Chapter 50 He really... I cried my eyes out.
"Huh? Why are there still people here so late?"
The trainer of the white Metagross is a handsome young man with silver hair, none other than Steven Stone, the legendary trainer of the Hoenn region.
Instantly, Daigo's gaze fell on the single sword sheath beside Lin Ye, and then his eyes lit up.
"This is... a uniquely colored scabbard? Not bad, not bad!"
Daigo strode over, squatted down, and carefully examined the monocle sheath. His expression was just like that of a collector who had seen a rare card.
The sword sheath was startled by Daigo's actions, but fearing the unfathomable Metagross, it dared not act recklessly and could only wait for the other party to touch it thoroughly.
"Brother Lin, why is this person so strange? Does he have some ulterior motive towards me?"
"What are you afraid of? This isn't Chengdu. Besides, you're already a swordsman. What can they do to you?"
He just loves Steel-type Pokémon, and you have a rare Shiny one. If you can cheer him up, there might be a pleasant surprise!
"Yeah, this guy is really handsome! To be honest, he's the second most handsome guy I've ever seen, after Lin Ye!"
"Tch~ Master, look, the vixen has revealed her true nature. I, the little fox, think that Daigo is far less handsome than you."
"Alright, alright, what are you all focusing on? Didn't you see how wealthy this guy is? If we could do him a favor..."
"If we pull off a big heist for Daigo, we should all be reincarnated together!"
As Lin Ye listened to the nonsensical telepathic messages from a group of ghost Pokémon, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. Why were all his ghosts such oddballs?
After admiring the monocle, Daigo stood up and looked at Lin Ye: "Sorry, I lost my composure just now. I suppose you are the trainer of this heterochromatic monocle."
"My name is Daigo. What's your name, friends? And why are you still in the nature reserve so late?"
With his strength, wealth, and status, Goku far surpasses the vast majority of people in this world, yet he is surprisingly kind in his dealings with others.
"Oh, hello, my name is Lin Ye. I saw on the news that the Skarmory population in the reserve has been acting strangely, and it seems that Champion Daigo is also investigating the matter, so I thought I'd try my luck and see if I could run into you."
Daigo paused for a moment, then asked, "You wanted to run into me? So you're deliberately looking for me. Is there something you need?"
"Well, I've heard for a long time that you, Mr. Daigo, enjoy collecting all sorts of unusual stones, so there are some things I'd like you to take a look at."
After saying that, Lin Ye took out the remaining gems he had brought from the magical world and handed them to Daigo.
Daigo took the gem and examined it carefully; his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Where were these stones found?"
"There's hope!"
Lin Ye was secretly pleased, and then gave the excuse he had prepared. It was that he encountered a cave collapse during his cave training and accidentally fell into an ancient ruin, where he found the gem.
"I want all of these gems! Name your price!"
Before Daigo could finish speaking, a sharp cry suddenly rang out, and then the strongest leader of the Skarmory flock suddenly took off, about to escape.
"Lin Ye, sorry, please wait a moment~~"
Daigo didn't even raise his head, but simply said softly:
"Metamorphosis".
The strangely colored giant gold monster next to it didn't move at all, it merely raised one eye and glanced at the armored bird.
In an instant, an invisible spiritual force suddenly enveloped the entire area.
The armored bird, which was of "professional" quality and even had a slightly stronger energy aura than the Snow Fairy, was instantly frozen in place, unable to move, and then torn off in a straight line.
Lin Ye was all too familiar with this energy—it was mental power!
Although he doesn't directly use his mental energy to attack like a psychic Pokémon, he can still perform simple detections using his mental energy, which he has trained in magic.
Moreover, after he advanced to become a formal necromancer, his mental strength was close to that of a "professional" psychic Pokémon.
Even so, after glimpsing the Metagross's mental power just now, he was still startled and shuddered.
If one's mental strength is like a wooden stick, then the mental strength of Daigo's Shiny Metagross is like a long stick made of special steel, which is more than one order of magnitude different!
"Peng~~"
"Clatter~~"
With a tremor and a cloud of dust, the armored bird crashed to the ground, and a golden orb rolled off its body.
The pearl was entirely golden, with red and black stripes in the middle, and it gleamed with a mysterious light under the moonlight.
Metagross activated its psychic powers, and the gem automatically flew into Steven's hand.
After examining it for a moment, the latter's smile grew brighter and brighter: "Haha~, I was right, this is a Skarmory Mega Stone, no wonder it attracted them."
Daigo happily put away the Skarmory evolution stone, then turned to Lin Ye and said:
"Mr. Lin, could you wait a moment longer?"
Lin Ye didn't understand what he meant, but he nodded nonetheless!
Then, Steven took out a healing potion from his inventory and had Metagross use its psychic powers to distribute it evenly among the Skarmory scattered on the ground.
Finally, he walked up to the unfortunate leader, patted the man's massive steel head, and said:
"I'm sorry, this stone is very important to me, so I can't return it to you."
However, this evolution stone needs to be used in conjunction with a key stone to take effect; it's not very useful if you just hold it in your hand.
Here, consider this food as compensation; it will be far more useful to you than that stone.
Daigo took out a large bag of energy cubes and fed them to the creatures. The scabbards beside Lin Ye stood up straight after smelling the energy cubes.
"Looks like it's targeting the top-tier Steel-type Energy Cube! As expected of Daigo, he even gives such preferential treatment to the defeated."
Moreover, those "good healing potions" were all of very high quality and definitely not cheap.
With Daigo's strength, he could have easily gotten it for free. I'm so upset, I'm crying my eyes out!
After appeasing the group of armored birds, Daigo returned to Lin Ye's side and got straight to the point:
"What a double celebration today! Not only did I find the Mega Skarmory evolution stone, but I also ran into Mr. Lin Ye. I'll take all these stones. Name your price."
Lin Ye was overjoyed, but hesitated about what price to quote. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"I still want something that can enhance my strength."
Daigo nodded, his gaze falling on the single sword sheath. After a moment's thought, he took out a small box:
"This contains a mid-grade 'Metal Coat,' worth around ten million on the market. It can amplify the Steel-type power and affinity of Pokémon, making it very suitable for a well-rounded type like the Razor Cutter, which excels in both offense and defense."
That wasn't all; Daigo then pulled out three more gems with a metallic sheen:
"Also, here are three mid-grade 'Steel Gems'. You can take them back and use them on the sword sheath. Consider it an extra gift because I feel a connection with it."
I've encountered countless Steel-type Pokémon, and I can see it has good potential. You should train it well.
