Pinnacle of the Stars

Chapter 55 55. Willful and Extremely Rich

"King Carp is a fish Pokémon. It can live in no matter how dirty the water is. It is a very strong Pokémon."

Listening to the information read from the illustration book in his hand, Lu Qiu squatted by the pool, and tapped his finger on the forehead of his carp king.

After a few times, the latter sank his head shyly and spit out bubbles.

"By the way, why isn't the tooth mark on your head healed yet?"

Looking at the dorsal fin that was bitten by Xiangwei Meow, Lu Qiu was a little puzzled and said:

"Did it fight with you again in the past two days?"

"."

The carp king swam around in the water, looked at his trainer and didn't speak.

It looks dull.

"Lu Qiu, what are you doing?"

The girl's voice sounded from behind, brisk, a little gentle, and a little playful with an acquaintance.

Sirona was wearing a close-fitting short jacket and an orange work apron, her hair tied up looked a little refreshing.

At the request of Dr. Oki, she has just fed a group of Bibi birds.

"I'm considering whether to help it evolve." Lu Qiu pointed at the Carp King, hesitantly said: "Basically, the carp king is very adaptable, but compared with other Pokémon, it wants to evolve. There are too many things needed, and I am a little worried that there will be problems in the process.”

For example, it is not uncommon for Pokémon to become cowering due to evolution failure.

The evolution probability of the wild carp king is [-] in [-], and there may be fluctuations, but generally speaking, this number remains unchanged all year round. There is a Pokémon observer who specializes in researching the carp king. The data he gives every year It will be published in academic journals, which is of great reference to both researchers and breeders.

Naturally, Lu Qiu also referred to that data, so he understood that under this probability, even if he was subdued by the trainer and had additional resources to support, it would be extremely difficult for the carp king to evolve into a tyrannosaurus.

The main reason is that Pokémon like Carp King are not very self-motivated. They belong to the kind of heartless players who would consider what to eat tonight in the face of death. Mentally, they will actively seek to become stronger. After all, this group is in the minority.

"Is that so, Lu Qiu, do you need a water stone?" While Lu Qiu was frowning and thinking, Sirona walked up to his side, knelt down and looked at the Carp King together, and said, "I happen to have one here."

The water stone is an item that helps a limited number of water-type Pokémon evolve. The average price on the market is about [-] alliance coins. If you have money, you can buy it. It is an item that ordinary people would not even consider.

Looking at Sirona who had a calm expression on her face when she said this, Lu Qiu suspected that the other party was deliberately showing off.

"Don't worry, it's a loan to you." Seeing that Lu Qiu didn't respond, Sirona thought about it, stretched out two fingers and said, "I'll return it to you after you become Dr. Pokémon, two dollars back." .”

"Stop teasing me."

Lu Qiu rubbed his forehead and sighed. At the same time, he was more impressed with his own poverty. "The carp king can't help evolution with water stones."

Sirona blinked: "Can't you?"

"Of course not." After saying that, Lu Qiu paused and frowned, "You don't know?"

Shaking his head, "I only know that except for Eevee, most Pokémon will not evolve after absorbing the power of the evolution stone, but it seems that no one has tried to use it on the carp king at the cost of becoming an empty crystal. Take a gamble."

With that said, Sirona took out a clear blue gemstone from nowhere, waved her hand and said, "Do you want to use it?"

In this world, if the evolution fails, the power in the stone will disappear and become a mineral similar to crystal instead of being unresponsive.

Moreover, as long as the attributes correspond, all Pokémon can try to absorb the power in the evolution stone after direct contact. Therefore, such valuable items are usually stored in boxes by people.

"You still carry this kind of thing with you?" Seeing the nonchalant expression on Sirona's face, the corner of Lu Qiu's mouth twitched instinctively.

You must know that even during the period of good business, such a small piece of "broken rock" is worth the net income of my breeding house for nearly a year.

"I picked it up on the road when I came to Kanto. Since I was a child, I often picked up some strange things." After throwing it twice, Sirona threw the water stone into the water, "I'm used to it."

"wait.?!"

Lu Qiu quickly reached out to stop him.

"Pfft."

The pleasant sound of entering the water.

Following the dazzling white light, the carp king grabbed the water stone and jumped up, frozen in mid-air and stretched his body.

Its body was stuck on a boundary, and together with the white light that shrouded it, it continued to expand and contract, become larger and smaller, and in the end, nothing happened.

Looking at the carp king who fell into the pool again, Sirona put her hands on her cheeks and said softly, "It failed."

"Of course it will fail, are you so rich?!" Lu Qiu recovered from the shock, and pointed at Sirona with trembling fingers.

[-] alliance coins, really a waste of time, and only brought a flower.

"You have to pay me back." Under Lu Qiu's excitement, Sirona and Carp King looked at each other in a daze, and calmly said: "As a trainer, you have to be responsible for your Pokémon."

"I"

Seeing Lu Qiu's speechless appearance for a while, Sirona let go of her stubborn expression and couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm kidding you, I'll make a report after I get back, proving that the water stone is useless to the carp king, we know this It’s not a loss.”

There was a smile on the girl's face, which did not seem to be fake.

Taking a deep breath, while Sirona hummed a little song, Lu Qiu told himself not to be as knowledgeable as the rich.

Yes, but not necessary.

The afternoon sun is just right, a little lazy, and occasionally a few clouds hang up, blocking all the eyes looking at me under the wilderness.

When Lu Qiu met and returned to the research institute, when they were about to open the door and go in, they bumped into Dr. Oki who came out of it.

Beside the latter, there is also a researcher who is also wearing a white coat. Judging from his face, this person should be about the same age as Dr. Oki.

"Lu Qiu, Sirona, it's just in time for you to come back." After responding to the greetings from the two, Dr. Oki nodded and introduced them: "This is Xia Bo from Honglian Island. I mentioned it to you before. My friend, like me, he is also a Pokémon researcher."

Hearing this, Lu Qiu looked at Uncle Xia, imitating what Dr. Damu did before, putting his hand on his chest and bowing slightly: "Hi, Dr. Xia Bo."

Later, I learned from Sirona that this posture was originally a ritual action among Pokémon researchers, and it can express many meanings, such as praise, approval, respect, and so on.

In informal situations, it is generally equivalent to a normal handshake. If the other party is willing to respond, it means that he agrees with your identity.

"I'm not a doctor, but an ordinary researcher. Damu always likes to argue with young people about these things."

While Dr. Oki coughed to hide his embarrassment, the old man named Xia Bo suddenly pushed the sunglasses on his face, bent over and said to the two:

"Then please listen to the question—"

"Will the fire on the fire-breathing dragon's tail be extinguished by the rain?"
