As one of the most overpowered abilities in the Pokémon world, Tokiwa Power makes healing Pokémon injuries incredibly easy.
"Tha...thank you..." Mu Qingxue said sincerely, she could clearly feel that Ralts's condition had improved greatly.
"You're welcome, it was no trouble at all."
Seeing that Ralts was fine, Jiang Mo took Pikachu and left the battleground.
In the afternoon, the Pokémon Breeder Program's intensive training class was about to begin.
As the only two students in the Pokémon Breeder Program from Class 4, Jiang Mo and Mu Qingxue entered the Pokémon Breeder classroom one after another. The afternoon sun streamed through the windows, casting patches of light and shadow on the desks.
The teacher stood on the podium and began to explain Pokémon Breeder knowledge: "The key to Pokémon breeding is understanding their habits and needs."
"For example, Pokémon of different types have different food preferences, and energy cubes are a good way to meet their nutritional needs."
"To make energy cubes, you first need to prepare fresh Tree Fruit, grind them into a paste, and then compress them into shape using a special mold..."
As a Mid-level Breeder, this knowledge was too basic for Jiang Mo. His thoughts gradually drifted, and he began to consider the training plans for Pikachu and Gastly.
"Jiang Mo, please answer, how do you adjust the energy cube formula based on a Pokémon's characteristics?" The teacher's voice suddenly rang out, and Jiang Mo instantly snapped back to attention.
He calmly stood up and replied, "If it's a Fire-type Pokémon, you can appropriately add spicy Tree Fruit to the energy cube, like Rawst Berry, which can stimulate its fire power."
"As for Fighting-type Pokémon, the sour taste of a Tamato Berry can increase their stamina and endurance, which helps to enhance the Pokémon's strength."
Jiang Mo spoke eloquently, and the teacher nodded with satisfaction, motioning for him to sit down.
After class, Mu Qingxue walked up to Jiang Mo, a hint of subtle expectation in her eyes: "Jiang Mo, the special ability you used this morning helped Ralts a lot. I'd like to ask you to continue helping it clear its hidden injuries. I know this is a very presumptuous request, but I'm willing to pay any compensation."
Jiang Mo looked at her and calmly said, "There's no need for compensation. Ralts's hidden injuries are quite tricky and require long-term gentle nourishment with Tokiwa Power. Each time, I can use Tokiwa Power to soothe its damaged energy pathways, but this process might be very long."
"Tokiwa Power! That explains it..." Mu Qingxue's heart jolted, then she immediately returned to her usual composure.
She nodded slightly and thanked him, "Then I'll trouble you. No matter how long it takes, as long as Ralts can get better. I will try my best to cooperate with you, just tell me if you need any resources."
Jiang Mo responded, "Alright, then I will regularly treat Ralts from now on. You should also pay more attention to its condition and inform me of any changes promptly."
Mu Qingxue softly said "Mm," still maintaining her aloof demeanor, but there was a newfound trust in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Mo.
After all, Tokiwa Power's healing ability was renowned.
In the following days, Jiang Mo arrived at school on time every day to treat Ralts's hidden injuries.
Mu Qingxue also always brought Ralts early to wait. She remained taciturn, just quietly watching Jiang Mo apply Tokiwa Power.
During each treatment, a soft green glow would emanate from Jiang Mo's palm, slowly enveloping Ralts.
He was focused, carefully probing Ralts's damaged energy pathways, slowly repairing and clearing them with Tokiwa Power.
Mu Qingxue, standing by, would occasionally offer some Moomoo Milk to aid recovery. Jiang Mo would then unceremoniously take it and drink it down. Although they didn't converse much, their cooperation gradually became seamless.
However, such frequent interactions ultimately did not escape the notice of their classmates.
Rumors gradually spread across the campus, "Look, Jiang Mo and Mu Qingxue spend time together every day. Are they dating?"
"Jiang Mo is too amazing, he actually managed to win over the aloof campus beauty."
