BXBX NOVEL Chapter 170 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 170
Alex hung up after 5 minutes of talk with a pleasant smile on his face. He felt today, in particular, was a really good day.
After he stepped into an abandoned alley, he took Ditto out of the Pokéball and wore it as a mask.
Since he\'s already in Slateport City, he should not miss the chance to go to the black market to buy and sell all the Silver Pokémon.
Although there is a chance that someone will find that the sales figures rose sharply for a day, it will only be considered an unusual day. No one will think much about it.
If something little strange happens once, everyone will turn a blind eye. Only when it happens several times in a row will people start to question.
Since Alex was not gonna stay in this city and sell Pokémon for one day, he doesn\'t have to be extremely careful. But he still changed his clothes and face. Better safe than sorry.
He opened his TRH device and looked for the entrance of the black market in Slateport City.
...
3 hours later, Alex left the city with the money he had earned in the last 3 hours.
He found 16 Silver Pokémon in the whole of Black Market and sold them for 728,000 Pokédollars. Unfortunately, he can\'t do this too often in a city, or he would have been pretty rich by now.
Alex saw that he earned more than half a million within 3 hours and already had an idea of how he can make full use of this opportunity.
While he is staying in the Hoenn region, he will visit every big city and do the same thing he just did now. Alex didn\'t plan to stay long in Hoenn anyway, and this method highly profitable.
Currently, his balance is:
158,000 TR Points
760.010 Pokédollars (a little less due to daily expenses)
Alex didn\'t intend to stay long in Hoenn anyway, so he ought to make the best use out of this trip.
To be honest, Alex was still hoping to find a Gold Pokémon to make some real money. He has seen several thousands of Pokémon\'s info in Black markets and only found 2 Gold Pokémon.
Even with his cheat, finding Gold Pokémon is ridiculously rare and can be found only with luck.
Alex thought for a moment and started typing a message to Steven that he will be in Rustboro City in three days.
He planned to fly to every big city with the help of Crobat for three days to buy and sell Silver Pokémon.
With Crobat\'s speed, he can reach every moderately large city quickly and safely.
The Hoenn rookie tournament, in which Steven is participating, will only start in 49 days. So Alex can take a little time to do his own thing before meeting Steven.
Alex didn\'t think much longer and made a way with the help of a map, so he can reach all the big cities as quickly as possible.
17 Big cities are Alex\'s destination for 3 days, with Rustboro city being the last one. Although there are still small towns, not many Pokémon are sold on their black markets, so it is probably not worth it.
He was excited about what he would find and how much money he would make.
...
Three days later, in Rustboro City.
Alex, flying on Crobat, got on the ground as soon as Crobat landed with a faint grin on his face indicating how successful his plan had been.
These three days were pretty exhausting for Alex, who never had time to sleep for a long time. He also looked at more than 3000 Pokémon\'s info. This process was very tedious, but it reminded Alex of opening loot boxes a bit. Any Pokémon could be a big win, so Alex was never really bored.
He bought 256 Pokémon during this time and sold 255 of them.
The 255 Silver Pokémon Alex sold were traded for many different prices. And he made 14,025,000 Pokédollars in total at the end of these 3 days.
It\'s really a shame that he can\'t do that often to get rich quickly. Fortunately, Alex had already thought of a better way to get enough money quickly without any risks. Although this method needs a place where Alex can stay for longer. That\'s why he can\'t just use it yet.
He also found a Gold Pokémon, which he had not sold yet.

----------------------
Unfortunately, it was the worst Gold Pokémon that Alex had ever seen. Although there are no useless Pokémon, it is best to find Pokémon that requires less effort to make them strong.
Above all, the fact that his 3 Innate Talent moves are not particularly suitable for the Pokémon made it a bad Gold Pokémon. In addition, without further evolution, it is difficult to increase one\'s potential.
Alex can obviously make this Pokémon stronger. But he does not want to spend efforts on a mediocre Pokémon with whom he has no emotional attachment.
Ditto, for example, has a lot worse potential than these Pokémon. But because Alex has an emotional bond with Ditto, he is willing to spend more money on Ditto than it actually is worth. Apart from that, Ditto has many other advantages that other Pokémon don\'t.
Alex could also get a Bronze Pokémon to Gold with enough time and money, but why should he do that. It\'s completely inefficient, and he would only do that for Pokémon he likes.
He now has a much greater expectation from Pokémon that he will be including in his family.
Although this Gold Pokémon is not really strong, every Gold Pokémon has a market. He should also be able to get around 5 million for this Gold Pokémon.
Alex doesn\'t need money, but items that can improve the potential of his Pokémon.
Alex called Lisa to ask if she has any items that she wants to exchange for a Gold Pokémon. The last trade had been very successful and beneficial for Alex. He was also very satisfied with the item that Lisa offered him. So he spoke to her again.
Lisa, who heard how Alex has a Pokémon S-Talent again, was less enthusiastic compared to last time. As an executive, she found that getting Gold Pokémon is a lot less difficult than before. They now put more emphasis on the quality of the Gold Pokémon than before.
Alex, who heard her tone, understood that Lisa has been an executive for several months and has already enjoyed many advantages from this position. So her interest level is lower than the last time.
Even though Lisa didn\'t want this Pokémon for herself, she still wanted to buy it for one of her subordinates.
Although Alex is also a subordinate, she quickly noticed that she could not hold Alex. So she knew that he is her subordinate only for a short period.
Lars, who has good but not revealed potential, is a better subordinate for Lisa. Even if Alex got her reward from Giovanni, he wouldn\'t be her subordinate in the future.
"I recently found an item that I haven\'t used for. It\'s an item that is probably very valuable for your Ditto."
"Executive Lisa, can you please explain it to me in more detail."
"Ohh! Someone impatient, Fu Fu Fu~."
"..."
"Tsk! As I was saying, It\'s the [Heart] of a Champion level Ursaring with the talent of S-Rank. A very rare item with its value being around 5 million at least."
