Beginner, Ordinary, Elite, Gym, Overlord, Champion, Champion...
This was humanity's rough classification of Pokémon strength below Legendary Pokémon.
If it was below Elite,
then Pokémon between roughly levels 0 and 20 could participate.
Although entering the competition somewhat conflicted with his idea of becoming a Breeder...
But...
The rewards were just too plentiful, weren't they?
"Snivy, what do you think?"
Thus, Lin Feng tossed this difficult question to Snivy.
"Snivy?"
"Snivy..."
It shook its head, indicating that it could not understand the words above. Out of everything written there, it could only recognize one word: Gardevoir...
"You agree too, right? Alright, I'm going to sign up."
Lin Feng eagerly walked into the supermarket.
Snivy: ???
So he was just replying at random after reading it, huh?
As he entered the supermarket, Lin Feng was surprised to find that there were quite a few people registering.
He suddenly realized something.
It was summer vacation right now.
The Junior Trainer Exam had just ended, making this the most leisurely time of the year.
That was why the supermarket had specifically organized a Baby Cup competition.
It was meant to inspire Rookie Trainers to nurture their Pokémon enthusiastically.
After all...
Raising Pokémon required resources, and where did those resources come from?
Naturally, they could only be bought from the supermarket...
With just a tiny amount of prize money, it could greatly boost the supermarket's sales.
Damn it.
What a brilliant tactic!
Lin Feng silently cursed in his heart,
then felt that this "tactic" was indeed quite good.
Once his Breeding Shop opened in the future, he would use it too!
"Handsome, is this your Pokémon? It's so cute."
At that moment, a young female supermarket employee walked over and praised Snivy.
Following her words, Lin Feng agreed. "Yes, it is a very cute Pokémon."
Snivy's face reddened, and its body became a little stiff.
"Are you here for the Baby Cup too? What do you think of the Baby Cup our Wangwang Supermarket is holding this time?"
The young woman was clearly here to conduct market research.
"I think it's excellent. It gives Rookie Trainers an opportunity to battle while also motivating them to train their Pokémon. If possible, though, I think the prizes aren't generous enough. They could be even higher."
Lin Feng spoke with a straight face. "That way, I'll be even happier after I take first place."
His blunt words left the employee, who normally dealt with all sorts of customers, completely stunned.
Then she could not help but laugh. "Handsome, are you very confident in your strength? Are you a Trainer from some Pokémon school?"
"No. More accurately, I should be a Breeder... I'm only a part-time Trainer..."
Lin Feng flashed a brilliant smile.
"Uh... alright."
Seeing his answer, the young woman did not know what to say. After exchanging a few polite remarks, she left.
But she silently mocked him in her heart.
"As expected, a newborn calf isn't afraid of a tiger... Does he really think the supermarket would let the first-place prize go to just anyone?"
She shook her head.
She knew that the supermarket owner's son would also be participating in the Baby Cup.
And his Pokémon was a Lapras!
Snivy's "Grassy Terrain" Use
Registering was simple. He only needed to fill out some information and submit a 1,000 League Coin deposit.
The 1,000 League Coins were meant to ensure that Trainers showed up on time.
After all, once matches had been arranged, it would be far too awkward if too many participants failed to appear.
But it was different once money had been paid. After paying, people would subconsciously remember the matter.
Of course,
the organizers would return the money after the competition ended.
By the time he had registered, it was nearly ten in the morning. After thinking it over, Lin Feng decided to buy a few things before heading home.
Familiar with the place, he went to the Berry section of the supermarket and bought the ingredients for Nourishing Energy Cubes. Then he looked at Snivy in his arms. "Is there anything you need to buy?"
"Snivy?"
Snivy shook its head. It had only secretly observed humans from the edge of the forest before.
It had never seen a supermarket like this.
Still, it quietly remembered that the small square machine in his hand—the phone—could be used to exchange for many things.
"Should I buy a Rotom too?"
Lin Feng fell into thought.
For a Gym or Breeding House, Rotom was definitely the best helper. Whether it was recording information, forecasting the weather, or monitoring soil moisture, Rotom could do all of it.
It was also the only Pokémon that did not take up one of a Trainer's Pokémon slots.
But the thought only flashed through his mind briefly.
In the end, it became one sentence. "Forget it. I'll buy one once I have money."
There was not much money left from his parents.
He had checked yesterday. There were only around 320,000 left, while a single Rotom cost 250,000.
He had to keep some money for emergencies.
Besides, the Plantation was not very large yet, and he could manage it alone.
After buying everything, Lin Feng spotted some Forage Seeds on his way back. After considering it, he felt that rather than letting the rest of the land become overgrown with weeds again, he might as well plant some forage.
He remembered that in Huaqiao Village, under Wutong City's jurisdiction, someone had established a Miltank ranch and would sometimes buy dried forage from outside.
Even if they did not buy it, he could plant it himself later.
The idea of raising some milk-producing Miltank had long taken root in his mind.
A qualified Breeding House could not possibly have Pokémon that were too limited in variety.
Some League-recognized Breeding Houses raised dozens of Pokémon species and could even become the first stop for Rookie Trainers, allowing them to choose Starter Pokémon.
But it would definitely be busy then.
Thinking about it, being a Breeder seemed rather like being an office worker.
(How tragic~)
Once everything was settled, Lin Feng directly took Snivy out for steak. However, it commented, "Snivy." (It doesn't seem as tasty as the noodles you made...)
That made Lin Feng laugh.
What a joke.
He was a God-tier Breeder!
Compared with his previous life, due to the powerful strength of Pokémon in this world, a small number of ordinary animals had already gone extinct. The remaining ordinary animals could only reproduce and survive under human protection.
After returning home, the first thing Lin Feng did was make Nourishing Energy Cubes for Feebas.
He was already very familiar with the process. In just over ten minutes, fresh Energy Cubes came out of the machine.
Nourishing Energy Cube: C-rank Energy Cube made from Sitrus Berries and Poffin Grass. Long-term consumption could keep skin or scales smooth and lustrous.
Cooking Effect: An Energy Cube that combined the effects of Sitrus Berries and Poffin Grass, bringing the effects of these two secret ingredients to their fullest. After consumption, Charm increased by 15% for 1 hour.
"Hm?"
Lin Feng let out a surprised sound.
How was an attribute like Charm supposed to be measured?
Would it have an effect if he ate one?
He crushed the warm Energy Cubes and put them into the fish tank, watching Feebas happily eat them.
Along with an indescribable change.
Lin Feng rubbed his eyes. He felt that the Feebas before him seemed to have actually become a little prettier?
Its scales had become smoother, gradually changing from dark gray toward milky white, while its fish eyes had become a little more refined.
