At the same time, Father Fang also saw Fang Yuan and Eevee, and asked:
"How was it? Did yesterday's training yield any results? Are you tired?"
"We're fine..."
Fang Yuan replied, then walked to the coffee table and squatted down, his gaze meeting the single eye of the Magnemite...
Magnemite Pokémon only have one eye, located in the center of their spherical body.
"Kuo Ee..."
When it met Fang Yuan's gaze, the Magnemite cried out nervously.
It seemed very shy...
"Don't be nervous, I'm very friendly, don't you think, Eevee?" Fang Yuan smiled at the Magnemite.
"Eevee..."
Eevee was speechless.
However, in front of other Pokémon, it didn't plan to expose Fang Yuan.
"I've already spoken to the leaders, this Magnemite is still nominally under the Power Plant, but now it will be raised by our family," Father Fang said.
"Moreover, I also brought this back from the Power Plant!"
Father Fang walked to the door, picked up the black square device placed there, and said, "This is a Dedicated Charger for Magnemite, which can be connected to the household circuit. It's a must-have for raising Electric-type Pokémon at home."
Fang Yuan nodded.
The Electricity Bill is still very cheap compared to Eevee's food and nutritional products.
One kilowatt-hour costs less than fifty cents and can run an ordinary household refrigerator for 36 hours.
If the Magnemite doesn't discharge frequently, doesn't undergo high-intensity training and battles, and doesn't use moves, only using electricity to maintain its life activities, it won't use much electricity at all, just a fraction of the household Electricity Bill.
Of course, this is just calculated from the perspective of maintaining life activities, and now it can't even fly, so it's no wonder Father Fang said it wouldn't consume much electricity.
"Please give me your guidance." Fang Yuan stretched out his finger, greeting it kindly.
"Eevee!"
Eevee also ran over, jumped onto Fang Yuan, and stretched out its paw.
Having another Pokémon in the house will probably make it more lively...
"Haha, get along well, I'll go cook first," Father Fang said with a smile.
"Okay."
Fang Yuan and Eevee nodded again.
Their hands were still suspended in mid-air, because the Magnemite was still hesitating there, not moving.
"Kuo Ee Ee Ee Ee..."
Before long, Magnemite made a sound.
Its whole body was red, startled by Fang Yuan and Eevee's friendliness.
"Uh... this Magnemite..."
Fang Yuan was confused.
How would he know that this was the first time someone had greeted Magnemite so kindly.
In the Power Plant, its kind were indifferent, and it could only stay in the corner alone.
Even though some veteran employees took good care of it, adults' way of doing things was not like teenagers; they were straightforward and didn't pay much attention to Magnemite's feelings.
So for Magnemite, Fang Yuan was still very special.
Well, Eevee too, except Magnemite had a feeling that Eevee seemed hostile to it...
"Kuoyi..."
After the initial nervousness, Magnemite slowly calmed down, using the two magnets on its body to move slowly, and then touched Fang Yuan's finger with its magnet, finally giving Fang Yuan a response.
So numb...
Fang Yuan was slightly taken aback after feeling the weak current from Magnemite's magnetic poles. The current didn't hurt, just a slight tingle. It seemed that this Magnemite couldn't control its abilities very well yet.
Immediately afterward, Magnemite turned its other magnet towards Eevee...
After the tingling current passed, Eevee suddenly shuddered.
Fur standing on end!
...
Magnemite's arrival didn't bring much change to the family.
But for Fang Yuan personally, he still felt it was a pity.
He finally had the chance to come into contact with a second Pokémon, but this Pokémon was not suitable to capture. Magnemite was a very powerful Pokémon, that's right, but if it couldn't manipulate Thunder Wave, then that was another matter.
"The opportunity to cultivate a second Pokémon has come early, but the timing isn't quite right."
Fang Yuan shook his head.
The situation on Earth is different from the Pokémon World. Most Pokémon migrated from the Secret Realm in the past few decades. Although humans have subsequently bred them, the number of Pokémon is definitely lacking compared to the Pokémon World.
Therefore, on Earth, with limited Pokémon resources, for the sustainable development of the Trainer field, the Pokémon League restricts the number of Pokémon that Trainers in various countries can hold.
Fang Yuan felt that sustainable development was one aspect, but there was another important factor.
The threat of Pokémon is no smaller than that of guns. If the Trainer Associations of various countries allowed private large-scale breeding of Pokémon, it would be basically no different from hoarding arms.
Therefore, there are legal constraints that private individuals cannot breed Pokémon, and only registered Trainer identities can breed Pokémon.
However, even with these constraints, there are still so many lawbreakers who use Pokémon to cause trouble. From this, it can be seen that Trainers and Pokémon are definitely a double-edged sword. If there are no restrictions and everyone can freely breed Pokémon, then society will be in chaos.
Rookie Trainers like Fang Yuan are actually restricted in the number of Pokémon they can hold. Currently, they can only capture one Pokémon. To capture a second or third Pokémon, they need to apply to the local Trainer Association or the public university they attend. Only after passing various assessments will they be eligible.
It's a bit like a Political Review, but at the same time, there is also a review of economic ability and the Rookie's annual performance.
But even so, keeping six Pokémon is the limit for ordinary trainers.
If you want to capture more Pokémon, you can only become a Professional Trainer. Situations like in the anime where you can casually capture dozens of Pokémon do not exist on Earth.
However, when there are policies above, there are countermeasures below. There are still loopholes to exploit in the Trainer-related laws. For example, Father Fang brought back a Magnemite.
This Magnemite is registered under Father Fang's company, so it is considered a Pokémon raised by the company, and Father Fang is an employee of the company, so it is not considered privately raised.
This is a loophole, so you can cultivate Pokémon in advance.
After you are qualified to keep more Pokémon, you can directly capture them, which can save a lot of trouble.
This is why Fang Yuan feels regretful. Now he originally had the opportunity to come into contact with a second Pokémon, but he doesn't have the spare energy to cultivate a second Electric-type Pokémon.
He can't even afford to raise one Eevee right now, so what is he talking about a second Pokémon?
This kind of loophole is for the rich to exploit. Even if the loophole is placed in front of Fang Yuan now, he can't get through it. It has to be said that poverty is the original sin.
In the evening, Mother Fang came back.
The family started to eat dinner. Fang Yuan and Eevee had already eaten outside in the afternoon, so they only ate a little in the evening.
But... food can be skipped, but milk cannot.
Eevee had another big glass of Berry juice Miltank nutritious milk, while Fang Yuan... had a glass of Yili Pure Milk.
"Eevee..."
Eevee, drinking milk, glanced at the Magnemite at the socket, shook its head, drinking milk is the way to enjoy life, lying next to the power supply and eating electricity is too strange.
