Chapter 258: Brother Z's Pokémon Divine Techniques

"These Poké Balls are to avoid waste," Allen explained patiently.

"The three magical scrolls conjure very powerful transformed beasts, but that also means the cost of making these magical scrolls is very high... very high..." Allen emphasized, stressing his tone.

"I've nearly gone bankrupt for this!" Allen said helplessly.

Hearing Allen's words, Harry and the other two actually breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's not so bad then! It shouldn't be that many Jin Jin Jialong, so let me cover the Jin Jin Jialong for making the scrolls!" Harry said generously.

Allen, who occupied two of the three "tall, rich, and handsome" traits, stared in surprise at Harry, who only occupied one, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

"Are you sure?" Allen managed to say after a while.

"I'm sure! Everyone knows your financial situation — after making these scrolls you didn't go bankrupt, only nearly bankrupt, which means making the scrolls didn't actually cost that much money." Harry conducted a meticulous deduction.

Ron and Hermione nodded appreciatively as well.

Allen was left speechless by Harry's deduction; he hadn't expected that at this moment his knee could still be struck by an arrow named poverty...

"Making these scrolls cost me nearly 700 Jin Jin Jialong..." Allen squeezed out from between his teeth.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione all sucked in a cold breath at the same time. They all knew Allen wouldn't lie about this matter, and they all understood the purchasing power of 700 Jin Jin Jialong — after all, Mr. Weasley's prize money for winning the Daily Prophet's annual grand prize during the summer vacation was only 700 Jin Jin Jialong, an amount enough for the Weasley family to vacation in Egypt for quite a long time.

Ron couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva as he looked at the three scrolls. "700 Jin Jin Jialong is quite a big pile, isn't it? Are these scrolls made of gold?"

"Although I don't know how you scraped together 700 Jin Jin Jialong, I imagine it must have been a very difficult process. If the cost of these scrolls really is 700 Jin Jin Jialong, then I absolutely cannot accept these three scrolls." Harry suddenly spoke up — 700 Jin Jin Jialong was also a very large sum of money for him.

A warm current inexplicably welled up in Allen's heart. He hadn't expected Harry to react this way, and he instantly felt that this week's hard work was completely worth it.

"Don't dwell on this — the things are already made. Besides, in my eyes you are far more important than 700 Jin Jin Jialong." Allen said with a smile. "Furthermore, if Sirius Black doesn't show up during the time I'm away, then these three scrolls won't be used, and the 700 Jin Jin Jialong won't be spent."

Harry was momentarily convinced by Allen, and didn't know what to say.

"Allen, what did you mean just now when you said these Poké Balls are to avoid waste?" Hermione noticed the atmosphere was off and quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"The transformed beasts conjured by these scrolls can persist for over thirty hours, but defeating Sirius Black probably won't even take half an hour, so the remaining thirty-plus hours would likely be wasted. These Poké Balls have the Undetectable Extension Charm permanently cast inside them, which can store the transformed beasts inside, and the transformed beasts stored in the Poké Balls will be 'frozen' in duration — you can release them again when you need them to protect you."

"This way the duration of the transformed beasts conjured by these scrolls will be utilized to the maximum extent, which is what I meant by avoiding waste." Allen explained patiently.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione had lost count of how many times they'd been surprised today. Although they didn't know how Allen had made these Poké Balls, they were once again surprised by Allen's thoughtfulness and thoroughness.

Actually, the cost of these Poké Balls wasn't high — he had three spheres custom-made in Diagon Alley with the Undetectable Extension Charm permanently cast inside, and it only cost him a few dozen Galleons, because the space inside these Poké Balls was much smaller than his own.

"The method for using these three Poké Balls is also very simple. When you want to capture a transformed beast, you just need to throw the Poké Ball at its head. When you want to release the transformed beast again, you just throw the Poké Ball on the ground,

and the Poké Ball will automatically open and release the transformed beast. These Poké Balls are very sturdy, so don't worry about breaking them by dropping them." Allen continued explaining.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione carefully played with the Poké Balls in their hands, all feeling very novel.

"Actually, using the Poké Balls to summon the transformed beasts is much more convenient than using the scrolls to conjure them. Logically, I should have let you use up these scrolls directly, then use the Poké Balls to capture them, so it'd be very convenient next time you need them."

"But considering that Sirius Black wouldn't be on guard against your action of using the scrolls — after all, he couldn't possibly imagine these scrolls would have such miraculous effects."

"And if Sirius Black doesn't show up and these scrolls aren't used, then I can recover some of the magical materials from the scrolls, which is why I didn't have you use up the scrolls directly right now."

"But when you encounter real danger, don't hesitate to use these scrolls." Allen shrugged and said in a relaxed tone.

"Allen, you've already done more than enough for us." Harry said, a little moved.

"Alright, what can I do — we're friends. Next, I'm going to start explaining some precautions." Allen's expression suddenly turned serious again.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione quickly sat up straight and listened attentively.

"You must use these scrolls secretly, then secretly command these transformed beasts. It's best not to let others see any connection between you and these transformed beasts. Using a scroll is essentially you casting a Transfiguration spell. You all know that if the caster dies, the effects of the cast spell will immediately disappear. You are actually the weakest link in these transformed beasts, so not exposing this point is the greatest protection for you."

"It's also a form of protection for me. If you don't expose your connection to the transformed beasts, then others can't associate me with the transformed beasts through them, and my secrets can be protected to some extent."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione hurriedly nodded, saying they would definitely keep this in mind.

Allen thought for a moment and realized he had already explained everything he needed to.

So he distributed the scrolls in his hand one by one to Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

The scroll Ron received was black, the scroll Hermione received was blue, and the scroll Harry received was white.

Then Allen thought of something else, and his mischievous streak resurfaced: "If you encounter some powerful enemy that even the transformed beasts find hard to deal with, you can shout 'Hold on!' or 'Dodge!' at the transformed beasts — maybe a miracle will happen..."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were once again full of question marks...
