Chapter 528: Evolve, Little Fudan! The Path to Becoming a Pokemon Doctor!
"The Oran Berry can restore stamina, the Cheri Berry can alleviate paralysis caused by Electric-type Pokemon or Stun Spore, and the Pecha Berry's juice can remove poison from a Pokemon."
"The Awakening's stimulating scent can wake up a sleeping Pokemon, and this blue Sitrus Berry here is used to heal burns."
In the living room, Naoki laid out a bag of berries he had prepared earlier, placing them on the table one by one and introducing Fudan to each berry's type and effect from left to right.
Fudan listened intently, cradling the Round Stone in its arms.
Naoki glanced at it and asked, "Do you remember them all?"
"Fudan!" Fudan nodded its head vigorously.
"Good. Now, I'm going to test you."
Naoki mixed up the berries, disrupting their order.
After a moment, he rearranged the berries in a row.
Fudan stared, its eyes widening in confusion.
"Now, do you remember the name of this berry?" Naoki picked up a pink Pecha Berry and asked.
"Fu... Fudan?" Fudan replied tentatively.
Naoki: "..." It couldn't remember at all!
"This is the Pecha Berry. When a Pokemon is poisoned, just feed it this berry, and it will be cured." Naoki patiently explained again.
Pecha Berry for poison cure! Fudan's face lit up with realization, and it committed the information to memory.
"Let's try again," Naoki said, putting the Pecha Berry back into the mix.
He then reintroduced the berries from left to right, explaining their types once more.
Fudan's eyes fixed on the Pecha Berry, silently chanting to itself:
"Pecha Berry, Pecha Berry, Pecha Berry... to cure poison."
Naoki had intended to continue testing Fudan on the Pecha Berry's name and effect.
However, he noticed Fudan's intense gaze on the berry and changed his mind. Instead, he reached for another berry, a round Cheri Berry.
"Do you remember what this berry is called?"
Fudan froze at the sudden change.
"Fu... Fudan?"
Naoki offered it an encouraging look.
Fudan replied uncertainly, "Fudan? (Is it the Oran Berry for healing freeze?)"
Naoki sighed in exasperation but maintained his patience. "The berry for healing freeze is the Aspear Berry. The Oran Berry is for restoring stamina to weak Pokemon."
"Fu... Fudan..."
Fudan was on the verge of tears, feeling like it wasn't the brightest Pokemon around.
Seeing the helpless expression on Naoki's face, Fudan couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.
Naoki: "..."
"There, there, don't cry. If you can't remember them all at once, we'll just learn one berry a day. At this rate, you'll have them all memorized in less than a month." Naoki consoled Fudan.
Fudan stopped crying and looked up, its eyes glistening. "Fudan? Really?"
Naoki nodded. "Of course. For today, just focus on remembering the name and effect of this Cheri Berry."
As he spoke, he handed the Cheri Berry to Fudan.
Fudan held the berry and blinked.
"The Cheri Berry has a spicy flavor," Naoki explained. "If a Pokemon eats it, the spiciness will stimulate paralyzed muscles, counteracting the paralysis and restoring the Pokemon's vitality."
"Fudan!" Fudan nodded seriously, indicating that it understood and remembered.
"Great. Carry this Cheri Berry with you today and keep it close," Naoki instructed.
"Fudan!"
Naoki then got up to weed the farm, as the rising temperatures had caused an overgrowth of wild grass.
If left unattended, these weeds would compete with the crops for nutrients in the soil.
Meanwhile, Fudan wandered around the ranch, clutching the Cheri Berry.
As it walked, it muttered to itself, "Fudan, Fudan... (Cheri Berry cures paralysis. Cheri Berry cures paralysis...)
Its behavior caught the attention of several Pokemon on the ranch.
As Fudan wandered near the chicken coop, Babo, who was sitting on the roof polishing its tiny hammer, cocked its head in curiosity.
"Babo?" (What are you doing?)
Fudan lifted its head and replied loudly, "Fudan! (I'm learning about berries, Babo. Did you know the Cheri Berry can cure paralysis in Pokemon?)
