Chapter 224: Experiments on wanting to kidnap a legend and super evolution (4k)
The addition of new members seemed to have added new vitality to the farm. After the evening dinner to welcome Zhihuixing, time passed quickly and it was the last day of March.
In the past few days, Zhihuixing has been following Luo Mu to learn about various business operations and precautions on the farm. At the same time, it also put forward many insightful suggestions.
The first is the infrastructure issue within the farm.
In fact, the ground of the farm is still the same as its original surface, except that the gravel that might trip people has been cleared away, and the ground is still uneven mud.
Zhi Huixing felt that it was very necessary to build a road that ran through the entire farm. The farm was very large, and if Luo Mu wanted to walk from his home to the farthest pasture area, it would take nearly ten to twenty minutes.
After the road is paved, you can drive your car across it quickly, and when you want to sell the crops, you don’t have to move them outside the farm, which is very convenient.
In addition, there are suggestions on rebuilding the small house, detailed division of Pokémon's job responsibilities, and efficient use of crops.
For example, there are only three Pokémon living in the ranch area now, namely, Budding Deer and Mudhorse. Large tracts of grass are almost wasted. It would be better to collect them for storage or processing. This would not only improve the food for Budding Deer and others, but also save a lot of money.
But these are not things that can be achieved overnight. Not only do they take time, but financial support is also important.
The harvested crops and fruits had been sold, and Bai Pengpeng also entrusted the cotton wool that had accumulated for a month to Terry for disposal.
As of today, the cash flow that can be mobilized at any time is about to exceed 500,000, and the construction of the farm should be ready to enter the next step as Zhihuixing said.
The first choice is to increase the number of ranch members. Now the farming area has a team of grass-type and fairy-type Pokémon led by Serpentier, plus the cooperation of Poliwag and Haxorithid living in the lake area, so there is no need to add new members.
On the contrary, the empty ranch area is in urgent need of adding members, and the target is naturally those Pokémon with rich by-products.
"Yale Yuta~"
Zhi Huixing came to Luo Mu with a piece of paper covered with words.
After taking the paper, Luo Mu lowered his eyes and looked at it with a look of surprise on his face: "Did you write this?"
Zhi Huixing nodded slightly.
Sure enough, Zhihuixing is very powerful.
Looking at the handwriting that was even more beautiful than his own, Luo Mu began to read it word by word.
If he were to simply summarize the contents of the paper, it would be that Zhihuixing listed some Pokémon that could produce their own by-products or whose abilities were very useful to the farm, and let Luo Mu choose.
For example, there are the Salt Stone Giants who can produce expensive healing salt, the Milk Pot and Mount Goat who produce nutritious cow's milk and goat's milk, the Pot that can make delicious juice and effective medicine from fruits or herbs, the Braided Sheep and Meree who can produce wool, the Beedrill and Tribebee who can brew honey, and so on.
The list was so detailed that Luo Mu admired the work efficiency and ability of the Zhihuixing, and even the ecological environment suitable for them was taken into consideration.
After obtaining Zhi Huixing's consent, Luo Mu took out a pen and crossed out the columns for Tri-bees and Beedrills: "There is no need to import Tri-bees. In fact, there is a group of Tri-bees in the woods not far from the farm that I am on good terms with. The queen bee who leads them also promised me that if any female Tri-bees appear, she will give them to me to breed."
Zhi Huixing probably discovered the flower fields and fruit trees where Flower Therapy Huanhuan often stayed when he was observing the farm, so he took the three bees and giant hornets that can make honey into consideration.
After Luo Mu finished speaking, Zhi Huixing nodded thoughtfully. This was indeed something it had not expected.
Zhihuixing made a mental note that maintaining a good relationship with the wild Pokémon around the farm might yield unexpected rewards.
There is still a lot for it to learn. After the construction of the farm is completed, the first thing to consider is whether it is possible to build a place to entertain wild Pokémon.
Luo Mu took up a pen and outlined several key Pokémon, namely the Saltstone Giant clan, the Mount Goat clan or the Miltank clan.
They are all Pokémon that can be purchased locally in Padia. Except for Miltank which is a little more expensive due to its reputation, there is absolutely no problem for Luo Mu to pick a few Pokémon like Mount Goat and Saltrock Djinn that are also distributed in the wild with his current wealth.
Today is the last day of March. Orange Academy will start tomorrow. According to the notice sent by the principal, Luo Mu’s class will be on the next day. It will be a good time to go to Ali Ranch to choose suitable Pokémon.
In the farming area, in front of a small piece of special field that is given special attention.
