Chapter 36: Fishing for Salt and Stone Treasures

If he's not mistaken, the taste of this Pokémon is salty.

After evolving into salt stone barriers, they will even actively spray salt on their prey, making them salted.

Therefore, for them, the specially salted plums and small dried fish are very attractive.

At first, the salt stone treasure that fled into the cave did not react.

But as more and more dried fish and plums were thrown in, they could no longer bear it, and cautiously paced forward, and came to the plums on the ground to feast.

"Salt and salt~" It's delicious!

A group of salt stone treasures had happy expressions on their faces.

There was only a limited amount of food to throw in, and there was more than one salt stone treasure in the cave, so the plums and small dried fish were soon eaten up.

Just when a group of salt stone treasures felt sad, a small piece of dried fish suddenly flew in from outside.

The little dried fish was thrown not far in front of their location.

A few salt stone treasures blinked, but after all, they didn't resist the temptation, moved forward for a distance, and picked up the small dried fish and ate it.

And at this moment, another small piece of dried fish was thrown not far in front.

There is no danger in that small dried fish just now, so this one must not be dangerous either!

After trying just now, this group of salt stone treasures seemed to have come to this conclusion.

So they happily walked and ate at the same time, and slowly they were fished out of the cave.

By the time they reacted, they had unconsciously come to the front of the two big guys just now.

"Salt salt!"

The Salt Stone Treasures panicked and trembled.

I knew I wouldn't be so greedy!

Naoki: "......"

He glanced at it briefly, and there were no more salt stone treasures in front of him, no less, no less, a total of five.

Five, he just happened to have five Poké Balls in his hand, if he could take these five away......

Naoki coughed lightly, then opened his backpack, took out a piece of plum from it, and handed it to the salt stone treasure at the front.

"Give!"

The salt stone treasure immediately froze in place.

Then, he gave food to the other four Salt Stone Treasures.

Except for one of the smallest, somewhat malnourished looking Salt Stone Treasures, the other four were noticeably less afraid of him than before.

"Eat, eat, eat!"

Naoki unleashed his kindness as much as he could, and Soleton on the side also turned into a docile galloping form, reining in his own aura.

A few salt stone treasures hesitated for a moment, and then ate them carefully.

Naoki glanced at the smallest-looking salt stone treasure, which was a little sluggish and took a while before it began to eat.

Patiently waiting for them to finish eating, Naoki couldn't help but reveal his true colors, and his words were full of temptation: "Is it delicious?" ”

"Salt salt!"

"Do you want to eat these foods every day?" He asked.

The Salt Stone Treasures blinked their eyes and said happily, "Salt Salt! ”

"Come with me, then!" Naoki took out an empty Poké Ball: "Go to my house, I have a ranch that is big and has a lot of food. ”

Just when Naoki thought that he was nine out of ten, there was obvious hesitation in the eyes of this group of salt stone treasures.

"Salt ......"

"Huh?" Isn't it possible?

Naoki fell into deep thought, and at this moment, Yosuke's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Naoki? Why are you here? ”

Naoki turned his head to look and saw Yosuke running over with a bag on his back and a surprised face.

Naoki stood up and didn't hide it: "I want to take these salt stone treasures and bring them back to the ranch to live together." ”

"Salt Stone Treasure?" Following his gaze, Yosuke also saw the salt stone treasures.

He looked around, as if looking for something: "Strange...... I remember that there was a salt stone djinn next to these salt stone treasures? Have you seen it? ”

"Salt Stone Djinn?" Naoki shook his head: "No, when I came over, I only saw these salt stone treasures, and they looked very hungry." ”

Seeing that he was puzzled, Yosuke explained, "I've been observing the ecology of wild Pokémon around here for a long time, and I came across this group of salt stone treasures a few days ago, and they are surrounded by a salt stone djinn. ”

"That Salt Stone Djinn seems to be the leader of their group, and usually takes them with them to find food and hang out outside, you see!"

As he spoke, Yosuke took out the album and flipped through it, revealing that in this place, this group of salt stone treasures surrounded a picture of a salt stone djinn.

