"Forehead ......"

Aoyagi thought for a moment, and then asked in a tone of uncertainty with a hint of uncertainty, "Although I don't know what you mean by exchange, it seems that I can get the badge without exchanging...... Right? ”

"But that's going to take some time, isn't it?"

"I want to ...... It shouldn't take much time, and I'll end the fight soon. ”

Seeing Aoyagi say this in an unusually calm appearance, Winter Melon and Ryota father and son glanced at each other with complicated and embarrassed expressions.

The vegetable seed stroked his forehead with some embarrassment.

Although I knew that Aoyagi probably misunderstood what she meant, even so, such an understatement of "defeating you three gym trainers won't delay me much time at all" is a bit heart-wrenching.

"Ahem......"

Cai Chong shook his hands into a fist and put it to his mouth, coughing lightly: "I'm not talking about the time of defeat, I'm talking about other times." ”

"Other times?"

Aoyagi glanced around, thoughtful.

"You should have noticed it too."

Returning to the topic, Cai Chong said slowly: "Just like you just said, first of all, these three hundred Pokémon that have been corroded by that strange black gas, you need to contact Miss Junsha to control their actions, and then report to the professional counterpart of the Alliance for testing and identification."

"Although we can't play a role in this kind of thing, but as parties and direct witnesses, the three of us will definitely not be able to get away for a while, and the Great Forest of Hundred Generations ...... Well, to be destroyed like this, even if there is a very valid reason, it requires us to come up with a reasonable explanation, and it takes a lot of time.

"Besides, the three of us didn't carry badges with us, it took time to run back and forth or have people send them over, and all things were put together, and the delay should be more than just a moment."

Aoyagi heard this and fell into deep thought.

Indeed, as Nanaga said, if it is a relatively "common" evil organization attack or sabotage activity, it will be fine, but the problem involved this time cannot even display information directly on the panel, which shows that the problem is not simple.

The more difficult it is to deal with, the longer it will take to deal with it, and there is only a little more than a month left before the opening of the Lily of the Valley Conference, which is not very abundant.

Moreover, he also heard something else from the words of the vegetable seed.

From beginning to end, his "main participant" did not appear in the words of the vegetable seeds, and when the vegetables came over just now, he also said that he handed over the problems to them.

Obviously, compared to three badges, the exchange made by the other party is actually to help themselves solve these complicated chores.

"Because I'm still challenging the gym to collect badges in the last time until the opening of the Lily of the Valley Conference, and I haven't prepared for the battle, so I need to hurry."

Aoyagi said slowly in a voice that only he could hear, and then looked at the vegetable seeds.

Compared with the father and son of the winter melon scoop who only had fossils in their minds next to them, the vegetable seeds do seem normal and much smarter, and it is indeed much easier to solve the problem with such a person.

"Since you don't have a badge on you, how do I get it?"

Aoyagi asked.

When Cai Chong heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Skipping the topic that was originally being exchanged and going straight to the last option of the original topic shows that Aoyagi has indirectly agreed with her suggestion.

"You can rest assured that we will send the badge to the registration center in Lily of the Valley, and you only need to bring the other five badges for registration."

Aoyagi nodded, and then asked, "So, tell me what exactly you just said about the exchange, right?" ”

As the words fell, the vegetable seed's gaze instantly turned to the cactus beast next to him, and his brown pupils flashed with a scorching light.

Feeling this fiery gaze, the cactus beast was a little scared.

It's the kind of look it had only seen in the eyes of Digimon that wanted to prey on it before coming to this place, but it didn't know what the petite human in front of it was trying to do, and it couldn't even resist a punch from it.

Especially after the other party looked at his peeked gaze, he seemed to be even more excited.

This appearance made the cactus beast move its body slowly and hide behind Aoyagi, but its almost three-meter size was not very covered.

Aoyagi, who had an impression of the vegetable seed, saw this scene and said: "I know that Miss Caizhong likes grass-based Pokémon very much, and I have talked about wanting to collect all the grass-based Pokémon in the world before, but the cactus beast is my very important companion, and if I take it away or exchange it, I will not agree." ”

"Aoyagi ......"

The cactus beast looked at the side face of the person in front of it, and there were tears in its empty eyes.

