Tetsuya stared blankly ahead, unable to believe the result he had calculated.
He recalculated with a calculator, just to be sure. After all, even a genius brain can make mistakes.
But the numbers on the calculator accurately told Tetsuya that he hadn't miscalculated.
If he didn't take on missions, he might face bankruptcy after training Torchic to Elite Level.
Because he wasn't sure how many resources a Champion-资质 Pokemon would need to cultivate, Tetsuya's revised plan was based on his and Zero's estimations.
Calculating based on a progress of reaching Elite within seven to eight months, Tetsuya first created a simple data table using the resource data required for Elite-资质 Fire-type Pokemon, listing the necessary cultivation materials and calculating their prices.
He also collected data on some Quasi-Elite Four and Elite Four-资质 Pokemon and listed them in the same way.
After estimating the approximate range, Tetsuya, who considered himself to be greatly overestimating, added a coefficient of two in front.
One should know that even Pidgeot has only cost around 2.3 million so far.
Although Tetsuya also knew that if he invested heavily from the beginning, the speed of reaching the same strength would also be greatly shortened.
But based on the data, spending another 1 million or 2 million would be enough to cultivate it to Elite Level in about eight months.
So Tetsuya thought that doubling Torchic's cultivation cost should be sufficient, around 8 million should be about right.
Who would have thought that after Torchic was actually born, he had greatly underestimated the cultivation cost required for its资质.
Normally, the mixed ratio of Spicy Cherry Berries and Choco Berries for a Young Fire-type Pokemon should be ten to one.
Considering Torchic's high 资质, Tetsuya gritted his teeth and directly doubled the content of Choco Berries. This was the amount used when cultivating Normal Elite Level Pokemon.
However, Zero detected that even a five-to-one ratio wasn't enough for the newborn Torchic and it needed to be three-to-one.
If this continued, Torchic might need a one-to-one ratio of Choco Berries to improve the quality and quantity of energy in its body before reaching the Elite stage.
Not to mention that some other high-level materials would also need to be increased.
Tetsuya's teeth ached just thinking about it.
He had originally thought he could save a little less than three million in savings for emergencies, but it seemed that wouldn't be possible.
As for going out to do missions before Torchic reached Elite?
Tetsuya felt it was better to be cautious. If anything went wrong, he would have nowhere to cry.
Tetsuya looked at the sleeping Torchic and smiled helplessly.
His own Pokemon, he had to raise it well even if he cried and shouted. Moreover, investment would definitely bring returns.
"Chirp!"
At this moment, Torchic, who had only slept for a while, woke up.
It waddled towards its Trainer.
Torchic kept chirping at its owner: "Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp!"
Oh, right, people in this world have a very peculiar ability to roughly understand what Pokemon are saying. Although Tetsuya was a transmigrator, he still had this ability.
Tetsuya held up Torchic: "You're hungry, huh? I've already prepared it for you."
Tetsuya took Torchic to the dining table and took out the exclusive food bowl he had prepared earlier. At the bottom was a huge Blaziken logo.
He poured in 200ml of Mareep Milk, then poured in a nutritional supplement. Beside it, he placed a complex vitamin tablet and a few spicy Energy Cubes.
This was the lunch menu for Young Torchic. Dinner was the same, except for breakfast which lacked the complex vitamin tablet and Energy Cubes.
Torchic sniffed here and licked there. After trying the taste, it happily began to eat.
Tetsuya watched Torchic eat quickly. This is all money, little guy.
In less than ten minutes, Torchic finished its meal.
Tetsuya looked at the unchanged little thing and wondered where the food it had just eaten went. One should know that Torchic wasn't very big at this time, and the food it had just eaten was almost the size of its entire body.
"Chirp! Chirp chirp!"
Torchic, full and satisfied, jumped off the dining table and waddled skillfully towards its bed, preparing to rest.
"Wait, wait." Tetsuya quickly called out to Torchic.
This little guy was really adorable.
Tetsuya smiled helplessly, holding an empty Luxury Ball, and walked towards Torchic.
Squatting down, Tetsuya looked at Torchic and said seriously, "Little guy, do you want to become my Pokemon? If you do, press this button in the middle."
Saying this, he handed the Luxury Ball to Torchic.
Torchic tilted its head and pressed the button without hesitation.
A red light flashed, and Torchic was taken into the Luxury Ball without any struggle.
In less than half a minute, another red light flashed.
"Chirp chirp! Chirp! Chirp chirp!"
Torchic ran out excitedly, chirping.
"Oh, is that so? You're very satisfied with the environment inside?"
Tetsuya asked with a smile.
"Chirp!" Torchic nodded happily, then trotted towards the bed with its short legs.
"Chamo!" Torchic pointed at the bed and called out to Tetsuya.
"Okay, I'll put it away for you." Tetsuya understood what Torchic meant, picked up his wristband, and began operating it.
In no time, Torchic's bed was put away.
This was also Silph Co.'s black technology; Tetsuya didn't know the principle behind it.
Normally, these things couldn't be stored inside a Poke Ball, but a series of products from Silph Co. linked together could store them.
This could be considered a major way for capitalists to make money.
After seeing Tetsuya put the bed away, Torchic excitedly ran back to Tetsuya's side.
Tetsuya smiled and returned Torchic to its Poke Ball.
Young Pokemon, aside from eating, spend most of their time sleeping to digest energy.
Their exercise time only accounts for a small portion, basically just exercising before and after meals is enough.
After putting Torchic's Poke Ball away, Tetsuya walked to the backyard and called out to Pidgeot.
Although Torchic didn't need training yet, Pidgeot's training couldn't stop.
Tetsuya and Pidgeot began their repetitive and monotonous training day after day.
...
Twenty days later.
The thin morning mist hung in the air. Tetsuya stood in the carefully arranged backyard with Torchic.
The backyard had changed its appearance by now. Several Berry trees had been transplanted to the very edge by Tetsuya.
In the center were strange devices resembling tennis ball launchers, and next to them were small wooden stakes slightly taller than Torchic. Various props were scattered throughout.
After these twenty days of intense spending, Torchic had successfully passed its young stage and could begin training.
At this time, Torchic's height had reached 0.6m, and its weight was 4.5kg. Compared to the average height and weight of 0.4m and 2.5kg for its species, Tetsuya's Torchic could even be called a strong individual.
At the same time, it had naturally learned Ember and Quick Attack during its growth process.
The lively Torchic usually relied on these few moves and, like a Husky, went crazy destroying things.
Of course, this didn't mean Torchic's combat power was up to standard. After all, looking at its layers of fat and its innocent eyes, you could tell that any Pokemon that had been in a battle could defeat it.
"Alright, Torchic, we are officially starting training now!"
Tetsuya perked up and said seriously to Torchic.
Trying to avoid padding the word count with Zero's panel.
P.S.: Although it says 2000 words, it will actually be 2100/2200 words.
