Super divine refresh opportunity.

Clicking on the flash sale shelf, Alex was pleasantly surprised.
At this time, there were ten items on the shelf.
Among them, one product was covered in golden light, two were bathed in crimson light, five radiated a purple glow, and the remaining two emitted a dim blue light.

"Let's start with the blue ones first," Alex decided, saving the best for last.
He clicked on the two blue items.
---
Item 1: [Advanced Pyro Ball] (Blue)
Introduction: Made of special materials. Fire-type Pokémon recover a small amount of stamina and gain a slight experience boost during rest.
Flash Sale Price: $8.67
---
"The pricing doesn't even make sense," Alex muttered. "No matter! Buy first, ask questions later!"
Alex pulled out his phone and logged into the Pokémon app for the Kingdom of Dragons.
This app was the most downloaded software in the Kingdom of Dragons. It covered information about secret realms, Pokémon, battles, events, and even buying and selling items.
Alex searched for "Advanced Pyro Ball" in the app's marketplace.
Market Price: $39,001
Resale Price: Around $42,000
Official Dewen Co. Store Price: $49,000
---
"Wow."
Alex couldn't believe his luck.
"An ordinary red-and-white Poké Ball costs $500, but this high-grade Pyro Ball is worth nearly $40,000?!"
For less than $10, Alex had essentially acquired a treasure.
---
Item 2: [Fire Stone] (Blue)
Introduction: A stone capable of evolving specific Fire-type Pokémon (e.g., Vulpix, Growlithe, Eevee, Pansear).
Flash Sale Price: $7.02
---
"A Fire Stone? These cost $100,000 each!"
Alex smiled widely as he purchased the Fire Stone.
"If I don't use it myself, I can always sell it in the trading market."
---
Next, Alex moved on to the purple, elite-level items.
Among the five items available, three were TMs (Technical Machines).
---
Item 3: [Fire Punch TM] (Purple)

---
Item 4: [Blaze Kick TM] (Purple)

Flash Sale Price: $13.70
---
Item 5: [Bulldoze TM] (Purple)
Introduction: Teaches a move that damages the target and reduces its Speed stat by one stage.
Flash Sale Price: $13.70
---
Alex chuckled in delight.
"I've been waiting for moves like these! Charmander's early-game reliance on Ember felt so limiting."
Without hesitation, Alex purchased all three TMs.
---
The remaining two purple items were also intriguing.
---
Item 6: [Toxic Orb Fragment] (Purple)
Introduction: At the end of each turn, a Pokémon holding this item becomes badly poisoned if it's not already in a Poison condition.
Flash Sale Price: $13.70
---
"A Toxic Orb, huh?" Alex mused.
Though it was just a fragment, Alex decided to buy it. "Eventually, I'll gather the pieces to complete the full orb."
He remembered some Pokémon could use the Toxic Orb's effect for powerful strategies, like benefiting from poison through abilities such as [Poison Heal].
---
Item 7: [High-Grade Fire Energy Cube] (Purple)
Introduction: A special energy cube that boosts a Fire-type Pokémon's mood and bonding.
Flash Sale Price: $13.70
---
Without hesitation, Alex bought the energy cube and fed it to Charmander, who immediately perked up with joy.
"Ouch!" Charmander chirped happily, pressing against Alex's chest.
Alex smiled warmly, feeling his bond with Charmander grow stronger.
---
Finally, Alex turned his attention to the last three items—shrouded in gold and red.
---
Item 8: [Experience Multiplier] (Red)
Introduction: Doubles the experience earned by a Pokémon after a battle.
Flash Sale Price: $47.28
---
"Perfect for leveling Charmander quickly!" Alex exclaimed, immediately buying the item.
---
Item 9: [Champion-Level Talent Pokémon Egg] (Red)
Introduction: Hatches a Pokémon with champion-level talent, randomly determined.
Flash Sale Price: $49.99
---
"Finally, my team will have a solid second member!"
Alex didn't hesitate and topped up his account to purchase the egg.
---
Item 10: [Legendary Aura Item] (Gold)
Alex's eyes sparkled as he clicked on the final item bathed in golden light.
"What legendary treasure awaits me here?"
---
Alex's adventure had only just begun, but he was already reaping rewards. The future looked bright for him and his Pokémon!
