27.27% Pokémon: The Ultimate Sign In System / Chapter 3: Making Things Difficult!

Capítulo 3: Making Things Difficult!

The first thing Galen did was fix up his advertisement sign to write what he was selling. He listed everything he was selling, but he didn't put the prices up.

Galen made sure to write that the poster could be inaccurate because these things might be sold out by then. 

Afterward, he went outside and placed the sign into the Unit Five slot. On these sign boards, it displayed what each unit was selling.

Galen wrote out tags that display their prices. Afterward, he placed them behind the display glass neatly—along with the items. 

----

-Pokéball = ₽12, Leafstone = ₽5,000, Waterstone = ₽5,000, Firestone = ₽5,000, Thunderstone ₽5,000, Moonstone ₽7,500, Link Cable ₽8,000, 

----

Galen decided to sell the Pokéball at its current market price. This price was too high, but the price had gone up to this, over the years.

Once a Pokéball failed to capture a Pokémon, it would break and become useless. Unless you were a crafter, the Pokéball had no hope of restoration. 

Galen didn't plan on selling all his Pokéballs, just thirty of them. After all, Pallet Town didn't have a Pokémart or other places that sold them. The only way to get Pokéballs in this town was from Professor Oak.

Galen also put a note on the glass just in case of certain circumstances. 

Thank goodness, this place comes with service bells just in case I'm not paying attention.

"Now, let's check my other items now that I'm alone." Galen hadn't gotten the chance to check his other rewards.

"System, can you hear me?" Galen called out to the system.

"... ..."

However, his calls fell on deaf ears, it had ignored him!

"So it's like that." Galen's eyebrows knitted.

It seemed that this system wasn't sentient, or simply didn't care to talk to him. Galen couldn't be bothered to think about it for long, as his attention converged elsewhere.

"Five Rare Candies, that's Five levels for a Pokémon. This item is harder to acquire than the stones, so I won't sell them."

Galen inspected the Rare Candies with his Eye Of Arceus. He found that there was a powerful thick blue aura around them. 

It was so strong that people who couldn't see aura could see some small fluctuations.

"No wonder this thing can level up a Pokémon unconditionally once consumed. The aura within this item is simply nothing to joke about." 

Galen's eyes widened not only due to the aura but also because of the warmth of the Rare Candy. 

"Dang, I can use these as warmth pads if I ever get cold." Galen smiled and stroked his chin.

If any trainer heard Galen's words, they probably would want to beat him to death and grind his bones into powder!

Use a Rare Candy as a warmth pad!

Ridiculous! 

The next item Galen checked was the mysterious Ascension Fruit. Such an item wasn't in the games or animated series, so it was likely something exclusive to the system.

This Ascension Fruit could fit well into Galen's palm, so they weren't that big. They were chromatic gold as if someone had painted them. The stems of these fruits were purple with golden stripes.

"Hey, I saw the sign for unit Five, are you really... by Arceus, you're selling them!"

Just as Galen was about to inspect the fruit description, he heard a voice filled with inpatients and anxiety.

Galen looked up to see a boy around Fourteen or Fifteen years of age. He wore glasses and his expression was that of surprise.

"You're wearing glasses, right? You can see for yourself." Galen said dully. 

"You..." The boy was speechless, but he could indeed see them for himself. There was even a sign outside that showed that he was selling these items. 

"I didn't bring that much money, I need to go back and gather some cash. Can you reserve a Leafstone for me?"

The boy asked with hope.

"No. Read the sign, first come first serve. No reservations, I don't have time to wait on people who don't have the money at face value."

Galen shook his head and denied him.

"Damn it! I'll be back!" The boy didn't have time to argue and bargain, he quickly ran down the hallway and left. 

Just as the glasses boy left, three people came from down the way.

"Crazy bastard, watch where you're going you crazy fool!" Galen heard a furious shout from down the hall.

"Sorry!" The glasses apologized but rushed out after saying his peace. 

"It's that damned nerd Westley. His face is always in a book and he wants to be a Pokémon Master, what a joke?" 

