After few more hours cruising on the sea, we then arrive at the port of Vermillion city. We then meet up with Sierra team that stationed on the port for welcoming us. There are two of them and looked like at 12 to 14 years old. Sierra itself is 18 years old.
"Don't get surprise Ryou, we legally can became a trainer at 12 y.o. These girls is an unfortunaate one. So the League are throwing them out."
I've alredy told her my other name, Ryou. Because i know that codename is something out of the world.
"So bottom of the hierarkhi huh? So in between of the Homeless, Orphan and Poor people huh?"
The girls are flinched hearing what i said. With reassuring smile we then move toward the car that park on the port. After we are inside the car. Sierra then answer my question.
"Yeah. Those League people really despicable. We need to pay 10.000 Pokedollar to take an exam for became trainer. Whilst there only about 25% that became trainer under the League. If not sponsored by at least a Trainee Professor."
"That high huh?"
"Yeah. The one that failed the test some became Rogue, Hunter or join the underworld organisation. Let's move."
"Ah before that, can you bring me to Vermillion Black Market? I need more variation of Pokemon."
"Got it."
The one answer is the driver of the car. We then talk about the entirety of Sierra Teammate. Beside the two on front. There are still about three more already stand by on the site that given to me.
"Want me to tell you their name?"
"Later, It's a hasle introducing myself twice."
"As your wish boss."
About 30 minutes later we then arrive at the front of cafe. After park the car we then go inside.
"You two, order any food do you like. Sierra will guide me. Don't forget to order the take out for the one that wait"
After giving me a nod. They look at the menu with a sparkling eyes. But after seeing the price made me a bit dumbfounded. It on range about 400 to 600 Poke. It's a cheap price. Maybe these girls will be fainted if the heard the total money that i paid on my shopping spree.
"What about me?"
"You can order a take out. Oh yeah order a Fried Pidgey and Chocolate Smoothie for me. Let's go Sierra"
"Wait a bit. Deluxe Parfait and Hot Milktank milk for me."
Sierra then guide me into a back door. When we arrive at the place there are an Alakazam waiting with an elderly snooring beside it. Seeing that Sierra gave a helpless sigh. She then looking at Alakazam and said.
"He is a partner. Lead us inside."
Alakazam then nod and suddenly i got attacked by a headache. It was same feeling with a motion sickness. Seeing my condition Sierra is holding herself not to laugh.
"So what do you feel?"
"A mild headache. Let's start to look at pokemon stall."
On the journey toward the Pokemon stall, Sierra then telling me about in and out of the Black Market. The rule is first come first serve, no haggling and don't try to steal from any of the stall. After about 15 minutes we then arrive at the place.
The first thing that i saw when going inside malnourished Pokemon chained inside a cage. There about 10 of them displaying outside. From what i remember they are on top of the best fighting type across region.
"What a pitifull creature"
"It looked like this one need to be disciplinned"
"What do you mean by that Sierra?"
"This stall broke the rule about selling a Pokemon on Black Market. Specially those on the Rocket Territory. Wait a bit"
Sierra then take the photo of the Pokemon that displayed and calling someone outside the tent. Whilst she is outside, few people are coming out from inside. One of then are dragging a Lopunny with a wretched smile. After some pleasantries, they separate themself. The one that stay then looking at me with a big grin on his face.
"Ah welcome do you need anything?"
"Mind if i'm looking at your wares?"
"Of course not. Let's chat inside"
"Okay"
After leaving message to Sierra, of course i've already get her contact. I then following the man in front of me. He then explain in and out all if his merchandise. In the inside room, i saw an exotic one.
"Hee a different variant of the Region huh?"
"Yeah. It was hard for us to catch it. We even lost men. How is it do you had any interest on it. We even had the cub and it eggs."
The one in the Cage in front of me is one of the most beautifull Pokemon on entire verse. A Cyan colored fur, a fox that had seven tails. It looked like it lost two of it's tail. A really pitifull one. An Alolan Ninetails, looking at me with a hopefull look.
