At the beginning of the game, Xanadu accidentally became the champion

"That should be the steel type." Korni gave several energy cubes to Lucario, then turned to Xu Ran and said, "Haoli and Kung Fu Weasel don't like it."

"Okay." Xu Ran exhaled, took out a paper and a notebook, recorded the berries and fire control needed for the energy cube just now, and marked the attribute as steel.

After the recording was completed, Xu Ran picked other berries and threw them into the machine, repeating the steps just now.

With the flickering of the machine lights, Xu Ran produced energy cubes one after another, and at the same time let several Pokémon taste them again.

It is obviously not an easy task to make an energy cube that meets the taste of Pokémon in this almost guessing method. He only made one that meets the taste of Menus when the berries in the pile are exhausted by him. The energy cube gave Xu Ran some comfort.

But when he saw a small pile of energy cubes in front of him, he felt like crying.

This thing is really not easy. After experiencing it once, he understood Xiaoyao instantly.

Chapter 121 Water Problems

In the evening, Xu Ran and Kerni settled down at a nearby Pokémon Center.

As soon as they entered the Pokémon Center, the two were taken aback.

Hospital beds were arranged in random directions in the hall on the first floor. Miss Joy and Fatty were busy nervously, and the entire hall was filled with the painful moans of Pokémon.

At the front desk, Miss Junsha was chatting with a short-haired boy. When she saw Xu Ran and the others coming in, she quickly turned her head and walked over.

"Hello." Miss Junsha greeted first, and then asked, "Did you come from the woods ahead?"

"Yes." Both Xu Ran and Korni were taken aback, not understanding what Miss Junsha meant by what she said, but they still nodded.

"Did you find any suspicious people when you came?" Miss Junsha continued to ask.

"Suspicious person?" Xu Ran and Korni looked at each other, then shook their heads: "I haven't seen it before."

"That's it." Junsha's tone was a little disappointed.

"Miss Junsha, are you arresting any suspects? I am the gymnasium owner of Sala City, Kerni, and we can help if necessary." Seeing Miss Junsha's disappointed face, Kerni Wen said.

As the owner of the gymnasium, he has the responsibility and obligation to help Miss Junsha solve the case within his ability.

"Are you the gym leader?" Hearing this, Miss Junsha was immediately happy: "I do lack manpower here. It would be great if the gym leader can help!"

"So what's going on?" Kerni asked, looking at the screaming Pokémon on the hospital bed.

From Miss Junsha's words, it is not difficult for her to imagine that the reason why the Pokémon here are like this may have a lot to do with that suspicious character.

"Let's talk here." Miss Junsha made an invitation gesture to the two of them, and immediately the three of them came to the guest table and sat down.

"The reason why the Pokémon here are like this is because of the water." Clenching her fist, Miss Junsha said angrily: "After my investigation, the spring water that the wild Pokémon here often drink is contaminated by drugs. It's man-made."

"That's why you asked us if we have seen any suspicious people." Korni suddenly realized. She turned her head and looked at the Pokémon on the hospital bed. Then she noticed that although there were some minor ones and some serious ones, they were basically covering their heads. His stomach howled.

Xu Ran, who was sitting next to Korni, frowned when he heard this.

To pollute the spring water with drugs, and even poison so many Pokémon, what is the dosage?

It is definitely not as simple as a prank to be able to do such a thing, there is a high probability that it is a conspiracy planned by someone with a heart.

It's just... what exactly is he planning to drug the spring in the forest?

"Do you have any ideas? Xu Ran." Looking at Xu Ran's frowning, Kerni asked softly.

"No." Interrupted by Kerni's voice, Xu Ran's brows slowly relaxed, and said: "I just thought that the person who can do such a thing must be planning something, the Pokémon here They are most likely to be implicated."

"I think so too." Miss Junsha responded: "It's just what is being planned, and only by catching suspicious people can we know."

"The Pokémon here should be fine, right?" Xu Ran raised his head and asked as he tapped his fingers on the table.

