Chapter 143 Picking up a nosy little dolphin by the river

After making an agreement with Paipa to challenge the Rock Wall Master in the Southern District next month, Hoshino's new life in the Padia area has officially begun.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and he had basically settled down in the college, and many students and teachers already knew that the guy who defeated Nemo last year was here again this year.

This shows that Hoshino still has a certain reputation in this college, but he doesn't care about it. After adapting to campus life for a few days, he has to leave the college and go out to hunt for treasures.

Treat travel as a treasure hunt and training as a treasure hunt. What is important is not the result, but the process. It depends on what you experienced during the treasure hunt.

Hoshino kept this in mind, and did not choose to take a flying taxi when he left for the first time. The process was the most interesting. He chose to hike and ride a motorcycle, starting from the west gate of Table City and starting the trip.

Early February…

The western district of Padia has higher temperatures and a drier climate, presenting more of an autumn scene. However, the area where Hoshino is currently located is at the junction of the western and southern districts, close to a river.

The source of this river happens to be on the high mountain where Lord Changkong is located. Standing here, you can see the mountain peak from a distance, but you will probably never go there again... maybe.

However, this place is also relatively close to Yuanmo Town. He deliberately chose to practice around it, planning to go there and challenge the gym when it was almost done.

Lillie had challenged it before, but unfortunately she lost. When they were about to fight again, the time had come and they all went back to Alola. It was a pity and they could only wait until they had the opportunity to come back again.

So he chose this place first. On the one hand, he could verify the results after training, and on the other hand, he could finish his regret as a young lady.

What's a little strange is that from last Christmas to now, for more than a month, Lillie seemed to be deliberately avoiding him. Anyway, most of the messages she sent fell into the dark.

Occasionally, he might be annoyed, so he would give a very perfunctory reply. I originally wanted Mitsuki to help ask what was going on, but instead he was scolded, saying that he knew what he had done.

Although he really didn't know anything, the Riddler's attitude was quite baffling and uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to ask anyone else about it.

Moreover, there are many things at hand right now, including challenging the treasure master and dealing with the Tianxing team. If there is anything else, we can wait until after the Youth Cup...

"Maomao, what do you want to eat in the morning? After we have eaten and drank, we will go to Yuanmo Town."

Hoshino lit a fire and shouted toward the tent again and again. Unfortunately, Xinye Miao was still sleeping under the quilt. The temperature inside the tent was quite comfortable now, and there was just enough sunlight to shine through.

"Meow meow..."

Because Newleaf has the largest appetite and has very high requirements for food, he usually asks cats what they want to eat. As long as the cats want to eat, other Pokémon will also like to eat it.

"..."

"Forget it, Gengar, what's for breakfast? Do you want fish? The Motorized Lizard couldn't catch any fish in the morning, so it went to the river to catch it. I'll let it catch a few more."

"Gengar~"

Geng Gui said that it always doesn't matter. It is not picky about food and will eat whatever is available. The same goes for Suo Cai Ling, who has a small appetite and can eat half a fish.

After unremitting efforts, Suo Cai Ling's gold plating progress has finally reached an astonishing 20%, and one-fifth of the gold plating has been completed. This is all due to his own efforts in picking up coins in Kabukicho and his work.

Hoshino did not give it much help in this regard. Although putting all the deposits in can reach more than 40% of the gold plating progress, this is too much of a loss unless it can be fully charged at once.

Gold plating is very effective in improving Suo Cai Ling's strength. He can learn Sai Fuhao's moves directly without teaching and become proficient quickly.

However, the slow progress of gold plating has also resulted in an insignificant improvement in strength, making it difficult to be useful in battles. Most of the time, it is just a pendant.

Therefore, Hoshino is now focusing more on the training of Xinye Miao and Suo Cailing. Gengar can feel at ease, although due to the change in attributes, he cannot use poison-type moves.

But many fairy-type moves can be learned, such as playing... I just don't know if Soul Shock can be learned. He can't find a hairy troll to teach him, so he doesn't know yet.

Normally, only Hairy Trolls and Iron Warriors can learn this trick, but this is the real world of Pokémon. Pokémon have no limits. As long as you believe you can do it, you will definitely be able to do it!

Just as Hoshino was thinking about this, the Motorized Lizard who was fishing in the river suddenly appeared on the surface of the river. It seemed that he had discovered something and kept shouting at him.

