READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 52: ch49
Spring City.
A large city in the southwestern region of the Dragon Kingdom, located on the plateau. The city experiences four seasons of spring, making it ideal for flowers, trees, and animals that thrive in warmth and humidity. It's also a city favored by grass-type Pokémon.
Although the Dragon Kingdom's national grass-type gym is located in Horizon City, run by Wendy and her father, the grass-type gym in Spring City holds the title of the second grass-type gym in the Dragon Kingdom.
Its owner is Erica, a young lady with a deep connection to nature.
On this day, Erica was sleeping soundly in her well-kept garden, surrounded by colorful flowers. The fragrant blooms attracted many insect and grass-type Pokémon.
"It's such a comfortable sleep," Erica mused, stretching and enjoying the tranquility.
As a provincial gym leader, Erica rarely had such leisure time, but after each battle, she chose to relax in the garden to ease her "tired" body and mind.
"Let's check out the Pokémon app and see if there are any beautiful grass-type Pokémon available," Erica thought.
Recently, Erica noticed that while her grass-type Pokémon were strong, they lacked a certain beauty. Ideally, she hoped to acquire a Shiny grass-type Pokémon.
"I heard that the young lady from the Wen family in Horizon City tamed a Shiny Nuzleaf. It's a pity it's not mine."
When Erica logged into the Pokémon app marketplace, she was immediately struck by a unique listing.
"Holy cow!" Erica exclaimed, sitting up and staring in disbelief at the special Pokémon on her phone.
"It's a Shiny Oddish!"
"An Oddish with pink leaves!"
"I'm going crazy!" Erica held her head, astonished. While Oddish is common, such a rare pink Shiny Oddish is likely one of a kind in the world.
Moreover, this pink and tender Oddish resembled a small radish and could undoubtedly become the face of her team and the gym!
"Buy!"
"Holy cow!"
"I must have it!"
The rarity of a Shiny, especially a pink Shiny Oddish, was incredible.
This probability. This rarity. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Erica felt that if she missed this chance, she might never again have the opportunity to own a pink Shiny Oddish.
"I'll pay whatever it takes!"
But when Erica clicked to buy, she was stunned.
Ten minutes after being listed, the Shiny Oddish had been snatched up by dozens of people, leading to fierce bidding.
The seller, known as "Flash Man," decided to change the sale to an auction.
Now, the number of bidders exceeded a thousand, with the price soaring to 30 million!
A full thirty million!
"Insane! Absolutely insane!" Erica lamented. "How is it possible that someone would pay thirty million for a Shiny Oddish?!"
Erica's heart sank. If she could, she would also bid 30 million. No, even 40 million!
As a gym leader with a passion for grass-type Pokémon, the allure was irresistible!
"This is when I need to call my dad," Erica sighed. She couldn't afford the 30 million yuan herself. If possible, she'd exchange dozens of Grass Badges with the seller, but that wasn't feasible.
And it wasn't just Erica. Across the Dragon Kingdom, Trainers, companies, and even Breeder houses who loved grass-type Pokémon or collected Shiny Pokémon were bidding fervently.
From an initial three million, the price skyrocketed to ten million, and in two hours, it reached an astounding thirty million.
This number shocked countless onlookers.
Everyone's jaws dropped.
"When did Shiny Oddish become so valuable?"
"A Pokémon that's a common weed on the roadside now has such worth! Unbelievable! Totally unbelievable!"
"Unbelievable, you say? Look at this Pokémon's appearance!"
"Pink, my friend! The only one in the world."
"If cultivated, it would be a perfect traffic Pokémon, a true girl magnet."
"I suspect 40 million might not be enough to win this Shiny Oddish!"
"Forty million?"
"I'm sticking around to watch."
"Pink Oddish! Front row seats."
"..."
This news quickly made headlines by noon that day.
#Pink Shiny Wonder!
#Shocking! Shiny Oddish on Pokémon App!
#Thirty Million for One Oddish!
…
Alex hadn't anticipated that selling a Shiny Oddish would cause such a stir.
Suddenly, his inbox was flooded with messages. Many came from people hoping to buy privately, asking Alex to take the listing down.
For instance, a well-known Breeder house offered 40 million, plus three houses to choose from. A large multinational company offered 35 million, along with any Attribute Pokémon.
Among them was Miss Erica, who pleaded earnestly, making Alex chuckle.
It's important to note that all Pokémon app accounts are registered with real names. In reality, everyone's identity is clearly indicated, with special markings in private messages.
For example, Erica's profile prominently displayed her title as a provincial gym leader!
As for other private messages, Alex ignored them, closing the app.
"The auction ends at six o'clock! Highest bidder wins," Alex declared.
He wasn't concerned. Just a Shiny Oddish. The next time Alex ventured into the secret realm, he'd use insect-attracting perfume to lure a group of Shiny Pokémon, selling them to build his reputation.
"With Shiny Oddish in demand, let's see how popular the silver Meowth will be," Alex mused, listing a silver Meowth as well.
For a while, the appearance of double Shiny Pokémon captivated most Trainers. Whether they came to watch the intense bidding or admire the special Shiny forms, it was a spectacle.
As for Alex, he remained relaxed, waiting to see how much he could earn by six o'clock that evening.
"It would be fantastic if the Shiny Talisman refreshed next time!"
