Chapter 462: I can improve my skills and also get a job. How wonderful!
Gorgeous Contest?
Mikoli?
Luo Mu frowned, and felt something was wrong.
Why did the Gorgeous Contest Association in the Hoenn region, which should be the origin of the Gorgeous Contest, come to Padiya to cooperate with Grape Academy?
And Mikoli was present in person, what was going on?
I had never heard Ye Ci say anything about it.
Since I really couldn't figure it out, I didn't think about it.
Anyway, the recent days that Clavel mentioned probably wouldn't be these few days. The preparations of the academy, the notifications, and the recruitment of participants all took a lot of time.
According to the message he received, Luo Mu felt that even if he was not the first to know, he would be the first to know soon.
"I'll send a message to Ye Ci to ask after I'm done with things."
After muttering to himself, he stretched on the soft bed, rubbed the Roentgen cat that slept with him, and got up and washed up, and began to get ready.
I have to go on a long trip today. Although I won't leave Padia, I won't be away from home for several days. If everything goes well, I should be able to go home at noon the next day.
But various things still need to be prepared.
He also made an appointment with the little blacksmith. He will pick him up to visit the farm in a few days. He is not afraid that the little blacksmith will come alone and leave empty-handed.
Before going out, Luo Mu first looked at the clock in the room.
Seven o'clock in the morning.
At this time, the big milk tank and the mount goat should have finished milking, and Steel Armored Crow will start to deliver them one after another.
There is no need to go there. When the time comes, just take a look at the daily report that Zhihuixing writes every day without fail.
The only two things that Luo Mu cares about are that from today on, there is a small and colorful night owl in the delivery team. It is Xiaozhi's Pokémon.
It seems that the night owl is quite smart, but due to its size, it is afraid that it can't deliver many bottles. How it will perform today is still a mystery.
I hope there will be a surprise.
The second thing he cares about is Xiaozhi's group of Kentaros.
Luo Mu went to the ranch area yesterday to see that the 30 Kentaros were living a very comfortable life in the ranch area.
They were either running wildly together or tasting fresh grass. These Kentaros were not as picky as the big milk can, and only ate the newly grown tender tips.
Except for leaving a small half of the root system to let the grass survive, they were really not picky.
Maybe it was related to the environment in the backyard of the tree. After all, there were quite a lot of Pokémon raised there. Although there was enough food, it was definitely not as much as you wanted to eat. You had to grab it a little.
Under the leadership of this group of energetic Kentaros, the two mount goats and the sprouting deer ran more vigorously, and the big milk cans rolled faster.
It can be predicted that the big milk can, which has the characteristic of "grazing", and entered the farm first, may have a chance to lose a little weight.
But——
"If I raise them together, will they give me a bunch of Pokémon eggs if I'm not careful?"
Luo Mu looked up at the sky and said to himself worriedly.
After Luo Mu finished cleaning up, he returned home and knocked in front of a room.
Even though he was the owner of the house and could open any door he wanted, he still chose to do this.
The reason was simple. Luo Mu knew that his past self in the depths of his memory didn't like others to break into the space that belonged to him temporarily without knocking.
Until he heard the voice of "Come in", he turned the doorknob and entered.
As soon as he entered the door, his eyebrows were raised.
"It seems that last night was very chaotic?"
Luo Mu's eyes fell on Xiaozhi, who was staring at him with two dark circles under his eyes. He didn't say that he was gloating, but said it teasingly.
The whole room was in a mess, and many furniture were destroyed, and there were traces of some impact damage.
It means that there was a Pokémon battle here last night, Luo Mu believed it.
No wonder there seemed to be a noise downstairs before I went to sleep last night. Fortunately, my sleep quality was invincible and I was not disturbed at all.
Xiaozhi, who looked dark, lowered his head with something on his clothes and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Brother Luo Mu, for making your well-decorated room like this."
"I will compensate."
Luo Mu raised his hand to interrupt Xiaozhi's speech.
"Anyway, the new house is about to be built, this is not a big deal."
"Rather than compensating for this, you should think about when you can compensate Xiaoxia for her bicycle, right?"
Xiaozhi: "!!!"
"Brother Luo Mu, how did you know."
Xiaozhi looked guilty, and someone actually knew that he owed Xiaoxia a huge amount of money.
"Don't worry about it."
Luo Mu didn't explain, but smiled slightly, looked him up and down, and then looked at Pikachu who was sleeping soundly beside him, and spoke again.
