Venom Extraction Test

Chapter 78 Venom Extraction Test

After sending the two noisy guys to sleep, Zhu Suihan opened the dormitory door and glanced at the moonlight.

Yes, it's beautiful, but I didn't see Cresselia or Darkrai.

There were no devilish demands for immediate classes after I came back.

Zhu Suihan jogged all the way to the lakeside: "Big guy, big guy, come out."

"Gala."

The enormous body floated to the surface of the water, and Gyarados looked at Zhu Suihan with an expression that said, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

Do you even know what time it is?!

"Don't look at me like that, something good is coming."

Zhu Suihan sat on the lawn, brought up the pictures on her phone, and turned the brightness to the maximum.

"Look at the pictures inside, do you have any special insights?"

"Gala?"

Gyarados just leaned over for a glance, its ferocious expression instantly froze, and then its entire large face was almost touching the phone screen.

"You actually understand it?"

Zhu Suihan was somewhat surprised, after all, it seemed that apart from thinking that the previous Gyarados was relatively large, all he could think about was whether it was valuable or not.

Judging from Gyarados's expression, it's clear that it understands what's implied.

Now Zhu Suihan truly believed it.

Not only is there reproductive isolation among species, but it seems that a similar situation exists in the transmission of knowledge.

"Gala."

Gyarados nodded, indicating that Zhu Suihan had finished reading it himself.

"Don't worry, there's more to come. The first one is just the full picture; there will be clearer versions later."

As the images were flipped through one by one, Gyarados gradually began to twist and turn, and ripples spread across the water beneath it.

It's just like a little kid who starts imitating a dance for the first time, but because they don't know the tricks, their overall posture looks very strange.

When it comes to a child, this behavior can be described as cute.

However, when placed on a Gyarados with a fierce expression, it becomes somewhat frightening, giving the impression that it's being controlled by a villain and is about to fly out and wreak havoc.

"Don't just look, think about how you usually dance and use Dragon's Fury. Don't tell me you don't know either of those moves."

"Gala."

How could that be? I just didn't think of that question for a moment!

Gyarados slowly submerged into the water, then shot into the sky like a cannonball, its body shimmering with a crimson light that enhanced its abilities.

Zhu Suihan stepped back to avoid getting his hair wet from the lake water.

"Gala, Gala."

It really works!

Gyarados was excited, and after seeing the pictures, he felt he could further manipulate his inner power and incorporate that violent force into his special moves.

To put it simply, Gyarados felt that the bottleneck in its strength was loosening.

As for how the violent power originating from within is incorporated into a special move, for a Pokémon like Gyarados with a wide range of attacks, it's basically a matter of sheer force.

Your flamethrower is a small, manual flamethrower; I'll just give you a war-grade Hellfire Flamethrower!

You want to outgun us, huh? Let me see your caliber!

"It really works! That's great!"

Zhu Suihan clapped his hands: "The advanced technique of Dragon Dance should be replacing fixed movements with your daily activities. Have you grasped this step?"

"Gala."

Gyarados nodded. The move he had just made—diving into the water and then surging upwards—was Dragon Dance.

After hearing the reason, Zhu Suihan clicked his tongue.

All I can say is thank you to the Pokémon that fly around the Great Lake every day.

Gyarados's strong sense of territory makes it fly upwards every day to boost the strength of other Pokémon. When it comes to its most familiar moves, this set of upward-flying moves is definitely among the top.

Another key point is that this behavior embodies Gyarados's tyrannical nature.

"Alright, the saying 'a fish leaping over the dragon gate becomes known throughout the world' applies here too."

Leaping out of the sea to boost one's ability level is much more normal than Professor Oak's Extreme Speed ​​Fighting Dragon Dance.

At least you can see a way to counter Gyarados's advanced Dragon Dance move.

"You could explore this idea as your next step."

Zhu Suihan said, "Use your body to create a whirlpool, and then, while you are inside the whirlpool, further stir it up and enhance its power, incorporating the movements of the dragon dance into it."

A swirling tide and a dragon dance?

No, this is the washing machine dragon dance.

Gyarados glanced back at the lake, thought for a moment, and then nodded, indicating that it would find an opportunity to try.

Gyarados felt it wasn't that much of a beast, having used Tide Whirl to train Dragon Dance on its own territory.

If things get too chaotic and hurt your underlings, that won't be fun.

"Alright, go to sleep now, goodbye."

After saying goodbye to the dragon, Zhu Suihan glanced at the brightly lit laboratory building and suddenly felt a strong urge to open a laboratory to conduct research.

"Forget it, I'll just go back to sleep and give myself a little break today."

Early the next morning, Zhu Suihan rode a dragon with Little Fairy Milk on his head to the cafeteria to eat what was ready.

"Gala!"

The roar of Gyarados echoed throughout the entire lake. Its enormous blue form moved faster than ever before, startling the flocks of birds passing overhead, who then fled in panic.

Previously, Gyarados's speed might not have been able to keep up, but after the Dragon Dance buff, things are different.

