Chapter 171 Before the Caiyou Conference Begins (Practicing at the Research Institute)
In order to participate in the Hoenn League, Heimer and the Pokémon spend several hours every day training at the research institute.
Of course, the Lizard King and the Natural Bird did not participate in the training because they still needed more rest.
After today's training, Heimer specially prepared some refreshments for everyone to replenish their energy.
This also includes the shares for the Lizard King and the Natural Bird. In addition, the Lizard King's injuries have healed a lot and he can now eat by himself.
At this moment, when everyone was happily drinking afternoon tea and eating snacks in the courtyard of the institute, a wailing sound suddenly came from a room next to the institute.
When Heimer heard the sound, he immediately put down the snacks in his hand and went to the room to check.
Chi Haimo: "What's wrong?"
Heimer came into the room and found that the coyote had vomited out all the blue and orange milk it had just drunk.
Xiaohong said to Heimer while holding the coughing coyote.
Hiroshi Kawabata: "I just fed the coyote with a bottle, but he took one bite and spit it all out."
Heimer looked at the various bottles on the table and asked Xiaohong in confusion.
Chi Haimo: "Ah, which bottle is the milk you just fed him?"
Hearing Heimer's question, Xiaohong pointed to one of the blue bottles on the table and spoke softly.
Hiroshi Kawabata: "It's that bottle of blue-orange milk. We've mixed it many times, but the coyote dog never eats it. The last time it ate it, it vomited it out."
Hearing this, Heimer picked up the bottle on the table and carefully looked at the blue and orange milk inside.
Chi Haimo: "Well, by the way, where's the doctor?"
Hiroshi Kawabata: "The doctor left in a hurry after checking the coyote yesterday. Well, Hammer, if you can't help in a while, we may have to go to the Pokémon Center in the nearby town to ask Miss Joy for help."
Chi Haimo: "Well, let me take a look first."
At this time, Heimer asked puzzledly while unscrewing the nipple on the bottle.
Chi Haimo: "By the way, what was that wailing just now?"
Kawabata Hiroshi: “Ah, this…”
The wailing that came from the room just now was actually made by Victor.
The specific reason is that the coyote vomited blue and orange milk onto Victor's favorite idol's peripheral clothes, which are said to have the idol's signature on them.
At this moment, Victor seemed to have lost his soul. He looked at the clothes and cried heart-wrenchingly.
Victor: "Oh my god, why!!!"
Xiaohong, who was standing nearby, spoke gently to Victor while comforting the coyote in his arms.
Hiroshi Kawabata: "It's okay, Victor, I have a way to clean that stain."
Victor: "But! But, the signature..."
Hiro smiled at Victor's concern.
Hiroshi Kawabata: "Don't worry, it can be cleaned while keeping the signature."
Hearing these words, Victor instantly fell at Hiro's feet.
Victor: "Oh!!! Thank you!!! Honghong!!!"
After Victor finished speaking, he rushed over and wanted to give Xiaohong a kiss of gratitude, but Xiaohong immediately held him back with his arm and said.
Kawabata Hiroshi: "That's fine."
Xiaohong asked immediately after Heimer carefully tasted the remaining blue and orange milk in the bottle.
Kawabata Hiroshi: "How is it?"
Heimer pursed his lips, savored the taste for a while, and then spoke softly to Xiaohong.
Chi Haimo: "Well, the blue-orange milk you mixed is too strong for this newborn. The food given to babies must have a very light taste. Well, let me try it."
After some work using the remaining ingredients on the table, Heimer finally made a bottle of blue-tangerine milk at just the right temperature.
Xiaohong took the milk and was about to feed it to the coyote, but the coyote refused to turn its head in Xiaohong's arms.
Chi Haimo: "Let me give it a try."
Kawabata: “Yeah, okay.”
After Heimer carefully took the coyote from Xiaohong, he picked up the blue bottle, confirmed the temperature of the milk in the bottle again, and spoke gently to the coyote.
Chi Haimo: "Coyote~Good boy~Open your mouth~"
After hearing Heimer's gentle voice, the coyote slowly turned its head. After sniffing the nipple on the bottle, it gently bit the nipple and began to suck slowly.
This time the taste seemed just right, and the coyote drank half the bottle in no time.
Seeing this scene, Victor said with admiration.
Victor: "Heimer, that's amazing, but how do you know all this?"
Chi Haimo: "Ah, this was told to me by a breeder named Chang'an."
After the coyote finished eating, it stretched, then turned over in Heimer's arms and fell asleep in a daze.
Victor: "Fell asleep again."
Chi Haimo: "Well, most Pokémon that are born not long ago are like this. They sleep after eating. By the way, Xiaohong, the examination results of the coyote dog..."
Xiaohong shook his head helplessly, then said to Heimer.
Hiroshi Kawabata: "Well, the examination results show that this child was born blind."
Hearing this result, Heimer said with a very complicated expression.
Chi Haimo: "Is that so..."
Heimer looked at the sleeping coyote in his arms, gently wiped the milk from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then whispered to Xiaohong.
Chi Haimo: "It's okay. Technology is so advanced now. There will always be a way in the future."
Kawabata Hiroshi: “Yeah, that’s right.”
