In the morning, after the three of them got up and ate breakfast, they followed the result they had discussed yesterday and walked off in their respective directions.
In the city, you can't casually let out small Pokémon, except for some small Pokémon, such as: Pikachu, Jigglypuff—those pet-oriented small Pokémon.
Also, there are work-type Pokémon, such as: Machop, Machoke, Machamp—these common moving and construction-site small Pokémon, but work-type Pokémon must also carry work certification.
Nobunaga could only let out Grimer, have it become smaller, and hide it inside his collar.
Walking to a newsstand at the southeast corner of Cerulean City, he took out five thousand and put it on the table, and asked the person inside:
"Where is the black market here? What time does it start?"
After that person accepted the money, he counted it, then smiled and said:
"9 p.m., it's held in the sewers on this street."
After learning the time and place where the black market was held, Nobunaga immediately turned around and left.
"Ah, a whole day—what should I go do!" Nobunaga thought as he walked along the street.
He saw a massage parlor. Inside, many fighting-type small Pokémon were lying on beds, and an uncle was giving them massages.
After Nobunaga saw it, he walked into this massage parlor and looked at the advertising flyers and item prices posted in the shop.
"Come for a proper small Pokémon massage! Let your Pokémon recover their vigor!"
This kind of slogan made Nobunaga a bit curious about this shop's Pokémon massages. If there were no effect, there wouldn't be so many people bringing Pokémon here to relax.
He looked at the prices.
Pokémon relaxation massage: 3000 yuan
Full-body essential oil massage: 5000 yuan
Herbal repair massage: 10000 yuan
After seeing the prices, Nobunaga decided to let his Pokémon relax here.
"Boss, herbal repair massage, five Pokémon."
After the shop owner heard this, he turned and said to Nobunaga: "Sorry, we only have three masseurs here. Please wait a moment."
After saying that, he threw himself wholeheartedly back into the massage.
Nobunaga, bored, watched their massage techniques; they were completely different from his own rough massage techniques, and the Pokémon all showed pleased expressions.
But thinking of when he massaged his own Pokémon, Koffing and the others also smiled very happily; unconsciously, Nobunaga's smile also hung on his face.
Time passed quickly, and it was Nobunaga's Pokémon's turn. He let out Koffing, Golbat, Nidorino; the three Pokémon would enjoy a proper small Pokémon massage for the first time.
As the uncles pressed their hands onto the Pokémon's bodies, Koffing and the others also revealed pleased smiles.
After the Pokémon's bodies relaxed, they evenly smeared on the bodies of several Pokémon a paste made by pounding herbs. Then they used their superb techniques to press and massage again.
After the three Pokémon finished the care massage, their bodies emitted a different kind of luster.
Seeing this, Nobunaga let out Arbok again, and also had Grimer become bigger. Both Pokémon held extremely great expectations for the upcoming massage.
Time came to noon.
Nobunaga brought five Pokémon that were refreshed after the massage to a Pokémon buffet restaurant, and after paying to enter.
Several Pokémon again showed an appearance of being unbearably hungry. Nobunaga hadn't starved them either; he really didn't know why, upon seeing food, several Pokémon became like this.
As soon as Nobunaga put the large plate filled with food onto the dining table, several Pokémon started grabbing it, and very quickly one plate was eaten clean.
Nobunaga could only go and bring plate after plate onto the table, watching the several Pokémon wolf down the food.
Nobunaga thought in his heart: "With you all here, it's really good!"
After several Pokémon ate their fill, Nobunaga then went to pick the food he would eat; in a few bites he finished, then brought the Pokémon to the movie theater.
"Ever since Koffing and the others followed me, it's been battle or training; I still haven't taken them to properly relax even once!"
Thinking this, Nobunaga decided that today he would take them to have a thorough good time.
Walking to Cerulean City's largest movie theater, he booked a large private room. After going in, he let out several Pokémon.
What was hotly showing here recently was "Pokémon Detective Pikachu," and Nobunaga also bought this showing.
As the movie began, several Pokémon also stopped fooling around with Nobunaga and focused on watching the screen.
The movie wasn't long; in just a short hour, the whole movie ended.
Nobunaga took several Pokémon back into Poké Ball, and then went to the department store.
The goods here made people's eyes spin. Walking to the front of a shop selling small Pokémon food, Nobunaga stopped his steps.
Seeing that there were actually energy cubes here, he hurriedly asked the clerk.
The clerk introduced to Nobunaga: "This is the newest product researched by the Hoenn League; it contains all the nutrition needed for Pokémon growth."
"If you don't mind, you can let your small Pokémon have a taste, oh."
After the clerk finished speaking, Nobunaga let out several Pokémon.
He let them taste the energy cubes. Aside from Arbok not liking them very much, the other Pokémon all liked the texture of the energy cubes.
"Right now, if you buy energy cubes, buy three boxes and get one box free; you can also buy a portable Berry blender, and the current promotional price is 20% off."
Hearing the term "portable Berry blender," Nobunaga suddenly reacted and asked the clerk:
"Is it that thing that's called the portable blender?"
The clerk said somewhat blankly, "I don't know..."
Then she took out the portable Berry blender for Nobunaga to look at.
The portable Berry blender was very small and exquisite, and it needed to be used together with an energy cube box.
Insert the energy cube box into the portable Berry blender; put the Berry in and it would stir by itself, producing ordinary energy cubes.
Nobunaga asked the clerk: "How much is this portable Berry blender?"
The clerk pointed at the sign next to it and said: "During the promotion period, the Berry blender that was originally 200,000 is now only 160,000."
Nobunaga took out Indigo League's bank card and swiped the card to buy this idiot blender.
The clerk also included a manual, which recorded the production methods for six common kinds of energy cubes.
Carrying the bag, Nobunaga walked toward the shop for space backpacks ahead and bought three black medium-sized space backpacks.
Carrying big and small bags, he first returned home. After putting the things away, he found that the two of them, Shitomen and Yan, still hadn't come back.
So he carried one of the backpacks on his back and put all of his belongings into it.
