Pinnacle of the Stars

Chapter 35 35. Pokémon Researcher
On the outskirts of Luoye Town.

Lu Qiu didn't back down, and stared stubbornly at the carp king who was lying on the ground.

"."

After a long time.

Looking at the peaceful salted fish-like expression, under the competition of eyesight, he finally sighed resignedly:
"This is the third time you've been dehydrated, please don't pop out of the poke ball when I'm not paying attention."

With that said, Lu Qiu took out the water bottle from his backpack, poured it from head to toe, and poured half of the water on the other person.

"Crack——"

The carp king, who was pretending to be dead, jumped alive and kicked in an instant.

The carp king used the water splash jump, shaking Lu Qiu all over with the water just poured, and the effect was outstanding. '

'King Carp's intimacy has increased. '

He slapped his forehead so violently that he slapped away the echoing voice in his head.

Lu Qiu raised his sleeves and wiped his face, then waved his hand to hit the carp king's cold body bouncing like a ghost, and comforted him seriously:

"It's different from Xiangwei, you have to stay in the water, be obedient, otherwise I'm really afraid that one day I'll wake up and see a dried fish lying next to me."

Looking up at the sky, King Carp fell into thought:
'He's right, but who am I and where am I? '

Seeing the carp king's appearance of listening and not listening, Lu Qiu felt mixed feelings.

As a Pokémon who jumped out of the water basin and secretly followed him on the road, I have to say that this guy in front of me really has a personality.

One thing has to be said five or six times before it can be listened to.

After listening to it, I will always follow my mood to do it.

For example, he never eats what is in his own bowl, and insists on grabbing food from Xiangwei Meow’s mouth. The tooth marks never faded away.

Unwilling to admit defeat, after a few times of rising up, on this road, you can often see the scene of Xiangwei meow hanging on its head and not letting go.

In the dazed eyes, the ghost knows what it is insisting on in its mind.

"Lu Qiu, look what I brought back for you!"

Putting the carp king back into the poke ball, Lu Qiu turned his head to look at the sound.

My heart trembled at that time.

Although I have caught Pokémon, although I have brought back poisonous mushrooms, but...
"Ah Yu, put him down quickly!"

Seeing the figure bound by the flying stone locks on his shoulders, Lu Qiu couldn't help but look down at Xiang Weimao who was walking with him.

'What are you looking at me for? '

'I didn't catch the person. '

Throwing the man on the ground, Ah Yu twisted his wrist with a solemn expression, "Lu Qiu, this guy is a poacher, let's send him to the police station."

"I told you I'm not!" He fell to the ground, and the man struggled to get up, "Listen to my explanation first, listen to my explanation!"

"Shut up." He leaned down and poked the man's left cheek with his finger, "I've seen a lot of guys like you."

Lu Qiu looked at the man sweating profusely, hesitating in his heart.

It's not that I don't want to believe it.

However, apart from the carp king, the most unreliable person in this team is the guy who was misled by Mr. Hagu.

"So, what the hell is going on here?"

If poaching is really involved, then Lu Qiu must carefully consider Ah Yu's judgment.

"I saw just now that this man is going to attack the eggs of Pokémon." Before the man was about to speak, Ayu pointed in one direction and said: "Over there, he coaxed open adult Pokémon, Sneaky, like I've seen before."

Hearing this, Lu Qiu couldn't help frowning.

Eggs are different from Pokémon. Although it is easier for newborn Pokémon to trust humans, but similarly, if there is no extremely rich cultivation experience in corresponding aspects, then growing up under the hands of humans out of the group is likely to give Pokémon Growth brings fatal disaster.

Different from the performance in the game.

Newborn Pokémon cannot immediately possess combat ability, nor can they start supercharge training directly, so they need to follow the group to slowly adapt and understand their own abilities.

This so-called newborn period, depending on the Pokémon, the length of time will also vary. For example, the small fist stone may be a few days, the round land shark may be several months, and the phantom beast may be several years.

Generally speaking, the stronger the natural ability of the Pokémon race, the longer the newborn period will be. Of course, this is not absolute. After all, some external factors such as trainers must be included occasionally.

And because this aspect belongs to the high-level knowledge of cultivators, under the circumstances that ordinary people cannot touch, things like 'eggs' almost form a monopoly posture in this world.

The most striking example is the Yusanjia that the alliance distributes to newcomer trainers.

Those Pokémon are carefully cultivated by human hands from the egg stage.

To put it simply, if you want to start from scratch, you must find a breeder who understands this knowledge, and if you seek help from a breeder, you will never be able to avoid the problem of money.

For the sake of profit or something else, in short, the alliance has set the rules:

Although it is not illegal to breed Pokémon from eggs, if it involves the behavior described by Ah Yu, it is strictly prohibited.

Trainers can accept wild Pokémon entrusted, and can go to the regular market to buy, but it is absolutely not allowed to obtain Pokémon eggs by snatching, stealing, etc.

Since there are many loopholes in the relevant regulations, and the alliance often plays the banner that they would rather kill the wrong than let them go, so if they want to exchange money for Pokémon eggs whose origin cannot be explained, they can only sell them on the 'black market'.

If what Ah Yu said is true, then the man is not a simple poacher.

It's a 'black market hunter' whose behavior is even more heinous.

Thinking about this, Lu Qiu clenched his hands, waiting for the other party to give his explanation.

"It's not the case!"

The man retorted, and at the same time turned around and broke the rope twice.

Good quality, didn't break open.

"I came out in a hurry today, and I didn't bring the supporting documents with me."

"Otherwise you untie me first, this thing hurts a bit."

Seeing that the two were indifferent, the man had no choice but to say with a bitter face: "My name is Kongmu, and I am a Pokémon researcher. I live in the nearby Ruoye Town. There is really no malice in sending those Pokémon away. If you don't believe me , you can go back with me and have a look."

While the man was explaining, Lu Qiu remembered his appearance in his heart.

She has short hair, with a bunch of uncomfortably curled hair in the middle. She wears a plaid shirt and wears a pair of thick-rimmed glasses with high prescription on her face. Overall, she is relatively thin.

Although one shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

But this man may be telling the truth.

While the name 'Kongmu' was somewhat familiar, Lu Qiu also had some doubts whether this person could run as fast as himself.

"Ah Yu, let him go first."

Turning her head to look at Lu Qiu, Ah Yu grabbed hold of the middle of the rope and pulled it down with a strong tug.

"Thank you."

After being untied, the man named Kongmu loosened his body, hesitated a few times, scratched his head and said with a smile: "Well, I still have some important things to do. Before I go back, can you accompany me for a while?"
