After explaining the concept of Team Battles to Fang Yuan, Lin Jing, and Liu Le for three hours, and showing them some Team Battle videos, Zhuang Xin said:
"Alright, that's it for the morning class."
"This afternoon's class will be a comprehensive analysis of your performance in last week's field combat training. Remember to bring your pens and notebooks."
Before leaving, she glanced at the three of them and added, "I'll let you know in advance that tomorrow is a day off, but you need to use today's notes to think carefully about how the three of you can cooperate to be considered a qualified team. Before next Friday, each of you needs to submit a summary of no less than a thousand words. Don't take it lightly. The completeness of your summary will determine the fate of your second field combat training next week... That's all... You can go eat now."
Zhuang Xin left, very decisively... leaving the three from the New Star Plan staring at each other.
"What! We're having field combat training again next week?!" Liu Le stood up abruptly, looking like he was about to cry.
"Isn't the problem how to write this thousand-word summary?"
Lin Jing was originally happy to hear that she didn't have to come to class on Sunday, but when she heard that she had to write a thousand-word summary, she became worried.
Sure enough, none of the teachers in the world are easy to deal with.
How should she even start writing this thing? "Fang Yuan, what do you think?" Lin Jing turned her head and asked.
"Let me think..."
"Aren't we going to have a comprehensive analysis of our performance in last week's field combat training this afternoon? I feel like we can start there," Fang Yuan said.
At their current stage, they shouldn't even think about advanced tactics; they haven't reached that level yet.
Instead of thinking about those unattainable tactics, the most important thing right now is to make up for each person's shortcomings.
They are all Rookie Trainers; it's not realistic to want to run before they can even walk.
If a team can make up for each other's shortcomings through cooperation, that should be considered the most basic requirement of a so-called team!
"Okay," Lin Jing sighed.
Fang Yuan scratched his head. Although Team Battles are troublesome, it is a necessary experience to become a Professional Trainer.
For Professional Trainers, when individual strength is limited, having a reliable team can indeed maximize the chances of survival.
This has been proven with countless blood and lives.
...
After finishing the morning class, Fang Yuan and the others went downstairs to eat.
During this time, Liu Le was still complaining: "It's not that I'm against field combat training, but the amount of Pokémon Food I'm given is too little!!"
"Tell me, can my Snorlax compare to Eevee and Growlithe?"
"I gave my own food to Snorlax, and it's still not full. In short, if it's the same amount of food as last time, one of us will definitely go hungry."
As Liu Le spoke, Fang Yuan and Lin Jing laughed.
There's no helping it; Snorlax's appetite is just too terrifying.
"I remember Snorlax also eats vegetation, right? Why not just forage on the mountain?" Lin Jing suggested.
"In that case... Snorlax would probably be even less willing to fight," Fang Yuan was very clear about Liu Le's situation.
Fang Yuan said, "Liu Le's Snorlax is also a weirdo because it's a picky eater..."
"Since it was born, Liu Le has been feeding it well. Unless it's extremely hungry, Snorlax would never eat the vegetation all over the mountains and plains."
"Yes, my Snorlax usually cares a lot about the taste... Eating something unpalatable makes it very depressed." Liu Le had a headache, wondering if he was raising a fake Snorlax.
Pokémon are indeed like people; you can't spoil them, or all sorts of problems will arise.
"Also, I'm worried Snorlax will find those thorns unhygienic... Forget it, I'll go ask Sister Zhuang for a few Compressed Biscuits. Although Snorlax doesn't really like them, at least the fat content and calories can satisfy Snorlax!" Liu Le said.
Lin Jing pursed her lips upon hearing this and said, "Compressed Biscuits, a good idea..."
Compressed Biscuits?
Fang Yuan was also stunned and suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Facing Lin Jing and Liu Le's confusion, Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's keep going."
Compressed Biscuits...
Fang Yuan fell into thought. Just now, he suddenly thought of something very important.
In the anime, Haruka, one of the female protagonists, also has a Snorlax.
Like other Snorlax, it is very gluttonous, often eating the Pokémon Food of Ash and his friends in one gulp, causing trouble for their journey.
This situation was only resolved after Haruka saw the food that Professor Oak developed for Ash's Snorlax, which could make it full with just one bite, because Haruka also tried to develop this food and succeeded.
This food is naturally the Energy Cube.
Energy Cubes are not only extremely nutritious, but also bring different benefits to Pokémon depending on the recipe.
The Energy Cube that Haruka developed for Snorlax is like the "Senzu Bean" in Dragon Ball; eating one can make Snorlax feel very full.
"On Earth... it seems there's no such thing as an Energy Cube!"
Currently, the utilization of Berries on Earth is still at the level of direct consumption and making nutritional products, but those nutritional products are almost all made in the form of juice. As far as Fang Yuan remembers, the concept of Energy Cubes has not yet appeared on the market.
Is the process of making Energy Cubes difficult? In the original work, you only need to cut various Berries into small pieces, throw them into a Berry Blender, and then you can pour out Energy Cubes.
Under the rotation and stirring of the machine, the flavors of the Berries will not only cancel each other out, but also form an Energy Cube-like crystal.
This crystal is the Energy Cube.
"Although the Berry Blender looks like a juicer, the two are definitely different. There must be other steps involved. If it were as simple as juicing, it wouldn't have gone undiscovered for decades."
"Generally speaking, after the pulp is crushed, it's in the state of juice and sediment. It's impossible to directly form Energy Cube-like crystals."
"Does this mean that after high-speed rotation and stirring, there is another step inside the machine that compresses and solidifies the stirred material into a cube?"
"This step is the key to purifying the energy into crystals."
Fang Yuan suddenly lost his appetite and just wanted to quickly test his conclusions.
Except for some rare Berries, Ordinary Berries like Oran Berries are not rare and have long been grown in large quantities to be sold to Trainers. Compared to expensive nutritional products, they are incredibly cheap.
If Fang Yuan can Grasp the method of making Energy Cubes, then he can produce his own nutritional products, turning relatively cheap Berries into Energy Cubes with extremely high nutritional value!
"The step of rotating and stirring Berry fragments is easy to solve... but the steps of compression and solidification are not so easy..." Fang Yuan pondered.
"Perhaps, we can use Magnemite's Psychic Power to compress the blended mixture into Energy Cube shapes?"
"After that, what conditions are needed for solidification? Temperature?"
