"Let me formally introduce myself! My name is Aiji, and I am the President of the Fallarbor Town Breeding Association. My position is that of a Master Breeder. Including myself, there are less than fifteen Master Breeders in the entire Hoenn region."
Old Man Aiji introduced himself with a proud expression.
Becoming a Breeder is easy, but becoming a Master-level Pokémon Breeder is not.
At this level, breeding Pokémon is effortless for them. Sometimes, just by looking, they can plan the most suitable breeding path for the target Pokémon in their minds.
They can even enable Pokémon to break through their original species limitations, allowing even a naturally weak Pokémon like Caterpie to have a slight possibility of slaying a dragon.
Master-level?
Kawaki was dumbfounded.
Breeders of this caliber hold a position in the Pokémon League that is completely on par with a regional Champion!
They also possess countless top-tier resources. Some people even spend a fortune just to meet them and ask for their help in breeding Pokémon.
Such a prominent figure is now actively offering to take him as a disciple?
Kawaki found it a bit hard to believe.
"How about it? Will you agree?"
Old Man Aiji, standing before him, asked with a chuckle.
As far as he knew, the young Kawaki in front of him was not only as excellent as he appeared on the surface.
Besides breeding Pokémon, he could even teach difficult moves to Pokémon within just one or two days.
Those who had experienced the Breeding House's services had almost no negative reviews or failures.
All of this proved young Kawaki's strength. In terms of breeding Pokémon and teaching Pokémon moves, he was absolutely a once-in-a-century genius!
If other old fellows knew about such an outstanding junior, they would surely fly over overnight to snatch him up, probably even resorting to a big fight.
Now, he had acted first to gain the upper hand!
Kawaki did not answer immediately but thought calmly.
A Master Breeder taking him as a disciple, a top-tier Energy Cube recipe, and he didn't even need to leave the Breeding House. More importantly, with such a master, he could avoid many detours in Pokémon breeding. With all these benefits laid out before Kawaki, he seemed to have no reason to refuse.
Thinking of this, Kawaki no longer hesitated and decisively agreed.
"Master!"
Hearing this address, Old Man Aiji's smile almost reached his ears. He quickly responded, "Yes! Good disciple, from now on, you will study with me!"
"Yes!"
Old Man Aiji was very generous.
After taking him as a disciple, he immediately returned to the Breeder Association in Fallarbor Town and brought Kawaki a very generous meeting gift.
A complete set of Energy Cube recipes, and a box of his own compiled books on Pokémon breeding.
"This is a complete set of top-tier Energy Cube recipes. Almost every type has a corresponding Energy Cube, enough to satisfy Pokémon of different types."
"However, even the most top-tier Energy Cube may not suit all Pokémon's tastes. As a Breeder, you must listen carefully to the Pokémon's heart, feel their thoughts. When you understand them enough, you can create an Energy Cube that suits their taste."
Old Man Aiji said slowly.
"As for these books, they are my insights written over the years. You can read them slowly, and if you don't understand anything, you can always ask me. This is my contact information, please note it down."
"Okay." Kawaki listened attentively. He nodded, committing the words to memory.
Old Man Aiji did not turn to leave. He smiled, turned his head, and looked around, asking, "Will you show me your Breeding House?"
"Of course, no problem." Kawaki nodded, "Please follow me."
The two then began to wander around the Breeding House.
"This is the inn. Guests passing by usually rest here. I was a bit busy when I was alone, but fortunately, now I have the Clefairy helping me, so I'm much more relaxed. For the Breeding House, the inn also brings in a very considerable income." Kawaki introduced.
Old Man Aiji nodded, while also encouraging him, "When you become a powerful Breeder, you won't lack money then!"
Kawaki smiled and said, "It's not that I lack money. In fact, the current income of the Breeding House is already enough to support me and the Pokémon. The main reason I opened this inn is to provide a place for those Trainers to stay."
"Moreover, we are the only household in this vicinity. It can get a bit lonely living alone, so having guests stay here makes it livelier, and I can also hear them talk about what's happening outside."
"So that's how it is…" Old Man Aiji could probably understand that feeling.
"However, with Pokémon around, living alone is fine." Kawaki said with a smile, "Please follow me."
The two then arrived at the backyard of the Breeding House, where Kawaki introduced:
"This is where the guests' Pokémon live. Guests usually board their Pokémon here, just like in other Breeding Houses."
"What about next door?" Old Man Aiji intentionally looked towards the other side of the fence.
"Next door?" Kawaki followed his gaze and saw the meticulously crafted planting area he had created.
"That's where I grow some vegetables and berries." Kawaki explained, "The Breeding House is too far from the town, and it takes a long time to walk, so for convenience, I cleared a field and an orchard there."
Old Man Aiji walked towards that area. He stood in front of the fence, looking inside.
In that area, some Pokémon were also living.
A Castform using Rain Dance above the farmland, and Oddish tending to the vegetables next to them.
Further away, the figures of Chansey and Ditto were vaguely visible.
"It seems your Pokémon are all very well-behaved and sensible!" Old Man Aiji praised.
"Actually, for them, this is also a form of special training." Kawaki said.
As a Master Breeder, Old Man Aiji immediately understood Kawaki's meaning upon hearing this.
When he looked at that Oddish again, he clearly saw that the Oddish was not simply tending to the vegetables but was mobilizing the Grass-type energy within its body and infusing it into the vegetables in front of it.
"Does that Oddish take care of the vegetables like this every day?" Old Man Aiji asked.
Kawaki nodded, "That's right."
"Integrating special training into daily life?" Old Man Aiji murmured to himself, then his eyes filled with admiration: "What a brilliant idea!"
Using daily vegetable care to train a Pokémon's energy control ability can significantly increase a Pokémon's proficiency in energy control over time, thereby affecting the overall use of moves.
Brilliant, truly brilliant!
His disciple was truly interesting, able to think of this at such a young age.
If those old fogeys knew about this, they would probably be green with envy.
Given the nature of those old fellows, they might even try to poach him.
However, this was his precious disciple, whom he had found with great difficulty, and who would inherit his legacy. He would not easily give him away to others.
