Chapter 59 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 59
After training with Maria, Alex went to the Team Rocket shop center.
At the Team Rocket shop center, you can not only buy Pokémon but also exchange Team Rocket Points for Pokédollars.
Earning money is the prerequisite for Alex's next plan, which is already a success since now he has a lot of TR points. So he went into the direction of the Team Rocket Shop.
After 15 minutes, Alex left the Team Rocket Shop with 200,000 Pokédollars. 1 Team Rocket point is worth 1 Pokédollar.
Normally you have to pay a 5% commission on the money you are exchanging. But because Alex is a Team Rocket Captain he doesn't have to pay this 5%.
Alex wasn't afraid of withdrawing so much money at once because nobody would be so stupid to attack a Team Rocket captain for so little money.
Team Rocket Captain are prominent members of Team Rocket. If such a member does not respond, an elite team of Team Rocket member is usually called in to investigate why this Team Rocket Captain is missing.
Alex then leaves the Team Rocket base and makes his way to the black market of Pewter City.
Every big city has a black market that is ignored by the Alliance with a half-opened eye. Alex doesn't know why the Alliance ignores the existence of the black market, but he doesn't want to know either. If strength is not enough, then knowing too much can be deadly.
The Pewter City Black Market is controlled by two criminal organizations. Team Rocket and the Hunter Guild. Of course, there are also smaller organizations that have little influence in Pewter City. But Team Rocket and the Hunter Guild are the big players in Pewter City.
The Hunter Guild is an organization that buys and sells Pokémon. This organization has many members who catch Pokémon for the Hunter Guild and have a partnership with Team Rocket and other small criminal organizations.
Team Rocket is the most powerful criminal organization in this world and has a share of control in almost every black market in Kanto and Johto.
Compared to Team Rocket, the Hunter Guild is less influential in the whole world, but is very strong in Kanto and has a share of control in many black markets in Kanto with Team Rocket. Also, with a good relationship with Team Rocket, the Hunter Guild is the second largest criminal organization in Kanto and should not be underestimated.
Of course, there are also many stalls with Pokémon trainers who sell cheaper Pokémon here in the black market than Team Rocket or the Hunter Guild. But although these Pokémon are often sold at a lower price in the stalls, most people still buy Pokémon from Team Rocket or the Hunter Guild.
The reason why people prefer to buy the expensive Pokémon from Team Rocket or the Hunter Guild is that the Pokémon sold from the Pokémon trainer is often the Pokémon whose potential you cannot determine.
In this world, only the potential machine can determine the potential of a Pokémon (with Silver or higher potential, you can also find it out by seeing if a Pokémon can use a move that it normally cannot learn). But unfortunately, this machine has a 10 % error rate, where it cannot determine the potential of Pokémon. You can also repeat the test with the same Pokémon, but you would have to use 10 times the resources for the potential machine to be able to repeat the test. So that repeating the test costs 10 times as much (and the original price of 500 Pokédollars is already ridiculously high for ordinary trainers). Almost no trainer wants to pay more than a Bronze Pokémon for a repeated improved talent test. These Pokémon are often sold at the stands and therefore are very unpopular.
Most trainers do not want to play the lottery with their Pokémon choices and prefer to buy Pokémon, so they already know what talent they have.
The reason why Alex was going to the black market is that he has found a sure way to earn money here and to see if a suitable Pokémon can be found here. Alex has the feeling that his team lacks a tank that can absorb the damage for the team. That's why he wanted to go to the black market and see if he could buy a suitable Pokémon for his team. He also has to buy a Ditto to change his identity at will and to work for his plan to make safe money. Of course, the main reason he found a good way to make money safely is because of Ditto.
Alex thought about how he can make money and came up with a brilliant idea.
The plan has 5 steps:
1: You buy Ditto and make sure it listens to you.
2: You prepare 3 different suits. Team Rocket member uniform, Team Rocket elite member uniform and Team Rocket captain uniform.
3: swap your face and clothes while you Pokémon buy all the Silver Pokémon that are sold too low by their trainers. For example, a Silver Pokémon is sold for the price of a Bronze Pokémon.
4: go to the Hunter Guild and Team Rocket (in the black market) and sell 3 Silver Pokémon in a Team Rocket captain uniform, 2 Silver Pokémon with an elite member uniform, and 1 Silver Pokémon with a uniform. Also, wait 1 day and change your face between the uniforms. If everything goes according to plan, you can sell 12 Silver Pokémon relatively safely within three days.
5: With Silver Pokémon, this organization almost always wants to have its potential tested, unless it is sold by a member of their organization like Alex in Team Rocket. If the Hunter Guild or Team Rocket wants to test the talent of the Pokémon and the normal test has failed, buy the repeated improved test that costs 10 times as much from the potential machine and then sell the Silver Pokémon. Also, say "you've seen these Pokémon in the wild how it used a move that it usually couldn't learn" so you can explain why you were willing to pay such a high price for a Pokémon where you don't know the talent.
Alex came up with this plan after thinking about it for a long time to earn money easily and safely. He uses the system advantages to get rich with relative safety.
He's not stupid enough to sell Pokémon where nobody knows the talent in Team Rocket without changing his identity.
If he just sells Pokémon in a Team Rocket, Lisa will quickly find out about it and ask questions that he cannot answer.
Where did Alex Suddenly get 12 Silver Pokémon that were all Silver after a repeated improved test?
Lisa would probably get very curious how Alex knows that these Pokémon are Silver Pokémon and if she finds out with a little thought that Alex has the ability to identify Pokémon talent, Alex will be allowed to spend his life in a luxury prison. Probably she would overwhelm Alex with beautiful women and delicious food (make Alex happy so that he does not commit suicide) so that he can continue to find out the talent of Pokémon for her, but Alex does not want to have such a life. He doesn't want to lose his freedom for luxury.
