Chapter 598 Xiaozhi: Now that we are in the Pokémon world, Team Rocket can turn into elves and chase
After half a year of cultivation, the pattern of the orchard on the south side of Azure Highlands has become mature.
Fruit trees, grains, herbs, flowers, seeds, honey and other crops have been properly planned and developed together with the local elves for mutual benefit.
Especially after last year's bumper harvest, Zhou You basically no longer uses his own ability to ripen crops, but instead adopts a model of cooperation with elves like most farms in this world.
The ground elves turn over the soil, the poison elves make fertilizers, the water elves monitor the water and soil, the grass elves grow with the crops, and the insect elves artificially pollinate them. Finally, in the season when the crops are mature, they enjoy the delicious food they have put their efforts into.
Humans seem to have done nothing during the entire process, but in fact there are no ordinary humans to mediate, and elves with different populations, attributes, ecology, and habits often cannot easily unite to pursue common interests.
As soon as he arrived at the farm, Zhou You saw the twelve katy dogs sent to the mountain with an ice vulpix running around the orchard.
It is said that in order to protect the safety of the farm, they have to run six or seven times around the orchards, ponds, fields, and gardens every day... which seems unnecessary.
The farms we visited were very close to Tevez’s breeding house that he and Ye Zi visited when they were on Route 5.
At first glance, the elves in the highlands seem to be fishing leisurely, but in fact they are the farm's spies. They will quickly give warnings if they see danger or strangers.
After crossing the cordon set up by trainee police dogs, I went to the apple orchard to say hello to the fruit-gnawing bugs.
The fruit-gnawing insects, which previously could only live in a few apple trees, now own a small forest.
But what is surprising is that their appetite is not large, and even though there are far more apples than the population, they do not grow wantonly.
Fruit-gnawing elves, such as fruit-gnawing worms, will burrow into nearby apples since they are born, feed on the flesh of the apples, grow slowly, and use this to avoid attacks from natural enemies.
The fruit-gnawing bugs at this stage are very weak. In theory, they can only master less than ten moves such as "Dragon Star Cluster", "Grass Slide", "Round", and "Rolling" at most.
But that's only in theory.
As the pulp inside the apples is consumed, they will grow enough to evolve.
Depending on the variety of apples, there are generally three evolutions: Apple-Wrapped Dragon, Fengmi-Dragon, and Honey-Wrapped Bug.
The apple seeds in Highland Farm come from travel boxes. They are a high-quality variety known as the "perfect apple" that can restore full satiety and increase the upper limit by 10 points after being eaten in Rescue Team DX.
What will the fruit-gnawing bugs that eat this apple evolve into?
Is it possible that a completely new type of evolution will emerge that is different from the three known evolutions?
There are now less than three months left before they mature, and it will probably be possible to confirm whether there will be a new evolutionary classification by then.
It's just that no matter what branch the fruit-gnawing worm evolves into, the worm will still be the same worm, and the apple will still be the same apple... This phenomenon is similar to that of a Slowpoke evolving when its tail is bitten, and then degenerating once the giant tongue shell falls off. Can you call it evolution?
Zhou You vaguely felt that something was not quite right.
After bidding farewell to the fruit-gnawing insects, it felt like we were in paradise and at the peak of insect life, and then we came to the cliff connected to Route 48 next to the high ground.
Since livestock farming had not been developed on the farm before, the goats that were brought back often gnawed on the plants on the cliffs as before.
The way he walked freely among the cliffs didn't look like an elf who could barely make it into the space team...
They like to eat the buds on the cliffs that have not been visited by other elves. They also like the petals among the grass, the fallen fruits, or the grass itself.
During times when food is scarce, this strange creature with leaves growing on its back and tail can also obtain nutrients through photosynthesis.
However, in order to avoid accidents to the sheep or damage to local plants, Zhou You urgently ordered a batch of forage for them that had acceptable reviews and was used by many pastures in the Chengdu area, and designated a new planting area.
The mounted goats soon discovered the humans approaching them.
Since leaving the hunting area, I haven't seen a human being for almost a month, and I have almost forgotten the appearance of the humans who left the hunting area with their species.
Fortunately, the memory of working and living together with humans since ancient times makes the sheep feel particularly close to them, and they do not reject the forage in the hands of humans at all.
Or maybe it's just because the grass is so fragrant.
When he reacted again, Zhou You was stunned to find that he was surrounded by a large number of goats.
Being gregarious, they will always stay together closely no matter what they do, regardless of whether the creatures they are with are of the same species or not.
The most incredible thing is that even though I am surrounded by sheep, I can't smell the slightest bit of odor. Instead, I can smell the deep fragrance of vegetation.
"Does it taste good to your appetite?" Zhou You, who was pushed back and forth, had no choice but to ask his thoughts to the flock of sheep surrounding him.
What followed was a burst of shouts.
Seems quite satisfactory?
But in order to keep improving, Zhou You thought that perhaps some crops such as medicinal herbs and tree fruits should be mixed in to supplement nutrition.
And just when he began to think about what should be mixed into the feed as a seasoning, the goats who remembered who the human beings were in front of him became more and more affectionate, and the leader of them, the mount goat, pushed him into his back.
The azure highlands where the elves live in harmony are far more suitable for their survival than the hunting grounds. They are far away from disputes, have endless delicious food, and are rarely disturbed by humans. They have always been grateful to the humans who brought them here.
Zhou You understood and turned over to ride on the goat.
The soft leaves and wool brought an extremely comfortable feeling, and the long horns extending backwards seemed like a perfect grip.
Feeling the excitement of the human holding his horns at the moment, the mount goat led the flock without saying a word and carried him to a certain place along the cliffs on the sea side of Route 47.
While wondering where the mount goats were going to take him, Zhou You, who was riding the goat, was also full of imagination.
According to the average data recorded in the illustration:
Mount goat: 1.7m, 91.0kg
Kentaro: 1.4m, 88.4kg
This elf, which is taller and heavier than Kentaro, can jump lightly and walk briskly between cliffs. It is simply a miracle!
Fortunately, the goat, which can sense the rider's mood through its horns, did not understand the other party's complaints.
Not long after, they carried Zhou You to a lowland.
Zhou You recognized this place. Not far away was the Buried Tower built by the ancient Hoenn people.
However, outside the Buried Tower with the sealed gate, there were two groups of people, one red and one blue, confronting each other nervously...
After a moment of trance, I suddenly remembered that I had to add more chapters. No, Gu Gege, I can't be lazy like this anymore.
