Chapter 571 Juice Showdown

same.

This word may not seem prominent at first glance, but when used in certain places, it can have quite bad consequences.

You smell so good, just like my ex-girlfriend.

Great, our exam scores are the same again this time!

Mewtwo and Arceus are equally strong, fifty-fifty!

It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the sources of the dispute.

At this moment, the entire restaurant was shrouded in an inexplicable low pressure.

Even the Roentgen Cat and Swampert couldn't help but stop their feasting and looked at the Chimp with some doubt as he lowered his head with most of his face hidden in the shadow created by the overhead light.

Indeed, they are much stronger than Solitaire, and Swampert even defeated Solitaire head-on half a year ago.

But this uncertainty has nothing to do with strength, but rather the majesty that Zhihuixing has accumulated over time as a housekeeper who takes care of everyone's daily life, which makes them intimidated by this momentum.

If you offend Zhihuixing, you won’t go hungry in the next few days, but you will definitely not eat well.

No one wants to mess with the person who controls three meals a day at home.

Besides, they had never seen Zhihuixing like this before.

Tapu Fin-Fin put down the paper cup and looked around, seeming to find it very strange.

This juice tastes delicious. What's going on here?
Without Zhi Huixing's translation, Luo Mu used his intuition and his own keen observation. He set his eyes on the pear juice in front of him and deduced the answer by reversing the clues.

It’s probably related to this glass of juice.

Luo Mu, who originally thought that Zhi Huixing had probably forgotten about this matter, turned pale. He wanted to glare at Ergui Yan for bringing up something irrelevant, but looking at its confused expression he couldn't bear to do it, so he could only try to change the subject.

"By the way, what did everyone do in the forest today? Did you make any new friends? Can you tell me about it? I'm very curious."

Perhaps because of nervousness, Luo Mu's tone of voice was a little stiff.

Fortunately, Lingyouma, who was silently gnawing on the Bonnie radish nearby, stood up at this moment.

"Spirit—hiss."

With a snort, Lingyouma looked at Eruption and the Eevee sisters helplessly, and told them about his "thrilling" adventures throughout the day.

After all, most of the time it watches silently in the shadows.

Luo Mu also took the opportunity to look at Zhi Huixing for help.

The low pressure around Zhi Huixing paused slightly, and he showed a standard business smile that made Luo Mu feel horrified no matter how he looked at it, and started translating simultaneously.

The time came to this morning.

Shortly after setting out into the forest, the Eruptions encountered an injured gopher in a bush.

But the appearance of the gopher seemed a little different from the gophers they knew, who were brought by the blacksmith to join the farm "voluntarily".

But Uruk-O and the Eevee sisters didn't care about this and went forward eagerly to help Diglett.

Although neither Eruption nor sister Eevee have the ability to heal injuries, fortunately, sister Eevee, who is proficient in support and interference, recently mastered a move called "Wish" among the inherited egg moves.

Under the effect of the Prayer move, Diglett recovered some of his strength, but his condition was still not very good.

Fortunately, Diglett regained some consciousness under the effect of the "Prayer" move, and told the Eruption, who had originally planned to take Diglett back the same way, that there was a sage's residence in this forest and they could take themselves to the sage for help.

Perhaps because they were curious about the sage, the Ergui and the others gave up the plan of going back to ask Zhihuixing for help, and under the guidance of the mole, they set out on the journey to find the sage's residence.

According to Diglett, the sage usually lives on the neighboring Melemele Island, and only occasionally comes to Akara Island to stay for a few days.

Calculating the time, today should be the day when the sage moves in.

on the road.

Perhaps out of confusion, the Eevee sisters curiously asked Diglett why he was injured so badly, but Diglett's answer made the three Pokémon indignant.

Gophers originally lived at the foot of a nearby mountain called Vera Volcano, digging gopher tunnels with many of their kind and living happily in harmony and love.

But things never go as planned. One day, a group of humans arrived there, and brought a huge mechanical monster, trying to dig up the mole tunnels they depended on for survival, saying that it would affect the foundation of the building or something.

The gophers were naturally unwilling to be suddenly driven out of their homes, and tried to prevent the humans from continuing to work.

But they were ultimately defeated by an earthquake caused by an electric monster sent by that man that was extremely tall for the moles.

