This young man... could only be courted, never offended.

That was also why he had personally come to receive Lin Feng and let him choose a Pokémon this time.

"Thank you for the trouble."

Although his first impression of this father had not been very good, one did not slap a smiling face, so Lin Feng still thanked him.

He followed Chi Heng into the supermarket. After winding through several turns, they finally arrived before a warehouse, where two law enforcement officers and two imposing Growlithe stood guard outside.

After showing their identification, the two entered without issue.

The interior was brightly lit, with over a hundred glass display cases holding all kinds of Pokémon Eggs.

Staff in white coats moved among the eggs, occasionally taking one out to inspect its condition.

"This way. The Starter Pokémon Eggs are over here."

Chi Heng walked ahead,

leading Lin Feng to a dozen or so Pokémon Eggs.

The information for each egg was clearly written beside it.

Pokémon: Charmander,

Mother: Produced by a six-year-old, Gym-level Charizard.

Possible Inherited Skills: Bite, Dragon Tail.

Pokémon: Bulbasaur,

Mother: Produced by a seven-year-old, Gym-level Venusaur.

Possible Inherited Skills: Leech Seed.

As he looked through them, he saw Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Froakie, Chespin...

Most were Starter Pokémon from the Kanto region, Johto region, and Kalos region.

Unfortunately, after scanning them, Lin Feng did not find the Pokémon he wanted...

What he wanted was a Psychic-type Pokémon!

"I remember Wangwang Supermarket doesn't sell Pokémon, does it? Then these Pokémon are...?"

Lin Feng tilted his head and curiously looked at the other Pokémon Eggs.

Caterpie, Weedle, Marill, Oddish, Swinub... there were all kinds of Pokémon.

The Donghua League had always maintained good diplomatic trade relations with other Leagues, so it was not strange to occasionally see Pokémon unique to other Leagues within the Donghua League.

Chi Heng smiled. "You mean these? The Egg Guessing Riddle events held by our Wangwang Supermarket headquarters have done quite well, so we're planning to hold them at branches across the entire League now. It can give some impoverished Trainers a chance to obtain valuable Pokémon and build goodwill.

"That means we need a larger number of Pokémon Eggs."

Lin Feng nodded, sweeping his gaze over every egg. He could not help feeling a little more disappointed.

There was not a single Psychic-type Pokémon Egg...

He could not help asking, "Are there no Psychic-types? Like Ralts, Mime Jr., or Espurr?"

"Psychic-types?" Chi Heng froze, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Psychic-type Pokémon are generally rather rare. You might only find them at an Egg Guessing Riddle event at headquarters."

"I see..."

Lin Feng nodded. Just as he was staring at those Starter Pokémon, lost in thought,

a startled cry suddenly drew both their attention.

"Oh no..."

Alolan Vulpix with 2V Individual Values!

Not far away, a caretaker watching over the Pokémon Eggs slipped while carrying one of them, and the Pokémon Egg was about to fall.

A suffocating terror spread through his heart.

But the next second, just as the Pokémon Egg was about to hit the ground, a hand steadily caught its underside.

"Whew... That was close..." Lin Feng let out a breath and looked at the egg with interest.

Its entire shell was the color of ice crystals, patterned with snowflake-like markings. It felt icy cold to the touch.

It was showing signs of imminent hatching.

When Pokémon were about to hatch, they would unconsciously release their own energy.

For this egg to release such strong energy at this stage, its Aptitude had to be quite good.

Pokémon: Vulpix Gender: Female Ability: Snow Warning Aptitude: Red Individual Values: HP (24), Attack (25), Special Attack (31), Defense (27), Special Defense (25), Speed (31) Strength: Level 0 Skills: Hypnosis, Moonblast, Tail Whip, Freeze-Dry. Friendship: 10 (It can sense your presence) Joy Value: 50 (I want to break through this shell!) Hatching Time: Within 60 minutes.

"What happened? How could you be so careless?"

Chi Heng scolded the caretaker as he walked over, then turned to Lin Feng with a smile. "We really have to thank you, little brother. Otherwise, this Alolan Vulpix might not have made it."

At the same time, he was secretly astonished. Lin Feng had clearly been standing beside him and chatting just moments ago, yet in the next instant, he had appeared over ten meters away?

And he had caught an egg with perfect precision?

Was this a Trainer's physique?

"Even you have Pokémon from Alola. That's impressive." Lin Feng sighed in admiration. Looking at the Alolan Vulpix in his hands, he liked it more and more.

Customers at the Breeding House always said they were satisfied with the Energy Cubes, both in taste and price.

It was just a little too hot.

Once inside, it felt like stepping into a steamer.

It was only because it had rained these past few days that the air had become a little cooler.

Lin Feng had been planning to install an air conditioner in the shop.

Now that he had an Alolan Vulpix, he could even save that expense~

Besides, it was a Red Aptitude Alolan Vulpix.

His luck was absurdly good.

He asked without hesitation, "Can I choose this egg?"

Chi Heng froze, then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

In terms of value, an Alolan Vulpix was worth less than a Starter Pokémon.

But it was very rare in the Donghua League, which added considerably to its price.

Once converted, the two were worth roughly the same.

The young man before him was also an Advanced Breeder. Using a Vulpix like this to build goodwill with him could not be better.

After only a few seconds, Chi Heng's smile widened. "Of course. Alolan Vulpix are only a little rarer. In terms of price, they're actually slightly cheaper than ordinary Starter Pokémon."

"Then thank you."

Lin Feng nodded. Looking at the egg in his hands, he grew even fonder of it.

A fluffy Alolan Vulpix... and an icy one at that. Carrying it around in the middle of summer would feel incredibly comfortable, wouldn't it?

Once it evolved, Alolan Ninetales could even be used as a pillow. That could not be better.

After taking the egg and completing the registration, Lin Feng did not return right away. Instead, he used his shopping card to buy some Moo Moo Milk, then bought some Shroomish Perfume from the secret item section of the Pokémon area before hurrying back to the Breeding House.

There was no helping it. The Alolan Vulpix would hatch within an hour.

When he got home, Lin Feng did not even have time to greet Qin Shu before heading straight into the Plantation.

Looking at the faintly glowing Alolan Vulpix Egg, he took out a bottle of Moo Moo Milk and poured it into a bowl. He began stirring it with chopsticks while sprinkling in the perfume.

Shroomish Perfume had an excellent befuddling effect. When paired with Moo Moo Milk, it not only improved the milk's flavor, but also made newborn Pokémon happier and more affectionate toward the Trainer they saw first.

There was also one more thing.

Food made through his hands gained an additional Cooking Effect.

That was the key.

C-rank Moo Moo Milk — A small amount of Shroomish Perfume had been added. Although the preparation process was somewhat crude, the flavor of the Moo Moo Milk had been fully brought out. Cooking Effect — After a newborn Pokémon drinks it, its energy growth speed increases by 25%, and it gains a mild anesthetic effect.

"Servine?!"

Smelling the enticing fragrance of the Moo Moo Milk, Servine stuck out her rosy tongue and licked her lips, looking somewhat eager.

"You want some too?"

Lin Feng tapped her head and laughed. "This is for children."

"Servine..."

Servine turned her head away, indicating that she was not all that interested.

But she quickly turned back and looked at the Pokémon Egg in Lin Feng's hands, clearly anticipating the new companion's birth.

Lin Feng smiled. "All right, this milk is for Vulpix. Once I make a trip to Huaqiao Village and buy a few Miltank, we'll have an endless supply of milk to drink."
