Chapter 167 - Exploring The Battle Tower
April 4th.
Paris, Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Roy carried the suitcase and set foot on this foreign land alone.
wrong....…
Looking at the little nebula on his shoulder, gnawing on the energy cube, as if cooking all the time, Roy corrected his inner monologue.
——Trainer is never alone no matter where he goes.
The shrinking Poké Balls around the waist will always accompany you.
The airport is a bit big, and Roy couldn't find the boarding gate for a while, so he found a blond local beauty and asked, "Hi, how do I get to the airport boarding point?"
Of course he doesn't speak French, but speaks English.
Although English is not strong, it is enough for daily communication.
The blond beauty sized him up and saw the little nebula on his shoulder and the Poké Ball on his waist, she immediately showed a warm smile and showed him the way.
Then, Roy was dumbfounded.
He couldn't understand what the other party was saying...
He speaks English, but the accent is very touching, which is the same as the island country's pronunciation of "Dragon" as "Duo La Gong".
Are French people so poor at speaking...
In desperation, Roy could only use the power of Bird to communicate. Telepathy conveys information directly, and Pokémon can communicate across species, let alone across borders.
It's convenient, but don't use it if you can, because...
Too loud.
as expected.
Knowing that Roy is not only a trainer, but also a psychic, the blonde beauty will lead him the way, and 11 insists on asking Roy to leave a contact information before leaving...
It's okay if it's hostility, but enthusiasm is really hard to refuse.
In desperation, Roy left his contact information...well, Mu Tianyang's.
This is a small episode of the journey.
Half an hour later, Roy arrived at the Shangri-La Hotel he booked, checked in, and went to his room.
After putting down his luggage, the first thing he did was to walk to the spacious open-air balcony and look at a towering tower building not far away.
The Eiffel Tower in Paris?
No no no.
That thing is gone in this world.
Instead, it is the world-famous Pokémon battle facility.
———Develop the Battle Tower.
Battle Tower has a total of forty-nine floors.
On each floor, there is a floor master who is a trainer with good strength.
The strength of the floor master gradually becomes stronger as the number of floors rises.
After the trainer pays the registration deposit, he can challenge the floor master. Every time he wins the next floor, he will get battle points. The higher the floor number, the more points he will get after winning the game.
Points can be redeemed for prizes offered by Battle Tower.
Each layer cannot repeat the challenge.
Every year, countless Trainers from all over the world come to challenge and open up the Battle Tower, and there is even an Elite training Trainer to challenge...
So far, no one has completely cleared Battle Tower.
Who is the owner of the forty-ninth floor is still an urban legend...
There are rumors that it is one of the few champion trainers in Europe, sitting on the top of the tower, and this Battle Tower is a facility for the official selection of talents.
The location of the European Youth Championship this time is also in this pioneering Battle Tower.
"The registration day is tomorrow..."
"momo!" Xiao Xingyun nodded in agreement.
"However, it's all here, I still have to go and see for myself." Roy murmured.
"momo!" Xiao Xingyun repeated relentlessly.
...Nebula is a dumb Pokémon.
"momo!"
Roy was stunned for a while, then said angrily, "You're out of dinner today."
Xiao Xingyun suddenly woke up, and the half-gnawed energy cube fell to the ground, unbelievable.
"mo!"
Seeing that Roy didn't change his mind at all, Xiao Xingyun silently picked up half of the energy cube on the ground, and gnawed it miserably.
When I first took over people, it was agreed that I would be full every day, with food and accommodation included.
Now you think I'm useless, deducting wages from time to time, right?
After all, it was a wrong payment.
Expand the Battle Tower.
Foreign trainers like Roy do not enjoy privileges locally. To put it simply, it costs money for him to go to the Pokémon center in France, and he can't go whoring for nothing.
However, the TrainerID is universal.
At the gate of the Battle Tower, the TrainerID was entered, and after face recognition, Roy successfully entered the tower.
Under the coaching of the staff, Roy understood the rules of the game here.
3v3 personal battles.
The registration fee for Battle Tower is 100,000 yuan at a time.
The unit is Euro.
