Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 669 Mysterious Crystal
Late at night.

They prepared to try to get along with the steel or rock-type Pokémon on the mountain to see if there were any Pokémon with a predestined relationship willing to leave with them. The Nemo and his friends returned to Daigo's mansion first.

There are guest rooms prepared for them here. After a night's rest, it would be more appropriate to go there early in the day.

After all, night is the sleep time for most non-nocturnal Pokémon, and persistently harassing them will easily leave a bad impression.

Adu originally wanted to take Dragonite directly back to Kanto Alliance to report on his work, but at Daigo's request, he agreed to stay and rest for a night so that Dragonite could recover some of its energy.

As for Luo Mu and Xiao Gang, they were directly invited to Daigo's private collection room.

Although it is called a private collection room, its scale is comparable to that of a small museum.

Even the buildings are stand-alone, built on the side of the "luxurious" mansion.

Daigo personally has collected countless priceless items, and the security of his collection room is also quite strict.

——However, there shouldn’t be many fools who would set their eyes on a champion’s collection.

Otherwise, just one champion player guarding here would be enough to sweep them away.

Unless those criminals with advanced technology particularly need a certain piece of the collection, they are too lazy to invade here. It is not worthwhile to make enemies with a champion and Devon Company for no reason.

After a rigorous verification process, the door leading to the collection room was opened to the three people.

I heard Daigo say apologetically that it was his father who insisted on installing a security system here, otherwise he would only need to use the key to open the door and take Luo Mu and Xiao Gang in immediately. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.

Luo Mu and Xiao Gang looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

This... They don’t know how to comment on it.

But what is surprising is far more than just the strict security system in front of them. The moment the two of them, led by Daigo, walked into the collection room, they gasped when they saw the things displayed in the huge space as the lights gradually lit up.

The exhibition racks are arranged in an orderly manner inside the space. Under the special glass covers, there are stones of various colors lying quietly, all the dust has been carefully wiped off, as if they are enjoying the treatment of rare treasures.

There are some very ordinary grey stones at first glance, and there are also some very dazzling gems that are obviously priceless at first glance.

Even though the number of collections was less than Luo Mu had expected, the quality was better than expected.

Daigo pressed a button in front of an exhibition booth, and the glass cover automatically dropped, exposing the collection inside to the outside air.

It was a pure and beautiful pink diamond under the light.

Daigo picked it up carefully, as if he was caressing the hand of his lover, with an intoxicated look on his face, and his eyes were full of affection under his unexpectedly long and dense eyelashes.

Xiaogang felt that if he were a woman, he would instantly fall under the attack of Daigo's eyes.

"I bought her at an auction in a region called Carlos. At that moment, the moment I saw her through the transparent glass, my heart was struck."

Daigo doesn't know the origin of pink diamonds, nor does he care about their expensive price.

All he knew was that he fell in love with it at first sight, so he bought the pink diamond and took it back to Hoenn to keep it as a treasure.

Luo Mu, who was watching this scene, said: "."

I'm a stone-sexual pervert.

Come to think of it, Daigo, who treats stones as his lovers, actually gave stones to himself and Xiaogang. What's the difference between this and giving away his "girlfriend"?
Suddenly I became a little curious about what Daigo was thinking.

At this time, Daigo had already put the pink diamond back on the exhibition stand, carefully wiped off his fingerprints with a handkerchief, and then began to introduce his other collections.

This time, the collection looks like an ordinary gray stone with a strange shape and has no value in itself.

But Daigo still likes it very much and treats this stone with the same attitude as pink diamond.

Luo Mu and Xiao Gang originally thought that after Daigo introduced a few to them, they would let them choose here, and then everyone would go back to their rooms and go to bed.

——But Daigo seemed to be determined to tell the story of himself and the stone from beginning to end until dawn.

Seeing that sleepiness was attacking his cerebral cortex, Luo Mu felt that this was not a solution. Under Xiaogang's admiring expression, he interrupted Daigo's continuous output.

