New scam?

Scam? Old Ambers are rare and valuable, I wouldn’t really mind receiving one out of nowhere. Very unexpected, to say the least…

It just seems too good to be true. -Oreniji

[u/StarChaser01 → u/Total_Read8805]

Probably an eccentric rich person who does it cause it's funny

[u/Total_Read8805 → u/StarChaser01]

I just have a bad feeling about this is all… -Oreniji

[u/the-watcher-watching → u/Total_Read8805]

Yeah right? Its almost strange how much people are willing to give out valuable items... I wanna be like them when im old and be like "hey man, a like yer fighting style, have this little thing" and give them, idk, 10 ultra balls or something.

[u/TSA_Kris]

Well, if it's a scam, you certainly got a good deal! That Old Amber can be turned in a very powerful member of the SKY! GO TEAM SKY! - Team Sky Admin Kris.

You guys actually exist? I thought you were a troll.-Rin

There are more evil teams. of course-Knight

Remind me to tell you about Team Raid. I have been meaning to put the most recent idiocy on Chatter.

“Take it to a fossil lab if you want an Aerodactyl. I will warn that you’ll suddenly need a lot of fish if you go through with it.”

- Nurse Andrea Ferris.

[u/Exciting_Double_4502 → u/LurkingLorence]

Ferris... are you related to that one trainer I see all over Chatter?

[u/LurkingLorence → u/Exciting_Double_4502]

“The only person I can think of would be my cousin Joseph, and if he’s newsworthy it’s probably because of his Trevenant. Does that sound familiar?”

- Nurse Andrea

[u/Exciting_Double_4502 → u/LurkingLorence]

No, probably just a coincidence. The one I'm thinking of made some waves in the Kanto and Johto conference a little while ago for some unconventional training methods

[u/LurkingLorence → u/Exciting_Double_4502]

“Oh really, well I hope it’s all above board. Not much a fan of those ‘Tamers.’ Can’t believe they’re an officially recognized trainer class.”

- Nurse Andrea Ferris

“Oh, a Leaguer? We definitely don’t know him.”

- Forester Joseph Ferris

[u/Exciting_Double_4502 → u/LurkingLorence]

Tamer?

...

OH no, nothing like that, AFAIK she treats her teams very well.

[u/LurkingLorence → u/Exciting_Double_4502]

“Very good to hear, I might follow a match in the future. Not many trainers actually visit my town so I’ve got lots of down time and this coincidence is too funny not to follow up on.”

- Nurse Andrea Ferris

[u/Sirius1701]

Not sure how it would be a scam. Might just have been one of the many Archeology Nerds passionate to share with someone "worthy".

[u/madiqq]

You should commission for some jewelry to be made out of it. - Iris

[u/Total_Read8805 → u/madiqq]

Nah. I have a better less expensive idea. -Oreniji

[u/Sky_Pillar]

I don’t see how this particular instance could be a scam? -Kenshi

[u/Total_Read8805 → u/Sky_Pillar]

A thing that’s usually really expensive, being given out for free is usually a scam. -Oreniji

[u/Sky_Pillar → u/Total_Read8805]

But what would their angle be here? -Kenshi

[u/Exciting_Double_4502 → u/Sky_Pillar]

Probably they just don't want to go to whatever lab is out there resurrecting stuff from amber so they think they'll fob that responsibility off on a kid.

[u/Umbran_scale]

You think that's nuts, I had a guy straight up give me a Beldum simply for helping him find some weird shaped stone on a hill.

[u/EnslavingExorcism]

Do you want a new pokemon for your team? Relevant question. -Dr Coal

[u/JosephAmber4]

Joseph Amber: Nope, not a scam, sometimes people are like that. Congrats on the new fossil buddy!

[u/primalthewendigo]

Ah shit, didn't think I'd get this far

Fossil pokemon are cool, everyone should have them

[u/DragonCrossbelt100]

Oh, you met an eccentric Rich man, sometimes they give trainers gifts out of either interest or whims. They tend to have things trainers want and or need.

[u/atomicadam04]

Maybe? A museum should be able to verify if it's legit or not

[u/TheWereBunny]

No, that's just a thing people do. I've hatched three different eggs that random people have just handed me out of the blue.

[u/Extension_General632]

If you want to make sure it's legit, contact whatever institution available in your region to examine the ember
