After saying goodbye to the owner of the medicine house, Xiao Ye took off on the big bird and went straight to the place where the icy herbs grow, on the banks of the Bailang River.

She had already made plans to spend the morning gathering herbs and the afternoon training in the mountains for pre-tournament training - the Pokémon Center training ground in Bailang Town was small and almost fully booked, so the only way to find a free open field was to go out of the city to the suburbs. After all, you have to hurry, and half a day is used to "pull weeds", which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Unlike Mt. Aso on Tagashi Island, the vegetation of Mt. Fengxue is not dense, and the cold gray rocks and deep shades of green are intertwined with mottled hues. As you continue to look upward, the green of the plants is fading and the mountains are gradually covered with snow.

The elevation of Fengxue Mountain is more than 5,000 meters. The snow on the summit never melts, and the mountains of this tropical archipelago are adorned with crisp white, whether in the middle of summer or in the cold. The Windsnow Mountain branch of the Himi clan, an ancient family named after ice, lives above the snow line, and the Snow Storm Battles hosted by them will also be fought in the snow-covered mountains.

Xiao Ye conducted a pre-investigation and knew that the temperature and wind of Fengxue Mountain were by no means something that could be carried by wearing an autumn sportswear. Fortunately, the rules of the Blizzard Campaign are special, and since the contestants must enter the arena as "characters in the story", the organizers have already prepared the costumes corresponding to the characters' identities, which are in line with the storyline and warm enough. The poor rookie trainer was overjoyed by this - the price of winter clothes that could resist the cold wind of the snowy mountains was so expensive that she would rather buy ten catties of snacks to feed Ghost Stone.

Icy herbs are most common at an altitude of about two or three thousand meters. Compared to the town of Bailang at the foot of the mountain, it is just the right amount of coolness, and when the Dabi bird lands on the bank of the river, Pichu, who has endured the scorching heat for many days, can't help but stretch his little arms and legs and roll comfortably on the grass.

The breeze swept through the jungle, the river lapped against the rocks on the shore, and the sound of the clear Ling Ling echoed in the mountains. Although the vegetation in the vicinity is not luxuriant, the interweaving of vegetation and rocks also creates a cool color beauty.

Xiao Ye found a fairly flat clearing nearby, released the Pokémon, and let the energetic guys do some physical training such as running and jumping - this is the Pokémon Reserve, and if you make a big move with your moves, you might attract a protection officer who collects the fine.

In front of the owner of the medicine house before, in order to win his trust, Xiaoya swore that he would let Ghost Stone help collect the medicine. But seeing the big ghost's eyes glowing, the trainer decisively decided to let it fly back and forth with rocks to exercise his strength.

Even if it's to protect your hair from being cut off...... Let's do the work of collecting medicine by yourself.

The icy herbs that grow in the crevices of the rocks are difficult to search for with the naked eye, but for the waveguide messengers, finding objects could not be easier.

The purple-haired girl jumped up and down on the rocks by the river, and in a few moments there were several more blue grasses in her backpack. The slippery rocks and steep terrain didn't seem to bother her -

It doesn't count for the Snow Boy.

When Xiao Ye saw that the little guy was not running in circles around the other companions, but was jumping up and down behind her, she was startled. However, it turns out that the snow boy born in the snowy mountains does not find the "snowless mountain" difficult to walk at all, and even runs faster than the trainer himself. Seeing this, Xiao Ye simply gave it a task of picking up mushrooms.

The snow boy was very happy when he received the instructions, and ran around with the bamboo basket on his back, and soon gathered a basket of colorful mushrooms. When it saw its results, it felt unsatisfied, and then cleverly changed its goal and ran to pick nuts under the tree.

- For freelance trainers who like to drill into the wilderness, this kind of food collection is the norm.

Humans and Pokémon have been living in symbiosis for thousands of years, and domesticating and raising Pokémon has been an attempt since ancient times. Nowadays, thanks to advanced technology and successive scholars, the nutrients needed by Pokémon of each race have been analyzed more clearly than the words in the dictionary, and convenient Pokémon food has also come into being, which has long been spread throughout major shopping malls and small shops.

