Elf Trader: My trump card is the Light/Dark Mantis.

Lijia's face was full of smiles and joy.

However, Jiang Gu inwardly complained slightly.

"Beautiful...is she captivating...?"

As a time traveler, he naturally knew the personality of the Yuhong City Dojo Master.

Although Rika claims to only like beautiful grass-type spirits.

But in the world of Pokémon, there are no positive characters who would dislike a Pokémon because of its appearance...

Therefore, this Celadon City Gym Leader almost universally believes that all Grass-type Pokémon have their own unique charm.

They were all exceptionally beautiful.

"Even though the two little sprouts and the cactus are both adorable, perhaps... they should be described as cute?"

Jiang Gu secretly grumbled to himself.

He didn't pay much attention to Rika's opinion.

Since the Gym Leader of Rainbow City has already expressed his admiration for the two Pokémon from the world of Seer that he has collected...

Then things are simple.

Jiang Gu said it directly.

"Miss Nalijia, are you interested in purchasing them?"

"Of course, Manager Jiang, please name your price."

Lijia had a very bold and generous air about her.

As a gym leader, she has considerable assets, and in Rika's opinion, acquiring these two Pokémon would be no problem for her.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Gu also revealed a kind expression.

Chapter 4: 1600 million for a single elf?

Jiang Gu had a magnanimous demeanor.

"Why bother?"

"To be honest, I do business not to make money."

"The main goal is simply to give these elves a good home."

“Miss Rika and I hit it off immediately, and since you love Grass-type Pokémon so much, I’m sure Little Sprout and Cactus will be well taken care of in your hands.”

"Since that's the case, I won't ask you for any more..."

The manager of this shady shop asked someone to clear their throat.

"The price of the little bean sprout is 16 million Alliance Coins."

"As for cacti, let's be friends, it'll be cheaper, ten million will do!"

"okay."

"and many more?"

"how much is it?"

Lijia, who had been somewhat dazed, instantly became alert.

"These two Grass-type Pokémon cost tens of millions???"

"Are you... are you kidding me?"

She's not short of money, but she's not brainless!

No wonder Rika looked stunned and surprised; the price Jiang Gu offered was simply outrageous!

The initial form of a Pokémon isn't worth that much!

Selling it at such a high price is completely unreasonable!

Keep in mind that even the starter Pokémon, which are highly regarded by novice trainers in the League, only cost around a million.

The best quality starter Pokémon, including Charmander and Treecko, which possess Mega Evolution potential and the Hidden Ability, can barely reach a price of tens of millions...

Moreover, even if a cactus truly possesses exceptional potential and becomes incredibly powerful after cultivation...

Sixteen million for a single bean sprout is just too much!

At this price point, unless it's a rare Dragon-type or a baby pseudo-legendary Pokémon, no other Pokémon, no matter how good its stats, is worth it!

"Manager Jiang, if I may be so bold, your elf is a bit too expensive..."

Rika questioned, if it weren't for Jiang Gu's previous performance, the fact that he possessed an undiscovered Pokémon, and the information about a brand new Pokémon type, his background might be quite impressive.

Her tone wouldn't be so tactful.

Rika could tell that Jiang Gu's previous behavior indicated that he recognized her.

Therefore, Jiang Gu probably knew about her love for Grass-type Pokémon and her considerable wealth, which is why he offered her the exorbitant price earlier.

What's happening right now is clearly ripping people off!

The dojo master of Yuhong City was already quite angry.

No one would be happy to be taken advantage of.

Jiang Gu's response to this was straightforward.

“Miss Lika, the elf I’m selling you isn’t just pretty.”

"Take the cactus for example. Its final evolution, the giant cactus, can have a base stat total of 525, the same as Venusaur, one of the starter Pokémon from Kanto."

"Moreover, the Giant Cactus can control Poison Powder, Sleep Powder, and Paralysis Powder, and it also has control over its own Solar Beam, so its Special Attack output is not low."

"Moreover, although the speed of the cactus is not particularly fast, it has the property of chlorophyll, and its speed doubles under sunny conditions."

"With it, your Grass-type team's tactical setup will be very useful."

Jiang Gu spoke eloquently.

In the real world of Pokémon, individual values ​​are no longer capped at 31 points, unlike in the game.

There exist Pokémon with exceptionally high potential, even comparable to legendary Pokémon.

Only when individual values ​​are high enough will the Pokémon ultimately be powerful...

Simply put, things like Delibird soloing Lugia are not just a dream.

However, his research on racial stats was similar to the knowledge he gained from games and anime in his previous life.

As for the characteristics of chlorophyll that Jiang Gu mentioned, it was a surprising and amazing development that even the manager of this shady shop himself found unexpected.

The elves from the original Seer universe, who originally lacked special characteristics, seemed to be blessed by some kind of world consciousness after arriving in this world.

It was recognized as a type of Pokémon and gained abilities called Abilities.

Although the "characteristics" in the Seer universe do exist, those "characteristics" are more like enhancement plug-ins than the unique traits of Pokémon that belong to different species.

Therefore, Jiang Gu speculated that most of the Pokémon in the Seer universe would have an advantage after entering the Pokémon world: they would have benefited from the special characteristics bestowed upon them by the world's consciousness...

You can also use chips to incorporate features from the Seer universe!

Therefore, the fact is that, with the help of chlorophyll, the final evolution of the cactus is indeed considered a relatively powerful Grass-type Pokémon in the Pokémon world.

No, Jiang Gu is exaggerating. In fact, he's underestimating the potential of this Pokémon!

After all, as long as Rika is willing to keep spending money on this shady shop owner, the strength of the Cactus will probably be able to easily crush Venusaur with the same base stats!

"As for the bean sprouts..."

"It also has a special function, and 1600 million is definitely not expensive."

The special function that Jiang Gu mentioned refers to the small bean sprouts, which can be used as a material for fusing with essence elements.

However, he has no intention of revealing this yet, since the practice of fusing two Pokémon into one in the Pokémon world is something that these trainers may not be able to understand.

But the value of bean sprouts is indeed higher than that of cacti.

Jianggu is not prepared to lower the price because its function may not be fully realized.

However, although Rika usually has a absent-minded expression, she is quite clear-headed when it comes to elves.

"But even if it's comparable to the breeding value of the starter breeds, a price of tens of millions is still a bit too high."

"A Bulbasaur of similar quality to a cactus can be bought for around two million, and you can get one with decent stats."

"What's more, this little bean sprout of yours, worth 1600 million yuan, hasn't even told me about its specific advantages!"

The dojo master from Yuhong City said, his tone clearly showing some dissatisfaction.

She still felt that the shady shop owner was trying to rip her off.

However, Jiang Gu smiled slightly.

“Miss Lijia, I admit that what you said makes a lot of sense.”

"But you may have overlooked one thing. That is, I am the only one in the whole world who possesses these elves."

"If you don't buy it from me..."

"I guarantee that even if you search the entire elf world, you won't find these two elves of the same species."
