From the "Reverse Gravity" move just now, Kawaki is very talented in developing moves.
If he becomes an official Trainer, he can make the most of this talent.
Becoming a Champion in the future, he can earn money through competitions and GG endorsements.
If he doesn't become a Champion, he can also use his years of travel experience to join industries related to Trainers or Pokémon.
Seeing Steven's expression, Kawaki suddenly felt like laughing.
Steven was empathizing with him!
However, Kawaki currently doesn't need funding from Devon Corporation. Now that the Breeding House is officially on track, those funding slots should be left for Trainers who truly need them!
"I haven't finished speaking," Kawaki said, shaking his head. "At first, I didn't have much of a goal, I just wanted to earn some money to support myself and Bewear, but now…"
"And now?" Steven pressed.
Kawaki looked at Bewear and the Clefairys and replied:
"Now, I just want to run this Breeding House with everyone, take care of more Pokémon, and find all the Pokémon I like to keep in the backyard. This is also my dream."
"A very good dream," Steven praised softly.
Kawaki smiled, then asked, "So Steven, do you have any dreams? To become the League Champion?"
Steven nodded and said, "That's just a goal on my path of cultivation."
"Then is there anything you truly want to do?" Kawaki asked again.
Steven suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Kawaki: "?"
"To be honest, I really love Stones, whether they are ancient fossils, meteorites that fall from the sky, or rare Stones deep within mines."
"Although it might seem strange to outsiders, to me, they are very charming."
When talking about Stones, Steven was radiant, his eyes filled with elegance and confidence.
Kawaki: "…"
As expected, it was the Steven he was familiar with.
"Speaking of which… I do have a few Stones here that are hard to find on this planet."
With that, Kawaki stood up and took out the meteorites the Clefairys had given him from his own warehouse.
Seeing this rare, shimmering Stone, Steven's eyes immediately widened.
It was a beautiful Stone he had never seen before!
Immediately after, Steven looked up at Kawaki, his eyes filled with longing, and two large words clearly written on his face:
Want it!
"How is it?" Kawaki asked.
Steven instantly had the urge to buy this Stone for a hefty price.
"Extremely precious," he said softly, his eyes fixed on the Stone. "It doesn't look like a Stone from this planet. Judging by its appearance and luster, it seems to be from outer space."
Kawaki nodded. As expected of Steven, the passionate Stone enthusiast, his guess was completely correct.
"Kawaki, I wonder if you would be willing to sell this Stone to me," Steven finally couldn't help but ask.
"Sorry, this Stone is not for sale," Kawaki shook his head.
Under Steven's disappointed and regretful gaze, Kawaki continued, "However, it can be exchanged."
Steven's previously dim eyes instantly lit up.
He straightened his expression and asked, "What do you need?"
Kawaki glanced at the Clefairys, who had gathered to watch at some point, and said, "Moon Stone."
Moon Stone?
Steven was slightly stunned, his gaze immediately falling on the Clefairy nearby.
As far as he knew, Pokémon like Clefairy needed a Moon Stone to evolve into their final form, Clefable.
Kawaki needing a Moon Stone probably meant he wanted the Clefairys at the Breeding House to evolve into Clefable, right?
Although Moon Stone is not common, it is, after all, a product of this planet.
Whether it was Fire ite, Water ite, Thunder ite, or Moon Stone, none of them were rare to Steven.
In his early years, when he was seven or eight and first developed an interest in Stones, he had already spent a lot of money on them.
Now, his Stone warehouse had the most of these ites.
Moreover, Moon Stone is something that can be bought, but such a rare meteorite is priceless!
"Okay," Steven agreed without hesitation.
But he hesitated a little because he didn't have those Stones with him right now.
If he went home to get them, it would take a long time…
Because the house where he kept his Stones was not in Rustboro City, but in Mossdeep City, in the eastern part of the Hoenn region.
After a moment of silence, Steven explained his situation.
Just as he thought Kawaki would ask him to go home first and then return for the exchange, he heard Kawaki say:
"In that case, you can take this Stone with you on your way. I'll wait here for you to return with the Moon Stone."
Steven was slightly surprised. Kawaki trusted him that much?
This made a feeling of being trusted well up in Steven's heart.
He nodded seriously, took the Stone, leaving only a phrase, "Please wait for me here," and then left the Breeding House with his three Pokémon.
Only Kawaki was left, looking at the information before him with a complex heart.
[Name: Steven Stone]
[Age: 10 years old]
[Gender: Male]
[Special Ability: Money Power]
[Status: Healthy]
[Mood: ❤️❤️❤️ Excited]
[Pleasure Value: 80]
[Affection: 50 (He believes you are a trustworthy partner)]
[Introduction: I'm number one, strong and amazing! — Steven]
Kawaki, who had accidentally used his Golden Finger to focus on Steven just now: "…"
Did he get the wrong system? Why could he even see human data…
What the heck is Money Power?!
And why did Steven's favorability directly skyrocket to 50?
This was too easy to win over, wasn't it?
Kawaki wasn't worried about giving the meteorite to Steven in advance, because as a transmigrator, he knew exactly what kind of person Steven was.
He was a hero who, even when facing the battle between Groudon and Kyogre, would selflessly stand at the forefront to protect the Hoenn region.
However, what surprised Kawaki was that his Golden Finger could even see human data.
So, humans are indeed a type of Pokémon, right?
Steven's special ability is Money Power. If it were Lance, would it become Dragon Master Power?
"I wonder if I'll have the chance to meet Lance in the future," Kawaki muttered.
Lance, Cynthia, Ash, Misty—he wanted to meet all of them.
*
To bring the Moon Stone back to Kawaki as quickly as possible, Steven did not linger on the way.
He mounted Skarmory and began to fly towards Mossdeep City.
After a day and a night of flying, they finally arrived safely in Mossdeep City.
Pushing open the door, Steven carefully placed the precious meteorite into his treasure vault.
Then, he turned and went to the place where the ites were stored.
Over the years, he had collected many ites.
And now, they could finally be put to good use.
After putting the Moon Stone into his backpack, Steven turned his gaze to the other side, where he kept the Stones he had treasured over the years.
Then, he stood up and took down a round Stone from above. It was crystal clear like a marble, but with orange patterns inside.
Steven was very much looking forward to becoming friends with Kawaki.
The Moon Stone was just for exchange, and this rare Stone would be a token of their friendship!
