"Huh? Brother, aren't you afraid that Dad will get upset with you?"

Seeing that her brother was actually interested, Emily was surprised and laughed teasingly.

"Sister, if you're not afraid, why should I be?" Eric retorted, pouting.

Emily kept clicking her tongue, ready to see how things would unfold.

"Mr. Eric seems to have made up his mind."

But Alex didn't mind this. Seeing that this young man was also going to buy a Pokémon made him quite happy.

Handing the store manager's Pokédex to Eric, Alex said with a smile.

"Of course, I want to get the best one!"

Eric threw the Rookie Trainer manual to Emily, rubbed his hands, and took the store manager's Pokédex, speaking with anticipation.

He had read the Trainer manual earlier and had a general understanding of Pokémon, but not having his own Pokémon made him eager.

"By the way, store manager, which Attribute is the most powerful?"

Eric thought for a moment and asked Alex curiously.

"It must be Grass!"

"Bulba, Bulba~"

Emily hugged Bulbasaur and declared confidently, with Bulbasaur chiming in cooperatively.

Eric glanced at Emily and Bulbasaur with a hint of disdain. How could she say such a thing?

"There is no absolute difference in power between Attributes. If you read the Rookie manual, you should know this, as Attributes have a relationship of mutual restraint."

After thinking about it, Alex replied. Pokémon Attributes are quite mysterious, as they have a chain of strengths and weaknesses.

The simplest example is the starter Pokémon types: Fire beats Grass, Grass beats Water, and Water beats Fire.

Therefore, there is no absolutely invincible Attribute. Even the powerful Dragon type is completely countered by the Fairy type.

Dragon-type moves are ineffective against Fairy types, and just as the tricky Psychic type is countered by Dark types.

Additionally, Psychic moves are ineffective against Dark types.

"But if we talk about the more challenging Attributes, Ghost, Poison, and Psychic are definitely the three iconic ones. As for Dragon..."

"Dragon-type can be considered a traditionally powerful Attribute because Dragon-type Pokémon are naturally strong. Each Dragon-type Pokémon is not only strong in terms of Attributes, but compared to other Pokémon, Dragon types have a naturally strong physique."

After hesitating for a bit, Alex explained further.

Ghost and Psychic types are definitely among the top Attributes.

And Poison types can be particularly troublesome. In the hands of a Trainer skilled at using poison, Poison types can really make you suffer.

Not to mention Dragon types, which are powerful for a reason, and Dragon-type Pokémon are extremely rare.

If you check the Pokédex, you'll find that, except for Druddigon, there is no Dragon type in its final form with a base stat total lower than 500!

Yes, it is precisely because of this that Druddigon is often called the "shame of the dragon" by Pokémon fans. Although Druddigon's base stats aren't low for an ordinary Pokémon, they are definitely average.

But it does bring down the average for Dragon Pokémon.

Well, it is strongly recommended to expel Druddigon from the dragon status!

"Of course, these are all one-sided understandings. Whether a Pokémon is strong or not depends on the Trainer's care and training, and if Pokémon are battling, the Trainer's role also has a significant impact."

Alex added another point.

"I understand."

Eric thoughtfully noted the four Attributes Alex just mentioned.

Poison, Ghost, Psychic, Dragon!

Taking a deep breath, Eric solemnly clicked on 'go.'

Come on, a dragon! Please let me get a dragon!

Eric stared at the black shadows continuously spinning on the Pokédex screen, praying to the Goddess of Luck and all the deities he could think of.

Emily leaned in curiously, eager to see what Pokémon her brother would draw.

After a while, the shadows on the Pokédex gradually stopped.

"Boss, what is this?"

Eric was startled after seeing the Pokémon on the Pokédex.

"Let me see, oh~ you have good luck, this is Elekid."

Alex glanced at it and then raised his eyebrows. To be honest, the Pokémon that these customers have drawn are quite good.

"Elekid? Electric?"

Eric repeated the name and naturally thought of the Electric type.

"Yes, Elekid is a very standard Electric-type Pokémon, and its strength is quite good among Electric types."

Alex said with a smile. Elekid is indeed quite good on its own, and the final evolutionary form, Electivire, is definitely not weak.

"It looks a little unusual, not ugly."

Emily lightly pinched Bulbasaur's cheek, carefully examining Elekid's appearance and commenting.

It's not ugly, but not particularly cute either.

"What do you think? Should I draw again or go with this one? Elekid is pretty good, in my opinion."

Alex looked at Eric, who seemed to be in a dilemma, and offered some polite advice.

Elekid is definitely not bad among all Pokémon. He understood that Eric might want one of the Attributes he mentioned earlier.

But it's not that simple to get one, and even if you do, it might not be as good as Elekid.

Not to mention that there's a good chance you'll end up with something else.

Of course, he is a seller, and Eric is a customer. The choice is ultimately up to Eric.

"I'll take Elekid, boss."

After some internal debate, Eric finally made his decision.

This is my first time!

Eric looked at Elekid in the picture and felt quite satisfied. After all, it was the first little guy he had drawn!

It's fate!

"Very wise choice." Alex nodded.

He appreciated a more rational customer like Eric, though he did enjoy those who were impulsive as well.
