Chapter 97: The Container
Newly hatched Pokémon require not only the careful attention of their Trainer but also food that can provide various nutrients.
In modern times, people generally use products like 【Moo Moo Milk】 to feed newly hatched Pokémon.
Moo Moo Milk is produced by the Pokémon Miltank, and its milk contains extremely high nutritional content and calories, making it the best beverage for people of all ages.
It is a pity that there are no Miltank being raised in the territory yet, so Lei Wen can only use Berry Juice produced by Potter as a substitute.
The maid brought over a bowl of Berry Juice, and Lei Wen placed it in front of the Larvesta.
Beside them, the Dratini and several Poffins were also observing their new companion with curious faces.
“Are you hungry? Larvesta, this is Berry Juice, eat up!” Lei Wen tried to make his voice sound gentle.
The Larvesta looked at the Berry Juice with its azure eyes, then lowered its head and began to lick it.
“Moo!” The Dratini’s eyes sparkled. This Pokémon looks so small!
“This is Larvesta, and from now on, it’s also one of our companions,” Lei Wen introduced.
Newly hatched Pokémon are much smaller than expected, but this situation won’t last long; after about ten days to half a month, the Pokémon will grow to a normal size.
This is the wonder of Pokémon.
Lei Wen carefully observed the Larvesta’s condition.
It had already mastered so many powerful Fire Type moves upon hatching, and with the inheritance from that Volcarona, the energy within this Larvesta had likely far surpassed that of the Dratini and Servine.
This means that even before evolving into a Volcarona, this Larvesta possesses considerable battle strength, Lei Wen guessed inwardly.
He could not wait to see the strength of this Volcarona, but now was not the time, as the Volcarona had not yet grown.
Newly hatched Pokémon are particularly fragile and cannot be used for Pokémon battles at all.
After drinking the Berry Juice, the Larvesta let out a satisfied burp and silently looked at Lei Wen and the Pokémon around it, as if recognizing them.
After a while longer, the Larvesta began to feel sleepy.
Seeing this, Lei Wen also blew out the lamp and drifted off to sleep surrounded by a group of fluffy companions.
The next morning, Lei Wen went to the Lord’s Hall as usual to handle various affairs in the territory.
Looking at the Pokémon behind him, Lei Wen couldn’t help but think, “It’s really inconvenient without Poké Balls!”
It’s fine with only three Pokémon for now, but if he were to capture more Pokémon later without Poké Balls, he would likely have a long string of Pokémon following him everywhere.
However, such things cannot be rushed.
Lei Wen sighed and said to the Servine and Dratini, “You two stay home and take care of Larvesta for me today! I’ll be back after I finish my work.”
None of the Pokémon had any objections and happily agreed.
Lei Wen smiled slightly, patted each of them on the head, and then turned towards the Lord’s Hall.
When he arrived, quite a few people had already gathered there.
Old Butler Elif, Blacksmith Morik, Designer Elena…
Seeing Lei Wen arrive, Elena immediately ran over excitedly.
She held a blueprint in her hand: “Your Highness, where did you get this blueprint for the establishment of toilets?”
“Of course, I drew it myself,” Lei Wen said with a straight face.
Actually, it was technology he had unlocked previously.
According to Lei Wen’s memory, toilets in this era were very rudimentary.
This was true even in the most luxurious Royal City.
The toilets in Aindook Royal City were built in small rooms protruding from the city walls, high up. Soldiers would carve a hole there, place two wooden boards, and then relieve themselves, letting their excrement fall from high up to the foot of the wall.
As for the commoners and slaves… there’s no need to even mention them.
The toilet provided by the technology 【Toilet】 is not a simple toilet but a functional toilet that integrates a complete system of corruption, filtration, oxidation, and composting.
It was precisely for this reason that Elena showed such a shocked expression when she saw the blueprint.
Now, upon hearing that Lei Wen had drawn this, Elena’s eyes widened instantly: “Huh? Your Highness can also draw blueprints?”
Elif expressed some displeasure: “As royalty, one must learn painting and music from a young age.”
What is this simple blueprint to his Highness?
Lei Wen: “…”
“Ahem!” He coughed lightly, starting to change the subject: “Alright, Elena, build it according to the blueprint. Also, for the excavation of the town’s underground waterways, you could actually seek help from Sandshrew. Compared to shovels, Sandshrew will significantly improve the efficiency of digging.”
“Yes!” Elena replied repeatedly.
“Morik, how is the work of putting cotton into Poké Berries going?” Lei Wen asked, turning his head.
“Reporting to Your Highness, it has been completed,” Morik stepped forward and presented a Poké Berry in his hand to Lei Wen.
Lei Wen pressed the clasp, and the Poké Berry immediately split in half. A layer of cotton filled the lower half of the Poké Berry, making it look like a white, soft cloud at first glance.
Lei Wen cast his gaze at Geralt’s Axew and then said to him, “Geralt, have Axew come over to try!”
Geralt was slightly taken aback. Although he was a bit confused, he still had Axew step forward.
“Axew, try to see if you can get inside here,” Lei Wen said.
Axew silently transformed into a red light and entered the Poké Ball.
This scene immediately elicited gasps from the people around.
However, Axew soon ran out from inside.
“How does it feel? Is it uncomfortable at all?” Lei Wen asked Axew about its experience.
In fact, Axew did not have high environmental requirements. It carefully recalled the feeling it had just experienced, then shook its head:
“Cha!”
“Prince Lei Wen, your method has worked!” Morik said with immense joy.
Lei Wen smiled and said, “Morik, from today onwards, try to make as many of these 【Balls】 with Poké Berries as possible! If you can’t manage alone, you can also look for some apprentices.”
The process of making Poké Balls from Poké Berries is very complex. In addition to shaping the Poké Berries, it also requires smelting matching iron rings. It can take a whole day to make just one.
Although this Poké Ball does not have the capture function of a modern Poké Ball and can only serve as a temporary container, it is already sufficient.
“Yes!” Morik quickly nodded in agreement.
Lei Wen carefully put away this simple Poké Ball, then listened to the others report on the situation in the territory. Seeing that there were no major issues, he waved his hand, telling them to go about their business.
Early in the morning, the people of this land began to get busy.
Lei Wen did not return home immediately but went out to inspect the construction work in the territory.
Under Elena’s leadership, and with the joint efforts of workers and Pokémon, houses in a distinct medieval architectural style began to rise on this land, and clean and tidy red brick roads began to be laid on the streets.