【Race】Cactusmon

[Intimacy] 60→80 (Sincere gratitude and love for you to be able to value it)

And after hearing Aoyagi's words, the vegetable seed waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, no." ”

After that, Nana Chong sighed heavily, and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "Although I like it very much, but the last time you fought against Ms. Kikuno, its combat power has completely surpassed me.

"Even if it is...... Even if you really wanted to give it to me, I wouldn't want it, I didn't want to be an obstacle to the growth of this rare grass-type Pokémon that I had never seen before, and I could see that it liked you very much. ”

The cactus beast's green face suddenly turned red, and in order to avoid being discovered, it silently turned its back.

After noticing the cactus's emotions, Aoyagi looked back at the vegetable seeds.

Since the other party is not for the cactus, then what else can it be for?

It wasn't until the other party and the plate came out that Aoyagi raised his eyebrows a little weirdly.

"You mean to say that after I participate in the Lily of the Valley Conference, I will take the time to come to the Momoyo Gym to be a gym trainer for you for a few days?"

Cai Chong nodded repeatedly: "Yes...... The salary package is the same as mine, and it will not be more than a week at most, it will not delay you much, and I will be back soon. ”

"Why?"

Although it is common for a gym trainer to go out and leave the gym to someone trustworthy to take care of, it seems that he and the other party have only been in contact for a short time, and such a request makes Aoyagi a little puzzled.

"Because I don't have a trainer with a very good grass-type Pokémon around me, and most of the gyms are children except for me, and they don't have the ability to compete in the gym, so far only you meet the requirements."

"If you leave it to me as a substitute, aren't you afraid that I'm actually a bad person?"

Aoyagi said curiously.

Nana immediately replied solemnly: "I believe that someone who can like and be liked by grass-based Pokémon will not be a bad person no matter what." ”

“……”

Aoyagi fell silent for a long time.

Seeing Aoyagi's appearance, Nazune was afraid that he would not agree, so he hurriedly continued: "In addition to what I said before, I can also teach you another method that can improve the strength of the cactus beast. ”

"Oh?"

Aoyagi was suddenly interested.

Although he will agree to save time without this condition, it would be better to add something useful to him.

Seeing the news that Aoyagi was so intentional, Nana took a deep breath and said seriously: "When the cactus beast fought against Ms. Kikuno's ivory pig before, it used five grass-based moves, absorbing all the vitality energy in the nearby eighty-meter area into the body, and bursting out with a blow far more powerful than its own level, this should be a specially trained move combination, right?" ”

"That's right, I found it by chance."

Aoyagi did not deny it.

Since the other party has seen the battle video, and he is also a gym trainer who is proficient in the grass system, it is normal to analyze the number of cactus beast's moves and know the principle of operation.

"I've thought about a lot of combinations before, but I'm nowhere near that level."

Nanagan said as he looked at Aoyagi over and over again: "I also saw the cactus beast use it once just now, but after a month or two, it seems that the range of absorption it can absorb has not been greatly improved?" ”

Hearing this, Aoyagi nodded after being silent for a long time.

It is true that the level of the cactus beast has soared in recent times, but the "Great Desolation Sutra" of the combination of the five moves has not made the same progress.

At first, the range was 50 meters when the morphological evolution potion was injected, and then it expanded to 80 meters after it evolved into a cactusmon, but until now it is only about 100 meters.

Such a range increase speed is obviously not comparable to the speed of level increase.

To put it simply, it is gradually approaching the bottleneck period.

"Is there any way to fix it?"

"Have you ever tried to increase the number of moves and cover more area with more moves?"

"I've tried several, but they've failed."

Aoyagi said slowly.

As a 21st century time-traveler, what you are best at is often not how to cultivate Pokémon, but how to use some of the things you have seen to carry out the combination and combination of moves derived from variants.

For example, the first Hokage in Naruto, the two moves of the Tree Realm Advent and the Flower Tree Realm Advent between the Thousand Hand Pillars were tried to be copied during the bottleneck period of the Cactus Beast.

But without exception, small-scale can do, large-scale can not do it at all.

If the improvement of the strength of the vegetable seed is also this, then it is likely to be in vain.

And when Aoyagi gave some of the tried, the eyes of the vegetable seeds gleamed with excitement again.

