Chương 88: Transaction
The captain of the Garrison group is a man in his mid thirties. He has blue wavy hair and sharp green eyes. He has a scar over his left eye which covered half his face. His name was Alfred Mars.
He used to be a treasure Hunter before settling in Floral town after marrying the only daughter of the richest man in Floral town. He now owns 60% of the restaurants as well as most of private marts in Floral town and has an average income of few million pokedollars per year ( Now pokecoins will be regarded as pokedollars.)
He also worked with Alex's grandpa when he was young so he often visits his grandpa and chat with him so he wasn't a stranger to the family.
This time he visited with another famous person of the town the current mayor of Floral town , Terry Boot. He is almost 70 years old and has been the Mayor of the town for as long as Alex could remember.
" Alfred, Terry what are you doing here? Did you come to greet my grandson Happy birthday." Michael saw them and said laughing.
" You were in a hurry because of that." Alfred said surprised
" I didn't remember and they didn't reveal anything and told me to head back soon. I was afraid something bad happened and then I find it was nothing." Alex said shrugging.
All the Garrison members who came along with them were surprised that they were hyped up over something so small.
All thought so too but Gwen thought something very different," Nothing? You might think it as nothing but to me it is very important. I still remember how excited you were about your birthday when you were five you woke up earliest and then come to wake everyone and then you asked everyone what you will get as a gift.
You were so cute and energetic back than and now you want to spoil my memory of those sweet memories by regarding it is nothing.
I didn't raise you so you could overlook the views and emotions of others especially your own mother. I knew I shouldn't have let you go on your journey too soon." And she started to sob over her son disregard of her feelings.
Seeing this, his Espeon nudged him over his mother to deal with her," Mom I am wrong. I will not do it again. You know what I will stay with you for a few days how, great isn't it?"
Her tears automatically stopped and she said enthusiastically," Really it's wonderful. But few days are way too less, how about a month?"
" But mom I still have to earn other gym badges."
" You already got three in four months. Now there are still a little over an year left for pokemon league and you could earn five more in seven or eight months without trouble with more than two months left to train for the league.
So you will stay here for a month."
" How about ten days?"
" Three weeks "
" But mom I still have to do some works for Prof Oak and so can't stay here long." Alex said earnestly.
" Fine two weeks and no less." She said strictly then looked at the guest who came and said ," Wait I will bring tea and snacks for you" and she headed inside.
" Mom has been really targeting me since I returned." He said softly
" You will leave soon so she wants to spend as much time as she could with you. After all if she knows about some of the most frequent dangers of travelling then she won't let you leave." His grandpa said jokingly
" I know."
" Your daughter-in-law is really something, Michael." Terry said
" I know "
" And congratulations young man at becoming an advance trainer as well as assistant professor at such a young age." he said to Alex.
" Thank you Mr. Boot"
" Call me Terry like your grandpa." he said
" ok."
" You really know how to cause trouble though Alex." Alfred said to Alex.
" Hey it was all mom's idea. "
" You could have ended the matter earlier by mentioning your grandpa and this problem would have ended way too soon." Alfred told Alex and wanted to Know why Alex didn't end it sooner.
Anyone who knows Alex knew he doesn't do anything without reason
" I wanted to talk to Grandpa Terry about buying land and thought this way I would also meet you so why not just go with the flow "
" Buy land?" Arthur asked," Is there any need to do so,Alex?"
" Yes Dad it is needed. I thought of having my Pokemon raised here so it is especially needed." Alex told.
" But why not in pallet town after all you joined Oak Laboratory and I don't think he would mind." Arthur asked puzzled along with Michael, Terry and Alfred.
" It is because of my Charmeleon" They followed his eyes and looked at the Charmeleon who stood straight while the young pokemons and Ben and Clara ran around him.
" He will evolve into Charizard within an year and there might be chances of conflict between mine and Professor's Charizard so I thought why not let raise them here.
As for protection I could borrow some Pokemon for a year or two from him for this and by that time my Pokemons will be strong enough to guard the place themselves." He explained while not revealing the reason for their conflict.
" This matter can be taken care of by the official at the municipality. They could do it well and you won't need me. If needed I could ask them to not delay in your matter " Terry said still not clear why Alex needed to talk to him.
" Indeed if it was just a land deal it won't matter but I want to buy a few hundred acres of land just outside the town's boundaries."
Alex said his desire.
" A few hundred acres. Alex do you know how costly the land is. Within Floral town per 1 square metre costs 1000 pokedollars and outside costs less around 100 pokedollars because we won't grant protection to outside places from wild pokemons.
but you should remember 1 acre is approx. 4000 square metres. So outside one acre will be about 400000 pokedollars and if hundreds it would be a few million pokedollars. And not including the cost of construction and maintaining it you would have to spend few million.
Although you are already an advance Trainer you should think careful before spending so extravagantly." Terry tried to educate Alex
All the Garrison members were stunned by such grand figure while Alfred looked at Alex wanting to find what he really wanted to do.
" Don't mind him Terry. Few million aren't much to this brat. He spent few hundred million on the diet of his pokemons so you should understand what his monetary strength is." Michael said condensing.
Both Alfred and Terry knew just how costly those diet were and Alfred himself only managed to buy a diet for his Golduck and he really felt it .
" Grandpa could handle these things and i don't have much money left. I already spent most on food ingredients so I can only invest around 50 million at most.
So grandpa will help me select a place a little away from Floral town with water resources nearby. I think place around the lake Poly will do. " He told and then he headed back home because he heard his mom shout of needing his help to bring tea and snacks out.
" Your son is really something.In just four months he got such wealth is really something " Alfred said to Arthur.
" Don't mention to Gwen but Alex has an encounter with Shadows of Johto and helped A student and a grandson of someone high in the league and he got rewards for it. So he was able to enter eyes of the league members and join the laboratory." Arthur mentioned.
They all nodded and thought this might be the case. Alfred knew Alex was talented with how he raised his older pokemons and he himself fought them before. This chance revealed his talent to higher ups and help him
" Ok Michael tomorrow I will visit you to confirm the position and the land deal. " Terry said finally.
Alex is buying land for his pokemons living there. How does this deal go and does it cause any problem? Stay tuned
