Chapter 237: An Ordinary Radish Seed
Chapter 237: An Ordinary Radish Seed
Two days later.
A gentle breeze blew over the Armor Island, and Jing He, sitting in the flying taxi, held a paper bag with a slightly odd expression on his face.
Bear Disciple was sprawled out on the window, tears in his eyes, biting his lip as he waved goodbye to the island below.
"Ku~! (;Д｀)"
Farewell, my starting village!
We will definitely succeed in our uprising!
Below.
Mastarde, Miele, and the martial arts students couldn't hide their relief and joy as they waved goodbye.
Finally, they're gone!
The Armor Island can finally have some peace for a while!
The Poke Ball at Jing He's waist opened on its own, and Steelix appeared in the compartment.
"Chu~~"
Seeing that Steelix had no intention of attacking the Steelix, Jing He let out a slight sigh of relief.
But Steelix also had a look of reluctance on its face.
"Chu~~" (I really don't want to leave.)
But the Steelix on the Armor Island had almost all been plucked by it.
Yesterday, it even saw a group of Steelix secretly preparing to migrate at night.
It had called them back, or else it would have caused an ecological imbalance on the island.
As for how it called them back...
According to one of the Steelix at the scene:
"Ga! Ga! Ga!!"
The gist of it was:
You don't know how terrifying that pink demon with the big hammer is.
It looks harmless, but it gets so excited when plucking feathers!
That wouldn't have been a problem if they just flew high enough and avoided the hammer.
But who would have thought that the pink demon also had a flying dragon?!
And the worst part is, that flying dragon only uses its ultimate move, which never misses!
Who can stand up to that?
Jing He glanced at Steelix and Dragon.
If they didn't leave, the Steelix on the Armor Island would really go extinct.
He had also seen a scene by chance.
A group of Steelix with sparse feathers cautiously hopping around on the ground, searching for food, not daring to fly.
As soon as they flew up, they were instantly taken down!
Unable to bear it, Jing He took out several energy blocks as compensation.
At least they needed to maintain their normal life and nutritional intake.
Otherwise, how would they ever grow back their feathers?
'I'm such a kind person,' Jing He thought to himself.
The small Vulpix curled up in his arms wriggled a bit and let out a soft cry.
"Ou~~" (It's nice not to feel the sadness of parting.)
It hated parting the most, but this time, the feeling wasn't so bad.
The sadness of parting?
Jing He pulled at the corners of his mouth.
He looked at the Ghastly sitting opposite him, looking harmless as it ate a poisonous mushroom.
Actually, if it was just Steelix, it wouldn't have been so bad.
At most, it would have only affected the Steelix on the island.
Ghastly, on the other hand, was the real nightmare for most of the Pokemon on the island, the source of their fear.
After swapping its ability, it would take a sleeping but still mobile and stronger Bear Disciple into the forest at night.
Who knows what they did there.
In Ghastly's words, it was—Old man, I'm really cut out for the wild!
And in Bear Disciple's words after waking up—Thank you, nature, for your generous "gifts"!
In just a few days, it was almost as much as Bear Disciple had given over half a year on the island.
It was said that one day, Miele went to the island to pick mushrooms to make a mushroom soup.
But she walked for about four or five kilometers and didn't see a single mushroom!
That night, the martial arts students had steamed buns and pancakes for dinner.
There wasn't even enough water, and they had to fight to get their share.
Noticing Jing He's gaze, Ghastly swallowed the mushroom and showed a harmless smile.
"Genka~~" (I really liked it here.)
The Armor Island was great. The Pokemon there were all talented and spoke nicely. It really liked it.
Jing He gave a bitter smile, "Ha ha."
But speaking of which.
To send them off, Mastarde and Miele also gave them a parting gift.
It was the paper bag of seeds Jing He held in his hand.
At first, Jing He didn't understand why they would give him a bag of seeds, as he wasn't running a farm.
But Miele explained:
"This is a bag of seeds with a bit of history. Unfortunately, I couldn't grow anything from them, but their origin is quite significant, dating back to the ancient king of Galar."
When Miele was still the president of a trading company, she had managed to acquire this batch of seeds but never managed to grow anything from them.
When Jing He first received the seeds, his first thought was:
Ancient seeds from the Galar region? After so many years, it would be strange if they could still grow anything.
But when he opened the bag and saw the plump, shiny seeds, even glowing faintly, a question mark appeared over his head, like a Bidoof's.
Ancient seeds?
Fortunately, the Pokedex provided a clue.
