Auction

Chapter 340 Auction

Relying on the super-invincible Clay Giant Jet, Xia Mu and the others quickly arrived at Ziqin Town.

Because the giant tusk couldn't fit into his backpack, Xia Mu had no choice but to have the hardworking clay giant carry the tusk with him into the town.

"Giant ivory, giant ivory from an ancient Pokémon, on sale at a low price!!"

"Meow meow!"

The clay giant carrying a huge ivory tusk, along with Xia Mu and the magical masked cat hawking their wares in front of it, became the biggest sight in Ziqin Town today.

Whether it's the clay giant that's over five meters tall or the slightly curved tusk that still looks about the same size as the clay giant, both are particularly eye-catching at this moment.

"What huge ivory tusks!"

"What kind of Pokémon's teeth are these?!"

"Ancient Pokémon, could they be fossils?"

"Hey buddy, how much are you planning to sell it for?!"

The enormous ivory attracted the interest of countless passersby, who began to surround Xia Mu and the clay giant with questions. In a short time, the town's streets were blocked by Xia Mu and these guests.

Xia Mu was very satisfied with what he saw.

The more customers there are, the higher the auction price will be; the higher the auction price, the more money you will earn.

But seeing this scene, Officer Jenny of Ziqin Town was very dissatisfied.

"You are not allowed to set up stalls here!"

Miss Officer Jenny's loud shout instantly calmed the lively atmosphere.

"Please rent a stall at the Ziqin Market to sell your items! Participating in the auction is also an option!"

Under Officer Jenny's sharp gaze, the previously congested street quickly became spacious again.

"Hey buddy, I'm waiting for you at the market!"

"Yeah, you'd better hurry up and come!"

Amidst the reluctant sounds of parting with the banknotes, Xia Mu nodded earnestly.

"Wait for me, I'll come pick you up!"

"Don't rush!"

Officer Jenny blocked Natsuki from leaving.

"Releasing a giant Pokémon in the city in violation of public order laws, selling goods on streets where street vending is prohibited in violation of business regulations, and also—"

Miss Officer Jenny looked at the enormous tusk that the clay giant was carrying.

"Anyway, come with me to the police station first!"

"Meow~"

Upon hearing this, the cat's ears perked up, and it immediately and skillfully extended its hands toward Officer Jenny.

Upon seeing this scene, Officer Jenny's expression immediately turned dangerous as she looked at Natsuki. Natsuki even noticed that the Mastiff Godfather, who had been sitting on Officer Jenny's tricycle, had appeared behind him at some point.

Xia Mu could tell from the slightly exposed, sharp canine teeth of the Mastiff Godfather that the other party was wary. If he made the slightest move, this seemingly experienced Mastiff Godfather might attack him without hesitation.

Clearly, due to the cat's habitual behavior, Xia Mu had become a seasoned veteran in the eyes of Officer Jenny and the Mastiff Godfather. In order to avoid going from a simple apology and fine to being interrogated in jail, Xia Mu immediately looked at Officer Jenny with a serious expression.

"Sister, we're family!"

"Meow meow!"

The cat nodded repeatedly.

We're in this together, meow!

"I'm really close to Officer Jenny from Raven City!"

"Meow (even though we're always fighting!)"

"I also get along well with the other Officer Jennys in the Unova region!"

"Meow! (They pay close attention to us in every city we visit!)"

"Anyway, I'm a law-abiding citizen!"

"Meowha (Even though I often ride in police cars and get beaten up by Officer Jenny, my trainer is really a good person!)"

Xia Mu couldn't help but glance at the Magical Masked Cat beside her, who had been constantly undermining her. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but Xia Mu had a feeling that the cat was doing it on purpose. However, seeing the cat's earnest expression as it looked at Officer Jenny, Xia Mu wondered if she was just overthinking it.

After all, in Xia Mu's memory, he shouldn't have bothered the cat these past two days, and although the cat's words had some subtle meanings, they were basically the truth.

[It's probably because this guy is uneducated—no, wait!]

At that moment, Xia Mu noticed the cat's slightly swaying little tail.

"You bastard—your tail has already given you away!"

"Meow?!"

The Magic Masked Cat turned around in shock to look at the tail wagging happily behind her.

"Meow (You betrayed me? Traitor!)"

After cursing its own tail, the cat immediately turned around and caught Xia Mu's hands.

Snapped!

Snapped!

"I need a reason!"

"Meow (Who told you to rub all the oil from your hands on my fur while you were eating today! My fur is full of sand now!)"

"I didn't! You accidentally put it there yourself. I just asked the Salt Stone Giant to add extra salt to your soup!"

"Meow (I knew the soup was so bitter today, I thought there was something wrong with my tongue, you bastard Natsuki, you're going to die, meow!)"

Crackling sounds!

Crackling sounds!

To Officer Jenny's bewildered gaze, the trainer and Pokémon, who had just been working in perfect harmony, inexplicably started fighting.

"No, can you please show me some respect?"

Officer Jenny has never encountered such a bizarre case in all her years of law enforcement.

If you're talking about respecting me, they're fighting right in front of me; if you're talking about disrespecting me, they're fighting without affecting me, who's right next to them, and they even occasionally give me an apologetic smile.

"Speaking of which, instead of giving me an apologetic look, what you're doing right now is practically fighting each other! That will increase your fines."

'

Swish!

Upon hearing this, Mibrim, located on Natsuki's head, widened its eyes, and a purple light wall immediately appeared between Natsuki and the cat.

[Stop fighting! This is money!]

"Then forget it!"

"Meow!"

Under Officer Jenny's speechless gaze, Natsuki and Neko, who had just been fighting fiercely, immediately stopped.

"Meow (You'll have to help me take a nice bath later!)"

"Okay, my cat is so cute, it definitely needs to smell delicious!"

"Meowha (Natsuki is the best!)"

Seeing the magical masked cat, which had just been meowing angrily, now clinging to Xia Mu and rubbing against him frantically, Officer Jenny's eyes became even more bewildered.

After all, right in front of her, these two fought and made up at lightning speed. If they weren't covered in dust, Officer Jenny would have thought she was just hallucinating.

Under normal circumstances, after seeing the cat's enthusiasm and clinginess towards Natsuki, Officer Jenny would swear on her heart that the two of them must have a very good relationship.

but----

Thinking back to the scene where those two guys started fighting without even saying a word, Officer Jenny was now a little uncertain.

"Fine, you're coming to the police station with me anyway!"

Why?

Seeing Natsuki looking at her with a puzzled expression, Officer Jenny also showed a puzzled expression.

"What?! What?! It's punishment for selling ivory in the street and releasing a giant Pokémon!"

Xia Mu's expression became even more bewildered.

"There are no giant Pokémon or ivory here, Officer Jenny, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?!"

Officer Jenny looked back and saw that not only the clay giant and the giant tusk, but even the people who had seemed to be with Natsuki had disappeared.

When I turned around again, Xia Mu and the cat had disappeared.

Officer Jenny paused for a moment, and after exchanging a glance with her own mastiff godfather, she finally realized something.

"I've been tricked?!"
