Chapter 291: Settling the Twin Birds, Mewtwo and Coconut
As a man-made legendary Pokémon, Mewtwo's connection with nature is not very close, but it can certainly do things that ordinary Pokémon can notice.
Coupled with one of its most trusted abilities, the ability to amplify and strengthen its perception through micro-manipulation of supernatural powers, at least at this moment, Mewtwo's sensitivity to nature is not inferior to that of the legendary Pokémon born in nature.
After a moment, Mewtwo slowly opened his eyes and came to a conclusion in his mind.
At least for now, there is nothing wrong with the three sacred birds, and there is no sign that the balance of nature has been disrupted.
Mewtwo couldn't help but frown deeply. Was it going to waste time staying here and wait until the trigger for the mutation appeared?
As if sensing Mewtwo's irritability, Slowpoke suggested, "Let's go for a walk together. I haven't had breakfast yet. The coconuts grown on the coconut trees on the beach at the edge of the island are delicious. I like them very much."
Mewtwo & Messenger Bird: "."
In the sky that gradually changed from dusk to night, the three bird Pokémon got closer and closer to the farm. When they were close enough, they landed in front of Luo Mu under the leadership of Moltres.
Mimikyu flew into Luo Mu's open arms. While touching its head, Luo Mu looked at Moltres, then at Zapdos and especially Articuno, asking with his eyes what Moltres was doing.
Moltres' telepathy sounded.
[When we went back, in addition to Zapdos, Articuno had also returned to the island for a while, but it was a little reluctant to come, so Mimikyu and I showed a little bit of force, you know, and then invited it to be our guest.]
Luo Mu: “.”
I see. Articuno was probably hit by a mixed doubles attack, even repeatedly, so Articuno is so obedient now.
As for the Zapdos, it had been beaten before, so it naturally didn't dare to act rashly, not to mention that it had already agreed on the terms with Luo Mu.
Maybe it's the special feature of legendary Pokémon, plus they have been together for such a long time, as long as Mimikyu is willing to suppress its innate special abilities, Moltres can barely recognize the existence of Mimikyu.
So Luo Mu was not surprised that Moltres could recognize Mimikyu and could cooperate with it to form a mixed doubles team against Articuno.
Luo Mu looked down at Mimikyuu and asked in a voice as thin as a mosquito's: "How many times?"
Mimikyu quietly poked out a miniature shadow claw from under her "skirt".
Looking at the three sharp claws, Luo Mu widened his eyes.
"three times!?"
However, Mimikyuu smiled shyly and stretched out his second shadow claw.
"Six times!?"
This time Luo Mu almost couldn't hold back his voice. He exclaimed softly and took a few breaths of cold air.
Good guy, good guy!
Luo Mu quietly looked at the Articuno that was holding its head high and looking very cool, and he complained madly in his heart.
Not only Moltres and Mimikyuu are outrageous, but Articuno seems to be very stubborn as well. Zapdos gave a French salute after being hit once, and Moltres was slowly influenced by Luo Mu after being hit once.
Only this Articuno looks like aloof, but its temper seems to be even more stubborn and tough than that of the Flathead Brother.
At this time, Moltres walked over to Luo Mu and stood close to him, as if declaring its sovereignty to Zapdos and Articuno.
Luo Mu did not expose its little thoughts. He just chuckled and looked at Zapdos and Articuno. He looked at the black eyes of Zapdos and the red eyes of Articuno for a moment, then opened his arms and said, "Welcome to my farm. Why don't we have a simple meal first?"
Even Luo Mu would feel a little embarrassed if he started to exploit them both.
It is better to give some candy to Zapdos and Articuno first, so that Luo Mu can use them with peace of mind.
Zapdos nodded. It was also curious about the delicious food in Moltres' mouth.
Although its staple food is still electricity from thunderstorms or human power plants, it is not a big problem to eat some other foods occasionally.
Articuno was a little difficult to deal with. Its cold cry rang out, but unfortunately Luo Mu could not understand what Articuno was saying at all. Thinking that only Moltres could have telepathy, Luo Mu could only listen to the real-time translation from Moltres.
The general meaning of Articuno is that it does not need to eat human food to carry out its activities well, so everything is unnecessary.
"."
Before the silent Luo Mu could say anything more, Moltres looked at Articuno angrily, as if he was about to fight with it.
Mimikyu also took out his shadow claw, which was bigger than Articuno's face, and looked at it coldly.
Articuno's expression became serious, and he looked at the two Pokémon with a war-like attitude.
It can be seen that these two are habitual offenders.
