14 years old!
Joy Lando suddenly remembered the age she had just seen on her ID Card.
To be able to create Advanced Pokéblock at the age of 14, a genius... an absolute genius.
Looking at the tall young man before her, Joy Lando could no longer contain her excitement. She rejected Roy's absurd idea that he should learn Fighting type arts.
Someone with Roy's exceptional talent should Ingrain in the field of nurturing; she would even call Roy's creation of the Pokéblock a performance, pure art.
Although she didn't know what Roy's energy was, she knew that Roy, who possessed this energy, would definitely become Top-level Breeder in the future, or even... Master-level Breeder.
This was the dream she pursued her whole life.
Moreover, to be able to create such Pokéblock at this age, even their family's only master-level cultivator seems to be someone who hasn't done it, right?
Seeing that Joy Lando had been staring at the Pokéblock in her hand for a long time without speaking, Roy took the initiative to ask:
"Aunt Lando, did I pass the test?"
"It has to pass! Come on! Auntie will take you to get your Advanced Breeder Certificate right now."
At this moment, Joy Lando found Roy pleasing to the eye, and her attitude underwent a complete 180-degree reversal.
"Oh? What about the knowledge test and the massage technique test later on?"
Roy remembered that he had previously asked Joy Yanan in Rustboro City about the assessment process, and Yanan had told him that after the Pokéblock was created, there would be assessments on cultivation knowledge and massage techniques.
Knowledge assessment?
That assessment only applies to beginner and Intermediate Breeder. There's no such assessment for Advanced Breeder. If they can already create Advanced Pokéblock, why would they lack cultivation knowledge?
As for the assessment of massage techniques.
To put it simply, a breeder needs to understand the Pokémon's true needs and then use that energy to meet those needs during the breeding process.
Therefore, the real focus is always on Pokéblock creation. Roy can already create Pokéblock at this level, so why bother with massage techniques?
Just as Joy Lando was eager to take Roy to receive her Advanced Breeder Certificate, Agatha blocked her way.
Upon seeing Agatha, Joy Lando suddenly remembered that Roy was her best friend's apprentice, and Agatha had just mentioned that she wanted to teach Roy.
Joy Lando, no longer bothering to question why Agatha hadn't introduced Roy to him before, tightly grasped Agatha's slightly cold hands, looked at Agatha with fervent enthusiasm, and said:
"Sister Agatha, please be sure to hand this child over to our Joy family! Two years... no!"
Joy Lando initially intended to raise two fingers, but remembering Roy's almost freakish abilities, he withdrew one finger, raised the middle finger instead, and said with great certainty:
"One year, just one year, and I can absolutely train you to become a Top-level Breeder, absolutely!!!"
Agatha then pulled her hands away from Joy Lando's hands. It wasn't that she didn't believe in the Guimi words, but rather that she believed in Roy's abilities.
It's safe to say that even without Joy Lando, Roy would have been a Top-level Breeder, or even a master breeder, in the future.
She came to see Joy Lando for two reasons: firstly, because she could no longer teach Roy any more breeding knowledge; and secondly, because the latter wanted to shorten the time it took for Roy to progress from Advanced Breeder to something more advanced.
Agatha said calmly:
"Didn't you just say you didn't have time? Didn't you say you still needed to make Pokéblock for the Dragon Clan and those two super-rich families in the Kanto Region?"
"Huh? Did I say that? Those families are nothing, what the hell can they do to me if I stop working for them?!"
Joy Lando immediately cursed, indicating that he had long forgotten what he had said before. In front of Roy, who possessed the talent of a Master-level Breeder, even orders from several major families seemed laughable.
What does a 14-year-old boy who can create Advanced Pokéblock represent?
She can no longer imagine how excited her clan leader would be if he met Roy.
This is equivalent to the sect producing a once-in-a-century genius, the only pity being that this genius is a rogue cultivator, not from their Joy family.
However, if Roy could join their Joy family...
"Roy, do you have a girlfriend? Our family is full of beautiful women, do you want me to introduce you to one?"
Seeing Joy Lando transform into a matchmaker, Roy was initially in a good mood because he could obtain the Advanced Breeder Certificate, instantly became speechless.
Um... speaking of which, don't all Nurse Joy look the same?
Moreover, it is said that both the Joy family and Jenny family have strong genes, so all their children look like Nurse Joy, Roy thinks he should be no exception.
Seeing that Joy Lando had already set his sights on Roy, Agatha directly interrupted his thoughts.
"He's still young, so don't try anything with him. Just focus on teaching him about animal husbandry, or I'll take him to find someone more skilled."
"No! I won't say anything more, okay?"
Although she couldn't introduce Roy to a Nurse Joy, Agatha's willingness to entrust Roy to her showed the trust the other party had in her. Joy Lando instantly began to think about his training plan.
"After we receive our Breeder Certification Certificates, this afternoon... this afternoon we'll start practicing. I'll go prepare the materials for you. Demonstrate to me the manufacturing process for each type of Pokéblock, and I'll see if there's anything else I can teach you."
Joy Lando was eager to teach Roy how to create Pokéblock, but Agatha interrupted:
"This afternoon won't work; I need to take him to see Bruno this afternoon."
"Huh? Bruno?"
Joy Lando didn't understand why Agatha was taking Roy to see that muscle-obsessed man.
Agatha explained to Joy Lando that she Volo would learn Fighting type arts from the other person.
Fighting type arts?
Joy Lando didn't understand why Agatha wanted Roy to learn Fighting type arts, but no matter how much she tried to persuade Agatha, she insisted on her own ideas, and Joey couldn't do anything about it, after all, Kikuko was Roy's real teacher.
Just as Agatha was about to leave with Roy, Joy Lando stopped them.
"Wait for me, I'll go with you."
Her main concern was that Agatha and Roy might never return.
She absolutely couldn't miss out on such a genius breeder, otherwise she would regret it for the rest of her life... two... ten lifetimes!!!!
Joy Lando quickly instructed Nurse Joy, who was in charge of testing outside, to arrange three Pidgeot, as she would need them later.
Before leaving, Joy Lando glanced at the genius girl who had stayed behind to watch the whole thing. At that moment, the girl's mouth was slightly open, a gesture she had maintained ever since Roy used the Ghost Power.
Joy Lando knew that Roy's exceptional talent was a huge blow to his family's genius, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
"Lena, practice properly when you get back... Never mind, you just wait for me at the family headquarters. I'll help you get a good feel for the game when I get back."
"Um."
She should have been thrilled to receive Coaching from Joy Lando, a Top-level Breeder, but she felt nothing at all.
After Joy Lando left with Roy and Agatha, the girl was left alone in the empty testing room.
The girl silently walked out of the assessment room. She didn't take the elevator, but instead walked down the stairs one step at a time.
Before Roy, she was absolutely the pride of the entire family. She could make Basic Pokéblock on her own at the age of 13, Intermediate Pokéblock at the age of 15, and had already passed the Advanced Breeder assessment at the age of 16.
But the dreamlike scene she just witnessed left her wondering what she truly was now.
People often say that hard work pales in comparison to talent, but in the face of Roy's terrifying abilities, her talent is insignificant. It can be said that Roy has transcended the realm of talent.
