Joyful Pokémon Get Stronger? Then I Won't Be a Trainer - Section 7

The Prism Scale the system had rewarded him with—he'd already taken a look at it. The quality was absolutely beyond reproach.

It was just that the Feebas's current scales were a little dirty.

Evolution, huh.

Then naturally, he had to let it maintain its best condition before evolving. That way, after evolution, it would possess the highest quality!

Taking a fish tank out from the Storage Ball, he filled it with water, then gently placed the Feebas inside.

After that, he called out to Snivy.

With the two little ones in tow, he headed back home.

The Feebas could just be set down casually on the table.

As for Snivy, That wasn't a big problem either.

When his mother was still alive, she had carved a wooden house for Scyther at home.

Though it was a bit old, it was still perfectly fine for Snivy to use now.

"Snivy?"

Eyeing the wooden house that was clearly mismatched to its height, Snivy shot Lin Feng a curious glance.

"This takes into account that after you evolve into Serperior, your body size will increase, so the house was built a bit bigger too," Lin Feng said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.

But a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

In the [Eye of Investigation], Snivy's minimum level had already reached 14.

If it evolved at level 16...

Shouldn't that be not too far off?

After it absorbed the energy from the Rare Candy, feeding it another one should be about enough.

"Snivy..."

Snivy rolled its eyes at him—was it treating it as dumb as a Magikarp?

This wooden house had clearly been around for a while.

And it claimed it was built for it.

Still, the wooden house was spacious, and the inside was very clean. It looked like it had just been tidied up.

It did like it, though.

And what proof was there of that?

[Congratulations, Host! Snivy's Joy Value has increased from 60% to 75%. Reward: eight bags of Golden Fertilizer, three Rare Candies, one Grassy Terrain TM.]

That made it very clear.

It really liked this home~

Chapter 7: The Morning-Jogging Girl and Squirtle

Early morning, The first rays of sunlight spilled into the wooden house.

Lin Feng got up bright and early and headed to the Plantation, mainly to check on the seeds he had planted the day before.

In just one night, Some of the seeds had already sprouted tender shoots, some even reaching a few centimeters tall.

This made Lin Feng nod repeatedly in approval. "The Golden Fertilizer the system gave is really something else!"

In this world, Although most plants grew faster than those in his previous life, It wasn't this fast.

At most, it was two or three times quicker.

And the growing environment was easier to control.

After all, there were unreasonable supernatural creatures like Pokémon around.

After watering them, Lin Feng returned to his room.

Snivy and Feebas were both already awake. The former stood before the window, greeting the morning sun, While the latter was like a wife waiting for her husband's return, staring blankly with dull fish eyes at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took out the leftover Peachy Fruit Energy Cubes from yesterday, poured them into a small bowl, and called out to Snivy, "Come on, time for breakfast."

"Snivy."

Snivy let out a small sound, still a bit embarrassed, but it had come to accept its current identity.

It picked up the bowl, set it on the table, and gracefully began eating a piece of Energy Cube.

Lin Feng walked over to Feebas, crumbled a piece of Energy Cube, and tossed it in.

Feebas's scales still had some uneven, pitted spots.

If he evolved it now—

Even though a Prism Scale could largely fix these flaws, it would still affect the beauty after evolution. Rather than dealing with it later when it would be harder, it was better to resolve the issue while Feebas was still in its current form.

This wasn't a big problem.

As long as he changed the water frequently and fed it Energy Cubes properly, he could smooth out those pitted areas in about half a month.

But one line from the system shattered that plan.

[Congratulations, Host! Feebas's Joy Value has increased from 60% to 75%. Reward: ten bags of Golden Fertilizer, one Rare Candy, and the Nourishing Energy Cube Recipe.]

"Huh..."

Maybe it wouldn't take half a month?

Lin Feng looked at Feebas with a strange expression.

It was happily munching on the Energy Cubes inside, completely unaware that its rise in joy had earned it something good that suited it perfectly.

"Looks like the ugly duckling's day of becoming a swan isn't far off," Lin Feng remarked with a sigh. He stopped watching Feebas and walked to the door, opening the Breeding House's entrance...

Today's task was to pick up his breeding certificate, buy some things the Breeding House needed, and register Snivy and Feebas under his Breeding House.

The Donghua League's law stated:

If you capture a Pokémon, you must register its information within seven days.

And... a rookie trainer could only capture one Pokémon at most!

As your trainer rank increased, the number of Pokémon you could capture would slowly grow.

But breeders didn't have that rule.

If you had a Breeding House under your name, you could capture even more Pokémon...

He turned to look at the two Pokémon that had finished eating.

Lin Feng was about to recall them into their Poké Balls, when—

A shout from behind suddenly stopped him.

"Brother Feng~!"

He turned his head, and a youthful, bright white figure caught his eye.

The girl wore a white short-sleeved shirt and cotton sweatpants, her hair tied in a short ponytail. Her eyes were clear as water, with a hint of dazedness, and her face was slightly round, full of the youthful glow of collagen.

She looked like she was out for a morning run.

When the girl spotted Lin Feng, her eyes lit up, and she immediately turned to run over.

By her side, was a Squirtle with a look of utter despair on its face, panting miserably.

"Huh? Why are you back? Is it summer break already?"

Lin Feng was a bit surprised.

The girl was Qin Shu, Grandpa Qin's granddaughter. Like him, she studied at Wutong Pokémon Middle School in Wutong City.

The difference was, Qin Shu was currently a sophomore, while he had already graduated.

They were from the same small town.

After his parents went missing, Grandpa Qin had looked out for him, often bringing seasonal food to Lin Feng.

And he'd told Lin Feng to take care of Qin Shu at school.

Over time, the two had built a decent relationship.

"Yeah, yeah! Summer break started yesterday, I came back last night!"

Qin Shu said cheerfully, then tugged at the Squirtle beside her. "Look, Brother Feng~ This is the Pokémon I just caught! Squirtle, say hi!"

"Squirtle, squirt..."

Squirtle greeted weakly, its forehead covered in sweat.
