Elf: I'm the only one who understands Pokémon

"I don't care! Jigglypuff is the cutest!"

"Fart! Pippi is much cuter than Jigglypuff!"

"You're always like this! For my sake, can't you say Jigglypuff is cuter than Pippi!"

"Let's talk about it, it has nothing to do with whether I love you or not, but Pippi really needs to be cuter."

"We can't survive this day! Break up!"

I forgot that this was the first time the young couple upstairs had argued about this topic. In the past month and week, arguing about this topic had become their daily routine.

Fang Zhu, who was still sleeping, was pulled out of his sleep by the noise. He rubbed his eyes and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Can't you just let me be woken up by bird Pokémon every day?"

Fang Zhu put on his clothes in a daze, looking at the sleeping Big Tongue and the One-horned Insect, Fang Zhu nodded with satisfaction.

These two Pokémon of mine have always gone all out during training, and I have always been afraid that they would be overtired.

Fortunately, when they were resting, they were also concentrating on resting, so they didn't seem to have to worry about this.

As usual, Fang Zhu picked out the ingredients from the refrigerator and prepared breakfast for the two Pokémon and himself today.

At the same time, I was thinking about how to conduct today's training.

At this time, a reminder of a friend's message came from the Gaia system.

[Wu Bai: Fang Zhu, I’m talking to another one today...]

Oh, not this one. Fang Zhu skillfully swiped right and chose to mark the message as read.

If you look at Wu Bai's experience for a long time, you will easily doubt whether you are still a human being.

The one who actually sent out the notification of new friends’ messages was actually the captain Taiji, who had barely chatted with him?

[Tai Er: Fang Zhu, are you there? ]

Seeing that the message was sent 5 minutes ago, Fang Zhu responded quickly.

[Fang Zhu: Yes, Captain Tai Er]

Although Taier corrected him many times and said that just calling him Taier would be fine, Fang Zhu still used to use this original title.

[Taiji: I have something I want you to help me with. It’s a bit tricky. Are you free today? ]

"Ok?"

Fang Zhu looked at the text on the screen with confusion. If he remembered correctly, Taier, as a staff member of the mission station, was officially affiliated with the Gaia Federation.

Is it a thorny issue that even the authorities find difficult?

[Fang Zhu: What is it probably? ]

[Taiji: Interview? ]

[Fang Zhu: Yes]

[Tai Er: Nine, after the appointment]

[Fang Zhu: OK]

While Fang Zhu and Tai Er were chatting, the two little ones had already gotten up.

After washing up obediently, he was already sitting at the dining table, waiting for the breakfast made by Fang Zhu.

The big tongue sat on the chair just fine, but the unicorn worm was a little worse. Fang Zhu put a small round stool on the chair for it, so that it could just reach the table.

"I may have something to do today, so I won't announce today's training plan for the time being."

Fang Zhu dipped a piece of bread in the cream of mushroom soup, put it in his mouth, and said to the big tongue and the one-horned insect.

In the past, during breakfast time, Fang Zhu would explain the day's training plan to them so that they would have a good idea and be ready.

But things for Tai Er are probably not going to be simple, and we will adapt to the situation when the time comes.

At nine o'clock in the morning, next to a rockery behind the mission.

Fang Zhu waved to Tai Er: "Good morning, Captain Tai Er."

Tai Er nodded seriously and replied: "Morning."

Looking at Tai Er's expression, Fang Zhu suddenly felt that it was not that simple to ask for his help.

Before Fang Zhu could ask questions, Tai Er sighed and explained the matter.

"Some time ago, some unknown changes occurred in the water quality of Pure Lake, which caused a large number of Pokémon who came into contact with the lake water to suffer from physical discomfort."

"The Gaia Federation's [-] subspace elite investigation team went to handle a certain task just half a month ago and was not in the town, so we found some strong trainers to investigate."

"Without exception, the trainers who went to investigate were attacked by a large number of wild Pokémon. Almost all of them came back injured, and the investigation was forced to be suspended."

"But we can't let it go anymore. The water quality of Pure Lake affects not only our water Pokémon, but also countless wild Pokémon. If the cause is not found in time, unimaginable things may happen. as a result of."

Listening to Taier's words, some memories in Fang Zhu's mind slowly connected together.

That one was huge but had poor potential. According to the breeding assistance system, it was probably a carp that had eaten food containing hormones.

In the past few days, I have seen scattered people carrying water Pokémon to the Pokémon Center for treatment.

Obviously, these incidents all point to the same source - the water quality of Pure Lake.

"So, what's the price?"

Fang Zhu blurted out a certain line from his past life memory.

The moment he finished speaking, Fang Zhu suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly explained: "I just said that sentence out of the blue. Don't worry about it. Do you need me to investigate the cause of the deterioration of the lake water now?"

In response to Fang Zhu's inquiry, Tai Er nodded: "Currently in the town, if anyone has the ability to solve this matter, it's only you. After all, I can't find anyone stronger than the champion of the first battle competition." Fighting strength."

"Of course, the mission rewards will not be less."

Taier boarded the Gaia system, forwarded the mission information to Fang Zhu, and then said, "Because the problem has not been solved after many attempts, the mission reward has now reached a very good level."

Listening to Taier's words, Fang Zhu looked at the information on the screen in front of him.

[Urgent mission: Investigate the cause of the deterioration of Pure Lake! 】

Recently, the water in Pure Lake has deteriorated for unknown reasons, which has caused many Pokémon to develop abnormal physical conditions. For the health and ecology of Pokémon, trainers are invited to investigate the cause of the deterioration of the lake water.

Mission time limit: within three days

Mission reward: 50000 points, any item from the mission warehouse

It seems that the situation is indeed urgent. This is a rare time-limited task that Fang Zhu has ever seen.

But it has to be said that there are indeed many rewards. In addition to 50000 points, there is also a reward that Fang Zhu is very familiar with - optional items in the mission warehouse.

You know, the last time I was in the warehouse, I only took a look around, but there were many good things that made me very excited.

"I accepted this mission. Do you have any additional clues, Captain Taier?"

Fang Zhu gently clicked the answer button and asked Taier.

Taiji shook his head: "The previous trainers basically wanted to start from the stream connected to the Pure Lake. However, when exploring along the stream, they would always be attacked by a large number of wild Pokémon inexplicably, causing the mission to fail. You can learn from this. careful."

Fang Zhu silently wrote it down, then waved to Tai Er, then turned and walked towards the wild: "Without further delay, I will set off first, Tai Er will fight, and wait for my good news."

After releasing the big tongue and the unicorn bug, and petting them a few times, Fang Zhu decided to vaccinate them in advance: "There may be one or several battles later, so adjust your body and be ready to fight at any time."
