If it was really as his son Brock said, and this commoner Trainer named Tetsuya Tamaki possessed such talent, then he would be very worth investing in.
After all, befriending a future Breeding Master would be of great benefit to his family's descendants.
"Then what are you planning to do?"
Brock didn't force Brock to follow his own methods. After all, he would pass on his position to Brock sooner or later, and Brock still needed training.
"I talked with him a lot today. I can tell he's hiding quite a few things, but it doesn't matter.
His background determines that he's definitely eager for knowledge. I plan to talk with him directly again tomorrow."
Brock took out an apron, put it on, and prepared to start doing housework.
He didn't stop talking, "He's a smart person. Although he doesn't seem very good at socializing, the meaning in his words is quite clear.
When I revealed information to him, his reaction was also normal, with no sign of resistance.
The investment potential is very high. I already discussed the specific assessment with the Gym when I came back. They will investigate and provide a report."
"Hmm, okay. You can be in charge of it then. This is also your first investment target, right?"
Brock looked at the report and decided to let Brock make his own decision.
As for revealing some information, that was not a big deal at all.
"Yes, I understand." Brock's hand, which was mopping the floor, paused for a moment, but quickly continued.
"Dad, lift your feet up. Don't just sit here and read. You're holding the report upside down. Stop pretending. Go upstairs and check on your younger siblings. You don't care about them all day, you..."
Listening to his son's nagging, Brock quickly took the report and went upstairs.
His son was good in every way, except for this one thing – he was too talkative.
Brock walked up the stairs, his eyes, which were the same as Brock's, narrowed.
Tetsuya Tamaki, huh? Sounds like he has good potential. Interesting.
Meanwhile, Tetsuya, who had returned to his room at the Pokemon Center to rest, was completely unaware of the conversation between the two father and son.
After taking a shower and sitting on the sofa, Tetsuya began to think about his conversation with Brock today.
From Tetsuya's probing, Brock didn't seem to know a guy named Ash, at least not yet.
Tetsuya wasn't disappointed. He was mainly just confirming, after all, it was a childhood memory from his previous life.
In such a real world, Tetsuya wouldn't be surprised if Ash didn't exist. After all, based on his understanding, this world was too different from what was shown in the anime.
This was true in every aspect.
Especially in terms of tournament competitions, it was ridiculous that even a novice like Ash could make it to the Top 8.
But maybe it wasn't impossible, Tetsuya mused, stroking his chin.
Although he hadn't planned to participate in tournaments before, nor did he have the strength, not to mention being busy making money and studying.
But he had a general understanding of the situation. The Alliance tournaments in this world were divided into the Two-Year Format and the Unlimited Format.
The Alliance tournaments usually referred to the latter, and the videos Tetsuya watched were also of the latter.
No wonder, I thought these tournament participants were excessively strong, completely unlike what I saw in my previous life.
This was Tetsuya's thought the first time he learned about this.
The so-called Two-Year Format was for novice Trainers who had just started their journey not long ago.
Moreover, the Main Competition and Top 4 required for Trainer Level certification also referred to the Main Competition and Top 4 of the Unlimited Format, not the Two-Year Format.
The specific restrictions were for Trainers aged 16 and above, but under 18, who could register to compete using Pokemon they had captured and trained for no more than two years. The registration method was also the same: obtaining Eight Badges.
Basically, the strength of the participating Pokemon was Normal, with a few Elite, and quite a few Novice Level.
The Unlimited Format was different; there were no time restrictions.
Participants in the Main Competition were basically Elite Level Trainers and Quasi-Elite Four Level Trainers. Only after reaching the Elite Four would they switch to participating in the Elite Four Challenge. Normal Level Trainers couldn't even pass the Preliminary Round.
However, very few Trainers participated in the Two-Year Format. It seemed there were only about 200-300 each year, mostly commoner Trainers participating to fulfill a dream.
After all, for them, being a Normal Trainer was already their limit. Entering the Unlimited Format would only result in a first-round exit in the Preliminary Round, which was meaningless.
If they could get a good rank in the Two-Year Format, they could still boast to their descendants.
A very small number of second and third generation Trainers would play around in it, and the Top 8 were generally monopolized by these people.
Compared to the Unlimited Format, the Two-Year Format had another nickname in private, "Baby Competition."
From this name, one could see how dismissive Trainers were of the Two-Year Format.
It was said that the Alliance was working on modifying this issue, trying to change the tournament format, as the current Two-Year Format seemed to have little meaning.
But it couldn't be directly canceled, otherwise novice Trainers wouldn't have any experience at the beginning.
Tetsuya wasn't sure exactly how it would be changed now. It might be similar to how it was in the anime of his previous life, but it probably had nothing to do with him.
After all, in order to find a backer and obtain resources, Tetsuya had to showcase his strength in the Unlimited Format. The Two-Year Format had no reference value or meaning.
In previous years, there had even been cases of people using Elite Four Level Pokemon to participate in the Two-Year Format, shamelessly claiming that they had trained them for two years.
And the displayed capture time was indeed less than two years, so they were allowed to participate. In the end, fighting those people was truly like fighting babies.
Later, the Alliance investigated and found out that this guy was a powerful second generation. That Elite Four level Pokemon was indeed his, but the time was not just two years.
That Pokemon was the descendant of his father's Quasi-Champion Pokemon. It grew up with him from a young age, and he only put the Pokemon into a Poke Ball after nurturing it for 16 years.
When he participated in the tournament, the capture time was exactly over a year, which met the standard.
It's not that no one thought of this, but the key is, putting aside whether you have such a Pokemon, if you don't capture it, if it's defeated by someone else and captured with a Poke Ball, you'll have nowhere to cry.
After all, if it's not in a Poke Ball, even if it's a wild Pokemon, anyone can capture it.
Yet, that guy didn't step out of his house for the first sixteen years, stubbornly nurturing his only Pokemon at home.
He only captured the Pokemon when he officially turned 16 and could start his journey.
This is somewhat exploiting a loophole. It is said that this guy's final outcome was quite tragic, but with a powerful father protecting him, it probably wasn't too exaggerated.
As for using your father's Pokemon to participate or capturing powerful Pokemon to participate, regarding the former, putting aside whether your dad would beat you to death when you suggest it, ordinary Trainers don't have this condition.
As for the latter, if you can capture powerful Pokemon, it means you are quite strong yourself. So why would you participate in the Two-Year Format? Go to the Unlimited Format and showcase yourself.
Pokemon borrowed from others, defeated, and then captured will never listen to the Trainer. In game terms, their Affection is below 10.
They simply cannot be commanded. This situation is obvious at a glance and will result in disqualification.
If there really is a protagonist
I can only say I did my best, just forced it. See if there are any other bugs.
