Instead, he pulled a bottle of pink, fragrant perfume from his storage capsule and sprinkled a few drops over the grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the grass—originally only rated as E-grade—suddenly transformed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Grade: C – Fragrant Grass]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Description: A few drops of powdery-sweet perfume have been added, intensifying its aroma.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Effect: Increases the appeal of herbivorous Pokémon by 30%.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miltank!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the scent hit the air, the nearby Miltank immediately perked up, eyes brightening as they let out eager cries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, follow me. I’ve got even better grass where that came from.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayashi Kaede looked every bit the mischievous uncle as he smiled at the three Miltank he had selected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miltank! Miltank!\" (Walk Walk...)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Miltank stared at the fragrant grass in his hands, moving forward to nuzzle it expectantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Hayashi Kaede held the grass up for them to eat. When it was gone and the Miltank still looked unsatisfied, he turned toward Kusano Genmu with a helpless shrug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genmu chuckled at the sight. \"This is probably the simplest deal you’ve ever made. Alright then, take out the Poké Balls and bring them with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sweet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayashi Kaede swiftly pulled out three Poké Balls and captured the trio of Miltank he’d chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he scratched his head, looking sheepish. \"Uncle Genmu, I’ve only got 850,000 PokéDollars on me right now. Mind if I pay the rest later? I’ll deliver another batch of fresh grass in a few days to cover it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the money wasn’t enough, he wasn’t about to pass up the opportunity to catch them first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genmu couldn’t help but laugh, but nodded anyway. \"Don’t worry about the money. What I really want is the forage grass you’ve been cultivating. Next time, you can also just bring me some seeds. That’s more valuable to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Hayashi Kaede, that was an easy favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After handing over the payment, he sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d thought saving up 800,000 PokéDollars in three days was an impressive feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected it to vanish in a single transaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what now...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind drifted to the challenge Uncle Genmu had mentioned that morning. He was still hesitating about whether to bring it up—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Genmu beat him to it. \"Let’s have that battle I mentioned. This one’s personal. Back in the day, your father’s Pokémon training left a deep impression on me. So now, let me test yours. Just send out the strongest one you’ve raised.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayashi Kaede nodded. \"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trial from the older generation, huh? Then he had to respond with his absolute best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since arriving in this world, he’d yet to see what a true gym-level trainer looked like in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trailed after Genmu to a nearby grassy area just outside the fence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll battle here. Go ahead and release your Pokémon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Genmu tapped a Poké Ball and sent out a Bayleef.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pokémon: Bayleef]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Gender: Male]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ability: Overgrow]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Aptitude: Purple]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Stats: HP (24), Atk (23), SpA (24), Def (27), SpD (24), Spd (22)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level: 23–26]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Moves: Tackle, Growl, Leaf Blade, Poison Powder, Vine Whip, Heal Pulse, Magical Leaf, Leech Seed, Reflect]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mid-elite-level Pokémon. For most rookie trainers, this would be a devastating opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t holding back—this was clearly a serious test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayashi Kaede responded in kind, releasing Milotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Milotic~?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the sun, Milotic’s radiant scales shimmered with a breathtaking luster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was a Water-type Pokémon, it had no issue fighting on land for short durations. Its only limitation would be some reduced mobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Milotic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genmu blinked in surprise before chuckling. \"Haven’t seen a Milotic in Aogiri Town for a long time. You must have raised this one from a Feebas, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayashi Kaede nodded. \"Yeah, it mainly evolved thanks to its Beautiful Scales.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genmu shook his head in admiration. \"Ordinary Beautiful Scales wouldn’t produce a Milotic this stunning. Its coloration—this might be the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen. Looks like your training might’ve already surpassed your father’s.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his arm. \"Alright! Bayleef, use Magical Leaf!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Pokémon with average speed and moderate strength, battle outcomes often hinge on energy intensity and type matchups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Milotic’s energy output was clearly stronger than Bayleef’s, this was Hayashi Kaede’s first time commanding it in combat. Playing defensively was the safer call to avoid injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of glowing leaves flew forth as Bayleef shook its head, launching the Magical Leaf attack toward Milotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the attack could land, a white barrier shimmered into place—Protect activated in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magical leaves crashed harmlessly against the glowing screen, not even causing it to flicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking, Hayashi Kaede gave the next command:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Milotic, use Dragon Pulse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant white beam surged into being, condensing in a blink before it exploded outward like a thunderclap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Bayleef’s stunned gaze, the draconic energy wave struck hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single hit, Bayleef was blasted backward and collapsed, unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayashi Kaede’s eyes widened. \"That strong?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen Milotic fight before, and didn’t expect it to knock out a mid-elite-level Bayleef in one blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miiilooootic...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Milotic glanced anxiously toward the fallen Bayleef, then turned to look at Hayashi Kaede with worry in its eyes, head lowered timidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(;°ロ°) \"Miiilooootic...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s okay, it’s okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayashi Kaede gently reassured her before turning toward Genmu. \"Is Bayleef alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genmu wore a complicated expression. After checking on Bayleef, he shook his head and said, \"He’ll be fine. Any Pokémon that steps into battle has to be prepared to get hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw Milotic, he already had a feeling Bayleef wouldn’t stand a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its gleaming scales, powerful aura—it was just shy of gym-level strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t expect a one-hit knockout. Not even a chance to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected... truly his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genmu beckoned him over. \"Come here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled a large container out of his storage capsule. \"This is fresh Moomoo Milk from my main Miltank. It’s packed with nutrients—perfect for helping a new Pokémon recover and grow...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1025,"2026-05-30T11:00:42.887Z","2026-06-01T04:31:04.028Z",1,"novelbin.me","70de255a0c66cb4b27fae07d03806177214b2d4def48df62b1d87aed779fc7e0","pokemon-making-pokemon-stronger-through-happines-chapter-48","pokemon-making-pokemon-stronger-through-happines-chapter-46",473,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpokemon-making-pokemon-stronger-through-happines-cover.jpg"]