"Mo Lizard!"

"What's wrong? The fish was bitten by the Carp King?"

Hoshino stopped what he was doing, then stood up and looked around. He saw the Motorized Lizard dragging a bunch of river fish up and throwing it up. Then he was holding a blue dolphin in his hand. It seemed that he had fainted from drowning?

"???"

After a while, the Motorized Lizard dragged the fainted dolphin out of the river and threw it to the shore. Then he pointed at the thing and shouted, as if asking whether the fish was big or if it could be eaten.

Hoshino stretched out his hand and patted it on the head gently, and said: "You definitely can't eat it. This is a dolphin, not a pufferfish... Even if the pufferfish has not been processed, you can't eat it casually!"

"Mo Lizard..."

"Where did you fish it out from? Can there be dolphins in this river?"

Looking at the little dolphin in front of me, which is nearly one meter long and has a water ring on its tail fin, I intuitively estimate that this guy is only one or two years old and has not yet grown to a normal mature size.

However, Hoshino is a little confused as to why there are Pop Dolphins here. It is very far from the sea, and there is no possibility of Pokémon living in the sea.

"Mo Lizard..."

The Motorized Lizard explained that it saw several Pokéducks bullying the fainted dolphin in the river, and then it saw this Pokémon for the first time, so it fished it out as a fish.

.

"You must have been knocked unconscious by Kodak, right?"

Hoshino looked at this popper dolphin and could only guess this way, but it was obvious that this was a wild Pokémon that had not been cultivated. Could it be that it swam from the sea alone? That would be too strong.

However, it was also the first time that he saw Popper's dolphin with his own eyes, so he touched it. The skin was moist, very smooth, and felt very good. It would be very refreshing to hold it while sleeping in the summer.

Perhaps because it was suddenly being kneaded by someone's dirty hands, Popper's dolphin suddenly woke up, lit up its sky-blue iridescent pupils, and looked to the side.

"Yiwu?"

"Um?"

Hearing the sound of Popper's dolphin, Hoshino was a little surprised. He originally thought it would be a high-decibel sound like an ordinary dolphin, but he didn't expect it to be a beautiful and soft sound, which was very comfortable to listen to.

Finding that the other party was not panicked, but looked at him with a puzzled look on his face, he took his hand back, then showed a friendly smile and asked: "Little guy, why did you come here? My Motorized Lizard just saw you.

If you were bullied by the ducks in the river, they would fish you out."

"Mo Lizard~"

Biker squatted aside and said hello in a friendly manner, while Popper didn't seem to be as afraid of people as ordinary wild Pokémon.

It swung its tail and filled the water ring on its tail fin with water to float itself up. Unfortunately, it couldn't float too high, otherwise it would break. Then it shook its head and yelled in rebuttal.

"Yiwu!"

After understanding the meaning, Hoshino asked: "You said you were not bullied, but just playing with them? What are you playing with? You can make yourself faint..."

"Woo!"

Popper's dolphin pouted its lips, as if you don't believe it, just forget it. It looks quite cute.

Seeing that it continued to be arrogant, Hoshino did not expose it, and then he was ready to continue cooking. He would finish breakfast first. Since this guy was resurrected with full health, if there is nothing else, just let him leave...

Suo Cailing sat on Gengar's head, then walked around and came back with a gold coin with a laurel wreath pattern in his hand. He was very happy, and he didn't know who the unlucky guy was who dropped it.

"Jiwagu~"

"Gengar~"

"Yiwu!"

Noticing them coming, Popper's dolphin suddenly floated over, then looked at the gold coin, as if he had something to say.

"Jiwagu?"

Suo Cailing looked at it with confusion and caution. A fish jumped out of nowhere, could fly, and was staring at his gold coins.

"Yiwu!"

Popper's dolphin swung its pectoral fins like little hands, teaching it sternly that it should return the things it picked up to its original owner instead of picking them back up.

Seeing the fish criticizing his behavior, Suo Cailing's expression suddenly became worse. This is what he needs in life, who are you to care about me?

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two parties was getting more and more strange, Gengar quickly stepped forward and began to smooth things over. He is very good at this. Everything is in harmony, so don't make sudden moves.

Listening to the noise outside the tent, Xinye Meow, who was still sleeping, felt his stomach growl and woke up from hunger. Then he got out of the quilt and walked out.

