Chapter 95 The Choice Brought by the Second Fire Stone

"The fire stones of the Red Lotus Volcano are brighter than those of the Light Volcano. Is there a difference between the fire stones produced in different places?"

Walking out of the ruins of the True Red Lotus Gym, Zhou You registered his information at the hot spring hotel opened by Xia Bo, and then went to the ruins of the Pokémon House while playing with the new fire stone.

After learning from Xia Bo that the Red Lotus Research Institute had already collapsed due to a certain incident, and only a few people were still doing basic research inside and refused to see guests, he had to change his original sightseeing plan.

Like the Pokémon House, the Pokémon House is where Dr. Fuji, who loves elves, lives. There used to be elves from all over the world living together with humans in this mansion, but it was burned to ruins after a certain incident.

Now, there are only elves such as Gas Bomb, Slime, and Rattata here.

In the game, there is a 1% chance of encountering Ditto in the outer layer of the Pokémon House, and a 10% chance of encountering Ditto in the deeper layer.

Therefore, Zhou You also wanted to try to find one - Ditto is quite rare in this world.

If he wants to open a breeding house in the future, Ditto should be one of the indispensable (?) Pokémon.

Preparing in advance can also help to exercise abilities and cultivate feelings earlier.

However, considering that thieves and crazy scientists occasionally appear here to explore the treasures and research materials that Dr. Fuji once left here, and that they often attack people they regard as "colleagues", Zhou You put the leftovers out in advance just in case.

"Woof!"

The energetic cry echoed in the empty and dilapidated ruins of the Pokémon House, announcing its arrival to everyone in it.

Zhou You: "..."

After a while, the leftovers that exploded accidentally have recovered to full status. It seems that the meditation on the ship before not only allowed him to feel the bond between himself and the Pokémon, but also improved his healing ability.

Gas bombs and stinky mud came at the sound, but they were repelled by the leftovers who had just recovered their health with flame wheels and jet flames respectively.

Without encountering other humans, it can deal with wild Pokémons by itself without command.

As for why Charmander is not called out to gain experience...

"I don't know if Arthur can adapt to the fire energy inside the Red Lotus Volcano at this stage." Zhou You pondered, "When we go back tonight, we will make an exception and go to a restaurant to bring him a big meal to cheer him up."

Just before leaving, Xia Bo recommended him the imported hairy cliff crab dishes from a restaurant in the port. They were plump, fresh, fragrant, and not greasy, and they were extremely meaty.

It's a pity that there is still a month and a half before autumn. It's a rare opportunity to come to a coastal city, so Zhou You can't eat the large crab claws that are a local specialty of Kanto.

Just like the shedding of snakes and cicadas, the claws and feet of crab Pokémons will automatically fall off and grow new ones during the growth process. This pure natural and renewable ingredient has fulfilled many foodies among humans.

"Then how about buying some high-quality ingredients and making the pickled fish you gave me last time at Xia Bo's hotel?" Eden strongly recommended, "Considering that this time it is used to reward Arthur who is preparing to evolve with the help of volcanic energy, I am not against adding some spiciness."

"Very good, then let's eat pickled fish tonight. I saw that there are wild sea bass for sale in the vegetable market. Let's buy a few blue stripes and red stripes to try the taste."

"(Excited) Woof!"

When he heard about eating, tears flowed from the corners of the leftovers' mouth, and he immediately wanted to throw himself into Zhou You's arms to show his affection.

"???"

Then it found the Fire Stone in the other's hand.

Didn't you agree not to use me for breeding? What's the matter with this Fire Stone! ?

"You ask this, this is what Eden fished out of the volcanic lava with his supernatural power. Superpower, it's very convenient, right?"

The leftovers breathed a sigh of relief immediately.

The experience of spitting out a bunch of fairy milk for no reason and being called mother, and the experience of being put into its mouth every now and then, cast a shadow on the heart of this dog who had just reached adulthood.

Moreover, Xia Bo wanted to breed it for nothing more than to inherit the fire of life, but it did not master this kind of fire at all, and it was all charged by Zhou You, so it was impossible to pass it on to the next generation no matter how it was bred.

Isn't this just a scam.jpg

The dog who grew up in the Kanto Police Dog Training Base knows a lot about this.

After all, Junsha and others are also training Caterpie...

However, looking at the second Fire Stone in Zhou You's hand, it showed an eager expression again.

This is the second Fire Stone, it should be Wang's turn to evolve, right?

Looking at the other party's eager eyes, Zhou You had mixed feelings.

He undoubtedly hoped that the leftovers would evolve, and the wind speed dog was handsome, strong, and a legendary Pokémon, so why not?

But Shengfan has not yet mastered the reverse scale and playfulness. Will it be the best state if it evolves into a wind speed dog without fully developing?

So he decided to give the choice to the elf himself.

After explaining the pros and cons to Shengfan, Zhou You spread the fire stone in his palm and slowly filled it with his Phoenix Flame.

The bright orange-red Fire Stone, like lava, burst into golden-red brilliance, and the brilliance filled the entire Pokémon House, even suppressing the brilliance of the sun above!

"Actually, I have some knowledge of my obsessive-compulsive disorder, so it's up to you to decide, Leftovers, whether to use this Fire Stone to evolve."

No matter what choice Leftovers makes, Zhou You will accept it without hesitation.

"Do you still need to consider this?" Eden complained, "If Qiao Qiao were to choose, you wouldn't be able to evolve without polishing every aspect to perfection in two or three years."

"Woof?"

Leftovers looked at the figure that looked exactly like his master, sniffed, isn't this Eden, didn't you evolve either?

Eden shook his head: "You ask me? I decided not to evolve myself."

First, after evolving, when I return to my hometown in the future, my former relatives may not recognize me.

Second, Eden wants to prove that even if it doesn't evolve, it is no worse than Zoroark.

Third, and most importantly, Zhou You has made it clear that if it evolves, he can't sleep with it every night.

It's okay to sleep with Zoroark, who is the size of a puppy, but it's too weird to sleep with Zoroark, who is generally 1.6 meters tall and is almost human.

Although there are many pictures on a certain website, people can't, at least they shouldn't.

After struggling for a long time, Leftovers asked Zhou You the last question: "Woof?"

After evolving, can Woof still eat enough?

He has actually seen the size and appetite of Arcanine.

Although it's a bit rude to say this, his master is still quite poor. Until now, he still relies on Zoroark to help Professor Oak translate the elf language to make money.

Zhou You: I didn't rush to let you evolve into Arcanine because I considered this.
