章 376: Chapter 365: Ugly Fish's Charm Moves_1
Most Professional Trainers have their side businesses.
Reliance on just the identity of a Professional Trainer can yield a considerable amount of money, but it doesn't maximize the benefits that come with the status.
Liu Le's dad runs a catering business and hopes his son becomes a Professional Trainer as well, not to mention other industries that have deeper connections with Trainers.
The more formidable the Trainer, the higher their social status, even carrying a star effect.
Industries like Battle Clubs even use Pokémon battles as a competitive tactic, relying on challenging and winning fame.
If a Professional Trainer starts a company, as long as it's not too poorly run, it generally won't incur losses, given the network of connections they possess.
"To become a boss, huh…"
It would definitely be false to say Fang Yuan had never entertained the thought.
At eighteen, in the prime of his youth with an active mind, Professional Trainer, Elf Leader, big boss — he wanted to try any profession that sounded impressive.
"Since there is no Glamour Contest in this world, should I create one myself?"
If he were to establish a Glamour Contest Company, the Energy Blocks Fang Yuan had on hand would naturally be a significant aid.
The Pokémon Glamour Contest.
It's a type of competition in the Pokémon World, often compared to Pokémon battles, considered the second major event without problems.
Compared to battles, the Glamour Contest has a stronger entertainment nature.
Generally speaking, it's only after the society becomes relatively stable and the economy starts to thrive that entertainment-oriented competitions begin to increase.
Although Hua Nation has seen the rise of many entertainment competitions in recent years, none have really taken off.
The concept of a Coordinating Trainer hasn't even appeared yet.
Fang Yuan looks towards the Ugly Fish in the tank, his confidence somewhat bolstered by the fact that he could mass-produce Milotics, touted as the most beautiful Pokémon, to spread the fame of the Glamour Contest worldwide.
By then... with the various qualities enhanced by the Energy Blocks, the unique charm of the Pokémon active on the Glamour Contest stage will surely attract a large audience.
Nowadays, all major competitions are Pokémon battles... it's about time for aesthetic fatigue to set in, right?
"The Glamour Contest could possibly serve as the first step towards commercializing the Energy Blocks."
However, these are just Fang Yuan's current ideas. He lacks the capital to establish the Glamour Contest, and everything requires him to become a Senior Researcher and a Professional Trainer before making plans.
…
Ugly Fish.
Gender: ♀
Ability: Adaptability
Mastered Moves: Aqua Jet, Tackle, Icy Wind, Whirlpool, Muddy Water, White Mist, Charm.
This concludes all the data Fang Yuan collected on the Ugly Fish for the day.
Among its mastered Moves, the Water and Ice Types indicate this Ugly Fish's unique talent.
But, are they serious about Charm?
Eevee, Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Fierce Fire Monkey, Glutton — Fang Yuan curiously circled around Ugly Fish.
The body primarily covered in yellow-brown and blue with a pockmarked surface, the longest expression on the eyes being one of dullness... such a Pokémon actually mastered the Move Charm.
XSWL.
When Ugly Fish proudly performed the Move Charm for Fang Yuan and company, their reactions crushed Ugly Fish's pride.
In the water tank, Ugly Fish elegantly and seductively swayed its body but was met with a bunch of questioning gazes.
Eevee: ?
```
Fang Yuan, Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Glutton: ...
Fierce Fire Monkey: ⊙▽⊙, all stable now.
Truly a dumb fish that seemed to have no future whatsoever.
When the Ugly Fish used the Charm move, the Fierce Fire Monkey cast a loving glance at it.
The Charm move made the target fall into a charmed state, effective only on Pokémon of the opposite gender, and a Pokémon under the Charm effect was highly likely to be unable to act, not much different from being petrified.
When the Ugly Fish, displaying affection, used Charm on Net Addict Cloth of the same gender, it naturally only received puzzled looks.
And Fang Yuan could certainly not be charmed by the Ugly Fish.
The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster had no gender... Neither the Glutton nor the Fierce Fire Monkey would be interested in a fish.
The Ugly Fish didn't yet have the ability to change the emotions of the Glutton and the Fierce Fire Monkey with its charming powers.
So... after the Ugly Fish used Charm, it could only see the other Pokémon barely holding back their laughs, unable to find a subject for its charms.
Whoosh!
The Ugly Fish, capriciously diving into the water, sulked in its tank, ignoring Fang Yuan's calls.
When it finally turned around once, it still held its head high, glaring at Fang Yuan and the others with supreme arrogance, as if it were scoffing at their sense of aesthetics.
Fang Yuan was even more helpless now, indeed a problem child.
But this move... he would have to persuade the Ugly Fish to use it less in the future.
Using Charm while as an Ugly Fish would indeed laugh an opponent to death.
"Alright, alright, let's improve your diet first," Fang Yuan said with a smile, tossing all the prepared Blue Energy Blocks to the Ugly Fish.
Could the Blue Energy Blocks, which could increase Beauty Degree, possibly enhance the charming effects of the Charm move?
Even so, probably only after evolving would the Ugly Fish's Charm move begin to show its effect.
"And here, I'll give you this to play with as well." Fang Yuan casually threw the Mysterious Droplet, condensed from the river water in South Service Town Back Mountain, to the Ugly Fish. He had appraised it, and it was just a defective product, worth at most tens of thousands. Indeed, a place like South Service Town wasn't likely to produce anything good.
"Glub Glub~" The Ugly Fish blew bubbles, gobbling up the Energy Blocks one by one, then wrapping around the Mysterious Droplet, vowing in its heart that one day, it would charm every Pokémon, including those of the same sex and humans...
...
"Fang Yuan, are you going to the school celebration this time?"
While Fang Yuan was at home training the newly captured Ugly Fish, Zhou Rui, the girl from the same school who he had met when he captured the Ugly Fish, sent a message.
School Celebration?
Fang Yuan only learned upon asking that Pingcheng No.1 Middle School was having its eightieth anniversary...
"It depends," Fang Yuan wrote back.
"?"
Zhou Rui, who had just made it to Fang Yuan's friends list, originally wanted to invite him to join her, but after receiving such a response from Fang Yuan, she suddenly lost the desire to continue chatting and even felt like blocking him.
And Fang Yuan, indeed, had no interest in the so-called school celebration...
The main reason was that the school leaders should personally invite an outstanding alumnus like him; it would be lacking in status for him to go on his own initiative.
"Besides... there's no rush to return to Pingcheng."
Fang Yuan paid no attention to the outside world, as he discovered that the rural setting was quite suitable for training Pokémon. Although there were no training facilities, the types of training Fang Yuan needed to do at the moment did not require those.
The quiet and spacious environment can now only be found in the countryside.
Another thing... Fang Yuan had ordered a bunch of Elf Tools online, and the delivery address was set to Nanwu Town.
Fang Yuan took out his phone to check the delivery status... since he had selected the fastest Extreme Speed delivery... they should arrive by today at the latest.
