Baimu pushed the door open and walked in. A dazzling array of Pokémon cubes of various colors were neatly stacked on the shelves, catching the eyes of him and his sister Doronmecia.
"Hehe~"
"Hee!"
Sister Duolong's face was full of wonder, and her green tail flicked. Brother Duolong looked at those jars eagerly, and crystal saliva overflowed from the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
Letting a Pokémon enter a Poké Cube store is like a hungry mouse entering a rice barn full of food. If it hadn't been beaten just now, Brother Duolong would have disappeared by now.
Snap!
The sound of snapping fingers called back Brother Duolong's attention.
Kashiwagi forcibly broke off its head, "We'll make it in a while, don't keep staring at others, you know?"
"Hehe?"
Brother Duolong tilted his head. So far, it is difficult for him to fully understand human language, unlike his sister, who has gradually begun to become familiar with and understand it.
This also proves that its learning ability is not as good as its sister.
Seeing its confused look, Kashiwagi grabbed its small triangular head and brought it to the side of the fruit processing machine. He took out the many fruits in the bag and either sliced them, squeezed the juice, or stuffed them whole into the machine.
Different from portable fruit processors, the processors in specialty stores can stuff more fruits and produce a large number of Poké Cubes at one time.
At the same time, it can produce multiple recipes in parallel. Unlike the portable one, which can only make one flavor at a time.
With the advent of the Internet era, many people are keen to share their Poké Cube formulas online, and a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend. Everyone categorically states that their formula is the most effective.
The formula he currently chooses is the formula he got from the cheap teacher Lucia. The quality of the Poké Cubes is relatively stable. At least five out of ten Pokmon Cubes are powerful Pokmon Cubes, and occasionally powerful rainbow-colored Pokmon can be produced.
Cubes, that is, the best quality ones.
Unlike others who go from pot to pot, you won’t even see the powerful Poké Cubes.
It’s also better than Mikoli’s formula.
He had tried the formula published by Mikri on his blog before, but the effect was far less effective than Lucia's.
Not long after.
I could only hear the machine buzzing for a while, followed by a clanking sound of falling, and Poké cubes of various colors continued to cover the entire tray like game coins in an arcade.
The refreshing fragrance spread out, causing the two little dragons to drool.
"good."
Kashiwagi divided it up, and found that the powerful Pokmon cubes and ordinary Pokmon cubes each accounted for half, while the rainbow color had about 15% of all colors.
"Stop being greedy, here it is."
He picked up a sour one and a sweet one and stuffed them into the mouths of the two Doron Mecias respectively.
The mouths of the two were very small, and they couldn't hold it even if they suddenly moved. They quickly raised their little paws to hold up the Poké cube, turned around, and started to wail wildly.
"Eat slowly, don't make other people's floors dirty."
He talked casually and continued to stuff various fruits into the fruit processor.
Suddenly.
There was a sound of admiration nearby.
"Poké cubes that smell so good! What's the recipe?"
Kashiwagi turned his head and immediately saw a familiar woman with long dark green hair standing behind him, wearing a snug sportswear, and looking unspeakably heroic.
There was a cute dream monster floating on its shoulder, and it seemed a little envious as it looked at the Doronmesia siblings who were stuttering Poké Cubes.
Their eyes collided.
"Hello, my name is Xiaofeng." The other party extended his hand very generously, and his voice was unexpectedly rich, not as tactful and crisp as usual for women.
Xiaofeng!
When he heard the name, relevant memories suddenly emerged in his mind, and he shook hands with him politely, "Hello, hello, my name is... Kashiwagi."
Different from the twin gym leaders Xiao Feng in Green Ridge City, the Xiao Feng in front of him was Xiao Zhi’s top 32 opponent in the Caiyu Conference. Although he lost to the latter in the end, he was in his birthplace in Shuijing City.
But he is a quite famous trainer.
It even appeared in Xiaogang's Guide to Beautiful Girls.
But why did she appear in the Poké Cube store? Is it possible that the trainer's path is unavailable, and she is planning to take the path of coordinating trainers?
While he was thinking about it, Xiao Feng in front of him showed a surprised expression, and turned around to shout excitedly, but suddenly stopped when his eyes fell on the mask.
She suddenly lowered her voice.
"Kashiwagi!? Are you Kashiwagi?"
"...I think I should be."
Kashiwagi took off his mask a little.
When Xiaofeng saw his face, she instantly became extremely excited and couldn't help but want to grab his hand, "It's really you! Kashiwagi! I'm your fan!"
"Well, thank you."
