He knows Pokémon better than me.

"First, the rewards for the top four players. Both of you, please come on stage!"

Xiao Mao invited loudly with a smile, saying that today's first Baby Cup had met his expectations and he was very satisfied.

"As expected of me, I can host such an interesting competition~!"

Xiao Mao was secretly proud of himself. Although it seemed that the game lasted almost ten days, it was only the exciting game that prolonged the time. In fact, only half a day had passed.

Then came the Baby Cup semi-finalists Xiao Jian and Akromah who appeared side by side.

The latter had previously lived in the Oki Research Institute for a period of time and was familiar with Xiaojian.

"This is the reward. Please accept it, both of you."

Xiao Mao gave each of them a small box. When they opened it, they found a round purple stone inside.

"It's the Evolution Stone!"

In the audience, Chris recognized it at a glance and blurted out.

She had long wanted to replace her Lip-Loving Baby's Immutable Stone Pendant with an Evolutionary Stone Pendant.

"Evolution Stone, can it increase double defense?"

Xiao Jian was delighted, as this prop was rarely seen and was quite suitable as a baby cup prize.

It would be quite suitable for his Scyther to carry it.

"Ah."

Akroma was not very interested, as he had just caught his Aluminum Steel Dragon, and it would naturally need to evolve in the future.

Although the new evolutionary information from Padiya indicated that a rare local artificial synthetic metal was needed.
It's not a big problem. He has already found out the information about the composition ratio of the elements and can easily rub out that kind of synthetic metal by hand.

"Next, it's the reward for the runner-up of the Baby Cup."

Seeing Xiaoxia standing in the center of the ring with an expectant look on her face, Xiaomao smiled and brought out a cylindrical device from the backstage.

The device opened, revealing a Pokémon egg.

The overall color is light blue with some dark blue spots, and it is obviously a water-attribute Pokémon.

"this is?!"

Xiaoxia held it in her arms excitedly. She could feel the moisture coming from the Pokémon egg, and it seemed to have a cool feeling.
"This is the Pokémon egg I carefully cultivated. It is a fossil Pokémon from another place. It is said that there is no way to make them reproduce on their own in the local area."

Xiao Mao explained with a smile, a hint of pride in his tone.

He had studied fossil Pokémon for a period of time before, both local and foreign ones. Satoshi's Oostvatar was adopted from him.

This water-attribute fossil Pokémon egg is quite special and different from ordinary fossil Pokémon.
"As for whether it can be hatched, it depends on your ability, Xiaoxia~"

Xiaoxia was overjoyed. You know, Xiaomao's Pokémon breeding technology is quite famous in the Kanto region!

"Is it a cute little fossil similar to a fossil helmet or an ammonite?!"

Not only that, Xiaoxia's eyes suddenly swept towards the immortal Ajin in the audience.

Coincidentally, there is also a wild egg-hatching expert here!

"!?"

When Ajin met Xiaoxia's fiery gaze, he shuddered inexplicably.

He had just been drained of his body by Xiaozhi, and now he hasn’t fully recovered!

However, a request from a Kanto gym leader, plus the other party is Xiaozhi's friend
After coming down the stage with the Pokémon egg in her hand, Misty happily greeted Jin and Chris, and enthusiastically prepared to invite them to visit Cerulean City.

Ah Jin: “.”

Why do I feel like I can't get out of Cerulean City after I go there? !

"So in the end, it's the champion!!" In fact, Xiao Mao had also thought about what would be the appropriate reward for the winner of the first Baby Cup.

Pokémon eggs? But he heard that Xiaozhi already had a few eggs on him, so he decided to forget it.

Special props like the Evolution Stone seem too light.

So Xiao Mao went to the backstage, brought up a big box, and put it directly in Xiaozhi's hand.

In short, the portion must be enough!
"This is.?"

Xiaozhi was stunned. The box was a bit heavy, and he could hear the sound of glass colliding gently when it was shaken.

When they opened it, they found 24 palm-sized brown glass medicine bottles filled with unknown liquids.

Xiaozhi picked up a can with the label saying "Physical Attack Enhancer".

There are different types, such as physical defense enhancers, special defense enhancers, and all kinds of speed.

4 bottles of each type, totaling 24 bottles.

"Nutrient drink for Pokémon?"

Xiaozhi is not unfamiliar with this. Drinking it can enhance some corresponding abilities, that is, increase the so-called effort value.

However, each bottle of this stuff is very valuable and is not something a grassroots trainer like him can afford.

Before at Liliae's house, he saw Liliae feeding Alola Ninetales and Pheromone with nutritional potions.

If you add up the total of 24 bottles, this prize is quite substantial.

"Not bad~!"

Xiaozhi nodded, although he was more accustomed to training Pokémon directly rather than relying on nutritional supplements or drugs.
However, these 24 bottles of nutrients can be used when cultivating a new round of young Pokémon.

Of course, if a mature Pokémon drinks this potion, it won't be of much use.

"Gulu gulu."

Pikachu unscrewed a bottle of speed enhancer with his little hands, held it up and started drinking.

It tastes like sugar water, but there is no improvement in speed.

Waste of a bottle.

Xiaozhi quickly closed the box again. Don't waste these old things. It would be better to use them later when you capture new Pokémon.

"Wait, what are these?"

But before closing the box, Xiaozhi suddenly discovered that there were many small objects of various shapes scattered in the gaps between the nutrients. Some were triangular pyramids, some were cubes, and some were double triangular pyramids.
I picked one up and it seemed to be some kind of candy, covered with light blue icing.

"This thing is called experience candy. Eating it can make Pokémon stronger quickly."

Xiao Mao explained with a smile:
"This is a rare thing invented in the Galar region. It's probably similar to the 'magic candy' that was circulated here before, but the effect of high-quality experience candy is much stronger than that of magic candy!"

Experience candies are classified according to their enhancement effects, like clothing sizes, and the most effective type is the XL type.

Eating one magic candy will increase your level by 1, but if it is XL experience candy, one can increase your level by 20!
"Quick upgrade?"

Xiaozhi frowned, it sounded like evil.

Relying on drugs to upgrade will not provide an stable foundation and will run the risk of going astray. Even if your level is higher than others, your own strength is weak.

"I see. No wonder there are nutritional potions."

Beside him, Akromah also came over with a look of realization on his face.

While eating candies to quickly level up, you rely on nutritional potions to stabilize your foundation. This pair is a perfect match.

Akrom is from the Unova region. He is not against taking drugs. In fact, a lot of people in his area like to take drugs.
He actually likes this experience candy upgrade flow. (End of this chapter)