The Salt Stone Djinn has a few tree fruits in his big hand and is feeding these Salt Stone Treasures.

"I didn't see it." Naoki shook his head.

Yosuke touched his chin and thought for a moment, "That's weird!" The Salt Stone Djinn will not leave the Salt Stone Treasure, and there are no Pokémon near this place that can beat it, so it seems that there is only one possibility left. ”

Naoki also thought of this at this time, and the two said in unison: "Accepted by the trainer?" ”

If that's the case, the trainer is too irresponsible, isn't it?

Captured the leader of the family, leaving such a group of babies waiting to be fed.

If it was him, he designated not to keep one, and all of them were packed and taken away.

"That's not going to work!" Yosuke frowned: "The salt stone djinn is not here, and soon other Pokémon will come over to fight for this territory." ”

And the weak Salt Stone Treasure has almost no combat ability......

Hearing this, Naoki's desire to take them back to the pasture became stronger.

But looking at the meaning of this group of salt stone treasures, it seems that they don't want to leave yet, waiting for the salt stone djinn to come back.

"Naoki, you can bring them back to your ranch!" Yosuke.

Naoki: "But they don't seem to want to leave here?" ”

Yosuke: "Then use the trainer's way to take it in!" Prove your strength to them through battles! ”

Hearing this, Naoki turned his head to look at Gu Leton.

It's too brutal to use the old Leton to fight the salt stone treasure......

After thinking about it, he decided to use his own method.

Naoki squatted down, not tempting with food again, but looked at the group of salt stone treasures in front of him and asked, "Are you waiting for the salt stone djinn?" ”

"Salt ......"

Yan Shibao has no hands, feet and neck, and the shape resembles a piece of salt mushroom, and the painting style is a bit similar to "Minecraft".

Naoki couldn't judge their answers by his actions and words, so he could only turn his head to look at Soleton.

So Lerton quickly understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Quack! ”

This means that they are indeed waiting for the Salt Stone Djinn.

Although it is extremely likely that the Salt Stone Djinn will be subdued and taken away, Naoki is not 100% sure without seeing it with his own eyes.

Therefore, he decided to accompany this group of salt stone treasures to wait here for a few more days.

If the Salt Stone Djinn doesn't return after a few days, it won't come back.

Knowing his thoughts, Yosuke was a little helpless: "I really can't help you, but I know, I'll help you watch them, so you can go back to work in the ranch with confidence!" But by all right, don't forget to show me the mysterious Pokémon at seven o'clock tonight! ”

"Don't worry!"

He had already prepared the food in advance, so he didn't have to worry about the motorcycle lizards going hungry, so Naoki stayed at the cauldron lake until the afternoon before going back.

As soon as he returned to the ranch, before Naoki could land, he saw an old woman with gray hair standing outside the ranch and looking inside.

Naoki stepped forward and asked politely, "Hello, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

The old lady also looked very polite, and she asked, "Are you the rancher of this ranch?" I'm Porgy Dantès who lives in town, and I would like to ask, do you have goat's milk for sale here? ”

"My husband is sick and needs fresh goat's milk to make a meal for his illness, and if there is one, I am willing to pay a premium for it."

She received it from a mysterious master chef, a healing method called food therapy, which is said to have been handed down from an ancient country, and if you eat it for a long time, your body will gradually get better.

She had already made many trips to the Yanqin Market and several surrounding ranches, but she had not found anyone selling goat's milk.

Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly heard that the ranch here was starting to run again.

So, she rushed over.

Compared to the common moo milk, goat's milk is indeed a bit rarer.

Naoki looked at Mrs. Dantès and shook his head, "I'm sorry, but there isn't one in the ranch yet, but maybe it will be after a while." ”

These words undoubtedly gave the old lady a hope, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Naoki thought that after a while, he would go to the town to buy more Poké Balls, and then go to Cauldron Lake to collect the mount goats and mount lambs, and then he could get goat's milk.

He said to the old man: "If it is convenient, you can leave me your phone number, and I will contact you when there is goat's milk." ”

Mrs. Dantès hurriedly reported her home phone number and thanked her again and again: "Thank you so much! ”
