Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was June 24th.
Fang Yuan was officially on summer vacation.
Excitingly, he would be going to the public breeder's to buy a beginner Pokémon egg in a little while.
In Flower Country, there are four conditions to becoming a Trainer.
First, be at least sixteen years old; second, pass the Trainer physical examination; third, pay taxes annually; and fourth, own a Pokémon.
Fang Yuan's age was just right, and the physical examination was organized uniformly by the school, which he also passed. Once he got the Pokémon egg, he could directly take the breeder's certificate to the Pokémon Center to pay and register.
Once the Pokémon hatched and he activated his Trainer ID, he could call himself a Trainer.
Professional Trainers have the right to use 95% of public facilities in various countries for free, and they need to pass the Trainer Association's rigorous assessments to obtain a license, which has high requirements, so the benefits are very good.
The requirements to become an ordinary Trainer are lower, but the benefits are not bad either.
The main point is that currently, only Trainers are legally allowed to possess Pokémon and Poké Balls privately in society.
In fact, just having the qualification to enjoy preferential services at facilities such as Pokémon Centers and Friendship Stores is something that people who own Pokémon cannot refuse.
It can be said that an ordinary Trainer status is an essential pass; otherwise, there would be nowhere to treat Pokémon if they get sick or injured. You should know that private Pokémon Hospitals are almost non-existent in Flower Country, and all medical services are monopolized by the Pokémon Centers under the Trainer Association.
In the past half month, Fang Yuan had been trying to learn more things, and at the same time, he improved the grass-type Pokémon breeding plan he had conceived.
No one noticed Fang Yuan's changes, not even his parents felt anything strange, after all, even with two sets of memories, Fang Yuan was still himself.
"Son, are you ready? Don't miss the appointment time," Fang Yuan's dad shouted from the living room.
"Just a moment." Inside the bedroom, Fang Yuan put on his clothes, looked in the mirror, and tried to make himself look more natural.
"Coming!"
After quickly answering, Fang Yuan's dad and mom smiled in unison, both able to hear the excitement in Fang Yuan's tone.
Fang Yuan's dad and mom didn't have many holidays, but they both took leave today. The reason was simple: to accompany Fang Yuan to the breeder's to buy and reserve a Pokémon egg.
For Fang Yuan's age, he must be accompanied by a guardian.
Moreover, if an adult didn't pay, Fang Yuan couldn't afford it himself. You should know that all his savings were in that bank card for storing New Year's money, and it seemed that there were only six thousand yuan left.
This amount of money was enough to buy an ordinary pet, but forget about a Pokémon egg.
Fang Yuan was indeed very excited, after all, he had been waiting for half a month.
After Fang Yuan came out of the bedroom, the family didn't dawdle any longer and set off directly.
...
Peaceful City has five high schools, among which only Peaceful City First High School is jointly recognized by the Trainer Association and the Ministry of Education and is qualified to train Trainers. There are about 400 students in the graduating class of Peaceful City First High School, and these people will make reservations at the breeder's these days and pick a day to buy a Pokémon egg.
On the street leading to the breeder's, parents were constantly taking their students there, and some parents were rushing back with Pokémon eggs in their arms.
Peaceful City was not small, but it was inevitable to run into acquaintances in this situation. Not long after going out, Fang Yuan immediately said "oh" and ran into someone he knew, a classmate from Class 12 of the second year of high school.
"Uncle Lin, Lin Jing." Fang Yuan grinned and walked forward to say hello.
The man was wearing casual clothes, about the same age as Fang Yuan's parents. The girl next to him was very pretty, with a heroic spirit and a very special temperament.
"Oh, you're Xiao Jing's classmates, hello." Uncle Lin replied with a smile.
Fang Yuan's parents had met him a few times at parent-teacher conferences, and they immediately started chatting politely.
Fang Yuan also wanted to chat with this Uncle Lin a bit more, but seeing his parents chatting enthusiastically, he could only helplessly look at his classmate.
This Uncle Lin is a legendary figure in Peaceful City, the captain of the Peaceful City Criminal Police Team, who has solved many cases of theft and murder using Pokémon, and is very famous in Peaceful City.
This is the first living professional Trainer Fang Yuan has ever seen...
"Fang Yuan, guess what I..." Lin Jing said to Fang Yuan.
"Growlithe." Fang Yuan said directly.
"You're so boring." Lin Jing said in a dull tone.
It's so frustrating to have someone guess what you're going to say halfway through.
"You don't need to guess to know..." Fang Yuan was too lazy to complain. This Lin Jing was raised by Uncle Lin as a police officer since she was a child, which everyone in the class knew. And Growlithe and Arcanine are almost standard equipment for Flower Country police officers.
Growlithe, with its clever, brave, and loyal personality, and keen sense of smell, never forgets any scent it has smelled, no matter what happens. It can perceive the other party's emotions by smelling their scent, and is known as the most suitable Pokémon to be a police dog.
Although this kind of Pokémon is very rare, with Lin Jing's family's conditions, it is easy to reserve one and afford to raise it.
Meeting his classmate was just an accident. Because they were going the same way, the two families walked together for a while, but as they approached the Breeder House, they had to separate because they needed to find their respective guides.
After the Lin family and daughter left, Fang's father suddenly touched his chin and said, "Son, are you planning to date after graduation?"
"Waste of time." Fang Yuan said calmly.
"I think this Lin Jing is very good." Fang's father said seriously.
"I'm just afraid she won't like your son." Fang's mother said.
"..." Fang Yuan looked at the sky.
His parents are good in every way, but they're a bit unreliable, so tiring.
...
"Are you number 51, the Fang Yuan family?"
"We are."
After arriving here, Fang's father made a phone call, and soon, a young man with glasses walked out of the Breeder House, smiling and welcoming them.
Seeing this person, Fang Yuan's spirits lifted. It was finally about to begin.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone, please follow me. By the way, my name is Baishi." After finding the guests, the young man with glasses who walked out of the Breeder House smiled again.
Publicly run Breeder Houses and Pokémon Centers are both subordinate institutions of the Trainer Association. Currently, the only places in Flower Country where Pokémon and Pokémon eggs can be legally sold are publicly run Breeder Houses.
Buying and selling Pokémon through other channels is illegal, but there are exceptions, but they are rare.
It is worth mentioning that the owners and most of the employees of the Breeder Houses are formal Breeders who have passed the Breeder Association's assessment, and are proficient in many Pokémon breeding knowledge, including hatching and care.
Therefore, every Pokémon egg and Pokémon that can be sold in a publicly run Breeder House will have good talent and no diseases, but the price... will naturally be higher.
Although it is called a "house," it is actually very large, like a plaza, with complete classifications.
Following the other party inside, the three listened to the bespectacled youth's introduction, nodding repeatedly.
"Before coming, I believe Mr. Fang and the others have already learned about the types of Pokémon Eggs our Breeder House has, right? I wonder if there are any you fancy."
"We don't know, it's up to the child to choose. The school has taught them, but he said he wants to see them in person before deciding," Fang Yuan's mother said.
"That's good too, let the child decide for themselves," Baishi said.
