Chapter 342: Reserve Fat Energy! With Sandshrew!
"There's no need to grow this thing. When Xiaozhi and the others come back, let Xiaogang use it to make curry rice."
Professor Oak wiped the dirt off the surface of the miracle seed and put it into his pocket with a calm look.
"what?"
Wang Yao was stunned.
It turns out that thing itself is a food ingredient. He thought it could grow some rare fruit.
But think about it, wasn’t Uncle Xin Zhao, who gave him the seeds, a hotel chef when he was young?
As a chef...it seems normal to give ingredients as gifts.
"Miracle seeds are a rare seasoning, and if you crush them and apply them directly to the wound, they can have a good healing effect."
Shizuka stepped forward to explain science to Wang Yao.
"As expected of a top student graduating from nursing school, your knowledge of herbal medicine is also very solid~"
Professor Oak praised Shizuka.
"Doctor, you are praising me too much... This is just the most basic knowledge of herbal medicine."
Shizuka blushed and said modestly.
Her performance in the herbal medicine class was not ideal. She only memorized the most basic herbs and barely passed the test.
"…You might as well not explain."
Wang Yao was speechless.
I'm so sorry, I'm an illiterate trainer who has never been to school.
But come to think of it, he hasn't eaten Xiaogang's cooking for several months.
He must use his skills as the champion of the Quartz Conference to eat a big meal of curry!
……
"You look quite energetic, eh?"
After arranging Squirtle to farm, Wang Yao finally came to his Charmander.
"Hey~"
Each Pokémon has its own unique personality.
The Charmander sent this time has a more playful personality and is curious about all new things.
Just now he was chasing and biting his own flaming tail.
"I will be your trainer from now on, so you must work hard."
Wang Yao put his hands under the armpits of the little dragon and lifted it off the ground.
"Hey?"
The little fire dragon tilted its head and looked at Wang Yao.
Then, it suddenly twisted its body and bit Wang Yao's right palm with a "Ah Woo".
"It's so energetic~"
Wang Yao raised his hand and shook it a few times, but found that he couldn't shake it off.
Then he clenched his palm into a fist, stretched open Charmander's mouth, and then pulled out his right hand which was covered with saliva.
"It seems you like me very much!"
Wang Yao placed his saliva-covered right hand on Charmander's head and rubbed it hard.
"Hey~"
The little fire dragon struggled to turn its head away, but how could it, being so weak, break free from Wang Yao's restraints?
"Does it look like it likes you?"
A few black lines appeared on Dr. Oak's head, and he said with a pulled mouth corner.
"Let me make it clear first. If you don't win Charmander's favor, I won't trust it to you."
Professor Oak emphasized.
"Don't worry, I'm the best at taking care of these young Pokémon!"
Wang Yao chuckled and said confidently.
"Come out-Giant Claw Crab! Ride the Dragon!"
"Go, take Charmander to the lake and introduce it to our warm family."
Wang Yao immediately released the kind old brother and gentle young sister in the team to help the little fire dragon solve its problems.
"Gujiguji~"
The giant crab clamped the little fire dragon onto its back, held it firmly, and swam into the water with it.
"Whoa, whoa..."
After a while, the happy cry of Charmander was heard from behind the reeds.
……
"Eat an apple~"
Wang Yao stuffed a bright red apple into Pikachu's hand.
"Pickup?"
Pikachu looked at the human in front of him with some caution.
"呣~"
Fortunately, with the comfort of the mother Marmoset, Pikachu realized that Wang Yao was a good person who could be trusted.
"Pikapi!"
Pikachu happily picked up the apple and took a bite.
Crispy, juicy and delicious.
"Skin~"
Pikachu jumped into the mother Dinobot's pouch holding an apple.
"Huh?"
A tiny head popped out of the pouch.
This is a genuine small marsupial dragon.
"Pica~"
Pikachu handed the apple to the little pouched dragon, and they took two bites each.
"Professor Oak, you just said that this Pikachu is a little special. What's so special about it?"
Wang Yao asked casually.
"Isn't it obvious? You can find no Pikachu as fat as this one."
“Maybe it’s a special regional form! Just like the Alola region’s Rattata…”
Professor Oak speculated, his hands in his pockets.
The one in the circle
Unfortunately, Pikachu was still busy chewing an apple and didn't hear what Professor Oak said.
Otherwise, I must ask: Doctor, are you polite?
"I think this little thing is pretty cute, chubby."
Wang Yao took advantage of the other party's good mood and raised his hand to touch the short-haired head of this first-generation Pikachu.
"Pica~"
Pikachu shook his ears, but probably because the mother Dinobot was right next to him, he didn't do anything extreme.
"This body type is indeed rare."
Wang Yao also saw a lot of Pikachus in the Pikachu Cultural Center in Shenhui City, but those Pikachus all had waists.
However, he felt that the other party's chubby appearance was purely due to the fact that he had been taken care of by a marsupial mother since birth and had very good food on a daily basis.
Fat is energy, so the more fat, the more energy…
The reason why Pikachu is Pikachu may be that he has dozens more kilograms of hidden (fat) energy than ordinary Pikachu!
Wang Yao thought it was very likely.
Look at this round belly...it has the potential to be a Zapdos!
But after leaving his mother, the Marasaurus, and traveling with Xiaozhi... he was hungry every day and had a full meal, and he became thin in just a few years.
So without the reserve fat energy, Pikachu had no choice but to start "fixing the game".
Wang Yao felt that he had discovered the truth!
"Okay, this one is also recorded."
"Next is... Sandshrew."
Professor Oak is still busy.
He discovered that the Pokémon living in the Thylacine tribe were generally taller and larger than the average size in the Pokédex.
There is nothing strange about this.
After all, Tasaurus has strength beyond that of ordinary Pokémon, and it lives in a group.
Whether it is fighting for food or occupying territory, they can gain the advantage.
As long as there is no major food crisis, the growing period can be smooth.
"I am 0.8 meters tall and weigh 20 kg..."
"Ayao, this sandshrew is almost evolving... why are you still leaving it with the marsupial dragon group?"
After measuring the height and weight of the sandshrew, Dr. Oak frowned and asked Wang Yao.
"Ah? Isn't it only three... er, only four years old?"
Wang Yao had some impression of the mole.
When it was brought back from the wild more than half a year ago, it was in the mother marsupial's pouch. At that time, it was already three years old.
"Four years old? Don't you know that mouse Pokémon grow very fast?"
"Ordinary wild mole rats can already live independently at around one year old."
Dr. Oak was somewhat helpless about Wang Yao's ignorance.
"You should take it away... Without training, it won't be able to stand on its own even if it evolves into a Sandshovel."
Professor Oak explained.
