Chapter 588 Flower of Gracidia

October 798, 12 of the Alliance Calendar, winter.

Since the vacation in Alola ended not long ago, Luo Mu's life has returned to normal.

In the winter when there is no need to farm, his daily life is to accompany Pokémon and play with them.

He also takes time out to go to Grape Academy three times a week to develop teaching plans based on the conditions of Papa and the others. Occasionally, he receives messages from the Hoenn region and answers questions from students who are traveling.

Most of the time in the afternoon, Luo Mu, once a teacher, would turn back into a student, accepting the strict teaching of Miss Joy from Pingdie Town, who came from a medical family.

Even though the farm not only has the Wise Orion who is very familiar with medicinal herbs, there is also the legendary elf like the Bud Crown who can cure dying people with a wave of his hands, the Flower Therapy Huanhuan who serves as a logistics doctor, and the Almost Doll who has just arrived at the farm and is integrating into the farm atmosphere at a very fast speed.

With this lineup that can be called a "medical team", he could have avoided learning this knowledge.

But Luo Mu always felt that only by learning knowledge in his mind could he make a brilliant achievement at the critical moment or the necessary moment.

Even if it may not be used temporarily, it will be retained as a "skill" that you have mastered.

Well, to put it simply, as a farmer, Luo Mu feels that it is always a good idea to learn more.

Apart from occasionally bringing over some local specialties from the farm, it was almost free for him to learn Joey's medical skills which outsiders had no way to learn. It was such a great profit!

I heard that Aoki returned from Alola a few days ago and returned to his exciting and endless work.

Luo Mu felt that the Aoki he saw those days was probably a limited-time UP in the limited card pool.

After watching it once, it’s hard to come back.

"I am leaving."

After saying hello to Zhihuixing and the Leiguan King who was holding Cosmogu, Luo Mu looked at the white snow outside the door, exhaled a breath of hot air, and stepped directly on the snow.

Although carrying the burning bug was warm enough, Luo Mu still didn't want too much cold wind to blow on his neck, so he chose to wear a scarf.

Behind him, the leader of the line-up soldiers came out with his five followers, each of them holding or carrying a lot of things in their hands or on their heads.

Those were farm specialties prepared by Luo Mu and some souvenirs brought back from the Alola region. He planned to go out to visit two people today.

The soldiers in formation were impeccable helpers due to their numerical advantage and discipline.

There was a white pickup truck parked outside the new house, which Luo Mu borrowed from the Jones Ranch next door.

After all, if we just walk to where we want to go today, we don’t know how long it will take to get there.

Although letting Dragonite fly is the best option, the weather has been so cold recently, and Luo Mu doesn't want to force Dragonite to fly back and forth in weather that it doesn't like.

It doesn't matter for Moltres, but neither Dragonite nor Moltres has the ability to carry large amounts of cargo and fly long distances.

After thinking about it, Luo Mu simply went to the Jones Ranch next door to borrow a car.

Although the carrying capacity was limited, Luo Mu was not engaged in wholesale. After loading the goods, he stepped on the accelerator and drove out in a flash.

I have to say that sometimes having a car is quite convenient. Luo Mu is considering picking up a car himself in a few days.

It’s not like I don’t have money.

Luo Mu called the soldiers in formation and put a layer of anti-skid chains on the tires according to the instructions of the Jones couple to avoid car accidents due to brake failure when passing through icy and snowy roads.

The Chinese New Year is just one month away, and this kind of thing cannot happen.

After everything was prepared and the gifts he brought were covered with snow-proof cloth, Luo Mu was ready to set off.

But before he could start the engine, a head with a pointed white hat popped out of the car window.

“Crack!”

As if wanting to give Luo Mu a surprise or a fright, the Snow Hat Monster moved very quickly and slipped over as soon as Luo Mu got into the car.

It’s a pity that Luo Mu had already seen its sneaky figure in the rearview mirror. Although he was not scared at all, he still cooperated and acted as if he was scared.

Instead, the burning insect's body trembled violently, and the cricket pupa moved a few times, obviously being frightened.

Luo Mu noticed that the Snow Hat Monster seemed to want to play with him. He noticed the desire in its eyes and smiled, and asked, "I'm going out. Do you want to come with me?"

