July 1st.
After a busy June, the fervor surrounding Li Wei winning the Youth Breeder Competition finally subsided.
Throughout June, Li Wei was busy, either making Energy Cubes or Poffins.
Fortunately, he had a fruitful harvest.
His Poffin making skill, due to selling Poffins, finally reached Top Class, just like his Energy Cubes.
Poffin (Top Class): Your control over Poffin seasoning and heat is superb, with a 50% chance of making Super Aromatic Pokémon Puff (16,542/1,000,000).
Because of the popularity of Super Aromatic Pokémon Puff, Li Wei's Energy Cubes also sold out completely.
After all, the number of Poffins Li Wei made was limited, and they were snapped up as soon as they were put on the shelves.
Although Li Wei's Poffins were expensive, people could still bite the bullet and buy them, as they weren't for daily consumption.
Energy Cube (Top Class): You have a 66% chance of making perfect quality Energy Cubes; the higher the quality of the berries, the higher the probability (275,614/1,000,000).
Li Wei was very much looking forward to the day his Energy Cube skill would advance from Top Class to Master Class.
After all, besides customers who came to the Breeding Center to buy, Li Wei also had three regular customers.
No, now there are four.
Lance, Cynthia, Steven, and Mr. Harrod.
Li Wei had 4 regular customers who regularly purchased perfect Energy Cubes and Super Aromatic Pokémon Puff from him.
Even their Pokemon maintenance was now done at the Breeding Center, personally by Li Wei.
There weren't many Breeders who dared to take on Pokemon like Garchomp, Metagross, Dragonite, Hydreigon, and Salamence.
But some people did dare.
Da You.
"The claws need to be filed for Salamence."
Li Wei was teaching Da You how to groom Salamence, slowly filing with a grinding tool.
"Remember, go slowly, only file the keratin layer, otherwise Salamence will be in pain."
Da You was large in stature but surprisingly meticulous.
"Awooo—"
Li Wei touched Salamence's cheek and smiled:
"Salamence is very satisfied."
...
During this month, after digesting the reward resources given by the Alliance and training diligently, Lucario and the others had all made significant progress in their strength.
After many battles with Pokémon Hunters,
Lucario and Arcanine, along with the others, increasingly understood the importance of strength.
Even the more playful Arcanine and Dragapult were diligently training.
And Dragapult's mother, whose strength had been stagnant for 20 years, was also training hard.
Metagross advanced to Gym Mid-level, and after Mega Evolution, it could stably reach Master Mid-level.
Lucario's strength also broke through, stabilizing at Master Mid-level.
If he could get a Mega Stone for him, becoming Elite-level for a short period after Mega Evolution should not be a problem.
Li Wei was actually not very concerned about this.
But considering Lucario and their desire to become stronger,
Li Wei planned to go to the Kalos region after the Pokémon Summer Camp to challenge the Battle Chateau,
As long as he could be promoted to Duke of the Battle Chateau, he would get a Mega Stone of his choice.
Steven had already inquired for Li Wei, and there was indeed a Lucarionite there.
Although Steven really wanted to help Li Wei get a Lucarionite when they received the Alliance rewards last time,
Unfortunately, none of the four major Alliances had it,
Not even Steven had it.
There are varying degrees of closeness between Alliances.
Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh are closely linked, with shared resources.
The Alola region, due to Professor Oak's cousin, is gradually becoming closer.
However, the Kalos, Unova, and Galar region Alliances do not have such close ties with the Sinnoh region.
So, to obtain a Lucarionite,
One either relies on drawing it from prize coupons, or goes to dig for it themselves or challenges the Battle Chateau.
Drawing lots was too mystical, and Li Wei didn't have that many Pokémon item prize coupons.
So he still decided to challenge the Battle Chateau.
Going to the Kalos region, he could also see if there was a chance to meet Diancie.
It was difficult for others to encounter Diancie, but not for Li Wei; he had Advanced Scan, which could automatically detect.
After eating Grassy Seed and daily Energy Cubes and Poffins made by Li Wei, Shaymin was also gradually growing.
Shaymin should not be called improving now, but growing.
Because it was not yet an adult.
Judging from the Shaymin tribe Li Wei encountered in Floaroma Town, it was relatively easy for Shaymin to grow to Master Class.
But to improve further, it required resources and time accumulation; that Leader Shaymin was Elite-level, and probably quite old.
Currently, among Li Wei's Pokemon, the weakest in strength was Milotic, who was Professional Mid-level.
After all, Milotic's starting point was relatively low.
When Li Wei took over Feebas, she didn't even have Superior-level strength.
She was purely fed Energy Cubes by Li Wei to grow.
At that time, Milotic's growth was also slower due to psychological issues and only eating without training.
But it's not a big problem; Milotic just needs to be beautiful, and occasionally might serve as Li Wei's water mount.
Overall, according to the current strength of Li Wei's Pokemon, he could consider himself a Master ClassTrainer.
After all, he had three Master ClassPokemon: Lucario, Dragapult, and Mega Metagross.
Among Gym Leaders, Li Wei was already among the forefront.
Adding the Elite Mid-level Arcanine, Li Wei's strength was not to be underestimated.
...
Li Wei's Snowpeak Ranch advertisement had already completed filming half a month ago.
Li Wei's half-body photo had been printed on the gold-quality bags, and outdoor advertisements were also placed, even visible at maglev train stations.
"Born in Harshness, Strong at the Peak"
This was the slogan for Snowpeak Ranch Gold Quality products.
"Only the harsh snowy environment can produce super nutrition" clearly expressed the outstanding qualities of Snowpeak Ranch's Pokemon food.
It also created a price gap...
As the spokesperson for Snowpeak Ranch Gold Quality, Zhuqing Breeding Center naturally also stocked the food they produced.
Li Wei could get the first-hand factory price from Snowpeak Ranch, and just needed to sell at the specialty store price.
Anyway, Snowpeak Ranch's Gold Quality products were not difficult to sell, mostly purchased locally.
The advantage of Zhuqing Breeding Center was that it also had Energy Cubes and Poffins handmade by Breeders.
They could also be custom-made according to the Pokemon's taste; Snowpeak Ranch's Pokemon food was only supplementary.
After customizing Energy Cubes here, they couldn't just eat Energy Cubes, so they would buy some Snowpeak Ranch Gold Quality products as well.
Li Wei's 10th instructional video had also finished filming; it was a Super Aromatic Pokémon Puff tutorial.
Li Wei truly taught everything he knew, holding nothing back; if one truly followed it, they could definitely make it.
But it indeed required a certain talent and foundation.
Even Lalami, who could make Super Aromatic Pokémon Puff,
After watching Li Wei's instructional video,
Could not directly replicate it successfully,
Showing its difficulty.
While Li Wei was practicing his cooking skills,
A call came in,
