----------

Arriving at the Pokemon Center, Marcus spent a few hundred PD to book a five-day stay.

He planned to spend the remaining days in Oreburgh City looking for potential money-making opportunities.

While waiting for his two Pokemon to be treated, Marcus also had time to call Whitney.

Soon, the call connected, and the video was dim. Marcus could vaguely see two huge white round creatures.

"Ugh... What time is it now?" Whitney lifted the blanket, her hazy eyes opening, and only then did she realize the angle of her phone...

The next moment.

"Ah--!!"

The girl's scream came from Marcus's phone, and then the screen went black...

Marcus, meanwhile, covered his heating nose, lowering his head to hide the unnatural look on his face...

The beautiful scene he had just glimpsed kept flashing in his mind, and his thoughts began to wander.

Indeed, is sleeping naked the secret to healthy growth?

"Cough cough..." At this moment, the screen returned to normal, and Whitney also put on a pajama, asking, "How is it? Have you arrived in Oreburgh City?"

"Yes, but there was a small issue, so I might have to challenge the Gym in the afternoon."

Marcus said, but his eyes unconsciously moved downwards.

Seemingly noticing his gaze, Whitney's pretty face flushed slightly, and she softly muttered, "Bah... you got off cheap..."

"Huh? What did you say?" Marcus didn't hear clearly.

"I said you're a stinky pervert! Humph, I am hanging up!" With that, Whitney hung up the phone.

She turned and burrowed into the blanket, rolling around.

"Ah ah ah... It's over, I've been seen..."

"Will Marcus think I'm too fat... Mary said only someone like her is normal..."

Whitney rolled several times, then suddenly sat up, the expression on her face changing from shyness to petulance: "No, I'm the boss... He should be the one who's scared!"

"Humph, baka Marcus, his eyes were clearly sparkling when he looked, and he still pretended as if nothing happened..."

....

Marcus silently put away his phone, asked about his two Pokemon's treatment time, and after learning it would be noon before they recovered, he decided to look around.

Otherwise, staying here would make him prone to overthinking, and thinking too much would set a flag....

...

Oreburgh City is known as a place where energy emerges.

The coal resources unearthed here account for nearly half of the energy sources in the entire Sinnoh region.

Because of the abundant coal beneath the city, the entire underground has long been excavated, with layers upon layers of mine tunnels.

Above ground, exhaust vents from the underground mines stand everywhere, causing the city's air to be slightly turbid, giving it a sense of a heavily industrialized city.

Holding the Pokemon egg in his arms, Marcus curiously looked around.

There aren't many buildings here, mostly residential houses. Only in the northeast corner of the city is there a huge museum, and from a distance, you can see the ecological park surrounded by reinforced glass.

According to his memories from his previous life, this place possesses unique fossil revival technology and has created a unique ancient living environment for the Pokemon revived from fossils.

Furthermore, in the game, this museum is free of charge, making it one of the most conscientious and richest in content.

Marcus wandered around the streets for a while, found nothing, and simply went to the museum to visit.

Upon entering, the first floor was filled with oddly shaped coal and fossils.

Marcus even saw a large ore reaching nearly ten meters in height.

"I heard the Oreburgh Coal Mine mining competition is starting again. I wonder how many people will get rich overnight this time..."

"Yeah, I still remember, someone dug up two fossils last year, and the museum even offered a high price of 500,000 PD for the most complete one!"

"That was just a Kabuto fossil. If it were a complete fossil of an evolved Pokemon like Kabutops or Armaldo, the exhibition value would be even greater, maybe it could sell for millions!"

Marcus was startled and stepped forward to ask, "Can I still participate in this mining competition?"

"Of course you can! Gym Leader Roark said you can participate as long as you register on the day!"

After learning the detailed rules of the competition from the two, Marcus thanked them and left.

The mining competition requires Trainers to lead a Pokemon to excavate. The entry fee is 2000 PD. The excavated coal will be repurchased at the League price, while fossils can either be revived or sold to the museum for exhibition, depending on one's preference.

Based on previous years, it's completely possible to get back the 2000 PD, making it a good opportunity to make a big profit with a small investment.

Marcus pondered for a moment. He could very well take Buneary into the cave to dig... If he could really dig up a fossil, it would alleviate some financial pressure.

Recently, his two Pokemon's level has increased significantly, and their appetite and expenses have also increased greatly.

Maintaining the Dream Space for 2 hours every day costs 40,000 PD, and the little one in the egg hatching later will also require more money...

Although he can make Pokeblocks to earn money, Berries are ultimately limited. For example, there are only a few Berry shops in Oreburgh City...

He had previously bought out all the Berry shops in Jubilife City and only earned a little over a million, and after expenses, Marcus had already spent it all.

Fortunately, it's still enough for now. He's just waiting to purchase more when he gets to Eterna City... After all, being close to Eterna Forest, Eterna City's Berry resources are among the richest in Sinnoh.

"Being a Trainer is really a money-burning profession..." Marcus sighed and returned to the Pokemon Center.

After spending another few thousand to ask Nurse Joy to give the Pokemon egg a check-up, his two Pokemon also recovered their vitality.

Not in a hurry to go to the Gym, Marcus returned to his room and took his two Pokemon into the Dream Space.

Just like yesterday, Buneary put on headphones and started the Bounce training in Chocobo Racing.

Smoliv, on the other hand, continued to watch the movie "Parasite" and repeatedly watched the world weather forecast...

Two hours later.

[Ding, Smoliv's Leech Seed and Weather Ball proficiency has increased to 'Proficient' level by watching the movie "Parasite" and weather forecasts!]

[Ding, Buneary's total jump duration in Chocobo Racing has reached 20 minutes, and the Bounce move proficiency has increased to 'Proficient' level! She has learned the move 'Rain Dance' after looping "Common Jasmine Orange" a cumulative 50 times!]

Hearing the System sound, Marcus couldn't help but smile slightly.

That's right, Rain Dance was the targeted move he prepared for Roark.

Among Cranidos's move pool, the biggest threat to Smoliv is Flamethrower. Smoliv currently doesn't have invincible moves like Protect or Substitute, or moves that increase resistance, and she cannot learn Rain Dance herself.

So Marcus asked Buneary for help.

And to help her little sister, Buneary was also very diligent, roughly mastering the use of Rain Dance in just two days!

Under Rainy Weather, Fire-type moves have their power reduced to 50%, which is very important for the upcoming Gym battle.

Recalling his two Pokemon, Marcus leisurely walked out of the Pokemon Center and headed straight for the Oreburgh Gym in the distance.

"Looking at him, he seems quite confident..."

In the corner, Mary said, pinching her chin.

"Of course! Marcus just has a poor background, otherwise, he might have already become an Elite Four member or Champion..."

Beside her, Whitney hugged her chest and smiled sweetly as she looked at that tall back.

"...." Mary rolled her eyes and chose to remain silent.

Arguing with a love-struck girl about her beloved is definitely not a wise move...
