16. Browsing Part 3

After a moment's consideration, you decide to focus on getting a Witche or Synthan for your starter. Sure, they aren't as powerful in combat, but their sheer versatility and evolutionary options should be enough to make up for it in your opinion.

You bring up the profiles of all the interesting Witches and Synthans you found earlier and glance through them, narrowing down the list to three individuals from each breed.

------------------ 

[] Witch Option A

Price: 40, 000 SLC

Notes: Born and raised on a Ranch specializing in magical types, this Witch only just became old enough to be sold. Her power is noted to be a little above average, but her lack of experience and limited spells has lowered the price a little. Personality wise, she seems very calm and relaxed. 

[] Witch Option B

Price: 45, 000 SLC

Notes: Surprisingly enough, this Witch is actually a feralborn that was recently caught in the wild. The tamer who caught her noted that even as a feral she seemed to have above average magical reserves and an instinctive grasp of fire magic, making her a fairly dangerous combatant. She still isn't used to civilized life yet, though, and her habit of lashing out aggressively at those that anger her has lowered her price somewhat. Personality wise, she's very passionate and wild. 

[] Witch Option C

Price: 45, 000 SLC

Notes: A recent threshold case, you'd normally pass this one over in favor of a more experienced girl. However, looking over her profile revealed that she was formerly a student at a small magical school, meaning that this Witch has a solid grasp over the basic fundamentals of arcane theory. Her former teachers have also added notes saying that she has a talent for Black magic, though you're not sure what exactly that entails. She seems rather gloomy and depressed, though you're unsure how much of that is a reaction to her recent thresholding. 

[] Synthan Option A

Price: 45, 000 SLC

Notes: Another Ranch girl who just reached her majority, this pokegirl is a standard member of her species with no real noteworthy features apart from the fact that she has not yet begun to adapt any other pokegirl genetics. Personality wise, she is very cold and logical. 

[] Synthan Option B

Price: 50, 000

Notes: Having absorbed a number of traits from insectoid pokegirls, this particular Synthan has developed a Poison affinity. She's primarily a physical battler, preferring to wear down her opponents through her venomous secretions, though she is relatively fragile due to her adaptation's focus on speed over stamina. Personality wise, she is somewhat mischievous, with a rather caustic sense of humor.  

[] Synthan Option C

Price: 60, 000

Notes: This particular individual has developed a ghost affinity, allowing her to turn invisible and intangible at will - though her former owner notes that keeping it up for too long will exhaust her quickly. She also has no problem fighting even while blindfolded, though you're unsure how exactly she does so. Personality wise, she is very quiet and mysterious, preferring to lurk in the background whenever possible. 

---------------------------------

Hmm... not bad. Your 'official' budget is 80, 000 SLC, but you have 100, 000 SLC total in your account. If you wanted to, you could afford to buy two pokegirls instead of one, though that would almost assuredly mean that you'd be less prepared equipment wise. 

Decisions, decisions... A quick glance at the time reveals that you've still got about ten minutes remaining, so you decide to...

[] Buy

- [] Which pokegirl? Can buy more then one, but total price must not exceed 100, 000 SLC

[] Not buy. Look at something else instead

- [] What? 

---------------------------------

QM Note: If you're wondering why the Witches seem to be cheaper, it's cause of that crit you got earlier while searching.