"Wuwuwu, my goddess, it's like a fresh flower stuck in Tauros dung..."
Various voices rose and fell. Some people were jealous of Jiang Mo, thinking that Mu Qingxue had been blinded.
This day, Jiang Mo had just finished treating Ralts and was about to discuss the subsequent arrangements with Mu Qingxue.
Suddenly, a boy dressed in designer clothes, accompanied by a few followers, strode over.
He was Zhao Yuxuan from the neighboring Class 1, from a wealthy family, always thinking highly of himself, and a fervent admirer of Mu Qingxue.
Zhao Yuxuan immediately yelled at Jiang Mo with a look of disdain, "You're Jiang Mo? An unknown nobody, yet you dare to wander around Qingxue all day!"
Jiang Mo's gaze turned cold, and he retorted without showing weakness, "Whose Poochyena isn't properly leashed, running around barking in school?"
"Who are you calling a dog!" Zhao Yuxuan's face turned beet red with anger. "Someone like you, with no status and no background, only deserves to be the lowest Grimer of society, living in dark sewers. How could Qingxue possibly fancy you?"
Upon hearing this, a rebellious urge surged within Jiang Mo. He put an arm around Mu Qingxue's shoulder and sneered, "What a coincidence, my Qingxue just happens to like cute Grimer. What are you going to do about it?"
"Ralts!"
The Ralts beside them also quickly jumped onto Jiang Mo's shoulder to show support. Jiang Mo had been healing it every day these past few days, and its fondness for Jiang Mo was rapidly increasing.
Mu Qingxue's pretty face flushed at the actions of Ralts and Jiang Mo, but she didn't say much, only coldly stated, "Zhao Yuxuan, if you continue to be unreasonable, I will inform the teacher."
Zhao Yuxuan's jealousy burned even brighter when he saw Mu Qingxue speaking up for Jiang Mo: "Alright, Jiang Mo, do you dare to have a Pokémon battle with me? If you lose, stay far away from Qingxue and stop fantasizing!"
"Here we go again, a simp never gets the girl..."
Jiang Mo muttered inwardly. Before he could answer, Pikachu had already jumped forward, glaring angrily at Zhao Yuxuan, as if saying, "You wanna challenge me, kid?"
Seeing this, Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "Why not? Today, I'll show you that there's always someone better."
The battle began. Zhao Yuxuan flicked the Poké Ball in his hand, sending out a Squirtle.
"Squirtle, Squirtle!"
Squirtle leaped out of its Poké Ball, confidently wiggling its small body, its shell gleaming in the sunlight.
Electric beats Water, the advantage is mine!
Jiang Mo remained calm and ordered Pikachu: "Pikachu, use Agility, get close to Squirtle."
Pikachu moved like lightning, instantly closing the distance with Squirtle.
"Squirtle, use Water Gun!" Zhao Yuxuan hurriedly shouted.
Squirtle quickly shot a powerful Water Gun from its mouth, heading straight for Pikachu.
"Pikachu, jump up, then use Electro Ball!"
Jiang Mo commanded calmly.
Pikachu leaped high, avoiding the Water Gun attack, its tail glowing with a golden light as it formed an Electro Ball, throwing it towards Squirtle.
Seeing this, Squirtle quickly retreated into its shell. Pikachu's Electro Ball hit the shell, splashing Sparks.
However, the electricity still passed through the shell and hit Squirtle, causing considerable damage.
"Squirtle, while Pikachu is still landing, use Tackle!" Zhao Yuxuan yelled.
Squirtle poked its head out from its shell and quickly charged at Pikachu.
"Pikachu, use Quick Attack to dodge, then use Thunder Shock!" Jiang Mo decisively ordered.
Pikachu easily dodged the Tackle, electricity surged through its body, and a thick bolt of electricity shot towards Squirtle.
Squirtle couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the Thunder Shock, its body went numb, and it collapsed to the ground.
