Chapter 506 Fruit-eating worms are surging in large numbers!
Bad news.
As soon as he heard this word, Luo Mu had a sharp sense of foreboding in his heart.
And this sense of foreboding reached its peak when he looked into Ye Ci's eyes that seemed to be smiling.
This woman wants to exploit me!
Luo Mu's intuition as a former social animal was warning him frantically.
But the current situation is that Luo Mu has already entered this dragon's den and it is a bit difficult to leave.
Ye Ci had an obvious smile on her lips, and her voice sounded slowly.
"According to the report of the Zero Zone Research Institute, Dr. Olin and Dr. Futu's research has made great progress, and the test machine will be started for verification."
"But they are worried that the situation of the Thunder Drum making a fuss like before will happen again, so this time they asked the Alliance for help."
"The content of the request is: "We need a trainer who is strong enough to suppress the Pokémon that was sent from the time machine to the present day", these are the original words of the couple. "
"Considering the power of those paradoxical "monsters", the options are only the Four Heavenly Kings or the Champion, and only they can be competent for this responsibility. "
Ye Ci paused, and his eyes fell on Luo Mu without any cover.
"The Four Heavenly Kings are busy now, and while I am busy with the official business of the Padia Alliance, I also need to find a new Four Heavenly Kings to replace the old gentleman who is about to retire."
"All of a sudden, the only people who are free to carry out the mission are..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Luo Mu felt a headache after interrupting Ye Ci's long string of words that seemed to be going on.
He probably understood the clear logic.
The two doctors should have successfully developed a time machine, or a prototype of a time machine, which was related to what Papa had mentioned to him before, that his parents had made progress in research.
The two doctors were worried that the paradox Pokémon that were transported to the present by the time machine might make a big fuss, and the corresponding catching function might not have been successfully developed yet, so they could only find powerful trainers to suppress these paradox Pokémon by force.
According to Ye Ci's meaning, she almost said "Let you Luo Mu go."
Okay, okay, no wonder she smiled when she said it was bad news So happy!
"No"
Luo Mu was about to refuse, saying that he was not qualified for this job, and it would be better to leave it to the reliable brother Qingmu.
But Ye Ci seemed to have predicted his thoughts and winked at Clavel beside him.
Clavel, who was watching his heart, took out a tray from somewhere, put it on the table, and lifted the red cloth on it.
Three neatly arranged Poké Balls, purple on top and white on the bottom, lay there quietly.
Luo Mu paused.
And Clavel said: "This is the highest-performance Poké Ball purchased by the president from Silver Company in Kanto. It is a "Master Ball" with very few production quantities. It is said that even the legendary Pokémon can be captured."
Luo Mu: "."
Ye Ci took advantage of the victory and said, "Give one to Dr. Olin, one to Dr. Futu, and I will decide on the other one. I will give it to you as a reward for the task. How about it? "
Ye Ci knew that the gimmick of "there is a chance to capture legendary Pokémon" alone was not enough to impress Luo Mu.
For Luo Mu, it's not that he has never captured legendary Pokémon before, so he doesn't need the Master Ball very much.
Of course, it's just that the kind used to capture Pokémon is not very much needed.
Ye Ci stopped talking and just stared at Luo Mu with a smile on his face.
After a while, Luo Mu sighed and said, "Okay, I'll take this task."
Ye Ci's smile widened and he said, "It's a deal."
Luo Mu nodded slightly, as if he remembered something, and emphasized, "Winter is coming soon. There are a lot of things to do on the farm recently. I can only spare three or four days to serve as a bodyguard. "
Ye Ci naturally had no objection.
Being able to hand over the task to Luo Mu, she had already achieved all her goals, and the conditions and everything else were negotiable.
The verbal agreement was reached, and Luo Mu also took the push plate from Clavel's hand, his eyes fell on the Master Ball that seemed to reflect an unusual luster.
Even though Luo Mu hardly used the Master Ball, it didn't stop him from getting one for his collection.
Common Poké Balls on the market are easy to collect, and the more expensive ones can be easily bought with the current farm income.
But Master Balls, which are priced but not sold, are difficult to get. Even if the real Master Balls don't have a 100% capture rate like in the game, it doesn't stop many trainers from pursuing it.
GS Balls are not a big deal for now , in fact, Luo Mu also plans to plant some tangerine trees and make tangerine balls.
And Shali may have the method of making old-style Poké Balls in ancient Sinnoh, that is, the Xicui region.
It would be so cool to collect most of the Poké Balls and display them in the display cabinet.
Besides, Papa has been hinting at Luo Mu's going to the Padia giant pit these days.
While taking the task, I might as well take him down to broaden his horizons and meet his parents who I haven't seen for almost a year.
In the evening.
Luo Mu invited the three returned Nemos, plus the three Mudans, to have a sumptuous meal at the new home on the farm.
By the way, it was also a dinner to welcome the three people who returned from the trip, but it was a bit late.
The three people at the dinner table talked about a lot of interesting things that happened during their travels. Even under the light, Nemo's eyes were still bright. She also said that if she had not traveled, she might not have known so many interesting things and wouldn't have learned as much as she did in the academy. Less experience.
