Chapter 1320 A Little Photo of My Obedient Disciple
"Master~ Master~"
A sweet, soft call drifted through the window, as if offering a greeting, or perhaps as if afraid of disturbing someone's rest.
Kashiwagi said, "Please come in, I'm awake now."
"Good~"
Xiao Zhao chuckled and pulled open the door to enter.
A blue tatami mat surrounds a blazing charcoal fire pit, with Cypress sitting cross-legged beside it, tending to Mawile's important mandibles.
Next to it are Hydreigon, Blissey, and other Pokémon whose fur has already been groomed.
Even the shiny Gengar looked as if its skin was coated with lard, reflecting a full halo under the light.
Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up, "Master~ what are you doing?"
"Giving Pokémon a healthy body is a key factor in improving their combat power."
Kashiwagi beckoned to her Pikachu, "Come here."
"Pickup?"
The yellow-skinned mouse approached in confusion, only to have its cheeks pinched. The touch on its sensitive area caused it to instinctively release an electric current.
Zizi!
Xiao Zhao let out a gasp, but Bai Mu continued to knead without changing his expression, and the lightning released from his cheek pouches visibly shrank.
After he rubbed it a couple more times, Pikachu had already snuggled comfortably into his arms.
"Pikachu~~~"
The coquettish cry left Xiao Zhao speechless. "Master, didn't you feel anything when you were electrocuted?"
“I wore insulated gloves.”
Kashiwagi smiled and waved his hands.
Gloves are a must when grooming, otherwise the static electricity from the three-headed dragon's black fur alone will keep crackling for a long time.
Insulating gloves?
Xiao Zhao curiously leaned closer to take a look, and couldn't help but reach out to touch it. Sure enough, she felt a thin, elastic protective layer.
"Amazing!"
At this moment, Xiao Zhao has transformed into a superhuman, finding everything amazing.
Kashiwa generously shared a spare pair of insulated gloves with her.
"From now on, you'll have to do these things yourself. Making your Pokémon comfortable is very important for a trainer."
"Mmmmmmm!"
Xiao Zhao nodded repeatedly.
Then, she took out a wooden Poké Ball and said, "Master! Let me show you my new partner!"
boom!
The Poké Ball is activated.
Unlike modern Poké Balls, which emit bursts of light, the Green Poké Ball only emits white mist.
After the mist dissipated, a fire rock rat stood in place.
"What?"
It curiously observed its surroundings, and when it discovered that terrifying Pokémon such as Hydreigon were close at hand, a strong sense of fear immediately welled up in its heart.
The fire rock rat quickly curled up into a fluffy ball, like a hedgehog.
Xiao Zhao looked completely confused. "Huh?"
She crouched down next to the Rock Rat and poked it with her finger. "Hey, hey, hey? Cheer up!"
no response.
Xiao Zhao stood up, looking troubled, and said, "Pikachu and I went through a lot of trouble to catch it!"
"You're timid by nature? That suits you perfectly."
Kashiwagi thought that the Emerald Firestorm Beast in the game needed this kind of personality.
After taking care of Mawile's massive jaws, this morning's Pokémon grooming was only just getting started.
The big guys coming up next are the real highlight of the day.
After asking Xiao Zhao for a vacant lot near the water, Kashiwagi began to maintain the enormous creatures such as the Shiny Milotic, Aggron, and Steelix. Half a day passed by in the midst of his busy work.
During the maintenance process, Xiao Zhao followed him around the whole time, helping to fetch water and hand him tools, being extremely attentive.
"Happy..."
"Bonnie~"
Lucky Egg and Evil Pon had their jobs taken away, and they looked at the girl helplessly.
Kashiwagi was also very grateful for Kosho's help and generously used his best cooking skills to treat her. Looking at Kosho's happy smile as she ate, he couldn't help but think of her descendant, Hikaru.
Genes are truly amazing!
During the conversation, Kashiwagi learned that Dr. Laben had gone to the Red Lotus Wetland to investigate the local ecology.
Perhaps because there was no supporting character, he had to personally travel across the Green Lands, recording the various Pokémon he discovered.
Are you free this afternoon?
After careful consideration, Bai Mu decided to take Xiao Zhao out to broaden her horizons.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao hurriedly agreed, "Yes! Of course! Master, will you take me to the wilderness?"
"Yes, I have something to do at Xinqi Lake."
Kashiwagi recalls the location of the next stone slab.
I remember you need to subdue the gods of the lake... I think defeating them should also work, right?
It's possible to just say something!
Xiao Zhao hopped up like a little rabbit, "I'll go back and get ready! Master, wait for me!"
"Go directly to the village entrance in a bit!"
"Good~"
She went home to prepare the necessary tools for going out.
Not long after.
The two met at the village entrance.
