Chapter 617: Raise the price? The Slaking that got thoroughly cursed out!

"In ancient times, and this is a snowfield region—there should be Pokémon like that here, right?"

Bai Jing stepped onto his Aegislash and continued deeper into the snowfield.

Sure enough, scattered figures of a special kind of Pokémon could be seen walking about.

Elegant and beautiful, with long, slender necks—the Glaceon and... wait, no—the Aurorus and... hmm, let me just say it plainly: the elegant, beautiful, long-necked Ice Dragons and Giant Ice Dragons.

If it weren't for the fact that seeing this kind of Pokémon in ancient times was very difficult—modern times do have fossils, but fossils of this Pokémon are extremely rare, even rarer than those of the Tyrantrum.

The reason is that Ice Dragons can only live in icefield regions, and even if there are fossils, they're very hard to be discovered.

Aurorus and... 990... Giant Ice Dragons moved about in groups of two or three, sometimes as few as two, sometimes five or six.

Bai Jing landed in front of a group made up of two Giant Ice Dragons and two Ice Dragons, drawing their wariness and curiosity.

Their wariness was because they had never seen a human before, and their curiosity was also because they had never seen a human before.

This kind of Pokémon has a gentle and steady temperament; as long as you don't provoke them, they generally aren't very aggressive.

"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm!"

Bai Jing used telepathy to convey his goodwill, soothing their uneasy emotions.

"I hope to have a companion from your kind. Would any of you be willing to come with me?"

Bai Jing expressed his intention to capture one.

Unsurprisingly, the Giant Ice Dragons refused.

"Then pardon the intrusion!"

If this one won't do, find the next one. When dealing with this kind of gentle Pokémon, one can't be as rough as with the previous few kinds.

However, the result disappointed Bai Jing. After searching several groups, a few Ice Dragons were clearly tempted, but the Giant Ice Dragons' attitude was very firm—no meant no!

Bai Jing finally understood: they move in family-style groups. As parents, the Giant Ice Dragons naturally didn't want their children to be taken away by a sudden, unknown creature.

So that someone could only sigh helplessly, "Truly worthy of a steady-tempered species—so cautious and steady!"

But giving up like this left him unwilling. To obtain this super-rare Pokémon—pass up this village and there won't be another shop like it!

"System, old man, do me a favor, help me find a lone one with high potential (cfbg)."

"Ding! Nine o'clock direction, six kilometers away, hurry!"

"Got it, thanks, System, old man!"

Bai Jing hurriedly flew off on his sword!

Well, actually it was Aegislash carrying him there—nothing to do with sword-flying.

Arriving at the destination, he didn't see any Pokémon in sight.

"System, old man, where is it?"

Just then a burst of anxious, panicked cries came. Bai Jing followed the sound and was immediately shocked!

He saw an Ice Dragon pinned under a massive boulder, with only a section of its head sticking out, its face now full of panic and helplessness.

No wonder the System was so easy to talk to this time—turns out a Pokémon was in trouble!

"Don't worry, I'll save you right away!"

Who would have thought that as soon as Bai Jing approached, the Ice Dragon panicked even more, crying out nonstop, its voice growing weaker and weaker.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you!"

Bai Jing didn't dare approach for the moment, and could only use telepathy to convey goodwill, soothing its fearful emotions.

Under his patient soothing, the Ice Dragon finally gradually calmed down.

"It's okay, I'll get you out right away!"

Bai Jing released his Slaking, "Lift the boulder away. Be careful, don't hurt it!"

Slaking rolled its eyes, snorting and grunting to indicate the price would have to go up!

"Raise the price?"

Bai Jing glared, "Raise my ass—want that instead? Believe it or not I'll smack you?"

"Now get to work!"

Slaking gave a start, hurriedly ran over and lifted the boulder, with a certain MMP in its heart wondering whether it should say it or not?.
