At seven o'clock in the evening, it was pouring rain outside the window.

Naoki stood in the kitchen, took out the bag of soil rich in special elements that he bought from the Ziqin market, and began to make fortified dishes exclusive to the salt and stone treasures.

Behind him, there was a happy scene.

The mini Fuwo is gently swaying in the flowerpot,

The Frost Milk Fairy ran around on the wooden floor with five salt stone treasures, screaming happily.

The mini Fuwo was gently swaying in the flowerpot, watching the scene leisurely.

Bada butterfly landed on the top of the cupboard, enjoying the joyful time with a happy expression.

Three mounted lambs were huddled beside the bed, chewing grass balls leisurely, and the cloth was spinning around them, not knowing what they were doing.

Therefore, Luton and the Motorized Lizard were lying lazily on the ground, waiting for their meal.

Kuailong stood in front of the door and looked at the heavy rain outside, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Zhi Shu looked away.

Today's dinner has been prepared. As long as the last special dish is finished, the meal can officially begin.

He focused all his attention on the flour-like soil in front of him.

It is said to be soil, but the appearance of this thing is more like artificially polished flour.

This kind of "flour" made Naoki immediately think of the cooking method of "frying".

After thinking for a moment, he poured it into the pot, then added an appropriate amount of rock salt and stir-fried.

Although this soil can be eaten directly by Salt Shibao, if it is not cooked artificially, it will not have those magical special abilities.

Every time he thinks about this, Naoki feels like an alchemist, not cooking, but enchanting food.

He shook his head to get rid of this strange thought. Gradually, the rock salt and soil merged together, and a faint salty aroma spread from the pot.

For humans, this smell is not attractive.

But for salt stone treasure, it has a very exaggerated effect.

The salt and stone treasures who were chasing and fighting in the house stopped one after another after smelling the smell. They shouted "Yanyan", "Yanyan" in their mouths, and moved forward, looking expectantly.

Came over.

What does it smell like? It smells so good!

Seeing that the frying was almost done, Zhi Shu turned off the fire and put the soil into the food bowl that had been prepared in advance.

He looked down and the information about this "dish" appeared in his mind.

[Fried soil with rock salt (B-): A special dish made by frying soil rich in minerals and trace elements mixed with rock salt full of nutrients. It may be liked by certain Pokémon.

Cooking effect: Salty lv1, slightly improves the quality of rock salt produced by Yanshibao.

Special effect: Strengthen lv1, slightly increase the physical strength of Yan Shibao.

Rating: A very imaginative dish! Cooking Pokémon food in human cooking methods is also a good choice!]

"Huh?"

Looking at the fried soil in front of him, Naoki looked surprised.

Dishes with two effects...

To be honest, he wasn't too surprised by the first effect. What really surprised him was the second [strengthening] effect.

Naoki couldn't help but think of the grass dumplings that the mount lamb ate. Apart from helping the mount lamb learn grass-type moves, it didn't seem to have any other additional effects.

And now...

The salt stone treasures can’t wait.

Seeing this, Naoki put the soil on the ground.

Five salt stone treasures immediately jumped around and gathered around the food bowl to eat.

Naoki looked at this scene and fell into deep thought.

Soon, he thought of a possibility.

As we all know, Pokémon such as Saltite were born in rock salt layers underground, and combined with the fact that they leave traces of salt whenever they walk on the ground, it can be inferred that most of their bodies are also composed of rock salt.

Therefore, while this rock salt roasted soil enhances the quality of the rock salt produced by Yanshibao, it also strengthens Yanshibao's body.

After figuring this out, all the doubts in Naoki's brows disappeared.

What a good thing!

He wanted to know what kind of "monster" Pokémon he would raise if he fed soil like Salt and Stone every day.

After all, there is an example of riding a lamb before.

Zhi Shu's heart moved slightly, and he immediately planned to wait for the typhoon to pass before going to Zhiqin Market to see if he could order a large amount of this soil from that person.

"Anezha Town..." Naoki thought of the town that produced this kind of soil: "If you have a chance, you can go there for a stroll."

The town of Anza is famous in the Padia region for being rich in various minerals.

It is said that the Armor of Celebration and the Armor of Spells that allowed Tanchan to evolve were found deep in the mine there.

For this reason, there was a gold rush in Xunzha Town, attracting many trainers to visit, hoping to find treasures hidden deep in the ground to help their carbon servants evolve.

However, it is a pity that the rarity of the Celebration Armor and the Spell Armor exceeded their imagination, and so many people did not dig out a single related item.

About this matter, Naoki heard about it from a program called "Padiya Curiosities".

After the dinner was ready, Naoki put them on the table and called all the Pokémon to start eating.

After dinner, the storm outside became even worse.

Kuailong looked at this scene and couldn't help but yearn for it.

At this time, if it goes outside, will it be able to learn new moves like last time?

Thinking of this, Kuailong turned back and looked at Naoki expectantly.

Naoki was sitting cross-legged on the bed, grooming the lamb.

Although the mount lambs have been living outside, their bodies are not dirty at all, and they do not smell like sheep like ordinary goats. Instead, their brown fur exudes a faint scent of grass.

Hearing Kuailong's cry, Zhishu turned his head and looked.

Soon, he understood what Kuailong meant.

After thinking for a while, he said to it: "It's not impossible."

Kuailong's eyes suddenly lit up: "Ouch!" He knew it!

Moves that can be practiced on typhoon days...

The first thing Naoki thought of was the flying type move Storm with a power of 110.

Storm: Sweeps the opponent with strong wind to attack, sometimes confusing the opponent.

Apart from the relatively low hit rate, this move has almost no shortcomings. Not only is it extremely powerful, it also has a certain chance of causing the opponent to fall into confusion.

Naoki told Kuailong the general information about this move.

"Are you going to try? The weather outside is too bad, why not forget it?" Naoki asked.

But Kuailong shook his head and rejected the proposal.

It looked serious: "Ouch!"

Pokémon like Kuailong are naturally not afraid of wind and rain, and because of this, they have been able to save distressed ships in storms at sea many times.

Every dragon has to go through such a storm.

This incident is spread by word of mouth on Kuailong Island. It is said that only the Kuailong who can truly control hurricanes and heavy rains can become the king of Kuailong.

Seeing this, Zhi Shu felt a little helpless. He got up and got out of bed, preparing to go take a look with Kuailong: "Okay, let's go!"

However, he was stopped by Kuailong.

I saw it stretched out its big fat paws to push Zhi Shu back to the bed, and said seriously: "Ouch!"

After the last fever incident, Kuailong was worried that Zhi Shu would get sick again after being exposed to the rain. Out of worry, he was unwilling to let him accompany him this time.

After understanding what Kuailong meant, Zhi Shu reached out and touched Kuailong's head.

How touching!

From the beginning, this fast dragon simply followed him back to the ranch just to become stronger.

And now, he has begun to slowly adapt to life on the ranch and integrate into it, and has learned to care about him.

Does this mean that the relationship between them has become deeper? Naoki thought.

"Ouch?" Kuailong was a little confused.

Zhi Shu stood up, patted Kuailong on the shoulder seriously, and said to it:

"In that case, let's go! Everyone and I will wait for you to come back in the ranch. Pay attention to safety and come back safely!"
