Chapter 7: I was the first one to come here
When Sakaki said this, Moon Eevee stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning.

Sakaki talked slowly and shared with Su Sheng some tips on breeding elves.

Just like Su Sheng trained athletes in his previous life.

If you want to train a football player who can play in the World Cup, you have to start preparing him even from the time he has just learned to walk and cannot talk.

Now Ibrahimovic's age is like a student who will take the college entrance examination tomorrow, and you say you want to train her to play in the World Cup?

Is this realistic?

Okay, that's a bit of an extreme example.

But that's exactly what Sakaki meant.

"That Umbreon can only reach the level of the Four Heavenly Kings at best. Its upper limit is too low."

I wonder how many trainers would burst into tears after hearing what Sakaki said.

What does "at best I can only reach the level of the Four Heavenly Kings" mean?
You have to know that this is a height that 99.99% of trainers can never reach in their lifetime, okay?

But it's not surprising.

After all, Sakaki is now a champion-level trainer, and in the future he will be almost half a foot above the champion level, and be called the "master" or "master" level.

It is normal for him to look down on the Four Heavenly Kings.

And in Sakaki's eyes, Su Sheng should not be limited to being among the Four Heavenly Kings.

"What a cruel remark, uncle. You don't want me to abandon Umbreon, do you? I don't care about the strength of the Pokémon."

The Moon Eevee, who had been lowering his head lower and lower because of Sakaki's words, heard the disdain in Su Sheng's tone.

A gleam of light returned to his eyes.

"Ha~ Of course not. I'm just reminding you that there's no need to put too much energy on a Pokémon with a very low upper limit."

Sakaki smiled slightly and said:
"Just like our gym leaders train some Pokémon with average qualifications to deal with some fledgling challengers, when you get a better Pokémon, that Umbreon can be placed in the second-tier team."

It's no secret that gym leaders will adjust their lineups based on the strength of the challengers.

It's just that the animation doesn't make this clear.

This was later confirmed in the game and the special edition animation.

And what Sakaki said does make sense.

Just like a sports team.

The capable ones will start, and the incapable ones will be substitutes.

It's just so realistic.

Moon Eevee buried its head deeply again.

I only heard Sakaki say:
"It just so happens that I have some elves with good qualifications and they were born not long ago. You can try to train them, such as... Dratini or something like that..."

Mini Dragon! ?

Hearing these three words, Moon Eevee's face became even uglier.

Although she is just a Pokémon and has lived in the human world since she was young, she doesn't know much about other Pokémon.

But I also learned what kind of elf "Mini Dragon" is from the previous owner, other people's gossip, or TV shows.

A powerful dragon-type Pokémon that is a late bloomer but once cultivated to its final form it will overwhelm most Pokémons. It is known as a "quasi-god" and is a super Pokémon!

Moon Eevee bit its lower lip tightly.

An elf like that...is suitable for such a perfect master, right?

"How about it? Do you want to try? If it's you, I think one day you can train it into a Dragonite, and it will not be inferior to the people of the Dragon Control Clan in Yanmo City."

Sakaki's words were like daggers, piercing into the softest part of Moon Eevee's heart.

Umbreon imagined that there would be a Pokémon like this joining the team in the future.

From now on, the owner will put all the care he has for himself on it.

I hold her in my arms and fall asleep every night, showing her a caring smile and even kissing her face...

And I can only shrink into the corner and watch all this silently.

Then he said with self-pity, "It was obviously me who came here first..."

"Uncle Sakaki, you seem to look down on my Moon Eevee. How about we make a bet?"

Su Sheng finally responded, causing Moon Eevee to once again raise its little head that was about to drop to the ground.

"Next time we fight, I'll let her defeat your Pokémon, using this Eevee that you called 'has too low a ceiling'."

Sakaki looked unconvinced, then smiled, "It's good to have goals, but we must also consider the reality, young man. Every spirit has its limits..."

"So you want to surpass the elves?"

Su Sheng's rhetorical question left Sakaki speechless for a moment.

This reminds me of the idea of ​​"degeneration" that I heard from Su Sheng ten days ago.

And then I saw his eyes which didn't show any joking at all.

Sakaki couldn't help but think "Is this kid serious?" again.

At this moment, the expression of Moon Eevee was like Chopper who was saved by Hiruluk, with tears streaming down his face.

I saw Su Sheng suddenly stand up on the beach.

Moon Eevee hurried back into the house and lay down again.

"Don't you want the mini dragon anymore?"

Sakaki asked with a sidelong glance.

"Compared to this, I hope that you can sponsor me some money, Uncle Sakaki. I want to study Pokémon carefully."

Su Sheng spread his hands, "Just treat it as an investment, I will definitely repay you in the future."

"Oh~"

Sakaki couldn't help but show his anticipation, "I hope you won't let me down."

Su Sheng smiled back, "Don't worry, this will be the most satisfying investment in your life."

I learned so many things from Vegapunk in my previous life.

Can't you come up with something?

I'm not that useless protagonist who doesn't grow at all even after the author has written millions of words.

……

Early the next morning.

Su Sheng, who was sleeping on the sofa, just opened his eyes and found the Moon Eevee lying beside his pillow.

Coincidentally, Moon Eevee also opened its blood-red eyes at this time.

"Heh~ You got into the wrong bed when you got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night?"

Su Sheng rubbed the other party's black hair, which was short but felt surprisingly good.

Well, although it's not as fluffy as Flareon, it's also very smooth.

"I'm going to go out and buy some things. If everything goes well, I'll soon find a way to help you degenerate back to an Ibrahimovic. Just wait at home."

Su Sheng stood up and put the Moon Eevee back on the bed. He hooked his chin again, washed up briefly, and walked out quickly.

The Moon Eevee, who was staring at Su Sheng's back the whole time, looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

It actually wanted to tell Su Sheng that it no longer cared about this appearance.

Su Sheng has said more than once that she looks beautiful the way she is now, and Moon Eevee has also completely accepted herself now and is proud of her current state.

But... just when Moon Eevee wanted to express his feelings to Su Sheng.

She suddenly remembered what Sakaki said last night -

That Ibrahimovic's ceiling is too low.

What if the master completes the research and returns to the Ibrahimovic period?

Will it give me a second chance to grow and break through the bottleneck caused by my age?

No, you can't rush it.

What we need to do now is to reach the limit of this identity first.

Set a small goal and reach the king level first.
