The first clear reward was a selectable potential enhancer, which could increase the potential of one of a Pokémon's abilities. This potion was made from rare berries and was quite expensive.
After Ye Chuan chose an Attack Enhancer, the machine made a sound similar to a vending machine. A small bottle of potion appeared in the dispensing slot below. Ye Chuan picked it up, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to the Charmander beside him.
"Char." Charmander took it and drank it directly, seeming to find the taste acceptable.
At this moment, a faint light flowed through Charmander's body, and then it let out a satisfied burp, followed by a puff of flames.
Ye Chuan looked closely at Charmander but didn't see any obvious changes. After all, it was a potential-enhancing potion, and the specific effects would only be known later.
As for the record-breaking reward—
Among the dazzling array of prizes, Ye Chuan's eyes immediately locked onto a skill reward.
"Dragon Claw"
A Dragon-type physical attack skill!
After pressing the exchange button, the skill disc was ejected by the machine and fell into Ye Chuan's hand.
"It's a pity Charmander can't learn Ice Punch," Ye Chuan said, but he still happily pocketed the Dragon Claw skill disc. After all, as a descendant of Dragon-type Pokémon, it wouldn't make sense for Charmander not to learn a Dragon-type attack skill.
Most importantly, this skill had decent power and looked very cool when used.
Being strong is only a temporary matter, but being cool is for life.
After training in Free Mode for a while, the phone in his pocket rang. Ye Chuan took it out and saw it was a message from An Shiyu.
Shiyu: Ah Ye, are you done yet?
Seeing this message, Ye Chuan finally realized that he was supposed to accompany her to check on Rowlet's physical condition today.
"I wonder why Rowlet got so fat," Ye Chuan said. The Charmander beside him suddenly made a "char" sound and looked away.
"Hmm?" Noticing Charmander's reaction, Ye Chuan asked curiously,
"Charmander, do you know something?"
Charmander immediately shook its head, looking like it knew nothing.
"Is that so?" Although Ye Chuan felt that Charmander was hiding something from him, he didn't suspect anything.
After tidying up a bit and leaving the virtual training room, Ye Chuan arrived at the school gate to meet An Shiyu.
"Let's go." Seeing Ye Chuan come out, An Shiyu said with a smile.
"To the nearest Pokémon Center?"
"Yeah."
After getting on the tram, Ye Chuan saw An Shiyu beside him wearing headphones, her body swaying slightly to the rhythm, while holding the round Rowlet in her arms.
"What are you listening to?" Ye Chuan took off one of An Shiyu's headphones.
"Eh, wait!" An Shiyu immediately tried to stop Ye Chuan, but it was obviously too late because he had already put the headphone on—
[How should I express my feelings for you? Don't always be so distant and then so close, it makes me anxious...]
A string of bell-like vocals entered Ye Chuan's ears from the headphones.
Ye Chuan listened for a while and noticed that An Shiyu's cheeks were flushed. She looked down at her canvas shoes, her fingers pinching the hem of her skirt.
"Shiyu has reached this age too," Ye Chuan said, putting the headphone back on her ear and then letting out a sigh.
"Don't say that in such an old-fatherly tone!" An Shiyu said loudly, her face red.
"Shh." Ye Chuan pressed a finger to An Shiyu's lips and said with a smile,
"We're on the tram. Let's talk about anything when we get home."
An Shiyu subconsciously looked around and found that everyone on the tram was looking over. After all, the tram was so quiet, and An Shiyu's sudden shout was bound to attract attention.
"You did that on purpose, didn't you?" An Shiyu mumbled softly, puffing out her cheeks.
"Maybe?" Ye Chuan said with a smile.
Of course, this earned him a weak, pink-fisted attack from An Shiyu.
The tram quickly arrived at the Pokémon Center station. After getting off, they went directly into the Pokémon Center and found the medical staff. After registering and waiting for about twenty minutes, it was their turn.
In the medical room, an old man in a white coat glanced at the Rowlet in An Shiyu's arms and then asked, "What seems to be the problem with your Pokémon?"
After An Shiyu explained the general situation, the medical staff beside them took Rowlet away for examination.
During the spare time, the doctor chatted with An Shiyu, "Young lady, are you a Pokémon Breeder?"
"No, but I've been planning to take the Pokémon Breeder exam recently," An Shiyu said, waving her hand.
Pokémon Breeders focus their research and study on breeding and Pokémon health. Customizing special food for each Pokémon is a very common practice for them. For example, Pokémon Doctors, Pokémon Coordinators, and Pokémon Researchers are basically all derivatives of this profession.
The duels between Pokémon Breeders are also different from those between trainers, where they fight upon making eye contact. Breeders compare the health status of their Pokémon, such as the softness and smoothness of their fur. If they are Coordinators, they will study the combination of skills to create more dazzling performance effects.
"From what you just said, I can tell that you have a very good knowledge base in this area. You will be a great Pokémon Breeder in the future," the doctor said with a smile.
"Thank you."
At this time, the medical staff returned with Rowlet.
"Let me see the examination report." The doctor took a form and looked at it. After a few seconds, a strange expression appeared on his face.
"According to the examination, Rowlet's physical condition is perfectly normal. It's just a bit overnourished, probably ate too much."
Ate too much?
In an instant, Ye Chuan and An Shiyu's gazes fell on Rowlet.
"Hoo!"
The next second, Rowlet was caught by An Shiyu.
"Speak, what's going on?" An Shiyu scrutinized Rowlet with her eyes.
Rowlet was pressed on the table and made a "hoo" sound.
Finally, life still made a move on this adorable Rowlet of mine.
"Seriously, if you keep eating like this, you might have trouble evolving," An Shiyu said, releasing her hand and looking at Rowlet with a hint of anger.
Rowlet turned its head one hundred and eighty degrees, not daring to look at its owner's eyes.
Since the reason was clear that Rowlet had been secretly eating things from somewhere, Ye Chuan and An Shiyu were relieved and planned to leave. However, before leaving, Ye Chuan noticed several medical carts passing by in the distance.
"Emergency, two Pokémon here have suffered extreme fright and are now unconscious!"
"Push them to Emergency Room 2, we'll arrange personnel immediately."
"Okay!"
Suffered extreme fright?
Ye Chuan didn't know why he suddenly thought of that Gastly, but upon closer thought, its scary tricks weren't that terrifying, and it didn't have any ability to frighten Pokémon to the point of unconsciousness.
