Chapter 41

"It's fine, I'll take a look first and only buy when I see something satisfactory."

Su Yu nodded and said.

"Then please take your time, guest; just come over to pay once you find something you like."

The middle-aged shopkeeper rubbed his hands together, clearly very happy.

It had been a long time since any customers had visited his shop.

He hadn't expected to potentially complete two orders in a single day.

Su Yu then walked around the shop.

He stopped to observe in front of every Feebas.

He could see through them.

After observing for a while, Su Yu discovered a connection between a Feebas's beauty and its potential.

It seemed that Feebas with higher potential started with higher beauty stats.

Su Yu guessed that Feebas with high potential were simply more confident in themselves.

Thus, their beauty stats were much higher.

Like the Elite-potential Feebas the previous customer bought, their beauty stats were around 30.

As for Feebas with Gym Leader-level potential, their beauty stats were around 50.

As for the even higher Elite Four-level potential, there was only one such Feebas in this shop.

Its beauty stat was around 80.

Su Yu estimated that for a Milotic with Elite Four-level potential or higher, the beauty stat should be around 100.

In other words, for a Feebas reaching Elite Four-level potential, it only needed to gain another 70 beauty points to evolve.

Of course, the Feebas's strength also needed to reach the Elite level, meaning above level 20.

Su Yu knew very well how to increase a Feebas's beauty.

In this world, there was a berry called the Golden Pillow Berry.

It could increase the beauty of Pokémon.

After Pokémon ate too many of these berries, their skin and fur would become more beautiful.

Therefore, Coordinators often purchased them as a powerful tool to enhance their Pokémon's appearance.

054: Heading to the Capture Headquarters!

However, these berries were not cheap.

One jin cost over ten thousand Liang Liang Yuan!

One could say the Golden Pillow Berry was priced like gold; ordinary people could not afford it.

Su Yu believed that as long as he fed the Feebas more Golden Pillow Berries, its beauty would surely become sufficient.

Coupled with his experience acquisition skill, he could quickly raise the Feebas to the level required for evolution.

After walking around, apart from the one Feebas with Elite Four-level potential, all the others were extremely ordinary.

There was no possibility of evolution for them at all.

Even this Elite Four-level potential Feebas did not have very good individual values.

Its Special Attack individual value was relatively low; even if it evolved, its strength would be insufficient.

It simply could not be raised as a main team member.

Therefore, Su Yu was very disappointed.

"Forget it, none of the Feebas here satisfy me; let's go to another shop."

Su Yu said to the two women waiting nearby.

"Wait, don't leave, guest!" Seeing Su Yu about to depart, the shopkeeper became somewhat anxious.

"But your Pokémon are truly inadequate," Su Yu said, shrugging his hands.

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "Guest, actually, you can come with me to the Feebas capture site; we can go there and see if there is truly what you want."

The shopkeeper was going all out; he had finally gotten a customer who actually intended to buy.

How could he let him run away?

"Is that so?" Su Yu thought for a moment, then turned to look at Yan Ruyue and the other, "What do you two say?"

"We're fine with either way; we have nothing else to do anyway," Yan Ruyue said, noticing Su Yu's interest in going.

"Alright then, Boss, lead the way; let's go take a look," Su Yu made his decision.

Naturally, Su Yu very much wanted a Milotic.

After all, who wouldn't like a Pokémon that is both beautiful and capable in battle?

Leaving just like this left Su Yu somewhat unwilling to accept it.

With his Insight Eye, as long as he looked around more, he would definitely find something.

Seeing Su Yu agree, the shopkeeper was delighted.

He hurriedly led the three of them to the backyard, closed the shop door, got into his car, and set off with Su Yu and the others.

"Shopkeeper, don't you need to keep the shop open?" Su Yu asked somewhat puzzledly along the way.

"Sigh, you don't know, guest," the shopkeeper sighed. "People nowadays are becoming more and more knowledgeable, and fewer and fewer are buying Feebas."

"This month, including the previous person's order, I've only sold three Feebas. If this continues, I'm afraid the shop will go bankrupt."

The shopkeeper began to complain, "Especially now, everyone selling Feebas is under strict control by the League; if we can't sell them, we are the ones who keep losing money."

After the shopkeeper's explanation, Su Yu understood clearly.

As one of the few markets allowed to trade Pokémon, it was naturally subjected to the League's castrated supervision.

As one of the few markets where trading spirits is possible, it was naturally castrated and supervised by the Alliance.

Therefore, when selling Feebas, if they cannot be sold, one can only pay money back to the League.

Going back and forth like this, not only is no profit made, but money is actually lost.

Along the way, the shopkeeper also explained many details.

Before long, the car arrived at the destination the shopkeeper had mentioned.

"We've arrived; ahead is the Feebas catching ground, which is specially managed by the League."

"The Feebas shops in the surrounding several city districts all stock their goods from here."

After getting out of the car, the shopkeeper led Su Yu into a building covering several thousand square meters.

Inside this building, one side stored Magikarp, while the other side stored Feebas.

These Pokémon were all kept in water tanks, occasionally splashing about.

"Customer, you can take a look here; if you find any that satisfy you, just tell me, and I will contact the administrator for you."

The shopkeeper said this after leading them to the destination.

"Alright, then I'll take a look first," Su Yu nodded.

Thus, Su Yu began browsing once again.

It had to be said, this place was truly huge.

Just looking through it once would take quite a bit of time.

If not for Su Yu possessing the Eye of Appraisal, wanting to pick out Feebas with sufficient talent from so many would simply be wishful thinking.

After several hours of inspection, having completely toured the area, Su Yu was also quite exhausted.

However, fortunately, everything would be worth it.

Among so many Feebas, he had also discovered a few with decent talent.

Although their potential did not reach the 6IV Champion level, they already possessed 5IV Elite potential!
