Pokémon Origins

Chapter 15: Picnic for Two

Tianhai Great Forest

"Lalu~"

"Cha-pa!"

......

Under Su Xier's treatment, several elves quickly woke up and surrounded Su Xier to happily celebrate their victory.

"Alright! The tent is set up, and I've installed the grill as well. Let's go get some food first."

Zi Mu on the side clapped his hands, it’s done!

"By the way, Xier, can you grill fish?" Zi Mu asked, looking at Su Xier who was smiling happily because of the elves.

"Ah?" Su Xier blushed and stammered, "No... I know... a little bit..."

Zi Mu cast a suspicious look at her, looking up and down at this "all-round" intermediate elf breeder.

"I...I...can prepare the fish meat and string it up!" Su Xier felt uncomfortable being stared at, and her brain quickly worked, "And I can catch fish. Larulas is very good at catching fish!"

"Well, then you go catch the fish. If you let me fish, I don't know when I will catch any fish..." Zi Mu looked at Su Xier who was acting righteously, then looked at Larulas who was patting his chest to show "I can do it", and nodded helplessly.

There are generally two types of goods in this world, one is training supplies, and the other is daily necessities.

Trainer supplies refer to everything related to Pokémons, while daily necessities refer to items that people commonly use. For example, a normal fishing rod and a Pokémon fishing rod, although both are used for fishing, the types of fishing are very different.

Ordinary fishing rods sold in daily necessities stores can only catch fish without spirit energy, and wild spirits will not take the bait. On the contrary, spirit fishing rods do not have fish hooks, but rely on special energy to cooperate with spirit bait to attract fish spirits. When the spirits approach, the energy of the fishing rod will be guided through the line, instantly paralyzing the spirits and only sticking to them.

That's right, in addition to elves, there are a lot of other creatures in this world. In addition to some animals that Zimu is familiar with, many new creatures are not found on Earth. These creatures cannot evolve, do not have elf energy, and cannot use elf skills. They are high-quality table delicacies... Oh no, they are the components of a beautiful ecosystem!

The human body cannot withstand excessive spirit energy, so people living in this world usually eat spirits without spirit energy. Of course, nothing is absolute, and some spirits are also very expensive on the menu.

"Xiaohuo, you come and make the fire. Monkey Monster, you follow me. Young Kiras, Round Land Shark, you stay here to protect Su Xier!"

After a round of negotiation, Su Xier turned around and carried Ralts to the creek next to the convertible. Although Pokémon generally do not eat ordinary creatures, they are good at helping trainers catch fish and hunt. Like Ralts, using his telekinesis, he can easily drive the fish into the fishing net.

Camping and picnics with only grilled fish are a bit boring, but of course, tree fruits and fruit juice are indispensable! This is why Zi Mu brought the monkey monster into the forest.

Monkey Pokémons mostly live in the jungle, not for any other reason, but because the trees in the jungle are denser and there are many vines for them to swing on. For monkey Pokémon, it is simply heaven!

There are many uses for berries, the first of which is to eat them directly. Unlike fruits, berries can be eaten directly by Pokémon or humans like fruits, but a considerable number of berries have many magical effects. For example, eating pockmarked berries can remove the paralysis of Pokémon; poison berries can poison the opponent; calming berries can calm wild Pokémon down, etc.

The second use is as a raw material for food. Through the practice of many researchers, it is known that tree fruits can not only be used as raw materials for other foods, but also can be squeezed into delicious drinks and even used to make ice cream. Intermediate elf breeders are experts in making tree fruit food. They can make more effective and targeted elf food or medicine according to the tastes and needs of elves with different personalities.

The third use is also the most unique one: making Poké Balls. There is a category of tree fruits called spherical cones, which, as the name suggests, are spherical fruits. These fruits come in many colors, and different Poké Balls can be made based on the different colors of the fruits.

For example, the most common Poké Ball is made of red and white cones, which has a small chance of catching Pokémons and is the most basic Poké Ball. The Super Ball made of blue and white cones has a slightly higher chance of catching Pokémons. The highest-level Poké Ball currently on the market is the Advanced Ball made of yellow and black cones, which has twice the chance of catching Pokémons as the red and white Poké Balls! As for the more effective Special Balls, Expert Balls, Ultimate Balls, Master Balls, etc., their berries are very scarce and are directly controlled by the governments of various countries. They are "nationally protected animals" among Poké Balls.

Of course, there are still many kinds of Poké Balls on the market that are developed by families, Pokémon organizations or private enterprises and are also sold on the market. Special Poké Balls are Poké Balls that can increase the chance of catching Poké Balls under certain conditions. If they are not under certain conditions, their effects are the same as those of ordinary red and white Poké Balls.

Poké Balls have different prices, which are set by the International Trainer Alliance. The uniform price of red and white Poké Balls is 5000 yuan each, the price of Ultra Balls is 10000 yuan each, and the price of Advanced Balls is as high as 20000 yuan! The price of special Poké Balls is not directly controlled by the Alliance, and is generally more expensive. Trainers who have clear goals generally do not buy them.

......

Tianhai Forest is worthy of being the most famous forest in Nanlin Province. Even in the outskirts of the forest, there are many different kinds of fruit. About an hour later, Zimu brought the monkey monster back to the camp. A space grid in the storage belt was filled with fruit of different flavors!

"Are you back? See if these many fish are enough?" After seeing Zi Mu coming back, Su Xier put down her hands that were processing the grilled fish skewers, jumped to Zi Mu's side, pointed at her fishing net, and asked mischievously.

Su Xier brought Lalu Las back to the tent early. With the help of Lalu Las's telekinesis, the fishing efficiency was very high!

Following Su Xier's finger, there were several large plates with blue and white porcelain prints on the empty grass. Five fish had been processed and placed neatly on the plates. In the large net that Su Xier used to catch fish, there was a rustling sound of fish struggling. Obviously, there were still a few big fish!

"Leave these to me!"

Zi Mu took out a gray blanket, put all the collected fruits on it, took out a bottle of pure water to wash his hands, and walked excitedly towards the few "lucky ones"...
