2 Transaction

It had been 15 years since he came to this magical world. Pushing his bicycle to stroll through the lively Viridian City, Hisoka couldn't help but feel a pang of loneliness in his heart. He still felt that he was out of tune with this world.

He was a top student majoring in mathematics and economics in his previous life. After graduating from the university with flying colors, he refused several high-paying job offers from many companies and chose to start his own business.

He worked hard for more than 20 years in the business industry. He had tasted failure, success, and another failure. In the end, he chose to sell all the company's shares and become a world traveler.

A plane accident later took his life. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had become a baby. What's worse is that he was abandoned at the front door of an orphanage on the day he was born.

He was later surprised to find that the Pokemon world that only exists only in anime is now right before his very eyes. Fortunately, the social care in this world is excellent. Therefore, orphaned children like him can live well without worries.

Orphans will start their six years of basic education at five years old, followed by another four years of vocational education.

They are free to choose whatever course they like, provided they have mastered the technical knowledge before leaving the orphanage at the age of sixteen.

The science in this world is roughly the same as in his previous world, only progressing in a completely different direction. It can even be said that the Pokemon world is far more advanced than the earth in certain branches, such as space and medical technology.

Hisoka chose medicinal material identification and berry tree planting for his studies during his stay in the orphanage. Although the medical technology in this world has been developed to the point where cancer can be easily cured, traditional medicine has not been eliminated yet. Many rare diseases can only be cured using traditional medicine. Therefore, the market for medicinal materials in this world is very prosperous.

Many of these precious materials can be found in the Viridian Forest, which leads to the high amount of medicinal material trade in Viridian City.

...

Spring & Summer Pharmacy Co.

Hisoka parked his bicycle at the front door and went inside the building. It was one of the oldest pharmacies in Viridiant City. He was mainly here to hand in the mission item they commissioned. They had entrusted the Pokemon Center to issue these kinds of tasks many times before. All trainers are able to accept the mission if they think they are good enough. Moreover, the rewards for handing in these items are quite generous.

"This is Arbok shed skin. And it's still a fresh one, not more than three days," A middle-aged fat man gently cut out a small piece with small silver scissors and put it in his mouth.

"It is bitter, but there is a bit of sweet aftertaste. This Arbok is definitely in his prime and healthy," he commented.

"Mister Reeves, let's get straight to the point," Hisoka sat on the swivel chair and tapped the counter lightly with his fingers.

"I can sell you all this skin. Give me a good price."

"Hmm."

The middle-aged fat man put a hand on his chin for a moment before saying, "Let me see. The market price of Arbok shed skin is around 20 Pokemon dollars per gram. This skin is only about three days old. Therefore, I will pay you a premium. The whole skin is 1200 grams, plus the previous 5000 dollar reward. The total is 35,000 dollars. Are you satisfied with this?"

"Yes," Hisoka nodded.

He still trusted the reputation of the well-known pharmacy, and there have been many exchanges between them. Although the man likes to bargain, his service is trustworthy.

He took out a green card with a red and white Pokeball pattern from his wallet and gave it to the man. This is the most common bank card issued by the Pokemon Alliance Commercial Bank for easy transactions.

...

It was completely dark outside when he finally walked out of the pharmacy. Viridian City is a suitable place for retirement and vacation. There are no high-rise buildings, and traffic congestion like most international metropolises do. Most of the local residents here are the elderly. However, due to the prosperity of the medicinal herb market, many herbalists and bounty hunters came here, making this city surrounded by forest a unique place and full of life.

After buying Ralt's favorite snacks and some daily essentials from the supermarket, Hisoka rode his bicycle back to his European-style villa in the suburbs. Viridian City is vast and sparsely populated, so the housing prices here are really low compared to Saffron City.

.........

After taking a bath, Hisoka walked into the study with Ralts in his arms and coaxed the little Pokemon to play on the side. Meanwhile, he sat on the chair and opened the laptop on the desk. As a top student in both lives, Hisoka was good at numbers and made full use of his advantages to train his Pokemon.

He opened an encrypted folder and double-clicked on one of the files. The first thing that appeared on the screen was a scaled-down 3D model of Ralts, and on the left side was her stats.

[Ralts]

HP: D

Physical attack: D

Defense: D

Special Attack: B

Special Defense: C

Speed: C+

Ralts was hatched from an unknown egg that Hisoka purchased from a poacher team two years ago. This kind of Pokemon egg of unknown origin is usually much cheaper than the market price, but it also costs him a lot of money. He had to accumulate funds for a whole year before finally managing to buy an egg.

Of course, he was lucky. This kind of Pokemon egg that may even hatch a common Rattata has finally hatched the psychic-type Pokemon Ralts, a rare Pokemon even in the Hoenn region.

After that, with the assistance of Ralts, Hisoka also embarked on the path of a bounty hunter. From the simplest collection of herbs and berries at the beginning to going deep into the Viridian forest and risking his life to find all kinds of rare medicinal plants with extremely high value.

One person and one Pokemon cooperated seamlessly, and in just two years, they had collected a large amount of money.

Money can open all doors. This sentence rang true in both worlds.

Money is not only a symbol of wealth but also represents resources and time. He can obtain better resources and train his Pokemon faster with lots of money.

Now that he has embarked on the path of a lone bounty hunter. Hisoka must consider his steps in every aspect, not only for himself but also for his Pokemon.

While thinking about this issue, Hisoka couldn't help but look back at the small Pokemon in the corner of the study. She was having fun, using her mind to control a doll as it hovered around her. The corner of his mouth rose slightly, and he turned around and started typing on the keyboard.

First of all, a powerful and comprehensive bounty hunter must have six Pokemon with different functions. The bounty hunter profession faced many dangers when they ventured into the wild, such as poisoning and wild Pokemons.

Their Pokemon lineup selection must complement each other to form a well-rounded and perfect battle group. Hisoka divided these six Pokemon into six roles according to their respective duties:

1st: Assassin (Has powerful physical attack and excellent agility and speed but lacks defense.)

2nd: Tanker (Has a huge size and amazing physical and special defense. The team's meat shield.)

3rd: Gunner (Has powerful skills and area-based damage skills.)

4th: Scout (Flying-type Pokemon.)

5th: Support (Temporarily served by Ralts.)

Six: Medical (Pokemon that can learn healing skills. The best choice is Chansey.)

This is the perfect team combination in Hisoka's mind. And the second Pokemon he desperately needs right now is the 1st role, an assassin.

He hasn't cultivated a second Pokemon before because of his lack of funds. Training psychic-type Pokemon is far more expensive than other Pokemon.

He trained Pokemon as his partner, who would fight side by side with him. Once he has selected a Pokemon, he will definitely provide them with the best care and treatment they can get.

Hisoka thought about his choices for a long time. What his team urgently needs right now is a Pokemon with the main output. The lack of this aspect also prevents him from taking some lucrative but risky missions.

Scyther eliminated!

Hisoka deleted the Pokemon's image and replaced it with a picture of a bluish-black, pointy-eared Pokemon that resembles both a cat and a weasel.