Luo Mu knew that Articuno had been beaten six times for no apparent reason and had been forcibly brought to the farm. It was natural for it to feel resentful.
But even though he knows it, Luo Mu will not blame Moltres and Mimikyu for trying to get closer to Articuno. He doesn't want to be that kind of person, nor does he want to do anything that would be tantamount to betraying Mimikyu and Moltres.
So, we have to let Articuno down a bit.
Although this is wrong, between closeness and distance, he chooses closeness, and he will not harm Articuno besides.
Thinking of this, Luo Mu snapped his fingers, and the Thunder Drum and Monarch Snake slowly appeared nearby.
Under the gloating expression of Zapdos, Articuno, who felt heavy pressure facing the four "burly men", suddenly felt something was wrong.
But before it could do anything, its vision suddenly went dark. It was instantly suppressed and tied up by the monarch snake. It was placed on the back of the thunder drum and walked towards the direction of tonight's dinner.
If someone who doesn't know or a Pokémon sees this, they might think that Articuno is tonight's dinner.
By the time the suppressed Articuno saw the light again, about an hour had passed.
The vine whip that the Monarch Snake used to restrain Articuno quickly withdrew. As the vine whip withdrew, a faint and rich fragrance slowly drifted into the "nostrils" on Articuno's beak, stunning it for a moment.
What is this? It has never smelled anything so delicious.
Articuno inexplicably felt a desire in his heart, but more of it was resistance. He would not.
Before Articuno could finish the process in his mind, a huge force suddenly came from his beak, and his beak was directly pried open by Swampert, leaving him with no ability to resist.
At this time, Luo Mu took a few strings of the finest palm treasures that the Blue Blade Ghost had just roasted, and with the help of Swampert, he force-fed them into Articuno.
Articuno, who was held down by Swampert like a little chick, was unable to struggle at all and could only make silent protests.
But when the spicy and delicious treasure exploded in the frozen bird's beak like a taste bomb, its struggling strength gradually weakened, and its red eyes widened, as if it had been shocked by something.
Seeing Articuno's expression, Swampert raised his eyebrows, got off it directly, and no longer pressed down on Articuno.
As Swampert expected, Articuno stopped struggling and began to savor the taste.
It had no teeth and could not chew, so it could only swallow the treasure in its palm whole. However, the fleeting taste was deeply engraved in Articuno's mind.
Articuno's heart was telling it urgently that it wanted to eat a little more and try the taste of that "first glimpse" again.
But Articuno felt a little embarrassed because of its own pride, and could only stand there, watching its old rival Moltres showing off, even eating Zapdos with its mouth full of grease. Articuno's heart suddenly became unbalanced, but it was unwilling to take the initiative to take this step.
Luo Mu did not miss any of Articuno's expression and psychological changes. He could even grasp the real tsundere, let alone Articuno, the fake tsundere.
It's just a matter of taking advantage of it.
With a slight smile on his lips, Luo Mu took a plate of various barbecues from the busy Cang Yan Ren Gui and Zhi Hui Xing. He didn't know how Zhi Hui Xing dared to use the fan made of its fur and leaves to fan the fire.
"There's still a lot here. If it's not enough, tell me again. There will be some desserts and drinks later."
Coming to Articuno again, Luo Mu showed an impeccable smile, and his slow voice seemed to carry a hint of magic that made people unconsciously want to believe in him.
"Consider this my apology to you. During the short time you stay on the farm, I will do my best to provide you with lots of delicious food."
Articuno was stunned. It didn't expect that this human, who had so many Pokémon that were much more powerful than it, would lower himself to apologize and show goodwill to it.
The steps were in front of him. If he continued to act in a reserved manner, it would be a bit ignorant. Besides, he really wanted to try different flavors of food.
After a few seconds, Articuno accepted Luo Mu's "apology" and "compensation" with a magnanimous look on its face, as if to say, "I forgive your rude behavior." Then, it couldn't wait to start tasting the delicious food.
This is delicious! That is delicious too!
It’s amazing that there is food with such rich flavors, right?
What a hard life it had lived in the past, relying only on absorbing energy and occasionally eating tree fruits to survive?
Really fragrant!
This was the first time Articuno had experienced such rich and dramatic emotional fluctuations since becoming conscious.
After a hearty meal, Luo Mu brought Zapdos and Articuno, who looked very satisfied, to two rows of Pokémon huts. These were the houses he had the engineering team build to house the Pokémon that would join the farm later. Now it was just the right place for Zapdos and Articuno to stay temporarily.
Even if they are used to sleeping anywhere in the wild.