The front legs of the heavy mud draft horse gently lifted and dropped, and a striking ground energy wave spread out. As the energy waved, the soil flipped upwards slightly, revealing the roots of the plants above, and then slowly closed, leaving only space to make the soil more fluffy.
Immediately afterwards, the Flower Therapy Huanhuan and Bai Pengpeng, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and skillfully used the Green Grass Field moves with a smaller range, richer grass energy, and could provide more nutrition for crops.
After a while, the emerald green light gradually faded, and the branches and leaves of the plant, which had grown taller in more than half a month, showed a vibrant green, full of charm.
These plants are secret seasonings that have a long growth cycle and require huge amounts of energy. During this period, with the diligent care of the Pokémons, their growth has become more and more gratifying.
"Yes, your tillage skills are becoming more and more proficient. Hualiao Huanhuan and Bai Pengpeng, your control over the green grass field has also improved a lot. It seems that this is what is called practice makes perfect."
Luo Mu clapped his hands lightly and looked at the Pokémon with appreciation.
After receiving Luo Mu's praise, the white petals jumped for joy, the flower therapy rings swayed their bodies, and the pleasant fragrance of flowers filled the air. Even the heavy mud horse, which did not show its emotions very much, frowned.
Luo Mu was very pleased to see the performance of the Pokémon. Each of them was growing and becoming better.
At the same time, Luo Mu was somewhat glad that he had decided to go to the Alola region with Kukui before. If he had not gone to Alola, he might not have obtained the green grass field and farming skills taught by Tapu Moo personally, and growing secret seasonings would have been a stretch.
I have to say that Tapu Moo is really awesome as the god of land. It's a pity that it is still guarding the Alola region and can't be brought back home.
However, even though he couldn't take Tapu Moo home, there were still two legendary Pokémon in this world that he might be able to take home.
One is the land cloud in the Unova region. Legend has it that it can absorb the power of wind and thunder, transform it into the purest energy and give it to the soil to make the earth fertile. Its tail can also produce energy that can replenish soil nutrients to allow crops to thrive, so it is called the God of Farmland.
The second is the King of Fertility, the Crown Crown King, who lives in the Crown Snowfields of the Galar region and possesses the power of healing and blessing.
It is said that when it waves its right hand, the flowers bloom and the grass grows green, and when it waves its left hand, the fields become fertile and the crops harvest abundantly. It is simply the top farming Pokémon, and it would be a waste not to pull it over to farm.
Moreover, the Lotus Crown King has a special setting. It seems that it needs to absorb the power of faith to ensure its own strength. The world he is in now should be the world of animation. In Luo Mu's impression, the Lotus Crown King has not appeared. What is its current status is still a question mark.
Maybe, I can go to the Crown Snowfield if I have the chance.
If the Bud Crown has lost its believers and has been forgotten by all of Galar, then let the Bud Crown come to Padia. With her connections, the faith of the King of Plenty will surely take root and grow quickly in the Padia region.
With a lot of thoughts in his mind, Luo Mu came to the deserted land in the farm. Usually, this place is used for Pokémon to practice their moves and hone their combat experience.
The same is true now. Most of the Pokémon in the farm have gathered here, just because Luo Mu said that he wanted to let Swampert show them the gains of this trip to Kalos.
Inside the Pokémon's encirclement, Swampert and Dragonite had been waiting there for a long time. The four main Pokémon, Lycanthrope, Mimikyu, and Bladeblade, stood aside with serious looks.
Apparently they all still remembered Luo Mu's description of the dinner that night.
Luo Mu said that the combat power of Swampert that can undergo mega evolution may surpass that of Roentgen Cat in all aspects.
Not to mention the Roentgen cat, which is the real owner, even the monarch snakes were a little shocked by this.
Moltres, Arcanine and Triceratops stayed with the Hound. Moltres had been very curious since that night about what kind of harvest could allow Swampert to gain power that surpassed that of the Rhino out of thin air.
In the opinion of Moltres, who had personally experienced the power of the Roentgen Cat, the power of the Roentgen Cat might be able to rival that of the noble existence called the God of Fire, which has been passed down from generation to generation in their bloodline information.
With its knowledge, it was impossible to imagine a posture more powerful than the Pyrocat, which made Moltres very interested in today's experiment. Without saying a word, it pulled Arcanine and Houndoom over to watch.
The Pokémon present had different thoughts, the only thing they had in common was the heavy atmosphere that had spread out from nowhere and hung over their heads.
"Hake?" (Dragonite, are you sure it's okay?)
The leading heterochromatic Haxorus looked at Dragonite with worried eyes. Although Dragonite had long become many times stronger than them, in Haxorus's eyes, Dragonite was still that Pokémon egg that needed their care.
