Pokeblocks

The two of them arrived at the Pokeblock manufacturing room along a small path, and just as they sat down, the bell for class rang.

To avoid being harassed by those girls again, Chen Yue directly pulled Renpei to sit in a corner of the classroom.

On the desks were a Berry Mixer and a box of various-shaped Berries. These two items were crucial for making Pokeblocks.

Chen Yue pulled the Berry Mixer in front of him and started operating it with a serious expression.

Seeing this scene, Renpei felt that this new student was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

It seemed... he wasn't a bad person.

No longer worried about facing campus violence, Renpei breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Have you taken a Pokeblock manufacturing class before?"

"No," Chen Yue replied. He had only seen a Berry Mixer in the games.

"In that case, you can take a look at this."

Renpei handed over a book with a long string of characters on the cover:

"Usage Manual for the Berry Mixer and Comprehensive Guide to Pokeblocks."

"Thank you," Chen Yue said as he took the book and began to flip through it seriously.

As a member of a family that had received nine years of compulsory education in gardening, the content in this book wasn't too complicated for him.

"The Berries contain a special gelatinous substance that can transform liquid Berry Juice into edible solid form."

"Merely the gelatinous substance contained in a single Berry is insufficient to convert liquid into a solid, but through expert research, it has been discovered that:

If this gelatinous substance undergoes five processes: squeezing, high temperature, stirring, electricity, and freezing, its effectiveness can be greatly enhanced."

"Based on the above principles, we have invented the Berry Mixer.

—Excerpt from 'Berry Mixer Theory.'"

Chen Yue read for a while, put the book down, and took out two Berries from the box, putting them into the Berry Mixer experimentally.

The Berry Mixer began to operate.

A faint humming sound emanated from it, and Chen Yue leaned in to listen closely. He could hear the Berries being crushed and the sound of the juice being mixed very clearly.

This process lasted only ten seconds.

Chen Yue continued to follow the instructions from the book.

The first step was to extract juice from the Berries, the second step involved controlling the temperature to heat the juice, the third step required stirring while hot, the fifth step was to use electricity, and the sixth step involved freezing and shaping.

These six steps appeared simple but were actually quite challenging to execute.

The creator had to remain completely focused, constantly monitoring the dashboard on the Berry Mixer, controlling the temperature of heating, the intensity of stirring, the strength of the electric current, and the temperature of freezing gas.

A single mistake could result in the failure of the Pokeblock formation.

Pokeblocks also come in various flavors and qualities.

A perfect Pokeblock is crystal clear, with no impurities visible even in the sunlight.

Correspondingly, its manufacturing difficulty is extremely high.

"Swish!"

The Berry Mixer came to a stop.

A strange green liquid flowed out of the outlet.

Failure.

Chen Yue contemplated, continuing to flip through the book.

Beside him, Renpei saw this and comforted him, "Don't worry, take it slow. The first time I made a Pokeblock, the Berry Juice evaporated due to the high temperature."

Chen Yue wasn't in a hurry; he was thinking about something else.

squeezing, high temperature, stirring, electricity, and freezing.

Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam.

These five processes happened to be something his Dragonite could perform.

If Dragonite could precisely control its flames, lightning, and freezing abilities, and combined them with suitable containers, could he make Pokeblocks by hand?

This idea was quite bold.

While Chen Yue was brainstorming, he casually took a few Berries from the box and threw them into the Berry Mixer.

His right hand casually controlled the machine.

Five minutes later, accompanied by a "ding."

A strangely shaped Pokeblock, entirely green with a few streaks of red fruit peel impurities floating inside, slid out of the outlet.

Renpei was astonished, "You! You! What's going on here?"

Chen Yue said with exasperation, "Would you believe me if I said I stumbled upon a dead mouse like a blind cat?"

The teacher on the podium heard the voice, adjusted her glasses, and a white light flashed on the smooth surface.

"Let me see, which student has successfully made a Pokeblock today?"

As she spoke, she walked towards Chen Yue.

But when she saw the ugly green Pokeblock, her face turned black instantly, and she gritted her teeth:

"You guys, I've been teaching you for two years, and you can't even get the basic shape right. You always produce these messy and ugly things for me."

"How are you going to survive in society like this in the future? Huh? You can't win in Pokemon battles, you can't make Pokeblocks properly, and all you think about is love. What else can you do? Who made this? Stand up for me!"

Chen Yue stood up and blinked innocently:

"Sorry, teacher. I'm a new student who just arrived today, and this is my first time learning to make Pokeblocks."

The female teacher performed a face-changing technique on the spot when she heard this, and said in a gentle tone, "Ah? Oh! That's alright then. You did great, please have a seat!"

"Teacher, you're so biased..." a male student couldn't help but mutter quietly.

"Humph!" The female teacher snorted, "Biased? Have you looked at yourself? You made something for the first time, didn't you? If I remember correctly, it seemed to be a lump of ice, right?"

The male student couldn't say anything.

...

The morning passed quickly.

When it was time to leave school, Chen Yue went to the elementary school section and found Flower, taking her to the cafeteria for lunch.

In the morning, Gus settled them in and then returned to the Oldale Town.

Although the Pokemon school is a boarding school, it usually doesn't prevent students from going out. However, due to the school's location on the outskirts of Slateport City and the inconvenient transportation, most students don't usually go out unless they have Flying-type Pokemon that can carry people. In addition, the school has basic facilities such as a cafeteria, dormitories, hospital, and battle areas, so they have no need to go out.

"Onii-Chan!" Flower ran over with Plusle and Minun in her arms.

Chen Yue glanced at the two little guys and said, "Didn't I buy two Poke Balls for you? Why don't you put them inside?"

Flower's little face wrinkled up. "But the Poke Balls are so small, Little Red and Little Blue will feel stuffy inside."

"Alright." Chen Yue led her to the cafeteria and bought two portions of seafood fried rice at window number one.

"How's school?" Chen Yue asked.

Flower said with a bitter face, "They keep crying, and it's annoying."

Flower's class is a group of four or five-year-old children, and it's inevitable that they will cry when they leave their parents for such a long time.

Hearing this, Chen Yue suddenly thought of something.

Except for the day they first entered the dungeon, he had never seen Flower cry.

Moreover, he always had a strange feeling in his heart.

Peter lived next door to his house, but on the day they met in the wild, Peter clearly acted like he didn't recognize him...

There were no items related to her "Brother" in Flower's house...

So, is Flower's "Brother" a real existence?

And is this instance world really real?

Chen Yue glanced at his mission panel.

If...

If he were to return to Kanto now, would this instance Kanto be the same as the one in his previous instance?