".Well, why don't we take a look ourselves first?"

As the number one man most wanted to marry in the Hoenn region, Daigo has a good family upbringing and high emotional intelligence.

Of course, not necessarily outside of anything stone related.

In short, at a glance, one could see the already noticeable dark circles under Xiaogang’s dark face.

Daigo immediately realized his problem.

He loves stones, but he won't impose his ideas on others.

After the battle during the day, both Xiaogang and Luo Mu should be very tired and in urgent need of rest.

It was really inappropriate for him to do so.

He said apologetically, "Sorry, I got lost in it again. Just watch it. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

Xiao Gang breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely, "My hometown, Deep Gray City, is also rich in various stones. My father has also done some research on this. If Mr. Dawu doesn't mind, I can chat with you all day tomorrow."

“Then it’s a deal!” Daigo’s eyes lit up.

Xiao Gang nodded seriously, "It's a deal!"

Looking at them, a smile from the heart appeared on Luo Mu's face.

Compared to Dujuan, Brock, the rock-type gym leader, actually has a good compatibility with Daigo. The two actually have similar preferences, except for Brock's sexual fetish.

After all, everyone knows that Daigo is a stone lover.

Influenced by his father's martial arts, Xiaogang has a considerable amount of knowledge about stones.

It would be surprisingly pleasant for the two of them to chat.

"Looks like I don't have to save face anymore, that's good."

After murmured something and greeted the owner of the collection, Daigo, Luo Mu walked around in the collection room.

I have to say, Daigo's collection is indeed very attractive.

For example, ordinary evolution stones of various attributes that can allow Pokémon to evolve have already met the stringent requirements of shape, color, and energy saturation.

Among them are also rare items such as meteorites and comet fragments.

Luo Mu also saw a wet rock as big as a basketball.

This is much larger than those palm-sized wet rocks on the market.

It’s a pity that it’s still a little small.

Thinking of the two-meter-wide wet rock at the bottom of Thunder Lake on the farm, which was big enough for a person to lie on, Luo Mu felt that he still needed to practice using this wet rock.

That thing is a rare treasure that cannot be measured in value.

By the way, if Daigo has the chance to visit the farm, let him take a look. I wonder what his expression will be? Thinking of this, Luo Mu couldn't help but look forward to it.

Once Daigo finishes his series of things, he should be free when Satoshi challenges the Kalos League.

Luo Mu continued to move in the collection room, and soon a large number of fossils of various shapes appeared in front of him.

Shell fossils, carapace fossils, secret amber, root fossils, claw fossils.
Although the quantity is small, there is basically stock of each type.

As for the subsequent fossils of the Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, and Galar regions, they do not exist in this collection room.

Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that Daigo didn't go to these areas to dig stones for a long time.

After looking at the fossils, Luo Mu's eyes fell on a pile of shiny gems of different shapes, but the common feature was that they were all shiny gems.

To be honest, Luo Mu didn't have any feelings about most of the collections.

Don't you want it?
Of course not. Although I want something valuable, the desire is not that strong yet.

At this time, he was already considering finding a precious gem, bringing it back to Padia and entrusting Ye Ci to find the Yuan Dynasty person at the auction.

That way at least we can save some money for building the Eco-Dome in the future.

He is a vulgar man, and he doesn't have any elegant hobby of collecting collections. Choosing gems, which are originally labeled as monetary transactions, should not be considered as trampling on Daigo's intentions.

What hurt him more than these gems was the fact that the stones that were obviously dug and selected by Daigo himself were sold.

Among these gems, Luo Mu also discovered the evolution key stone and multiple super evolution stones.

Following Daigo's example, he opened the glass cover and picked up the round "glass bead" with a light green background and orange and dark green gene spiral patterns. Luo Mu whispered, "This should be the evolution stone of the Lizard King."

In addition, there are Mega Evolution Stones corresponding to Blizzard King, Cursed Doll, and Absol.

