Amy dared not look Fang Gu in the eye, while the noisy bird on her shoulder, whose head resembled musical notes, greeted Fang Gu enthusiastically.
Hello~ Hello~
Chapter 175 Egg Hunting Contest
The parrot-like Pokémon on Amy's shoulder is a Normal/Flying type Pokémon called Chatot.
Its head is shaped like a musical note, its chest and claws are yellow, its wings are blue, and its abdomen is green.
It looks like she's wearing a dopamine-inspired dress.
Upon hearing Chatterbox say "Hello~", Fang Gu was taken aback at first, then realized that Chatterbox has a tongue structure similar to that of humans and is one of the few Pokémon that can learn human language.
"Hello, noisy bird."
Fang Gu greeted the noisy bird with a kind smile.
"Call me Xiao Gua!"
The chattering bird held its head high. The name seemed to have been given by Amy, and the chattering bird liked the name very much.
"You chatterbox!"
Amy gently patted the head of the noisy bird beside her, signaling it not to be so rude.
The noisy bird turned its head to the side.
What a noisy bird with personality!
Amy smiled apologetically at Fang Gu, and then a familiar voice came from not far away.
"Amy, Fang Gu!"
"Sorry, I'm late!"
Lance scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed, and quickly walked over.
"Mr. Lance, really, he's late for such an important holiday."
Amy, upon seeing an acquaintance, complained to Lance.
Fang Gu then realized who the noisy bird had taken after, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Amy blushed and lowered her head.
"When did you two become so close?" Lance tilted his head.
…………
As time passed, Fang Gu began to see children around the same age as Fang Xiaolu, who were with their parents.
Most of these children brought their own Pokémon partners.
There was a little boy who looked like a bug-catching boy, holding his Pokémon partner Metapod, and there was a little boy who looked like a boy in shorts, carrying his bird Pokémon Pidgey.
When birds and insects meet, conflict is inevitable.
Foss thoughtfully set up a special Pokémon battle arena for children on the edge of Crescent Moon Town, fulfilling their little wish to become Pokémon trainers.
However, its strength is probably only at the level of a baby cup.
Even Riolu, who is obsessed with battles, would shake his head and walk away upon seeing this level of intensity.
Of course, these children weren't just Pokémon like Metapod and Pidgey. Just now, Fang Gu saw more than one Pokémon from other regions.
An adorable Gible is chasing a blue penguin Pokémon.
It is the starter Pokémon Madoka from the Sinnoh region.
"Attention children, the egg-hunting competition will start promptly at 10:00. Please gather on the high platform in the center of town."
A loudspeaker on the street came on, and Foss's voice came through.
The crowd began to move toward the center of the town.
The Egg Hunt is an event that Crescent Moon Town prepares for Easter. Foyth will place eggs painted with colorful paint in some corners of the town, and children can search for them with their own Pokémon or cooperate with other children.
Children who find the colorful eggs will receive a reward from the Old Moon Bird Town.
Last year it was a whole year's worth of Pokémon food, the year before it was a whole set of evolution stones, and this year's reward will probably be similar.
Fang Gu propped his cheek on his elbow and lazily looked at the center of the town.
My younger sister seems determined to win this egg-hunting contest, and has even been secretly training Meow Meow for several days in a row.
But is the Psychic-type Meowth really a good choice for finding Easter eggs?
Seeing Fang Gu's bored expression, Mianmian Puff jumped onto Fang Gu's head and bounced around.
Hey! Cheer up!
“Mr. Fang Gu, uh… you don’t need to worry, the customer flow usually only increases around noon.”
Amy, who had been secretly watching Fang Gu from the side, carefully considered her words before speaking.
She thought Fang Gu was taking a break because no one had visited for the past hour or two.
Lance, who had been eavesdropping nearby, remained silent, inwardly sighing with admiration.
"Youth!"
Just as Fang Gu was about to reply to Amy, a little girl walked up to Fang Gu's stall.
