A New Member? (41)
'Damn, a dragon tooth huh.' I thought to myself. A dragon tooth is a man made item which is an enhanced dragon fang which is created by an unknown method. These things are still a new item which were introduced and made by Lance the Champion.
When this is used on a dragon type Pokemon, instead of increasing its attack. It improves a Pokemons as if it were in a body reconstruction state in a cultivation setting.
The said Pokemon absorbs the tooth making it a one use item.
It's not as extreme as one may think, but anyone can see the difference quite clearly if you see a before and after picture.
The advantages are pretty obvious as the Pokémon's size, potential, attack potency and overall constitution is improved.
"The starting bid will be 20 million!" The woman announces. With this some of the more "rich" people started to bid for the item. As expected though only a handful of people actually bid for the item, it's not like everyone prefers dragon type Pokemon.
The bid went on for a little until VIP from room two won the Dragon tooth for 92 million.
I would have bid for the item but I don't actually have that much liquid to just spend.
"Now we are up to the Pokemon section of this auction!" The woman shouts. Right after this, a glass container with wheels was being escorted by two men to the centre of the stage.
Looking at the container, you could see a bat like Pokemon looking into the crowd with a curious look.
"The first Pokemon is a male Noibat with an average height! Of course it's no normal Noibat though. This specific Pokemon has naturally been born with the talent of using [Dragon Rush] and [Flamethrower]." I hear her announce.
'Damn I could use a Noibat.' I thought to myself. The starting bid ended up being 1 million.
"I'll bid three million!"
"Four and a half million!"
"Five million!"
People started to bid little by little, they were very enthusiastic about this Noibat. I also wouldn't mind getting one so I'll bid too. After a few more bids, I bid on the guy myself.
Typing a number onto the screen, i announces my bid.
"Eight million by VIP seven!" A voice could be heard around the stadium. The other bidders were not shying away though, and immediately recovered.
"11 million!"
"23 million from VIP room four!"
"37 million!"
The number kept rising until the bid amounted to 44 million which at that point is not worth buying. That Noibat is amazing I can tell and I could probably overpay for it, but I don't want to overpay.
I like spending money but not when I could buy the same Pokemon for half the price. It's obvious I can't find another Noibat in a similar move set easily, but it's definitely not worth it. These guys are just big spenders and not fully knowledgable about Pokemon.
Like typing, rarity and moves.
Typings like dragon can trick people on how valuable a Pokemon actually is. It's kind of like buying an expensive item from a well known brand like a bag when the same quality item or higher is being sold for cheaper.
'Damn, I guess I can only wait for the next Pokemon.' I thought to myself. After that VIP won Noibat, a few more Pokemon passes that didn't interest me as much.
The Pokemon Swinub, Sandile, Duskull and an Emolga passed. None of the Pokemon went over the prices of 12 million, so they were pretty buyable.
"Flo flo~" Flomantis squeals in joy as it runs circles around the couch. Chuckling at the little guys antics, I hear the woman announce the next Pokemon.
"The third to last Pokemon today will be a female Alolan Vulpix with a 1.5x larger frame! Similarly to some of the other Pokemon we have seen today, it has a few extra abilities. Vulpix has naturally had he moves [Extrasensory], [Freeze-Dry], and [Disable]!" Hearing this, my eyes started to widen in surprise. It's basically a Dragon killer/slayer in the Pokemon world if trained right.
This is definitely a Pokemon I would overpay for no matter what. I might be contradicting myself not even a few minutes later, but it's not everyday a Pokemon naturally breed can use all these moves.
Yeah a Noibat is strong but you can help it learn [Dragon Rush] and [Flamethrower] when it evolves.
But [Freeze-Dry], [Disable] and [Extrasensory] are moves a normal Alolan Vulpix can't learn at all naturally or by TMs. This of course would raise the overall value of Vulpix, but not everyone "knows" about move sets and such, so they don't know it's true value.
[Freeze-Dry] is not only a strong move but is super effective against water types, which ice isn't. [Disable] cancels Pokemon moves, like the flow of energy to a body part or build up. While [Extrasensory] is just shoving all the psychic energy you can or want into one spot and attacking a singular opponent.
"The starting bid will be five million!" The woman announces. Looking down at the Alolan Vulpix on stage, I see it's distressed look.
'It's scared.' I thought while looking at the Pokemon. Vulpix could be a new born or separated from its mother, I can't tell as I'm too far and the detail on screen isn't too good.
"12 million from VIP room one!" The speakers announcements make my heart drop. If this guys really wants this Vulpix then this could be troublesome.
"14.5 million from VIP room seven." I hear the speakers go off again. We bid a few times for the Vulpix until I had enough and just added a large number, which in hindsight I should have done sooner.
"22 million from VIP room seven!" The crowd who were originally talking all went silent as they heard the number.
From my knowledge this Vulpix would be worth around 40-60 million poke dollars depending if a person knows its value.
That's IF they knew it was a fairy type, but it doesn't "exist". So it would be valued at around 16-18 million right now. I don't want to risk it so I bid a few million over its "sopposed" market value.
Not hearing anyone else bidding I start to grin, this is a great addition to my team.
"Going once…" the woman after a few seconds confirmed that I won, making me sigh in relief. Getting up from my seat, I make my way out of the VIP room as I don't want to see the rest of the Pokemon.
I could maybe buy another Pokemon, but I don't want to disappoint myself if there was a better Pokemon I can't afford now.
"Come here." I gently call out to Flomantis. Flomantis sees me stretch my arms out, cutely takes small steps towards me and jumps into my embrace
*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*
"Flo!" It cheerfully says. It seems I already got the little guys to trust me. Well it wouldn't be hard to do as long as you don't keep it locked in a cold cage without yummy food.
Grabbing the cute Flomantis while hugging it, I walk outside and make my way over to the front desk. Heading over to the guy behind the desk, I pull out my VIP card.
"Hello, I'd like to get my Pokemon and Items now." I said as I gave the guy my card. The guy not responding, takes the card and scans it.
"Here are the your stuff sir." He says. The same guy standing up, heads over to a machine and transfers some items after putting in a code. "Your Golden Macho Brace, Martial Arts manual for fighting types and an Alolan Vulpix." He responds in a neutral voice.
Taking my VIP card back, I quickly put the items in my storage and grab Vulpix's Pokeball. After confirming there's an Alolan Vulpix with my Pokedex and that it has the right moves, I put the Pokeball in my pocket.
'I'll say hi to her when I leave this place.' I thought to myself as I exited the auction house and right after made my way back to the hotel.
