Achoo!!
Roy, riding on Dragapult, touched his nose. He knew without a doubt that his fellow disciples at the dojo were thinking of him.
What a beautiful friendship this must be.
After leaving the dojo, Roy went to the Joy family.
In fact, six months ago, Joy Lando could no longer teach him anything, and he had to figure out how to use the Ghost Power to create Pokéblock almost entirely on his own.
He himself had completed the assessment for Top-level Breeders six months ago, becoming the youngest Top-level Breeder in Joy Lando's eyes.
Roy wanted to work harder and become Master-level Breeder in one fell swoop, but even with the help of the Ghost Power, he couldn't create Pokéblock like those created by the master breeder of the Joy family, which troubled him.
But Roy's anxieties were seen as nothing more than pretentious posturing by the Joy family breeders and Joy Lando.
They were incredibly envious of the special ability he displayed when creating Pokéblock, and he's only level 15!! Just level 15!!
Couldn't they have left a way for the other breeders to survive?
Roy had just gotten off Dragapult when the shadowy figure reappeared in the jungle, and he knew who it was without even looking.
"Luca!"
Joy Lando's Lucario appeared in front of Roy.
Compared to his aloof demeanor a year ago, Lucario now hovers around Roy, constantly sniffing at something.
Roy handed the Pokéblock he had made a few days ago to Lucario.
Lucario, looking at the Pokéblock still covered in a layer of sweet seaweed and Sweet Honey, poured the entire box of Pokéblock into his mouth in one gulp right in front of Roy.
If Roy hadn't watched Lucario get fatter day by day, he would never have recognized that this Lucario, which was the size of the previous two, was the same one that belonged to Joy Lando.
Lucario chewed heartily, occasionally letting out satisfied sounds.
Its deliciousness needs no further explanation.
Since breaking through to the High-level Elite Four level after consuming the Pokéblock created by Roy, he has reduced his training volume.
Instead, he saw eating excessively as a shortcut to improving his strength. What used to be a week's worth of food could now be finished in a day, and now he just waits for Roy to feed him every day.
Her once oval face has become round, and her belly has turned into a small beer belly.
Even Agatha's Gengar barely recognized Lucario, and suddenly felt that Roy was wasting his talent by not feeding pigs.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
As he spoke, Roy took out a bottle of Moomoo Milk with Sweet Honey from his Spatial Bracelet and poured it into a cup, then added a layer of Whipped Cream on top of the cup as a milk foam topping.
Whipped Cream is the Held Item transforms the Swirlix into Slurpuff. It tastes sweet but not cloying, and its nutritional value can only be compared to cream produced by High-level Elite Four- level Alcremie.
This material wasn't even available in the Joy family; Roy had to exchange 50,000 of his Popularity Points from the System Shop to get it.
Lucario took the full cup of Roy's special Moomoo Milk and first drank the creamy topping of cream puffs in one gulp.
Announcement~
Lucario's eyes lit up, and he finished the whole cup of Moomoo Milk in the second gulp, wiping all the milk stains from the corners of his mouth into his mouth with his tongue.
Isn't this the meaning of life?
Seeing Lucario's bulging belly, Roy didn't feel anything was wrong; on the contrary, he thought the chubby dog was quite cute.
"Lucario, is your teacher here today?"
"Hiccup~ Luca."
Roy followed Lucario to the front of the Joy family's gate. As they passed through the gate, the infrared scanner on the gate kept malfunctioning when scanning Lucario's face.
Roy had to use his face to get in.
Lucario easily led Roy to Joy Lando, who was currently in the testing room.
Seeing the red "Testing in Progress" sign outside the testing room, Roy didn't push open the door to disturb them, but waited quietly outside.
About half an hour later
A Nurse Joy ran out of the examination room excitedly, holding an Advanced Breeder qualification certificate in her hand.
Having been with the Joy family for so long, Roy probably remembered a few of the Nurse Joy he saw frequently.
The excited-looking Nurse Joy in front of him was the genius girl from the Joy family who had taken the exam with him before, Joy Lena.
Judging from their happy appearance, they must have passed the Advanced Breeder assessment.
And that was exactly what happened. Joy Lena, who was initially quite happy, instantly lost her composure upon seeing Roy outside the door. She walked past Roy without making a sound, as if she couldn't see Roy at all.
Roy, who was being ignored, was a little confused and exchanged a glance with Lucario next to him.
Lucario Knob as well. Roy didn't know what was wrong either, so how could a Pokémon him know?
As the two locked eyes, Joy Lando also emerged from the testing room.
Joy Lando was also in a good mood, after all, Lena passing the test meant that their Joy family had gained another Advanced Breeder.
But her smile vanished the moment she saw Roy.
"Hehe, Aunt Lando, what do you want to test me on?"
Upon seeing Joy Lando appear, Roy quickly followed behind her.
"Test you? I can't test you, Master Roy!"
When Joy Lando said those words, she herself was unaware that her voice carried a hint of anger and helplessness.
It wasn't that giving birth to Roy made her angry...
Okay, Roy did make her angry, but the cause of the incident wasn't Roy himself.
