Outside the room.
At this moment, Comrade Leon, Da You, Machamp, Incineroar...
And Rui Xi, whom Li Wei hadn't expected, was also there, with Glameow perched on the windowsill.
They were full of stealth, observing in secret.
Feeling their gazes, Qinglv felt as if he had thorns in his back, a fishbone in his throat, and was sitting on pins and needles.
"Let them in."
Li Wei, who opened the door, asked, "What are you doing?"
Leon and Da You pretended to be passing by, whistling nonchalantly.
Incineroar and Machamp also followed suit.
If Li Wei and Qinglv hadn't already discovered them, Li Wei would have almost believed them.
Instead, Rui Xi was the most honest.
"Actually, I wanted to ask that question."
"I'm learning Breeder knowledge from Senior Qinglv."
Qinglv was four years older than Li Wei and was also a senior in Pokemon breeding.
Rui Xi's hand, which was holding her glasses, paused, her eyes filled with envy, "You have such a good life."
It's... pretty good.
Well, Li Wei, who had the system, really couldn't refute that.
Hearing the conversation between Li Wei and Rui Xi, Qinglv also walked out, "This is?"
"Rui Xi, Da You, both are Breeders and also love Pokemon very much."
Qinglv glanced at Incineroar and Glameow.
Then he looked at Da You and Rui Xi and chuckled slightly.
Qinglv did not reject anyone who truly loved Pokemon and was willing to teach them.
"Come in together."
Da You and Rui Xi exchanged glances, flattered.
Especially Da You, he directly trembled all over...
"I got goosebumps!"
"..."
Qinglv suddenly regretted it a little.
"Then you all study hard, I'm leaving first."
Comrade Leon nodded to Li Wei,
with an expression that said, 'It's all up to you.'
If Li Wei learned it, it was equivalent to Leon learning it.
He didn't need to crowd in here too.
This room already had Rhyperior and Metagross, which took up a lot of space, and Da You was no slouch either.
Adding another Leon would make it too crowded.
A farce ended.
Qinglv said with a serious face, "You guys watch first."
Li Wei took out the citrus basil essential oil and gave Rhyperior joint care.
Rui Xi and Da You were taking notes on the side.
There was also ShinnyMetagross, who had super self-learning ability.
Qinglv patted his old partner and said with a smile, "Rhyperior, how is it?"
"Woo!"
Rhyperior raised its arms and roared excitedly.
"Very good, Rhyperior is very satisfied."
...
An afternoon passed, and Qinglv actually taught for four hours, truly a workaholic.
Qinglv was very satisfied with Li Wei, Rui Xi, and Da You, feeling a thrill of discovery.
Qinglv's mindset was somewhat similar to Professor Oak's, hoping to impart as much as possible to them.
Glancing at his phone, Qinglv said to Da You and Rui Xi, "We still have some things to talk about, let's continue tomorrow morning at eight."
"Understood! Leaving immediately!"
Da You and Incineroar, one on the left and one on the right, lifted Rui Xi and carried her away.
They're gone, they're gone!
"I can walk myself!"
"Meow!"
Glameow quickly chased after them.
After leaving the room, Da You curiously asked, "How much did you learn this afternoon?"
Rui Xi hesitated, "Three points, I guess? Mr. Qinglv's Breeder knowledge is too solid; without a good foundation, one can't achieve thorough comprehension. How about you?"
"About the same..."
Da You also got three points, but out of a hundred.
As Rui Xi said, his foundational knowledge was the weakest among the three of them.
Rui Xi noticed Da You's embarrassment.
"I have a few Breeder notebooks here, all my own notes. You can take them to copy."
"Thank you so much! I'm so touched!!!" Da You and Incineroar hugged each other, tears streaming down their faces...
Rui Xi's mouth twitched.
"Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?"
On the other side, inside the room.
Looking at Qinglv's serious expression, Li Wei asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
Qinglv handed his phone to Li Wei.
"See for yourself."
Li Wei finished reading the long text.
In one sentence, to summarize:
Feebas no longer had a Trainer.
Feebas's Trainer was a deeply hidden Pokemon poacher with multiple fake identities.
He was pursued while illegally poaching Shieldon in Mount Coronet Foothills.
During his escape by car, he went down a mountain with a field and directly 'See You Again'd.
Full tank downhill without slowing down, I'm Aritian, remember that.
Jenny traced him by thoroughly investigating the fake identity he left behind.
Finally, a high-definition camera photo was attached.
This was an ordinary middle-aged man in terms of appearance and height.
If one hadn't known beforehand, they would never have guessed he was a poacher.
"How is it? Is it him?"
Li Wei shook his head, "I haven't seen Feebas's Trainer. I need my dad to see."
Comrade Leon quickly nodded, "It's him, it's him, our surveillance caught him!"
Qinglv nodded, "Please check the surveillance to confirm."
The poacher came on the morning of the first day of business, so he was easy to find. Leon quickly pulled up the video.
"Look, it's him!"
After comparing, Qinglv nodded, "Indeed, that's correct then. Can you copy this video for me?"
"No problem! But I don't know how!"
Although he didn't know how, his voice was loud.
"I'll do it."
Li Wei helped copy it to Qinglv's phone.
"What do you want this video for?"
Qinglv sent the video to Jenny.
"To explain Feebas's identity."
Qinglv suggested, "Since Feebas no longer has a Trainer, let's keep Feebas here for now."
Qinglv did not ask for Li Wei and Leon's opinions; he knew Li Wei and the others would not refuse.
Li Wei nodded, "Of course, its current state is also not suitable for release."
Moreover, Li Wei had no intention of releasing it.
Li Wei planned to train Feebas himself, raising it until it regained its confidence and evolved.
As for Feebas's fate, he would leave it up to itself.
Qinglv, with his arms crossed, smiled slightly, "Very good, Feebas can also be a breeding topic."
"On the Restoration of Confidence—From Feebas to Milotic"
As a Breeder, Qinglv's conversations constantly revolved around breeding.
"Taking Feebas as an example, one can see how important a Pokemon's mental health is."
"Kohkin! Kohkin!"
(Always pay attention to mental health, noted, noted!) ShinnyMetagross is dedicated to constantly absorbing knowledge.
Evening.
Qinglv had originally planned to return to the city center, but Comrade Leon persuaded him to stay.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Qinglv was clearly very surprised.
"You can cook too?"
"My grandpa taught me."
Qinglv nodded knowingly, "That's right."
Qinglv had eaten the old man's cooking before.
As a qualified grandson, it was only right to learn his grandfather's skills.
Li Wei to the old man was like Qinglv to Professor Oak.
After dinner, Qinglv's eyes sharpened.
"We'll end with a battle tonight."