"It's all some creative move combinations, how come I never thought that Aoyagi actually has the potential to become a grass master...... Ahem, excuse me. ”

After realizing that the vegetable seed was off-topic, he coughed lightly twice, and said again: "Grass-based Pokémon are generally related to plants, or they are a kind of plants themselves, and almost all of them have photosynthesis, that is, the habit of basking in the sun and absorbing sunlight, you know all of this, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"However, after my experience as a trainer for so long, and some botanists, grass trainers, and some masters I have consulted before, I have come to the conclusion that grass Pokémon are not so much Pokémon as they are half-plant and half-Pokémon.

"So if you think of a grass-type Pokémon as a plant entirely, then what do plants usually need to grow healthy and normal besides sunlight?"

Aoyagi frowned and asked, "Soil?" ”

"That's right."

"Plants can absorb water directly from the soil, and there are many things in the soil that are beneficial to plants, especially when the cactus beast's combo moves are used if the root system is used deep into the soil, and the quality of the soil is very important."

"But whether it's Dr. Yamanashi's research institute or Momoyo Great Forest, the quality of the soil must be at the upper middle level, right?" Aoyagi asked.

"But aren't they also supplying ordinary plants and ordinary Pokémon, a Pokémon with a root system in an area of 100 meters in diameter should not be within their tolerance range."

"Makes sense."

Aoyagi nodded slowly when he heard this, and then asked, "So...... Where is the soil that can meet the current standard of cactus? ”

Cai Chong replied, "Huayuan Town." ”

Hearing the name, Aoyagi's mind was reminded of the information about the town from the travel book he had read before.

Hanaen is a small town with a small population, but it is home to most of the flowers and honey in the Sinnoh region, and flowers are planted in almost every part of the town, both inside and outside, and it is even rumored that the rich fragrance of flowers can be smelled from several kilometers away from the town.

In such a place, the soil quality is indeed one of the best in the Sinnoh region.

"Once there, you can go and find a flower field called Gracidia, which has the highest requirements for soil and all aspects, and should be perfectly fine for the needs of the cactus."

Aoyagi silently memorized the name and appearance of the flower mentioned by the vegetable seed, and then took out the illustrated book to search for confirmation, and bowed slightly towards the vegetable seed.

"Miss Caizhong, thank you very much for your information and help."

"It's a small thing, just don't forget our agreement."

"No, I'll come to Momoyo City as soon as the lily of the valley conference is over."

Aoyagi said solemnly.

"Okay."

Nanagan smiled and said, "Maybe the cactus beasts have broken through to a level that scares me by then." ”

"Yes."

After a simple handover and goodbye, Aoyagi stood on the shoulders of the mechanical tyrannosaur beast and flew towards the sky.

Winter melon looked at the figure that was about to disappear in the distance, and after being silent for a long time, he straightened his hair on the top of his head that was stained with mud, and said, "Miss Caizhong, you have taken over a lot of trouble." ”

"As a gym trainer, aren't you doing some troublesome things?"

The winter melon was silent for a long time and did not respond.

After a while, he said, "However, even if you don't have friends around you who are familiar with grass-type Pokémon, if you want to go out, can't you keep the gym for a few days?" Don't let him come to substitute for him, right? ”

"Didn't you just say that you have to be serious, how can you change the hexagram all of a sudden, and of course it's an excuse, I just want to take a look at the cactus beast more." The vegetable replied with a smile.

“…… Is that going out fake? ”

"Of course not, it's one thing to see the cute cactusmon, and on the other hand, I want to go to the back mountain of Dr. Yamanashi's research institute to have a look, and it's best to be able to subdue a Balu beast or a cactus beast."

"Still don't give up?"

Cai Chong nodded heavily: "Of course, such a cute grass-based Pokémon can only be watched, and if I can't sleep with it every day, I will keep chattering in the coffin if I die." ”

"The cactus beast should be covered with thorns, can't it hurt if you sleep in it? And ......"

"What?"

"It seems that Miss Nanaga said that the exchange of the three badges was not discussed with me in advance, and even the proposed exchange is only yours...... It's a little bit unpleasant. ”

“……”

The light remembered that the cactus beast had forgotten about the stubble.

"Hey, hey, let's continue to discuss whether the cactus beast is comfortable sleeping in its arms." ”
