Chapter 141: Chapter 140: A Big-Mouthed Black Bass in the Puddle?_1
Translator: 549690339
Nanwu Town.
Ever since a super miniature secret realm appeared, the number of wild pokemon nearby the town has increased.
However, most of the wild pokemon were harmless ones like Magikarp, Caterpie, and Pidgey.
Among them, the dangerously wild pokemon from the secret location were more likely to be sent to the back mountains of South Service Town, where the Pingcheng Trainer Association had established a Ranger Defense Line to look after them.
Decades of experience dealing with secret realms has allowed the Trainer Association to master a complete process for handling them.
So the residents of Nanwu Town were hardly affected.
"Doctor He, long time no see."
During the Spring Festival, after returning to Nanwu Town with his parents, Fang Yuan revisited the Spirit Center here after a long absence to see Doctor He Haifei, who had taken good care of them before.
"Yo, it's Fang Yuan."
At this moment, Fang Yuan was considered a bit of a celebrity in this small Spirit Center of Nanwu Town.
The battle video from the Little Phoenix King Cup had been circulated countless times among the staff of the Spirit Center.
All thanks to Doctor He...
Spirit Center.
Dressed in a white lab coat, Doctor He Haifei walked out of a room, looked at the now taller Fang Yuan, and asked, "Home for the holiday?"
"Yeah," Fang Yuan said with a smile.
The Eevee perched on Fang Yuan's shoulder also waved its paw as a greeting; it too remembered this devilish doctor.
"That's good. Although it's a holiday, don't relax too much. A trainer... should take advantage of being young and put in some effort with their pokemon," Doctor He Haifei said with a smile. "I'll be working overtime here during the Spring Festival. If Eevee gets hurt during training, you can come to me."
"No problem, Eevee, aren't you going to thank Doctor He quickly?"
Eevee: "???"
Looking at Eevee's embarrassed situation, both of them laughed, and Fang Yuan did not tease Little Eevee anymore. It was the holidays... of course, he would give Eevee a break to rest for a few days.
After all, he wasn't a devil.
That being said—
But if Eevee took it upon itself to work, that had nothing to do with Fang Yuan.
During the Spring Festival, Fang Yuan primarily researched new energy block recipes.
And made more of those light blue energy blocks that could enhance spiritual power and Beauty Degree.
Seeing Fang Yuan and the Little Magnetic Monster preparing delicious foods, Eevee immediately became restless, fearing that if it didn't work, it wouldn't get its share of energy blocks.
After such a long time, the light blue energy blocks could be said to be their best work yet.
Another point was the gray energy blocks they researched during the Spring Festival.
Black, white, gray, light blue.
These were the colors of the finished energy blocks they had produced so far.
Among them, the light blue energy blocks were the most effective, greatly benefiting both Eevee and the Little Magnetic Monster.
The worst were the black energy blocks, which were simply not fit for pokemon consumption, a complete failure among the failures.
White and gray energy blocks, although they appeared to be of better quality than the black ones, were still limited in improvement and had a very peculiar taste. The flavor of the Tree Fruit hadn't fully integrated, and both Eevee and the Little Magnetic Monster could not accept them.
But there were exceptions, like the newly researched formula during this period.
Although the finished product was still gray, the Little Magnetic Monster unexpectedly accepted the taste and liked it very much. As for the effect, it was currently unknown.
It could be that there was no effect, or perhaps the effect was too poor to show any significant results in the short term.
However... while the Little Magnetic Monster could accept it, Eevee could not. It had only taken one bite before spitting it out.
Still inedible.
This point... Fang Yuan could understand. After all, each pokemon's taste preferences are different.
Energy blocks were always like this: different pokemon with different personalities favor different tastes. If a pokemon ate an energy block with a flavor it liked, the corresponding nutritional effect would be better.
This difference in the absorption of nutrients from energy blocks, Fang Yuan speculated, might be related to individual differences among Pokemon.
"Bwoo..."
In the kitchen, Eevee went on strike once again, showing its displeasure on its face.
After studying energy blocks for such a long time, the only outcome was discovering the type that Magnemite could eat, causing Eevee's mood to explode.
Upon seeing this, Little Magnetic Monster immediately pushed its light blue energy block in front of Eevee in an attempt to appease it.
Little Magnetic Monster was very sensible, which slowly eased Eevee's mood...
Straight after, Eevee looked towards Fang Yuan, hoping he would also be sensible.
Its "board of directors" already had one member, the Little Magnetic Monster, and now what Eevee most wanted was to absorb Fang Yuan into the "Eevee board of directors" as well.
However, Fang Yuan paid no attention to Eevee.
He glanced at the date and sighed:
"How about this, Eevee, I'll take you out to train your teeth a bit."
"???" Eevee was puzzled, unsure what he meant.
Was he taking it out for a feast?
"We've only just collected a bit of data for the paper on Magikarp's Timid characteristic. Before school starts, let's go collect some more! Otherwise, once school begins, we'll have no chance. Although I'm not asking you to actually eat Magikarp, when using the Bite Technique to search for Magikarp's Timid characteristic... it's also considered a way to train your teeth. That way, food will taste even better in the future," Fang Yuan said with a chuckle.
"Bwoo?!"
Eevee's eyes widened, and it immediately lay down and started rolling around.
Making it chase after those salted fish to bite again?
Absolutely not!
Magikarp, which was practically all bones, could hardly train one's teeth. Eevee suspected Fang Yuan was raising it like a dog...
No wait! Even Lin Jing's Growlithe might not have it as hard as it did.
...
In the end, Fang Yuan and Eevee still left the house.
After all, where there's a will, there's a way, and Eevee had yet to outwit Demon King Fang Yuan.
Near the back mountain of Nanwu Town, there was a river.
There were many Water-type Spirits inhabiting there, but to approach the mainstream, one had to get past the ranger defense line, which was very troublesome.
So he simply gave up, and also, to find a Pokemon like Magikarp, there was no need for such a fuss.
Magikarp had a strong survival ability. It could live in the dirtiest water and even survive on land without water for a long time.
In the sea, rivers, ponds, and even puddles... they were to be found everywhere. Therefore, Fang Yuan should be able to find Magikarp in the tributaries of this river or some smaller puddles.
As for whether or not he could find a Magikarp with the Timid characteristic, that would depend on Fang Yuan's luck.
Fang Yuan first came to a puddle, which could also be called a pond. This place, being close to a tributary of the river, often had Magikarp that leaped onto the land and then couldn't find their way back, ending up here.
"Eevee, you look around," Fang Yuan called out to Eevee, and he also began to observe the nearby environment with his eyes.
The green pond water was neither clear nor turbid. As the water hole wasn't very deep, Fang Yuan could barely make out the situation inside the water.
Suddenly.
A red Magikarp with what looked like a golden crown on its head swam by, catching Fang Yuan's eye.
There really were Magikarp here.
But before Fang Yuan could observe further, he froze in place.
Because what emerged from the mud at that moment... was a Spirit that looked like a big-mouthed black bass with a pitted body, which captured all his attention.
"Is this..."
