Chapter 40: Breeding House Library

"Welcome, please register first." The registration staff smiled and greeted the two boys who came in.

"How do we do that? Do we need to pay?" Brock poked his head out and asked.

"Well, if you don't have any other channels and are ready to pay, there are two modes here. One is to buy time, and you can read and even copy any book in the library. The other is to borrow books based on the price tag under the book, and you can take the books out of the library to read," the registration staff explained.

"I see. Then I'll buy some time first." Brock thought for a moment. He couldn't stay in the Hoenn area for too long, and he was only here to broaden his horizons. If he borrowed books, he probably wouldn't be able to read them for long.

After the registration staff understood his intention, she pointed to the wall opposite. There was a huge screen on the wall showing the cost of different levels and corresponding time. Brock ran towards it immediately after seeing it.

Then, the registration staff looked at Darren. But before she could say anything, Darren handed her a sky-blue booklet.

"What is this?" The registration staff was slightly surprised when she saw the familiar pattern on the cover of the booklet. And after flipping through it, the content inside made her even more incredulous.

Under Darren's avatar was the title "Junior Breeder," and the date and age of passing the official review were all printed on it, which shocked the registration staff.

It's not that she hadn't seen breeders before, but... a ten-year-old breeder was a bit too amazing.

"Please keep it. You can read any book within the first three floors." The registration staff smiled and handed him the certificate.

At this time, Brock came back.

"First floor, two hours, right?" Brock handed the money he had prepared to the staff and asked.

"Yes." The staff took the money and quickly gave him a square paper that looked like a qualification certificate.

"Huh? Darren, why are you still here?" Brock was a little confused when he saw Darren still standing there. "Oh, you must know the prices. Have you finished ordering?"

"It's done. Let's go inside." Darren smiled and didn't explain anything. The two of them went straight into the library.

Brock hoped to find books about raising Pokemon, while Darren was looking for books about training techniques, ultimate moves, and even detailed descriptions of specific Pokemon like the Swablu.

After entering the library, Darren and Brock separated. In fact, the library was very large, and even the books on the first floor made Darren amazed. If it weren't for the detailed division, it would take him an astronomical amount of time to find the book he wanted.

If the first floor is like a primary school textbook for "Pokemon Studies," then the second floor is more like books on "history" and "novels" As for the upper floors, they contain even more advanced knowledge, including some technologies related to Poké Ball manufacturing.

However, even if someone were to look at these books without special training, they might not necessarily understand what they are about. It's not like you can make a Poké Ball just by looking at its materials and manufacturing process, right? Otherwise, the technology, details, science, and resources behind Poké Balls wouldn't be monopolized by the League and a few large corporations, which are beyond the power of individuals to reach.

Darren searched the first and third floors for a while and soon found the few books he needed. These included "The History of the Altaria Species", "Analysis of Dragon-Type Ultimate Moves," and some additional books on other moves, breeding, and diet for the Altaria and the Beautifly species.

Generally speaking, even a book introducing "Dragon-Type Moves" has no less than four or five versions. However, as a breeder, Darren naturally has his own judgment and understanding and can choose the most suitable one for him without any problem.

Finding books was easy, and Darren had no intention of reading them here. As a junior breeder, he could borrow them for a long time, and even if he lost them, the compensation paid was extremely favorable. That's the advantage of being a breeder.

After getting the books he needed, Darren didn't idle around. It was rare for him to come to such a large library, and the books he usually read were mainly focused on basic knowledge and common sense theory. As for knowledge about the world itself, such as the process of establishing the League, the history between ancient Pokemon and trainers, and the history of famous people and modern development, besides the most obvious things that most adults know, Darren didn't know much about the others.

So, after browsing for a while, Darren came to the second floor. His memories from his past life made him interested in books like biographies.

After that, Darren spent some time alone in a corner of the second floor, quickly browsing through certain books with great interest. These narrative-style books didn't require him to use too much concentration.

Many of these books aroused Darren's interest, such as the fact that before Poké Balls were invented, humans used another special tool to control Pokemon, which were called "monsters" at the time.

Even in the ancient times without technology, humans were not at the bottom of the food chain. Hundreds of years ago, this world also had a country system, and various forces constantly fought for resources and territory.

At that time, Pokemon were the main tools of war. The idea of humans and Pokemon being partners was a very rare concept back then.

In addition, Darren also discovered a book introducing the Crown Academy. However, this kind of obscure book would not have caught many people's interest if it were not for him intentionally searching for this.

After reading a lot, Darren let out a sigh of relief. The feeling of immersion in a sea of books, the kind of joy that comes from the transformation of the whole person after gaining new knowledge, is truly intoxicating!

Every time he learned something new, Darren felt a sense of inner fulfillment. The human desire for knowledge seemed to be amplified and expanded in him.

Looking at the time, Darren stretched lazily and decided to finish the last book in his hand before going back. There will be plenty of time to read in the future, so there is no need to rush at this moment.