Kashiwagi picked up the jar casually to prevent the situation from becoming awkward, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
I really don’t know whether it’s the Lucky Scales or the Gorgeous Contest that make him have fans everywhere in the Hoenn area - of course they pale in comparison to Mr. Senri’s fans in the entire city.
However, is this person really going to develop into a coordination trainer?
The excitement on the heroic girl's face did not diminish, and she said with admiration: "After watching your gorgeous competition, I realized that trainers like Mikri who are both fighting and performing are not an exception, so I think it is also
Become a coordination trainer!"
"Thank you. It's an honor to be able to inspire you."
He nodded slightly, put the freshly baked Poké Cubes into the prepared jar and sealed it.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Xiaofeng frowned slightly and said out of the blue: "Can you have a Pokémon battle with me?"
Kashiwagi paused, raised his head and responded:
"……certainly."
——
Come to the nearest battle venue.
Kashiwagi held a multi-dragon Mecia on his left and right shoulders, looking at the excited Xiao Feng in the distance, "I don't carry many Pokémon with me when I go out, how about one-on-one this time?"
"good!"
The opponent did everything he could, and even took the initiative to send out his first Pokémon.
Bang!
There was a flash of light.
A Pokémon with a red body and a metallic color, resembling a warrior and holding crab claws, with a pair of transparent wings on its back, appeared.
Pincer Pokémon, Giant Pincer Mantis.
It's not very fast in the game, but in the animation it has good mobility with its powerful explosive ability, and it's just used as a high-speed Pokémon.
"I decided to enter the glamor contest with a giant pincer mantis!"
Xiaofeng, who sent out the Pokémon, stood with his arms folded and said confidently: "Please give me your advice!"
"Haha!"
The Giant Pincer Mantis shouted calmly.
Kashiwagi had no choice, he only brought the happy eggs, and the Doron Mecia siblings were two beings with no fighting ability at all.
Bang!
The Poké Ball opens.
The round happy egg fell to the ground, "happy~"
Xiaofeng's eyes sparkled, "It's Happy Egg! The Pokémon that defeated the opponent with just changing moves!"
As a fan, she has carefully watched Kashiwagi's performances and battles in various glamor competitions over and over again. In her eyes, Happy Egg has long been an extremely familiar Pokémon.
certainly.
It is limited to the moves and skills shown in the few times the latter appeared.
And although Xiaofeng stopped at the top thirty-two in the Caiyu Conference, her strength is definitely not weak, otherwise she would not be able to force Xiaozhi to the final one-on-one.
She made a quick decision: "Giant Pincer Mantis! Flash with lightning!"
According to her understanding of the Happy Egg, the latter's reactions are quite sensitive and it is easy to use various changes of moves. If you want to defeat it, you must use absolute speed to confuse its perception.
"Haha!"
The giant pincer mantis was surrounded by a white stream of light, its wings as thin as cicada wings flapped, and its metal body suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Bang!
The sound of breaking wind is like the sound of wind cannon.
Kashiwagi's eyes were calm, and he shouldered two melon-eating crowds holding Poké cubes and gnawing wildly, and suddenly said:
"Get smaller."
"Happy!"
Happy Egg didn't care at all about the disappearing Giant Pincer Mantis. He only waited for the trainer's order to quickly shrink his not-so-large body.
A huge red pincer wrapped in white light brushed against its forehead.
"Haha!?"
The giant pincer mantis looked at the happy egg, which was no bigger than his knees, in shock. He didn't expect that such a swift move of his would be easily dodged by it.
Xiaofeng was also shocked, but her reaction was not slow.
"Bullet punch!"
"Sing!"
The two commands are almost synchronized.
Helplessly, when the Giant Pincer Mantis swung out another giant pincer dyed with a silver-white metal color, the happy egg's close-range hypnotic sound wave had already been exported.
"Hahaha~haha beer~"
Bang!
The bullet punch hit Happy Egg's body with lightning speed, and the steel attribute energy exploded into a ball of silver light and knocked it away.
But at the same time, the Giant Pincer Mantis also closed its eyes and fell to its knees with a thud, as if it had been successfully hypnotized by Happy Egg's singing.
Xiao Feng frowned quickly and took out the Poke Ball to try to exchange. Only when he raised his hand did he realize that it was one-on-one.
She couldn't help but sigh.
Not far away.
Happy Egg rolled over in front of him and rubbed the cheek that was hit with palpitations. His condition was much better than Kashiwagi expected. It seemed that the attack power of the Giant Pincer Mantis was not particularly high.
To be on the safe side.
"Lay eggs!"
"Happy~"
The happy egg placed its two little hands in front of its belly. Warm light lit up from the white egg and quickly spread to its whole body, causing dots of bright green light.
