"Which Pokémon is it?" Xiao Ye asked with anticipation.
Is it the lovely and cute Dratini, or the hard-headed Bagon, or perhaps the well-behaved Axew?
"It's Trapinch," Kawaki introduced, "The Pokémon in this egg is a Pokémon called Trapinch."
"Trapinch?" Xiao Ye's eyes widened immediately. Trapinch… that doesn't sound like a Dragon at all!
"Before it evolves, Trapinch is a Ground-type Pokémon. Perhaps this name is unfamiliar to you, but if I mention its evolved form, I think you should have heard of it," Kawaki said.
"What is it?"
"Flygon, a mysterious Pokémon that can stir up terrifying sandstorms."
Flygon… Xiao Ye's mind immediately recalled a battle he had seen at the Lily of the Valley Conference.
In that battle, one of the Trainers used a Flygon. It flapped its wings, stirring up a terrifying sandstorm to attack its opponent. It was a very powerful Pokémon.
"After evolving into Flygon, Trapinch's type will change from Ground to Dragon/Ground, and it will also be able to learn powerful Dragon-type moves like Dragon Claw, Dragon Breath, and Dragon Dance."
As he spoke, Kawaki glanced at the egg.
[Trapinch's Egg: A Pokémon egg that can hatch a Ground-type Pokémon, Trapinch.]
[Health: Healthy]
[Father: Flygon (Superior-level)]
[Mother: Flygon (Gym Leader-level)]
With a Superior-level father and a Gym Leader-level mother, this egg can be said to have great potential.
"How about it? Do you want to choose it as your starter Pokémon?" Kawaki asked.
Xiao Ye hesitated a little.
Because even though Flygon is a Dragon-type Pokémon, there was a significant difference from the Dragon he had imagined…
After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Ye couldn't help but ask again, "Are there any other Dragon-type Pokémon here?"
"I'm afraid not," Kawaki shook his head and added, "However, there are many Pokémon suitable for novice Trainers to raise. Hmm… let me introduce them to you!"
"Please do!" Xiao Ye said.
Kawaki smiled, then looked at a Pokémon egg and began,
"A Wurmple egg. It can hatch a Pokémon called Wurmple. Its final evolutions are Beautifly and Dustox, both Bug-type Pokémon."
As everyone knows, Bug-type Pokémon grow very fast, making them perfect for novice Trainers. This way, new Trainers can quickly gain some combat power.
For example, two Trainers set out on a journey, one with a Wurmple and the other with a Dratini as their starter Pokémon.
When Wurmple evolves into its final form, Beautifly, and clears a few Gyms, Dratini might not even have evolved into Dragonair yet.
Although the two are not comparable in the later stages, if carefully nurtured, even the weakest Bug-type Pokémon is not without the possibility of defeating a powerful Dragonite.
What's more, having combat power early allows Trainers to use that strength to capture Dragon Pokémon with slower growth periods.
Wurmple, a very common Pokémon that can be found in roadside bushes and forests…
Xiao Ye was a bit hesitant. Personally, he was somewhat afraid of Bug-type Pokémon.
Seeing his expression, Kawaki understood.
He continued to recommend the next Pokémon.
"How about Oddish?"
Raising Grass-type Pokémon, compared to other Pokémon, is not only faster in growth but also very resource-efficient.
Because most Pokémon only need sunlight, water, and soil to survive.
For Trainers from poor families who don't have much money, it's a very good choice.
Xiao Ye became even more conflicted.
Kawaki smiled and did not rush him.
For people with decision paralysis, choosing one starter Pokémon out of twenty is indeed a very difficult task.
Kawaki introduced a few more Pokémon to Xiao Ye.
But Xiao Ye still couldn't make up his mind.
So hard to choose, truly so hard to choose!
Xiao Ye was incredibly conflicted. The powerful figure of that Flygon from the battle he had seen earlier flashed in his mind. Xiao Ye gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.
"I've decided! I'll choose Trapinch!"
By approximation, Flygon is also a Dragon!
"In that case, this child will be in your care from now on." Kawaki handed the Trapinch egg to Xiao Ye.
Trapinch inhabits dry deserts and is not easily encountered, so it can be considered an unusual Pokémon.
Based on its capture difficulty and rarity, plus the hatching and raising fees, a normal Breeding House would sell one for about 100,000 alliance coins.
Converted to RMB, it's about five to six thousand, not cheap, but not expensive either.
Given that these eggs were not bred by the Breeding House and did not incur resource or monetary costs, Kawaki decided to sell this batch of eggs at an 80% discount.
He first explained the situation to Xiao Ye, then said, "So, you only need to pay 80,000 alliance coins."
"Thank you very much!" Xiao Ye's face was filled with gratitude. He had brought 200,000 alliance coins this time, and although it wasn't a lot, it was good to save where he could.
After Xiao Ye paid, he couldn't wait to take the egg home.
Kawaki quickly called out to him and reminded him, "There's about half a month left until Trapinch hatches. Since our store just opened, we haven't prepared an incubator yet, so you'll need to go to the Pokémon store in town to buy one yourself. Incubators are very cheap and won't cost much."
"I understand, thank you very much!" Xiao Ye said his thanks, then took the Trapinch egg and cycled away swiftly.
Seeing that the Breeding House had finally sold its first egg, Kawaki couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Only by earning money could he afford to raise more Pokémon.
Being able to sell Pokémon eggs also meant that from today onwards, his Breeding House was officially on the right track.
Although the Pokémon world is generally a utopian world, some places still have unwritten rules.
For example, even in a Breeding House, the rarer and more uncommon Pokémon eggs are, the more expensive they become.
It's not just their rarity, but also because they are difficult to obtain, so their prices far exceed those of common Pokémon found by the roadside.
It is precisely for this reason that the illegal organization known as Pokémon Hunter emerged, because the value of rare Pokémon is simply too high.
A Breeding House can be considered the only legal place in the entire Pokémon world to buy and sell young Pokémon and Pokémon eggs.
Kawaki collected his thoughts and looked at the batch of eggs before him, his gaze finally settling on one particular egg.
[Castform's Egg: A Pokémon egg that can hatch a Normal-type Pokémon, Castform.]
[Health: Healthy]
[Father: Castform (Superior-level)]
[Mother: Castform (Superior-level)]
[Hatching Progress: 15 / 23 days]
The Breeding House currently lacked a Water-type Pokémon to water the herb garden and Berry fields.
Castform, which can change the weather and bring rain, would be perfect for these tasks.
In that case, he would keep the Castform from this egg for himself!
