Chapter 213: The Outstanding Bulbasaur_1
Magic Big Breeding House is divided into several areas, each with different environments.
There are mountains and water, and the entrance is a small path, flanked by rare secret location flowers, emitting a faint refreshing fragrance.
The breeding area is separated from the entrance by a white hall. Upon entering the hall, a tidy woman wearing a hat and work clothes welcomed Fang Yuan and his group.
"Welcome, greetings to you all."
"Hey," Xu Changliang extended his hand as he saw the girl and greeted with a smile, "Sister Su."
Su Xue, a senior in the Cultivation Series, was currently at the internship stage.
"Oh, it's you..." Su Xue recognized Xu Changliang, but they were not familiar with each other, having only met a few times.
"Do you have a reservation?"
"Yes, yes." Xu Changliang grinned, relaying the information to her.
After confirming, Su Xue nodded, "Please wait, I can't handle this, I need to report it."
Xu Changliang brought Fang Yuan, not for placing any services or the like, but with Magic Big's documents to pick up Pokemon.
The Pokemon, all painstakingly hatched by different professional Breeders, and to claim them, Su Xue, the intern, was not able to handle it. A higher-level supervisor was required to process the paperwork.
After a short while, an old caretaker with grayed hair came from backstage. She was one of the persons in charge here, a professional Breeder. From Su Xue's address, it was known that her surname was "Sun."
"Granny Sun, I am Xu Changliang, the president of the Battle Society. I've brought the new members to collect the Pokemon. There should be a few more people coming later, thank you for your trouble," Xu Changliang approached to greet her. Since this was not his first interaction with Granny Sun, he knew her temperament and got straight to the point with the reason for their visit.
"I'm already aware," Granny Sun may look older, but she was quite spirited. She turned to Fang Yuan, nodded, and said, "Follow me, please."
Fang Yuan said, "Thank you for your trouble."
"What about me??" Xu Changliang asked.
"You? You're not the one choosing, what would you do inside? Just wait here," Granny Sun glanced at him.
Xu Changliang felt uncomfortable. True, he didn't get to choose, but going in to offer some advice to Fang Yuan would've been good.
After all... Fang Yuan was the newcomer in his Battle Society.
Never mind...
Not going in meant not going in. Xu Changliang looked towards the front desk at Sister Su, leaning in to engage in a conversation about life.
...
Fang Yuan followed behind Granny Sun, recalling his first visit to the breeding house to select Pokemon.
Oh, the nostalgia...
"You should be aware of the categories, right? Are you planning to see them all, or do you want to choose directly?"
"I'd like to compare a bit more," Fang Yuan replied.
"Then let's start with the Grass-type," Granny Sun nodded.
"Okay," Fang Yuan anticipated.
When he had first arrived in this world, he had conceived a breeding plan for Grass-type Pokemon, revolving around the move Energy Ball. The most suitable candidate among the three great families for this breeding plan was Bulbasaur.
As for the two types of Energy Blocks, they were also usable on Bulbasaur.
The purplish-red Energy Blocks enhanced physical strength.
The power of physical attack moves depended on physical strength and Attribute Energy, with physical strength having a greater influence. The main role of Attribute Energy was to enhance and protect the body.
The light blue Energy Blocks enhanced mental power.
Conversely, the power of special attack moves depended on mental power and Attribute Energy, but here Attribute Energy played a larger role, with mental power mainly manifesting in the control of Attribute Energy. Eevee could effortlessly control various types of energy precisely because of its powerful mental strength.
And moves like those from the Psychic Type were even closer to the direct application of mental power!
The final evolutionary form of Bulbasaur, Venusaur, was a typical dual-wield Pokemon, with powerful moves like Vine Whip and Razor Leaf, and was capable of mastering energy moves like Solar Flame and Energy Ball. Though not the optimal choice, it was one of Fang Yuan's two candidates, considering the breeding plan he already had.
"Grass types, huh..." As they walked, Granny Sun reminisced.
"Among those Bulbasaurs, Chikoritas, Wood Guardians, and Grass Sprout Turtles, there are six with decent potential and talent you can choose from. I'll take you to see them now."
In the breeding house, there were Pokemon with good potential and talent, and naturally, there were also more common ones. Excellent newcomers like Fang Yuan could directly choose those high-quality Pokemon hatched by breeders. With good Pokemon talent, they'd save a lot of resources and effort in future breeding.
After navigating through one or two corridors, Granny Sun led Fang Yuan to a place resembling a botanical garden.
Amidst the dense trees and drooping branches, several Wood Guardians were dozing off while clutching the branches, others were climbing trees. In the center, there was a grassy area where the grass was lush and green, and Pokemon like Bulbasaurs, Chikoritas, and Grass Sprout Turtles were chasing and frolicking with each other.
Within this area, several staff members were also present, watering plants, trimming trees, and taking care of the Pokemon.
...
Granny Sun pointed to a Wood Guardian lying on a stump and said, "That one can play the Grass Flute, inheriting the Grass Flute move. It's also the fastest among these Wood Guardians, having mastered Quick Attack and High-speed Movement within one month of birth."
"The Grass Flute, huh..." Fang Yuan thought to himself. The Grass Flute was a Hypnosis-type move, which didn't quite match the Wood Guardian, but its speed talent was indeed dazzling.
"That Grass Sprout Turtle learned Earth Power soon after birth, showing exceptional Ground-type talent."
"That Chikorita has Psychic Type talent and inherited the Healing Fluctuation move."
"Psychic Type talent?" Fang Yuan was immediately intrigued, and it also knew Healing Fluctuation... His team indeed lacked a healer. No... hold on, let's keep looking.
Finally, Granny Sun introduced the Bulbasaur that Fang Yuan was interested in.
It was an unfortunate one being bullied by the other Bulbasaurs.
"This Bulbasaur naturally contains paralytic toxins within its body, showing outstanding Poison-type talent. It naturally forms a kind of Toxic, which makes it very suitable for learning Toxic moves; however, its personality is somewhat timid and cowardly," Granny Sun explained. "And that one on its back..."
"Has an affinity with nature, born with the Power of Nature move. Once it evolves into Venusaur, it would be expert at controlling plants."
Following this, Granny Sun introduced another Chikorita with a special talent, making Fang Yuan's mouth water.
If conditions allowed, he really wanted to say, "I want all six!"
"So, do any of them catch your fancy?" Granny Sun asked routinely, not offering any additional suggestions, just informing Fang Yuan which six Pokemon had the best talents.
"Hmm..." Fang Yuan's gaze fell on the Psychic Chikorita and the Bulbasaur that knew Power of Nature.
One knew recovery moves and had Psychic Type talent, the other knew Power of Nature... Fang Yuan had a profound memory of the Venusaur in the animation that could make plants bloom at will. Could this Bulbasaur achieve that, or even surpass it, in the future?
