So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 121 The Past of the Mischievous Frog

Chapter 121 The Past of the Mischievous Frog

Seeing Tan Xiaoshi shed tears, everyone guessed that he was thinking of his missing brother.

His brother's fate was unknown, yet he was enjoying a delicious meal here. The contrast between worry and joy washed over Tan Xiaoshi's emotions like a waterfall, and then tears streamed down his face.

The companions wanted to comfort Tanjiro, but they heard hissing. Turning around, they saw the trainer holding up a finger, signaling them to be quiet.

When you're sad, you can't offer comfort. Concern is like a pebble; it will break through the dam of reason and make your emotions even more turbulent.

Let Tan Xiaoshi release her emotions first.

So everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

"What happened to Tan Xiaoshi?" Mary asked, leaning closer to Wei Xin.

Wei Xin whispered the story of Tan Xiaoshi to Mary. He had already asked the professor, Lillie, and Ma Liang to help search for the whereabouts of Tan Xiaoshi's brother.

However, the possibility of the brothers reuniting is uncertain. The land of Donghuang is vast, and some areas are fraught with danger. Tan Xiaoshi's basic abilities are not strong, so he can only do his best.

Although there are also Tanjiro clan members in the Eastern Empire, their numbers are very small and they are mostly scattered. Moreover, the crafting techniques for the Celebration Armor and Curse Armor required for Tanjiro's evolution have long been lost.

Those capable of evolving into Azure Flame Blade Demons and Crimson Lotus Armored Riders either possess ancestral armor or can only be discovered through archaeological excavations.

They are even rarer when found in the tombs of emperors and nobles.

As a result, although everyone likes Tanjiro, not many people actually own one.

"I see. I'll ask the shouting team to keep an eye out for me too," Mary said.

"By the way, Mary, haven't you considered raising some other Pokémon?" Wei Xin asked. "Grimmsnarl can't Dynamax, so you must be having a hard time battling gyms right now."

"Or perhaps we could evolve the Bad Frog into a Poison Frog?" Wei Xin turned his head and glanced at the Bad Frog squatting in the garden outside the window, licking the goat cheese in his hand while staring at Millerton, who was covering his nose.

This rascal, even before evolving, was able to defeat the Gym Leader-level Empoleon. If it were to evolve into Totodile, its strength would likely approach that of an Elite Four member.

Mary shook her head: "The Bad Frog's situation is a bit special; it's not that it can't evolve."

Although the bad frog dislikes the poison frog in terms of its living habits, it only regards it as an opponent. Most bad frogs will still evolve without hesitation when the time is right.

Mary said, "Actually, I wasn't this rascal's first trainer. His previous trainer was an Interpol agent."

He was a friend of my brother's when he was young.

"Back then, my brother and I traveled the world together and solved many cases. Then one time, in the Sinnoh region, we encountered an organization that called itself Team Galactic."

"According to my brother, they were ambushed by Team Galactic. Crabcrown was caught off guard and defeated by Team Galactic's Toxapex. When it woke up, it learned that its trainer was missing."

"Losing a trainer is a serious blow to a Pokémon."

"For a long time afterward, the unruly frog was listless and it took it a long time to recover. It then decided to go out and cultivate."

However, my brother was injured in that incident and is now unwell, so he can't travel for long periods and has to stay in Spiketown as the Gym Leader. Therefore, my brother entrusted the Croagunk to me.

Mary sighed: "I think the reason she's unwilling to evolve is that she intends to defeat the poisonous frog of yesteryear as a bad frog, and make peace with her past self."

"It's a knot in my heart," Wei Xin sighed.

He knew Team Galactic well; the villains of the Sinnoh region, their leader Sun, was a reclusive young man named Sun, who, due to his parents' failed upbringing and the loss of his childhood companions, was disillusioned with the world and determined to create a new one.

From corporate executives, regional leaders, and religious patriarchs to roving employment groups and local thugs and school gangs, it has to be said that there are a lot of villains in the Pokémon world.

Don't these guys have to go to work or school?

It's either that the Pokémon world has too much productivity and other regions have too little education, allowing a bunch of teenagers to run around outside, so many of them are just bored and easily lured away by someone who can talk a good game.

"Alright, little ones, come and see the gifts I bought for you." After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Wei Xin sat on the sofa and began to unpack the packages.

Wei Xin first took out a diving ball and put the sea lion inside. The environment inside was more suitable for the sea lion's physique.

Then Wei Xin also got Qiuqiu the sea lion an air humidifier.

When not battling, Popplio, as a Water-type Pokémon, needs to keep its body hydrated. Dryness can affect its development, so it has to stay in the water for long periods of time. A humidifier can extend its time on land.

There's also a small skateboard to help the sea lion, Ball Ball, move around on land.

Overwhelmed by the abundance of gifts, the sea lion exclaimed that listening to Eevee and joining this family was truly worthwhile.

So she blew a blue heart-shaped bubble and slapped it onto the trainer's face.

After dealing with the Popplio issue, Wei Xin squatted down in front of Mimikyu: "Mimikyu, do you really not need to get a new Poké Ball?"

"Mimi!" Mimikyu shook her head. She had used that Poké Ball for a long time and had grown attached to it. She couldn't bear to change it, so Wei Xin had no choice but to agree.

"Mibrim, look what this is?" Wei Xin stood behind Mibrim, holding a soothing bell in his hand. He shook it, and the melodious bell sound echoed in the room.

Hearing the bell, Mibrim looked away from the long-haired troll who was training, and felt the noisy atmosphere around her disappear.

The teardrop-shaped organ on Mibrim's head allows her to perceive the emotions around her. However, absorbing too many emotions can place a heavy burden on Mibrim, which is why she prefers to live in a quiet forest.

Joy is not something that can be shared between people; she just wanted to be alone.

The city environment is unsuitable for Mibrim, especially places like schools and hospitals, where the resentment can be so strong it could kill an evil sword immortal. Carrying a soothing bell can greatly alleviate this problem.

"Mimi." Hiding the soothing bell in her hair as a way of repaying the favor, Mibrim walked over to the long-haired troll and pushed a dumbbell next to Wei Xin.

No matter how big the long-haired troll's muscles are, they still belong to someone else, so she has to urge the trainer to train them into a big one!

Muscular! A powerful, muscular man.

You call this repaying someone?

"I'll definitely do it next time."

Wei Xin smiled. He had been cooking, doing housework, and dealing with various problems all day long, so he was getting a lot of exercise.

Moreover, he currently has six points of stamina and some muscle on his body.

Wei Xin suddenly remembered that Brimwyn, the evolved form of Mibrim, seemed to be able to Dynamax.

Since you like big ones, why not let her grow bigger on her own?

Regarding whether Dynamax can be used in Donghuang, Wei Xin has an idea: some Pokémon that want to Dynamax need to eat Dynamax Soup made from Max-Fountain.

The Shennong Materia Medica provided by the system does indeed record the existence of giant mushrooms. Combined with the Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth in the Eastern Huang mythology, in other words, there was once a giant energy underground in some parts of the Eastern Huang.

Speaking of mushrooms, one naturally thinks of Yunnan; perhaps there are clues there.

After that, I contacted the professor to see if he could send someone to conduct an investigation.

After dealing with Mibrim, Wei Xin turned around and saw Tan Xiaoshi lying on the sofa with her eyes closed, clearly exhausted from crying.

At the same time, Rotom, who was lying in the corner charging, suddenly opened his eyes and flew to Wei Xin's side.

"My lord, you have a message from the Sinnoh champion."