One of the boys voiced his contempt for the boy, he almost lashed out by punching him in anger.

"Colton, forget about him. He was excited and in a hurry, he probably didn't even recognize you."

The one who spoke was a girl and she wore a light blue skirt. She had delicate features and her age appeared to be around thirteen or fourteen.

"Hehe, I guess I can forgive that loser for my lovely Natalie," Colton said with affection.

"I told you not to talk to me like that," Natalie said coldly, she hated being around this guy.

"We're not here for this, we're here to get our hands on some rare stones. That sign said that the items might be sold out, so it wasn't accurate."

His name was Nathan and he was Natalie's older brother.

"I hope this guy isn't running a scam, or else." Colton's tone was filled with warning and threat.

Galen sneered, they had spoken loudly like this on purpose. If they didn't have the funds to purchase anything, he would ruthlessly send them off.

"So this is the Unit Five." Almost immediately, they saw the items on display. 

"I want to buy a Moonstone!" Natalie's eyes widened with joy when she saw the Moonstone behind the glass.

"Huh? You're that loser who lives on the edge of Pallet Town! How could a loser like you sell such items?"

Colton gazed upon Galen with eyes filled with disdain. Not only was his family poor and struggling, but Galen and his other siblings had failed to enter the Regulation Guild.

"If you're here to insult and not buy, then scram the hell out of here! I don't have time for idiots, time is money."

Galen naturally remembered this guy from the previous owner's memories. This guy and the other children of Pallet often ridiculed him and his siblings.

His dislike for Colton was natural.

"You! How dare a poor ghost like you talk to me like that?!" Colton was furious and almost jumped over the counter to attack Galen.

Colton was bigger than the average kid his age and appeared to work out often. 

"Hey, what's going on here? You guys better not be fighting, or we'll kick you out!" A security guard came over after hearing the ruckus.

Colton immediately quieted down, this place was also supported by the Pokemon Alliance. Anyone starting trouble could be banned permanently.

A cold light flashed in Colton's eyes, how dare this lowly scum go against him?!

"Colton! Don't cause any trouble! If you get us banned, I'll let you know what trouble is!" Natalie warned Colton gravely, this guy was too much of a troublemaker.

"Yes, yes, my mistake, hehe!" Colton laughed it off, but his heart was burning with anger.

The security officer saw that the situation was tamed and didn't act. However, he remained on stand-by when he saw that Colton seemed to be a troublemaker. 

"Sir, me and brother wish to purchase a Moonstone each, thank you."

Natalie saw that the price was higher than the market value. However, she wasn't upset, she understood the demand for this stone was high so the price would naturally rise.

"Alright. Are you guys paying together or separately?" Galen smiled and asked.

"Together." Nathan nodded and said.

He was secretly happy to get his hands on a Moonstone, this was his greatest worry. Nathan wanted to evolve his Nidoran male fully in the future, and this item was essential.

Nathan took off his backpack and placed it on the counter before going through it. Afterward, he pulled out two stacks of 100 Pokédollar bills. 

These banknotes were blue with star-like designs on them. This banknote also had the face of a Jirachi on it. There were 7 banknotes in this world and this was the currency for the whole world.

There was the ₽1 with Rhydon on it, the ₽5 with Manaphy on it, ₽10 with Victini on it, ₽20 with Shaymin on it, ₽50 with Celebi on it, ₽100 with Jirachi face on it, and the ₽1,000 with Mew's face it.

 

As they were doing this, Galen pretended to go to the backroom and retrieve the Moonstones. Nathan didn't hesitate and handed Galen [One-Hundred Fifty] 100 Pokédollar banknotes. 

Galen made sure to count the money before handing the Moonstones to them.

"Oh, thank you so much!" Natalie was overjoyed, as she inspected the Moonstone.

It was the real deal!

"No problem, only business." She wasn't the only one overjoyed, but so was Galen. This was equivalent to 15,000 dollars in his old world, and he earned it so easily. 

