Goodness, you say there are whales that know Water Spout, Emma has actually seen them, but have you seen turtles that know Water Spout?
Anyway, Emma hasn't.
"Amazing wow!"
But after regaining her senses, Emma looked at Squirtle more fondly. Not only was it cute and adorable in appearance, but it had such a unique skill!
Although the water column just now wasn't big, it was magical enough.
"Squirtle~~"
Seeming to understand that Emma was complimenting it, Squirtle's big eyes squinted into slits, its chin raised slightly, and its growl was very proud.
It was a very human pride, which Emma and Alex could easily hear.
"Wow~ this is too clever!"
Emma's clear eyes were about to turn into hearts, but it was still so proud, this turtle!
"Looks like you like it."
Seeing this scene, Alex also had a smile on his face. Let's just say, how can anyone resist a smart and cute Pokémon?
"Yes! I like it very much! Little brother, I want this little turtle!"
Emma spoke to Alex with certainty and confidence.
Although this is a turtle, unlike the cats and dogs she thought she would find when she came to the pet store, Emma was very sure.
This turtle is her ideal pet!
And this is what she drew from that thing called a Pokédex.
God ordained the greatest!
"Okay, it's our greatest honor to be able to satisfy our customers. The quality of this Squirtle is excellent."
"So the price is $200,000. Would you like to swipe your card or use a payment app?"
The smile on Alex's face deepened, and he smiled lightly at Emma.
"Of course it's a credit card..."
Emma replied without hesitation, but as soon as the words came out, she felt something was wrong.
"Wait... little brother, how much did you just say?"
"The price is $200,000."
Quiet.
Emma stared at Alex with a stiff expression; Alex blinked.
After a long time, making sure that she heard correctly, Emma patted her stiff face with one hand and took a deep breath.
"You're crazy about money, right? You sell this water turtle for $200,000?"
Emma pointed at the innocent-looking Squirtle in her arms, and spoke to Alex in disbelief.
It's outrageous!
"You dare to quote such a price, won't your conscience hurt?"
Emma didn't lack the $200,000, or this amount of money was nothing to her at all.
But she has money, and she doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
She also did her homework before preparing to raise a pet. A pet turtle actually quoted for $200,000?
"Miss, I have to solemnly declare that its name is Squirtle, not the Water Turtle..."
"And, do you really think that $200,000 is expensive?"
Alex's smile remained the same, and he asked Emma rhetorically.
Emma paused when she heard the words and glanced at Squirtle, who was looking at her expectantly with big watery eyes.
"The Squirtle is a very intelligent creature, capable of understanding your various words and emotions and responding to you."
Alex once again emphasized Squirtle's high IQ.
In other words, creatures like Pokémon have almost no low IQ, especially the legendary Pokémon, whose intelligence is no less than that of humans.
"And please believe me, this is already the preferential price I gave you. The store is newly opened, and this is also a special offer you have as a new customer."
"Squirtle can not only accompany you as your friend on a daily basis, but you will discover more of Squirtle's special features in the future, which I can assure you."
Alex sincerely assured Emma.
His mission is to spread Pokémon to the world, and Alex believes that he can do it!
People will also discover the charm of new magical creatures like Pokémon!
Emma was very conflicted in her heart. She liked Squirtle very much, and it's not that she can't pay, but she still feels like she was being taken advantage of by Alex...
The unhappiness of being exploited by the merchant also made her feel very aggrieved.
"Squirtle~"
The tender and crisp call sounded in Emma's ears, Emma looked at Squirtle's big cute eyes, and finally sighed.
Oh, what a dilemma~
"$200,000 is $200,000, swipe your card."
Emma pouted, forget it, those high-end pet dogs are also worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and Squirtle is not worse than them, why is it not worth $200,000?
Thinking of this, Emma felt a little more comfortable, that's right, and she had never heard of a turtle like Squirtle outside.
She still cherishes the species!
Wait!
"Handsome guy, isn't it a national protected animal?" Emma hurriedly asked Alex.
It's not that the state protects animals and can't keep them, but if it's really protected animals, then she has to give Squirtle a certificate that allows them to be raised.
"No, you can rest assured."
Alex returned to the front desk to sort out some things for Emma, and replied with a smile.
More than just protecting animals, Squirtle is the first time that Squirtle has appeared in this world.
"And let me mention to you, Squirtle isn't an animal, it's a Pokémon."
After Emma finished swiping the card, Alex handed the two small bags to Emma and said to her.
"Pokémon?" Emma tilted her head in confusion.
Never heard of it, and the name of this shop seems to be called Pokémon House?
"Yes, in addition, these are the first two boxes of energy cubes that you buy from Pokémon. This kind of energy cube is loved by water-type Pokémon."
"Currently, Squirtle is still small, so these two boxes should be enough for Squirtle to eat for half a month."
Emma opened the bag after hearing this, and two long wooden boxes came into view, energy cubes?
Another word she's never heard of...
Emma opened a box, which was full of small blue squares. Emma took out one and sniffed it.
A good-smelling fragrance instantly penetrates the nose and mouth, and it feels as soft as jelly when squeezed.
And Squirtle was staring at the energy cube in Emma's hands.
"It's made from a tree fruit. You can also taste it. It tastes very good." Alex laughed.
Emma thought about it and put the energy cube into her mouth and tasted it. The sweet one was really delicious.
"Squirtle~" Squirtle almost drooled.
"Pfft~ give it to you."
Emma couldn't help laughing when she saw Squirtle's appearance, grabbed a handful and put it in front of Squirtle.
But it's really good, even if it's too greedy, it's still just obedient and didn't jump up directly.
Emma watched Squirtle happily squinting and chewing on the energy cube, her aunt's smile couldn't help but put on her face.
So cute~
