You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 115 Why are you evolving so soon?
"Huh? Am I late?"

Not long after, when Pipa arrived late with her newly captured Slicker, she discovered that the battle had already ended.

"You're so slow, Pipa!"

Nemo was getting a little impatient.

If I had known that this hairy cliff crab was so weak and didn't need Pipa as a fighting force at all, I should have had him bring some cooking utensils so we could have a picnic together!

After the battle, not only was Nemo a little hungry, but her ragdoll was too, drooling as it looked at the crab legs scattered on the ground...

"This... it's clearly because you guys are too amazing! This Lord Crab is a Roadhog that even elite trainers can't handle!"

Piper scratched his head.

He originally thought it would be a tough battle, so even though he wasn't good at raising Pokémon, he planned to catch a Pokémon temporarily as an immediate fighting force.

However, it seems I underestimated Qingyu's strength.

Even when commanding an unevolved Riolu, it can still easily defeat a Guardian-level Krabby with overwhelming force...

Although it was a little awkward, and I felt like I was the one who was superfluous, at least the ending was good.

"So, the next step is to go to the hairy crab's cave to find the secret seasoning, right?"

"Alright, alright, let's go!"

Speaking of this, Nemo was no longer sleepy and instantly regained her energetic appearance.

"However, there is now a small problem."

Qingyu rested her chin on her hand, observing her surroundings as she posed a profound question.

"The treasure owner, the hairy cliff crab, has fainted. How are we supposed to find out where its cave is?"

"..."×2
The scene fell silent instantly.

……

After an unknown amount of time, the treasure master, Maoya Crab, finally woke up, feeling as if he had been chatting with his great-grandmother for quite a while in his dream.

My whole body aches as if it's falling apart. What happened?
After a moment of recollection, the hairy crab suddenly remembered what had happened earlier.

That Riolu that has no sense of martial ethics!

And its trainer too, his heart is definitely black if you cut it open!
Its body trembled with fear.

It finally breathed a sigh of relief after carefully observing its surroundings and confirming that they had left.

Thankfully, at least they didn't seem to be after me, and I'm not missing any parts. I should be able to recover after eating some grass and sleeping...

As it staggered and swayed sideways toward its hidden burrow, the hairy crab secretly thought to itself:

Once I've recovered from my injuries, I'll definitely get my revenge on those two despicable guys when I see them again!

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a crab's potential!
The rocky barrier, which acts as a natural barrier, was breached by a single elbow strike, and the fragrant aroma of herbs wafted out from inside the cave.

However, before the hairy crab could even crawl inside, it heard a voice from hell behind it.

"Riolus, Vacuum Wave!"

The crab was struck hard on the back in an instant, and before the weakened crab could react, it lost consciousness again.

"Teacher Qingyu, this trick really works!"

The figures of Qingyu and the other two appeared behind Maoya Crab, and Nemo quickly exclaimed in admiration.

As expected of Teacher Qingyu, her mind is truly sharp!
As for Papa on the other side, he sighed for the unfortunate hairy crab and put his hands together in prayer.

Although there was no other way, I still felt that Qingyu's method was a bit...

dirty?
In a sense, Qingyu is a truly pure trainer.

I hope the crab is alright.

After passing the fallen hairy cliff crab, Qingyu quickly discovered many strange-looking medicinal herbs in the cave.

This must be the legendary secret seasoning that Hai Zhe brought out of the Great Void of District Zero.

I remember that the Rock Wall Treasure Master should correspond to sweet seasoning, right? While Qingyu was thinking, the more professional Papa had already stepped forward and reached out to pick one of them.

After careful observation and repeated comparison with the contents recorded in the book, he finally smiled and turned to look at Qingyu:

"That's right, this is the 'secret recipe: sweetener' recorded in the book!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

Qingyu didn't react much, only smiled faintly, but Nemo seemed unusually excited.

"Now that the battle is over, let's start our picnic!"

……

I have to say, the sandwiches with the added ingredients were really delicious.

After Qingyu took a bite of the sandwich made by Pipa, the rich and complex textures in her mouth exploded instantly, bringing a special taste experience.

Although seasonings are only a small part of a dish, they play a crucial role in its flavor.

Maybe I should take some seeds back with me and start a farm at the Sunshine Dojo to grow them myself?

The idea only flashed through her mind for a moment before Qingyu immediately rejected it.

the reason is simple--

He doesn't know how to farm.

However, it is indeed worthwhile to collect some seeds first, and who knows, you might catch other Pokémon that can farm in the future?

If you want to make Sunny Gym bigger and stronger, in addition to having Pokémon as your battle partners, Life-type Pokémon are also a pretty good choice.

If all else fails, just pack up that hairy cliff crab and take it home; it looks like a professional...

Qingyu thought to herself, "What do you mean?"

"I want more!"

Nemo wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth, raised her right hand again, and looked at Pipa with longing eyes.

"Of course, but you'll have to wait a little while."

Pipa smiled gently, broke off a small piece of the sandwich, and fed it to the mouth of the mastiff godfather lying beside him.

"Eat some; it might help with your injuries."

"Ouch..."

The Mastiff Godfather responded weakly, licking Pipa's face with his tongue as he ate his sandwich.

"The Godfather of the Mastiffs does seem to be feeling better!"

Noticing that it had regained some energy, Pipa was so excited that she almost cried.

"road?"

After receiving half of the sandwich with added toppings from Qingyu, Riolu took a small bite and instantly felt as if his body was filled with energy.

At the same time, a white light appeared unexpectedly, and the overflowing energy was quickly absorbed back by Riolu.

No, now is not the time to evolve.

Master Xiong once said that it's best not to evolve before completing all the trials at the Isle of Armor Dojo...

Therefore, we need to be patient for a while longer.

Master Ma has already completed more than half of the three trials through his sweat and hard work.

It shouldn't be too long before I fully master the "Invisible Fist" technique, a secret passed down at the Isle of Armor.

"???"

Qingyu was dumbfounded. How could Riolu evolve after eating just one bite of a sandwich?
And it turns out that Pokémon's evolution mechanism is really the same as in the games; you can actually revert back to the original state!

He subconsciously glanced at Ibrahimovic and Milton beside him, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were alright.

Milton is alright, but if Eevee evolves now, my newly acquired Eevee Z will become a disposable item!
