Satisfaction +1!
Satisfaction +10!
Satisfaction +5!
...The moment the residents of the territory saw the crop seeds buried in the soil with their own eyes, a brand new sense of hope and anticipation surged from the depths of their hearts.
Draconis also received relevant feedback.
Lord Name: Draconis
Territory: Small (Unnamed)
Subjects (Humans): 78 (Click for details)
Subjects (Pokémon): 7 (Click for details)
Popular Support: 20
Satisfaction: 200
Technology: Gathering, Basic Herbalism
Looking at the constant prompts appearing on the panel, Draconis was quite surprised.
"I've accumulated 200 Satisfaction again so quickly?"
Draconis looked through the records and quickly understood the situation.
Over these past few days, the continuous construction of wooden houses allowed many people in the territory to move into warm and comfortable cabins. Coupled with today's sight of crops being planted, new hope arose in their hearts, thus increasing their Satisfaction with this territory again.
"200 Satisfaction means I can unlock a brand new technology..."
Draconis immediately opened the technology panel to check the currently available technologies.
Gathering (Unlocked) -> Branch 1 Basic Berry Cultivation (Unlockable)
-> Branch 2 Basic Herbalism (Unlocked) -> Advanced Herbalism (Conditions Not Met)
Animal Husbandry (Unlockable) -> Basic Processing (Unlocks some basic agricultural and sideline product processing recipes)
Fishing (Unlockable) -> Basic Shipbuilding (Unlocks some basic ship manufacturing methods)
Mining (Unlockable) -> Basic Ore Theory (Unlocks some ore smelting methods)
It was still the familiar interface. Last time he unlocked Basic Herbalism, and now Advanced Herbalism was also unlockable.
However, Advanced Herbalism required 300 Satisfaction, which temporarily did not meet the unlock condition.
Thus, Draconis's gaze could only turn to the other basic technologies.
Mining... pass. No ore veins have been discovered in the territory yet.
Animal Husbandry was also not a consideration for now, as they had not yet found production Pokémon like Miltank, Wooloo, or Mareep to build a Pokémon ranch.
That left only Fishing and Basic Berry Cultivation.
Currently, the existence of Sitrus Berry has been discovered in the territory.
But the problem was that the season was too cold, which was not conducive to the Growth of Sitrus Berry seedlings. Furthermore, according to Alfred, those farmers had also planted Berry plants before, so even without this technology, the Sitrus Berry could grow successfully.
Solving it now would be a bit of a waste of these 200 Satisfaction points.
What about unlocking Fishing?
Draconis's mind stirred slightly, and detailed information about this technology appeared before his eyes.
Fishing: Unlocks methods for raising Water Pokémon. Exchange required: 200 Satisfaction.
Water Pokémon... Draconis's mind instantly conjured the image of a Pokémon discovered in that great river during his recent Fishing trips.
—Magikarp.
Magikarp, a Water-type Pokémon, possesses extremely tenacious vitality. It can grow healthily even in polluted water, primarily feeding on sludge, aquatic plants, and microorganisms in the water.
Magikarp's reproductive capacity is astonishing, and they can be seen in waters all over the world, whether in the sea, rivers, ponds, or even puddles.
Moreover, this Pokémon is famously weak. Their swimming strength is too poor; they cannot swim upstream even in slow-flowing rivers and can only be carried away by the current.
It is said that if you look at a roadside puddle on a rainy day, you can find it filled with washed-away Magikarp.
Although there are rumors that ancient Magikarp were extremely powerful, that era is probably not now, as the Magikarp Draconis saw were no different from those in the anime.
Frail body, dull intellect, almost no strength or speed, only knows the move Splash, jumping and jumping with nothing ever happening.
Because of this, Magikarp is also known as the weakest and most pathetic Pokémon in the world, and along with Feebas, they are called the twin "heroes" among fish.
Although these two Pokémon are very weak, when they grow up, they undergo earth-shattering changes.
Gyarados—ferocious in temperament and formidable in strength. Ancient texts in the Pokémon world record it spewing scorching rays, burning down entire villages embroiled in conflict. In some regions, people even call it the "God of Destruction."
However, as a Transmigrator, Draconis knew very well that Pokémon like Gyarados were not uncontrollable.
They, like humans and other Pokémon, possess emotions and intelligence. When they have a deep bond with their Trainer, they will actively protect their Trainer.
If they were to raise Magikarp before they evolve, providing food like Berries and aquatic plants, and cultivating a bond with them...
Then, after Magikarp evolve into Gyarados, could they become guardians of the territory, protecting this land and everyone living here for them?
The answer was obvious; it was feasible.
The more Draconis thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Moreover, raising Magikarp would not consume too many resources.
Berries grow in the forest.
Sludge and aquatic plants are naturally present in rivers and ponds.
Thinking of this, Draconis unhesitatingly redeemed Fishing.
As the technology unlocked, a flood of information appeared in his mind the next second.
Magikarp, Feebas, Starmie, Psyduck, Poliwag, Slowpoke, Krabby... Lugia, Kyogre, and other Water Pokémon breeding methods have been unlocked!
In just an instant, the living habits and preferences of these Pokémon all appeared in Draconis's mind.
However, looking at the last two names, a big question mark couldn't help but pop up above Draconis's head.
???
Can Lugia and Kyogre really be raised by humans?
Lugia: A Pokémon that slumbers at the bottom of very deep ocean trenches, known as the Sea God. Due to its excessively powerful abilities, it can only quietly pass its time at the bottom of the deep sea. It enjoys swimming around in the deep sea. Breeding difficulty: Hell.
Kyogre: The embodiment of the ocean, possessing the power to control water. It has the power to submerge the entire world in heavy rain. It likes natural energy, preferably as much as possible. It also enjoys expanding the ocean and seeing its rival Groudon suffer. Its goal is to defeat Groudon, seize its land, and turn it into ocean. Breeding difficulty: Hell.
Draconis: "..."
His cheat must be sick.
It's better to focus on what's in front of him.
Draconis searched again among the Water Pokémon and found Magikarp's entry.
Magikarp: A commonly seen fish Pokémon. Weak in strength, simple in character. It likes to stay still in the water, spacing out. Its favorite foods are algae and microorganisms in the water (only before it has eaten human-made Pokémon food like Energy Cubes and Poké Puffs). Very easy to raise. Breeding difficulty: Novice.
That's more like it! Draconis slowly exhaled in relief.
