Pokemon: How Are You Cultivating Immortality in the Pokemon World?

A sumptuous lunch was quickly prepared. Since it was a housewarming feast, Lu Li intended to make a truly grand meal, at least more lavish than the last one.

Yu Lili, who had been eagerly anticipating the meal, stared longingly at the delicacies on the table. If the dishes weren't still being brought out and Lu Li wasn't still busy in the kitchen, she would have already started eating.

Anxious about wasting food, Yu Lili couldn't wait to call out, "Lu Li, that's probably enough. The two of us can't eat too much."

"It's fine, there's only one dish left," Lu Li said as he carried a pot out of the kitchen. After placing the pot on the table and lifting the lid, the captivating aroma instantly filled the villa.

Even Little Charmander was drawn in by the scent.

"This is…" Yu Lili asked, looking at the dishes on the table with amazement.

Lu Li smiled and introduced, "Braised Slowpoke Tail. I didn't expect the renovation company to be so generous as to leave behind such a precious ingredient."

Slowpoke tails were rare ingredients that ordinary people couldn't necessarily buy even if they had the money.

In this world, humans are strictly forbidden from harming Pokémon without reason. A long time ago, humans used to hunt Pokémon for food, but with the establishment of the League, this behavior has been explicitly prohibited.

However, a complete ban was impossible, as evidenced by precious ingredients like Slowpoke tails.

Unlike other Pokémon, Slowpoke tails are renewable, and Slowpoke, after reaching a certain age, will shed their tails regularly, just like snakes shedding their skin.

Some clever merchants have seized upon this characteristic of Slowpoke, raising them in large numbers and harvesting their tails on a regular basis.

The price of a single Slowpoke tail can even reach nearly ten thousand, and better quality ones may be even more expensive.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Yu Lili shouted energetically as she picked up her chopsticks.

"Char~"

Little Charmander tugged at Lu Li's pant leg, looking unhappy.

Lu Li looked down at Little Charmander and asked curiously, "You want some too?"

Little Charmander nodded.

Little Charmander is an omnivorous Pokémon, unlike Tropius, which are vegetarian. Slowpoke tails aren't just loved by humans.

Lu Li scooped a portion for Little Charmander into a small bowl, and then poured a portion for himself.

After personally tasting the deliciousness of the Slowpoke tail, Lu Li had a clear understanding of this delicacy.

Slowpoke tail is truly a delicacy that you can make delicious as long as you know how to cook.

Yu Lili, who had no resistance to good food, once again collapsed on the sofa.

With a full belly, Yu Lili lay on the sofa with a satisfied expression, as if her life was complete.

Lu Li handed Yu Lili the digestive pills he had prepared in advance.

Lu Li casually lectured, "As a Trainer, having such a weak willpower to resist temptation is not good."

A Trainer who cannot resist temptation is a terrible thing, especially when traveling outside. In the wild, many Trainers lose their lives because of greed.

"I only have this one hobby," Yu Lili didn't take Lu Li's words to heart.

As a food lover, Yu Lili said that she really couldn't let down this large table of delicacies.

Lu Li was speechless, but he didn't continue to lecture Yu Lili.

After all, everyone is in their adolescence and not at an age where they can listen to advice. Some things only need to be said once, and repeating them will only cause annoyance.

"You can rest here first, I happen to have something to do," Lu Li said as he stood up.

"Go, go."

"When I can move around, I'll take a good look around this villa," Yu Lili said lazily.

Lu Li nodded and then went to the villa's basement.

With his mental power fully activated, after confirming that there were no mental fluctuations around, Lu Li entered the refining room.

"A Gym Leader-level Psychic-type Pokémon, Gym Leader Yu is really generous. That should be his first-tier Pokémon, right?" Lu Li whispered.

Psychic-type plus Steel-type, Lu Li instantly locked onto the identity of that Pokémon.

Bronzong!

Among ordinary Pokémon with this type combination, there is only Bronzong. The others are either pseudo-legendary, mythical, or Paradox Pokémon.

Ever since Yu Lili arrived at the villa, Lu Li had noticed a Psychic-type Pokémon hiding in the dark, but Lu Li didn't expose it.

After all, they didn't have any malicious intent, and why would a rookie Trainer like you be able to detect a hidden Gym Leader-level Psychic-type Pokémon?

After confirming that there were no abnormalities around, Lu Li took out a Apricorn.

Apricorns are the main material for making Poké Balls. Their characteristic is that they cannot be eaten, and their skin and shells are particularly hard and odorless.

With both hands forming a seal, after summoning a high-temperature flame, Lu Li threw the Apricorn into the flame.

According to the normal settings of the cultivation world, equipment involving space types is extremely difficult to refine, after all, the space attribute itself is one of the most mysterious attributes.

Normally speaking, a novice refiner cannot refine space magic tools on their first try.

But the Pokémon world is different.

Due to the magical existence of Apricorns, even ordinary people can create the legendary space magic tool - the Poké Ball - with a set of blacksmithing equipment.

In the Pokémon world, Poké Balls are handicrafts, and can't even be said to be high-tech products.

But this thing, placed in the cultivation world, is a proper space magic tool, a space magic tool that can hold living things, and that level of awesomeness can almost crush the vast majority of magic tools.

"First, remove the skin… then install the capture net… finally…"

Lu Li carefully controlled the flames and constantly scrubbed the Red Apricorn with Steel-type energy.

Half an hour later.

A Poké Ball that didn't look very standard was made.

The guess was verified, it turned out that he was only one point away from success.

Lu Li had an indescribable feeling. The problem that had plagued him for several years was solved just like that. He was only a thin layer of paper away from success back then.

If he could have met Yu Lili earlier, maybe he would have completed the localization of the refiner long ago.

However, making a Poké Ball is only the beginning. In the Pokémon world, a Pokémon tool maker only just begins after making a Poké Ball.

But everything is difficult at the beginning. With a good start, the next step will be much easier.

Deciding to strike while the iron was hot, Lu Li first sealed his sense of smell with energy, and then took out a Red Apricorn from his backpack.

The Red Apricorn has a particularly pungent smell that is almost unbearable for normal people, so Lu Li sealed his sense of smell in advance.

Red Apricorns can be used to make Level Balls, which have the effect of increasing the capture rate of wild Pokémon that are weaker than oneself.

This thing can be said to be the most popular Poké Ball among Pokémon hunters, and the difficulty of making it is more difficult than ordinary Poké Balls.

With the first experience, Lu Li performed much more calmly this time.

Soon, the Level Ball was successfully refined. Although the appearance was a bit poor, the effect was the same as the Level Ball.

After being verified again, Lu Li even thought about directly refining a Master Ball, but unfortunately he didn't know the recipe for that thing.
