After taking the materials, the Senior didn't stay long, said goodbye to him, and went home, leaving Fang Yuan alone in the club room.
Fang Yuan didn't idle either, using the books here and searching for information on his phone to digest the memories he had just obtained.
But as he was reading, Fang Yuan suddenly patted his stomach.
Gulu...
His stomach grumbled indignantly.
"I forgot to eat. I wonder if the school cafeteria is still open during the College Entrance Examination."
"Let's go take a look..."
Fang Yuan tidied up a bit and then glanced at the time. It was almost two o'clock, and the possibility of the cafeteria having food was slim, but he mainly wanted to go to the Kiosk Auntie inside the cafeteria to buy a bread and maybe a bottle of Yingyang Express.
But the reality was that on such a day, Kiosk Auntie had already left and wasn't here at all.
After wandering around for nothing, Fang Yuan, feeling very helpless, had no choice but to leave the school and casually find a restaurant outside to order a rice bowl.
"Waiter, Yu Xiang Rou Si rice bowl."
"Okay," said the restaurant boy.
Wait a minute!
After sitting down in a cool spot near the air conditioner, Fang Yuan suddenly fell into deep thought.
Yu Xiang Rou Si? What kind of meat?
That's right, in my memory, this world is one where Pokémon and ordinary animals coexist.
Although the ecology in various places suffered severe damage when the Secret Realm first appeared, after decades of human intervention, the ecological environment has gradually stabilized.
The price of ecological balance in the wild is that most ordinary animals can only live in zoos, farms, and specific protected areas, while the wild has become a paradise for Pokémon.
How Pokémon can coexist harmoniously with ordinary animals in an ecosystem has always been one of the important problems that humans have been trying to overcome.
Facts have proven that it's best not to put Pokémon and ordinary animals together. Once, a Trainer made the news for doing just that. He left his pet dog Teddy and the Fire-type Pokémon Growlithe alone at home, and when the Trainer returned home that night, he found that Teddy had almost been burned to death...
"Pfft..." Recalling this, Fang Yuan laughed. What a talent! This is still a mild example. It's not uncommon for ordinary animals to become food for Pokémon, after all, the combat power of the two is not even in the same league.
Soon, the food arrived. Fang Yuan was really hungry, and he quickly finished a plate of rice. In the end, he also grabbed a bottle of Iced Cola to drink, feeling very satisfied.
"Check out, scan the code." Looking at the empty plate, Fang Yuan wiped his mouth with a tissue, took out his phone, and turned his head to say.
...
After coming out of the restaurant, Fang Yuan thought for a while and didn't go back to school, but went straight home.
After six in the morning and before ten at night, there is no one else at Fang Yuan's house. Father Fang is an Electrician, and Mother Fang sells clothes in the Shopping Mall and gets off work very late.
At this moment, Fang Yuan, back at home, had only one thought in mind: what kind of beginner Pokémon is suitable for him?
Although there are still some days before going to the Breeding House to buy a Pokémon Egg, there's nothing wrong with considering it in advance.
Hmm...
Suicune is quite beautiful...
Articuno is also passable.
Or maybe... Diancie?
After a moment, Fang Yuan also felt that his fantasies were unreliable.
"With not-so-good family conditions, Grass-type Pokémon are definitely the first choice."
"The head teacher also hinted at this, and Teacher Li also gave me advice."
After searching online, Fang Yuan found that the Peaceful City public Breeding House openly sold quite a few types of Grass-type Pokémon Eggs, Bellsprout, Oddish, Hoppip, Sunkern, Paras...
But...
"No Bulbasaur... no Treecko... no Turtwig... not a single starter!"
After looking again carefully, the sharp-eyed Fang Yuan noticed a reservation notice in the upper right corner of the webpage.
Clicking on the small question mark icon, he understood that if he wanted to buy some rarer Pokémon Eggs, he needed to submit a request to the Breeding House in advance.
"Forget it, I definitely can't afford rare Pokémon anyway."
Fang Yuan did the math. He had a huge tuition fee to pay in his third year of high school. Each person needs to pay at least 5 years of taxes when registering as a Trainer for the first time. Then, he had to set aside money for nutritional products and food for the Pokémon this year. The remaining money was for buying Pokémon Eggs. The budget was insufficient.
Everyone wants to choose rare and high-potential Pokémon as their starter Pokémon, and Fang Yuan is no exception. However, considering his family's financial resources, he could only cough and give up.
"Easy to raise, high potential, I'll focus on these two labels. It seems I still have to look among Grass-type Pokémon. Moreover, Grass-type Pokémon Eggs seem to have the cheapest average price."
When it comes to being easy to raise, Grass-type Pokémon are definitely ranked first. Most Grass-type Pokémon can survive just by basking in the sun. Of course, if any idiot dares to raise one like this for a year, the Pokémon's combat power will definitely be very weak.
After watching for a while, Fang Yuan began to worry. He found that he was suffering from choice paralysis, thinking each one looked good.
"Is there no other way?"
"No... there's still it."
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up. How could he forget the anime? It seemed he was hit hard by the Breeder test questions just now.
Ash, the protagonist of the anime, had some experience that could inspire him during his long journey through several regions.
"I remember a plot in the anime where Ash's Grotle accidentally swallowed its own Energy Ball move, and then suddenly went berserk, displaying very strong power."
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan quickly searched for the Energy Ball move, but unfortunately, the information was scarce. The information online only stated that Energy Ball was a move containing huge energy and listed which Pokémon could learn it.
If there was nothing online, it didn't matter. He had some other impressions of this move.
"Energy Ball, the principle is to emit life force collected from nature, this is the description in the game, I should not have misremembered it, but what does this have to do with Grotle's strength increasing greatly after swallowing the Energy Ball? Also, is this method of going berserk suitable for other Grass-type Pokémon besides Grotle?... Never mind, I'll mark it down first, I must learn Energy Ball."
Fang Yuan smiled triumphantly, feeling that he had found a clue.
"Well, perhaps, I can create my own breeding plan around the point of 'strength increasing greatly after swallowing Energy Ball'?"
"But it always feels a bit unreliable. Won't the Energy Ball leave hidden injuries in the body..."
"Let's assume there will be hidden injuries first, then can the hidden injuries be repaired?"
"Let me think, Photosynthesis must be learned, Giga Drain, must be learned, Growth, is also very useful, and Root, Grassy Terrain..."
Fang Yuan took out a pen and notebook, taking notes seriously, immediately immersing himself in it.
The tip of the pen moved across the paper, and as he looked at the content described by the words, Fang Yuan suddenly realized something. Regardless of whether this idea was feasible or whether he would really buy a Grass-type Pokémon Egg, he felt that he couldn't give up halfway, because this was the first time he had thought independently as a Trainer.
ps1: Diamond & Pearl Episode 139, Ash's Grotle ate its own Energy Ball, increasing its power, and cooperated with Rock Climb to fight against Palmer, the strongest Frontier Brain in the Sinnoh region.
ps2: Seeking collection, seeking recommendation, Fang Yuan's Growth urgently needs nourishment~~
