner looked at Flint, and Flint spoke carelessly: "Of course I found it myself! I heard that the Charcoal in the Ilex Forest in the Johto region is very famous, so I took the initiative to search."

"How is it, the result is not bad, right! Don't be discouraged, the owner of this shop often launches some strange items. Look at these strange glass whistles. I only heard that the glass whistles in the Hoenn region are very famous, but the glass whistles there don't seem to have so many unique abilities!"

"As long as my team is fully equipped with this kind of Charcoal, my ranking in the Elite Four will advance again! Maybe there is a chance to challenge the Champion! I have been waiting for this day for a long time! Just thinking about it makes me boil with excitement!"

Volkner also touched his chin to think, and soon pressed the order button.

This kind of strange item must be bought. Although in terms of move enhancement, this kind of glass whistle is far inferior to natural magnets, it has two extra effects.

"Electric Glass Whistle, after the trainer or Pokémon blows it, it can perceive electrical energy, which can better cultivate Electric-type Pokémon. In the electrical perception state, it will not be hit by the opponent's moves in critical spots."

"Electrical energy, is it the electric ions in the natural world? If it can gather electricity, then the role of this glass whistle is indeed much more powerful than a magnet."

"It is very suitable for cultivating Electric-type Pokémon."

Like Flint dreaming of challenging Cynthia and becoming the new Champion of the Sinnoh region, Volkner is also preparing to challenge the Elite Four, pull one down and go up himself. It's just that because the challengers were too weak some time ago, he had no fighting spirit.

But it doesn't matter, a few children came recently, and with their help, he has already regained his spirits.

As a Gym Leader, one still has to get used to the reality that the level of challengers is uneven, and should set goals in a more long-term place!

Galar region, outskirts of Motostoke, Galar Mine No. 2.

A man with slightly graying hair is panting, and beside him is a Pokémon with a long body, like a fire centipede.

He is Kabu, the Gym Leader of Motostoke, and the Pokémon beside him is his partner Centiskorch.

Centiskorch, a Fire + Bug-type Pokémon, has a body like a centipede with twelve segments, a bright red body, a dark brown back, four burning flames on the head and tail, a yellow heater on the abdomen, and a total of ten pairs of legs.

Because there are many Water-type Pokémon in Galar Mine No. 2, Kabu chose to train his Pokémon here. However, there have been too many lost matches recently, and Kabu's mentality has undergone some changes.

After experiencing arduous training, he was still defeated by challengers. Although part of it was because he let water go himself, even so, his Pokémon shouldn't be so fragile.

"Ku" Centiskorch's mood beside him was also a bit low, and Kabu noticed this and immediately comforted it:

"It's okay, old friend. We will continue to become stronger. The failure now is only temporary. Next time we will work harder."

"Ku!" Centiskorch nodded. It will continue, always believing in Kabu.

However, after Kabu comforted Centiskorch, he himself fell into confusion.

Is there something wrong with his training method and cultivation method? Perhaps it's not the Pokémon's fault, but his own fault.

"Methods for cultivating Fire-type Pokémon..." Holding the mentality of trying, Kabu opened the Pokémon device.

A long time ago, when he was still a trainer in the Hoenn region, he once received care from a Fire-type Elite Four, and learned many techniques for cultivating Fire-type Pokémon from him.

Later, in order to embark on a stronger path, he left Hoenn and came to the distant Galar region for training, and became the Gym Leader of Motostoke here. Many years have passed in a flash.

Is it because I am already old? Is the past cultivation method no longer working?

Kabu smiled bitterly in his heart, and searched for cultivation items related to Fire-type on the Pokémon device. Perhaps he should buy more Charcoal to help his partners recently.

"Eh? This is?"

"Charcoal?"

A strange shop was searched by Kabu. There are not many products in it, but they all have strange descriptions, which makes people feel unreal. Among them, an item called Charcoal attracted Kabu's attention.

Charcoal from Ilex Forest? Right, speaking of which, isn't the most famous Charcoal the Charcoal from Ilex Forest in the Johto region? Although Lavaridge Town in the Hoenn region also has similar Charcoal burning technology, it seems that because the materials are very different, there is a big difference in effect.

"The power of Fire-type moves will be significantly improved, and if Fire-type Pokémon carry it for a long time, the Fire-type energy will also gradually improve, and it can stimulate the potential of Fire-type Pokémon...?"

"Is the Charcoal from Ilex Forest such a powerful thing?"

Kabu was a bit puzzled, and searched for other news about the Charcoal from Ilex Forest, but unfortunately, the Charcoal shop in Ilex Forest hasn't started doing online business yet, and only runs offline physical stores.

Holding the mentality of trying, Kabu thought carefully, and still clicked to place an order.

Although the price is a bit expensive, if this Charcoal really has the effect written on it, perhaps it can really help him.

Johto region, in the Dragon's Den in Blackthorn City, a boy with red hair is also flipping through Xiang Guangtai's shop through the Pokémon device.

He was training with Pokémon in the Dragon's Den, and because of some accidental reason, he searched for this shop that sells battle items.

After reading the content of the shop's products, after a little thought, he bought "Double-Pickles".

Unova region, Castelia City, Fashion Street Street Building.

Battle Company, 55th floor.

An old man dressed like a cleaner is looking through the Pokémon device. He is the president of this Battle Company, named Fennel.

Originally, he just intended to search for news about battles on the Internet, so as to better collect battle data and feedback from the public, so as to update a certain virtual battle software, but he didn't expect to find something interesting!

What exactly are the items in this online shop?!

"Hoo hoo, found something more interesting!"
