The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight filtered through the curtain gaps into the room, Wen Qi was still immersed in a sweet dream.
However, in his small world, the adorable Turtwig seemed to sense its owner's absence and eagerly searched for Wen Qi's trace. This strong sensation jolted Wen Qi awake instantly. He quickly released Turtwig from the space.
As soon as Turtwig saw Wen Qi, it couldn't wait to rush toward him, chirping happily, "Turtwig, Turtwig," its eyes sparkling with excitement, and even faint tears could be seen glistening at the corners.
Wen Qi picked up Turtwig with a pang of sympathy, feeling its attachment and trust in him. He gently stroked Turtwig's shell and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't abandon you. There's no need to be afraid."
Seeing Turtwig's hungry look, Wen Qi quickly took out the Moomoo Milk he had prepared earlier and fed it to him. Turtwig devoured it eagerly, and its satisfied expression filled Wen Qi with immense joy.
After breakfast, Wen Qi packed his belongings, ready to embark on a journey to the Pokémon Center with his beloved Turtwig. Along the way, Turtwig curiously poked its head out of Wen Qi's backpack, fascinated by everything around them. They passed through bustling streets, admired the vibrant cityscape, and felt the noise and vitality of this world. Wen Qi occasionally introduced the surroundings to Turtwig, while Turtwig widened its eyes, observing this unfamiliar world with curiosity.
Finally, they arrived at the spacious and bright Pokémon Center. A prominent sign hung at the entrance, reading "Pokémon Center" in large letters. Wen Qi led Turtwig through the door, greeted by a fresh scent and a warm atmosphere. A kind nurse smiled and approached them, gently taking Turtwig from Wen Qi to conduct a thorough check-up.
While waiting, Wen Qi looked around the center, noticing various Pokémon medical equipment and medicines, as well as photos and introductions of Pokémon hanging on the walls. This place not only offered health checks and treatment services for Pokémon but also served as a great spot for Pokémon enthusiasts to exchange knowledge and learn.
After a while, the nurse returned with Turtwig. She told Wen Qi that Turtwig was in excellent health with no abnormalities. Hearing this, Wen Qi's anxious heart finally settled. He gratefully took Turtwig back, gently stroking its shell, thanking it for its constant companionship and trust.
After Turtwig's check-up, Wen Qi decided to head to the Pokémon Association to register its information. The Pokémon Association is the authoritative body responsible for Pokémon registration and management, meticulously recording and certifying each Pokémon to ensure their identity and rights are protected.
Navigating through the city's streets and alleys, Wen Qi arrived at the Pokémon Association's office building. The atmosphere here was more formal and solemn than at the Pokémon Center. Wen Qi approached the front desk and explained his purpose to the staff. They warmly received him and directed him to the registration counter.
At the counter, Wen Qi filled out a detailed form about Turtwig, including its species, gender, birth date, and other basic information. The staff carefully verified each detail and processed the registration. Finally, they handed Wen Qi a Pokémon registration certificate, featuring Turtwig's photo and basic info.
After completing the registration, Wen Qi went to the Association's shop to buy some Poké Balls. Although he had a small world to store Pokémon, Poké Balls were still essential tools for capturing and carrying them. At the shop, Wen Qi selected several high-quality Poké Balls, preparing to capture more Pokémon.
Back at the Pokémon Center, Wen Qi looked at Turtwig before him, his heart full of anticipation and excitement. He gently patted Turtwig's head and said softly, "Turtwig, would you like to be my partner?" Turtwig seemed to understand Wen Qi's words and nodded vigorously, indicating its willingness to share the future with him. Thus, Wen Qi successfully captured Turtwig using a Poké Ball.
At that moment, the system's voice rang out: "Congratulations, host, on capturing your first Pokémon. The system rewards you with points (only the first capture earns a reward)." Hearing this, Wen Qi couldn't help but smile with joy. He knew this wasn't just a points reward but also recognition of his efforts and dedication.
After handling these matters, Wen Qi decided to go to the mall to purchase urgently needed supplies for the farm. The mall entrance was bustling with crowds. Wen Qi strode inside, his eyes quickly scanning the shelves for the items he needed.
First, he went to the farming tools section. Shovels, hoes, sickles—everything was available. Wen Qi carefully selected a few high-quality shovels and hoes. Though ordinary, these tools were indispensable for daily farm work. Even if Pokémon would help later, these traditional tools still held unique value and significance.
Next, he moved to the feed section. Faced with a dazzling array of feeds, he fell into thought. The farm's Pokémon needed nutritionally balanced feed to grow healthily, so choosing the right feed was crucial. Wen Qi carefully examined the ingredient labels to ensure they met the Pokémon's nutritional needs. After some selection, he bought several types of feed suitable for different Pokémon species.
Then, Wen Qi went to the seed section. Various seeds were displayed, including berry seeds, fruit seeds, and flower seeds. Based on the farm's planting plan and seasonal characteristics, he chose some vegetable and berry seeds suitable for the current season.
Finally, Wen Qi arrived at the checkout counter. Seeing the shopping cart full of supplies, he felt very satisfied. These supplies would strongly support the farm's production and development, filling him with hope and confidence for the future. At checkout, Wen Qi specifically asked if the mall offered delivery service. Learning they could deliver to his door, he opted for it without hesitation. This saved him time and effort while ensuring the supplies arrived safely at the farm.
Leaving the mall, it was already noon. Feeling hungry, Wen Qi took Turtwig to a quiet corner and entered the small world. Inside, they enjoyed a hearty lunch. Watching Turtwig eat with relish, Wen Qi felt immensely happy and content.
After lunch, Wen Qi began pondering future plans. He knew that to run the farm well, he needed more Pokémon to help. Although the system couldn't directly sell Pokémon, he could visit various nurseries in the city to look for promising Pokémon Eggs. The system's detection was more accurate than the League's machines, giving him more confidence and anticipation. Of course, he understood he couldn't be too obvious about finding bargains, or it might arouse suspicion and dissatisfaction. So, he planned to discreetly buy some eggs and nurture them carefully, turning them into capable farm assistants.
Additionally, Wen Qi intended to make Pokéblocks to feed the Pokémon. Though the system had ready-made ones, they were expensive and limited in quantity. In contrast, making his own was cheaper and allowed customization based on the Pokémon's needs. So, he decided to go to the mall to buy a Pokéblock-making machine.
When Wen Qi saw the expensive machine priced at a million, he couldn't help but sigh. However, thinking of the future profits and the invaluable points that couldn't be measured in money, he gritted his teeth and bought it. To avoid unnecessary attention, he chose to carry it himself, carefully hiding it in his small world. But imagining the lively Pokémon on the farm enjoying delicious Pokéblocks, he felt it was all worth it.
Thus, Wen Qi left the mall with a full load and high hopes. Before leaving, he also bought a space backpack. Though its size was only 2x2x2, seemingly insignificant, it cost him a whopping 200,000. Yet, this was to better conceal the small world's existence in the future, avoiding awkwardness when carrying items.
After handling all this, he glanced at the time and decided to go home first to accompany the newly hatched Turtwig. As for visiting the nursery to find bargains, he set that aside for another day when he had free time.
