Chapter 345: Banquet, Big Guys Gather
Hey? Poison babe?
Isn't that the ultimate beast in the Alola region?
How can there be an energy block with this effect?
Looking at the strangely colored energy cube in front of him, Naoki was a little surprised.
If placed in the wild, there is a chance that it will attract Pokémon like Poison Babe......
This effect reminded Naoki of the setting in the game where players catch Pokémon in the hunting zone.
Pokémon battles are not allowed in the hunting zone, so regular capture methods simply don't work there.
Trainers who want to catch Pokémon can only use the energy blocks purchased from the entrance to lure those wild Pokémon and then take them in.
It's just that power cubes like this specific Pokémon are still very rare.
Naoki pinched the energy cube in his hand and looked at the taster, so Leton, and habitually asked, "Do you want to try it?" ”
So Lerton shook his head frantically: "Ahh ”
It poked the Poké Ball hanging from Naoki's waist, looked embarrassed, said that it really couldn't eat it, and motioned for Naoki to let other Pokémon come and try it.
Naoki: "......" is still forgotten.
Naoki couldn't help but fall into deep thought, this energy cube is made of tree fruits, it stands to reason, why won't it be so unpalatable?
After a moment's thought, he pinched his nose and ate an energy cube like he had tried durian for the first time.
Bitter, sour, astringent, an indescribable taste rushed straight to the heavenly spirit cover.
In the next second, Naoki felt his skull begin to smoke, and his stomach began to churn wildly.
He turned around and buried his face in the trash can - "Gross! ”
As soon as Yu Hui came in after finishing his work, he saw Naoki throwing up there holding a trash can.
As soon as she saw this scene, she immediately knew what was going on.
Yu Hui couldn't help but smile: "It seems that you have made an unpalatable energy cube!" ”
Naoki looked up with a pale face: "Miss Yuhui......"
"Don't worry, this kind of thing is a must for every Pokémon breeder." Yu Hui said with a smile.
She stepped forward to check Naoki's energy cube making site, and then said, "It seems that you have preliminarily mastered the method of making energy cubes, so next, I should teach you more in-depth content." ”
Naoki drank a bottle of sugar water to relieve the uncomfortable feeling in his stomach.
Hearing this, he was a little surprised: "More in-depth content? ”
Yu Hui nodded: "Only novice cultivators can use machines to make energy cubes, while some top cultivators tend to slowly polish energy cubes by hand. ”
"Compared to the former, the latter is more difficult, but correspondingly, the quality of the energy cubes carefully polished by the cultivator will be better, this is the production process I wrote down, you can take a look."
Yu Hui handed over a piece of paper with words written on it.
Naoki stretched out his hand to take it, and he saw the process of making energy cubes by hand on it.
Baking, melting, boiling, mixing, compressing, coagulation......
Each piece of content is complex and takes several times as long as a machine.
Yu Hui: "There are only a limited number of energy cubes that machines can make, because their capacity is fixed, and they can only be mixed with a maximum of five tree fruits. ”
"And if it's handmade, it's not necessarily, for example, the famous Big Stomach King Energy Cube, that kind of special energy cube is made by hand."
"Combine and compress the essence of dozens of tree fruits, and finally make a small energy cube, which only needs one energy cube to feed a big stomach king Pokémon like Kirbymon."
Hearing this, Naoki instantly understood.
"So, some specific energy cubes can only be crafted by hand?" He asked.
"That's right." Yu Hui nodded: "After all, a machine is just a machine, even if it is a large tree fruit conditioning machine, there is no way to compare it with manual labor, because there is no way to make energy cubes with temperature and emotion from a cold machine." ”
Naoki nodded thoughtfully.
He had thought that if the process of making the energy cube was so simple, he would just need to buy a machine and go back.
But for now, that alone is not enough.
"Whoa!" Yu Hui handed over a recipe again: "This is the basic recipe for the Big Stomach King Energy Cube, the energy cube made from it, only one is needed, and you can fill the stomach of Pokémon like Little Kirbymon, you can try to make it?" ”
Naoki reached out and took it.
[Basic Big Stomach King Energy Cube Recipe: Peach Fruit x2, Orange Orange Fruit x1, Cutberry Fruit x1, Eggplant Fruit x2, 1/3 Banana Fruit, Effect: Provide basic nutrition for Pokémon, which can fill Pokémon's belly.] ]
Yu Hui: "There's a pot over there, you try it first, and I'll give you guidance on the side." ”
"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Yuhui."