"Take Pikachu to take a bath first, and then we will talk about Tan Xiaoshi and today's schedule."
After that, Luo Mu turned around and left the room.
Hanako brought a lot of clothes for changing, and Xiaozhi knew where the bathroom was, so he let them wash themselves.
All he had to do now was to tell Zhihuixing to clean up the room, repaint it, and replace some new furniture.
Xiaozhi acted quickly.
As soon as Luo Mu arranged everything, he changed into clothes for changing, and rushed over with Pikachu on his shoulder.
It was the pair of domineering panda-like dark circles under his eyes that made the show look bad.
"Brother Luo Mu!"
Xiaozhi shouted to Luo Mu, then looked outside and asked in a low voice.
"Where's Mr. Tan?"
"Don't worry, I'm staying with Blue Flame Blade. I don't think there's any Pokémon that has more in common than they do, let alone the same species."
Luo Mu patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder, and used his other hand to wipe oil on Pikachu without leaving any trace.
Then, he asked: "Can you tell me now, what happened in your room last night?"
Xiaozhi nodded and explained the matter clearly in a few words.
To summarize simply, Xiaozhi is exactly the same as the plot in the animation, staying with Tan Xiaoshi all night long until it wakes up.
It's a pity that Tan Xiaoshi obviously doesn't trust any human being, and he made a lot of noise all night. In the end, the Blue Flame Blade Ghost who had been paying attention to this place came forward and took Tan Xiaoshi away for the time being.
Tan Xiaoshi reluctantly trusted his own kind, so Luo Mu said that there was a Cang Yan Blade Ghost and told Xiaozhi not to worry about Tan Xiaoshi.
After the communication is completed.
"Brother Luo Mu, how can I get Mr. Tan to be friends with me?"
Xiaozhi looked at Luo Mu with a sad face, wanting to ask his respected senior what to do.
Luo Mu looked at him and thought for a moment.
At this time, Ash should have only encountered one abandoned Pokémon, which is now Charizard and the former Charmander.
At that time, Charmander was abandoned by his trainer and was tricked into staying there and waiting for him.
Even if it rains it's still the same.
However, fire-type Pokémon can easily get sick when exposed to the rain. A sudden heavy rain almost put Charmander in danger. Then Xiaozhi and his team rescued it and took it to the Pokémon Center.
Finally, after experiencing some things, Charmander got rid of his scumbag former trainer and chose to start traveling with Xiaozhi.
Objectively speaking, the solution to the matter is indeed very simple.
On the contrary, Tan Xiaoshi is a bit difficult to deal with.
The other party has obviously been heartbroken by humans, and may be even more wary than the Cang Yan Blade Demon before.
It can only be said that Xiaozhi, who obviously wants to conquer the other party, will have to work hard to influence the other party.
After all, the trainer who abandoned Tan Xiaoshi has been authorized by Luo Mu, and as the assists, the Rockets trio, who knows if they can follow Padiya.
After finishing his thoughts, Luo Mu replied: "This is not something that can be solved in a short while."
"If you believe me, let the Blue Flame Blade Demon enlighten Tan Xiaoyu first. As Pokémon of the same race and have had the same experience, it will be easier for them to accept the other party's persuasion."
"As for today, just go out with me."
"Bring Pokémon that are good at fighting underground, I have a training task for you."
Luo Mu patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder again, with an encouraging smile on his face.
At this time, Xiaozhi had no idea how Luo Mu had arranged for him. As soon as he heard that he could fight and had tasks to train for, he and Pikachu ran out of the house excitedly and gathered their friends.
After a while.
Farm clearing.
"Sit tight!"
Luo Mu reminded Xiao Zhi, who was sitting in front of him, and patted the dragon under him to indicate that it could take off.
"Boooo~"
Following Kuailong's melodious dragon roar, powerful air currents blew up from the ground. Its figure immediately flew high into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“Oh oh oh—!”
“Pika pika—!”
"Ding ding ding——!"
High in the sky, Luo Mu felt his head hurt as he listened to the noisy noises of the three Grandma Liu around him, as if they were entering the Grand View Garden.
It is understandable that Suo Cai Ling experienced the high-altitude and high-speed flight of Kuailong for the first time.
If I remember correctly, both Ash and Pikachu flew around on Lugia's back. Why are they still so excited now?
After a while, they finally became quiet.
With a rosy complexion, Xiaozhi stared at the dragon beneath him, carefully stroking its scaly, yet silky, fleshy back with a look of longing on his face.
