Chapter 393: Effects of the Gold and Silver Berries Special Pokémon Diseases?
Because the preparations over there were not yet completed, at Lihua's strong request, after Ma'la's injuries were healed by Miss Joy who was stationed at the Quartz Plateau and her physical strength was restored to its full peak, Luo Mu simply had another one-on-one singles match with her.

The Pokémon that appeared this time were still Magma and Dragonite, but the situation was in favor of Luomu and Dragonite from the very beginning.

The reason is very simple.

Before the battle began, Lihua said this to Luo Mu.

"You and Dragonite probably haven't used your full strength yet, please use your full strength to let me know the gap between us."

Therefore, as soon as the battle started, Luo Mu threw out the Taijing Pearl, and under the watchful eyes of Lihua and Damaranch, he made Dragonite Taicrystal.

Facing a Dragonite as powerful as Taijing, Magura, whose weaknesses were difficult to target, had almost no ability to fight back.

However, halfway through the previous battle, Magellar lost his ability to fight due to the terrifying speed of Dragonite and the irresistible storm released by Lugia's teachings.

After the battle, Lihua took back Magna and handed the Poké Ball to Miss Joy who was waiting on the side. She showed a relieved expression to Luo Mu: "It seems that I am still far from it."

Even if the ace Houndoom is replaced, the ending should not change.

"This also means that Ewha King still has plenty of room for improvement."

Luo Mu thought about it and gave an answer that he thought showed high emotional intelligence.

Lihua smiled and asked sincerely.

"Could you tell me what you were using just now?"

"It seems that after using that bead, Dragonite is no longer afraid of frost."

Damaranch, who had put down the flag on the side, also cast a curious look at Luo Mu.

He knew more than Rika. It seemed to be a phenomenon unique to the Padia region. Could it be used in the Kanto region as well through that crystal bead?
Breaking away from Dragonite's oppressive embrace, Luo Mu picked up the Taijing Pearl that had lost its luster and showed it to Lihua and Damaranch.

"This is a Taicrystal Bead. Its function is to collect and release Taicrystal energy. As you can see, it can only help Pokémon to Taicrystalize once. After that, it can only return to the Padiya region to recharge."

"Did you see the diamond on the top of Dragonite's head after it crystallized just now? That's called the Crystal Crown. It has 18 different appearances, representing 18 attributes. After crystallization, the attributes of the Pokémon will temporarily change to the attributes represented by the Crystal Crown."

Lihua, who was listening carefully to Luo Mu's story, frowned slightly, and suddenly understood, and asked: "Then what does the Taijing Crown of Dragonite represent?"

"General department."

Luo Mu directly answered Lihua's question.

Lihua's eyes suddenly widened. In this case, it was clear that in the second battle, Dragonite was able to withstand Magna's avalanche, icicle strike and freezing punch, and was able to counterattack without changing his expression. Even the power of its speed was extremely terrifying.

Damalanchi stroked his white beard and marveled in his heart.

He knew better than anyone how important the strategic role of Taijing, which could temporarily change its properties, could play in a battle between equals.

There are also Galar's Pokémon growing to giant sizes, Kalos and Hoenn's Pokémon evolving again, and the Alola region has expressed its intention to establish a Pokémon League.

It seems that we should not only maintain the relationship between nearby Sinnoh, Unova and other regions, but also find an opportunity to establish more friendly relations with regions such as Padia on the other side of the planet.

Shortly after the second battle ended, Luo Mu obtained a disposable capsule that stored three saplings.

Damalanchi held Luo Mu's hand and gave him careful instructions in a weathered voice.

"These three saplings are the special cranberry sapling, the banana fruit sapling, and the phoenix pear sapling. The capsules are all labeled. When you go back to plant them, you must strictly follow the transplanting method in the manual given to you to ensure the survival rate."

Luo Mu solemnly put away the three capsules, then put away the cultivation manual that Damaranchi gave him, and nodded seriously: "I will cultivate them well."

Damarangi smiled and just raised his hand to pat Luo Mu on the shoulder, but the secretary with excellent eyesight quickly brought a footstool over, and after Damarangi stepped on it, the secretary stepped back.

All the movements were as smooth as flowing water.

Patting Luo Mu on the shoulder, he asked with a smile, "Are you still planning to get a Chrysanthemum Leaf? The breeding house in Quartz Plateau is ready."

Luo Mu naturally thought so.

But after a little thought, he realized that he didn't know how much effort he had put in just to ease the relationship between Serpentier and Moltres. If he had to choose Chikorita, he would definitely choose the one that was closest to him.

When the time comes to return to the farm with Chikorita, Luo Mu suspects that in front of the angry monarch snake, only one of him and Chikorita will be able to survive, so he decided to give up the idea.

Thinking of this, Luo Mu shook his head at Damaranch and told the truth helplessly: "Most Chrysanthemum Leaves are clingy. I'm afraid that they will conflict with some of my Pokémon after I go back, so forget it."

