The evening breeze blew through the lawn, bringing the aroma of barbecue and people's laughter.
Dinner is still a buffet, just as rich as lunch, and even has a few more special dishes than lunch.
Yushu took a plate of roasted lamb legs and found a quiet corner to sit down, thinking about it in his mind while eating.
This exchange meeting was well worth it.
Not only did I buy Miltank and Skiddo, I also bought a lot of food for free.
This whole thing was much more cost-effective than expected.
Uxie and Mew finally recovered.
After resting for most of the day, the digestion abilities of the two masters were not limited. They would be resurrected with full blood and start the cooking mode again.
Yushu looked at them from a distance.
Who is it, I don't know.
"What are you thinking about?"
Whitney came over and sat down next to him.
Yushu recovered his thoughts and replied casually, "Nothing, I was just thinking, I should go back."
Originally, I should have gone back after buying Shuckle, but the exchange meeting was delayed for another half a month. I am afraid that there is a lot of things waiting for him at the ranch at home waiting for him to be the manager.
Whitney was a little surprised:
"Don't you want to play for a few more days? There are many fun places in Goldenrod City! I can take you to a department store or something."
"No, I have something to do at home at the ranch, so I can't go out for too long."
Yushu shook his head.
There are quite a few newly added Pokémon during this period, including Shuckle, Spinarak, Heracross, and the subsequent Miltank and Skiddo, which all take time to settle and adapt to.
Although he, a rancher, likes to be the hands-off boss, he can't really just ignore everything.
Next, it's time to go back to Sinnoh to develop properly.
Whitney listened to what he said honestly and nodded:
"Well, next time you come to Johto, I will take you to eat the most delicious barbecue in Goldenrod City!"
"Definitely."
Yushu smiled and nodded.
On the other side, Gold was holding a roast leg of lamb and chewing until his mouth was full of oil. When he saw Yushu walking over, he asked vaguely:
"Is the mud getting to your elbows?"
"Well, just these two days."
Yushu nodded:
"What about you? What are your plans next?"
Gold rarely showed a serious expression. "I'd better continue to challenge the gym, and then win the championship first."
"Dojo? Aren't you interested in challenging the tournament?"
Yushu is a little surprised.
He had asked Gold this question before, and the guy's answer at that time was that the challenge conference was so tiring, and he might as well eat and drink everywhere.
Why did you suddenly change your gender now?
Gold sighed, "I can't help it. I suddenly feel that as a trainer, I still need to have something that I can use. I don't want to be slapped in the face by you adding coins next time we meet."
"Huh? What about me?"
Yushu pointed at himself.
"What if?"
Gold rolled his eyes. "Making friends with you is so stressful that even a normal heart can't bear it."
This guy knows how to play with invisible coins. He is obviously working seriously, but he behaves like he is just having fun.
This kind of power revealed inadvertently is the most shocking thing.
Gold can't even imagine how exciting it would be if he himself could be so awesome.
"What's the matter? Don't you have special abilities?" Yushu shrugged.
"Don't mention it!"
When it comes to this, Gold is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.
Yushu curled his lips.
Hatcher Well, what a great ability.
Before, he had doubted whether Gold's ability was real, but Mew told him that this guy could resonate with the life in the egg, read Pokémon's emotions in the egg, and discover the hidden power of the larvae.
A decent gain buff.
That being said, the previous Togepi is not necessarily the cause of Unown.
Wouldn't that mean that nothing good would be gained?
Two days later, Yushu had returned by boat.
Nothing unexpected happened on the way back, and the life was quite pleasant.
The sea breeze was gentle, the sun was warm, and occasionally a few Wingull passed by the bow.
Everything is so peaceful and beautiful.
According to the crew, food was often thrown away in the kitchen for no apparent reason. The chef was so angry that he stamped his feet and vowed to find the two thieves.
After hearing the news, Yushu turned his head and glanced at Uxie and Mew who were enjoying themselves, and silently looked away.
Well, I don't know, absolutely not.
A few days later, the ship finally arrived at Canalave City at Sinnoh Region.
The sea breeze in Canalave City is cooler than that in Johto, with a salty smell.
But this is nothing to Yushu who is used to the Sinnoh climate.
He did not stay at Canalave City, but took the train directly to Jubilife City.
Why not just reply to Solaceon Town?
That's because Cynthia said that his Intermediate Stage breeder certificate has arrived at Jubilife City's Pokémon Breeder Association and can be collected directly.
Jubilife City.
Yushu walked out of the station, stopped a taxi, and reported the address:
"Go to the Pokémon Breeder Association building."
The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties. When he heard about the destination, he immediately became interested:
"Young man, are you a breeder?"
"That's right."
Yushu replied casually.
"Oh, being a breeder is a good profession!"
