Chapter 322 Secret Seasoning and Pot!

On July 15th, the midsummer has entered its full stage.

The scorching sun has caused many wild Pokémon to choose to hide in the shade, underground or in caves to prevent themselves from losing precious water, changing their schedules and choosing to go out when the sun is about to set but there is still light.

In Luo Mu's farm, except for the fire-attributed Pokémon such as Azure Blade, Windy Dog, Moltres and Victini, most of them also choose to hide in the room during the hottest period of the sun to enjoy the air conditioning that Luo Mu has newly installed for them.

The electric meter connected to the overall circuit of the farm is spinning rapidly. Fortunately, the complete charging of the Zapdos before has allowed the farm to squander enough electricity to survive this midsummer.

Not to mention that Luo Mu occasionally asks Roentgen Cat and Thunder Drum to generate electricity occasionally. Before joining other large electricity users, there is basically no need to worry about electricity consumption.

For example, after Vulpix and Sandsang returned to the farm from the Johto region, they chose to stay in the ice elf hut and ice cellar and never showed up again. At most, they would come out for a stroll after the sun went down. As for the ice house built by Articuno, it had melted and collapsed because of the midsummer.

Recently, Luo Mu also determined the location of the messenger bird through the black ball prop given by Mewtwo.

As a small archipelago, the Orange Islands are not as big as a region. Luo Mu checked the Internet for a while and determined the travel progress of Xiaozhi and his group at this time. After all, the official website of the Orange Islands posted a large banner poster that the Victors Cup will be restarted again, and the challenger is Xiaozhi who has collected four Southern Cross badges.

In a sense, although the size of the Orange Alliance is not even as large as some gyms in big cities, this competition is indeed Xiaozhi's first league victory.

After this competition, they should set off for the Johto region.

In Luo Mu's impression, their trip might have lasted only about two months, and most of that time was probably wasted on getting lost.

The Orange Islands are so small, and the Messenger Bird is not as likely to get lost as Xiaozhi and his group. It is estimated that the Messenger Bird will be able to visit the Orange Islands and go to Johto or Hoenn during this period of time.

Luo Mu is not sure whether the next travel plan of the Messenger Bird is to go to Johto or Hoenn. After all, Mewtwo has cleared the gyms in the Johto area with the Messenger Bird. Maybe it will choose to go directly to Hoenn?

During this period of time, the black ball was activated several times, and the Messenger Bird teleported a lot of objects.

Like very nice glass products, pink fruit, unknown fossils that are not fossil Pokémon, sweet candied grapefruit, a familiar gold coin

Luo Mu had an impression of the glass products. They should be the specialties of Ponkan Island with Crystal Rock Snake. The messenger bird was probably bought with the money he gave it. I don’t know if it found the Crystal Rock Snake. Luo Mu has been thinking about buying a camera for the messenger bird and letting it take pictures to record what it saw during the trip.

Luo Mu didn’t eat the pink fruit himself, nor did he dare to let the Pokémon eat it. If he remembered correctly, this thing would turn the whole body pink after eating. It seemed to be called Pinggan fruit.

Luo Mu planned to save the seeds of these Pinggan fruits and try to plant them on the farm later.

Maybe we can see pink Dragonite, Monarch Snake, Roentgen Cat, and Swampert by then

The candied grapefruit tastes good, and the original grapefruit should be delicious too, but unfortunately the grapefruit has been processed, and the vitality of the seeds is not very strong. I don’t know if it can be planted, so Luo Mu also saved the seeds.

Luo Mu didn’t know much about the brand and performance of the camera. He was thinking about whether to ask Sha Li, who should know this as a photographer. Anyway, Luo Mu also exchanged contact information with her.

Thinking about whether to send a text message or make a call, Luo Mu walked to the chicken house.

In the fence of the chicken house, Oliva controlled the branches and leaves of his body to grow, and the shadows brought by the drooping branches provided coolness for the chickens that had grown a lot.

The wind speed dog lay on the side, sticking out his tongue and looking at the chicks chirping and busy under Oliva. Although it has grown into a majestic appearance, it still has a trace of childhood innocence in its heart. Just such a scene, the wind speed dog can watch it all day without getting tired.

Remembering the purpose of going out, Luo Mu smiled and shouted to Oliva and Windy Dog: "Remember to meet at the watermelon field tonight!"

Oliva, who was becoming more and more kind, nodded gently, thinking about whether to bring some watermelon pulp back to the chicks after the party.

But can the chicks eat watermelon? Luo Mu said that there seemed to be watermelon seeds in the watermelon, and the chicks might like it.

Next to Oliva who was lost in thought, Windy Dog stared at the chicks, and a few drops of crystal water oozed from his mouth.

