Chapter 14

Relying solely on this move that is incredibly underhanded, Smeargle, whose base stats are at the bottom of the Pokedex, has even been able to rank among the popular Pokémon for battles all year round.

The effect of Sketch is also simple and crude: copy the opponent's move as your own.

It can even steal the signature moves of most Legendary Pokémon.

The true source of all evil.

How can there be such an evil Pokémon as Smeargle!

But then again, if his Eevee learned Smeargle's signature move "Sketch"...

It seems they have also found another "feature" of the Sunshine Gym!

However, regarding the understanding of Sketch, Qingyu was basically limited to the games in his past life.

Whether it can exert such an absurd effect in reality, he still has to put a question mark on it.

And Eevee learning Sketch, is it even legal...

When Qingyu doubted the legality of his Eevee, the "special forces" Eevee had also returned to his loyal Sunshine Gym.

"Bui?"

Eevee only felt the world spinning, and after subconsciously closing its eyes, when it opened them again, Qingyu had already appeared before it.

After seeing its Trainer again, the little guy immediately became excited, chirping "Bui Bui" non-stop, seemingly sharing its travel experiences.

Although Qingyu couldn't understand the Pokémon language, it didn't prevent him from feeling Eevee's excitement.

"It seems you are very satisfied with this trip."

Qingyu smiled.

Rewards and growth can wait; making Eevee happy is more important than anything else.

These 50 Growth Points were really worth it.

Next time he gets points from the system, let Eevee go to other regions to look around.

"Bui~(≧≦)ゞ"

Eevee also laughed cheerfully, but as it laughed, its stomach suddenly made a long, loud rumbling sound.

The little guy immediately curled up in embarrassment, staring straight at Qingyu with star-shaped eyes that were cute enough to kill.

"Going out to play is really tiring, right?"

Qingyu petted its fluffy little head; to wait for it to come back, he was actually a bit hungry too.

Since things have come to this, why not indulge first and have a late-night snack.

Late at night, Qingyu sat on the bed, gently stroking Eevee, who was curled up in a ball and sleeping quietly at the head of the bed, his gaze focused on the few lines of small text before his eyes.

【For you who have been reborn, under the influence of your wife in your past life, training Pokémon is no longer a problem.】

【Under your command, Eevee, who went traveling, quickly gained visible improvement.】

Hmm, indeed visible improvement.

If it weren't for this Travel Raising system, I wouldn't believe Eevee could learn Sketch even if I were beaten to death...

This is too imba!

Qingyu complained in his heart and continued to move his gaze down.

【Task: Use the Travel Raising function to accelerate the Pokémon raising process. (Completed)】

【Reward: Pokémon Raising Encyclopedia by the Raising Expert Blue】

The main event is here!

Qingyu touched the screen lightly, and soon a thick stack of notebooks appeared in his palm.

Blue, full name Gary Oak, the protagonist's rival in the first generation of Pokémon games, one of the members of the protagonist group in the Special manga.

In the manga, every Pokedex holder (protagonist) has their own traits, and Blue, who is called the "Raising Expert" by Professor Oak, naturally excels at raising.

It is said that he possesses the terrifying raising ability to significantly improve Pokémon strength and quickly cultivate a team of main forces after taking over as the Viridian Gym Leader.

And this is exactly what he needs most right now.

Looking at the notebook in his hand that had some creases and was clearly flipped through repeatedly by people, Qingyu couldn't help but nod.

Looks like it's still first-hand? Blue's used 99% new?

"This is the experience of the Raising Expert; learning it is earning it!"

Thinking this, Qingyu flipped the notebook to the first page.

Just looking at the table of contents, one could clearly feel the care put into the content.

Not only did it thoughtfully classify Pokémon, but it also listed detailed raising guides for many Pokémon from diet to training.

It's simply a work of art!

Of course, limited by the reason that Blue is a Kanto person, his notes only recorded some Pokémon in the Kanto Pokedex.

Fortunately, because Eevee is distributed in all major regions, Blue's raising notes happen to have a raising guide for Eevee.

Thinking about it carefully, it's quite reasonable.

After all, if it gave him something he couldn't use for the time being, then this system would be too useless!

Flip the notebook to the pages recording Eevee.

Blue specifically marked a small line of text at the beginning; he actually hadn't raised Eevee, so this part of the content was the result he finally obtained based on observing Professor Oak's and another friend's raising methods.

"Blue's friend? Could it be Red..."

In Qingyu's mind, a figure wearing a duck-billed cap with a Pikachu standing on his shoulder appeared subconsciously.

Red's Eevee seems to be even more "illegal" than his own?

I have to sit up and watch this!

"Eevee is a very special Pokémon; its existence itself is a miracle."

"Pokémon with branching evolution potential are actually not rare, but like Eevee, which still hasn't explored all its evolutionary potential, it's the only one."

With just a few strokes, Blue stated the biggest characteristic of this Pokémon, Eevee—

Because its genes are not stable, Eevee has different branching evolutions in different environments, and there may even be evolutionary directions not yet discovered.

"Truly worthy of being Blue, as expected, reliable."

Looking at Eevee sleeping on the pillow, Qingyu nodded and continued to flip through it.

"If it were other Pokémon, the combat sense piled up by a large number of battles in its childhood is crucial, almost determining its strength ceiling."

"But Eevee is the only exception; what determines its combat power is not strength, but a state that is difficult to describe."

"According to my observations, it is difficult to improve Eevee's strength before evolution, but there are many cases of significant progress after evolution."

"More importantly, intimacy with the Trainer also seems to be a key factor in strength improvement."

"Therefore, we can conclude:"

"For Eevee's Trainer, focusing on cultivating the feelings between the two is far better than forcing it to battle."

"Hiss—"

After reading Blue's notes, Qingyu couldn't help but gasp.

Fortunately, he didn't let Eevee go to the wild to level up on its first trip, otherwise wouldn't he be finished?

Blue's words are very reasonable, and there is very detailed data support, which is clearly a very scientific point of view.

It's just that...

Didn't expect that his subconscious choice actually happened to coincide with Blue's?

The Raising Expert is actually myself?

After learning Blue's raising techniques about Eevee, Qingyu glanced at the little Eevee snoring comfortably at the head of the bed and quickly reached the following raising plan—

Let nature take its course.

Since it's difficult to improve strength, let's look to the future and aim for evolution.

Among Eevee's currently known evolutionary forms, Espeon, Umbreon, and Sylveon are all closely related to intimacy/friendliness.

If Blue's point of view is true, building a deeper bond with Eevee earlier is indeed the best choice at the moment.

Before evolution, use the Sketch it just learned to raise it, play some unconventional dirty routines, and it should be enough to deal with ordinary Gym challengers.

As for what form it will evolve into in the future, it depends on Eevee's own choice.

Early the next morning.

Releasing Eevee, who rolled into his arms at some point, Qingyu woke up from his dream.

He subconsciously touched his phone from the nightstand and clicked into PokéTV, intending to watch some good videos before getting up.

Although it's not a very good habit, if he doesn't reward his diligent self before getting up, he feels like he has no energy all day.

However...

As soon as he clicked into the app, he was instantly dumbfounded.

What's the situation?

Why is it 999+ in the upper right corner?

I wouldn't have been cyber-bullied after waking up, right?!