"Bowu~" (It's okay, just a little exchange~)
Dragonite patted his chest and told the Hackrons not to worry.
Luo Mu mentioned that after Swampert completes its mega evolution, its strength will be terribly improved. Among Luo Mu's main Pokémon, only Dragonite can rely on the innate strong physique of Dragon-attribute Pokémon to go head-on with Swampert's strength.
The Azure Blade relies on a sharp flaming sword, the Monarch relies on sturdy crazy plants, and Mimikyu's fighting style is even more bizarre, and it is not very good at wrestling with Swampert.
As for the Roentgen Cat, due to the compatibility of their attributes, it is already difficult for the Roentgen Cat to fight against Swampert, let alone after its mega evolution.
Therefore, we have to rely on this all-round Dragonite, which can perform tasks on land, sea and in the air, and can serve as both a flying mount and a sparring partner, to take on this task.
Since Dragonite said so, Hacklonian had no choice but to believe Dragonite.
Just like that, with the different psychological activities of the Pokémon, Luo Mu and Flower Therapy Ring came late. Flower Therapy Ring, White Fluffy and Mudsling mixed into the Pokémon group, while Luo Mu walked to the center of the open space, his eyes fell on Swampert and Dragonite.
The armband worn on Swampert's right arm at this time is inlaid with an item called "Swampert Evolution Stone". The armband was made by a craftsman known to Limone, and it is said that its material can withstand the power of Pokémon without breaking.
The evolution key stone on Luo Mu's side is still just a stone, just like when Fladali first gave it to him. He has not decided what kind of accessory to make it into, but this does not prevent the evolution key stone from playing a role.
The moment Luo Mu took out the Evolution Key Stone, all the Pokémon present held their breath and took a few steps back, their eyes completely focused on Luo Mu and Swampert.
Luo Mu heard that Mega Evolution relies on the bond between Pokémon and Trainer to allow the Evolution Key Stone and the Mega Stone to resonate, and finally gain the power to evolve beyond the limit.
The moment he looked into Swampert's eyes, the memory of his first encounter with Slither gradually emerged in Luo Mu's mind, as did the memory of Swampert when he met Luo Mu.
In fact, many people curiously asked Luo Mu that there were no populations of water-leaping fish in the Padia area, so how did he, a person who had never left Padia, tame the water-leaping fish?
The reasons have actually been on the table for a long time.
Why did Swampert become so angry when he saw the Pop's dolphin being captured?
Because of its extraordinary strength, the Pokémon hunters once noticed it and captured it from its tribe. It then sailed across the ocean to the Padia region and was rescued by Luo Mu who was traveling at the time.
The days when Swampert was caught by the Pokémon hunter were undoubtedly a dark and unpleasant memory for him.
But Luo Mu's arrival was like a ray of light to it, illuminating its desperate world.
At this moment, a vague feeling connected the minds of Luo Mu and Swampert, as if they had become one and their hearts were connected.
Somehow, a feeling of success surged into Luo Mu and Swampert's hearts. After taking a deep breath, under the gaze of the farm Pokémon, Luo Mu clenched the Evolution Keystone in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Swampert, Mega Evolution!"
There is no need for any exaggerated words to whitewash it. Now Luo Mu and Swampert can clearly feel that the chain formed by the ties between them has always connected them to each other.
The moment their fiery heartbeats were completely synchronized, an indescribably dazzling light bloomed from the Evolution Key Stone and the Swampert Evolution Stone, and the brilliant radiance turned into a chain connecting the two resonating stones.
Swampert was covered in colorful light and the light of evolution that was so rich that it was almost white, and his body began to undergo drastic changes.
The eyes of Pokémon such as Roentgen widened. Except for Bladeblade, Magik, and Arcanine, this was the first time they witnessed evolution beyond the limit.
Bathed in the light, Swampert's body began to swell, becoming taller, its muscles bulging wildly to form muscular arms, the orange protrusions turning orange-red, its back bulging high, and the whole Pokémon seemed to contain explosive power.
Just like the volcano under the sea, if you are not careful, the absolute power will wreak havoc.
“Raji—!”
Feeling the unprecedented, endless power throughout his body, Swampert's momentum was at an unprecedented high. He looked up to the sky and let out a long roar as if in joy. His terrifying might turned into a wave that swept around!
I have reached one thousand monthly votes. Thank you all for voting. I had planned to upload one of the three updates tonight, but my luck seems to be a bit bad today. The sudden cold and fever made me dizzy, and I am almost at my limit after typing today's normal update.
