Trainer? I'm just an ordinary hot spring owner.

As the old saying goes, life will always find a way.

Jiang Cheng was quite interested in this creature, of course he was mainly interested in the bone sticks in their hands. After all, who could refuse a long, straight, perfectly shaped bone with two sections emitting blue flames?

If I had this kind of magic weapon, I would pull out all the green plants in the community!

But with the example of Dolmesia before him, Jiang Cheng didn't dare to get close to these ghost-type Pokémon at all, and arranged for Gastly to receive them.

Gastly floated in front of Galagara with an excited look on his face, and seeing Gastly suddenly appear, Galagara immediately took an attacking stance.

"Gah Jiang!!"

Looking at the defensive Gara Gara, Gastly followed the hospitality procedures that Jiang Cheng had taught him before. After bowing, he turned around and floated towards the healing room first, waiting for Gara Gara's arrival at the door.

Gara Gara, who had been prepared for the battle, found that the expected attack did not come. The strange Gastly just made a strange movement and then came to the distance. The door not far away was open, and an atmosphere that made him feel very comfortable came from inside, as if inviting him to come in.

Garagara hasn't completely let down its guard yet. The harsh environment of Alola makes it wary of the unfamiliar environment. It confronts Gastly for a while, and is still constantly observing the surrounding situation with the corner of its eyes.

Finally, it seemed that Gastly's non-hostile behavior, or perhaps because it was not a grass-type Pokémon, made Gallant let down his guard and slowly approach the healing room.

As he stepped into the healing room, the strong ghostly aura completely enveloped him, and Gastly pushed the door shut with his own aura, while pulling open the water inlet switch of the healing pool.

The warm hot spring water slowly flowed in, startling Garagara. The entire Pokémon leaned against the wall on one side, clenching the bones in his hands with both hands, his whole body tense.

After doing all this, Gastly walked out of the healing room. He wanted to take a nap. He had done so much work today and it was really hard for him. He must eat more tomorrow to compensate himself.

The warm hot spring water was still flowing, and soon filled the pool. The hot steam slowly filled the room, and along with the comfortable ghostly atmosphere, lingered around Galagala.

Is there really no danger?

Galagala frowned and slowly approached the healing pool.

Chapter 17: Fishing

Warm hot springs is a relatively unfamiliar term to Galagala, because these places are often guarded by relatively powerful Pokémon tribes. Pokémon tribes like Galagala, which have already exhausted all their strength just to survive, have no chance to experience it at all.

But even if I haven't eaten pork, I have seen pigs run. I haven't soaked in a hot spring, but I have seen other Pokémon soaking in hot springs. When I was still a Caracalla, I was also very ambitious. I can replace them, but the reality is always cruel. The life of hiding from place to place is more painful than the wicker weaving of a grass-type Pokémon.

What was in front of him was a hot spring, which Galagala knew very well. This was the hot spring he had always longed for but had never been able to soak in since he was born.

It gently touched the spring water with its hand, then immediately retracted it, then tentatively stretched out its hand, allowing the warm hot spring water to slowly submerge its front paws.

"Ga Jiang" stood up and looked around the healing room. After confirming that the surroundings were safe, he crawled to the edge of the pool, stretched out one of his little feet, and slowly immersed it in the hot spring healing pool.

The pool water gently embraced it, just like its mother's arms when it was young.

Galagala closed his eyes and lay in the pool. Faintly, he seemed to see his mother smiling at him with approval.

Galagala only stayed in the healing room for more than two hours. This period of time might be even shorter for Galagala itself. This also indirectly proves that it obviously does not have what the dragon Messiah has.

But think about it, what is the ecological niche of the Duolong clan, what is the ecological niche of Gala Gala, what is the status of their mother, quasi-god, what is the status of your mother? Oh, you don’t have a mother.

While little Duolong was swinging the iron-armed shrimp around for fun, little Carakala was probably burning paper for his mother.

[Healing is complete, you have completed this operation]

[Congratulations on getting gold coins: X3]

[Congratulations on obtaining the item: Thick Bone]

Jiang Cheng looked at the thin and long bone in the warehouse and thought to himself, "System, did you deduct someone's bones?" That's someone's mother. If this is true, then system, you are such a piece of shit.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng quickly opened the comment section. Sure enough, the content above had been updated. It was a Gala Gala avatar: [A very warm hot spring. After soaking in it, I felt my body became comfortable. I didn’t have anything valuable on me, so I could only pay with the bones I picked up before. I will come back next time when I find something valuable.]

After reading the other party's message, Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the system was so inhumane, otherwise he really didn't know how to deal with this prop.

Without any worries, Jiang Cheng clicked and took it out from the storage column. His palm sank, and he saw a bone of perfect size, right length, and very round feel appear in his hand. After weighing it slightly in his hand, Jiang Cheng began to wave it around in his room.

"Hi, hi, I'm the Drunken Swordsman!"

After dancing twice, he felt something extra in the room. He turned around and saw Zhen Yifa at the door looking at him with wide eyes. He was still posing like a wild horse jumping over a ravine.

