MTL - Not a Trainer This Time-Chapter 347 Banquet, big guys gathered
Chapter 347: Banquet, big guys gathered
Huh? Poison babe?
Isn’t that the ultimate beast in the Alola region?
How come there are energy cubes with this kind of effect?
Looking at the strangely colored energy cube in front of him, Naoki was a little surprised.
If placed in the wild, there is a certain chance of attracting Pokémon like Poison...
This effect reminded Naoki of the setting in the game where players capture Pokémon in the hunting zone.
Pokémon battles are not allowed in hunting zones, so conventional capturing methods simply won’t work there.
Trainers who want to capture Pokémon can only use energy cubes purchased from the entrance to lure wild Pokémon and then capture them.
However, energy cubes for this specific Pokémon are still very rare.
Zhishu squeezed the energy cube in his hand and looked at the food taster Gu Ledun, and asked habitually: "Want to try it?"
Hulton shook his head crazily: "Ah gah!"
“Compared to the former, the latter is more difficult, but correspondingly, the quality of the energy cubes carefully polished by cultivators will be better. This is the production process that I wrote down. You can take a look.”
Yu Hui handed over a piece of paper with writing on it.
Zhi Shu looked at the pot carefully and attentively. When he saw that it was almost done, he turned off the heat, then took out the jam, sieved out the residue, and then poured it into a professional machine for compression.
Naoki nodded thoughtfully.
Baking, melting, boiling, mixing, compressing, solidifying…
Zhishu thanked him, then found the corresponding fruits recorded in the formula, peeled, cored and cleaned them.
Then put these tree fruits in a pot in order and boil and melt until they turn into crystal clear jam.
After thinking for a moment, he pinched his nose and ate an energy cube like he was trying durian for the first time.
Naoki looked up with a pale face: "Miss Ikuke..."
“Then I’ll trouble you, Miss Ikuke.”
Bitter, sour, and astringent, an indescribable taste reaches the sky.
Each item is very complex and takes several times the time of a machine.
Soon, all the preparations were completed, and five steaming small energy cubes made from seven tree fruits were freshly baked.
After the compression is completed, it comes to the final step, which is to put it into the mold to solidify.
Zhi Shu couldn't help but fell into deep thought. These energy cubes were all made from tree fruits. Logically speaking, they couldn't be so unpalatable, right?
Naoki drank a bottle of sugar water to relieve the uncomfortable feeling in his stomach.
As soon as she saw this scene, she immediately knew what was going on.
“So, some specific energy cubes can only be crafted by hand?” he asked.
She stepped forward to check out Naoki's energy cube production site, and then said: "It seems that you have initially mastered the method of making energy cubes, so next, it's time for me to teach you more in-depth content."
“Don’t worry, this kind of thing is the only way for every Pokémon breeder to go through.” Ik Hui said with a smile.
But looking at it now, this alone is not enough.
Yuhui nodded: "Only novice breeders use machines to make energy cubes, while some top breeders often slowly polish the energy cubes by hand."
Ik Hui: “The types of energy cubes that the machine can make are limited because their capacity is fixed, and a maximum of five tree fruits can be put in for mixing.”
Naoki: “…” Let’s forget it.
He previously thought that if the process of making energy cubes was that simple, he would just buy a machine and go home.
He turned around and buried his face in the trash can - "Ouch!"
It poked the Poke Ball hanging around Naoki's waist, with a embarrassed look on its face, indicating that it really couldn't eat it, and indicated that Naoki could let other Pokémon come over to try it.
As soon as Ik Hui came in after finishing her work, she saw Naoki holding a trash can and vomiting there.
“But if it is made by hand, it is not necessarily the case. For example, the famous Big Eater Energy Cube, that kind of special energy cube is made by hand.”
Yu Hui observed from the side: "There are very few impurities in it, which meets the qualified requirements. It seems that you have done a good job in cleaning. Okay, let's put in the seasoned banana fruit."
Hearing this, Zhi Shu understood instantly.
[Basic Big Eater Energy Cube Recipe: Peach Fruit x2, Orange Fruit x1, Blackberry Fruit x1, Solanum Fruit x2, 1/3 Banana Fruit. Effect: Provides basic nutrition for Pokémon and can fill them up. Pokémon's belly. ]
Yu Hui: "There is a pot over there. You try it first, and I will guide you next to it."
