Chapter 526: Dr. Oak, why are you cooking instant noodles again?

Can Pokémon hibernate?

The answer is yes.

It's like the form of Circle Bear before the evolution of Heyue Bear, which is classified as a "hibernating Pokémon".

It is said that in the season when the green land is shrouded in severe cold, the trap bears will wander in the mountains and fields, looking for their favorite tree fruits. If they are hungry and cannot find the source of their favorite honey, various factors will bring His anxiety made him extremely violent.

If they do not accumulate enough fat, they will look for a safe place in order to survive.

Either a cave, or digging a cave yourself, choosing to reduce the time of activity in order to conserve energy, and perform short-term or long-term hibernation.

Logically speaking, there is no need for Heyue Bear to hibernate.

After all, whether it is the permanent forest in Beishang Township or Luo Mu's farm, there are sufficient living resources and there is no chance of going hungry.

The reason why He Yue Bear chooses to hibernate is also very simple——

It's used to it.

During the time he lived in the permanent forest, he was a veritable home bear and would not go out unless necessary.

And during the long cold winter, if it is really bored, it will choose to hibernate to pass the time.

If things go on like this, the habit will be formed. If you don't sleep in winter, Heyue Bear will still be very unaccustomed to it.

Luo Mu did not interfere with He Yue Bear's own living habits and arranged it on the hill behind the farm. He found a place for He Yue Bear to open a cave and hibernate in it.

Because of the snow, even wearing snow boots, it was a lot of effort to walk.

Luo Mu simply dug out a sled cart and the matching ropes from the utility room, and snatched away the wind speed dog that tried to squeeze into the chicken house due to its rough skin and thick flesh, ignoring Oliva's warning whip, and used it as a sled puller. sled dog.

Of course, Luo Mu also knew about being able to ride the Wind Speed ​​Dog directly.

But life always has some inexplicable rituals and fun, right?

After experiencing some dog sledding, Luo Mu came to the cave where He Yue Bear hibernated.

He also specially installed a door curtain to keep warm and windproof. As soon as he entered the cave, the temperature difference between the inside and outside was immediately reflected.

He half untied the scarf around his neck and listened to the thunderous snoring in the cave. Luo Mu raised the corners of his mouth slightly. There was no need to cover up his steps. He walked to the end of the cave normally and directly saw He Yue Xiong sleeping soundly. .

At this time, it was spreading its belly and snoring on all fours.

Beneath it was a simple haystack bed made of hay, and its neck was cushioned by a stone pillow that it made with its sharp claws. On it, you could still vaguely see the drool dripping from the corner of the Heyue Bear's mouth.

This guy really enjoys it.

Luo Mu didn't do any ink, so he stepped forward and patted He Yue Bear's belly, looked into its open eyes, and grinned, "Want to take a quick trip?"

He Yuexiong blinked and tilted his head.

"Huh?"

What did you say?

Kanto region, Zhenxin Town.

A quiet and peaceful town with mottled green shadows.

The gentle breeze swept leisurely across the creek outside the town, causing delicate ripples.

"True newness is the pure white color that symbolizes departure."

This is the words given by the Kanto Alliance to describe Zhenxin Town.

It seems that he rejected Dr. Ohki's proposal and came up with the answer after brainstorming.

Luo Mu didn't know much about the story, but he felt that this town was very strange to him, but also very familiar.

Whether it is the starting point in the original game, the departure of Dream in the animation, or the "Dr. Oak's Treasure" that can often be seen on the TV hanging in the lobby of the Pokémon Center when he is in the Padia region. Kemeng Lecture" program.

It can be said that this town he has never met carries many memories of his past.

Standing on the hillside outside the town, you can easily have a panoramic view of the entire town.

Zhenxin Town is really small. At first glance, there are probably only about twenty residents.

Among them, an unusually conspicuous red building was the main purpose of his trip, the reason why Zhenxin Town’s name was widely known——

Oak Research Institute.

Behind the Damu Research Institute, there is a towering mountain, connecting the rolling hills and plains, and a lake can be vaguely seen.

According to the introduction that Luo Mu saw on the Kanto Alliance's promotional website, those...are probably all the backyards of the Damu Research Institute.

Although he had been mentally prepared for it, when he actually saw it, even Luo Mu couldn't help but feel that it was outrageous.

This area covers an area that is many times that of his farm.

Should I say he is worthy of Dr. Omu?