"Well, I just wanted to try out this bone to see if it's useful. It feels pretty solid, so I think I can buy some money..."

How much can this thick bone sell for?

The answer is: 250 yuan

This is an item that can double the attack power of the Gallant clan. It costs 250 yuan. Just from this point, we can know the position of the Gallant clan in the Pokémon ecosystem.

Of course, there are also Pokémon that cannot be used except for Garagar. But the onions of Farfetch'd can at least be used to make delicious dishes. What can this thing be used for? To make soup?

The next day, Jiang Cheng prepared to go out and fish.

I just bought a fishing rod yesterday. I have to go out and cast a few times to test the quality. If there is any problem, can I return it easily?

Besides, there is nothing to do during the day, and the decoration team hasn't contacted me yet. I might as well go out and catch a couple of fish and earn some extra money.

"Flutterfair, do you want to go fishing together?"

"Send it!"ψ(*｀ー′)ψ

Zhen Yifa nodded. She wanted to go wherever Jiang Cheng planned to go.

"OK, let's go, Gastly, you stay here and look after the house."

"Ghost--s..." (◢д◣)

"Sorry Gastly, I'll buy you a Poké Ball when I go out this time. Then you can go out as you please. Can you just get over it today?"

"ghost--"(?????)

"Okay, I'll bring you something delicious when I get back."

Pokémon are such simple and easily satisfied creatures. Even if Gastly looks scary, as long as you are willing to interact with him, you can discover his cute side. The big purple fat guy is the cutest of the cutest!

Jiang Cheng casually got on the bicycle leaning against the wall without locking it. This Pokémon world is actually similar to the compound in his previous life. It cannot be said that they don't lock their doors at night, but at least they don't pick up things on the streets. The only difference is that the college students in the school have clear eyes and are stupid, while the people in the Pokémon world are simple and have high moral standards.

Jiang Cheng carried his fishing rod bag and rode his bicycle, heading quickly towards the beach. The flying bird beside him floated in the air and followed Jiang Cheng closely. Such a speed posed no challenge at all to her.

When they arrived at the seaside pier, there were already many fishermen fishing. Jiang Cheng quickly found a place, first used some mint mixed with tree fruits to make a nest, then hung the bait, cast the rod, and started fishing!

Jiang Cheng knew how to fish in his previous life, and he had pretty good skills. After all, when it comes to studying fish, fishing is one way to obtain samples, and diving for close contact is another method. Of course, the quickest way is still catching.

Relying on his experience in sea fishing in his previous life, Jiang Cheng swung the fishing rod skillfully, while Zhen Yifa on the side looked at Jiang Cheng curiously, not knowing what he was doing.

"Send it?" (゜-゜)

"I'm fishing. This method is called lure fishing. It mainly uses your own operation, fishing rod, reel and bait to create the illusion of a moving object to attract the attention of fish. When the fish attacks the bait, it is captured."

Jiang Cheng looked at Zhen Yifa and explained.

Generally speaking, there is no need to make a nest for lure fishing, but Jiang Cheng still did it for the sake of safety. Perhaps the private chats from those who were greedy for tree fruits were really effective. Soon, Jiang Cheng felt a falling sensation on his fishing rod.

——A fish is caught!

Chapter 18: Fish Catch

The fishing line began to shake violently and suddenly sank. Jiang Cheng holding the rod thought something was wrong. How could there be a carp in the sea, and a big one at that.

Experienced anglers can often tell which fish has been hooked by looking at its reaction after being hooked, because different fish will have different reactions after being hooked.

According to Jiang Cheng's many years of fishing experience, small carp like to rush around, shake its head and tail after being hooked. If there are obstacles such as water plants and wooden stakes nearby, you must be careful, as it will try its best to get through. Big carp appear to be more stable after being hooked and are easy to get stuck. When you think it is stuck and let down your guard, it will take the opportunity to escape. It is a very cunning fish.

The situation that Jiang Cheng was facing now was perfect for a large carp to be hooked. While Jiang Cheng was wrestling with the fish underwater, he called Zhen Yifa to get the net bag for him.

The result was exactly what Jiang Cheng had expected. When the fishing rod was pulled out of the water, a huge carp kingfish with a red body and a golden crown was pulled out by Jiang Cheng and thrown onto the shore, flapping its wings constantly. The fish's eyes were filled with wisdom.

"It really is a carp..." Looking at the scarlet carp king, Jiang Cheng was quite speechless. You are a carp, it's ok for you to exist in fresh water, but how come you are also involved in sea water?

It can only be attributed to the magic of the Pokémon world.

However, the opponent's second-stage evolved Gyarados basically lives in the sea. Even when it grows up, it still has the habit of living in groups. Freshwater areas can hardly accommodate this group of big guys.

Thinking about it this way, it makes sense that there are Magikarp in the sea...

Looking at the Magikarp flapping on the shore, Jiang Cheng was in a dilemma for a moment. Should he put it back, as it was such a big fish and it was his first fish, it would be of great commemorative significance. But should he keep it, as it would be of no use to him? After thinking about it, he finally decided to keep it. Although the Magikarp is common, its color is still quite nice. The golden red color is very festive, and he could raise one in the hot spring as a fortune-attracting fish.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng picked up the Magikarp and put it into the bucket, and continued his fishing career.

