You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 8: The person who nurtured me was actually myself?
Sketching.

The special skill that made Tutu dogs famous.

Thanks to this incredibly sneaky move, Smeargle, with its base stats at the bottom of the Pokédex, has consistently remained a popular Pokémon in battles.

The effect of sketching is also very simple and direct: copy the moves used by the opponent into your own moves.

They can even steal most of the unique moves of legendary beasts.

The true root of all evil.

How could there be such an evil Pokémon as Smeargle!
But then again, what if my Eevee learned Smeargle's signature move, "Sketching"...?

It seems we've also found another "unique feature" of their Sunshine Dojo!

However, Qingyu's understanding of sketching was basically limited to the games of her previous life.

Whether it can produce such an outrageous effect in reality remains to be seen.

And Ibrahimovic sketches, is that legal...?

While Qingyu was questioning the legitimacy of his Eevee, Special Forces Eevee had already returned to his loyal Sunny Gym.

"Buy?"

Eevee felt a sudden dizziness, and instinctively closed his eyes. When he opened them again, Qingyu was already standing in front of him.

Upon reuniting with its trainer, the little guy immediately became excited, constantly making "bu-i-bu-i" sounds, as if sharing its travel experiences.

Although Aoba couldn't understand Pokémon's language, it didn't stop him from feeling Eevee's excitement.

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

Qingyu smiled.

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

Those 50 growth points were totally worth it.

Next time I get points from the system, I'll let Ibu go explore other regions.

"Buyi~(≧≦)ゞ"

Eevee laughed heartily, but as it laughed, its stomach suddenly emitted a long, loud rumbling sound.

The little guy immediately shrank into a ball, embarrassed, and stared intently at Qingyu with his irresistibly cute, starry eyes.

"Going out to play must be tiring, right?"

Qingyu stroked its fluffy little head; she was actually a little hungry herself while waiting for it to come back.

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

……

Late at night, Qingyu sat on the bed, gently stroking the Eevee curled up in a ball and sleeping peacefully at the head of the bed, her gaze focused on a few lines of small words in front of her.

[For you, reborn, training Pokémon is no longer a challenge, thanks to the influence of your wife from your previous life.]

Under your command, Ibuxi, who was traveling, quickly made a visible improvement.

Yes, it's definitely a noticeable improvement.

Without this travel training system, I would never believe that Eevee could learn to sketch...

This is so overpowered!
Qingyu thought to herself, then continued to look down.

[Task: Use the Travel Training feature to accelerate the Pokémon training process. (Completed)]

[Reward: Blue Pokémon Breeding Guide for the Breeder]

The main event is coming!
Qingyu lightly touched the screen, and soon a thick stack of notebooks appeared in her palm.

Bluegrass, whose full name is Bluegrass, is the rival of the protagonist in the first generation of Pokémon games and one of the main characters in the special manga.

In the manga, each Pokédex holder (the main character) has their own unique traits. Blue, whom Professor Oak calls the "Nurturer," is naturally skilled in nurturing.

He is said to possess a terrifying ability to significantly enhance the strength of Pokémon and to quickly train a team of mainstays after taking over as the Gym Leader of Viridian.

And that's exactly what I need right now.

Looking at the slightly creased notebook in his hand, which clearly had been frequently flipped through, Qingyu couldn't help but nod.

Looks like it's brand new? A 99% new, personally used piece in green?
"These are the insights and experiences of those who nurture talent; learning from them is a real gain!"

Thinking this, Qingyu turned to the first page of the notebook.

Just by looking at the table of contents, you can clearly feel the care put into the content.

Not only does it thoughtfully categorize Pokémon, but it also provides detailed breeding guides for many Pokémon, covering everything from diet to training. It's practically a work of art!

Of course, due to his being a Kanto native, his notebook only recorded some of the Pokémon in the Kanto Pokédex.

Fortunately, since Eevee is distributed across various regions, there happens to be a breeding guide for Eevee in the Green Breeding Notes.

Upon closer reflection, it makes quite a bit of sense.

After all, if the system gives you things you don't need right now, then it's pretty useless!
Turn to the pages in the notebook that mention Ibrahimovic.

Qinglv specifically added a small note at the beginning: he had never actually bred Eevee before, so this part was the result of his observation of Professor Oak and another friend's breeding methods.

"A friend of green? Could it be crimson...?"

An image of a person wearing a baseball cap and with a Pikachu standing on their shoulder unconsciously appeared in Qingyu's mind.

The red Eevee seems even more illegitimate than mine?

I need to sit up and see!

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

"It's not uncommon for Pokémon to have the potential for branching evolution, but Eevee is unique in that its full evolutionary potential has not yet been discovered."

With just a few strokes, the vibrant green perfectly captures the most striking characteristic of Eevee—

Because its genes are not stable, Eevee has evolved in different branches under different environments, and there may even be evolutionary directions that have not yet been discovered.

"As expected of Qinglv, it is indeed reliable."

Looking at the sleeping Eevee beside her, Qingyu nodded and continued reading.

"For other Pokémon, the battle sense developed through numerous battles in their early years is crucial and almost determines their upper limit of strength."

"But Eevee is an exception. Its fighting power is not determined by strength, but by an indescribable state."

"Based on my observation, Eevee's strength is difficult to improve before evolution, but there are many cases of significant improvement after evolution."

"More importantly, the level of intimacy with the trainer also seems to be a key factor in improving strength."

Therefore, we can conclude that:

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

"hiss--"

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

Thankfully, I didn't let Eevee train in the wild on our first trip, or I would have blown it up!
Qinglu's point is very valid, and it is supported by very detailed data, making it a clearly scientific viewpoint.

only……

Who would have thought that his subconscious choice would coincide with Qinglu's idea?

The one who nurtured me was actually myself?
After learning Qinglu's breeding techniques for Eevee, Qingyu glanced at the little Eevee snoring comfortably by the bedside and quickly devised the next breeding plan—

Go with the flow.

Since improving our strength is difficult, let's focus on the future and aim for evolution.

Of Eevee's known evolutionary forms, Espeon, Umbreon, and Sylveon are all closely related to friendship level.

If Qinglv's view is true, establishing a deeper bond with Ibrahimovic as soon as possible is indeed the best option at present.

Before it evolves, use its newly learned sketching skill to train it and use some unconventional, dirty tricks; that should be enough to deal with ordinary gym challengers.

As for what form it will evolve into in the future, that's up to Eevee's own choice.

……

Early the next morning.

Releasing Eevee, which had somehow rolled into her arms, Aoba woke up from her dream.

He subconsciously reached for his phone on the bedside table, opened Poko TV, and planned to watch some entertaining videos before getting out of bed.

Although it's not a good habit, I always feel listless all day if I don't reward myself for being diligent before getting out of bed.

however……

He was immediately dumbfounded as soon as he opened the app.

what's the situation?
Why is there 999+ in the top right corner?
What if I wake up one morning to find myself being cyberbullied?!
