Chapter 82: Buneary, Am I a Genius?
After Bai Feng put away the Sun Stone, Chikorita finally found an Opportunity to talk to him.
"Chiko~ Chiko~"
"You want to show me a special Move?" Bai Feng thought Chikorita was just saying this because it found it fun, so he nodded and said, "Alright, you can perform now?"
"Chiko~ Chiko~"
Chikorita stomped its foot, indicating it couldn't do it here.
"You want to go to the Flower Field?" Bai Feng asked doubtfully, "Alright, alright, but you have to be quick, we still have Work to do!"
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Chikorita was extremely happy. It ran cheerfully, even turning back to urge Bai Feng to hurry up.
Bai Feng shook his Head helplessly, then said to the Heliolisk beside him, "Let's go see what special Move this little guy wants to perform!" After speaking, he walked towards the Location of the Flower Field.
"Aybo~"
Helioptile nodded, bouncing along behind Bai Feng.
By the Time Bai Feng and Heliolisk reached the edge of the Flower Field, Chikorita had already burrowed into the flower bushes. Its small Body was hidden by the dense Leaves of the Fairy Flowers, with only its small Head visible.
"Chiko~ Chiko~" Watch closely, I'm about to start!
Chikorita stretched its neck and shouted to Bai Feng, who was standing at the edge of the Flower Field.
"We know, we're watching!" Bai Feng waved his hand at it.
Hearing Bai Feng's reply, Chikorita's large Eyes instantly narrowed into crescents. Immediately, it whimpered a few times, and a green light appeared on its Body.
"It's Grassy Terrain!"
Bai Feng instantly recognized Chikorita's Move. He just didn't understand why Chikorita wanted to show him this Move that he had already seen countless times. Had Chikorita developed a new way to use Grassy Terrain?
Just as Bai Feng was wondering, he suddenly saw that centered around Chikorita, all the Fairy Flower Flower Buds bathed in the Grassy Terrain were swaying and slowly opening their Petals. The scene was very beautiful.
The Place where Chikorita performed was specially chosen by it. The Fairy Flowers in this area had basically not bloomed yet; most were Flower Buds about to bloom, which was why it gave Bai Feng such a strong visual impact.
Not only did the Fairy Flowers bloom, but Bai Feng even noticed that the entire Plant seemed to have become more energetic.
After the performance ended, Chikorita immediately darted out of the Flower Field, quickly ran to Bai Feng's side, and looked up, waiting for Bai Feng's praise.
However, Bai Feng had not yet recovered from his shock and was still staring blankly at the blooming Fairy Flowers.
"Chiko~ Chiko~"
Seeing that Bai Feng wasn't praising it, Chikorita became unhappy. It bit Bai Feng's pants to urge him.
Only then did Bai Feng snap back to his senses. He asked with a face full of surprise, "Chikorita, when did you become so amazing?"
Bai Feng's reaction pleased Chikorita. It proudly tilted its small Head back, looking smug. Bai Feng suspected that if it tilted its Head back any further, its small neck might not be able to support it.
Seeing that Chikorita wouldn't tell him, Bai Feng Guessed, "Could it be that Enamorus or Landorus helped you?"
Currently, the only two Gods at Home who could help Chikorita suddenly gain a new ability were these two.
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Chikorita instantly looked at Bai Feng in astonishment, its face practically screaming "How did you know?".
As expected... Seeing Chikorita's expression, Bai Feng knew he had Guessed correctly.
It seems he'll have to properly thank Landorus and Enamorus later.
"Even if Others helped you, Chikorita, you are still very amazing. I'm proud of you!" Bai Feng still praised Chikorita very seriously.
Hearing Bai Feng's praise, Chikorita instantly reverted to its previous "I'm amazing" expression. It even walked behind Bai Feng with its Head tilted back.
After watching Chikorita's performance, Bai Feng called the Pokémon at Home to go Work together on Fang Cun Mountain.
On the way, Primarina looked at Chikorita's pose, walking while looking at the sky, and asked Heliolisk doubtfully, "What's wrong with it? Did it get a stiff neck from sleeping?"
As soon as Heliolisk heard this, it couldn't help but burst out laughing. However, before it could answer Primarina's Question, it saw Chikorita trip over a Stone because it wasn't looking where it was going, falling flat on the Ground with a "splat", landing on its back.
