Chapter 34 The Admission Notice Arrives
"How about it, kid? Want to try again?"
Zhu Suihan took out the remaining sticky pellets and showed them to Nidoking.
"Actually, whether you want to or not, I really want to continue."
In the game, you can throw the ball after the boss is tired, but in reality, you can do whatever you want.
Theoretically speaking, as long as you have enough stock, you can indeed keep throwing things away for fun.
Zhu Suihan said gently, "After all, I want to see where the limits of my research are, and I also want to see your limits."
"But unfortunately, this is Officer Jenny's territory, and Joey and the curator are watching me, so some things are not convenient."
"I really hope you're completely disobedient, so I'll have a good reason to take you away."
To ensure the plan went smoothly, Abi tried hard to keep a straight face, while Nurse Joy and Chansey smiled gently at Nidoking, extending goodwill.
Actually, they were all quite helpless inside.
This trick might fool Pokémon, but the members of Team Dark would never believe it.
Zhu Suihan picked up a sticky ball and placed it in front of Nidoking's eyes, blocking his vision, and his voice suddenly turned cold.
The image of the "illusionary figure in ice" that Ah Bi had once experienced reappeared.
"Now, make a choice."
"Do as I say, or let me take you away!"
Nidoran: !
To hell with the Dark Sphere! What kind of mental manipulation is more terrifying than this guy in front of me!
"Nido, Nido!"
I'll tell you everything!
Humans over there, and gentle Chansey, please help me!
"Has the effect of the Dark Sphere been dispelled?"
Abi clicked her tongue, feeling that this development was somewhat fantastical.
"Of course, but according to Miss Joy's method, it only takes a little time to build a completely new relationship of trust, making Nidoking feel more secure."
Zhu Suihan said, "My method was simply to make a small use of the suspension bridge effect to help Nidoking and Miss Joy quickly establish a relationship of trust and break the influence of the Dark Sphere."
Abi asked doubtfully, "Aren't you afraid King Nido will hear us?"
"So what if we heard it? We've already achieved our goal, and that big guy doesn't dare to look me in the eye."
Upon hearing this, Abi immediately turned to look. Nidoking, who was receiving treatment from Nurse Joy, shuddered and almost hugged Chansey.
"Hmm, you're very sensitive to visual cues. Congratulations."
Zhu Suihan patted Abi on the shoulder: "You've now become the Great Demon King's shameful accomplice. Until his psychological problems are resolved, he won't dare to look at you again."
Abi's face darkened: "I'd rather not have this weird title."
Joey said he couldn't stand their conversation anymore: "You two know your place, why don't you get out of here!"
Zhu Suihan and Abi obediently left the room, while Nidoking, who was about to secretly lick his bandages to heal his wounds, stood frozen in place.
Then, he looked at Joey as if he were a fanatic meeting a god.
"Nido!"
Big Sister!
"There are a few left. Shall we find a few more lucky people to try again?"
To be fair, let's analyze this rationally.
Zhu Suihan hadn't had enough fun yet and wanted to find more Pokémon to test the effects of the Sticky Ball.
The Nidoking we just saw is considered a powerful type, meaning it has a high resistance to capture energy. Other Pokémon are different.
It can only be said that there are differences even between extras.
Abi shook his head: "No need, Nidoking will be dealt with, or rather, once the destruction is successful, Pokémon will know better how to help Pokémon deal with this kind of impact."
"You made this using original cones, right? I have to say it's a bit extravagant."
"If you're using a Pokémon that has been captured, of course, if it's a battle in the wild, you can target your opponent's Pokémon and boost their strength."
Zhu Suihan said, "If I can make the same thing using other cones, the cost can be reduced a lot."
Ah Bi was both amused and exasperated: "Suddenly I'm very curious about your background back in your day, and how you came to know all these strange and unusual things."
"Strictly speaking, perhaps in the era when this thing existed, it was something that a certain profession had to know, just like how a dojo master has to learn management."
Zhu Suihan said, "If you want, I can make a batch for you, but this thing needs to be kept carefully, preferably in a space backpack or something similar."
