The next day, Qing Wu woke up early. He took out the recipe for the basic Pokéblocks. The recipe for this Pokéblock mostly consisted of common berries and herbs. During his foraging yesterday, Qing Wu had already seen many berries and herbs, and had secretly used the system to record their locations.
What Qing Wu needed to do now was to find the berries and herbs, then mix them to make Pokéblocks. These Pokéblocks would compensate for Aron's losses.
Zubat was thoroughly examined by Qing Wu. It had only been hungry for a few days, so there wasn't much impact.
"Go, Zubat, use Supersonic to repel the Rattata."
Around the berry trees, there were some aggressive Rattata preventing Qing Wu from picking berries. Qing Wu decisively had Zubat use Supersonic to drive away the Rattata, and successfully defeated the Rattata.
"Alright, got the Pecha Berries." Qing Wu picked a large number of Pecha Berries. With these Pecha Berries, he could make a batch of detoxifying Pokéblocks, which were important strategic resources on Trial Island.
"There are still some herbs I haven't found. Aron, continue to use Iron Defense." Qing Wu said to Aron. Aron wasn't just simply using Iron Defense; it needed to extend the duration of Iron Defense. Qing Wu tested Aron's Iron Defense duration. It was only thirty seconds, which was far from enough.
Iron Defense is a skill that increases defense, and it's also an excellent skill for training body strength. Qing Wu's top priority now was to help Aron recover its body, so training and battling could only be postponed. Furthermore, Qing Wu now had Zubat as a utility Pokémon; he just needed to train it well.
A day passed. Qing Wu and Zubat had almost covered the entire perimeter of the forest before finally finding all the herbs. And with the help of the system, he successfully completed a batch of orange Pokéblocks.
Qing Wu held the Pokéblock in his hand. A cool sensation emanated from his palm, and he could smell a faint, fruity aroma. Looking at the Pokéblock against the sun, its surface was incredibly smooth, and its center was clear and translucent, like a flawless gem.
"I didn't expect to be able to make such flawless basic Pokéblocks. As expected, I haven't lost my touch." Qing Wu said with satisfaction. As a Pokémon breeding master in his previous life, he could make perfect quality Pokéblocks.
Zubat and Aron were both attracted by the scent of the Pokéblocks, drooling with desire. Zubat and Aron even tugged at Qing Wu's pant legs and shoulders, wanting a taste.
Qing Wu flicked his finger towards Zubat and Aron's mouths. The Pokéblocks landed directly in Zubat and Aron's mouths. The two Pokémon, who had been unable to contain themselves, felt a special sensation surge through them after eating the Pokéblocks.
This is too damn delicious!!!
Zubat was once again conquered by Qing Wu's craftsmanship, believing that becoming Qing Wu's Pokémon was a good choice. Aron, on the other hand, felt a warm current spread from its belly, warming its entire body.
Aron, after eating the Pokéblock, fell into a deep sleep. This meant that the basic Pokéblock's efficacy had begun to take effect, and it was repairing Aron's foundation. Zubat, on the other hand, comfortably squinted its eyes. The morning sunlight was still a bit much for Zubat.
Qing Wu knew about Zubat's nocturnal nature, so he was also adjusting Zubat's routine and its adaptation to sunlight. Otherwise, other Rocket Team trainees could easily exploit Zubat's weakness to strong light and defeat it.
"This Pokéblock can only be eaten for half a month. After half a month, it will be useless to Aron and Zubat." After all, it was only a basic Pokéblock. Qing Wu naturally knew that it was only useful for some basic Pokémon.
"Zubat, you're going to start training." The squinting Zubat shivered after seeing Qing Wu's devilish smile.
Qing Wu carefully stored the nearly 150 Pokéblocks he had made, which was roughly five days' worth. Aron had a larger appetite and could eat twenty per day, while Zubat ate ten per day. Qing Wu would wait until Aron recovered from its losses before starting Pokémon training.
"Zubat, let's start with the basics."
[Pokémon: Zubat (Green)]
[Gender: Female]
[Level: 12]

[Ability: Infiltrator.]

This Zubat's aptitude was quite good, and it even knew a powerful move like Shadow Ball.
Qing Wu continuously tossed Pokéblocks to Zubat, and Zubat caught every single one.
"Is this what it means to get stronger by spending money?" Qing Wu wondered, watching Zubat's mental state improve after eating the Pokéblocks.
