"Advanced Herbalism", "Fire-type Pokémon Breeding Data", "How to Make Perfect Quality Top-tier Energy Cubes", "On Breeders and Pokémon"
After seeing his master off, Kawaki sat alone behind the counter, flipping through the books Aiji had left for him.
There were no customers in the Breeding House, and the Pokémon had all gone to the backyard to sunbathe. The gentle afternoon breeze blew in through the window, passing through the hall. Such a beautiful atmosphere was perfect for reading.
Bewear stood not far away, watching its young master, then turned around and gently brought him a drink.
"You've worked hard, Bewear. You should go rest now too!" Kawaki said.
"Goo~"
Bewear stayed by his side. Kawaki read, and Bewear watched Kawaki.
Old Man Aiji had given him many types of books, almost encompassing all content related to breeders.
"Advanced Herbalism" discussed deeper levels of herb types, appearances, Growth environments, geographical conditions, and other aspects. It also included functional potions that could be formulated from each herb.
From restoring stamina to curing abnormal statuses, there were even potions to prevent Pokémon from shedding fur. "Fire-type Pokémon Breeding Data" detailed the breeding methods for Fire-type Pokémon.
These Pokémon are very compatible with fields full of Fire-type energy. If they train in hot areas full of fire energy, such as volcanoes or lava, they can achieve even more outstanding results.
"There's a Smoking Mountain near Fallarbor Town. I can take Growlithe to see it when I have time," Kawaki murmured.
There was much more content, and Kawaki was not in a hurry to finish it now.
They still had a lot of time, so they could take it gradually, slowly!
"On Breeders and Pokémon" discussed the relationship between the two, how to get along with Pokémon, and how to treat them with heart and love. In return, Pokémon would also give corresponding feedback.
Because only when you understand a Pokémon well enough can you formulate a more perfect plan for its diet and training.
However, the main focus for Kawaki today was "How to Make Perfect Quality Top-tier Energy Cubes."
Old Man Aiji had given him a complete set of Energy Cube recipes covering all attributes. There must be one that could meet Taillow's needs.
However, when Kawaki opened the book and saw the content on the first page, he was immediately stunned.
Because it actually said that perfect quality top-tier Energy Cubes needed to be mixed and made by hand, not by machine.
"-Cold, emotionless Berry mixing machines cannot bring warmth and emotion to Energy Cubes. Even when completed, Pokémon will find them tasteless, far from reaching perfection."
Kawaki continued to read.
"Energy Cubes made by hand-mixing Berries naturally incorporate the maker's emotions and love for Pokémon during the production process. The quality and effect of such Energy Cubes are often unexpectedly good. Preliminary speculation suggests that the maker's emotions and love bring some special effects to the Energy Cubes."
"Such as enhancing Pokémon's strength, making them stronger, improving Pokémon's intelligence, making them smarter, and occasionally producing unexpected effects in battles."
Kawaki looked at this content incredulously.
So, are emotions in the Pokémon world also a kind of power?
The content of this book was all handwritten. It was clear without thinking that it must be Old Man Aiji's lifetime of experience and summary.
In addition to these production methods, it even included some types of Energy Cubes that different species of Pokémon liked to eat.
Kawaki also saw Taillow's favorite Energy Cube among them.
"Taillow, the TinySwallow Pokémon, has the tenacity not to be disheartened even if it loses. It loves soaring in the sky and has a high compatibility with Leppa Berries. Energy Cubes made from Leppa Berries and Bananaberry, which grow in warm regions, are deeply loved by them."
Compared to those top-tier Energy Cubes, the difficulty of making this Energy Cube was much lower.
And there happened to be both types of Berries in the Breeding House.
Kawaki took a careful look, then memorized the production method.
He went to the kitchen, found the two types of Berries, hesitated for a moment when using the Berry blender, and finally decided to try making them by hand.
The steps for making Energy Cubes are very complex.
Berries need to go through processes like peeling, heating, boiling, stirring, removing impurities, and finally being put into corresponding molds to set before they can be completed.
Although somewhat numerous, Kawaki could accept it.
He only took half an hour to make a small box of Energy Cubes.
"Energy Cube (Taillow Flavor): An Energy Cube that perfectly matches Taillow's taste. It contains the nutrients needed for Taillow's Growth, but it is not perfect due to some residual impurities."
"Still impurities?"
Kawaki pondered for a moment, then thought about which step went wrong.
A moment later, he started trying again.
Time passed minute by minute. After several consecutive failures, Kawaki finally made a box of Energy Cubes without impurities.
"Energy Cube (Taillow Flavor): An Energy Cube that perfectly matches Taillow's taste. It contains the nutrients needed for Taillow's Growth, and its quality is perfect."
Finally successful!
*
That evening, when Taillow flew to the Breeding House to freeload food as usual, it suddenly found that Kawaki was already waiting there early.
As soon as it landed, it smelled a very enticing aroma.
Looking at the box of beautiful and translucent Energy Cubes, Taillow's eyes instantly straightened.
Saliva unconsciously secreted from its mouth, which greatly brightened its mood, which had been somewhat annoyed by attacks from other wild Pokémon.
"Want to try? This is my latest Energy Cube, specially developed for you." Kawaki began to set the stage while glancing at Taillow's data.
Through his painstaking management and feeding during this period, this Taillow's favorability towards him had reached 70.
However, its current happiness value was much lower. He didn't know what made it unhappy today; its happiness value had just broken through negative numbers, reaching 10.
Hearing Kawaki's words, Taillow nodded, then began to eat diligently, looking nothing like its usual proud self.
"Chirp!"
Delicious!
The annoyance in Taillow's heart was instantly dispelled.
Nothing could make a bird happier than eating delicious food!
"!"
A dazzling white light surged from Taillow's body.
Within the light, Taillow's figure rapidly changed.
It evolved! It evolved into Swellow!
A very dazzling small sun floated above Swellow's head.
This indicated that its mood at this moment was extremely happy.
And at the same time, a string of text appeared before Kawaki's eyes.
"Swellow's mood increased, happiness value +80, received Taillow's gift: 'A piece of information 4'."
"Swellow revealed a piece of information 4 to you: Your cooking has completely conquered Swellow. If you can make delicious apple pie, perhaps Swellow will help you invite that Pokémon and its brother to the Breeding House to taste apple pie."
