Ash didn't believe that Suzie's skills could compare to the Breeders in the group.
Very soon, Ash and the others arrived at Suzie's shop. Her shop was unlike the bustling shops on Beauty Street; it looked just like an ordinary, no-frills little store,
small in size, with ordinary decor, and even the signboard only hung with the words 'Suzie Breeding House'—it all seemed mundane.
"Is the decor of this top Breeder really so plain?" Misty couldn't help but remark.
"You don't understand; real experts are like this. Let's go in." Brock straightened his clothes and then solemnly pushed open the door of Suzie Breeding House.
Once inside, the décor was just as sparse and ordinary, with no high-end tools whatsoever, just two beds and some common massage tools and potions.
"Hello, is this where Breeder Suzie works?"
"Welcome! Sorry, I was just grooming Vulpix. I'm Suzie. How can I help you?" A soft voice came from behind the curtain inside the room.
A mature and beautiful woman came running out from behind the curtain.
The woman was dressed in simple care clothes, with long, emerald green hair cascading behind her. Her delicate face was like an intricately crafted piece of art, her skin as white as snow with a faint blush, and her eyes clear like a lake.
Both Ash and Misty were slightly taken aback by Suzie's appearance. Among the people they knew, probably only Sabrina could compare.
Moreover, she exuded a gentle aura and carried a warm, comforting smile on her face. Regardless of her breeding skills, with such looks, she should be among the top in the Breeder circle.
In addition, she was also a League-officially certified professional Breeder, which made her all the more popular.
Upon seeing Suzie, Brock straightened himself up immediately. He bowed at a ninety-degree angle and said loudly, "Hel...hello! I'm Brock, aiming to become the strongest Pokemon Breeder. I've long heard of Miss Suzie's name, and now I finally get to meet you in person! It's because of you, Miss Suzie, that I decided to pursue the path of a Pokemon Breeder!"
Suzie was taken aback by Brock's exaggerated greeting, taking two steps back, but after hearing that she inspired him to pursue the path of a Breeder, her smile grew even softer.
"Thank you. You're Brock, right? It's my honor to serve as your benchmark and guide you onto the path of a Breeder."
"Not at all, not at all, you're too kind, Miss Suzie. You possess many qualities I wish to learn from. I even want to stay here as your apprentice!"
Upon hearing this, Suzie repeatedly waved her hand, saying she wasn't worthy. Meanwhile, Ash had already approached the care bed at the back, where Vulpix lay wearing a slightly displeased expression.
It seemed Suzie had been in the middle of grooming and massaging Vulpix when she rushed out to meet customers.
Vulpix glanced at Ash as he approached, tilting its little head and giving a soft chirp.
Hearing this, Ash grinned, "Do I have a scent you like? You're quite the talker, aren't you? Let me finish the massage for you."
With that, Ash gently placed his hand on Vulpix's body…
