In the afternoon, at the Zhuqing Breeding Center.
Accompanied by a gust of wind, a Pidgeot slowly landed.
Pidgeot are large, fly fast,
and Pidgey are common and easy to breed.
They are an invaluable natural choice for express delivery.
Even the Sinnoh region's native bird, Staraptor, cannot compare due to the significant size difference.
This Pidgeot's strength and aptitude were good, yet it was only used by the League internally for deliveries.
However, considering this was a reward issued by the League, personally applied for by Steven for Li Wei, it was understandable that it would be delivered by a dedicated person.
Besides receiving a text message reminder from Steven, the League had also sent Li Wei a message.
"The Sinnoh League extends its highest respect for your extraordinary courage and heroic performance against the Pokémon Hunter."
The respect was secondary; Li Wei was mainly interested in the League rewards Steven had mentioned.
A delivery man, wearing a red and white jacket like a Poké Ball and beaming with a smile, leaped down from the Pidgeot.
"Mr. Li Wei, please sign for your package."
Li Wei signed his name on the delivery slip and took the box handed to him by the delivery man.
The box was not heavy, making Li Wei seriously doubt if there was anything inside.
However, Brock's backpack could hold so much...
Li Wei simply ignored this point.
"Could I trouble you for an autograph?"
Looking at the delivery man's eager eyes, Li Wei nodded, "No problem, what's your name?"
"A-Da!"
Li Wei's account already had over 300,000 followers.
Coupled with winning the Youth Breeder Competition,
and innovating Poffin flavors, setting new historical high scores in the competition, and breaking new records for the popularity award...
Li Wei's popularity had now reached a new level.
Perhaps Li Wei wouldn't be immediately recognized like a Champion when out and about.
But being recognized by fans was already a common occurrence.
Customers at the Breeding Center also frequently asked Li Wei for autographs, so signing was normal for Li Wei.
Li Wei gave him a TO. autograph.
"I wish you a pleasant day."
A-Da excitedly said, "You too!"
Customers who came to the Breeding Center also saw this scene, but they just treated it as a normal delivery and didn't pay much attention.
Li Wei returned to the living room of his home before opening the package; Lucario and the others, curious, followed him in.
What met his eyes was a medal.
"Guardian Medal"
On the back, there was a small line of text: "Awarded to Li Wei for his heroic performance against the Pokémon Hunter."
The rest was the date.
Although this medal wouldn't allow Li Wei to walk around arrogantly,
it did signify that Li Wei was a Trainer recognized by the League, which would help his reputation and standing.
Simply put, if Li Wei had this medal back then, Balu, who was now in prison, would not have dared to provoke Li Wei.
Provoking Li Wei would have been like kicking an iron plate!
Next was a complete set of special Poké Balls: Luxury Ball, Heal Ball, Premier Ball, Cherish Ball...
All were in their shrunken state, quietly embedded in the board.
Aside from the Master Ball, all the more valuable special balls were here; while called rewards, they felt more like commemorative items.
Next were the breeding items.
They felt specifically chosen for Li Wei's Pokemon.
Li Wei even felt that Steven had personally selected them.
A metal coat and a composite metal for Metagross.
Although composite metal is the item for Duraludon to evolve into Archaludon, it is also effective for Metagross's breeding.
The metal energy contained within is consistent.
The metal coat was very small, looking like stacked button batteries.
The composite metal was slightly larger, but not by much.
As long as Metagross swallowed both the metal coat and the composite metal and underwent training, breaking through to the Gym Class would be just around the corner.
Coupled with Li Wei's ability to Mega Evolve with Metagross, it was not impossible for Metagross to surpass its current level and become Master Class.
"Metagross, these are for you."
"Kohkin!"
Metagross used Confusion to maneuver the metal coat and composite metal in front of it.
For Lucario, there were three Fighting Gems and three Steel Gems.
"Lucario!"
Lucario also contentedly accepted the Fighting Gems and Steel Gems.
The energy of the gems was slightly lower than that of the metal coat,
but their greater quantity compensated for this.
Lucario didn't mind the slight difference.
For Arcanine and Milotic, there were energy-rich Fire Stones and Water Stones.
Li Wei noticed that the quality of these two stones was incredibly high, unlike anything Li Wei had ever seen.
In his own warehouse, there were still two Fire Stones in stock, but those two combined couldn't compare to this one Fire Stone.
Arcanine was clearly very satisfied with this Fire Stone as well.
Arcanine, lying on the ground, pressed its large paw on the Fire Stone and licked it with a slurping sound.
(,,•́ ؎ •̀,,)
As for the Water Stone, Li Wei would give it to Milotic later; she would surely love it.
Although Milotic could temporarily leave water, it was still better for her to stay in water.
"Little Shaymin, this is yours."
Li Wei handed the Grassy Seed to Shaymin.
Shaymin could choose to hold it or eat it.
If eaten, it would gradually digest the Grass-type energy within, helping Shaymin grow faster.
Recalling the battle with the Pokémon Hunter,
Shaymin swallowed the Grassy Seed in one gulp.
(￣～￣) Chew!
(I... I need to grow up quickly!)
Only by growing up could Shaymin sow seeds and scatter powder like other adult Shaymin.
And not have to flee like the first time it encountered a Pokémon Hunter, or only provide support the second time...
Shaymin had a premonition that they would encounter Pokémon Hunters again.
Finally, for the two Dragapult, there was the familiar Dragon Scale, and a Dragon Fang.
However, these were not from Rayquaza.
They were merely scales shed by Druddigon, and a Dragon Fang shed by Haxorus.
The mother Dragapult pushed the Dragon Scale and Dragon Fang in front of the two Dragapult.
"Durululu~"
Her actions were very clear.
She wanted to give both to the Dragapult.
Li Wei shook his head, "Let's have one each. These are everyone's rewards, and I can afford a little resources."
After all, Li Wei was now a well-known Breeder, and he could even purchase items at a discounted price from within the League.
Even if both Dragapult were trained together,
he could afford it.
Ultimately, the two Dragapult each got one.
The League rarely directly gave out Pokémon Eggs to Trainers.
Firstly, there was the uncertainty of the egg.
Secondly, it was also uncertain whether the Trainer himself had the intention; it was more practical to just give resources directly.
After looking at this large pile of rewards, and then at Lucario and the others excitedly hugging their respective resources...
Li Wei sent a message to Steven.
"Thank you, the rewards are truly too many. The Water Stone and Fire Stone aren't your personal collection, are they?"
Steven replied very quickly.
"No, but I personally selected them at the League. The abundance is mostly because the previous Hunter D's rewards were also made up for."
