"The price of Trapinch is $250,000. Will you be using a credit card?"
"Leading" Trapinch out of the compartment, Alex smiled at Lily.
"Swipe your card."
Lily handed her bank card to Alex without hesitation, then looked at the Trapinch on the ground with interest.
"The head is really big, and it has star eyes."
Lily blinked, observing Trapinch for a while and making an amused comment.
The basic color of its body is roughly orange, with short limbs, a round head that seems disproportionate to the body, a huge jaw, and white star-shaped eyes.
Although it looks very peculiar, it inexplicably gives off a cute vibe.
"Hello Trapinch, I'll be your Trainer from now on."
Lily squatted down slightly and greeted the very quiet Trapinch with a smile.
"Yi~"
Trapinch tilted its head slightly, staring at Lily, but still responded with a low sound.
"Looks pretty cool, right? By the way, let's check the Pokédex."
Lily felt that this Trapinch didn't seem particularly outgoing, but that was normal. If it was as lively as Emma's Squirtle, it would have too much energy.
Lily took out her Pokédex and aimed it at Trapinch.
"Drip~ Trapinch, Ground type, Ant Pit Pokémon
Ability: Arena Trap
Moves: Sand Attack, Laser Focus, Astonish, Mud Shot
Inhabiting dry deserts, its huge jaws can even crush large rocks, waiting for prey to fall into its trap."
The electronic voice of the Pokédex briefly introduced Trapinch.
"Sounds great."
Emma looked at Trapinch in astonishment. This introduction seemed to give it the highest praise except for the big guy Diancie.
Even large rocks can be easily crushed? So how strong is its bite?
"Haha~ As expected of my Pokémon!"
Lily rubbed Trapinch's round head happily, very satisfied with her Trapinch, which actually has four unique moves!
The happy Lily completely forgot that she wanted to replace Trapinch just a moment ago.
Ah, humans~
"That's why I said, Miss Lily, your luck is really good, and this Trapinch is quite capable, having already learned an egg move."
Alex returned the bank card to Lily, glancing at Trapinch.
Yes, Mud Shot is Trapinch's egg move, but here it's a little different from the game; even if it's an egg move passed down from parents, it needs to be understood by the Pokémon itself.
And this Trapinch is still young but has already learned Mud Shot, showing that its talent is very good, not to mention it has the Arena Trap Ability.
Arena Trap: Prevents opposing Pokémon from fleeing or switching out.
This is an Ability that can influence battles strategically, and there's no doubt that such abilities are extremely useful!
"Hee hee~ After all, I'm a natural beauty. I was named the school belle back in school."
Lily's delicate and beautiful face lit up with a brighter smile, exuding confidence.
Miss Lily is naturally beautiful; is it any wonder she's lucky? Hum~
"..."
Alex smiled awkwardly but politely.
Emma rolled her eyes, too lazy to comment, and Jason didn't even glance at the self-proclaimed beauty.
Although she's beautiful, her character can be a bit unbearable, too narcissistic.
"Boss, I'll be leaving for now. If I have more questions, I'll consult you again."
Jason said goodbye to Alex, having asked all the questions he needed. He had to go back and study how to give Vulpix special training.
He's going to turn his Vulpix into the world's mightiest male fox!
"Okay, take care." Alex smiled back.
"This is the ground-type energy cube that Trapinch likes to eat. Remember not to confuse it with Charmander's; they taste different."
Alex packed two boxes of Trapinch energy cubes and instructed Lily.
"Don't worry, boss, I'm very professional at raising pets." Lily patted her chest confidently.
"Does Miss Emma want to draw again?"
Alex glanced at Lily's chest, then quickly turned his eyes, thinking it wasn't that impressive.
Then Alex turned his attention to Emma, who was also quite affluent.
"I don't need to for now. I want to think about how to train the little turtle first."
Emma was tempted but hesitated and declined.
She's different from Lily, and her thoughts are a bit more meticulous. Instead of spreading her energy thin by training another Pokémon now, she thinks it's better to find the right way to train Squirtle first, then draw more Pokémon after gaining experience.
"Okay, please remember to introduce some customers to me when you go back."
Now that the customer has made a decision, there's no reason for the boss to be reluctant. But after a moment, Alex said to the two girls.
"Definitely! Boss, I think Pokémon will become very popular!"
Lily replied without hesitation, speaking seriously to Alex.
Pokémon, Lily has a hunch, these magical creatures will definitely take off!
This is both a hunch and an expectation because even though the contact time is short, she's already deeply in love with Pokémon.
Also fascinated by the competition of Pokémon battles.
Emma nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, I hope so too. By the way, I have something for you both."
Alex was stunned for a moment, then laughed and thanked them, but then remembered something and addressed the two girls.
"Wow, does the boss have more presents?" Emma and Lily watched Alex curiously as he trotted to the front desk.
"I actually wanted to give it to you earlier, but Jason left too quickly, so I'll have to wait for his next visit to give it to him."
Alex spread his hands to the two women, revealing four small white round spheres.
"What is this?" Lily tilted her head curiously. Are they glass beads?
"This is an essential item for Trainers; it's used to capture Pokémon and is also a place where Pokémon can rest in their free time."
Alex took out a white sphere in his right hand and pressed it lightly. In the surprised eyes of the two girls, the tiny sphere rapidly enlarged until it was just about the size of one hand.
"It's called a Premier Ball. It's a special souvenir Poké Ball. You are the first customers of this store, so this Premier Ball is a personal gift to you both."
Alex smiled.
That's right, it's a Poké Ball!
