Pokémon Court

Chapter 176: Not a Prophet

After watching for so long, if he couldnt understand it, he wouldnt deserve the title of Breeder.

In the end, although this Pokblock was good and convenient, it was prepared for Trainers or people who needed to buy Pokmon food, or for those who made low-quality food themselves.

For Terrance, this Pokblock was completely worthless.

Terrance also almost understood its working principle, which was probably to combine and blend Berries suitable for a certain Pokmon, and then crush and condense them into a block in the machine.

During this time, under some unknown process, the nutritions of the Berries were cleverly sealed into the block, which was also the highlight of this machine.

The combination of Berries for different Pokmon should have been researched by that Senior Breeder.

Indeed, the taste of Pokblocks made from these Berries suited the majority of Pokmon, which was already beyond the usual Pokmon food.

It seemsthe achievements of this Senior Breeder Lynn in food production were really not just talk.

However, there were also drawbacks, which Terrance noticed. Pokblocks still couldnt surpass handmade Pokmon food, at least not for now.

For Beautifly, this Pokblock was just extremely ordinary food, without any distinguishing features, and its nutritional value and taste couldnt even be compared with what it currently eats.

Currently, the food Terrances Pokmon eat was the most suitable one he makes based on their tastes, growth conditions, training intensity, after consulting a lot of information, and asking several skilled Breeders within the academy who were good at making Pokmon food. Although it couldnt be said to be the best, it was extremely suitable, cleverly matching their growth progress.

And the biggest credit for this was the guidance given by Teacher Teresa. After her guidance, the food Terrance made for the Pokmon surpassed ordinary nutrition products, both in nutritional value and taste.

Terrance had asked Teresas Breeder level but she just smiled and brushed it off, and he had asked other teachers, but they didnt know either.

This puzzled Terrance a lot. Could it be that Teacher Teresa hadnt been certified as a Breeder? But her skill in making Pokmon food was indeed very impressive and unique, at least different from any concept on the market, showing a personal style.

Terrance suspected whether her skill in making Pokmon food was a legacy of an ancient trade passed down in her family, some kind of special secret recipe?

Anyway, although the food Terrances Pokmon ate was not perfect, it was the most suitable. With continuous improvement in food, the food Terrance gave them had reached a level which was extremely compatible with them.

So, accustomed to delicacies, why would they care about Pokblocks? Even if Pokblocks were superior to the food on the market, they were not enough to satisfy Pokmon belonging to an excellent Breeder.

Terrance understood this point, so he quickly defused the situation.

Overall, this demonstration was successful. Many people were attracted to the Pokblock Machine and became interested in this new thing, Pokblocks.

After this batch was over, people dispersed, and Terrance left too.

But someone immediately called out to him. Terrance looked over and saw a youngster next to him.

Phew, you could really walk fast. I almost couldnt catch up, the person gasped.

May I ask is there something you need? Terrance asked, surprised.

I just want to confirm your Beautifly really doesnt like that Pokblock, right? the person said.

Why do you say that? Terrance was curious.

The youngster said, Im a Pokmon Professor, an apprentice kind, but I can confirm that your Beautifly is fine, so the so-called face paralysis you mentioned doesnt exist.

You chased me for such a long time just for this? Terrance was speechless.

Ohh, yes, Id feel uneasy if I didnt clarify it, the other person said.

Um, Im Bianca, could you satisfy my curiosity, please? the youngster said, lowering their tone, Why is it that even though your Beautifly doesnt like it, you still said the Pokblock is good?

This person was quick to act, grabbing Terrances hand, almost calling him big brother.

I didnt lie. Although Beautifly doesnt like it, that Pokblock is still decent, Terrance said helplessly.

Why? the other person was puzzled.

Because I tried it too, Terrance said seriously, While feeding Beautifly, I also tasted it.

For most or ninety-nine percent of Beautifly, that Pokblock can be considered a delicious nutritional product.

Then, why Bianca was still puzzled.

In short, my Beautifly is a bit special, thats all, Terrance said.

Specialwell, big brother, whats your opinion on this Pokblock Machine? Bianca asked again.

Opinion? Terrance chuckled. This Bianca was quite a weirdo, and when did he become big brother?

Why is  this Bianca asking about everything!

However, laymen watch the excitement, while experts discern the intricacies.

Terrance believed that this Pokblock Machine wouldnt spread widely in a short time.

Firstly, the other party said that currently there was only that model of the machine, which was too restrictive. If it could become like a Pokdex, no even if it could fit into a backpack, it wouldnt face such an awkward situation.

So, this Pokblock Machine was destined not to become a standard for Trainers like the Pokdex, which, in a sense, already limited its usefulness.

Secondly!

Based on current observations, the raw ingredients for making the food were fixed, which meant that the taste of Pokblocks for each Pokmon was fixed!

Pokmon also have senses. Even if something is delicious and nutritious, if they get used to one taste, theyll get tired of it over time.

This was something that couldnt be changed no matter what.

So, this Pokblock Machine was also doomed not to last like the healing machine at the Pokmon Center.

Fixed recipes and fixed production locations would severely limit the usefulness of the Pokblock Machine.

If you wanted the Pokblock Machine to last long, there needed to be more combinations suitable for different Pokmon.

Even for Pokmon with different personalities, there should be choices available, and then, they have to continuously improve the machine, striving for convenience.

If the creator could concoct food for different types and personalities of Pokmon, not using a fixed template but understanding the tastes of Pokmon and blending them, then the Pokblock Machine would truly have a place.

Like this it would be no less than having a Breeder skilled in making food accompanying you. Whether for Trainers or ordinary people raising Pokmon, this machine would be an excellent assistant.

However, based on current observations, it hasnt reached such an envisioned level yet. Its no wonder they havent started promoting it widely; perhaps the developers also understand the shortcomings of the current Pokblock Machine.

Improvements and wider acceptance, through continuous experimentation and combinations based on the principle of Pokblocks, require a process. Perhaps the other party wants to let a group of pioneers come up with more Berry combinations themselves to optimize the Pokblocks.

After all, this is a huge project, and individual efforts are ultimately limited.

After thinking carefully, Terrance somewhat understood, but explaining it would be too troublesome. He didnt want to slowly explain it to Bianca, and doing so would be too ostentatious.

Anyway, for a few years, it would be difficult to promote this Pokblock Machine. If this event is successful, theres also a high possibility that its heading in the direction Terrance envisioned.

But even if Terrances guess is correct, he doesnt want to be a prophet.

So he directly found an excuse, shook off Bianca, and dashed towards the Safari Zone. When he left Lilycove City, Terrance suddenly realized that he didnt need to walk so much After all, he had Altaria to ride.

[TN: Biancas gender hasnt been mentioned in the chapter, so Im not sure if its an original character or the character Bianca from Pokemon world. I will change the name if its mentioned that Bianca is male in later chapters.]
