49 Black Market Adventure Part 2 (1/2)

He now went back to the auction site of the black market. Since he couldn't find the things here then there he might. have a higher chance.

At the antique stall there were few old things with marks and symbols on them. Most would be useless but for a psychic and ghost type to distinguish between waste and working objects.

According to Haunter two of the old objects a spoon and an old urn were shrouded with some unusual energy.

Alex first thought of giving both to Agatha who was still stationed at Viridian city but thought since he had two why not sell one and earn money.

These old powerful energy containers are on heavy demand in the world. Many forces want to own one such items. Had it not been for Alex's own weak strength he too would want one.

These objects contain powerful pokemons sealed within them. There was once an incident in Kanto near Saffron city.

In a ruin nearby, they found a mysterious mirror, in an accident it had cracks. From it an enormous Gengar emerged.

He destroyed everything around a radius of 10 km from that ruin. Later when Agatha came she subdued it.

These are similar to nuclear weapons. A weapon of mass destruction. If sold out in the. daylight you will spend decades in prison but in the black market they can be sold easily.

One would only think they are selling old antiques and even if know they sell it, they won't bother because of the network of connection the black market had established.

So unless they try to undermine or subvert the rule of the league the league mostly keep an eye close on these matters.

After entering the auction house , there were many people crowded around. Some to enter it, some to appraise their objects others to see some fat meat to cheat, etc.

First thing Alex did was inquiring about high end appraiser. The appraiser are one of the high class jobs who get both fees for appraising but as well as a cut from the auctioned objects. And let's not forget the incentive given by the seller.

But they are also a dangerous job. If they cheat or offend someone in the job, in the future they are mostly found in some corner of the forest with small Pokemons feeding on him.

For the sake of safety of inquiry the inquiry booth is completely surrounded by a thin film. Other than the shadow of the inquiry person nothing could be seen.

At the inquiry he asked,” Can you tell me wherethe the appraiser is?”

A soft feminine voice came,” What type of appraiser do you need to meet?”

” What are the fee for their services?”

” Sir, a low appraiser's fees is 80000

a medium appraiser is 1500000

and

the high appraiser is 20 million ”. She answered him.

Hearing three fee rates shocked the shell out of Alex. To think he would have to pay so much for just a simple identification and meeting the higher one will drain his account by 70% , this scared him and he wanted to leave but the thoughts of better raising his pokemons he stopped.

His grandpa often said trainer is a very costly occupation. You burn more than you earn. This is why league too opened so many faculties around the world.

This is so they could help trainers a little bit. He then inquired about the high end one.

She then pointed her to the door. Because of the sky high price there were almost no one except for the accountant at the door.

Seeing him appear in front of him, the accountant asked,” Are you paying by card or cash?”

” He handed him his pokecard then the accountant let him enter.

There in the dark room was an old man in his 60. Most of the high end appraiser are very old and younger ones are mostly lower.

The old man asked grumpily,” What things do you need me to evaluate”

He handed him an old rock he found once in the forest. There was a mysterious energy on it, though not sure what it was it could help him.
