Chapter 527 Green
The three of them had just sat down on the sofa when they heard a series of footsteps. Then, a yellow figure jumped out from a corner and let out a cry of surprise.

"Pika pika!"

Luo Mu subconsciously caught the Pikachu that was flying towards him.

Compared to Professor Oak and Tsubasa who he often sees recently, Pikachu will naturally prefer him more.

But Pikachu obviously knew how to strike a balance, and he did not show favoritism. He raised his little paw and greeted Professor Oak and Xiao Jian again.

"It's been a while, Pikachu."

Luo Mu rubbed Pikachu's chubby cheeks and smiled.

If anyone else rubbed his face like this, like Xiaozhi, Pikachu would definitely give him a 100,000 volt attack without hesitation.

But Luo Mu is another matter.

Looking at the bottle that Luo Mu took out from the backpack, Pikachu's eyes lit up and stared at the red liquid in the bottle without blinking.

"It just so happens that the farm has some tomatoes from the last harvest of winter, so we made some tomato sauce from them. Come and try it and see if it suits your taste."

As Luo Mu spoke, his hands kept moving. He pinched Pikachu's electric capsule again, feeling the rebound feeling that exceeded that of a pillow.

"Qiu~~"

At this time, Pikachu only had ketchup in his eyes. He held the bottle with a fascinated look on his face, opened the lid, squeezed out a little ketchup, and immediately licked it away with his pink tongue.

The unique sweet and sour flavor of ketchup exploded in Pikachu's mouth, and he felt as if he was falling into the clouds, and all his worries disappeared.

Touch it, touch it, as long as there is ketchup, you can touch it as you like!

Pikachu lay in Luo Mu's arms in a helpless state, almost softening into a puddle of water, allowing Luo Mu to rub him.

Seeing Luo Mu's actions, Xiao Jian asked curiously, "Is Pikachu rare in the Padiya region?"

Even though Xiaojian, as a Pokémon observer, often sketches wild Pokémon, he rarely sketches Pokémon like Pikachu.

First, this Pokémon is very common in the Kanto region, and there are so many of them that they look like stray dogs on the roadside.

Second, because Pikachu is so common, when they were learning to paint, the teacher liked to take them to a Pikachu gathering place and let them draw.

Drawing Pikachu is the most basic of the basics, and I’m already tired of it.

Seeing how much Luo Mu cherishes Pikachu, Xiao Jian is very curious.

Is Pikachu a rare species in the Padya region?

Facing Xiao Jian's question, Luo Mu responded without thinking: "That's not the case. The Pikachu in the Padia region is the same as the Pikachu in the Kanto region."

“There are so many of them that they look like stray dogs on the side of the road.”

The two said in unison.

Pikachu licking ketchup beautifully: "."

How rude of you!
But for the sake of ketchup, forget it~

Luo Mu still did not directly answer Xiao Jian's question, but he knew very clearly in his mind why he was rubbing Pikachu's cheeks so frantically.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Pikachu is still chubby and looks easy to rub.

Perhaps it was because when they were on a ship heading to the Hoenn region, because it was almost across half the planet, the long sea voyage caused Pikachu to lose weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was no longer as chubby as before.

That's right.

Before Xiaozhi sets out on his journey, this may be the last time that Luo Mu touches the chubby Pikachu.

How can you not get the full return in one go?
At this time, Xiaozhi also quickly finished washing up and walked over in slippers.

Seeing the interaction between Luo Mu and Pikachu, he felt a little jealous, "Pikachu has never been so close to me before!"

Pikachu didn't want to pay attention to his stupid trainer who was sleeping in, and continued to lick the ketchup until Hanako appeared in front of him and snatched it away. Then he suddenly raised his head and looked at Hanako pitifully, trying to get the ketchup back with his eyes.

But for Hanako, Pikachu is also her "child". As a parent, she has to be careful not to let Pikachu get sick due to unhealthy habits.

There is nothing wrong with liking ketchup, but eating ketchup as a staple food is a big problem.

For this reason, Hanako had to put on a serious expression, and after repeated instructions, she reluctantly agreed to pour ketchup on Pikachu's food.

Soon after Hanako turned and walked into the kitchen again, the table was filled with various steaming dishes.

There are six chairs in total, and on one of them is the baby seat that Satoshi used when he was a child. That is the seat that Hanako prepared for Pikachu.

