Chapter 203 Experience Candied Hawthorn
"Holy crap, what is this thing?"
Fangzhou was shocked; the hawthorn's effects were kicking in!
Ash's Squirtle's signature move in the anime - Spiral Water Gun!
Wow, wow! It seems my Squirtle has the makings of an emperor!
In the future, when fighting with others, the tide will directly connect to the brain, and rotation will replace thinking.
Start spinning!
Seeing this, the other Pokémon nearby all expressed that they wanted to try it too, to experience the joy of spinning.
"Don't worry, don't worry, everyone gets a share!"
Ark acted like a big brother handing out candy to kindergarten children, giving one to every Pokémon, even the Miltank sunbathing nearby.
"Everyone, have a taste! One for each of you, and see who reacts! We'll deal with the rest when more hawthorns ripen."
The Pokémon curiously took the red berries. Some tasted them cautiously, while others, like Squirtle, boldly gulped them down. Then, they all grimaced and made different faces as they were stimulated by the strong sour taste.
However, somewhat disappointingly, apart from Squirtle, the other Pokémon did not seem to show any significant changes after eating it.
Fang Zhou scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
The mushroom's head is round, and the Milk Tank's body is also round, so why didn't it trigger?
Is the probability really that much based on luck? Or is it related to the Pokémon's own type, ability, or move pool?
But the big milk tank has a rolling skill, so the effect shouldn't be missed!
Just as Fangzhou was pondering to himself, the wind fairy next to him, who had finished eating hawthorns in small bites and was squinting to savor the sour taste, suddenly raised her little hand, let out a coo, and gestured for everyone to look over.
All my teammates looked up at me.
The next moment, its furry body floated up lightly, countless green light spots came out of its mouth, and its body spun rapidly at the same time.
Da da da da da da da!
Whimsicott attacked indiscriminately in all directions like a rapidly spinning machine gun, scaring the surrounding Pokémon into fleeing and avoiding its attack range.
A rapidly spinning, flashing seed machine gun!
The wind sprite chirped merrily a few times.
Improve your skills, keep it up!
In a few days, I'll be going to have a showdown with Tank Skunk and his crew, and they'll come in handy then.
Those mere tank skunks, we'll make sure they never return!
Fangzhou was surprised that even the little Whimsicott had such an opportunity. He nodded to himself. After testing for a long time, only Squirtle and Whimsicott reacted, while the other Pokémon did not change at all.
As expected, the probability is very luck-based, even lower than the chance of not getting the wrong character when drawing cards in Genshin Impact in my previous life.
Fangzhou checked the progress bar for farming. It was only a little bit away from level five. Once all the hawthorns were harvested, it should be able to reach level five.
I don't know what kind of effect I'll get after reaching level 5.
Fangzhou weighed the small basket in his hand, which contained some remaining hawthorns.
"Come on, I'll take you to make candied hawthorns."
The Pokémon around them all cast curious glances. What was candied hawthorn? They had never even heard of it.
Fang Zhou explained, "It involves melting candy into a liquid and pouring it onto the surface of the hawthorn, which significantly reduces the acidity of the hawthorn, making it taste sweet and sour."
"Wow!" The Pokémon around them all looked expectant, and Squirtle's mouth was practically watering. You could tell from the smell that it must taste delicious.
Fang Zhou scratched his head. He used to use rock sugar, but now he suddenly had a better idea.
I wonder if melting the experience candy and pouring it over the hawthorn berries would produce some special effects?
At the same time, in Petalburg City, Hoenn region, on the top floor of a building in the city center that is unremarkable on the outside but has a rather modern interior.
A tall, thin man pushed open the door and walked in. He casually took off his ordinary-looking dark gray trench coat and hung it on the coat rack next to him.
Beneath the trench coat was a black uniform with a white "R" logo printed on the left chest, signifying his status as a senior member of the Rockets.
The man had short purple hair and was Lambda, who had recently been sent to the Hoenn region to clean up the mess left by Takagure's failed operation there.
Lambda casually propped his leather-shoe-clad legs up on the desk, then sank back into the soft leather boss's chair, hands behind his head, in a relaxed and carefree posture.
At that moment, a subordinate walked in, carrying a bound document.
"Lord Lambda, as you requested, we have completed a comprehensive review of Team Rocket's current assets, bases, cooperative channels, and infiltrators in the Hoenn region. Please review it."
Lambda didn't even lift his eyelids. He simply stretched out his hand, pinched the document between two fingers, and casually flipped through a few pages. His eyes quickly scanned a few key data points before he tossed the document onto the corner of the table.
"Okay, I understand. Let's leave it for now."
Seeing his expression, the subordinate hesitated, but couldn't help asking, "Sir, shouldn't we... take some concrete action next?"
Lambda waved his hand, interrupting his subordinate, his voice languid: "What's the rush? It's a rare treat to get out of that suffocating Kanto and take a short vacation in sunny Hoenn to relax. Isn't that wonderful? No rush."
He suddenly asked out of curiosity, "By the way, how's the matter I asked you to make the contact a few days ago going?"
The subordinate immediately replied, "Please rest assured, everything has been arranged according to your wishes. Through indirect channels and financial support, we successfully influenced the propaganda direction of several mainstream television stations in the Hoenn region, and we also contacted the mayor of Littleroot Town to package and promote what was originally a local planting festival in Littleroot Town into a planting skills exchange conference open to the entire Hoenn region."
He smiled and continued, "It is expected to attract a large number of skilled growers, specialty farm owners, and agricultural researchers from all over Hoenn and even other regions."
Lambda nodded in satisfaction.
That's right, that's correct.
To start work in a new region, simply put, it means utilizing the resources and unlocking the potential of the area.
Resources don't necessarily have to be obtained through fighting, killing, or cunning. That kind of approach is too low-level and easily provokes backlash, like that fool did before.
Cooperation, win-win outcomes, and talent discovery – that's the advanced approach.
What does the Rockets lack? All sorts of talent.
Combatant, researcher, technician, intelligence officer...
Of course, this also includes those planting experts who can grow strange and wonderful things.
He had just arrived in Hoenn that day and overheard someone talking about the Littlewhite Town event at a bar. He thought it was interesting and decided to go with the flow and make it bigger.
The team is a mixed bag; perhaps we can find a few truly skilled players among them, offer them generous compensation, and invite them to join Team Rocket.
This is the truly sustainable way to do work.
They came to use the resources to strengthen themselves, not to cause destruction and become colonizers.
……
Inside the manor, Ark looked at the form prompt box in front of him with surprise.
Congratulations! You've obtained the amazing combo – Experience Candied Hawthorn!
