Pokemon: Master of tactics

Chapter 135 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 135



Jack showed a professional smile as he said, "You really have lots of valuable items. Alex, wait for a second. I'll give you a list for what prices these items are normally bought here."

After saying that, he called a staff member who went out of the room and soon returned with a piece of paper with prices of items on it. ​​

When he gave the paper to Alex, Alex could see the following prices:

Low-Moon Stone: 9,500

Mid-Moon Stones: 48,000

High-Moon Stones: 350,000

Low-Water Stone: 6,800

High-Water Stones: 270,000

Pearls: 1,000-100,000 (depends on the size and quality)

Alex had already inquired about the prices of this store. So he knew that these prices were fair and the ones which are offered here every time.

"Of course, because you are my friend, I'll give you a VIP customer card with which you get 10% more. You can also use this card to order items online via our website for max 1 million Pokédollar price."

Alex, who heard this, gave a small smile. He understood that these prices were very generous. According to his calculations, Jack will only make about +5% after he sells the items. These prices can probably only be received by very few people, which makes Alex very happy.

4 months ago, he was a nobody who didn't even have enough money to become a trainer and was robbed by weak trainers.

The feeling of having yourself work for this position only makes the satisfaction even stronger.

Alex showed an emotionless expression. "Why is the price of the Pearls so imprecise?"

Jack, who was expecting this question, said, "I can't do anything about it. Some Pearls are many times more valuable than others. On average, a Pearl is worth around 6,000 to 7,000. Only good or perfect Pearls are worth more."

"Then, how is the quality of my Pearls?"

Alex, who didn't trust Jack 100%, wanted to see how Jack answered this question.

Jack started to look slowly at all of Alex's Pearls with a lens without saying anything. After looking at a Pearl, he gave each Pearl a number between 1 and 10 on the piece of paper.

Even if he only needed an average of 5 seconds per Pearl, it took him more than 10 minutes to finish checking all Pearls.

Jack, looking at his piece of paper, said, "Ok, I'm done checking the Pearls. And I gotta say that you've found a good batch of Pearls. Lots of 8, 9, and even a few 10s."

Alex heard this thought for a few seconds. He felt that Jack most likely wasn't completely lying to him and was probably just hiding a bit to have some profit.

"What price can you offer me for these Pearls?"

Jack gave a small smile as he said, "I'm going to give you a friendship award of 2,250,000 for all of these Pearls. Believe me when I tell you that this is one of the best prices you can find."

"Jack, do you mind if I do a little test? You know, one of my Pokémon is very good at reading people's emotions."

Jack, who thought for a moment, said, "Ohh, right! You have a Kirlia, a Psychic-type Pokémon. Really a handy Pokémon to catch lies."

Then he smiled and said with confidence, "I don't mind if it makes you trust me."

Gardevoir that has The ability to read emotions makes it a good Pokemon to reveal lies. Although Gardevoir is not a 100% lie detector, it is very often able to detect lies.

Alex saw the confidence of Jack and knew that there is no point in doing it.

"Haha, just kidding. As your friend, I would never distrust your words, Jack."

Hearing Alex's words, Jack felt that Alex would be a good businessman if he wasn't already such a talented Pokémon trainer.

Alex said with a 'friendly' smile, "What price will you give me for all the items?"

Jack started pulling out a calculator and slowly calculated the value of Alex's items.

After a few seconds, he said, "3,161,600 for all Stones. Together with Pearls, that makes 5,411,600. And because you have a VIP customer card, you get 10% more."

"That's precisely 5,952,760 Pokédollars."

Alex heard that he had earned almost 6 million Pokédollars and grinned inside his mind.

Although Alex was sure that he could get more in this deal more, he didn't want to worsen his relationship with Jack for a couple thousands of Pokedollar.

Greed is a deadly poison if you can't control it.

Alex smiled and shook hands with Jack. He felt like he was really ridiculously rich now. Now he was feeling great anticipation for the items at the auction.

...

As soon as Alex entered the hotel room, he opened all the Pokéballls and gave each of his Pokémon food.

Eevee, who had finished her meal, looked in the direction of Ditto. "Hey, Ditto. Do you want to play a round of chess with me?"

Ditto instantly felt an indescribable sadness. "Why can't I win once? Wait a minute... Perhaps she was just lucky the first time? Yes, it was definitely just luck. I heard that beginners always have good luck. This time I will definitely win."

Eevee, who saw Ditto's sudden boost of self-confidence, couldn't help but show a confused expression. She felt Ditto's immensely fluctuating emotions when she asked him to play.

Ditto, who saw Eevee just looking at him and not going to the chessboard, became even more confident when he said, "What, are you afraid of losing?"

Eevee, who would usually show a more aggressive expression when someone said those words to her, only showed an expression of sympathy.

After only 5 minutes, Ditto finally understood why Eevee had this expression.

He lost even faster this time. Eevee seemed to have gotten better than last time.