The air in Padia is fresh, and there are many grass-attribute Pokémon on the farm, so it is not necessary to bring Chikorita back.

Hearing this, Damalanchi showed a meaningful expression, and patted Luo Mu's shoulder sympathetically: "Thank you for your hard work."

Sometimes, Pokémon's jealousy can be very scary.

Then Luo Mu chatted with Damarange for a while and agreed that when Damarange came to inspect the Padilla area, he would invite him to visit Luo Mu's farm.

Afterwards, Luo Mu, with Damaranch and Lihua watching him, rode on his recovered Dragonite back to the Padiya area to transplant the three special fruit tree saplings as soon as possible.

In the air, with Victini, who was invisible throughout the whole process and had feasted on the victory wave brought by Luo Mu's second victory over Rika, Luo Mu opened the manual given to him by Damaranch.

Thanks to the protective shield formed by the airflow of Dragonite, which continuously releases flying moves, Luo Mu is not worried about the various troubles under supersonic flight. He can even open the paper manual to read the planting methods of the three types of seedlings.

The first few pages of the manual basically introduce the detailed requirements of the seedling environment, temperature and humidity.

The requirements are quite abnormal, even accurate to several decimal places, which is very rigorous.

Luo Mu thought about it for a moment and decided that even if he couldn't control everything strictly like in the greenhouse under the Quartz Plateau.

But with the help of the Pokémon on the farm, there is no problem staying close to the requirements.

The next step is to hand over to the versatile composite grass field.

If that doesn't work, ask the Bud Crown King to come out and then go to the Alola region to steal the black soil cultivated by Tapu Moo.

The work of transplanting and cultivation was no longer stressful, so Luo Mu began to browse the contents of the last few pages of the manual.

The above details the research on the effects of golden and silver vine berries, golden and silver banana fruits, and golden and silver pear fruits conducted by the research institute funded and controlled by Quartz Plateau.

Compared to the ordinary versions that are usually used as food or as one of the materials for energy blocks, the three kinds of berries in the gold and silver series have new and extremely precious functions.

Silver/Gold Cranberry:
After research, it was found that the regular version of cranberries is the material for making polished and handsome spicy energy cubes. The silver and gold versions grown on the fruit trees are no longer spicy and have a new effect.

Pokémon that eat this kind of fruit for a long time will become more dependent on the researchers/trainers who feed it, and their friendliness will increase significantly. There has even been a case where Eevee evolves into Sol/Moon.

But this is not the addiction of food, but a subtle influence, like "he fed me delicious food again today, and I like him more."

Gold works much better than silver.

PS: Unfortunately, the output of silver and gold berries is too scarce. In the absence of sufficient samples, it is impossible to make a more detailed and scientific judgment.

Silver/gold banana fruit:
Research has shown that compared to the obvious sweetness of ordinary banana fruit, the silver and golden banana fruit tastes milder, has a significantly improved palatability, and like the cranberry fruit mentioned above, has achieved a completely new effect.

A Pokémon that has eaten the silver/gold banana fruit, whether it is excited or angry, happy or sad, will begin to calm down within about ten minutes after eating the silver/gold banana fruit.

Even if a furious Infernape eats the silver/gold banana fruit, the anger will be calmed and eased, giving some infernapes that are in danger of death due to excessive anger a chance to breathe. PS: It may contain some new and unknown calming ingredients. Due to the small number of samples, it is impossible to conduct a systematic ingredient analysis and draw conclusions.

Silver/Golden Phoenix Pear:
Research has shown that the original phoenix fruit tastes sour. The golden/silver phoenix fruit has also evolved in taste, losing the sourness that originally needed to be covered up with a lot of honey, and now highlights the original flavor without being sour.

Effect unknown.

But the luck of Pokémon or researchers who have eaten it seems to have strangely improved. Research requires evidence, so it feels like this cannot be used as evidence.

PS: In the distant Alola region, there is a drink called phoenix juice, which is said to be made from phoenix fruit, three-bee honey and some unique plants in the Alola region. Unfortunately, the sample is too precious and we cannot experience the phoenix juice squeezed from silver/gold phoenix fruit, which must be extremely delicious.

Rather than an authoritative guide, this section of information is more like a researcher's research notes.

Luo Mu maintained a thoughtful expression.

The golden and silver cranberry berries of Go Pikachu and Go Ebri can increase the probability of catching Pokémon, but now they have turned into a way to subtly improve the friendliness of Pokémon.

The effect of the Banana Fruit is similar to that in the game, both of which calm the Pokémon's emotions.

The effect of the golden and silver pear fruit is the most abstract. In the game, it increases the probability of Pokémon dropping items, but now based on the records in the manual, Luo Mu is very skeptical. Could it be that the effect of eating the golden and silver pear fruit will really make you luckier?

As expected of the Pokémon world, even crops have extremely strange effects.

While thinking, Luo Mu turned to the last page of the manual.

