"Thanks to you today, Primeape."
"Extremely popular!"
The Primeape, who was just moments ago fiercely battling Wartortle on the battlefield, felt embarrassed and lowered its head when Roy praised it.
The Headband Guy had never praised him before, but today he finally fought a battle that belonged to him.
I never knew battles could be so easy and so enjoyable. You don't have to listen to other people's nonsense; you just need to focus on yourself.
This is the true responsibility of Pokémon Trainer.
Instead of giving orders based on a superficial understanding or knowing only a little, and being self-righteous.
"Geely! Geely!"
"Did it pass?"
Upon learning that Roy had passed the Junior Trainer Qualification Exam Nurse Joy and Chansey seemed even happier Roy himself.
She felt like she was playing a simulation game, with Roy and Primeape acting as her main characters. The sense of accomplishment from watching Roy and Primeape improve day by day was unparalleled.
"Oh, right, there's something else I need to ask you, Sister Yanan."
"Um?"
He wanted to order some more Pokéblock from Nurse Joy, as the previous Pokéblock Joy had given him had been mostly eaten by Primeape, and they would probably only last until the end of the month.
He now has the idea of teaching himself how to make Pokéblock, but he is hindered by the fact that Agatha's current training plan does not include making Pokéblock.
Moreover, even if I become Beginner Breeder, I still won't be able to reach Nurse Joy's level for the time being, so I can only purchase things from Nurse Joy.
Nurse Joy thought Roy was going to say something important, but it was just a small problem, and she could handle it.
"Do I need the same kind of Pokéblock as before?"
Just as Roy was about to answer "yes," Roy suddenly felt something tugging at his clothes. Looking down, he saw it was Primeape.
Primeape knows that not all Pokémon can eat Pokéblock. Some ordinary Pokémon Trainer feed their Pokémon they eat, like the Headband Guy who often forgot to feed him.
"Extremely popular!"
The Litwick sprang from Roy's shoulder and translated in Roy ear. Roy's expression softened upon hearing the Litwick's translation.
It turns out that Primeape didn't want Roy to spend any more money on him, saying that he could just eat at the Academy cafeteria like Roy, since eating there was free anyway.
(Cafeteria worker: Thank you so much!)
He had seen Roy eating a lot in the cafeteria before, mainly because apart from helping Roy win a game today, he hadn't contributed much else and had already spent most of Roy's fortune.
Monsters like Misdreavus and Duskull can basically absorb Roy's Ghost Power, which makes him feel somewhat guilty.
After listening to Litwick's translation, Roy felt a pang of sympathy for Primeape's maturity.
He bent down and gently patted Primeape's forehead, carefully observing that Primeape previously exposed skin had all grown back fur, with only a faint, almost invisible scar remaining on its face.
"Your hard training in the future will be the greatest reward for me. Besides, how can you compare to Duskull and Misdreavus? The energy they absorb is no less than the Pokéblock you eat."
Don't you want to become the strongest Pokémon?
"We're going to become the strongest team together, aren't we?"
Is it the strongest?
Primeape recalled watching Fighting type tournament on Roy's Communicator, where the Fighting type champion would receive a Gold Belt.
However, he had never seen Primeape win an award in Fighting type tournament.
Can he become the strongest Pokémon?
"It's not just possible, it's definitely possible."
Hearing Roy's firm tone, Primeape also raised his fist to encourage himself.
"Extremely popular!"
He couldn't wait to train and battle with Roy, to climb to the highest position with Roy.
Watching the two get along so well, Nurse Joy, as Pokémon doctor, maintained a calm demeanor out of professional necessity, but inwardly she had already fallen for them.
Ah! Ah!
This is how she knew Pokémon Trainer and Pokémon interacted when she was a child.
Why didn't I meet Roy on my first day as Nurse Joy?
But thankfully it's not too late. Every time Roy and Primeape come over, they warm her somewhat chilled heart.
Nurse Joy wanted to give Roy some more Pokéblock, but Roy refused. The 200+ Pokéblock Nurse Joy had given him before were worth over 30,000 Poké Dollars.
Although I don't know how much Nurse Joy earns, I absolutely cannot let Nurse Joy pay out of her own pocket this time.
Besides, he swindled 20,000 Poké Dollars from the Mediterranean Director last time, so he still has about 50,000 Poké Dollars left.
However, in the end, Nurse Joy still sold Roy 20,000 Pokéblock at the cost price of 100 yuan each, enough for Primeape to eat the following month.
This is basically selling it at cost price. Normally, it would cost 250 Poké Dollars to sell to other Pokémon Trainer.
Chansey saw the two off at the entrance of the Pokémon Center.
Goodbye, Chansey.
"Auspicious!"
After leaving the Pokémon Center, Roy found two people waiting for him at the entrance. They were the same two people who had been watching the battle on the second floor earlier, and it seemed they had been waiting there for a while.
Roy didn't sense any malice from the two of them, and he knew what they wanted to ask.
The Primeape's Pokémon Trainer walked up to them with a familiar expression, but seemed a little embarrassed to speak.
After all, he had just bet that Roy wouldn't last 3 minutes; he wondered if Roy had heard him.
It wasn't until Roy asked, "Is something wrong?" that the Primeape Pokémon Trainer finally asked his own question:
"Bro, why does your Primeape seem more emotionally stable than mine Primeape? Can you tell me how you trained it?"
After saying that, the Primeape Pokémon Trainer, as if afraid Roy would refuse, added, "I can pay to ask."
Roy waved his hand:
"I think it's a difference between individuals. For example, my Primeape might be more obedient."
However, you can train with Primeape during its training sessions later; that might be helpful.
After saying that, Roy left without waiting to see if the Primeape's Pokémon Trainer understood.