"Forget it, the shuttlecock you gave me is already very valuable, and I also have my teammates."
Abi said, "This research result is quite suitable for you. After all, you only have Lapras as your partner right now. Although you are quite skilled, you can never have too many tricks up your sleeve in the wild."
The Beiming Ball shook itself rather defiantly, and Chenglong almost wanted to throw the ball at Abi with a water gun.
You're clearly underestimating Longlong's offensive and defensive capabilities!
That makes sense.
Therefore, it's time to proceed to the second step of the research.
Seeing Zhu Suihan deep in thought as he began his research, Abi suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
This kind of uncultured, living antique is constantly engaged in fierce competition, which terrifies him, who has already become the head of the cypress dojo.
If the older generation is this shrewd, the younger generation must be even more terrifying!
Master Abi, you don't want to be overtaken by younger players and replaced as the master, do you?
The devilish whispers were automatically imagined by Abi, and she couldn't help but make up her mind.
Pokémon training has a set daily quota; you can't overwork your partner. But it's different for humans.
It's decided. I'll spend two extra hours studying the decoy module when I get back today!
A week later, Zhu Suihan successfully developed a method for making sticky balls using colored spherical cones.
Actually, it's not that complicated. As long as the cone itself still has the power to capture, then no matter what color it is, the sticky effect will definitely still exist.
Or rather, the colorful spherical balls made of sticky balls showed Zhu Suihan the potential for adding ingredients to sticky balls.
It involves adding materials according to the method of making Berry Balls, so that Sticky Balls can be effective against Pokémon of specific types.
Taking the creation of Heavy Balls as an example, when using Black Berry to make Sticky Balls, reduce the proportion and add the corresponding materials. The resulting Black Sticky Balls will be more effective against heavy Pokémon.
If it might take three or four regular sticky pellets to be effective, then using black sticky pellets for targeted throwing might only require one pellet to be effective.
Fighting the capture energy, from the Pokémon's perspective, is about fighting the capture. If successful, the Pokémon can break free from the Poké Ball, which is a very energy-consuming activity.
This is the core reason why Sticky Balls can tire out Pokémon.
For safety reasons, or to supplement their firepower, and also considering the sustainable development of Mr. Steel's fruit orchard, Zhu Suihan still chose to purchase a large portion of the goods.
If the materials they were buying weren't just ordinary, insignificant resources, Ma Zhishi, who had access to the backend purchase records, would have wanted to ask Zhu Suihan what he was up to.
The quantity was so large that one of the three executives, a certain ninja, even wanted to intervene and investigate to see if someone with ill intentions had obtained the Rocket Group's mobile phone and was preparing to hoard materials at internal prices to make a profit from the price difference.
Then, the space inside the incense burner was filled with sticky pellets. It could be said that even without targeted throwing, the sheer firepower alone would be enough to give any invading Pokémon a hard time.
At first, it was only Chie and Lapras who were worried that Bamboo Suihan would evolve into a boring man. Later, even Steel advised Bamboo Suihan not to work too hard and to go out more to see nature and make friends with Pokémon, blah blah blah.
There's no way around it, when this guy gets going, no one can compare to him. After being inspired, Abi only lasted three days before having to stop his grueling plan due to lack of sleep.
The dojo owner is usually very busy.
Although Zhu Suihan couldn't understand why he had so much energy, it was indeed a huge advantage in terms of involution.
No one can beat me!
On that very day, a magnificent Pidgeot descended from the sky and placed a letter in its beak at Mr. Steel's doorstep.
Zhu Suihan's admission notice.
Since it was Pokémon delivering the goods, there was absolutely no way we expected it.
So much so that when Zhu Suihan and Qianhui returned in the evening, the little girl kept picking at her food, showing no interest whatsoever.
Suihan is about to go to school, and from now on it will just be her and her grandfather at home again.
"If you calculate the time, it's about time indeed."
Zhu Suihan glanced at the admission notice and mentally reviewed the time.
