Chapter 70: Destiny
“I don’t think I need this thing either. How about sending it to the auction?” Lu Li suggested.
Yu Lili didn’t object after hearing this. The bent spoon was precious, but this item didn’t match their attributes.
“Let’s still take it to the auction. You should be quite short on money right now. After all, without money, you can’t achieve great things in nurturing Pokémon well.”
“We’re going back to the city tomorrow anyway. At that time, I’ll take you to my grandmother’s auction house, and we can even waive the handling fee then.”
“And most importantly, Psychic Type Pokémon secret treasures never lack sellers. After all, those who can afford to raise Psychic Type Pokémon are all not short of money.” After Yu Lili finished speaking, she looked at Lu Li with burning eyes.
Lu Li nodded after hearing this. Lu Li didn’t mention splitting the money, as talking about money hurts emotions, and moreover, Yu Lili had basically already made it clear that she didn’t want the money from selling the bent spoon.
Bronzong quietly vanished its figure upon seeing this scene.
After all, its duty was only to protect the two of them, and it had no interest in the romantic entanglements of a young boy and girl.
Seeing Bronzong disappear without a word, Yu Lili explained, “Bronzong has never liked appearing in front of outsiders much.”
Lu Li nodded. It was better if Bronzong didn’t come out. A Gym Level Peak Bronzong would have a strong sense of oppression even just standing nearby.
After putting away the bent spoon, Lu Li curiously asked, “By the way, did you bring your Wailmer?”
“I brought it. I plan to put it in the backyard pond later,” Yu Lili replied.
Hearing this, Lu Li suggested, “I suggest you don’t let your family’s Wailmer get along with Xiao Mei for now.”
Beauty doesn’t just refer to mere beauty. After all, a Pokémon’s beauty is expressed in many aspects, such as being powerful, having temperament, high facial value—these all count as beauty.
For Wailmer, temperament is also very important, and the formation of temperament is generally related to mindset.
Yu Lili asked puzzledly, “Why?”
“I’m afraid your family’s Wailmer will feel inferior, which would affect its beauty,” Lu Li explained.
How beautiful his own Xiao Mei was, he as her trainer knew better than anyone. Wailmer are generally ugly, but Xiao Mei was now an exception.
Wailmer can accept Milotic being countless times more beautiful than themselves, because that’s their evolution direction. The more beautiful the Milotic, the prettier they will be in the future.
Even if Wailmer live with Milotic year-round, Milotic’s appearance wouldn’t easily make Wailmer feel inferior.
After all, no matter how beautiful Milotic is, Wailmer would only think that they could become that beautiful someday in the future.
But two Wailmer are different. Everyone is a Wailmer, so why am I so ugly while others are so beautiful? Am I really born ugly? That sense of inferiority would come just like that.
“Ah! There’s such a saying?” Yu Lili looked at Lu Li confused.
Lu Li nodded: “Wailmer’s beauty score is determined from various aspects, such as temperament, appearance, strength.”
Yu Lili nodded thoughtfully.
“I understand. Before your family’s Wailmer evolves, I’ll keep it in the water vat,” Yu Lili said.
As the two spoke, they returned to the villa living room.
Sitting on the sofa, Lu Li curiously opened that yellow notebook.
Having finally come across another trainer’s training notes, Lu Li planned to study them carefully.
One hour later.
Lu Li closed the notebook with a dark face. For this yellow notebook, Lu Li truly didn’t know how to evaluate it.
The training methods inside left even him, a rookie trainer, speechless. Qiu Yide’s talent could make a dog shake its head.
However, it did record a rather good secret technique, but the records here were incomplete. It wasn’t that Qiu Yide deliberately held back.
Rather, that special secret technique was comprehended by the Drowzee itself. Qiu Yide only provided a direction. Even with the Drowzee’s recounting, Qiu Yide only remembered it half-understood.
Based on this notebook, Lu Li deduced that the Drowzee’s qualification was at least Gym Level. Unfortunately, the Drowzee had been raised poorly.
In other words, Qiu Yide was purely someone carried by his own Pokémon, and even a drag on his own Pokémon.
Not exaggerating, if the Drowzee had followed Lian Sheyi, even if Lian Sheyi was a commoner, the Drowzee could absolutely grow to Gym Level.
“Sure enough!”
“In this world, effort isn’t important. What’s important is choice.” Lu Li sighed sincerely.
From the notebook’s records, Lu Li also learned about Qiu Yide’s background.
Qiu Yide came from the Qiu Family in the Northeast Region of the Asian Alliance Jiuzhou Region. The Qiu Family was an emerging family, originating from Qiu Yide’s grandfather.
Qiu Yide’s grandfather was an Elite Level Trainer, and now possibly even a Gym Trainer. The reason Qiu Yide’s grandfather could build the huge Qiu Family from a mere commoner was the contract he formed with the Drowzee tribe.
In fact, most commoners rise this way: luckily discovering a powerful wild Pokémon tribe, then reaching a transaction with that tribe through personal charm, growing in mutual benefit, and finally binding the family completely with that Pokémon tribe.
The Qiu Family and the Drowzee tribe had exactly this relationship.
Qiu Yide’s grandfather had an Alakazam very skilled in prophecy. People of Qiu Yide’s generation would have their trainer qualifications tested after birth.
At that time, the Alakazam sentenced Qiu Yide to death through foresight, prophesying that Qiu Yide’s trainer talent was too low, doomed to achieve nothing in a lifetime, not even touching Elite Level.
Such qualification in a family wasn’t much. Born into a wealthy family noble, peaking at only Elite Level—wasn’t that purely a waste?
Thus, Qiu Yide was abandoned, with most family resources tilted toward his big brother.
But Qiu Yide was born not to accept his fate and didn’t believe the Alakazam’s prophecy, so this unlucky kid rebelled from the family and even stole the Pokémon egg originally meant for his big brother.
Qiu Yide later scammed everywhere to make money, just to buy a bent spoon to break through to Elite Level for the Drowzee.
In fact, that Alakazam which prophesied his future could indeed be called a prophecy master, because its prophecies all came true.
Qiu Yide’s trainer talent was indeed so poor a dog would shake its head, the Drowzee’s current level was purely due to good qualification, and this unlucky kid indeed never touched the Elite domain in his lifetime.
Having just bought the bent spoon upfront, he came running to deliver express to Lu Li, the son of fortune, right after. One could only say his luck was truly bad.
“This prophecy is indeed flawless.”
Lu Li couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Yu Lili looked curiously at Lu Li who burst into laughter.
Yu Lili asked curiously, “What are you giggling about with the notebook?”
“Look at this.” Lu Li handed the notebook to Yu Lili. Such an interesting story naturally had to be shared.
However, Yu Lili didn’t find the content in this notebook funny at all. On the contrary, some descriptions on it filled her with curiosity.
“No wonder the Qiu Family could rise rapidly with the recognition of a wild Psychic Type Pokémon tribe.” Yu Lili said, suddenly realizing.
