Chapter 26 Getting Along

Outside the dwelling that Darren chose, there was a sturdy large wooden stake that he had stumbled upon in the forest and brought back.

At the moment, a Swablu was perched on Darren's shoulder, quietly allowing him to observe. To train a Pokemon, whether one is a trainer or a breeder, one must have a clear understanding of their Pokemon's future position and growth.

When Swablu grows up, it won't be able to conquer the world with just one move like its current "Peck" technique. At best, it is only a catalyst to promote Swablu's development and a transitional technique in its current strength enhancement process. It is destined to be eliminated in the future.

Before this, Darren had learned a lot of information about Swablu. For now, there are only a few techniques that a newly hatched Swablu can successfully use.

Peck, Growl, and Feather Dance, much like most newly hatched Pokemon, it has very few techniques.

Therefore, Darren can only train Swablu with its "Peck" technique at the moment.

Before that, Darren helped Swablu with its flight training. As a flying Pokemon, it must quickly master flying. Although Swablu will easily turn this into an instinct as it grows, time is of the essence now, and Darren has no choice but to include this in its tasks.

At the same time, physical training is also essential. This training is very important for most Pokemon and cannot be neglected.

At this moment, Swablu has just been born, and the best physical training for it is to constantly flap its wings and fly around, which will greatly help its growth.

In addition, the large wooden stake that Darren brought back plays a role in the training of Swablu's "Peck" technique.

At first, Swablu's immature beak could only leave a small white mark on the wooden stake, without any killing power.

But with continued use, the light emanating from its beak began to increase significantly, giving Darren hope.

Swablu did not disappoint him, reminding him of it's excellent potential. After using the simple Peck technique more than a dozen times, it was already improved noticeably, although still far from being perfect.

After training for a period of time, Swablu needed to replenish its diet with nutrition to keep up with the fast-paced improvement...

"Don't worry, relax and carefully feel the energy changes," Darren comforted Swablu with a gentle tone as it looked at him with a wronged expression after accidentally hitting his head on the wooden stake during the use of its Peck move training.

Due to Swablu being a recently hatched Pokemon and unable to handle intense training, Darren ceased its training after accomplishing a certain level of training.

Now is the first day of Swablu's training, although time is tight, it cannot exceed its limit.

In addition to training, Darren started to chat with Swablu.

Lying on the ground, looking at the azure sky, Swablu also perches on Darren's body. They lay there comfortably, enjoying their brief leisure time.

As they chatted, Darren told Swablu about his experiences.

"... And that's how I was taken in by Granny Oran in the old orphanage--"

"--And a year ago, I met a Beautifly that was just a Wurmple at first..."

"... What were they all doing now?"

"It had been a while since they left the old orphanage..."

"But it wasn't the time to go back. If he had a chance, he would definitely introduce Swablu to everyone in the old orphanage."

Bit by bit, Darren told Swablu about his experiences, and Swablu listened carefully. Sometimes, they also looked forward to the future. No matter how difficult things were, Swablu responded confidently, whether it understood or not.

"Heh, it was getting late. It is time to prepare some food."

After chatting for a long time, the two of them were not satisfied, but Darren's stomach growled, so he had to prepare food.

Darren felt that he cooked well, but he didn't know if it was because of his experience cooking alone in his past life or taking care of the kids at the old orphanage, or if the ingredients in this world were just of high quality.

After everything was prepared, it soon became night. This was the third night since Darren entered the forest and the end of the first day of since Swablu hatched.

After a day of getting used to each other, Darren had a general understanding of Swablu's situation, and he was preparing more thoroughly for tomorrow's special training, which would be much more challenging than today.

At the beginning of the training, Darren planned to focus on practicing with Swablu. As for actual combat, he decided to postpone it.

And for himself, Darren was also not planning to relax. He had some books prepared by Master Shozo that could help him make good use of his spare time.

From then on, Darren was already preparing for the Intermediate Breeder Exam. The next exam was also held once a year. Compared with the Beginner Breeder Exam, there was not any new content added to the Intermediate Exam, but it imposed restrictions on the examiners based on the existing content or extended the content vertically. It could be said that if a person who had just passed the Beginner Breeder Exam participated in the Intermediate Exam, it would not necessarily end in tragedy. However, the core of the Intermediate Exam was to select the best from the best. If that year's level was not very outstanding, the quota would definitely not be expanded.

Intermediate Breeders already had the qualification to apply for a Breeding House from the League, and the most important requirement for applying for a Breeding House was that the applicant must have a knowledge level of Intermediate Breeder or above.

Of course, there were also some "illegal" breeding houses in the public, mostly privately run. Although they did not affect the legitimate ones operation, they lacked the credibility, standards, and trustworthiness of breeding houses with legitimate licenses from the League.

Moreover, with the increase in trainers and therefore an increase in demand for breeders, there were often breeding houses established with dubious practices, which seriously damaged the reputation of the industry. Therefore, the League was also considering whether to raise the threshold for operating a breeding house, making it an exclusive job for breeders.

If a novice breeder was the starting point, then an intermediate breeder had the capital to monetize their knowledge.

"Take a rest." Closing his notebook, Darren smiled at the Swablu still accompanying him. He could tell that the Swablu was already tired after a day of training, but it was only because of him that the little guy couldn't

sleep.

Darren put down his notebook and lay down himself.
