After training, Kebi looked at the two Pokémon, who were simultaneously using both hands to grab Pokémon food and stuff it into their mouths.
A relieved smile appeared on his face.
The captain said with emotion, "Compared to the sailors on my ship, your method of training Pokémon is indeed very different."
"Combined with your Breeder skills, I believe you will become a powerful Trainer!"
The captain took out his portable tablet, found a map of the Hoenn region, and scrolled to Fortree City, saying:
"The Pokémon gathering place I want to tell you about is just north of Fortree City. It's a peculiar environment where half the beach is blue and half is red."
"Not only does it have a large number of Water attribute Pokémon, but surprisingly, there are also many Fire attribute and Ground attribute Pokémon."
A beach that was half blue and half red, combined with the three attributes the captain mentioned.
Kebi immediately understood who created this beach.
"Going by sea, the waters are dotted with high and low reefs, making it easy to run aground and sink. I was very lucky to swim to shore."
"However, going by land is not easy either; there are no ready-made roads, and there are many dangers along the way. You'd best be fully prepared before you go."
"The Pokémon there are quite aggressive, and your Pokémon might need more time to train, otherwise…"
Kebi understood that if he couldn't even defeat the local Pokémon, there was no point in trying to catch a desired Pokémon.
After the two Pokémon finished eating, Kebi returned them to their Poké Balls and followed the captain to the staff cafeteria to enjoy a staff fitness meal.
Kebi also suggested several muscle-building meal plans suitable for post-workout consumption to the captain.
Brock once sought advice from the wife of Gym Leader A Si of the Sootopolis Gym, a master in preparing fitness meals that met the needs of Fighting Masters and Fighting attribute Pokémon.
A Si and his Pokémon were so strong, thanks to her recipes.
The knowledge Brock sought was inherited by the Breeder character card and now became Kebi's knowledge.
After eating, Kebi went to the deck and released Piplup and Chimchar.
"The scenery at sea is beautiful, isn't it?"
Piplup and Chimchar stood on Kebi's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, so astonished by the sea view that their mouths hung open.
Although Piplup is a Water attribute Pokémon, this was his first time seeing the sea.
"Piplup~"
"Hoo hoo~"
After enjoying the scenery, it was time to continue training.
After the extra training, Kebi felt he had underestimated their appetite.
He had prepared enough food for a week, but with this training intensity, it wouldn't even last three days.
He didn't stand on ceremony with the captain; he went straight to the kitchen and started making Pokémon food.
Of course, Kebi wasn't greedy; he stopped after making about half a month's worth.
The rest was for the ship's Pokémon, universal Pokémon food prepared for Water attribute and Flying attribute Pokémon.
The captain said he could use it freely, but Kebi couldn't truly be impolite.
There were actually three chefs on the ship, but they all had a rough style.
This time, helping Kebi, they all exclaimed that they had learned a lot.
The ingredients in the storeroom were transformed into jars of Pokémon food.
The captain gained Pokémon food, and Kebi also practiced his skills with these high-quality ingredients.
After the captain learned about this, he immediately had someone refund Kebi's fare and even forced a batch of high-quality ingredients into Kebi's backpack.
He also gave Kebi a universal ticket, allowing him to ride any of the Seapower Shipping Company's ships for free.
The next day, the ship arrived at Littleroot Town, and Kebi disembarked.
The captain and chefs waved to him:
"When you participate in the regional tournament, don't forget to call us! We'll watch on TV and cheer you on!"
Kebi also waved, "I'll work hard not to disappoint everyone!"
First, he used a public phone to call the orphanage to report his safety.
【System, check-in!】
【Checked in at Littleroot Town, received reward: 2 Potions.】
That's… it?
It's almost noon now; if he speeds up, he should be able to reach Guchen Town before dark.
Pokémon Centers offer free accommodation to Trainers, but rooms are limited.
He hoped there would still be rooms at the Pokémon Center when he arrived in Guchen Town.
He released Piplup and Chimchar and pointed them in the direction of Guchen Town.
"Piplup, Chimchar, let's run forward and burn our youth!"
In an unfamiliar wilderness environment, Kebi decided not to do extreme training.
Yesterday, during extreme training on the ship, Piplup and Chimchar didn't even have the strength to move their arms by the end.
If they encountered danger in the wild, the three of them would be finished in such a state.
This wasn't a game where you blacked out and then opened your eyes back at the Pokémon Center.
Conserving stamina and maintaining combat ability is the first priority for a Trainer's journey.
Running along the main road, aside from a white-Qualifications Rattata occasionally darting out of the bushes and a green-Qualifications Beautifly flying overhead.
Kebi didn't see any Pokémon worth catching.
Indeed, to catch rare Pokémon, you have to venture deep into the mountains and old forests.
Ash and his friends simply got tactically lost; without getting lost, how would they encounter rare Pokémon?
Speaking of which, which rare Pokémon did Ash encounter during his journey in the Hoenn region?
Kebi suddenly felt that traveling with Ash might be the best way to increase the chances of catching rare Pokémon.
He just didn't know where Ash and his friends were on their journey now.
Xiao Yao and Xiao Sheng were currently traveling with Ash; he could ask Gym Leader Qian Li of the Olivine Gym about them.
Yesterday's training yielded significant results; both Piplup and Chimchar leveled up once.
But what puzzled Kebi was that Piplup's stamina stat increased by one point, while Chimchar's physical attack stat increased by one point.
Despite receiving the same training, the results were completely different.
There are too many hidden mysteries in Pokémon; Kebi felt he needed to continue exploring.
Extreme training couldn't be done every day; Kebi could sense that Piplup and Chimchar's enthusiasm today wasn't as high as yesterday.
However, by running forward, they still reached Guchen Town in three hours.
They even stopped for a half-hour break in between.
After returning Piplup and Chimchar to their Poké Balls to rest, Kebi headed straight for the Pokémon Center and successfully checked in.
It was a four-person room; since fewer Trainers traveled to Guchen Town, there were still rooms available.
After checking in, Joy pointed to the computer in the corner.
"Mr. Kebi, the computer over there allows you to check Guchen Town's bounty missions. You can choose the mission you want to accept, then come to me and report the mission number to register."
"Thank you."
Since Joy said so, Kebi felt he should take a look.
You know, the missions in Guchen Town were quite interesting.
Not only were there common missions like assisting new Trainers in catching their first Pokémon, or driving away a group of stray Pokémon that had taken over the market and were disrupting normal business.
There were even missions like helping a farm water plants, cleaning the house, and taking care of the family's Pokémon when the owner was away.
Are these jobs for Trainers?
If you did this before becoming a Trainer, and still do it after becoming a Trainer, then what's the point of being a Trainer?
Scrolling all the way to the end of the mission list, Kebi finally saw an interesting mission.
