"Thank you," Tetsuya simply thanked Brock and then left.
Brock didn't stop him, his eyes narrowed as he watched Tetsuya leave.
Anyway, he definitely needed to rest. As long as Tetsuya was still in Pewter City, Brock was sure he would know where he was.
But that wasn't the most urgent matter. Brock looked at the time. "Oh no, dinner time is almost here, and I haven't prepared dinner for my younger siblings yet."
Brock hurried away, running past Tetsuya from behind.
Tetsuya heard the sound of Brock's frantic running, and then saw Brock's figure flash past him.
He looked at Brock's back in surprise. Was there something urgent?
He didn't think too much about it; after all, other people's business had nothing to do with him. Tetsuya walked straight towards the front desk.
He walked to the front desk and handed his identification to the service staff.
The front desk confirmed it and handed the Boulder Badge and identification to Tetsuya together.
"Congratulations, Trainer Tetsuya Tamaki, this is your victory Badge Certificate."
Tetsuya looked at the diamond-shaped Boulder Badge made of rock and was very excited.
Although he had been prepared for this, getting his first badge still made him exceptionally excited.
He tossed the badge into the air like a coin, caught it with his hand, said thank you to the front desk, and turned around and left gracefully.
The female service staff at the front desk looked at Tetsuya's handsome face and actions and was momentarily captivated.
Walking out of the Pewter Gym, he carefully placed the Boulder Badge into the badge box he had prepared earlier.
Although there was still a record on the computer if he lost it, no normal Trainer would lose their badge.
Because it represented the result of their and their Pokemon's efforts.
"Boulder Badge! I got it!" Tetsuya walked on the streets of Pewter City, shouting happily in his heart.
If he didn't have a little shame, being 40 years old with two lives combined, Tetsuya would have wanted to cheer out loud.
He restrained his excitement from getting his first badge and quickened his pace towards the Pokemon Center.
After all, although Combusken didn't take much damage in the battle, due to the use of the Speed Boost ability, its stamina consumption was still very large.
He needed Nurse Joy to help Combusken recover.
Moreover, after a day of exercise, plus the mental exhaustion from the battle just now, Tetsuya was also a little hungry and needed to go back quickly for dinner.
Tetsuya used his high-level treatment to hand Combusken to Nurse Joy for quick recovery, then took the two Pokemon to the restaurant to eat.
While he was eating, a black hand suddenly patted Tetsuya's shoulder from behind.
"Hmm?" He turned his head in confusion. He didn't know anyone in Pewter City, so who would greet him?
"Hello there, Trainer Tetsuya."
The squinty-eyed person holding a tray greeted him. It was Brock.
"Oh, it's Trainer Brock, hello, hello."
Tetsuya greeted him awkwardly. After all, dealing with interpersonal relationships was something new to him.
"Haha, do you mind if I sit here with you?" Brock said with a smile.
"Of course not, please sit." Tetsuya made a gesture for him to feel free.
Brock put down his tray and sat across from Tetsuya.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Brock. I'm the son of the Pewter Gym Leader. I'm 16, the same age as you."
"You can just call me Brock. You don't mind if I just call you Tetsuya, right?"
Brock ate his meal and naturally took over the conversation.
"Of course I don't mind." Tetsuya ate his meal, replying stiffly.
"Aren't you surprised? I'm the Gym Leader's son," Brock said strangely.
"Not surprised." Tetsuya took out a Gym Introduction booklet and turned to the middle section. "Your photo, name, and introduction are all in here."
"Oh haha, is that so?" Brock looked at himself in the introduction and laughed awkwardly.
"So Brock, is there something you need from me?"
Tetsuya felt it was better to be direct. This feeling was too uncomfortable.
He hadn't made many friends in the decade or so since he came to this world, and he was a bit out of practice with chatting. It was a social death scene.
"Ah haha, actually, it's nothing much." Brock was a little surprised by Tetsuya's directness, but he spoke naturally.
"Mainly, I wanted to get to know you and exchange experiences on raising Pokemon. After all, it's rare to see a Trainer as capable as you. Your Combusken is very well-raised."
Brock took a bite of food and paused.
"I observed that your Combusken's fur is thick and smooth, with a shine, which shows that you usually take great care of it.
And based on the battle, I roughly calculated that your Combusken's speed, muscle development level, Fire Energy, etc., are all much stronger than its peers.
The most intuitive thing is the development level of your Combusken's calf muscles. Although there is no instrument to test it, you can see that it is at least 1.4 times that of its peers.
Moreover, all its skill proficiencies are very high, and each skill is linked perfectly.
I'm very interested in your training method. Your Combusken looks to be only about 3 or 4 months old, yet it has already evolved to the second stage.
Besides this, your Combusken..."
Tetsuya looked at the rambling Brock, feeling a bit stunned.
Brock saw Tetsuya's expression and felt he had been a bit out of line, quickly apologizing.
"Sorry, sorry. My goal is to become an excellent Breeder, so I just unconsciously started talking about these things."
Tetsuya waved his hand. "It's fine, it's fine. Brock, your breeding skills are really strong. You can tell so much just by looking."
"Actually, it's nothing, mainly just being careful," Brock said, rubbing the back of his head, a little embarrassed.
"No, no, it's really impressive. Most people can't measure data with their eyes. You're too humble," Tetsuya praised profusely.
"No, no, it's really just average, I..." Brock waved his hands wildly, being humble.
After a few back and forths like this, both of them looked at each other and laughed.
"Hahahaha, were we a bit too exaggerated?" Brock said to Tetsuya with a smile.
"It was a bit exaggerated, hahaha," Tetsuya was also very happy. "If you don't mind, we can share our experiences in breeding Pokemon."
"Actually, the main direction I'm currently training Combusken in is primarily Fighting type, with Fire type as support. Perhaps later I'll consider developing both types together."
Without waiting for Brock to reply, Tetsuya started sharing his experience in breeding Pokemon with Brock.
"In the early stages, I mainly focused on increasing Combusken's Speed. As you can see, Combusken has the hidden ability Speed Boost. In the early stages, combined with Fighting-type moves, the opponent basically can't cope after a while.
So, I'm still strengthening its strong points and covering up the relatively weak skill combination at medium to long range.
I mainly use Sparkle Grass, combined with Mysterious Powder, and supplemented with other materials, to enhance Combusken's Speed ability.
The main principle is using the Sparkle Grass's..."
Brock took out a notebook to record, occasionally offering his own opinions.
