Zhuqing Breeding Center.
A small truck drove along the stone path to the entrance, and the rewards for the Youth Breeder Competition had arrived.
"Liquid Alloy Training Device, Pokemon Tool Set, and a Pokémon Egg. Please check them."
Li Wei glanced over, confirmed the Pokémon Egg was intact, and then signed the waybill.
The staff confirmed everything was correct and drove away.
This was an egg whose markings on the outside did not reveal what kind of Pokemon it was.
It had green triangular patterns on a light yellow shell, a very common type of Pokémon Egg.
Even Pokemon of the same species do not have completely identical Pokémon Eggs.
Even Pokemon that look completely different on the outside can look very similar when they are Pokémon Eggs.
To begin breeding Pokemon, Li Wei had read all the papers written by Professor Kong Mu on researching Pokémon Eggs.
Professor Kong Mu once wrote a paper.
His view was that the similarity of Pokémon Eggs allowed them to be hatched by other Pokemon even if they were left outside.
After a Pokemon hatches from an egg, it will trigger maternal instincts and continue to raise the Pokemon.
It is not uncommon for other Pokemon to help hatch eggs, and they will still raise the young even if they discover it's not their own child.
For example, the RowletAsh later caught in the Alola region was hatched by a Toucannon.
Not to mention that Ursaring who loves to act as a mother...
She even raised the Team Rockets trio as her children...
Li Wei couldn't tell what kind of Pokemon this egg was; he only had information from the organizers.
According to Identification, it was likely a rare Pokemon.
As for whether it was or not? It didn't matter.
If it truly was a rare and powerful Pokemon, Li Wei would train him well.
If it was a cute Pokemon like Jigglypuff, Pichu, or Eevee, then raising it as a pet was also fine.
Li Wei looked at the Lucario beside him, "Lucario, this egg is entrusted to you for hatching."
"Luca!"
Then, at night, he would let Arcanine use her body heat to hatch it...
Although Arcanine is active during the day,
she is very well-behaved when she sleeps,
I am truly a genius!
Speaking of moving things...
"Da You, come help lift this!"
Qinglv, who had noticed the truck arriving, came over to join in the fun, "Liquid Alloy Training Device, good stuff."
Li Wei asked in confusion, "Isn't this thing newly developed? You know about it too?"
Qinglv smiled and said, "When it was being developed, Dr. Damu Research Institute participated in the testing, and my Rhyperior was the one testing it at the time."
"I see."
Looking at so many rewards, even Qinglv was a little surprised, "The rewards are so generous..."
Li Wei looked puzzled, "Didn't you say there were many rewards, which is why I went?"
Qinglv pointed to the items being loaded onto a flatbed cart, intending to be pulled into storage, and explained:
"There's too much. In the past, it was just Pokemon training tools, like these, and occasionally Pokemon Eggs.
But something like the Liquid Alloy Training Device would not be given as a reward."
Li Wei pondered, "So you're saying..."
Qinglv nodded, "The extra rewards were very likely given by Mr. Harrod on a whim."
"Of course, we can't completely rule out that this is simply the extent of the current rewards, after all, Mr. Harrod is very rich."
"Aren't you going to Hearthome City to see Mr. Harrod later? You should get your answer then."
Mr. Harrod is a very mysterious person; he rarely accepts interviews and has never appeared at this year's competition.
Whether he can be seen backstage at variety shows or during pre-interviews is also a guess among the audience.
"Let me help."
Qinglv didn't come to Li Wei's house just to eat and drink for free; he would also help out when things were busy.
Li Wei, Da You, and Qinglv together moved all the tools here onto the flatbed cart and pulled them to the Breeding Center's warehouse for storage.
Two trips with the flatbed cart completed the task.
"Li Meijie, I'll leave the inventory and storage to you."
Li Meijie, dressed in a professional suit, smiled confidently,
"No problem."
Li Wei confidently entrusted the storage of the Pokemon tools to Li Meijie.
They also had to take the Liquid Alloy Training Device to the special training room and store it there.
Since Qinglv had participated in the testing of the Liquid Alloy Training Device, Li Wei asked him for instructions on how to use it.
"The Liquid Alloy Training Device is very suitable for Lucario and Metagross's training; you can let them use it more often."
"It can also be used for Dragapult's weighted speed training, but it needs to be tested; too much weight would be a burden."
Dragapult is over three meters long, but its weight is considered light, as half of it is its tail, making it a high-speed assassin.
"I understand."
...
Three days passed in a flash.
Professor Oak and Qinglv also bid farewell.
After saying goodbye to the old man,
Professor Oak smiled at Li Wei, "Come to Dr. Damu Research Institute when you have time; there's a surprise waiting for you."
A surprise?
Li Wei blinked his eyes,
"I understand."
Li Wei clearly hadn't fulfilled Professor Oak's wish; he still hadn't managed to make an A-grade Crispy Apple.
After all, he only had three days, which was too short.
If he had another half a month to practice, fulfilling Professor Oak's wish would not be difficult.
But he didn't expect Professor Oak to still have a surprise for him; this should be Professor Oak's personal surprise.
Pallet Town... Li Wei really wanted to go.
He had never been to Pallet Town.
"Then we'll be going."
Li Wei smiled and said, "Don't rush, I'll see you off at the airport."
Because Professor Oak was present and it was an inter-regional flight, they chose to travel by plane.
Getting into Da You's luxurious SUV, they drove Professor Oak and Qinglv to Zhuqing Airport.
"You don't need to go any further; the Breeding Center is so busy, hurry back and help."
Although Professor Oak said so, Li Wei and Da You couldn't actually do that; they still waited until he was ready to board.
Although Professor Oak was very famous, he didn't like to make a big show of things, not even using the VIP channel.
Professor Oak smiled kindly, "Both of you, come visit Pallet Town often when you have time."
"Yes."
After seeing Professor Oak and Qinglv board their flight, Li Wei and Da You rushed back to the Breeding Center without delay.
The Breeding Center had already put up a banner:
"[Congratulations to my son, Li Wei, for winning the 24th Youth Breeder Competition! 8.8% off storewide!]"
Li Wei and Da You stood at the entrance for a long time.
"..."
Fortunately, Li Wei was quite thick-skinned.
The problem wasn't very big.
In the past few days, due to the presence of Professor Oak and Qinglv, the popularity of the Breeding Center had significantly increased.
And Li Wei's task progress had also changed:
"[Make customers believe that Zhuqing Breeding Center is the best Breeding House/Breeding Center in the world]"
Task Progress: (2 / 10)
This was a quiet change that occurred during the three days Professor Oak was at the Zhuqing Breeding Center.
