Chapter 18, Dark Gray City Specialty

The dark gray city is also the inscription of the city of Nibi: dark gray is the color of the rock-solid gray black.

Today, Dark Grey welcomes a new traveler, Yuuki.

After arriving in Dark Ash City, Yuki first arrives at the Pokémon Center. After giving the Pokémon a check-up and treatment as usual, Yuki prepares to deliver some honey from the Big Needle Bee to Dr. Oki and Aunt Hanako.

While still on the outskirts of the Tokiwa Forest, Yuki followed the path of the leader of the Great Needle Bee and found the large Needle Bee colony.

Because he didn't want to waste too much time, Yumu deliberately chose one in the big steel snake group as the main combat force, but because of its size, he didn't choose the huge big steel snake, and the huge big steel snake was a little angry, so Yumu persuaded it well.

After that, the leader of the big needle bee led the way all the way.

Came to the large needle beehive, sneaked in, and was unexpectedly discovered.

When the leader of another big needle bee indicates that it was you kid who brought the enemy in.

Yumu took the big steel snake to directly attack tactically and smashed the Yellow Dragon.

The leader of the Great Needle Bee and a group of Great Needle Bees put up a desperate resistance, but failed to penetrate the armor of the Great Steel Serpent.

In the end, the leader of the big needle bee could only watch as Erwuzi took the enemy and snatched one-third of the honey in the nest and walked away. And he brought the tribe to tears to farewell.

After the raid, Yugi quickly left the Tokiwa Forest and finally arrived at Dark Ash City.

After packing the package in the room at the Pokémon Center, Yuuki went to the Pokémon Center's courier office to deliver it.

Then pick up the Pokémon and enjoy a delicious lunch together.

During lunch, the grass seedling turtle and the small diamond are very reassuring and work hard.

The key circle is more dishonest and has a larger range of movements when eating.

The blue jay is the strangest, shaking its head while eating, as if it is thinking about some big plan when the unconscious movements.

Yuki glanced at the blue crow, and basically knew what this clever and arrogant little blue bird wanted to do. Previously, Yuuki gave the Blue Crow the task of managing the large needle bee colony, and asked the Blue Crow to exercise. After all, to be a boss, it is useless to talk about it, and it still depends on the actual practice. I believe that the blue crow has now thought of some plan to manage the colony of giant needle bees.

After the juvenile evolved into the Blue Jay, the Blue Jay also learned two new skills, Taunt and Air Slash. Now the Blue Jay's long-range attack method is also available.

Yuki also let the blue crow practice the skill of air chopping, and the blue crow has become more proficient in two days.

Yuki's way of cultivating Pokémon is full of its own characteristics, and it is not only required in terms of strength. There is also a certain culture to learn. Little Diamond and the Key Ring learned to read and write under Yugi's teachings.

Yuki has also been teaching grass turtles and blue crows to read and write recently, and in Yuki's knowledge, because of the blue crow, steel armored crow, dark crow, crow head and other crow Pokémon, because of the special structure of the mouthpiece, can learn human speech. Yuki has recently been planning to let the Blue Crow learn to speak human language.

But considering that Meow Meow in the anime seems to have exhausted his potential after learning human speech, and it is difficult to learn new skills to become stronger, Yumu is also a little hesitant, so Yumu specially asks a doctor who specializes in Pokémon linguistics. However, there has been no reply yet.

After lunch, Yuki took the Pokémon to a photo studio to wash up the photos of the Tokiwa Forest, and prepared to make a photo album to record the journey.

After getting the picture done, Yuki asked the Pokémon, "What do you want to do next?" ”

"Shattered?"

"Keykey!"

"Crow~"

Because of its size, the grass turtle can't stay with Yuuki in the city, so now only Little Diamond, Keycircle, and Blue Jay are talking about it.

In the end, after negotiation, Yuki and the Pokémon decided to go to the characteristic commercial street of Dark Gray City first, and then visit the famous museum of Dark Gray City, and take the Pokémon to see the grandeur of history and knowledge.

Inside the dark gray characteristic commercial street

Yuki looked up and saw that there were stones one after another, strange shapes and rich colors, and there were all kinds of strange stones.

Of the three Pokémon, only Keycircle, an overly lively guy, happily strolled around. When he saw a stone he liked, he told Yuki about it.

At this time, the keen stall owners will immediately seize the opportunity and start selling.

It's a pity that Yuuki, who has long been well-informed and thick-skinned, will not be deceived by the words of these uncles and aunts at all.

What Tanabata's wishing stone.

What a miracle of the heart of the illusory sea.

What a mermaid tears pearls.

If you look at these things a little, you will find that they are the industrial products of modern society. Just take the Pokémon and go, leaving not a second longer.

After shopping for a long time, the most outrageous thing appeared - the body fragments of Groudador.