Galen knew that these two siblings came from a rich family in Pallet. Their parents owned many acres of land where they cultivated vegetables, fruits, and berries. These goods were shipped everywhere around Kanto, which made the family a killing. 

Colton scoffed in his heart, he couldn't figure out how this bum got so many treasures. 

What if he could steal all of his goods for himself? Colton thought sinisterly.

"Are you buying anything, or are you just here to window shop?" Galen was blunt and dull, but one could hear the sarcasm in his voice.

"Of course, I have money. I'm also here to purchase an item." Colton maintained his composure and said calmly.

"What will it be?" Galen asked expressionlessly.

"I want the Link Cable." Colton reached into his waist bag and proceeded to retrieve his money. 

Again, he pretended to head to the back to retrieve the item. Once Galen came back, the money was laid out on the counter.

Eight 1,000 Pokédollar banknotes were sitting on the counter when he returned. The 1,000 Pokédollar banknote was purple and had Mew's face on it. 

"Oh, this isn't enough." Galen grinned as his eyes formed into crescents. 

"What? What do you mean, not enough? This is clearly ₽8,000, can't you count?" Colton frowned, was Galen trying to make things difficult for him?

"Oh, that price. Sorry, this price is now ₽16,000 for a Link Cable." Galen blinked in succession as if Colton should have known this already. 

"What?! Sixteen-thousand! Why don't you rob it?! The price clearly states that it's 8000 Pokédollars, why did it go up so suddenly?!"

Colton couldn't hold it in anymore, and he exploded with fury. He knew for sure that Galen was making things difficult for him.

"The price went up because of inflation, that's all. The economy can shift like that sometimes, and the shift just started."

Galen explained calmly.

'You cause me trouble outside and then you come into my store causing trouble? Hehe, I'll show you something about causing trouble.'

Galen's thoughts were full of laughter and mockery. 

"Colton, you better calm down and stop being loud." Natalie harrumphed and said. She was happy seeing his miserable state. He was the one who started this conflict in the first place

Colton's face was changing into all sorts of colors, but when he turned toward the security guard. He was staring at him with an expression that seemed to be saying, 'You better shut up or else.'

Colton gritted his teeth before pulling out an extra ₽8,000 and handing it to Galen.

"Phew, and here I thought you were just some poor window-shopping ghost. I'm sorry that I misjudged you." Galen humbly apologized with a sincere smile before accepting the money.

Pfft!

Nathan and Natalie couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into laughter.

Colton quickly took his Link Cord and left the mini store. His expression was ashened with anger. 

'You little bastard, just you wait!'

Capítulo 4: Great Harvest!

Galen could see the aura of any living being, so he knew Colton's intentions weren't good. This was from the time he had arrived and from the time he left.

There were rumors that Colton had joined the [Black Sand Gang]. After all, Colton used a Geodude, so some say this was where he received his starter.

The [Black Sand Gang] was stationed around Viridian City, especially Pewter City. There were many complaints filed about young trainers being robbed and even killed mysteriously.

There was no doubt that the Link Cord was for his Geodude later down the line.

"I advise you to be careful in the future. Colton is a very narrow-minded person, he'll definitely seek revenge sooner or later."

Nathan turned to Galen and warned him of the possible dangers. 

"I'll keep that in mind." Galen nodded and continued. "By the way, do the both of you mind showing me your Pokémon?" 

Galen wanted to inspect a Pokémon for the very first time. This was also to test something about his eyes—to see if statuses were true. 

"Uh, sure, we have no problem with that, but can we bring out our Pokémon here?" Nathan turned toward the security guard before gazing back at Galen.

"Sure. I want to inspect your Pokémon. There's no hostility, so naturally, you're not banned from bringing it out."

Both siblings looked at each other before taking the shrunken Pokéball off each of their waists.

"Come out Nidoran," Both siblings said in unison.

Ni~

Ni~

Galen stared at both Nidoran in amazement before smirking.

'Pokémon are amazing!' After these initial thoughts, he used his ability to inspect them.

