Chapter 85 Pipa and his Mastiff Godfather

When outside of town, the Flying Taxi will not drop passengers directly in the wild, but will have specially designated fixed stopping points around the Pokémon Center.

Because of the wild geographical environment of the Padiya area, they will definitely not stop casually. After all, they must not only ensure the safety of the driver and passengers, but also the safety of the angry parrots.

After a long time, Hoshino and Pipa got off the bus at a Pokémon center in the first west area.

The Pokémon Center here is unique compared to other areas. It looks a bit like a gas station, and even Miss Joy's outfit makes her look like a gas station worker.

Maybe it was deliberately designed this way because there are trainers riding motorcycle lizards everywhere in the Padia area, but Miss Joy is still very cute, and her hair is braided sideways.

In addition to restoring the physical strength of Pokémon, it can also replenish the energy of the crystal beads here, so you need to come here often...

Hoshino looked into the distance, and saw a row of watchtowers equipped with windmills standing here. The warm wind blew gently, and the windmills also rotated together.

The lake water in the mountain flows down, forming a rapid river that passes through the steep mountainous areas and towns, feeding all the Pokémon living in the surrounding area.

Looking back, Hoshino released the Motorized Lizard, and then said: "The temperature here is quite high. It makes me feel like I'm back in Alola."

"Because there are no time and seasons in the Padia region, with the Padia crater as the center, the four directions correspond to the four seasons. This magical phenomenon is still being studied to this day."

Piper gave him a serious explanation, then walked up the slope ahead, and said: "Find a safe campsite at the foot of the mountain over there, and then split up tomorrow morning to keep in touch."

"Split up?"

"..."

Pipa was silent for a moment, then responded reluctantly: "Actually... I'm not very good at cooperating with others, but if there are special circumstances, I will inform you as soon as possible!"

"..."

Hoshino was speechless for a moment. He had no friends. He was good at cooking, but not good at cooperating with others. How come this setting seemed familiar? No, it was too familiar!

Seeing Pipa walking forward alone, he came to his senses, and then followed with the Motorized Lizard.

The two of them are not considered friends now, but have a similar employment relationship, but Hoshino is very curious about something. If I am right, Pipa's parents...

They should be the two doctors Olin and Futu who invented the Taijing Bead. They have a happy family and they are still the second generation of science. What is there to be unhappy about?

"I don't quite understand you people."

For some reason, Hoshino suddenly thought of Lillie. I heard that she seemed to have been recommended by Senior Nemo to challenge the gym in Shenbo Town. The result is not clear yet, but it is most likely that she sent it...

After a while, the sky turned orange, and the two found a good camping spot at the foot of the mountain.

At a three-way intersection, there is a watchtower behind it. In addition to the direction from which it came, the other two paths lead to the mountain and the dry desert respectively.

"It's fine here. No matter the scenery or anything else, it's perfect for a picnic. Ghost-type Pokémon generally don't come here at night."

Because of the treasure hunting activities, the trainers and students of the academy basically live in the wild. Picnic and camping skills are a must, and Pipa is obviously very good at this.

Hoshino watched him skillfully take out the tent from his backpack and start setting it up. Then thinking of what he just said, he curiously asked: "Are there really many ghost-type Pokémon in Padia?"

"Well, they all appear in the wilderness at night. I have read a statement without specific statistics that the frequency and number of ghost-type Pokémon in Padia are three times that of other areas!"

"three times?!"

"There are no statistics, no one knows whether it is true or not, but there are indeed more ghost-type Pokémon in Padia than in other areas, but most of them will not attack you if you don't get close."

"Really... maybe it's because this land has a lot of yin energy, so it's very suitable for them to live in."

Hoshino guessed this, and then he didn't care about it anymore. He took out the tent and started to set it up. The Motorized Lizard came over to help him.

The scenery here is really nice, and occasionally other students will pass by and say hello to them.

He would still respond, but Pipa didn't reply. He kept busy with his own things, lighting a fire and setting up a pot to boil water, and then took out the ingredients and started preparing dinner.

Hoshino looked at it curiously, wanting to know how he cooks. The chefs of Padia and the cooks of Alola cannot be generalized, and the styles of cooking are definitely different, so you can do some research...

"Are you making a sandwich?"

Piper nodded and responded, "A picnic is soulless without sandwiches."