There was no formality and no awkwardness. After Hanako said a few words, lunch began with Xiaozhi's "I'm starting".

Luo Mu tried a lot of each dish. Maybe the taste was not as delicate and harmonious as what Shimi made that night, but there was indeed a strange taste called "the taste of mother" in the dishes.

After a hearty meal, everyone divided the work to wash the dishes, then said goodbye to Hanako and went back to the Oak Research Institute together.

However, this time they went directly to the backyard of the Oak Research Institute.

"Let the Pokémon out!"

As soon as they stepped on the grass, Professor Oak urged impatiently.

God knows how excited Professor Oak was when he received the contact from Luo Mu, who said that he was coming to visit with two Pokémon that only existed in the past.

I can actually see a living extinct Pokémon!

Although Dr. Oak usually gives the impression of being an approachable old man to people around him, he has a passion that is unmatched by anyone in the professional field he loves.

Now, he can hardly suppress his desire for research.

If Luo Mu didn't know that Professor Oak was not a Frankenstein, he would have been a little scared of his appearance.

"Come out, Heiyue Xiong and Hunhau."

Nodding slightly, Luo Mu took out the advanced ball and the red and white ball and released the two Pokémon.

Professor Oak, the speedster, already knew this, so his first reaction was to go see the harpy first.

Having just come out of the high-level ball, He Yuexiong yawned, obviously feeling a little sleepy.

"Wow, you look very sleepy. I heard that it's snowing heavily in the Padiya region. Are you planning to hibernate?"

Based on the mental state and physical reaction of the Heiyue Bear, Professor Oak immediately made a judgment.

At the same time, he stared at the He Yue Bear with burning eyes, looking its body up and down. With that naked look, the He Yue Bear almost thought that all the hair on its body had been shaved off, and it shuddered subconsciously.

Then Professor Oak went even further. He moved to the side of the black moon bear as if he had teleported, and tried to touch its muscles.

He Yuexiong looked at Luo Mu for help. Didn’t they agree to go on a spontaneous trip? Who is this perverted old man?

Fearing that He Yuexiong would slap Professor Oak, Luo Mu quickly comforted him, "He is Professor Oak, we just need to cooperate with him to do a physical examination."

"Huh?"

He Yuexiong stared with his bear eyes, with doubt in his voice.

seriously?
Do you swear not to lie to the bear? "Really, really, I won't lie to you."

Patting the Moon Bear's shoulder covered with solid mud, Luo Mu promised.

“Roar~”

The half-believing and half-doubting He Yuexiong finally relaxed and believed Luo Mu for once.

the other side.

As soon as he saw Arcanine appear, Xiaozhi excitedly shouted: "Long time no see, Arcanine!"

As he said this, Xiaozhi opened his arms and tried to hug it.

Xiao Jian was stunned for a few seconds, then woke up as if from a dream. He quickly released a flying mantis that looked a little old, and asked it to go to the room and get his notebook and pen.

The deceptively majestic appearance of Windy Dog had obviously conquered him, and he couldn't wait to try to record Windy Dog's heroic appearance through sketching.

After giving Hulk a general physical examination, Professor Oak moved on to Arcanine, and finally exclaimed in amazement: "Whether it is the regional form of Arcanine that existed in the past, or the evolved form of Hulk, each one will be a major discovery that will shock the research community!"

Because Luo Mu had communicated with Professor Oak before coming, and after seeing Arcanine through Qishu's live broadcast, Professor Oak has been investigating Arcanine's background.

Finally, he got a clue through an old friend of his, Dr. Yamanashi in the Sinnoh region.

For example, there were records of the existence of related Pokémon in the Sinnoh region, which was called Xicui a hundred years ago.

It's just that those Pokémon have become extinct for various reasons.

According to Luo Mu, it seems that the Black Moon Bear is also a Pokémon that once lived in the Xicui Land.

Just being able to see the two Pokémon with his own eyes completely unleashed Professor Oak's research spirit.

He directly proposed: "Next, we need to conduct a detailed physical examination in the institute. Only after we have accurate and rigorous data can we meet the conditions for public disclosure."

Luo Mu naturally understood this principle. He knew nothing about this kind of thing and didn't want to waste his brain cells to learn it from scratch. Studying medicine with Miss Joy Lin in Pingdie Town alone had already taken up a lot of his time.

