Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

The weight of knowledge was affirmed once again at this moment. Looking back on the past few months, whether it was the assistance of the technology tree, the common sense accumulated in the previous life, or the help of Fu Ye and Blatano, it was all closely related to this.

Her broad horizons gave her confidence and composure in the face of adversity; her extensive knowledge allowed her to speak and act with ease and fearlessness in the face of danger; and her mental power enabled her to remember everything she saw and complete tasks in one stroke.

These knowledge-based things enabled her to overcome obstacles and thorns that ordinary people could not reach, allowing her to grow rapidly along a perfect path, which is why she is now able to stand on this highest stage.

Master Fu's words from that day resurfaced in her mind. In the past, she had taken them as her guide, and from now on, Nan Yin would be even more certain of her own path.

No longer lost in thought, I looked up at Joey and at those people who were shedding tears. The atmosphere had settled, and the assessment should begin.

and so--

"Today, you will also need to discern the preferences of those three Eevee based on their habits, and adjust the details of the blocks according to their differences in body shape. You can choose the materials yourself."

Compared to the first two rounds of judging that tested coordination skills, this round of competition measures absolute insight and practical application. With the performance format removed, the competition is undoubtedly more straightforward and intense.

It was still that beautiful woman speaking with composure. Unlike those renowned masters, Joey's word alone was her biggest asset in securing her place on the judging panel.

As giants in the medical field, they are also from prestigious families who have cultivated their talents.

As the conversation faded, all the participants began to focus their attention on the three Eevee dogs, each with a different physique.

Fire, water, and electricity are the most direct manifestations and the foundation for progressive thinking.

The naked eye can only see so much, but the violet arc of light gently touched the eyelids, discerning the minute details.

The existence of telekinesis and waveguides allows Nan Yin to no longer be limited by obstructed vision, enabling her to observe more closely.

On the surface, they may seem indistinguishable, but upon closer observation, one can discern many of the children's subtle habits.

Flareon didn't resist people's gazes, and even took pride in the attention they received. Vaporeon, on the other hand, let the gazes scrutinize it, only curling up its long tail and lying in a ball. As for Jolteon, its rampant electric snakes and impatient pupils had already conveyed the key information.

--character.

Different populations and different attributes will divide the preferred tastes into large categories, while personality and habits are often the second most influential factors.

Arrogance, gentleness, and impatience—these are the key messages of Nanyin music.

After observing for a while and confirming that her judgment was correct, she bypassed the group of unsuspecting contestants and came to the pile of fruit baskets.

With a flick of her fingertips, she also released her mental power from between her brows, and the girl selected one fruit after another to be used as the main ingredient.

Not only the craftsmanship, but also the quality of the materials greatly affects the color and flavor of the finished product.

Ordinary people can only rely on touch and sight, but the extension to the material level can penetrate through the fruit peel, into the cell membrane, and meticulously measure the abundance of carbohydrates and the concentration of trace elements.

The first step is to select the best fruits based on their major categories, such as prickly berries, black berries, and golden berries.

Large rootstocks, glowing mushrooms, and sweet treats—selecting suitable supplementary ingredients based on the habitat of the species is the second step.

Pear, algae root fruit, and chocolate fruit – distinguishing preferences based on personality differences is the most important step in improving taste.

After nodding to Ruby and Xiaogang, who had also chosen this type of material, she quickly walked to her workbench.

Ignoring the surprised looks around her, and without a moment's hesitation, Nan Yin pressed her index finger against the back of the knife, poured her strength into a slow and steady motion, and neatly peeled off the entire circle of fruit skin.

Exhale gently, then raise the knife tip and make a vertical cut along the midline of the fruit, revealing the pit. A thin layer of juice seeps out from the inside and flows into the prepared cup.

By peeling back the rough skin of the large rootstock and removing the crown of the luminous mushroom, she could easily see the internal texture and cross-section with her transcendent perception.

Therefore, the knife strikes are precise, and the force is applied perfectly.

Peeling and pitting without damaging the flesh, even without deliberately using her mental power, the girl's movements were as smooth as flowing water, without the slightest tremor, thanks to her extreme focus.

Without pausing, she used a mortar and pestle to grind the ingredients into even powder in three batches.

Once the main ingredients are prepared, they are poured into the stove, kept at a constant temperature, and the soup is brought to a boil. Only when the soup reaches the desired level are the auxiliary ingredients and fruit pulp added to the Nanyin soup for seasoning.

