Chapter 49: Did a High School Kid Really Make This?

[Training Chamber: A self-contained space for training, available in pristine condition! Costs 1 entry token per use.]
This new item appeared in the token store.
The chamber was a spacious and well-lit training facility, customizable with various training equipment and difficulty settings.
"Looks like I've found a perfect training ground," Hikaru murmured, noting the utility of the chamber.
After a week exploring the secret realms around Shuimu City, Hikaru decided to rest for a couple of days.
On the third morning, he was awakened by a phone call.
It was from Yuki.
"What's up, Yuki?" Hikaru asked, groggily unlocking the screen.
At the same time, a new weekly entry refreshed:
[Blue Entry: Healing Expert] – Enhances recovery effects by 50%.
"This is perfect for Charmeleon," Hikaru muttered, recalling its traits like [Forest Child], [Life Flame], and [Rapid Recovery].
Initially, Hikaru had intended to mold Charmeleon into a warrior type. But with its current build, it seemed to be evolving into a tanky mage with substantial offensive capabilities.
---
Unexpectedly, the voice on the other end wasn't Yuki's but her mother's, an elegant and mature tone carrying a hint of authority.
"Hikaru, I heard you've been busy in the secret realms recently. While training is important, don't neglect your safety!"
"Yes, ma'am," Hikaru replied, a warm feeling blooming in his chest.
---
Yuki's mother continued, "Also, I heard about your talent in Pokémon Breeder. I've reached out to a top-tier cultivator from the Kyoto Institute for you. They've agreed to consider taking you as a student."
"What?" Hikaru was momentarily stunned.
He hadn't expected their brief exchange about energy cube techniques during his visit to leave such an impression on Yuki's mother.
---
In the modern Pokémon world, while trainers remained revered, Pokémon Breeder were increasingly indispensable.
The demand for energy cubes, healing potions, and antidotes was insatiable. As long as there were trainers, there would be a need for these resources.
Energy cubes, in particular, varied by type, energy level, and quality. Crafting them wasn't just about throwing ingredients together—it was an art.
For instance, Hikaru's water-type energy cubes incorporated powdered Aqua Stones. Similarly, his fire-type cubes used Flame Stone dust. He then balanced these components with additional materials to ensure optimal nutrition and energy.
For most trainers from average families, the best they could afford were mass-produced cubes from industrial assembly lines. While affordable, these cubes had dismal energy conversion rates.
Climbing the ranks as a trainer required grit, strategy, and a willingness to brave dangerous secret realms.
---
"Hikaru? Are you still there?" Yuki's mother asked, breaking his train of thought.
"Ah, yes! Thank you so much, ma'am!"
"Don't mention it, dear. I've sent you the instructor's contact details. They'll arrange an interview. I'm just opening the door for you; the rest is up to your abilities."
---
Later that evening, Hikaru mustered his courage and sent a friend request to the renowned Pokémon Breeder.
"No umbrella? Then run harder."
Hikaru firmly believed in this philosophy. Without a privileged background like Yuki's, he had to seize every opportunity to succeed.
---
At 8 PM, the request was accepted. A video call invitation followed shortly after.
The screen revealed a high-tech laboratory illuminated by bright lights. Sitting at a workbench was a woman in her early thirties, dressed in a pristine white lab coat. Her sharp, analytical gaze was framed by a practical ponytail.
She was none other than Ayame Matsunaga, the youngest master cultivator in the country.
Her reputation was legendary. She had Rise countless Pokémon to the master tier, and her energy cubes were sought after by even elite trainers.
---
"Hikaru, is it? Let's cut to the chase," Ayame began, her tone direct. "I hear you have exceptional talent in Pokemon breeding. Show me an energy cube you've crafted."
"Yes, ma'am," Hikaru replied, retrieving a neatly crafted water-type energy cube from a nearby drawer.
---
The moment Ayame saw the cube on her screen, her expression shifted from mild curiosity to intense focus.
"Bring it closer to the camera," she instructed, leaning forward.
Hikaru complied, rotating the cube to display it from all angles.
The energy within the cube shimmered under the light, its clarity and balance unmistakable.
---
"Are you claiming you made this?" Ayame's voice carried a note of skepticism.
"Yes," Hikaru answered confidently.
"Then prove it. Craft one for me right now."
---
Unfazed, Hikaru grabbed his phone and headed to the kitchen.
Ten minutes later, he demonstrated the entire process on camera. His movements were fluid and precise, each step executed with practiced ease.
Watching him work, Ayame felt as though she were witnessing a rare, unpolished gem.
---
The energy cube Hikaru produced wasn't just good—it was excellent.
The energy balance and quality were at an expert level, perfectly tailored for elite-tier water Pokémon.
"This… was made by a high school student?" Ayame whispered to herself in disbelief.
