Chapter 229: The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road
"Well, the Salt Stone Treasure, the Lamb Mount, and the Big Milk Can clan?"

Seeing Luo Mu, who was more confident than the last time he came, Elimos raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Luo Mu's farm was developing well. Now he even had extra funds to expand the team and had even set his sights on Milk Tank.

When talking about ranches, we can never avoid topics related to big milk tanks.

Miltank is the signature Pokémon of the Johto region that is famous all over the world. The Moo Moo Milk it produces is known as the most nutritious dream drink that is suitable for people of all ages, from young to old. No matter the elderly, the sick, children, or office workers, everyone can get the nutrients they need from it.

Precisely because they are so famous, and because many families would rather keep the milk cans for their own production than sell or exchange them, compared to farms and ranches that anyone can open, milk cans have always been in short supply, so the price is naturally a little higher.

It costs 50,000 Alliance Coins to purchase a Miltank through normal channels, but Pokémon like Mount Lamb and Saltrock that also have special by-products only cost 20,000 and 15,000 Alliance Coins.

In fact, the effects and value of both clean salt and grass goat milk are only slightly inferior to moo cow's milk.

Even though such a large can of Moo Moo Milk is still popular among the public, Elimos believes that if he were a customer and had several such choices in front of him, he would probably choose Moo Moo Milk, which has been tested by time and the market.

"Saltstone and the lamb have both had good babies in the ranch. As for the big milk tank, it's a pity that you came a little late. The big milk tanks were all sold out some time ago, and I haven't had time to go to the city area to choose a suitable big milk tank."

Elimos spread his hands with a helpless look. Even he didn't expect Luo Mu's farm to develop so fast that he had spare money to buy a big milk tank.

"what?"

Luo Mu's expression changed slightly. How could such a coincidence happen?

How come the big milk tank disappeared just when he was planning to buy one to raise at the ranch?
"Then there's nothing we can do. You should take us to see the existing Pokémon first."

Luo Mu sighed and looked at Elimos helplessly. Elimos smiled apologetically, stood up and led the way.

Ever since Luo Mu agreed to help her choose Kentaro, Nimo has been listening quietly to the conversation between Luo Mu and Elimos.

Seeing that Luo Mu looked regretful because he heard that he couldn't buy the big milk tank, Nimo rolled her eyes, quietly took out a mobile phone produced at home, which was said to be a global limited edition, edited a message and sent it to the housekeeper.

After doing all this, Nimo heard Luo Mu's voice reminding her to keep up. She quickly responded, put the phone back in her pocket, and quickly followed the two of them.

Inside Eli Ranch, in an area specially designated for energetic Pokémon to move around, a group of Padya Kentaro with gray fur and black mane around their necks were running at high speed, and the ground was shaking as if there was an earthquake.

If they stood a little closer, some people might not even be able to stand steadily due to the running of these angry bulls.

Some Kentaro stop when they are tired of running, and use their horns, which are slightly different in appearance, to wrestle with each other. This is their alternative way of resting.

"Oh my! Everyone is full of energy and enthusiasm!"

Nemo was more excited and thrilled than anyone else, as if every Kentaro was pleasing to her and had a destiny with her.

"That's natural. I never restrict them from running except at night. Even the areas are specially isolated to avoid affecting other Pokémon. The Kentaro raised in this way are naturally full of energy and have strong muscles!"

Elimos patted his chest with a proud expression.

Then, Elimos seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Oh, I haven't asked you this question yet. These guys are full of energy and can run all day long. Because of this habit, if Kentaro is not allowed to run to his heart's content, he will likely have many problems, such as depression, mania, disobedience, etc."

"Do you have enough space at home, or is there a large park nearby where Kentaro can run?"

Elimos felt that although he was engaged in the business of selling Pokémon, he still had to be responsible for every Pokémon purchased, and at least he had to make sure that the other party could provide a good environment for the Pokémon.

"Space? Park? I don't have any of that, but my house is by the sea, so I have a large private beach, about one or two kilometers long. That should be enough for Kentaro to run, right?"

