Chapter 497: Let Me Help You Lick It
Chapter 497: Let Me Help You Lick It
"Dig a hole, cover it with soil, and count one, two, three, four, five."
Jinghe held a shovel, wore a cool hat, and hummed a tune as he planted sunflower and corn seeds.
Behind him, Tyrogue carried a watering can almost as big as himself, watering the plants as Jinghe planted them.
The soil in the Pokemon world was fertile enough for even tree fruits to grow freely, let alone ordinary plants, so they grew quite well even without fertilizer.
However, if one wanted the crops to grow faster and better, fertilizer was still necessary.
Jinghe decided to leave this task to Yan Wang.
After all, he had nothing better to do at home, so he might as well move some soil and help with fertilizing, which was not a difficult task for him.
"Yo-ki~ Yo-ki~"
Tyrogue also hummed a little tune, but Jinghe couldn't understand what he was singing.
On the other side.
Gigalith and Martial Bear were helping to build flower beds, or more precisely, small planting enclosures.
After several tests, Jinghe had basically mastered the method of growing ice radishes and black radishes, which only required a thick layer of "fertilizer" beneath the enclosure.
For example, ice and mud.
Additionally, non-melting ice fragments, Spiritomb cloth scraps, and the like could completely meet the growth requirements of ice and black radishes.
For these two types of radishes, it was a given that Ice-type and Ghost-type Pokemon loved them, and even if they weren't, they still enjoyed making radish pies, so Jinghe naturally wanted to plant more, otherwise, there wouldn't be enough to eat.
And so.
Ice Kyurem, Gramps, Dragonite, and Cangyan Rengui were helping to move the fertilizer from the previous flower beds and harvesting about forty to fifty ice and black radishes.
Jinghe estimated that a radish feast was inevitable for tonight.
After finishing planting, Jinghe rested and casually picked up a black radish from the ground.
The pitch-black radish emitted a Ghost-type aura and was the favorite of Gramps, Cangyan Rengui, and Lotom.
He gently rubbed off the sticky black soil from the radish.
From his pocket, he took out a tuft of black mane, which belonged to Spirit Phantom Mare.
"How should these two things be used to make a bonding rein?" Jinghe rubbed his eyebrows in distress, easing his tired body.
"Cha!"
Gigalith, who had finished building the enclosure, heard his muttering and his eyes lit up. He carried his hammer and ran over.
"Do you want to give it a try?"
Seeing Gigalith's excited expression, Jinghe smiled.
"Alright."
He handed the black mane and black radish to Gigalith.
"Cha?"
Looking at the items in his hands, Gigalith hesitated for a moment.
Although he really wanted to try, he had no confidence at all. After all, this wasn't any ordinary material, and Jinghe had given it to him without hesitation.
"Haha." Jinghe smiled and squatted down, patting the little guy's head, "We don't have anyone else who can do this."
"Moreover, it's just a try. It's an unexpected gain, and if it succeeds, great, if not, it's just practice. Don't feel pressured."
Even if Gigalith really managed to forge a 'Bonding Rein', would Jinghe really go to the Crown Tundra in the Galar region to catch a Spirit Phantom Mare?
After all, it was a Legendary Pokemon.
Leiguan Wang was able to tame it, partly because of the 'Bonding Rein' and partly because of Leiguan Wang's own Legendary status and strength.
But Gigalith didn't think so.
Since Jinghe trusted him so much, he had to make something happen. He nodded firmly.
"Cha!!!"
"Oh, by the way."
Seeing Gigalith's serious expression, Jinghe smiled, "Peonie, the Champion, went to the Crown Tundra to investigate. Maybe he can gather some information about the 'Bonding Rein'. I can help you ask."
He then sent a message to Peonie, indirectly inquiring about Leiguan Wang, the Bonding Rein, and Spirit Phantom Mare.
However, Peonie didn't reply immediately, and Jinghe wasn't in a hurry. He just let Gigalith study it slowly.
He stretched lazily.
"Hoo—"
After a busy day, his gaze naturally fell on the newly built swimming pool.
The pool water in early spring was still a bit chilly, so it was time for a hot spring bath! Jinghe called out.
The little guys, who had just finished their tasks, immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed over upon hearing his call.
"Cangyan Rengui, light the fire!" Jinghe waved his hand.
Fortunately, after Cangyan Rengui's evolution, he could finally enter the water, unlike Charcoal, who could only stay on the shore.
However, before Cangyan Rengui could start, he had to go to the specially designated space below the pool to warm up, giving it a feel of a northern heated brick bed.
Jinghe's expression became strange as he watched Gramps and Dragonite jump into the pool first.
A northern heated brick bed?
No.
This was clearly a stone pot stewing himself. Oh well.
After all, Cangyan Rengui wouldn't be burning down there forever. Once the temperature was right, they could all enjoy the hot spring together.
Soon.
White steam rose, and the surrounding temperature gradually increased. As the sun set, the moon appeared in the sky.
Jinghe leaned against the specially crafted pool wall, his head resting on a towel, and heaved a long sigh.
On the other side.
Gramps and the others were performing 'Water Gun', having a great time.
As long as they didn't use 'Hydro Pump', Jinghe thought, there shouldn't be a problem.