I don't know if Windy Dog's appearance scared the chickens a little, the chickens who were pecking at the ground carefreely shrank silently in the direction of Oliva, which made Windy Dog a little embarrassed, and he looked at Oliva timidly.

Don't get me wrong, Windy Dog is not planning to attack Oliva's chicks. Although its own defense is pretty good, Windy Dog doesn't want to be attacked by Oliva's bullet-like Great Compassion Olive Oil. That will make the hair on its body sticky with oil, and the sand bath will not work. At that time, Luo Mu will definitely let himself take a bath in the water.

This is the only thing that Windy Dog wants to avoid!

After leaving the chicken house, Luo Mu went straight to the lake area, which is much cooler than other exposed areas in the farm. The reason is that this is the place where the mosquito-repellent frog king practices the rain-seeking move and the "heavy rain" weather after the rain characteristics are combined.

"Heavy rain" is just a weather named by Luo Mu for the convenience of distinction. The weather changes brought by ordinary "rain-seeking" or "rainfall" can be easily covered by the weather moves of other Pokémon, unless the strength of the two sides is too different.

But when Frog King used wet rocks to exercise his control over the weather, he developed "Heavy Rain" which incorporated the two energies of "praying for rain" and "rainfall", forming a stronger and more violent rainy day. To cover such weather, other Pokémon have to consume more energy to cover it.

But Frog King, because of the "rainfall" feature, only consumes the energy of "praying for rain" and part of the energy of starting "rainfall".

This move has just been developed, and there is still a long way to go before it can participate in the battle. Frog King is also constantly improving, and Luo Mu is looking forward to its future performance.

After all, many of his Pokémon are fighting in the rain, including Roentgen, Swampert, Rumble, and Dragonite.

Stepping on the wet land, Luo Mu's eyes turned to Thunder Lake.

At this time, the Pokémon were resting, and three Haxorubes were lazily lying on the shore, basking in the scorching sun with two Dragonites.

That's right. For Luo Mu, the scorching sun that would make him sweat like crazy just by being outside was just right for Dragonite. Is this a dragon-attribute Pokémon?

Smiling, Luo Mu mentioned the lazy Dragonite and the others about the arrangements for tonight. He took a detour to look at the fenced-in fish. They looked much bigger, but they were far from being fat enough to be enjoyed.

Thinking of letting them go, Luo Mu came to the other side of Thunder Lake. The Frog King should have just finished weather training. The air was still humid. Using the rain-seeking move in the scorching weather of midsummer often consumes more energy. If it was a newly evolved Frog King, it might not last long, but it was different now.

At this time, the Frog King took three Frog King brothers to practice boxing under the training of Swampert. After the Frog Kings evolved into Swamperts, they were already very good at boxing. It was natural for them to learn this. The Frog King put aside his status as a "king" to learn boxing in order to exercise his melee ability.

Frog King is very smart, and his smart brain often plans a series of goals for Frog King to become stronger. While honing the strength of weather moves and his own special attacks, Frog King also wants to exercise his melee ability.

Frog King thinks that at least when he encounters a Pokémon that can break his special attack and come to him, he needs to have a certain melee ability to protect himself, just like when Arcanine burned the water it released and charged at him with Volt.

Among Luo Mu's Pokémon, there are many who are good at melee combat, but Frog King thinks that Swampert, who is also a water attribute, is more suitable for him, so he chooses to ask it to teach him the skills of melee combat.

Swampert is also happy to teach, which is also to improve the overall strength of the farm.

Luo Mu's arrival made several sweating Pokémon temporarily stop training and surround him directly.

"For tonight's watermelon banquet, after the training is completed, everyone remember to arrive early. We have to chill the watermelon with cold water first."

After interacting with the enthusiastic Swamperts one by one, Luo Mu finally told them his purpose.

Hearing this, both Swamperts and Frog King showed expectant expressions, their eyes glowed, and they nodded quickly like pounding garlic, indicating that they would keep this matter in mind and watched Luo Mu's back as he left for the next location.

After saying goodbye to Swamperts, Luo Mu came to the farming area again. Although it was still some time before dark, he still had to confirm one thing.

Entering the apple orchard, the mottled shadows of the trees swayed gently with the breeze. Indistinctly, Luo Mu heard the sound of wings flapping. After thinking about it, Luo Mu knew the source of the breeze and walked quickly in one direction.

After passing the trunks of more than a dozen apple trees, at the edge of the apple orchard, Luo Mu saw the figure of a tropical dragon flapping four huge green leaves on its back, carrying three friends to play in the air.

"Duo Ka~~" "Jiu Ji~" "Zi Bo~"

The laughter of the four Pokémon echoed in the apple forest, making Luo Mu smile.

