As evening fell, Whitney and Roy picked a lot of Berry and many bottles of Moomoo Milk in the Berry of the ranch.
They kept filling it until they couldn't fit even one of Roy's Spatial Bracelets inside.
Not satisfied, Whitney took out a large 10-cubic-meter Spatial Bracelet and filled both of Spatial Bracelet before nodding in satisfaction.
Roy was initially embarrassed, but Whitney made it very clear that this was Roy's payment for massaging the Miltank and adopting the Mimikyu that afternoon.
The Pokémon from the ranch all came to see them off, and the Miltank all said they would definitely ask technician Roy number 38) for their next massage.
Although that's what Whitney said, Roy still felt he should do something for Whitney.
Looking at the Miltank that came to see him off, Roy took out a pen and paper. He had already thought about how to improve the Pokéblock, and wrote down the recipe for the improved Pokéblock.
Before leaving, Roy handed a piece of paper filled with recipes to Whitney, asking her to give it to the old man so that he could help solve the problem of Miltank not liking to eat Pokéblock.
Whitney looked at the mixing temperature and the proportions of the Berry the label, completely bewildered.
Although she had studied breeding courses at the Trainer School, she couldn't understand the recipe in front of her, so she could only clutch the small piece of paper in her hand.
Roy said goodbye to Whitney at the entrance of Moomoo Ranch.
Mimikyu looked at Whitney with reluctance. If it weren't for Whitney, she might have disappeared from this world long ago.
Whitney was also reluctant to part, but she knew that Mimikyu could only be safe with Roy. She forced a smile, wiped away her tears, and said to Mimikyu:
"Coward, see you next time."
Goodbye... Whitney
Mimikyu still looked at Whitney with reluctance, but she knew she couldn't stay by Whitney's side forever, and could only leave under Whitney's gaze.
Roy found one thing rather strange: hadn't Whitney's grandfather, the old man, discovered Mimikyu either?
After Roy and the Froslass left the ranch, Whitney couldn't help but cry.
The old man and his two Indeedee also quietly came up behind Whitney.
Whitney sensed the old man's arrival and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but the redness and swelling in her eyes were something she couldn't erase.
The old man sighed and hugged the heartbroken Whitney.
"Cry, it'll make you feel better."
After Whitney had been crying for a while, she finally looked up at the old man.
"You... you're back? Grandpa."
Looking in the direction Roy left, the old man asked:
"Did the Ghost type Pokémon in the castle leave with us?"
"Oh? Grandpa, you already knew?"
"You don't think your Uncle Anson's Stoutland is just for show, do you?"
The Stoutland sensed it as soon as the Ghost type Pokémon appeared on the ranch.
"Furthermore, the castle's Indeedee sensed it the day you brought that Ghost type Pokémon back, but he sensed that the Ghost type Pokémon meant no harm, so I didn't interfere."
The old man didn't say anything before because he didn't want to upset his granddaughter.
"Ah?"
Whitney's face instantly turned red. She thought she had hidden it well, but it turned out that her grandfather had already discovered her Coward.
What the old man didn't know was that it wasn't Ghost type Pokémon at all, but a real Ghost type.
Whitney seemed to have thought of something, and gave the old man the recipe for the Pokéblock that Roy had given her when he left.
"What's this?"
"It's the recipe for the Pokéblock left by Roy, who said it could help Miltank overcome its loss of appetite."
What is the recipe for the Pokéblock?
The old man initially didn't care and didn't take the paper recipe seriously. He didn't believe that a young man like Roy could make Pokéblock.
But then I thought about how I had just lost to Roy...
Looking at the slip of paper in his hand, the old man wondered what kind of Pokéblock Roy, this young man, could concoct.
Driven by curiosity, the old man unfolded the paper with his hand.
Hmm, this handwriting is... not very good.
Ignoring Roy's rather "ordinary" handwriting, the old man went from the initial selection of the Berry -mixing instrument on the paper, to the Berry configuration, and the precise gram-level ratio between the Berry.
The order in which the energies contained in various Berry are fused, the timing of the final Pokéblock being placed in the mixer, and the fusion time...
The older man's gaze grew increasingly solemn as he looked down.
As a ranch owner, he knew that the recipe for the Pokéblock he had asked someone to prepare before had some problems, but unfortunately, it was the best Pokéblock recipe he could find.
For more suitable and personalized Pokéblock recipes, you'll need to find Top-level Breeder to create them.
But Top-level Breeders are not so easy to find; they are even rarer than giant pandas, and they cannot be bought with money.
He himself was actually a mid-level breeder, so when he saw the improved version of the Pokéblock that Roy had left behind, he knew that the recipe had a high chance of being feasible.
Roy can even create Pokéblock! Besides being Pokémon Trainer, what exactly is his identity?
Looking at the small piece of paper in his hand, the old man was still somewhat hesitant. If he had to replace Pokéblock in the entire ranch because of such a small piece of paper, and it caused problems in the end, the losses would be huge.
Ultimately, the old man decided to send the formula to the Joy family first, so they could manufacture a batch of Pokéblock to test it out.
If possible, use Roy's recipe.
Did Roy say how much this recipe costs?
Whitney Knob, only saying that she gave Roy two Berry from the Spatial Bracelet and Moomoo Milk.
How could you exchange Berries from just two Spatial Bracelets and Moomoo Milk for a recipe to create a custom Pokéblock?
The old man found it somewhat unbelievable; what about the Advanced Breeder he had sought so much help from through connections?
Seeing that the old man also thought Roy's Pokéblock were feasible, Whitney asked hesitantly:
"Oh, right, Grandpa, I want to catch another Pokémon."
"Oh? What Pokémon do you want? Tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will go to the Pokémon League Pokémon Day Care tomorrow and buy you one."
The old man thought that Roy's strength had motivated Whitney to work harder.
"Really? Grandpa, could you find me a Snorunt too?"
"What!?"
Snorunt?
"Grandpa, I want a female Snorunt."
Does it have to be a female Snorunt?
Isn't the female Snorunt's evolved form Froslass?
Why don't you just say you want to tame a Froslass?
The old man immediately saw through his granddaughter's little scheme.
Good news, my granddaughter is making progress.
Bad news, his Gym might need a change in attributes.
The main reason was that Roy's Mega Froslass's performance in the battle had left a very deep impression on Whitney.
The feeling of being swept in by a blizzard accompanied by violent Ice type energy is still awe-inspiring just to recall.
Seeing his granddaughter insist on wanting a female Snorunt, the old man was filled with helplessness. He was a Normal type Gym Leader, and his granddaughter actually wanted to catch a Ghost type Pokémon.
Why can't there be a Ghost type / Normal type Pokémon in this world?
Roy had already left the ranch, did know of a Ghost type / Normal type Pokémon.
However, it's definitely not something you can see in this era. If the old man wants to catch it, he'll need to travel back to the ancient Sinnoh Region.
