Pokemon: Daily Intelligence Updates

#174 - Master Xia, do you think talking about money is too vulgar?

Long Xiao, what does the old man want from me? Could it be there's a problem with the Lileep and Cradily, and he wants after-sales service?

Xia Mu immediately called Elder Long Xiao, wanting to ask about the situation.

After all, Elder Long Xiao is now Xia Mu's biggest sugar daddy, and he also provides Dragon-type resources for his Jangmo-o.

If this relationship is broken, Xia Mu doesn't know where to find a qualified Dragon-type resource supplier.

Even if there is one, it would be ridiculously expensive.

Beep beep beep.

Soon, Elder Long Xiao answered the phone, and a hearty voice came from the receiver.

"Xia Mu, Master Xia, sorry to bother you."

"I'm even bothering you during your competition, for which I express my deepest apologies."

"In fact, there is a sudden emergency that requires you to handle it. I don't know if you have the time?"

Listening to Elder Long Xiao's tone, he didn't seem dissatisfied with him.

Xia Mu's hanging heart fell, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't the Lileep and Cradily that had a problem, otherwise Xia Mu wouldn't know how to explain it to the Long family.

"I have time. I just finished the competition, and I have about three days of rest."

"What do you need me to handle?"

Xia Mu said in a calm tone.

"I have an old partner here who is not feeling well. I don't know if I can ask you to come over and help take a look."

"I've already asked many breeders to take a look, but there hasn't been any improvement in the effect."

After hearing Elder Long Xiao's words, Xia Mu quickly said, "No problem, I'll come over immediately."

At this time, Elder Long Xiao smiled: "Master Xia, there's no rush. The car to pick you up is still on the way."

"Just wait a moment, someone will come to pick you up specifically."

"When the person arrives, they will call you specifically, then I will be waiting for Master Xia's visit in the old house."

After the Grimmsnarl treatment incident, Elder Long Xiao was exceptionally relieved about Xia Mu.

The status of this old partner in Elder Long Xiao's heart is no less than that of Grimmsnarl.

After multiple ineffective treatments by other breeders, he wanted Xia Mu to help treat the Pokémon with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse.

Faced with the sugar daddy, Xia Mu was still very active. He did not let Elder Long Xiao wait long and came to the manor he had been to before.

Elder Long Xiao was pacing back and forth on the ground with his hands behind his back.

When he saw Xia Mu's arrival, a happy expression appeared on his face.

Beside Long Xiao was a huge Noivern, it was opening its big wings and tasting fresh berries.

This Noivern is extremely large.

Its wingspan is probably six meters long, its whole body is purple, and the dragon scales emit a bewitching purple color under the illumination of the incandescent lamp.

It burst out with an extremely terrifying Dragon pressure, but this Dragon pressure is not a big threat to Xia Mu.

It's just that Noivern frowns from time to time, with some pain on its face.

Its stomach is bloated, with a burning sensation.

It can't always swallow the berries, and it gets full after eating a little, which makes Noivern very uncomfortable.

Its figure has also become thinner.

The group of quack doctors has been tormenting it for a long time, and now Noivern has developed post-traumatic stress disorder as soon as it sees someone coming over.

"My old partner will show this expression whenever it eats recently."

"Its temper has also become restless."

"I've already asked many Pokémon breeders, and after prescribing several doses of medicine, there has been no improvement."

"I really have no other way, so I troubled you to come over and help take a look."

Xia Mu walked closer again and saw the appearance of this Noivern clearly.

Elder Long Xiao's Noivern looks very fierce. The fangs protruding from its mouth are like four sharp daggers, emitting a faint chill under the illumination of the incandescent lamp.

Xia Mu felt that if this Noivern used the Boomburst skill, the opponent would definitely be in a lot of pain.

This Noivern has a black face and doesn't even look at Xia Mu.

"Noivern was injured by a breeder when it was young, and was forcibly pressed on the inspection equipment for testing, so it hates inspection equipment very much."

