Chapter 144 Seaking Chikorita
Artificial Pokemon!
What a novel term, and the Quantity of this Pokémon is less than twenty in the entire World, what a huge gimmick!
Bai Feng didn't have much thought about Porygon, but when the research Veteran Author Fu La Da Li saw that Porygon, his Eyes were practically glowing.
Soon the Auction for Porygon began. The Red-Skirt Lady barely needed to promote it; the numbers flashing on the large Screen were dazzling.
The Starting Price for Porygon was 10 million, and the bidding exceeded 100 million almost in the blink of an Eye.
This Porygon represented more than just a Pokémon; it represented a gimmick. It not only had collection Value, but also research Value and development Value.
When the bidding jumped to 700 million, the numbers on the large Screen slowly began to slow down. By the time it reached 800 million, there were only a handful of Others still bidding.
When it reached 900 million, even fewer people remained. At this Point, Fu La Da Li made his first and only bid.
"1 billion!"
One-hit knockout!
Just like that, for 1 billion, Fu La Da Li took that Porygon into his pocket.
With that, this grand Auction concluded.
Before long, staff from the Auction House came knocking on the Door with the Auction Items Bai Feng and Fu La Da Li had won.
Bai Feng had won a total of three Stuff: Special Training Set, Ability Patch, and S-Rank Star Peach Fruit Tree Root.
The Special Training Set was 15 million, the Ability Patch was 2 million, and the S-Rank Star Peach Fruit Tree Root was 50 million. In this one Auction, Bai Feng spent 67 million. If it weren't for his Mom winning some Money at the Arena, even selling Bai Feng wouldn't be enough to pay for it!
After checking that the received Auction Items were indeed without Problem, Bai Ye paid the Money readily and immediately put the Power Lens on her Eyes; the size was just right.
Of course, the size of this Power Lens was adjustable, and its appearance was also very exquisite. After Bai Ye put it on, she even gained a touch of intellectual beauty.
Hello, Bai Ye Teacher!
After admiring her beauty for a while in front of the full-length Mirror in the VIP Room, Bai Ye nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing that Bai Ye had already put on the Power Lens, Bai Feng released his other Pokémon and distributed the remaining Training Items to them.
Bai Feng gave the Power Belt and Power Band, which can train Defenses, entirely to the defensive Pokémon Carbink.
Carbink's Body is cone-shaped, so wearing the Power Belt looked a bit funny, but it didn't care.
The Power Band, however, looked fine tied to the top of Carbink's Head.
This Band was quite advanced; its color could be adjusted. By pressing a small Button at the end of the Band, its color would change accordingly. Each press changed the color.
Bai Feng adjusted the Band to a color similar to the Diamond on Carbink's Body, then tied it to its Head. It looked pretty good.
Just as Bai Feng was tying the Band onto Carbink, he suddenly Discover that some Variation seemed to be happening to Carbink's Body.
"Wait, Carbink, when did your Eyes turn pink?" Bai Feng asked in surprise.
Normally, Carbink's Eyes are azure blue, very bright and clear, but Bai Feng now Discover a hint of pink appearing in his Carbink's Eyes, right in the center of the pupils.
"Meixi?"
Carbink didn't know either; it looked at Bai Feng with a confused expression.
"Fu La Da Li, Bai Ye, come take a look for me. See if I'm seeing things?" Bai Feng waved to Bai Ye and Fu La Da Li.
The pink glow in Carbink's pupils was very inconspicuous and seemed to be flickering, so much so that as Bai Feng looked, he felt like he was having a hallucination; that hint of pink seemed to be there, and yet not there.
Hearing this, Fu La Da Li and Bai Ye both came closer. After confirmation from the human and the Pokémon, it was confirmed that Bai Feng was indeed not seeing things; there was truly a faint, almost imperceptible pink glow in Carbink's pupils.
Bai Feng said with an Excited expression: "It seems the Effort I've put in these past two years hasn't been in vain! Carbink might really have the possibility of mutating into Diancie!"
Fu La Da Li also knew a bit about Bai Feng's Agreement with Others to train Carbink into Diancie, so he likewise happily congratulated Bai Feng.
"Congratulations, congratulations. You've taken another step closer to your goal."
"For now, it's just a small step. It's still far from true success!"
Carbink was also very happy in its Heart. It also wanted to mutate into the powerful Diancie soon and become the most special existence among Carbink.
Next, Bai Feng gave the Power Bracer to Larvitar. This Bracer was also adjustable in size, so even though Larvitar's wrists were thin and short, it could still wear it Smoothly.
