Pokemon: Master Of Tactics

Alex came out of the hotel and immediately took a path to the Pokémon shopping center of Celadon City.

The Celadon shopping center was built specifically to be able to fulfill every wish of trainers. Of course, the trainers should have the necessary amount of money for it.

Although Alex can also sell the items at the Team Rocket black market, he can earn more money at the Celadon shopping center. Many valuable items are sold here for good prices every day, so it is the first choice for any trainer who wants to sell items.

In addition, if he sells the items here, he can indirectly show the Alliance how he makes money. And since he may buy items for a lot of money in the auction, he should have a proper explanation to not become unnecessarily suspicious. Although the Alliance will likely think that he has the money from selling Pokémon, it's better to show the Alliance that he is a 'good guy' and doesn't take advantage of the Alliance's gray areas (too much).

Alex was standing in front of the Celadon shopping center and couldn't help but be impressed by this stylish skyscr.a.p.er. The sky-blue glass walls looked ill.u.s.trious with the unique shape of the building. It would be an impressive building even in Alex's world.

In front of the building were 2 bodyguards, standing in black suits together with their Pokémon. Both of these Pokémon were Elite Pokémon, which surprised Alex a bit. Although the two Pokémon were only at level 41 and 40, Elite is still Elite.

"Having Elite trainers as door guards is really a luxury."

Alex, who knows that only Alliance trainers could enter this building, took out his ID when he stepped in front of the 2 bodyguards.

One of the two guards looked at Alex's Id and, after a few seconds, nodded and continued looking ahead again.

Alex, who entered the building, saw a luxurious reception room with two beautiful women standing there. Together with the professional smile and the stylish suit, this reception room created a good atmosphere.

"Welcome to the Celadon shopping center. What can we do for you, Sir?" When Alex reached the reception table, one of the two women spoke without losing the professional smile.

Although the two looked very good, Alex didn't feel any particular charm impressing him. He had the feeling that the two looked a lot worse than Maria.

Alex said emotionlessly, "I want to sell some valuable items. The rough worth is several million."

One of the women saw Alex's expression and said without changing face in a warm tone, "Sir, if it's above 1 million, you need to negotiate with the manager. I'll call him right away. One moment, please."

Alex simply nodded. He walked away so the next person in line could take his turn and sat down in a nice chair.

Although this building is only accessible to trainers, more than 1 trainer comes every 3 minutes on average. Most Alliance trainers are between relatively to extremely rich. So you can just imagine the turnover of this Shopping center.

Alex got up after seeing the man looking in his direction.

The man showed a small smile when he saw Alex and slowly walked towards Alex.

"Welcome to the Celadon shopping center. I am the manager of section 3, Jack."

Jack stood in front of Alex and politely put his hand out.

"Hi, I'm Alex. I want to sell some of my items here." Said Alex as he shook hands with Jack.

The smile on Jack's face grew a bit more, and he nodded his face as if he had confirmed something.

"I thought you looked similar. You are Alex Stark, the winner of the Kanto Rookie tournament. Pleased to meet you. I am glad to finally be able to talk to such a talented trainee."

"Thanks, Jack. I'm also happy to finally be able to visit the Celadon shopping center. It really is a place that every trainer must visit."

Jack seeing the chance of having a future Gym leader as a friend, gave Alex a friendly smile as he led him to his office. For Jack, Alex is a chance to make bigger deals in the future to earn more money.

If Alex builds a good relationship with Jack, it can be beneficial for both parties and not just for Jack.

Alex will definitely get a discount and a chance to buy rare items here first. Win-win is an optimal relationship with long-term business partners for Alex.

After Alex and Jack walked through various luxury rooms with several items and trainers looking around, he finally arrived in front of Jack's office.

Jack opened the door and led Alex inside.

The office was about the size of a small conference room.

There was comfortable furniture, a minibar, and many exquisite paintings on the wall. Together with the glass wall showing the great view to the outside, this office was really splendid.

Jack offered Alex a seat in front of his table as he sat down too.

"Mr. Alex, I heard you wanted to sell some items here?"

"It's ok to call me Alex."

"Then please call me Jack, too. If you want to buy or sell items later, you can always ask directly. I will give you a discount."

Alex, who heard this, gave a fake smile as he nodded.

Then he started putting the items that he wanted to sell on the table.
