Chapter 842 836: The Auction Begins!

"Tyranitar's Mega Stone!"

"I didn't expect to find it so easily."

After checking the entire free trade zone, Ethan obtained six Mega Stones.

One of those Mega Stones belonged precisely to Tyranitar!

With that, the objective for which he had come to the free trade zone had already been half completed. Next, he only needed to find Slowbro's Mega Stone and the mission would be complete.

Of course, he also knew that everything depended on luck.

He also knew that finding Tyranitar's Mega Stone in the free trade zone was already extremely fortunate. Wanting to find exactly Slowbro's Mega Stone had a very low probability.

"There are no more Mega Stones. I don't know if this auction house will have any."

Ethan stopped continuing to stroll through the streets and headed directly to the auction house, intending to participate in the auction that was about to begin.

To participate in this auction, he had borrowed a large sum of money from the Pokémon Researchers Guild.

There was no other option. In this world, being a Pokémon researcher was synonymous with money and status. Knowledge was power, and it was also money.

Ethan, with the auction invitation in hand, arrived directly at the auction house.

Guided by a young and beautiful waitress dressed in a sensual evening gown, Ethan entered a luxuriously decorated room.

From the treatment he received, it could be seen that the invitation Ambassador Roland had given him was not simple at all. It undoubtedly belonged to the level of distinguished guest.

And that was indeed the case. That invitation belonged to Ambassador Roland himself. With his identity as the representative of the Daleron League, naturally he was one of the most important guests of the auction house. Now Ethan could be considered to have benefited from it.

"This auction really attracted a lot of people."

Ethan sat on a comfortable sofa. In front of him was a transparent one-way glass wall.

Through that glass wall, Ethan could clearly see the auction platform and the seats below.

As expected, the seats were already completely full. That showed how large the scale of this auction was.

"It seems there really will be good things in this auction," Ethan murmured.

In reality, Trainers with certain connections usually learned in advance about the objects that would appear in an auction.

Only when very attractive objects appeared would so many people gather.

As for Ethan, since he had already decided to participate in the auction, he did not bother too much to investigate.

When the objects appeared, if any interested him, he would simply buy them.

"Lucario, Slowking, come out, you two."

After sitting down in the room, Ethan took out his Poké Balls and released Lucario and Slowking.

As for the other Pokémon, because of the limited space in the room, he did not release them.

Lucario and Slowking possessed very strong detection abilities. Perhaps they could help him discover something.

Thus, time passed quickly.

When night fell, the auction officially began.

"Esteemed ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you..."

On the platform, a beautiful auctioneer stepped onto the stage and began the presentation.

"I know all of you are already impatient, so I won't say any more nonsense. Let us go directly to the main matter. Let us welcome the first item of our auction."

Following the auctioneer's words, Ethan saw an enormous object covered with a black cloth appear on the platform.

"It's Teleport!"

"Using Teleport to transport the auction items... that really is interesting."

Ethan watched with interest, silently waiting for them to reveal the first item.

"Deiinn!"

In the next instant, before they had even removed the black cloth, the roar of a young dragon suddenly sounded.

Then, a gust of wind rose on the stage and removed the enormous black cloth.

Under the cloth was an iron cage. Inside, one could see a Pokémon similar to a young sauropod dinosaur, with a blue body and a dense black mane on its head.

"It's a Deino!"

"The first item of the auction is the offspring of a pseudo-legendary?"

Seeing this scene, Ethan was also surprised.

This auction house really started strong!

"Esteemed guests, just as you can see, the first item of our auction is the offspring of Hydreigon, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon!"

"You can rest assured. The origin of this Deino is completely regular, and it has legal breeding certificates."

The auctioneer explained from the stage and also showed Deino's corresponding documents.

In the Tavaria League, the buying and selling of Pokémon was completely legal. Therefore, after hearing the auctioneer's words, everyone became excited.

"Now that the product presentation phase has ended, our first round of bidding begins."

After presenting Deino's situation in detail, the auctioneer directly began the auction phase.

At that moment, the atmosphere of the entire place had already become heated. As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, a large number of people began bidding.

In only a few minutes, Deino's price kept soaring, showing the value a pseudo-legendary Pokémon should have.

"A Dragon-type pseudo-legendary really is worth money."

"Looking at it this way, obtaining two adult Dragon-type pseudo-legendaries with limitless potential directly from Dragon Valley was an enormous gain."

Seeing this scene, Ethan jokingly thought inwardly, somewhat moved.

In the end, this Dragon-type pseudo-legendary offspring was bought by a Trainer who looked like a rich young man, at a price three times higher than the base price.

Seeing this, Ethan shook his head slightly.

Raising a Dragon-type pseudo-legendary well was not easy at all.

Especially in the case of a Dragon-type pseudo-legendary offspring. To make it evolve all the way to its final form, it was necessary to pay an enormous price.

And regarding that rich second-generation Trainer, Ethan strongly suspected his motivation for buying Deino. He probably just wanted to show it off.

"It seems all our guests were very satisfied with the first auction item. Then let us continue. The second auction item is also something special."

"This is a mutated Fire Stone. According to the appraisers' judgment, this Fire Stone can further draw out the potential of a Fire-type Pokémon during its evolution process."

After Deino's auction ended, the auctioneer began to introduce the next item.

Although she praised that mutated Fire Stone to the skies, there were not many people in the venue willing to buy it.

Seeing this, Ethan also shook his head. In that Fire Stone, there was indeed very powerful Fire-type energy, but that energy was too violent. An ordinary Pokémon truly might not necessarily be able to control it.

In addition, although the energy inside that mutated Fire Stone was strong, it still could not compare with a supreme-quality Fire Stone.

The Trainers present did not lack money. If they truly wanted to evolve a certain Pokémon through a Fire Stone, they would undoubtedly first consider a supreme Fire Stone, and not this mutated Fire Stone.