As for the corresponding evolution key stones, Luo Mu saw three of them.

Don’t think that this seems like a small number, but these are the items that Daigo collected unconsciously.

Now that Genji has demonstrated the existence of Mega Evolution in the exhibition match that day, the corresponding information should soon appear on the desks of senior executives in the Hoenn region.

Even though the news will be kept secret from the general public for a while, people of Daigo's level will definitely be able to get the news first.

By then, with Daigo's financial resources and his knowledge of stones.

There is no doubt that whether purchased or dug up personally, there will be more and more Evolution Key Stones and Mega Evolution Stones in Daigo's collection in the future.

And when Daigo discovers his own set of evolutionary items, his strength will leap forward again.

Putting the stone back on the display stand, Luo Mu let out a light breath, then turned around and prepared to pick up the sapphire he had previously favored, which was named "Heart of the Ocean".

But at this moment, his peripheral vision fell on a corner, on an exhibition stand that he had just accidentally overlooked.

Just one glance and Luo Mu was stunned.

Of course, he didn't recognize the collection, and the reason for his stay was not because he knew the value of the collection.

Just the moment his eyes fell on it, he felt an inexplicable throbbing.

The appearance of the collection is not actually outstanding, and the surface is covered with thick rocks and dust. For some reason, Daigo did not clean it.

And in the midst of these insignificant rocks and dust, a piece of crystal with a color almost light blue and its rounded curves is exposed in some areas.

The crystal itself, from a limited visibility perspective, doesn't have anything special to offer.

But for some reason, as soon as he saw this object, Luo Mu's eyes were glued to it and he couldn't move them away.

Perhaps because Luo Mu stayed here for a long time, Daigo, who was introducing fossils to Xiaogang, came over and asked with a smile, "Have you taken a fancy to anything?"

Luo Mu blinked and wanted to say the sapphire, but he pointed at the crystal and asked, "What is this?"

Daigo's gaze fell on the collection, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It’s not that he was sad that his “precious” collection was discovered, but he didn’t expect Luo Mu to be interested in this crystal.

After a brief consideration, Daigo began to explain: "Specifically, I don't know what TA is, or what special abilities he has."

"The only thing we know is that this mysterious crystal has a special energy inside it, which can't be used by any known Pokémon."

"So, I call it "Mysterious Crystal". At present, the secret of it is still unsolved."

"Mysterious Crystal."

Luo Mu lowered his head and murmured these four words.

A voice suddenly came from behind.

"Mr. Daigo, I have made my decision."

The two turned around and saw that it was Xiaogang who was also walking over.

He held a piece of secret amber in his hand, as if this was a decision he had made after careful consideration.

Daigo asked solemnly, "Have you really made up your mind?"

Daigo just told Xiaogang that the genes preserved in the secret amber can only be identified when they are extracted, and there is no guarantee that it is a fossil pterosaur.

Among them may also be fossil Pokémon such as Ammonite and Tentacle Lily.

On the contrary, fossils with specific appearances for reference make it easier to determine which ancient Pokémon it belongs to.

But after a difficult decision, Xiaogang decided to choose this secret amber.

He would be willing to resurrect any fossil Pokémon.

Xiao Gang nodded heavily, "I've made up my mind!"

Seeing this, Daigo's handsome face showed a smile, "Since this is your decision, I will not interfere."

"I will arrange for someone to airlift the fossil resurrection device back tomorrow."

"Thank you Mr. Daigo!"

Xiaogang bowed deeply to Daigo solemnly.

Then he looked up at the exhibition stand in front of him.

To be honest, Xiaogang is quite curious about what collection Luo Mu will choose.

But when Xiaogang saw the light blue crystal with only the tip of the iceberg exposed in the exhibition stand, a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Huh? Why does this crystal look familiar to me?

Xiaogang tried to recall more details, but he still couldn't remember where he had seen something like this "mysterious crystal" before.
