Chapter 478 The Fire Monkey is dead! ?
10 month 5 day.
The temperature has been dropping almost drastically recently. The heat is gone and the whole Pingdie Town is surrounded by this cool climate.
The phrase "clear and crisp autumn weather" is just right to describe it.
Several nearby farms and ranches have become busy recently. Autumn has arrived and so has the harvest season.
Their farm is not like Luo Mu's farm, which has extraordinary accelerated growth techniques. Generally speaking, they look forward to the harvest in autumn all year round.
After this great harvest, winter will come.
The temperature continues to drop until heavy snow falls from the sky and everything is covered in white.
By then, except for some cold-resistant crops, most of the work on the farm will be in a "hidden" state.
Luo Mu read a lot of historical notes of Padia in the library of Grape Academy. He found that a long time ago, the climate of Padia was quite chaotic due to unknown reasons.
The weather is extremely hot in early spring and continues until the end of autumn, when the temperature drops sharply and the entire area is covered in snow and ice.
Fortunately, in recent years, perhaps because the people of Padya have spontaneously respected nature and improved the environment, the climate has gradually returned to normal.
Maybe in a few years, spring growth from January to March, summer growth from April to June, autumn harvest from July to September, and winter storage from October to December will no longer be theory but will become a reality.
Luo Mu talked about this with King Lei Guan during their casual chat, and King Lei Guan held the same view.
"Do you remember what I told you about the war that broke out in another area near Galar?"
"It is only recently that I have gradually remembered the details."
"It seems that the humans over there have created some pretty terrible weapons, using the vile method of draining the life energy of Pokémon to power the weapons."
"When the weapons were activated, the results were extremely tragic. It's no exaggeration to say that the land was devastated. But there were more far-reaching impacts on the surrounding areas, and climate disturbance may be one of them."
"As long as the human beings today do not attempt to use such forbidden weapons, the day you foresee will come soon."
The Bud Crown smiled and spoke in a casual tone like a friend chatting with him.
Luo Mu put down the cup that was no longer filled with hot water, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
The current world line should be the trajectory of the animation, but the people in the game also exist, which also means that a certain Lion Head in the Kalos region is probably eyeing the ultimate weapon, and may also be carrying out a plan to capture Zygarde.
Not to mention the villains in other regions who are doing fancy things.
All I can say is that human beings are creatures that will not turn back until they hit a wall. With so many people in the world, there will always be some ambitious people.
slam-la-
The sound of flowing liquid interrupted Luo Mu's thoughts. When he looked up, he saw that it was Zhi Huixing who considerately added hot water for him.
Looking at Zhihuixing's face in the mist, Luo Mu suddenly remembered that Zhihuixing said that it had lived in Carlos for quite a long time, and he didn't know whether it had heard any related stories.
From Luo Mu's point of view, the climate was quite pleasant when he went to Carlos last time. Even though it was in the center of the final weapon launch, the climate had slowly recovered over 3000 years?
After pouring the hot water, Zhi Huixing smiled and said, "I still have the electronic files of the related fairy tales on my tablet. Do you want to read them, Master and Lord Rape Crown?"
Before Luo Mu could say anything, Erguiyan stood up suddenly, raised his little hand, and called out "Boni Boni", looking very interested.
In the afternoon, near Thunder Lake.
Xiao Zhi kept moving his hands, but with a bitter face, he kept complaining: "Brother Luo Mu, how long do we have to do this?"
Even if he had endless energy, he would get tired after working on this kind of repetitive mechanical work for a short time.
Not only physically, but mentally as well.
"Come on, change your face."
Luo Mu glanced at Xiaozhi and ignored him. Instead, he patted the wet-fur Kentaro in front of him, reminding it that it was time to turn over.
It's obvious that Xiaozhi has never experienced the torture of working on the twelve-hour death-defying assembly line. In this respect, he is even worse than the three great masters, Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth, who really worked on the assembly line.
"Moo~"
Kentaro, who usually has a hot temper and is full of energy, turned over very obediently at this moment.
Even though Luo Mu's tone and attitude were like he was treating an egg fried in a pan.
The reason is simple: taking a bath is really comfortable.
"Come on, bubble ray."