Heliolisk's expression paused for an Instant, then it burst into laughter again.
After it explained the Reason to Primarina, Primarina also started laughing.
Bai Feng turned back and secretly glared at Heliolisk and Primarina. The two Pokémon instantly fell silent, but the smiles on their faces wouldn't disappear.
Falling didn't Influence Chikorita at all. It scrambled up, quickly ran to Bai Feng's side, and continued walking forward with its Head tilted back.
Upon reaching Fang Cun Mountain, everyone began to Work under Bai Feng's arrangements.
The three Diglett plus Nidoking and Nidoqueen, these five Ground-type Pokémon, were specifically responsible for digging up the Fruit Trees by the roots from the Ground.
Sewaddle was responsible for using the Move X-Scissor to separate the Tree Trunks and Branches/Leaves of the Fruit Trees. The Tree Trunks were placed on one side, and the Branches/Leaves on the other.
Under Enamorus's stimulation, these Fruit Trees had grown tall and large. Their Tree Trunks were excellent Wood, which could not only be sold for Money but also saved for future Building Materials.
As for the trimmed Branches and Leaves, they would be piled up, sprinkled with special Materials to ferment them, and then used for Compost.
Purrloin was responsible for using Shadow Claw to cut the Tree Branches short and small. This would speed up the decomposition of the Tree Branches and shorten the Time for Compost.
Bai Ye, along with Gastly, Misdreavus, and Litwick, used Psychic Skills to transport the thick, heavy Tree Trunks and place them in suitable Locations.
As for Primarina, Heliolisk, and the others, they were responsible for helping out wherever needed.
Bai Feng himself couldn't do physical Work, so he could only be responsible for overall coordination.
As for the little ones like Chikorita and Larvitar, they couldn't do anything, so they just ran around the Orchard, chirping and yelling non-stop.
Everyone worked together, and the Work speed was very fast. Before long, a Clearing was cleared out.
Bai Feng was methodically directing everyone's Work when he suddenly saw a large Log moving by itself. Bai Ye and Gastly had already transported the Wood and left; they weren't here at the moment.
Bai Feng was startled by this strange phenomenon at first, but when he looked closely, he was surprised to Discover that the one holding the large Log was... Buneary.
Because its small size was blocked by the thick Tree Trunk, Bai Feng didn't Discover it immediately.
Buneary was effortlessly lifting and swinging a Log many times larger than itself, almost making Bai Feng's jaw drop.
He had always known Buneary's strength was unusual, but he didn't expect it to be this exaggerated. With its cute and adorable appearance like a little bunny, how could it actually be a Strongman with infinite strength?
Looking at Buneary, who was running quickly while holding the Log high, Bai Feng suddenly felt that he should check its Body. Perhaps Buneary's Body truly had something extraordinary!
When Buneary returned after delivering a Log, Bai Feng waved at it and said, "Buneary, come here for a moment."
Buneary was startled upon hearing this, but then bounced over to Bai Feng's side, still looking confused.
"Let me check your Body." Bai Feng sat on a wooden stump and held Buneary on his lap as he spoke.
Although Buneary didn't understand why Bai Feng suddenly wanted to check its Body, it still nodded obediently.
Bai Feng controlled his Golden Finger Energy, slowly letting it permeate Buneary's Body, checking its Body little by little.
Except for Bai Ye, Primarina, Heliolisk, Larvitar, and Chikorita, Bai Feng rarely gave the Pokémon Employees in the Orchard detailed Body checks.
Especially after he could use Psychic Power to multitask, the speed at which he sorted the Employees' Energy became faster. To increase Work Efficiency, Bai Feng was even less likely to carefully examine the Pokémon's Body Situation.
Although he regularly took the Pokémon to the Pokémon Center for Body checks, those checks were for the Pokémon's health Problems; other abnormalities couldn't be detected.
Because he checked carefully, Bai Feng quickly found the abnormality in Buneary's Body.
Part of Buneary's Hidden Energy Circuit had actually been Lit!
Not only that, compared to the Hidden Energy Circuits of Other Pokémon, Buneary's Hidden Energy Circuit was significantly brighter.
In Bai Feng's Golden Finger detection, the Hidden Energy Circuits of ordinary Pokémon were dim and dull. If not checked carefully, they were very difficult to Discover.
But Buneary was Different; its Hidden Energy Circuit was very noticeable.
