"Hello, may I ask what's going on with these Pokémon Eggs?"
Ash looked at the Pokémon Eggs in the box, extremely puzzled.
The middle-aged man smiled, "These Pokémon Eggs, well, they might have some quality issues. We were just about to take them for inspection."
Suddenly, Ash was incredibly shocked, "Is this... a System?"
Because he found that he could directly see what was inside these eggs.
Ash scanned the Pokémon Eggs in the box, and the System panel appeared before his eyes.
"A gray egg."

"A Taillow? It looks pretty good, actually."
Clearly, Ash also knew that if a Taillow was trained well, its prospects were not bad.
Shaking his head slightly, Ash continued to look at the other Pokémon Eggs, "Geodude, Linoone, Caterpie, Magikarp."
It could be said that the Pokémon Eggs in this box were still quite good, though their condition was a bit weak.
And among these Pokémon, actually, only Magikarp's strength was the most outstanding after evolution.
But if he didn't have Kojiro's evolution method, he probably wouldn't know when he could successfully evolve Magikarp.
A Magikarp below Level 15 was practically at everyone's mercy, because it only knew Splash, and then, uh... nothing happened.
Taking a Magikarp to battle, was he trying to make the opponent die laughing and win without fighting?
If it wasn't for someone who had received professional training, seeing that Magikarp's clumsy appearance, they might actually...
Delia looked at the hesitant Ash and said with a smile, "Ash, really don't feel any pressure. Let's go look at the ones on the shelf."
Clearly, Delia felt that Ash was still reluctant to spend money, after all, this child had been so sensible since he was little.
So Delia felt very lucky to have such a sensible son. She was already content and just wanted to see him spread his wings and fly.
Ash shook his head, "Mom, can I look at these Pokémon Eggs again?"
Delia smiled helplessly, "Then you look first, Mom will help you find some other good Pokémon."
She had already made up her mind that even if it meant selling everything, she would buy a powerful Pokémon for Ash.
Sometimes the power of maternal love is unimaginable. As parents, they always selflessly dedicate themselves, just to give the best to their children.
Ash continued to examine the eggs, his attention extremely focused, not daring to relax for a moment.
Suddenly, he looked at an egg in a corner of the box, "Wait... this is!!!"
Ash's expression was incredibly excited, he was a little incredulous, "This is, Froakie?"
Pokémon: Froakie
Gender: Male
Type: Water
Aptitude: Entry-level (Level 0)
Ability: Torrent
Hidden Ability: Protean
Base Stats: 314
He already felt the blood in his body burning, imagining Greninja's cool move, "Greninja, Water Shuriken!"
"Hello, excuse me, are these Pokémon Eggs still for sale?" Ash looked at the Froakie Pokémon Egg, his heart incredibly excited.
The middle-aged man looked at Ash, "The quality of these Pokémon Eggs doesn't seem very good. Are you sure you want to buy them?"
This somewhat concerned the reputation of the shop, so the middle-aged man reminded him repeatedly.
Ash nodded heavily, "I've decided, I want that blue and white egg, please."
Ash was already impatient, no matter what, he would always love Pokémon.
Only those who truly love Pokémon will not care about their strength; they have long regarded Pokémon as their partners.
Delia didn't say much. Since Ash had his own ideas, she would definitely support him unconditionally.
She also realized that Ash had grown up and was no longer that little child who had to rely on her for everything.
Delia sighed softly, "We can't take care of those children forever; they eventually have to grow up on their own."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, "Since you insist, take it."
Ash said with a smile, "Sir, what's the price of this Pokémon Egg?"
The middle-aged man looked at the egg in the box, thought for a moment, "Considering the quality issue of the Pokémon Egg, let's go with half of the original price."
"Five thousand Pokémon Coins, how about that?"
Delia smiled, "No problem, please pack it up for us, thank you."
The middle-aged man nodded, "Okay, please come over here first for identity registration."
Ash followed the middle-aged man to the counter and filled out his identity information.
The middle-aged man checked it once, confirming there were no issues, "Please swear with me, 'I will never harm Pokémon, and I will treat it as my partner.'"
Ash straightened his body and solemnly repeated the middle-aged man's words, looking extremely serious.
All procedures were completed smoothly, and Ash could then receive the Pokémon Egg.
Although Delia didn't understand why Ash did this, she ultimately suppressed her curious heart.
Ash walked to the box and gently touched the Pokémon Egg, being extremely careful, as if touching a treasure.
And at this moment, Ash clearly felt a series of faint collisions continuously emanating from inside the Pokémon Egg.
But very quickly, this movement completely quieted down again.
"Froakie, don't worry, I will help you." Ash gently stroked the Pokémon Egg, as if conveying his feelings.
The middle-aged man's face was full of smiles, "I can tell you love Pokémon very much."
Ash nodded slightly, "Pokémon are our partners, and we need to respect each other."
Seeing Ash like this, the middle-aged man felt relieved and quickly packed the Pokémon Egg.
Of course, Ash still needed a Pokémon incubator and some medicines to deal with mutations.
Delia was also not stingy, not even blinking, and directly swiped her card to buy the Pokémon incubator and other related items.
Although all these things combined, including that Pokémon Egg, cost thirty thousand Pokémon Coins, Delia felt it was worth it.
Because Ash had been sensible since he was little, never wasted money, and even thoughtfully helped with housework.
At the same time, Delia also saw Ash's love for Pokémon; that love was like billions of stars, incomparably brilliant.
All the way, Ash's mood was incredibly excited.
According to the middle-aged man, this Pokémon Egg might have some quality issues, meaning it might not hatch.
Or, the Pokémon that hatched might not be of very good quality, or even be sickly.
