"Although its shape is a bit odd, if you can really cultivate such a fish into... Milotic, right?"
"I think it must bring an indescribable sense of accomplishment."
Jack said with emotion. Precisely because Feebas is currently unattractive, when it transforms and sublimates, its beauty will be even more remarkable, right?
But it is undeniable that such Feebas must be carefully taken care of throughout the process.
Hmm, still a bit daunting.
"I want this Feebas, boss, but is it not capable now?"
Bella raised her head to look at Alex, hesitated, and confirmed with him.
"Yes, it is almost impossible for Feebas to compete in Pokémon battles. Not only does it have specific requirements for the battle environment, but even if it does fight, its combat power is extremely weak."
Alex tried his best to express Feebas' abilities during this period as gently as possible.
Feebas is a standard Water-type Pokémon shaped like a fish, and it lacks the ability to function outside of water.
It needs a water-based field to fight, not to mention its combat effectiveness is only slightly better than Magikarp.
Simply put, Feebas is currently quite feeble.
"Then I'll draw another one."
Bella frowned slightly. Getting Feebas was unexpected; her original intention was to add a main force that could fight now.
"No problem at all!"
Alex raised his eyebrows and handed the Pokémon Pokédex to Bella with enthusiasm.
Bella still wants to draw more Pokémon, and Alex couldn't be happier!
"Boss, why do you have to be so subtle? You have to accept this expression."
Chloe looked at Alex with a smirk, noticing how his face lit up when Bella decided to draw again.
"Guests, you should understand. Don't underestimate how tough it is for me to do business."
Alex replied with a playful tone.
"That's not quite right. Obviously, boss, your video is still very popular on the Internet," Ryan said suspiciously.
Although Alex had only released two videos, their popularity was extremely high.
"Who knows, maybe people don't want to travel to the capital to see a pet store, or they still doubt the authenticity of the video."
Alex shrugged helplessly, explaining his confusion.
Clearly, the popularity of his video is still high, but not many people are coming to his store to see it in person.
There have been more customers in his store these past two days than before, but the price of Pokémon still scares some people away.
And despite the online video, many people may still think the video is just synthetic CGI. After all, a fox and a red-skinned lizard battling with fire—is that believable?
Even if professionals in the comment section swear on their ancestors, viewers might still dismiss it as a gimmick.
"And even if people are interested, they won't come immediately."
Alex shook his head. After all, the video had only been uploaded for two days, and the battle video was just uploaded last night. The effect can't be immediate.
"Right now, Boss, your store's reputation isn't out yet. After I go back, I'll help you promote it in my circle."
Jack thought for a moment and said to Alex.
Anyway, he had spent 60 million to buy Larvitar. Not to mention, if this store can really grow, and if Pokémon can become popular, Larvitar's reputation will spread further, right?
He has a Quasi-Legendary Pokémon, Larvitar!
Of course, it has to be publicized!
"Then thank you, Mr. Jack," Alex thanked him.
If there are customers who are willing to help promote it for free, that's the best.
"Are those guys lying to me?"
Chloe blinked, took out her phone, and looked at her social media posts from yesterday, her pretty face wrinkled.
To be honest, she has quite a few friends, but in the real sense, only Bella is a close friend. She posted about the Pokémon House pet store yesterday when she got home.
She recommended the Pokémon House pet store and posted a short video of Charmander and Trapinch. Many people liked and commented, and many said they wanted to see it.
But now, none of them are coming?
Unbelievable!
"Boss, help me see this."
At this time, Bella handed over the Pokédex, having already drawn her next Pokémon.
"Oh~ it's Horsea."
Alex took the Pokédex and recognized the Pokémon instantly.
"It looks so cute, so adorable."
Chloe brought her head closer, very interested in the little blue seahorse in the picture.
"This is also a Water-type Pokémon, and it has good potential. Its final evolution includes the Dragon type."
Alex recalled and smiled at Bella.
The final evolution of Horsea is Kingdra, a Water and Dragon type, and it is quite strong.
"Dragon type?" Bella's eyes sparkled slightly.
"Then I want this one!"
The boss once said that there are very few Pokémon with the Dragon type, and the Dragon type is a very strong type!
And the shape of this little seahorse is also very cute and in line with her aesthetic, so there's no reason not to!
"Wait," Alex nodded and walked into the back room.
After a while, Alex came out with another small bucket.
"Boss, doesn't Horsea also have specific requirements for its environment?"
Seeing this, Bella was stunned. Oh dear, she almost forgot that seahorses can't live without water!
And now that she thinks about it, why is she so connected to Water-type Pokémon? Three Pokémon in a row are all Water types.
"No, although Horsea is best in the water, it's capable of fighting on land, just not as agile as in water."
Alex shook his head and replied, excluding Magikarp and Feebas, which are completely fish-shaped.
Most Water-type Pokémon are actually quite effective on land, just not as flexible and comfortable as on a water-based field.
The same is true for Horsea. It can also jump and move on the ground, but in the water, Horsea's movement flexibility is, of course, higher.
"That's good," Bella breathed a sigh of relief.
"Beep~ Horsea, Water Type, Dragon Pokémon
Ability: Swift Swim
Moves: Water Gun, Leer, Smokescreen, Aurora Beam
Balances with a tail rolled up like a clockwork spring, it's said to sometimes spray ink violently from the water, knocking down flying insects."
Chloe used her Pokédex to scan Horsea, who was curiously sticking its head out of the bucket. This little guy didn't seem to be afraid of strangers.
"Horsea, I look forward to working with you."
Bella liked this cute little seahorse very much, and Squirtle was also at the bucket, happily interacting with its new friend.
Horsea narrowed its eyes and greeted Bella happily.
"It's a very outgoing child," Alex chuckled when he saw this.
"Then Miss Bella, Feebas is 100,000, and Horsea is 200,000, so the total is 300,000."
Although the future evolution of Feebas, Milotic, is extremely precious, Feebas itself is quite common, and the price of 100,000 is still not discounted.
As for Horsea, it's ordinary—not precious but not too rare—hence the normal price of 200,000.
"Swipe your card!"
Bella took out the bank card from her bag without hesitation. It was only 300,000 yuan, a small amount of money!
Well, compared to the first time she bought the Squirtle, the change in Bella is quite obvious.
Now she completely feels like she's getting a bargain.
After all, two Pokémon for a total of only 300,000.