The little girl clutched the hem of her clothes and pursed her lips.
She is Nini, Fang Xiaolu's good friend.
"Nini, are you here to see Xiaolu? Is that your Pokémon behind you?"
Fang Gu looked behind Nini and saw a pink Pokémon wearing a pink dress that resembled a bulldog.
It seemed to hear Fang Gu calling it.
It ran out tremblingly and barked fiercely at Fang Gu twice.
To Fang Gu, what was described as "fierce" seemed more like an attempt to act cute.
"Blue, don't do this..."
Nini, holding the Pokémon named Blue, had a hint of embarrassment on her face.
"It's alright, I know quite a bit about Pokémon like Blue." Fang Gu affectionately patted Blue's head, and the latter's trembling gradually subsided.
"Blu-Blanc is a very cowardly Pokémon. In order to hide its cowardice, it will roar loudly and show its teeth in an attempt to scare away its opponent."
"But Blue always looks a little lonely after scaring away the other Pokémon."
"Actually, Little Blue also wants to be my friend."
With a smile on his face, Fang Gu took a packaged flower cake from his stall and placed it in Bru's hand.
The latter smelled the enticing aroma of the food in its hand, and its eyes lit up instantly. It turned to look at its owner, Nini.
Can I accept this? They smell really good!
Nini tried to take money out of her small wallet, but Fang Gu waved her hand and refused.
"Consider this my treat to you, as a way of thanking you for taking good care of my sister."
"Take this one to her too. Xiao Lu should be in the center of town right now, preparing to participate in the egg-hunting competition."
"You have to work hard too."
Fang Gu placed two more flower cakes in Nini's hands, then pointed to the platform in the center of the town.
"Wang!"
When Bru heard Fang Gu say that, he happily picked up the flower cake and started eating.
It's delicious! You should try it too!
Bru tugged at Nini's sleeve, her eyes squinting with happiness.
Nini also picked up a flower cake and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste burst in Nini's mouth, as if she were in a huge garden with beautiful butterflies fluttering around her.
"Delicious!" Nini exclaimed.
Lance, who was secretly observing, gently stroked the head of the Twisted Dog.
"Look, old friend, the trainer I chose for your kid isn't bad, is it!"
Nini and Blue lingered at Fanggu's stall for a while, and the strong floral fragrance unexpectedly attracted many customers.
For a time, Fang Gu was so busy that he couldn't spare a single hand, and even the grocery stores and Starlight Restaurant stalls on both sides gained a lot of customers as a result.
Chapter 176 Mr. Bruce the Puppy
"The egg hunt has officially begun!"
When Mayor Foyth's voice came over the loudspeaker, the number of people in the market area immediately decreased significantly.
Fang Gu wiped the sweat from his forehead, finally having a free hand.
Are there always this many people at Easter?
Fang Gu complained to Mary and Amy at the stalls on both sides.
"It seems there weren't this many people before. It's probably because of you. After all, you're a 'celebrity' with hundreds of thousands of followers on Douyin."
Amy rolled up her sleeves and handed the packaged food to the customer.
"Indeed, staying by Fang Gu's stall has led to a significant increase in our income."
Mary joked that most of the items on the grocery store stalls were small souvenirs that fit the characteristics of the Easter holiday, as well as cultural and creative products from the Old Moon Bird Town.
Mary and Peter have a great eye for choosing products; even Fang Gu couldn't resist buying a refrigerator magnet with a Crescent Moon Bird carrying Pikachu.
Seeing that the tourists' attention was focused on the egg-hunting competition, Fang Gu asked Amy to watch over the stall, and then, with his wallet in hand, went to patronize the businesses of the vendors on the same street.
When Fang Gu returned from his shopping trip, he was holding two ice cream cones. He ate one himself and fed the other to Mianmian Puff.
This kind of icy and sweet flavor perfectly matches the taste of cream puffs.
Even this ice cream cone is nowhere near as good as Fei Yun Ice Cream.
