The Chapter get Retranslated
"Why does this cat seem so aloof? What kind of Pokémon is this?"
After Jiang Chen caught Meowstic, he happened to run into Ling Wanqiu and Wang Xin. They had already caught a Vulpix, which Wang Xin caught.
Seeing the Meowstic following Jiang Chen, Wang Xin immediately came over.
"This is Meowstic." Ling Wanqiu, however, recognized Meowstic (female). The knowledge she learned in school wasn't for nothing.
Knowing Pokémon is fundamental for a Trainer.
This world hasn't developed a Pokédex, so to recognize Pokémon and understand their data, one must rely on their own knowledge.
"Didn't you catch a Pokémon?"
"I did."
Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Ling Wanqiu released the Pokémon she had caught.
"My luck was good; I met a Horsea by the lake and caught it."
Horsea can evolve into Seadra, and its second-stage evolution is Kingdra. Kingdra is a Water-type and Dragon-type Pokémon. Ling Wanqiu likes Dragon-type Pokémon, which is why she was so happy after catching Horsea.
"To encounter a Horsea, your luck is indeed good."
Horsea is also a relatively rare Pokémon. Although its rarity can't compare to a Quasi-legendary Pokémon, it's not easier to obtain than a Starter Pokémon.
"The Pokémon here are too docile. They are much easier to catch than wild Pokémon."
Wang Xin said as she teased the Vulpix.
"Pokémon raised by humans are naturally different from wild Pokémon."
Wild Pokémon engage in more battles, so their temperaments are naturally fiercer. Pokémon in the Breeding Garden are raised by humans, so they fight less and have docile temperaments.
Coming here, as long as one isn't too useless, they can basically catch a Pokémon.
Each person can catch at most one Pokémon. Now that Jiang Chen and the others had caught theirs, they were naturally idle.
They weren't in a hurry to leave and looked around the Breeding Garden.
"Strange, didn't they say there were Quasi-legendary Pokémon? Why haven't I seen any?"
Wang Xin was a little regretful.
"This place is so big, maybe we were unlucky and didn't encounter any."
Ling Wanqiu wasn't very interested in seeing Quasi-legendary Pokémon. She already had two Quasi-legendary Pokémon in her possession.
Jiang Chen's interest wasn't great either. Only Wang Xin had high expectations of encountering a Quasi-legendary Pokémon, but unfortunately, they didn't encounter one before leaving.
Even if they did encounter a Quasi-legendary Pokémon, it would be impossible to catch it.
"Everyone, a small competition will be held tomorrow at Yulan Shopping Mall 193. The winner will be rewarded with a Piplup. Those interested can sign up to participate." After leaving the Pokémon Breeding Garden, Jiang Chen called out to his classmates.
Yulan Shopping Mall was Jiang Chen's family business, and this competition was organized by the Jiang Group.
"A Piplup as a reward? That's too generous."
"A Starter Pokémon! I must participate."
"Young Master Jiang, are there any conditions or restrictions for registration?"
"I'm signing up. I must win this Piplup."
All the students became excited. A Piplup, if sold on the black market, would cost at least tens of millions of Poké Dollars, and it was hard to find even then.
This was the price of a Starter Pokémon.
So, their excitement was perfectly normal.
"Registration indeed has conditions. Registration starts at 3 PM tomorrow, and only the first one hundred people can participate. Contestants must not be older than sixteen."
"I won't go over the competition rules. You can view them on the Jiang Group's official website, where you can also register."
Jiang Chen explained the registration conditions.
"Young Master Jiang, will you be participating?" someone asked Jiang Chen.
"I will not participate."
If Jiang Chen participated in a competition organized by his family's group and won the championship, even if it was due to Jiang Chen's strength, some people would still claim it was rigged.
So, Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't participate. If Jiang Chen wanted a Starter Pokémon, his family could get him one in minutes, so there was no need for him to participate.
Hearing that Jiang Chen wouldn't participate, they immediately felt more motivated.
If Jiang Chen participated, they wouldn't even dream of winning the championship. Without Jiang Chen, they felt they had a chance to contend for the championship.
After all, there was an age limit: people over sixteen could not register to participate. So there was no fear of some powerful Trainers coming for a dimension-crushing attack, and the championship was definitely within reach.
"Wanqiu, are you participating?"
Wang Xin asked Ling Wanqiu.
"I need to train my Pokémon tomorrow, so I won't participate." Ling Wanqiu shook her head.
"You want to participate?"
