Chapter 44: Snorlax and rare pokemon

Vermilion City.

Night.

Water Flow Auction House.

Gary and Sabrina came to the auction house.

Because the auction house is relatively high-end, those who come to participate in the auction need to spend a lot of money to buy an admission ticket.

One admission ticket costs 20,000 pokedollar, which directly prevents people without money from joining in the fun.

This auction will auction a total of 10 Pokémon, and they are all unknown. It is only known that the potential of the 10 Pokémon will not be lower than the gym level. This is the only public information.

As for wanting to bid for rare Pokémon at the auction, forget it. The auction here is formal, so the Pokémon auctioned are common or slightly rare Pokémon.

Rare Pokémon are like the three starters and Scyther. Even Lapras, a Pokémon that is rampant in the Alola Region, is still a rare Pokémon in the Kanto Region and is prohibited from being sold.

Although rare Pokémon can be purchased from the black market, even quasi-gods can be bought, but they cannot be used to participate in competitions, because formal Trainers need to register Pokémon information.

Rare Pokémon protected by the Pokémon Alliance are all in fixed quantities. If the quantity is less, they will be investigated immediately.

Rare Pokémon in the wild are hard to find. Many illegal hunters will go to the hunting ban area to capture rare Pokémon and sell them on the black market. If any unlucky person buys it, he can only keep it as a pet and cannot use it in formal occasions. Once used, he will be targeted by the police.

"Welcome guests, I am the auctioneer of tonight's auction."

At 8 o'clock, the auction officially began. The auctioneer stood in the center of the booth and introduced with a microphone: "Tonight's auction will auction 10 Pokémon with gym potential or above. Please see the first one below."

As soon as the voice fell, five or six auction staff members pushed a large cage to the booth, and a huge Pokémon was imprisoned in the cage.

"Snorlax!"

"Such a Pokémon would be auctioned."

"Snorlax is too greedy, no one wants it."

The guests in the audience had no interest in the Pokémon in the cage.

"You are not interested in this?" Gary was stunned. Snorlax was actually despised.

You know, when playing the Pokémon series, Snorlax blocked the way. If there was no Pokémon flute, Snorlax could not be awakened at all.

And Snorlax is a super model among the Pokémon in Kanto Region. It has 540 Species Strength, 160 of which is allocated to physical strength. Its durability is very good. With leftovers and Rest skills, it can't be killed at all.

You know, among all the Pokémon of Ash, Snorlax can be said to have the highest KD rate. Every time it goes on the field, it will definitely take away a Pokémon from Rival, and even two or three. Its record is more impressive than that of Old Spray/ Charizard and Pikachu.

But when it was put on the auction, people here didn't have any interest at all.

Gary obviously overthinks. Snorlax is indeed powerful, but Snorlax is also really lazy. Its laziness is only slightly lower than Slaking. It is impossible for it to compete normally.

In addition, Snorlax has a large appetite. Although it can eat cheap thorns, as a Trainer, how can it stay in the place where thorns grow for a long time? Therefore, it is a big problem to raise Snorlax. After all, when a Trainer travels, the rations that can be carried are limited.

However, this is nothing for Gary, because Professor Oak has a special fullness energy cube, and only two cubes are needed to fill Snorlax's stomach.

But...!

[LV28 Snorlax♂/Gym]

The level of Snorlax in front of him is too low. Gary has captured enough Pokémon so far, and he needs to improve their potential later. If he captures Snorlax again, it will be difficult to allocate resources later.

So I had to miss this Snorlax.

"This Snorlax was found in the Orange Islands. Its ability is immunity. Its skills include Tackle, Rest, Sleep Talk...!" Owner began to introduce Snorlax's data in an orderly manner.

Gary was also quite surprised. It seemed that Ash's Snorlax was captured during the Orange Islands trip, but it should not be the same one. Ash's Snorlax was very powerful, at least with the potential of Elite.

"The starting price is 3 million! Each bid must not be less than 100,000. Now the bidding begins." Owner announced.

"310!"

As soon as the voice fell, another woman raised a sign.

"320!"

But soon, another man raised a sign.

Although everyone doesn't like Snorlax very much, there are still people willing to spend money to buy Snorlax with gym potential. After all, those who can enter here still have rich families.

In the end, this Snorlax was sold for four million.

Then, the second Pokémon... is a Horsea.

The appearance of Horsea immediately attracted cheers from the audience.

Horsea is a relatively rare Pokémon, and its appearance is also very cute. It is deeply loved by Stephanie's children. The key is that Horsea has dragon blood in its body. After evolving into Seadra, it can use Dragon Scale to evolve into Kingdra with Dragon Type.

Especially this Horsea has gym potential, which immediately caused cheers from the audience. The bid reached 5 million in a few minutes, and finally sold at a price of 6.8 million.

The Pokémon that were subsequently pushed up for auction were also very ordinary, namely Nidoran♂, Totodile, Teddiursa, Shellder, Oddish, Zigzagoon, Bidoof, Shinx.

Among the ten Pokémon, there are Pokémon from other regions, but they are all very ordinary Pokémon. There are only a few that are worth Breeder, but they all have good potential.

But none of them can make Gary's heart move. If there is only one Pokémon that is worth Gary's heart, that is Shellder.

Because this Shellder is Flash, Gary always remembers the task issued by the system. As long as he captures 10 Shiny Pokémon, he can get the advanced Flash amulet.

Unfortunately, Shiny Pokémon are very rare no matter where they are. Everyone present has money. When the Shellder was auctioned, the price instantly reached eight figures, which directly discouraged Gary.

After all, Shiny Pokémon is just different in appearance from the same kind, and there is no change in other aspects. If it is within eight figures, Gary is willing to buy it. If it exceeds eight figures, it is too much of a loss to buy a Shellder with gym potential.

"It's a pity that the Pokémon auctioned today don't have what we need." Sabrina said regretfully. She also wanted to see if there was a Slowpoke with gym potential at the auction, but unfortunately there was none.

"Let's take a look tomorrow. If there is none, forget it." Gary said.

"Yeah!"

Sabrina nodded.

The two were about to get up and leave. The lights in the auction suddenly dimmed, leaving only a beam of light shining on the center of the stage.

"What's wrong?"

Gary was stunned, thinking that there was some Pokémon coming up at the auction.
