Chapter 150: The Part-time Gopher (5k)
Methods that can help the evolution of the Salt Stone Treasure......
Naoki's first thought was to gain experience through battles and achieve the effect of training, so as to help Pokémon evolve.
Why don't you let it compete with the other salt stone barriers?
It's a good idea.
Generally speaking, the evolution of Pokémon is the accumulation of life levels, and when it accumulates to a certain extent, it will undergo a metamorphosis and become a more powerful existence.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide sufficient nutrition and energy for Yanshibao.
This is very satisfying, and he can make a few more servings of rock salt fried soil that Yan Shibao likes to eat.
That thing can increase the strength of the Salt Stone Treasure's body, making it stronger and healthier.
Thinking of this, Naoki asked the other four Salt Stone Fortresses to exchange their evolution experience with Salt Stone Treasure first, while he went back indoors and checked the inventory in the locker.
Then I found that there are still many rock salt at home, and there is no soil used to make rock salt fried soil.
That kind of soil is produced in the town of Caveza, and it contains various nutrients, which is very suitable for Pokémon with rock and earth attributes.
Cave Towns......
It's a pity that the distance between the town of Cave and the town of Yanqin is too far, and he has no way to go there to dig it himself, so he can only buy it from the market of Yanqin.
The ingredients at home are almost finished, so I can go and replenish them on the way.
At nine o'clock in the morning, after finishing his work on the ranch, Naoki said a word to the Motorcycle Lizard and Old Lerton, and rode the mounted goat to the town.
They first went to the market to buy a bunch of tree fruits and meat steaks, and finally went to the stall selling soil to buy a large bag of soil.
Seeing that he would come over every once in a while, the stall owner smiled and asked, "Those Pokémon love to eat, right?" ”
"That's right." Naoki also smiled and nodded.
There is no need to worry about the rock salt frying soil going bad, so every time he will fry a large pot and store it, so that he only needs to take out a part of it every day and feed it to the salt stone treasure.
"If you like to eat, it's right!" The stall owner said, "I heard that Bangira's cubs ate this kind of soil when they were young! ”
"After laying the eggs, Banjira will bury the eggs in the deep ground, and when the eggs hatch into small Yukira, it will eat up the surrounding soil and then go to the surface."
"The more soil there is, the more likely it is that there will be Banjira and Yukira!"
"And that kind of thing?" Naoki is only known to have Kira born underground.
"Hmm!" The stall owner had a look of course on his face, and he didn't forget to remind: "So if you find this kind of soil in the wild, you must leave the vicinity, because Bangira has a very strong sense of territory, and it would be bad if you were an intruder!" ”
"That's right." Naoki nodded, not paying much attention to it.
It happened that someone else came to buy dirt, so he turned away and rode back to the pasture on his mount goat.
The ranch is still a thriving and lively scene.
Naoki returned to the room with a few large bags of things, he glanced at the old-fashioned pendulum clock on the wall, and saw that it was still early, so he began to make rock salt fried soil for Yan Shibao.
The Pokémon were all playing outside, and the room was very quiet, except for the sound of a spatula flipping, and the Pokémon screaming from outside could be heard here.
Naoki listened, it should be Soleton teaching the motorcycle lizard and the fast dragon.
Soon, a large pot of clay was cooked, and Naoki poured them into a pot and placed them on the floor to cool.
And at this moment, Ba Da Butterfly suddenly flew in from outside: "Babble! ”
Naoki turned his head to look, "Huh? What's wrong? ”
Ba Da Butterfly pointed out incredulously, looking like she wanted him to go over and take a look: "Babble! ”
Seeing this, Naoki put down his work and followed Ba Da Butterfly outside.
To be precise, I came to the side of the farmland.
This time, without being reminded by Ba Da Butterfly, he noticed that something was wrong.
Because the originally flat land in the farmland bulged out very obvious bulges, as if something had drilled through underneath.