[Radish Seeds: They grow into Ice Radishes in icy soil and into Black Radishes in ghostly, dead soil (no need to thank me)]
The moment Jing He saw the words "Ice Radish" and "Black Radish," he thought of a Pokemon—
Calyrex (strike through) Regice!
Calyrex, the legendary king who once ruled the Galar region in ancient times, possessed great wisdom and was said to see all things past, present, and future.
He oversees the harvest and is known as the "King of Fertility."
The Regice, the king of the Crown Tundra, has two beloved steeds: the Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Horse. They have a particular fondness for eating ice radishes and black radishes.
The problem was...
Jing He shook the paper bag in his hand, which still contained a good number of seeds.
"Even if you gave them to me, I wouldn't be able to grow them."
The planting conditions for these "radish seeds" were extremely stringent.
The legends of the Regice and his steeds, the Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Horse, have become obscure tales in the Galar region.
If not for the Regice's laziness, perhaps the Galar region would still be under its rule.
He pondered for a moment.
"Actually, it's not entirely impossible."
Jing He glanced at the Weavile in his arms and the Gengar across from him.
The reason these "radish seeds" were so difficult to grow was that few people knew about their stringent conditions.
After all, who would plant seeds in the snow?
And even less so in a graveyard.
Moreover, these "radish seeds" were something that Mieleaf had obtained with great difficulty.
If not for her trade company, ordinary people would have little chance to come across these seeds.
"If I..."
He had the Weavile create a small patch of snow and the Gengar conjure up a graveyard-like area filled with ghostly energy. Could this create the conditions necessary to grow the ice and black radishes?
It wasn't as though he wanted to use these radishes to trick the Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Horse.
Even a being as powerful as the Regice needed a special "Bond Rope" to tame these steeds.
After all, the Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Horse were powerful, arrogant, and highly combative legendary Pokemon.
They couldn't be tamed or befriended with just any radish.
His idea was that if these radishes were so beloved by the Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Horse and had such stringent growing conditions, they must be extraordinary.
If he could grow them and make "carrot rice cakes" for the Weavile and Gengar, they would surely be very nutritious.
"I can try when I get back."
The backyard of the cafe was quite spacious, and he had been considering planting some vegetables and fruits there.
He just hadn't decided what to plant, so he had put it off.
"Come to think of it, the Pokemon world is indeed quite suitable for farming."
Many Pokemon crops, like tree berries, have minimal seasonal requirements and can yield multiple harvests in a year.
The only challenge is the high soil quality requirement.
After arriving at the city gates by flying taxi, Jing He didn't linger in the Galar region.
Instead, he took a plane back to the Hoenn region.
One reason was his eagerness to try planting the seeds.
But the more important reason was his concern about the instability of Galar particles, or perhaps the instability of the Primal Groudon, in the Galar region.
Though he didn't know the exact cause, he was worried that a Galar particle might land on one of his Pokemon, especially Gengar, causing major trouble.
Who knew what kind of chaos this purple, pudgy little guy could create?
And with Jing He's luck, the probability of "if" could easily lose a couple of zeros.
He needed to get out of there quickly to avoid any trouble.
The only downside was the long distance between the Galar and Hoenn regions, which meant a long flight.
"Finally back."
After a long flight, Jing He and his companions finally returned to their familiar home.
He released the little ones from their Poke Balls.
The first thing upon returning home was to help Ursaring get familiar with the environment.
More important than the Pokemon's strength was their ability to integrate into the family.
Even though Ursaring had already become friends with Gengar and the others, that was on the Isle of Armor, a place Ursaring knew well.
"Moving to a new home, there might be some adjustment issues."
He wasn't entirely confident as he brewed coffee on the first floor.
Upstairs.
"Kuuu~" (Is this our new base?)
"Gengar~" (Tonight, I'll show you our territory!)
Weavile, Steelix, and Dragonair all smiled in agreement.
"Kuuu~" (Bear Cub, your eyes are shining!)
This is what a gang feels like? I love the gang! It's so reassuring!
Then, the little ones started recommending their "toys" to Ursaring.
"Ooow~" (You can climb these shelves anytime.)
"Chaa~chaa~" (You can play with these iron bars too.)
"Hooow~" (You can take baths in the bathtub.)
Gengar put on his sunglasses.
"Gengar~" (When you leave home and encounter wild Pokemon, mention my name, the Lord of Fear!)
Ursaring was taken aback for a moment.
He sniffed, then nodded seriously.
"Kuku!" (I've found the honor of the gang!)
