At the training grounds, these three individuals had trained alongside Sato and his four pokemon. After leaving, they stayed outside the training area to observe him and his pokemon for quite some time.
Sato was naturally aware of this, but he didn't mind. In fact, this was exactly the effect he wanted.
The reason these three had approached him was simply to figure out why his four pokemon had such high training efficiency. He could take this opportunity to promote the PokeBlocks he had on hand.
Although he currently had over six million in funds, no one ever complained about having too much money. Besides, pokemon tools were incredibly expensive—buying just a few could leave him broke.
Sato still lacked many necessary pokemon items. Take TMs, for instance: sometimes even money couldn't buy them. You needed certain privileges to obtain them.
The same went for Team Rocket. Don't think that having a lot of points means one can buy whatever they want—that's a misconception.
For certain items that reach a certain level of rarity, points become secondary. You need the purchase rights, which means climbing higher in rank to obtain them.
These rules applied outside of Team Rocket as well. No organization would easily put rare pokemon tools on the market. If you wanted to acquire them, you'd have to join them and make a "certain" contribution.
Due to these restrictions from various factions, one could imagine how valuable these rare pokemon items would be if they occasionally appeared on the open market. Without tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars, you could forget about getting your hands on them.
Saffron City was an internationally renowned metropolis, attracting people from all over the world. As a result, rare pokemon tools from all corners of the globe often appeared here.
It wasn't surprising to see such items pop up in this city. Profit-driven merchants had ways of helping you get your hands on the items you desired, but only if your wallet was large and full enough to satisfy these greedy vendors.
Now that Sato was in Saffron City, he naturally had the idea of shopping around for some rare items. If he didn't take the opportunity to get a few tools to strengthen his pokemon, his trip here would be wasted.
In other words, the money Sato had now wasn't nearly enough to buy the best items in Saffron City. He needed to earn more. Without sufficient funds, navigating Saffron would be nearly impossible.
From the well-dressed appearance of the three young trainers, it was clear they came from good backgrounds and were well-educated. Since they were seeking his help, they politely waited in silence while Sato finished bathing and massaging Nidoran.
"Hello, my name is Yu Mutou. We noticed at the training grounds that your pokemon's training efficiency is incredibly high. Could you tell us what kind of stamina-recovery items you're using?" A young trainer who seemed to be growing impatient finally asked Sato after he finished massaging his two pokemon.
The other two trainers quickly chimed in, expressing their eagerness to learn what kind of stamina-recovery products Sato was using to train his pokemon.
As fellow trainers, they understood the importance of stamina-recovery items. At the training grounds, they had already seen that Sato's pokemon trained with efficiency that was more than three times higher than theirs.
If they could train their pokemon as efficiently as Sato, it was easy to imagine that their pokemon's strength would grow much faster in the future.
Sato was quite satisfied with the patience and politeness shown by the three young trainers. He believed they could be potential customers. Thus, he didn't avoid their question.
"It's not really a secret. The reason my pokemon can recover stamina so quickly is because of this stamina-recovery item. Take a look, you probably aren't unfamiliar with it." Sato smiled and pulled out a medium-quality PokeBlock, waving it in front of the three.
The three trainers, coming from well-educated backgrounds, immediately recognized that what Sato held was indeed a PokeBlock, and a high-quality one at that. Their confusion was instantly cleared.
Though they now knew the secret behind Sato's pokemon's efficient training, the three trainers weren't exactly thrilled. They understood well how difficult it was to obtain medium-quality PokeBlocks.
High-quality PokeBlocks on the market were typically pre-ordered, and unless you had the right connections, they were impossible to obtain. Even those who had access to such items rarely had enough for themselves, let alone to share.
From their perspective, Sato, dressed in cheap clothes, appeared to be an ordinary, low-income trainer. They assumed the medium-quality PokeBlocks he had were likely acquired by chance, meaning he probably didn't have enough for his own use.
Of course, they were mistaken. Once Sato hinted that he had extra PokeBlocks to sell and a reliable supply source, the three trainers' faces lit up, eagerly offering to buy at a high price.
"I'm only selling them to you because you've been so polite and patient. You have to promise me one thing: don't tell anyone that I sold these PokeBlocks to you. If word gets out, I may not be able to provide more of these in the future," Sato said seriously, leading the three to a secluded spot.
The three trainers readily agreed to his condition. In fact, they were hoping that as few people as possible would know about Sato selling PokeBlocks, reducing future competition for themselves.
All three were relatively wealthy, and Sato's price was very reasonable, so the transaction went smoothly.
Sato ended up selling each of them medium-quality PokeBlocks at the market average of 500 PokeDollars per block, earning a total of 300,000 PokeDollars.
After the deal, the three trainers left with their contact details for Sato, fully believing he worked for a master PokeBlock maker. After swearing not to tell anyone, they left in high spirits, while Sato successfully gained three new customers. Both sides left happy.
"A good start—just like that, I made 300,000 PokeDollars. The PokeBlock business is truly a gold mine, but there aren't many people capable of handling it. I'll have to be more careful. To the other factions in Saffron City, I must look like a juicy piece of meat just waiting to be bitten," Sato thought, as he watched the three trainers leave with joy on their faces. His smile gradually faded into a calm expression.
Afterward, Sato recalled Nidoran, and without saying goodbye to Daisy, he swiftly left the Pokemon Center. For safety reasons, he couldn't stay there any longer.