"Once it encounters inspection equipment, it will go crazy and even actively attack the inspection equipment."

"For this reason, we have also paid a lot of money. Usually, if there is any physical discomfort, we let the family's hired Pokémon breeder treat it."

"Usually, when we check its body, it has an unwilling expression."

"And it doesn't like entering the Poké Ball, these are all headaches for me."

Elder Long Xiao felt quite helpless, but this is his main Pokémon, and he couldn't use a tough attitude to order Noivern.

He knows that this Noivern has a stubborn and strong temper. If you are tough on it, its attitude will be even worse.

Only in battle will it be willing to listen to his command.

The recent inspection had already angered this Noivern, so it didn't have a good look on its face when it saw Xia Mu.

Good fellow, another master who doesn't like entering the Poké Ball.

What's the difference between this and Ash's Pikachu and Red's Pikachu?

No wonder he had to invite himself over. Without testing equipment, he simply doesn't know what damage Noivern has suffered.

External injuries can be checked by anyone with eyes, but internal injuries must be detected by testing equipment.

Even an experienced Pokémon doctor, with observation, auscultation, interrogation, and palpation, will sometimes miss something.

Just like Pidgeotto, although it doesn't look like there is any problem on the outside, when using precision instruments for testing, you can see nano-level cracks on its bones.

Xia Mu was also reminded by the intelligence system, and after repeated inspections, he noticed this.

If Noivern is not inspected by instrument equipment, it is difficult to know what exactly happened in its body that would make Noivern so painful.

At this time, Elder Long Xiao emphasized two more sentences.

"Noivern's physical discomfort has made its temper more and more irritable."

"In order to avoid Noivern's situation from continuing to deteriorate, I had no choice but to invite Master Xia over to help take a look."

His meaning is also very obvious, it's not intentional to disturb your competition, but there's really no other way.

I'm doing this because I care about my Pokémon.

At this time, Xia Mu happened to look at Noivern and saw its unruly eyes.

However, there was more or less some impatience in its eyes, as if saying, why are humans here again.

How annoying!

[Pokémon Name: Noivern]

[Gender: Male]

[Aptitude: Purple Aptitude]

[Characteristic: Infiltrator]

[Level: 60]

[Type: Dragon + Flying]

[Skills: Dragon Pulse (Mastered), Outrage (Mastered), Dragon Rush (Mastered), Dragon Claw (Proficient), Hurricane (Proficient), Screech (Proficient), Air Slash (Proficient), Wing Attack (Proficient), Steel Wing (Proficient), Tailwind (Proficient), Whirlwind (Proficient), Agility (Proficient), Extreme Speed (Mastered).]

[Evaluation: This is a Noivern. It has a pure Dragon-type bloodline. It is very good at flying and is very patient with Flying-type Pokémon. There is a large stone in its stomach. As long as it drinks a bucket of cola every day and pays attention to rest, it will naturally recover in three days.]

Damn, a Pokémon with Purple aptitude is really rare.

Currently, the only Pokémon Xia Mu has seen that have reached Purple aptitude are pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

Xia Mu saw that Noivern had a stone in its stomach and looked a little strange.

He understands the principle of stomach stones, mainly because it eats things that are not easy to digest. Fiber and tannic acid are mixed together, occupying the space in the stomach.

This kind of stone is basically benign.

It's just that it occupies the space in the stomach, which may make it difficult for Pokémon to digest. It is estimated that Noivern's stomach stone is not small, so its personality is so irritable.

If it could be tested on a CT machine, everything could be immediately revealed. Even a person who has just passed the breeder exam can give a feasible treatment plan after reading the CT machine report.

It just so happens that this Noivern hates inspection equipment, which is a huge opportunity for Xia Mu.

"Come, let me take a look at Noivern's current state."

Xia Mu took out a stethoscope and approached Noivern step by step.

Noivern showed an impatient look on its face when it saw Xia Mu approaching.

