----------

As for the remaining two ordinary evolution stones, Marcus directly put them up for sale on the PokeTrader forum, and also listed the remaining high-quality evolution stones. He would sell them when he got a suitable price.

"Let me see what's in this System store..."

Marcus clicked on the store button and started researching...

A moment later, he closed the panel with some disappointment.

Unlike the shop he imagined, the System store only allowed him to repeatedly purchase items he had already obtained through the gacha.

And the price was 20 master points, which is 200,000 PD.

This was equivalent to twice the cost of a single gacha pull.

After some research, only the TMs 'Encore' and 'Substitute' were worth buying.

As for special items, the Normal-type Pokemon Egg, morphing device, and Teleport Stone were still somewhat useful.

However, Marcus's lineup was basically formed now, so the demand for Pokemon Eggs wasn't high. But he could get a few for Whitney; gambling on an egg for 200,000 was also quite good.

The morphing device wasn't very useful either. If he wasn't specializing in Normal-types, he could consider morphing into a high-appearance Pokemon like Alolan Ninetales, Galarian Rapidash, etc., to play around with.

The last one, the Teleport Stone, was quite comfortable.

Spending 200,000 to escape in a critical moment was a good choice.

After all, this world isn't entirely peaceful. Just in Sinnoh alone, there's an evil organization like Team Galactic.

This was a terrifying organization that would capture the Lake guardians and summon the Time-Space Duo to create a new world in the future.

They could be said to have the highest prestige among all the villains, besides Team Rocket.

"I remember, Team Galactic has a base in Eterna City, right?" Marcus recalled the plot from when he played Diamond and Pearl.

Although this world is based on the anime's worldview, the anime only gives fragmented introductions to Team Galactic's actions, and the specific activities are not clearly explained.

"I can go check it out when I have time..." Marcus mused to himself.

With the Teleport Stone, he also had some capital for adventure.

If he could obtain information about various legendary Pokemon from Team Galactic, it would also be more convenient to help Lopunny find her grandmother later...

In the myths and legends of Sinnoh, Arceus created the world and also created the three creation deities that govern time, space, and distortion: Dialga, the deity of time; Palkia, the deity of space; and Giratina, the deity of distortion.

The three legendary Pokemon live in their respective dimensions.

Among them, Giratina lives in the Distortion World, also known as the Reverse World.

In the original plot, Team Galactic's leader, Cyrus, captured the three mental deities: Uxie, the deity of wisdom; Mesprit, the deity of emotion; and Azelf, the deity of willpower (commonly known as the Lake guardians), and used them to create the Red Chain that controls the Time-Space Duo.

He attempted to use the power of the two time-space deities to destroy the existing world and create a new one.

Unfortunately, his plan was ultimately foiled by Ash and others, but he entered the new world he created through a portal, and has been unheard of since.

This point differs somewhat from the game, where Cyrus was dragged into the Distortion World by Giratina, defeated there by the protagonist, Cynthia, and the Lake guardians working together, and ultimately disappeared into the depths of the Distortion World.

Due to his appearance, the original timeline has already undergone some changes, and Marcus is not sure if the plot will completely follow the anime.

However, if he can stop Team Galactic's plan in time, he should be able to gain some favor with various legendary Pokemon.

Furthermore, he has a bold idea...

You know, in the Snowpoint Temple on Mt. Coronet, there is a legendary Pokemon that has existed since ancient times slumbering there - Regigigas!

As one of the few Pokemon that exists in groups, Regigigas can also be caught.

And it's a Normal-type.

Isn't this a perfect match for his specialty...

"If only Arceus could be caught too... it's also a Normal-type..." Marcus smiled and shook his head.

You always have to have dreams... even if the probability of them coming true is almost zero...

....

After tidying up, Marcus took his four Pokemon to the Eterna Gym on the outskirts of the city.

Looking from afar, it was a cylindrical, flat building, with various plants like ivy and moss growing on the surrounding walls. The natural atmosphere was refreshing and invigorating.

"Excuse me, is anyone there—"

Marcus called out from outside the door. A moment later, a woman with green hair in a mushroom cut, wearing a green outfit, walked out from the Gym's glass door.

Under the loose green cape-like top was a black tight-fitting inner layer, exposing a slender waist and a sexy navel. The lower half consisted of loose orange shorts, and her toned calves were wrapped in green short boots, giving her a wild and natural beauty.

"I am Gardenia, the Gym Leader of the Eterna Gym. Young man, are you here to challenge the Gym?"

"Ah yes, I..." Just as Marcus opened his mouth, Gardenia instantly appeared beside him and reached out to hold Dolliv's small hand.

"Wow wow wow! It's a Pokemon I've never seen before! That vibrant green, that beautiful grass skirt, so cute~! It must be a Grass-type Pokemon, right, right?"

Marcus's mouth twitched slightly: "Uh... yes, it's called Dolliv, it's a Pokemon from the Paldea Region, its types are Normal + Grass."

"Amazing!!~" Gardenia then looked at Marcus: "A Trainer with a Grass-type Pokemon, you must be a good person!"

Marcus: "..."

Why are you giving me a 'good person card' out of nowhere?

Finally, after being touched all over by Gardenia, Dolliv managed to break free from her clutches.

"You're Marcus from Goldenrod City, right? I think I heard Roark mention you. You want to make more effective Pokeblocks?"

"Yes, and also the Gym challenge."

"I see..." Gardenia pinched her chin and thought for a while: "However, I happen to have an exhibition to open today. If it's convenient, would you like to come with me? It's at the Eterna History Museum. If it's your first time in Eterna City, it's a great place to visit~"

"How about we have the Gym battle after I'm done in the afternoon?"

"Okay, I have no problem with that."

And so, at Gardenia's enthusiastic invitation, Marcus went with her to the museum in the city center.

The entire building complex was very grand, made of a special blue-green material, paired with thickened tempered bulletproof glass, maximizing the safety of the artifacts inside the museum.

"This is one of the few places that preserves ancient Sinnoh relics~" Gardenia introduced as they walked.

And Marcus saw many items he was interested in.

[Space-Time Tower Miniature Model: A model built proportionally smaller based on the world's largest instrument, the Space-Time Tower, with commemorative significance.]

[Adamant Orb: An orb emitting the light of time, containing the law of time. At the Spear Pillar on the summit of Mt. Coronet, it can open the dimension where Dialga, the deity of time, lives.

When held, it greatly increases the power of moves of its type, and can switch between its normal and Origin Formes.]
