Prestige Point Store
The week after Paul's birthday, Eevee was finally able to adapt in the Crimson Household. It was quite hard for her at first, but with the help of the mischievous but lovable Ditto, Eevee eventually became comfortable in moving within the family property. She was also able to join Paul and Ditto on their daily morning run, however, Ditto copies Eevee now instead of Paul. To be honest, the red-haired child was quite jealous; but he realized that it was ridiculous to feel jealous of your own Pokemon. He should be even glad about the good relationship between Ditto and Eevee.
After adapting, Eevee volunteered on joining Ditto's training. Paul has a hunch that her sudden will to join is relevant to the feeling of helplessness before, specifically on the experiment conducted to her. But he's not quite sure regarding this, he might need to purchase another related ability to detecting a Pokemon's emotion. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any prestige points yet, and if he does have any, an ability is quite expensive. As of now, he only has 231 Prestige Points, mostly coming from his parents' awe whenever he does something amazing growing up. There were few coming from Nurse Joy of Rustboro City and his tutor, Charles.
Items on the Prestige Store were quite pricey, well, except for berries. However, few varieties of berries are cheap, while most of them were expensive because of their different remarkable effects. Berries that have no effects costs 10 PP each. While those that could cure the status condition like paralysis, such as Cheri Berry costs 50 PP each. Other berries that could help a Pokemon recover its health or energy, such as Oran or Leppa Berry costs 75 PP each. Rare berries that could have a permanent effect on a Pokemon varies on price depending on its usefulness. Similar berries to Occa Berry, which could decrease damage taken from a certain type, costs 1000 PP each. While berries similar to Salac Berry, which could raise a certain stat, costs 5000 PP each.
On a scale, common berries that are found in the wild are priced around 10-75 PP each, while rare and unique berries that are hard to find are priced around 1000-5000 PP each. It makes sense, in a way, despite being expensive, why berries with permanent effects costs so much. These berries really have a unique effect on strengthening different aspects of a Pokemon. Even with the steep cost, Paul still feels lucky as he would be able to use these rare and unique berries to strengthen his pokemons in the future.
TMs, similarly, are also expensive. As they teach only a move each purchase and would be discarded after a Pokemon watched them a few times. Sadly, TMs could only be watched thrice, before being discarded. The system clarified that moves are only taught by videos itself contained within TMs, but it is based on the pokemon who's watching if they are capable to learn a new move within a limited time. On a positive note, the system has a complete range of TMs that a Pokemon could learn, which was quite very good selection. Another problem though, was that TMs have very steep prices. The price varies around 10,000 PP to 200,000 PP each.
However, not all of them are available; some could only be bought if he has a Pokemon that could learn that certain move. As of now, as he only has Ditto and Eevee, in which the former couldn't learn any TMs, he could only purchase few TMs that Eevee could learn. Food Recipes, on the other hand, costs 500,000 PP each. Though, there are 18 Food Recipes, each one representing a certain type. Meaning, if Paul wants to have the most optimal food to feed his future Pokemons, he might need to purchase them all which costs 9,000,000 PP in total. Of course, that's a matter in the future. For now, he wants to buy a new ability which could help him know his pokemons more.
Abilities differs on price, as most Psychic Abilities costs 500,000 PP to unlock them. Upgrading them, is another matter altogether; 100,000 PP for Level 1, 200,000 PP for Level 2, and so on, until 500,000 PP for Level 5. Common Abilities, though, differ on price. Abilities such as Culinary skills, could be unlocked at 100,000 PP, with each upgrade starting from 10,000 PP for Level 1, then costs 50,000 PP for Level 5. There are common abilities on the rarer side though, such as Poke Block Making skill, which costs 100,000 PP to unlock, but further upgrade raises the price sky-high. Level 1 for 200,000 PP, Level 2 for 400,000 PP, so on until it costs 1,000,000 PP for Level 5.
There are different abilities available on the store. On the Psychic side, Paul could further develop his Psychic Abilities to be more diverse, which are [Emotion Sensor], [Detection], [Telekinesis], [Teleport], [Healing], and [Support]; not adding the [Telepathy] that he currently possesses. All of them are very expensive though, with most not being necessary for Paul at the moment.
Common Abilities are a different matter altogether. There are a wide range of abilities, ranging from life skills to professional skills which Paul could use on different occasions. These abilities are [Culinary], [Journalism], [Performance Arts], [Music], [Programming], and other abilities of such. Most of them costs 250,000 PP in total to unlock and level up to Level 5. There are quite plenty of abilities that Paul currently unlocked and has a level on them though, basing the skills he had learned and acquired from his past life.
'Status.' Paul commanded silently.

He has a lot of life skills and professional skills brought from his past life. Living up to 40 years old, with his active lifestyle and work, he eventually picked up a lot of skills from here and there. Close Combat, Music, and Voice Skills were personal hobbies though.
Paul sighed, 'I still have a lot to do and learn before I can relax in this life. Also, I need to start planning in earning Prestige Points from the system.' He thought before continuing Ditto and Eevee's training.
