Chapter 114: Departure from Zheqin Town

It turns out that Nemo and Piper were just overthinking it and wouldn't dream of doing this.

The confident "Mastiff Team" composed of Nemo and Papa was completely defeated when facing the combination of Bai Pengpeng and Hualiao Huanhuan.

Under Luo Mu's command, the strength of Hualiao Huanhuan and Bai Pengpeng was combined into one, which was totally beyond the ability of Butubo and Ao Godfather to deal with alone.

At the beginning, Puffball unfolds a green grass field. At the same time, Flower Therapy Ring's ability Flower Curtain and the move Flower Defense directly act on Puffball, a grass-type Pokémon.

Nemo's Butterfly Dipper can't trigger the paralysis effect even if it is rubbed on the cheek.

Even if the Mastiff Godfather found the right opportunity to attack Bai Pengpeng, it would be just like a tickle for Bai Pengpeng, who was in a state of increased defense brought by the flower defense and was also receiving double treatment from the green grass field and the flower therapy ring.

Even after Nemo's reminder, Papa used the transformation move, but he couldn't reduce Puffball's ability because the flower curtain feature was taking effect.

Bai Pengpeng happened to have recently learned the Green Grass Slide trick under the instruction of the Monarch Snake. It raced along with the Flower Therapy Ring with sparks and lightning, while the Mastiff Godfather and Butubo could only passively take the beating.

In a doubles battle where the two teams should have been evenly matched in strength, Luo Mu ended up crushing them. After the battle, not to mention Papper, who was prone to emo, even Neemo fell into a short period of self-doubt.

After a while, their self-doubts disappeared under Luo Mu's patient explanation, and Nimo regained her fighting spirit as if she were reborn.

"Pokémon are creatures with all kinds of magical abilities. Their moves, characteristics, and talents can all be turned into sharp swords for you in battle."

"For example, I teamed up with FloraCare and White Pokémon because FloraCare, even as a fairy-type Pokémon, can provide excellent help to White Pokémon, a grass-type Pokémon, and their moves can multiply with each other."

"Flower Healer's ability Flower Curtain can protect Grass-type Pokémon like Fluttershy from abnormal status and ability reduction effects, while Flower Defense can further improve the defensive ability of Grass-type Pokémon."

"As a support for the Flower Therapy Ring, White Fluffy can use the Grass Field move to relieve it of pressure. White Fluffy itself is a Pokémon that excels at defense and can protect the relatively fragile Flower Therapy Ring."

Luo Mu was giving a lecture, answering questions for the two rookie trainers who had just started from the starting line. Looking at Papa who was taking notes frantically and Neemo who seemed to have an epiphany, Luo Mu smiled:
"You don't have to digest this knowledge right away. You can review it slowly after you return."

Papa's pen tip is almost smoking from his memorization. He is very clear about his own positioning. Since he has no talent, he can make up for it in other ways. If he can't understand what Luo Mu explained at once, he can just read more, learn more and ask more questions.

Nimo, who seemed to be thinking about something, suddenly raised her hand, her eyes so bright that they seemed to burn people: "Baby Bear's characteristic is sprinting. So when I play in doubles, can I use Butterfly's cheek rub or electromagnetic wave moves to forcibly trigger its sprinting characteristic and increase Baby Bear's speed?"

Luo Mu clapped his hands and praised generously: "Not bad, you have a flexible mind. This is also a way to use the characteristics of Pokémon to enhance combat effectiveness."

Neemo's talent as a trainer is truly terrifying. I only demonstrated and gave her some pointers, and she was able to draw inferences from what I learned and come up with her own sprinting tactics with the bear cub as the core.

As for Papper, Luo Mu thinks that while he can make up for his shortcomings with hard work, he can also try to establish a deeper connection with Pokémon.

For example, through food.

In this world, the power of bonds is equally important. When fighting against Ye Ci, didn’t he just shout about friendship and bonds with the Roentgen Cat and directly beat Crystal Flower to the ground?

After seeing off Nimo and Papa, who had gained some insights, Luo Mu returned to his normal life. The salary from Orange College had been deposited into his card last night. Luo Mu also finalized the fence reconstruction plan with the contractor of the Haoli Engineering Team and gave a deposit of 20,000 Alliance Coins. The remaining balance of 60,000 Alliance Coins will be settled after the project is delivered.

The next day, Luo Mu ran to Pingdie Town and bought some flower seeds, such as sunflowers, lavender, asters, tulips and so on.

Moreover, nectar plants such as sunflowers and lavender will be the favorites of Pokémon that can collect nectar. He has already begun planning for the moment when three female bees appear in the queen bee group and he will adopt them to produce honey for the farm.

Under the sparkling sight of the flower therapy ring, Luo Mu and the Pokémon planted them together. After a while, these seeds will germinate, grow, and finally grow into a beautiful flower field.

There was nothing noteworthy in the days that followed.

The day after the plan was finalized, the Haoli Engineering Team arrived at the farm to begin construction. It is estimated that it will take half a month to rebuild the fence of the entire farm.

The crops on the farm thrive every day under the nourishment of green grass and sunny days. Nemo and Papa come to the farm to look for Luo Mu when they don't have classes. Occasionally they also help with some farm work, but Nemo's physical strength is too poor, and he often starts panting within three minutes.

In the middle of the class, Luo Mu went to Orange Academy to teach the second class of the week, and the students' understanding of Pokémon battles continued to deepen.

The psychological disorder of the messenger bird, which was most important for the itinerary in a few days, was gradually improved under the aromatherapy of the flower therapy ring, which was full of energy after the seeds in the flower field were planted.

Although it was still unable to fly, at least the messenger bird could calmly tell of its experience that night, a thunderstorm night with a storm approaching, thunder descending from the top of the sky and a feeling of death.

The messenger bird is now able to calmly recall this painful memory.

Time passed by little by little, and in the blink of an eye, that day came.

Early in the morning, with the help of Pokémon, Luo Mu began to pack the goods that would need to be carried on Dragonite.

The crops and fruit trees were not yet ripe, so the only item he sold at the market in Zhaqin Town was the cotton wool that the white fluffs had accumulated during this period.

Luo Mu roughly weighed the cotton wool and found it was about five kilograms. The current market price of white fluffy cotton wool is six thousand Alliance coins per kilogram. In addition, white fluffy cotton wool is too rare in the Padia region, so the selling price will only be higher.

After collecting the Pokémon he had chosen to take out of the house into the Poké Balls one by one, Luo Mu looked at the somewhat nervous Messenger Bird, patted its head and said to it in a soothing tone: "It's okay, leave everything to me."

This trip has two important purposes. One is to sell the cotton wool produced by the white fluff birds in the market of Ziqin Town to supplement the family income. The other is to take advantage of the 80% probability of rain and 60% probability of thunderstorm in Daguo Lake tomorrow to help the messenger birds overcome their psychological barriers.

As for the secondary purpose, Luo Mu planned to stay in Daguo Lake for a few days to see if there were any suitable Pokémon and kidnap and adopt them home.

He had already placed enough Pokémon food at home, and Luo Mu felt relieved to leave a few main forces behind to watch over the house.

As the Pokémon waved goodbye, Luo Mu rode on the back of Dragonite, and after he was seated firmly, Dragonite flapped its cute little wings and slowly carried him up into the sky.
