However, unlike Magikarp, which could be found everywhere, wild Feebas were extremely rare.
And with Feebas’s ugly appearance, even if a Trainer managed to fish one up, very few would be willing to capture and raise it.
If Jasper were not a transmigrator, he probably would not have been interested in this fish either.
However, Milotic’s evolution method was rather special.
Unlike the way other Pokémon were raised, if one wanted Feebas to evolve, its Beauty had to be cultivated.
When its Beauty reached a certain level, the Trainer still needed to use a Prism Scale to make it evolve.
In this world, scale-shaped treasures were already few and far between.
Most of these scales were formed from special reverse scales that had naturally fallen from powerful Pokémon, and there was no need to say how important a reverse scale was to a Pokémon.
Dragon Scales were azure blue.
They were reverse scales that fell off after adult Dragon-type Pokémon died naturally, and they had the effect of enhancing Dragon-type moves.
Heart Scales were pink.
They were unique products of Luvdisc and possessed the effect of allowing Pokémon to comprehend moves.
Each Luvdisc could only shed one Heart Scale in its entire life.
As for Prism Scales, they were mystical scales that shone with a rainbow-colored luster, and they were also extremely rare items.
Looking at this Feebas, Jasper fell into deep thought.
Clearly, Milotic was one of the best possible choices as a Water-type main force.
Not only was it beautiful in appearance, but it was also powerful.
However, how to raise this Feebas was a question worth careful consideration.
Although the effect of Prism Scales was currently unknown to most people, just from the rainbow glow they emitted on the surface, one could tell they were treasures.
Obtaining one would likewise be somewhat difficult.
Looking at that small, lonely figure quietly staying at the bottom of the water, Jasper recalled the inferiority and loneliness that had flashed through its eyes just now.
In the end, Jasper still decided to buy this Feebas.
Not only was he giving it a chance, he was also giving himself one.
No matter what the final result was, he did not want to leave himself with regrets.
Afterward, under the receptionist’s extremely confused gaze, Jasper took out his bank card printed with the Poké Ball pattern and bought the Feebas.
Two hundred thousand Poké Dollars. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
He had bought this Feebas that possessed limitless future potential.
No matter how he calculated it, this deal was not a loss.
Thinking about how he might one day have the Crystal Onix on his left and Milotic on his right, Jasper felt a little excited inside.
He continued strolling through the trading market, treating it as a chance to broaden his horizons by seeing all kinds of Pokémon.
There were still quite a few Pokémon from Johto and Hoenn here, and the many Pokémon in this place also gave Jasper a lot of inspiration.
It allowed him to form a clearer idea of the direction he should take for future captures.
The Ghost-type Pokémon section.
“If possible, capturing a Gastly wouldn’t be bad either,” Jasper thought as he looked at the dozen or so Gastly inside.
As Ghost-type Pokémon, Gastly had always been relatively difficult to capture.
The Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town, Kanto, did have a large number of Ghost-type Pokémon, but because so many Ghost-type Pokémon lived there, it was far too dangerous for a Trainer to go there alone.
Furthermore, as a Pokémon capable of evolving twice, Gastly had great potential.
Most importantly, its final evolution, Gengar, also had the ability to undergo Mega Evolution.
The price of one Gastly was three million Poké Dollars, while one Haunter cost as much as four million eight hundred thousand Poké Dollars.
Looking at the group of Gastly in front of him, Jasper finally made up his mind.
It was only three million.
He still had nearly five million Poké Dollars in his hands.
At worst, once his master returned, he would accept a few more missions at the Pokémon Center.
Besides, Ghost-type Pokémon like Gastly could turn invisible and serve as excellent scouts, Jasper thought.
He immediately said to the receptionist beside him, who had been looking rather bored, “Help me choose a Gastly. I want the one with the best condition among them.”
When the receptionist heard this, she could hardly believe her ears.
“Really? That’s wonderful, sir. I’ll immediately get the detailed information on these Gastly for you. Please wait a moment!” After saying this in surprise, the receptionist hurriedly left in her high heels.
After all, this receptionist had accompanied him around for half a day, and Jasper had only bought one “cheap” Feebas.
It was normal for her to have that kind of attitude.
“Kekeke, kekeke, kekeke…”
Turning back, Jasper continued observing these Ghost-type Pokémon.
Watching the Gastly constantly make all kinds of strange and funny movements while letting out eerie laughter, they seemed to enjoy playing pranks.
Understanding Gastly’s nature, Jasper smiled faintly.
