Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

The next morning, in the classroom of the trainer school.

The morning class was a Pokémon breeding class. The teacher was a white-haired old man named Zong Sheng. He was also a senior senior breeder and had a certain status in the breeder world. It was said that he was hired by the school at a high price.

Feng held his chin and watched boredly, thinking about the information given to him by Nishikawa Aoi and wondering where to start. Although he had rich experience in assassinations, he still had to make thorough preparations this time.

Kapok and Nianla, who were beside him, lost interest in the class content as soon as the class started and their eyelids started to droop.

In their minds, isn't training just the job of the Pokémon? How could Pokémon train themselves? What would Trainers do then? This class was just a chance to catch up on some sleep.

The old man, Munemori, hunched over, walked up to the podium. He first introduced himself, then slowly said, "You are all here to become trainers. You must be curious why the school arranges training classes."

"The battles of skill and tactics you see in various Pokémon tournaments are exciting on the surface, but they all have a common foundation—that is, raising your own Pokémon well enough."

Afterward, Mr. Zongsheng took out two bags of different food from his space bracelet and said to the students, "Both are high-caliber Pokémon. One only eats general store-bought food that can fill its stomach, while the other eats carefully formulated, proprietary Pokémon food. The difference in strength between the two may not be apparent at low levels, but the higher the level, the more obvious the difference becomes, and it will be one of the key factors in determining victory or defeat."

"In this class, I will teach you how to recognize your own Pokémon, and how to easily determine and mix food suitable for your Pokémon."

After hearing what the teacher said, Feng immediately perked up. Breeding happened to be Feng's weak point. At present, Feng needed an exclusive elf food and an elf potion that could assist in training.

Feng had no idea about the former, as this was the reason he came to school, but he was simply reluctant to buy the latter.

The potion Xiao Ling sent had been used up long ago. Not counting the carbon servant in the egg, there were currently six people who needed to be fed, including Feng himself. With more people, there were more mouths to feed, and the burden of expenses increased immediately.

Although Feng still has some spare money now, he does not have a stable source of income. Once he spends a lot of money on expensive elf potions, he will probably fall into the embarrassing situation of spending more than he earns.

It would be difficult to "return to the old business" and buy for free at that time. Elite trainers don't have much savings, and gym leaders are at risk of failure if they are not careful. But... Pokémon trainers don't want to fall too far behind others.

It’s so difficult…

Just as Feng was worrying about money, some students in the class raised their hands to ask Mr. Zong Sheng: "Teacher, my Pokémon's food is all prepared by the breeder at home, so can we skip this part?"

"?"

Is this human talk?

Feng was so angry when he heard this that he almost couldn't control his expression. You have money but others don't. I also want to hear how to configure Pokémon food!

But the speeches of his classmates afterwards made him feel as if he was in a different world from others.

"Teacher, my parents said that I don't need to take care of Pokémon breeding. I just need to command the battles."

"Yes, teacher, we don't need to learn how to cultivate it ourselves, we can just pay a breeder to come."

"Trainers should just focus on training and fighting. Raising is the job of the breeder."

Only a few students had this idea. Several other students raised their hands to agree with the student who had just said that, hoping that the teacher could talk about something else.

"Everyone be quiet for a moment."

Teacher Zong Sheng raised his hand and pressed down a few times, then spoke calmly.

Suddenly, no one in the class spoke anymore. Everyone wanted to hear what the old educator invited by the school had to say.

Munemori didn't answer the question directly, but instead asked, "Do you know how breeders choose Pokémon food?"

"Developmental status?"

"Attributes?"

Several students in the audience raised their hands and answered.

“Yes, but not completely.”

Munemori nodded and then shook his head. "To be more precise, it's the Pokémon's detailed information, including its external physical characteristics at each stage, as well as its internal personality and other factors."

"These factors are not only important to cultivate in daily life, but they are also key elements that cannot be ignored during battles. They determine their tactical positioning in your team, whether it is main attack, support, or other."

Hearing this, Feng couldn't help but think of his own smart Gyarados, the good and obedient Luna, the two cunning little guys Kapok and Nianla, and the Shield Blade who always accompanied him.

Gyarados and Ursagi are constantly going up and down on the battlefield. Their fighting style is a reckless type, using intimidation and tension to charge directly. They are impulsive and easily lose their temper, so Feng is needed to command them at critical moments.

Xianla and Kapok Ball are a roving assassin and a control assistant respectively. Both of them are smart and cunning, and have their own understanding of combat. Feng can provide them with tactical training so that they can have their own combat thinking.

The last Shield Blade Monster and Feng can be seen as one. The Shield Blade Monster's high-powered skills combined with Feng's comprehensive general skills can not only face the wave head-on, but also appear out of nowhere to launch sneak attacks, becoming a core in the battle.

The elder, Munemori, paused briefly to give the students time to digest his thoughts, then continued, "So the cultivation and training of Pokémon are inseparable. If you want to train a powerful Pokémon, the first thing you need to do is understand it."

"Know its strengths and weaknesses, its preferences, and its personality. For example, some Pokémon excel at physical attacks, so you should focus on that when training. Other Pokémon are excellent at both physical and special attacks, so you need to determine a specific route for them and create food and training plans accordingly."

Some students in the audience were still confused, while others suddenly understood and decided to learn to raise their own Pokémon and learn more about them.

At this time, Feng raised his hand, intending to take this opportunity to ask a question that had always been unclear to him.

"The student sitting in the back, do you have any questions?" Zong Sheng looked at Feng and said.

"Teacher, I'd like to ask what the difference is between the exclusive Pokémon food made by breeders and the generic Pokémon food sold in stores? How do they specifically affect Pokémon?"

Hearing Feng's question, Zong Sheng glanced at the dozing Xianla sitting next to him and said with a smile, "Haha, let's play a game and you'll understand. This is also what I'm going to talk about next."
