"These are all nutrient drinks," Zhuang Xin said.
"Nutrient drinks?!"
Fang Yuan was pleasantly surprised, "Is this entire box full of them?"
Nutrient drinks were the nutritional supplements he often bought for Eevee.
Produced by Dawn Group, although expensive, they greatly benefited Pokémon by improving some of their basic qualities, doubling the efficiency of training.
Even without training, Pokémon wouldn's have poor physical fitness if they drank these supplements long-term.
This complete box was worth a year's salary for Father Fang and Mother Fang before their promotion.
"Yes, this is a reward for your outstanding performance in training."
"If nothing goes wrong, there will be similar training rewards in the future, so you should try your best to get them."
Zhuang Xin's words were very clear.
Fang Yuan's situation was different from Lin Jing and Liu Le. The other two might not have to worry about nutrient products, but Fang Yuan definitely needed them.
Zhuang Xin said these nutrient products were rewards for those who performed well in practical training, but in reality, they were a disguised form of subsidy for Fang Yuan.
The New Star Plan gave Fang Yuan an efficient opportunity to obtain resources.
Then Fang Yuan would use these resources to grow, and then obtain more resources. This was how the Peaceful City Trainer Association supported him and Eevee.
It was conceivable that as long as Fang Yuan consistently outperformed Lin Jing and Liu Le in normal training, the supply of these resources would not be lacking. This would prevent Fang Yuan from getting something for nothing, and it would also be a spur to him, keeping him alert at all times and not complacent.
And for Lin Jing and Liu Le, this might not be a form of motivation.
...
With this box of nutrient drinks in hand, plus what Fang Yuan had bought before, he shouldn't have to worry about Eevee's nutritional supplements for the next two months.
Of course, there were more expensive nutrient products, but for Pokémon in the rookie stage, these nutrient products for improving basic qualities were enough.
After eating out, Fang Yuan and Eevee returned home. They first took a hot shower, and then each got busy.
Eevee was recalling the Payback that Lopunny had taught it, while Fang Yuan was recalling information about Payback and friendship...
"Payback is closely related to the amount of friendship."
"However, the ways to improve the relationship with Pokémon don't have to be limited to those in the game, but, thinking carefully, there is actually one that can be used as a reference..."
Massage!
Giving Pokémon a massage is also an important way to improve the relationship between the Trainer and the Pokémon!
This was certainly not a simple massage, there was a lot of knowledge involved.
Massage techniques would vary depending on the Pokémon. Whether in games or in animations, massage was a skill that Pokémon Breeders must master.
Even in the game, there would be professional masseurs who would massage the game character's Pokémon, which could increase the friendship between the Trainer and the Pokémon.
"Why think so much, let alone whether I know how to massage... even if I do, it's not necessarily more effective than watching dramas with Eevee and playing a couple of games to make it happy."
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and saw through Eevee.
However, he did take note of the Massage skill.
The so-called Massage involves using hands to push, press, pinch, and rub certain parts of a Pokémon's body to promote energy circulation, increase physical resistance, and adjust nerve function. These are all benefits of Pokémon Massage.
Since it could benefit Eevee, Fang Yuan didn't mind learning it.
"Once I get back to school, I'll ask Teacher Li about it. If I can learn two techniques from him, I can Massage Eevee myself..."
Fang Yuan stared at Eevee...
Since there's cat petting, then Eevee petting also seems feasible.
"Huh?"
Fang Yuan, who was watching Eevee, suddenly noticed something unusual.
Eevee, who was recalling the Payback skill, seemed to have changed! Eevee slowly opened its eyes. Just now, it felt the emotional energy that Lopunny had mentioned.
Although it was still very vague and couldn't be utilized, this time, it truly felt that energy.
In just half a day, this change was definitely not due to Eevee's own talent.
"Eevee..."
"What's wrong, Eevee?"
Eevee looked blank, then looked at the Soothing Bell thrown on the bed.
It was when it heard the sound of the Soothing Bell that it felt that emotional energy.
Fang Yuan also suddenly realized something. The sound of the Soothing Bell has the effect of calming and soothing Pokémon. In this state, could Pokémon more easily feel emotional energy? "There is indeed this possibility. The Soothing Bell is originally an item related to friendship. With its help, maybe Eevee can more easily grasp Payback!"
Discovering this, Fang Yuan felt much better. Doesn't this mean that Eevee is not far from learning Payback?
Before long, Fang Yuan took out his Phone and started searching.
The Payback move, because only the Buneary family can learn it through Growth, and the effect is not obvious, it is easily mistaken for an enhanced version of Pound, so it has not been discovered and summarized. That is to say, Fang Yuan may currently be one of the few people who know about the Payback move! This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
Without reference, he and Eevee can only explore on their own.
"It seems that Eevee must wear the Soothing Bell at all times. This item is more important than I thought."
After investigating for a while, Fang Yuan suddenly felt a little tired.
He rubbed his forehead with a headache, then sighed.
Because he didn't sleep well last night and had a lot of exercise, Fang Yuan felt very tired now, and drowsiness swept over his consciousness.
"Rest for a while..."
Fang Yuan lay down, and soon he fell asleep.
The faint sound of breathing came, causing Eevee on the side to be stunned for a moment.
"Eevee..."
Eevee shook its head helplessly, picked up the quilt next to it and covered Fang Yuan, then continued to ponder the Payback move.
...
When Fang Yuan woke up, less than an hour had passed. With a bang as the door was slammed open, he suddenly sat up.
"I fell asleep..."
Fang Yuan picked up his phone and glanced at the time. It should be Father Fang and Mother Fang returning from work, but it seemed they were a bit late today...
He quickly put on his slippers and opened the bedroom door. There was only one person in the living room. It seemed only Father Fang had returned.
No, that's not right... it wasn't just him.
Fang Yuan was surprised to find that Father Fang was also holding a Poké Ball in his hand. Besides that, on the coffee table, there was a gray Pokémon curiously looking around.
Magnemite! After making the decision, Father Fang had brought the Magnemite home in just two days.
At this moment, Eevee also ran out of the bedroom. After seeing the weak, pitiful, helpless, and flightless Magnemite from the Power Plant for the second time, it was slightly stunned.
Eevee had a premonition that this Magnemite would become its greatest enemy...