After Larvitar received the Bracer, although it was very happy in its Heart, it pretended to be completely indifferent. It put its two small hands behind its back and walked back and forth in front of everyone. It would also secretly lift its small hands for a quick look when Others weren't paying attention, then quickly put them back behind its back.
This little appearance was extremely interesting.
Actually, everyone noticed its little actions, but no one exposed it.
Bai Feng gave the Power Anklet to Heliolisk. It is a Pokémon known for its speed, so this was perfect for it.
A pair of Anklets were put on its ankles, and the color was adjusted to be Similar to its skin color. If you didn't look carefully, it would be almost difficult to notice that it had Stuff on its feet.
Although the Power Anklets didn't look bulky, they were actually quite heavy. Heliolisk is not a Power-type Pokémon, so after putting on the two Anklets, it seemed very unable to Adapt.
After putting on the Anklets, Heliolisk felt its Body was very heavy and it no longer had its previous agility. To Adapt to the feeling of wearing the Anklets, it jumped around in the VIP Room.
At the same Time, Bai Feng tore off the packaging of the Ability Patch and stuck it on Heliolisk's Head. This needed to be worn for a period of Time to take Function.
"Heliolisk, be careful these next few days. Don't rub off the patch on your forehead, it cost several million!"
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Heliolisk nodded while jumping.
Finally, the Power Weight. Bai Feng gave it to Chikorita under Brionne's expectant gaze. Chikorita jumped and bounced happily, while Brionne looked as if struck by lightning.
=(*) Why does everyone else have one, but I don't? Some even have two, this isn't fair...
Brionne moved to the Corner and became withdrawn.
At this Time, Pidove landed beside it and patted it with its Wings, saying: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't have one either."
Brionne: How can we be the same? I'm Bai Feng's Starter Pokémon, you're just a little Brother.
Pidove: ...
The Power Weight was a Small Bundle. Bai Feng put it on Chikorita's back, making Chikorita look a bit strange.
But it didn't matter, Chikorita itself was very happy. It tried hard to twist its Head to look at the Power Weight on its back that was Similar to a Backpack, but its neck was too short and it couldn't see it at all.
So it jumped and bounced, but completely forgot to go look in the Mirror that was only a couple of steps away.
Originally, Bai Feng hadn't noticed the dejected Brionne until Bai Ye quietly poked him with her elbow.
Only then did Bai Feng realize that, given Brionne's Personality, if everyone else received a Gift and it didn't, it would definitely be withdrawn for several days.
At this Time, Fu La Da Li quietly walked up to Bai Feng, slipped a Mystic Water into Bai Feng's hand, and motioned towards the withdrawn Brionne in the Corner.
Fu La Da Li's observation skills were truly strong, and his emotional intelligence was truly high.
Bai Feng gratefully gave Fu La Da Li a thumbs-up: Thanks, good Brother!
This Mystic Water was originally bought by Fu La Da Li for his Gyarados. Now, he had to use it to help Bai Feng out in a pinch. Anyway, Mystic Water wasn't a rare Held Item; it was sold in general Pokémon Tool Shops. He could just go buy another one later.
Seeing Bai Feng turn to comfort Brionne, Bai Ye walked over to Fu La Da Li and silently transferred the Money for the Mystic Water to Fu La Da Li.
Although a Mystic Water was insignificant to Fu La Da Li, they couldn't just take advantage for free, especially when Fu La Da Li had proactively offered help.
Fu La Da Li wasn't being sentimental either and readily accepted Bai Ye's transfer.
Bai Feng walked over to Brionne and suddenly took out the Mystic Water.
"Ta-da~ Brionne, look what this is?"
Brionne looked at the Necklace in Bai Feng's hand (the Mystic Water had been made into a Necklace style), first slightly stunned, then a huge Smile bloomed on its face.
(ω) "Silai~ Silai~" Is this for me?
Bai Feng nodded: "Of course! Everyone else got a Gift, so you naturally get one too. This Mystic Water Necklace can boost the Power of Water-type Skills!"
"Silai~ Silai~" Mm~ mm~ It's really beautiful.
Brionne nodded repeatedly. It knew Bai Feng definitely wouldn't forget it.
Because it was too happy, Brionne completely forgot that this Mystic Water was not among the Auction Items the staff had just delivered.
At the same Time, Bai Feng also breathed a sigh of relief in his Heart: Fortunately, he managed to bluff his way through!
"It's beautiful, right? Come, I'll put it on for you."
As Bai Feng spoke, he put the Mystic Water Necklace around Brionne's neck. The blue Water drop Gem and Brionne's blue skin complemented each other, and it indeed looked very good.
After putting on the Mystic Water Necklace, Brionne also quickly ran in front of the Mirror, looking left and right, being incredibly vain.
