Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 242 Waiting for the direct meeting, I'll take a nap after finishing the code in advance. I want to play ZA
When Link woke up in the evening, he learned from the elves that the tea was basically harmless and suggested that he just leave it on the farm.

This proposal was initiated by Windy Dog, with strong support from Firefox and strong opposition from Scabbard.

"Is it my illusion? Is the body of the Si Mocha a little smaller than at the beginning?"

Link was lost in thought, the broken clues forming an equation leading to the truth in his mind.

"Tea desu!"

It seems he was right.

"I'm afraid there's no matcha powder for sale in Kitakami Township. Let's go to the Veiled Department Store and buy some after the demon festival is over."

It’s not for the tasting...it’s mainly because the moves used by Smocha seem to require matcha powder as a medium.

The capacity of a tea can is limited, so it is best to buy some matcha powder as a backup, just in case even if you don't use it to fight.

Speaking of which, he suddenly discovered that there were actually quite a lot of ghost-attribute elves around him, and he unknowingly brought along the Candlelight Spirit, the Single Sword Sheath, and the Demon Tea.

If we include the Ghost Tail Black Fish, we can almost form a ghost team.

4 times in more than three months, isn’t the frequency of hauntings in this world a bit high?
In any case, to celebrate the joining of Smooth Tea to the Sprout Ranch, Link prepared powdered seeds of life and mastery for it, and then began to prepare dinner.

The confluence beach is more beautiful at night than during the day.

The bright moonlight shines on the crystal clear river, and the crystal components in the crystal pool reflect a light brighter than the stars.

People and elves look at the shining river, expecting the visit of the "ghost"...

……

The next morning, Link returned to Verdant Town on Arcanine.

"As expected, Taoze Store doesn't sell matcha."

"Wow~"

Perhaps the craftsman who made the tea can was a native of Kitakami.

In addition, Link was also very curious about the evolution process of Pokémon like Smocha.

The evolved form of Matcha tea is Laibeicha. The difference between the two is that the container in which the Matcha spirit lives has changed from a teapot to a tea bowl.

Link admits that elves are incredible creatures, but isn't it too outrageous that their own evolution can turn a teapot into a tea bowl?
Simo Tea → Laibei Coarse Tea
Laibei Tea → Busihu
Slowpokemon → Slowpokemon/Slowpoke

Fruit worms → Apple dragon/Fengmi dragon/Honey snake
The evolutions of these Pokémon are all a bit subtle... Oh, and how can we forget the Spherical Flying Fish that can evolve into a Giant Winged Flying Fish by catching a Cannonfish?
It would be even stranger if the iron cannon fish evolved into an octopus barrel!
"I remember that there is a legend that fishermen in Johto put a scorpionfish in a bucket and left it in the sea for a day. The next day, they found an octopus bucket inside. So, did the scorpionfish evolve into an octopus bucket, or did the scorpionfish use the bait to catch the octopus bucket?"

Link suddenly realized that as a time traveler, he seemed to have too many blind spots in common sense.

"Tea?"

Anyway, Si Mo Cha doesn’t understand, it has never seen other Si Mo Cha, and it doesn’t know how to evolve.

But if we really follow what humans say, it is more like it moved into a new home rather than "evolved".

So besides tea bowls, are there any other options, such as teacups?

If Mocha were allowed to choose for himself... he would probably choose a teapot, preferably one made of purple clay. He would never accept borax or glass.

"I think it would be better to look for other trainers' training records after you go back. What if you really can evolve the teapot into a teacup if you try hard?"

The Buse Pot requires a broken/defective teapot to evolve into the Buse Pot. According to the illustrated guide, Laibei Tea and Laibei Coarse Tea are not different regional forms, so the specific situation cannot be determined.

Perhaps Zhulan would know this tricky antique knowledge. But before Link could go find her, he heard a familiar voice not far away.

"Xiao Lin!"

Xiaoxia, who had already found a place to live, was about to go to the village office when she happened to run into him coming back.

"I was planning to go to the Crystal Pool on Ghost Mountain to welcome the ghosts, but I saw a sign on the road saying that you must get permission from the mayor to enter the mountain. Do you want to go with me?"

Hearing this, Link asked in confusion, "Are you really going to the Crystal Light Pool to welcome the ghost?"

"By the way, let's go see the legendary Mienshao, how about going?"

As he had been planning to go up the mountain anyway, he readily accepted the offer.

Not long after, the two arrived at the village office and happened to meet Du Juan who was negotiating with the mayor.

She came from afar with the same purpose of visiting the Crystal Pool, but the elf she had in mind was not Milotic but the Crystal Flower.

"So I won't agree to let outsiders enter Ghost Mountain!"

However, Du Juan's negotiations seemed to be unsuccessful.

The mayor refused firmly, "During the Ghost Festival, there will be evil spirits haunting the place. I don't care what kind of gym owner you are. To put it bluntly, you are just a little girl. If something unexpected happens, there is not even a Pokémon Center in the town. Where can you go to treat the Pokémon?"

Although the townspeople of Beishang Township are somewhat xenophobic, they are still very serious about matters concerning human lives.

"What if you add me?"

Hearing this, Xiaoxia interrupted and confidently introduced herself, "I am the leader of the Cerulean Gym, a genius water trainer and the most beautiful girl in the world, Xiaoxia! If the two of us, plus the equally powerful Xiaolin, go up the mountain together, we can definitely handle it even if we encounter powerful wild Pokémon."

The mayor looked Xiaoxia up and down for a moment and felt that she looked less reliable than the gentle and refined Du Juan.

"Even if there are three of us, it won't work..."

Although Link looked older, the mayor was unwilling to take any risk in ruining the festive atmosphere during the festival.

"Then let's solve the problem with a battle!" Xiaoxia insisted on her obsession with Milotic, "If you lose, Mayor, you must let us enter Ghost Mountain!"

Link: “?”

Not to mention that we can ignore the sign and sneak into the mountain, it's useless to fight the mayor elf, the mayor is not training...

"No problem! Then let you two little girls see how powerful I, the Kitakami Ghost Mask Group 'An Gang', am!"

The village chief agreed to Xiaoxia's proposal without hesitation!
"???"

Link couldn't understand it even more.

By the way, he remembered that the Kitakami Onimang Group seemed to consist of only Masamune (demon), Hasebe (water), Raikiri (electricity), Kunitsuna (ice and rock), Kanemitsu (grass fire), Munechika (general), Kotetsu (fighting) and Muramasa (demon). Where did your Yasutsuga come from?
So, Xiaoxia and Du Juan teamed up and started a doubles match with the mayor, with the permission to enter the mountain as the stakes.

"It seems we came at the wrong time, but the mayor has trained steel-type Pokémon well, so this should be a tough battle."

During the battle, Zhulan and Cattleya appeared leisurely. They also came to inform the village chief after seeing the notice, but accidentally saw the battle.

"No, you came just in time."

Link shrugged. Regardless of winning or not, with a champion leading the team, they would not be refused entry into the mountains by the mayor.
