Shopping

"Welcome to Silph Co. Department Store. What can we do for you, sir?" Upon entering the building, Jun saw a luxurious reception room with a professional woman greeting him with a smile.

"Hello. As you can see, I'm looking for something for my Eevee and possibly a holding item for Steel or Psychic-type Pokemon. Can you assist me?" Jun asked innocently.

The woman looked at Jun, who was alone, but still maintained her professional smile. "Sure, let me introduce you to each floor first," she said. It was not uncommon for a child like Jun to shop alone in the mall.

She soon led him to the floor dedicated to Pokemon trainers. As the headquarters of Silph Co., the store sold items not only for Pokemon but also for humans like Jun.

Jun walked around and noticed a new person entering the building every 50 seconds. It was clear how much the trainer profession was booming in this world.

"Kyuu~"

Eevee also looked at the people passing by with a curious expression. After spending its childhood in a cave, it rarely saw people and was now surrounded by many.

"This is the floor for Pokemon trainers. You can explore inside and use the computer in the middle area named 'Search Section' if you still can't find what you're looking for. Then, happy shopping," the woman said with a smile, not forgetting teasing Eevee.

"Thank you," Jun bowed slightly.

After the woman left, Jun looked around the store. He could find everything here, from PokeBalls and potions to stat-raising items and even evolution stones. Jun had two purposes in mind: to buy items for Eevee and Beldum, and to buy evolution stones. He opened his phone and the Pokedex app. The Pokemon Alliance had announced that there were 748 types of Pokemon already discovered. Jun wanted to make sure he had the Eevee evolution chart in the Pokedex app.

Soon, the page for Eevee appeared. In the evolution chart section, there were no other Pokemon listed, meaning that the chart was still undiscovered. After confirming this, Jun immediately went to the "Wiseman Gifts" section on the fourth floor.

"Hello, what can I help you with?" another receptionist greeted Jun.

"I'm looking for evolution stones," Jun stated.

"Yes, please follow me," she said, redirecting Jun to a counter behind her, before asking, "What stones are you looking for?"

"Hmm, give me one stone for each type," Jun answered, surprising the woman.

"You want one stone for each type?" she asked again to confirm.

Jun nodded in response.

"Please wait a moment," she said.

She soon brought four boxes, each containing the evolution stones.

"Sir, these are the evolution stones you asked for: the Fire Stone, Water Stone, Thunder Stone, and Leaf Stone. We're sorry, but we're currently out of Ice Stones."

Jun checked each stone and thought, 'So these are evolution stones.' They looked like normal stones but had different colors that symbolized their attribute and a single pattern in the middle of each.

"Do evolution stones have different grades, and how much do they cost?" Jun asked.

"Of course, they do. Each evolution stone has three grades for each attribute. The first is a lower quality stone, which costs 1,500 Alliance coins. The second is a normal quality stone, which costs 2,500 to 3,000 Alliance coins, depending on the quantity of energy. The last one is a higher quality stone, which costs 5,000 Alliance coins. The one you're holding now is the higher quality one," she explained.

Jun nodded and took out his Alliance card and phone. "I'd like to buy all of the stones, please. Here's my Alliance card, and I'll pay using the scan."

The receptionist then scanned his Alliance card first. "Because this is your first time shopping using your Alliance card, you can get a 10% discount. The total is 20,000 Alliance coins, minus 10% discount, making it 18,000 Alliance coins."

Soon, 18,000 Alliance coins were deducted from his account, and Jun left the 4th floor to head towards the 5th floor. Upon arriving at the 5th floor, he quickly purchased two bottles each of Iron, Zinc, Protein, Calcium, and Carbos, with each bottle costing 9,800 Alliance coins, bringing the total to 98,000 Alliance coins. In addition, he also purchased a Silk Scarf for 2,000 Alliance coins, bringing his total expenditure to 100,000 Alliance coins.

Jun paid for all of the items using 10 WCoins. In this world, 1 WCoin is equivalent to 10,000 Alliance coins. People are required to use WCoins for transactions exceeding 20,000 Alliance coins to simplify calculations and minimize the risk of errors when dealing with large numbers. Moreover, it helps to standardize prices and ensure fair and consistent pricing of items and services.

After paying for everything, Jun walked around and looked at the items available at the Silph department store. he then arrived at TM shop and lloked if there's any good TM for Eevee.

TM10 (Hidden Power), 3000 Alliance coins

TM17 (Protect), 3000 Alliance coins

TM37 (Sandstorm) 2000 Alliance coins

TM11 (Sunny Day), 2000 Alliance coins

TM28 (Dig), 2000 Alliance coins

TM79 (Dark Pulse), 3000 Alliance coins

Jun only looking at it before finally he lost interested in the TM shop and went to the rooftop.

"Phew.. " Jun exhaled a breath when the refresing wind touch his face.

Eevee looking at Jun for a while and the mimicked Jun actions, by exhaling it out with a soft "Kyuu~" in an exaggerated manner making Jun laugh at the adorable sight. He then lifted Eevee and put it on his thigs and pat it causing Eevee to wag its tail.

Jun got up and bought a lemonade and Moomoo Milk for Eevee from a vending machine. He checked the shopping receipt and sighed. Jun was grateful to have been born into a rich family. Being a Pokemon trainer was really expensive. Even something as simple as a drink, for instance, cost him 35 Alliance Coins for lemonade and 100 Alliance Coins for Moomoo Milk.

Jun then remembered the Silk Scarf he had bought earlier and wrapped it around Eevee's neck. Since Eevee was still in infancy, the scarf seemed a little big for it.

"Wrap yourself up in this, and you'll soon feel warm," Jun said.

Eevee looked at the scarf around its neck curiously, then reached out with its paw to release it from its neck and use it as a makeshift quilt.

"Kyuu," Eevee let out a comfortable squeak.

Jun was a little dazed looking at this. Eevee looked at the dazed Jun and tilted its head in doubt.

"Nothing, I was just wondering when you're going to grow up and wear it like a scarf," Jun smiled and stroked Eevee's head.