_____

<Name: Nidoran♂

<Type: Poison

<Level: 8

<Nature: Jolly

<Aptitude: E

<Ability: Poison Point

<Moves: Leer, Poison Sting, Peck, Double Kick, Iron Tail(Egg),

_____

'It's true, I can really see the status of a Pokémon!' Galen could see everything from its moveset to aptitude.

'It's like an RPG setting as it is in the game, this is simply amazing.' Rpg's were his favorite type of gaming setting.

Judging from its ability [Poison Point], it was best not to touch this Pokémon. Even if Nidoran didn't hold any hostility toward you, this ability couldn't be controlled. 

'It's aptitude is at E-level? Is this good, or is it the worst possible outcome? It sounded bad, anything at this rank for any novel was terrible, but how bad was it?' Galen hadn't realized that he had been staring at Nidoran♂ for a while.

Both Nidoran gazed at Galen with wary eyes—why was this human staring at them like that? However, if Galen had any bad intentions and touched them, then he would be in for a surprise.

Unfortunately for them, Galen could see their abilities and wouldn't dare touch them without protection.

The Nidoran♀ had the same ability and moves as the male. The only difference was her nature, which was that of the Calm nature. 

"These two Nidoran are siblings from the same litter, right?" Galen looked to Nathan and Natalie for clarification.

"Yes, they come from the same litter, so they're brother and sister." Natalie and Nathan were stunned and said. 

How did Galen figure it out?

It was beyond obvious for several reasons to Galen that they were siblings. 

"Alright, I have another favor. Your parents own several acres of land and sell berries, right?"

"Yes, our parents have them shipped out around Kanto. Do you have any interest in purchasing some berries? If you do, then you can just go to a local store and buy them."

Natalie nodded and confirmed.

Galen went on to explain that he wanted them to sell them to him directly for a good price. He hoped that they could gather certain berries and bring them to him.

Galen knew that certain berries weren't sold in Pallet. Only berries that were primarily used for food, such as Sitrus and Oran berries, etc.

They both understood that Galen wanted serious types of berries and agreed. Galen wrote down a list of berries he wanted and the quantity for each one. 

"We can have these berries all gathered by tomorrow." Nathan checked the list and said.

"Perfect. I'll be setting up tomorrow as well, so I'll see you then." Galen sent the siblings off with a kind gesture.

"I wanted to ask them about aptitudes, but too many questions may make me look stupid. I'll ask someone at the Alliance Branch about it. They're more than willing to answer my questions if I have any." 

Galen checked the money he had made 30 minutes into setting up shop. He couldn't help but smile, this was truly the best outcome.

31,000 Pokédollars! 

Afterward, Galen went back to checking the items he had acquired. The item he didn't know about was the Ascension Fruit.

-𝐀𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭: A Mysterious Fruit from another realm. This fruit unconditionally raises the aptitude of any Pokémon by one rank. 

Galen immediately knew that this fruit was special and absolutely couldn't be revealed to the public.

The only thing Galen knew about aptitude was that you could raise it through certain means. One was through a strict nutritious diet, vitamin drinks such as Protein, Iron, etc.

Certain items would help as well, such as Steelix consuming rich metals—such as Metal Coats. Though its aptitude wouldn't rise to the next level right away, it would over time if this diet was consistent. 

However, Metal coats were even rarer than the evolutionary stones, so who could have such a supply?

"I need to get a Pokémon, the sooner the better." Galen didn't plan on staying here from 7 a.m. until the market's closing time.

"I'll stay until 1 p.m. before closing down my stall." He already made so much money today with three sales, this in itself, was good enough. 

Galen silently waited alone, he could hear other stalls next to him selling things. They were selling summer clothes, umbrellas, etc.

Galen went over and purchased an umbrella for this rainy season. This umbrella was black and had Umbreon on it.

"Gwen said it was supposed to start raining around 12:00 p.m. or 12:10 p.m. today." One could say that this umbrella came at the right time. 

Unfortunately, Galen had to break a 100 Pokédollar bill. Once again, he sat down and waited patiently and comfortably in his chair. 

