บท 33: Chapter 33 The Black Market (rewrite)

"Careful what? What does 'Zizi' mean?"
Last message from Drowzee, leaving Natsu in the dark.
With a heavy heart, he left this abandoned building.
It's clearly Drowzee who loves to learn, but became like this due to some experimentation.
It was thought that at first, Drowzee could wait for death in peace because Drowzee got a little comfort from the book, and Drowzee also smelled relief.
"Sadly"
"Woo"
Weedle also seemed to be in a low mood.
But Natsu quickly picks up his mood and takes Weedle to find Sanfu again.
Sanfu is still in awe of Natsu, and never thought that this person was the Natsu he had known before.
"In the future, you will help me gather information about Saffron City, large and small. No matter what method you use, I will pay you. This is a deposit." After speaking, Natsu took out two hundred Alliance Coins.
"Deposit!" Sanfu's eyes widened.
There were only 200 Alliance coins to deposit, which was definitely not a small reward for him. With good use, he could even win over a group of desperate people who were working hard to survive in the slums.
It should be noted that Natsu only got thirty-three coins from Scarface, a great leader in the slums.
Saffron City's lower tier residents, and normal residents, had a completely different standard of living.
A small amount of money in the eyes of others is a large amount of money in their eyes.
"Okay!" Sanfu repeatedly responded and took the money.
"This is just a deposit, I will pay you according to the value of your information. Every week in the future, I will wait for you at the entrance of the East District, I hope you can provide me with valuable information, if you can't, I will change someone else."
Patting his shoulder, Natsu turned to leave.
Through this incident, he understood the importance of information. If he could get the appropriate information, he could save a lot of time.
If it wasn't for Asef and Rattata's weirdness from Sanfu's mouth, he was worried that it would take a lot of time to find Drowzee.
For him now, time was very important, and every minute and second could not be wasted.
In Saffron City, he needed a simple intelligence network.
Someone like Sanfu who lives in the lower part of Saffron City, with an unobtrusive existence, is a good candidate.
They might not know much, but there was a lot of information, from every corner of Saffron City, and as long as one of them was useful to Natsu, it was good.
And he wasn't worried about Sanfu running away with the money.
If he can leave, he will leave early, and he doesn't think that the long-term money-making channel in front of him will be in vain.
This is an optional setting.
It's better if it works, but if it doesn't work, it's just a loss of 200 Alliance coins.
"Wait a moment." Sanfu stops him.
"Hah?"
"Although I don't know if it's useful, but I heard from other people, the east side of Saffron City seems to have seen some strangely dressed people and strange behavior last night."
Natsu's heart skipped a beat.
The east side of Saffron City?
Nod nonchalantly.
"I see. If I believe this information is useful, I will pay you later."
After he finished speaking, he left.
Get Weedle back to the club quickly.
Find Rotto.
He wanted to turn in the quest as soon as possible, get paid, and then head off to restock Weedle's Pokéblock and various Pokémon resources.
It didn't matter if he didn't manage to get a second Pokemon, he could still focus on training Weedle.
Director's Office.
Knock on the door to enter.
The office is kept luxurious and spotlessly clean with well-dressed executives.
"Mission, completed so quickly?"
Rotto raised his eyebrows when he saw the report submitted by Natsu and the evidence taken.
"Fortunately, it happened," said Natsu.
"Oh?"
Rotto glanced at Natsu, who stood respectfully, with a meaningful smile, "Yes, this is your present."
The pure yellow feather slightly dipped into the ink, leaving a name on the report.
Anyone still using feather? The thought crossed Natsu's mind.
It really is full of character.
A bank card slides across the table.
"This is an anonymous Alliance bank card, which contains your reward for this mission. After you complete the mission, the reward will be credited to this card, as well as your salary. On this card, you can use it with confidence." Rotto explained with a smile.
Natsu bent down and took the card.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Director Rotto, I wonder if there's a place in Saffron City where you can buy more 'professional' Pokémon books."
Natsu emphasized the word "professional", and he believed that Director Rotto understood.
Sure enough, hearing his question, Rotto showed an understanding expression, played with the feather in his hand, and said after thinking for a while: "You can go to 115 Kelsa Street to have a look."
"Thank you."
After thanking him, Natsu turned to leave.
Take a taxi and head straight for 115 Kelsa Street as Rotto said.
Kelsa Street is located on the edge of Saffron Town, a relatively less affluent area, where some modest shops are rarely open.
And No. 115 refers to a small shop with a dilapidated surface. Upon entering, Natsu saw an old man lying in a rocking chair behind the counter.
Feeling someone enter, the old man slightly opened his cloudy eyes, his eyes wandered slightly, and he slowly said, "What are you doing?"
"Buy something." Natsu looked calm.
The old man blinked his gray mist-covered eyes, pointing at the counter, "100 Alliance coins." on the cabinet.
"Enter." Seeing the money, the old man understood and pointed at the dilapidated wooden door behind him.
Before Natsu entered, the old man suddenly threw a parcel, "Rookie, wear it, it's good for you."
After the package was opened, it was a large black cloak, and a pale mask.
Natsu was stunned for a moment, then understood.
"Thank you."
Put on the cloak, put on the mask, and hid Weedle under the cloak.
He stepped in.
Inside, there is a long and narrow narrow corridor, only a few dim yellow lights can barely see the passage of the corridor.
Don't know how long.
Finally.
As a ray of light appeared, Natsu walked out of the long corridor and came to a place where the lights were as bright as day.
Interesting.
There are all kinds of shops selling all sorts of items that are directly or indirectly related to Pokemon, and there are even many shops that sell Pokemon openly, which are definitely outside of the Alliance. Direct transactions between Pokemon are expressly prohibited by the Alliance.
Moreover, in the streets between the various shops, there were a large number of people wearing the same clothes as Natsu, hiding under a large Black cloak and wearing pale masks.
Some people just take Pokemon with them to show their power.
Everyone kept a sufficient distance from each other and kept an eye on each other.
Of course, very few people don't wear black robes and show their true colors in person.
But there was no doubt that these were ruthless, reckless and fearless people, and some of them were even on the Alliance's wanted list.
And for these people, the rest try to stay away.
This place.
This market, which he didn't know where it was in Saffron City, was the biggest black market in Saffron City.
There were a large number of people with Black and gray identities, who carried out transactions that the Alliance allowed or did not allow.
But there's no doubt that basically anything Pokémon and Trainer-related can be purchased here.
Saffron City is the largest city in the Kanto Region, and the black market in Saffron City is naturally the largest black market in the entire Kanto Region.
There is one more thing to note.
It is Team Rocket who is responsible for guarding this black market and maintaining basic law and order.