Nimo looked at Elimos hesitantly, not sure whether he could accept her conditions.

Elimos & Luo Mu: "."

I'm tired of saying the three words "rich dog owner"!
Elimos's mouth twitched, and he nodded helplessly, "It must be enough. Maybe if you let Kentaro run back and forth for a whole day, it will break its legs."

After getting Elimos's affirmation, Neemo nodded excitedly, and looked at Luo Mu with a pleading look. If she was allowed to choose by herself, she would have to pack up all these Kentaro and take them home!
Her intuition told her that Luo Munimo was thinking about something strange, such as buying all three dozen Padya Kentaro that cost 30,000 Alliance coins and bringing them home.

In order to stop Nemo's dangerous idea, Luo Mu threw the Poké Ball while Kentaro and others were running back, and Swampert appeared on the runway.

"Nimo, watch out. What you want from a Pokémon like Kentaro is its indomitable spirit. When two enemies meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins. I think the Kentaro that dares to charge at Swampert is the most worthy of being captured."

Under Nimo's admiring gaze, Luo Mu waved his hand calmly and whispered an order: "Earthquake!"

Faced with more than thirty Kentaro troops charging towards him and the sand they raised, Swampert was not afraid at all.

The moment Luo Mu gave the order, Swampert burst out with unparalleled ferocity, his fists pressed against the ground, a khaki energy shock wave suddenly spread out, and the ground began to vibrate wildly!
Many Kentaro lost their balance and fell to the ground due to the shaking ground, but their strong bodies would not be seriously injured from falling, at most they would only suffer some scratches.

Some Kentaro were frightened by the explosive power of Swampert that blocked their path and stopped charging.

This was the result of Swampert holding back; the ground was merely shaking and didn't even crack.

Even so, more than a dozen Kentaro fell behind in the first second, and as time went by, the other Kentaro stopped one after another.

Until the end, the remaining one charged in front of Swampert with a courageous momentum, and used the extraordinarily thick horns on its head to hit Swampert—

Swampert grabbed the horns of the Water Kentaro with one hand, and no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't make any progress.

"What a strong giant swampert."

Elimos murmured a few words, as if he was shocked by Swampert's one-man-a-thousand-strong spirit.

Nemo's reaction was even more intense. She hugged Luo Mu's arm and shouted that Swampert was so handsome. Luo Mu patted Nemo's head and pointed at Kentaro who was suppressed by Swampert: "I think it's pretty good. Do you want to try to capture it?"

Nimo's smile was full of vitality, revealing her white and neat teeth. She nodded heavily and responded: "Yes! I'll try!"

Nemo now has three Pokémon in her team.

There is Bubblebot, her starting Pokémon, which once helped her escape from the kidnappers; there is Turbot, which evolved from the honey-stealing bear cub that she and Luo Mu captured in the Queen Bee's territory; and there is the quasi-god (late bloomer) Pokémon Slimy, which was hatched from the Pokémon eggs she prepared at home.

The battle to conquer Kentaro was naturally led by Nemo's most trusted partner, Babutubo. The fighting skills displayed by Nemo throughout the battle surprised Luo Mu.

In just one month of spring break, Neemo seemed to have been reborn and surpassed herself before the break. Traveling and actual combat are really ways to improve a trainer's strength.

Babu Tubo's Lightning Fist was wielded with great vigor, and even Swampert gave it a very high evaluation. We look forward to Babu Tubo learning the Lightning Double Attack after he grows up.

Nemo's smooth forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and she was panting slightly due to the intense battle.

But Nemo's expression was quite satisfied. She held the Poké Ball containing Kentaro in her hand, and clung to Babutu, snuggling up to each other as if to relieve the pressure.

Luo Mu and Elimos looked at each other and let Nimo stay here to rest for the time being. They planned to move to another area to select salt stone treasures and lamb mounts.

Nemo and Babutu were really tired. Although Kentaro was suppressed by Swampert, it was actually very strong. It might even be the leader of that group of Kentaro - its horns were covered with various scars, which was proof of Kentaro's strength.

