Chapter 55 Classic Reenactment
Azure's cry for help quickly caught the attention of Crimson, who was standing by the campfire.
A hand swept across her waist and hid behind her back. A flash of red light appeared, and Chi Hong quickly stood up.
He went up to help Azure up, and just then he saw Team Rocket minions chasing after him, panting heavily.
"Little girl, you're out of strength, aren't you? Quickly, surrender!"
Red noticed that the other person's uniform looked very familiar and couldn't help but ask.
"Are you with the Rockets?"
The henchman noticed the unusual-looking young man and couldn't help but laugh.
"Another one, little brother. I didn't expect you to know me. Well then, I'll be merciful and let you go."
"You just need to hand over your Pokémon and that little girl to me, and you can leave."
"Little girl, you've seen things you shouldn't have known. You have to come with me now. No one can save you, I'm telling you!"
The ordinary-looking boy straightened his hat, reached for the ball, and with a flash of red light, the Charizard appeared.
Seeing the crimson figure, the henchman's eyes turned hostile, and he reached into his waistband and pulled out a Poké Ball.
"Very well, you still dare to resist when you hear Team Rocket's name? Now you can't run away even if you hand over your Pokémon."
But because of the lighting, the henchmen didn't notice that Crimson was staring at the top of his head, seemingly waiting for something.
"Now! Swim fast!"
Just as the henchman took out a Poké Ball, a Poliwag suddenly jumped down from the tree above his head.
It is a crimson, fast-moving dragon, releasing energy that had been condensed long ago on the tree.
Hypnosis, face-to-face version, absolutely effective!
In a fight, you must first strike someone, then hypnotize them before striking, and if that fails, use a stick; to knock them unconscious, you must use force.
In just two seconds, the Rockets' lackeys were soundly asleep, collapsing to the ground.
Even the Poké Ball in his hand fell to the ground, rolling away and disappearing into the darkness.
Crimson did not relax. He found some vines, twisted them into ropes, and tied the other person's hands and feet together.
Neither the people nor the Pokémon noticed that there was a pair of small eyes watching them intently from above.
Once everything was finished, he looked at Bilan and asked, "Are you alright? Where did you find this person?"
Her small, blue lips twitched, her eyes became glistening, and she looked as if she were about to cry.
"I don't know, I just got lost in the forest and this guy tried to steal my Pokémon."
"Thank goodness you were here, I'm finally saved! You're amazing, you took care of that guy in no time."
His expression then turned to adoration, and he began showering Red with compliments.
Phrases like "Your tactics are brilliant, and your synergy with your Pokémon is perfect; I think you have the makings of a champion."
He showered Chi Hong with compliments without asking for anything in return, making him so happy he was practically beside himself.
This is what Pokémon trainers are like.
What are you talking about, beautiful women, dates, future partners? What are you talking about? It's all nonsense.
You're praising my battle skills? And my perfect synergy with my Pokémon? Praise me more, I love to hear it.
As she praised Azure, the conversation gradually shifted to Azure herself.
My family runs an orchard where we grow fruit trees. My grandfather was a master of energy cube blending, and I am the third-generation successor.
Unfortunately, the harvest was poor due to a disaster.
As if things weren't bad enough, even the Power Cubes started to become unsellable, piling up at home and unable to be sold.
The vivid and engaging performance moved Crimson to tears, filling him with sympathy.
The action of reaching into his pocket for a box made Red blush deeply, and he turned to look at Pichu on the ground.
Azure took out a box of energy cubes, and when she opened it, it was actually glowing faintly.
"My family has a secret ancestral method to mix energy cubes that are several times the quality of those of the same level, and their effects are astonishing."
Azure handed the box of energy cubes, which had been sprinkled with fluorescent powder beforehand, to Crimson, gesturing for him to examine it carefully.
"In previous years, my grandfather's energy cubes were in high demand and short supply, with champions from various regions lining up to reserve them."
"This year, we were suddenly squeezed out of our livelihood by the factory, and we really had no way to sell them."
"As the saying goes, even the strongest Pokémon needs to replenish its energy after a battle in order to grow faster."
"I see you have extraordinary talent; you're destined to become a champion."
"This box of Secret Energy Cubes originally cost 20 times the price of the regular version, but I'm selling it to you at half price."
Crimson was first bombarded with compliments, then empathized with, and finally offered an insider discount.
I felt it was a great deal; I bought this box of glowing energy cubes for ten times the price.
Seeing that the crimson was so generous, without even blinking, the azure eyes instantly transformed into the shape of coins.
A sense of elation began to rise within him: Hehe, it's a big fish, let's sell some other things too!
He then took out another box and began to explain it in a gentle and soft voice.
"Hero, your Poliwag is quite powerful, why hasn't it evolved yet?"
Chi Hong happily placed the energy cube, looked at Kuai Yong, and shook his head.
"My swimming skills are still lacking. The main problem is that I haven't found a Water Stone yet. I can't afford it. I'm still looking for one."
The evolution stones in this world are monopolized by a few large conglomerates, making them unaffordable for ordinary people.
Azure quickly opened the box of energy cubes in her hand, her face showing a "you've hit the jackpot" expression, which piqued Crimson's curiosity.
This box is different; it's coated with blue fluorescent powder, and the energy cubes glow with a faint blue light.
"Hero, you've really struck gold today!"
"This is a formula my grandfather improved upon based on a family secret method; it has miraculous effects!"
"It can gradually simulate the function of evolution stones. After taking three boxes in stages, you can directly bypass the evolution stones and complete the evolution!"
"My grandfather was blocked by the coalition because he developed this product that could replace evolution stones, which threatened the interests of those big corporations."
"The family business plummeted, and he became seriously ill from worry."
"Selling all our assets still wasn't enough to cover the medical expenses, and now we don't even have enough money to make ends meet."
Bi Lan's eyes reddened, and tears were about to fall, but she stubbornly raised her head, refusing to let the tears fall.
Seeing this, Crimson felt even more pity and wanted to help the other party.
But in order not to make the other person feel that she was pitying them, Crimson decided to say that she urgently needed the other person's help.
"What's the price? I really need these energy cubes. It's such a coincidence that I ran into you."
Azure was so moved that her voice trembled, which only enhanced her acting skills.
"If, if you need it, hero, three boxes at a discounted price, six times the price of the previous box, will suffice."
That's 20 times the price of the regular version?
Chi Hong checked the balance in his account; it was just enough to make a purchase with a few dollars left over.
Seeing that Bilan's face was already streaked with tears, he gritted his teeth and transferred all the money to Bilan to buy the items.
Upon seeing the successful transfer, Azure cheered inwardly, but didn't forget to finish up.
"Hero, you must have fed your Pokémon Energy Cubes before I arrived, right?"
"My energy cubes are of high quality and have plenty of energy."
"Giving them more food will only increase their energy levels, and if they don't burn it off, it will be harmful. It's not worth it."
"It's best to start taking it tomorrow; the effect will be even better if you take it after the battle!"
"That box of evolution cubes, you can take a maximum of 5 a day, finish one box in four days, and you'll be able to evolve in about 12 days!"
Crimson nodded, silently memorizing this important information.
The little eyes on the treetop seemed to understand what had happened, and it covered its mouth with its two little hands, laughing silently.
Azure noticed that Crimson's last transfer had both whole and odd amounts, confirming that Crimson had no money left.
Then their attention shifted to the Pichus who had been playing around with Crimson.
"Huh, is this light-colored Pikachu yours too? Is it a different color?"
