Inside the bathroom, there was a single hot spring bath at the very back, next to a shower room, and outside that was a double bathtub.
These weren't the key features, as even relatively high-end resort hotels had this configuration.
The key was the color of the entire bathroom, which was golden yellow, the kind of golden yellow of actual gold.
Tetsuya confirmed that everything inside was gold-plated. Although gold wasn't particularly precious in this world and wasn't generally used as a medium of exchange, decorating all the rooms like this was still a significant expense.
This tyrant gold decoration was truly blinding at first glance, too dazzling.
Looking around, the toiletries nearby were all top-tier brands in the Pokemon World, which was quite in line with the style of the place.
Taking off his clothes, he stepped into the hot spring bath and slowly sat down. One word: refreshing.
The perfectly warm water washed away the fatigue from his body, allowing Tetsuya to completely relax.
He turned on the TV in front of him and started watching a program.
"So, the power of a move isn't just determined by the amount of energy the move itself can hold, but also related to the Pokemon's own energy level and proficiency. If a Pokemon only has energy, it's not enough. All you Trainers must..."
Tetsuya listened to Professor Oak's popular science on TV, his mind wandering.
It was a pity that his three Pokemon weren't the type that liked water, otherwise he could have let them relax too.
Pidgeot could, but it was too big and inconvenient to clean.
Combusken and Roggenrola probably could only enjoy a sand bath. Combusken would be fine, soaking in water would at most be a little uncomfortable, but Roggenrola would lose half its life.
He stretched and sighed. This was truly the ideal life.
Unfortunately, his money was far from enough to support this ideal.
During this period, including the 2 million Alliance Coins Brock gave him in advance, he had earned about 18 million Alliance Coins.
However, a large sum of money had been spent on Pokemon training.
Combusken had broken through to Elite Level this month, and the training costs had increased significantly, costing about 3 million Alliance Coins.
It could be said that it only took four months to train it to Elite Level. The shortened time was not only due to its Champion-level Potential, but more so the effect of pouring money into it.
Furthermore, Tetsuya calculated that if he continued with this method, reaching Level 40 would basically require at least 10 million Alliance Coins.
Not to mention the progress after that.
As for Pidgeot, it only cost 1.5 million Alliance Coins this month, which was within the normal planned budget, as its progress wasn't as fast as Combusken's.
The biggest expense this month was on Roggenrola. It also cost about 3.5 million Alliance Coins during its Young stage. The key was the cost in the following ten days, which Tetsuya hadn't really anticipated.
Due to the special nature of Roggenrola as a Pokemon, Zero's training plan was to frantically replenish and accumulate energy for evolution before evolving, while also consuming some special rocks to change its physical characteristics.
By absorbing special rocks in large quantities over a long period, Roggenrola's resistance to various types and the hardness of its body would be further improved.
The cost of these two wasn't small. Tetsuya spent about 2 million Alliance Coins in just these ten days, and that was because of the supply channel from Pewter Gym and a 50% discount.
Otherwise, some rare rocks would not only be hard to find someone selling them, but even if someone did, they wouldn't be this cheap.
Moreover, as Roggenrola grew, the cost of these special rocks would only increase, not decrease.
Roughly calculating, just to evolve would cost about 15 million Alliance Coins, not to mention the need to continue strengthening its power afterwards.
Basically, Roggenrola's cost was similar to Combusken's, after all, their size after evolution was also different.
Training Pokemon these days was indeed a money-burning activity, Tetsuya thought with a bitter smile. He was on a rhythm of going bankrupt every time he raised a Pokemon.
Fortunately, as his own strength continued to increase, earning money also became relatively easier.
However, ordinary people shouldn't think that they can quickly increase their Pokemon's strength by simply throwing money at it. It was only because Tetsuya had a complete training plan that he dared to do this.
Otherwise, it was very likely that 10 million Alliance Coins would be completely wasted.
Therefore, for civilian Trainers, there were many reasons preventing them from becoming stronger and changing their lives. Besides poverty, there were also the Pokemon's Potential, the methods of advancement, and even the methods of training Pokemon that were restricting them.
The remaining 8 million Alliance Coins he had could last for a while. If he won a championship in this competition or something, getting rich overnight wouldn't be a dream.
After all, Charcoal with a 10% effect was fine, costing about 10 million Alliance Coins.
The key was the Evolution Stone that allowed him to choose any type. It was important to know that some special type Evolution Stones were very rare and expensive.
Only the Evolution Brothers in Stone Town could casually take them out as rewards, after all, they were wealthy people who started by mining Evolution Stones.
He gently exhaled, and Tetsuya stood up.
"Speaking of which, I need to get my hair cut sometime, or change my hairstyle. How about a wolf tail?"
After drying himself, Tetsuya stood in front of the mirror admiring his body while this thought flashed through his mind.
After all, for the past six months, he had either been busy doing tasks or training Pokemon, and the remaining time was spent studying and watching videos, so he didn't have any free time to get a haircut.
Therefore, his hair looked slightly messy.
Fortunately, he took a shower and washed his hair every morning and evening, otherwise people who didn't know would think his Pidgeot lived on his head.
Walking out of the bathroom, Tetsuya picked up the phone and called for service.
"Hello, how can I help you?" A clear female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Please give my three Pokemon a massage and cleaning. They are Pidgeot, Combusken, and Roggenrola."
"Okay sir, a dedicated person will come to your room shortly to pick them up."
The whole process takes about three hours. It's currently dinner time, so you can have your meal first. We will notify you via your wristwatch when the service is finished.
At that time, you can freely choose when we return the Poke Balls."
"Okay, thank you." "You're welcome, enjoy your journey."
Tetsuya hung up the phone without hesitation.
This was also part of the VIP room service mentioned by the server just now. Looking at it, they specifically hired several high-level breeders at a high price to perform this service.
Although Tetsuya often does it himself, he's here to enjoy himself. Why not occasionally let others do it? The main thing is that the room service here doesn't cost extra.
"Beep beep~! Woo~!"
With the sound of the ship's whistle, the St. Anne slowly set sail.
Stretching, he was now officially in a semi-vacation state. He could somewhat put aside training and making money from missions.
"Knock knock!" Along with the sound of knocking, a man's voice rang out, "Hello sir, your room service is here."
Putting on his clothes, he took the three shrunk Luxury Balls, opened the door, and handed them to the server who came to collect them.
He also asked if the buffet restaurant on the first floor was currently open for dining, which of course received an affirmative answer from the server.
Tetsuya then leisurely walked to the first floor, ready to start enjoying his first dinner.
Seeking investments, collections, recommendations, and monthly passes!!!
Asking for everything!!
