Chapter 217 Do you have a bounty?

...

"Looks like Druddigon has a lot of good stuff in his collection."

Natsu's flashlight swept across the skeletons in the stench of the Cave.

And in these piles of bones, he found some interesting things, such as a Crimson's prismatic spar he just dug out from the thick pile of bones, exuding a faint light, while providing a little warmth.

In his hand, he could feel the constant heat being transferred from the crystal to the palm of his hand.

"Druddigon chose this cave as his home, probably because of this rock?"

Heat Rock.

A type of Pokémon Items.

Can make the Pokémon with this Items cast Sunny Day, or cause Sunny Day due to "Drought" Characteristic Trait, to extend the duration of sunny weather.

This is a very useful Item for some Trainers and Pokémons that use sunny weather as their core tactics.

And Heat Rock is relatively rare, and the value is not low.

But for the current Natsu, it doesn't have much effect.

Of course, it can be put up for sale.

However, buyers may not be easy to find, after all, only a few Trainers understand the importance of these core tactics, and most Trainers conquer Pokémon just by their own preferences or luck.

And among the trainers who understand the importance of the core of tactics, only a very small part of them take sunny weather as the core of tactics.

Finding a suitable buyer is not easy.

If you can't find it, you may have to accept the price that black market traders deliberately set down.

However, this wasn't too much of a problem for Natsu.

Because he has a friend who is a stone expert and has a huge network of connections, he should deliberately find a suitable buyer and offer a suitable price.

At this time, the importance of the relationship network is reflected.

In addition to this "Heat Rock", Natsu also found some good stuff, but the value will not be higher than "Heat Rock".

It's better than nothing.

An (elite) Druddigon can already be exchanged for a lot of money.

"Perhaps, I can think about adding a new member to our team."

He now has more or less 4 million Alliance Coins in hand. There are also two intermediate rank quality Fire Stone and Water Stone obtained from Agatha and Pryce respectively, plus this Heat Rock, and a Reaper Cloth whose value has not yet been determined.

Should be able to barely sustain the daily consumption of four Pokémon.

Actually.

Not every Trainer has continuously increased the resources invested in Pokémon like Natsu.

Even, people like him only make up a very small part.

The really common situation is that similar Pokémon, similar breeding methods, similar resource input, and similar training results will eventually create similar Trainers and Pokémons.

Also known as "Passerby A and Passerby B".

With the resources he has now, it's more than enough for others to raise three or four Pokémon.

"Almost there, there should be nothing good."

After rummaging again and making sure there was nothing of value, Natsu was about to leave.

"Togetic?"

But when Natsu was about to leave, he saw Togetic glowing faintly, looking at the deepest rock wall of Cave, fascinated.

"Cha Ke Yi"

At the same time, in his shadow reflected by the dim light, Marshadow also stuck out his head, and his orange eyes looked at the rock wall like Togetic. .

"What's wrong? Togetic?"

Natsu asked softly, walking over to him.

"Just right."

Togetic shook his head.

It doesn't know either, the halo on its body is slowly converging, but there is an indescribable feeling.

Natsu couldn't help but ask, "Is there something hidden behind this rock wall?"

In the underground Tunnel under the dark ruins, the original Togepi have a strange perception and fluctuation of the rock wall where the Dusk Stone is condensed.

It was only when Agatha finally got there that she learned that there were a large number of Pokémon bodies buried behind the rock wall.

For Togetic, who can perceive happiness, sometimes its perception, its intuition, is often deeper than what the naked eye can see.

This made Natsu have to make an association.

"Just right."

But Togetic still hooked the head.

This time it is determined that there is nothing behind the rock wall, it is a solid mountain structure.

Natsu hesitated slightly, but decided to leave first. If something really happened, he wouldn't be able to deal with it.

"Let's go." picked up Togetic and moved towards the outside of the cave.

Togetic is much larger than the evolved Togepi, but it is still smaller than Abra, and it is not too unconventional to hold in his arms.

leave the cave.

took a deep breath.

It's still fresh air.

"Count the time, even if pirates do attack the San Anus, it should be over now, right?"

No matter which side wins in the end, Natsu feel like should catch up.

He traveled aboard the St. Annus, not alone.

After all, it is very dangerous to act alone on the vast sea, even with the support of Water Type Pokémon.

"Tomorrow dawn, leave the island. If the San Anus is safe and sound, you can take advantage of the night to go back. If the pirates succeed, you should go back to land and find another ship."

But Natsu felt it.

Santa Annus, one of the very best cruise ships, has no reason not to be able to withstand a wave of pirate attacks.

Even if these pirates have a plan.

"Beer!"

Suddenly.

Beedrill let out a low cry, and the light flowed over the scarlet compound eyes, passing a long distance, and landing on the small town where they landed.

Natsu's narrowed eyes followed Beedrill's line of sight.

I saw a faint light spot like Tail Glow in the dark night.

"Fire?"

Natsu was taken aback.

He remembered that there were no living people in the town.

Then there is only one explanation.

Outsiders.

A few thoughts flashed through my mind.

"Abra."

Abra nods, Psychic wraps them, Teleport, and soon arrives at the broken wooden pier at the edge of the town.

Since it is an outsider, first of all, it is necessary to confirm that the other party is who.

Entering the town, you must land from the wooden pier on the south side, and other places are not suitable for boats to land.

Sure enough.

On the pier there is only one fairly firm wooden stake, tied with ropes, and the other end is a small wooden sailboat.

Natsu's eyes soon fell on a small flag on the ship.

Scarlet Skulls are emblazoned on this banner.

"Scarlet Star?"

Natsu's face darkened.

"Is it passing here by accident, or is it a targeted operation? This ship can only hold one person at most, so. Scout?"

He didn't forget that in the small On Orange Island, a crew member of the "Scarlet Star" was dealt with, it should be said that he was the newly appointed sailor.

"According to the Gwen's captain, it is very likely that the one who planned the San Anus was also the 'Scarlet Star'."

"So, the operation failed? Fleeing around and approaching here unintentionally?"

"The traces of my activities on the island are not deliberately hidden. As long as I have a little experience, I can know that there are still people on the island, and I can confirm my existence."

next moment, he stopped thinking.

Because

people have come!

"Sure enough, there are still living people on this island, just click on the torch to attract you." The voice of cold and severe came.

"Suddenly appearing at the dock, the same energy fluctuation just now, is it .Teleport?"

A burning gaze fell on Abra next to Natsu.

Teleport This move is very popular in the wild.

The silhouette is slowly approaching, dressed as a pirate, followed by a Crawdaunt.

Natsu wasn't too surprised,

Just suddenly asked, "Do you have a reward?"

"en?"
