Alliance calendar year 198, spring, March 14th.
It's the last month of spring, followed by the scorching heat of summer.
Naoki hated the feeling of being sweaty, so that morning, he took the money he had saved these days to Zhiqin Town, planning to buy some air conditioners.
He rode a motorcycle lizard all the way to the department store in the town. Under the guidance of the shopping guide, he returned to the floor where electrical appliances were sold.
There, he selected four air conditioners and planned to install one in the salt house where Salt Shibao lives, the Pokémon house where Big Milk Tank lives, the chicken house, and the wooden house where he lives.
The 120,000 alliance coins were squandered in an instant. These were the money saved from selling crops, rock salt, milk, and goat milk in the past half month.
Although he was prepared in his heart, Naoki couldn't help but feel a pain in his body when he looked at his wallet that was about to bottom out.
But there is no way, these are necessities of life and must be installed before summer arrives.
The shopping guide was surprised to see this customer purchasing so many air conditioners at once, but still arranged for someone to install them at home.
When all four air conditioners were installed, Naoki suddenly felt relieved.
This way, in the summer, he won’t be too hot to sleep!
Thanks to the addition of the big milk tanks, the ranch's financial problem has been solved, and the ranch has officially entered the next stage - the revitalization stage.
At this stage, Naoki is mainly preparing to do two things.
First, build your own residence and turn it into a real home, a fully functional home with bedrooms, living rooms, cellars, study rooms, and bathrooms.
The bedroom is used for resting, the living room can be used to entertain guests who occasionally visit the ranch, and the study room can be used to keep accounts, read books, and record recipes.
As for the cellar…
Summer will be here in two weeks, and hop planting can officially begin. Without a cellar, it means that he cannot start his brewing business.
In addition, a sum of money must be prepared to purchase wine barrels for brewing.
As for the second thing, that is to plant more summer crops and use them to develop more new dishes.
Then see if there are any dishes that meet the conditions, and then use them to strengthen the Pokémon in the ranch to complete a cycle.
At noon, Naoki started preparing lunch for all the Pokémon.
He opened the refrigerator and looked at the rich ingredients inside, his eyes resting on a jar of golden viscous liquid.
Then, the information about the jar of liquid appeared in his mind.
[Tulip honey: Honey brewed from tulip pollen and nectar. If you taste it carefully, you can taste a faint floral aroma. It is an excellent ingredient for making desserts. ]
This is the honey that Three Bees collected from the flower field recently.
I was shocked at first when I saw them collecting straight trees.
Because he remembered that tulips contain mannose and galactose, two sugars that are poisonous to bees, so bees collecting tulip flowers in that world would die on the flowers.
But it turns out that Pokémon's physique is far beyond what ordinary bees can match.
Although they are all "bees", the nectar of tulips has no effect on the three bees.
Seeing this scene, Naoki felt relieved and let them collect.
It's a pity that the baby bear left too early. If it had been a few days later, he would have been able to eat this new flavor of honey. Naoki thought.
He used all this honey to make lucky pudding, but unfortunately, after making so much, he could not make another pudding with a permanent lucky effect.
But Naoki is not discouraged, because it doesn't matter to him whether it is permanent or not.
Others in the pasture can eat a piece of pudding at any time if they want lucky effects. As long as they keep eating, the effects they bring will be rounded off and permanent.
"I wonder where Baby Bear and Mew are now."
Putting aside the worries in his heart, Naoki began to prepare lunch for Guluton and the others.
Today's lunch is still the same, fried steak and sandwich, plus a cucumber, and a glass of tree juice and moo milk of your choice.
While eating, Naoki looked at Kuailong and thought that he hadn't asked it about the progress of its move practice for a long time, so he asked casually:
"Have you completely mastered the electric-type move Thunder that I told you before?"
Speaking of moves, Kuailong instantly became excited.
"Ouch!" It nodded its big head.
Not only that, it was also able to successfully use the combination of praying for rain + storm + thunder that Naoki told it last time!
"Huh?" Seeing this scene, Naoki was a little surprised: "You are progressing quite quickly!"
"Ouch~"
So after finishing the meal, Kuailong dragged Zhishu outside with his big paws and showed him the staged results he had achieved during this period.
Naoki stood under the eaves, and Luton and Motorized Lizard stood beside him, one on the left and one on the right.
I saw Kuailong flapping its wings and flying into the air.
It held its breath while concentrating, and the originally clear sky was instantly covered with a layer of thick and dense dark clouds, with strands of electrical energy surging in it.
It started to rain.
At first, it was still a light rain, but gradually, the rain became heavier and heavier, forming a series of lines and falling with crackling sounds.
Kuailong was bathed in the heavy rain. Its body was translucent from the rain, and its eyes seemed to have flames beating.
The next second, Kuailong flapped its wings, and a storm formed, mixing with the falling heavy rain, forming a terrifying storm.
Naoki looked at the rather spectacular scene.
If an ordinary Pokémon faced this move without being trained in a special environment, it would probably immediately fall into a panic.
at this time--
Just hear a roar.
A huge flashing thunderbolt struck directly from the thundercloud, creating a large crater in the lawn below.
hiss!
Naoki gasped.
What a terrifying power!
If the Pokémon was hit by that move...he just couldn't imagine it.
At this time, the storm stopped, and the dark clouds above gradually dispersed, revealing the clear blue sky above.
"Bah bang bang!"
Naoki immediately clapped his hands and praised: "It's amazing!"
"Ouch..."
Hearing this, Kuailong landed next to Naoki with some embarrassment and touched his head with his big paws.
Where, it’s still far from enough!
Kuailong couldn't help but think of the mysterious Pokémon that was as black as a swimming dragon that he saw above the eye of the typhoon that day.
Looking at the transformed Kuailong in front of him, Zhi Shu couldn't help but sigh.
Divine Speed, Dragon Tail, Thunder Fist, Storm, High Speed Movement, Dance of Dragons, Praying for Rain, One Hundred Thousand Volts, and Thunder.
Unknowingly, Kuailong has learned so many moves.
Naoki felt as if he had nothing left to teach him.
Thinking of this, Naoki asked: "You have learned so many moves, what are your plans next?"
When Kuailong heard this, he immediately panicked.
Because listening to Naoki's words, it seems to be saying that I have nothing to teach you anymore and you are ready to start teaching!
Is this driving it away?
Kuailong didn't want to leave, and immediately frowned with aggrieved expression: "Ouch..."
Although there is a language barrier between humans and Pokémon, looking at Kuailong's expression, Naoki miraculously understood its meaning at this moment.
He suddenly felt dumbfounded: "I don't want to drive you away, I just want to ask you about your next plans. What I mean is that I will have nothing to teach you soon. By then, you will leave the ranch and return to the ranch." Going to Kuailong Island?"
Naoki did not forget that Kuailong wanted to learn the moves and followed him.
After hearing this, Kuailong fell into deep thought.
In the beginning, it did follow Naoki because it wanted to learn the moves.
but then……
Naoki gave it a fruit platter to help it learn speed.
Naoki asked Guluton to teach him how to use the dragon's tail.
Naoki accompanied him to the sky in the heavy rain to practice thunder and lightning fists and pray for rain, and he even got sick from it.
Because it was worried about Naoki, it learned to move at high speed on the way to deliver milk.
At this moment, Kuailong wasn't just by Naoki's side because he wanted to become stronger.
——It likes this human being and wants to be with him all the time.
