Chapter 379:
The lively atmosphere of the Spring Festival goes with—firecrackers, cheers, the dazzling Coordinators’ contests, elegant songs, the delighted shouts of children, and words of praise...
It is a ti for visiting and receiving guests. In between, w who returned from who-knows-where, grabbed so food and left again.
The entire Spring Festival period was simple yet warm.
But for Hayashi Kaede, the only company he had was his Pokémon.
Ti flowed by like water, and soon the festival period ended, arriving at February 9th.
Early morning.
Today was the first day after the festival.
But in reality, within two or three days after the Spring Festival, Hayashi Kaede’s video channel had already blown up.
The comnts section was filled with fans, both new and old, urging him to reopen his shop.
To be honest, once people get used to a life of comfort, they don’t really feel like putting in more effort.
But seeing the berries in the Berry Plantation growing larger and gradually showing signs of ripening, Hayashi Kaede had no choice but to get up, start picking the already ripe berries, and turn them into Energy Cubes to store for now.
However, a new problem arose.
Looking at the orchard full of berry trees, Hayashi Kaede felt a bit troubled.
"Oh no, Gardevoir, I feel like we won’t be able to keep up like this!"
When it ca down to it, in the plantation, only he and Gardevoir could make Energy Cubes.
There was also the little sister Indeedee, but she was mainly in charge of other household matters. Lately, her brother had been helping out a lot too.
But... once the Breeding House opens, her brother will have his own responsibilities.
"Gardevoir..."
Seeing Hayashi Kaede so overwheld, Gardevoir couldn’t help but feel amused, but still said, "Gardevoir~" (Then, why don’t we hire so help?)
"I don’t want to hire anyone..." Hayashi Kaede looked at the storage capsules still sitting in front of him, feeling disheartened.
There were about ten storage capsules, all filled with various fast-ripening berries.
"Gardevoir..." (Then... find others of my kind?)
"No, no, actually, what we need is a tagross..." Hayashi Kaede shook his head, his gaze firm.
Gardevoir wasn’t really ideal for this kind of work.
Among Psychic-type Pokémon, Gardevoir isn’t the most precise when it cos to energy control.
Among non-Legendary Pokémon, the most precise is tagross.
His own Gardevoir could control energy so precisely entirely because of its strength and... perhaps its experience?
If he were to catch another Gardevoir, who knows how long it would take to train it to his Gardevoir’s level.
But tagross was different. As soon as it evolves into tagross, it gains imnse computational power, making it perfectly suited for this kind of work!
You could say it’s born for this job!
So, the question was:
Where could he find a tagross?
This was a serious problem.
It wasn’t like starter Pokémon or Eevees, which you could easily find in multiple Breeding Houses.
A fully evolved tagross was usually only seen with Elite Four mbers or Champions.
Like Steven!
"Oh... doesn the Psychic-type Elite Four mber have one too?"
Hayashi Kaede suddenly rembered the tagross he’d seen at the Pokémon League Conference.
Didn’t the Psychic-type Elite Four mber have one?
With a target in mind, the rest beca easier.
Although he didn’t know the Psychic-type Elite Four mber personally, he knew soone who did.
Thinking this, Hayashi Kaede imdiately picked up his phone with great enthusiasm, found his chat history with Kazephyr.
[Hayashi Kaede: You there?]
No reply.
Hayashi Kaede wasn’t in a hurry. After all, the other person was very busy; it was normal not to get an imdiate reply.
He needed to go with Gardevoir and turn all these berries into Energy Cubes first.
"Let’s go, Gardevoir, we’ll deal with these berries first."
Gardevoir, who had been watching the changing expressions on Hayashi Kaede’s face, wore a soft smile all along.
Hearing Hayashi Kaede call her, she gave a slight nod and followed him to the kitchen.
This was a ti-consuming task. It was already noon by the ti they barely managed to turn the berries from four storage capsules into Energy Cubes.
It wasn’t until noon that Hayashi Kaede and Gardevoir erged from the kitchen.
This was also because his psychic abilities had improved recently.
Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have been able to handle the Energy Cubes that required special attention.
Checking his phone after coming out, Hayashi Kaede’s eyes lit up.
[Kazephyr: What’s up? Sothing wrong? Don’t tell there’s another ss to clean up?]
Hayashi Kaede: "??"
He was a bit embarrassed.
When did his image in Kazephyr’s eyes beco soone who only seeks him out for cleanup jobs?
[Hayashi Kaede: I wanted to ask you sothing.]
This ti, the reply ca quickly.
[Kazephyr: Speak.]
Hayashi Kaede didn’t beat around the bush.
[Hayashi Kaede: I wanted to ask, do you know how to contact the Psychic-type Elite Four mber?]
[Kazephyr: Why?]
[Hayashi Kaede: Well, I want a tagross.]
[Kazephyr: ?]
[Kazephyr: I’m not a wishing well.]
[Hayashi Kaede: No, I ant to ask if that tagross the Psychic Elite Four has... has any offspring... well...]
[Kazephyr: As far as I know, probably not. But you can ask her yourself.]
After sending this, a contact quickly ca through from the other side.
The profile picture was of a woman in a red cheongsam holding a fan, looking very elegant.
Information about the Psychic-type Elite Four mber quickly surfaced in Hayashi Kaede’s mind.
As one of the only two female mbers among the six Eastova League Elite Four level, her pursuits differed from the others. (TSL note: there are 6 of them at the elite four level. Just to clarify, the elite four term is a more familiar term compared to elite six)
She focused more on Contests, researching how to make Pokémon moves look beautiful!
She was also a long-established Top Coordinator.
Within the Eastova League, she had countless fans.
Her status was sowhat similar to Kalos’s Champion, Diantha.
"Feels a bit intimidating to ask."
Hayashi Kaede felt his question was rather bold.
But after thinking about his future workload, he boldly sent the friend request.
The other side didn’t accept imdiately either.
Hayashi Kaede wasn’t particularly anxious.
He was just trying anyway.
Even if added, there might not be an opportunity.
Still, he felt like he rembered sothing about a tagross sowhere...
But he forgot where.