After whispering a few more words to Ursa Major and Arcanine, he watched the two Pokémon walk into the research institute with Professor Oak and Xiaojian, who was forced to stop drawing as his assistant.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, with only Luo Mu, Xiaozhi and Pikachu left.

The air around them was somewhat quiet. Xiaozhi pondered for a moment, then simply said, "Master, I successfully won the Silver Tournament!"

"Pika pika!"

The Pikachu on Xiaozhi's shoulder also held his head high, his face full of pride.

"Yes, I know. You already told me that on the phone."

Luo Mu nodded helplessly, reminding Xiaozhi of the fact that he had already mentioned this matter.

".Oh, it seems that's the case."

Xiaozhi scratched his head in a daze, and his thoughts changed again. He simply invited Luo Mu to stroll around the backyard of Damu.

"Everyone is now living in the backyard, except Charizard and Squirtle. Charizard said he wants to dominate Charizard Valley and plans to go back in a few days."

"Crumpet Squirtle couldn't leave his friends behind, so he's still working in the fire department, but he comes back every week during his break."

It seemed that he really regarded Luo Mu as his master, and Xiaozhi's strong desire to share burst out in one breath.

Luo Mu didn't just give him a perfunctory response and listened carefully.

In this way, Xiaozhi took Luo Mu for a stroll in the backyard of Damu while talking.

Perhaps out of curiosity, Luo Mu asked indirectly whether Xiaozhi had a brother, or whether Xiaomao had a brother.

Xiaozhi gave two answers.

He doesn't have a brother, but Xiao Mao does have a brother.

Xiaozhi looked around as if he was guilty, and confirmed that no one was eavesdropping nearby, then he whispered, "Xiao Mao has a brother, but we rarely see him."

"Brother Green is a very powerful trainer. Xiao Mao once boasted to me that Brother Green won the title of champion of the Kanto League!"

When saying this, there was obvious gritted teeth in Xiaozhi's voice, as if he had really been shown off by Xiaomao.

But then, his voice became vaguely gloating.

"However, it seems that Green Brother was snatched away the title of champion by another mysterious trainer who is also from Pallet Town five minutes after he won it!"

"It's just that I don't know where that person is now, and I don't know what Big Brother Qinglv, who occasionally shows up, is busy with. I haven't seen him for almost two or three years."

Luo Mu: “.”

Is there really a five-minute champion?

For a moment, Luo Mu didn't know how to complain.

Based on his own experience and Xiaozhi's gossip, he came to a conclusion after a comprehensive analysis.

At present, it seems that there are indeed two people, Red and Green, in Pallet Town, and they have successfully won the league championship one after another.

Before, when he was in the Johto area, Luo Mu helped Chihong at Baiyin Mountain, who was almost killed due to food shortage, so he thought that Qinglu should also exist.

But for some reason, there are very few records about the two people in the Kanto Alliance. It may also be that Luo Mu does not have sufficient browsing permissions as a visitor.

Now that he has gotten the accurate answer from Xiaozhi, Luo Mu can finally put his mind at ease.

Luo Mu didn't expect this.

In the backyard of Oak, this was the first Pokémon of Satoshi that I saw.

It was a huge bird Pokémon.

It has brown primary feathers, cream under the belly and wingspan, red tail feathers, and a longer crest that is red and yellow.

The vaguely visible sharp claws with three pink toes firmly grasped the branch of the tree, the wide wingspan was folded, and the extremely sharp eyes were cast downward.

It has a very strong aura. If it were in the wild, it would probably be the leader of a tribe.

But when it saw Xiaozhi, the majesty in Pidgeot's eyes turned into kindness. It jumped directly down from the tree and landed steadily in front of Xiaozhi and Luo Mu.

Spreading its wide wingspan, the eagle's sharp beak lets out a loud cry.

"Better than that!"

"Pidot, why are you here?"

Xiaozhi hugged Pidgeot's head, which was rubbing against him intimately, and asked with a smile on his face.

Pidgeot explained with a lot of gestures, but Luo Mu didn't really understand how Xiaozhi understood Pidgeot's meaning.

Xiaozhi suddenly realized and said, "You just went to visit your fellow tribesmen in the forest, so you just came back."
