58: Section 58

“And just now, the official staff have already delivered the Poké Ball.”

After Reba appeared in the live stream, she first greeted Zhang Yu, then took out a Poké Ball, and released Corviknight from it in front of everyone.

[That's... grassland? It seems Anchor is finally leaving the valley area.]

[This really isn't easy. Even with Arcanine for transportation, it took so long. If Anchor had to rely on his two legs to travel, who knows how long it would have taken.]

[If he really walked the whole way, it would probably take more than a day, right?]

[Yes, after all, Arcanine's speed is evident, but even it took so long, which already indicates how long this journey is.]

[Strange, why is someone else on a call with Anchor again?]

[I was just thinking, besides special cases like Reba, who else would be on a call with Anchor? I didn't expect it to actually be Reba.]

[Huh? Are the officials acting so quickly? They delivered the Poké Ball to Reba so fast?]

[This is indeed a bit unexpected, and from the current situation, this Poké Ball is almost identical to the Poké Ball Anchor uses.]

[Wait! Since Reba got the Poké Ball so quickly, does that mean Poké Balls can be manufactured now?]

[It's likely that the Dragon Country officials can indeed produce Poké Balls on a small scale now, otherwise, a Poké Ball wouldn't have been delivered to Reba so quickly. This clearly shows there are already finished products.]

Chapter 76: Pokémon Training Issues! (Seeking Subscription)

[So, it's not far until Poké Balls are mass-produced, right?]

[That's hard to say, after all, it's a completely unknown technology, and we don't understand it very well.]

[Anyway, since it can already be manufactured, it shouldn't be long until it's available for sale, right?]

Because no other Pokémon appeared along the way, the Water Friends felt somewhat bored, until a hint of green appeared in their field of vision, and they finally perked up.

However, their attention was quickly drawn to the incoming call.

It was at this time that they learned that Reba had already obtained a Poké Ball!

While they felt envious, they also began to look forward to the sale of Poké Balls.

What they didn't know was that the reason Dragon Country officials delivered the Poké Ball to Reba so quickly was primarily to test the Poké Ball's performance.

After all, a Pokémon as large as Corviknight is truly not easy to find.

Especially since this Corviknight, due to Reba, was exceptionally cooperative and could assist to a certain extent, which made it even more valuable.

Other than that, they really couldn't find a suitable Pokémon to test whether the Poké Ball's performance was up to standard.

They couldn't just casually find a Caterpie to test it, could they?

And since it had already been tested, they could confidently proceed with mass production of the Poké Ball.

“Besides that, I have two more things I'd like to ask about.”

“I've noticed that Corviknight doesn't seem very interested in most foods. Is it because Pokémon have some special dietary requirements?”

“At the same time, she can feel Corviknight's desire to become stronger. I don't know what I should do to make it even more powerful?”

After finishing with the Poké Ball matter, Reba immediately began to discuss serious matters.

“As for food requirements, yes, there are.”

“Although Pokémon can eat ordinary food, generally speaking, these foods cannot meet their energy needs, especially for Pokémon that have evolved to their final form.”

“The food they need most is Cheri Berries, which are those strange-looking fruit-like things I usually use. Only by continuously consuming them can Pokémon stay healthy; otherwise, they can easily become listless.”

“And let me tell you, they're not just strange-looking; they all contain a certain amount of energy and have special abilities.”

“For example, this Cheri Berry that looks like a blue orange is called a ranz berry, and it's a very common Cheri Berry.”

“But don't underestimate it just because it's common. Not only can it be used to restore a Pokémon's stamina, but it also has a certain healing effect and can be used to treat minor injuries to Pokémon.”

“And this Cheri Berry that looks like a peach is called a Peach Berry. It can help Pokémon recover from poisoning...”

After hearing Reba's question, Zhang Yu pondered for a moment before answering.

And to help them more intuitively distinguish the differences between the various Cheri Berries, he even specifically took out some Cheri Berries to show them one by one.

For example, common Cheri Berries like Cheri Berry, Chesto Berry, Pecha Berry, and Rawst Berry, which can be used to alleviate various abnormal statuses.

“However, although Cheri Berries are the food Pokémon need most, if you feed Cheri Berries directly to Pokémon, the nutrients they can absorb are actually not that much.”

“The truly most suitable method is to do as I do: combine various Cheri Berries to make energy cubes, and then feed them to the Pokémon. That's better.”

