Pokemon: Master of tactics

Alex looked at Maria and said, "This is way too valuable."

Maria looked at Alex and said with a small smile "If I sell it I can only get the price for an S-rank Deino that is about as expensive as your present."

Alex remembers how a Shallow Gold Dratini was sold for 100 million at the auction and showed a confused expression for a second.

But when he thought about it, he understood why this Deino, which is very likely to have a gold or even a deep gold potential, is never worth half as much.

For all trainers, the Deino and the Dratini are both Born S-rank Pokemon in the 1 stage and therefore have no difference in terms of potential in the market value.

But because Deino is the most unpopular Dragon-Type Species, it cannot be compared in value to Dratini and a price of 30 or 40 million is a good deal for an S-Rank Deino.

Maria didn't know how good the potential of Deino is, but because the two parents of this Pokemon are both of the Hydreigon Species, she believed that there was a good chance that this Deino could reach the SS-rank with tolerable investment.

But, She would rather use the money for her Gible which would reach its final form faster and she still needed money to get her Arbok up to the SS-rank which is not cheap. But, Maria didn't want to sell this special Pokemon for this ridiculously low market price so that in the end she decided to give it to Alex.

She had the feeling that Alex who has already two SS-rank pokemon (he has three but she only knows about two) could use the potential of this Pokemon better than she could.

Alex understood Maria's reason, but even if that is her reason for her action, it shows an incredible trust to give Alex such a valuable Pokemon.

It costs about as much as a "Dragon Fang" but Alex and Maira knew that it was not comparable and that Maria's gift was worth many times more than the "Dragon Fang"

Alex looked happy when he felt Maria's trust.

"Why are you so cute today?"

Maria just looked at Alex with a disgusting expression and said coldly "Don't talk so disgustingly."

"Haha," Alex laughed and gave Maria a kiss who showed an expression of disgust.

He was really happy and thought about what he can give Maria to compensate her for this gift.

His "Dragon Fang" was a good start but he felt it was not enough. He thought of Arbok who had the same Born potential as Bastiodon and suddenly knew what to give Maria as a present.

Alex looked at Maria and said "I still have an appointment so I have to go now. I'll see you tonight."

Maria rolled her eyes and said "yes of course. Make sense. You came here for 5 minutes and now you have to go to an appointment. I don't see any problem with this logic"

"haha ok, you have me. But I won't let you stop me from buying you a present today."

Maria said nothing for a few seconds. Then she said lightly "Buy me something expensive."

This time Alex started to roll his eyes when he says "Is that reverse psychology? Do you think I don't understand what you're trying to do"

Without saying another word, he left the room.

Maria just looked at Alex's back and gave a gentle smile.

...

Alex, who is teleported to Celadon City, went to his favorite place to buy Pokemon items.

Even if it is a bit more expensive than in the Team Rocket shop, the stock is much larger and you don't have to wait long for someone to sell an item that you need.

With enough money, you can often buy very rare items.

Alex, who entered the building, saw a luxurious reception room with two beautiful women standing there. Together with the professional smile and the stylish suit, this reception room created a good atmosphere.

One of the women recognized him and gave a particularly warm smile.

"Good afternoon Mr. Stark, what can I do for you today ?."

Alex ignored her slightly flirtatious smile and said "I want to talk to Jack."

The beautiful woman showed a slightly disappointing expression and called Jack immediately.

After the call she said with a smile "Mr. Stark, the manager is waiting for you in his office. Would you like me to take you there?"

Alex said in an indifferent tone "No is ok. I already know the way."

He passed several bodyguards and corridors. before he stood in front of Jack's office.

With his member card, which he showed to the bodyguards, he was able to go through all areas that customers can enter without any problem and reached the door in front of Jack's office.

In front of the door, there was also a bodyguard with a pokemon but he recognized Alex and already knew from Jack that Alex would come soon so he hadn't stopped him.

Bodyguard's Pokemon was a Level 52 Primeape with Deep Silver potential which of all Bodyguard's Pokemon he had seen was the highest level Pokemon.

He walked into Jack's office and saw Jack greet him with a smile.

"Alex, my favorite customer. What can I do for you today."

"I need high-quality poison-type items."

"Ohh you're so straightforward, but that's what I like about you. Wait for a second, I'll give you a list of all Poison Type items that meet your criteria."

Alex gave a small smile when he heard Jack's words.

"sound good"

He and Jack have already done a lot of successful business and both profited greatly from one another.

Alex looked at the items on the printed sheet of paper and chose those that were best in his opinion.

--------------

1.8 million: Mid-Elite Venomoth corpse with S-rank potential.

2.5 million: Late-Elite Muk corpse with S-rank potential.

3 million: Late-Elite Venusaur corpse with S-rank potential.

7.5 million: Champion-level Tentacruel corpse with S-rank potential.

8.5 million: 3 Scales reinforced by an SS-rank Arbok on the Champion level with Poison-type Energy.

27.5 million: Champion-level Nidoking corpse with SS-rank potential.

------------

It's a shame that his MVP card only gives 10% on the sale of items or he could save several million in this purchase.

In the end, Alex paid 50.8 million Pokedollars for the items and only had 25,490,350 poke dollars left.

But he didn't show any unhappy expression that he had spent so much money.

He is sure that Maria would be very enthusiastic if he gave her these Items for her Arbok and her Arbok thereby reached the SS rank.

Alex had already considered a way so that Maria only use these Items for her Arbok and not waste them on her other Pokemon.

Maria already knew that the Born Potential of a pokemon is very important and that only Gible and Arbok were born with an S-rank potential so it is not difficult for Alex to convince Maria that only Gible and Arbok can reach SS-rank.

He already believed that Maria would make the right decision even without his stepping into it, but he just wanted to be on the safe side.
