Next, Eichi took two Evolution Stones from his backpack and held them out to Amelie.

He said to Sister Amelie, "Sister Amelie, do you need Evolution Stones? I can sell them to you."

Amelie was truly shocked this time. Were these two Evolution Stones also obtained from a trade with the Beedrill tribe?

Your luck was way too good!

Eichi said somewhat embarrassedly, "Not bad, not bad."

Amelie: ...

Returning to the topic, Amelie picked up the two Evolution Stones and examined them carefully.

Then she said to Eichi, "Both of your Evolution Stones are of very good quality. They've already reached the peak of mid-tier Evolution Stones."

"They're not far from Top-tier Evolution Stones. How about this? I'll give you 700,000 for each one."

Seeing Eichi hesitate, Amelie continued, "But there's something I need to tell you. Although your Evolution Stones are only a little short of Top-tier, they still aren't Top-tier."

"The difference is enormous. If they were Top-tier Evolution Stones, the starting price would be at least one million."

"Right now, the price of a Top-tier Evolution Stone has already been driven up to over ten million. Even so, no one is willing to sell a Top-tier Evolution Stone."

After hearing that, Eichi said, "All right, 700,000 it is."

After he agreed, Sister Amelie asked Eichi for his League Card so she could transfer the money to him.

"Since I was little, I've only seen three Top-tier Evolution Stones. One of them was at a top-tier auction. It was a Top-tier Fire Stone, and it sold for the sky-high price of fifty million."

"Although the effects of Top-tier Evolution Stones only make them worth a little over a million, they're just far too rare."

The 300,000 from the honey plus 1.4 million from the two Evolution Stones came to a total of 1.7 million.

Amelie took out a machine from her drawer that was similar to a POS machine from Eichi's previous life. She inserted her card into it, then entered Eichi's card number on the keyboard below.

After Amelie transferred the money, Eichi was not done yet. He said solemnly to Sister Amelie, "Sister Amelie, I want to learn Breeding Knowledge."

Amelie was not surprised. She had long known that, given Eichi's personality, he would learn Breeding Knowledge sooner or later.

This was not the piecemeal knowledge Eichi had learned at the Breeding House before, but systematic learning from the very beginning.

There was a great deal to learn, and it was also very difficult.

However, Eichi was quite confident in himself. He believed he could do it.

With an expression that said she had known all along, Amelie told Eichi, "I knew you would learn Breeding Knowledge, so I prepared this for you long ago."

As she spoke, she took more than a dozen books from her small bag.

"Here, these are the books I used when I studied Breeding Knowledge. They contain my notes, and they'll be very helpful for you."

"However, they only cover knowledge up to the level of a Basic Breeder. If you want to learn intermediate Breeding Knowledge, you'll have to go to Silver Academy."

Eichi said gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Amelie. You're really too good to me."

Sister Amelie was a little unable to take it anymore and said, "Enough! I'm your sister, after all."

"This is the gift I prepared for you."

Then Sister Amelie returned Eichi's League Card after the transfer was complete.

After taking the League Card, Eichi chatted with Sister Amelie for a while longer before leaving.

Next, Eichi went to Lianfang Department Store and took the elevator directly to the sixth floor.

Now that Eichi had money, he naturally came to buy TMs for Beedrill.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw countless shelves filled with TMs.

When she saw Eichi emerge, a female sales clerk came over to greet him.

She asked with a smile, "Hello, what kind of TM are you looking for?"

Eichi said, "I want TMs that Beedrill can learn."

The sales clerk said, "Certainly, please follow me." As she spoke, she gestured ahead and continued while walking, "There are many moves Beedrill can learn here."

"Is this your first time here?"

Eichi said, "Yes."

"Did your Beedrill evolve only recently?"

"Understood. Then I recommend seven TMs: Double Team, Brick Break, Aerial Ace, Toxic, Infestation, Swords Dance, and Hidden Power."

Eichi nodded and said, "All right, take me to look at them."

The sales clerk led Eichi to a shelf.

She took a TM from the second row. Eichi looked at its name: Double Team Price: 50,000.

Double Team: Moves rapidly to create copies that confuse the opponent, raising evasion.

Then the sales clerk took out Toxic, Brick Break, Swords Dance, Aerial Ace, Infestation, and Hidden Power.

There's no need to learn too many at the beginning. I need to improve Beedrill's offensive options.

After thinking carefully, Eichi chose Double Team, Brick Break, and Hidden Power.

Brick Break: Attacks the opponent with a fierce downward chop, and can also shatter Light Screen, Reflect, and the like.

Hidden Power: The move's type changes depending on the Pokémon using it.

Double Team cost 50,000, Brick Break cost 100,000, and Hidden Power cost 120,000, for a total of 270,000.

Eichi asked the sales clerk to pack up the TMs he had selected.

A Disc Case was also needed to use TMs. It was not expensive either, only 20,000.

Speaking of which, TMs were truly a piece of black technology. Moves were recorded onto discs, then Pokémon learned them through the Disc Case.

The Disc Case was a rectangular block with a rectangular slot underneath. Pressing the switch at the side would cause a circular groove to slide out, where the disc could be placed.

There were two wires on top of the machine. One end of each was connected to the machine, while the other ended in a circular fastener. All one had to do was place the circular end on the Pokémon's head.

A TM could only be used once before it was damaged and could not be used a second time.

Moreover, TMs had an extremely high success rate of ninety-nine percent.

After the sales clerk packed everything, Eichi paid and thanked her. Amid her "Please come again," he went downstairs.

TMs really were expensive. The ones Eichi bought were all relatively cheap. For moves like Hyper Beam and Fire Blast, it was impossible to get them without spending hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Since it was still early, Eichi planned to give Beedrill some training so it could learn the TMs tomorrow.

When they arrived at the Small Woods, it was still quiet.

Eichi had just been about to have Beedrill warm up.

Suddenly, a blue figure darted out from ahead. Beedrill hurriedly flew in front of Eichi and became alert.

Eichi focused his eyes and saw that it was yesterday's Heracross. It was holding something in both hands...

A Pokémon Egg!

Heracross placed the egg on the ground and said to Eichi, "Hera, Hera... It... is yours... Take care of it... Train it well..."

After saying that, it turned around, beat its wings, and flew away.

Eichi stood there somewhat dazed. Heracross gave me a Pokémon Egg?

Was it testing my training ability yesterday?

Lost in wild thoughts, Eichi walked forward and picked up the Pokémon Egg.

The egg was covered in cyan cloud-like patterns. It felt warm to the touch, and Beedrill watched it curiously as well.

Eichi smiled and said to Beedrill, "You were like this too, when I found you."