It bared its teeth at Xia Mu, trying to prevent Xia Mu from approaching. Its wings were completely unfolded, trying to deter Xia Mu and prevent him from moving forward.

The terrifying Dragon pressure came like a tsunami, but for Xia Mu, it had no effect.

He walked towards Noivern step by step with a stethoscope in his hand.

“No need to be so agitated, Noivern. I'm not your enemy; I'm here to help you solve your problem.”

Xia Mu gently consoled Noivern, sensing its bravado.

Noivern was truly terrified of the examination equipment, even to the point of being overly sensitive.

The problem Xia Mu needed to solve now was to convince Noivern that he had no ill intentions and to cooperate with his examination.

Only then could Xia Mu draw a reasonable conclusion and prove that there was indeed a large stone in Noivern's stomach.

He opened his hands and turned around in front of Noivern, indicating that he only had a stethoscope and nothing else.

“I'm just giving you a preliminary examination; I don't mean anything else.”

“As a Dragon-type Pokémon, are you afraid of even a simple examination?”

Xia Mu looked at Noivern with a provocative gaze, using reverse psychology to stimulate it.

He knew of Noivern's pride as a Dragon-type Pokémon.

Sure enough, after hearing Xia Mu's words, Noivern's expression calmed down a lot.

It couldn't lose its prestige in front of Xia Mu, lest others think it was afraid of him.

Noivern straightened its chest, with an expression that said, 'Come and examine me.'

When the stethoscope was placed on Noivern's heart, Xia Mu clearly felt Noivern tremble slightly.

A strong and powerful heartbeat came from the stethoscope.

Noivern's scales were glossy, indicating it was in its prime. The wear and tear on its outer scales showed that it frequently engaged in battle.

Xia Mu pretended to probe Noivern's body, frowning as if he were thinking about something.

Finally, he put down the stethoscope and looked up to see Grandpa Long Xiao with a look of tension on his face.

“Xia Mu, what's wrong? What's the matter with my Noivern?”

Xia Mu nodded: “I've basically guessed the reason.”

“I also have a preliminary conclusion.”

“The treatment is very simple; just let Noivern drink a gasoline drum's worth of cola every day.”

“Whether it's iced or room temperature is fine. It's best to drink the cola as soon as possible after opening it, to avoid it going flat.”

Grandpa Long Xiao was stunned after hearing this answer.

Huh?

Drink a drum of cola every day?

Did I hear correctly?

What kind of bizarre treatment is this?

How come I've never heard of it?

Noivern used to love drinking these kinds of beverages, but Grandpa Long Xiao forcibly stopped it after the breeder said it was unhealthy.

Does this mean that drinking beverages is actually healthy?

Xia Mu isn't messing with me, is he?

Grandpa Long Xiao blinked his eyes. The amount of information is too much; I feel like I'm about to grow a brain.

Xia Mu knew what he was thinking when he saw Grandpa Long Xiao's stunned expression, so Xia Mu quickly added a few sentences.

“Cola plays a major therapeutic role in the treatment process; it's considered medicine during the treatment.”

“It's still not advisable to drink too much cola after the treatment is over.”

After hearing Xia Mu's words, Noivern instantly developed a certain fondness for Xia Mu.

This guy openly supports me drinking beverages; he must be a progressive, cultured, and broad-minded comrade.

The expression on Noivern's face also eased a lot, and the resistance in its heart was greatly reduced.

Anyway, I don't have to drink that bitter medicine; instead, I get to drink a whole drum of cola. I'm willing to do that.

I'm wholeheartedly willing to do that.

If it weren't inappropriate to express its opinion at this time, Noivern would have raised both hands and feet in approval of Xia Mu's treatment plan.

A smile appeared on Noivern's face. It seemed to see barrels of cola growing wings and flying towards it in a wonderful scene.

Xia Mu didn't expect his words to win Noivern's favor.

“Alright, then I'll give it a try.”

Grandpa Long Xiao looked dubious.

Then, he seemed to suddenly think of something.