After a period of growth, the little tropical dragon has entered the sub-adult state, approaching the 2-meter height range in the illustrated book. All this is thanks to the monarch snake's daily grasping of its diet and nutritional intake of the fruit worm, and also specially asking Zhihuixing for some knowledge in nutrition to ensure the healthy growth of the tropical dragon and the fruit worm.

As for the fruit worm, its appearance has basically not changed. Except that the apple on its body will be replaced once in a period of time, and the texture, size and shape of the apple will have slight changes, there is almost no significant change in the fruit worm inside.

It seems that the tropical dragon with a keen nose smelled Luo Mu's scent. After it stopped flying, it searched around and soon found Luo Mu's trace, and pounced on Luo Mu with a happy face.

With a plop, Luo Mu was pressed under the little tropical dragon. The weight of at least 200 kilograms made Luo Mu feel like he was hit by a cannonball, and he didn't recover for a long time.

Not to mention, there are Huhu brother and sister behind the tropical dragon, and the weight of their shells is almost close to 40 kilograms

The weight of the fruit worm is harmless, but this "love" is too heavy.

The little tropical dragon still maintains the behavior of his childhood, and tilts his head, looking at Luo Mu under him in confusion, as if wondering why Luo Mu doesn't hold him up like he did when he was a child.

Fortunately, sister Huhu's brain is quick, and she realized that she is a little bit heavier. She pulled her brother and the fruit worm and jumped off the back of the tropical dragon, landing next to Luo Mu, looking at him with a face asking for credit.

Luo Mu: "."

You are a very nice person.

Fortunately, the little tropical dragon got up quickly, otherwise Luo Mu felt that he might be pressed by this rebellious son who pressed his chest and pressed it to the point of insufficient oxygen and fainted.

He touched the little tropical dragon who was eager to act like a spoiled child and gave it enough love and care.

The character of Little Tropical Dragon is completely different from that of Fruitworm. Fruitworm is extremely sociable. Basically, except for the group of Blue Jays and Steeljays that it doesn't like because of instinct, Fruitworm is very enthusiastic to everyone it meets.

Little Tropical Dragon is just like when it was just born, a complete social phobia. It will definitely keep a distance from any strange Pokémon when it first meets them. At the same time, it is a little timid, a bit like Huhu's younger brother.

Obviously, they were both brought up by Monarch Snake, and Monarch Snake itself is full of domineering as a royal Pokémon. I don't know why the character of Fruitworm and Tropical Dragon is two extremes.

Fortunately, the common point between Fruitworm and Tropical Dragon is that they will become clingy after getting familiar with each other, which is very popular with Pokémon on the farm. Even when facing the only younger brother and sister in the farm, the Husky will act like a brother and express his most impressive and reliable side.

By the way, after the reliable Zhihuixing distinguished them, it was concluded that the fruitworm was a boy and the tropical dragon was a girl.

Each Pokémon is like a child with different personalities. Luo Mu is glad that he has the ability to integrate them and provide them with a better environment so that they can exert their abilities.

"Huhu, come here, let me see!"

With the fruitworm on his head and the clingy tropical dragon rubbing against him, Luo Mu squatted down with difficulty and called Huhu siblings to come to him.

When they controlled the tentacles extending from the shell to crawl to Luo Mu, the holes on the red and blue shells had been inserted with corks of the right size.

This also means that they have begun to ferment tree fruit in their bodies.

For the first time, Luo Mu let the two Huhu find their favorite tree fruits for fermentation, and did not put too much effort on the formula.

Now the tree juices that are fermenting or have been fermented in the two Huhu shells are like gifts in a blind box and treasures in a treasure chest for Luo Mu, full of expectations.

Although Luo Mu originally planned to let the red Huhu brother ferment the tree juice and the blue Huhu sister ferment the liquid medicine, considering that the liquid medicine still needs formulas and herbs, he temporarily let them ferment the tree juice at will.

When the liquid medicine is really needed to be fermented, just give their shells a thorough cleaning. With the bubble light of the mosquito coil frog king, the probability of cross-flavor should be minimized.

If it really doesn't work, go to the Johto region or the Alola region and find Suicune or Tapu Finfin to brush a purifying water to purify the remaining smell.

Luo Mu first picked up Huhu brother, and the muscles on his arms that were well-trained for farm work bulged slightly. After pulling out the wooden plug in any hole on the Huhu shell, Luo Mu leaned forward and sniffed it with his nose.

The smell of the fruit that was halfway through fermentation and stuck in the middle rushed into Luo Mu's nostrils.

".Sure enough, three days is a bit tight."

After reinserting the cork into Hu Hu's brother's hole, Luo Mu's frown relaxed slightly because he no longer smelled that smell.

He was not surprised that the fermentation of the fruit juice was not completed.

