Brain storage area, the author's brain has been placed here!
Written in the preface, the pace might be slower in the early stages. After all, it's mainly about daily life and Breeding.
Below is the main text.
......
Alex's Pokémon college entrance examination results were half good, half bad.
So, ten minutes ago, he was in the midst of a major life choice.
Should he become a Breeder, or give up the Nursery left by his parents and become a Trainer?
This was a very serious question.
But now, he was no longer conflicted.
"Ding! Detecting that the host has transmigrated for eighteen years, the anti-addiction system has been lifted, and the Pokémon Pleasure Value System has been activated. As long as you make Pokémon happy, you can receive corresponding rewards!"
"Now rewarding the host with Divine Everstone Power, Divine Breeder Techniques, and master-level techniques for related sub-professions!"
"Additionally, compensating the host with the Eye of Exploration skill and the True New Human Body skill."
"Divine Everstone Power: Possesses the power to sense, heal, and soothe Pokémon's emotions!"
"Divine Breeder: Capable of turning decay into wonder, maximizing the use of the simplest secret ingredients, and producing food with culinary effects."
"Eye of Exploration: Can detect the essence of anything and display it as data in the host's eyes."
"True New Human Body: Greatly enhanced physical fitness, weakens 99.99% of Pokémon skill damage, and will share a portion of its physique with Pokémon with whom a bond is formed."
These were the things that had just happened to Alex.
He had been transmigrated into this parallel Pokémon world for eighteen years.
After eighteen years,
He had originally completely given up on the system.
He never thought that it was just late...
...
Parasol Town, a subordinate town of Parasol City,
This was the small town where Alex lived.
The morning sunlight gently streamed through the window, blending in some fragmented light and shadows.
This was a small house built entirely of wood, and directly above the door hung the stark, large characters "Neighboring Nursery."
Alex still remembered that these words were carved by his father's Scyther using Fury Cutter.
It was just that now they were covered in dust.
Ten years ago, both of his parents went missing while exploring a Pokémon Wilderness Area.
At that time, Alex, who was only eight years old, was notified by the Alliance that his parents were gone.
The Alliance originally planned to send Alex to an orphanage.
But as a transmigrated soul, Alex refused this arrangement and immediately sold the Pokémon eggs in the Nursery at a fair price to the Alliance, obtaining his first sum of money.
He managed to sustain himself until he was eighteen, with a good amount of money left, enough for him to choose his initial Pokémon and take the first step towards becoming a Trainer!
However,
After that, this Nursery no longer had a reason to exist.
But after all, it was the hard work of his parents in this life, and Alex was a bit reluctant to abandon it all at once.
Now that the system had arrived, there was no need for so much deliberation.
He would directly choose to be a Breeder!
"Get rewards by making Pokémon happy?"
Alex was tempted.
This method of obtaining rewards was too suitable for running a Nursery.
Feeling the divine Breeding knowledge and the Eye of Exploration appearing in his mind,
He only felt that he was terrifyingly strong now.
"So, I'll clean up and reopen the Nursery..."
When he said clean up, it was really just tidying up.
"Then, try to make a Pokémon happy?"
Alex stood up and walked out of the room.
What met his eyes was a wide road paved with bluestone, and a short distance further along the road was a stretch of green rice fields.
Beside the rice fields, on a patch of land, an old man was plowing with a Sandshrew, seemingly planting something.
This was Parasol Town, a town close to the city but still living a self-sufficient life!
"Does the True New Human Body also enhance my vision?"
This was hundreds of meters away, but Alex could even see the scales on the Sandshrew's body.
Alex walked towards him, "Are you out working so early, Grandpa Shin?"
The old man, called Grandpa Shin, was wearing a yellowish-white, somewhat tattered vest, and there was still a patch of dirt on his face from his labor.
He wiped it casually, and the area covered by the dirt became larger, leaving a mark on his face.
"Hmm? Little Feng, isn't it the season? I'm preparing to plant some spicy tomato fruit. You know, this guy beside me just loves spicy food!"
The old man gently nudged the Sandshrew beside him with his foot, a kind light flashing in his eyes.
"Squeak, squeak..."
The Sandshrew showed a simple and honest smile.
"Is that so? Haha, Grandpa Shin, I wonder if you could do me a favor?"
"Little Lin, speak your mind."
"Well, I'd like to borrow this child, Sandshrew, to re-plow the land behind my house and clear out the rubble and such."
Since he had decided to inherit the family's Nursery,
He naturally had to develop the farm behind the house to plant some commonly used care berries and plants.
The old man's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, "Child, are you not planning to go to college anymore?"
Alex replied, "I'm not going anymore. Colleges now are just for traveling outside."
"Besides, I still don't have a Pokémon, so it's a bit late to go."
"I'll just be a good Breeder. Coincidentally, the intermediate Breeding certificate I tested for a few days ago just came down!"
"I think it's also very good for Pokémon to have a place where they can relax both body and mind after battles."
Hearing Alex say this,
The old man nodded and smiled, "Every young person has their own way of living."
"Alright, then the Nursery can't just be in Parasol Town. You'll have to find a way to go to Parasol City or even bigger places in the future. When you're young, you should always go to some big places; you can't stay cooped up in small Parasol Town."
"Whenever you need this guy, just come to my house."
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Shin."
He then looked down at the Sandshrew, "I'll trouble you, little one. After you're done, I'll take you to eat spicy berry noodles!"
The Sandshrew's eyes immediately lit up.
It seemed to be asking, "Really?"
(•̀ω•́): "Squeak, squeak?"
"You glutton, come help out."
The old man playfully scolded, then gently nudged the Sandshrew again, taking it to plow the land.
And Alex just smiled, but his smile immediately froze.
"Congratulations to the host for increasing Sandshrew's Pleasure Value from 50% to 60%! Rewarding five bags of gold kela (can increase the growth Speed of ordinary crops tenfold!), one rare candy (can slightly increase a Pokémon's energy strength!), and sand (Ground-type Pokémon can enhance the hardness of their body surface after eating)."
Looking at the Sandshrew's squinted eyes, Alex felt a little stunned.
Was this considered making a Pokémon happy?
And, wasn't this reward a bit too generous?