Jiang Cheng's baiting behavior was obviously very effective. He stood out like a disc among the crowd of anglers who were just fishing. When no one else had any catches, Jiang Cheng was able to catch fish in a row. In addition to the occasional king carp, Jiang Cheng also caught quite a few common fish.

The most difficult thing is that I always catch some crucian carp, silver carp and grass carp at the beach. I really don’t understand what is going on with the ecology of this Pokémon world.

Arceus, this is not the way to be lazy!

After working hard for an afternoon, Jiang Cheng returned home satisfied with a full load. Except for the first Magikarp, he released all the other Magikarps. The remaining bucket of fish was today's catch.

He went to the seafood market and sold the fish, earning 3000 yuan. Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh that fishing is such an addictive activity. A scientific card-drawing system of nature that can be controlled by one's own knowledge, and one can also get the pleasure of drawing cards while competing with fellow anglers.

After you draw it, you can show it to your friends around you, and PK in the imperial city, showing off your true face.

After getting lost, you can get actual financial rewards. How can this kind of game not make people addicted and love it?

Jiang Cheng also got lost in the city for a long time while carrying the fish before he went to the market to sell the fish.

Looking at the 3000 yuan in his hand, Jiang Cheng felt somewhat excited. This is the charm of fishing!

However, he also knew that fishing was only a way to solve the immediate problem, and the main source of income was the hot spring center.

As long as the hot spring center can open successfully, everything will be fine!

Today, he was going to visit the home furnishing store and buy some furniture for Zhen Yifa, such as a small bed and the like. After all, these furniture had not been unlocked in the market column of the system and he could not buy them.

The first night was basically manageable, but last night, Jiang Cheng unexpectedly discovered that he had overlooked a very serious matter, that is, he needed a place to sleep, and Zhen Yifa also needed a place to sleep!

Lying on the big bed at night, he vaguely felt a figure coming to his side, and then without saying a word, it coiled around his chest, causing Jiang Cheng to have nightmares for half the night. He was suddenly awakened and found a Pokémon lying on his chest.

Although Zhen Yi Fa only weighs 4 kg, 4 kg is still a lot of weight! It is almost as heavy as an adult cat, which made Jiang Cheng think of buying a small bed for Zhen Yi Fa the next day.

By the way, he also needs to buy two Poké Balls, one for Gastly and one for Magikarp. As for Flutterbear... As his first Pokémon, Jiang Cheng always wants to give her a better one. The ordinary red and white ball is a bit cheap.

See if you can find a ball with a closer color to the Wings Hair to try.

He remembered that the dark ball was pretty good, with a green base, black patterns, and a circle of red edging. The colors matched well and it also fit the attributes of the fluttering ghost and fairy.

However, I have to go to the friendship store to buy the dark ball, and I need to cultivate tacit understanding with Zhenyifa, so I will have to wait a little longer...

Jiang Cheng thought so.

When he arrived at the home furnishing store, Jiang Cheng bought a small Pokémon bed, a small Pokémon nest, which fully demonstrated the differential treatment.

But Jiang Cheng also has something to say. Flutterfat is a partner and Gastly is an employee, how can they be the same?

I've provided you with food and lodging, and you still complain that the bed isn't a Simmons mattress?

If you believe this, you have been fooled, because he didn't pay anyone at all.

If you don't get paid and don't provide food and lodging, you can be taken to the gendarmerie. You know, the animal protection laws in the Pokémon world are quite strict.

Zhen Yifa was still observing his surroundings when he felt a fragrance coming towards him. He turned his head and saw Jiang Cheng's smiling face. He was holding a blue blanket in his hand.

"How about this Miss Skirt patterned blanket? Isn't it nice?"

"Send it?" (O_O)?

"Its texture is very good. I just touched it and it feels similar to your feathers. If you cover yourself with it when you sleep, it will keep you warm. It is also very light so you won't feel any burden."

Flutterfat stretched out his wings, felt the touch of the blanket, and nodded approvingly: "Flutterfat!"

"Do you like it? As long as you like it."

Although this set cost me another 6000 yuan, I am happy with it! Money can't buy happiness, and this is also for the sake of my sleep quality. This is a necessary investment!

Chapter 19: Now it’s a clown.

I went to the Pokémon Center and bought 10 red and white balls. I might need to capture other Pokémon in the future, so I can't wait until then to buy balls. It's better to buy some in advance to have in hand.

Putting the red and white balls into the bag filled with blankets, Jiang Cheng returned to the hot spring resort with the flying wings.

There is a small landscape pool in the front yard of the hot spring center. It is overgrown with weeds and the water quality is poor. However, after systematic cleaning, the water quality has returned to being clear, but the various debris still needs to be sorted out a little.

Jiang Cheng put the Magikarp into the water, looked at the wise expression of Tang, and said with a smile: "Please bear with it here for a while, I will clear the weeds here later, and this will be your home from now on."
