Chapter 12 - Pewter Gym Battle ( Part 1)

Next morning he reached the Pewter city. It was the first Major city he entered after Cerulean city. Each Main city gym is run by the most powerful of all gym leaders in Kanto. It can be said that all the gym leaders are at least Elite- like level in the region. They are all powerful.

After reaching the city he was confused for route and moved round in a circle for an hour. Later asked a bystander about the Pokemon center. He after reaching deposited the Pokemon for quick check then headed for a good bath. After that head to take the Pokemon. He asked nurse joy where he could buy Pokemon appliances.

After getting the direction he reached a three floored building of Pokemon Mart. Entering he saw the floor labels as:

Ground floor - Reception

First floor - Pokemon medicine and pokeball

Second Floor - Pokemon power ups

Third floor - TMs

Of course now he could not afford Move TMs so he just ignored them. Now the TMs are very costly the cheapest cost as much as 50000 pokecoins. He has here to buy some pokeballs potions antidotes as well as selling honeys.

After going to first floor he asked the counter for pokeball, potion and antidotes amounting about

200* 20=4000

100*10=1000

total amount to 8000 pokecoins. This almost drained half his funds and he believed it will be drained much sooner for he was raising a glutton by the name of Swinub.

Then asked ," where can I sell some objects."

Seeing him buy so much and pokeball after confirmed his status of trainer he was an experienced shopkeeper and knew some trainer sold the things they found in the wilderness for money every now and then. so he said kindly," please come this way to the appraiser. He will mark your price. "

Now every big department store has an appraiser. They serve to identify and price the goods. Formal appraiser training last for about five years and it too had different grades. Normally appraiser is primary level in big town and so they are quite rich too.

After entering the room, he saw a middle-aged guy in red shirt and black pants with his appraiser certificate hung on the wall. The appraiser after seeing him come raised an eyebrow and the asked, " Show me what you wanna price?"

Alex pulled a half litre bottle of Honey and gave him. After taking the honey smelling and tasting it he said," Hmmmm Medium grade honey can be sold for 4000 coins per litre." to the employee there.

After hearing this, the employee eye shone then he respectfully said, " Sir please come with me if you want to sell."

After coming out, then he went to the table and said," At what price would you buy"

" After appraisal I think 2000 is descent"

" Don't you think you just cut it down. Think about it I had got it from a Beedrill colony. you do know how deadly they can be. or do you think you could do it."

Hearing that he paled thinking about them. " "Ok 2500 "

they then bargaining the final price came out as 3250 coins.

Alex told about 15 litre of honey amounting to

48750 coins.

He now had to sell Beedrill and he could earn enough to last a month even with swinub's appetite.

After coming out of the store, he roamed the city so that he could find clues about the black market in Pewter city. The only town where black market can't be found is Pallet town and the league headquarters.

After finding the entrance to the market, he entered a hiding then disguised himself and entered the black market. And reason except for selling Pokemon was to get information about trouble he found about in the Pokemon center in the route between Pewter and Viridian city.

After coming to place for selling booth he negotiated and the price was

1 * 28000 = 28000

total amount to 253000.

Now he nearly 300000 pokecoins.

And then went to information exchange. Fter there he found someone who sold the information at 50000 that there were shadow now catching rookie trainers and taking them somewhere. No one know where though.

After knowing this he was even more vigilant and also was thinking about what that stranger has said and wished him luck meaning he knew something about this. This once also his interest towards the stranger.

After headed to the gym he registered for a Pokemon battle. When registration one had to display their highest annoted gym badge ( either 1,2 or 3- star ) badge one had. He registered the 2- star gym badge and then found that he got an opening at 2 pm in the afternoon tomorrow.

During this time he roamed around the city and enjoying different delicacies found in pewter. He ate a lot . He was also a gourmet in his past life which he inherited even in this life. Heck he even likes to experiment about different foods. Even if he ate 10 people food he won't be fat due to high intensity training he did along with his pokemon.

Then he went to the Pokemon center after feeding his Pokemon and telling them about tomorrow gym challenge he told them that tomorrow Swinub, Pidgeotto and either Butterfree or Charmander relevant to situation will be the if it is 3 on 3.

After waking he did some warm up exercise with them and fed Swinub a hundred year old ice he bought during his expedition in the black market. He bought four such i and paid 200000 coins for Swinub. This will help strengthen ice power if Swinub though not effective as thousands year old ice but still enough. If he could get that ice then his Swinub will be even more powerful. Thinking about it he drooled.

Now our hero will have his next gym battle and let's see who the next gym leader will be.
