"A bet?" Torii inquired.
"Yes, nothing major. Altaria still harbors resentment towards me, refusing to entrust the Swablu to me. However, I can't abandon my research on the Swablu, so I agreed to help it find a Trainer with outstanding potential to take care of the Swablu. Initially, I chose Jun, but now I've switched it to you."
"Me?" Torii was taken aback.
"Yes, this assessment might be a bit difficult for girls like Jun, who have lived in rge families since childhood, but for you, there should be a glimmer of hope," Master Katsumune stated.
"As long as you can successfully hatch the Swablu's egg and, within a month, along with the Swablu, gain its mother's approval, your trial will be considered complete."
"For this month, you will be staying here alone. I will prepare food and living tools for a period of time. Next, you will face the environment of Mt. Chimney alone. During this time, you cannot bring other Pokémon, only rely on the Swablu… for survival. These are Altaria's conditions," Master Katsumune expined. He felt that Altaria's condition was very shameless, but when he thought of his experiment, he couldn't care less.
Upon hearing this, Torii immediately froze.
What a joke, making him live here alone for a month was simply killing him!
Putting aside the aggressive Pokémon, boredom alone could torture him to death.
More importantly, it wasn't over yet, he still had to gain Altaria's approval?!
"It seems they've fought enough. Next is your turn to enter."
Under the back-and-forth competition, even though Torii was on the ground, he could feel the strong fluctuations in the high altitude.
Torii looked up and slowly saw Altaria and Pidgeot descending slowly, eventually stopping in front of the two of them.
"Long time no see." Master Katsumune greeted Altaria, but Altaria ignored him and instead turned its gaze to Torii.
"He is the Trainer I have chosen..." Master Katsumune said calmly.
"At your request, I brought the person to be assessed. Next, he will complete a month-long trial with your bloodline. Rest assured, I guarantee you with the reputation of a Top Breeder that your offspring will never tarnish your bloodline. Its growth will shock you."
Altaria, a proud and elegant Pokémon, after combining with Pidgeot, didn't know that Pidgeot had already been captured and fell into Master Katsumune's conspiracy...
And after everything became a foregone conclusion, Master Katsumune appeared in front of it.
Then, a conflict arose.
Master Katsumune demanded the Pokémon egg in vain. Then, after a battle, this bet was made.
After all, Altaria did not break up with Pidgeot, but only resented Pidgeot for not telling it beforehand.
With a long cry, Altaria turned its head, and Master Katsumune, understanding its meaning, directly said to Torii: "Are you ready? Now you still have room to refuse."
Refuse?
Things had reached this point, how could Torii refuse.
"What should I do?" Torii gnced at Altaria and asked Master Katsumune again.
"It's very simple, come back with me first. When everything is ready by this time tomorrow, it will be when you start your month of wilderness survival."
The so-called preparation was for Torii to leave the Poké Balls, carry emergency supplies and food, and return here alone.
In one month, Torii not only had to successfully hatch Swablu, but also had to act as Swablu's Trainer, training it to be stronger, thereby gaining Altaria's approval.
Originally, Master Katsumune wanted to capture Swablu himself, but Altaria's stubborn temper forced him to give up this choice.
So Master Katsumune settled for second best, finding Torii to complete the bet for himself. His main purpose was only to verify and research.
Although it was a pity that he couldn't capture Swablu himself, it was no longer so important to someone with Master Katsumune's status. Now in his eyes, there was only the obsession with researching new things.
"Whether intergenerational inheritance is successful depends entirely on you, Torii." Speaking solemnly to Torii, Master Katsumune was also very nervous, and he couldn't guarantee whether Swablu could inherit the moves of its mother and Pidgeot.
"Draco Meteor... other moves don't matter, but only with this move does it mean that Swablu's Dragon-type talent is completely activated."
On the private pne, Master Katsumune expined the precautions to Torii, as well as the key points of this experiment.
In itself, even if Altaria re-bred with Dragonite, the probability of inheriting a move like Draco Meteor was very small, not to mention that it was now intergenerational inheritance. Master Katsumune was very concerned about whether the potion he prepared could work.
This Altaria is the overlord of Mt. Chimney.
According to Master Katsumune, even compared to the Pokémon trained by the Elite Four, Altaria's strength would not be inferior.
His Pidgeot was still inferior to Altaria in strength, so Torii had a long way to go to gain Altaria's approval.
The reason for not letting Torii conduct the assessment immediately was that Master Katsumune still needed to teach him some knowledge about training moves, raising young Pokémon, hatching Pokémon eggs, and better stimuting the potential of Pokémon.
Fortunately, Torii's learning speed could keep up with Master Katsumune's teaching.
For Master Katsumune, this bet was very important to him. The process of Torii training Swablu was the process of verifying his results. What extent Swablu could reach in a month and how much potential it could explode was also something Master Katsumune cared about.
Now that he had Torii, an excellent Breeder, Master Katsumune's worries were relieved.
Originally, for this bet, if he didn't execute it himself, there were many other young Trainers who met Altaria's potential, but more or less did not meet his requirements.
Torii's appearance did give Master Katsumune hope.
............
After a night of preparation, Torii remembered the precautions that Master Katsumune said.
Torii also remembered the approximate terrain here. After drilling into here, there was no shortage of Pokémon that were aggressive to people. In the beginning, it could be said that Torii would have difficulty moving.
Fortunately, the nutrient solution that Master Katsumune prepared for it could hatch the Pokémon egg at the fastest speed.
In the long culture medium, there was a sufficient light blue nutrient solution. This liquid was personally prepared by Master Katsumune according to the situation of Altaria and Pidgeot, which could most effectively stimute the potential of this new life.
It was also the main thing to verify in this test.
If he successfully completed this assessment, Torii would not only be able to successfully enter Celestial Academy, the cradle of geniuses, but this new life that had experienced a month of trials and tributions with him, Swablu, which according to Master Katsumune would have extremely high talent, would also become Torii's Pokémon after they gained Altaria's approval!
