Fighting for a Better Tomorrow

Chapter 57 Fighting for a Better Tomorrow (Food)

"Alright, the unimportant things have been taken care of, now we can finally focus on our wallets."

Zhu Suihan said, "If the two of us are eating, all sweet dishes should be fine, right?"

Chenglong thought for a moment, and just as he was about to nod, he became serious and whimpered as he reminded Zhu Suihan.

"You mean, prepare one for Little Fairy Milk too?"

Zhu Suihan rested his chin on his hand: "That's right. It's only a day. Before it's delivered to me, there's really no chance of getting the tree fruit a second time."

The dean is currently in the stage of negotiating with people while standing on the table; in reality, he's just showing off.

The rollout of the medicine bottle plan will take some time, so we need to take Little Fairy Milk's share into account first.

Chenglong was also thinking. Although she also wanted to eat more sweet and high-end products, her companions whom she had not yet met were also very important.

"The taste of Little Fairy Milk is indeed hard to describe."

Although there are many versions of Creamy Milk Tea, the flavors are fixed, while Little Creamy Milk Tea is simply sweet cream.

However, one interesting thing is that both Fairy Milk and Creamy Milk have some similarities to Togepi.

If you treat Pogepi well, Pogepi will be willing to share its good fortune with you.

If you treat Alcremie and Frostleaf well, the cream they produce will become more and more delicious. It seems they will even give cream-covered berries to their favorite trainers and Pokémon.

"How about this, we take seventy sweet ones, and for the remaining thirty, we take a mix of different flavors?"

Chenglong nodded: "Woo woo."

Spicy and bitter foods are out of the question; I doubt Little Fairy Milk would like them.

Sour desserts at least have a sweet and sour flavor, but even if there are desserts with corresponding bitter, spicy, or astringent flavors, I would never eat a bite of them, no matter what.

"That makes sense, let's go."

Zhu Suihan smiled with satisfaction and followed the simple route on the card to arrive at this precious fruit forest.

"It was in the back mountain."

There are many divided areas on the back mountain, the kind that both humans and Pokémon can see clearly at a glance.

This greatly reduces the possibility of senior students' graduation projects being sabotaged.

After reaching the area of ​​the fruit orchard, Zhu Suihan's lips twitched.

He saw the driver from the school bus.

"At your age, you still have to take on multiple jobs like a young person. Are you short of money, sir?"

"Is it possible that forest rangers earn more and have a much less demanding job?"

The school bus driver glanced at Zhu Suihan: "Show me your voucher. You need to swipe your card to enter here, and they will check the number of tree fruits you take with you before you leave."

"One hundred? I didn't expect you to have made such a contribution so soon after entering the academy?"

The driver chuckled, "Go on in. Whether you need Pokémon's help or pick them yourself, it's fine."

"Oh right, once a fruit falls from the tree, it will count towards your quota, whether you want it or not, so go easy on it."

Zhu Suihan nodded his thanks, then glanced at Commander Pi Zhan, who was standing silently with his arms crossed and back against a tree next to the uncle.

Of course, you can also understand that they are pretending to be profound.

The blade bears many indelible marks of battle, but the edge remains sharp, and the light shining on it is somewhat dazzling.

He's a master, and from what the uncle has said before, he's the kind of master who's honed his skills in the wild.

Suck--

Upon arriving at the orchard area, Zhu Suihan and Chenglong simultaneously took a deep breath and then held it in, no longer thinking about exhaling.

Please note that the current breathing mode has been successfully switched to manual mode.

There was no way around it; the mixed scents of tree fruits in the air were so strong that they were intoxicating.

To put it dramatically, the air here is so rich in nutrients that you could probably fill your stomach just by breathing.

To be honest, with each breath, Zhu Suihan felt for the first time that "her body had always been in a rusty state."

"Now I finally understand just how valuable the fruit from these old trees is."

Zhu Suihan exclaimed excitedly, "Let's go! The sweet tree fruits are calling us!"

“Wuwu!”

set off!

One hundred tree fruits may sound like a lot, but for two highly excited contestants, this amount was hardly enough to satisfy them.

“Wuwu!”

Chenglong looked at Zhu Suihan with a determined expression, having successfully launched the Taijinghua in the Chengdu region, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

We must work hard so that every meal from now on consists of these high-grade tree fruits!

Nurse Joy's recent statement, "Don't push your trainers too hard," was completely forgotten by Lapras.

Longlong needs to work even harder with his trainer!

Zhu Suihan placed her hand on Chenglong's forehead, and both of them felt that they had achieved a deeper emotional connection at this moment.

For the Alliance! For the Horde!

For better food!

This is the truth of the world!

Having used up all his quota, Zhu Suihan didn't rush back with Chenglong. Instead, he headed deeper into the area to broaden his horizons.

Then, the two of them saw a tree full of golden cranberries, which looked incredibly tempting with their sheen and aroma. Zhu Suihan was practically ready to take action right away.

"Damn, the Unova alliance has already established close ties with other alliances so early on?"

Zhu Suihan was furious at its lack of ambition. If the version update hadn't been so fast, he would have wanted to produce some more scientific research results and then select another Zoroa to train.

