Alex sat in an expensive hotel in Cerulean City to rest.
He took out his TRH device and called Lisa with it. After a few seconds, Lisa answered the call.
Lisa: "Alex, what is it? Why are you calling me today?"
Alex heard Lisa's annoyed tone and said, "Executive Lisa, I'm sorry if I bothered you, but I wanted to suggest a deal to you."
Lisa: "Hmm... a deal? Ok, you have my interest. What is it that you want to make a trade with me?"
Alex: "One of the S-Talent Pokémon."
Lisa: "What, really? Which Pokémon? And what do you want for this Pokémon?"
Alex: "I have an S-Talent Butterfree, which is at level 22. As for the exchange, I want 150 liters of Lugia blood and 50 Lugia scales with Psychic power."
Lisa: "What, so much? You have to know that Lugia can't just make Lugia scales with psychic power. If Lugia makes a scale with psychic powers, she can't train any more psychic moves for the rest of the day. It's similar to that of the blood. Her body is weakened when I take 3 liters of blood so that she cannot do any physical training for the whole day. If I sell you that, Lugia will hardly be able to train for 50 days."
Alex: "Yes, but you will have one more S-Talent Pokémon. The only reason why I am completely ready to accept this exchange is that it is a win-win situation. With this amount, there is a good chance that I can improve Kirlia and Crobat's potential. If it works, I will have exchanged 1 S-talent Pokémon for 2 S-Talent Pokémon. What do you think of this deal?"
Lisa thought for a few seconds and couldn't suppress the attraction of an S-Talent Pokémon. As the weakest Team Rocket Executive, she needed more talented and powerful Pokémon. She only has Lugia as an SS talent Pokémon. The rest are A-Talent Pokémon. She knows that if she only has one good Pokémon, even if it's quite strong, she won't get very far. 6 S-talent Pokémon against 1 SS-Talent is ordinarily not a close battle.
She recognized that this deal was already very beneficial and said, "Ok. I will send you 3 liters of blood and a scale over the TRH device for the next 50 days."
Alex, who heard this, couldn't help but grin. He said, "Thank you very much, Executive Lisa. Can I send you the Pokémon over the TRH device?"
Lisa: "Yes, but it needs to be approved by a Team Rocket Executive in order to do it. And I have already unlocked your device."
Alex saw how his TRH device had a new option on the screen. He used it quickly and sent the Butterfree to Lisa.
A few seconds later, Alex got a message from the TRH device that Lisa had sent items and that it had to be confirmed.
Alex confirmed the message, and a few seconds later, a large blood bag and a scale with a purple tinge appeared in front of Alex.
Crobat saw the blood bag in Alex's hand and couldn't help but show an excited expression.
Alex hoped the Crobat and Kirlia could increase their potential by absorbing these items for the next 50 days. Of course, Alex knows how difficult it is to increase the potential of a Pokémon. Thus he was not sure that it will work for 100%.
Alex wasn't thinking about raising the potential of only Kirlia and Crobat. He had already thought about how he could get valuable items for Shieldon and Scizor. With the help of Steven Stone, Alex would have no problem getting valuable items for Rock and Steel-type Pokémon. Steven Stone would soon ascertain that Alex hadn't lied and probably will thank Alex for his help. He will use that chance to buy valuable items from Steven Stone.
The only Pokémon where Alex still had no way to improve his potential was Ditto. But he was sure that it won't be long before he can find or buy valuable items for Ditto. Alex wanted to bring Ditto's potential to Shallow Gold, at least.
Alex and his Pokémon had breakfast together again. Alex's all Pokémon eat high quality and delicious Pokémon food, so the atmosphere at breakfast is always good.

Of course, Crobat and Scizor are very proud Pokémon who have an indifferent expression during breakfast. Only Kirlia knows that Crobat and Scizor secretly enjoy this time with the 'family'.
Alex had planned to stay in Cerulean City for 2 days to sell the 14 Silver Pokémon here. He didn't want to miss the chance to make so much money.
Later that day, when Alex was training his Pokémon, he got a call from Steven Stone.
Steven: "Hey, am I talking to Alex?"
Alex: "Hey, Steven. Why are you calling me so late?"
Steven couldn't suppress his excited voice when he said, "Alex, you were right. The two stones were really fossils of Omanyte and Kabuto. If you hadn't told me that they were fossils, I would probably not have the two stones in a laboratory. They also found out that these fossils are intact, and there is a chance to bring these Pokémon back to life."
Alex thought, 'You may would have discovered it yourself at some point.'
Steven kept talking about the fossils until he spoke something that Alex had been waiting for.
He said, "Alex, I can't thank you enough. If you need any help with Pokémon, I will do my best to help you."
Alex smiled and said, "Really? Thank you, Steven. I really need your help with this one thing. I have raised enough money to buy valuable items that can increase the potential for Shieldon and Scizor. But I couldn't find any valuable items for Rock and Steel-type Pokémon that meet my requirements. So I was hoping that you can sell me some high-quality items."
Steven, "Ah, no problem Alex. I have exactly the right items you need. I will send them over to you today. Are you still in Cerulean City?"
Alex "Yes, I'm at the Sapphire Hotel."
Steven, "Ok, I'll have the things brought to you in 1 hour. Besides, you don't have to pay for them. See it as a thank you for the tip with the fossil."
Alex, "Thanks, Steven, for the help. But I really have enough money to pay for these items."
Steven laughed and said, "Haha, Alex. You want to give me your money? Don't worry, I'm not short on money. Besides, these fossils are worth a lot more than the items that I am sending you. Don't worry, I am not losing anything."
Alex smiled and said, "Ok, thanks for the help, Steven. You are a good friend."
Steven smiled too and said, "No problem Alex."