"Ow—"
Ice Kyurem, in its original form, dragged its legs to Jinghe's side and leaned against him, sticking to the backrest.
Jinghe smiled slightly, looking at Ice Kyurem, who had 'slimmed down' significantly.
In the past, when the little guy was still a small Vulpix, every bath time felt like a battle, and the water would often freeze, making him a typical bath-hater.
But now, although Ice Kyurem still shows a bit of resistance, it has improved significantly.
Not only has it accepted baths and soaking, but it has even taken to soaking in hot springs.
The moon gradually brightened, casting a radiant glow.
Ice Kyurem leaned against Jinghe, slowly closing its eyes, its body emitting a faint glow, seemingly resonating with the moon's radiance.
Jinghe coughed, drawing the attention of the little ones.
"Storytime!"
Woosh!
Hearing their familiar storytime, the little ones immediately swam over, huddling closely around Jinghe, and quieting down.
Even the mischievous Gramps became unusually well-behaved at this moment.
Jinghe felt a sense of satisfaction at the sight.
No matter how playful they were, a story was all it took to calm them down!
"Where did we leave off last time?"
"Roooar!" (Grass Boat Borrowing Arrows!)
"Mew!" (It was Three Battles with the White Bone Demon!)
"Hengga!" (No, no, it was about the Timely Rain.)
"Hmm" (I think Old Cao's battle with Zhang Xiu's aunt was more interesting.)
All eyes turned to Yan Wang.
Knowing he had said something he shouldn't have, Yan Wang immediately "gulped" and sank to the bottom of the water.
Jinghe: "."
"Have I told you so many stories?"
Each of the little ones nodded, their heads bobbing in unison like garlic crusher.
"Ahem." Jinghe gave a dry laugh, "Then today, let's talk about Born with Yu, Why Born with Liang."
Time seemed to slow down, each day passing by at a leisurely pace, but feeling full and satisfying.
Time also seemed to fast-forward, and looking back, Jinghe realized that more than ten days had already passed!
However, there weren't any major events, and in Jinghe's opinion, it was still good.
When there were classes, he taught; when there weren't, he conducted Pokemon psychology consultations with students or online clients. In his free time, he trained with the little ones, occasionally went out for some fun, or treated himself to a hearty meal.
Jinghe couldn't help but notice that recently, people seemed to be paying more attention to Pokemon's mental well-being, perhaps influenced by him.
In Jinghe's opinion, this was undoubtedly a good thing.
The more they valued the inner thoughts of Pokemon, the more they wanted to coexist harmoniously with them.
This was undoubtedly a positive development, and Jinghe was delighted by it.
"If I can make trainers pay more attention to the true thoughts of Pokemon, this Champion can try to put in some effort."
By increasing his fame, more people will know what he does, leading to speculation:
Could it be that Teacher Jinghe's strength lies in Pokemon psychology? Is it because he genuinely understands Pokemon? Even if not many people have this thought, a spark can start a prairie fire, and one day it might ignite.
This was also an indirect contribution to the progress of this world.
"Hengga~!!"
Jinghe, who was leaning against Dragonite, holding Ice Kyurem, and reading a book on the sofa, heard Gramps' exclamation.
He saw Gramps sitting in front of a computer, excitedly calling out to him.
"What's got you so excited?" Jinghe leaned in.
He noticed that Gramps had opened a news article featuring many familiar faces.
A slender figure with a curvy silhouette, dressed in a fashionable style, and wearing a signature headset—it was none other than Chuer!
Hmm?
Why was Gramps so excited about Chuer? As a famous model, Jinghe's phone, ahem, used to have quite a few photos of her.
Following Gramps' finger to the title—
"Chuer's Fashion Show in Violette City"
Violette City?
Jinghe was taken aback.
Chuer was the Electric Gym Leader of Raven City in the Unova region, and although she was very famous and often participated in fashion shows and events, this seemed to be her first time in the Hoenn region.
No wonder Gramps was so excited; he was one of the few little ones who had seen the photos on Jinghe's phone before.
Violette City was originally the base of operations for the Majestic Violet Holding Company, but after the company's bankruptcy, the city's development stagnated.
Fortunately, with the efforts of Tie Xuan, the Electric Gym Leader, Violette City gradually recovered.
Violette City and Kanaz City were large cities of similar scale, and as the Electric Gym Leader, Tie Xuan had connections with Chuer.
"Do you want to go?"
Jinghe asked.
Gramps pointed again, this time at the words "Violette Food Square."
"Hengga, Hengga~~"
Jinghe's lips twitched.
So it wasn't just Chuer's fashion show that excited Gramps; the key was here.
"Hmm, my neck feels a bit stiff," Jinghe rubbed his neck, hinting at something.
"Hengga!"
Gramps quickly floated to his back and started massaging his shoulders.
"My mouth feels dry."
"Hengga!"
Gramps immediately brought water.
"I'm hungry."
"Hengga!"
Gramps brought snacks.
"My feet are also a bit sore."
"
Old man, I warn you, don't push your luck!
"Sigh, the food square," Jinghe sighed.
"Hengga."
A glint of cunning flashed in Gramps' eyes, and he suddenly stuck out his tongue.
"What are you up to, Gramps! I warn you."
Slurp—
"Hengga~~~"
Hehehe~~
Let the old man lick you
"Vulpix, help me!"
