Chapter 127: Two Years Pass
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, two years had passed, and Bai Feng grew from 12 to 14 years old.
In these two years, he grew very quickly. He was now over 1.75 meters tall, and the worries he once had about not growing tall enough could finally be disregarded.
Perhaps his Golden Finger also had a tiny bit of effect on promoting his Body Development.
Boys generally continue to grow slowly after 20, so if there were no accidents, he would at least reach over 1.8 meters.
Moreover, at 14, he was in the period of rapid adolescent Development. The next few years would be when he truly exerted himself, and he might even shoot up to 1.9 meters.
However, being too big wasn't good either. Bai Feng would be quite satisfied with over 1.85 meters. Not too tall, not too tall!
During these two years, Bai Feng lived a very peaceful life. Most of the Time, he was Busy going back and forth between the Orchard and the School, living a very fulfilling life.
Besides this, he also maintained close contact with Julia and Ying Zhou. They had Video calls almost every few days.
Furthermore, through Bai Feng's connection, Julia and Ying Zhou also got to know each other. Now, the three of them, along with some like-minded Friends, have created a communication group where they can share their recent gains with each other at any Time.
From these two Top Students, Bai Feng learned a lot of Knowledge that couldn't be learned elsewhere.
In addition, Bai Feng himself didn't slack off in these two years. He had been diligently studying, and now he had his own insights into Berry Cultivation.
To verify his insights, Bai Feng exchanged for a large number of Fruit Tree Saplings or Seeds of Different types and Regions from his Friends in various places over the past two years, and Cultivated them in various Different ways.
Bai Feng even borrowed the high Technology of Fladary Laboratory to perform Gene-Level Intervention on the Fruit Trees, Cultivating many strange Fruit Trees.
Of course, most of these Experiments failed.
Last year, Fu La Da Li also Invested in an Airline Company in Mossdeep City, Hoenn Region. Bai Feng used this connection to send some Seeds on that Airline Company's Spacecraft, taking the Seeds to Outer Space.
Bai Feng even specifically went to watch that Flying Vehicle launch with Fu La Da Li.
In these two years, Bai Feng rarely left the Kalos Region. Besides going to other Regions with Teacher Da Cun to attend a few Academic Conferences, that was the only Time.
The Seeds were later brought back from Outer Space and returned to Bai Feng. They sprouted as Bai Feng wished, but the Fruit Trees that grew couldn't Flower or Fruit, which greatly disappointed Bai Feng.
Speaking of Fu La Da Li, Bai Feng had maintained close contact with him over the past two years. He would occasionally come to Bai Feng's Home alone for a vacation, sometimes staying for a day or two, and sometimes just for a short while.
Since that Time he came to Fang Xing Mountain and was comforted by Bai Feng, he seemed to have suddenly figured things out. Although he was still vigorously supporting Good Deeds, he had given up on gaining any psychological sense of accomplishment from this Aspect.
If this World can be good, then good. If not, let it be; it has nothing to do with him anyway.
In fact, the main Reason was that Fu La Da Li saw a completely Different attitude towards life in Bai Feng. Although Bai Feng was also Busy every day, he was always full of drive and never thought about those grand, empty Matters.
Instead of letting your mind wander, it's better to live each day steadily! This was what Bai Feng said to Fu La Da Li, and Fu La Da Li kept it firmly in his Heart.
Now he put most of his Energy into expanding his Career territory.
Fladary Holographic Image Company was now almost on par with major companies like Silph Co. in the Kanto Region, Devon Corporation in Hoenn, Aether Foundation in the Alola Region, and Macro Cosmos in the Galar Region.
Fladary Laboratory was already skilled at researching and developing various scientific Technology. Now that Fu La Da Li was working so hard, he had almost single-handedly advanced the Technology Level of the entire Kalos Region by several decades, especially various Communication Technology.
In recent years, Fu La Da Li had been a prominent figure in the Kalos Region, almost becoming a household name.
It must be said, having reached his current Stage, he could almost be said to lack nothing in his entire life.
Having finished talking about Fu La Da Li, we must mention Bai Feng's other Friend, Kalos.
Kalos, who was already sixteen this year, had officially become a Star Trainer active in various Pokémon Competitions.
Her Talent itself was terrifying, and later she became a disciple of Grandma Maple, so her Strength began to advance rapidly. Under Grandma Maple's arrangement, she had officially started her League Champion Path.
Besides shining brightly in her Trainer Career, Kalos also didn't slack off in her Acting Career. Now she had become a well-known Female Star in the Kalos Region.
Of course, the operations of Fladari Company were indispensable in this. Many Movie protagonists that Fladari Company Invested in were Kalos, and many Product Spokespersons under its banner were also Kalos.