On the way, the Cream Fairy who was making dessert after dinner also found Nemo and borrowed the last Pokémon that Nemo had conquered, which should be the Butterfly that she found for her at home.
Butterfly is a Pokémon with insect and fairy attributes first discovered in the Alola region. Just like Queen Bee and Three Bees, they also have their own unique skills——
Collect nectar and pollen and make special pollen balls.
The pollen balls made by the masters of Butterfly Moe are not only delicious, but also have the effect of relaxing and relieving fatigue, which is a healing technique.
The formula can even be changed to create pollen balls that can be thrown at enemies to cause dizziness and paralysis.
The Cream Fairy called it away, naturally planning to use the pollen balls to make desserts. Luo Mu was looking forward to the finished product.
If it tastes delicious, you can consider bringing back Moefly or Butterfly Moefly next time you go to the Alola region. You can also consider bringing back nectar-gathering insect Pokémon such as Bad Butterfly and Giant Stingy.
Not only the flavor of Three Bees honey, but also the different flavors of honey brewed by other insect Pokémon, Luo Mu also wanted to try them one by one.
After everyone's bellies were full and Peony, who shouted that she had extra stomach for dessert, had fallen to the ground, Luo Mu simply called Pipa outside.
Pipa was wrapped in the blanket that Zhihuorang put on him when he went out. He shivered when he came into contact with the cold night air and looked at Luo Mu in confusion.
What does Brother Luo Mu have to do with me, and why should he tell it outside?
Glancing at Pipa out of the corner of his eye, Luo Mu said, "In a few days, I'm going to go to the Padia Pit and go to the Zero Zone Research Institute."
Pipa stopped trembling slightly, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Luo Mu, with an expression of excitement in his eyes that could be seen by others at a glance.
"What about me?"
Piper asked almost impatiently.
He really wanted to go with her. After all, meeting on video was not as emotional as face-to-face.
"I remember that in addition to the peat blocks, the condition of our agreement is that you must get the badge of the Eighth Avenue Pavilion."
"After you get eight badges and have the ability to protect yourself, as long as you ask, I will take the time to take you down. This is our agreement."
Luo Mu's voice, which seemed to have become even colder due to the cold wind, slowly fell.
The light in Pipa's eyes dimmed.
He was still two badges short of getting it.
It's not that he is not strong enough, it's just that he was lazy a long time ago. Even if he won the badges of the Bagu Town Gym and the Shuangmo Mountain Gym, he still lacked two badges because his travel route did not pass through those two cities. A gym badge.
Pipa's eyes were full of regret now.
At this time.
Two small figures slipped out of the door with a larger crack. Under the light, two long shadows extended far away.
Luo Mu and Pipa, who was in a negative mood, both noticed this and turned to look.
It's a pair of rats.
They each held a cup of steaming milk in their hands, obviously coming to deliver milk.
A pair of rats worked together, one handed the hot milk to Luo Mu, and the other handed it to Pipa. The chimpanzee, who was worried that the two of them would catch a cold, told them to deliver hot milk.
"Zhizhi~"
After completing the task, under the guidance of Zhi Hua orangutan, the pair of mice, who already looked like housekeeping experts, waved to the two of them, turned around and slipped into the new house, which had started to be heated.
It's so cold outside that the two rats can't stand it, and they don't know what kind of performance art the young master and his guests are doing despite turning on the heater.
A pair of rats complained quietly in their hearts.
Piper watched the backs of a pair of rats entering the house, and felt that the pair of rats had a natural closeness to him.
"Hu~hu~"
Holding the cup with anti-scalding treatment, Pipa carefully exhaled against the edge of the cup, trying to cool down the hot milk that would definitely burn her tongue.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a moment.
Luo Mu suddenly said: "Do you know the evolutionary form of a pair of rats?"
Pipa paused and blinked. This was knowledge he had learned, but he couldn't say he didn't know it.
"It's a family of rats, and there's a difference between a family of three and a family of four."
He answered without hesitation.
Speaking of which, this kind of Pokémon is very interesting. It will continue to move in pairs for almost its whole life. The two rats in a pair will stay together forever, and their love is stronger than gold.
After evolution, the family will add one or two rats to form a larger family, support each other, and reunite the family.
Piper was also inexplicably envious of a family of rats.
"Yes, they are a family of rats. They live as a family unit, and people think they are very warm."
"Being separated from your family is undoubtedly a lonely and painful thing, so I will only ask this question once."
Luo Mu nodded slightly, then changed the subject and asked:
"Pipa, do you think you have the ability to protect yourself now and can enter the Padian Pit?"
Pipa's pupils shrank, and he hesitated for a few seconds before responding: "I don't know, but I want to give it a try and see them face to face."
"A very honest answer." Luo Mu smiled and drank a sip of the warm milk that was no longer so hot. "Then get ready. Think carefully about what you want to say to them these few nights. Don't cry when you see them."
"I won't cry!"
I don't know if it was the cold wind, but Papa's face turned red, and even her ears were red, looking angry.
He was about to get angry, but found that Luo Mu had slipped into the house first.