Converted into the currency of the Dragon Kingdom, that is...
"Seven hundred thousand?"
Roy clicked his tongue secretly. For him now, this amount of money is nothing, but from the perspective of ordinary people, it costs 700,000 yuan to sign up once, which is simply outrageously expensive.
Also, this challenge qualification is not permanent
The floor cannot be challenged repeatedly, and once the battle is defeated, the registration fee must be paid again.
In other words, the 700,000 bought a resurrection coin.
Rely on precious prizes to attract Trainers to challenge, sell resurrection coins to earn money from "vegetable and playful" Trainers, and select talents...
I have to say that the founder of this Battle Tower is very business minded.
"With such an expensive resurrection coin, if you want to win people, the prizes must be quite rich..."
Roy took the tablet computer handed over by the staff, and checked what prizes the battle points can be exchanged for here.
really.
The lowest grade that can be exchanged for points is Magical Town.
Fire Stone, Water Stone, Kings Rock, and the 'Electirizer' needed for Electabuzz to evolve into Electivire are among them.
That's for Normal's Electabuzz, though.
Electirizer is useless for Roy's Electabuzz.
To put it bluntly, the so-called Electirizer is actually a box that stores a huge amount of electrical energy.
Normal's Electabuzz, absorbing this high-voltage lightning, can cause evolution... But this kind of ordinary electrical energy is too low-end for Electabuzz who has mastered the 'mega-level voltage', and it is impossible to even move it. Not driven.
The middle-level prizes are the sales of some cheat books.
Among them, there are many cheats of some European masters.
In addition to cheats, there are also some rare Pokémon eggs, such as Yusanjia.
Among the top-end prizes, there are even transcendence cheats created by quasi-god Pokémon and Elite...
Roy is more and more curious about the real identity of the tower owner of the Battle Tower. Is this too big?
"Huh? This is..." Roy stared at a prize classified as low-grade.
It was a gemstone, pale gold in color throughout, with a red and blue Leafage pattern engraved in the center. Roy is very sensitive to this 'Leafage-like' gemstone...
Because, the iconic feature of Mega Stone, it is this pattern.
"World Tree Orb... actually gave Mega Stone such a name? You really belonged to it."
Roy complained.
The goal of his visit this time is to get the 'Key Stone' and 'Mega Stone', so naturally he collected information on these two things.
The existence of Key Stone and Mega Stone was discovered thirty years ago.
Key Stone, named as "Life Stone", all countries are tirelessly studying how to activate and use the huge life energy in the gemstone, which is a strategic resource.
And Mega Stone, also known as "World Tree Orb", is also said to be "Leafage Gem".
The energy cannot be scanned in Mega Stone, and the use cannot be detected by 620. However, this kind of gemstone with no artificial traces and natural patterns can be seen at a glance as not ordinary, and it is very popular among some collectors.
Collectors collect things like antique gems, not only because they love them, but also because antique gems are relatively stable in value, and there is hope of appreciation... just like real estate speculators
However, because it has been unclear what the specific function is, Mega Stone has received a bad reputation in recent years, and its value has been declining.
I heard that many collectors are selling recently.....
The incidental goal of Roy coming to Europe this time is to collect Mega Stones, the more the better, even if his Pokémon can't be used......
Because, on this earth "no one understands Mega Evolution better than him.
He is very clear that once the Mega evolution comes out, the price of these Mega Stones will skyrocket. It is not an exaggeration to buy a few villas in Shanghai with a Mega Stone...
Roy counted, there are twelve Mega Stones in the Battle Tower prizes. Since it is just a collectible, the points required to redeem Mega Stone are not high.
Roy only needs to get to the twentieth floor of the Battle Tower, and Roy can redeem all twelve Mega Stones.
"I don't know if there are Lucario, Blastoise, Metagross's Mega Stone..."
Roy murmured, just looking at the pictures, he can't confirm, after all, there are subtle deviations in the appearance of many props in the game and in reality.
But that's okay.
Just hit the twentieth floor.
Roy smiled slightly, and walked towards the Registration Office of Battle Tower.