For the hamsters who live and work in peace and contentment, even if there are factors of attribute restraint, the Electric Beast is not an opponent they can defeat, not to mention the monster (excavator) that is even bigger than the Electric Beast.

In desperation, the gophers could only flee in all directions, and some of them were caught by the human, who said he would throw them onto a remote island.

The mole himself, despite his injuries, fell into the bushes where the Eruption and the others had first discovered him.

Even though the Evil Spirits were angry at the behavior of those humans, they also understood that the top priority now was to heal the gophers.

Under the guidance of the gopher, they soon found the wooden house built in the forest.

Fortunately, the owner of the wooden cabin, the sage of the forest, was indeed staying in the wooden cabin as the mole said, and the wooden cabin was also in a "open to the public" state with the door open.

Uruk-O carried the Diglett, who had left the soil and exposed his entire body, and entered the room with the Eevee sisters.

But what they didn't expect was that the owner of the wooden house, the sage of the forest turned out to be - the wise ape!

However, the Zhihuixing, whose eyes also gleamed with wisdom, was obviously not the butler they knew.

Although a little confused, the three Pokémon, worried about Diglett's injury, immediately asked Chiron for help.

Zhi Huixing was a little distressed by this.

Because it only came to the cabin on Akala Island temporarily today and didn't plan to stay long, it only prepared some business materials for wild Pokémon.

It might have to go out again to collect the herbs to treat the gophers, which would take a lot of time.

At this moment, Zhi Huixing seemed to remember something and cast his gaze towards the pink figure who had just come over and was silently tasting the juice.

The guardian deity of Akala Island, Kapu Tete.

Knowing Kapu Tete's character well, Zhihui Xing thought for a moment and asked Kapu Tete to use his healing scale powder to heal the mole on the condition that he waived the cost of the glass of juice.

It just so happened that the funds that I had snatched from my overlord Pokémon today in order to drink juice, no, the funds that they had to pay, that is, the general Z-pure crystals, were inexplicably given away.

Tapu Dede, who originally planned to get something for free by relying on his status as the guardian god of the island, agreed to Zhihuixing's request without much hesitation.

Although majesty is not important to it sometimes, since it can be maintained, why not do it?

With the treatment of the scale powder of Tapu Butterfly, who was in a good mood and happy to get it for free, the hamster quickly recovered from his injuries.

After tasting the delicious drink, Kapu Diede also left the cabin.

At this time, Zhihuixing seemed to see through their intentions, and stopped the Evil Spirits who were in a hurry to take the mole to find a place, and treated them each to a cup of his best drink -

It is a drink made from freshly squeezed phoenix fruit juice, mixed with a little unknown tree juice to enhance the aroma and flavor, and topped off with Three Bees honey.

After drinking the drink in the smile of Zhihuixing, the three Pokémon led Diglett and rushed to the foot of the Wera Volcano. They rescued many injured Diglett along the way and finally confronted the bad guys who destroyed the Diglett's home. The electric beast that swept the Diglett was beaten to a pulp by the masked Eruption's thorn vine stick under the tacit interference of the Eevee sisters.

But that group of people became even more aggressive, trying to use "human wave tactics" and a bunch of machines for expelling Pokémon to give Uruk-chan and his gang a hard time.

At the critical moment, Ponyta, who was asked by Luo Mu to stay in the shadow and watch the three Pokémon, naturally chose to show up. It was naturally full of strength as it was already unhappy with these guys.

A shadow ball penetrated several machines in succession, causing explosions and blowing these guys directly into the sky.

At this time, the image of Lingyouma, the tall, handsome and elegant horse under the throne of the Bud Crown King, was deeply engraved in the hearts of the moles and became their crazy belief.

If the Queen of Akara Island had not heard the loud noise and rushed over, her own abnormal spiritual power would have alarmed the little god Kapu Dedede.

At least Phantom Flame has to practice the characteristics of a ghost-type Pokémon, which has caused these guys to be bedridden for some time.

Tapu Diedie's attitude towards Lingyouma can't be said to be too bad, but it's not good either.

After all, the strange legendary elf like Lingyouma is equivalent to invading its territory.

Lingyouma had no intention of conflicting with this little god from an island in a remote area compared to the Crown Snow Plain and the Galar region.

With the mediation of the island queen, both sides took a step back.

Tapu Chou Chou left an order forbidding these humans to try to develop the homes of wild Pokémon, and the island queen personally escorted these people to the island's police station to surrender.

