Chapter 216: 214 - Partnership
With the conversion of Riku's Magikarp, the Pokemon was completely converted to the real world as a real Pokemon!
This was free because Alex wanted to use it as a promotion for the game and set it up so that if a player met certain conditions, the first player to do so would get the Pokemon for free.
Of course, he intended to do this more often in the future, just as he had done with ESW, where players learned real-world skills for free.
But while ESW was making Alex millions of GP a month in monthly fees, Pokemon was still only making a few hundred.
Alex saw it as an investment, so he wouldn't give Pokemon away for free for the time being, but when the Ninja World was making him a few thousand GP a month, he would start giving Pokemon away to players for free, just like in Elder Scrolls: Warcraft.
In addition to Pokemon that could be rescued for battle, such as Riku's, Alex also developed Pokemon that would remain as companions in the real world, but without battle power.
Since these Pokemon would have no battle power, the price would also be several times lower.
For example, Riku's Magikarp, which costs 1.5 million Ryo in battle form, would only cost 50,000 Ryo as a companion with no battle power.
This would be a great companion for ordinary people, as well as spreading the word about Pokemon to other people.
If you saw your friend at home with a beautiful Arcanine as a pet, wouldn't you want to have such an amazing Pokemon?
Alex often analyzed people's mentality and how he could benefit from it, and Riku was the first case of analysis in this world with Pokemon.
"Riku, what is it?!" His mother shouted, frightened and worried.
Looking at his mother and the golden Magikarp jumping to the ground, Riku finally realized the problem he was in.
"Mom, help me get a bowl of water to put the Magikarp in!" Riku shouted, worried that the Magikarp would die without water.
Though scared and confused, his mother also felt sorry for the goldfish struggling on the floor, and ran out to the backyard to get a bowl of water to put the fish in.
Unlike normal fish, Magikarp was very large, so even though it was a large bowl, the Pokemon was still cramped in there and couldn't move much.
Because of its size, when Magikarp moved around in the bowl, water would leak out and soak the whole living room of their house, so Riku's mother picked up the bowl and took it to the backyard, where it would no longer soak her house.
But to her surprise, when she came out with the bowl and Riku by her side, a passerby saw her holding a bowl with a Magikarp in it and was shocked!
"My God, is that a Magikarp?!" The person shouted excitedly.
Hearing this person's scream, other curious people came closer to see.
Soon, dozens of people were standing in front of Riku and his mother's house, surprised to see the real Magikarp.
"Naomi, how did you get a real Pokemon? Did you find it in the wild?" A neighbor asked in surprise.
This neighbor was a big Pokémon fan who played all the time, so when she saw that her neighbor, Naomi, had a Pokémon in the real world, she became very excited.
"Pokemon? Is that fish a Pokemon?!" She asked confused.
"Yes Mom, it's Magikarp, my favorite Pokemon." Riku explained laughing.
"I haven't played Pokemon yet, I was running around the oasis for so long that I didn't have time to see any Pokemon..." Naomi explained a little embarrassed.
"Then how did you get this Pokemon?" The neighbor asked something that the other people around also wanted to know.
"I didn't get it, it was Riku who made that Pokemon appear out of nowhere in the living room of our house.
When she said this, everyone looked at Riku, waiting for his answer.
With everyone's attention on him, Riku, who was still a small child, was a little embarrassed, but he explained what had happened to him so that the Magikarp could be summoned into the real world.
"Thank you very much." Kaito thanked the Anbu ninja who had just said something in his ear. "Invite Riku and Naomi to my office later."
"Yes, sir." The Anbu ninja replied before disappearing.
Hearing Kaito talk about Riku, Alex laughed and wondered what had happened. "Riku called his Magikarp?"
Surprised, Kaito looked at Alex and wondered how he knew that, but when he remembered that the Pokemon World and the Oasis belonged to Alex, it made sense that he knew what was going on there.
"Yes, it's causing a stir in the village because everyone wants to see Pokemon in the real world, even if it's just a Magikarp." Kaito replied.
"Just a Magikarp? Haha..." Alex laughed without much explanation.
But with Kaito's sharp mind, he realized from what Alex said that maybe the Magikarp wasn't just a useless fish like people thought?
There were people who caught Magikarps these days, but when they saw that the fish was extremely weak, they just gave up on catching it and posted on the forum how useless this Pokemon was.
People were even saying that Magikarp was the most useless Pokemon in the game, but from Alex's reaction, that didn't seem to be true?
Surprised by this, Kaito made a mental note to study Magikarp further and see if there was anything special about it.
Only Alex knew that Magikarp was probably the best value for money Pokemon, being probably the cheapest Pokemon, and that when it evolved, it would have Elite Jonin Strength, or even Jonin directly, skipping the Chunin phase.
But the difficulty of evolving a Magikarp was also phenomenal, so the reward was proportional to the risk of capturing a Magikarp and never evolving it.
"So now all you have to do is push a button and this thing will fly into the sky until it leaves the planet?" Kaito asked confused as he looked at the satellite set up in front of them.
"Yes, after that the cell phone signal will reach different parts of the world, which will speed up the expansion of my stores. How about it, do you want to go into business with me?" Alex asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Kaito was surprised by Alex' proposal.
"Why do you say that? Wouldn't you earn more by expanding on your own?" Kaito asked really confused.
"So far, I've only worked with you, but your family probably has shops all over the ninja world, right? My focus is not only on the big villages, but I also want to focus on the capitals and big cities around the world. Cell phones won't just be for ninjas," Alex explained. Alex explained, causing Kaito's eyes to widen.
Considering how useful cell phones were, he was sure that normal people would be extremely interested in this thing, and considering how much money Alex could make with it, Kaito was shocked.
"All right, there are some big cities nearby that we can help you with." Kaito accepted.
Alex knew that if he went to each of these cities alone, he wouldn't be able to control these expansions to the entire ninja world in 10 years, let alone less.
Especially because the ninja world was so dangerous, it was a good idea to have a powerful family to help him with the logistics and security of his store, even if he made less profit, the real income was not in the sale of cell phones, but in the spending of the users in the Oasis!