What's more, what's even more distressing is that there are a few more gnawing marks on the newly grown seedlings in a few fields.
"Babble......" Ba Da Butterfly flapped her wings slightly, her face sad.
And then, suddenly, something began to move underground.
Immediately after, a Pokémon with an oval brown head and a red nose emerges from underneath.
Is that...... Gophers?!
The conjecture in Naoki's mind was confirmed at this moment.
It seems that the initiator of all this is this little gopher!
Naoki immediately said: "Ba Da Butterfly, grab it, use hypnotic powder!" ”
"Babble!"
The butterfly was also angry at the destruction of the farmland, flapping its wings and spilling phosphorus powder from above.
Seeing that it was about to hit, the gopher shrank back into the ground as if sensing something, and moved quickly underground.
Soon, the gopher stopped and burrowed out of the ground again.
This time, it set its sights on the one person and one big butterfly in Tanabe.
"Squeak!"
Then, it retracted back to the ground, as if it was deliberately mischievous.
Seeing this scene, several black lines appeared on the door of Naoki's head.
Gophers, a type of Pokémon that prefer shady places, spend most of their time underground, surviving by eating things like tree roots.
Many farmers nurture gophers carefully because the soil is properly turned and their droppings make the soil fertile and suitable for cultivation.
To raise them, farmers plant trees around the crops that gophers like to eat, and in this way get them to help cultivate the land.
Sometimes, however, gophers can also eat the crops planted by farmers, causing disasters to farmers.
Like now.
So, he met a gopher who was deliberately mischievous?!
Damn, that's the crop he's worked so hard to plant!
"Soleton!"
Faced with the provocative gophers, Naoki did not hesitate to call for reinforcements.
Gu Leton, who was basking in the sun not far away, heard a shout, and the whole person swooped over like a rocket.
"Ahh
"Catch it!" Naoki ordered.
Hearing this, Lerton set his eyes on the field, and after seeing the initiator who made Naoki angry, a speechless expression suddenly appeared on his face.
In the next second, it released the terrifying aura on its body.
The gopher, who had been messing around in the farmland, suddenly felt an invisible coercion and a terrifying aura.
It immediately realized that there was a very powerful Pokémon here.
The gopher squeaked in panic, and then instinctively retreated into the ground and fled.
But how could Le Ton possibly give it that chance?
Therefore, Loton stomped on the ground, and the huge vibration caused the tunnel dug by the gopher to collapse instantly.
Then, it rushed forward, and with a clawed knife, it "fainted" the gopher that had no time to retreat.
After completing the task, Soleton hid his merit and fame and retreated to Naoki's side.
Naoki stepped forward to inspect the damage to the farmland.
Fortunately, the gopher has not spread to other places, only a small piece of farmland has been affected, and two corn seedlings have been eaten.
Seeing this scene, Naoki breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked over to the unconscious gopher and tried to pick it up, but he didn't succeed in trying to get rid of the boss.
The lower body of the gopher seems to be firmly welded to the earth.
"Damn, so hard to dig?" Naoki was a little surprised, no wonder no one knew what the underground part of the gopher looked like.
Ba Da Butterfly flew forward and asked, "Babble? ”
Naoki thought to himself what it should be asking, and after a little thought, he sneered and replied:
"You can't just let it go."
The "unconscious" gopher shuddered.
Naoki paid attention to this scene and thought to himself, good guy, he would even pretend to be dizzy!
In that case, wouldn't it be unreasonable for him not to cooperate?
Naoki pretended to be angry: "This guy is so hateful, he must be punished properly!" ”
Hearing his tone, the unconscious gopher began to tremble.
Although it can burrow into the ground and escape, it may not be able to run away in front of that terrifying Pokémon.
Naoki glanced at the gopher out of the corner of his eye, and said to Gu Leton and Ba Da Butterfly:
"What do you think should be done to punish this bad guy?"
