chapter 12- the deal is reached

Dusknoir turned angry at the fact that his kids were regarded as bargaining chip by his dear friend and leader, Gengar and shouted out his disapproval over this bargain.

But Gengar's one serious gaze froze Dusknoir midstep and reminded him that he was just pseudo king and Gengar still was their leader and his words can't be reverted back.

Alex show their little episode and the two bargaining chip just floated uniformly at the side not interfering or saying a word.

Alex took a deep breathe and said" I am sorry. I can't do that. "

" Aren't you too greedy human. You are already getting not one but two ghost pokemons who hatched from the eggs. Do you know what it means. Over time they would at least reach my level and have much chances to even surpass me.

Do you know what you are losing to your greed boy?" Dusknoir sent out all his anger and wrath for Gengar in himself at Alex and continued to shout and roar at him. But he didn't initiate the attack Because he knew the moment it starts attacking all the bargaining will come to an end.

" It's not that I don't want to exchange for the two. But even if I give you the recipe for ghost pokecube you can't do anything about it. You can't create it." Alex said helplessly

" Are you looking down on us. I will have you know we can do it too if you a little human can do it." Dusknoir said disdainfully.

He threw a pokecube from his bag to Gengar who caught it in one hand and then after checking there isn't anything wrong he ate it. He was a poison type and unless a highly potent poison used he won't be affected.

After eating it Gengar felt his ghost energy increasing slightly. And this slightly meant enormously. He is a pseudo champion level pokemon. and to increase his reserves a high quality treasure must be used which are heavily sought after by other powerful pokemons and humans too.

He was puzzled why he said we can't create it but after a couple of bite he understood what he meant. That pokecube used aura to enhance their innate efficiency and potency. So only someone well versed in aura can create them.

And the only people who he knows of that know of aura in his long lifespan are the aura pokemon , riolu and Lucario along with humans who call themselves aura guardian.

So this is the reason for their lack of ability to make the pokecube. The creator must use aura.

Alex has remodeled the original formula to the one with aura and after much experiments he managed to make one.

This way Alex formula even if known wouldn't attract much attention. After all there are less than hundred aura users in the world and even then it would be an exaggeration.

Gengar told Dusknoir his conclusion and even his expression turned Grimm. They discussed something and later found to the another bargaining point.

" Fine give me one hundred such cubes for each of them."

This was a cost effective deal for Alex. Every hundred cubes costs a few million to Alex and these pokemons cost few hundred million.in the black market and may reach billions if found that one of their parents is pseudo king and they hatched from the egg.

So Alex felt he is getting a good deal but he didn't immediately agreed to this. After all both these are centuries old pokemons and hence are old foxes who could quickly sense Alex benefits from this deal of he agreed too quickly.

So Alex began his acting. Alex shouted," What ? Do you know just how much they cost? Do you think I grow gold or something. I can only exchange 10 cubes." He added at last.

Both Gengar and dusknoir nodded along thinking it was right that 100 may be too excessive. After all to increase power of Gengar meant that they are rare and can't be mass created or so they thought.

" No 10 is too low. We need at least 50 of each."

" 50 meant I have to give 100 to you. Sorry can do. I can only give you 30 at most for both. The things needed for these are too rare and the success rate is low too. "

Mention of resources sparked the interest for the veteran ghosts. They felt he was still a kid so they could get more information about the cube." What are the things you may need? Tell us , we may be able to get it for you." Dusknoir asked

" I need at least medium grade ghost stone along with few other things. And even then one ghost stone can create only ten. And I have to try at least 60 to 75 times for them.

Can you get the ghost stone. Though that energy gatherer in the Tower can help me create with a higher chances of success." Alex said

Although enraged that the brat had such a big demand. Asking for medium grade ghost stone along with the gathering array they still felt it was almost feasible as such a great thing need rarer things but energy gathering array made them question the boy's intention

So gengar asked," What do you need them for?"

" Ghost stones are needed for creating ghost favored cube. Inferior ones may be used but they aren't up to the par. It won't increase much strength but medium is better.

As for higher grade ones I haven't seen them and dint think you would use it for this. And the energy gathering array help in creating them at greater success

With my aura I can direct the surrounding energy in a point and create more with less failure chances. I would have 20% or even 25% success rate with this. Though it is only theoretical data as I haven't tested it yet. But they can really increase the success rate." Alex explained them.

Although it seemed far-fetched they still felt it was possible. After all if the success rate isn't at this level won't humans mass produce them and completely rule the world instead of just a part of it.

Still they felt they can get more out of this deal and said," We will give you 100 medium grade ghost stone. How many cubes can you create from them?"

" Is it with the array or without ?" Alex asked.

" In both cases?" Both the ghosts and Alex knew this was a key moment and the number of success may be make the final deal.

" Without the array I would be hard pressed for around 200 but of I have it then the success is 300 to 350."

Hearing this number numbed both the ghosts. With these many cubes they can have at least a hundred advanced level pokemons. This would be Increase the security of the tower greatly and they won't have to worry about possible attacks in the future.

Alex knew what these many cubes could do but Daniel has revealed that his grandpa is just as strong as normal elite four. With them he could handle the tower alone in case they go on rampage and Agatha won't leave her brother alone so the case of riots happening was nil and even if it happened it would be subdued soon after.

And for these many cubes they need to have 100 medium grade ghost stone which was highly improbable. At most they would have half a century of these stones stored.

In the end the deal was signed between the two parties that in exchange for the two baby ghosts Alex has to give them 50 pokecube. To Helo in this matter the ghosts would give him 25 medium and 100 low grade ghost stone along with the blueprint for creation of energy gathering array.

In the end both parties were satisfied with the deal and felt they fooled the other side. And the two ghost Happily played around at getting a chance to travel and see more of this world.

Finally after the deal was initially created Alex asked them," Who is going to calm the mother Mismagius?"

On hearing this, all the joy from this deal went down the drain for the two ghosts and they turned white.

Alex has a business transaction with the leader of Pokemon tower. How will they calm an angry mother who will find that her husband and friend sold her kids. Stay tuned
