"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry!!" The figure stopped. After realizing that he had bumped into someone, he quickly bent down and bowed to express his apologies.

  "It's okay," Torii said casually. "Be careful next time you walk."

  "I'm really sorry... I bothered you." Hearing that Torii didn't mean to bme him, the other person smiled awkwardly and said embarrassedly.

  Torii then raised his head and looked at the boy who was about his age.

  Tan brown skin, squinting eyes. Torii didn't know why, but he felt a sense of "familiarity" in his heart. This person gave him a strange feeling of familiarity.

  "Have we... met somewhere before?" Torii asked. After the words fell, he shook his head himself, dismissing the possibility.

  "Met?!" The other person was stunned. "No way, I'm from Pewter City in the Kanto region, and today is the first time I've come to Hoenn."

  "Oh, you're from Kanto." Torii said, then felt something was wrong. "Wait! Where did you say you were from?"

  "Pewter City in the Kanto region... Is there a problem?"

  "......" Torii carefully rubbed his eyes and stared at him. The other person's appearance seemed to be somewhat simir to the person in his impression, but the memory was a bit vague, and the ages didn't match up, so he couldn't confirm it for a while. "No, by the way, I haven't asked what your name is yet."

  "Brock, my name is Brock." The other person said woodenly.

  Torii was stunned. So it really was him.

  He didn't expect that he could meet such a famous person here, one of the few original characters who existed in his memory and were remembered.

  That Brock who accompanied Ash and experienced four League Conferences together?

  Torii narrowed his eyes. The Brock in front of him was still very young, only about ten years old, and not as mature and reliable as he was in the original work.

  "In my impression, Brock seems to be a Breeder too, right?" Torii wasn't sure. The description of the Breeder profession in the anime was very vague. After understanding a lot about this world, he deeply understood that the status of a Breeder wasn't inferior to that of a Trainer. Even in some ways, they were more rare and noble!

  "Maybe I'm mistaken. My name is Torii, from Petalburg City in the Hoenn region, but my hometown is Cerulean City in the Kanto region." Torii said.

  Brock was very enthusiastic. Facing Torii, a child who looked about the same age as him, he instantly aroused Brock's curiosity.

  "Torii, you said you were from Cerulean City? I've been to Cerulean City several times with my dad. Maybe we met at that time?"

  "Maybe," Torii said with a smile. "There's really a possibility of that."

  "Uh... I remember Petalburg City is in a very far pce, what are you doing in Steport City, Torii?" Brock's words flowed incessantly. "I want to see some books about Breeders."

  "Breeder?" Torii was a little surprised. "I'm pnning to go to the 'Breeder's Home' library."

  "Really?!" Brock's eyes lit up. "That's great, that pce seems to be the rgest library in this city... Are you also interested in Breeders, Torii?"

  "Yes, I might have to check some books about Pokémon training." Torii said. "Are you preparing to become a Breeder, Brock?"

  "Breeder..." Brock was stunned. "Of course!"

  "My grandmother was a Breeder. My grandmother taught me a lot of things when she was alive, so I'm very interested in Breeders and taking care of Pokémon."

  "Because my dad is a Gym Leader, I often come into contact with Pokémon... and I take care of most of the Pokémon in the Gym. Also, I hope that Pokémon can grow up healthily and happily under my care. This is what I look forward to the most." Brock said with a smile.

  "That's really amazing." Torii ughed. Compared to Brock, his original intention was much more ordinary.

  Brock, at least he was the child of a Gym Leader. Under the wave of this era, he was luckier than most people.

  Brock sighed. "Unfortunately, I still need to be reviewed to become a formal Breeder. I don't know how much longer I need to study before I can pass." After a moment of愣了一下, Brock continued, "And the assessment includes all the basic knowledge of the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh regions. Except for the Pokémon in Kanto... I don't know much about them at all."

  "There's no way, the Breeder assessment is a comprehensive test after all." Torii said. He also had a deep understanding of this point, and Hoenn, as the location of the Breeder headquarters, accounted for the rgest proportion of the content of the questions.

  "Fortunately, the Pokémon in the Unova region, which is retively far from us, and even the Kalos region, where the League has recently released promotional information, suggesting immigration, and pns to establish a new alliance within three years, are not included. Those pces are even more remote from us. Although the knowledge of the four regions is very cumbersome, it is not too difficult to understand." Torii comforted Brock.

  "Unova, Kalos?" Brock looked bnk.

  Torii smiled. For a ten-year-old boy, even if it was retively common geographical knowledge, no one would pay too much attention to it. If he didn't have the memory of his previous life and paid special attention to it, he wouldn't have delved into these things.

  Torii didn't expin, and continued to walk towards the Breeder's Home library with Brock. With simple words, Torii's image in Brock's mind instantly became taller.

  "Look, we're here."

  The most authoritative, rgest, and richest library in Steport City, and even the Hoenn region, known as the Sea of Books, the "Breeder's Home" library, had unimaginable specifications. The floors alone were divided into six, and the area covered was at least ten times rger than Aokiya. The capacity was estimated to allow tens of thousands of people to watch at the same time.

  However, although the scale was very rge, not everyone could view the books in it at will.

  For the first three floors, you can watch by paying, and from the fourth floor and above, you need some achievements or reputation, competitions, Gym Leader, Breeder certification, various medals... are all involved.

  Moreover, in order to prevent some precious books from being stolen, and the library known as the crystallization of wisdom from being attacked, the defense here was also very tight. Not to mention the Officer Jenny who patrolled outside, the hired Trainers and police officers were also paying attention to everything around them at all times. Inside the library, there were also special Psychic and Ghost-type Pokémon secretly guarding everything.

  For Brock, entering the first floor was enough to make him excited for a long time.

  You can't underestimate the books on the first floor just because the number of floors is low. Although most of them are just some basic analysis, even attribute restraint, common move effects, and the like, just these things are knowledge that most Trainers and ordinary people don't have. If a person could remember the thousands of basic books on the first floor of the Breeder's Home, then passing the Beginner Breeder's exam would be a piece of cake.

  The Breeder headquarters also had good intentions to put the basic knowledge about Pokémon and Trainers on the first floor for people with Steport City household registrations to watch for free. However, most people still preferred the second floor, biographies of characters, nearly novel-like books. Compared to boring knowledge, this kind of travel experiences text could allow them to enjoy themselves more. As for whether they could learn anything from it, it was unknown.

  "Let's go in." Looking at the magnificent and huge building, Torii's heart suddenly rose with an absurd idea.

  If a Trainer could have all the knowledge in this library, then how powerful would he be?

  However, this thought only appeared for a moment, and Torii ughed himself. How was it possible? Not to mention such a huge amount of books, just the human brain to understand it would probably not be able to comprehend the knowledge containing thousands and thousands of aspects in a lifetime.