He used his spiritual power to sense it just now. Although the Pokémon here have all been poisoned by the same poison, their breath has not decreased much.

"With Miss Joey and Fat Keding here, there is no problem." Miss Junsha nodded.

"That's fine." Hearing this, Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

It was already evening, and he was really afraid that there would be a scene where the antidote could only be obtained by catching the poisoner, and he would go to arrest people in the dark in the middle of the night.

After chatting with Ms. Junsha for a while again, after understanding some details, Xu Ran and Kerni went upstairs and went straight to the restaurant.

There will be physical work to be done in a while, so naturally I need to fill my stomach first.

When the two returned to the first floor after eating, all the Pokémon on the hospital bed had gradually recovered under the reasonable treatment of Miss Joey and Fat Keding. In deep sleep.

But to be on the safe side, they still need to be observed tonight.

After enthusiastically helping Ms. Joy push all the beds back to the ward, Xu Ran and Korni went upstairs and returned to their respective rooms.

After washing up in the bathroom, Xu Ran was about to go back to the bed when there was a light knock on the door.

"Xu Ran, are you asleep?"

Hearing the girl's crisp voice, Xu Ran was slightly startled, walked quickly to the door, and pulled her away.

Outside the door, Korni stood tall and graceful, with long golden hair hanging behind her head. She had taken off her sportswear and put on her cute white pajamas.

"What's the matter?" Xu Ran asked warmly after looking at Ke Erni for a few times.

"I...that..." A faint blush appeared on her cheeks. Kerni's eyes were a little evasive and she said softly: "My feet hurt a little..."

"Does it hurt again?" Xu Ran immediately frowned, pulled her into the room, sat on the bed, put her little feet on her lap, looked at the bare feet, but it was as smooth as jade , without any signs of swelling.

Xu Ran was slightly startled. He raised his head and glanced at Kerni's evasive look but pretended to be calm. He suddenly understood and couldn't help but smile.

However, although he saw through Kerni's tricks, Xu Ran did not expose her intentions, but carefully kneaded Kerni's ankle.

After secretly taking a look at Xu Ran's expression and finding that there was nothing unusual, Kerni also breathed a sigh of relief. Her heart was beating loudly, and she was a little excited that her "plot" had succeeded.

She likes the feeling of being cared for by Xu Ran. The few days when her ankle sprained can be said to be the happiest moment for her, but it is a pity that the foot injury will eventually recover...

"Does it still hurt?" Xu Ran asked softly.

"No...it doesn't hurt anymore." Korni shook her head, her tone a little nervous because of her guilty conscience.

Seeing Kerni's nervous expression, the corners of Xu Ran's lips curled up a bit, and he talked about it, giving her a more reasonable reason:

"Your foot has been sprained for several days. If you hadn't been so careless during the injury, it would have been completely healed by now."

"Oh..." Ke Erni didn't dare to say anything, but nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Seeing Ke Erni's cute appearance, Xu Ran's heart beat faster.

Contrast is often the most attractive. Compared with the usual energetic and lively Kerni with a ponytail, the now long-haired, well-behaved Kerni undoubtedly exudes a different kind of personality. Such charm.

Chapter 122 Traces

Taking a deep breath, Xu Ran forced himself to look away, lowered his head, and continued to knead Kerni's ankle.

Looking at it further, he was really afraid that he couldn't help but slap on Kerni's delicate and lovely face.

However, perhaps because she was a bit distracted in her heart, looking at Korni's little feet at this time was also very attractive. They were white, tender and elastic, with perfect arches, slender and round toes, without any blemishes.

"What...what's wrong?" Kerni had been paying attention to Xu Ran's expression. After seeing him glance at her, he lowered his head and rubbed his feet silently. His expression was slightly nervous, and he couldn't stop feeling panic in his heart. Get up and ask cautiously.

"Cough..." Awakened by Ke Erni's timid voice, Xu Ran gave a dry cough and said in a serious manner, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about the spring water."

