Brock and Takeshi's Conversation

"Actually, if we swapped the Mysterious Powder for Clear Wind Grass, would that be better? Use the Mysterious Powder as a supplementary material, and the Clear Wind Grass could—"

"No. If we did that, the Clear Wind Grass could indeed stimulate the effects of the Sparkle Grass more effectively, but for Combusken—"

"Then have you considered using Starlight Grass? It's a fair bit more expensive, but it's a mutated version of Sparkle Grass. Its medicinal effects are basically the same as Sparkle Grass, and—"

"If that's the case, it's not impossible, but then the supplementary material would need to be changed to—"

"What about Star Mushroom?"

The two of them began discussing it with great enthusiasm. Of course, most of the time, it was still Tetsuya talking and Brock listening.

After all, Tetsuya had Zero, and he was a genius at learning in his own right. It was not especially strange for him to be better than Brock.

But several of the points Brock raised gave Tetsuya a great deal of inspiration as well. After all, Zero's plans were perfected Based On his understanding of the materials.

But the properties of materials In the Open were not everything. Some special materials and properties were not made public.

Over all these years, Tetsuya had only managed to figure out part of it through study and research, That's All.

As the descendant of a Gym Leader and the future successor of a Gym, Brock's stockpile of knowledge in this area could be said to be far ahead of Tetsuya's.

Brock brought up many materials Tetsuya did not know about, or properties he had not known, which could effectively further improve Tetsuya's efficiency in using resources.

The two of them talked on and on for three hours, not coming back to themselves until the restaurant was almost empty.

"Hahaha, you really are amazing, Tetsuya. You have such a clear understanding of the reactions between all kinds of materials.

"And that formula of yours for the reaction potion was practically perfect. It's just a shame it only applies to your Pokemon and can't be used universally."

Brock praised him.

"Not really. There are still a lot of things I don't know." Tetsuya shook his head.

"It's getting late. I'll head back first. Let's add each other as friends. I'm free tomorrow too, so we can discuss it again." Brock pulled up the Pokemon Watch interface.

"Sure." Tetsuya gladly agreed.

After the two of them added each other through the Pokemon Watch's friend function, they said goodbye and left.

When Brock returned home, Brock was sitting on the sofa reading a report from his subordinates.

"Did Kintaro have diarrhea? Did you change his diaper?

"Has Bunta's cold gotten any better? Did he take his medicine?

"Did Yoshi finish her homework today? Did you check it?"

Looking at his father working, Brock started nagging instead.

Brock immediately felt his head swell and put down the report.

"I did it, I did it all. Kintaro was very good today, no problems. Bunta also took his medicine on time. Yoshi is still writing. You can check her homework later."

"By the Way, what did you go out to do tonight?" Brock calmly changed the subject.

"I met an interesting Trainer during today's Gym Battle. He was born an orphan and is the same age as me.

"According to the information, he has a Pidgeot. The Joy Family's estimate is that it has Champion potential, and its current energy is probably at the middle Elite stage.

"His newly captured Combusken's potential is unknown, but it has the Speed Boost Ability. According to the family records, it's estimated to be at least Champion level, possibly Quasi-Champion.

"As for his strength, it was very good. Today, he used the Graveler and Dugtrio from Breeding Room 3 and swept them both with one Pokemon.

"His sources of funds are Fire Stones and Bounty Quests. Overall, there are no issues, so I went to get to know him."

"Mm. Sounds like a lucky guy." Brock picked the report back up and started reading again.

There were plenty of cases where a Commoner Trainer happened to obtain a highly qualified Pokemon, but not many of them ultimately amounted to anything.

The reason was that a single relatively powerful Pokemon could not be the decisive factor in battle, and Commoner Trainers did not have that many resources or channels to cultivate and obtain other highly qualified Pokemon.

Even lucky people like Tetsuya, who had obtained two Pokemon with Champion potential in a row, were not unheard of.

Chairman Alder even had a contract with a Legendary Pokemon, and he had also been born a commoner.

It could only be said that Tetsuya had potential worth investing in.

Brock did not find Brock's reaction strange.

After all, to upper-class members of the League like them, one or two people like Tetsuya appearing every year was nothing at all.

Unless they appeared in droves, but that was unrealistic. Even they did not have that many highly qualified Pokemon, let alone commoners.

"Originally, I was only planning to chat with him and Build a Good Relationship in advance. Later, I discovered this guy might really be a genius."

"Oh?" Brock responded absentmindedly.

"There are no issues in terms of training. It's just normal training methods, only more effective than the average Commoner Trainer's.

"At least that's how it looks for now. He's still some distance away from the standard training configuration we've set."

Brock spoke very indifferently.

"But he's very strong in terms of breeding. Extremely strong. Aside from limitations in information, I think he could directly go and obtain the title of Breeding Master."

Only when he said this did Brock's emotions finally show some fluctuation.

Brock raised an eyebrow and lifted his head.

He understood his eldest son very well; he generally would not make wild claims.

Moreover, Brock himself was very interested in and talented at being a Breeder. Recently, he had just passed the Breeder Level 5 exam, which already made him an intermediate Breeder.

But was Breeding Master not going a bit too far? One had to know that the most outstanding Breeder in recent years was Koyuki.

She had also been born a commoner, but she had only passed the Level 9 exam last year, when she was twenty-one.

Breeder exams were divided into ten levels in total, and that was already an extremely high level.

Even for a genius like that, the Alliance internally estimated that Koyuki would only break through Level 10 and become a Breeding Master at the age of thirty, which would already be the third-youngest achievement in Alliance history.

If he was not mistaken, this Tetsuya should still be under seventeen, right?

He could become a Breeding Master too?

Brock also saw his father's look, and he knew what his father was wondering.

"I'm not saying he can become a Breeding Master right now. The gaps in his knowledge will still need at least around five years to make up for.

"It's just that when it comes to the energy reactions between various materials, the preparation of potions, and the design of plans tailored to individual Pokémon, I personally think he can already be considered master-level."

What Brock did not know was that Tetsuya's talent for learning was even more terrifying than he imagined.

But this was already enough to arouse Flint's interest and attention.

After all, there were many Breeders, but not many could obtain the title of Breeding Master.

A Breeder of this level was required to be able to provide a targeted Training Plan for any Pokémon. The entire plan had to conform to that Pokémon's development at every stage and be able to increase the Pokémon's strength at the fastest speed.

Every Breeding Master was also a powerful Trainer.

At present, there were no more than fifteen people in the Alliance who held the title of Breeding Master and were still alive.

Every time someone wanted to invite these people to customize a plan, even a wealthy Gym Leader like Flint found it somewhat hard to bear.

The key point was that they did not really want money. More often, they demanded those rare, high-grade breeding materials.

They themselves were short on those too. After giving them to these Breeding Masters, they would have no resources left to raise their own Pokémon.

Seeking investments, collections, recommendations, and Monthly Passes!!!

Seeking everything!!

P.S. I woke up early this morning and found my wrist hurt like hell. No idea what happened. I had originally planned to add another update, but now I'll just leave it to fate.

Two updates on Friday; the second update will be at five in the afternoon.
