Torii left in a hurry. He was also being nosy, mainly because the potions that the girl had made mostly used knowledge at the level of a beginner Breeder, which made Torii slightly concerned.
If he was not mistaken, these potions were probably made by the other party herself. The other party was not old, but she also had the level of a beginner Breeder, which made Torii somewhat surprised. He no longer had much sense of superiority in his heart.
Just happening to meet a girl at a small stall who had abilities no less than his own, the Hoenn continent was so vast, there must be many people with outstanding talents, the little he knew might really not be enough.
There were some potions at the girl's stall whose principles he could not figure out.
Torii happened to see the fw in that bottle of powder, because he happened to know the difference between the correct and incorrect combinations of this wrong example. It was not that the girl was inferior to him, but that there was a specialization in skills. He had just happened to learn about this piece of knowledge. Even top Breeders would not dare to say that they were omniscient and omnipotent.
"I'd better wait honestly."
Looking at the darkening sky, Torii prepared to quietly wait for tomorrow to come, and prove his efforts over the past four years. It also needed to be verified by passing the beginner Breeder exam.
Only after becoming a beginner Breeder would he have the confidence to be alone outside.
Finding a retively open pce to set up the tent, Torii released Butterfree. Pokémon's alertness was stronger than humans, and having the two of them outside together was also a form of care to prevent accidents.
Another night, peaceful and serene.
Torii's st night in Steport City passed quietly without any waves.
The next day...
The sky was just beginning to brighten, gulls flew over the sea, gliding through the air on the sea breeze.
Early in the morning, Butterfree also woke up, fpping its wings to wake up Torii.
Torii gnced at the time, six o'clock, there was still an hour before the Breaking Wave set sail, so there was no rush.
Butterfree's schedule was very punctual, with it waking up Torii, there was no need to worry about missing the time.
After tidying up his belongings, Torii put away the tent, found a water source to wash his face, and started heading to the port.
Although it was still early, there were many people taking the boat. When Torii arrived, there were already many people outside the port.
"There are so many people."
Torii compined.
In the noisy port, the flow of people was constant. Even though the staff was constantly maintaining order, it was difficult for order to improve.
Not knowing how much time was wasted, Torii finally boarded the Breaking Wave.
"Not easy, there are too many people." The other passengers who squeezed on together also sighed.
Next, it was time to find his room. In fact, the room was not very useful. It took less than a day to travel from Steport City to Dewford Town on the Breaking Wave. The so-called room was also very crude, it was just a pce to rest.
After all, the Breaking Wave was not positioned as a luxury passenger ship.
Torii was by himself, so he stayed quietly in the room for peace of mind.
However, after a while, Torii's door was knocked on.
"Hello - it's lunchtime, would you like to go to the restaurant?!"
The person who came was a member of the Breaking Wave's staff, responsible for reminding passengers to eat. As for whether Torii would go to eat?
Feeling his dry pockets, Torii smiled wryly, he should continue to eat snacks, the food on the Breaking Wave was not something he could afford.
Now it was noon. Since he had just eaten something, Torii had nothing to do, so he y on the small bed and took a nap. After sleeping for about an hour, Torii felt a little dizzy, and regretted sleeping on the boat.
In order to clear his head, Torii went out of the room and came to the railing of the ship to feel the sea breeze. Sure enough, after staying for a few minutes, the situation improved a lot.
"Butterfree, you can feel it too."
Butterfree, like Torii, was riding a boat for the first time, and seemed a little novel, flying around.
"Don't get lost." Torii reminded.
Then, Torii was alone, lying outside the railing of the deck, facing the sea breeze, looking at the blue sea in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Is this your Pokémon?" An old and powerful voice sounded in his ear, Torii's thoughts were disturbed by this voice, and he turned his head.
What caught his eye was an old man with gray hair, whose age was probably comparable to Grandma Oran. At the moment, he was looking at Butterfree flying over Torii's head with great interest.
"That's right, what's the matter?" Torii responded.
Looking at Torii's indifferent attitude, the old man smiled, and said somewhat indifferently: "It's well trained, are you a Trainer?"
Torii's appearance was only about ten years old.
"No." Torii shook his head, recalled Butterfree, with a spin, Butterfree nded elegantly on Torii's shoulder.
"Oh, is it a Coordinator then?" Looking at Butterfree nding elegantly, the old man was even more curious.
"Also not." Answering the old man's question again, Torii continued in order to avoid him asking endlessly: "I am preparing to go to Dewford Town to take the Breeder exam."
"You said you are a Breeder?!" The old man ughed, feeling that Torii's answer was very interesting and unexpected.
"Not yet."
After saying that, Torii turned to leave, he subconsciously took the old man's ughter as ridicule.
A ten-year-old Breeder was indeed a joke in the eyes of many people.
Breeders were different from Trainers and Coordinators. The tter had no threshold requirements, but the former, because of the professional rigor, needed to be certified by the Breeder headquarters to call themselves Breeders.
Breeders contained a lot of complex knowledge, and needed a long time to study in order to have the corresponding level.
At Torii's age of ten, he was going to the Breeder headquarters for the exam, which was indeed a bit incredible in the eyes of most people.
After all, this age was when children just obtained the qualifications to become Trainers, and they were still very young.
Most people even did not know the names and attributes of Pokémon, but this was all because of the nature of children.
Not to mention the logically complex pharmacology, and the deeper habits and characteristics of Pokémon.
Therefore, although the old man's ughter seemed rude in Torii's eyes, Torii could understand it. After all, he also knew the difficulty of becoming a Breeder. With these four years of learning, he was no longer an ignorant newcomer.
"You misunderstood, my name is Katsumune, I didn't mean to ugh at you." Seeing Torii walking away, the old man quickly stopped him.
Being retained, Torii was not unhappy, but continued to ask: "I understand, old man, is there anything else?"
