Chapter 23-Selling Dirt

Our little gang had finally made it to our next destination. The famous Store Blocks and Berries. Walking in I thought of something and decided to pull out the nine bottles of Growing Earth. Immediately all the grass type Pokemon in the room stopped. Walking up to a counter I smiled warmly and asked "Are you interested in buying a new Product of mine." Taking a second to recover the lady at the counter made a face of excitement and yelled out "Dad get out here you got business."

The next second a man came out with his Oddish when he noticed his Pokemon going crazy. Looking at the cause he noticed a shine on the bottles indicating them as Pokemon enhancing items. What's more, the man had never saw these exact Items before. Walking over he introduced himself to me. Smiling I waved off his politeness with some of my own.

I hated the feeling of being polite like this. It hid the true me that was underneath. "Sir as I said before we call this new product, which we are so very proud of, Growing Earth." Seeing the man interested in the product I continued on "But the most amazing point is this. By letting a Pokemon hold onto one of these as an Item you can boost the power of Ground as well as Grass type moves. It is the first known enhancement to enhance two types." This statement I could guarantee with the system, my knowledge of this world, and the memories of living here.

The man before me appeared to be drooling at the thought of getting these new goods. He didn't know how rare they were, but he knew the value of other Items like them minus the ability to enhance two types of Pokemon, and he couldn't help but drool at the thought of getting one. The thought of theft never crossed the man's mind. In this Pokemon based world he could just beat thieves into submission if it was absolutely needed, but in this world crime was little as such most didn't need to even worry in the first place about theft happening. The greater laws of happiness prevented it. At least that was what I liked to call rules the world followed.

Still even with the world being good merchants were merchants; just the same in any world. "I'll sell these products with my wide connections," with this the man implied it might cost a bit to get them sold to the right people. Rebutting that I continued with my own counterattack "I'm sure that anyone would be thrilled to have a peace of a never before seen pie."

The man sighing just knowing this would be a tiresome battle, the boy after all wasn't gullible like others he had seen " I can give you 70% of all sales from you products." "Surely we both know that I need to take care of gathering costs. What about 95%. Since I am also the one providing the good to be sold." "That may be true sir, but we need to take up the space of our other stock with this which can cost us money. We even need time to sell these goods. It will even take a while for the goods to even at a chance catch on," the man continued with his defends. "It's true they take up space, but their extremely small so it would be of little consequence."

It had taken the two about another hour to finally come to an agreement and sign a document stating the price of where I would gain 85% of the profits. It wasn't as high as I hoped, but I suppose people are always greedy for more cash. This whole event turned out to be a torture fest for me though at the end of it. Being polite for so long had completely fried my brain. Taking one final look at the store, and the excited boss I walked away back to the Dojo leaving the case with 9 Growing Earths.
