Katsumune was a veteran Breeder who had become a Top Breeder in his early years and now held a high position in the Breeder Headquarters.

  At the same time, he was also Joy Jun's teacher. Joy Jun was born into the Joy family and had been extremely intelligent since she was a child, especially demonstrating a high talent for the Breeder profession.

  "I remember the best record in the Breeder Headquarters should be passing the Beginner Breeder exam at the age of ten, right?"

  Looking at Torii and Joy Jun next to him, Master Katsumune showed a slight smile, somewhat looking forward to their exam.

  As a Top Breeder, he naturally knew how difficult the Beginner Breeder exam was for a child who had just turned ten years old.

  But it was precisely because of this that the amazing talent of Torii and them could be shown.

  Take the Joy family as an example, every Nurse Joy who was able to be stationed at the Pokémon Center was also at least a Intermediate Breeder, and they often passed the Beginner Breeder exam at an average age of fourteen or fifteen, and this was still on the premise that the Joy family had formal teaching.

  So far, the youngest Beginner exam passer recorded by the Breeder Headquarters was ten years old.

  This was the highest record since the formalization of the Breeder profession, and now someone who was only ten years old came to apply for the Breeder exam, the value of their talent can be compared to a mythical Pokémon.

  Jun was still considered normal. She had a good background, had been exposed to a lot of knowledge since she was a child, and after showing her talent, the family also hired him to teach her. Being able to have the level of a Beginner Breeder at the age of ten could be considered reasonable.

  But Torii, this kid, was a bit terrifying.

  Katsumune was old and wise. From the growth of Butterfree, as well as Torii's clothes and habits, he could see that his background was not very good, but because of this, he had to admire Torii's talent.

  Having a famous teacher to teach, and self-study, were completely two different concepts.

  Talented people came out from all generations. Looking at Torii, Master Katsumune was somewhat appreciative, and even had a bit of a love for talent.

  If possible, he hoped to take Torii as a disciple to inherit his knowledge.

  The difference between Torii and Jun was that Torii was an ordinary person, while behind Jun, there was the entire family. Katsumune was only hired to teach her basic knowledge, the so-called teacher and student.

  As for inheriting his secret skills as a master, that naturally required a formal master-disciple retionship. Katsumune was a very traditional old man.

  Of course, Torii was just an unexpected discovery for him. How to choose would depend on Torii's character and origin, which still needed to be examined by him. So far, he was just optimistic about Torii.

  "Teacher?"

  Calling out to Master Katsumune who was absent-minded, Joy Jun found that the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward now.

  "Oh, oh, it's nothing. I'm old, my thinking can't keep up, haha." Stretching, Master Katsumune acted a bit zy, without the aura of a Top Master.

  "Torii, you came out alone, right? Do you want to travel with us? We're all going to take the exam anyway, so we can take care of each other," Master Katsumune said, looking around.

  Hearing this, Torii was stunned.

  There was no reason to refuse.

  For him, an invitation from a Top Master was an opportunity. For him, who came from a poor pce like Azure Abode, this trip together might be the most important turning point in his life.

  "It's my honor to travel with Master Katsumune," Torii said.

  Hearing Torii's answer, Katsumune smiled triumphantly, while Joy Jun also stared at Torii, wanting to see what kind of amazing abilities this young man of her age had.

  "Haha, that's good. I see that there's still some time before we arrive at Dewford Town. Why don't I test you?" Master Katsumune had a whim and suddenly wanted to test Torii's true level.

  And Torii and them naturally couldn't refuse.

  In this way, Katsumune led the two young fellows to the room. He shook his head, and questions kept popping out of his mouth. Fortunately, although the questions were a bit tricky, they were also within the scope of Beginner Breeders. Torii could handle eight or nine out of ten questions.

  Constantly asking questions, Katsumune also slightly understood the situation of the two.

  If there was any difference between Jun and Torii, perhaps it was in the amount of knowledge they had.

  Joy Jun had his teaching and a strong background, the knowledge and practical ability she came into contact with was far beyond what Torii could compare with.

  But Torii had a better understanding ability and reasoning ability than Jun. In other words, his brain was very smart, turned quickly, and had a strong logic.

  "You are both excellent, the Beginner Breeder exam won't be difficult for you," Katsumune smiled, very satisfied with Torii. His words were mainly directed at Torii, after all, Joy Jun was his student, and he already knew her level very well.

  "Amazing!" Joy Jun also expressed her recognition of Torii.

  This girl admired someone of her age for the first time. Torii's knowledge made her feel amazing.

  After a moment of silence, Katsumune looked at these two talented newcomers, and sighed somewhat. In recent years, all kinds of excellent Trainers had emerged one after another, but the Breeder field was facing a shortage of talent.

  Now that there were new generations of excellent blood like Torii and Jun, Katsumune, as a senior in the Breeder world, felt very gratified.

  After thinking for a while, Master Katsumune asked the two newcomers another question: "What do you think a Breeder is?"

  Master Katsumune's question, which was different from the previous questions, made both of them stunned.

  After a few seconds of thinking, Torii tried to answer: "A Trainer who helps Pokémon grow perfectly?"

  Joy Jun's answer was also simir to Torii's.

  Nodding, Katsumune said with a smile: "You're right, but would you like to hear my opinion?"

  "Of course," Torii and Joy Jun said in unison.

  After pondering for a while, Master Katsumune said: "The so-called Breeder, in my opinion, it contains a lot. What you said about helping Pokémon grow perfectly is one of the signs of a Breeder, but a Breeder is not that simple. In fact, each Breeder's field of expertise is roughly different. Like Jun's family, most of them have great achievements in medical and maintenance aspects. And the top of the line Breeder you described, can be proficient in the habits of Pokémon, and prepare the most perfect growth pn for them, the Pokémon they cultivate, in all aspects is not inferior to the ace Pokémon of Top Trainers, and some people can tell the potential and talent of a Pokémon at a gnce based on their development."

  "The most famous is Master Aizen, he once guided a young man, saying to the young man, choose it as your starter Pokémon, as long as you are not too hopeless, the future world will have a color of yours, ter, this young man with his Pokémon, eventually grew into an Elite Four."

  "And there's Master Aya, his most outstanding achievement was to let a Snorx who was abandoned because of his poor talent, learn nearly forty moves, spanning several attributes."

  "So, in my opinion, every Breeder is a group of incredible guys."

  Katsumune smiled.

  "What about Master Katsumune?!" After hearing these cases, Torii subconsciously asked.

  "Me? I've always been researching the genetics of Pokémon." Without concealing it, Katsumune said his specialization.