"Babo..." Babo wasn't aware of that; it didn't recall ever being paralyzed itself!
At that moment, Fudan suddenly remembered something.
Babo knew the answer to this question! Excitedly, it replied, "Ba'mo ba'mo!" (I know! It's an abnormal condition that prevents Pokemon from moving. I have a technique that can do that!)
Babo was delighted that it could be of assistance to Fudan.
Upon hearing these words, Fudan began to think intently.
Merely knowing the names and effects of the berries wasn't enough. If one didn't know what ailments afflicted a Pokemon, this knowledge would be useless.
Therefore, in addition to learning about berries, Fudan also needed to understand what paralysis, sleep, and burns looked like.
But how could it learn about them?
Fudan fell into deep thought.
Soon, a brilliant idea came to mind.
What if it experienced those conditions itself and then ate the corresponding berries to cure them? Wouldn't that be a great way to remember?
The more Fudan thought about it, the more it felt this was a brilliant idea.
So, it looked up and shouted loudly to Babo on the roof, "Huku! (Babo, use the technique that induces paralysis on me!)"
"Ba'mo?!" Babo was startled, thinking it had heard wrong. It asked cautiously, "Ba'mo?" (What?)
Fudan repeated itself excitedly, "Huku! (I want to enter a state of paralysis so I can know what it feels like!)"
It seemed thrilled by its ingenious idea.
Babo hesitated, "Ba'mo..." (But that condition makes the body feel very uncomfortable...)
Fudan shook its head vigorously, its eyes filled with determination, "Huku!"
It wasn't afraid at all!
Moreover, Naoki had given it a beautiful Round Stone, and it was determined not to let him down!
Babo sensed Fudan's resolve. Looking at Fudan, Babo was reminded of its own experience when it was a tiny Pichu, how Naoki had rescued and adopted it at the ranch.
Back then, it had also felt immense gratitude toward Naoki, wanting to do something for him in return.
Yes! Whether it was Fudan or itself, they shared the same sentiment!
With this realization, Babo patted its chest and assured, "Ba'mo!"
Since Fudan was determined, Babo would help. It flew down from the roof of the chicken coop, and a weak yellow electric current surged from its body, taking the form of an electromagnetic wave that quickly surged into Fudan's body.
The next second, Fudan felt as if its body had turned into a massive stone, losing all control, and it couldn't even sense the presence of its limbs!
"Hu...Ku..." Fudan struggled to endure the sensation, looking down at its body and noticing the weak yellow electric current intermittently surging from within and appearing on the surface of its body.
So, this was what paralysis felt like?
Fudan suddenly understood that Pokemon afflicted with paralysis would have weak electric currents appearing on their bodies.
"Ba'mo?" Babo looked at Fudan with concern.
It was doing its best to control the electric current, ensuring it didn't harm Fudan.
Fudan didn't respond immediately. It looked at the Cheri Berry on the ground and then said, "Hu... Huku!"
Babo glanced at the Cheri Berry and then back at Fudan, quickly understanding its intention.
It hurriedly picked up the Cheri Berry and fed it to Fudan.
As the Cheri Berry was consumed, Fudan felt the numbing sensation in its body gradually fade away, and it regained the sense of its limbs and the ability to move them freely!
"Huku..."
Fudan looked at its palms in wonder.
So, this was what paralysis felt like, and it would remember this! It had also committed the appearance and effect of the Cheri Berry to memory!
With this, Fudan had made a breakthrough in learning about berries, and it was delighted.
It decided to press on and experience burn, poison, sleep, freeze, and confusion statuses as well!
Three minutes later, Fudan quietly returned to the living room with Babo.
Fudan decided to surprise Naoki once it had mastered all the berry knowledge, so they didn't inform him of their plan and chose to act in secret.
When Naoki tested it next, Fudan would be able to answer smoothly.
Naoki would surely be astounded then, and the Pokemon couldn't wait to see that reaction.
"Huku~" Fudan eagerly anticipated that moment.
Meanwhile, Babo flew to the fireplace and called out to its friend inside.
