Pokémon: Just won the championship, the newbie growth system is here!

What is the trainer's journey like?

Looking at the flickering campfire in front of you, the night sky merging with the slowly rising sparks, and with your Pokémon traveling with you by your side, you can understand the true meaning of the journey.

It's a series of adventures, but also ordinary days and nights.

When wood is thrown into a campfire, it sizzles and crackles as it breaks, the branches turning into charcoal to fuel the flames.

Flames can not only dispel the chill of autumn nights, but they can also be used for cooking.

Add the fruit to the soup to make a tomato soup.

In a world where meat consumption is very low, berries are the primary food source for the vast majority of Pokémon.

Meat-based foods mainly include eggs, milk, and a small portion of edible parts of Pokémon, such as Slowpoke's tail.

Although the output is not high, it cannot be considered rare; it's just that the sales channels are mostly in big cities.

For a new trainer in the wild, wanting to drink a glass of milk every day is just a pipe dream.

The best food is actually tree fruit, which is easy to obtain and rich in a variety of nutrients.

"It's almost done, how about you try it?"

Ye Luo used a wooden spoon to scoop the tomato soup into a bowl, and as she handed it over, the wooden bowl floated up and drifted to the Pokémon sitting opposite her.

Gardevoir tasted the rich soup and commented.

[It's delicious, but it would be even better with a little bit of heavy cream.]

Two of my partners can use telepathy, Meloetta being one of them.

At the same time, Gardevoir is another Pokémon that can communicate directly with humans without any barriers.

Whether it is willing to speak or not depends on its mood.

"Without Alcremie, this is the best you can do in the wild, so don't be too demanding."

Ye Luo shrugged helplessly. Ever since he started cooking for himself and personally feeding these Pokémon that had become his partners, their tastes had become increasingly picky.

Don't misunderstand.

Gardevoir curled the ends of its blue hair, mimicking a human gesture.

[It's not that Ye Luo's cooking is bad.]

Gardevoir had no complaints about the meal.

Sparse smoke rose from the chimneys, and gazing at the stars, it felt a sense of quietude in the sky.

[Leaf Falls, your journey is over, isn't it?]

Gardevoir is rather suspicious and prone to worry; this has been its personality since the very beginning.

However, through repeated experiences, she has opened up to her trainers and now talks much more than before.

"Pretty much. We've already won the championship and proven ourselves."

Gardevoir simply nodded calmly, recalling some past events.

[You didn't like fighting before.]

"I don't like it now either; Pokémon battles are meaningless."

The only meaning is that he can earn money and obtain material rewards. Now that he is already a champion, his economic problems have long been solved.

Ye Luo took a sip of the tomato soup and felt that the flavor was indeed a bit bland, so she picked up the coarse salt seasoning and sprinkled it in.

Gardevoir seems to really enjoy battling.

[Struggle and evolution are in Pokémon's nature.]

Gardevoir openly communicates telepathically, and the more it speaks, the more fluent it becomes; now it speaks as logically and coherently as normal speech.

Many Psychic-type Pokémon are much smarter than people think.

[And I just don't like interacting with other people.]

"You've become much more talkative lately, why is that?"

Gardevoir smiled and looked at its trainer.

Do you know why?

Then, in the blink of an eye, he teleported and sat on the fallen tree next to Ye Luo.

There was a Luna Eevee in between.

"Aww~ (Don't go too far)."

Umbreon is responsible for stopping the overly enthusiastic Pokémon in time, quietly sipping its tomato soup for dinner.

Primarina, Gardevoir, Meloetta, and Leaffall's Pokémon have somewhat limited types, while the Dark-type Umbreon provides a good balance in terms of attack coverage.

[If you don't like getting close to trainers, then let me do it.]

"Aww~ (didn't say he didn't like it)."

Umbreon and Gardevoir are now at odds, ready to fight at any moment.

Ye Luo was eating her dinner idly on the side when she saw her two Pokémon run to the open space in front of her.

Pokémon's problems should be solved by Pokémon themselves.

To demonstrate the strength or weakness of power.

Gardevoir and Umbreon were poised for battle, ready to fight at any moment. As long as they didn't go too far, it didn't really matter. Both of them glanced at the trainers watching the show from the sidelines.

They seemed to be waiting for the starting signal without prior arrangement.

Ye Luo took a sip of the thick soup, licked his lips, and said.

"Just know your limits, let's begin."

Gardevoir's scattered Fairy Winds collided with Umbreon's Shadow Ball, creating a series of explosions in the air.

The fairy dust that exploded in the shadows shimmered silver in the night.

Meanwhile, the trainer who was watching the drama unfold was calmly eating his dinner, and then scooped up a spoon and gave Meloetta a sip.

Meloetta, sitting on the lap, was used to this kind of skirmish, which she considered trivial.

If possible, Gardevoir can fight any Pokémon it dislikes. Although it is usually gentle and refined, it is a Pokémon with a volatile temper.

Ye Luo was attacked by it quite a few times from the very beginning, literally, the kind that would use its mind hammer to smash into things.

Fortunately, that's no longer the case.

Let's take stock of today's accounts.

"I made tomato soup for three people tonight, for one trainer and three Pokémon."

The other three Pokémon were sleeping inside their Poké Balls.

The Poké Ball is arguably the most amazing item in the world, as it can capture Pokémon.

It's not so much that putting it inside is magical; the key is that inside the Poké Ball, the Pokémon enters a state similar to light sleep.

Simply put, it's a state of being half-asleep and half-awake. In this state, you will react to external stimuli. If you throw a Poké Ball or call the Pokémon's name, they will respond.

At the same time, Pokémon consume less energy while asleep, so not having to feed them three meals a day is a great way to save money on your travels.

However, I still need to cook them a meal occasionally to strengthen our bond.

Meloetta happily drank the rest of the tomato soup; as a legendary Pokémon, it didn't need to hide in its Poké Ball.

Therefore, Ye Luo's daily expenses became rather unusual.

Roughly speaking, it can be divided into the money for food and the money for food in Meloetta.

Meloetta's food expenses need to be listed separately, as legendary Pokémon enjoy privileges that other Pokémon do not have.

[I'm full~.]

After finishing the rest of the tomato soup, Meloeta finally said she was full.

As a form of exercise after meals, it floats around the campfire, singing its evening songs.

The soothing melody could stop the fighting, and the battle between Umbreon and Gardevoir also stopped.

Ye Luo was busy clearing away the dishes and throwing firewood into the campfire.

Listen to the gentle murmur of the campfire singing in Meloeta.