With a sigh in his heart, Luo Mu was about to move forward when he found a figure not far away running towards him in a hurry.

He was still mumbling things like "I'm late, I'm late", "I was busy painting and forgot about picking up people", "This is Dr. Ohki's important guest" and so on.

Although it hadn't snowed yet in the Kanto area, the weather had turned cooler, but the other party was wearing a green short-sleeved shirt and dark shorts, with a headband on his forehead exposed by a middle-parted hairstyle.

Through this dressing memory, the name of a supporting character who had little presence in the animation emerged in Luo Mu's mind.

Pokémon observer, Xiaojian.

He was the male supporting character who replaced him when Xiaogang left and traveled with Xiaozhi on the Orange Islands. Because of the incident between the Three Divine Birds and Lugia, I had a chance encounter with him.

When Xiao Jian ran to the hillside, he saw Luo Mu standing on top looking at him.

After a pause, his legs moved faster, Xiao Jian suddenly rushed to Luo Mu, panting: "Sorry, I'm late."

"It's okay, Xiaojian, right? I haven't seen him for a while since the Orange Islands. Please take me to visit Dr. Oak."

Luo Mu smiled and said hello to Xiaojian.

On Xiao Jian's side, his wheat-colored face actually turned red a few shades, and he was quite flattered and responded: "No, no, I didn't expect you to still remember me -"

He really didn't expect that Luo Mu would still remember his name during that exchange.

This made Xiaojian, who had always had no sense of existence, a little touched.

"There's no need for the honorific, we can just communicate normally."

Realizing that Xiaojian was about to blurt out the words "Mr. Luo Mu", Luo Mu stopped him one step ahead.

Just kidding, Xiao Jian looks to be sixteen or seventeen years old, maybe less than two years younger than me. It's so boring to speak respectfully.

Call him old for no reason.

Luo Mu really couldn't understand why there were always people who were almost the same age as him, or even a few years older than him, just as students in the college, who kept saying "Mr." and "Mr."

Xiao Jian could only nod his head and said, "Luo Mu, then I will take you to see Dr. Damu."

"good."

Luo Mu nodded slightly and followed Xiaojian towards Zhenxin Town.

In the middle of the journey, he curiously asked whether Xiaozhi was leaving for a new area or staying in Zhenxin Town.

Xiaojian looked embarrassed and gave the answer -

At this time, he was probably still sleeping in.

Luo Mu subconsciously took out his battle-damaged mobile phone and looked at the time.

Exactly eleven o'clock in the morning.

very good.

This guy has returned to his original form, right?

Zhenxin Town is really not big, but within ten minutes we arrived at the Damu Research Institute located at the end of the town.

Xiaojian Shumin opened the door of the research institute and had a clear view of the bright environment inside.

The Damu Research Institute was not like the research institute in Luo Mu's impression. The space surrounded by pale walls was filled with all kinds of instruments, cold vessels, and test tubes.

It is more like the scholarly home of a well-educated old man who has read poetry and books.

Through an open door at the corner of the entrance, you can vaguely see the bookshelves with neatly arranged books, as well as the sofa and coffee table where you can sit down during leisure time.

It can be seen that the owner of the house should be a person who knows how to enjoy life and live healthily.

But is this really the case?

Luo Mugang put on the guest slippers at Xiao Jian's instruction, and a faint aroma came from the innermost room.

Luo Mu tried to smell it, and the smell was——

He looked at Xiao Jian, whose face was darkening next to him, but he still didn't know the answer.

At this time, Dr. Oki, who was in the research room that he often appeared in at the end of cartoons, was staring furtively at the instant noodle bowl in front of him that he had carefully covered, showing a smile of success.

"Hehe, it's enough to make a bowl of instant noodles while Xiao Jian goes to pick up Luo Mu!"

Dr. Oak sighed at his sudden idea. From this look, he is still a treasure trove.

Xiao Jian was bribed by his eldest grandson, so what could he do if he kept an eye on him all day long? He might have found a loophole to take advantage of him!

Dr. Ohmu rubbed his hands together with excitement on his face, and carefully opened the lid of the instant noodle bowl.

His movements and expressions made him look like the groom who was about to take off the bride's red hijab on their wedding night.

Dr. Oki couldn't help but hum when he thought of the aroma that burst out after opening the lid of the instant noodle bowl.

Bang——!

But just when Dr. Ohki was about to open the lid of the instant noodle bowl, the loud sound of the door opening completely interrupted his movements.

