Elf: A bad trainer starts from farming

Chapter 43

Mingyou stood up, not expecting a customer to arrive so soon. It seemed that his stall was not particularly remote, at least he could be noticed.

Just when he was about to start selling his own products, he saw clearly who was coming. He couldn't help but be startled. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes again and asked, "Are you... Dr. Kukui from the Alola region?"

"Huh? I didn't expect that someone would know me so far away from the Alola region. It seems that I am famous now, haha."

Dr. Kukui was surprised to see the other party recognizing him. He had only been working as a researcher for the past two years. Before that, he had been traveling around the world as a trainer, challenging alliance conferences.

Later, when he challenged the Quartz Alliance, he fell before the finish line and was defeated by A'Du. Then he ended his trip and returned to his hometown to focus on his career as a researcher. He became somewhat famous, so it was not surprising that someone in such a remote place knew him.

Hearing what the other party said, Mingyou could only smile, find an excuse, and explain: "I also do research on Pokémon moves, and I have seen some papers on the Internet about the doctor's research on moves."

He knew that Dr. Kukui was an expert on Pokémon's moves, so it was okay to say so.

"I see."

Dr. Kukui did not doubt it, but continued to rest on the content on the other side's billboard, and then asked: "Is this true? Fruit has the effect of a move learner? Can you let me see it?"

Although he thought it was impossible, when he remembered that the other person had just said that he had researched Pokémon moves and had read the paper he had written, he became curious and wanted to see what kind of fruit it was.

"no problem."

Mingyu quickly took out the sweet apple with the "energy ball" attached, and Dr. Kukui pushed the frame and began to look at it.

At first glance, it looks like just an ordinary sweet apple, but if you look closely, you will find that this... is still an ordinary sweet apple!

"I don't see anything special..."

"Uh……"

Mingyou was speechless for a moment, but he responded quickly. After all, this heavyweight customer could not be missed. He quickly said: "Although it looks ordinary, the effect is extraordinary. Doctor, you can find a grass-type Pokémon that can learn energy balls." Meng, come here and verify it, you can’t learn it in 5 minutes, it’s free!”

"Huh? Then I'll give it a try!"

Seeing how confident he was, Dr. Kukui became more energetic. As an expert on Pokémon moves, he didn't believe in such a thing.

But if this fruit really has the effect of a move learner, it will really be an era-changing discovery. Can you learn moves in 5 minutes? Can't even think about it.

However, he didn't have a Pokémon that could learn Energy Ball right now, so he said, "Wait for me a moment, and I'll go find my student."

"no problem."

Watching Dr. Kukui leave temporarily, Mingyou still had a confident smile on his face, just like when Xiaoxia bought ponkans with him that day.

"It's finally opening!"

……

After a while, Dr. Kukui returned, followed by two girls.

One is taller, has green hair, wears a flower headdress, and has twin tails, and the other is petite, with short blue hair, like a primary school student, and the two are talking.

"The apple shaved ice just now was really good. It was also strawberry shaved ice. It was completely different from what I had in Hau'ola City."

"Indeed, but instead of eating shaved ice, I really want to go fishing on the river in Emerald Town. I just heard someone said that you can see white-striped wild bass in Beishang Township. You can't see this in other places now."

"It's hard to leave Alola for once, and you're only thinking about fishing. Why not walk around and take some photos? Mitsuki and Lillie went to the shrine to play, and we'll go there later."

"no problem."

"arrive."

Dr. Kukui stopped, and the two girls talking behind him also stopped talking and looked at Mingyu's stall. At the same time, they were also attracted by the content of the billboard, and they both showed surprise.

"Eat fruit...learn moves?"

"Is this a liar?"

The little girl spoke bluntly, frowning slightly, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Water lotus!"

Dr. Kukui shouted to the little girl. After all, this was outside, so it was better to be polite.

Then he looked at the green-haired girl and said, "Maao, let your sweet bamboo shoot out, and then eat that sweet apple."

"Ah?" Maho was slightly startled. Could it be that the doctor really thought this apple could be effective?

"Isn't this... too expensive?"

She waved her hand quickly. The price of this apple was enough to buy a flight ticket back to Alola. She couldn't let the doctor be deceived.

"It's okay. This guy and I have agreed that if it doesn't work, there's no need to spend money."

"Uh... well then."

Having said this, Mao could only nod his head, and Mingyou also handed the sweet apple to him.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed a strange line of sight, so he subconsciously turned his head and saw Shui Lian with his arms folded across his chest, staring at him with a very strange look.

Stare~~~
  "Is there a problem?"

"No, it's just that if you dare to cheat us, it will be terrible. I will definitely knock down your stall!"

"Ha~ Let's wait and see!"

Mingyou chuckled and watched Mao hand the apple to a mangosteen standing on his shoulder...

[Sweet Bamboo: Fruit Pokémon, not very smart, but very friendly, easily attracted by curious things, and can gain favor very easily]

Tianzhuzhu also likes sweets. When he saw Maao handing over a sweet apple, he immediately smiled, then took a bite and quickly ate the apple.

Just when everyone was focusing on it, expecting what would happen, Tian Zhuzhu, who had just eaten the apple, suddenly froze...

"What's wrong!"

Mao suddenly became anxious. Just when Mingyou was about to tell her not to worry, Sui Lian suddenly took out a fishing rod from nowhere and swung it violently, even sending out a sonic boom, directly in front of his neck.

"do not move!"

Mingyou slowly raised his hands and whispered: "You all have fourth-dimensional pockets, right..."

Dr. Kukui didn't make any move and just continued to stare at Tianzhuzhu.

And in the next second, Tian Zhuzhu's body suddenly trembled, then opened her small mouth to gather the energy of the grass, and finally turned into a green ball of light.

But perhaps because he was not particularly skilled yet, or because he consumed too much energy, the light ball shot uncontrollably towards a locust tree not far away, accurately hitting the trunk, and the energy dissipated immediately.

However, the power was very small, and it only knocked down some leaves, but this scene was enough to shock everyone present. Mao looked at Tianzhuzhu in disbelief.

"It's actually...it's true..."

"How on earth did this work?"

Dr. Kukui was completely stunned. Let alone 5 minutes... it was less than 1 minute. Gossamer had to learn all aspects of this move slowly!

"I'll just tell you~"

Mingyou put one hand on his hips and continued to laugh: "You can't afford to suffer, you can't afford to be fooled!"

"It's true... I've learned a lot."

Dr. Kukui admitted that he had made a mistake. He did not expect that fruit could really be used as a move learner... No, it should be said that the effect was better!

He willingly paid for the sweet apples, and looked at the remaining apples with curiosity, intending to buy another one to try.

But seeing him pay, Mao came back to his senses and said quickly: "Doctor, let me..."

But before she could finish her words, Tian Zhuzhu, who had just released his energy, began to smell more sweet scent. The sleeping little Kirby sat up in shock and suddenly jumped up due to his dying illness.

"Gambi~"

It snatched away Tianzhuzhu and held it in its hand before biting it down. The unexpected situation caught everyone present off guard, but Mingyou was still able to react.

"Hey! You can't eat this!"
