: A Large Number of Cards Acquired

Chapter 14: A Large Number of Cards Acquired

Mingyou spent some time in the kitchen teaching Pengpeng how to make sugar-coated tomatoes. Of course, it's the most fulfilling thing to make something you like to eat yourself.

Ponpo had never done any of these things before, but under Mingyou's professional instruction, she still managed to complete her first dish in her hundreds of years of life.

Although I put in a bit too much sugar...

After tasting it, Mingyou smiled and encouraged, "It's a bit sweet, but it's already great!"

"Mmm~"

Ponpo nodded happily, and then tasted it herself. She liked sweets, and too much sugar didn't affect her much.

"I like sweets..."

Mingyou stood aside and observed quietly. Eating tomatoes with sugar every day wasn't a good idea. She could make some other sweets to change things up.

Poor Ponpo, she probably hasn't had a decent meal in Beishang Township, having to stay there every day...

He plans to return to Padiyah before the end of summer to tidy up his home, sell the house his parents left him, and move directly to the northern countryside where he will live from now on.

If possible, he would like to take Ponpo to Niangguang City to explore and see the sights.

Of course, he only suddenly came up with this plan. It's only early summer, there's still a long way to go, and Pengpeng might not even agree to leave Beishang Township with him...

Lunch ended shortly afterward.

Mingyou took Ponpon around the manor, introducing it to the things there and the Pokémon.

Although there wasn't much to do at the manor, Ponpo still played happily until evening and left after having dinner. It seemed that as long as it could be with Mingyou, it would be very happy.

Watching Pengpeng leave, Mingyou stood in front of the villa and sighed softly, "Poor child... If only I had the ability to help you."

As he spoke, he walked to the front of the mandarin orange tree. After using the quick-acting fertilizer, there was still more than half a month before the fruit ripened. He would use it again after a while, and then it would be ready to be harvested.

"The hope of the whole village..."

Mingyou desperately needs Guipenggan to earn his first pot of gold so that he can feel completely at ease and determine his next path.

Although he's always smiling, he just doesn't want to show his stress...

After standing in front of the tangerine tree for a while, he turned around, intending to go back to his room to rest.

But just then, a commotion suddenly came from behind. He turned around instinctively and was slightly taken aback. He saw the trumpet buds that he had rescued during the day, along with the dumbbell flower.

And it wasn't just them; fruit-eating worms and acorns also came over. Looking at everyone gathered together, he couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't you going to rest so late?"

"Knock it down~"

The speechless flowers jumped to the front; they had come to express their gratitude for what had happened during the day.

During the day, Naruto saved Bellsprouts and had Snorlax stop Bellsprout from going out of control and causing further damage to the surrounding area.

They even planted a tree that could make them stronger... so they were all quite grateful.

Apart from the Munchlax, everything else seems to be fine. Mingyou did indeed do it, although it was initially just an accident caused by a lack of precautions...

"So if I really have to say something, I should be the one apologizing to you..."

Mingyou said with a hint of apology, but they didn't care about that. Although the old man who had taken them in and cared for them was no longer there, someone who would carry on his ideals had appeared!

Just then, many blue particles emanated from the Pokémon and the others, like fireflies that could illuminate the night sky, gathering in mid-air, making one feel as if they were in a dream, and finally transforming into more than a dozen cards with their illustrations, which rotated.

"So many..."

Mingyou was stunned when she saw these cards.

He wouldn't have dared to imagine such a scenario before, and he was even worried about not being able to get the cards, but now he has obtained so many at once.

After a brief moment of surprise, he reached out and grabbed all the cards in his hand, examining the information on each one with anticipation and gratitude...

[Trunk Sprout (lv2): After using on a bean sprout seed, the type changes to trumpet bean sprout seed, and there is a chance to learn the move (Vine Whip, Root, Trouble Seed)]

[Bellflower (lv2): After using on a bean sprout seed, the type changes to trumpet bean sprout seed, and there is a chance to learn the following moves (Vine Whip, Root, Trouble Seed, Dissolve, Stomach Acid, Grass Slide)]

"Directly to level 2? I see..."

Only then did he realize that after a Pokémon evolves normally, it will most likely not change the type of mutant crop, but it will enhance the crop's additional effects.

Let's look at the others...

[Fruit-Eating Bug (lv1): When used on an apple tree, increases the yield of Sweet Apples, Tart Apples, and Honey Apples, and has a chance to teach the user the following moves (Scare, Retreat, Energy Ball, Grass Pledge)]

[Acorn (lv1): When used on an oak tree, it may produce a Cunning Acorn, and has a chance to learn the move (Leech Seed, Trouble Seed, Knock Off)]

A total of 19 new cards: 1 Silly Flower, 3 Trumpet Buds, 5 Acorns, and 10 Fruit-Eating Worms.

Mingyou understood the significance of these cards very well; they not only won the favor of these Pokémon, but also earned their recognition.

He was deeply moved. Although he had a lot to say, in the end... all his words came down to one sentence. He smiled and said, "Then I hope everyone will take good care of me in the future."

"Knock it down~"

The speechless flowers all nodded happily.

Hearing the noise outside, the little Snorlax, who was sleeping on the sofa, rolled over and jumped out, thinking that they were eating a midnight snack without calling it.

Feeling the warm atmosphere, Mingyou suddenly felt all the fatigue of the day disappear. An idea popped into her head, and she said, "Let's grab a late-night snack, everyone!"

"Gambit~"

Sure enough, there was a late-night snack!

Snorlax led the cheers, and the others quickly joined in. Of course, they were happy that someone had prepared food so late at night.

Watching them run into the living room one by one, Mingyou stood outside with her hands on her hips, smiling helplessly: "It feels a bit unfair to have a midnight snack right after Pengpeng left... I'll call it next time. Once the manor's business is officially up and running, we'll have a banquet together!"

With so many Grass-type Pokémon taking care of it, it might not even take half a month; maybe this weekend... the Mandarin Orange will bear fruit!

This was exactly what Mingyou was looking forward to. He looked at everyone playing around in the living room, smiled, and murmured, "Thank you all..."

"Gambit!"

Hurry up!

"Here they come, here they come. Don't rush, let's use all the remaining ingredients today, and I'll go buy more tomorrow."

Mingyou walked into the living room with a smile. Suddenly, an idea popped into her head, so she took out her Rotom phone and took pictures of everyone in the living room.

I'd completely forgotten about something like this! Such a beautiful memory should definitely be written down, so that one day in the future I can look back on it again...