He looked behind him slightly stiffly.

Sure enough.

It was Xiao Jian, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and Luo Mu, who was gloating about his misfortune and helped Xiao Jian take the evidence photos sent to Xiao Mao.

"Hey! I can explain it!"

Dr. Ohki's screams could be clearly heard even in the corner of the backyard of the institute, where Bulbasaur, who was completely impatient and was whipping Heracross with a vine whip as he tried to suck his own seed, could be heard clearly.

The end result was naturally that Dr. Omu looked at the instant noodles that had completely become a ball because he had forgotten the time due to his hurried explanation. He thought that he just wanted to eat instant noodles, what was wrong with him.

"So, doctors have told you not to eat foods high in oil and salt, and you must take care of yourself."

"As a result, every time there is no one around, I secretly cook instant noodles, or seafood. Is that something you can eat at your age now?"

Xiao Jian, who usually admired Dr. Omu, was unimaginably determined in this matter. Even Dr. Omu was overwhelmed by the aura he exuded at this time and could not hold his head up.

I can only nod like a child who has made a mistake, yes, yes, I understand.

The only thing is that I won’t do it next time.

It seems that he knows he is wrong, but he will dare to do it next time.

After this episode, Dr. Ohki entertained Luo Mu in the reception room, and mentioned that when he heard that he was coming over, Hanako volunteered to prepare a sumptuous meal for Luo Mu to express his gratitude.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see how obviously Xiaozhi has changed after more than ten days of special training in Padya.

At that time, in order to celebrate Xiaozhi's victory in the Silver Tournament, there was a lively celebration in Zhenxin Town.

Luo Mu naturally had no objection to this.

He was quite curious about the taste of Hanako's food that was praised by Ash and his friends in the anime.

Perhaps he knew that Luo Mu was right in front of him and couldn't run away.

Dr. Omu was not in a hurry to get down to business, but took Luo Mu to taste his treasured tea for a while, chatted for a few words, and then took Luo Mu and Xiao Jian to Xiaozhi's home.

From the outside, Xiaozhi's home is a standard single-family building, with many beautiful flowers and plants planted in the yard.

Overall, there is a warm atmosphere from the inside out.

A magic wall doll was cleaning the doorway with a broom. When he saw them coming, he raised his hand to say hello.

"Bali!"

The magic wall doll was very enthusiastic. He put down what he was doing and pretended to lead the three people in.

"Hello, Magic Wall Doll."

Dr. Omu smiled and waved to the Magic Wall Doll, then turned around and motioned for Luo Mu and Xiaojian to follow.

There was no need to change into guest slippers at Xiaozhi's house, so they walked straight in and bumped into Xiaozhi who had climbed up in a panic in his pajamas, with his hair sticking up randomly.

Dr. Omu \u0026 Xiaojian: "."

Luo Mu: (￢_￢)

The Demon Wall Doll, on the other hand, was carrying everyone on its back, showing a smile that showed success.

Originally, Xiaozhi didn't panic when he saw Dr. Oak and Xiaojian.

One had seen his dark history of being late to receive the starter Pokémon, and the other was a former traveling companion and knew most of his habits.

But things are different here with Luo Mu.

The moment he saw him, Xiaozhi's whole body became stiff.

not good!

I accidentally started slacking off as soon as I got home!

You know, when he was staying at Luo Mu's farm, he had to rely on Pikachu's 100,000 volts to get up on time every day.

This time I was knocked up while sleeping in.

In fact, Xiaozhi was overthinking this matter. Luo Mu was not his father, so he didn't bother to care whether he slept in or not. After all, Luo Mu himself occasionally slept in.

On the contrary, Hanako, with her long hair draped over her shoulders and wearing an apron, walked out of the fragrant kitchen and said helplessly: "No matter how I call you, you can't wake up. The guests are all here, why don't you go and clean up?" Own?"

Xiaozhi glanced at Luo Mu quietly, and after confirming that he didn't show any unpleasant expression, he softly said "hmm" and slipped into the bathroom like a quail.

Hanako smiled helplessly and said to the three of them: "Everyone, please sit down quickly, the food will be ready soon."

"Then I'll trouble you, Hanako."

Dr. Ohmu nodded lightly and led the two of them to the living room in a familiar manner.

He and Hanako are good friends who have been together for many years. They are occasionally treated as guests, so they are quite familiar with the environment here.
