July 12th, two days after Li Wei caught Galarian Farfetch'd, the second Pokémon Summer Camp began.
Li Wei also took a leave of absence that morning, but it wasn't because of the Summer Camp; he simply wanted to understand Galarian Farfetch'd better and build a bond.
Li Wei, Lucario, Silver Metagross, Arcanine, two Dragapult, and even Shaymin and Milotic… Li Wei's Pokemon were all gathered.
The children who were about to participate in the second Pokémon Summer Camp had also assembled under the guidance of Researcher Eiji and the Summer Camp teachers.
Because there was no barrier between the two sides, the children could easily see Li Wei training on his side.
Even though the children's attention was constantly drawn to Li Wei, Professor Professor Rowan did not get angry.
Professor Professor Rowan cleared his throat to get the children's attention, and when he saw them looking at him, he smiled and said, "Are you all very interested to see so many Pokemon?"
"Yes!!!"
"I really love Pokemon!"
Responding to Professor Professor Rowan were the enthusiastic children.
Looking at their innocent faces, Professor Professor Rowan couldn't help but smile.
"You will, you will also turn 10 very soon, become official Trainers, and have your own Pokemon…"
Under Professor Professor Rowan's guidance, the children envisioned their futures, and the second Summer Camp officially began.
On the other side, Li Wei, Lucario, and the others were chatting with Galarian Farfetch'd.
Li Wei's gaze slowly swept over his Pokemon, finally resting on Farfetch'd.
"As you can see, I am a Breeder. You don't need to force yourself to train for battles. Just do what you want to do."
"Ga?" ʕ • ᴥ • ʔ … … What he wanted to do?
Farfetch'd tilted his head, still a bit confused.
Li Wei added, "It means doing things that make you happy, just like Shaymin likes to play hide-and-seek, Metagross likes to battle, and Arcanine likes to run in the wilderness."
Hearing Li Wei mention hide-and-seek, Shaymin chirped excitedly:
"Shaymin!" ୧ ꒰ • ̀ ᴗ • ́ ꒱ ୨ (Hide-and-seek! Let's play hide-and-seek together!)
Li Wei smiled and said, "No rush, just take your time to think."
Farfetch'd nodded slightly, letting out a "Ga" to indicate he understood.
Farfetch'd had just been born, so it was too early to ask him what he wanted to do with his life.
Li Wei just wanted to tell Farfetch'd that he could choose to do what he wanted and liked to do.
Just like his grandfather's Farfetch'd, who really liked to learn cooking, which is why the old man caught him and taught him culinary skills.
If his Farfetch'd also liked to learn to cook, Li Wei could also emulate the old man's teaching.
Even if Farfetch'd wanted to be a slacker and live his life as a lazy Duck Duck, Li Wei could afford to support him.
Anyway, he already had battle-loving Pokemon.
...
In the afternoon, Li Wei had to get back to his busy work.
Shaymin was playing hide-and-seek with Eevee and Turtwig; as long as he ate and drank, his strength naturally improved.
Lucario and Metagross were training hard.
Arcanine running in the wilderness was also a form of training; Li Wei's Arcanine had astonishing stamina.
This was also related to Li Wei giving Arcanine special treatment.
Stamina Enhancer (Strong Version), special Moomoo Milk with unique effects, special dishes, plus scientific Energy Cube feeding… It would be a problem if Arcanine's stamina wasn't outstanding.
Milotic was swimming in the water, training her Water-type moves herself. Milotic had recently felt a sense of urgency.
Seeing other Pokemon getting stronger little by little, Milotic was not to be outdone.
She looked like she was resting in the water, but in reality, she was absorbing Water-type energy from the current.
Dragapult mother was still teaching her child moves; she wanted to see her child surpass her.
Farfetch'd was pondering his life.
Ever since Li Wei told Duck Duck that morning to find what he wanted to do, Duck Duck couldn't figure it out.
(If you can't figure it out, just go and do it. Once you do it, you'll know if you like it.)
Lucario, as a senior, offered Farfetch'd a very valuable suggestion.
"Ga!" | • ' - ' • ) و ✧
Farfetch'd decided to go on a journey to find the meaning of his life and what he wanted to do.
The staff at the Breeding Center had all seen Li Wei's newly caught Farfetch'd.
Even if they didn't recognize them, as long as they didn't randomly attack humans, Pokemon could come and go freely in the Breeding Center.
Farfetch'd was naturally no exception.
Xiao Meng Jie, who was managing the Berry fields, and her own Farfetch'd, saw Farfetch'd come to the Berry fields.
Xiao Meng Jie squatted down, a smile on her face,
"Farfetch'd, why did you come here?"
"Ga!"
Xiao Meng Jie did not possess Tokiwa Power, so she couldn't understand what Farfetch'd was saying.
"Farfetch'd, what is he saying?"
Xiao Meng Jie's regular Farfetch'd shook his head.
Galarian Farfetch'd said nothing, meaning simply: "Just looking around."
Xiao Meng Jie had a flash of inspiration and chirped, "Are you interested in Berry cultivation?"
Xiao Meng Jie suddenly remembered something.
Lien's grandfather, who was Li Wei's grandfather's Farfetch'd, had sought him out to become his apprentice.
Now Farfetch'd had also come to the Berry fields, could it be that he was interested in Berry cultivation?
"But to learn Berry cultivation, you still have to learn from Lien's grandfather, I haven't mastered it yet."
Thinking that Farfetch'd was interested in Berry cultivation, Xiao Meng Jie excitedly introduced the berries to Farfetch'd.
"Look, this is the dragon fruit planted by Li Wei, or more accurately, planted under Lien's grandfather's guidance."
Currently, the dragon fruit had successfully rooted and sprouted.
"This pink one is the taotao fruit, it's very sweet, do you want to try one?"
Farfetch'd shook his head, "Ga!"
Yesterday afternoon, Farfetch'd had already seen Li Wei make perfect quality Energy Cubes using berries.
The production of Energy Cubes was a purification of berry energy; simply eating berries was rather ordinary.
Under Xiao Meng Jie's enthusiastic introduction, Farfetch'd realized that he didn't seem to like cultivating berries.
"Ga!" (I'm leaving, Duck!)
Farfetch'd raised his wing, greeted Xiao Meng Jie, and walked away, dragging his thick leek.
"Take care, Farfetch'd!"
Xiao Meng Jie was not disappointed that Farfetch'd wasn't interested and still enthusiastically saw him off.
Immediately after, Farfetch'd passed through the Berry fields and arrived at the living area of Turtwig and Eevee.
"Shaymin~" (Want to play hide-and-seek together?)
Shaymin's voice immediately echoed in Farfetch'd's mind.
Yesterday, Farfetch'd had already played hide-and-seek with Shaymin and Eevee, and he lost every time.
Because Farfetch'd's thick leek was too big, there was simply nowhere to hide; either his head or tail would show.
Farfetch'd quickly shook his head,
"Ga!"
I, Farfetch'd, swear I will never play hide-and-seek again in this life!
Shaymin wasn't disheartened; there were many other Pokemon to play hide-and-seek with him.
Farfetch'd continued his journey to find the meaning of his life.
