Chapter 105 - Chapter 105: What It Means to Be a Breeder

"Next, let's take a look at a video."

The computer screen cast the image onto the wall a battle between a Magmar and an Alakazam.

After showing the students the first video, Silas began to ask questions.

"Based on the details of the battle in this video, can any of you tell me what breeding issue the Magmar in the footage might have?"

As usual, Sundae raised her hand to answer.

"Magmar is a Fire-type Pokémon known for its ability to emit intense flames, with a body temperature reaching up to 1,200 degrees. It's more energetic in hotter environments.

From the battle footage, the heat waves surrounding this particular Magmar were below the average standard. When using Flame Vortex, the vortex shape even dispersed irregularly.

This phenomenon is commonly seen when the wrong breeding materials are used in this case, likely Scarlet Honey.

Scarlet Honey is a Fire-type material, and it can enhance a Fire-type Pokémon's energy output.

However, studies have shown that for certain Pokémon like Magmar, while Scarlet Honey can rapidly increase their energy levels, it also negatively affects their flame control."

"Very good answer. But next time, remember to include a more complete list of the Pokémon affected.

As breeders, your primary responsibility is, naturally, to raise and nurture Pokémon.

We must thoroughly understand the compatibility between each Pokémon and the breeding materials we use. Just because something shares the same type doesn't mean it's suitable for breeding.

In fact, some same-type materials can actually act like poison to specific Pokémon of that type.

Also, never trade long-term health for short-term power. Rapidly increasing a Pokémon's energy level will always come with hidden dangers.

Of course, when it comes to battling, proper command is equally important. Raw strength and level alone won't win fights.

Let's look at the second video now. This time, a Fearow uses a powerful Hurricane. Because the battlefield is rocky, it kicks up a lot of dust and debris."

Silas continued his lecture based on the next video.

In the world of Pokémon, being a Breeder isn't as simple as knowing a few Pokémon habits or their favorite food flavors. That's just basic knowledge.

The essence of a breeder lies in the word "breeding." Every breeder must understand the developmental paths, care methods, and health conditions of various Pokémon and be able to propose appropriate solutions.

A skilled breeder can judge a Pokémon's strength and even point out its weaknesses just by examining its appearance and fur condition.

Long ago, breeders were actually a type of Trainer those who specialized in raising and managing the health of their Pokémon.

But in recent years, under the more detailed classifications created by the Pokémon League, breeders have started to drift away conceptually from traditional Trainers.

Now, breeders primarily focus on health and energy growth, while Trainers handle combat training and battle tactics.

In other words, breeders have gradually taken on a support role. Some specialize in caring for Pokémon eggs, handling hatching, grooming, or performing beauty treatments.

Of course, in the traditional sense, the concepts of Breeder and Trainer are complementary. The two roles are still very much connected it's just that individuals may lean more heavily toward one path.

It doesn't mean that if you're focused on breeding, you'll never participate in battles; nor does being a Trainer mean you can ignore breeding knowledge.

Those who specialize in breeding might not be the best at issuing battle commands, just as Trainers may not have the expertise to handle advanced breeding.

Currently, most Trainers still follow a combined approach handling both breeding and training. The strongest Trainers are often excellent breeders as well.

That said, many of them may only be exceptionally skilled in breeding a few species of their own Pokémon and may not be adept at handling others.

Only a small number of people discover a deeper passion for breeding or possess greater talent in it and so, they choose to become full-time breeders.

These individuals often serve as the behind-the-scenes support for powerful Trainers, helping them become even stronger.

In return, Trainers compensate them with payment or other forms of exchange a mutually beneficial relationship.

However, becoming a Breeder recognized by the League in the true, official sense is no simple feat.

Breeders are classified into eleven levels. The first ten are numbered from One-Star Breeder, the lowest, to Ten-Star Breeder, the highest. Above even that is the title of Breeding Master, a title of true prestige and respect.

Within these ten ranks, the League has specific requirements for each level. One must pass an exam corresponding to their desired rank in order to officially attain it and receive the League-certified title of Breeder.

These exams are no walk in the park—especially from the mid-to-high levels onward. In fact, the majority of people might spend their entire lives hovering around the Four-Star Breeder level.

Anyone under Four-Star status is usually referred to as an apprentice. Only upon reaching Four-Star rank is someone recognized as a true Breeder.

That's because a Four-Star Breeder is officially allowed to produce certain types of Pokéblocks for sale. Those who become proficient at it can even open a shop and make a decent income perhaps even live a comfortable life.

Of course, one has to consider things like ingredient costs, production success rate, and the quality of the Pokéblocks themselves.

Yes, crafting and selling Pokéblocks requires League authorization. Silas viewed this as the equivalent of a business license from his previous world. Without this license, selling Pokéblocks is illegal.

Even Pokéblock Mixers, used for combining Berries into Pokéblocks, can't be purchased unless you have a certified Breeder license of the appropriate level. They're considered strategic equipment why the League enforces this so strictly, Silas couldn't be sure.

So even though, in theory, Silas could make Pokéblocks himself using Berries, and based on his calculations the success rate wouldn't be low, he was stuck because of the regulations.

After all, his age and current status didn't allow him to qualify legally.

Fortunately, the Breeder Exam for this year was just around the corner. One of the conditions he had agreed on with Pewter Gym was that they would recommend him for a direct attempt at the Level Six Breeder exam skipping the levels in between.

Pewter Gym had the connections to make that happen, of course. Or more accurately, it was one of the privileges granted to them by the League.

Otherwise, at age sixteen, Silas would've been forced to start from the Level One exam and slowly climb up level by level year after year. That kind of inefficiency was enough to make anyone despair.

Back in the classroom, while teaching the students in front of him, Silas couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the vast difference between commoners and children from noble families.

For an average civilian, age twelve typically marked the end of basic education. But the sixteen students in front of him based on Silas's assessment were all capable of passing the Level One Breeder exam.

Some of the more outstanding ones, like Sundae, could even give the Level Two exam a shot.

That's why it was so hard for ordinary people to rise through the ranks purely by hard work. Once again, Silas was profoundly grateful for the miracle that brought Chip Zero with him when he crossed into this world.

The bell signaling the end of class rang. Silas dismissed the students and quickly left the classroom he still had to hurry over for his afternoon money-making session.