Pidove, standing on the table not far away, saw this scene and was expressionless: So I'm the only clown!
Bai Feng quickly cast an apologetic look at Pidove.
Pidove flapped its Wings and landed on Bai Feng's shoulder. It then heard him whisper to it: "I'll get you another Gift later."
Pidove was immediately satisfied. It wasn't as calculative as Brionne, who wouldn't be okay with a late Gift or being forgotten. As long as Bai Feng was willing to think of it and give it the Benefit it deserved, it was very satisfied.
The Auction was over, and Bai Feng and the Others planned to leave the Auction House. The Root of the S-Rank Star Peach Fruit Tree that Bai Feng bought would be directly delivered by the Auction House to Fu La Da Li's Villa District.
However, before Bai Feng had left the VIP Room, their Door was knocked on again.
Bai Feng opened the Door and saw that standing outside were Hua Cai, Ying Zhou, and... Kojiro?
Although Kojiro looked short and small and had a Mushroom cut, Bai Feng recognized this cute and charming villain Member at a glance.
"Bai Feng, Ying Zhou and I came to see you. Are you surprised? Unexpected?" Hua Cai said with a chuckle.
Bai Feng said: "Very surprised, very unexpected!"
Ying Zhou also said with a Smile: "Long Time no see! Oh right, this is my younger Brother Kojiro. He was bored staying by himself, so I brought him along."
Bai Feng smiled and greeted Kojiro, "Hello, Kojiro. I'm Ying Zhou's Friend. My name is Bai Feng."
Kojiro nodded while holding his Growlithe Plush Toy and said: "I know you. I heard Ying Zhou Miss talk about you."
"That's truly an honor." Bai Feng thought the young Kojiro was quite cute.
At this Time, Kojiro poked his Head into the Private Room, looked at the Pokémon inside, and asked: "Are those all your Pokémon?"
Bai Feng nodded: "Yes. Do you want to play with them?"
"Okay, okay!" Kojiro said, then squeezed into the Private Room through the gap in the Door.
"Kojiro!" Ying Zhou still wanted Kojiro to be more polite, but Kojiro was already playing happily with Chikorita, Larvitar, and Pidove.
At this Time, Fu La Da Li walked over. After greeting the two girls, he excused himself and left first. He told Bai Feng to return to the Villa District by himself after his gathering with Hua Cai and Ying Zhou.
After Fu La Da Li left, Bai Feng invited Hua Cai and Ying Zhou into the Private Room. The three of them chatted here for a while and then decided to go play somewhere else together.
By this Time, Kojiro had completely gotten familiar with Bai Feng's Pokémon. Among them, he played best with Chikorita.
Just as Bai Feng and the Others were getting up to leave, Chikorita suddenly started shaking its Head wildly. With a "crack" sound, the Leaf on its Head fell off.
What a familiar scene.
"Chika~ Chika~"
Chikorita pushed the Leaf towards Kojiro with its foot.
Kojiro picked up the Leaf in surprise and said: "Is this a Gift for me?"
"Chika~ Chika~" Chikorita nodded.
Kojiro touched the mark where the Leaf had broken off on Chikorita's Head and said with heartache: "But if you give it to me, you won't have it anymore!"
"Chika~ Chika~"
Chikorita shook its Head. Its little face wrinkled up, and it strained for a long Time as if constipated. Immediately, its whole Body emitted white light, and the Leaf on top of its Head grew back with a "whoosh".
Kojiro touched Chikorita's newly grown Leaf in surprise. "So it can grow back! Then I'll accept this Leaf you gave me. It's proof of our Friendship." Kojiro said innocently.
Saying this, Kojiro carefully folded that wide Leaf twice, then solemnly took out a Silk Handkerchief to wrap it up, and finally carefully put it away in his pocket.
Seeing this, Hua Cai chuckled, "Your Chikorita still likes giving Gifts to Others so much."
Bai Feng shook his Head helplessly.
Afterwards, Bai Feng went out with Hua Cai, Ying Zhou, and Kojiro to play around. Along the way, Kojiro kept holding onto Bai Feng's Chikorita and wouldn't let go. Chikorita also acted very affectionately towards him, making Bai Feng almost jealous.
But as soon as Chikorita saw Bai Feng was jealous, it would run to Bai Feng's side and keep using Charm. After coaxing Bai Feng, it would happily go play with Kojiro again.
Bai Feng: Hmph~ Little heartless one, I knew you were a little Seaking!
Because Hua Cai and Ying Zhou were leaving Wyndon with their Family tomorrow, they didn't know when they would meet again next Time. So, the few of them played until dark before parting ways.