After briefly introducing some Cheri Berries, Zhang Yu then began to talk about energy cubes.

[Oh, so Pokémon have food requirements? It seems raising a Pokémon isn't such a simple matter after all.]

[Indeed, obtaining those Cheri Berries is not an easy task.]

[So there are so many kinds of Cheri Berries? And they all have their own different magical effects?]

[So it's not just Pokémon that are magical, but even their food is so magical?]

[Goodness, so that Cheri Berry called ranz berry can even be used for healing? No wonder I always felt that some Pokémon in my hand recovered a bit too quickly before. So that's what it was.]

[Anchor makes it sound simple, making energy cubes... But is this something we can just make if we say we can?]

[Yes, we ordinary people can't make this stuff at all, okay?]

[Exactly, we still don't know what that mysterious device is called or what it does.]

[It seems raising Pokémon needs to be planned for the long term.]

[This is indeed a difficult problem to solve.]

[Is there no other way besides energy cubes?]

[From the current situation, it seems that is indeed the case.]

[This is really a headache.]

After hearing what Zhang Yu said, the Water Friends finally realized the magic of Cheri Berries.

At the same time, it also explained some situations they had seen in the past that they found unreasonable.

And when they heard Zhang Yu talk about energy cubes later, they immediately started complaining.

After all, whenever Cheri Berries are mentioned, the berry blender is an unavoidable topic.

And they knew absolutely nothing about this black technology.

“If you're talking about this device, it's called a berry blender. Its main purpose is to thoroughly mix the Cheri Berries and filter out impurities.”

“As for more specific things, I don't know.”

“However, the most important thing for making energy cubes is the Cheri Berries; the equipment isn't that important, so you don't really need to dwell on this issue too much.”

“Instead of worrying about this, you should try to find a way to get some Cheri Berries.”

After noticing some of the bullet comments in the live stream, Zhang Yu felt a wave of helplessness.

Regarding some things about the berry blender, let alone others, even he wasn't very clear, and could only give a general explanation.

After all, if he were to buy this thing, it would actually be quite expensive, so he couldn't just give one to the officials just so they could research what this device was all about.

Moreover, in his opinion, there was absolutely no need for it.

After all, the berry blender, in the end, is just an auxiliary device; the most important things are those Cheri Berries.

“As for ways to make Pokémon stronger?”

“There are many ways. Most Pokémon can become stronger on their own if you let them grow naturally.”

“And if you want to accelerate this process, you need to let Corviknight experience more battles. For Pokémon, battle is the best way to grow, and their physiques are strong, so even if they are injured, they can recover quickly.”

“And it's not just Pokémon; you yourself can't fall behind either.”

“Just like when I commanded Charmeleon in battle before, Trainer and Pokémon need to fight side by side.”

“Compared to most Pokémon, humans are undoubtedly smarter, so in battle, we human Trainers must judge the timing of attacks well and which skills to use for attacking.”

“However, you must pay attention: although this Corviknight has evolved to its final evolutionary form, its strength is actually not particularly powerful.”

“If I'm not mistaken, it should have just finished evolving in the past few days, so when you take it to challenge other Pokémon, you must judge whether the opponent is a Pokémon that Corviknight can defeat.”

“Compared to battling wild Pokémon, I actually recommend that you battle other Trainers more.”

“Because with the Trainer's restraint, battles between Pokémon can become safer. Otherwise, although battles between Pokémon are considered normal, it would be quite troublesome if they accidentally got seriously angry.”

After finishing with the berry blender, Zhang Yu immediately began to talk to Reba about Pokémon battles.

And to prevent anyone from doing something stupid, he even specifically gave a reminder.

People who can become Trainers in this recent period can be considered to have a certain talent on this path. If possible, he still doesn't want anything to happen to them.

[So that mysterious device is called a berry blender? It doesn't sound like a very complicated machine, does it? Logically, Dragon Country should be able to replicate it, right?]

[How could things be as simple as you think? If that thing were really that easy to replicate, there wouldn't still be no products similar to energy cubes.]

[Compared to this, don't you think it's a bit too cruel to make Pokémon battle just to get stronger?]

[What's so cruel about it? It's better than realizing you don't have enough strength when you need it, right?]

[Indeed, and battles between Pokémon should be a very common thing, just as Anchor said, after all, those Pokémon all appear to be accustomed to it.]