Any kind of dry food that has been inspected for quality will provide Pokémon with enough nutrients to thrive. For example, the most popular "Wilderness Feast" among freelance trainers - a large amount of filling, good quality and low price, has made an outstanding contribution to reducing the cost of feeding Pokémon for trainers, and even players like Xiao Ye, who are struggling at the poverty line, can rely on it to feed their big stomachs. If I want to express any thoughts on this, Xiao Ya will definitely squeeze out two tears with real emotion, shouting that the wilderness feast will save my dog's life.

Of course, this affordable dry food also has obvious drawbacks - the taste is simple, and the texture is also very ordinary, if you only eat this for three meals a day, I am afraid that the best temper Dabi bird will make a revolution. Experienced travelers have long expected this, and the refined posts left by countless breeders on the GT forum point out the solution strategy for newcomers.

Dry food is a Pokémon's "staple", similar to rice, and a pleasant meal requires a variety of side dishes. Each Pokémon's favorite food is different, but fortunately, most of them can be found in the abundant nature.

Few Pokémon hate tree fruits, especially orange orange or pomelo fruits, which can replenish their stamina. Charizard is a fan of burnt mushrooms, Leolu prefers mushroom soup, nibbling on nuts is a daily pleasure for Pichu, and forest lizards always have fresh wild vegetables in their bowls - ingredients like these are quite common in any forest and go well together to make a Pokémon's meal hearty.

Each Pokémon Center has Poké Cube Crafting Instruments that can be used for free. Xiao Ye recorded a lot of Pokémon's favorite recipes in his notebook, and from time to time he would use tree fruits as raw materials to make a batch of Poké cubes to change the taste for his friends.

Oh, and I don't have to make it anymore - as the first guest to discover the "Gray Fireball Rat", Xiao Ye was rewarded with a Poké Cube gift pack, and the weight was so heavy that she almost doubted her life, and it would take two or three weeks to see the end.

And after getting the top four prize money of the Quartz Alliance, Xiaoye's economic situation has improved slightly, and he can finally try to buy slightly more expensive dry food.

The variety of flavors of the Wilderness Feast is simply and crudely divided, and it is distinguished only by attributes. And the slightly higher-priced dry food, such as Ai Na, Niu ○ and other friendly stores resident well-known brands, usually according to attributes, body type, egg groups and even personality and so on are more detailed classification, often dozens of models are just the norm.

For example, Pokémon such as Charizard, Tyrannosaurus, and Leolu are all upper predators in nature's food chain, and their dry food will contain more fresh meat, while Tabi's dry food contains more grains, and Pichu and Forest Lizard's dry food are mainly vegetables and tree fruits.

Compared to them, the mineral and amorphous dry food is much more bizarre, such as the one that Snow Boy eats that looks like a pile of ice cubes and doesn't look like a staple food at all, and Ghost Stone even eats wrapping paper......

Well, this should have nothing to do with the egg group, it's just a ghost difference.

Since the trainers have become more abundant, the quality of the food of the Pokémon has improved a lot, and the "beasts" such as Charizard are especially happy, and they can still eat canned meat with different flavors every once in a while. And while they were burying their heads in the pan, the trainer couldn't help but fall into deep thought with the can he bought from a friendly store.

In the territory of the Pokémon Alliance, it is a crime to hunt Pokémon for consumption, and only the parts that naturally fall off the Pokémon can be collected and used as food. It is said that the main ingredient for canned fresh meat provided to terrestrial Pokémon is the tail of the Dumb Beast.

Reminiscent of the cans on the shelves I saw in the store, a question mark slowly popped up from the top of Koya's head.

…… How many nerds are there in this country?

Half a morning has passed, Xiao Ye has collected a lot of cold herbs, and the various ingredients collected by the snow boy are also piled up. The trainer sorts and packs the ingredients with ease, picks out small colored stones that are clearly not food, and puts them in glass bottles to use as toys for the Snow Boy. Then, she called back the Pokémon for the time being, planning to go to the other side of the river to scavenge.

The forest on the riverside is luxuriant, which is not suitable for the flight of the big bird, and can only be crossed by the tyrannosaurus. Xiao Ye looked at the wide river surface and the turbulent water, and silently prepared the psychological expectation of getting soaked before setting off - the Tyrannosaurus was a player with no manned experience, and with its rough style, Xiao Ye felt that it would not be surprising to be dragged into the water by a 360-degree spiral.

