We pulled the buggy out of the Yard and went out of the city through the residential area where there was a lot of clamours.
After a brief investigation, we found out that there was a fire in the apartment and that almost everyone had been saved except the guy who was found dead.
We drove out of the city riding full speed towards the Star city that was to the north of here. The road was somewhat built but in need of repair.
There were no forests on this route so it was relatively safe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It took us three weeks to reach the magnificent Star city one of the major cities that had its duke.
The city was large even from where we were standing. the city had tall stone walls that curved around the city the stone was black with stone outposts on it after regular intervals. Even from here, I could see people patrolling around the wall.
I looked at Justin who was staring at the city.
I was impressed as well at the sheer monstrosity of the city.
I walked back to the buggy and jumped in with Justin right behind me.
The buggy turned on and dashed forward with a thunderbolt. We reached the city entrance in about five minutes.
There at the entrance were a pair of guards who stopped us.
The guy to my left who was a stocky fat man tapped the windshield with his baton
" Id? " He asked his tone gruff
I pulled out the Id and so did Justin and we handed them over.
He looked them over frowning but I pulled down my mask for him to see and after a while, he stopped and handed them back
" Take care kiddos it is a big city," He said his tone a bit gently.
After that, we parked the buggy outside a Hotel and went inside after Justin returned his Rotom. in the past week we had switched between both Rooms to provide then rest and repercussions.
I went to the registration where there was a blond woman of about eighteen.
I flashed my Id and pulled down the black mask to reveal my face for inspection
She nodded and handed us two pairs of keys
We made our way up to the second floor. Before Justin could enter his room I stopped him
" So this is it after this we will part ways from here. You can go to the academy with me or you can take the buggy and go on with your journey " I said looking at him
He looked at me and then nodded his eyes sparkling
" I will go to the Academy," He said his tone a bit nervous about
I pulled out his letter and handed it over
" And I wanted to ask if you are interested in trading that Beldum of yours for my Toxel, " I asked lightly " this is not a compulsion but a question "
He looked surprised his eyes widening then he clasped my hand
" I was looking forward to getting rid of him and a Toxel would be nice," He said excited and in relief
I looked at him in surprise he had proven me wrong he was a dumb kid.
I mentally shook my head at the sheer foolishness of this. While Beldum is weak in its current stage but he will become a powerhouse.
We went to the Pokemon centre after that to officiate the trade. After that, we parted ways and he went back while I stayed feeding my Pokemon at a Pokemon centre where it was free and had good quality food. while it was free it could only be accessible thrice a week.
After that, I went to the reception area where Nurse joy sat with her twin-tailed pigtail.
" Hello Nurse joy " I greeted
" Hello there " She replied cheerfully with a smile
" I wanted to ask if there are any good Daycares around," I asked
" Well there is one in the inner circle of the city but you need to pay extensively if you breed through them," She said already knowing my question
I nodded and went back outside. There was a black market here in the slums and through there I could get relative information about a daycare.
After midnight I pulled on my Zoroark mask and a cloak then entered the slums.
The slums were gloomy and dark like Riverside where people laid askew in rags and begged anyone. I placed my hand on the gun I had stolen from Rax.
I looked around suspiciously at the market. The market had a trail of lights as if someone had decorated the area. The black market was a well-known secret that many knew and even the Police knew about it but they did nothing as it provided too much money to the city and many noble houses had business here.
I looked at the burly man that guarded the gate and pulled out a Note handing it over to him.
He grinned and opened the metal gate looking left and right there was no one in the street except the door. I entered the market it was a huge place with stalls all around it was an open ground.
I slowly made my way around the stalls. there was everything here from Power gems to X defends and stuff anything related to Pokemon was available even a Stall sold Slowpoke tails like fishermen sold fish.
I went to a stall that sold Rare Pokemon and stuff.
The bad man had a yellow piece of cloth around his neck and he only wore an undershirt and shorts.
He handed me the menu looking down the menu I saw many Pokemon names that he sold they were not that rare of Pokemons. pokemon like Onix, Starly, Pocheyana, Charjabug, Loudred and Shroomish etc, Flipping the menu I found some rare Pokemon there were names like Pawniard,
Noibat, Sandile, Syther, Munchlax, Elekid and lastly a Zorua
I raised my eyebrows now that was what I wanted to know
I returned the Pamphlet
" Whatcha want brat, " The man asked irritably
" How much for Zorua, " I asked
" About Four million for a male cub," He said looking away at another man who was selling his wares
"I have some Pokemon that I have for breeding and I was planning if you could use them as breeding partners and lower the price a bit," I said neutrally
" What Pokemon? " He said
I shook my head in denial
" If I could know the Pokemon then I will tell the reduction "
" A Lucario " I lied
" Hmm a rare Pokemon I have a friend in the red district his name is Javed I will ask him " He replied emotionlessly but his eyes twinkled
I nodded and went back out of the market from there it took me an hour to shake off any pursuers.
After that, I rested for the day before training my pokemons. Gerninja and Pangoro both trained under the effects of gravity While Golett trained his telekinesis. I too trained with them and tried to wrestle with Pangoro who could fling me away with a flick but he was there patiently.
Zoroark was in a corner looking at us and snarling every once in a while she had learned that she could not escape so now she did nothing but eat and look at us while preserving to stay in the pokeball.
I had talked with Beldum who had been told by Justin that he was about to be traded so he had no problem being with us. I used Beldum to train Pangoro in dodging skills with him using tackle with his fast speed that whizzed like a bullet.
The next day I went to the Red district.
It was a very crowded street with red lights hovering in the air casting a red glow on everything the street was wide and long with a crowd full of people walking up and down. I had donned my mask and at my side was Pangoro who was like a deterrent to anyone trying to pickpocket. Pangoro huffed at a thin girl wearing revealing clothes who tried to come near me to seduce me. The red district was as it sounded a place for a frustrated man to release his frustration. While in our world or anime worlds they were only restricted to humans here it was not restricted to humans but also Pokemon. there were all pokemons which sold as Prostitutes. This was like a furry's wet dream Pokemons from Lopunny and Gardevoir to Alcreamie and Machamp. In this place, no Pokemon was spared even pokemons like Lycanroc that were Dogs were used.
I had a disgusted expression under my mask. I was never a fan of Furry in my life. but this was important work. The man had given away an important detail in his excitement the name Javed will help me trace him down.
I looked at a large shop that was made in Japanese style with a pair of Gardevoirs in front dancing.
I entered the shop and went to the counter
" What would you like for today, Sir we have a Blaizeken that had just been free from the last customer" The woman in her mid-twenties with heavy makeup and a kimono sat there
"I want to talk to the owner," I said
" He is a bit busy " She replied
" I am here for other work " I pointedly replied
She stood up and guided me to the next floor
As I entered there was heavy smoke in the room with an overwhelming incense smell
In the centre sat a very fat man in a black suit at his side was a Woman that fed him soup.
" Ah a customer I had just been informed about you I am afraid to say that I was not informed beforehand but..." As the incense cleared I saw the man's face it was a fat face with a double chin and a fat nose he had the left side of his face scarred and his left eye was milky white. while his remaining eye was dark brown.
" ....my name's Javed pleasure to meet you," he said extending his jewelled right hand