Naoki thanked him, then found the corresponding fruit recorded in the recipe and peeled and pitted them and cleaned them.
The fruits are then boiled and melted in a pot in order until they become a crystal clear jam.
Yu Hui observed on the side: "There are very few impurities in it, it meets the qualified requirements, it seems that the cleaning work of Ling is done very well, okay, let's put in the seasoned banana fruit." ”
"This fruit is soft and melts easily, so it should be put last, and its role is to sweeten the energy cubes and make the taste better."
Naoki looked at the pot attentively, and when he saw that it was almost time, he turned off the heat, then took out the jam, sifted off the residue, and then poured it into a professional machine for compression.
When the compression is finished, it comes to the last step, which is put into the mold to solidify the form.
Soon, all the preparations were completed, and five small steaming energy cubes made from seven tree fruits were freshly baked.
Naoki looked down, and the information of these energy cubes came to his mind.
[Beginner Big Stomach King Energy Cube (C+): Cooking effect, Big Stomach King, is an energy cube that can bring a sense of satiety to Pokémon, and only one is needed to fill the stomach of Little Kirbymon and Pokémon with appetite under it. ]
"Not bad!" Yu Hui gave him an appreciative look: "It's the same with handmade energy cubes, you need to find different recipes by yourself, in addition to this way, you can also buy the recipes developed by other cultivators. ”
"It's also a way for breeders to make money, and if you find a rare energy cube recipe one day, you can sell it to the Breeders' Guild and other breeders."
Hearing this, Naoma thought of the [Poison Babby Food] that he had just researched, that kind of energy cube that could be used to attract Poison Babie's Pokémon.
It's just that Poison Babby is not in the United Nation area, and although the Ultimate Cave will randomly appear around the world, the probability of encountering it here is still too low.
"By the way, Miss Yu Hui, do you have a pen here? I'd like to write down the recipe for the energy cube I just made. Naoki said, he was mainly afraid that he would forget about it when he turned around.
"Of course." Yuhui took out a pen from her pocket.
Naoki wrote down the recipe for the poison babe food.
In order to consolidate the method of making the energy cube, Naoki stayed in the Cultivators Association for the next few days to practice.
During this period, Adek had only been here once or twice, and after learning that Naoki was practicing, he didn't bother him, turned around and went about his business.
Vulcan Moth's body has healed, the current champion position of the United Alliance is still vacant, and until a new champion appears, Adek feels that he has to take on the role of champion and guide more trainers to meet Pokémon.
For Adek's sudden return and change, the other four Heavenly Kings of the United Alliance were all taken aback.
This shock was even worse when he learned that the Vulcan Moth, which was about to die, had returned to its peak.
While Naoki was busy practicing making energy cubes, the situation in the outside world was also changing dramatically at the same time.
The city of Canvas is especially lively these days.
Luxury cruise ships, private jets, and special flights have arrived in Fanba City one after another.
Sakaki, a famous entrepreneur in the Kanto region, the heir of the Dragon Family and the Dragon King and champion of the Kanto region, and Dr. Oki, a leading figure in Pokémon research.
President of Zvoch of Dewen Company in the Hoenn region.
Sirona, the strongest champion of the Sinnoh region, Gadelia, the super king of the United region, and Wanlong, the ghost king.
Carlos Regional Champion and Big Star Carluni.
and many wealthy families in the Padia region, the owner of Lothom Technology and his daughter Nimo.
*
Four days later, Naoki finally mastered the art of making energy cubes.
That afternoon, Adek rushed to the Breeders' Guild to find Naoki who was obsessed with making energy cubes with tree fruits.
"How's it going?" Adek asked.
"Almost!" Naoki breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Thanks to Miss Yuhui, now I can also make special energy cubes." ”
"In that case, let's go!" Adek laughed.
Naoki was slightly stunned: "What? ”
Adek: "It's time, the dinner will start soon!" ”
Naoki reacted at this time, realizing what Adek said, and he was very surprised: "So fast?!" ”
Adek twitched the corners of his mouth: "It's been four days since you arrived in the United Domain, and I just received news that all the guests who came to the banquet have arrived, so it's just us." ”
Hearing this, Naotama put down what he was doing, and he had not forgotten the business of his visit to the United Region this time - handing over the proposal for the Lothom smartphone to the boss of Lothom Technology.
