Chapter 140: 140 (Bonus Chapter)

A couple of beautiful women brought the next item and removed the cover. Seeing the item being revealed, Klee started presenting it to the participants of the auction.

"The next auction item is the well-known [8 Vitamins]. Each of these vitamins can improve the basic stats of your Pokémon, thus useful for every trainer. The starting bid is only 100,000 Pokédollars."

Alex already knew about [8 Vitamins] from reading a book about this world.

Although this item can really improve the basic stats of a Pokémon, they have a substantial disadvantage in this world.

After a Pokémon eats a vitamin, the effect for the next vitamin item will be halved.

For example, a Pokémon that has never eaten a vitamin item gains 100% of the effect. But a Pokémon that has already eaten two vitamin items only gets 25% of the intended result.

So the order of the vitamin can make a big difference.

Simply said, the effect is worse the more vitamin a Pokémon has eaten.

Alex saw how none of the Gym leaders and Elite Four showed any interest and immediately understood that each of these trainers has already given his Pokémon vitamins several times.

"100,000." (Junichi, Box #50)

"200,000." (Box #23)

"500,000." (Alex, Box #48)

"600,000." (Junichi, Box #50)

Alex, who remarked that this item is interesting for a few people here, showed an annoyed expression. Expressly when the Junichi raised the price a little unnecessarily.

Although the vitamin items are difficult to make, they are not ridiculously rare. And one can be purchased between 50,000 and 100,000 when available.

Unfortunately, Alex doesn't know anyone who makes this item, so he can only wait if he doesn't buy it now. Although Jack might know someone, Alex can't be sure.

"650,000." (Alex, Box #48)

Junichi, who heard this price, thought for a few seconds and stopped bidding. He had the feeling that this item was not worth the price of 700,000.

"750,000" (Misty, Box #49)

Alex, who thought that he had got this item successfully, was disgruntled when he heard this bid.

He looked at Misty, who gave him a radiant smirk, and suppressed the feeling of insulting Misty. Alex didn't want to show Misty how annoyed he was with her actions. He had the feeling that she only bid to annoy him and not because she really wants this item.

"800,000." (Alex, Box #48)

Misty, who was successful in getting under Alex's skin, gave a small grin when she said, "Hmmm... I still have more than 15 million. Should I go on or not? What do you think, Alex?"

Alex's face twitched for a second.

"Ahh~ how nice for you! You must be really proud to be able to throw away the money of your family. It must be good to have this much free money. But too bad that you weren't able to buy a brain, or should I say chest."

Misty's face swelled for a second before calming down. After that, she started ignoring Alex.

In the end, Alex was able to successfully purchase the [8 Vitamins] for 800,000 Pokédollars

Klee, who started to present the next auction item, showed an excited face. "We have prepared something very special as the 50th auction item."

Alex and many other trainers grew interested after hearing her words. Klee signaled her assistants to show the item.

In a small glass box on a rolling table, there was a small round red ball made of glass with an orange circle in it.

"As many of you can see, the next auction item is the famous hold item, the [Life Orb]. The [Life Orb] amplifies every attack from a Pokémon in exchange for a little damage to the holder. In the right hands, this item can save you and your Pokémon's lives when you are exposed to an enemy stronger than you. The starting bid of this great item is 15 million."

Alex, who heard the starting price, immediately lost interest. He had the feeling that this item is useful only when your Pokémon are on the champion rank. And it will take a really long time to get that strong. And also rich enough to buy it.

"15 million." (Bruno, Box #2)

"20 million." (Lt. Surge, Box #4)

Klee charmingly smiled when she said out loud, "It looks like two powerful trainers are really interested in this wonderful item."

"25 million." (Bruno, Box #2)

"30 million." (Lt. Surge, Box #4)

In the end, this item was sold to Bruno for 70 million, who then promptly left the hall just like Lance.

Alex looked wordlessly at the next couple of auction items that didn't really interest him.

But at item #59, Alex's eyes showed slight interest.

"As the next auction item, we have a Cranidos with the S rank. It is only a few days old and has a lot of potentials to be drawn from. The starting bid is 5 million."

Alex, who heard the price from these Cranidos, couldn't help but shook his head with disappointment. This Pokémon was really good. Just that it was not meant to be his.

He felt a bit too poor for the auction where several million dollars are thrown for the items or Pokémon.

"Hmm, Gold Pokémon earns a good amount of money," Alex thought when he saw how much this Pokémon was being sold.

...

"45 million going once... going twice... and SOLD!"

"Congratulations to Brock on the successful purchase."

After successfully winning the auction, Brock walked out of the hall like the two members of the Elite Four.