Ba Da Butterfly said angrily: "Bah! ”
So Lerton: "Ahh......h
Naoki deliberately said: "Since that's the case, then lock it up and starve it for a month!" Roast a gopher with a jet of flame, freeze it in an ice cellar, and throw it into the river! ”
Hearing this, the gopher trembled even more exaggeratedly.
Devil!
This human is a devil even more terrible than a redskin Pokémon!
Ba Da Butterfly imagined that picture for a moment, and felt that it was too cruel, although this gopher was very naughty, but it was not so guilty.
It couldn't bear to say, "Babble......"
"Squeak!" The gopher heart said yes, yes, yes, it didn't mean anything, it just wanted to play tricks on this human!
Hearing Ba Da Butterfly's words, Naoki "snorted coldly" and said:
"It's not impossible to let it go, unless it stays to help me and counteract the damage it causes."
Gu Letun on the side looked at the two of them singing and harmonizing, and didn't know what to say for a while.
It knew that Naoki was just talking about it, and it wasn't really going to do that.
But gophers don't think so.
In its opinion, this human being is truly the most terrifying creature in the world!
Its brain seemed to speed up, and it began to imagine itself being locked up, roasted by fire, frozen, and finally thrown into the river.
It's scary......
The gopher regretted not doing it at the beginning, and it was at this moment. Suddenly, it heard the human say that it was not impossible to let it go.
Hearing this, the gopher quickly opened his eyes and nodded again and again in Naoki's "surprised" gaze.
"Squeak!"
It willing! It's willing to stay and work to offset the damage it causes!
Naoki: "......" is so unintimidating.
He looked at the gopher in front of him with great interest, who "took the initiative" to stay and work.
In fact, the first time he saw the gopher, he had the idea of leaving it.
But this gopher was too naughty, and he played a game of whack-a-mole with him, so he made this decision to let Soleton scare it.
"Are you really willing to stay and work?" Naoki asked.
The gopher nodded in a panic: "Squeak!" ”
Naoki was a little unconvinced: "You shouldn't be planning to run away while I'm not paying attention, right?" ”
The gopher hurriedly shook his head: "Squeak! ”
"Very well, then let me see your sincerity." Naoki led the way in front: "Come with me!" I just have a job for you. ”
The gopher hurriedly followed.
Naoki motioned with his eyes to let him continue playing with the fast dragon motorcycle lizard.
But Le Dun didn't want to play anymore, because the motorcycle lizard and the dragon were also attracted to it.
A few Pokémon wondered what Naoki was going to do with the gopher, so they came over to watch.
Seeing this, Naoki didn't say anything, just took the gopher to the salt house.
At this time, several salt stone barricades were playing on the grass outside, and the salt house was empty.
Naoki stood on the wooden floor and said to the gopher, "Help me dig a big hole here and dig all the way down, can you do it?" ”
The gopher was startled, and it looked around, and said to himself, "It's too big here, and it's going to have to work for a long, long time......
But fearing that the human would think it was useless and lock it up again, the gopher nodded again and again.
"Good." Naoki didn't forget to hit a stick to give a sweet date: "Work hard, during this period, I will provide you with food." ”
"Squeak." Gophers do not dare to be delusional.
Naoki is here to help him, such as breaking the planks and breaking the stones in the ground.
And he went to prepare lunch for the Pokémon.
Today's lunch was still a simple sandwich and steak, and when Naoki cooked and went to the salt house to check on the situation, the gopher not only did not take the opportunity to escape, but also dug a big hole there.
Seeing this scene, Naoki Xin said that this gopher was quite simple and upright, and said that if he didn't run, he wouldn't run, and there were obviously many opportunities to escape from digging holes in the ground.
Naoki asked Soleton to go to dinner first, and then called the gopher that was busy with his work.
The gopher poked its head out of the ground tremblingly, it thought it would be scolded by this human, but it was greeted with a food with an enticing aroma.