She didn't rush to turn off the fire. In the available time, she prepared the molds, placed the strainer, and took care of everything.

With virtually no errors, after undergoing a sudden temperature change, the crystal-clear, solid object exuded a rich aroma, appearing before everyone's eyes in a seamless and clear manner.

"This child, did he really only study with you, Master Fu, for half a year?"

Unable to believe what he was seeing, Conkenstein looked at the old man sitting to the side in astonishment.

As the organizer of the competition and as a master craftsman, he was well aware of how stunning the knife skills and how incredible the technique were.

The Energy Cube is made from tree fruit, and craftsmen maximize the effectiveness of the main material by combining different materials to suit individual users.

However, there are limits to what can be created later in life.

Breeders painstakingly devise combinations and strive to make the best use of every component, but oversights in craftsmanship and the exhaustion of effort inevitably lead to the loss of some materials and damage to the inner wall of the fruit pulp. As a result, most apprentices waste a large number of tree fruits before they graduate.

Even a master like him could only control the heat of the simmering process and the degree of cooling to minimize losses. Yet the girl's knife skills did not damage the inner wall at all, and she even achieved the ideal state of each subsequent step, that is, no damage.

One set of materials yielded multiple finished products; this is not only about choosing the best quality, but also about winning in terms of quantity.

Machines cannot match quantity, and human labor cannot match quality. Once you see the production process and compare the finished product with others, the chasm-like difference is enough to make you feel ashamed of yourself.

"To be precise, it was only two months."

Without any boastful tone, Master Fu simply picked up the hot tea beside him and took a leisurely sip, but his beaming eyes already revealed his self-satisfaction and contentment.

"This is no longer a matter of time, Mr. Fu. Is your beloved student perhaps a little...?"

The word "outrageous" was difficult to express, and the old man delivered an even heavier blow.

"Isn't it only natural for a disciple to surpass his master?"

No longer hiding his smile, Master Fu had foreseen this scene from the moment he accepted the Nanyin music.

He felt ashamed that he couldn't understand the girl's techniques, but deep down, the old man was also moved by the potential that Nan Yin had shown.

At this age, he was still able to see skills far beyond common sense, and the person with this level of skill was his apprentice who had inherited all his skills.

My heart is overflowing with pride. My disciple is a master among masters!

No one knew how much the two highly respected teachers talked, but when the energy cubes of the contestants were presented, the three Eevee all walked toward the white-haired girl in the same way, and no further words were needed.

With perfect scores and three consecutive victories, the winner is obvious: she will undoubtedly be from Miare City.

Nanyin!

Chapter 134 Becoming a Senior Breeder and Completing the Apprenticeship

With the outcome decided, this grand competition has come to a complete end.

The three stages concluded one after another, and the judges' scores and the results of the assessment were clearly displayed on the screen above and presented to the world.

With a perfect score, she defeated numerous opponents, crushing them all to claim the crown and showcasing her exceptional talent. Undoubtedly, the winner is the rookie girl from Lucerne City.

"Nanyin."

"Congratulations on winning, and this is your ribbon medal."

Mikoli took out the exquisitely crafted badge from the gift box, sat up, and slowly walked from the judges' table to the girl.

Without taking any further action, he simply bent down and handed over the item with a respectful knightly bow.

"Thank you."

With the medal pinned to her chest, Nan Yin remained unmoved, nodded slightly, and turned her eyes away, facing the gazes of the crowd with composure.

"This is an honor you deserve."

With a clapping gesture, the blue-haired man stepped aside to give way to the camera, and snapped his fingers to signal backstage to adjust the lighting, handing the center stage to the rising star.

"Ladies and gentlemen, behold, this magnificent flower of art has once again blossomed on the romantic land of Kalos. Without any further embellishment, she and her Pokémon have already shown us what harmony and tacit understanding truly mean."

With his head bowed and one hand tucked in front of his chest, while the other was outstretched, Mikoli raised his voice, using his words and actions to ignite the enthusiasm of the entire audience.

"So why not give them a thunderous round of applause!"

Already amazed by the girl's performance, and then with the Hoenn champion speaking out, once the lingering emotions faded, a wave of cheers erupted inside and outside the venue.

They were captivated by the former's talent and moved by the atmosphere, and involuntarily called out the girl's name.

"Nanyin, Nanyin, Nanyin!!!"

No one knew of her inner self, but one day she became famous throughout the world.

"As expected of Mikoli, he is always so good at both the flashy and the emotional impact on the audience."

