Thank you 🙂 ——————– Chase packed up all the satiating Pokeblocks stored in the warehouse—specially meant for Pokemon with huge appetites—for the Zigzagoon to take with them.
None of the Pokemon on his side liked eating this stuff anyway, so doing them a favor was perfectly fine.
Besides, there were still plenty of ripe Berries in the forest right now.
If needed, Chase could go forage for materials and make more at any time.
“Are these…
satiating Pokeblocks?” Officer Jenny Violet recognized what Chase had brought over at a glance.
“Why would you have this kind of thing in stock?” As the name implied, the reason satiating Pokeblocks could fill up a big eater with just a few pieces was at the expense of texture and taste.
Otherwise, if they were made too delicious, believe it or not, those gluttonous Pokemon would still scarf down three more bowls even after they were full.
Therefore, unless they had no other choice, most ordinary Pokemon would absolutely not touch them.
Facing Officer Jenny Violet’s question, Chase smiled and said, “I made these Pokeblocks casually during my daily practice.
I was actually just wondering what to do with them, so it’s perfect to give them to these little guys.” “I see.
I didn’t expect Mr.
Chase to have such exquisite craftsmanship.
The Pokemon here are truly lucky to have such a treat.” Officer Jenny Violet looked at the several large boxes of Pokeblocks in her hands, a faint glimmer in her eyes.
As a veteran Trainer, she could tell at a glance that the quality of these Pokeblocks was exceptionally high.
If they were sold in a Pokemon shop, they would definitely be placed in the premium section.
The only pity was that the variety of Berries used to make these Pokeblocks wasn’t very wide, and none of them were particularly rare, resulting in a final grade that was only passable.
But if they were actually offered to eat, even her own Corviknight probably wouldn’t refuse them.
After all, who wouldn’t love a delicious little snack?
“Eh?
Violet, are the Pokeblocks Chase made really that impressive?” Seeing Officer Jenny Violet give such high praise, Officer Jenny Lina couldn’t help but ask.
Officer Jenny Violet looked somewhat helplessly at this young junior and let out an imperceptible sigh.
“If you want to know, it depends on whether Mr.
Chase is willing to do a little business with us.” Officer Jenny Violet smiled softly, and Chase immediately caught her drift.
“What are you saying, Miss Violet?
We have a saying in the Far East region: ‘a guest is a guest.’ They’re just some Pokeblocks.
If you two like them, take a few boxes back for your Pokemon to try.
It would be even better if you could give me some feedback along the way.” Talking about business or whatever would just seem too distant, wouldn’t it?
Having started life as an orphan and still managing to grow up safe and sound, even if Chase were a pig, he would still know a thing or two about social etiquette and the ways of the world.
Back in school, when others called him aloof or antisocial, it was simply because he felt those people weren’t worth forming deep connections with.
Naturally, it was different when it came to the two Officer Jennys.
Chase didn’t dare to hope that a few boxes of Pokeblocks would be enough to hook him up with the Jenny family’s connections.
However, as they were one of the two deeply rooted major families in the Pokemon world, he naturally had to try his best to get on their good side if the opportunity arose.
“Then we’ll graciously accept.” Before Officer Jenny Lina could speak, Officer Jenny Violet preemptively agreed.
While Chase went to fetch the Pokeblocks, Officer Jenny Lina looked at Officer Jenny Violet with confusion.
“Violet, the family rules strictly forbid us from privately accepting gifts from others.
Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for us to do this?” “Of course I know.” Officer Jenny Violet gently brushed a strand of hair aside, revealing a meaningful smile.
“But the main purpose of that rule is to prevent people with ulterior motives from trying to cling to the family’s coattails.” “But if someone is truly a talent, the family has never turned them away at the door.” Seeing that Officer Jenny Lina still didn’t quite understand, Officer Jenny Violet had no choice but to continue explaining, “You told me yesterday that the poacher was defeated almost unscathed by this young man named Chase, who used a wild Zangoose to beat his three Pokemon.” “The other two aside, I’ve seen that Shiftry.
It was raised very well.
Even if an average Trainer went up against it with their carefully nurtured starter Pokemon from childhood, they would still have a hard time coming out on top.” Saying this, Officer Jenny Violet even cast a glance at the junior beside her.
“Even if it were you, I’m afraid you’d only be able to suppress it by relying on your advantage in the number of Pokemon.” “What?
Chase is that impressive?!” Officer Jenny Lina opened her mouth wide in disbelief.
When she arrived at the scene yesterday, everything was already said and done.
Plus, the Zangoose following Chase at the time had virtually no visible injuries, so she hadn’t really thought the poacher was all that strong.
However, this couldn’t entirely be blamed on Officer Jenny Lina.
After all, less than a day had passed since the incident, and the Shiftry had been restrained the entire time.
Unless it was a highly experienced Trainer like Officer Jenny Violet, it would be very difficult to gauge its approximate strength at a glance.
“But if Chase really has such amazing talent, why would he choose to leave his hometown and come to the Sinnoh League to be a Ranger?” Officer Jenny Lina suddenly thought of a question.
“Lina, you have to understand that sometimes talent alone doesn’t determine everything,” Officer Jenny Violet said meaningfully.
“In my eyes, this young man is actually very self-aware.” “Rather than taking a school-issued starter Pokemon and wasting his life away, he might as well come to the Sinnoh League and take a gamble.” “By the time his term ends and he obtains a status equivalent to being a core member of the Sinnoh League, the ceiling he can reach will definitely be much higher than before.” “The price for all of this is merely ten years of time.
At his age, he can afford to take the gamble, and he also has no other choice.” Seeing Officer Jenny Lina looking dumbfounded, Officer Jenny Violet added the final point, “And don’t forget, the Sinnoh League has never forbidden him from catching Pokemon in this forest.” “In such a massive forest, over ten years’ time, as long as he isn’t just aiming to slack off and wait for death, he should be able to catch at least one or two Pokemon with good potential, right?
Moreover, he doesn’t have to pay for all the resources to raise them out of his own pocket.” After thoroughly analyzing Chase’s motives and actions, Officer Jenny Violet steered the conversation back to the Pokeblocks.
“He’s just an ordinary orphan with a clean background.
Even if he had the information left behind by Mr.
Grey, the previous Ranger stationed here, the fact that he can craft Pokeblocks of this quality in just a few months shows that his talent in this area is just as impressive.” Officer Jenny Violet didn’t say anything further, and Officer Jenny Lina finally revealed a look of sudden realization.
“So, Violet, you mean to recruit him for the family?” “Recruit is too strong a word for now.
He’s not the only person in this world whose talent has been buried, and no one knows how things will turn out in the future.
Right now, we just need to offer him some appropriate help and build a good relationship.” ——————————————————