Although many people have misconceptions about Zoroa, such as it being a mythical, legendary, or pseudo-legendary Pokémon, its racial characteristics are truly formidable.

As long as the moves aren't too outrageous, generally not many people will be able to recognize it.

It is vastly different from Ditto, whose transformation inevitably leaves it with beady eyes.

Even if it's just Zoroa, with some training, pulling out some things will be a piece of cake!

I can't hold back anymore, I want to switch careers right now and become a lawless outlaw!

"Waaah."

Fortunately, Chenglong noticed Zhu Suihan's thoughts, nudged the other's shoulder with his head, and looked at Commander Pizhan, who was already sitting on the ground warming himself by the fire.

Zhu Suihan glanced over and noticed that there was another Pokémon next to Commander Bislash.

Question: Are Pokémon that look like scorpions considered insects? Would a single Flamethrower be highly effective against them?

Pincers-tailed Scorpion is fine, but Dragon King Scorpion is not.

The Vicious configuration of the Dragon King Gripen is a complete fake bug; the configuration of the "Little Killer" can only be described as deceptively similar to Charizard.

"Bisharp, Drapion, just as I thought, you can take any villainous Pokémon setup with a grain of salt."

As long as you like it, any Pokémon can be your partner, and other people's opinions are just nonsense to you.

Zhu Suihan glanced at the Dragon King Scorpion, which was also covered in wounds but still in good spirits.

It wasn't that I wanted to test the purity of the Pokémon with the sticky pellet, but I felt that the driver's setup was pretty good, and I was a little curious about what his third Pokémon would be.

Furthermore, he is quite interested in Poison-type Pokémon.

In the Pokémon world, antidotes seem to be somewhat universal; no matter what Pokémon's attack it is, as long as the person is poisoned, it can be resolved with antidotes and Peach Berry.

However, in terms of the composition of the toxins, this is somewhat incorrect.

There's no need to differentiate them down to things like bee venom and snake venom anymore; the distinction between animal toxins and plant toxins seems to be nonexistent in the Pokémon world.

Unless the basic logic of this toxin in terms of its fundamental nature and energy is no different, it can only be resolved in one go with an antidote, with only the dosage being different.

To put it more normally, it's the basic logical language of toxin composition.

To put it in a more fantastical way, the "law runes" that constitute the toxins are very likely the same.

Therefore, the best antidote is to address the root cause of the problem.

"it's over?"

The driver glanced at it and said, "I'll keep track for you. If you're cold, you can go warm yourself by the fire."

"No need for that. I think I understand why you're here keeping watch now, sir."

Zhu Suihan said with a smile, "The natural environment here is so good, it's definitely a suitable place for Pokémon to retire."

"That's right, this place is also part of the treasure trove of Joey Academy."

The driver said, "It depends on whether you want to specialize in anything in the future. Maybe you can come to the back mountain and become a high-level fruit farmer."

Zhu Suihan wondered, "Shouldn't there be requirements for the partner? Not everyone's Pokémon happens to be able to mobilize natural energy and also be beneficial to the growth of berries."

"No need. How could such a large college exploit its students' labor?"

The driver calmly said, "The Pokémon fruit farmers have official jobs; with subsidies, bonuses, and salaries, they earn more than I do in a year."

"As for the students, you just need to focus on learning what you're supposed to learn and don't waste these precious things."

Okay, so everyone really has a permanent position, huh?

I reckon any Pokémon that learns to till the land could probably win a lot of votes.

Zhu Suihan and Chenglong made their escape. When they came out, the academy was already brightly lit, and it was nighttime, which was the students' favorite time of day.

To be precise, apart from the absence of evening self-study sessions, the course schedule at Joy Academy is actually not much different from that of high school, and it is basically always fully booked.

Back in the dormitory, Zhu Suihan couldn't wait to take out a mango, a fruit whose sweetness is directly proportional to its curvature.

The piece in Zhu Suihan's hand had been completely polished; if it weren't for its bright and lustrous color, it would really look like some kind of fossilized seashell.

"But that's also proof that it tastes good."

Zhu Suihan placed the mango on the cutting board and carefully cut it in half with a knife.

Half of it was swallowed whole by Chenglong, while the other half was savored by Zhu Suihan.

Then, both the trainer and the Pokémon showed expressions that said, "I'm going to melt."

Delicious, absolutely delicious!

The sweetness isn't like that cheap, industrial sweetness that makes you want to vomit; instead, it's a natural sweetness that's irresistible yet doesn't make you feel sick.

Instead, it's the kind of sweetness and juice that emerges from the fruit pulp with each chew, sweeping through the mouth like a surging tide.

After Zhu Suihan and Chenglong swallowed all the fruit pulp, they were still unconsciously chewing the sweet air in their mouths, as if even the air was filled with the delicious sweetness, becoming as thick as meat chops.

"I want to rob the back mountain again."

"Waaah."

This time, Chenglong didn't refute, but nodded in agreement.

Tasting a single fruit is merely a frugal act due to an overall shortage of quantity.

But the taste of just this one tree fruit had completely won them over.