After all, the cork that was ordered three days ago had just arrived, and the fruit juice in Hu Hu's body had only fermented for three days at most.

However, based on the smell just now, it can be concluded that the fermentation of tree juice only takes about seven to ten days.

In fact, this speed is okay. After all, the weather has been a bit hot recently. Just like the grapes grown in many places in the Padilla region, the fermentation time is about one to two weeks. When the weather is hot, it will even be extended to 20 days to one month, and when it turns cooler, it will even be extended to 40 days.

The decisive factor for fermentation lies in stable and warm climate conditions, so the Huhus will choose to drill into tree holes and rocks to speed up the fermentation of tree juice in the shell.

Putting down Huhu brother, Luo Mu picked up Huhu sister and went through the process again.

Luo Mu's expression was no different from when he checked the fermented tree juice in Huhu brother's body, and it was even synchronized to a terrifying degree, but neither Huhu brother and sister, tropical dragons, and fruit-eating worms, these inexperienced children, could see it.

"Well, it seems that I can't share your fermented tree juice with everyone tonight. I can only make various watermelon-related summer foods according to the original plan."

Luo Mu showed a regretful smile, and Hu Hu's brother and sister were also a little disappointed, but they were comforted by Luo Mu's next words.

"It's okay, next time I will gather the Pokémon on the farm to hold a tree juice appreciation conference with you as the protagonists. There are plenty of opportunities, and the future is also long."

"Zi Bo!"

The eyes of Hu Hu's brother and sister suddenly lit up and smiled happily.

Luo Mu continued to interact with the fruit gnawer and tropical dragon for a while, and by the way observed the green tip that had begun to emerge under the neck of the tropical dragon, and asked it to take in enough nutrition so that it would not be taken away by the growing fruit. Too much nutrients affect its growth and development, and then left the apple forest.

Tropical dragons will not grow fruits that require nutrients in their bodies to grow during the period from hatching to adulthood. Only after the body is fully developed and mature, the tropical dragon clan will consciously supply energy to the fruit under the neck to make it mature.

Luo Mu did not want the tropical dragon to rush to show itself and choose to divide the important nutrients to the fruit during the growth stage.

Fortunately, the tropical dragon was obviously well-behaved. The green tip under its neck was actually a proof of excess nutrition, indicating that Luo Mu and the monarch snake raised it well. The excess nutrition even caused the fruit to have a tip.

It was not until they completely left the apple forest that Luo Mu showed a solemn and thoughtful expression.

He was proficient in keeping things even when he just smelled the tree juice in Sister Hu Hu's shell. He almost couldn't hold back his expression and revealed a flaw. Fortunately, his strong self-control prevented this from happening.

"Hey, how could this happen."

With a light sigh, Luo Mu recalled the almost finished fruity aroma of the tree juice in Sister Hu Hu's shell, and his face was complicated.

The faster fermentation time than his brother, and the more delicious smell of the tree juice, the almost crushing difference.

If the personality of the brother and sister were swapped, Luo Mu would not be so worried.

You know, for children with sensitive and timid personalities, it is often this gap that will cause them to feel unbalanced. That tiny and cautious heart will go to an unknown extreme because of the sense of gap. This is the worst possibility, but it is not much better. Once the mentality is unbalanced, it may make brother Hu Hu more sensitive and timid.

Just thinking about how to balance the contradiction between the gifted sister and the timid and sensitive brother, Luo Mu's head is almost bald.

If the sister doesn't know that she is one of the factors that make the brother timid and sensitive, this problem will be difficult to solve.

Fortunately, sister Hu Hu is obviously taking care of her brother, which gives Luo Mu some confidence and confidence to think of a set of ways to subtly enlighten brother Hu Hu so that he will not be sad because of his talent.

"Sure enough, we still have to start from cultivating confidence. Can we try to let my brother participate in the battle?"

While thinking about the plan, Luo Mu remembered the old man Hu Hu that Xiaozhi and his group met in the original animation.

The old man Huhu has a mountain of Huhu, and one of the Huhu with a different color is like Sister Huhu, with a very special talent.

Among the Huhu of the old man, only the tree juice brewed by the different-colored Huhu can make a drug that makes any Pokémon feel good.

Perhaps, there are really some different-colored Pokémon that are not only different in body color from their own species, but also have many special talents.

As for Sister Huhu's special talent, Luo Mu thinks that in addition to its fermentation speed being almost twice as fast as Brother Huhu, it may also make the taste of tree juice more delicious, and even increase the effect of tree juice like chewing fruit worms.

If there is really such an effect.

Luo Mu's mind emerged with the small special field on the farm.

Maybe the secret seasoning plants can allow Sister Huhu to make a medicine with a very amazing effect?
