Well.
"Lusamine, this is forcing the Alliance to make some concessions..."
Natsuhiko's pupils subtly contracted.
Then, a slightly helpless smile appeared on his face.
"Thinking you know a few things and getting too presumptuous. To be able to lead such an organization, how could a woman like her be easy to deal with."
Natsuhiko had to reassess this matter again.
Lusamine agreed to support the Hunter Guild branch he established.
Perhaps.
She also wants to use the Hunter Guild's channels to send out more Pokémon from the Alola Region.
In this way, some things can't be suppressed even if the Alliance wants to.
Giving up some minor benefits to obtain greater gains, or even forcing the Alliance's policy to make certain concessions.
This is the main reason Lusamine is willing to support Natsuhiko.
It avoids direct conflict with the Alliance, ensures that her Ethereum Foundation maintains the friendly title of "Caring for Pokémon," and takes the initiative in some negotiations with the Alliance.
However.
Even though Natsuhiko knew about Lusamine's intentions, he would continue doing it anyway.
Being used as a pawn has its risks, but also great benefits.
At least he has the upper hand now.
To take a step back.
He's undercover!
Even if the Alliance wants to vent its anger, it would be directed at the Hunter Guild. What does it have to do with him, undercover?
Even if Lusamine is very shrewd, she couldn't have guessed that Natsuhiko was placed in the Hunter Guild by the Alliance as an undercover agent.
So.
This wave may be Lusamine on the fifth level, but Natsuhiko is in the atmosphere.
He still came out ahead.
Even if he doesn't know how he won.
Quite confused.
After understanding this matter, Natsuhiko's expression returned to calm.
But in his mind, he classified Lusamine alongside Giovanni, at a level that should not be underestimated.
Although her capabilities may not be as strong as Giovanni's, her meticulous thinking isn't far off.
The sight returned to the auction.
That Alola Muk was auctioned off for a high price.
Far beyond the price corresponding to the strength, ability, and effects of this Pokémon.
"Since everyone is so interested in Pokémon from the Alola Region, our auction house has coincidentally obtained quite a few Pokémon from there recently, which we believe will satisfy everyone."
The Alola Muk was just the appetizer; the real highlight is yet to come.
As the elder clapped his hands.
A trolley was pushed up again.
And Natsuhiko finally saw the Pokémon he came to auction.
Vikavolt!
"This Pokémon, although not in the Alola Region form, is still from the Alola Region, rarely seen outside, and even in the Alola Region, it's extremely rare due to its demanding evolution conditions.
Let me briefly introduce it to everyone.
Vikavolt, an Insect-type and Electric-type Pokémon, this Vikavolt is at Gym Leader Level! Its trait is..."
With the elder's introduction, many people's eyes in the audience lit up instantly.
Insect-type and Electric-type with the "Floating" trait, few weaknesses, many resistances, very different from the typical template of Insect-type Pokémon in most people's impressions.
The most important thing is Vikavolt's extremely strong Special Attack ability!
A true mobile cannon platform!
Coupled with Gym Leader Level strength.
This is undoubtedly more attractive than the previous Alola Muk.
After all, no matter how strong Muk is, its odor and appearance inevitably cause a mental discount to it.
But Vikavolt is different.
Electric-type Pokémon are what many people like and need.
"Gym Leader Level Vikavolt, starting bid, five million! Each raise must not be less than one hundred thousand!"
Five million Alliance currency!
Sitting in the private room, Natsuhiko gasped when he heard this price.
Normally, Gym Leader Level Pokémon start bidding at around one million; five million is close to the transaction price of some Pokémon about to enter the Elite Candidate Level.
Wow, the starting bid is directly five million.
Natsuhiko originally thought a starting bid of two to three million would be great.
Turns out.
He underestimated it.
The auction house initially couldn't determine Vikavolt's price.
So they first auctioned the Alola Muk.
To test the waters.
The result was surprisingly good.
Thus, they became bold, leading to this shocking starting price.
But sure enough.
Really someone dared to sell, and someone dared to buy.
The price surged amidst the rising and falling voices.
Meanwhile, the elder kept pushing the auction's enthusiasm.
With catchphrases like "Alola Region Pokémon," "super strong Special Attack ability," "Gym Leader Level ready to use," further exaggerating the price.
Sitting in the private room, Natsuhiko clicked his tongue.
He slowly touched his chin and said, "If it's according to this pace, then the estimated harvest value I had before might be a bit too low."
He expected Alola Region's Pokémon to be popular.
But he really didn't anticipate them being this popular.
And this is just a Gym Leader Level Vikavolt.
What if it's an Elite Candidate Level Ice Sandslash, what then?
Moreover, he only has one Ice Sandslash, but he has plenty of Vikavolts and Charjabugs.
Even if multiple appearances would lower the price, it's probably not by much.
This is considered him benefiting from the opening of the Alola Region and people's pursuit of new Pokémon.