The uncle kept talking. "I have a nephew who is also a breeder. He just passed the Beginner Stage exam last year and now works in a Pokémon Day Care. The salary is very high!"
"If you go to the Pokémon Breeder Association at such a young age, you will have a bright future!"
"It's okay."
Yushu smiled politely.
The taxi passed through several busy commercial streets and stopped in front of a tall building.
Pokémon Breeder Association Building.
Yushu arrived at the office where he received the certificate with ease, opened the door and walked in.
In the office, there is a Nurse Joy sitting at the front desk processing documents.
"Hello, I'm here to collect the Intermediate Stage breeder qualification certificate."
That Nurse Joy looked up and saw a familiar face.
"Huh? Mr. Yushu?"
"Are you...Joy Ling?"
Yushu recognized it. The person who came was none other than Joy Ling who helped him apply for the Beginner Stage cultivator qualification last time. He was also the Nurse Joy who took the exam together.
To be honest, I really didn't recognize it.
After all, Nurse Joy all look similar. If you are not particularly familiar with them, it would be difficult to tell them apart.
Yushu Sometimes I really admire Brock. How on earth can that guy recognize different Nurse Joy at a glance.
Joy Ling looked him up and down. "Mr. Yushu, are you really here to receive the Intermediate Stage breeder qualification certificate?"
"Yes, the paper has passed and the review has passed. The certificate should have been issued."
Yushu nodded naturally.
"I know this, but I still can't believe it when I see him in person."
Joy Ling is still shocked.
The Beginner Stage breeder exam she took with Yushu took less than half a year to complete. She jumped from Beginner Stage to Intermediate Stage in half a year, which is extremely rare in the history of the Pokémon Breeder Association.
Generally speaking, it takes at least three to five years of accumulation and practice to be promoted from a Beginner Stage cultivator to a Intermediate Stage cultivator.
This is still fast, and there are even many people who are stuck on the threshold of Beginner Stage throughout their lives, unable to cross it no matter what.
And what about Yushu?
Not only did he complete this leap in half a year, but he also obtained the qualification by discovering a new evolutionary type.
This is a level more difficult than the regular exam, and it's almost like cheating.
"Wait a moment, I'll help you go through the formalities."
Joy Ling stood up and walked to the back office.
Yushu sat down in the waiting area and looked around boredly.
The hall of the Pokémon Breeder Association is very spacious, with photos and profiles of outstanding breeders from all over the world hung on the wall.
There is also an electronic screen Rollout next to the front desk that plays the latest announcements of the association.
At this moment, a voice came from behind him.
"Are you Yushu?"
Yushu turned his head and saw a young man standing behind him, looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
This young man looks about eighteen or nineteen years old,
He looks pretty decent, with sharp features, but there is an indescribable arrogance in his eyes.
"I am, who are you?"
Yushu asked politely.
"My name is Taozhu! Beginner Stage breeder!"
The young man held his head high, with a hint of arrogance in his tone. "I've heard of your name, Mr. Yushu."
His tone sounded like a compliment, but everyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.
Yushu raised his eyebrows:
"Oh? Have you heard my story?"
Who is this person? What does this smell of Jiahao mean?
Taozhu felt a little unhappy when he saw his lackluster reaction, and said:
"I heard that you discovered a new evolved type, and you were directly promoted to Intermediate Stage Breeder with this."
"Ang, what's wrong?"
Yushu looked calm.
"But I also heard that behind your paper, there is the shadow of Professor Rowan."
He has studied Yushu's paper, and it is really good. However, it has the signature of Professor Rowan!
Who is Professor Rowan?
That is the authoritative researcher of Sinnoh Region!
With him as a mentor, even a wild dog from the village can be brought up.
Taozhu's lips curved into a mocking arc:
"Tsk tsk, it's good to have a Ph. D. teacher as your backer. You can casually become a Intermediate Stage and cultivate a strong family. Unlike ordinary people like us, we have no connections and can only reach the top step by step on our own."
His voice was very loud, deliberately letting everyone around him hear it.
Yushu:"... You must be sick."
He and this guy named Taozhu had never met each other before, but the guy came over in a weird way for no reason. He thought it was something, but it turned out that he had met Jiahao.
Hey, there is no other way. Whoever allows himself to be promoted to Intermediate Stage at such a young age can indeed easily arouse the envy of others.
Especially for those who have become cultivators at a young age, it feels like you have been climbing a mountain for a long time, only to find that someone took the cable car directly to the top of the mountain.
No one would be able to feel balanced.
But what does it have to do with him?
If you have the ability, come too.
Taozhu saw his reaction and thought he was guilty, so he got even more excited:
"What? Did I poke a painful spot? Are you afraid to speak?"
"Let me just say, how can a newcomer who just got the Beginner Stage qualification certificate be promoted to Intermediate Stage so quickly? If there is nothing fishy in this, I will write the name backwards!"
