Chapter 14 Become too crystalline, Swampert!
Caller: Dr. Olin.
"Huh?"
Luo Mu exclaimed. Dr. Olin called at this time. Has the Taijing Bead been processed?
Luo Mu's slender fingers with clear joints quickly clicked the answer button on the screen. A few faint noises came from the phone's microphone. Luo Mu sighed: "Speaking of which, it's time to change the phone."
Thinking back to when he first traveled through time and came to this world, he knew that he would be beaten if he fell behind. He chose to spend most of his savings and bought this mobile phone in the second-hand market.
It was also because of this mobile phone that he met Roentgen Cat.
"What's wrong with the phone?"
A slightly smiling female voice came from the phone's microphone, and the owner of the voice was none other than Dr. Olin.
Luo Mu, who was about to fall into memories, was awakened by Olin's voice. He blinked, quickly adjusted his state and replied: "The phone is a bit old. I plan to find an opportunity to replace it with a new one."
"That's it." Olin on the other end of the phone used her long legs to control the rocking chair to turn in a circle, and said directly: "The Taijing Bead has been made."
"Oh?" Luo Mu's eyes began to shine. This was really good news. He immediately asked: "Do you need me to go to the Lighthouse Research Institute to get it?"
"No, there is a little delivery boy who volunteered to help" Olin's tone gradually became softer, and there was a deep hidden pride.
"Pipa is here?" Luo Mu's expression was stagnant, and his tone was a little hesitant, but Olin's acquiescence made him speechless, and he said helplessly: "He is just a ten-year-old child. Doctor, you can just let him wear it without any worries." Come to Pingdie Town through the wilderness of South District 1?"
"Why are you worried? That child is already ten years old. Children in other areas would receive the initial Pokémon and become trainers, embarking on a journey full of dreams and adventures." Olin knew what Luo Mu was worried about. , explained: "The Mastiff Godfather also followed Pipa. It is enough to survive the first southern area for novice trainers with its strength."
"Dr. Olin, you are right."
Luo Mu admitted that he was convinced by Olin.
Indeed, because he was seventeen years old when he traveled back in time, he subconsciously forgot one of the most outrageous settings in the Pokémon world.
In this world, children over ten years old can receive initial Pokémon and officially become a new trainer to go on adventures.
Both Pipa and Nemo, who was rescued by him not long ago, have reached this "independent" age.
"Anyway, it's been a while since Pipa set off, and he's probably almost arriving at Pingdie Town. He doesn't know where your farm is, so I can only trouble you to pick him up at the gate of the town"
"Okay, I understand." Luo Mu nodded slightly, and while replying to Dr. Olin, he looked not far away, and saw the Swamp Monster walking towards him.
Olin seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly said: "By the way, if you have any questions after getting the Tai Jing Bead, try to ask me within the next few days."
"About the time after Orange Academy starts, my husband and I will go back to the Padia Crater to conduct research. I'm afraid we won't have time to deal with these things by then."
Luo Mu was silent for a moment and asked: "You and your wife have entered the giant pit to study, what about Paipa?"
Orin replied with a strange expression: "Orange Academy is a boarding school. In order to let Pipa integrate into the environment, we will let him live in the school even if we are at home. Don't look at him like that. In fact, the child is still very independent. Recently, he seems to be even more independent. I started to be interested in cooking.”
"So, Pipa, please take care of me, Teacher Luo Mu, during this time"
"Okay." Luo Mu sighed and replied.
Olin chatted with Luo Mu for a few more words and then hung up the phone. Luo Mu looked at the Swampert who had come to his side and said apologetically: "Let's go, we have to go to the town to pick up someone."
The giant swamp monster nodded, and followed Luo Mu's footsteps as steadily and thickly as the earth.
South 1st District, Lighthouse Institute.
Seeing his wife hang up the phone, Futu, who was dressed in a futuristic style, said to her: "It seems that when the research makes progress, we will have to prepare a special gift to thank this teacher."
Orin stroked the animal tooth necklace on her chest, nodded and said: "Ever since I heard the rumors about bullying among Orange Academy students, I have been a little worried about Pipa. That child has no scheming, facing bullies It’s possible that I chose to remain silent and suffered a loss. Apart from President Yeci, we don’t know anyone well at Orange Academy.”
"Although Clavel has plans to join the Orange Academy, water from afar cannot quench his thirst for nearness."
"Maybe it's my wild intuition. I felt that the new teacher was someone worth entrusting to me, so I asked him to do this shamelessly."
Futu took out the Purple Book he carried with him, stroked the cover and said, "Shameless? You are right. In order to realize the dreams and long-cherished wishes of the two of us, once we enter the giant pit, we may not have enough time to accompany Pipa throughout the year, and I don’t know how many years this will last.”
"On the one hand, I have the dream that I have been dreaming about since I was young, and on the other hand, I have the responsibility as a parent. The reality is really cruel."
Olin stood up, patted Futu on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "However, Teacher Luo Mu's question also goes straight to the core of the problem. We have entered the giant pit to study, what about Pipa?"
"Will the child be sad? Will he be lonely? I am ashamed to say that I have never considered these things before."
Futu hugged Olin and whispered: "Let's work together and try to find the balance between dreams and responsibilities."
"good"
"Wow Is this my uncle's farm?" Pipa's eyes were full of curiosity, and he was dazzled by the nearby scenery.
You just wanted to call me uncle, right?
Luo Mupi smiled and said: "As you can see, most of the place is still a wasteland, and there is still a long way to go before it can be transformed into a qualified farm."
Pipa nodded thoughtfully, squatted down and took out a black crystal ball that looked like an elf ball from the backpack of the Mastiff Godfather, who seemed to be a little hesitant to move due to the presence of the Swamp Monster, and handed it to him with both hands. Luo Mu.
"Brother Luo Mu, this is the Tai Jing Bead that mother asked me to bring you."
Luo Mu took the Taijing Bead, and his first feeling was that it was cold and smooth, as if it was natural without any flaws.
The black crystal shell of Taijingzhu makes it difficult to imagine how dazzling it can shine when used.
After looking at it carefully, Luo Mu couldn't help but marvel at what kind of technology it took to create such a beautiful prop.
Pipa pulled his sleeve and asked, "Brother Luo Mu, can you use it?"
Luo Mu nodded hesitantly. He still remembered the specific method of use, and it was just a matter of whether it had any effect.
Immediately, he looked at the Swamp Monster beside him, and the Swamp Monster also cast his gaze at this moment.
The tacit understanding made both parties understand each other's meaning instantly. Luo Mu raised the corners of his mouth, feeling the heat in his chest that he had not seen for a long time, and shouted: "Be crystallized, giant swamp monster!"
