Unfortunately, Alex can't identify the [ga Stone] with the appearance of them as they are all very similar. So he doesn't know which [ga Stone] belongs to whom. The easiest way to figure it out is to let his pokemon check if they find a connection with it. But he can't do that in front of Steven since he may figure sothing out. The best option would be to get them first and check out later when he is alone.
Steven, who saw that Alex showed great interest in these marble-like stones, said with a smile, "So, you like these stones, huh."
Alex thought for a few seconds and said, "Yeah, they really differ from other stones here. They look more like manmade stones."
"You are absolutely right. The first ti I thought that too. But after several tests, I found out that these stones were all unchanged for more than 100 years. I could also do other tests, but these stones don't seem to be anything special except their appearance."
Alex, who heard this, was silent for a few seconds. "Hmm, no matter what, I don't want to tell him anything about the [ga Stones]. Even though he is a person with whom you can build a good friendship, it is far from the situation that I would tell him my secrets," Alex thought.
Steven saw Alex staring at these stones thoughtfully, and with a friendly smile, he said, "You know what, if you like these stones so much, I will give them to you."
Alex, who was already thinking of asking for these stones, was glad that Steven offered them himself. Alex imdiately accepted the offer.
"Thank you, Steven."
Steven, who saw Alex's unexpected sincere expression, started to laugh slightly.
"Hahaha, that's really unnecessary. These stones have no real value anyway. I am only giving you nice-looking stones."
Alex, who heard this, smiled slightly and thought, "Although you don't know it, you gave a great gift. If I find a [ga Stone] that fits your Pokémon, I'll pay you back."
After Alex has had taken the three [ga Stones], he and Steven continue to walk through the collection.
Alex could not find anything that looked familiar, so he simply listened to Steven telling him a bit about the different stones.
...
After 30 minutes, Steven finished going through the collection and went to the training room with Alex.
Steven's training room was many tis better than that of the expensive hotel. It was huge, had special machines for almost every type of training, and had several battlefields for fighting.
It was kind of a perfect place to train Pokémon.
Alex, who saw this enormous training hall, couldn't help but say with an envious look, "Wow! This is really the perfect place to train."
Steven showed a proud expression when he said, "Yes, this is really a special place. It took 2 months to build this room, and it cost more than 70 million Pokédollars. Especially the machines that cost 99% out of the final bill."
Alex, who heard this, couldn't help but be a little surprised when he said, "70 million? At this price, you can buy a very rare S-rank Pokémon. You really have too much money to spend on a training room. Though I have to admit that it is a good investnt if it really makes training more efficient."
Steven heard Alex describe it as a good investnt and couldn't help but say with a relieved smile, "And I thought you'd make fun of for throwing away so much money."
"It depends. How much more effective is it compared to the training rooms of the best hotel?"
Steven showed a proud expression when he said, "With Move Mastery, it is between 20-35%, and with Body Mastery, it is 20-55% more effective. It is very dependent on which Pokémon trains, so so Pokémon will benefit more from it. My training room is specialized for Rock and Steel-type Pokémon, so most of them prove more effective to . For my Pokémon, the improvent rate is 30-35% and 45-55% higher."
"It sounds like the trainers who specialize in types have it easier designing their training rooms."
Steven said with a lively tone, "Alex, you don't need to worry. I know a good building company from my father who also makes good general training rooms. It has many different options. If you have raised a bit of money, you can get a room done for yourself from them. I can even give you a discount."
Alex showed a happy expression when he said, "No, I have good money, but I haven't found a place where I want to stay longer. Maybe when I've found a house for myself, I'll ask you again. I also don't want this discount. As you probably know, money can ruin a friendship, and I don't really need it."
Steven smiled and said, "Ohh... Is that soone too proud to take a discount from his friend? Hahaha... Alex, you are really a very proud person."
Alex started to laugh a little when he replied, "Haha, says the person who thinks he can easily win the rookie tournant and beco Champion. Tell , who's got a bigger ego here?"
Steven smiled and said, "But I have every reason to be confident. Co on, let's fight, and I'll show you."
Alex stopped smiling and said seriously, "Ok, 3 v/s 3 like in the rookie tournant. Though you can be glad that I don't know your Pokémon's info and don't have enough ti to create a good tactic."
Steven heard how Alex was show off his superiority in the talent of tactics and couldn't help but say, "Alex, are you looking for excuses now? If you want, I can show you my three Pokémon beforehand."
Alex stopped smiling and said with a poker face, "No, it's ok. Let's get started right away. We'll fight a lot anyway, so I will soon know about your Pokémon."
Steven also stopped his smile as he said, "Ok, sounds good. Let's get started.
Alex and Steven started walking towards the battlefield together.
