The Whereabouts of Sidora, Searching for Katsuyuki

Chapter 96 The Whereabouts of Sidora, Searching for Katsuyuki

After getting rid of Sonia, Xia Mu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

I've been busy feeding the Pokémon and communicating with them.

Xia Mu is now at ease leaving the job to Mei Xing and Mu Zi, because the Pokémon have a very high opinion of them, at least in terms of raising and caring for them.

"Xia Mu, according to what you said before, there is a Heatran in the underground of that volcano. With your abilities, now that you've encountered it, you should be able to subdue it, right?" Without Sonia by her side, Mulan stood with Xia Mu and asked.

It's a legendary Pokémon; there's no reason for Natsuki to miss it.

Moreover, according to Xia Mu, he subdued the Firebird because he saved it, and that's why he gained its approval.

It doesn't make sense that Xia Mu saved Xiduolanen, but there was no follow-up.

As for hiding it, Mulan thought it was unlikely, because if she were to hide it, she would hide the firebird instead.

"I did want to catch it, but Heatran went deep into the lava. Although Arcanine and Charizard can survive briefly under the lava, they couldn't track Heatran down," Xia Mu replied without hesitation.

Lying doesn't cause a racing heart, blushing, or any other unusual movements.

Over the past few days, Xia Mu has been deliberately training herself mentally.

The reason is that I'm afraid my thoughts will be easily seen through by others again.

Mulan's insight was particularly remarkable; she discerned his thoughts in just a few words.

Fortunately, this time Mulan didn't have too many doubts, nor did she intend to investigate further.

"That's such a pity. If you had caught them, you would have been a legendary trainer with two legendary Pokémon. This is extremely rare in history, and even regional champions may not have been able to do it," Mulan said with emotion.

Hearing this, Xia Mu chuckled twice, not taking it seriously: "Actually, I don't think there's anything worth pursuing. I'd be content with just being able to subdue the Firebird. Forcing myself to subdue Heatran might not be a good thing."

"Is that really what you think?" Mulan was surprised by Xia Mu's answer.

"Of course, there's no point in hiding this kind of thing," Xia Mu nodded.

This made Mulan look at Xia Mu with even greater respect, realizing she hadn't misjudged him.

Everyone in the world strives to capture legendary Pokémon, but only one in ten thousand can actually do it.

Xia Mu had enough strength and the opportunity, but it seems he gave it up voluntarily.

Mulan had no idea that it was Mewtwo, not Natsuki, who went deep underground last night to stop Hunter J's group.

Otherwise, if the opportunity really came, Xia Mu might not necessarily let it go?

Steelix's combat abilities are outstanding. If properly trained, it will definitely be able to go toe-to-toe with legendary monsters of the same level in the future!

At the very least, its potential surpasses that of Moltres.

The reason why Xia Mu answered Mulan in this way was because Heatran was indeed hiding deep in the magma. At that time, Mewtwo was busy dealing with Hunter J and his group, so it didn't have a chance to control Heatran.

Later, under Natsume's command, Mewtwo conducted a large-scale scan and discovered that Heatran had left the Island of Gathering along the underground magma and could not be found anywhere. In the end, they could only miss it and let the matter drop.

After chatting with Dr. Mulan for a few more minutes, Xia Mu did not linger in the backyard any longer. Instead, he returned to his room alone and made a simple list of his business plans.

Time flew by, and before we knew it, it was already afternoon.

Within a few hours, Xia Mu had a clear plan for the future.

Speaking of which, I discussed the Energy Cube Factory with my parents last night.

His parents were very supportive and agreeable to his desire to establish his own company.

Simply put, if he wants, they can directly allocate a piece of land to him, or they can provide him with an existing factory area.

As for the introduction of technology and the purchase of equipment, his parents can also help him with the operation.

It's a perfect example: he provides the ideas, and they take care of the management for him, allowing him to relax and be a hands-off manager.

Although it was a good offer, Xia Mu still refused.

If his parents get involved, then it will become part of the Xia family group's assets, not his private property.

Even if his parents help him and make the factory his private property, as long as the profits reach a terrifying number, it will inevitably attract envy, and in the end, his private property will inevitably become public property.

What Xia Mu needs now is to build his own team and then earn money that he can completely control.

Only in this way can we plan more step by step.

Rotom's multi-functional approach was, frankly, a bomb he deliberately dropped to draw everyone's attention to this area and get a piece of the pie.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he started other small businesses, accumulating experience until his business became large and stable enough, at which point he would have enough say and would not need to be coerced.

Ultimately, it all comes down to money. With his current assets, he certainly has enough to build a medium-sized energy block factory.

However, once you invest in it, the returns will take time.

Investing 20 million Alliance Coins and expecting to earn it back would definitely take at least six months to a year.

"We still need to find another middleman to make a profit, and training other Pokémon will also require a lot of money," Xia Mu muttered to himself.

He doesn't want to ask his parents for money, and even if they were willing to give it to him, he wouldn't want to take it.

Natsuki took out her phone and contacted Katsusuke from the Friendship Store again.

Fortunately, a lot has happened in the last few days, which has given him an excuse to shirk responsibility.

Unlike the previous two times when they sold evolution stones and comet fragments, they couldn't explain the source and could only deceive people.

This time, Natsuki plans to have a good talk with Katsusuke about the buyback price of evolution stones and the recycling price of comet fragments.

The first time I sold evolution stones, the buyback price was 15000 League Coins. Although I thought it was cheap, the price difference was several times, so I sold a bunch without knowing anything and made a profit. Then I took the opportunity to sell a lot of Comet Fragments.

Xia Mu understood the principle that scarcity increases value, which is why he made his decision.

Whether it's a form of capital monopoly or something else.

In short, let's show a sufficient number of evolution stones this time and see how much the recycling price of evolution stones can be increased.

The League stipulates that individuals are not allowed to sell them, but it also supports his application to become a merchant and obtain the qualification to sell evolution stones, which is just a matter of paying taxes.

This was also the thought that came to Xia Mu's mind after he sold the evolution stones.

The recycling fee is 15000 Alliance Coins, while the resale fee is 200,000 to 300,000 Alliance Coins.

This money is incredibly easy to earn.

Nobody's a fool, but these are the rules of the alliance, and it's also the result of manipulation by capital behind the scenes.

Evolution stones are rare to ordinary people, much like diamonds in Xia Mu's world. They are generally inaccessible to most people. However, as times have changed, everyone knows that diamonds are not truly valuable, but they are indeed very expensive.
