Chapter 86: Large Quantities of Moon Stones Appear
Three Viridian Power fragments at once?!
Carver was somewhat surprised.
He quickly thought about what was different this time from the previous two occasions.
The first two times, he had simply rescued Pokémon and treated their injuries without deeper interaction.
This time, besides treating Zangoose, he had also helped Zangoose find a trainer.
Zangoose wanted to get stronger because of Seviper, so finding a trainer to help it become stronger was indirectly fulfilling its wish.
So—was it because he helped Zangoose fulfill its wish?
It could work that way too.
As for the Razor Claw that Zangoose had given him, it was also a very good item.
He could keep it and see which Pokémon might be able to use it later.
The training of all the Pokémon in the breeding house continued.
After this incident, news that the breeding house could help treat injuries quickly spread throughout the forest.
In just two days, Carver had received three injured Pokémon to treat.
As expected, another three Viridian Power fragments were obtained.
Besides the Viridian Power fragments, these helped Pokémon would occasionally bring berries, small stones, flowers, and other items as thank-you gifts to show their gratitude to Carver.
Carver didn't mind and happily accepted them each time. After all, these gifts might be very precious things to these Pokémon.
"This way, I've collected a total of 8 Viridian Power fragments. I still need 92 more to obtain Viridian Power."
Behind the counter, Carver checked his Viridian Power collection progress and murmured to himself.
With Viridian Power, he could communicate face-to-face with Pokémon and understand their thoughts more directly.
Then he could enter the inner world of Ralts and the others, carefully sense their hearts, and treat their psychological trauma accordingly.
However, that day was probably still a long time away.
Carver wasn't in a hurry. The sunlight outside was just right as he rested his chin on his hand, looking at the Pokémon in the breeding house who were either resting or chasing and playing.
Living such a peaceful life seemed pretty good too.
"Boss!"
A shout came from outside the door.
A customer!
Carver immediately perked up and looked toward the entrance.
"Welcome!"
A young man with a hiking backpack walked in from outside. He looked at Carver and asked:
"Boss, do you buy Moon Stones in large quantities here?"
Carver was slightly stunned, then nodded: "That's right. How many Moon Stones do you have?"
The young man didn't speak. He walked to the counter, placed his bag on it, and the moment he unzipped it, Moon Stones came tumbling out.
"So many?!" Carver was somewhat surprised.
"Yeah, because I want to go out and travel too! But my parents don't have much money, so I thought I'd go outside and find some rare things to sell. I recently heard that you're buying Moon Stones in large quantities here, and the price is higher than normal shops," the young man scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
Carver was even more surprised: "Just with your own strength?"
The young man pulled out a Poké Ball: "And with Zigzagoon!"
Light flashed, and a Zigzagoon appeared in the main hall.
Carver glanced at it—a Zigzagoon with the Pickup ability. The probability of finding treasures was indeed higher than Zigzagoon with other abilities.
However, could one Zigzagoon find so many Moon Stones?
This really surprised Carver.
The young man in front of him seemed to see his thoughts and couldn't help but laugh and explain: "Zigzagoon couldn't do it at first, but later we specifically studied it, and now Zigzagoon is very good at finding ore!"
"I see..." Carver pondered thoughtfully. This was somewhat similar to the Meowth in Team Rocket's trio.
He counted the number of Moon Stones the young man provided, then gave him the money.
The young man who had gotten a large sum of money happily left with Zigzagoon. Now they had funding for their travels!
Carver looked at his wallet, which was half empty, and couldn't help but feel some pain.
But when he saw the smiles the Clefairy showed upon seeing so many Moon Stones, he immediately felt that none of this mattered.
Money—if you don't have it, you can earn more. Moreover, with his special ability, he could earn quite a lot just by teaching moves.
The Clefairy lined up to carry Moon Stones into the spaceship.
Carver followed to take a look and saw that the originally empty energy bay was now more than half full.
Carver asked: "How many more Moon Stones do we need to collect before the ship can start?"
"Clefairy!"
Clefairy held up one finger, then pointed to the energy bay.
Carver understood. It seemed like once the energy bay was full, the ship could officially begin its voyage.
"That's soon!" Carver said to himself.
"Clefairy~!" The Clefairy nodded happily.
Once they collected enough energy, they could start the spaceship, pilot it to space, and continue searching for the land flowing with milk and honey!
Besides that, they also had to return to Clefairy Star to tell everyone about their experiences on this planet!
"Good." Carver smiled and nodded. Since this was his promise with this group of Clefairy, he would definitely fulfill it.
Collecting Moon Stones to help them repair their spaceship.
Although the Clefairy leaving would bring considerable impact to the breeding house's normal operations, it was fine. He and Bewear would handle everything.
At worst, he could hire other Pokémon to help later.
After storing the Moon Stones, the Clefairy returned to the breeding house to continue watching TV.
Carver intended to return behind the counter to continue reading, but unexpectedly, Bagon wearing the Exp. Share came looking for him.
Bagon's small face was full of seriousness.
"Bagon."
"What's wrong, Bagon?" Carver was somewhat surprised.
Bagon removed the Exp. Share from its head. It looked at the Exp. Share, then put it on its head, assumed a battle stance, then stopped, removed the Exp. Share, and looked at Carver.
Although the actions were strange, Carver instantly understood what Bagon meant.
It was surprised by the Exp. Share's effects!
After all, in Bagon's impression, getting stronger required constant hard training.
Just like when Carver first saw it—back then, Bagon would jump off high cliffs every day to train itself.
Bagon was puzzled by the Exp. Share's effects.
"Well..." Carver didn't know how to explain this thing's origins for a moment.
After thinking briefly, he said: "This thing is an Exp. Share. If you wear it while watching other Pokémon battle, it will help you learn more experience and techniques."
"Bagon..." Bagon pondered thoughtfully.
To prevent Bagon from developing a lazy mindset, Carver continued:
"However, this Exp. Share can only serve as an auxiliary tool at most. To become stronger, besides using this item, you still need to train hard every day, just like Growlithe."
"Bagon..."
So you can't just lie around and get stronger?
Bagon was inevitably somewhat disappointed. It had thought—
But that was okay.
Bagon quickly cheered up again.
With Carver's help and this thing's assistance, it would someday grow wings and fly into the blue sky!