As for why it wasn't an acceptance letter, it can only be said that it couldn't be considered a formal admission. The fact that Professor Oak and Professor Liu were willing to accept the student already demonstrates their extensive connections and influence.
Musashi got in through the entrance exam, while he just ate hotpot and sang songs in Hinoki Town and waited for his acceptance letter to arrive on its own.
Zhu Suihan smiled and said, "I never thought I'd have to go to school at my age."
In any lifetime, campus life is indeed too far removed from one's true identity.
After the meal, Chie came over and tugged at Takesuihan's sleeve.
"Brother Suihan, when are you leaving?"
Zhu Suihan recalled, "I'll stay for two more days, prepare some supplies, and then set off. I plan to hike there."
Chie nodded listlessly, but the sensible little girl didn't say anything.
"Alright, Chie, come with me."
Zhu Suihan led Qianhui and Chenglong back to his room, and then took out an alloy storage box about the size of a briefcase from the incense burner.
"This is a gift I prepared for you."
Zhu Suihan said, "You'll definitely have your own Pokémon partners in the future, and these are some little gadgets I've prepared for you."
"I don't know if your school has any extracurricular camping activities, or rather, I hope your supervising teacher is capable enough so we don't have to use the things I gave you."
The storage box opens to reveal a sophisticated mechanical design. After pressing the button, the internal support slowly rises, revealing a total of five layers.
Inside, there were twenty top-quality flying shuttle balls neatly stacked, as well as a set of sticky balls made from original cones and colored cones, totaling one hundred.
"I don't need to explain how to use Poké Balls, you definitely know. These balls that don't look very pretty can have a great effect when thrown at Pokémon."
Before Chie could even feel happy, Takeshi Han's words sealed the deal.
"Of course, these things are to be kept by Mr. Steel; you can't just take them out and play with them as you please."
They know exactly what they made with their own Sticky Balls; even the powerful Nidoking couldn't withstand more than a few hits, let alone the other Pokémon.
Chie took the Sticky Ball and went out. For Pokémon living in the town, that would definitely have the effect of warding off evil spirits.
"These things will come in handy when you meet someone you like, or when you need to gain the approval of their parents."
From God's perspective, in the original timeline of the special episode, Chie's favorite Pokémon partner was a bear cub.
It's probably the kid of that bully from the area around Huipi Town, the one with the round bear.
If I remember correctly, it seems that the round bear was won over by silver.
Back then, there seemed to be a new feature where hitting the crescent moon on the bear cub's head with a ball, and the circle on the circle bear's chest could increase the capture rate.
So you're going to capture the vital points, huh?
Although Zhu Suihan didn't know what impact his arrival would have, it was the most presentable thing he had at the moment.
Zhu Suihan patted Qianhui's head: "I wasn't tricked into going to some deserted place to dig coal. Oh right, and this too."
Zhu Suihan took out two exquisite little boxes: "These were sent by a friend via express delivery. You can think of them as miniature versions of the video phones at the Pokémon Center."
"One is yours, and the other belongs to Mr. Steel."
"Enter the number, and even if your father is in Silver, he can talk to you directly."
Zhu Suihan smiled and said, "Of course, just remember to pick a time after get off work. Mr. Steel will teach you all of this. If there are too many numbers to remember, you can write them down in a small notebook."
The early childhood education of left-behind children like Chie is indeed a problem, and it seems to be the same in every world.
Well, thankfully, aside from some villains, most of the residents of the Pokémon world are basically given a "good guy" card.
Even in the "Stormy Bike Road" storyline, the energetic young men were willing to contribute their efforts to save the Pokémon, with an entire bike team clearing a path for Ash and his friends.
In cycling, the term "wind breaker" refers to a role in team competitions that is specifically responsible for clearing the way and reducing air resistance, thus saving energy for the team's sprinters.
In other words, you can also think of the Windbreaker as a front-line tank in the game, whose purpose is to allow teammates to deal damage without pressure at crucial moments.
This is not an exaggeration, but a realistic depiction; the Pokémon world is indeed filled with love and peace.
There are also adorable and charming villains.