The gopher swallowed.
Naoki smiled and handed over the sandwich: "Give you the food, eat it!" ”
The gopher didn't dare to move.
Seeing its appearance, Naoki felt that it was probably really scared.
He thought about it carefully and said comfortingly: "Take it easy, as long as you don't destroy my farmland, I won't hurt you, and the other Pokémon in the ranch won't hurt you." ”
"When you help me dig a hole, you can leave if you want, I won't stop you anymore, and during the time you work, I will provide you with food at regular intervals every day."
Hearing this, the gopher blinked: "Squeak? ”
It looked at the sandwich in front of it, and then at the human.
For some reason, the gopher suddenly felt that this human didn't seem so scary when he wasn't angry.
It cautiously ate the sandwich.
The first bite of the gopher lit up with two small eyes.
"Squeak!"
It has never eaten such delicious food!
Gophers speed up their meals.
Soon, an entire sandwich was eaten, and the stamina recovery effect that included it restored the gopher to its best condition.
Looking at the gopher's expression, Naoki Xin said that it shouldn't sneak away now.
After eating, the gopher continued to dig a large hole.
Naoki turned around and went back to the house and counted the money he had earned these days.
With the evolution of the salt stone treasure, the rock salt production in the pasture has been greatly increased.
Today is April 16th.
By the end of next month, he would probably have enough money to build a house and go to Kerry to expand the cabin into a large house with a bathroom, a cellar, a living room, and a separate kitchen.
"Whew, it's really exciting!"
Closing the ledger, Naoki went to check the pot of rock salt fried soil again.
Seeing that the soil inside had cooled down, he took the basin and found the salt stone treasure that was enjoying the shade under a tree.
With a bang, Naoki put the pot in front of Shishi Bao and looked at it with an encouraging gaze:
"Eat! After eating this pot of soil, you should be able to evolve! ”
What this Salt Stone Treasure lacks is not its strength, but its physical fitness is not as good as that of other Salt Stone Barriers.
Congenital malnutrition can only be compensated for by acquired efforts.
Even though it has been eating very nutritious since coming to the ranch, its overall quality is still a little worse than that of other salt stone treasures.
And these rock salt fried soil can increase the physical strength of the salt stone treasure, as long as it becomes stronger, maybe it can meet the physical conditions needed for evolution.
If it can't evolve after eating, then let it go to other Pokémon for training, and I believe it won't be long before it can evolve into a salt stone base.
"Salt ......"
Shishi Bao looked at the pot of soil that Naoki in front of him had made specially for him, which was not available in other salt stone barriers.
Its heart was extremely moved, and it immediately rose up and began to work hard to eat the soil in front of it.
However, as soon as it finished lunch, its stomach was already bulging, and after eating a few large bites, Yan Shibao lay on the grass weakly, letting out a weak cry.
"Salt ......" It's dying......
Naoki looked at this scene with a smile and a smile: "You stupid boy, eat it, I mean let you eat it slowly as a snack, and if you can't finish it once, you will save it for the next time." ”
Hearing this, Yan Shibao was a little embarrassed.
Naoki picked it up and weighed it a few times, "Well, it's a lot fatter than when I first met you." ”
"Salt Salt~" Yan Shibao happily coquettishly with him.
Whether it's it or the other salt stone barriers, I'm very grateful to Naoki in my heart.
Naoki not only takes care of them like a salt stone djinn, but also prepares a variety of delicious food for them every day.
Even if it's a salt stone djinn, it's not as good as Naoki!
Naoki simply held the salt stone treasure in his arms and blew the wind and cooled in the shade with it.
He looked at the vast field in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion: "After you successfully evolve the Salt Stone Djinn, I won't be able to hold you!" ”
"Salt salt!"
Yan Shibao's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Never mind! When the time comes, Naoki can't hold them, so it's up to them to hug Naoki!