Grandpa Long Xiao clapped his hands, and the butler next to him took out an anonymous black card and handed it to Xia Mu: "This is my reward for you. It's really been hard on you to come here. If Noivern is cured, the reward will be doubled."

Xia Mu gently shook his head and pushed the card away with his hand.

This made Grandpa Long Xiao a little confused.

Master Xia, does he think that talking about money is too vulgar?

At this time, Xia Mu stated his purpose.

“Noivern's illness isn't a big problem. I just came over to take a look and offer a suggestion.”

“I won't charge a fee this time.”

Xia Mu waved his hand, signaling the butler to take the card back.

“Mr. Long Xiao, I have a favor to ask.”

“I have a Pidgeotto and a Swablu, both Flying-type Pokémon. I would like to ask Noivern to give them some guidance.”

Xia Mu's idea was whether he could get Pidgeotto to learn the Extreme Speed move.

If possible, he would also like to guide Swablu, since this guy also has Dragon-type attributes after evolution.

Xia Mu's words won Grandpa Long Xiao's favor.

He laughed loudly: “If you don't mind my Noivern being incompetent, then let it give them some guidance.”

“Oh, right, it's getting late. Why doesn't Little Friend Xia stay in the manor for a few days?”

“It's also a good time to observe Noivern's symptoms.”

“If there are any problems, we can treat them in time.”

“If there are any competitions, we can send you there in a special car.”

Noivern, who was next to him, rolled his eyes when he heard Grandpa Long Xiao's words.

How bad is my performance? Many Pokémon want me to give them guidance, but it all depends on my mood.

Pidgeotto and Swablu are simply too easy.

For the sake of a drum of cola, Noivern is still willing to give some guidance.

Night fell, the stars twinkled, and the lake in the manor gently rippled.

The moon gradually rose, and the moonlight became bright and clear.

The moonlight illuminated a corner of the lake.

Noivern was sitting by the lake, with a cola cup as tall as a person beside it.

The cola cup was covered with frost and exuded a cold chill.

Noivern used a straw the size of a steel pipe, inserted it into the gasoline drum-sized cola cup, and started drinking it gulp after gulp.

The cold cola flowed freely through its throat, and Noivern was in a great mood at this time.

It likes this kind of beverage that has just been taken out of the refrigerator. It's best to add a lot of ice, so it's more enjoyable to drink.

However, Xia Mu specifically told it that adding ice would affect the effect of the treatment, so Noivern had to freeze the cola cup with an Ice Beam to avoid affecting its pleasure of drinking cola.

As soon as the cola went down, dopamine was secreted in its brain, and Noivern made an extremely comfortable sound.

Ah, it's so refreshing.

Noivern hadn't had cola for a long time, and it was so moved at this time that tears were about to fall from its eyes.

It felt like a tourist suffering from heatstroke in the desert, discovering a can of iced cola in the heart of the desert.

All the cells in its body were cheering and saying that it was very satisfied.

Finally, Noivern let out a long burp.

Whether it was because it was in a good mood or what, after drinking a barrel of cola, Noivern felt that the burning sensation in its stomach was instantly reduced a lot.

Pidgeotto and Swablu were flying rapidly in the air, following the methods instructed by Noivern, circling the lake.

After Noivern's guidance, Pidgeotto suddenly became enlightened. Its flying speed was already extremely fast, and after Noivern's teaching, it even touched the threshold of the Extreme Speed move.

When Pidgeotto goes back and practices more, it should be able to master the Extreme Speed move.

Grandpa Long Xiao laughed loudly when he saw that Noivern's condition had improved.

Xia Mu really has unique methods in Pokémon treatment.

If he doesn't die prematurely, Xia Mu will definitely have a place in the Pokémon breeding world.

What's more, Xia Mu has also published many heavyweight papers on Pokémon research, which has attracted the attention of Professor Oak.

It would be a great loss to the Long family if they didn't befriend such a person early on.

“Oh, right, Xia Mu, our Long family has discovered a secret realm. I wonder if you're interested?”
