Joyful Pokémon Get Stronger? Then I Won't Be a Trainer

This change was quite significant.

"The effect is this good?"

"Snivy, do you want to eat it?"

Lin Feng placed the Energy Cube in front of Snivy again, and the latter gladly accepted it.

After eating it, the change wasn't as noticeable this time—it just looked a bit smoother.

"At this rate, you should be able to evolve in about three or four days."

After a while, Lin Feng took Feebas out of the fish tank.

Looking at the previously pitted areas, which were now slowly healing, he said with satisfaction.

Once he had Milotic, he could... hehehe...

He could slack off~

The summer temperatures were still very high. Newly planted crops generally needed watering, and with fertilizer applied, logically, the plants' demand for water would be even greater.

If Lin Feng had to rely on himself alone, once the Plantation was fully planted, he'd have to stay in it every single day.

So, this was where a Milotic came in handy for watering.

As for now...

Looking at the rolling waves of heat outside, Lin Feng sighed. In the end, he braved the heat and headed toward the Plantation.

Sure enough, just as he expected.

Although the plants had been sown last night, the seedlings were already about ten centimeters tall.

But at the same time, their leaves were also a bit wilted.

Snivy followed along, saw the patch full of Weeds, and began pulling them up on its own initiative.

This time, there was no pretense—its Grass Pulling speed was much faster.

"Snivy, wait, don't pull them yet. Come here."

Lin Feng suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to teach Snivy its Grassy Terrain.

"Snivy?" (What's wrong?)

Snivy thought Lin Feng had caught it deliberately pulling slowly yesterday, and felt a bit embarrassed.

But it still trotted over with small steps. "Snivy..." (I'll finish pulling the weeds quickly.)

"Ah? It's not about that. I'm going to teach you something good."

Lin Feng eagerly took a green disc from the System Space.

According to the information from the system, the method was simple—just slap it onto a Grass-type Pokémon.

This meant that any Grass-type Pokémon could learn this skill, without being limited by species.

"Snivy."

Snivy had just breathed a sigh of relief when it felt a lot of new things suddenly appear in its mind.

The next second, it subconsciously used the skill.

Greenish energy radiated outward.

The two patches of land it had weeded yesterday were instantly covered in fresh green grass again...

Snivy's face darkened.

Chapter 11: Can Squirtle Help Water the Plantation?

Fortunately, it tried it out—these Weeds would immediately disappear as its energy dissipated.

Moreover, Snivy felt that its energy could also control other plants in the area.

Following this energy fluctuation, it closed its eyes and attempted to assimilate the Life Energy within the Grassy Terrain that didn't belong to it, imbuing it with a greenish energy fluctuation.

This attempt wasn't slow. Within five or six seconds, the other Weeds had been assimilated by the Grassy Terrain. Then, at Snivy's thought, all the Weeds within a thirty-meter radius were stripped from the ground.

"Snivy?"

Snivy opened its eyes, and what greeted it was Lin Feng's admiring gaze. "You learn fast. I was just thinking about whether your Grassy Terrain could assimilate the other plants here, but you already did it before I could say anything."

"Snivy~"

Snivy lifted its head, putting on a calm expression.

But the system notification that appeared in Lin Feng's mind gave away its mood.

"Alright, this way we can clear all the Weeds from the entire Plantation quickly."

After praising it once more, Lin Feng turned his attention to the system.

Clearly, the rewards the system had just given were again Golden Fertilizer and Rare Candy.

After receiving so many rewards, Lin Feng had made a few observations.

First, he needed to raise the Joy Value by more than ten points in a single go to trigger the system's reward mechanism.

Second, every Pokémon's first time seems to come with special rewards.

Like Sandshrew's Sand Attack, Feebas's Life Fruit, and Snivy's Special Scale Fruit.

The more Joy Value you gain in one go, the richer the reward.

For example, capturing Snivy and Feebas gave TMs and Aptitude Energy Cubes as gifts.

Especially the latter—it can improve a Pokémon's aptitude!

In the world of Pokémon breeding, that's no easy feat.

Usually, aptitude can only be boosted when dealing with Legendary Pokémon.

Although the materials to make them are a bit expensive.

Compared to Legendary Pokémon, anything money can buy isn't a big problem.

Plus, the system rewards you too.

Life Fruit and Special Scale Fruit are both ingredients for making Aptitude Enhancement Energy Cubes.

They just focus on different things.

Energy Cubes made from Life Fruit significantly boost physical stamina.

Energy Cubes made from Special Scale Fruit significantly boost special attack.

Watching the hardworking Snivy, a smile crept onto Lin Feng's face.

Tsundere was fine—as long as it listened and worked.

"Brother Feng, Brother Feng, are you in here?"

A crisp voice rang out from outside, and a hurried figure pushed open the plantation's fence gate.

Lin Feng didn't need to think to know who it was.

That impatient personality, plus barging into his house without knocking—there was no one else but Qin Shu.

"What's up?"

Lin Feng turned around with a helpless look, only to see the girl in a white short-sleeved shirt with her hair in a bun. Her eyes lit up the moment she spotted him.

"I knew you'd be here,"

Qin Shu said as she came in, glancing around before fixing her gaze on Snivy. Watching it use its internal energy to pull weeds out by the roots, her mouth fell open, and her expression shifted to disbelief. "Snivy, what kind of move is that?"

"Grassy Terrain, duh. What, did the teacher not cover it in class?"

Lin Feng shot her a look. "Or did you just not listen?"

"Ah... well, maybe we haven't gotten to that part yet?"

Qin Shu pursed her lips, her face, already flushed from the sun, turning even redder, awkward as a monkey's rear.

The truth was, she never paid attention in class.

"Heh heh..." Lin Feng let out two merciless chuckles, then asked, "Alright, spit it out. What's the matter?"

"Hehe,"

the girl quickly said, "It's just, just—Brother Feng, you don't know, there's this really annoying guy in my class who's always been at odds with me. Even during summer break, he keeps texting me every day, so I challenged him to a Pokémon battle. I told him if he loses, he has to stop messaging me."

"Then he said he's entering the Baby Cup hosted by Wangwang Supermarket and wants to settle it there!"

"But his Pokémon is a Grass-type Bulbasaur, and I'm a bit scared I can't beat it..."

Lin Feng cut her off. "So you want my Snivy to help train your Squirtle?"

"Exactly, exactly," Qin Shu nodded seriously.

"Uh..."

Lin Feng couldn't help but tease, "What a childish challenge..."

The guy probably liked Qin Shu, which was why he kept messaging her.

"He's so annoying, you know? Brother Feng!"

Seeing Lin Feng silent, Qin Shu grabbed his arm and shook it, whining, "Just help me out~ Brother Feng..."

"Alright, alright."

Lin Feng pulled his hand away with a headache.

It wasn't that he disagreed.

After all, as a Breeder, this might be his first job.

Plus, he needed to borrow Grandpa Qin's Sandshrew.

He was just worried Snivy wouldn't agree.

Because that Squirtle had a bit of a goofy vibe.

"Snivy?"
