Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

A batch of about 300 cubes will be made. Based on the price of a normal quality high-grade energy cube, it will be between 150 and 250. Taking the middle value, that's 200 Alliance Coins per cube. This box will be worth 60,000 Alliance Coins.

The raw materials used to produce this batch are one-fifth of the total, and the materials are worth 50,000 Alliance Coins. One-fifth is 10,000 Alliance Coins.

Create a value of 60,000 Alliance Coins with 10,000 Alliance Coins.

Moreover, this energy cube was specially customized for Togepi's situation.

The price of a standard custom-made premium energy cube would be several times higher.

Even for established and renowned breeders like Master Suzuki, the price of his custom-made energy cubes would definitely exceed 500,000, or even exceed one million.

The value of this intermediate transformation is absolutely immeasurable.

A highly profitable industry!

This is definitely a highly profitable industry!

Unfortunately, given Xia Yan's current abilities, he cannot guarantee that he can create advanced energy cubes.

Even more unfortunately...

Pokerby's luck wasn't really that incredible.

After that, I tried a few more times, some with basic energy blocks and some with intermediate energy blocks.

Simply put, it's all about looks.

Of course, the most failures are likely, and even a few successes would be quite absurd.

Fortunately.

Xia Yan wrote down the proportions, time, and heat control when he successfully created the only advanced energy cube.

If you try a few more times, you might be able to replicate it.

"I'll save up again when I have more money, and see if I can solve the energy cube problem for Beedrill and Casey, and strive to be self-sufficient..."

The sky gradually darkened.

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Price of Maturity

After the sun sets.

Jian Er arrived at the villa.

Xia Yan looked at Jian Er, who used to be a bit chubby, but now had lost a lot of weight. He was wearing a neat little suit, and apart from a slightly decadent look in his eyes, he seemed like a completely different person in terms of both appearance and personality.

When Jian Er saw Xia Yan, he smiled, opened his arms, walked over, and gave him a big hug.

“After that day, I went to the club to look for you several times, but you were not there. I thought it was my request that caused your death.”

Actually, Xia Yan didn't hold any grudges about not being able to find his brother Kenji. On the contrary, he was probably very uneasy because Kenji's request had led him to get involved in the Zapdos incident.

Xia Yan patted Jian Er on the shoulder.

To be honest, during the very beginning and most difficult period after he joined the club, he really got through it thanks to the help of Bao Tiancai from Jian Er.

"Your brother..."

Jian Er waved his hand, "I understand him. He has always wanted to be a trainer, but his father won't allow it and insists that he take over the family business."

The two sat on the sofa.

Jian Er continued, "Now look what's happened, he's gone, leaving me with this mess at home."

Clearly, Kenji's initial goal was also to become a trainer.

But with the passing of his brother Kenta Sato, he, as the sole heir of the Sato family, had no choice but to try to get involved in the family business.

"What about the elf school?"

"I dropped out of school. I'll probably spend the rest of my life with my few Pokémon. I don't need to be very strong, just have some companionship."

Jian Er has come to terms with it.

Isn't the point of becoming a trainer to grow stronger and stronger together with your Pokémon?

It's enough that he can still be with the elves.

"Anyway, I don't have much talent, but my brother does," Jian Er chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Perhaps, if I had taken on the family responsibility from the beginning, he wouldn't have turned out the way he did..."

Is it?

Xia Yan thought about it and realized that Kenji might replace Sato Kenta in joining Tomruchi.

Tom Rukki's Mr. Mime is extraordinary; it has the ability to bewitch people and influence their thinking. This is how Loto was controlled, how Kenta Sato was bewitched, and even Natsuhiko was unknowingly affected.

Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of strength.

Despite Sato's large and powerful family, he appears too fragile in the face of truly top-tier experts.

Jian Er is indeed a rich second-generation, but in reality, it seems that he and Xia Yan are not much different except for money.

They are all like a piece of paper, seemingly large but actually very thin. In the face of a truly strong enough wind, they can only sway with the wind.

Daigo is different in this respect.

Daigo is not only rich, but also powerful, and he is rapidly becoming stronger.

Daigo's goal is also very clear: he and Kenji both need to take over the family business. But once he has the strength of a Champion or even a World Champion, no one can control him.

Therefore, strength is the foundation for standing firm in this world.

After chatting for a while, Kenji got up to leave.

"You can stay here as you like, it's just sitting empty anyway."

As they reached the door, Jian Er stopped again, hesitatingly saying, "If, I mean if, you ever run into him again, please pass on a message to him for me, just say... 'I don't blame him.'"

“…Okay.” Xia Yan nodded.

"gone."

Jian'er left, and he has changed a lot.

It's matured.

Maturity doesn't mean you've lost anything, but rather what you've given up.

This kind of giving up may be beneficial to oneself, but it will definitely be unforgettable.

It's hard to imagine that the boy who was so immature and shouted that he wanted to become a champion not long ago has now become a businessman who has to work hard for profit.

“Chocolate…”

Togepi emerged from the corner with its head drooping and its eyes a little red.

As a happiness spirit, Togepi could clearly sense that Kenji had completely lost his happiness, which made it very sad.

Xia Yan picked it up and said softly, "Everyone has their own choices, and they have the right to choose. Giving up some things is the price of making choices."

"babble......"

If there's no cost, then only children make choices; adults, of course, want it all.

Pokerby nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Xia Yan speaks in such a profound way...

He clapped his hands and said to the three Pokémon, "That's enough for today's training. Take a break, and we'll start regular training tomorrow for systematic training."

"Chocolate!"

rest!

Pokerby cheered, jumped onto the sofa, struck a relaxed pose, and turned on the TV.

"Hiss—"

"Kexie—"

The equipment used for training "straight-through drilling" on the Beedrill's double needles was not removed, but simply moved from the backyard to the living room.

Casey didn't give up training her superpowers either, and she floated on the sofa.

They had all been through life and death with Xia Yan, and almost failed to protect him in the dark ruins, which undoubtedly put them under considerable pressure.

Seeing that they were all still training, Togepi suddenly felt that watching TV wasn't so appealing anymore, and even lounging around wasn't comfortable.

“Chocolate…”

Should we join the training too?

But what should we train for?

A wave of the hand?

Pokerby immediately shook his head.

Will they blow up the house?

Gift?

Pokerby shook his head again.

It looks like it might still explode...

“It’s just right.”

Pokerby looked to Xia Yan for help.

Xia Yan's attention was now focused on the computer. He was organizing his thoughts and shortcomings on making the energy cubes today, and trying to come up with ideas for his second paper.

He felt nervous again after spending too much money today.

Togepi's eyes lit up. Since there were no instructions... why not practice yawning?

It has no destructive power.

Thinking of this, Togepi let out a long yawn...

...

...

Another three days have passed.