He could only hold the cup and stare at the cold wind for a while. He subconsciously drank the whole cup of milk, felt his body begin to heat up, and whispered: "It's so warm."
Behind the door, Luo Mu smiled but said nothing.
Eleven or twelve-year-old children always put on a melancholy face for whom, isn't it much better now?
After talking with Papa, Luo Mu also found Nimo.
Not for anything else, just to talk about the efforts she needs to make to further break her limits.
With Nemo's current ability to defeat the full-strength Padia gym leader, it can be said that she is very close to the realm of the Four Heavenly Kings.
She became a pure rookie trainer in February this year, and now it is October. It took eight months to grow to this point. Nemo's talent as a trainer is really outrageous.
However, to be honest, Luo Mu is pessimistic about her challenging the Four Heavenly Kings in her current state.
She still needs to settle down.
There are almost no students in Grape Academy who can fight against Nemo who is going all out. The gym leaders are busy with official duties and cannot always serve as sparring partners.
Nemo is a trainer very similar to Xiaozhi.
The more actual combat she experiences, the faster she becomes stronger.
If Nemo wants to go further, she still has to consider the aspect of qualified opponents.
Luo Mu gave Nemo two options.
One is to go to the Galar region, where the gym leaders can be summed up in one sentence, that is, they are full of martial virtues.
The gym leaders of other leagues all prepare for the local league conference with a fixed strength. On the contrary, in the Galar region, the gym leaders will almost always choose whether to use their full strength according to the opponent in each gym competition. After clearing the eight major gyms, there is still a chance to challenge the league elimination match, where the opponent is stronger.
Put pressure on yourself, it is definitely right to go there.
The second choice is the "Battle Frontier" in Kanto or Hoenn.
Although the "Battle Frontier" is not well-known now, with the efforts of Ashida, a large number of powerful trainers have become pioneers.
For example, the pyramid pharaoh Shendai, Shinji's brother Leisi was overturned in front of Shendai.
Challenging the Battle Frontier, Nimo will definitely gain something.
As for the third option, Luo Mu sparring, he didn't mention it at all.
Are you kidding!
If he really agreed, I'm afraid that he would be dragged by Nimo to fight all day long. Who can stand it in the long run?
Regarding the plan given by Luo Mu, Nimo directly rejected the first one without hesitation.
It's not that she doesn't want to go to the Galar region.
It was just that the uncle named Roz was a bit annoying, and he kept trying to drag her to the Galar League.
Nimo didn't want to worry about anything other than the battle.
Thinking about it this way, the answer seemed to be in front of her.
She declared to Luo Mu firmly: "Teacher, I plan to challenge the battle frontier to hone myself!"
"Okay, then you can go to Shinji for details about the battle frontier."
"His brother once challenged the battle frontier, and he must be able to give you advice that will save you a lot of detours."
Luo Mu patted Nimo's shoulder, which was a complete conclusion.
October 24.
The temperature dropped a lot, and the shrill cold wind was like a horn blown before the arrival of winter.
The entire land after the expansion of the farm has been fenced off.
The fruit trees in the new orchard have grown taller, and Luo Mu is already considering eating fruit worms as they are about to bloom under the accelerated growth of the composite green grass field.
Nowadays, the Internet is getting more and more smooth. His colleague who contacted the team leader to collect the ancient gold coins of Padiya has also collected and screened a lot of farms and ranches on the Internet and listed several reliable options.
These are places where small batches of fruit-eating worms are raised and cultivated. There are also several breeding houses among the options. Luo Mu plans to inspect them before going to the Padiya Giant Pit.
It's just that plans can never catch up with changes.
In the morning, Luo Mu and a group of Pokémon moved the picked crops to Sean's truck.
Looking at this domineering "different world starter", Luo Mu teased him: "It seems that Mr. Sean has made a lot of money and has changed to a big truck."
Sean blushed, scratched his head, and said modestly: "Hehe, it's thanks to the trust of you farm and ranch owners in me."
The inferno monkey next to him patted his back fiercely. Sean's voice paused, and then he remembered that he had something to say.
"Winter will come soon, and most crops will be difficult to grow. I've been busy for almost a year. Next, I plan to take a break and use the money I save to travel around the world with my wife and children."
"Like the hot springs in the Hoenn region, soaking in the open air in the cold winter will definitely warm your heart."
"So I will ask other friends to collect the goods on my behalf in a while, and then I'll trouble you, Mr. Luo Mu, to take care of them."
Luo Mu smiled and nodded, "I understand."
"Hehe, then I'll trouble you."
Sean snatched his cap back from Infernape's head, put it back on his head, and smiled innocently.
"The crops purchased from your farm are the most popular, and they are in short supply in other cities and towns. That guy is really cheap."
"But who made me promise my wife and children to go to the "Ranji Falls", one of the "Ten Scenic Spots of Padiya", and visit the nearby large bamboo forest by the way."
"It is said that recently in a fruit tree area in the bamboo forest, there are many wild fruit-eating insects appearing in large numbers, hoarding food for the winter."
"This Pokémon is cute and eats very little. My daughter has wanted to raise one for a long time. This time I'm going to try my luck, maybe I can catch one!"
