Earned big.

While walking towards the counter, Joseph saw lots of different items from pokeballs to every well known medicines and some items like repel, adrenaline orb, Pokédolls and different kinds of mails.

"Hello, how may I help you?" The cashier asked.

"Hello, I would like to sell something." Joseph said.

"Sell? Excuses me, but the PokeMart doesn't buy anything." The cashier looked at Joseph with weird gaze.

'So selling items here like in the game doesn't apply here, damn it's embarrassing.' Joseph's face and ears became hot but he tried to be composed as much as possible.

"Haha, I'm sorry, I'm just kidding." Joseph awkwardly laughed while the cashier was showing a bit of irritation because someone is trolling him.

"So, how may I help you sir?" The cashier asked again but this time his expression isn't polite like earlier anymore.

"Uhm, can I buy Pokeblocks?" Joseph smiled, he decided to buy random things to reduce the awkward atmosphere.

"The Pokeblocks are over there, It's priced 1000 Pokedollars per box with 12 pieces color of your choice." The cashier pointed at the corner of the store.

"Thank you." Joseph turned around then he went over where the boxes of pokéblocks are located.

"Let's just pick the red ones." Joseph picked the box of pokeblocks then he went to the cashier and paid for it.

After paying Joseph left the PokeMart with a sigh.

"Hey bro seems like you're a visitor in this region, if you are planning to sell something just go to the Trading House, that building over there." A kind customer who saw what happened earlier said.

"Oh! thank you."

"No problem man, I hope you enjoy your stay in this city." The kind teen lightly laughed then he waved his hand and left.

"This world is really different." Joseph muttered then he went to the Trading house.

Joseph was greeted by a staff.

"Hello welcome to Trading House, here you can trade anything you want, from rare Pokeballs to Pokemons or Items, except illegal goods. Are you a buyer or you want to sell something?" The good looking female staff said.

"I would like to sell." Joseph looked around the trading house and can see many people and stalls with different kinds of Items.

"First, we need to appraise your products to ensure the safety of your potential customers and also the people inside this establishment. After your goods passed the appraisal, you can rent an unoccupied stall to start selling your goods." The staff politely said.

'Isn't this just a wet market?' Joseph thought.

"Sir, would you like to sell your goods ?" The staff asked then Joseph nodded.

"Please follow me to appraise your products." The lady staff walked towards a big room that have a sign that says "Appraisal" hanging on the door.

Joseph and the staff entered the room and saw bunch of old and young individuals inspecting some items.

"This black glasses is damaged."

"These are just marbles, are you sure you want to sell it I can give you 1 Pokedollars each if you like?"

"Lemonade? You want to sell this for 1,000,000 Pokedollars?! Are you nuts?"

Joseph was guided by the staff to the idling appraiser.

"Hello, what kind of Item are you going to sell?" The appraiser asked.

Joseph took the big nugget inside his bag. The perfectly round shiny golden big nugget caught the attentions of the people inside the room.

"Wow! A big nugget!"

"It's really a nugget?"

"That guy must be lucky to find that nugget."

"A gram of gold from a nugget is 6500 Pokedollars right?"

The staff and appraiser's eyes widened, this is the first time they had seen a big nugget. Even though this world is a fantasy world, gold and silver are also rare in this world.

"Here please appraise its authenticity." Joseph passed the beautiful shiny big nugget that Gabite and Murkrow would surely love.

The appraiser carefully handled the big nugget then he placed it in a machine to analyze the components of the orb looking nugget.

"It says that its a 100% gold, you struck big kid, like what the man over there said every gram of gold is worth 6500 Pokedollars. The data I collected says that this orb is a kilogram, you can easily sell this to a jewelry store for 6.5 million Pokedollars, well the condition of this nugget is great some collectors would love to buy this with higher price." The old man appraiser said with slightly tensed tone.

"Mr. Stone from Hoenn would love to have this big nugget." The appraiser on the left table commented.

"I can contact him for you." The lady staff said with relaxed expression.

"Really?" Joseph was surprised that this staff knows Mr. Stone, a tycoon of Hoenn region.

"My name is Cecily, I'm the owner of this establishment. I met Mr. Stone and his son couple of times and were considered to be acquaintances already."

"Hello Ms. Cecily, my name is Joseph Johnson I will be troubling you then." Joseph politely said.

"No problem, just pay the appraisal fee." Cecily lightly laughed then she took a Rotom Phone and contacted Mr. Stone.

'So, Rotom phone is a thing now... what about those Pokenavs and Pokegears?' Joseph thought while looking at the phone that introduced in Generation VIII.

After a minute passed, Mr. Stone generously bought the Big nugget for 7 million Pokedollars.

The nugget was transfered using a Machine that can teleport an Item anywhere, somehow it acts like a GTS but for Items.

"Ms. Cecily... about your commission." Joseph was thinking to give Cecily a hundred thousand because she was the one who called Mr. Stone for him.

"There's no need, I don't lack money and I'm happy to help a handsome lad." Cecily winked at Joseph, Joseph just smiled at her and thanked her again.

"Feel free to come here again if you found something valuable, I will personally escort you." Cecily turned around and left the appraisal room.

Joseph was also about to leave but something caught his attention from the other appraisal table.

'Those marbles are familiar, oh shit a dozen of mega stones?!' Joseph's eyes widened then he went towards the man and the appraiser.

"Can you please try appraising it again? I really saw it glowing in my own eyes, this marbles must be special." The man who owns the mega stones said.

"No, I tried different inspections on these marbles and they are normal, like I said earlier even if you price this things 1 Pokedollar each, you will be having hard time on selling it." The appraiser said then the man who owns the mega stones felt disappointed.

"Mister, I would like to buy all of that stones fot 10,000 Pokedollars take it as help from me since I can tell that you are dire in need of money." Joseph said like a good samaritan.

"Really?!" The man was surprised and happy at the same time.

"Yes." Joseph nodded.

"Deal, all of these marbles are yours." The man passed 15 different colored marbles then Joseph transfered 10,000 pokedollars to the man.

"Mister if you found something like this again, you can find me at this address." Joseph showed his newly registered address in Viridian City.

"Okay, I know that place." The man said then he hurriedly left.

"I'm just curious, why did you bought those marbles?" The appraiser asked.

"These things looks beautiful, and maybe out of goodwill." Joseph lightly laughed after he bullshitted the appraiser then he left the Trading House.