"Eh?" When she heard what was going on, Korni quickly sat up straight. She blinked and asked, "Did you think of something?"

She knew that Xu Ran was smart, and after that, she exchanged a lot of details with Miss Junsha, which might remind him of something.

Looking at Kerni who suddenly straightened up, Xu Ran felt a little regretful suddenly. He should have known better not to talk about it. He still liked the atmosphere just now.

Sighing secretly in his heart, Xu Ran replied:

"Well, I thought of something, but it's just a guess. Although I feel that it will be the correct answer, I'm not too sure..."

After saying this, Xu Ran's expression gradually became serious. He gently patted Korni's ankle with his palm and said, "Do you still remember what you saw the day you sprained your ankle?"

"What did you see..." Hearing this, Korni thought for a moment and then reacted: "Are you talking about that rare Pokémon - Suicune?"

"Yes, that's it." Snapping his fingers, Xu Ran said, "Suicune is the Aurora Pokémon, and it has a very special ability, or its duty is to purify water.

The distance between where we saw Suicune and here is not that far for Suicune, who is known as the incarnation of the north wind. In addition, someone deliberately put drugs in the water and polluted the water source. It's hard not to think of something. ? "

"If that's the case..." Korni frowned slightly and said, "The person who polluted the water source is most likely a Pokémon hunter, and his purpose is to capture Suicune."

"That's right." Xu Ran nodded, then leaned back against the head of the bed, and sighed: "If my guess is correct and the other party is really a Pokémon Hunter who came for Suicune, then the strength must not be weak. If it happens, we have to be more careful."

Xu Ran wouldn't be too worried if it was just a Pokémon battle, but according to the experience he has learned from anime, these Pokémon hunters who are eyeing divine beasts often have some special mechanized means.

These unconventional means are often the most threatening.

"Yeah." Ke Erni nodded seriously.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and rest, we have to investigate clues with Miss Junsha tomorrow." Xu Ran said softly as he removed Kerni's little feet from his lap with some nostalgia.

"Hee hee, I see, you should go to bed early too." With a sweet smile, Kerni stood up, waved with Xu Ran, turned and left the room.

"Hey... if this girl does this a few more times, I don't know if I can hold it back..." Xu Ran sighed helplessly as she stared at the door blankly, smelling the faint fragrance remaining in the air.

……

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xu Ran and Kerni left the Pokémon Center and arrived at the place agreed upon with Miss Junsha.

The location where they are at this time is exactly at the intersection of the upper and middle reaches of the spring. Due to the topography and geographical location, the spring here is fed by two rivers, which means it has two upstream ends.

After communicating for a while, they divided into two groups and searched in the two upstream directions of the spring.

When discussing the matter yesterday, there were many other enthusiastic trainers who wanted to help, but they were all stopped by Miss Junsha. Large, low vigilance, and weak strength, it is easy to go wrong.

Walking on the road with Kirulian and Korni in his arms, Xu Ran looked sideways into the river.

The river water was so clear that it didn't look polluted at all, but the carp king who was jumping on the water from time to time with a painful expression revealed a problem.

Water-type Pokémon suffer the most from water pollution this time, especially fish Pokémon that live in water...almost all of them suffered. Last night in the Pokémon Center, they were the ones with the most serious symptoms...

……

Walking along the river, Xu Ran would check the river every [-] meters to see the status of the Pokémon before and after, so as to find the approximate place to inject the medicine.

Although such a search was boring, the hard work paid off. Near noon, Xu Ran finally found the approximate location of the poisoning.

"It's right here." Stopping and looking at the different water Pokémon in different states up and down the river, Xu Ran said to Korni: "Let's check around here and see if we can find anything."

"Well, good." Ke Erni nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the other side of the river."

After saying that, Kerni retreated more than ten meters, bent down, pressed the switch on the shoe, then slid forward quickly, jumped by the river, crossed the river, and finally landed lightly on the other side of the river, carrying Lucario, who also passed over easily, walked towards the forest.

"Tsk tsk, this girl is really handsome."
