Chapter 113 Enjoy the treatment of Karuni
As described in the information Lu Sha had previously reviewed, Black Gold City is a city that takes industrial aesthetics to the extreme.
As far as the eye can see, there are only rugged, square, and sturdy stone buildings.
The streets are filled with a mix of steam and mechanical feel, and most of the Pokémon that come and go are large-sized, with Rock and Ground types making up the vast majority. The air is filled with the dry smell of minerals and engine oil.
This journey into the city was not smooth from the very beginning.
"It's Chief Judge of Cattleya!"
"It really is her! The pride of Sinnoh!"
"Haha, looking forward to you winning the Sinnoh Championship!"
The moment the two stepped into the city, the streets on both sides instantly erupted in excitement.
Enthusiastic cheers rose and fell, and countless dark-skinned miners and young passersby waved excitedly, making the scene comparable to a fan meeting of an international superstar.
That's not surprising.
The friendly match against Karune a few days ago was broadcast live across the entire Sinnoh region, and the edited clips afterwards went viral on various platforms.
In the world of Pokémon, the popularity of top trainers far surpasses that of ordinary movie stars.
It's no exaggeration to say that Cattleya is now a household name and a national idol in Sinnoh, and has even been given the title of future champion by mainstream media.
As long as there's internet at home, it's impossible not to recognize the young lady's stunningly beautiful face.
Of course, along with the enthusiastic fans, there were also hot-blooded young trainers who came up with a challenge.
However, Lu Sha dismissed all these challenges by waving his shark arm.
It's all Geodude, Gopher, and Sandshrew; it's not fun fighting them.
If you really want a challenge, you should at least warm up with a dojo-level opponent!
They're not like Cynthia, the battle maniac who uses her ace to give pointers to every new trainer she encounters.
Finally, with several Miss Jenny honking their horns to clear the way, the two managed to escape the chaos and arrive at the most luxurious Black Gold Hotel in the city center.
"I'm sorry for the trouble."
Cattleya nodded slightly and politely handed the signed notebook back to Officer Jenny, who was leading the group.
"Not at all, maintaining order is our duty! Investigator Cattleya, please be sure to contact us next time you encounter difficulties!" Miss Officer Garfield carefully put away the autograph as if it were a treasure, and waved goodbye with a bright smile.
"Crack! (That's terrifying!)"
Only after entering the top-floor suite did Lu Sha pat his chest with lingering fear.
While this sense of novelty that attracts worldwide attention isn't bad, it certainly has a significant impact on the quality of life.
"I'll go wash up first. While I'm at it, I'll figure out how to minimize our presence."
Cattleya frowned slightly, took off her still spotless white dress, and went into the bathroom.
Although she could sense the goodwill emanating from passersby, the oppressive feeling of being surrounded by their gazes made her somewhat uncomfortable.
"Click! (Okay!)"
Lu Sha didn't even lift her eyelids, just nestled on the sofa like a shark.
We need to figure out a method, otherwise we won't be able to leave the house in the future.
He now understands somewhat what those celebrities felt in his past life.
So, how does Karuni spend her days?
In Carlos, Karen is much more famous than they are.
Thinking of this, Lu Sha took out her phone and asked a question.
"Huh? (What do you mean you never go out except for business activities and battles? You have to be completely covered up and disguise yourself when you go out?)"
Lu Shasha was dumbfounded when he saw Karuni's reply.
So being a celebrity means you don't get any private time at all?
No!
An hour later.
Cattleya, her blonde hair slightly damp, emerged from the bathroom radiant.
"I've got an idea!"
"Click! (What can I do?)" Lu Sha sat up.
"Hypnosis!"
Caldelia said earnestly, "We'll use our superpowers to create a mild hypnotic field around us. That way, even if passersby see us, their subconscious will blur our features and they'll just see us as ordinary tourists."
"Click! (Is the operation complicated?)"
"No trouble at all, this is a good opportunity to practice hypnosis. I think I need 359 more hypnosis sessions to advance to the Heavenly King level."
Cattleya spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, without ever considering how Lu Sha had managed to pinpoint the progress to the single digits.
In her mind, all she had to do was completely trust Lu Sha and practice blindly according to his plan.
She even felt that she had been slacking off lately.
Garuda has evolved into Garchomp and is about to become Garchomp, after which it will surpass her.
She doesn't want to be surpassed by Lu Sha!
"Click! (Let's go then, let's test the effect later. Where should we go first?)"
Hearing that there was a solution and it wouldn't be troublesome, Lu Sha immediately relaxed.
Black Gold City, a heavy industrial hub with a population of hundreds of thousands, may not be as bustling as Zhuqing City, but it still has plenty of places to visit.
Since we've come all this way, we should definitely take the time to explore the famous attractions.
"The Black Gold Mine, the Black Gold Ore Market, and the Black Gold Gym—these are the three places we're going to, right?"
Cattleya gently dried her hair with a towel, methodically confirming the itinerary.
"Click! (That's right! There's also a black gold museum, but that's just for fooling ordinary tourists. It's too childish for us. If we really want to mine and find treasure, we might as well just go down into the mine.)" Lu Sha nodded in agreement.
"Let's go to the mineral market first. We can practice hypnosis on the way, and once we get to the dojo, we should be able to level up." Cattleya was eager to try.
"Click! (Okay!)"
After agreeing on the terms, the man and the shark went out again.
As for the psychological impact that the young lady's advancement to the Elite Four level will have on the Pokémon of the Black Gold Gym, that's not something Lu Sha should worry about.
The thought of a superhuman battling a gym is incredibly exciting.
As it turns out, the young lady's method was quite effective.
After leaving the Black Gold Hotel, the passersby lost all their previous enthusiasm and completely ignored Lu Sha and his group.
"Click! (That's the effect I wanted!)"
Lu Sha always felt uneasy about being ignored in the past.
But after experiencing the troubles of being a celebrity, all he wanted was to be ignored every day.
The black gold ore market is the largest mineral trading market in Sinnoh.
Riding on the one-horned rhinoceros, Lu Sha and his companions arrived at their destination in just 10 minutes.
"It's huge, and there are so many people."
Gadriya gazed at the vast market, her emerald green eyes scanning the surroundings.
This was her first time visiting a place like this.
The black gold ore market in front of us is a huge open-air market covering a vast area.
Unlike a high-end boutique Pokémon Jewel Shop, this place has a primitive and dilapidated feel to it.
Countless open-air stalls stretched along both sides of the street. Most of the stall owners looked like men who had just climbed out of the mine, covered in dust. Even Haoli and Longlongyan next to them had mud on their bodies that hadn't been washed off.
"Take a look! A freshly unearthed Thunder Stone, of excellent quality, guaranteed to replace if evolution fails!"
"A top-tier Everstone, specially prepared for Pokémon that don't want to evolve. Don't miss it!"
The cacophony of vendors' cries echoed through the air, and crowds thronged the market, creating a lively atmosphere.
Lu Sha looked around and confirmed it.
The trading model here is basically the same as the jade market in my previous life.
Since it's like a jade market, the sellers' methods should be pretty much the same, right?
With this in mind, Lu Sha pulled Jia Deliya to a stall.
"Miss, what would you like to buy?"
The stall vendor asked cheerfully, his eyes lighting up when he saw Lu Sha.
Cattleya only gave herself a hint; she did not cover for Lu Sha.
Garudas are rare, but not enough to cause a disturbance.
However, the fact that Garchomp is a Pokémon already implies that Caitlin is either rich or noble.
A big deal has come in!