Zapdos ate a lot of food with rich texture and excellent taste today, and was in a very good mood. He was glad that he was very sensible. After that, he would help Luo Mu to generate electricity, and he should be able to return safely.
Articuno's attitude also softened. He looked at Luo Mu, and after they nodded to each other, Articuno went into the cabin to rest.
After settling Zapdos and Articuno, Luo Mu stretched himself, remembering that there were still a bunch of greasy dishes that hadn't been washed, and murmured, "Let's go back and wash the dishes with Mosquito Repellent Frog and the others, and then go to bed early. It's almost twelve o'clock."
Orange Islands, Asia Island.
A day has passed since Mewtwo and the Messenger Bird arrived here and communicated with Slowking.
After King Slowpoke suddenly suggested going for a walk and a meal, they had nothing to do for the time being and just followed King Slowpoke in a daze through the day's life.
Eat coconut for three meals a day, walk around the ancient sites and temples, smell the beautiful flowers in full bloom, take a comfortable nap in the sea of flowers, jump into the sea to dive after waking up, watch the sunset on the cliff in the evening with a head of kelp, and chew fresh kelp.
How to put it, Slowking's Buddhist yet very regular life left Mewtwo and Raptor speechless. It felt like it was just like those reclusive humans, with no desires or requests, just spending every day leisurely and comfortably.
Mewtwo also discussed philosophy with Slowking according to Luomu's instructions, specifically its classic questions.
who am I?
Where am I?
What is the meaning of my existence?
The answer given by Slowking made Mewtwo fall into silence, and the only thing left in his mind was Slowking's "coconut" that seemed like a curse.
That’s right, the answer given by the Slow King is——
Coconuts, coconuts and coconuts.
This even made Mewtwo think that Slowking was teasing it.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Mewtwo figured out another meaning.
Who am I? — Coconut.
For Slow King, coconut is its favorite thing. Perhaps Slow King is telling himself that who he is is not important, what is important is who he likes and wants to be.
Where am I? — Coconut.
Mewtwo remembered that all the coconuts that Slowking gave him today were, without exception, a rare round shape. You know, usually coconuts are oval in shape.
Perhaps King Dai Dai was telling himself that the round coconut was like this planet, and it was living on this beautiful blue planet.
What is the meaning of my existence? — Coconut.
For King Slow, his life is regular and comfortable. As long as he can eat coconuts every day, King Slow will smile from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps King Slowpoke is using coconuts to metaphorically tell himself that he has to find the meaning of his own existence and how he hopes and wants to exist on this planet.
Chaomeng fell into deep thought.
Under the night sky, the messenger bird nearby looked at Slowking who was sleeping soundly and Mewtwo who was sitting on the edge of the cave cosplaying as The Thinker, and his expression changed again and again.
Although this is just its sixth sense, it seems that for King Slowpoke, who was busy eating at that time, its mind was full of coconuts, and no matter what it was asked, the answer would be coconuts.
It's just an ordinary coconut, why is Mewtwo sitting on the edge of the cave in deep thought! ?
What are you thinking about?!
A desire to escape from here suddenly arose in the messenger bird's heart.
Neither Mewtwo nor Slowking look like normal Pokémon. One is weird and the other has a mind full of philosophical questions.
The messenger bird was afraid that if it continued to live with them, it might become strange itself!
Time passed quickly around the soundly sleeping Slowking, the thoughtful Mewtwo, and the uneasy Messenger Bird, and the next day came.
Although Mewtwo didn't figure out its three philosophical questions, it made a decision on another matter.
After sitting still all night, Mewtwo slowly floated up, its long purple tail swaying slowly.
Mewtwo looked at the messenger bird, held out his hand and said, "Give me the slippers."
The Messenger Bird was stunned for a moment. Did Mewtwo decide to summon Luo Mu?
Mewtwo added: "I will use the aura on the slippers to locate you, so that I can use teleportation to teleport directly to your trainer. At this time, maybe I should listen to the advice of the human strongman."
Next to Slowking who was enjoying a baby-like sleep, Mewtwo, who had received the slippers, closed his eyes and his super powers emanated from him. But after a while, he opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Found it."
The next moment, as the faint space waves dissipated, Mewtwo and Mewtwo disappeared into Slowking's cave.
Shortly after King Slow woke up, in the airspace far away from Asia Island, a huge flying boat hidden in the sea of clouds flew towards Asia Island with a clear goal.
In the sea a little distance away from Asia Island, a small boat carrying a boy who had won the top eight in the Quartz Conference and carrying Pikachu on his shoulders and his two companions was heading towards a small island.
The stage has already begun to be set up.
