Knowledge is not a disposable commodity. Even if someone were fearless and dared to secretly copy the Flying Elite Four's Breeding Notes, it wouldn't concern Lu Li.

To Lu Li, even if this notebook were copied ten thousand times, its value would remain. Anyone who dared to copy the notebook would be offending the Flying Elite Four.

"It's a pity it's just Breeding Notes. If it were Training Notes, perhaps I would be tempted," Yu Zhonggang sighed.

Although the Breeding Notes of an Elite Four Trainer were precious, they were far inferior to his Training Notes. This was because a notebook from an Elite Four Trainer encompassed the Elite Four's comprehensive understanding of tactics, secret manuals, and training.

If a trainer's Training Notes were known to interested parties, they could easily be studied and countered. Therefore, trainers' Training Notes were generally not easily handed over to others, and some were even written using special codes.

Yu Lili shot her whimsical father an eye-roll. "How could Elite Four Ling Kong give his Training Notes to the Qingyun City authorities for a Pidgey?"

"Oh right, have you found my Feebas for me yet? Lu Li's Feebas is almost evolving," Yu Lili asked again.

Yu Zhonggang awkwardly brushed her off. "Soon, soon."

Feebas with high Potential were actually quite difficult to find. While Feebas weren't as common as Magikarp, they were still considered common Pokémon.

But the problem was that ordinary Feebas were common, yet Feebas with high Potential were extremely rare. Almost every Water-type Trainer would be interested in a high-Potential Feebas.

"You still haven't found one? I was hoping my Feebas could witness Lu Li's Feebas evolve," Yu Lili complained softly.

As a doting father, Yu Zhonggang quickly promised, "One week. I've even asked your Grandmother's family for help. With the connections of our two families, I'll do my best to find you a suitable Feebas within a week."

Yu Lili could only nod dejectedly, while also feeling puzzled about how Lu Li managed to find such a high-Potential Feebas.

Thinking of this, Yu Lili suddenly realized that Lu Li, this "commoner," was a bit unusual.

A Tropius that could defeat a Turtle head-on, a Feebas that knew Rain Dance, and that Shiny CharmanderYu Lili found Lu Li's luck to be outrageously good.

Yu Lili shared her doubts with her father.

Hearing this, Yu Zhonggang also sighed with emotion.

Yu Zhonggang mused, "Daughter! You need to understand that people are different, and so is their luck. The gap in this regard can be even greater than the gap between humans and Pokémon.

Let me tell you a secret: Elite Four Ling Kong is actually my classmate, and like me, he comes from a commoner background."

"What?"

Hearing such explosive news, Yu Lili was also surprised.

Her father was actually classmates with an Elite Four. Why had she never heard of this before?

"Ling Kong was even poorer than my family back then. Yet, this child from an ordinary family, his starter Pokémon was a Shiny Taillow, and it even had a positive Shiny Talent.

The most outrageous thing is that his second Pokémon was a Swablu. Tell me, isn't that luck unbelievable? Back then, his Potential wasn't as high as Lu Li's. The reason he obtained those Pokémon Eggs was purely due to luck," Yu Zhonggang lamented about his old classmate's absurd luck.

Some people's luck is called the Child of Destiny, while some people's luck is called ordinary. This thing is truly unpredictable.

Yu Lili: "..."

Yu Lili was greatly shocked.

This is cheating, right?

Yu Lili said with deep empathy, "This luck is even more outrageous than Lu Li's."

"Luck is a real thing. You will definitely encounter these cheaters in your future career. You must never try to oppose them. These people are sometimes unreasonable, but you don't need to be too afraid of those with good luck. After all, even the luckiest people will die." Yu Zhonggang took the opportunity to educate his daughter.

At that time, among the same batch of people as him, there were many with better luck, and also people with better luck than Ling Kong. However, among that batch, only he and Ling Kong truly made a name for themselves.

A perfect start doesn't mean anything. Those who can survive to the end are the real heroes. This world is inherently about survival of the fittest.

Lu Li arrived in Qingyun City again, a first-tier city in the Southern Kyushu Region.

After ordering a batch of berries needed by Charmander at the Berry Market, Lu Li then went to the Pokémon Professional Bookstore.

Upon entering the bookstore, Lu Li directly said to the staff, "Hello, please recommend some books on Pokémon Tool Masters."

He had studied the Flower Incense he bought before, but he still had no clue about Alchemist Pokémon-ization. Therefore, Lu Li decided to thoroughly study the way of the tool master in this world.

With the Hundred Immortal Cultivation Arts in his possession, many things can basically be understood once one thing is mastered. What Lu Li lacks now is the step from 0 to 1. Once he breaks through from 0 to 1, then going from 1 to 100 will be very simple.

"Books on Pokémon Tool Masters? Then I recommend these few." After the staff member finished speaking, they took out six thick books from the bookshelf.

"Flow of Elemental Energy"

"What is a Pokémon Tool Master?"

"Pokémon Tool Master: From Beginner to Grave."

"Items and Secret Treasures."

After glancing at the titles of these books, Lu Li directly asked, "How much are these four books in total?"

Lu Li did not buy the other two books because he had already read them in the library.

The staff member said happily, "A total of 472 yuan."

"Check out,"

Lu Li said and took out his mobile phone to scan the code for payment.

In this world, books, especially those related to Pokémon, are generally outrageously priced.

The four books averaged over a hundred League Credits each, and these were relatively simple ones. More profound books started at over a thousand.

As a transmigrator, Lu Li had specifically compared the discrepancies between the two worlds. Ordinary materials in this world were generally cheaper; the truly expensive items were all related to Pokémon.

After buying the books, Lu Li went to the Pokémon Item Shop next door to purchase some items for training Tropius and Charmander.

The items prepared for Tropius were just ordinary training tools, such as a Tennis Machine, tennis balls, and a Gravity Ring.

As for Charmander, in addition to ordinary training items, Lu Li specifically prepared a piece of charcoal for it.

Charcoal was a Pokémon item. Its effect was that when held by a Fire-type Pokémon, it could slightly increase the damage of the Pokémon's Fire-type skills.

In addition, Charcoal, as a Pokémon item, could also be used as a Consumable. The charcoal contained Fire-type energy that was very suitable for Fire-type Pokémon to absorb.

Using it could enhance a Pokémon's comprehension of Fire-type energy and speed up the growth rate of Fire-type Pokémon.

The most important thing was that Pokémon items and Energy Blocks did not conflict, and the price of Charcoal was extremely expensive. A piece of Normal Quality charcoal alone cost one hundred thousand League Credits.

The price of Premium Charcoal was as high as a million, which was comparable to Flower Incense.

Lu Li bought Premium Charcoal, partly for research and partly because he wanted to give his Pokémon the best.
