Teacher Jiang Ben walked up to Eichi and said, "I have to say, Eichi, your luck is truly incredible."
"Joltik's body is extremely healthy."
"I stayed in the Unova Region for a while before."
"I know quite a bit about Joltik's various data. I've also seen two Joltik with outstanding talent."
"When I compared the data from when they hatched with your Joltik's, I found that—"
"Every single metric surpassed theirs."
"Let's start with its appearance. A newly hatched Joltik with slightly better aptitude would usually be fifty centimeters tall and weigh 0.4 kilograms."
"Your Joltik, meanwhile, is sixty centimeters tall and weighs 0.55 kilograms."
"And there's no need to mention its cell activity, energy intensity, and so on."
"Taking everything together, we can confirm that your Joltik has outstanding aptitude, at the second stage."
"That can be considered exceptionally high."
"Oh, right. Where did you get this Joltik?"
Eichi replied, "It was one of the things I traded for using my Champion reward."
Teacher Jiang Ben suddenly understood. "So that's how it is. No wonder its aptitude is so good."
"Oh, right, I also received a complimentary Joltik breeding manual. Teacher Jiang Ben, would you like to take a look?" Eichi suddenly asked.
Teacher Jiang Ben shook his head. "I do research, not breeding. Besides, I already know what Joltik at this stage should eat."
As he spoke, a female researcher approached with two test tubes filled with yellow liquid.
The researcher fitted nipples onto the tops of the test tubes, opened the glass enclosure, and placed them in front of Joltik.
Catching the scent of the liquid, Joltik twitched its nose and immediately woke up.
Then it bit down on a nipple and began to suck.
Its eyes curved upward in delight. It clearly loved what was inside.