Kalos was beautiful, had good acting skills, and had a national base because she was a child star. Now with Capital supporting her from behind, if she didn't become popular, who would?
Getting back to Bai Feng himself, although most of his Fruit Tree Cultivation Experiments failed, a small Part of them succeeded.
Although the Energy Rating of these newly Cultivated Fruit Trees was mostly not high, the Berries they produced had unique Tastes. Coupled with the bonus from Bai Feng's Golden Finger, they currently had a good Market.
If it weren't for the Berries Bai Feng planted before having a slight edge in Energy Rating, perhaps the sales wouldn't be as good as the newly Cultivated Berries!
Bai Feng Cultivated quite a few new Fruit Trees in the past two years. For this, he bought another Mountain next to Fang Xing Mountain and Fang Cun Mountain and named it Maple Leaf Mountain.
Bai Feng really couldn't think of any good Names, so he simply named it after himself and his Mom. Bai Ye was happy about this for several days.
(ˇˇ) Of course, this didn't prevent it from often staying out all night.
In the past two years, Bai Feng had indeed made a lot of Money by selling Berries. So he re-equipped the Infrastructure of all three Mountains, including Electricity, Water Conservancy, Transportation, etc. Life on the Mountain Top was now much more convenient than before.
Bai Feng even built Houses on Fang Cun Mountain and Maple Leaf Mountain, some for Humans to live in, and some for Pokémon to live in.
This way, sometimes when they worked on the Mountain Top too late or were too tired and didn't want to return to Fang Xing Mountain, they could stay there directly.
The Reason Bai Feng was able to Cultivate so many new Fruit Trees again was also thanks to the Advancement of his Golden Finger and Psychic Power in the past two years.
In two years, Bai Feng's Golden Finger Advanced again because it was used excessively often.
At the Same Time, his Psychic Power also made significant progress with Bai Ye's help. When his Mental Power was released externally, its Color changed from the previous Blue Light to Purple Light.
Bai Feng could even release Skills like some Psychic Power Pokémon. For this, he Tried learning the Godly Skill Teleport, and unexpectedly, he actually succeeded.
However, given Bai Feng's current Situation, using Teleport once would drain all of his Mental Power.
Speaking of Bai Ye, Bai Feng didn't know what kind of wondrous encounters it had in the past two years. Its Strength had improved incredibly fast. Now Bai Feng was a bit unsure just how strong it was.
The main Reason was that Bai Feng hadn't encountered any situations in the past two years that required Bai Ye to step in and battle. After all, he aspired to be a Berry Tycoon, not a Pokémon Master!
Bai Feng knew that the Secret to its rapid Strength improvement was in the Trevenant Forest. He had suggested visiting the Trevenant Forest several times, but Bai Ye refused each Time.
The Reason given was inconvenience, and that the Trevenant didn't want to interact with Humans.
Helpless, Bai Feng had no choice but to give up.
Regardless, he respected Bai Ye's Secret.
Speaking of which, Pidove also seemed to know some of Bai Ye's Secrets, because it often went to the Trevenant Forest with Bai Ye.
But when Bai Feng secretly tried to inquire about News from Pidove, it kept its mouth shut tight.
As expected, a Trainer is still not as important as a Goddess!
After knowing it really couldn't be said, Bai Feng never inquired about that Secret again.
o(o`зo) Let her be.
This morning, Bai Feng started performing Energy Combing on the Fruit Trees early on. He stood in the center of the Fruit Forest, and his whole Body suddenly emitted Blue Light. Immediately after, Purple Light emerged from his Eyes.
The Purple Light was a manifestation of Bai Feng's Psychic Power being released externally. Guided by his Mental Power, the Blue Light covering Bai Feng's entire Body cascaded down like silk, spreading out from him as the center and covering the entire Fruit Forest in the blink of an eye.
This Blue Light was a manifestation of Bai Feng's Golden Finger Energy being released externally.
Bai Feng's current Method of utilizing Golden Finger Energy was actually borrowed from Chikorita's Grassy Terrain.
As the Golden Finger Energy spread throughout the entire Orchard like Grassy Terrain, Bai Feng's Mental Power transformed into countless threads, guiding the Golden Finger Energy into the interior of the Fruit Trees to quickly comb, purify, and compress their Energy.
In just one go, Bai Feng could help hundreds of Fruit Trees complete their daily Energy Combing.
If it weren't for his Golden Finger Advancing again and his Psychic Power Cultivation being successful, Bai Feng would absolutely not be able to do this now, nor would he have the Energy to Cultivate more Fruit Trees.
As Noon approached, Bai Feng finished his work and walked out of the Fruit Forest. He went Home to change his Clothes and planned to go back to Blue Bird Orphanage.
Today, Ikki was graduating from Primary School. Bai Feng had promised the children he would go back and celebrate with them by eating together.
