The lecture took almost 4 hours. Axel wanted to learn more, but elder Adam was busy with other work. He was told that elder Adam will meet him again tomorrow at the same time to continue the lecture. So he had free time today!. He didn't want to train his Pokemons today. He knew he had to start doing it for 3 months straight, so he decided to take a break and explore the new place. Though he may not be very rich but he still had 1.3 Million Pokedollars with him and he wanted to spend some of it.
He was searching for items or resources that could improve his Pokemons. He mainly wanted to buy food recipes for Charmander line and Weedle line. Those were the only 2 left without a recipe. He had looked for Charmander's recipe before and it cost around 1 Million Pokedollars. Last time he didn't buy it cause, he thought he would need the money for other things. But now, 3 months of his time has been decided. While living inside the Venu family, he would only have care about his food and his Pokemon's food. Almost everything was free. So he thought to buy it today.
He even thought that the price would be lower here. 'Since, Charmander line is from Zard family, and Venu family hates Zard family, the price may be lower of Charmander's recipe cause the Venu family hates them and wants to ridicule them' he thought. Thinking about it he was in a very good mood.
There were many places that sold such items here. But he was interested in one particular shop. It was 2 storied building and its name was 'The Chamber of….'
'The chamber of what? The chamber of secrets? What a weird naming sense. Well, let's see what it has' thinking about that, he entered. But what Axel didn't know was that he had been one of the many victims of the shop's name. One of the prime reasons people visited the shop was cause of its name. They wanted to know what was the Chamber of?
There were no distinguishing features of interiors in the room. It was like any general shop. But aside from the interiors, everything about it was different. The customer could sit on one of the many chairs with a table next to it. Axel was given a personal attendant and a device what looked like an ipad. In the ipad look-alike thing, there were many items listed with their price. There were almost all of the items that he could think of. From Pokeballs, evolution stones to antidotes including many rare items. General items cost money but rare item cost points ?
”Excuse me, what are these points and how do we get them?” asked Axel. ”Oh hello dear customer, my name is Ken and I will be in your service. Points are something you could earn here by doing various things. From cleaning the floor to doing important mission, battling and participating in competitions. Of course, if you don't have point you can exchange it for money but I suggest you not do it.”
”Ohh. Why is that?” ”cause the ratio is truly pitiful. It takes a lot of money just to gather 1 point.”
”What is the ratio then?” asked Axel. ”The ratio depends on the item you are purchasing. The more valuable the item, the more costly it is”
Getting that brief explanation, Axel started to browse and he was shocked. There were lots of valuable items here. Like, Life orb, Assault Vest, miracle seed, Dragonair Egg, Larvitar Egg and freaking leftovers. But the price was in points so he didn't think about it cause he knew he could not buy it now.
So he started looking for the recipe and it shocked him.
1. Charmander line Food recipe: 1.5 Million Pokedollars
2. Weedle line Food recipe: 1.6 Million Pokedollars
”What the f.u.c.k!!! Why are the prices here so high? Normally Charmander line cost around only 1 million Pokedollars. And 1.6 Million for Weedle recipe. Are you f.u.c.k.i.n.g kidding me?” roared Axel.
Weedle is a bug-type Pokemon so all of the things related to it are very cheap. But the price of Weedle line was more than Charmander. He could not believe it.
But ken said pacifying his customer ”It is cause of the quality of the product, customer. This Charmander line recipe was stolen from Zard family. They have done extensive research on this recipe, hence the price. Looking at its quality, it is actually cheap. As for the Weedle recipe, the price of it is high cause this recipe is made by Venu family itself. Hundreds of years of substantial research have been done on it. Food recipe from Venu family mainly focuses on grass and poison type. Since Weedle is also a poison type, its price is a bit high”
Hearing about this, Axel calmed down a bit. If what this Ken guy said was true then, he might have hit a jackpot. The cost may be on a larger scale but the benefits, in the long run, are very high. It is a one-time investment, cause Weedle line or Charmander line also has their evolution's recipe in it. He was actually thinking to buy another Nidoran's recipe from here too, cause it was also a poison type.
But now he didn't have the money to buy any of those. ”Then I guess I have to come again. I don't have enough money” said Axel.
”How much do you have right now, customer?” asked Ken
