Joyful Pokémon Grow Stronger? Then I Won't Be a Trainer — Part 3

One of his Charizard had defeated a challenger in a single move with overwhelming momentum!

Only then did Lin Feng belatedly realize it.

This world did not only have Pill Emperor,

but also Lance of the Elite Four, and Cynthia, who was challenging the Sinnoh League Elite Four...

Most of the people from his memories could be found here.

Hmm...

A very interesting parallel world.

After crossing over,

his first wish had been to become a Pokémon Master!

But things were different now.

Eighteen years of an ordinary life

had worn away too much of his passion.

He should become a Breeder instead.

A Breeder could spend time with even more Pokémon.

Lost in thought...

he had already arrived at the plantation behind his house.

Having been left untended for years, the abandoned fields were overgrown with weeds. They were lush and green, but also chaotic and untidy.

His family's plantation was quite large.

Altogether, it was about the size of a football field.

Back then, it had been filled with seasonal crops every season, flourishing with life.

Now, only a few thriving Peachy Fruit and Oran Berry trees remained.

The Peach Trees were growing luxuriantly, and it was currently fruiting season.

"Hmm?"

As Lin Feng was sighing to himself,

a blue-green shadow flashed across his vision.

Red Aptitude Contrary Snivy?

It seemed to vanish in an instant, but Lin Feng had clearly caught sight of it.

A Snivy?

A Snivy with Red Aptitude!

And one with Contrary!?

Lin Feng's eyes widened in surprise.

Although Pokémon were creatures with limitless potential,

their growth was still innately limited to some extent.

According to the information provided by the Word of Discovery,

these limitations were divided into white, green, blue, purple, red, and gold.

The further down the scale, the greater a Pokémon's potential achievements,

but that was only relative.

It was not as though Pokémon with White Aptitude had no chance of growing into top-tier powerhouses!

They merely needed the right opportunity!

That opportunity could be excellent training, or an exceptionally powerful bond...

"Come out. You stole my things, and now you're hiding? Don't tell me you're a thief?"

Rather than immediately dragging it out from behind the Peach Tree, Lin Feng used Evergreen Power to convey his meaning.

As a Breeder, he understood Snivy's temperament very well.

They were intelligent and proud Pokémon.

They were somewhat selective when it came to choosing Trainers.

The Snivy behind the tree was initially confused, but its face soon turned red.

Clearly, after this human had appeared, it realized that this abandoned plantation was not ownerless land.

Once it understood that,

it willingly came out.

Its slender body had a lily-like ornament on its blue-green back. Its creamy white belly reflected a soft sheen beneath the sunlight. Even in the real world, Snivy's skin was as smooth as jade...

It wrung its tiny hands and lowered its head.

"Snivy?" (Is this your Peach Tree?)

With Evergreen Power,

Lin Feng could easily understand what Snivy meant.

"Of course..."

He looked at the Snivy with a faint smile, then thoughtfully glanced at the Peachy Fruit pits scattered all over the ground. "Looks like you've eaten quite a lot of Peachy Fruit."

"Stealing other people's things isn't a good habit."

"Snivy..." (But I didn't know this was your Peach Tree.)

Snivy became even more embarrassed.

It had only thought that the Peachy Fruit here tasted a little better than those in the wild.

"Snivy..." (I'll go pick Peachy Fruit outside to compensate you!)

Lin Feng shook his head. "The Peachy Fruit outside can't compare to the ones carefully grown at my home."

"How about this? I happen to be cleaning up this plantation over the next few days. Why don't you stay and do some work?"

"Snivy?"

Snivy raised its head, curiosity gleaming in its amber-like eyes.

"Like this. Pull out all the weeds."

Lin Feng set an example by pulling up a weed in front of him and placing it by the roadside.

"Snivy..." (Okay.)

Snivy breathed a sigh of relief.

Its personality would not allow it to steal.

"Of course, I'll cover your meals during this time."

Seeing Snivy agree, Lin Feng smiled as well.

Having a helper during the plantation's early stages could not have been better.

At the very least...

if he had to pull all these weeds himself, it would probably take two or three days.

And after planting crops, he would need a capable helper to guard them.

Otherwise,

there were Rattata in the soil and Spearow in the sky.

They would all find ways to eat his crops.

If Snivy could agree to its first "labor contract" now, it would naturally agree to a second one later!

As an Intermediate—crossed out—God-tier Breeder,

Lin Feng had that confidence.

Watching Snivy busily get to work, he nodded. "You pull the weeds first. I'll go make you some Energy Cubes."

"Snivy~" (Leave it to me~)

Snivy nodded earnestly, completely unaware that Lin Feng was already planning how to make it stay.

Crushing, heating, solidifying...

The process of making Energy Cubes was not difficult.

As a student who had possessed the skills of an Intermediate Breeder even before obtaining the system, Lin Feng naturally had all kinds of equipment at home, including a Berry Blender and a Freeze-Dryer for making Energy Cubes.
