September 30th, Zhuqing Breeding Center.
The busy month of September was about to end.
Diancie had already been added to the latest Pokédex in the first half of this month.
As long as a Trainer updated their Pokédex with Dr. Platanus, or a new Trainer received their regional Pokédex, they would be able to find Diancie's information.
For example, Li Wei's Rotom Dex remotely received a data packet from Professor Rowan, recording Diancie's data.
This included its height, weight, ability, type, and relationship with Carbink.
It was clearly marked in the Pokédex as a mutant of Carbink.
In subsequent research and data comparisons, Dr. Oak, Professor Rowan, and Dr. Platanus were almost certain of its relationship.
It was just that there was still a missing process, which was the process of Carbink mutating into Diancie.
If that process was found, it would be a done deal.
But such a thing was rare and hard to come by.
Qinglv did have plans to investigate the Kalos region, but he still had his duties at the Tokiwa Gym.
Further investigation into this relationship also required the guidance of Carbink and Diancie.
This meant finding Li Wei, but Li Wei was temporarily unavailable.
Li Wei and Qinglv agreed that when they had time, they would take Diancie and Carbink to explore the areas with a strong Fairy aura in the Kalos region.
In simpler terms, they would look for Xerneas.
The mutation of Carbink might take time.
Dr. Oak, Professor Rowan, and Dr. Platanus all believed this was a long-term process.
It was like quantitative change leading to qualitative change.
But if Xerneas was found...
All problems would be solved easily.
As for why Qinglv wanted to find Li Wei...
One reason was that Qinglv found that Li Wei had a high probability of encountering such rare Pokemon.
Whether it was the Shiny Metagross, or Shaymin, or Diancie, they were all rare and hard to come by.
Li Wei and Steven had even encountered the Three Legendary Birds.
Another reason was that Carbink and Diancie could sense the presence of a Fairy aura.
Generally speaking, where the Fairy aura was strong, the probability of Xerneas being there was relatively higher.
So Qinglv made an agreement with Li Wei to go to Kalos together next time to find Xerneas.
Li Wei actually wanted to say there was no need for such trouble; they could just find Ash, and he would find it.
When it came to finding Legendary Pokemon...
No one dared to boast in front of that idiot.
But Ash was still traveling in the Johto region, so it might be some time before he reached the Kalos region.
Brock was traveling with Ash, so Li Wei essentially had Ash's locator.
Because Brock often shared their travel experiences.
Li Wei was still diligently practicing his cooking with his grandfather.
Of course, the necessary work still had to be done.
His Energy Cube proficiency had already reached 600,000 due to his increasingly high reputation.
At this rate of growth, he was expected to upgrade Energy Cube from Top Class to Master Class before next year.
As for the Poffin proficiency growth, it was a bit slower.
Compared to Energy Cube, Poffin was more of a snack, and Pokemon ate less of it.
Moreover, in terms of Poffin, Li Wei had another competitor, Lalami.
She was also a contestant who could make Super Aromatic Pokémon Puff.
The Breeding Center simultaneously stocked Li Wei's and Lalami's Super Aromatic Pokémon Puff.
They were all Super Aromatic Pokémon Puff; the only differences were the recipes and flavors.
Some Pokemon liked to eat Li Wei's, while others preferred Lalami's.
...
"Hello, Team Rockets Logistics, please sign for your package."
Li Wei received a package from a Team Rockets member in a black uniform with an 'R' embroidered on the chest.
That's right, Team Rockets Logistics had already expanded to the Sinnoh region.
It just so happened when Li Wei was traveling to the Kalos region.
Li Wei had only recently discovered this, as he often shopped online.
He wasn't afraid, though.
Even if the sky fell, didn't Lance and Steven have it covered?
Even if Boss Sakaki came...
Then Red would be invited down from the mountain...
Red would surely be extremely interested in his old rival.
It should be said that it was a mutual appreciation between old rivals.
He had also asked Lance and Zorro, Section Chief.
In response, Lance stated that Team Rockets Logistics' procedures and documents were legal and compliant, paid taxes according to law,
and had comprehensive employee benefits...
Eight-hour workdays, weekends off, annual leave...
It made Li Wei want to work for Team Rockets after hearing it.
Li Wei, who ran a Breeding Center, said he worked all year round.
Of course, this was because he enjoyed it.
Li Wei opened the package.
Inside were the clay pot, ceramic jar, herb cutting knife, grinding trough, and pounding mortar he had bought from the League's official website...
Essentially, these were tools for slicing, grinding, and crushing traditional Chinese medicinal herbs.
They were sold on the League's official website under the name [Complete Craft Kit].
It was said that Pokemon remedies such as Potion, Super Potion, and Hyper Potion all originated from the East Land Region, with their roots in traditional Chinese medicine.
Therefore, pharmacies selling Energy Root and Revival Herb were generally named [XX Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmacy].
If they weren't called a Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmacy, customers might even think they were selling fakes.
Of course, due to the passage of time, it was no longer verifiable.
In the East Land Region, one could also help Pokemon with care and body conditioning through acupuncture, cupping, and gua sha.
Li Wei confirmed that this was indeed possible, and there were also such videos on Eevee Net.
The System's given Potion Conditioning (Advanced) also included these methods, but Li Wei had not practiced them.
Mainly, acupuncture was a relatively complex method, and Li Wei didn't dare to use it casually.
The East Land Region had close ties with Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, with relatively frequent economic, cultural, and tourism exchanges.
Including his grandfather's grandfather, which was Li Wei's great-great-grandfather, who moved from the East Land Region.
It wasn't due to war, but simply for love, and then he settled in Celestic Town.
Strictly speaking, Li Wei's family were people from the East Land Region.
Comrade Leon suddenly appeared, looking at Li Wei's large and small jars curiously, "Son, why are you tinkering with this?"
Rui Xi, who had systematically studied Pokemon medicine, looked at Li Wei with suspicion,
"Pokemon Doctors rarely use these; these are only used by Pokemon Doctors who can perform Potion Conditioning. You can't possibly know this too, can you?"
Li Wei made a finger-tip universe gesture with his index finger and thumb,
"Coincidentally, I know a little. I've been self-studying this."
Rui Xi's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Rui Xi and Li Wei had known each other for almost ten months, and due to frequent contact at work, how could she not understand Li Wei?
If Li Wei was being humble,
it usually meant he really knew it...
But Potion preparation was not entirely the same as berries; it involved the pharmacology of herbs...
It shouldn't be possible, right?
Rui Xi still didn't quite believe it.
After all, she had never seen Li Wei studying any books related to pharmacology.
But very soon, Rui Xi knew she was wrong.
Oh no, he really knew it!
Watching Li Wei skillfully use the herb cutting knife, then the grinding trough and pounding mortar...
Rui Xi was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Genius" seemed no longer enough to describe him.