“Ka-po!?”

The Xueli monster's eyes lit up, and he used his hands and feet to climb into the passenger seat.

It was very curious about this big white thing just now. Although its parents told it not to touch it, after seeing Luo Mu actually sitting on it by himself, the Snow Hat Monster still came over bravely.

“Wear your seatbelts.”

Luo Mu opened his mouth to remind him and then turned the car key.

Accompanied by the ignition sound that sounded like the roar of a wild beast and the excited expression of the Snow Hat Monster, Luo Mu stepped on the accelerator, and the tires tied with anti-skid chains began to turn under the drive of the engine with a rattling sound of metal shaking.

The pickup truck loaded with cargo slowly drove out of the farm gate.

The Snow Hat Monster looked at the scenery passing by quickly and became instantly excited.

The burning insect also opened its bright blue eyes and looked at the scenery outside curiously, with a hint of desire in its eyes.

Luo Mu said that after he evolved, he would be able to fly freely in the sky and enjoy the breeze on his face.

Luo Mu's destination for this trip was Ziqin Town, which was the town with the largest market in Padia.

But he was not going to the market to buy goods, but to visit a family who had just moved to Padya.

That's right, it was when he met Aoki in the Alola region that he realized that within these two days, Mr. Xue Zhong and Ms. Shu Zi would move to Ziqin Town under Ye Ci's arrangement.

He even called Ye Ci last night to ask about the exact time.

Calculating the time, the old couple has already packed their moving items and is getting familiar with the environment of Ziqin Town.

After all, it was he who proposed the suggestion that led Wuli and Danyu to persuade the old couple to move to the unfamiliar Padya area.

Although it was also because the group of unruly people in Beishang Township were too bullying, Luo Mu believed that as a matchmaker, he still had to pay them a visit.

Luo Mu drove along the mountain road planned by the Padiya Alliance. He did not enter the city, but drove straight towards Ziqin Town.

The reason for this was, besides not wanting to take a detour, he also didn't want to be invited to have tea by Miss Junsha.

Why was Miss Junsha inviting me to have tea?

Well, because at this moment, he was driving without a license.

Of course, Luo Mu would never joke about his life. He did not have a driver's license, but that did not mean he could not drive. To be more precise, he did have a driver's license, but he obtained it in another world.

As a former office worker who worked 996, driving my boss to social events was just basic stuff.

Although the structures of the vehicles on both sides were somewhat different due to the differences in the worlds, Luo Mu quickly figured out the trick and drove fast and steadily.

Around two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Mu saw the outline of Ziqin Town.

After parking the pickup truck in a parking lot prepared for merchants who came to the Ziqin Town Market on the outskirts of the city, Luo Mu walked towards a certain building complex carrying large and small bags.

There are two-story villas arranged in an orderly manner, and each household comes with a small piece of land, which can be used to grow flowers and plants in spare time, or as a small family farm.

This is a building built by the Padia Alliance in the livable coastal town of Ziqin, to house technical personnel or as a reward for internal personnel.

Ye Ci once suggested arranging a household for himself, but Luo Mu refused.

After all, this seemingly free gift may not be truly free.

At least Luo Mu doesn't want to owe more and more and become Brother Aoki.

"083083"

According to the house number given by Ye Ci, Luo Mu quickly found the corresponding house.

The location of the house is very good, it is one of the farthest ones from the coastline, so there is enough time to evacuate even if there is a high tide or an almost impossible tsunami.

It is adjacent to the Ziqin Market, making it very convenient for shopping for groceries. Many supporting living facilities have also been built nearby. If the building was not for sale to the public, Luo Mu would have wanted to buy one and become Mr. Xue Zhong’s neighbor, and come here occasionally to live in retirement.

“Crack!”

Noticing the movement coming from the small garden outside the house, the Snow Hat Monster clung to the wooden fence and called out a few times in that direction.

Luo Mu looked over there and found that it was Ms. Shuzi, whom he had not seen for a long time, who was holding a Pikachu watering can and watering the fields leisurely.

Hearing the sound coming from outside, Ms. Shuzi looked over directly. When she saw Luo Mu, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Isn't this Luo Mu? Why are you here?"

