Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 54 Payday

"Yes, I met it when it was a green caterpillar." Naoki introduced: "Later, it turned into an armored chrysalis, and it has been waiting here for the next evolution."

"Evolution..." Yosuke thought of the relevant information he had seen before, and said, "If I remember correctly, the armored pupa is the fastest evolving Pokémon. When did it evolve from the green caterpillar to the iron armor? What about the chrysalis?"

Naoki thought about it for a while, and said, "About half a month ago."

"Oh." Yosuke said: "That's coming soon, it should not take a few days to evolve into a Butterfly! Well, the Butterfly can spread pollen and collect nectar for food, which will also be of great help to your ranch work Woolen cloth!"

Fast growth, suitable for novices, and easy to train, these are the advantages of insect-type Pokémon.

But correspondingly, they also have some shortcomings.

As the price of fast growth, correspondingly, their lifespan is very short.

Many trainers will regard insect-type Pokémon as the initial Pokémon, and feel sad for a long time after their death.

However, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, whether human or Pokémon, have to go through this process.

Thinking of this, Yosuke clicked his tongue slightly.

Naoki stepped forward to check the condition of the armored pupa, and reached out to touch its hard green carapace.

Compared with half a month ago, the carapace on its body became harder and its color changed from light green to dark green.

All this is a symbol of the impending evolution of the armored pupa.

Buttercup...

Grow up quickly!Naoki thought to himself.

When the armored chrysalis evolves, the ranch will become more lively.

The armored chrysalis is in a critical period of evolution. Its hard carapace makes it unable to move or eat. It relies on the nutrients accumulated in the body of the green caterpillar to renew the cells in the body.

In this process, no one can provide them with external help, and only by breaking out of their shells can they grow into Bada butterflies soaring in the sky.

When the two entered the house, Naoki poured Yosuke a cup of tea and got up to do farm work.

Seeing him start working, Guleton, who was staying not far away, immediately ran over to help, and the motorcycle lizard and Kuailong also joined the team.

At this time, Yosuke also came out, looking at the big land in front of him, he was eager to try: "I'll help too!"

"This job is very hard!" Naoki raised his eyebrows slightly and reminded.

Yosuke has never done farm work. His hometown is located in the northern part of the Galar region, a modern metropolis called Gongmen City.

But that didn't stop him from wanting to experience life on a farm.

Seeing this, Naoki didn't dissuade him.

Yosuke also took out four Poké Balls from his pocket.

With white lights flashing one after another, an Onion Ranger, a Flame Ace, a Steward and a Strong Barrier Bear appeared in the pasture.

"Everyone, let's help Naoki harvest crops together!"

The order was issued, and the four Pokémon also joined the ranks of harvesting.

Soon, turnips, potatoes stained with soil, garlic, white and fat radishes, fresh cucumbers, plump and juicy tomatoes piled up beside the farmland. There are hills.

When all the mature crops were harvested, the bodies of everyone and Pokémon were covered with mud.

With the picking of the last cucumber, Yosuke sat down on the grass: "Huh, the work on the ranch is really hard!"

In contrast, Naoki's stamina is much better, perhaps because of long-term work, he did not fall down immediately.

He thanked Yosuke and his four Pokémon, and said with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work, you guys take a break first, I'll go prepare lunch!"

"Great!"

Yosuke let out a cheer with the Pokémon.

Naoki went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

There are a lot of people today, and everyone has consumed a lot of physical strength and energy, so the lunch dishes are mainly to restore energy and physical strength.

Like tonkatsu, rice.

In addition to some, Naoki also made three new dishes using crops harvested from the field.

One is scrambled cucumbers, the other is scrambled eggs with tomato. In addition to these, Naoki sliced ​​pork tenderloin and added chili, pepper, ginger, green onions and other ingredients to make a spicy and delicious boiled pork slices.

The finished boiled pork slices are tender and fresh, the soup is red and oily, and the spicy taste hits the face. The meat slices covered with red oil look very attractive.

Naoki couldn't help swallowing, and at the same time lowered his head to scan, and the information of these three dishes emerged.

[Shooting Cucumber (D): A simple and easy-to-make basic dish. It is an excellent choice for relieving the summer heat. The cooking effect is heat-resistant lv1. ]
[Tomato scrambled eggs (C): home-cooked dish, sweet and sour, the tenderness of the eggs perfectly blends with the unique taste of the tomato, the cooking effect increases appetite. ]
[Boiled pork slices (B): Delicious boiled pork slices, spicy and delicious, one bite can make people burst into flames, the cooking effect is bursting with fire. ]
Huh?
Naoki's eyes turned to the boiled pork slices.

In the next second, the specific content of the cooking effect emerged.

[Fire Explosion: Limited to fire-attributed Pokémon, within a short period of time, moderately increases the fire-attributed energy in the body, and slightly improves the comprehension of fire-attributed moves. ]
This is……

Naoki was slightly taken aback.

And at this moment, Yosuke, who smelled the fragrance, ran in quickly regardless of his fatigue.

"What does it smell? It smells so good!"

When he saw the sliced ​​boiled meat clearly, a lot of saliva was secreted from his mouth.

"What kind of food is this?"

Naoki: "Uh...it's called boiled pork slices."

"Boiled pork slices?" Yosuke had never heard of or seen this kind of cuisine, so he couldn't help being curious.

Naoki didn't explain too much, because there were too many people to sit in the room, so he simply ordered Gu Leton to move the table outside, and then served the prepared dishes on the table.

All the Pokémon around were immediately attracted by the overbearing fragrance.

Naoki clearly saw that the throat of Yosuke's Flame Ace moved, presumably swallowing saliva frantically.

"I'm gonna start now!"

Yosuke picked up the cutlery and started to eat wildly.

Naoki secretly observed Flame Ace, the only fire-attribute Pokémon present.

It picked up the tableware—it should be taught by Yang Jie, and put a piece of boiled meat wrapped in red oil into its mouth.

After chewing it a little bit, its face instantly turned red.

The fire energy all over his body was constantly rising, Flame Ace opened his eyes wide, his cheeks puffed up, as if he was enduring something.

A few seconds passed, it seemed to endure to the limit, and then raised its head suddenly, the next second, a hot beam of red fire shot out from its mouth towards the sky.

Yosuke: "?!"

A moment later, Flame Ace collapsed and lay down on the grass, panting heavily.

"What's wrong with you? Flame Ace?!" Yosuke asked quickly.

Flame Ace stuck out his tongue and shook his head slightly.

Spicy...too spicy!

Naoki coughed lightly, and said at the right time: "Perhaps the fire-attributed energy in its body was stimulated by the spicy taste, making it burst out uncontrollably."

After a pause, Naoki asked, "Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

Flame Ace gradually calmed down. It shook its head, but it didn't feel uncomfortable. Instead, it felt relaxed and refreshed.

Naoki: "..."

It seems that the Flame Ace was out of luck and didn't understand the new moves.
