Pokémon: The King of Extras

The next day.

Early in the morning, one person and one Pokémon stood in front of the mirror, brushing their teeth and washing their faces with sleepy eyes.

Zoroa, who had grown to the length of her little arm, buried her head in the pool, blew a few bubbles, squinted her eyes and raised her head.

Yu Zhou wiped her face with a towel and spit out the mouthwash.

He stretched out his arm, and the little guy jumped onto his shoulder lightly.

Yawning, Yu Zhou wiped the water stains on his face, went to the living room, and began to prepare breakfast for Zoroa.

A bottle of Moo Moo Milk and a whole energy cube.

"Eat more, we are going to explore the wild today."

"Huh?"

"Go to the park, you will meet many Pokémon."

Zoroa shrank his neck and subconsciously looked at the schoolbag where he stayed yesterday.

Yu Zhou did not see the little guy's subconscious resistance. He skillfully cut the energy cube into a size suitable for young Pokémon to eat, and then poured in fresh Moo Moo Milk.

With the addition of fresh milk, the aroma of this breakfast immediately began to spread.

Soraya immediately turned her eyes to the small bowl.

The uneasiness about the unknown was quickly dispelled by this irresistible fragrance.

Seeing that she was eating very happily, Yu Zhou also ordered a takeaway, and then did a final check.

Tent, folding chair, stove, insect repellent...

After confirming that everything was complete, Yu Zhou tried to carry the full backpack.

"It seems okay."

The weight was acceptable. Yu Zhou moved a few times and found that it was okay even if he jogged.

It seems that the money was worth spending.

Yu Zhou was very relieved.

Although the exploration equipment worth tens of thousands of yuan was only considered entry-level in the circle, it was also a considerable expense for him.

After breakfast, Yu Zhou changed into a thin jacket and overalls, carried an exploration backpack, shouldered Soraya, and came to the gate of the community to take a taxi.

Zoroya, who is timid by nature, hid his whole body in the corner behind his head and backpack, with only a curious big head showing.

Occasionally, when he saw someone looking at him, he would immediately shrink back and hold Yu Zhou's head tightly with his claws.

Yu Zhou: "..."

After getting on the online car-hailing service, the vehicle stopped at the south gate of Huaxi Park after about half an hour's journey.

As one of the largest parks in Shanghai, many people come here to exercise and run in the morning.

When he felt tired, he took out the snacks he brought with him and played with wild Pokémon in the name of feeding.

When Yu Zhou just got off the car, he saw a young girl handing over food while scratching the chin of an Eevee.

The young Eevee almost sank under the girl's skillful movements, and his face was full of comfort and comfort.

Zoroya looked at this scene with horror.

It was the season when the summer vacation was about to end. The entrance of the park was full of the fragrance of flowers and grass. Looking from outside the door, the endless green jungle and grass were refreshing.

"Hu~" Take a deep breath and exhale slowly.

An illusory eye that cannot be detected by others peeled off from him and turned on the recording mode.

"This is it." Yu Zhou said to Zoroya who was hiding behind his head, "Don't be afraid, there will be fewer people when you go into the park."

"Ah~"

Yu Zhou weighed his schoolbag and walked into Huaxi Park.

In the outer area, the green plants and flowers still have obvious artificial traces, and there are not many Pokémon. There are pedestrians jogging on the main road and the small road.

There are also three people on the road, carrying camping props, as if they are going to camp together.

When passing by him, he waved very friendly.

Yu Zhou returned a smile and walked into another path leading to the inside.

Half an hour later, under the inspection of the park caretaker, Yu Zhou showed his alliance identity card.

"Please take this with you." The caretaker took a look and handed over a bracelet. "This is an emergency call device. If you encounter an unsolvable accident, please start calling for help immediately."

"Thank you." Yu Zhou took the call device and put it on his wrist.

Similar things are available at every entrance to the wilderness or deep in the park. They are free benefits distributed by the alliance.

Of course, rescue is not free.

Different rescue fees will be charged according to the danger level, distance and situation of the area.

If you have this thing when you are lost in the wilderness, you only need 20,000 alliance coins to be rescued... Well, it's not cheap.

But compared to the life-threatening situation, it's very good to spend some money to enjoy professional rescue.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Zhou stepped into the passage opened by the caretaker.

As soon as he entered the second area, the atmosphere changed immediately.

In an area where few people go, ancient trees cover the sky.

The air is cool, even a little cold, and the desolate and wild atmosphere makes Soroya, who came to such a place for the first time, shrink his neck in fear.

For Yu Zhou, it is somewhat familiar.

After all, he had just walked through a place even more desolate than this place a few days ago.

"The road ahead is a little dangerous, you can't hide from me." Yu Zhou stretched out his hand and hugged Soraya into his arms.

He knew who to rely on in Huaxi Park.

"Ah~"

Although his face was a little pale with fear, Soraya still shouted bravely.

But he didn't dare to jump down...

Yu Zhou didn't force her to walk at his feet, but cheered up and walked on the artificial path.

As an area that is often visited by people, this jungle is not that dangerous.

At every big corner, there are free water and firewood, as well as extra props left in boxes by kind people.

Yu Zhou took a look and found that there were some things like utility knives, engineer shovels, lighters, which were not of high value but very useful for outdoor life.

He had already prepared, so he didn't need to take anything and continued to walk inside.

The illusory eye suspended above his head floated into the air from time to time to take some panoramic shots.

Soroya pricked up his ears and vigilantly observed every move nearby.

Just after turning into the third path, Yu Zhou's sight stopped in a bush and blinked in surprise.

"There is such a thing..."

The illusory eye zoomed in and reflected the things in the bush.

It was a red wild grass that looked ordinary.

Mature powerful vanilla

Item description: After the Pokémon carries it, the moves that need to be charged can be released immediately, and one piece can only take effect once.

"Oh?" The young and ignorant Soroya tilted his head in confusion.

"This is red vanilla." The Illusionary Eye moved closer, and Yu Zhou took on the task of popularizing science and explained the specific effects.

"Oh..." Soroya seemed to understand.

"In outdoor exploration, in addition to the sense of accomplishment of conquering an area and the unknown experience ahead, the biggest gain is props like this."

Yu Zhou smiled, not only to Soroya, but also to the approaching Illusionary Eye, saying, "A mature red vanilla is worth 2,000 Alliance coins per leaf, and a wild one like this can be bought for 3,000 Alliance coins per leaf."

"Generally speaking, all the leaves of cultivated red vanilla can be picked, but it is better to pick less of the wild one, so that it can retain its vitality and allow later people to pick it."

This vanilla has a total of seven leaves. Yu Zhou carefully picked three leaves and put them in an unused small box.

Soroya tilted his head and looked at it, curious about the smell of the leaves.
