I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

Most of the people working at the base are breeders who have passed the official examination of the Trainers Association and are proficient in all kinds of knowledge about Pokémon. Therefore, the Pokémon eggs and Pokémon in the breeding base are guaranteed to be healthy and their aptitude is generally not too bad. Of course, the price will naturally be a little higher.

However, for students, the cost of obtaining the Pokémon is already included in the tuition fee, so there is no need to pay extra. As for the tuition fee... well, it's just that most people can't afford it.

So in fact, the students of No. 1 and No. 2 Middle Schools are not only from wealthy families, but there are rich kids everywhere.

On the way to the base, parents were constantly bringing their students there, while others were bringing their students back with Pokémon eggs in their arms.

Liu Ye's trip with a large group of students is truly unique.

The person in charge of reception had already been notified and was waiting at the entrance.

"You must be Teacher Liu. My name is Zhou Liang, and I'm in charge of receiving you this time." Zhou Liang came up and shook hands with Liu Ye.

"Then I'll have to trouble you. There are 29 students who want to receive a sprite this time."

"29?" Zhou Liang was taken aback, flipping through the notebook in his hand. "I remember that when we reported it before, there were 30 students in Class 3, weren't there?"

"That's right." Liu Ye pointed to Ye Feng, who was chatting with his classmates, "This student already has one, so there's no need to claim it for now. He can choose one himself later."

Zhou Liang glanced at Ye Feng. Occasionally, some students would get their own Pokémon ahead of time, which didn't surprise him.

"I see. Then come with me." Zhou Liang gestured for him to follow.

Liu Ye called to the students to follow.

Chapter 12 Ibrahimovic

Ye Feng, Gu Siming, and Ning Xian followed at the very back of the group.

"Feng, which Pokémon do you think I should choose?"

"Whatever you like, just pick whatever you want," Ye Feng said casually, his hands behind his head.

Gu Siming looked conflicted; he had been thinking about it for a long time but still couldn't make a decision.

"Ye Feng, I still haven't decided what to choose. Do you have any good suggestions?" Ning Xian was also hesitant.

"Hmm, let me think about it." Ye Feng stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said.

"I can think of three options right now. First, Grass-type Pokémon, such as Bulbasaur, Bellsprout, Oddish, etc. Grass-type Pokémon have gentle natures and are relatively easier to raise."

Secondly, there are Bug-type Pokémon, such as Caterpie, Wurmple, and Fluffon. Bug-type Pokémon are easier to train and have a shorter growth cycle, completing natural evolution in about a year and increasing their strength quickly. However, Bug-type Pokémon have a relatively low potential, and powerful Bug-type Pokémon are really hard to find, so I don't really recommend choosing them.

Ning Xian thought for a moment and shook her head: "No Bug-type Pokémon!"

Ye Feng paused for a moment, then nodded. The girl, by sheer coincidence, shared the same idea as him.

"What about the third one?" Ning Xian asked.

"The third option..." Ye Feng hesitated for a moment.

If we're talking about the third type, then it would naturally be the all-powerful Eevee.

Eevee, being a Normal-type Pokémon, is very adaptable. Furthermore, Eevee has a gentle nature and an adorable appearance, making it especially suitable for a young girl like Ning Xian to raise.

In the eyes of the general public, Eevee is not very suitable for battle. The reason why Eevee is an option is because Eevee has multiple evolutions, and the strength of each evolution is significantly improved.

However, even ordinary evolution stones are very expensive, and high-quality evolution stones are even more priceless and hard to find; it is no exaggeration to say that a single stone is worth a fortune.

Unlike in the game, Eevee can reproduce in reality, but evolution stones of various types are non-renewable resources that can only be produced in secret realms. The harsh environment in secret realms causes every evolution stone that appears to be fiercely contested.

It's important to know that, besides Eevee, other Pokémon also require evolution stones to evolve.

According to the information Ye Feng found, Eevee's currently known evolutions include four types: Thunder, Water, Grass, and Fire. Other evolutions such as Espeon, Umbreon, Sylveon, and Glaceon have not yet been discovered.

Glaceon is relatively easy to find, but Ice Stones were only added to the game in Generation VII, so they might not have been discovered in this world yet. As for Frozen Stones, it's understandable that they might be hard to find in very cold and remote places in reality.

However, Espeon and Umbreon are a bit strange. Could it be that the people of this world think that Eevee is too weak in battle, so they choose to evolve before their friendship level reaches a certain level?

If that's the explanation, it's quite possible. Both Espeon and Umbreon require a certain level to evolve; simply having enough friendship isn't enough.

Those with high affinity are kept as pets, but lack battle experience and level; those with sufficient level have already evolved into other types of Eevee.

Ye Feng included Eevee in his choices because he considered the three evolutions that do not require evolution stones: Espeon, Umbreon, and Sylveon.

Unfortunately, Espeon and Umbreon are fine, but as for Sylveon, it seems that no Fairy-type moves have been discovered yet. It seems almost impossible for Eevee to learn Fairy-type moves on its own, so it might be a bit difficult to evolve into this type.

"Ibrahimovic."

