Chapter 405: For Food!
Chapter 405: For Food!
"How is it? Did you find anything?"
After capturing Tyrogue, Jinghe also arrived at the ruins.
On the ruins, there were various patterns, some were mere drawings, while others represented words.
"Hmm."
Sharon looked serious, "I recognize some of the things up there, but for the most part, I'll need to slowly translate them."
What was recorded here was most likely related to the Verdant Period.
"Rotom, please help me record this." Sharon suddenly said.
"Understood, Rotom!"
Rotom instinctively shouted.
Huh?
Rotom, realizing what was happening, exchanged a glance with Jinghe.
"Rotom...?"
Bellflower Island, Athlete Village.
"Rotom, Fruit Blender Mode!"
"Rotom!"
The top-tier fruit blender immediately started whirring and grinding.
"Chirp~"
Tyrogue scratched its blunt horn shyly, glancing at the fruit blender with a hint of longing, and then rubbed its belly.
Indeed, it was hungry again.
After returning from Dandelion Island, Tyrogue, filled with curiosity, nibbled and played around until it tired itself out and became hungry again.
Jinghe had no choice but to start making Energy Cubes.
The ones he had fed the little guy before were from his old stock, and their taste and nutritional value were undoubtedly excellent.
However, these Energy Cubes were primarily used to establish friendly connections with unfamiliar Pokemon, such as Darkrai, Cresselia, and Sido Lane, among others.
Jinghe jokingly referred to them as "Succubus Energy Cubes," emphasizing their deliciousness and adaptability to various Pokemon's tastes.
Therefore, these were not specifically tailored Energy Cubes for Pokemon like Tyrogue.
After returning, he began customizing them.
Fortunately, in "Earth's Doctrine," Banmu clearly described the type of Energy Cubes suitable for Pokemon like Tyrogue.
Combined with his own adjustments, Jinghe believed that these cubes would not only be the most suitable for Tyrogue's growth but also satisfy the little guy's taste buds.
As for how to raise the little guy, Jinghe hadn't fully formulated a plan yet, but he had some ideas.
Tyrogue was a Rock-type and Ground-type Pokemon, but its final evolution, Hitmonlee, was a Rock-type and Dark-type, which was an aspect that needed to be taken seriously.
Its primary training direction would undoubtedly be a Physical Attacker, and a slightly slower speed was acceptable. It could be used to seize weather conditions, but its output must be explosive.
Moreover, judging from Tyrogue's traits, its final evolution, Hitmonlee's trait would become "Sandstorm."
A weather trait that conflicted with Ice Nine-Tails' trait.
"There's still a way to resolve this."
As Jinghe was making Energy Cubes and pondering, he wondered if snow and sand could combine to form hail.
"Chirp~"
Gigaforg, looking like a big sister, gently patted Tyrogue's head, almost making the little guy roll on the ground.
But Tyrogue didn't get angry; it just raised its head with a silly expression and smiled.
Gigaforg glanced at Jinghe and then took out a piece of silver-glinting metal.
Tyrogue was startled at first, but then opened its small mouth and took a bite of the metal, chewing with a "crunch, crunch" sound.
"Chirp! (")"
"Chirp!"
Hey! It could really eat anything!
Hearing this, the little guys surrounded them.
"Guka?"
Charcoal Little Servant took out a small piece of charcoal and tentatively asked Tyrogue if it wanted to try.
Without hesitation, Tyrogue took a bite, and then—
"Chirp!! (!!`)∑"
Tyrogue spat out the charcoal, its mouth open, tongue sticking out, and its small hands fanning its mouth.
Hot!
"Hengga~~"
Detective Gengar rubbed his chin, embodying the role of a detective, and made a conclusion.
Tyrogue's favorite food was still rocks!
"Huh?"
Swift Dragon took out a piece of grass-green stone shard, emitting a faint glow.
"Guka!"
Charcoal Little Servant took out a piece of dark red stone shard, and its surface also had a faint light.
"Hengga!"
Gengar clapped his hands and spat out a piece of the Grand Platinum Orb shard he obtained yesterday, tentatively placing it in front of Tyrogue.
Seeing this, Bear Pupil looked left and right and realized he didn't have anything impressive to offer, so he could only pitifully take out a Vital Root.
"Koo"
Don't be picky.
Ice Nine-Tails, seeing this, could only offer its Unmelt Ice.
"Chirp, chirp?"
Tyrogue looked at the items in front of it with a shocked expression and couldn't help but swallow its saliva.
Are...are all these for me to eat? Can I really eat them?
"Hengga! (_)"
Gengar calmly patted the little guy's head and waved his hand.
Eat with confidence! We're not stingy Pokemon!
"Chirp!! (ˊ〇ˋ)"
Tyrogue excitedly raised its head and roared ferociously.
No kidding.
With this attitude, it really resembled a "Feral Beast."
Hearing the commotion, Jinghe turned around and saw this scene, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
Wow, you guys are really daring to feed it, and this little thing is really hungry!
Won't it hurt its teeth?
"Put it down! All of you, put it down!" Jinghe hurriedly said, "Don't feed the little guy all sorts of weird things. What if it gets indigestion?"
