Joy Lando first gave her family's genius girl a test: to create an Advanced Pokéblock that could be used universally with Fire type.
Is it Fire type?
The genius girl fell into thought after hearing her exam questions.
This problem is simple in some ways, because it involves Pokéblock of a single attribute, so there's no need to worry about the energy blocks not merging; you just need to keep them in balance.
The difficulty lies in the Fire type is the most explosive and unstable of all the attributes, making it hard to achieve a balance.
This is why many breeders find Fire type Pokéblock a real headache.
After settling the genius girl from her family, Joy Lando turned her gaze to Roy, who was currently touching and fiddling with the two Berry Blender and Pokéblock Maker in front of him, looking like a curious child.
Joy Lando's distrust intensified; Roy didn't seem like the kind of person who could create Pokéblock at all.
Roy discovered that the machine used for the assessment was Berry Blender and Pokéblock Maker exclusively used by the Joy family, a machine he had never seen before on the market.
It had several different knobs compared to the Berry Blender and Pokéblock Maker he had previously bought from Devon Corporation.
This also means that its control over energy is more precise, but of course, the operation is also more difficult.
Furthermore, the machine's casing is completely transparent, meaning the examiner can see your actions, leaving absolutely no possibility of cheating.
It also allows Nurse Joy, who is in charge of the testing, to immediately identify which step went wrong, and can inform Nurse Joy, who participated in the assessment, after the assessment is over.
This is a special privilege that those who participate in the Pokémon Center's breeder assessment do not enjoy.
Joy Lando was still pondering what kind of question she should give Roy, mainly because she was also having some trouble.
Because Roy's test involves someone without breeder qualifications jumping three levels to become Advanced Breeder, the questions are more difficult than those for a typical Advanced Breeder exam.
As she thought about it, Joy Lando remembered Pokéblock that a client had commissioned her to make a long time ago.
Got it!
But... isn't that a bit too difficult?
No, actually, whether it's difficult or not doesn't matter at all, because she never imagined that the boy in front of her could create Pokéblock of this level.
Joy Lando announced the content of his test to Roy: to help a Beginner King level Emboar who was about to learn the Scald skill create a Pokéblock to increase the success rate of the Emboar's skill learning.
Both individuals have three hours to complete the test. As long as they finish manufacturing within the allotted time and the quality meets the requirements, they can pass the Pokéblock manufacturing stage.
This time, without Agatha's Pokéblock recipe, Roy had to figure out all the materials and their proportions himself.
Emboar wants to learn about Scald?
Helping a Fire type Pokémon learn a Water type move involves figuring out how to fuse two opposing energies into a single Pokéblock.
Moreover, the real challenge lies in how to prevent the energy from dissipating after fusion.
Roy only thought about the exam question briefly before starting to Analytic it.
Water and fire are inherently mutually exclusive energies. Water overcomes fire, and an excess of Water type energy will directly annihilate Fire type energy. However, if Fire type energy is too strong, it can directly evaporate Water type energy.
However, these Pokéblock, which require the use of mutually exclusive energy, were not difficult for him to create.
The first time he taught Misdreavus Dark Pulse, he used two mutually exclusive energies to create a Dark type Energy Pokéblock carrying Ghost-type energy, allowing Misdreavus to quickly absorb Dark type energy.
On the table in front of you is a tablet with pictures of various Berry, Evolution Stone Shard, energy materials, and auxiliary materials.
The Joy family has all kinds of cultivation materials available, so there's no need to worry about running out. Just click on the materials on the screen to purchase them.
Roy glanced at the materials on the tablet: Weezing gas, Dragonite scales, Kingler claws, Cherubi's Apricorn... There were over a hundred pages of all sorts of colorful materials, making Roy's eyes a little dizzy.
This also means that you can find almost any material you want in the Joy family; no wonder they are the number one breeder family.
Roy simply clicked to search for Evolution Stone Shard, which contained various types of Evolution Stone Shard, including basic, intermediate, and advanced ones.
As expected, there were no perfect quality Evolution Stone Shard. But that makes sense, since a perfect quality Evolution Stone usually costs at least several million Poké Dollars.
Even if the Joy family is incredibly wealthy, they wouldn't be so extravagant. What if the Pokéblock manufacturing fails? Wouldn't they lose everything?
Roy made a simple selection. Actually, if stability is the goal, it's essential to use cultivation materials with lower energy content. This way, even if a reaction occurs, it will be easier to control.
However, the Emboar in the test given by Joy Lando has already reached the Beginner King level. Evolution Stone Shard of too low quality may not have much effect on Emboar learning skills, or may even greatly reduce its effectiveness.
Therefore, he directly chose high-grade Water Stone and Fire Stone Shard.
Secondly, it needs to suit the Pokémon's taste. For example, Fire type Pokémon usually like spicy food, so add two more Razz Berry.
In the past, Roy would sometimes even reduce the energy content of food to suit the tastes of Pokémon.
But that's not a problem for him now; he wants both the taste and the energy.
After selecting the remaining materials, Roy simply clicked the order button on the tablet.
Just as Roy was waiting to see how the materials would be delivered, a gap suddenly opened on the empty table beside him, and with a creaking sound, the materials Roy needed, packed in a transparent frame, were delivered.
Looking through the gap in the table, Roy saw only darkness underneath. So, was there a small elevator under the table?
Now was not the time to think about these things. Roy directly took out the high-grade Water Stone fragments and Fire Stone Shard from the materials, as well as the various materials he had just ordered, and placed them in front of him.
"Bang!"
Just as Roy was pondering the proportions of various ingredients, a sudden explosion occurred beside him. It turned out that the Berry Blender of the genius girl from the Joy family had exploded.
Fortunately, the transparent material used to manufacture the Joy family's special Berry Blender was extremely hard, which effectively controlled the power of the explosion and prevented the Berry Blender from shattering completely; only black smoke continued to billow from the outlet.
After giving Roy his test, Joy Lando's eyes were fixed on the genius girl from her family.
She witnessed the entire process of the opponent's failure and knew that the main reason for the opponent's failure was that they added a trace of Chilan Berry in order to balance the overly violent Fire type energy.
The method was correct, but too much Chilan Berry was added, causing the already unbalanced energy to instantly spiral out of control. The Fire type energy melted and Acid Armor the Fire type Chilan Berry, even amplifying its power, resulting in an explosion.
The girl looked at the black Berry Blender that had appeared before her, sighed, and slowly released her grip on the physical mechanical control stick.
She knew she had failed again; this was the second time she had failed, and the girl felt somewhat discouraged.
Joy Lando approached the girl and said nonchalantly:
"It's alright. At your age, you've already surpassed the vast majority of breeders. As long as you control the material ratios well in the future, I believe you'll succeed next time."
"Yes, I will try my best, Aunt Lando."
The girl's assessment was now over, but she didn't leave the testing room. Instead, she stayed there, wanting to ask Joy Lando some questions.
She also wanted to see what was going on with that boy, and why he was able to participate in the advanced assessment just like her.
Joy Lando didn't say anything, but when she turned her head, she saw Roy directly adding the two mutually exclusive materials Water Stone Fragments and Fire Stone Shard, into the Berry Blender without any processing.