Because of the great battle, the Evil Spirits all returned covered in dust and dirt.

Because Lingyouma almost got into a fight with Tapu Diedie, his body was inevitably covered in a lot of dust and dirt.

After listening to Lingyouma's vivid and seemingly ulterior motive.

Luo Mu's mouth twitched slightly and he didn't know where to start complaining.

True.

What they did was a great deed of "helping those in need when seeing injustice".

But in the end, this landmine that had been buried for a long time was detonated at an angle that he had never expected.

How outrageous!

As for the group of humans who oppressed the indigenous people such as the moles and tried to build houses, considering the characteristics of the electric beast, Luo Mu could vaguely guess which hanged man was doing such a bad thing.

After all, they had met not long ago and had some heartfelt words with each other -

Although it is another parallel world.

So is the wise ape of the forest sage.

Luo Mu originally thought that as long as he lived on Akala Island and rarely took Zhi Huixing to Melemele Island, nothing would go wrong.

But he never expected that the wise monkey would move on its own!!!
No, maybe this was also his own negligence.

Shui Lian and Mao's home is still on Akala Island, not the Melemele Island in the animation.

If there is any connection with the plot, you can figure it out with a little thought.

That Pokémon should live in the forest near Haole City on Melemele Island. It has a trading partnership with Tapu Kuma, and the island god is its customer. How could Chimp, who runs a forest Pokémon cafe, not open other branches?
There is always a loophole in a perfect plan.

Fortunately, Lingyouma's narration diluted the depressing atmosphere a little. Under Luo Mu's praise, Eruption and Eevee sisters raised their heads proudly, and Zhihuixing did not have any extra reaction throughout the whole process.

But Luo Mu knew that this was just a little calm before the storm.

The next morning.

Luo Mu was awakened by the faint sound of a knife rubbing against a whetstone coming from downstairs.

He swallowed, covered the Eevee sisters and Ursa Major with a thin blanket, took big steps, and being careful not to step on the sleeping Roentgen cats, Luo Mu walked straight downstairs in his pajamas.

as predicted.

In the kitchen, Zhi Huixing was quietly maintaining the kitchen utensils.

Its back silently exudes an indescribable aura.

Even though it is clear that Zhi Huixing is quite rational and will not do anything out of line.

But Luo Mu was still more or less shocked by the fact that Zhi Huixing's momentum had not diminished much throughout the night, and his heart was pounding with fear.

Oh!
Damn this desire to win against the same kind!

Just like the hostile genes ingrained in the bones of the Spoon Snake and the Mongoose Slash, even the Smart Ape cannot ignore this impulse.

It would have been fine if they hadn't met each other, but last night, Erguiyan was not aware of it and let the cat out of the bag.

"Let me help."

After taking a deep breath, Luo Mu walked into the kitchen.

Zhi Huixing raised his head and looked at him, nodded slightly, and made some space for Luo Mu.

The two of them prepared today's breakfast in silence.

Gladion, who was returning from a morning run with Moon Eevee and Lycanroc, noticed the strange atmosphere in the kitchen and even his footsteps subconsciously became a lot lighter.

When breakfast was almost ready, Zhi Huixing finally spoke.

Its calm voice appeared directly in Luo Mu's mind through telepathy.

"Master, before we go for the Pokémon chef interview this afternoon, let's set off for Melemele Island in the morning."

coming!

Luo Mu straightened his back subconsciously, and then nodded stutteringly.

"Okay, okay. Anyway, that's the only thing we need to deal with today."

After breakfast.

Zhi Huixing quietly packed up his "arsenal" and the most important "ingredients".

Luo Mu was led out of the villa by a soul-calling cry.

Looking at Tapu Hikaru in front of him, his expression excited and his face full of "I want to be beaten up again" written all over it.

With the dark mentality of "I'd rather die than let my friend die", Luo Mu, who was laughing so hard that Kapu Mingming's hair stood on end, said, "Let's put aside the battle this morning and do something more interesting."

"Puka?"

Tapu Mingming tilted his head, not quite understanding what Luo Mu meant.

Is there anything more interesting than fighting?

"Are you interested in a juice showdown?"

Luo Mu pointed at Zhi Huixing who was ready behind him, and planned to drag the island guardian into the upcoming horrific Shura field without any psychological pressure.