Time passed as the market started to gain a series amount of traffic. More customers came in and purchased some stones.

A middle-aged man purchased one Thunderstone and Firestone before leaving satisfied.

Eventually, another middle-aged man walked over. He was wearing a formal black suit, his eyes were sharp and serious.

The man asked for one of each evolutionary item Galen had. He paid Galen with nothing but ₽1000 banknotes.

The man was generous and gave Galen a tip by letting him keep the change of ₽500! Galen was overjoyed, this was the happiest he'd felt in a while.

The formally dressed man was also here to test if Galen was selling real items. If his items were fake, he would have been apprehended immediately. 

The formally dressed man left satisfied after confirming that the goods were real. There were some people running scams in the past, which got them thrown in jail for a long time. 

This man wasn't simple!

"Hey, hey... pant... do you still have the Leafstone on sale?" Just as Galen was lavishing to himself, he heard a familiar voice

"Oh, you're that glasses kid from earlier. It took you this long to get the money, or do you still not have it?"

This kid was his first customer, but he didn't have the funds on him last time. 

"No! I have the money, so I'm wondering if they're still being sold." Westley adjusted his glasses and asked anxiously.

"Oh, no, we're fresh out. If only you had come sooner. Well, not everyone can be a winner, maybe next time." Galen sighed and said playfully, as his eyes formed in crescents.

"What?! No way, they've been sold out that fast?!" Westley almost blacked out when he heard the news.

"Haha, just kidding, I still have some up for sale. The price is still the same as it was in the morning."

Galen was amused seeing Westley's reaction, he reminded him of a kid he knew back in high school.

"Oh, my goodness! I thought I was going to have a heart attack!" Westley was scared nearly to death hearing the news.

 Galen reached under the counter and 'pulled' out a Leafstone.

Westley was elated and quickly exchanged for it. He had begged his parents for this money, so they went to the bank to withdraw the money.

They had been saving this money for him since he was an infant.

Galen accepted the money, but he couldn't guess who he would use the stone on. It was none of his business, so he didn't ask.

Galen only knew it had to be either Oddish, Bellsprout, Eevee, or Exeggcute.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate this." Westley thanked Galen sincerely, this, like the ones after him were worried about evolution stones.

"No problem, just business." Galen smiled and said his usual line.

"Nonetheless, I will remember this reward." Westley left soon after.

With Westley gone, Galen could now hear the rain outside. It was already 12:31 p.m., so the time for him the leave nearing. 

They still had some decent traffic, but not as much as it normally had. This was for obvious reasons, but it was okay to Galen since he'd already made so much. 

"Hehe, I've made 81,992 Pokédollars in almost Five hours! If it was this easy to make money back in my old world, life would have been so much easier."

Originally, Galen had made ₽82,000 but he spent ₽8 on an umbrella.

Time passed, but no matter how much time passed—Galen couldn't stop looking at his money. 

The time finally ended, it was time for him to leave. Galen spoke to the owner and booked the same unit for tomorrow. He had to pay double to reserve his unit, which was no problem for him.

Arriving so early in the morning was troublesome to Galen, so he chose to open shop at 9 a.m. the next day.

Galen bought two more umbrellas and three raincoats, which were for his sister and brother. As for the extra raincoat, it was for him. Of course, he bought the matching Umbreon raincoat that went with his umbrella. 

The owner said he would take down Galen's sign, so he didn't have to worry about it.

Afterward, Galen left the scene, but what he didn't know was—someone had arrived as the sign was being taken down.

"Hey, what's going on? Why are you taking that sign down? Have all the goods on that sign been sold out?"

"Huh?" The owner looked up to see three people gazing at him questioningly. There were two teen boys and one teen girl around fifteen or sixteen years of age.

"I don't think so." The owner shook his head.

"Then why are you taking it down?" The boy's expression didn't look so good.

Right as the owner was about to answer, another group of teens came over with questioning expressions.

'What the hell is going on?' The owner's mouth twitched fiercely under the glares of the teens.