A minute later -

Lying on top of the head of the Storm Carp Dragon, Xiao Ye watched in amazement as his partner crossed the river with unprecedented podity, his head as steady as a camera's tripod, and his wagging tail not even picking up a drop of water. The impact of this scene was comparable to that of a fire-breathing dragon that suddenly became polite, so shocked that Xiao Ye's hand holding the dragon's horn forgot to exert force, and the whole person almost slipped into the river.

On the contrary, the tyrannosaurus was startled by the sudden miss of the person above his head, and hurriedly raised his tail and rolled it, stucking the trainer in the middle, and his vicious face was full of confusion.

Hanging on its dorsal fin, Saya blurted out, "Did you carry your former trainer?"

Tyrannosaurus: "......" (water dragon question mark .jpg)

Xiaoye: "...... Sorry when I didn't ask. ”

The girl shook her head and let her IQ go back to her head - the Tyrannosaurus had not yet evolved at that time, and I believe that no trainer would swim on the back of the Carp King.

In this way, Xiao Ye remembered that the tyrannosaurus rarely got into trouble in daily life. Stunned youths such as Charizard are left aside for the time being, and even the steady Dabi bird and forest lizard have made mistakes such as accidentally knocking over the soup pot and ruining their lunch, or accidentally scratching a trainer's paw. As the biggest guy in the team, the Tyrannosaurus never destroys it, and has protected the ingredients from the claws of Charizard many times.

Maybe...... This is the sophistication of Pokémon who once had a trainer?

By the time the trainer cleared his mind of the wild speculation, the Tyrannosaurus had arrived at the opposite shore safely.

Nightshade jumped down and reached out to catch the Pichu that had rolled down from the Tyrannosaurus's horns.

The eastern side of the Bailang River is more treacherous. The trainer looked around, and for a moment he didn't see an open space suitable for physical training, but first found cold herbs sandwiched in a stone crevice more than a dozen meters away. So, instead of calling out to the tyrannosaurus that was rolling and stretching in the river, Xiao Ye jumped forward on the wet stone first, approaching the cold blue herb.

Halfway through the jump, the surface of the river suddenly rippled. Sensing something keenly, Saya suddenly stopped—the moment she stood still, a behemoth burst through the water, and in the curtain of splashing water, it swung its purple-lit tentacles at the humans who had invaded its territory!

The appearance of the stinger jellyfish did not panic the trainers. She remembers one of the reasons the banks of the Bailang River were designated as a protected area – it was the rare colony of stinger jellyfish that lived in freshwater areas. It's just that the beast from under the water appeared so abruptly that Xiao Ye didn't even have time to open its detection, and hurriedly jumped backwards, avoiding its venom-soaked tentacles.

And in just a few seconds, the second and third stinger jellyfish also emerged from the river.

Sayo knows that she shouldn't face a horde of Pokémon head-to-head, not to mention that she's in a protected area, and if she hurts a stinger jellyfish, she'll be fined. After setting the goal of retreating, Xiao Ye took out the Poké Ball in one hand and opened it in the direction of the Tyrannosaurus without looking back. At the same time, the tentacles of the stinger jellyfish stretched out like a spirit snake, and quickly stabbed at the humans who had no time to dodge.

Xiao Yejia's right arm in front of him faintly lit up with blue light, and at least three retreat plans after parrying this blow while retracting the tyrannosaurus had already popped up in his mind. However, in the next moment, the sonorous collision sound made the trainer's eardrums tingle.

The water dragon's massive body stood in front of it, casting the trainer in the shadow behind him.

The missing red light has returned to the Poké Ball. Xiao Ye raised her head in surprise-

The dark blue water dragon that blocked the next blow with its hard body let out a deafening roar. The sound waves spread out in all directions, setting off a chaotic wave on the surface of the river in the mountains.

====================

Small Theatre:

However, it turns out that the snow boy born in the snowy mountains does not find the "snowless mountain" difficult to walk at all, and even runs faster than the trainer himself. Seeing this, Xiao Ye simply gave it a task of picking up mushrooms.

The snow boy was very happy when he received the instructions, and ran around with the bamboo basket on his back, and soon gathered a basket of colorful mushrooms.

Ghost Stone: (cheerful) The little girl picking mushrooms~carrying a big bamboo basket~

Stinger Jellyfish Swarm: (Collapse) Where's the ghost's scream, it's hard to hear!Brothers, beat it!!
