Two female high school students suddenly came to Su Yu's breeding house, which surprised him a little. He looked at them with some confusion. Were they passing Trainers, or just visitors?
"Um, hello," one of them said somewhat nervously."We're here for a summer camp. While walking around, we saw this breeding house and decided to come over. Excuse me… do you sell energy cubes here? We want some power cubes."
After hearing their explanation, Su Yu immediately understood what was going on. He shook his head slightly and explained calmly, "If you want regular energy cubes, you need to go to the orphanage nearby. That's where they're sold. Didn't you see the signboard over there?"
The two girls froze for a moment."The orphanage?""You mean the one not far away?""But… isn't this a breeding house?"
They had indeed noticed the orphanage earlier, but they hadn't paid much attention to it. Instead, their eyes had been drawn to the breeding house, assuming energy cubes would naturally be sold here. Hearing this, Su Yu felt a bit helpless.
"I only sell customized energy cubes here, and I also offer Pokémon hosting services," Su Yu explained patiently. "If you want standard energy cubes, you have to go to the orphanage. The shop there is already open, and several aunties are running it. The energy cubes sold there are all from Morning Sun."
Only then did the two girls fully understand their misunderstanding."I see… alright."
After a brief pause, one of them hesitated before speaking again. "But… customized energy cubes…""My name is Su Yu," he interrupted with a smile. "Just call me by my name."
The girl nodded immediately. "Okay, Boss Su Yu. Can I ask a bit more about your business here? We've already obtained our Trainer certificates and have our own starter Pokémon. I heard that the customized energy cubes here are better than the ones outside, so I wanted to learn more."
Hearing this, Su Yu instantly realized that business was coming. Without hesitation, he warmly invited them in. "Come, please sit down." He guided them to the nearby sofa and poured two glasses of water.
Gallade, standing quietly to the side, observed everything and silently memorized the process.
After they sat down, Su Yu explained, "My breeding house has just opened, so there are only two main services at the moment. One is Pokémon hosting—taking care of Pokémon or training them to a certain level. The other is customized energy cubes, meaning energy cubes tailored specifically to your Pokémon."
He didn't mention selling Pokémon eggs, as that wasn't available yet.
The two girls nodded as they listened carefully, then began asking more detailed questions, including prices.
"If I customize an energy cube, how much would it cost?" one of them asked. "I just need an intermediate one—not a universal type."
Su Yu asked calmly, "What Pokémon is it for? The price depends on the Pokémon. Some are big eaters, so they need more energy cubes."
"This one's Eevee," the girl replied."Mine is Snivy," the other added.
Su Yu quickly assessed the situation. One starter Pokémon and one Eevee—clearly not ordinary choices. Either their families were well-off, or they had Trainers at home.
"For Eevee," Su Yu said, "it depends on which evolution you're aiming for. Eevee has many evolution paths, and each requires a different formula. The prices are similar, but the recipe changes. What do you plan to evolve it into?"
The girl with Eevee immediately brightened. Other breeding houses had never explained things this carefully—they usually just recommended products. Su Yu, however, was already thinking ahead about Eevee's future evolution.
"Sylveon," she said without hesitation. "My Eevee will evolve into Sylveon. How much would that cost?"
Su Yu calculated briefly. "Thirty days per month, three meals a day. Sylveon's customized intermediate energy cubes would cost 150,000 yuan per month—about 5,000 per day. Does that work for you?"
Although it was more expensive than standard market prices, this was fully customized. The girl didn't hesitate at all."Boss, please make it for me."
Su Yu nodded and turned to the other girl. "As for your Snivy, grass-type exclusive energy cubes are enough. I can customize them here as well. They're stronger than what's sold on the market, and the price is similar. Since Snivy will always remain a pure grass-type, it's fairly straightforward."
He paused, then added, "Of course, I can also make more advanced versions, but those would cost more."
After saying that, Su Yu suddenly remembered something and stood up. "Wait a minute."
He went upstairs and returned shortly after, placing several certificates on the table. "These are my breeder certificate and some of my energy cube patents. I haven't registered all of them yet, but this should be enough to prove that what I said is true."
The two girls were stunned as they examined the documents. At such a young age, Su Yu already owned a breeding house, multiple patents, and was a high-level breeder. It was honestly shocking.
Without further hesitation, both of them agreed to place orders.
Contracts were signed, deposits were paid, and Su Yu immediately arranged the production. Later that afternoon, he guided his staff through the process, personally teaching them the recipes while handling the key steps himself.
By sunset, both customized energy cubes were completed and packed.
That evening, just as Su Yu was about to finish work, Bu Ni arrived to collect her order. Her appearance led to a brief exchange, but before leaving, she suddenly made an unexpected request.
"Do you want to fight me?" she asked directly.
Su Yu refused at first—until she mentioned the payment.
"Two million per battle."
After a moment of silence, Su Yu sighed. "…Fine."
As Bu Ni left to prepare for the next day, Su Yu turned to Gallade. "Get a good rest tonight. There's a battle tomorrow. This might be your chance to break through."
Gallade's fighting spirit immediately ignited.
The next morning, after the two girls returned to pick up their energy cubes and spread the news, a crowd of students gathered outside the breeding house. By the time Su Yu finished breakfast and returned, spectators were already waiting.
When Gallade appeared via Teleport at Su Yu's call, the entire crowd fell silent. Even the accompanying Teacher felt immense pressure just standing there.
This Gallade… was incredibly strong.
And the battle was about to begin.