Xiao Zhao returned carrying a small cloth bag. Unfortunately, Xi Cui Era doesn't have the kind of "space compression" black technology of the future, nor can it expand its capacity by spending money like in the game.
She carries very little with her.
Seeing this, Kashiwagi simply gave her his old bag, saying, "This is the bag I used when I traveled before. It can hold a lot of things. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, Master!"
Xiao Zhao responded sweetly, and naturally she wouldn't mind.
Compared to her cloth bag, Kashiwagi's bag is much more exquisite, with only slight signs of use, showing that it is regularly maintained.
Xiao Zhao took it and eagerly looked through it, and was immediately surprised to find that the interior space was huge, dozens of times larger than her bag!
"this!"
The little girl's eyes widened.
Kashiwagi laughed and said, "There may only be one or two of these cutting-edge technologies in the whole world. Use them carefully and don't let anyone find out about them."
Xiao Zhao nodded repeatedly, as happy as a child receiving a birthday present, sometimes hugging Pikachu and spinning around, sometimes pulling on the paw of a Fire Rock Rat and spinning around.
They even took turns putting the two Pokémon into their bag and then taking them out again.
"Haha~ That's great!"
She kept smiling the whole time, until she was completely out of the Zhuqing Village area and could see wild Pokémon with the naked eye.
Xiao Zhao instinctively darted into the bushes, causing Bai Mu and his companion, Xingfu Dan, to look at her strangely.
"Uh, sorry, Master, it's just a habit."
She scratched her head and got up.
The investigation team mainly investigated the ecology of wild Pokémon, and regardless of the type of Pokémon, it is difficult for them to come into easy contact with humans.
Xiao Zhao usually has to hide in the grass to observe things slowly.
Kashiwagi laughed and said, "It's okay, I'll teach you a couple more tricks when I have time. You can actually learn more by observing Pokémon from a distance than by getting up close and personal with them."
"Among the people I know, there is a great person who is often attacked by Pokémon. He said that if you want to become a great Pokémon professor, you must become friends with every Pokémon."
Wow! That's amazing!
Xiao Zhao's eyes sparkled with admiration; she was clearly being completely swayed.
The two walked quickly into the depths.
As people move away from Zhuqing Village, the types of Pokémon change, and their habits change from avoiding people to actively approaching them.
Kashiwagi had been busy traveling and hadn't really observed the ecology of the Greenery. Only now did he realize that there were quite a few large-sized boss Pokémon.
There won't be that many large wild Pokémon in the future; just seeing a giant Steelix is already amazing enough.
Humans have reduced the habitat of Pokémon, leading to a sharp decline in the number of large Pokémon to the point of near extinction...
"master!"
Xiao Zhao suddenly spoke up.
Kashiwa turned her head in confusion and saw the little girl pointing to the tree full of glistening silk threads and the stinging insects that kept crawling by, saying with a hint of apprehension, "This area is the habitat of poisonous white butterflies and hunting swallowtail butterflies. They are very fierce!"
In the encyclopedia, the Swallowtail Butterfly is described as a carnivorous insect. While it's not as terrifying in the anime, it's still a ferocious creature.
Kashiwa patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of poisonous white butterflies and hunting swallowtail butterflies emerged from the woods. They flapped their wings from afar, continuously releasing golden and purple powder, which turned into a lingering mist that spread over.
Xiao Zhao immediately pulled off her headscarf to cover her face, "Master! This is a mixture of poison and paralyzing powder! It'll be very troublesome if you accidentally inhale it!"
"I know."
Kashiwagi himself had developed a whole host of paralyzing, poisonous, and sleep-inducing bombs, so naturally he couldn't forget them.
A faint purple light suddenly appeared, completely isolating the powder.
Xiao Zhao looked around, "What's this?"
"Mysterious Guardian, once your Pikachu evolves into Raichu, it will also learn this move."
Kashiwagi taught her Pokémon knowledge in detail, from the effects of Guardian to the classification of status conditions.
Xiao Zhao listened very attentively, knowing full well that these were valuable experiences accumulated by her master.
In this era, anything related to Pokémon is considered a closely guarded secret. Xiao Zhao's parents had had enough of this, which is why they took him to Team Galactic.
Team Galaxy's philosophy is—to develop together, to share generously; to each fulfill their role, and to build a home!
The two walked and talked, during which the hunting swallowtail butterfly and the poisonous moth tried to attack, but were all caught by the psychic power of the happy egg and thrown far away.
How can Poison-type Pokémon get rid of psychic powers?
Kashiwagi emphasized the issue of attribute compatibility, stating, "You can infer their attributes based on the moves they use and their appearance colors."
"property……"
The little photo looks like it's listening to a foreign language.
The classification of Pokémon by attributes was proposed by Professor Oak a century later, while the classification of Pokémon at that time was still rudimentary.