Ling Wanqiu saw the eagerness in Wang Xin's eyes; she clearly wanted to participate.
"Yes, I just don't know if I'll be able to register, since there are only a hundred spots."
"If you want to register, I can help you."
Jiang Chen stood nearby and also overheard Ling Wanqiu and Wang Xin's conversation.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Wang Xin's eyes lit up slightly, then she said somewhat awkwardly, "Wouldn't that be bad?"
"As long as you don't go around publicizing it, we're friends, so helping you with this small favor is nothing."
"Then thank you, Young Master Jiang."
Wang Xin no longer stood on ceremony with Jiang Chen.
Since it was Saturday, after catching their Pokémon, they could leave school and go home.
"Young Master, you're back. Did you catch a Pokémon you like?"
Ning Ya asked when she saw Jiang Chen return.
"I caught a Meowstic (female)."
He released Meowstic. Although Meowstic's appearance was quite cute, it was too aloof and disliked being touched.
It was fine if Jiang Chen, its owner, touched it, but if an outsider did, Meowstic would probably get upset.
"Oh, and Young Master, these are made from the Energy Cube recipe you gave me."
Ning Ya took out a box of Energy Cubes.
The High-Grade Energy Cubes made from that recipe used very precious ingredients, but the effects were astonishing.
After eating this High-Grade Energy Cube, their fur became more lustrous, and the Energy Cube was very nutritious and filling.
Many Pokémon wouldn't feel hungry for an entire day after eating one.
Even with high-intensity training, they would only need to eat two or three to replenish a full day's worth of training consumption.
However, the production cost was also very high. This box, containing ten Energy Cubes, cost ten thousand Poké Dollars, with each Energy Cube costing one thousand Poké Dollars.
In contrast, the Energy Cubes currently produced and sold by the Jiang Group had a cost price of around two hundred Poké Dollars.
"Based on my estimation, long-term consumption of these High-Grade Energy Cubes can improve a Pokémon's physique, similar to the effect of nutrient solutions, and perhaps even better."
These were Ning Ya's speculations and had not yet been confirmed.
"What if we sell these Energy Cubes?" Jiang Chen asked Ning Ya.
"I don't know much about business, but the cost is too high, and the selling price would be even higher. Ordinary people probably wouldn't be able to afford them."
Even ordinary Energy Cubes were not something an average family would typically buy, let alone High-Grade Energy Cubes with five times the cost.
"It's fine if ordinary people can't afford them. Energy Cubes are meant to be sold to the middle class or the wealthy anyway."
Jiang Chen planned to show this High-Grade Energy Cube recipe to his mother.
"In the future, feeding Pokémon with these High-Grade Energy Cubes will also reduce your workload, Ning Ya, so you won't be so busy."
There were many Pokémon at home; the number of Pokémon in the back mountain was at least a hundred. Most of those Pokémon were caught by Jiang Yuan.
Feeding those Pokémon usually took a lot of time.
Taking the High-Grade Energy Cube recipe, Jiang Chen went to the Jiang Group and handed the recipe and some of the finished products made by Ning Ya to Xie Yulan.
"If the effect is really that good, this High-Grade Energy Cube could replace nutrient solutions. Although it's a bit expensive, compared to the cost of nutrient solutions, it's actually cheaper."
The nutrient solutions for Pokémon were even more expensive, costing more than the High-Grade Energy Cubes.
"This recipe is very precious. Has it not been leaked to outsiders?"
Xie Yulan asked Jiang Chen.
"No, currently only Ning Ya and I have seen this recipe."
"That's good."
No matter how valuable a recipe was, it would become worthless if leaked.
Jiang Chen was her son, and Ning Ya was regarded by her as a half-daughter. It was fine if only they had seen it; they wouldn't leak it.
"I'll have someone test the nutritional content of the finished product first."
Xie Yulan had her assistant come in, took a High-Grade Energy Cube, and sent it to the Testing Department.
"This High-Grade Energy Cube might elevate our group's assets to a new level. My dear son, where did you get this recipe?" Xie Yulan asked curiously.
Jiang Chen rubbed the bridge of his nose, "That's a secret. Anyway, Mom, just rest assured, no outsider has seen this recipe."
It would definitely be hard to explain. Regarding the System, Jiang Chen didn't want to disclose it to others; he would keep that secret to himself.
For example, his secret of being a Transmigrator, he would keep that secret along with the System.
Hearing Jiang Chen say it was a secret, Xie Yulan didn't press further.
"Oh, right, the competition at Yulan Shopping Mall tomorrow, you've already advertised it at school, haven't you?"
