Chapter 14: Pikachu
[Happiness Points Acquisition Record: 300 - Professor Oak's Sincere Gratitude]
Taylor looked at the prompts in the system and figured out where the 300 happiness points came from. He got so many because of Professor Oak's gratitude.
"In other words, in addition to the happiness of the adopted Pokémon, will it also be determined based on the adopter's gratitude? Or will we just take whichever one is higher?" Taylor seemed to have discovered the key point.
However, this also made Taylor realize that in addition to finding adoptable Pokémon for the little ones, if Taylor encountered a lost Pokémon, he might be able to contact the original trainer by checking the trainer's information, thereby obtaining a large number of happiness points as a reward.
One check requires ten happiness points, but as long as the other party is truly grateful, Taylor can earn 100 happiness points, which is quite cost-effective.
"But the conditions for this thing are quite harsh," Considering that in order to achieve this condition, the two points of [Pokémon is poached and lost] and [the trainer wants to get his Pokémon back] must be met, Taylor feels that it is still difficult to make a fortune by relying on this.
After seeing off Professor Oak, it was almost time for lunch. However, because there were five more volunteers, Taylor still needed to prepare their meals. Thinking of this, Taylor decided to go to the vegetable market and buy some ingredients.
Riding his bicycle, Taylor said something to the volunteers and Kuro, and then left the Pokémon orphanage.
In reality, Viridian City is quite large, which means there are several vegetable markets in Viridian City. In the past two months, Taylor has also found a vegetable market with the best cost-effectiveness, and he is now planning to go to that vegetable market.
When riding to a forest, Taylor stopped, recognizing the familiar rustle of leaves that often signaled his friend's arrival. He looked at the small forest in front of him and then whistled.
The next second, a Pikachu poked its head out from inside. After seeing it was Taylor, it ran over happily and jumped on Taylor's face.
"Okay, okay," Taylor felt that he was having trouble breathing. Although Pikachu was very cute, it actually weighed six kilograms. This was only the standard weight. In fact, based on eating habits and body shape differences, weight would fluctuate to a certain extent.
The largest Pikachu Taylor had ever seen weighed twelve kilograms, twice as much as its peers.
The maximum weight of Pikachu in the league has been refreshed.
"Pika~" Pikachu jumped excitedly into Taylor's basket, then turned his head and looked at Taylor and called out.
"Okay, okay, I get it," Taylor rubbed Pikachu's head with a somewhat amused look, and then immediately retracted his hand. He had to retract his hand because his hand was shocked by static electricity.
Pokémon like Pikachu have a lot of electricity on their bodies, and you can feel static electricity just by touching them.
Looking at the Pikachu in the basket, Taylor had a smile in his eyes.
This little guy is pretty amazing. He is Taylor's grocery shopping assistant. The only problem is that he doesn't want to go to the Pokémon orphanage. He is a self-reliant Pokémon.
Seeing that Pikachu was already seated, Taylor rode his bike slowly towards the vegetable market. Along the way, he could see some people dressed as trainers, discussing something seriously. They gathered at the entrance of the Viridian City Gym, looking at the gym in front of them with some fascination in their eyes.
Taylor glanced at the bustling Viridian City Gym, then rode his bike through the crowd.
He had no interest in training and fighting, nor in becoming a champion or a trainer.
Having been a champion in games for so many times in his previous life, Taylor now just wants to take good care of the little ones in his Pokémon orphanage.
"Pika!" Pikachu called again, and Taylor stopped the bike and took a look.
In front of a shop selling breakfast, there was a Pikachu leading three Pokémon who were crying and acting cute. He was really cute.
The Pikachu in the lead was the leader of the cute group, and behind it were two Jigglypuffs and a Swablu.
I have to say, Pikachu is selective about his companions.
If I bring two stinky muds with me, I'm afraid no one will like me no matter how cute I act.
"This little guy," Taylor smiled. He remembered that there were quite a lot of cute Pokémon, but some of them looked hard to compliment, so the cuteness of those Pokémon was not very good. Later, Pikachu let them stay in their base to be responsible for housekeeping and logistics work.
The Stray little guys also showed strong organizational skills.
The shop owner smiled and recorded the video with his mobile phone, then handed over a bag of breakfast, which was steamed buns, about twenty of them.
After getting the bun, Pikachu did not forget to thank his companions, and then left with the bun.
Continuing his journey, Taylor rode towards the vegetable market. The Pikachu in the basket looked at the bun and pointed at it excitedly.
"Got it. Then I'll use the buns you earned this time to buy you more?" Taylor knew what Pikachu meant. He said with a smile, then rode his bike to the bun shop and bought six buns from the boss.
Pikachu got the hot buns and ate them happily in big mouthfuls. He stuffed a whole bun into his mouth with his cheeks bulging like a big hamster.
"Don't eat too much, have a cup of milk," Taylor handed over another cup of milk. Pikachu, who was choking on the bun and rolling his eyes, hurriedly took it and drank the milk to suppress his nausea.
Taylor held his chin and watched Pikachu eat two buns and drink a cup of milk before continuing to ride his bike.
Pikachu also wrapped the remaining buns and planned to eat them in the evening.
For a Stray Pokémon, the happiest thing is to have fresh, unspoiled food to eat.
Taylor also rode his bike and brought Pikachu to his destination.
Viridian City Fresh Food Wholesale Market.
Although it is called the Fresh Food Wholesale Market, it is actually just an ordinary vegetable market where everything is sold.
"Pikachu, today is the same as usual. Help me pick out the freshest ingredients," Taylor rubbed Pikachu's head and felt a little relaxed.