Yumu held his forehead and pulled the key ring away from the uncle who was holding a red stone and said that it was about the myth of Fangyuan.

Yumu whispered to Keycircle, "Don't be deceived, there are only five thousand pieces of Gurado's body. In this way, based on the weight alone, a groudor is not even 10 million yuan, how can there be a cheap groudador, if there is at least ten. And this looks like a modern industrial product, and there are abrasion marks on it! ”

Yuki left speechlessly with the Pokémon, this is a shopping street! This is clearly a large-scale stone sales place, no wonder Xiao Gang's father Wu Neng sells stones like that in the animation, it turns out to be in the same vein!

But Yugi still bought a few stones that he valued under the pitiful eyes of Keycircle. Give a few Pokémon each. The key-shaped white stone of the key ring, the diamond-shaped pink stone of the small diamond, and the feather-shaped blue stone of the blue jay. There are also green stones in the shape of grass seedlings, turtles, turtles, and serpentine silver stones for the giant steel snake.

Originally, Yuki wanted to polish it in the grinding shop, but the boss said that the most beautiful appearance of these stones was their original strange shape, and if they were polished, they would lose their characteristics like those crafts, and Yuki thought about it and didn't polish it.

"Hey~" shopping is not good, Yuki sighed.

Yuki wanted to buy some special goods, but the stone or something was not in Yuki's target.

Yuki was a little disappointed and prepared to go back to the Pokémon Center, but on the way back, he 'happened' to pass by a small vendor.

"Young man, do you want to buy some dark gray market characteristics?"

A kind grandmother with a smile appeared in front of Yugi and was selling.

"Dark Grey City features?" Yuki's eyes lit up, pretending to be curious, "Grandma, do you have anything here?" ”

"Of course." The old lady was very confident, and took out a small box with her somewhat trembling hands.

When it opened, it was filled with cylindrical yellowish objects.

"Taste it, young man, it's the best thing to sell in the Dark Grey Market."

Yuki knew what it was the moment he saw it, "Dark gray rice crackers?" Yuki asked.

"Hmmm! Very knowledgeable! Lad. The old woman nodded, her expression very satisfied.

Yuki picks up a dark gray rice cracker and puts it in his mouth, the dark gray rice cracker is shaped like a soft hailstone, the texture is crunchy, and the main ingredient that can be eaten is glutinous rice. But there's nothing special about that.

But it's delicious, a kind of deliciousness that comes from the first happiness of people.

Yuki liked it very much, and when he looked at those Pokémon, they were all very happy to eat them.

Yuki is a person who buys what he likes and never buys what he doesn't like, "How much does the old woman have?" ”

"500,500 alliance coins." The old woman's kind face changed a little sly.

"Yes, this is money, I want all this box." Yuki smiled happily, his tone was natural, the money was put down, he picked up a box of rice crackers and left.

"Don't be too expensive, this dark gray rice cracker can be ......," the old woman said and suddenly reacted. What, it's all over. The money, oh, the money is right. Ah no, you're back, boy. ”

The old woman took the money in one hand and put it in her pocket, and at the same time rushed out directly to intercept Yuki.

"Eh, you young man, what a ......" The old woman wanted to speak and stopped, this child is very arrogant.

The old woman scratched her head and looked at Yuki's calm face, but still took out a note.

"This is the recipe and how dark gray rice crackers are made. It's a reward for you, the kid who was lucky enough to meet the Phoenix King. The old woman shook her head.

Yuki took the paper and thanked the old woman solemnly. 'The rewards of the alliance are coming so fast! Yuuki sighed inwardly.

"Young man, do you know the effects of dark gray rice crackers?" The old woman's face showed some doubt.

"Of course, dark gray rice crackers can cure most of the abnormal states on Pokémon, and when Pokémon drugs are not popular and tree fruits are not easy to preserve, traditional items such as dark gray rice crackers are basically used to treat abnormal states." Yuki, who has studied at the Daiki Research Institute for a long time, is still relatively knowledgeable.

"Well, it looks like you're a learned kid indeed. But young man, you still have to learn these traditional things, and although they are dying, they are still useful. The old woman said earnestly.

"I will." Yuki also said seriously. What is in the past will surely become the driving force for the future to move forward, this is a phrase that Yuuki knows and believes in.

After chatting for a long time with the old woman, the inheritor of dark gray rice crackers, Yuki left with a box of dark gray rice crackers and dark gray rice cracker recipes, and his heart was full of joy.

That's what a city should be! Delicacies! ’

And the old woman watched Yuki leave, and thought to herself: "Sure enough, it's the same as that guy from Damu, what an excellent young man." If you don't look at anything else, just look at his intimate connection with Pokémon, and the old man knows that this young man will definitely be an excellent trainer in the future. ’