"Here!" Yuhui handed over another recipe: "This is the basic Big Stomach Energy Cube recipe. Only one energy cube produced from it can make Pokémon like Kirby Dreams fill your stomach, would you like to try making it?"
“The essence of dozens of tree fruits is fused and compressed, and finally made into a small energy cube. Only one energy cube can satisfy a big-eating Pokémon like Kirby.”
Zhi Shu reached out and took it.
Zhi Shu reached out and took it, and saw the process of hand-making energy cubes on it.
"That's right." Yuhui nodded: "After all, a machine is just a machine. Even a large fruit processing machine cannot be compared with a human machine, because a cold machine cannot produce energy cubes with temperature and emotion."
Hearing this, he was a little surprised: "More in-depth content?"
“This tree fruit has a soft texture and melts easily, so it should be added last. Its function is to add sweetness to the energy cubes and make the taste better.”
Ik Hui couldn't help but laugh and said: "It seems that you have made an unpalatable energy cube!"
The next second, Naoki felt his head begin to smoke and his stomach began to churn crazily.
Zhi Shu looked down, and the information about these energy cubes emerged from his mind.
[Elementary Big Eater Energy Cube (C+): Cooking effect, Big Eater, is an energy cube that can bring satiety to Pokémon. Only one is needed to make the little Kirby and the Big Eater among it. The Pokémon you eat will fill your stomach. ]
"Not bad!" Yu Hui cast an appreciative look: "The same goes for hand-made energy cubes. Breeders need to explore different formulas themselves. In addition to this method, you can also buy from other breeders the ones they develop. formula."
“This is also a way for breeders to make money. If one day you discover a rare energy cube formula, you can also sell it to the **** Association and other breeders.”
Hearing this, Naoki immediately thought of the [Poison Babe Food] he had just researched. That kind of energy cube can be used to attract Pokémon like Poison Baby.
It’s just that Poison Babe is not in the Unova area. Although the Ultimate Cave will appear randomly around the world, the probability of encountering it here is still too low.
"By the way, Ms. Ikue, do you have a pen here? I want to record the energy cube formula I just made." Naoki said, mainly because he was afraid that he would forget it when he turned around.
“Of course.” Yu Hui took out a pen from his pocket.
Zhi Shu wrote down the recipe for Poison Babi’s delicacies.
In order to consolidate the method of making energy cubes, Naoki stayed at the Breeders Association for the next few days to practice.
During this period, Adek only came once or twice. After learning that Naoki was practicing, he did not come forward to disturb him and turned around to continue doing his own business.
Flame Moth's body has recovered, and the current champion position of the United League is still vacant. Before a new champion emerges, Adek feels that he must take on the responsibility of the champion and guide more trainers to meet Pokémon.
The other four kings of the United Alliance were all shocked by Adek's sudden return and change.
Especially after learning that the nearly dead Vulcan Moth had returned to its peak, I was even more shocked. While Naoki was busy practicing making energy cubes, the situation in the outside world was also undergoing huge changes at the same time.
Sail City is extremely lively these days.
Luxury cruise ships, private planes, and special flights arrived in Fanba City one after another.
Sakaki, a famous entrepreneur in the Kanto area, Yuryuto, the heir to the Yuryu family and the Dragon King and Champion of the Kanto area, and Dr. Ohgi, a top figure in the Pokémon research community.
President Zifuqi of Dewen Company in Fengyuan Region.
The strongest champion in the Sinnoh region, Sirona, the super king Cattleya and the ghost king Wanlong in the Unova region.
Caroluni, the champion and big star of the Kalos region.
As well as many wealthy families in the Padia region, the boss of Rotom Technology Company and his daughter Nemo.
*
Four days later, Naoki finally mastered the technique of making energy cubes.
This afternoon, Adek came to the Breeders Association to find Zhishu, who was obsessed with combining tree fruits to make energy cubes.
“How’s it going?” Adek asked.
“It’s almost done!” Naoki breathed a sigh of relief: “Thanks to Miss Ikue, now I can also make special energy cubes.”
“In that case, let’s go!” Adek laughed.
Naoki was slightly startled: "What?"
Adek: "The time has come, the dinner party will start soon!"
Naoki finally reacted and realized what Adek said. He was very surprised: "So fast?!"
Adek twitched his lips: "Four days have passed since you arrived in the Hezhong area. I just received the news that all the guests who came to attend the banquet have arrived, and we are the only ones left."