She quickly put away the Pikachu watering can and prepared to go out to greet him.

Luo Mu quickly stopped her, picked up the bag in his hand, and said with a smile: "I heard from President Ye Ci that you have moved here, so I thought of coming to visit you."

"How can this be so embarrassing? It's obviously our turn to visit you."

Shuzi looked a little guilty. If they hadn't been busy with their new home these days, and had heard that it was snowing heavily in Pingdie Town, they would definitely have visited Luo Mu first to thank him for his help in the matchmaking.

The two children, Wuli and Danyu, couldn't understand it, but she and Xuezhong could see who was behind it?

According to the kid who had a fierce look, seemed a little tired, and had a bunch of dark circles under his eyes, the entire procedure was personally taken care of by the chairman of the Padilla Alliance!

Their family is just an ordinary mask craftsman, but they have received so much attention and care from the other party. This must be thanks to Luo Mu.

Hearing the noise outside the house, Xue Zhong, who was busy assembling wooden furniture, also stuck his head out.

When he found out that the person coming was Luo Mu, his reaction was not much different from Shuzi's.

But after all, Luo Mu had stayed in their B&B for several nights before, and the slightly unfamiliar and polite relationship was soon shortened.

"The Snow Hat Monster is like a small tree. If we give it fertile soil filled with fertilizer, will it grow faster?"

Xue Zhong held the handmade clay teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and looked at Xue Liguai's eager face.

"No I think it's best not to do that."

Luo Mu wiped the non-existent beads of sweat from his forehead.

"Incendiary Bug. I seem to have heard Ali mention it before. He said it was the original appearance of the ace of a champion he admired. He even wanted to make Incendiary Bug his first Pokémon."

"In recent phone calls, he mentioned you a lot, and even said he wanted to capture a little cat monster."

Shuzi smiled happily as he fed the burning worm, which was curled up comfortably, with small sips of the great food they brought from Beishang Township, his eyes filled with joy.

After all, they are elderly people. It would be strange if they didn't feel any kindness when they saw the Burning Bug and Snow Hat that looked like baby Pokémon.

Several people chatted for several hours in front of the coffee table, and the two old men even planned to keep Luo Mu here for dinner.

But Luo Mu still declined on the grounds that it would be getting late if he didn't go back.

But before Luo Mu left, Shuzi still brought a bunch of beautiful flowers from the house and insisted on giving them to Luo Mu.

Ziqin Town is located in a relatively warm area of ​​the Padia region. It is not covered with snow like Pingdie Town, and there is not even much snow.

But overall the climate was still cold, and Luo Mu was a little curious about where they got the flowers from.

"This is the Gracitia flower. It originated in the Sinnoh region, which is across the sea from Kitakami Township. Later, Kitakami Township also introduced some of it due to cross-sea trade."

"Its flower language means thanks, gratitude, blessing and thankfulness."

"I heard that in the Sinnoh region, people would make bouquets of these flowers and send them out on important days such as birthdays and anniversaries to express their gratitude to each other."

Shuzi said with a smile.

Luo Mu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the bouquet in his hand was the famous Gracitia flowers.

This was the first time he had seen it.

"So, just now you were——"

Luo Muchi asked doubtfully.

Shuzi nodded and looked at the fields outside the window. "What I was taking care of just now were the seeds of Gracitia. Next spring, they will sprout, grow, bloom, and produce beautiful flowers."

"I heard that if the Gracitia flower blooms beautifully, it can summon Pokémon that bring good luck!"

Luo Mu listened carefully and nodded. He thought that the Pokémon that Ms. Shuzi was referring to should be Xie Min.

The blooming Gracitia fields will attract migrating Shemi to stop and allow them to change their form and gain the ability to fly.

"And the bouquet in your hand is the one we brought from Beishang Township. Gracitia flowers are quite cold-resistant. As long as you take good care of them in the next few days, they won't wither so quickly."

Shuzi explained everything in detail, and looking at Luo Mu's hesitant expression, she seemed to have guessed what Luo Mu was thinking.

Shuzi shouted to Xuezhong, "Old man, bring us the remaining Gracitia seeds, and let Luo Mu take some back as well!"