"And who said that guy only upgraded one stage?"

Gyarados probably had its eye on these flying creatures who didn't pay its toll for a long time. It must have strengthened itself several times before, and then specifically targeted two lucky ones to establish its authority.

"Waaah."

Chenglong glanced sideways at Zhu Suihan.

Look at what you've taught them!

"That's because Gyarados is very strong, right?"

"Milu".

Little Fairy nodded in agreement.

That's money! It can be turned into lots of delicious energy cubes!

She is currently training her control over the cream, strengthening her control by rolling the cream into balls with her hands. The next step is to try combining it with elemental energy.

It doesn't matter if you fail; the boss and the trainer will finish off the cream without wasting a single drop.

After breakfast, the two trainers, in perfect unison, abandoned their trainers and went to the lake to play with Gyarados.

Lapras can learn the basic usage of Water-type moves from Gyarados, and Sylveon can also gain a lot of useful knowledge about type control.

Putting everything else aside, Gyarados, having mastered its own ferocity and can freely control the power of its anger, is absolutely a master in terms of self-control.

Otherwise, Joy Academy wouldn't have allowed such a big guy to live in the lake.

There are quite a few students and teachers coming and going on the lake every day.

This morning's class was rather unusual, commonly known as milking a cow.

That's right, it's the Moo Moo Milk from the big milk tank.

However, Zhu Suihan felt that the course should be renamed "Milking Cows".

The full title of the course is "How to Safely Obtain Extracts from Pokémon".

Moo Moo Milk is just the most basic version; there are also versions with tree sap, venom, and oil.

Oh right, there's an even simpler way: picking tree fruits from the back of the earth turtle. All you need is your hands.

It was only after taking this course that Zhu Suihan learned that coconut juice existed in the Pokémon world.

Just as Zhu Suihan had imagined, the source was from the Exeggutor tree.

In a sense, that stuff is more like tree sap and bodily fluids, and can't really be considered coconut juice.

However, this coconut water is very valuable. After extraction and further refinement, it can become a nutritious coconut water.

Unfortunately, Exeggutor possesses a noble superpower attribute, so its cultivation cost exceeds that of Milk Tank; otherwise, it could have become another flagship product.

While this extraction method won't help Pokémon grow, at least it won't harm them.

Or rather, a large portion of the Pokémon bred within the league itself need to use these things to "repay loans" on a regular basis, which is essentially a matter of mutual consent.

This is also one of the things Joey needs to learn, since he may work for the league in the future.

Besides research and daily use, this is also a very unorthodox treatment method, usually used when a Pokémon comes into contact with something strange and the "foreign object" needs to be extracted.

The most typical example is when Pikachu absorbs too much electricity and becomes uncontrollable, it can easily cause harm to itself and its trainer, and even endanger the surrounding environment.

Not everyone is like Ash who gets shocked and nothing happens to him.

The model that Zhu Suihan randomly got this time looked very imposing; it was an old monster with its lower body coiled up and its mouth wide open.

Aside from opening their mouths wide, snakes generally coil up when they are essentially gathering energy.

Given Arbok's size and bite force, a single bite would be incredibly powerful.

Zhu Suihan's goal is to extract venom from the mouth of the monster. If the force is slightly off, the monster's wide-open mouth will close.

"It's a bit like playing with that little tooth-pressing toy."

But this is much more dangerous than that little toy.

Zhu Suihan put on a mask and tugged at his sterile gloves. Although he wasn't too afraid of being hurt by the old monster, he still had to do these things for the sake of his grades.

He was hoping that if he got good grades, the academy would take him on another fun event like the Lake of Rage.

Putting everything else aside, the feeling of knocking over a Pokémon with a single ball and then slapping down a villainous extra with a frying pan is just fantastic, and Zhu Suihan really likes it.

Zhu Suihan held a pressure plate covered with wound medicine paste in his left hand and a thin needle in his other hand, with a long tube attached to the back and a standard-sized small bottle at the end.

To put it simply, it involves inserting a thin needle into the upper palate of the Arbok's mouth, specifically into the area where venom is delivered.

Along with the model came a location identification map, and it took Zhu Suihan some effort to understand it; otherwise, he would have wanted to experience the bite force of the Arbok.

Normally, Arbok only requires cooperation; simply place the container under the opponent's teeth and let the venom slowly accumulate.

However, the academy emphasizes perfection, and as a Pokémon doctor, one needs to consider all kinds of situations.

After all, it's not the doctor's turn to handle the obedient old man who's collecting venom.

Zhu Suihan controlled the force, and the fine needle gently pierced the upper palate of the monster, succeeding on the first try.

Watching the bright purple liquid flow out, Zhu Suihan put away the fine needle when the container was almost full. The pressure plate on his left hand seamlessly connected, and he pressed the wound medicine paste against the needle hole for three to five minutes.

If it's a real Arbok, you can also add "feeding energy cubes" to this step, and pat the other person's head and say a few encouraging words like "You're great".