Soon, Magcargo crawled out from the other end of the pipe and into the fireplace, happily looking up at Babo.
"Woo~"
"Ba'mo ba'mo!" Babo explained Fudan's plan in detail to Magcargo.
"Huku?" Fudan reached out, and as soon as it touched Magcargo's body, it felt a searing pain in its hand.
The burning sensation caused Fudan to instinctively pull back its hand, and it couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
"Huku!"
The sound caught the attention of Brother Busybody, who was cleaning on the other side of the room.
Brother Busybody hurried over with a broom to check on the situation. Noticing the burn on Fudan's hand, he turned to get some medicine.
But Fudan stopped him. "Huku!"
Brother Busybody paused, puzzled.
Fudan, on the other hand, took out the bag of Berries Naoki had given it and began searching for one that could treat burns.
Fudan ate one, but the pain didn't lessen, so it moved on to the next Berry.
Finally, after eating a blue Berry, Fudan felt the burn on its hand start to ease.
"Huku!" It was this Berry! Brother Busybody looked on, perplexed by the situation.
Baboo the Sandshrew chimed in, explaining to Brother Busybody, "Ba'mo ba'mo!" (Fudan is secretly studying to give Naoki a surprise, so we can't let him know! You mustn't tell him either!)
Brother Busybody: "Ai Yi..."
Of course, he wouldn't say anything. But there were other Pokemon in the living room.
Baboo seemed to understand Brother Busybody's unspoken concern and turned to look at Reiko the Slowking, who was sitting on the sofa playing with her phone.
Reiko: "..."
Without looking up, Reiko could feel the gazes of the other Pokemon.
She paused for a moment before speaking. "I won't tell Naoki about this either."
The Pokemon breathed a sigh of relief.
With the burn-healing Berry identified, Baboo and Fudan flew to the World Tree and found Ice the Eevee sunbathing near the Pokemon Guild.
After hearing their request, Ice looked at Fudan with concern in her eyes.
"Bu yi..." (That will hurt you...) Fudan patted its chest confidently. "Huku!" It wasn't afraid.
Just then, Daffodil the Vileplume from the item shop passed by and overheard their conversation. She interrupted to promote her shop's products.
"Da fu~" (It's okay if you get hurt; we have the Sacred Ash left by Articuno in our shop!)
Seeing this, Ice didn't say anything more.
She manipulated the ice-type energy within her, directing an Ice Beam at Fudan.
The ice-type energy, exuding a cold aura, instantly hit Fudan, freezing its body.
"Bu yi?" Ice looked at her "masterpiece," worried if this was really okay.
Baboo wasn't sure either, so it gently tapped Fudan's body with its small hammer, causing the ice to shatter.
Inside, Fudan was shivering, hugging its arms.
Baboo quickly brought over a pile of Berries, and Fudan began searching for one that could cure frostbite.
However, no matter how many Berries Fudan ate, its body didn't recover.
Things were taking a turn for the worse! Baboo watched as Fudan grew weaker and weaker, realizing the situation was becoming dangerous. It quickly asked the shop owner, Daffodil, to get some Sacred Ash.
Daffodil nodded and rushed into the item shop. She soon returned with a packet of Sacred Ash and handed it to Baboo.
Baboo fed the Sacred Ash to Fudan, who immediately felt a warm current spreading throughout its body as it swallowed the ash.
"Huku!" Its body suddenly felt warm and cozy.
The warm energy spread from the inside out, dispelling the last traces of cold, and Fudan felt as if it had an endless supply of energy.
How amazing!
But the next second, something unexpected happened.
A dense and dazzling white light suddenly burst from Fudan's body.
In the midst of the light, Fudan's form began to change rapidly.
Soon, a brand-new Pokemon appeared before them.
It was a pink, egg-shaped Pokemon with small hands and a short tail.
On both sides of its head were hair-like protrusions, with a fuller lower half, and a pouch on its abdomen containing a large, round egg.
The Pokemon's expression was gentle and kind.
It happily looked at Baboo and Ice by its side and spoke in a gentle, melodious voice.
"Lucky~"
