Because Ronan had not promoted the breeding center and only posted a notice on the Aoba Breeding Center’s official website to open the sales channel, not many people had noticed.
Besides, there weren’t many trainers in Aoba Town; the sales of Pokémon eggs mostly relied on traveling adventurers.
This was also because Ronan hadn’t released news about offering Pokémon with Green potential.
Otherwise, while it might not have been so crowded as to have the doorstep broken down, it would definitely have attracted many trainers.
Even though Ronan could now provide several Pokémon with Green potential, in his vision, those would mainly be species like Hoppip and Shroomish.
Once he had the time, he could look for Shroomish and Yanma populations.
That way, his breeding center would have two more signature Pokémon species.
As for his own Petilil and Budew, given their rarity and value in the Hoenn region, Ronan planned to only sell one every three months.
Despite the significant population of Petilil and Budew, the proportion of those with Green potential or higher was still less than half, and even that was the result of careful breeding by several generations of Ronan’s ancestors.
Although Ronan intended to open the channel for purchasing Green-potential Pokémon on the website later, for now, he had only posted a general sales announcement, which hadn’t attracted much attention.
As a result, Ronan hadn’t sold a single Pokémon egg yet.
Even though it was only the first day, the boredom had already led him to sprawl across the table and start dozing off.
Just as Ronan was on the verge of sleep, the crisp ring of the doorbell sounded.
The clear chime instantly swept away every trace of his drowsiness.
“Hello, welcome to the Aoba Breeding Center.
How can I help you?” From outside, Mrs.
Celia saw a child whose head was nodding as if he might fall asleep at any moment.
The interior of the breeding center looked incredibly cozy and inviting, and combined with the warmth of the sun, it was enough to make anyone feel lazy.
She had originally planned to look at the cute Pokémon and take a short break, but she hadn’t expected to startle the sleeping Ronan.
Seeing his youthful face, Mrs.
Celia felt an inexplicable pang of guilt.
If Ronan had known what the lady was thinking, he would likely have marveled at how soft-hearted she was.
Mrs.
Celia felt a bit awkward, but then she thought that even though she wasn’t a trainer, buying a Pokémon as a companion would be a lovely idea.
With that in mind, she began to browse the breeding center with a clear conscience.
As she looked around, Mrs.
Celia was surprised by the high potential of the Pokémon eggs.
Such quality was rare in a small place like Aoba Town.
Mrs.
Celia had previously worked as a sales manager for a large shopping mall under the Devon Corporation in Rustboro City.
Once she had saved enough money, she moved to the beautiful, slow-paced Aoba Town.
Having been a sales manager, her eye for quality was far superior to most.
While she couldn’t compare to a professional breeder, she had her own methods of appraisal.
That was how she could recognize the superior quality of these Pokémon eggs.
Noticing her surprise, Ronan explained, “These Pokémon eggs all have Yellow potential.
They’re not just great pets; with some training, they’ll have enough strength to handle unexpected situations.” Hearing Ronan’s words, Mrs.
Celia nodded in agreement.
Even under the League’s jurisdiction, absolute safety wasn’t guaranteed, and wild Pokémon attacks occurred every year.
Even in cities, there were many strays.
Most had been abandoned by their trainers, leading them to harbor resentment toward humans.
Mrs.
Celia had once nearly been attacked by a Pokémon trying to steal her food.
If Officer Jenny hadn’t arrived in time, she probably would have spent quite a while in the hospital.
Mrs.
Celia browsed through the selection and eventually chose a Buneary egg.
Buneary wasn’t common in the Hoenn region, being native to Sinnoh.
A Normal-type Buneary evolves into Lopunny, which is also Normal-type but can learn many Fighting-type moves.
Upon Mega Evolving, Lopunny becomes a Normal and Fighting-type.
With a base speed of 135 and a base attack of 136, Mega Lopunny was a formidable physical attacker.
Although the Buneary she chose only had Yellow potential, it would easily be able to handle average Pokémon after some training.
Besides, Buneary’s appearance was exactly the kind of “cute” that Mrs.
Celia adored.
After selecting the egg and some Pokémon food, Mrs.
Celia left with her new companion inside an incubator.
Ronan was delighted.
Although she hadn’t bought a massive amount, a single Buneary egg had sold for 20,000 League Coins.
Combined with the other items, it was a solid income.
Moreover, this was Ronan’s very first business deal, making it feel special to him.
Perhaps Mrs.
Celia had brought him good luck, as Ronan sold several more eggs over the following days.
The reputation of the Aoba Breeding Center began to grow bit by bit.