"Really? I think fried noodles are better. If you have enough time, you can add some barbecue, and sandwiches are usually only eaten for breakfast, right?"

"Meow~"

New Leaf Cat suddenly appeared, and it agreed very much with this statement, but Pipa stopped what he was doing, turned around, and looked at them with a serious expression.

"You're right, but I think we could put this all on a sandwich for dinner!"

"..."

Hearing this, Hoshino did not refute, but fell into deep thought, because it seemed to make sense, but can a sandwich fit so much?

"Meow?"

Xinye Meow was confused. He didn't really want to eat the sandwich. He even vomited after eating it in Padya.

Whether it's on the street or someone else's picnic, there are sandwiches everywhere. The Padians are so obsessed with sandwiches that even the local cats can't resist them.

However, Hoshino was quite interested, and then he started to take out his own things and said, "Then leave the fried noodles and barbecue to me."

"Well... then I'll leave it to you."

Pipa originally wanted to refuse, because this was his opportunity to perform, but he also wanted to see how good Hoshino's cooking skills were.

So the two began to divide the work and work together to make dinner, and unknowingly they cooperated. New Ye Miao looked disappointed that he was going to be hungry tonight, and Gengar patted its head to express its relief.

"Meow……"

After a while, the sky gradually darkened, and time always passed so fast.

The campfire lit up the entire campsite, and sandwiches of various shapes were placed on the table. The aroma was fragrant and the shapes were very beautiful.

Next to it is the fish soup made from the fat meat discarded after the shells of wild cod are blasted. The sight of the snow-white soup will greatly increase your appetite.

The Motorized Lizard grabbed the sandwich and started eating it. His expression was unprecedentedly happy, and he seemed to like eating it very much. Gengar didn't have a big appetite and was never picky about food, but Xinye Miao couldn't bring himself to eat it.

Hoshino put it on his lap and sat on it, then picked up a sandwich and tore it in half, took a bite himself, and handed over the other half.

"It's delicious. Are you sure you don't want to eat it?"

"Meow……"

Xinye Miao pouted and her eyes flickered several times, but this was what Hoshino fed it, so she could only take a bite with great reluctance, but the next second...

"Meow!"

Seeing Xinye Miao covering her face and shaking excitedly, Hoshino gave the sandwich directly to it and said with a smile: "I'll tell you."

"Meow~"

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

Hoshino was really surprised. Just now, the cat hated eating sandwiches, but he didn't expect that he would eat them right away, and the motorcycle lizard actually liked them too.

He was only responsible for making some of the ingredients for this sandwich, and the rest was all made by Pipa alone. The result was unexpected. It seemed that he could learn from the other party's craftsmanship...

"Your cooking skills are indeed quite..."

Hoshino was about to praise the other party, but suddenly realized that Pipa did not release the Pokémon, but just sat there quietly and took a few bites of the sandwich.

"Where's your Pokémon?"

"It's not hungry yet..."

Pipa closed her eyes and responded. Hoshino frowned slightly. It felt like there was a story in it, but the other party didn't seem to want to tell it.

However, he would not take the initiative to ask about this kind of thing directly. After dinner, he was ready to rest. The plan was to start climbing the mountain in the morning to find the Lord of the Sky, so he had better rest first.

After seeing Hoshino return to the tent to rest, and waiting for a while, Pipa finally took action and took out a Poké Ball to release the Pokémon.

A red light flashed, and a large gray dog ​​appeared from it. The hair on its head was combed to its tail like a big back, its ears were drooping, but it was lying listlessly on the ground.

Looking at the dog, Pipa's eyes flashed with sadness, then she took a sandwich from the table and fed it to him, with a forced smile on her face.

"Godfather Mastiff, I made the sandwich with someone else today. I don't know if it tastes like yours or not, but it's delicious. Eat some to cheer up."

"..."

The Mastiff Godfather didn't respond, he still looked listless, but he still raised his head very reluctantly, took the sandwich in his mouth, and ate it.

Seeing the other party's state, Pipa gritted his teeth and felt weak. Then he clenched his fists and said, "When I find all the seasonings, then..."

"Mastiff woo..."

"Um?!"

Before Pipa finished speaking, he heard the Mastiff Godfather shouting, and he suddenly became excited: "Do you like the taste? There are some here, you can eat them all!"

But at this moment, slow footsteps and Hoshino's voice suddenly came from behind: "Is this Mastiff Godfather your Pokémon?"
