"It's simple. Our family has nothing but mines." Steven waved his hands without the slightest problem.
It is good to have mines at home.
When can I find a mine for myself?
You don't have to occupy all of it, just keep half of it for yourself.
Aoki couldn't help thinking in his heart.
"How is Aron?" Steven was still more concerned about the Pokémon who left their house.
"It's pretty good. I haven't trained him yet. He was under too much pressure before. He doesn't look like a Pokémon of this age at all. After playing with some Pokémon who are similar to him for a while, he has a lot of fun. It's good. His personality hasn't changed at all." Aoki said with a smile when he thought of Aron's appearance.
"It's his blessing to be able to follow such an excellent trainer and breeder like you. In the future, he may really be able to surpass his grandfather. No, he should definitely be able to surpass him." Steven sighed.
Aoki's seriousness and responsibility to the Pokémon is the first step for Steven to recognize Aoki.
"I kind of want to go to Verdanturf Town with you to have a look." Suddenly, Steven said something out of context.
Aoki glanced at Steven in surprise, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Why are you so empty?
Just came back and went out again.
Steven also understood what Aoki meant, and smiled with two rows of teeth showing, "I'm not going out to play, but to investigate the environment of Verdanturf Town. By the way, let's take a detour to Mount Chimney. It is said that there are precious volcanic rocks on it. I didn't check carefully last time, some wild Pokémon on the mountain are also a bit strong, if there is a helper, it will be relatively easier."
You are justifiably using Verdanturf Town as a shield, and going to Mount Chimney is your real purpose, right?
Aoki was a little speechless.
But for Aoki, this proposal is also a bit tempting.
Mount Chimney is the largest active volcano in the Hoenn area, and it is known that there are many people who come here every year.
But more people can only go to the mountainside of Mount Chimney, which is already the limit.
Further up, safety cannot be guaranteed.
The above is the place where only the more powerful trainers can go.
There is a large area of wild Pokémon that have not been developed to survive.
More importantly, there must be some precious ores in a natural active volcano like Mount Chimney. If you are lucky, you might be able to get some Fire Stones and sell them for a fortune.
The current Aron and Larvitar need to consume a lot of ore. If you can get a batch of good-quality ore there, it is also a good choice.
"You don't need to explain it to your family?" Aoki asked.
Hearing this question from Aoki, Steven smiled, knowing that Aoki agreed.
As long as Aoki agrees, it will be fine.
To be honest, the two realized that now, how much strength each other has, is really not clear.
Steven definitely concealed his strength, and Aoki is 100% sure of this.
At the same time, Steven is also skeptical about whether Aoki is hiding his strength.
I always feel that Aoki's strength should not be limited to this point.
"No, I still have the opportunity to control my own time now, and it may not be so in a few years." As he said, Steven showed an expression that Aoki couldn't understand.
This is the sorrow of the heirs of a big family, what they get, they must give.
Speaking of this, Aoki suddenly thought of James, who is the only heir of a big family in Team Rocket, but joined Team Rocket.
The only purpose is to get rid of the shackles of the big family and want to do what he likes, even if he doesn't have enough to eat every day, he still has to run around.
But this is what James likes.
Unlike James, Steven took on such a responsibility, but before taking on this responsibility, he had done all the things he wanted to do.
This is the main reason why the Stone family and Devon Corporation did not restrict Steven's choice at all.
Steven and James are two completely different people.
Although their identities are similar, their choices are different, and the results are also different.
To this, Aoki could only nod his head.
Steven has Steven's choice, and he also has his choice.
Wandering between the two behemoths of the League and Team Rocket, if you want to take advantage of both sides, then you must be prepared to be exposed at any time.
And at that time, they will either be completely devoted to one side, or they will have enough strength to be unfettered.
Even if Aoki were to fall, he might only fall to Team Rocket, but it did not prevent him from admiring Steven.
Steven is also a very charismatic person.
The two left the Devon Corporation building. Even though Steven's secretary tried his best to stop him, the wayward Steven still left with Aoki.
"I'll go home first, prepare things, and then bring the ore you want. You can also go back and prepare. We will meet in Verdanturf Town. The time... will be at twelve noon tomorrow. See you at the gate of the Pokémon Center in Verdanturf Town."
"Okay, this is the money to buy ore, and there are 10 million Pokecoins in it. You can see how much you can buy. The higher the quality of the ore, the better." Aoki handed Steven an anonymous bank card.
This was prepared by him in advance, and the purpose was to buy ore from Steven.
Steven did not refuse either, the previous Aoki had no strength, he offered help to Aoki, now that Aoki already has such strength, then he will not refuse any more.
The brothers are still clear.
The two parted at the gate of Devon's company.
Steven drove to his home in his special car.
After Aoki walked out of Rustboro City, he flew to Verdanturf Town on a Tropius.
To go out on an adventure with Steven, there are some things that need to be prepared.
The most important thing is that some Pokémon Aoki is planning to arrange a little bit, and then Aron and their training will also be put on the agenda by Aoki.
Going out with Steven this time is a very good training opportunity.
Aron, Mudkip, Poliwag, and Torchic are all trainable now.
Larvitar still needs to wait for a while, but judging from his current growth rate, it is estimated that it will be soon.
Returning to Verdanturf Town at the fastest speed, Aoki entered the backyard.
Going out this time, as a League trainer, some Pokémon Aoki is going to exercise in the backyard, and only take some Pokémon out.
Then take the four little guys out to exercise, and at the same time let them know what a real fight is.
This is what these little guys hope for most now.
It may be a matter of course, today Aoki summoned Torchic, after getting along for a period of time, Torchic's aptitude finally stabilized at the dark blue level.
With this kind of qualification, plus the acceleration feature, it will be a trump card in Aoki's hands in the future.