If it weren't for Babu Tubo's advantage by relying on attribute restraint, it would not be so easy for them to subdue Kentaro. Now is not the time to show off, they should just have a good rest.

On the way to the living area of ​​the mount lambs, Elimos asked about Luo Mu out of some curiosity.

"Is she also your student? Come to think of it, I still don't know what course you are teaching."

"Huh? Didn't I mention this before? I'm a teacher who teaches combat science. By the way, Mr. Elimos, your name is very similar to a student in my class. His name is Aliqis."

"He is my grandson."

Elimos's calm voice rang in Luo Mu's ears like a thunderclap. After a moment of stunned silence, Luo Mu showed an unexpected smile.

"What a coincidence."

"Yes."

Elimos' voice was equally uneasy. He didn't expect that Luo Mu would be his grandson's teacher, but when he thought of the overwhelming power of the Swampert just now, he felt it was very reasonable and he was very grateful.

With such a powerful trainer as his teacher, Alex will surely be able to step out of his brother's shadow.

The two of them came to the gathering point of the lamb mounts in silence.

Elimos didn't say anything to ask Luo Mu to take good care of his grandson. He knew that Luo Mu would teach him well without him saying much.

Because of the arrival of Luo Mu and Elimos, several lambs that were lying on the grass lazily basking in the sun raised their heads and looked at the newcomers curiously.

Clearing his throat, Elimos said briefly: "I have introduced them to you before, so I will skip it now. You see, they are all good and docile children."

As soon as Elimos finished speaking, the lambs came over very considerately. Some of them rubbed their heads against Luo Mu's thighs to show their closeness, and some bold lambs suddenly took Luo Mu's hanging fingers into their mouths, moving their lips slowly as if they were chewing grass.

Luo Mu stroked the heads of the lambs one by one and said with a smile, "They are indeed good children who are gentle and docile to their parents."

After spending some time with the mount lambs, Luo Mu quickly decided on two mount lambs that were particularly close to him.

Immediately afterwards, Elimos took Luo Mu to the place where the salt and stone treasures lived - the salt house.

The living environment of the salt stone treasures in the wild is simulated here. Small houses are made of rocks to provide them with sufficient sense of security. The rock salt produced by the salt stone treasures is usually piled up in the salt house, which is clean and easy to collect.

After hearing Elimos' introduction, Luo Mu silently thought about the possibility of building a salt house himself after returning.

After opening the salt house, in addition to the clean rock salt piled in the corner, the small Pokémon stacked in layers in the middle of the room with a bit of MC style immediately attracted the attention of the two.

Elimos whispered, "They are salt stone treasures. Aren't they cute when stacked together?"

"I told you about the rock salt over there before I got here. Not only does it taste great, it also has the effect of healing Pokémon's injuries. It's very popular in the outside world."

Luo Mu nodded thoughtfully. How could he not have heard of the name of the Salt Prince? The famous quality Pokémon, who was able to salt countless innocent young men, whose laughter of the Taijing Ghost Salt Stone Giant echoed in their dreams at midnight, keeping them awake all night.

Although his main purpose was to covet the rock salt produced by the Salt Stone Treasures, after the Salt Stone Treasures grew up, he would not mind taking the Salt Stone Giant to teach his students a lesson, so that they would know in advance the dangers of society and adults.

The price of a Salt Stone Treasure is 15,000 Alliance Coins. Luo Mu, who has a sufficient budget, thought for a moment and chose three Salt Stone Treasures that seemed to have good quality in all aspects. After all, his purpose was a little bit impure.

From his observation, these Salt Stone Pokémon are the best among their kind. With a little training, they should be able to fight with the students' Pokémon.

After returning to the main hall, Elimos, who had no idea that his grandson was about to suffer, quoted the final price for Luo Mu: "Two lambs for a total of 40,000 Alliance coins, three salt stone treasures for a total of 45,000 Alliance coins, a total of 85,000 Alliance coins."

“Card, QR code or cash?”

"Swipe your card!"

With money in his pocket, Luo Mu took out his bank card in a particularly cool manner. After handing the card to Elimos, the transaction was completed!