Seeing that Kentaro turned over obediently, Luo Mu did not rush to brush it with the two hard-bristled brushes in his hand. Instead, he looked behind him and gave orders.
Hear the words.
The Mosquito-Repellent Frog King clapped his hands lightly and, together with his three younger Mosquito-Repellent brothers, sprayed out a foam beam whose power was suppressed to a negligible level, retaining only a powerful cleaning effect.
In the blink of an eye, Kentaro's body was filled with bubbles due to his wild running.
Luo Mu started to brush it skillfully.
For him, this kind of thing is just a daily routine.
Even though most of the Pokémon on the farm clean themselves, there are still some sloppy ones that he always catches and takes them to the bath.
Just like the Windy Hound rolling in the mud, the Windy Hound that crawled into corners and was covered in dust, and the Windy Hound that sneak attacked Frostmilx and Oliva and was covered in cream and olive oil.
After just a few swipes, Kentaro let out a comfortable cry, turned his head to stare at Luo Mu, his eyes full of recognition.
It has to be a young man, this is much more powerful than that old man Damu!
While bathing the Kentaro, Luo Mu turned his head to look at Xiaozhi, who seemed to be completely drained of energy, and said with a smile: "You haven't even finished bathing half of your 30 Kentaro, and you're tired already?"
"Professor Oak has to take care of the Pokémon in the entire backyard."
“That’s why I can’t become a doctor.”
Xiaozhi's eyes drifted and he muttered quietly.
Luo Mu reminded him indifferently: "Talk less and do more. I have washed ten Kentaros, and you haven't finished washing the third one yet."
"Good~"
Xiaozhi responded weakly, looked at Kentaro who was looking at him expectantly, and whispered softly:
"Are you the Kentaro who played in the Victors Cup?"
"Moo~"
Kentaro rubbed his head against Xiaozhi happily, and seemed very happy that the other party recognized him.
Xiaozhi accepted Kentaro's approach with complicated eyes, and suddenly realized that he seemed to not even recognize every Kentaro.
After catching thirty Kentaro in the hunting zone, they were sent back to the Oak Research Institute. They were only called back occasionally for battles, and most of the time, they were raised by Professor Oak. Just like now, he had no idea how difficult and complicated it was to bathe thirty Kentaro.
Even so, the Kentaros were still very happy and excited every time they saw him, and greeted him with their "etiquette".
Xiaozhi suddenly remembered the process of washing Pokémon that Luo Mu mentioned before starting to take a bath. In essence, it is also about interacting with Pokémon and cultivating feelings.
After day after day of accumulation, Pokémon will definitely respond to the trainer's wishes.
"Change your Pokémon more often, don't favor one over another. This way, every time you travel, your overall strength will be improved, and you will be one step closer to your dream."
Luo Mu's intentional or unintentional instructions echoed in his mind, and Xiaozhi thought of his partners who had completed evolution one after another. He began to seriously consider whether to adopt this method when starting the next journey after the Silver Conference.
"Squirtle, Crabgrass, please use the bubble beam, Blue Crocodile, and then use the water gun to rinse Kentaro's body."
Xiaozhi gave instructions to the three water Pokémon behind him one by one, and then he and the impatient Pikachu began to clean Kentaro's body.
Only this time, he was more attentive and no longer complained about the hardship.
Pikachu looked at him curiously, surprise flickering in his eyes.
Xiaozhi used his brain? How strange!
Halfway through, Xiaozhi suddenly said: "Pikachu, after the Silver Conference is over, let's go and pick up Pidgeot."
Pikachu was startled, then nodded happily.
"Pika pika!"
On the side, Luo Mu, who had already washed fifteen Kentras, smiled lightly, left the rest of the work to Xiaozhi, and found another big guy who didn't like to be clean.
After letting Swampert hold the Hummingbird that was trying to escape, Luo Mu unexpectedly took out a large bag of sand in response to its horrified expression.
"What are you thinking about? Just take a sand bath, a shower or something and slowly get used to it."
in the afternoon.
The items Lip mentioned were delivered to the farm.
It was a lot of stuff, so much so that it took a medium-sized box truck to haul it all over.
Most of them are props for training the coordination of the chou chou fish, and there is even a complete set of water equipment -
It's like a water circus.
There are also reference samples that Lip mentioned, as well as some nice fabrics that can be made into accessories to decorate the dolls.
