章 79: Meeting up
I wasn't surprised that the list was much longer than it was for Iron town or that it was all digital either. Cities like Rustboro likely went through jobs in a constant flowing manner with the center getting new ones while the old ones are completed. This meant that if they took the time to print out the jobs the list will be rendered invalid in a short period of time wasting the paper. I didn't doubt that at least some of these jobs were getting completed even now while I was looking through them.-
Despite that the center was very professional and had a mark that said whether or not a job had been taken already or not that helped greatly. I found five jobs that looked promising for me that hadn't been taken yet. The first was to work as an assistant to a local pill maker for a day in exchange for five thousand poke` and whatever I learned during the day. The second was to catch a Seedot for someone that wanted one for ten thousand poke`. The third was to clear out a Rattata nest in a warehouse that recently got a new owner for three thousand poke`.-
The fourth was a very valuable job without a stated pay limit posted by none other than the president of the Devon corp , Joseph Stone. The job was to bring him any rare or interesting stones that anyone may have and if he wants them he will purchase them from you. I was immediately interested in this job because I happened to have a VERY rare stone in the form of a variant Anorith fossil that can even be revived. While I knew how valuable a fossil pokemon was I also had the type combination of Anorith covered on my team making it pointless for me to have.-
I had ironically planned on giving the fossil to Steven anyways since it would probably make a fine addition to his team if he chose to have it revived and would definitely get me into his good books. By giving it to his dad though I may not only be able to indirectly give the fossil pokemon to him but even get a fat paycheck for it as well. The final job was to spar with a local martial artist but the job specified that only weapon users or other martial artists could apply.-
I had already pretty much set my sight on the Devon corp job already but I figured I might take one or two of the others over the next few days to pass the time. "I would like to take this job for today ." I said while pointing at the Devon corp job to the clerk. The guy saw the job and looked surprised "Are you certain? Mr. Stone has an extensive stone collection so normal rare stones hold little interest to him?" the guy asked and I nodded.-
"Alright give me a moment to print out the job form so that you can show it to the Corporations clerk." The guy said and typed out something and a few clicks later the printer behind him whirred to life as it spat out a sheet of paper with the details of the job on it. "I take the paper and stand up "Thank you for the help." I say politely before leaving. I left the center and made my way back to the training area to see how my pokemon were doing in their training as well as to collect them.-
While Mr. stone may not be interested in Vulcan I had a feeling that the same could not be said of Gaia. As an avid rock collector I doubted that the man wouldn't be interested in a unique rock and ground type shiny like Gaia. Unlike basic shinies that have color swaps that all look the same stage two shinies like Gaia are each unique as their patterns and coloration is never the same as another's. Gaia was steel grey and had purple stripes that almost made her seem dark or brooding looking when she was pretty chill in truth.-
Anyways when I got to the training area I was surprised to find a familiar face there with their own starter pokemon. May was off to the side of the area training her Treecko while my pokemon ignored her to focus on their own training. Gaia was still having difficulties with projecting her steel type energy while Vulcan had finally figured out how to use the move solar beam and was working on mastering it. "Oh hey Alex!" May called out with a smile when she saw me enter the building. "When did you get to Rustboro your dad never said anything about it a couple days ago?" I asked surprised to see her.-
"Just last night actually , it doesn't take me as long as you to get places since I have a bike and stick to the normal routes after all." She joked and I scoffed "Why would I ever do something as boring as that plus it seems like it is working for me considering my team roster." I said while motioning to Tank on my shoulder. "Yeah my dad talks about it every time I call to give him an update on the pokedex , speaking of he wanted me to scan your pokemon if I ran into you if that's alright?" She asked and I nodded while releasing Rune.-
May wasted no time at all taking out the small red device and scanning each of my pokemon. "I'm sure he'll squeal like an excited child when you send him that data." I joked and she laughed "without a doubt!" she said with a smile. "Still I can't believe you managed to get a triple variant Charmander , all the ones I saw were normal and more than a little arrogant." she added while looking at rune enviously.-
"Yeah I really lucked out on getting him though it's a little unfortunate that he isn't suited for the gym. Tank here is also useless in battle until he evolves into a Butterfree as well." I said honestly. "Maybe but what have you been up to besides having ruinous misunderstandings with two of the largest clans in the world?" May asked teasingly. I shrug "I got a new spear and am about to go meet the president of the Devon corporation." I said casually while showing off the spear on my back. "Why would you be going to meet the president of the Devon corporation for?" May asked confused.-
"He put up a job at the center looking for rare stones that he may be interested in and I happen to have one that fits the bill nicely." I explained simply. "If it's just a regular evolution stone you might as well just hang it up since the man and his son both have very large collections of rare stones including evolution stones." May said sternly and I chuckled "I very much doubt he has a stone like the one I have , it's possible of course but very unlikely." I said confidently.