He glanced at it subconsciously in a daze, and when he saw a big blue fish floating in the air, he immediately widened his eyes and couldn't believe it. Then he kicked the ground hard and pounced on it without hesitation, and then took a bite

Biting on the tail of a popper dolphin.

"Meow!"

"Woo!!!"

Popper's dolphin fell to the ground, the corners of its eyes were shining brightly, and the pain caused by its tail made it roll on the ground immediately, and it was about to cry.

Hearing the commotion, Hoshino, who was making fish soup, ran over to check on the situation.

Then I saw New Leaf Meow biting Popper's dolphin, and both guys were about to roll into the river. Several Kodak ducks were still laughing at this on the other side.

"What are you doing! What are you doing!"

Hoshino was also convinced. He always made trouble when he woke up, and immediately stepped forward to separate them. Xinye Miao still looked confused, while Popper Dolphin refrained from crying and looked at them resentfully.

After asking Gengar about the situation, Hoshino finally figured out what happened. There was no fuss there, so he left it alone. Since it was the cat that bit the dolphin first, as a trainer, he must be responsible.

He looked at Popper Dolphin and said: "Then you can have breakfast here before leaving. Although I don't know what you think, I still suggest that guys without strength should not stir up trouble everywhere."

"Yiwu!"

Popper's dolphin looked dissatisfied and almost said something like "I can beat ten". However, in fact, whether he can beat Suo Cailing may be a problem.

Suo Cailing ignored this guy and threw the gold coins he had just picked up into his small vault. The gold plating was completed, but strangely, this time the progress bar actually increased by 0.1%!

"Um?"

Hoshino noticed this instantly, because only he could see the progress bar, so he immediately stepped forward and asked curiously: "What did you throw in just now?"

"Jiwagu~"

Suo Cailing waved his hands and explained, and also described the appearance of the gold coin. It was the first time he had seen that kind of gold coin, but the reaction in the tentacles proved that the thing was real.

"A gold coin with a laurel wreath?"

Hoshino touched his chin and fell into deep thought for a moment, feeling like he had seen it somewhere before.

Then I took out my mobile phone and searched for it. I couldn't find detailed information online, but I found similar gold coins on the Magikarp King second-hand trading platform.

He immediately showed the picture to Suo Cailing and asked, "Is it like this?"

"Jiwagu~"

Seeing Suo Cailing nodded, he also clicked in and took a look, ignoring the price. This kind of antique was not something he could afford. The price was ridiculously high. He was just curious and wanted to know more...

"After the Padian Empire ruled the Padian region two thousand years ago, the royal family specially created special gold coins with the imperial royal crest. The cost was extremely expensive, and they were gold coins that could not be traded and circulated. They only had status symbol and commemorative significance...

…”

After reading this, Hoshino seemed to think of something, which was the fortune-seeking spirit in the form of a treasure box. The treasure box seemed to be filled with such gold coins. He had seen it during the TV lottery.

"Good guy!"

He suddenly realized that if one such gold coin could increase the price by 0.1%, then a thousand gold coins would be enough to fill it up? Maybe one thousand coins are not needed, 999 coins may be enough!

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a way to get rich. While traveling in Padea, he could go for a walk in those ruins. Maybe he could find this kind of gold coin? The evolution of the wealth spirit is no longer a dream!

"Okay, great, just do it like this!"

This is faster than spending several years saving money, and it also requires a lot of luck, so Padiya is really a treasure hunt, and this time it is really a treasure hunt.

"Let's go to the ruins to pick up gold coins when we have time!"

"Jiwagu~"

Seeing Hoshino and Suo Cailing suddenly laughing, Pop Dolphin, who had been waiting for a long time, became even more unhappy and began to strongly condemn!

"Yiwuyiwu!"

"ha?"

Hoshino came back to his senses, then looked at the little dolphin. After being stunned for a while, he asked: "You asked me not to pick up things left by others? But isn't it the place where we go treasure hunting in places like ruins?

"

"Yiwu!"

Popper's dolphin waved its pectoral fins and continued to strongly condemn with a serious face. You are destroying ruins and picking up things left by the ancients. This is illegal!

After understanding what it meant, Hoshino shook his head helplessly, then stretched out his hand and patted it gently on the head, asking, "I said... you like to be nosy too much, right?"