She tried to write it down in her notebook, but it was difficult to do so while walking, and she nearly bumped into tree trunks several times.
Just as Xiao Zhao was about to put her notebook away in frustration, Happy Egg kindly supported her, "Happy~"
"It says it's protecting you as you go," the multi-faceted phone explained.
Xiao Zhao was overwhelmed with gratitude, "Thank you so much!"
Pikachu, with its two heads peeking out of the backpack, silently made a mental note of it.
The topic of Pokémon evolution was quickly brought up again.
Kashiwagi said, "Pikachu only needs one Thunder Stone to evolve into Raichu."
"Thunder Stone?"
Xiao Zhao tilted her head.
Kashiwagi took her notebook and drew the Thunder Stone. "This is it."
"Ah! I've seen it before! The Ginkgo Merchant Guild sells it!" Xiao Zhao exclaimed excitedly, hugging Pikachu who was staring at the laptop. "You can evolve now!"
"Pika pika~"
Pikachu happily twirled its ears.
Without a doubt, Ash's Pikachu is a one-of-a-kind creature, so letting a regular Pikachu evolve into Raichu would definitely be the best thing for it.
We crossed a high mountain.
Bai Mu and Xiao Zhao saw the vast Xinqi Lake.
"See that island in the middle of the lake? That's where we're going."
He pointed to a small island in the distance.
Xiao Zhao raised his hand to shield his eyes from the sun and gazed into the distance, asking, "How do we get there? Should we use your Pokémon, Master?"
"Fly directly."
Kashiwa snapped his fingers, and the two were immediately enveloped in blue light and flew towards the island in the middle of the lake.
With the combined power of the Lucky Egg and the multi-faceted mobile phone, the flight speed is quite fast.
Xiao Zhao was having her first experience, and she was so flustered that she almost fell into the lake, forcing the multi-faceted mobile phone to increase the coverage intensity of her mental energy.
When Xiao Zhao realized she couldn't move, she actually felt relieved.
Soon, the two arrived at their destination, the island in the middle of the lake.
The phone turned on its flashlight, and the bright light immediately tore through the darkness of the opening, allowing Bai Mu and Xiao Zhao to see the situation inside.
The interior is not complicated; it consists of large, hollow caves.
There was standing water on the ground, and nothing else.
What about Emredo?
Cypress stood in the cave, looking around, lost in deep thought. Was it not home today?
Xiao Zhao looked around curiously. "Master, what are you looking for?"
"The Gods of the Lake".
Kashiwagi said, "Arceus created time, space, and antimatter, and then brought emotions, will, and wisdom to the world. What I'm looking for is Emrido, who represents emotions."
The gods of the lakes are nicknamed the Three Sacred Mushrooms because they resemble mushrooms. Lake Heartqi is the dwelling place of Emrido, the god of love.
"Isn't it here?"
Xiao Zhao didn't see the so-called God of Love. "Did he go find something to eat nearby?"
Kashiwagi: "...It's not impossible."
Compared to the legendary Pokémon that sleep for years, the mythical Pokémon often like to roam around, with Mew being the most iconic example.
It appears everywhere, playing pranks and leaving unrealistic fantasies in the minds of teenagers.
'I must capture Dream!'
Then he secretly gloated to himself in a corner.
This is a dream.
The two left the Heartlake Cave and wandered around the area for a long time, observing the wild Pokémon in the vicinity while searching for Mesprit.
As a result, they couldn't find Emredo, but they found one Green Golem.
Although it wasn't as large as the one we'd seen before, it still looked like a leader.
"Master, do you want to subdue it?"
Xiao Zhao noticed that Bai Mu had been staring at her for a long time, and assumed that he had something on his mind.
Kashiwagi shook his head and said, "No, I just remembered a Pokémon I've seen before."
The departure of the three-headed dragon must have made it very sad.
Does Garchomp still have a chance?
The two continued to wander around, with Xiao Zhao frantically absorbing knowledge and Bai Mu constantly expelling it.
He plans to attend classes after the school opens in the future.
I can learn some teaching experience from Xiao Zhao so that I won't be at a loss for where to start when I'm on stage to teach.
Time flies.
In the end, Kashiwagi still couldn't find Emredo.
This made him doubtful of Wusi's guidance. "Let's come back and take another look tomorrow."
However, it still didn't happen the next day.
Still nothing on the third day.
Kashiwagi was getting restless. "That guy Emrido—"
Knock knock~
There was a knock on the door, and it was Bei Shang who arrived carrying a package. He also brought some strange news.
"Did your three-headed dragon do something? A Goomy dragon has been pestering the Cave King of the Kongo Team for days, and they've even come to us to complain."
What Kitao said surprised Kashiwagi greatly.
Sticky Dragon?
