Poké Block specialty store.
Baimu pushed the door open, and a dazzling array of Pokémon Blocks were neatly arranged on the shelves, catching the eyes of him and the Dreepy Siblings.
"Hiiya~"
"Hiiya!"
Sister Dragapult looked amazed, her cyan green tail swaying back and forth. Meanwhile, Brother Dragapult stared at those jars with glistening drool at the corner of his mouth.
Entering a Poké Block store for Pokémon is like a starving mouse stumbling into a grain warehouse overflowing with food. If he hadn't just been scolded, Brother Dragapult would have vanished by now.
Snap!
The sound of fingers snapping brought Brother Dragapult's attention back.
Baimu forcefully turned its head, "We'll make some soon, don't keep staring at theirs, alright?"
"Hiiya?"
Brother Dragapult tilted his head, still struggling to fully understand human language, unlike his sister, who was gradually becoming accustomed and comprehending it.
This also indirectly proved that his learning ability was not as strong as his sister's.
Seeing its bewildered expression, Baimu pinched its small triangular head and led it to the fruit processor, took out various Tree Fruits from the bag, sliced them or juiced them, or stuffed them whole into the machine.
Unlike portable fruit processors, the specialty store's machine can fit more Tree Fruits and produce a large number of Poké Blocks at once.
It can also simultaneously produce multiple formulas, unlike the portable version, which can only make one flavor at a time.
With the advent of the internet era, many people are keen on sharing their Poké Block formulas online, with a hundred flowers blossoming and many schools of thought contending, everyone confidently claiming their formula is the most effective.
The formula he's currently using was obtained from his affordable teacher Liuqia, and the quality of block production is quite stable, with at least five powerful Poké Blocks out of ten, and occasionally a powerful rainbow-colored Poké Block, which is the best quality type.
Unlike others whose batches yield no powerful Poké Blocks.
Even better than Mikoli's formula.
Previously, he tried the formula Mikoli shared on his blog, but it wasn't as effective as Liuqia's.
Not long after.
The machine buzzed for a while, followed by the sound of clattering drops, continuously filling the tray with various Poké Blocks like game tokens in an arcade.
The alluring aroma spread, causing the two little Dreepy to drool uncontrollably.
"Not bad."
Baimu divided them, with half being powerful Poké Blocks and half normal, while the rainbow-colored ones took up about fifteen percent of all colors.
"Don't drool, here you go."
He picked up a sour one and a sweet one, and stuffed them into the mouths of the Dreepy siblings.
Their mouths were small, unable to hold all at once, they quickly raised their small paws to hold the Poké Blocks, turned around, and munched frantically.
"Slow down, don't dirty the floor."
He casually said, continuing to stuff various Tree Fruits into the processor.
Suddenly.
A voice of admiration sounded beside him.
"What a fragrant Poké Block! What's the formula?"
Baimu turned his head and immediately saw a familiar-looking woman with dark green long hair standing behind him, wearing fitted athletic wear, exuding an indescribable sense of vigor.
On her shoulder floated a cute Misdreavus, watching the Dreepy siblings munching Poké Blocks, seeming a bit envious.
The two of them locked eyes.
"Hello, my name is Xiaofeng." She generously extended her hand, her voice surprisingly deep, unlike the usual soft and crisp voice of a woman.
Xiaofeng!
Upon hearing the name, his mind was flooded with related memories, politely shaking hands with her, "Hello, hello, my name is... Baimu."
Unlike Xiaofeng, the twin Gym Leader of Mossdeep City, this Xiaofeng in front of him was Ash Ketchum's opponent in the top thirty-two at the Ever Grande Conference. Although she ultimately lost to him, she was quite a well-known Trainer in her hometown of Shuijing City.
Even featured in Xiaogang's guidebook on beautiful girls.
But why is she in a Poké Block specialty store? Could it be that the Trainer's path isn't working out, and she's preparing to become a Coordinator Trainer?
During his contemplation, Xiaofeng in front of him showed a surprised expression, then seemed excitedly about to call out, but abruptly stopped when her gaze fell on the mask.
She suddenly lowered her voice.
"Baimu!? Are you Baimu?"
"... I think I should be."
Baimu pulled his mask down slightly.
Seeing his face, Xiaofeng became extremely excited, unable to contain herself, trying to grab his hand, "It's really you! Baimu! I'm your fan!"
"Uh, thanks."
Baimu casually picked up a jar to prevent the scene from becoming awkward, while still wondering inwardly.
Whether to say the Lucky Scale was powerful, or the Gorgeous Competition was impressive, it's hard to tell why there seemed to be fans of him everywhere in the Hoenn Region—of course, it's nothing compared to Mr. Qianli, who had an entire city of fans.
But, is she really going to pursue the Coordinator Trainer path?
The excitement on the spirited girl's face didn't diminish, her face full of admiration as she said, "Watching your Gorgeous Competition made me realize that Trainers like Mikoli, who combine battling and performance, aren't an exception, so I also want to become a Coordinator Trainer!"
"Thank you, it's my honor to have inspired you."
He nodded slightly, putting freshly made Poké Blocks into prepared jars and sealing them.