On the other side, Xiao Feng shouted loudly and tried to wake up the Giant Pincer Mantis, but the latter fell into a very deep sleep, and he almost slept until it was dark.
Kashiwagi didn't give it a chance.
"Strength of spirit!"
"Happy!"
Happy Egg's eyes glowed blue, and the invisible power turned into a storm of thoughts to lift up the giant mantis, and then smashed it down!
Boom!
The ground shook and dust flew.
"Giant Pincer Praying Mantis! Wake up!" Xiao Feng tried to use this impact to wake it up, but the latter still slept like a dead pig. In the game, it probably would have slept through the whole round.
This gave Happy Egg a good opportunity to pursue the victory.
"Pitch on Earth!"
Following the trainer's instructions, Happy Egg puffed up its little face and ran towards the giant mantis, grabbed its giant pincers, closed its eyes, lifted off one foot from the ground, and used the power of its body to spin.
As its speed accelerated, a phantom of the earth gradually emerged, symbolizing that the attack power had reached its highest peak.
"put!"
Kashiwagi shouted, and Happy Egg suddenly let go.
call!
The strong wind roared, and the sleepy Giant Pincer Mantis flew into the distance like a meteor. In the blink of an eye, it crossed the boundary of the battlefield and hit the trunk of the big tree!
Bang!
The tree trunks shook and branches and leaves fell.
The Giant Pincer Mantis finally woke up from this series of attacks, staggering and trying to get up.
"Use Fei Qi!" Xiao Feng looked happy and did not dare to neglect. He yelled and tried to get the giant pincer mantis to recover its lost strength. However, the latter swayed a few times and fell forward dejectedly.
Poof!
The two Doron Mecias, who were holding Poké Cubes and chewing on them, were both shocked, as if they were startled.
The Giant Pincer Mantis, with circles in its eyes, lost consciousness.
Xiaofeng's happy expression turned into shock.
There is no doubt about it.
This was a battle with almost no suspense. Happy Egg successfully defeated the Giant Pincer Mantis with absolute agility in timing and quick moves.
Xiaofeng, who had a certain degree of confidence in his own strength, received a critical hit worth 10,000 points.
How could it be so easy——
"Nice job."
"Happy~"
Kashiwagi gave a high-five to the returning happy egg.
Snap!
Brother Duolong on his shoulder saw this, held the Poké cube in his mouth, swam to the happy egg, and followed it, "Hehe~"
"Happy~"
Sister Duolong watched this scene silently, but she felt a little unhappy in her heart. But seeing everyone watching it, she shyly responded and high-fived, "Hehe~"
"Happy!!"
Happy Egg couldn't be happier.
Kashiwagi retracted his gaze and looked at Xiao Feng in the distance, thinking that Caiyu was only as strong as the top 32 in the tournament, and it seemed that he had not made much progress after so many years.
Reached the limit?
It's possible.
He knows very well that not every trainer can be like Xiaozhi, who becomes more courageous and can always move towards higher scores. Even if most people win the championship, they may not be able to replace one of the Four Heavenly Kings or the champion.
Gym Leader is pretty much their limit.
Just like the dark side of this pseudo-utopian world, the trainer world also has its extremely realistic part.
"Sure enough, you are even better than I thought!"
Xiaofeng came to Kashiwagi, first expressed his admiration, and then asked expectantly: "You should be able to participate in the Shuijing Conference in four days, right?"
"Um."
He nodded.
"I won't lose to you so easily then!" Xiaofeng stretched out his hand as if making a declaration.
"I'm looking forward to it."
Kashiwagi shook hands with him again, and suddenly felt that he was probably not regarded as an idol by Xiao Feng, and she most likely thought that he was a powerful rival.
Thinking about it this way, the other party's words and actions so far are very similar to a powerful enemy character who suddenly appears in the game and fights the protagonist of the game.
...Okay, it's a little bit confusing.
But thanks to Xiaofeng.
Kashiwagi is ready for the first round of review of this conference, and is ready to let Happy Egg play alone.
Big Mouth Baby has appeared in three consecutive performances, while Happy Egg, who is also a participant, has only appeared a few times at the Autumn Leaves Festival as a red flower to set off the green leaves.
The Mikri Cup must be the home field of Menas, a water-type Pokémon.
If Happy Egg is not allowed to perform alone, it will feel like it is just making up for the numbers.
As for whether Big Mouth Baby will protest...
Kashiwagi thought that instead of participating in such a small gorgeous competition, it would be better for this guy to master the super evolution with him first, so that he could have a way to perform it in the gorgeous large-scale celebration.
