Jubilife Breeding Center.
The popularity boost from the [I Really Didn’t Want to Be a Content Creator] mission reward was likely starting to show its effects.
Aside from Lily and Nami, Comrade Leon and Comrade Wendy had received four orders this morning.
Three of them were for fostering, requiring the teaching of new moves, and one even requested raising it until evolution.
These three were major orders, and a great opportunity to expand the Breeding Center’s reputation.
“Then we’ll be heading off now.”
After finishing lunch together, Lily took Nami and left.
Comrade Wendy waved goodbye: “Drive carefully!”
After leaving the Breeding Center, Nami couldn’t help but exclaim:
“It’s one thing to be handsome, but he can also breed Pokémon and cook?”
…
After finishing their lunch, the Lucario and the others ran off to play.
Levi had conducted a speed test on Lucario that morning.
After consuming the Speed Booster (Power Version), Lucario’s speed had increased significantly, and even its Extreme Speed was faster than before.
Metang had eaten the metal coat.
Levi estimated that once it fully digested the energy from the metal coat, it would evolve into Metagross.
Levi didn’t go to see Lily and the others off; he was editing the second video and researching the breeding plan on the side.
The first of the four orders had already been completed.
It was for a Butterfree participating in the Jubilife Contest tomorrow, customizing a meal to make it look more beautiful.
For specific requests like this, Levi felt it was a piece of cake.
After asking about its taste preferences, Levi simply prepared a batch of Beauty-enhancing Nomel Berry Pokéblocks.
The client left satisfied, and he received his first anonymous positive review, bringing the mission progress to (6/100).
Now, only the Feebas that needed to evolve, the Cubone that needed to learn Dig, and the Crobat that needed to learn Aerial Ace remained.
Comrade Leon was responsible for teaching the moves, while Levi was responsible for the Feebas’s evolution.
Levi titled the edited, dual-angle instructional video [Trainer Career Guidance 02: Pokémon Hair Management].
“I am only using Glameow and Delcatty as demonstrations here, but many of the techniques are universal.”
Levi interspersed some narration.
“If it really doesn’t work, I suggest taking them to a Breeding Center to solve the problem; the Jubilife Breeding Center welcomes you.”
He added a nice advertisement at the end and finished it off.
The video went into review, and Levi switched to his desktop, creating a new folder titled Feebas Breeding Plan”.
There are two ways for Feebas to evolve.
One is trade evolution while holding a Prism Scale.
The other is evolving when its Beauty reaches a certain level.
The Feebas’s Trainer requested Beauty-based evolution.
The breeding and evolution of the Feebas was set to be the subject of Levi’s third video.
After Feebas evolves, it transforms into Milotic, said to be the most beautiful Pokémon.
Levi reserved his judgment on that.
Gardevoir and Diancie might have something to say about it.
The Feebas that Levi needed to train had some significant issues; it was very insecure and afraid of people.
When Levi just glanced at it that morning, the Feebas immediately hid in the rockery of the fish pond.
Levi had already instructed Lucario and the others not to disturb it for the time being, letting the Feebas adjust first.
Levi was 100% certain that the Feebas had suffered psychological trauma, and this trauma likely came from humans.
Besides feeding it food to increase its Beauty, he also had to make it confident.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Feebas to evolve.
Treating this Feebas, Levi had to handle it like a priceless piece of porcelain, caring for it meticulously.
While Levi was researching how to restore the Feebas’s confidence, the recruitment process had already begun.
Knock, knock—the office door was tapped.
“Please come in.”
“Hello, both of you.
I am Mizuki, and I’m here for the interview.”
Mizuki had warm brown, capable short hair, wore a slim trench coat and shorts—a person who preferred style over warmth.
When Mizuki said her name, Comrade Leon and Comrade Wendy recognized it immediately.
Mizuki had submitted her resume before coming.
Comrade Wendy set the printed resume aside.
“Please introduce yourself briefly, and tell us why you left your previous Breeding Center?”
They had already reviewed Mizuki’s situation; they mainly wanted to hear the answer to the second question.
“I took the Intermediate Breeder exam in the same batch as your son, Levi, and I passed with a total score of 80 points across two rounds.”
“The reason for leaving is simple: workplace harassment and many non-compliant, even illegal, practices.”
Prescribing medicine indiscriminately, abusing low-quality berries, forcing breeding while ignoring the Pokémon’s physical condition…
Mizuki listed the crimes of the previous Breeding Center.
These were indeed illegal activities.
“I believe you both know that Pokémon cannot breed continuously; they are not breeding machines.
Normally, they should have at most two litters a year, and breeding for five to six years is about the limit to ensure the next generation’s physical constitution.
Beyond this number, the Pokémon born are either weak and sickly or have poor potential.”
Wendy nodded: “You are absolutely right.”
This situation exists because it can drastically reduce costs. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
The Pokémon world is generally bright, but there are always people who take risks for profit.
Immediately after, Mizuki vividly recounted how she had secretly collected evidence and anonymously reported the Breeding Center.
[My good sister…
you are at an interview, telling us that you anonymously reported a Breeding Center.]
Comrade Wendy was truly speechless.
[Doesn’t sound like she’s into breeding; sounds more like she’s in intelligence and espionage.]
Comrade Leon’s train of thought was drifting further and further away.
If it were another Breeding Center, hearing that Mizuki was so aggressive, they would definitely not dare to hire her.
Because you never know when she might report you.
This was a person with a grudge list.
However, Leon and Wendy needed such talent—capable, loving toward Pokémon, and responsible.
The old man always emphasized: “If you eat from this bowl, you cannot help the evildoer.”
Levi’s family kept this saying in their hearts.
This was also their original intention for opening the Breeding Center.
Wendy stood up and sincerely reached out to Mizuki:
“Welcome to the Jubilife Breeding Center.
I hope we can work together to build an ideal Breeding Center.”
Mizuki quickly reached out and shook hands with Wendy.
“I believe so.
I thoroughly researched you before submitting my resume, and I can tell from your son as well.”
Leon took all the credit, patting his chest with a proud look: “That’s because my son takes after me!”
Wendy introduced the Breeding Center’s environment and accommodation conditions to Mizuki.
In addition to the building where Levi and the others lived, there was another building for staff dormitories.
“I’ll go back to pack my things and come to start work tomorrow.”
After Mizuki, a big, hulking figure walked in.
When entering, he accidentally bumped his head.
Comrade Leon exclaimed involuntarily: “A human Machamp!”
Comrade Wendy rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to complain.
“Ah, no, we aren’t hiring bodyguards here.”
Dayou smiled slightly:
“No, I’m here to apply for the position of Breeder.”
Maybe it’s not a big deal now… maybe it will be later.
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