"And Mashado, put away your little wooden stick yourself!"
"Mashado..."
Mashado, lurking in the shadows, retreated with an awkward smile, pouting in dissatisfaction.
He doesn't know a good thing when he sees it. He can't even recognize the branch of the World's Origin Tree.
Jinghe's mouth twitched.
That's why I won't let you feed it.
What would it be like to feed a Ground-Type and Rock-Type Pokemon a branch filled with Grass-Type energy?
It's a quadruple weakness to Grass-Type moves, do you understand?
Even if there's life energy in it, you can't just feed it to them!
"Tyrogue, don't eat random things. We want to be a refined piggy, a refined Tyrogue."
Jinghe knelt down with the freshly made, warm Energy Cube in front of it.
"Yoji?"
A refined Tyrogue?
"Here, this is delicious."
Jinghe passed the Energy Cube to it.
"Yoji!"
Tyrogue immediately started eating with great joy.
Jinghe's heart sank.
This appetite...
"After this tournament is over, I'll place an order for some ore."
Speaking of ore, Jinghe's first thought was naturally of his student, Da Wu, after all, his family owned numerous mines.
But Da Wu's ore was of high quality and expensive, and with Da Wu's personality, he might even end up giving it away at a loss.
"I can't just rely on Da Wu. As a teacher, that wouldn't be appropriate."
Looks like I'll have to make a trip to Black Gold City.
The ore produced in Black Gold City is also of decent quality, and with a two-pronged approach, it should be able to meet the little guy's needs.
In fact, Tyrogue can eat many things, such as high-quality soil, stones, coal, and metal.
It's just that he's willing to eat whatever you feed him.
According to the Pokemon world's "menu," if Pidgeot eats Caterpie, and Mightyena hunts Glaceon, Tyrogue's menu should also include things like Graveler, Geodude, Onix, and even Meteorite.
Jinghe shook his head repeatedly, suppressing these thoughts.
At most, he'll eat some dropped items!
"I wonder if the Pokemon world has uranium ore?"
If there is uranium ore, maybe Tyrogue could eat a little and evolve into Godzilla.
In any case...
"I really need to work hard for this Bellflower Tournament."
Jinghe's expression became serious.
"For food!"
"Hengga!"
The little ones, led by Gramps, responded in unison.
For food!
The "Rogue Team" officially set their goal and launched the "Food Supply Operation"!
Tyrogue, who was in the middle of eating, heard this and wiped the crumbs from his mouth, also chiming in with a fierce expression, "Yoji!"
For food!
Indeed, the little guy was quite sociable.
Kantou Chiban City, Rocket Team Base.
"Oh? It hatched? A Tyrogue?"
Banmu received a rare call from Jinghe.
When he learned that a Tyrogue had hatched from the Poke Egg, he was in a good mood.
Does it cost money to raise a Tyrogue?
It does cost money!
It would be best if Jinghe were permanently tied to the Rocket Team's "chariot," never allowing him to get off.
This outcome was something even Banmu hadn't anticipated.
"It's a Pokemon with great potential. My suggestion is to raise another Sandstorm Team! Tell me what Pokemon you need, and I should have descendants of Sandstorm Team members!" Banmu said grandly.
Jinghe: "."
So, Banmu, did you initially plan to send one every year and help us form a Sandstorm Team?
Thank you, Banmu!
"Cough, Chiban Gym Leader, I wanted to ask about raising a Tyrogue. Aside from what's mentioned in 'Earth's Doctrine,' are there any other important aspects to focus on?"
"Important?"
Banmu paused for a moment before saying, "I didn't hold back in 'Earth's Doctrine.' Everything I've written there is my advice. Regarding Tyrogue or its final evolution, Hitmonlee, I can only say this: fully develop their offensive capabilities!"
After a pause, he continued, "Offense is the best defense. It may not apply to all Pokemon, but trust me, it's absolutely applicable to Hitmonlee!"
Banmu seemed to be in high spirits.
"Constant offense is constant defense. Believe in the power of the earth!"
"When you stand upon the earth, you are invincible!"
Jinghe felt embarrassed.
We're not like you, Banmu!
Mewtwo and you are incompatible because Mewtwo fights by floating in the air, right?
"However, Jinghe, remember this: 'Earth's Doctrine' is the most suitable training method for me, but it may not be fully compatible with you. You need to make your own decisions."
When it came to passing on knowledge, Banmu indeed had the demeanor of a master.
"I understand."
Jinghe had received guidance from many people, but he had never blindly followed anyone's training method.
For Pokemon, he always believed that no two Pokemon were exactly the same.
"Mmm. I believe in your abilities. So..."
"Good luck at the Bellflower Tournament."
"Haha," Jinghe forced a laugh.
He had to work hard for food, too.
"If you need precious ore, let me know. Recently, our Chiban Gym has taken over several mines, and with the addition of many miners, we should be able to excavate a lot of rare ore."
"Oh?" Jinghe's eyes lit up. "What about the cost?"
"Don't worry about the cost," Banmu said with a smile. "You can put it on credit!"
