Chapter 1294: Night Stroll at the Shrine, Harvest Festival_3

Lono, sitting on the sofa, watched the scene with a grin: “Great work!”

“Luckily, there aren’t any Pokemon with the Gluttony Ability in our house,” Naoki couldn’t help but say.

Having finally fed the crowd of Pokémon at home, Naoki finally had time to start preparing the ice sugar gourd to sell that night.

At five in the afternoon, after dinner, Naoki set off with his thoughts on the ice sugar gourd to the night market beneath the Abundant Shrine.

The strongest, Koraidon, carried two boxes; Alcremie sat on Naoki’s shoulder. Pawmo held a bag filled with some water and simple foods for their stall later.

Ogerpon and Gholdengo followed behind, happily chirping away, clearly filled with anticipation for the forthcoming festival.

When the group arrived at their destination, the surrounding vendors had long since arrived. They greeted each other while setting up their stalls.

Seeing Naoki arrive, a few acquaintances greeted him with cheerful smiles.

“Good evening, Naoki!”

“Mr. Chris, hello to you too!”

Naoki took out the ice sugar gourd from the box and attached them to the specially made molds, placing them on the stall. Soon, rows of bright red ice sugar gourd stood on the stall, looking utterly enticing under the warm orange lights.

“Your child is due soon, right?” A neighboring vendor smiled while congratulating him: “Congrats! You’re about to be a father soon!”

“Yes, still four months to go.” Naoki nodded.

He glanced around and saw many stalls.

There was an uncle selling Magikarp in transparent fish tanks, someone selling wooden carvings of Calyrex, someone selling Pokemon masks, and others offering takoyaki and various knick-knacks like handmade Poke Balls.

In short, there was everything. The night market stretched out in a long line, looking bustling beyond measure.

Looking at this scene, Naoki couldn’t help but reflect: “When I first moved to Porto Marinada Town four years ago, it wasn’t this lively, the change is immense now!”

A town influenced by the Calyrex culture, a commercially developed seaside town, abundant in products and resources, attracted people from all over the world to settle in Porto Marinada Town.

In the last two years, new high-rises have started to emerge in the town, and Naoki felt that in no time, Porto Marinada Town would evolve into Porto Marinada City.

“That’s wonderful! Levincia City used to be like this too,” said Lono. “Later on, they built a port there, and gradually, the city prospered and became what it is today. Perhaps, in the future, Porto Marinada Town will also build a port leading to other regions! It’ll be much more convenient to travel to other places by then!”

Naoki was filled with emotion inside and then gently nodded, “Indeed! The pace of development is just too rapid!”

In the distance, tourists from outside visiting the Abundant festival and traveling Trainers with their Pokemon began to arrive.

The young boys and girls were always full of life and vitality, and some Trainers were soon drawn to the stall by Ogerpon, acting as the mascot, and the golden Gholdengo.

“Poni~” Ogerpon let out a joyful growl and then began recommending the stall’s items to the two guests.

The teenage Trainer realized it wasn’t polite to just stare at someone’s Pokemon without buying anything, so he quickly asked, “How much for these ice sugar gourd?!”

“300 League Coins per skewer!” Naoki replied.

300 League Coins? So cheap!

The Eevee on the Trainer’s shoulder was already starting to drool; it wanted to eat!

“I’ll take three!” the young Trainer said.

“Sure thing!” Lono took the money, and Naoki handed over the three skewers of ice sugar gourd, neatly packaged.

Each Berry costs 20 League Coins, and a bag of boiled syrup candy costs 500 League Coins. After deducting the costs, the price of a skewer of ice sugar gourd makes over two hundred League Coins in net profit.

Practically a windfall! Even Naoki thought setting the price at 300 League Coins might be a bit steep, as he initially considered setting it at 200, yet this person found it cheap…

“Looks like we’re in for a big profit today!” Lono was quite excited.

Just then, a sudden shout came from the crowd.

Naoki turned his head and saw rows of flames gradually lighting up along the mountain path leading to the Abundant Shrine.

This signified that the festival celebrating the harvest and the Abundant Festival honoring Calyrex had officially begun!
