It all started because of what happened last night.
Ordinary Poké Balls cannot completely block a Pokémon's perception of the outside world.
So Servine could clearly sense Dragonite's presence outside and, with just a little guesswork, could figure out why Lin Feng chose to recall it into the Poké Ball.
Wasn't it obvious? He must have sensed Dragonite nearby and, worried about potential danger, decided to put Servine away for safety.
Exactly because of that…
When they got ho last night, Servine practically dragged Lin Feng into a half-hour "eting."
Its main point was sothing along the lines of, "At a mont like that, you actually put back into the Poké Ball? Aren't I your Pokémon? I should be the one protecting you!"
Then it glared at him, furious.
That "anger" had persisted all the way into this morning, and Lin Feng still hadn't managed to coax it out of its mood.
"Alright, alright, I swear on my life, this will be the last ti!"
Lin Feng spoke earnestly, his tone serious.
"Ser… vine…"
Servine shot him another disdainful look, then finally nodded, which was as close as it got to forgiving him.
Lin Feng let out a long breath of relief. Only then did he have a chance to check the system rewards from the previous night.
Sacred Ash plus an Individual Value Breakthrough Serum?
Those rewards…
Lin Feng swallowed hard.
He had expected wtwo might react after reading his ssage, but he hadn't anticipated such a big reaction, directly awarding him these almost ga-breaking items.
He couldn't help muttering to himself,
"I'd love to bring wtwo ho and keep it happy every single day…"
The Individual Value Breakthrough Serum that was no ordinary item. Lin Feng thought about it for a mont, then decided to take it out imdiately.
A small glass vial filled with a milky white liquid materialized in his palm. As he pulled out the stopper, an intoxicating fragrance wafted through the air.
"Here, Servine. This is your reward. It's… sothing tasty."
"Ser… vine?"
Servine eyed the vial suspiciously.
It deeply suspected Lin Feng was only offering it to butter it up after last night.
But because it trusted Lin Feng, it still accepted the vial and downed it in one gulp.
Hm…?
It tasted like the sa good stuff as those candies!
As the liquid slid down its throat, Servine could feel itself strengthening in every possible way. Its eyes lit up with satisfaction over this "apology gift."
It even stuck out its red tongue to lick the last few drops clinging inside the bottle.
[Pokémon: Servine]
[Gender: Female]
[Ability: Contrary]
[Potential: Gold]
[Individual Values: HP (25 2), Attack (21 1), Special Attack (26 2), Defense (25 1), Special Defense (24 2), Speed (31 3)]
[Level: 23-26]
Reading the data displayed by the Eye of Insight, Lin Feng couldn't help nodding in satisfaction.
It really did break past the usual limits for an ordinary Pokémon.
Even Servine's Speed stat had shot up to an impressive 31 3.
Its level had increased as well…
As for why he didn't give the serum to Milotic…
That was because Milotic already had the Water Stone and the Ocean Crystal.
When it ca to his own Pokémon, Lin Feng firmly believed in treating them all fairly, never favoring one at the expense of another.
"Roto, Rotom reporting that soone is currently waiting outside the door!"
The voice of Rotom, which flew in from outside the room, interrupted Lin Feng's thoughts.
"So soon?!"
Lin Feng glanced at the ti, eyes widening in disbelief.
Sure, his performance yesterday must have made quite a splash, but he didn't think soone would show up so early the very next morning.
It was barely six o'clock!
The shuttle bus to Wutong City had just started running!
"Yes, Master!"
The red Rotom, shaped like a smartphone, hovered in the air, its voice crisp and clear.
[Pokémon: Rotom]
[Gender: Genderless]
[Ability: Levitate]
[Potential: Blue]
This was the Rotom Lin Feng had bought yesterday. It resided in his smartphone and could instantly search the internet for any information not blocked by a firewall.
But that wasn't all.
Rotom could leave the phone and possess other electronic devices, temporarily gaining new types and abilities.
For example, when it possessed a refrigerator, it could autonomously chill things, becoming Electric-Ice type.
When it possessed a washing machine, it could wash clothes on its own, becoming Electric-Water type…
"Master, your performance in the Baby Cup yesterday was so outstanding that quite a few short-video creators have already posted clips about you on Douyin. Would you like to watch them?"
Rotom explained gently to Lin Feng.
"Huh? Let see."
Lin Feng replied as he dashed off to wash up.
A big reason he had bought this Rotom was precisely because it was so helpful and proactive in demonstrating all its functions.
"Of course, Master."
Rotom imdiately projected a video screen out of the smartphone.
On the screen was Lin Feng, directing Servine step by step as it released the pent-up energy inside Lapras.
"What the heck?!"
Lin Feng glanced at the video's posting ti and the number of likes.
His heart skipped a beat.
The video had been posted just last night, yet the likes had already exceeded a hundred thousand, and there were tens of thousands of comnts.
Even assuming a ten-to-one ratio of views to likes…
That ant at least a million people had clicked on the video.
"Want to open the comnt section?"
"Yes, yes, open it. Let have a look."
Lin Feng couldn't wait.
He scrolled through a few comnts at random.
[No Culture Here: Damn! Aweso!]
[Ink-Scented Bookhouse: Fake, definitely fake. This video's too unreal. I've read so many books, and I've never seen such a young advanced breeder.]
[Groudon, Why Can't You Fly?: The guy above is an idiot, case closed. This video was released by Wutong City's official TV channel. Fake? My ass.]
[Breeder Green: Such advanced techniques! Whether it's the precise timing in releasing Lapras's internal energy or the skill in healing the Pokémon's injuries, the control is incredible. And that Servine's potential is outstanding…]
[Please, League, Give a Servine: Damn, Breeder Green, is this real?]
[Red: I was curious why you left such a high praise in that video's comnt section. After watching it, I agree it's truly impressive.]
[Charizard, My God: Red! Guys, it's the real Red! I'm crying. My lifelong dream is to see Red's Charizard in person. Please give the chance…]
Overall, after scanning through the comnts,
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. The majority of remarks were quite positive.
Only a few extre comnts were mindlessly negative.
What he hadn't expected at all…
Was that his video had actually drawn the attention of both Green the breeder and Red the battler.
Lin Feng clicked into their profiles, staring at the tens of millions of followers each of them had, and couldn't help sucking in a sharp breath.
There was no doubt.
These were real accounts.
As he continued washing up, an idea began forming in his mind…
Since there was so much hype swirling around him right now, maybe he could ride this wave of popularity to start building his own Douyin account.