Compared with the previous printed fonts, this page directly becomes handwritten.

Luo Mu frowned slightly as he read the scribbled handwriting and tried to understand its meaning.

That should be the researcher's essay.

[Why among dozens of fruit tree varieties, only these three have mutated and produced special effects? Are there any similarities between them?
If we continue to eat the three kinds of golden and silver berries, will some new changes occur?

I really want to study the mystery, but I can't do it because there are not enough samples to supply continuously. 】

Luo Mu: “.”

Why do these lines sound like a mad scientist?

However, the researcher's question did serve as a reminder to Luo Mu.

A single species of honeysuckle fruit has such magical effects. If two or even three species of honeysuckle fruit are combined, will the effects conflict with each other, or compromise with each other, or cooperate and blend with each other to produce new effects?

Luo Mu is not a researcher, so he plans to throw the question to the system.

At his inquiry, the system seemed to crash for a while before finally giving an answer.

[The effects of the three kinds of gold and silver berries complement each other, allowing certain Pokémon to continuously ingest them. After proper cultivation, there is a chance that they will become partner Pokémon through acquired training.]

December 798, year 8 of the alliance calendar.

Padia region, Pingdie town.

A day has passed since Luo Mu left the Quartz Plateau and returned to the farm.

Without the help of Bud Crown King, three saplings were successfully transplanted and survived in the specially designated area for planting honeysuckle fruit trees in the composite green grass field and heavy mud farmland of the Flower Therapy Ring.

There were no classes this morning, and after finishing his farm affairs, Luo Mu came to the Pokémon Center in Pingdie Town as usual to receive medical instruction from Miss Joy.

At this moment, a figure that seemed very familiar to Luo Mu rushed into the Pokémon Center in a panic.

A sister's hair style in the classic Switch color, and it's hard to imagine what kind of perseverance she has to carry a huge Eevee backpack on her back in this hot summer.

The person who came was one of Luo Mu’s students, Mudan.

Mudan rushed into the Pokémon Center holding a very weak Flareon, not caring about the sweat that kept dripping down her pale face, and shouted, "Excuse me, is Miss Joy here!?"

"I'm here!"

Miss Joy, who was teaching Luo Mu to identify herbs, stood up quickly and cast her eyes towards the anxious Mudan. From her expression, she instantly determined that it might be an emergency patient, and shouted towards a room deeper in the Pokémon Center.

"Jelly, prepare the stretcher and the first aid room!"

After saying that, Miss Joy swiftly climbed over the information desk, walked quickly to Mudan, took the Flareon, and placed it steadily on the ground.

Luo Mu also put down his book and rushed over. Looking at the anxious Peony and Flareon, he frowned and asked, "What happened?"

When Mudan saw Luo Mu, she grabbed his hand as if she had seen a savior, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know. After attending the video game exhibition, Flareon suddenly collapsed on the way back to the academy."

At this time, Miss Joy also made a judgment based on experience.

She stroked a part of the body of the unconscious, weak Flareon, her expression somewhat ugly and her voice heavy.

"The preliminary diagnosis is that it should be 'poxitis'."

"Bag inflammation?"

Hearing the name of this unfamiliar disease, Luo Mu and the anxious Mudan looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.

At this time, Jigglypuff also rushed over here pushing a stretcher and a first aid kit.

While performing preliminary treatment, Miss Joy said, "Many fire-attribute Pokémon rely on an organ called the 'Fire Bag' in their bodies to breathe fire. Fire Bag Inflammation is a disease unique to them."

"Most fire-type Pokémon are unlikely to be burned by their own flames, but once this disease occurs, if flames are generated in the flame bag, it will cause double burns inside and outside the body at the same time."

As she spoke, Miss Joy and Chandler worked together to place Flareon steadily and gently on the stretcher, and quickly rushed to the emergency room.

Luo Mu and Mudan followed directly.

Miss Running Joy said, "This disease usually appears on Fire-type Pokémon that have too high Fire-type talents, but have problems with the development of their Flame Bags."

Mudan asked anxiously, "Miss Joy, can the inflammation of the sac be cured?"

Miss Joy glanced at her and sounded somewhat helpless.

"There is currently no good way to relieve the symptoms, and it is very difficult to make the inflamed pocket develop again. The only way to eradicate and stabilize it is to perform surgery to remove the inflamed pocket."

"But this also means that Flareon will no longer be able to use most fire-attribute moves and will not be able to regulate its own body temperature."

Miss Joy's voice exploded in Mudan's ears like thunder. She covered her mouth and her emotions suddenly became unstable.

Now she has no idea why Flareon suddenly fell ill.

Luo Mu standing aside had an unpleasant expression on his face; it was the first time he had heard of this disease.

But if it was a sign, if you think about it carefully, maybe it had existed before.

　The effects of the gold and silver berries have been modified to a certain extent.

　　I'm a little curious and would like to ask, how accepting are you of Pokémon other than Pikachu and Eevee becoming partner Pokémon?