"I've already told my classmates, and it's probably spread throughout the entire school by now."
This competition was mainly to advertise Yulan Shopping Mall.
Don't look at the prize being a Starter Pokémon; in reality, they wouldn't lose money at all. As long as enough people were attracted, they could make back their investment if they bought anything.
This was a common tactic for many shopping malls, but not many offered a Starter Pokémon as a reward.
Not only was there a Piplup as a prize for the champion, but the prizes for the runner-up and third place were also not bad.
The test report for the High-Grade Energy Cubes quickly came out. According to the test, the High-Grade Energy Cubes indeed contained more nutritional content than nutrient solutions.
Ning Ya's conclusion was also correct: long-term consumption of High-Grade Energy Cubes would definitely improve a Pokémon's physical fitness.
"In the future, the group can process and manufacture these High-Grade Energy Cubes."
Xie Yulan put the recipe away. In the future, this recipe would be priceless.
"Oh, right, Mom, you're an Elite Four now, aren't you handling Elite Four duties?" Jiang Chen asked.
"I had your dad handle the Elite Four duties. Anyway, the area he manages is quite stable, so managing another area won't tire him out."
"Besides, I'm only a temporary acting Elite Four. As long as nothing major happens, no one will disturb me."
After wandering around the group for a while, Jiang Chen even personally went to the Research and Development Department and, under someone else's guidance, made a Poké Ball.
"This Luxury Ball I made myself will be Meowstic (female)'s new home."
Jiang Chen released Meowstic and then destroyed the Poké Ball that Meowstic was originally in.
That Poké Ball was garbage, not even as good as the ordinary red and white Poké Balls sold in stores.
The better the Poké Ball, the more comfortable it was inside. After destroying that Poké Ball, Jiang Chen used the Luxury Ball he made today to replace Meowstic's new home.
"It's time to go back."
Jiang Chen had Gardevoir use Teleport to take him home.
Back home, it was still early before dark, so Jiang Chen began to supervise his Pokémon's training.
"A competitive Pokémon is great; it doesn't slack off at all during training."
Jiang Chen glanced at Meowstic. After Jiang Chen set up its training plan, Meowstic didn't slack off at all.
On the other hand, Slakoth made Jiang Chen's liver ache with anger.
"Charmander, you follow behind Slakoth. If Slakoth continues to slack off, don't hold back."
Jiang Chen called Charmander over.
Although he knew Slakoth's laziness was affected by its Ability, he still had to supervise it. Otherwise, if it kept slacking off, Jiang Chen wouldn't know when it would evolve.
Towards Slakoth, Charmander didn't know what 'polite' meant. If it dared to slack off, Charmander would directly spray a burst of fire, making Slakoth yell at Charmander.
"As long as it evolves into Vigoroth, it'll be fine."
After supervising his Pokémon's training for over two hours, Jiang Chen had them come over and distributed two Energy Cubes to them.
These two High-Grade Energy Cubes were basically enough to fill them up.
The next day, Jiang Chen did not go into the wild.
He already had enough Pokémon and hadn't trained them all yet, so he wasn't planning to catch any other Pokémon for the time being.
Even if he were to catch more Pokémon in the future, he would wait until his current ones were fully developed.
"Bulbasaur, continue using Vine Whip to hit this wooden stake. You can rest when you break it."
"Lucario, do weighted running. Eevee, you do the same as Lucario."
Jiang Chen arranged training tasks for all his Pokémon, including Dragonite, which had already reached Elite Four-level, second-stage.
Breaking through to Elite Four-level, second-stage, Dragonite brought Jiang Chen one hundred thousand Points.
Indeed, training Pokémon to break through in strength was the fastest way to gain Points, especially after cultivating a Champion-level Pokémon, which directly yielded a million Points.
Jiang Chen wasn't interested in Champion-level Pokémon for now. His Beedrill currently showed no signs of breaking through in strength.
Moreover, Jiang Chen didn't have anything to help Bug-type and Poison-type Pokémon quickly increase their strength; Beedrill could only rely on its own efforts.
However, he could look forward to his father's Roaring Moon and Flygon, especially Roaring Moon.
Roaring Moon originally had Champion-level potential, and under his father's cultivation, it wasn't far from becoming Champion-level.
With the help of the Dragon Stone Slab to quickly comprehend its Dragon-type Origin, Roaring Moon could probably break through to Champion-level in less than half a month.
Flygon might be slower compared to Roaring Moon.
