Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

Daigo gave an awkward laugh, clearly aware that he looked rather disheveled.

However, at this moment, he was itching to find Haoyan and hurriedly asked, "Where is Haoyan!"

"The training ground inside the dojo."

"Okay, I understand!" Daigo replied, quickening his pace as he hurried in the direction Keiko had indicated.

... ...

"Mr. Daigo?"

Standing on the training field, Haoyan saw Daigo, who looked like a drowned rat, and almost didn't recognize him.

If he hadn't once been a guest at Daigo's house and recognized his presence, he wouldn't have dared to speak at all.

With a bang, Daigo threw the box in his hand to the ground, and a clattering sound immediately came from inside.

Then, like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey, it greedily grabbed Haoyan's arm and said urgently, "I've brought everything you wanted!"

"Quick! Give it to me now!!!"

Having spent years mining ore in desolate mountain caves, Daigo developed incredible arm strength, gripping Haoyan so tightly that it hurt.

Haoyan used a clever move, slightly shifting his body to the side, and disarmed Daigo's two iron hands, saying, "You, you wait a moment, I'll go get it for you right away."

"it is good!"

Daigo adjusted his breathing, barely suppressing the hunger in his heart.

A moment later, Haoyan took out a pearl the size of a fist and came out of the room.

Upon seeing Hiroyuki, Daigo was overcome with desire. The composure he had just suppressed immediately returned to his mind, and he quickly ran to Hiroyuki's side.

He snatched the fist-sized pearl from Haoyan's hand as if he were grabbing it.

While gently stroking the pearl with his palm, he said with rapt attention, "Perfect and flawless!"

"This is simply the most precious treasure in history!"

"Nature's incredible craftsmanship has created such a perfect and enormous pearl!"

"Its shimmering luster seems to hold the mysteries of the universe!"

“… …”

Haoyan looked at the engrossed Daigo with a somewhat speechless expression.

That's right, Vulpix failed to evolve and needs more attribute stones, and Haoyan immediately thought of Daigo.

Let's see if we can buy some attribute stones from Daigo.

As a professional mineral collector, Daigo should have a large number of attribute stones.

Daigo generously offered to give him attribute stones instead of charging him money.

However, during their video chat, Daigo happened to see a fist-sized pearl displayed in Haoyan's studio.

This fist-sized pearl is the same giant pearl that Haoyan obtained in the Stone Cave before.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy at this time.

When Haoyan moved the camera closer, Daigo jumped up.

He expressed his delight, saying he wanted the pearl.

"Hoo!" Daigo let out a heavy sigh, looked at Haoyan with some uncertainty, and said, "Director Haoyan, are you really willing to exchange this priceless treasure for my trash?"

"Garbage?"

Haoyan opened the box that Daigo had brought, which was full of ice and fire attribute stones.

Among them are many high-quality goods.

I roughly estimated that there are at least 300 of them.

With so many of them, there's definitely enough to feed Little Six-Tail!

Haoyan immediately turned around, looked at Daigo seriously, and said, "I do!"

"Use this priceless treasure of mine to exchange for your trash!"

"This enormous pearl can only shine when it is in the right hands!"

Daigo's face was full of surprise and excitement, but he still hesitated slightly before asking, "Director Hiroki, are you really willing?"

As he spoke, he hugged the huge pearl tightly, refusing to let go.

Judging from his delighted expression, even if Haoyan disagreed, he wouldn't return it.

"I do!" Haoyan nodded seriously once again!

"Great!"

"Thank you so much!" Daigo was like a child who had received an Ultraman toy and was overjoyed.

... ...

In fact, when Haoyan obtained that giant pearl, he had already used scientific methods to test whether there was anything special about it.

No, there's nothing special about it.

It usually just serves as a decoration.

The inorganic components of that pearl are mainly calcium carbonate, accounting for 95%, with the remaining 5% being trace elements such as aspartic acid, threonine, and serine.

Its composition is similar to limestone, only its form is different.

Perhaps it's because it's similar to limestone that Daigo is interested in it.

For Haoyan, being able to exchange for so many valuable attribute stones was a huge win!

For Daigo, exchanging some ordinary attribute stones for this peerless treasure was a huge win!

Both sides were very happy!

... ...

Chapter 322 Evolution of the Vulpix

"Haoyan, what do you need so many attribute stones for?" Daigo carefully hid the huge pearl in his arms and asked Haoyan curiously.

"I'm preparing these for my Vulpix's evolution." Hao Yan squatted on the ground, sorting the attribute stones that Daigo had brought.

Put the ice aside, and the fire aside.

Haoyan underestimated the number of stones; after sorting, there were nearly 400.

"Six-Tails only needs one attribute stone to evolve, why do you need so many?" Daigo asked curiously.

“I tried it before. My little six-tailed fox absorbed one, but the energy wasn’t enough to meet the standard for evolution,” Hao Yan said casually as he stood up.

"One isn't enough?"

"This is the first time I've heard of this," Daigo said absentmindedly, stroking the enormous pearl in his arms.

"Hehe, my little six-tailed fox is a bit special," Hao Yan replied casually.

"Alright, then I won't keep you any longer!"

"I'm going back now!" Daigo was already eager to go back.

Take your time to appreciate the rare treasures he has acquired.

Moreover, subconsciously, Daigo felt that Hiroki had been taken advantage of!

Fearing that Haoyan might go back on his word.

"Okay, I won't see you off." Haoyan waved his hand casually.

"Okay, I'm leaving!"

Steven quickly left the training ground, and as soon as he left the Slateport Gym, he summoned his Skarmory and took off swiftly.

... ...

"Xiao Lu, call Xiao Jiu back."

Hao Yan said to Gardevoir, who had been following him.

"Shanai~"

Gardevoir nodded, closed its eyes, and released its psychic powers to find Vulpix, who was playing outside on Charizard.

Not long after, 'Dragon Warrior' Little Six-Tailed returned to the training ground on her mount.

"Ow~"

The Charizard was exhausted and was panting heavily as soon as it returned.

While carrying Little Sixtails outdoors, you also have to release a bright sunny day.

After all, it was raining quite heavily outside, and we couldn't let Xiao Liuwei's soft fur get wet at all.

The last time I took Vulpix out for a ride, it got a beating from Gardevoir because it got a little rain and dust on it.

Moreover, Gardevoir didn't cook for him at all that day.

He was hungry all day.

Finally, having no other choice, he went to Haoyan to ask for a favor, which ended his day of hunger.

Charizard only regrets itself, wondering why it has these wings.

... ...

"Xiao Jiu, what I've prepared for you this time should be enough for you to absorb."

Haoyan showed Xiaoliuwei the attribute stones placed on the ground.

"Mimi~"

Little Six-Tailed Fox happily ran to Hao Yan's feet, rubbed against him, and then looked at the two piles of attribute stones.

"Go ahead." Haoyan rubbed Xiao Liuwei's fluffy head.

"Mimi~"