In the blink of an eye, it had been almost six years since Bai Feng came to Blue Bird Orphanage. Time really flew by!
"Coo coo coo~~~"
As soon as Bai Feng finished changing his Clothes and came out of the Room Interior, Pidove fluttered its Wings and flew over, landing lightly on Bai Feng's shoulder and rubbing its Head against Bai Feng's cheek.
"You want to come with me too?" Bai Feng asked with a smile, stroking Pidove's Head. His face felt a little ticklish from being rubbed by Pidove's soft Feathers.
Pidove had actually reached the point where it could Evolve long ago, but its Hidden Energy Circuit hadn't been fully Lighting Hidden Energy Circuits yet, so Bai Feng had it wear an Everstone.
It wasn't just it; Primarina, Chikorita, and Larvitar were all like this. The Development of the Hidden Energy Circuit was a long and tedious process and couldn't be achieved overnight.
However, Larvitar and Chikorita's Hidden Energy Circuits were already Lit up to the final Stage. Especially Chikorita, whose Energy Circuit was relatively simple, was not far from its Evolution Time.
"Coo coo coo~~~" Go together, go together.
Pidove chirped happily.
Just then, Lopunny walked out carrying a Bag.
That's right, Buneary had Evolved into its final Form, Lopunny, and it only Evolved after all its Hidden Energy Circuits were Lighting Hidden Energy Circuits.
Buneary belonged to the type of Pokémon with extraordinary Talent. Lighting up its Hidden Energy Circuits was very easy. In fact, calling them Hidden Energy Circuits wasn't accurate; they could only be considered semi-Hidden Energy Circuits.
For this Reason, Buneary became the only Employee, besides his Main Pokémon, whose Hidden Energy Circuits were Lit up by Bai Feng using his Golden Finger.
Because Lighting Hidden Energy Circuits was too Time and Energy consuming, Bai Feng couldn't do it for all the Pokémon on the Mountain Top.
After Evolving from Buneary, Lopunny, relying on its immense Strength Talent, could almost kick the massive Talonflame Captain into serious injury with one kick.
It thus instantly became the strongest Pokémon on the entire Fang Xing Mountain, besides Bai Ye and Heliolisk, overpowering Primarina. This almost made Primarina's Mental state collapse.
It was clearly Bai Feng's Main Pokémon that he focused on Cultivating, and even Bai Feng's Starter Pokémon. How did they all get ahead of it one by one? First Heliolisk, then Buneary.
Primarina was clearly working hard all the Time too!
Of course, in the past two years, Primarina had also put in a lot of Energy to manage its Band.
Although the Band still seemed a bit half-dead now, it actually had its own Fan base and wasn't completely unknown.
At least in the past two years on the Live Streaming Platform, Primarina and the others had earned some Money and even promoted Bai Feng's Orchard (although the Function was limited).
Now, most of Primarina and the others' Fans had bought Berries from Bai Feng's Home and had become double Fans of the Primarina Band and the Orchard.
Recently, Primarina had been Training even harder. It was planning to snatch back the title of the third strongest on Fang Xing Mountain from Lopunny and then aim for Heliolisk's position as the second strongest.
This couple was a stumbling block on its path forward.
After Buneary Evolved into Lopunny, it officially got together with Heliolisk. Although Reproductive Isolation existed between them, who cared about Stuff like that!
Love is the greatest!!!
"Miru~ Miru~ Miru~" Bai Feng, take this with you for the children at the Orphanage to eat.
Saying this, Lopunny stuffed a Bag into Bai Feng's hand. Bai Feng opened it and saw that it contained boxes of Cream Pastry.
This was a Gift that Fu La Da Li brought when he visited before. It was said to be a Dessert made by Alcremie, and it was indeed delicious to eat.
It was just that Fu La Da Li gave too much. Eating too much of this Stuff was a bit cloying, so there was still a lot left in the Refrigerator.
Originally, Lopunny was thinking of having the Fletchinder deliver some to the Orphanage, but since Bai Feng was going there today anyway, she might as well let him take it.
Bai Feng took the Bag and asked, "Primarina and the others haven't come back?"
Lopunny shook her Head.
Primarina was practicing Water Control Ability in the Reservoir at the Mountain Foot with her subordinate Clawitzer. (All seven Clawitzer had already Evolved into Clawitzer.)
Heliolisk was nestled among the Sunflora, basking in the Sun. This was its daily required course and also the Secret to its rapid increase in Strength.
Chikorita, Larvitar, and Carbink had also wandered off somewhere.
Bai Ye naturally went to the Trevenant Forest early in the morning.
Hatterene took the Meowstic siblings to the Employee Dormitory to clean up (the Meowstic siblings had also Evolved). Now, only Bai Feng, Pidove, and Lopunny were left at Home.
