Alex trusted Steven. So he didn't wait for items and sent him the money through his TRH device. TRH device is just like Pokédex, so it wasn't a problem.

He didn't think that Steven would cheat on him. And paying money in advance also shows his trust in Steven. This kind of trust helps in making a relationship, such as this, even more solid.

Alex believed that Steven had enough experience and would know which items are the best for his Bastiodon.

3 hours later, Alex received the items Steven had sent him.

----------------

2x [Tooth] of an SS-rank Champion-level Bastiodon reinforced with Rock & Steel-type energy..

3x [Steel-Scale] by an SS-rank Champion-level Aggron reinforced with Steel-type energy.

5x [Steel-Scale] by an S-rank Champion-level Skarmory reinforced with Steel-type energy.

5x Top-Old Amber.

10x Top-Rock Gem.

10x Top-Steel Gem.

----------------

Alex knows about [Top-Rock Gem] and [Top-Steel Gem]. These are consumable items that can improve the potential of Rock and Steel-type Pokémon.

Steven sent him not only 20 of these gems but also items of an SS-rank Champion-level Bastiodon, filled with both Rock & Steel-type energy.

Such an item should be sellable for at least 10 million and was the optimal item for Bastiodon, who wanted to achieve the Shallow Diamond talent.

Alex was very satisfied with the items Steven had sent him. Though he was not entirely sure about why he sent him [Top-Old Amber].

He knows [Old Amber] from the games. But in this world, it has no actual use for Pokémon, at least, not the one he knows.

Although Alex knew a lot about the items in the world, he doesn't know everything.

Alex checked information on the internet but found nothing.

That wasn't really surprising, but Alex still wanted to give it a try.

In the Pokémon world, knowledge is extremely precious and can almost never be acquired for free. Only general knowledge can be found on the internet.

Although a few people on the internet share information from time to time, it is seldom the case that they are correct.

If you know a very good training method for a certain Pokémon—or even type—it can ensure that your family produces several generations of strong trainers, with some of them achieving a high post like Gym Leader.

Alex thinks that this limitation of knowledge for Pokémon trainers from the Elites is the reason why there are so many stupid trainers in this world. Maybe it would be more appropriate to call them ignorant or brainwashed.

Due to the propaganda that does not let them know of the brutal and dangerous side of the world, trainers do not understand the danger they are in. The Alliance promotes being a trainer. Which leads to many young trainers on the route of adventure. But once again, due to the lack of knowledge, they are not strong enough yet. This causes them to encounter a situation for which they are not prepared, leading to their death.

Not to mention, despite there being enough basic knowledge accessible for free, very few Pokémon trainers use it because of the propaganda.

Alex is sure that if the Alliance were to stop the whole shit with "Pokémon are friends" propaganda and show the raw & real side of the world to the community, the death rate would undergo a razor-sharp drop.

But Alex believed that there was no way that Alliance would do it even though numerous young trainers die every year. Since they gain a huge net amount of trainers. If they were to stop the propaganda, sure, the dying trainers will decrease. But Pokémon trainer won't be such a coveted job anymore.

Bastiodon, who had seen the items, was waiting eagerly for Alex. But he started losing his patience a bit when he noticed that Alex was deep in thought again.

Scizor watched Bastiodon getting restless and said, "Kid, if you don't wake that dreaming fool, he'll be thinking about things all day."

Bastiodon heard the words and said with hesitation, "But... Wouldn't it be really rude if I disturb father when he is like that? What if he is thinking about something important?"

Crobat, who was also listening, started laughing, "Haha, good joke."

Alex, who heard Crobat laughing loudly, stopped thinking and saw all the Pokémon looking at him.

"*cough* Okk..... Hm, why are you looking at me like that?"

Crobat started laughing out loud again. He said as he tried to control his laughter, "Oh, don't worry. We're laughing with you, not at you. Haha!" In the end, he couldn't control himself and started laughing again.

Alex gave a cold stare to Crobat. "I see. Crobat, if you already have so much energy, why don't we increase your training time for today."

Crobat instantly stopped laughing and muttered, "Can't even take a joke."

Alex, who didn't quite hear what Crobat said, just looked at Crobat with a deadpan face.

He wasn't really mad at Crobat, and he had planned to train Crobat only 10 minutes longer today. Alex just wanted to tease Crobat a little.

After annoying Crobat a little, he sent Steven a message.

"Yo, Steven. I wanted to ask you something. What is the use of the Top-Old Amber you sent me?"

"You don't know? I thought it was an open secret for all Elite trainers."

"Apparently not that open."

"These Top-Old Amber can improve the potential of Rock-type Pokémon item if it is consumed by the Pokémon before using the Rock-type Pokémon item.

It only works for one item, and effectiveness decreases with the repeated use of it. So I would recommend that you use one Top-Old Amber per item.

It is best to use the Aggron and Bastiodon items together with the Top-Old Amber to get the maximum benefit out of it."

Alex, who understood how much care Steven had taken in picking out items, felt that he was a friend worth cherishing.

"Steven, How much is the info for using Top-Old Amber?"

"I don't need your money, Alex."

"What? I didn't mean that."

"Haha, do you think I don't know what you're trying to do? Don't worry, the information costs less than 100,000 Pokédollar."

"By the way, Steven, how expensive are these Top-Old Amber."

"Ahh... not as expensive as you may think.

"Alex, I have an appointment. So, I'll be going now," messaged Steven as his status soon turned into "offline."

Alex realized that Steven had interpreted this intent immediately, and he didn't want to answer that. He had the feeling that these Top-Old Amber are not as cheap as Steven told.

He checked the internet and found the last Top-Old Amber was sold for 2.5 million at one auction.

Alex immediately started calculating the prices of his items in his head. (12 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 9 + 6.)

When Alex calculated the minimum prices for all items, he came up with a total value of 57 million. It is likely that Steven paid 60 or maybe even 65 million for these items.

Alex felt that Steven really was his true friend. He started thinking about how he can make up for this favor in the future for Steven.
