After bidding farewell to Grandpa Shin, Alex arrived at a small river and skillfully whistled.
Before long, a Feebas, entirely brownish-gray with somewhat tattered scales, emerged from the water.
Alex, familiar with the routine, took out a Water-type energy cube and threw it into the water.
The Feebas swallowed it at just the right moment.
[Congratulations to the Host for increasing Feebas's happiness value from 10% to 40%. Reward: ten bags of gold kela, one rare candy, and one Life Fruit (can permanently increase a Pokémon's HP individual value).]
The rewards were exactly the same.
Alex didn't mind; he just stroked Feebas's head. "Feebas, do you want to come home with me?"
This Feebas was discovered by Alex in a muddy puddle after a heavy rain during the spring equinox.
At the time, he took it home and raised it for a while, but due to his studies, he could only temporarily release it back into the river.
Later, he found that this Feebas seemed able to sense his aura.
Whenever he came to the riverside, he could see this Feebas following him.
Now that he had decided not to go to university, he might as well bring it back to the Nursery.
It would add some vitality to his Nursery.
Plop!
After hearing this, Feebas paused, then its somewhat dull fish eyes looked at Alex in disbelief, as if asking, "Really?"
They had been together for some time, and they generally understood each other's words and meanings.
Moreover, Alex now had Everstone Power.
"Of course."
Alex smiled and took out a Poké Ball from his waist.
He also activated his Eye of Exploration.

"Hmm?"
Alex's eyes lit up.
Looking at the uncontrollable joy revealed in its dull fish eyes, he couldn't help but gently tap its head. "You're really easy to satisfy!"
Just saying he would take it home caused its happiness value to jump from 40% to 95%.
If one had to describe this level of happiness, it would be a blank mind, an uncontrollable pleasure.
After glancing at the aptitude energy cube recipe, Alex found it even more interesting. "Good luck, both of these are suitable for you."
Then, without further ado, he recalled Feebas into the Poké Ball.
As for the Prism Scale...
Alex didn't plan to use it on Feebas right now.
As a God-tier Breeder,
He naturally knew the best time to use a Prism Scale on Feebas.
Ding... ding... ding-dong.
Accompanied by several red lights, Feebas was successfully captured into the Poké Ball.
Although he had long passed his chuunibyou phase,
Capturing his first Pokémon at this moment, Alex couldn't help but feel an indescribable excitement. He looked left and right, and finding no one, he raised the Poké Ball, striking a standard peace sign pose. "I caught a Feebas!"
When he came back to his senses,
He found it a bit funny and quickly put away the Poké Ball.
Then he walked along the river.
His purpose this time was not only to capture Feebas but also to check on the irrigation ditch.
When his parents were still alive, to make water access convenient, they diverted water from this small river, forming a channel that connected directly to the Plantation.
For this, they even dug a water storage pond within the Plantation.
He needed to check the condition of the channel.
After seeing the condition of the channel, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The channel was only dry, with some branches inside; there was no major problem.
He just needed to go to the source and clear the blockage.
Alex did not go to the source immediately but chose to go home, to the Plantation behind the Nursery.
Since his parents passed away,
He hadn't really taken care of it, only occasionally returning to pick some pecha berries when the peach fruit trees matured. Now, calculating the time, it was almost time for the pecha berries to ripen.
Just right to pick a few pecha berries to satisfy his craving...
As he walked, Alex pondered...
It had been eighteen years since he transmigrated to this world.
He already understood this world thoroughly.
Clearly,
This was a parallel Pokémon world!
And it was an original, unadulterated Pokémon world, with no other worlds integrated into it!
In history books,
Based on the existence of Pokémon, history was roughly divided into ancient, modern, and contemporary eras.
In ancient history.
Arceus created the first Pokémon—Mew,
Which then gradually evolved into the existence of various Pokémon!
In modern history.
In 1897, Professor Bruce P. successfully used berries to create the Poké Ball, marking the beginning of modern "Pokémon Studies."
Since then, Pokémon Studies developed rapidly.
The profession of Pokémon Trainer gradually became the key to the relationship between humans and Pokémon.
The power of Pokémon, once strictly controlled, gradually transitioned to reasonable guidance.
For example,
In 1924, the first Alliance Tournament was held, and the Trainer who won the Champion title received immense honor and rich rewards.
Since then, large and small Pokémon battles, both between Alliances and within Alliances, sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
The status of Trainers steadily increased.
By now,
Pokémon had entered every household, becoming indispensable companions in daily life.
And under these circumstances, the world's power began to re-evolve, gradually forming centralized organizations represented by Alliances!
In this parallel world, Alex was located in Parasol Town, which was within the jurisdiction of Parasol City in the East China Alliance.
Other Alliances,
Were no different from those Alex had seen in animations in his previous world.
The Kalos Alliance, the Unova Alliance, the Alola region...
Even.
When he was fifteen years old,
Alex saw a "familiar face" in the Alliance Tournament—Dande!
His Charizard, with an unparalleled aura, instantly knocked out his challenger!
Only then did Alex realize.
This world not only had Dande,
But also Elite Four Lance, and Cynthia who was challenging the Sinnoh Alliance Elite Four...
Most of the people from his memories could be traced.
Hmm...
A very interesting parallel world.
After transmigrating,
His first wish was to become a Pokémon Master!
But now it was different.
Eighteen years of ordinary life,
Had smoothed out too much of his youthful passion.
He'd rather be a Breeder.
A Breeder could stay with more Pokémon.
Lost in thought...
He had already arrived at the Plantation behind his house.
Having been neglected for years, the abandoned planting ground was overgrown with weeds, lush green but also messy.
His family's Plantation was quite large.
Overall, it was roughly the size of a soccer field.
Originally, it would be filled with corresponding plants every season, flourishing immensely.
Now, only a few flourishing peach fruit trees and orange fire fruit trees remained.
The peach fruit trees were growing luxuriantly, and it was the fruiting season.
"Hmm?"
Just as Alex was sighing,
A greenish-blue shadow instantly flashed across his vision.