"The fast dragon is awesome. It would be great if I could tame one too."
Luo Mu glanced at him and said as if unintentionally: "As long as you have this idea, there will be a day."
"Really? That's great!"
Xiaozhi is obviously a very simple single-celled creature. Since Luo Mu has said so, he believes that he will have a chance to conquer Kuailong in the future.
Xiaozhi looked behind him, wanting to ask Luo Mu some more questions.
At this time.
He suddenly discovered that there was a looming necklace tied to Luo Mu's collar.
Luo Mu's collar kept changing its posture as the wind weakened to the point of being called a breeze.
Xiaozhi took a closer look and found that it turned out to be a feather.
Moreover, this feather looks so familiar!
"Brother Luo Mu, this feather is..."
Pikachu also smelled it from a distance, and suddenly shouted as if he remembered something.
"Pika pika!?"
"It seems Pikachu still remembers it."
Luo Mu smiled and touched Pikachu's head. Hearing its cries of enjoyment, he looked at Xiaozhi again and took out the Silver Feather from his chest.
"You should still remember what happened on Asia Island. The legendary elf Lugia named the God of the Sea, this is a gift it gave me."
Hearing Lugia's name, Xiaozhi immediately remembered it.
He widened his eyes and said with a look of shock: "Is that Lugia's feather? It's so awesome, Brother Luo Mu!"
Luo Mu was very pleased with Xiaozhi's praise.
after all.
Who doesn't like to hear good things?
With Kuailong's flying speed and the fact that the destination was not that far away, Kuailong landed smoothly at its destination about an hour later.
This is a wild place with few human traces. It is surrounded by barren mountains and has many slightly dangerous wild Pokémon. Except for trainers who specialize in exploration, few people visit here.
Luo Mu did not answer Xiaozhi's question of "what are we going to do?", but the excited Suo Cailing above his head led Xiaozhi towards the mountains with a clear goal.
Xiaozhi and Pikachu are also big-hearted, probably because they are used to traveling on mountain roads, and they chattered like two sparrows along the way.
Soon, Luo Mu saw today’s mission location——
In front of a dark and deep cave.
"Brother Luo Mu, that is."
Xiaozhi pointed outside the cave with a look of surprise on his face.
It's not just the bonfire that's cooking food.
There are tents, tables, water bottles and even camping chairs, there are many traces of life, and there are people camping here!
What kind of weirdo would be here?
It seemed that he sensed someone approaching.
There was a rustling sound in the tent, and then, a man wearing an excavation team uniform walked out of it.
Luo Mu greeted him directly: "Captain, we are here!"
good.
The "weirdo" camping in this deep mountain forest is the relics expert who signed a contract with Luo Mu not long ago and is responsible for excavating the ancient gold coins of Padia, codenamed Captain!
"Oh, my dear boss!"
Seeing Luo Mu coming, the leader's eyes lit up and he stepped forward and gave him a warm bear hug.
This is also considered the etiquette of his hometown.
After confirming that Luo Mu accepted his enthusiasm, the leader released his thick arms, looked at Xiaozhi and Pikachu who suddenly became nervous, and asked Luo Mu:
"Well, this kid is what you said, boss, my trainer partner?"
The leader's expression when he looked at Luo Mu gradually became complicated.
He never thought that Luo Mu would be such a person!
He's so young, and yet he's being roped in to work. It's so heart-breaking and unconscionable!
Knowing that the leader had misunderstood, Luo Mu waved his hand and explained directly: "Despite Xiaozhi's young age, he is a trainer who has collected eight badges from Kanto and Johto areas. He will accompany you to excavate this ruins and fight against them. The guard Pokémon and mechanisms inside are more than enough.”
"Oh, is it so powerful?"
The leader looked at Xiaozhi more carefully.
Well, he looks like he's only in his early teens, and that Pikachu, which looks like a wild dog on the roadside, doesn't know its strength, so let's just treat it as a mascot and pet.
At this time, Xiaozhi finally came to his senses. He looked at Luo Mu and asked in a low voice: "So, brother Luo Mu, what is the training task you are talking about?"
Luo Mu smiled slightly and said: "Yes, you will serve as the team's fighting force and accompany the leader into the ancient ruins tomb. There you will meet many Pokémon and mechanisms guarding the ruins and tombs, which can significantly train you. Your reflexes and improved combat capabilities are very good, right?”
It not only exercises my strength, but also gives me a job, how wonderful it is!
Luo Mu couldn't help but admire his own mind.
Every resource is truly used wisely!
