The Hidden Reward

Eichi picked up the Pokéblock. It was entirely blue and looked very beautiful.

It felt room temperature in his hand, and a strange, fragrant Berry scent drifted from it, making him want to eat it.

This was an Advanced Pokéblock suitable for all Water-type Pokémon.

Eating it could promote the growth of Water-type Pokémon.

Compared to those made outside, Eichi's were definitely of better quality. However, theirs were mass-produced by machines, capable of producing hundreds of Pokéblocks at once.

Their quality was consistently ordinary, something Eichi could not achieve.

Making ten or twenty at once was no problem for him, but forty or fifty was beyond him.

Of course, ordinary Advanced Pokéblocks like this posed no challenge to him now. He could make them whenever he wanted.

He could also make some Pokéblocks with two attributes.

However, Pokéblocks specifically designed for a single type of Pokémon were not so easy.

For example, a Pokéblock specially made solely for Beedrill.

Eichi had the formula for that as well, but he still could not make it. Even if he did, it would only be defective quality, so he could only buy it outside.

He slung his backpack over his shoulders and headed out. After a
