Pokémon Spirit World Apostle

"You don't mean to say that we can simply use the high-quality energy cubes you created to exchange for medicinal herbs. This will help us gain the trust of Dragon King Scorpion, right?"

Kurosawa's big, seemingly sincere eyes flickered and blinked.

"Isn't this a bad idea?"

"If this is just a money-minded Dragon King Scorpion, I believe that as long as we take out your shiny and attractive energy cube, the Dragon King Scorpion will be fascinated by the energy cube in an instant."

"However, this Dragon King Scorpion is very cunning. He will not be deceived by your tricks, Yamato. Once this energy cube is used, our identity will be exposed faster."

"So we need to purchase some local materials, disguise ourselves as businessmen who have learned about the Dragon King Scorpion's blockade of selling medicinal herbs, and prepare to speculate on obtaining some medicinal herbs."

Wu Shi's eyes were full of confusion. He didn't understand the meaning of doing this.

"Since Dragon King Scorpion is no longer willing to trade herbs to Joey, can he still trade herbs to us?"

Kurosawa sighed and shook his head.

"Boss, have you forgotten that we didn't go into the medicinal herb forest to exchange for medicinal herbs? We went to investigate why Dragon King Scorpion didn't sell medicinal herbs."

Wu Shi suddenly realized this.

"Yeah, I almost forgot about the real thing."

……

Following Lina's instructions throughout the process, they put the large and small bags of purchased materials and the large and small pots for making elf food into Wu Shi's large bag, and the three of them set off towards the herb forest.

Sure enough, as Joey said, there were some newly planted saplings on the edge of the woods. Looking at the moist soil around them, it was obvious that they had been carefully taken care of by the Pokémon in the woods.

Kurosawa squatted down and purified his spiritual power to sense the situation of the sapling.

"If these saplings survive, I believe this forest can become a forest. The natural energy here will become extremely abundant, nourishing the rapid growth of Pokémon living in it."

"This Dragon King Scorpion is still a sensible person and knows what kind of environment is most suitable for them to grow. If this continues, the herbs here will grow more lushly and the quality will be improved to a higher level."

"I feel that when they eat the herbs directly, they should be able to achieve good growth effects. Especially since they have poison attributes, they don't need to worry about the suitability of the herbs at all."

"Inappropriate combination becomes poison, which directly increases their toxicity. Maybe they will be happier."

Lina squinted her eyes and looked at the shadowy woods ahead.

"Poison-type Pokémon are more willing to increase the toxicity of their poison sacs than to increase their level. Be careful after entering, so as not to be hit by the poisonous needles fired by poisonous insects hiding in the shadows."

Kurosawa looked ahead and pressed his hand on the ground again. The blue purifying spiritual power spread forward in the form of fan-shaped ripples, finding all the poisonous insects hidden in the shadows.

And those poisonous insects looked at their slightly glowing body with fear in their eyes.

What's going on? Why am I suddenly glowing! ?

Is this...about to take off?

Then they heard Kurosawa say with a smile:

"Okay, friends who are glowing, stop hiding. We have discovered you. Don't be confused about why you are glowing. It was me who did it. I just hope you don't attack us with poisonous needles."

"We have some food here. I hope you can introduce us to the leader here, the Dragon King and the Scorpion King. What do you think?"

Takeshi's mouth twitched and he looked at Kurosawa, who looked confident.

"Do you think if you speak slanderous words to a group of wild Pokémon, they will understand?"

Several large needle bees, wheel balls, and pincer-tailed scorpions looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what Kurosawa was talking about, but they understood the word food.

It seems like you want to give them something to eat and then ask them to help with something?

No matter what, let's eat first and then talk about it. As for what Kurosawa and the others want to do, they can just turn their backs and refuse to admit their debt after they finish eating.

After a murmur of discussion, they walked out of the shadows. Pincer-tailed Scorpion pointed at Kurosawa and made a gesture of eating, obviously asking Kurosawa to take out the food quickly.

Takeshi took off his backpack in surprise and took out all the materials Lina needed.

The three of them started making elf food as quickly as possible. As it started to heat up, a scent of food spread out, making the Scorpion and the others drool uncontrollably.

Kurosawa smiled and pointed at the scorpion's mouth and said:

"My saliva is drooling, please be careful with your image."

Putting the last bit of ingredients into the pot, Kurosawa said with a smile:

"Hey, Pincer-tailed Scorpion, you and the Dragon King Scorpion are from the same clan, so you should know something about the King. You said we can find the King and exchange elf food for medicinal herbs. Can it be done?"

As soon as he heard that Kurosawa and the others were here to exchange herbs, Pincer-tailed Scorpion's expression suddenly changed. He nervously took two steps back, opened his pincers, and looked at Kurosawa fiercely.

"What do you mean? You don't want to eat anything?"

While Kurosawa and Pincer-tailed Scorpion were talking, Lina had already prepared the elf food. Because it was to be eaten directly, it was not made into a granular form that was easy to carry.

A plate of steaming hot cakes was directly placed in front of them.

Smelling this fragrance, the scorpion's face couldn't stand up in an instant. With lightning speed, he grabbed the big cake and took another bite. The scorpion instantly showed an intoxicated look.

After three bites and two bites at a time, the Scorpion swallowed a piece of cake that was bigger than the face of the Scorpion. He burped with satisfaction and rubbed his belly.

Kurosawa also released the dream interpreter.

"The food has been eaten. Can you reveal this news to Pincer-tailed Scorpion? Can we get some of this herb from Dragon King Scorpion King, our urgent species?"

The Pincer-tailed Scorpion might still be young and hadn't yet learned how shameless the Dragon King Scorpion was. After careful consideration, he decided to tell Kurosawa the situation, of course only the part he could tell.

Pincer-tailed Scorpion shook his head decisively and told Kurosawa that it was impossible to exchange herbs!

"Why not trade with us humans?"

The pincer-tailed scorpion remained silent for a moment.

The Big Needle Bee, Wheel Ball, and the others also finished their pie and called the Pincer-tailed Scorpion to retreat.

The Pincer-tailed Scorpion said a few final words, then invited his friends and left.

Wu Shi asked curiously:

"What does he mean?"

"The Dream Demon said that the Pincer-tailed Scorpion said that we can wander in the woods, but we can't collect medicines, and we can't conquer the poison-type Pokémon in the woods. We can conquer other Pokémon at will."

"Even take them all away."

Takeshi clapped his hands.

"So, they ate our food and didn't tell us any useful information? They took the stuff and didn't do anything. This Pincer-tailed Scorpion doesn't follow the rules of the world!"

"You were saying just now that it's inappropriate to talk about the rules of the world with Pokémon. Why are you talking about them now?"

Who knows that the Pincer-tailed Scorpion suddenly fell back again.

The Pincer-tailed Scorpion figured it out, and that matter still needed human help, and it was probably possible to succeed. The Dragon King Scorpion did this, and the Pincer-tailed Scorpion was actually the one who was most opposed to it.

It was actually him who facilitated the deal between Dragon King Scorpion and Joey.

Scorpion is the poisonous Pokémon closest to humans in the entire forest, so he is now guarding the edge of the forest, warning humans entering and exiting the forest to abide by the rules of the forest.
