Novice Task Completed

"Are you trying to fleece me, kid?"

Although Anko was a bit moved, she was still distressed over spending more than 500,000 yen in one go.

More than 500,000 yen is equivalent to the reward for several B-level missions, and even the lowest-paid A-level missions only earn about 150,000 yen.

500,000 yen is enough for Anko to buy balls and red bean soup for a few years.

For now, Anko was not looking to buy more Pokémon.

Fuji understood this well.

After all, Snivy had not yet fully demonstrated its abilities, so its appeal was naturally limited. Once Pokémon showcased their true potential, Anko might wonder why there was a "rule" limiting her to drawing only 5 Pokémon per day.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. This is a Poké Ball, a tool used to capture and carry Pokémon. Different types of Poké Balls have various special effects."

"Anko, do you think you need to buy one for Snivy?"

Fuji ignored Anko's grumbling and asked with a smile.

"Poké Ball?"

Anko asked curiously.

"Yes, not every Pokémon is as small as Snivy, and the Poké Ball can contain Pokémon to make them easier to carry."

"Each Poké Ball serves as a Pokémon's bedroom, allowing them to rest inside."

Fuji nodded and explained.

Given that this world is a ninja world with sealing scrolls and the like, the appearance of items such as Poké Balls is not very obtrusive.

If it were an ordinary world, Fuji would not have introduced such an item as the Poké Ball at this time.

Of course, the main function of the Poké Ball is to capture wild Pokémon, but there are no wild Pokémon in this world. For now, the Poké Ball's role is to carry Pokémon and provide them with a resting place.

"I see. In that case, I'll take one."

Since Anko had already bought Snivy, she was willing to purchase a Poké Ball.

"There are many types of Poké Balls. For your situation, I recommend the Luxury Ball. It's the most suitable for Pokémon like Snivy."

Fuji smiled and explained.

"Luxury Ball?"

"Yes, there are various types of Poké Balls. Ordinary Poké Balls cost 1,000 yen, while Luxury Balls cost 10,000 yen. The Luxury Ball is the most suitable for Snivy."

Fuji nodded and clarified.

"You're such a profiteer. Give me a Luxury Ball."

Anko was slightly speechless but still decided to buy the Luxury Ball for Snivy.

"How do you use this Luxury Ball?"

After purchasing the Luxury Ball, Anko asked.

"It's very simple. You aim at Snivy and press the middle button," Fuji said. "Snivy, don't resist."

There is no 100% guarantee that a Pokémon will be captured by a Poké Ball unless the Pokémon does not resist.

"Snivy, Snivy, Snivy."

The Snivy was very obedient. After Anko clicked the button in the middle of the Luxury Ball, Snivy turned into light and entered the Poké Ball.

"Wow, yes, this Luxury Ball is amazing."

Although a bit surprised, Anko quickly adapted to the functionality of the Luxury Ball.

"So, how do you get Snivy out?"

"Just press the button in the middle of the Luxury Ball again. Of course, Snivy can also choose to come out on its own."

"Alright, Snivy, come out."

Anko pressed the button in the middle of the Luxury Ball and spoke softly.

Then, with a bright light projecting onto the ground, Snivy reappeared in front of Anko.

"Snivy, Snivy, Snivy, Snivy, Snivy…"

Snivy looked pleased, obviously very satisfied with the environment inside the Luxury Ball.

…

"Goodbye, and feel free to visit again. Remember to refer more customers to me!"

"Why would I help you advertise? You're such a 'black shop'!"

Anko grimaced at Fuji and then left with Snivy.

Originally, Anko had just intended to buy some ninja tools, but instead, she ended up spending over 500,000 yen on Snivy and related items.

Now she needed to visit other ninja shops to purchase new ninja tools.

After Anko's departure, Fuji returned to his store.

"It's going smoothly; I didn't expect my first customer to be Anko."

Fuji stretched and smiled with satisfaction.

That's right, Fuji is a traveler who has been in the Naruto world for over ten years.

When he first arrived, Fuji had high hopes for a system, but after many years, he had accepted that he didn't have one.

Unexpectedly, just yesterday, Fuji activated the system, which transformed his ninja shop into a Pokémon Shop.

And Anko was the first customer Fuji received in the Pokémon Shop, marking a great start.

"System, settle the newbie task."

Back in the store, Fuji took a sip of water and addressed the system.

[Newbie Mission: Successfully sold the first Pokémon. Mission completed.]