It's four o'clock in the afternoon, and the dinner will soon begin.
Before leaving, Naoki wanted to find Yue, thank her, and say goodbye to her, but learned from others that Yuhui had left the Pokémon Society and traveled to other cities.
Naoki didn't know what to say for a while.
Adek, who was on the side, comforted: "Don't worry! She must know your intentions, and I will help you thank her when I turn around! ”
Naoki: "Then please. "For now, that's all it takes.
So, Naoki stepped out of the door of the Breeders' Association and set off for the venue of the dinner under the guidance of Adek.
Adek drove a sedan through the streets of the city of Fanba, and after crossing several streets, the car stopped in front of a mansion estate on the edge of the city.
It was evening, and the place had already gathered a lot of people, and the manor was brightly lit.
Gentlemen in suits, ladies of wealthy families in dresses with elegant manners, boys and girls in small suits and tuxedos and tuxedos, and some young men dressed as trainers entered the manor one after another.
It just looks very high-class, and at first glance it is a meeting place for the upper class.
Naoki, who has only seen this scene in TV dramas, feels like a hillbilly who has entered the city for the first time, and he is inevitably a little nervous.
The people present were all wealthy ladies, and he was the only one who was a farmer in the countryside, which felt so strange......
Adek turned off the car: "It's here, this place is big, right?" It's all the industry of Boss Chrysanthemum! ”
Naoki: "Oooh! ”
Adeke turned his head and saw Naoki looking a little nervous.
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you nervous?" ”
Naoki is also not afraid of Adek's jokes: "I'm just a farmer and I've never been to this kind of place." ”
His identity is too out of place here.
"Don't be afraid!" Adek comforted: "Even if you are a farmer, you are the best farmer!" Trainers who can't even beat farmers when they go back and fight against them, they should be nervous! ”
Naoki: "......"
Adek got out of the car, didn't care about Naoki, and began to greet the old Leton behind him: "So Leton, get out of the car quickly, I'll take you to eat something good!" ”
"Ahh As soon as he heard that he could eat other things, his eyes immediately glowed green, and he jumped out of the car, followed Adik, and looked back at Naoki.
Naoki followed helplessly.
After Adek's comfort, he didn't have such stage fright in his heart.
After all, what Adek said is also right, if you are calm and not humble, there will be no problem.
Thinking about this, Naoki suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Although Adek looks rough on the outside, he is a very caring person.
Avoiding the rest of his acquaintances, he took Naoki and Guleton through the garden, and soon found himself in an area where all kinds of food and wine were kept.
At this moment, many guests dressed as trainers and Pokémon have gathered here, and they are enjoying the food here with Pokémon.
Adek also released his Vulcan Moth and asked it to eat Luffy's same big chicken leg with Gu Leton.
He himself took two glasses of red wine from the hand of a passing waiter, and handed one of them to Naoki: "Let's have a drink first!" There is still some time before the banquet starts. ”
Naoki stretched out his hand to take it and took a sip with Adek, he was about to say something, but suddenly he heard a voice from behind.
"Huh? Mr. Adek? ”
Adeke, who heard the voice, turned around and was not surprised at all when he saw the visitor, but laughed: "It's Wanlong and Gadelia?" It's been a long time, how are you doing? ”
The blonde girl named Gadelia showed a slightly speechless expression on her face: "You are still like this!" ”
As the three of them talked, Naoki turned his gaze to the blonde lady who had not spoken to her side as she accompanied Wanlong and Gardelia.
The eyes of the two made contact in mid-air, and Sirona bowed slightly politely, and then looked at Adek: "Long time no see, Adek." ”
"You're here for this banquet too, Miss Zhulan? I thought I wouldn't see you this year! Adek laughed.
Sirona smiled.
On the side, Wanlong and Gadelia quietly turned their eyes to the young man standing beside Adek.
Adek: "Oh, I almost forgot, I haven't introduced you yet, this is my friend, Naoki, a champion trainer from the Padia region. ”
"Naoki, these two are the ghost king Wanlong of the United Nation region, and the super king Gadelia, this one here has a big background, she is the champion of the Sinnoh region, Sirona."
