"You can pick a Pokemon Egg from inside, or exchange it for 30 million in breeding funds. It's your choice."
After finishing their meal, Brock brought Tetsuya to the Incubation Room to choose a Pokemon Egg.
Generally speaking, outstanding commoner Trainers, besides accepting assistance from the Joy Family, would at most enter into Investment agreements with two to three other Forces.
This is because there are also allies and conflicting interests between different Forces. If a Trainer accepts Investment from too many Forces, they will either remain neutral or end up fighting themselves when conflicts arise.
This is certainly not what these Forces want to see. You can't just take resources for free, after all. This rule was formed through mutual understanding.
Tetsuya's willingness to accept the Pewter Gym's Investment was a decision made after careful investigation and analysis.
As one of the oldest and most powerful of the eight Gyms in the Kanto region, the Pewter Gym was an excellent choice.
After all, the Viridian Gym belongs to Giovanni, the Cerulean Gym is on a decline and Investments there would be more cautious, and the Vermilion Gym has a poor reputation and is relatively weaker.
The Celadon Gym Leader only sponsors female Trainers, the Fuchsia Gym requires knowledge of Ninjutsu, the Saffron Gym requires Psychics or Psychic Type Pokemon, and the Cinnabar Gym Leader Blaine has a strange temper.
Considering all of this, among the eight Gyms, the Pewter Gym is slightly more normal.
Furthermore, Tetsuya has a Cheat/System. The assistance from the Joy Family and the Pewter Gym is enough for him to get through the early stages.
This is also why he chose to come to Pewter City first. Otherwise, taking a boat directly to Cerulean City or Vermilion City would also have been a good option.
Moreover, in addition to providing normal assistance, the Pewter Gym also offered Tetsuya a high Potential Pokemon Egg or 30 million in funds, as well as the Materials and qualifications to take the Breeder exam.
The restrictions are not significant. Tetsuya just needs to provide assistance to the Pewter Gym in terms of breeding in the future, and complete certain tasks annually, with compensation paid as usual.
Tetsuya looked at each Pokemon Egg in the Incubation Room and found it a bit strange.
The Potential of these eggs was quite uniform, all Elite Level, but they were all common Ground Rock Type Pokemon, such as Geodude, Diglett, Sandshrew, and Cubone.
Tetsuya didn't see any rarer Pokemon at all, which didn't seem equivalent to the 30 million in breeding funds.
"According to our tests, the Pokemon Eggs here all have Elite Level Potential. If you like any, you can choose it.
However, these are not the only ones available for you to choose from. We're not that stingy."
Seeing Tetsuya's puzzled look, Brock explained, then directly used his ID Card to swipe open a small door in the corner, gesturing for Tetsuya to come in.
"The Pokemon Eggs you just saw are more basic, prepared for ordinary Trainers. But for you, it's different. You can take your time choosing here."
Tetsuya observed the Pokemon Eggs in this room, and their quality was indeed far superior to those outside.
"Nosepass, Roggenrola, Rockruff, Rhyhorn, Gligar, Drilbur, Swinub, Wooper"
Good heavens, although there were generally only one or two Pokemon Eggs of each species, the variety was extensive, and they were mixed with Elite, Quasi-Elite Four, and Elite Four Potential.
"But this isn't the last room, is it? Is there more inside?" Tetsuya asked, pointing to a small door identical to the previous one.
"Yes, but that part is not for you to choose from temporarily. After you finish choosing here, I can take you in to see.
If you become a Breeding Master or Elite Four or something in the future, I can make the decision to let you choose an egg from in there."
Brock was very straightforward.
"Haha, that day will come." Tetsuya replied confidently to Brock while choosing an egg, "I'll take this one."
"Hmm, this little guy has good development Potential, and its Potential is probably Elite Four.
If its mother wasn't only a Quasi-Elite Four level Pokemon, its Potential might have been even higher."
Brock made a note of Tetsuya's choice and told him to put the egg into the Incubation Instrument to take with him later.
"Come with me to take a look inside, maybe you'll find your future Pokemon there." Brock said jokingly, opening the third door.
Walking inside, there were five lonely Pokemon Eggs, each carefully protected, with various Instruments monitoring their vital signs.
"The Pokemon Eggs stored here are absolutely top quality. Even I can't choose them to breed right now.
This is a Larvitar, a descendant of my father's Tyranitar, estimated to have Quasi-Champion Potential.
This is a Trapinch, that one is an Aron, and over there are descendants of my grandfather's Champion Swampert and a Jangmo-o.
As for Potential, there might not be any Champion, but they are likely all Quasi-Champion, with a very small chance of being Elite Four."
Brock introduced them to Tetsuya with a hint of pride.
Tetsuya was indeed jealous. The final forms of the five Pokemon are Tyranitar, Flygon, Aggron, Swampert, and Kommo-o. Are these the Pokemon of the rich?
Moreover, after checking with Zero, the Larvitar has Champion Potential, and the other four are Quasi-Champion. Adding the large number of Elite, Quasi-Elite Four, and Elite Four Potential Pokemon outside, the value of this single Breeding Room is close to 4 billion.
It was simply breathtaking.
"Speaking of which, it feels like there are quite a few Pokemon with Elite Four or higher Potential." Tetsuya and Brock walked outside, raising his doubts.
Brock narrowed his eyes: "It only looks like a lot. As someone from Viridian City, you must have been to the Black Market, right?"
Without waiting for Tetsuya's reply, Brock continued to explain.
"Taking the Viridian Black Market as an example, it basically gathers all the wild Pokemon Egg output in the Kanto region, including some that our families and Gyms breed.
Under such a massive base, the number of Elite Potential Pokemon Eggs for each species annually will not exceed 50 at most, with some having only 1/20 or even single digits.
Among them, Quasi-Elite Four are very rare, and eggs with Elite Four Potential are extremely rare.
The Pokemon Egg reserves you just saw at our Pewter Gym are quite a few, but they are also accumulated over decades.
It's also mainly Elite, and in the second room, Quasi-Elite Four and Elite Four only account for less than 20%, with only about a dozen having Elite Four level Potential."
Moreover, just because a Pokemon has Elite Four potential doesn't guarantee it will reach Elite Four level. It merely means it will have a smoother journey before reaching Quasi-Elite Four.
The higher the potential, the faster it will pass through its weak stage.
However, there are thresholds for breaking through from Quasi-Elite Four to Elite Four and beyond. Elite Four potential only signifies that the Pokemon has the possibility to break through; it doesn't cut off the possibility of further progress like Quasi-Elite Four potential does.
If a Trainer's training is insufficient, it's not uncommon for a Pokemon with Elite Four potential to stop at Quasi-Elite Four and fail to break through to Elite Four.
Many Pokemon's potential is wasted this way."
This is also why Brock initially didn't care that Tetsuya had two high-potential Pokemon.
Seeking investment, collection, recommendations, and monthly passes!!!
Seeking everything!!
P.S.: The third Pokemon will be revealed tomorrow.
