This is... Kuailong?
Looking at the outline of the black shadow, Kuailong's chubby and round body immediately appeared in Naoki's mind.
He wanted to ask Yosuke about this Pokémon, but when he looked up, he saw him looking attentive and painting seriously.
Naoki thought for a while and decided not to disturb the other person now.
He continued to look at the picture book in his hand.
However, because his thoughts were completely attracted by the dragon, Naoki showed a lack of interest in the following Pokémon such as the Tree Monster, the King of Leave, and the Porcupine.
About an hour passed before the man finally stopped writing.
Looking at his painting, he had an expression of surprise on his face: "Perfect finish! Look at it!"
As he spoke, he handed the paper with Gu Ledun painted on it to Naoki.
On the drawing paper, Guluton was lying next to Naoki with a peaceful expression, his big head leaning on his legs.
Naoki, on the other hand, was looking at the book in his hand intently. This scene looked natural and warm.
"Awesome!" Naoki gave a thumbs up and asked, "Have you been learning to draw for a long time?"
Yosuke scratched his head: "Actually, not really. My parents signed me up for a painting class. I only attended it for three months and then ran out to travel. I am still practicing."
Naoki didn't know much about this.
Yosuke put away his pen with satisfaction, closed the picture book, and asked with interest:
"But then again, you are also a trainer who is traveling outside, right?"
"No." Zhi Shu shook his head: "I am a rancher and I am currently running a ranch. If you need eggs, you can go to Zhi Shu Ranch east of Zhiqin Town to buy them."
While answering, Naoki did not forget to promote a wave of things from his own ranch.
After hearing this, Yosuke couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Rancher?"
"uh-huh!"
"Okay." Yosuke opened his mouth and said, "I originally thought you were a trainer who came to the Cauldron Lake to collect Pokémon. There are many kinds of Pokémon living in the Cauldron Lake. I often see trainers coming here to tame Pokémon.”
Speaking of wild Pokémon, Naoki took advantage of the situation and spread out the page with the suspected dragon in front of him: "Is this Pokémon still here?"
"You mean it? It's still there!" Yosuke said in surprise: "Are you also interested in it?"
Naoki didn't deny it, "If it's convenient, can you tell me about it?"
"Of course!" Yosuke recounted as he recalled, "I discovered it a week ago."
"At that time, I was investigating a Pokémon that is not found in the Galar region on the island in the lake on the west side of Cauldron Lake. It mimicked the appearance of sushi."
"Out of curiosity, I wanted to take a closer look, but for some reason, I was suddenly attacked by a Chihouba."
"In panic, I fell into the lake and was chased crazily by a group of cods. Just like that, I was washed by the lake to a cliff beside the lake. When I raised my head, I saw this Pokémon sitting on it. Look at the moon from the top of the cliff.”
"But Cauldron Lake gets foggy in the evening, and I can't see what it looks like. I can only see a blurry shadow."
"There is no such Pokémon in the Galar region. I was attracted to it and started observing it. Later I found that it would come up on time at seven o'clock every night."
"Stay there until five o'clock in the morning the next day, and then fly back to the sea on time. No matter it's windy or rainy, it's very punctual!"
"It's a pity that I don't have a flying Pokémon, so I can't go up to such a high place."
Yosuke's face was filled with regret, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered that there was a flying Pokémon in front of him!
Yosuke's eyes suddenly lit up: "Can you take me to see its true appearance? I just want to see it!"
"Yes, yes..." Naoki hesitated.
The mysterious Pokémon won't come until seven o'clock in the evening, but he can't stay here for too long. He has to go back to handle the work of the ranch and prepare dinner for several Pokémon.
After thinking for a moment, Naoki asked: "It will stay here all night and won't leave in the middle, right?"
Yosuke nodded: "That's right."
Naoki: "That's it. I'll come back after seven o'clock in the evening."
He told them that there was still work waiting for him to do at the ranch.
Yosuke nodded immediately: "No problem, I will wait for you here!"
After the two made an agreement, Zhi Shu rode Gu Ledun and left the watchtower.
He looked at the five Poké Balls in his hand and began to think about which Pokémon to choose to take back to the ranch.
First of all, for the current stage of the ranch, salt stone treasure is the most needed.
Because its salt production and value are very high.
According to the ranch book given by Mayor Thomas, Pokémon like Saltstone will rub against the ground whenever they move, thus producing salt particles.
Therefore, people will build a special salt house for it and lay a special storage membrane on the floor.
On average, a salt stone treasure can produce a small bag of about 500 grams of rock salt every five days.
The market price of such a small bag of rock salt is 3,000 alliance coins.
The reason why it is so expensive is that rock salt is very rich in minerals, and long-term consumption is of great benefit to humans and Pokémon.
Not only that, this rock salt can also be used directly on Pokémon to heal their injuries very quickly.
Excluding the cost of raising them, one can earn more than 2,500 alliance coins in five days, which is 15,000 in a month. If you raise ten, you can earn 150,000 in a month.
And after they evolve into salt stone barriers and salt stone giants, their salt production will increase.
If the rancher does not abuse Salt Shibao, in addition to feeding them, he is also willing to spend time playing with them every day to make them happy, pay attention to their health, and prevent them from getting sick.
So for this rancher, it will be a huge profit.
Thinking of this, Naoki made Gullton fly to the place where the salt stone treasure was found according to the location in his memory.
It is located on the east side of Cauldron Lake, in a rocky area near Frostmoon Mountain.
There is a cave in the back, which seems to be where the Salt Stone Treasures live.
Zhi Shu gently patted Gulton's neck, and Gulton hissed, and then landed clearly in front of the cave.
Several salt stone treasures that were playing with each other in the sun on the rocks felt the strange smell, and they panicked and fled back to the cave.
Naoki: "..." Is he so scary?
Although he failed in the first battle, Naoki was not discouraged.
He took out the delicacies he was proud of - salted dried fish and salted plums.
Because he was worried that suddenly breaking into the cave would scare the group of salt and stone treasures, Naoki did not choose to enter. Instead, he stood outside and started throwing small dried fish and plums inside.