Hearing this, Naoki immediately put down what he was doing. He had not forgotten the main purpose of his visit to the Hezhong area - to hand over the Rotom smartphone plan to the boss of Rotom Technology Company.
The time has now reached four o'clock in the afternoon, and the dinner party will officially start soon.
Before setting off, Naoki wanted to find Ikue, express his gratitude to her, and say goodbye to her. However, he learned from others that Ikue had left the Pokémon Association and traveled to other cities.
Zhi Shu didn’t know what to say for a while.
On the other hand, Adek on the side comforted him: "Don't worry! She must know your thoughts. I will help you thank her later!"
Naoki: “Then please.” For now, that’s all we can do.
So, Naoki stepped out of the gate of the Breeders Association, and under the leadership of Adek, set off for the venue of the dinner.
Adek drove a car through the streets of Sailba City. After passing through several streets, the car stopped in front of a mansion located on the edge of the city.
It was evening, many people had gathered in this place, and the manor was brightly lit.
Gentlemen in suits, wealthy ladies with elegant manners and dresses, boys and girls in suits and evening dresses, and some young people dressed as trainers entered the manor one after another.
It just looks very high-end, and it looks like a gathering place for the upper class.
Zhi Shu, who had only seen this scene in TV dramas, felt like a country bumpkin entering the city for the first time, and he was inevitably a little nervous.
Everyone present is a wealthy and noble woman, but he is the only one who is a farmer farming in the countryside. It feels strange...
Adek turned off the car: "Here we are, isn't this place big? It's all Boss Ju's property!"
Naoki: “Oh!”
Adek turned his head and saw Naoki looking a little nervous.
He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Are you nervous?"
Zhi Shu is not afraid of Adek’s jokes: “I’m just a farmer and I’ve never been to a place like this.”
His identity is really out of place here.
"Don't be afraid!" Adek comforted him: "Even if you are a farmer, you are the most powerful farmer! If you go back and fight with them, trainers who can't even beat farmers will be the ones who should be nervous!"
Naoki: “…”
Adek got out of the car, and without paying attention to Zhi Shu, he started to greet Gu Ledun behind him: "Gulden, get out of the car quickly, I will take you to eat something good!"
"Ah, geez!" Gu Ledun, who had only been eating energy cubes these days, heard that he could eat other things. His eyes immediately glowed green, and he jumped out of the car, followed Adek, and looked back. Tree.
Zhi Shu followed with helplessness.
After Adike's comfort, he felt less stage frightened.
After all, what Adek said is right. If you calm down and are neither humble nor arrogant, there will be no problem.
Thinking of this, Naoki suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Although Adek looks rough on the outside, he is a very caring person.
He deliberately avoided other people he knew and walked around the garden with Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun, and soon came to an area where a variety of food and wine were displayed.
At this moment, many guests and Pokémon dressed as trainers have gathered here, and they are enjoying the food here with the Pokémon.
Adek also released his own Vulcan Moth, letting it eat the same kind of large chicken drumsticks as Luffy's with Gulton.
He himself took two glasses of red wine from the passing waiter and handed one of them to Naoki: "Let's have a drink first! There is still some time before the banquet starts."
Zhi Shu reached out to take it and took a sip with Adek. He was about to say something when he suddenly heard a voice from behind.
“Huh? Mr. Adek?”
Hearing the voice, Adek turned around and was not surprised at all when he saw the visitor. Instead, he laughed loudly: "It's Wanlong and Cattleya? It's been a long time since we last seen each other. How are you doing?"
The blond girl named Cattleya showed a speechless expression on her face: "You still look like this!"
While the three of them were talking, Naoki turned his attention to the silent blond lady accompanying Wanlong and Cattleya.
Their eyes met in mid-air. Sirona nodded politely, then looked at Adek: "Long time no see, Adek."
“You came to this banquet too, Miss Zhulan? I thought I wouldn’t see you this year!” Adek laughed.
Hirona’s eyes were smiling.
Wanlong and Cattleya on the side quietly turned their eyes to the young man standing next to Adek.
Adek: "Oh, I almost forgot. I haven't introduced you yet. This is my friend, Naoki, the champion trainer from the Padia region."
“Naoki, these two are Wanlong, the ghost king of the Hezhu region, and Cattleya, the super king. The one here has a great background. She is Sirona, the champion of the Sinnoh region.”
