48 Black market Adventure part 1 (2/2)
Adding to his previous balance he had about 33 million in total ( including the cash reward for shadows base operation).
After that he went to the washroom and once again changed his clothes. Who knows how many people know he had this much money.
The only one who might come after him will be ordinary shortime grunts. Although not afraid he didn't want to find himself unnecessary problem.
Now he wore a clown mask and just changed the shoes and cloak he wore.
After that he wandered around the market to see if he could anything worthwhile or a Milktank.
He saw variety of Pokemons chained or caged ready to be sold. They were mostly ordinary Pokemons easy to catch or some strong but we're malnourished.
Yet many were there to buy them. They were the type who believes number is strength.
There are some Pokemons which caught his attention such as Aron, skorupi , magby , etc. If raised well could be a core Pokemon of the team but he left because he didn't know how the recipe will be priced.
After some windowshoppinghe came to a stall. The owner was a rocket and probably a higher ranked if his presence was taken notice of.
There were some old texts. three of them attracted his attention. He talked,” how much are the old books?”
” 5 million”
” What ? why don't you just rob me? They are hardly any value with how faded some pages are. How can they be worth do much. Since there are a dozen so I will pay 5000 each”
This affected the seller. He didn't know what they were but since they were old he thought it was precious. But there are high chance it may be worthless. This was nothing new.
Many times some old items are sky high precious but most are just garbage. The words of Alex brought out this fear in him.
” How about I will add some other things along with it. A baltoy. You don't know how precious they are. They are the cursed toy which are very rare. They are found in the Hoenn region. they are...” He tried to boast about Baltoy but Alex stopped him,
” I know about them . They are ground and psychic type and they aren't that rare. They will only be slightly expensive . At most 40000 in Kanto. It only amounts 1 million. That's how much I will pay. Will you sell them or not?” He said with a hint of finality.
He added some other pokemon props such as
soothing bell, blackglasses and a few old items.
He now priced them as 4million.
Now the only use of soothing bell circulating around isit helps calm down the Pokemon. The other use of increasing friendliness for evolution is not prominent now.
After final negotiations the deal was done in 2.5 million.
After paying and taking his property he left. Both of them happy at fooling the other and earning profits.
This is the case of lack of knowledge and information. If he knew about soothing bells other property, it's price would have soared . It helps evolve riolu, Togepi, Golbat etc. And it can be used in repetition.
This will make it as expensive as 50 to even 100 million.
The one that caught his attention in that antique stall was a book with a Gengar pics and the attraction it brought to haunter in the shadow.
He was very excited about it. He felt there might be a connection between them so he bought it. There are some books on different pokemon types too among them.
It can be left for later, now he had to find a milktank. Not finding anything worthwhile he left the roadside stall area and headed for shops.
Seeing him spend 2.5 million in a go, it attracted the attention of some unsavory people who tailed him.
Will he find a suitable recipe and a Milktank. What will happen to Alex now?