According to the large stack of manuals that Lip gave her, if you want to have the Clownfish participate in a glamour contest and can't attract attention with its appearance, you have to work on other areas.
Such as the coordination of the body, the control, precision, and magnificence of the moves and energy.
More importantly, one of Luo Mu or Chouchou Yu must have the ability to design a refreshing performance.
The combination of moves, the light effects produced by skills, and the setting off of the Pokémon itself are all difficult tasks.
Luo Mu personally knew nothing about the Gorgeous Contest, but he had watched a lot of animations and had a lot of ideas.
There is still a whole week left until the campus glamour competition hosted by Grape College and the Glamour Competition Association.
How much can be achieved depends entirely on the efforts of Luo Mu and Chouchou Yu.
Luo Mu first thoroughly checked the moves mastered by Chouchouyu.
"Jump", "Crash", "Crazy", "Water Wave", "White Mist" and "Mirror Reflection".
Its characteristics are the same as those of the previous Tadpole, and it can swim freely with its speed doubled on rainy days.
It seems that it doesn't match the snowfall of Kyuubi.
I still need to think about it, learn some new moves, and then let the monarch snake teach the ugly fish how to control energy.
If he were to participate in the campus glamour contest, Luo Mu was prepared to send out a lineup of Nine Tails and Chouchou Fish.
To be honest, once this combination is chosen, it is almost obvious to the naked eye that the nine-tailed fox will become the focus in the future, while the ugly fish will become a foil.
This is also what Luo Mu is struggling with.
Fortunately, there is still a week before the competition begins. While maintaining the intensity of special training, he still has time to think about how to construct a performance choreography that can achieve his goals.
Xiaozhi has been living on the farm for some time.
Without Luo Mu's reminder, he can now take the initiative to experience farm life with his Pokémon and enhance their relationships.
Perhaps it was jealousy at work. Seeing Xiaozhi hanging around Tan-sama every day, Bayleaf finally couldn't help it and found Tan-sama and challenged him to a one-on-one duel.
The result was naturally that Bay Leaf, who had more combat experience and had completed the evolution, won. Even though his attributes were unfavorable, the current Tan Shi could not pose much threat to Bay Leaf after all.
Bayleaf was happy, but Xiaozhi was in trouble.
Finally there was some result. At least Tanka won't run away when he sees him. After Bayleaf's commotion, the relationship plummeted to the freezing point. It became that wherever Satoshi is, Tanka will stay away from him.
But Xiaozhi couldn't use the excuse of helping Tanjiro with special training so as to successfully take revenge on Bayleaf to get close to it. After all, his palms and backs are made of flesh and blood, so how could he do that?
Xiaozhi's usual tactics of catching Pokémon didn't make any progress with Tane-chan, and the situation suddenly came to a standstill.
Luo Mu was annoyed that he was sighing like a nagging woman all day long. And since the new map had been drawn, he simply contacted the team leader, packed up Xiaozhi and Tanjiro and threw them to the other side, and sent Dragonite and Azure Blademaster along, just to have some peace and quiet.
As for how much Xiao Zhineng can develop feelings for Tan Xiaoshi in the underground ruins, it depends on himself.
Since he had Azure Blade and Dragonite following him, he was not too worried and focused on training the Ugly Fish on the farm.
Although the equipment of the "water circus" may be suspected of "animal performance", Luo Mu will neither abuse the Chouchou fish nor whip it. In addition, the Chouchou fish itself has a very good motivation, and after training for a period of time, the results are quite good.
Three days later, time passed quickly and it was October 10th.
There are four days left until the campus glam competition begins.
Luo Mu, who thought the two should have ended their underground exploration, was shocked by the sudden news.
In the early morning of October 10, Dragonite flapped its wings anxiously and descended on the farm with a strong wind.
Xiaozhi was holding his Infernape, followed by Taneko who seemed to have a guilty look on his face, and he anxiously went to find Luo Mu.
"Brother Luo Mu, please save the Fire Monkey!"
Luo Mu, who was eating breakfast, hurriedly put down the bread, stepped forward to take the Fire Monkey which had no reaction at all. Relying on his basic medical knowledge, he took a look and was immediately stunned.
Fire Monkey, this is——
Out of breath! ?