With a knowing smile and no words, Conkenstein said with a hint of sarcasm.

"He's always been like this. In comparison, shouldn't we admire that girl for being able to remain calm and composed on such a grand stage for the first time?"

After putting down the scoreboard, Melissa didn't care about the performance of the Hoenn champion. Instead, she became quite interested in Nan Yin.

With more experience, one often becomes less surprised, but for a young girl to possess such composure is, in a word, simply—

A natural performer.

"Nanyin, is there anything else you'd like to say to everyone?"

Taking the microphone from Mikeley, looking into the expectant eyes of the children, and then turning back to see the little animals huddled together, I felt a surge of emotion, as if ripples were spreading across my face.

She once set a goal to become a butterfly from another world, to step into every grand story, to witness it, and to change it.

If you're going to be a breeder, you have to become an unprecedented master; if you're going to be a trainer, you have to climb to the top of the mountain and stand in a position that others can only look up to. And now, she has already taken her first step.

"Buyi."

The delicate hand that wrapped around the girl gave her the confidence to speak. Sylveon, too, faced the gaze of the crowd without fear, simply staying by her side as always.

So, Nan Yin pursed her lips and spoke again.

It was a concise statement, as calm as autumn water, yet as chilling as a cold wind.

"This is not the end."

No further embellishment was necessary. As everyone pondered, the girl flicked her sleeves and stepped into the long corridor, leaving behind only her long, narrow silhouette.

......

Every year in a particular region, the most talked-about topic among trainers is either the winning rookie of the league tournament or which trainer has made a name for themselves in the Master Tournament.

In addition, there are other things that attract the attention of certain groups.

A grand, lavish celebration, hosted by the newly appointed top coordinator.

Among more than a hundred people who received five ribbon medals, he stood out in a series of competitions and became the most outstanding coordinator and the most powerful one.

Perhaps Carlos's Grand Prix this year wasn't the most prestigious celebration, but the star-studded lineup of participants and the distinguished judges certainly made it the pinnacle of the event.

Unlike the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament, this grand tournament, being the first to be held on this land and the result of a collaborative effort between Hoenn and Carlos, carries significance far beyond ordinary events.

To mitigate the impact of the Blazing Flare team's legacy and to support the talent pool, the regional league would naturally and logically promote this tournament, especially since the winner is a local young talent.

Therefore, these days, everyone who pays attention is discussing this match.

"That girl's name is Nan Yin, right? She received the highest-ranking ribbon medal as soon as she debuted, and her name will probably be circulating in the coordinator's circle for years to come."

"Yes, it's surprising that she defeated so many elite coordinators, even though it was her first time participating in the Grand Contest."

"It's not just her outstanding performance; once you've seen her figure and the exquisite Pokémon, you can't help but admire her superb breeding skills and praise the brilliance of each other."

"The mutual care between humans and Pokémon is so cute. It seems that besides Carmine, I have another favorite."

Regardless of the depth of the topic, discussions about that competition could be heard almost everywhere—in restaurants, squares, train stations, and so on.

After passing through these mixed sounds and passing through the high walls of the Prism Tower, you will arrive at an office space where you will see several familiar figures.

“Miss Nan Yin, these children have almost fully recovered, so you can rest assured.”

With a relaxed expression, Ms. Joy, who had been standing on the judges' panel, returned all the Poké Balls to their original positions. Her sharp edge vanished, replaced by a gentle admiration.

"I have to say, even though I have personally healed many Pokémon, Sylveon and Gliscor are still the best I have seen in recent years. Not only are their fur shiny and their bodies healthy, but their temperament is also extremely natural."

"Thank you for the compliment."

There was no excessive joy. Nan Yin knew her child's situation very well, and she had been by her side during those growing years.

"Although I said it once in the venue, I still want to congratulate you on winning the honor of being a top coordinator."

He didn't leave immediately after the match. Carlos is a land with a rich history, and with the existence of a super-evolved being, Mikuri was naturally interested and decided to stay for a month or two to learn more.

Moreover, his close friend Daigo has been missing ever since he arrived here, focused on excavating fossils. Even if he wasn't worried about Daigo's safety, he still had to find this missing champion.

After all, he didn't want to spend all his time in the office dealing with mountains of work.

"Ah."

As she gently stroked the ribbon medal with her fingertips, the firm texture, though not entirely comfortable, gave Nan Yin a sense of accomplishment, and a smile appeared on her face.

This is the result of her and the children's joint efforts.