"Eevee?" Ning Xian was a little surprised, but she quickly realized, "Eevee? Eevee is very cute, I've considered it too, but the evolution stone..."

"Yes, that is indeed a problem." Ye Feng nodded.

How could he explain to Ning Xian that there are Eevee species that can evolve without evolution stones?

"A Feng."

While Ning Xian was struggling with her decision, Gu Siming looked at Ye Feng with a resentful expression.

"What?" Ye Feng got goosebumps from being stared at.

"Praise for sex over friends!"

"···"

Ye Feng scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed. Was that how it was?

"Hey, what I just said, you can actually use it as a reference too~~~" Ye Feng said with a smile, hooking his arm around Gu Siming's neck.

"Get lost! You're talking about girls, I won't choose those elves." Gu Siming shoved Ye Feng's paws away and turned his face away disdainfully.

"Hey Fatty, you've gone too far." Ye Feng sighed.

The types of spirits he just mentioned weren't just based on the fact that Ning Xian is a girl.

As he said, Grass-type and Bug-type Pokémon are relatively easy to train, making them very suitable for novice trainers.

However, everyone has a different opinion on the initial Pokémon. Some people choose those that are easy to train, while others choose those with greater potential. It's just a matter of opinion.

-------------------------------------

After entering the breeding base, Zhou Liang explained the precautions to everyone and then asked them to disperse and choose the Pokémon that suited them best.

Ye Feng and Ning Xian walked together, while Gu Siming went to look for them alone.

"Nidoran, meow..."

The two walked and looked around, encountering many different kinds of elves along the way.

However, in Ye Feng's opinion, they were all very ordinary elves and not worth choosing.

Arriving at a lakeside, several Slowpokes and Slowpokes were lying on the rocks, sunbathing.

"Ye Feng, look! Those Slowpokes are so silly!" Ning Xian said with a grin, pointing at the Slowpokes.

"It does look pretty silly," Ye Feng laughed.

However, if you can obtain the King's Certificate and evolve into Slowking, that would be a very special Psychic-type Pokémon, known as the Sage of the Sea.

Unfortunately, Ye Feng couldn't find any information about the King's Proof after searching. Maybe no one has discovered it?

In the lake, there are also some common water-type Pokémon such as starfish, Magikarp, and Goldeen, and...

"Hmm? Is that a Feebas?" Ye Feng's eyes lit up as he spotted a special Pokémon among the many Magikarp.

"Uglyfish? It's really ugly." Ning Xian also noticed the elf and said with some disgust.

Perhaps sensing Ning Xian's disdain, the ugly fish darted to the bottom of the lake and disappeared from sight.

Ye Feng's lips twitched. Girl, do you know that the ugly Pokémon you despise evolves into Milotic, known as the most beautiful Pokémon? Moreover, Milotic is not only beautiful in appearance, but also quite strong in battle.

However, Ye Feng did not explain. Although there are Milotics in the wild, no one has yet discovered that they evolved from Feebas. Ye Feng has some guesses about the cultivation of beauty, but it is obviously not suitable for Ning Xian, who chose the starter Pokémon.

Let's verify it when we have the chance to get a Feebas in the future; he doesn't have the energy to train a second Pokémon right now.

After actually raising Pokémon in real life, I realized that it's completely different from games where you fight monsters and feed them stat boosters.

Especially the newborn elves, it's probably like raising a child, right?

After wandering around for a long time, Ning Xian still couldn't decide which Pokémon to choose.

Ye Feng was a little disappointed. He hadn't seen any rare Pokémon along the way, such as Larvitar, Gible, Beastar, and Riolu, which would have been great choices.

It's possible that this is just a city-level breeding base, and they don't have those rare Pokémon.

"Wow, it's Eevee!"

On a patch of grass, an Eevee was lying there, dozing off.

Ning Xian jogged over, and the Eevee wasn't afraid at all. It even came closer to Ning Xian when it saw her.

"Maybe I should choose Eevee, it's so cute!" Ning Xian hugged the Eevee that had climbed into her arms, and the two rubbed their faces against each other. Ning Xian was almost melted by its cuteness.

“It’s not impossible,” Ye Feng agreed.

The Eevee in the anime is already adorable, but seeing a live one now, with its soft brown fur, fluffy tail tipped with creamy down, swaying back and forth, and its bright, lively eyes, is truly heart-melting.

Judging from Eevee's appearance, it's easy for it to become close to Ning Xian. It seems that raising its friendship level shouldn't be difficult, and there's no need to worry about evolution stones. Once the friendship level reaches a certain point, evolving it into Espeon or Umbreon would be a good choice.

"But evolution stones are really expensive!" Ning Xian hesitated. Although Eevee was indeed very cute, the price of evolution stones still made her hesitate.

"It's alright. Choosing a Pokémon is all about fate, just let nature take its course. Don't worry about the evolution stones," Ye Feng said, walking over to pat Eevee and comforting it.

"Alright then. Eevee, how about it, do you want to come with me?" Ning Xian stroked Eevee's head and asked tentatively.

"Eee~Poo~" Eevee chirped happily.
