[Oh, jeez...another instance where Ochako really, really wishes she had Izuku's innate ability to just pull a notebook out from thin air and take this all down. Or that there was a school or quick crash course that just taught all this stuff instead of having to sit and slog through page upon page of the hefty guidebook. Ochako isn't the smartest of students, but she's not stupid either. She's just painfully average. Still, even she gets antsy when she has to read a bajillion chapters of things that just don't make sense to her. She's way more hands-on.
BUT. Now you're talking her language, Dimitri. Ochako's head snaps to attention when the topic of money comes up, and she hangs on every word, soaking it all up like a sponge and immediately shoving that morsel of information away in her longterm. If there's one thing Ochako knows, it's money and finances. She's excellent at math and science, especially business math and accounting.]
O-Oh my-- [That's amazing? That is so amazing? She immediately begins to mutter, sitting down cross-legged with her Pokemon in her lap, knuckles pressed to her chin. Truly, she and Izuku are the same sometimes - cut from the same cloth indeed.] If the conversion rate in this world is similar to yen, then that'd be the equivalent of 10,000 yen if and when I defeat that first gym. From recollection, pokeballs cost about 200...so that'd be 50 pokeballs...but factoring in the possible shop discount...
[Her fingers begin to twitch and move as she begins doing the mental math in her head, muttering getting faster, quieter. Eclair just. Stares at her trainer, blinking slowly and papping Ochako on the arm. Hey.]
--nd if I also equate the cost of food for myself and my Pokemon, and that I'm also able to gain more money from fighting other people along routes like I did this one...and how long ingredients can keep... [Murmur, murmur... Eclair paps her trainer again. Harder this time.] Ah! Ah...hahah...s-sorry. But that was such wonderful information to know!! Dimitri-san, thank you so much! If I'm doing my math right, and shop around to look at prices, I can probably even have some saving left over as well depending on my needs and wants! Eclair-chan, say thank you, too!! If I can save up a lot of money, then I'll treat you to some really, really tasty fish!! And Parfait-chan, too!