If the area where a Pokémon's Hidden Energy Circuit is located is compared to a dim Environment, then in ordinary Pokémon, you can only vaguely see the outline of the Hidden Energy Circuit.
But Buneary's Situation was like lighting a candle in this dim Environment. The Location of the candlelight was the Hidden Energy Circuit that had been Lit, and the surrounding Energy Circuits could also be seen clearly under the illumination of the candlelight.
In other words, this Buneary belonged to the type of existence with extraordinary Talent.
Buneary's Hidden Energy Circuit was on its legs and ears, and a Part of it in each Location had already been Lit.
Bai Feng suddenly felt that in the future, when helping Bai Ye and the others with Lighting Hidden Energy Circuits, he might as well bring Buneary along. He wondered what would happen to a Pokémon born with a Part of its Hidden Energy Circuit already Lit after its entire Hidden Energy Circuit was Lit.
Having figured out the Reason for Buneary's immense strength, Bai Feng put it down and said, "Come to my Room tonight after Dinner."
Buneary didn't understand what Bai Feng was going to do, but it still nodded in agreement with its small Eyes full of confusion.
"Alright, you can continue with your Work!" Bai Feng said to Buneary with a smile.
"Miloo~"
Buneary responded, and suddenly thought, could it be that the Boss saw how seriously I was Working and wants to give me a private Healing Treatment?
Buneary, who felt it had Guessed the Answer, quietly grinned and bounced away happily.
Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Feng called the Pokémon to finish Work and go Home. The remaining Part could be continued tomorrow.
After returning Home, Bai Feng personally made Dinner for everyone and gave everyone a Healing Treatment together, saying that everyone had worked hard today.
This action confused Buneary. Everyone gets a Healing Treatment? What about me? What am I supposed to do tonight?
After Dinner, the Employees successively returned to the Employee Dormitory. Since Buneary lived with Heliolisk, it didn't need to leave with the Other Employees.
Filled with confusion, it tidied up the dishes and chopsticks with Bai Ye and the others, then walked into Bai Feng's Room with a look of apprehension.
Bai Feng was reading an old Book in the Room. Seeing Buneary come over, he stood up happily and said, "Buneary, you're here. Come with me."
Saying this, he lifted his foot and walked out.
Hearing this, Buneary could only follow behind Bai Feng.
Buneary followed Bai Feng all the way to the Room that Bai Ye and the others usually used for Lighting Hidden Energy Circuits, and was surprised to Discover that its good Friend, Heliolisk, was also here.
"Aybo~"
Seeing Buneary enter the Room, Heliolisk grinned and waved at Buneary.
After Buneary came in, Bai Feng told it the Reason he had called it over.
Buneary was very surprised after hearing this. So, I'm a Genius? This was the first Time it had heard of such a Thing in its life!
However, it readily agreed to the matter of Lighting Hidden Energy Circuits. Since Heliolisk had been doing it, it wanted to do it too. That way, wouldn't it be the same as Heliolisk?
o(*////▽////*)q Hehehe...
Thinking of this, Buneary secretly glanced at Heliolisk. Heliolisk happened to be looking at it too, and the two Pokémon exchanged smiles.
⊙▂⊙ Bai Feng: ...
Bai Feng, who noticed their little actions, only felt cold Dog Food being randomly slapped onto his face.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Bai Feng lightly coughed, awkwardly interrupting the ambiguous atmosphere between the two Pokémon. "Alright, today we will help Buneary Light its Hidden Energy Circuit for the first Time!"
Heliolisk: (ω)
Buneary: (ω)
Soon, Buneary lay down on the Bed, while Heliolisk got ready to be responsible for using Electromagnetic Wave on it.
Because the Anesthetic Bai Feng bought from Nurse Joy was quantitative, Buneary's first Time Lighting its Hidden Energy Circuit could only rely on Heliolisk's Electromagnetic Wave.
Bai Feng didn't immediately have Heliolisk use Electromagnetic Wave on Buneary. He first used his Golden Finger to probe Buneary's Hidden Energy Circuit.
"Buneary, how does it feel?" Bai Feng asked.
"Miloo~" A little tingling.
"Just a little?" Bai Feng asked in surprise.
You know, when Bai Ye and the others first Lit their Hidden Energy Circuits, because they didn't use paralyzing methods, they were in excruciating pain.
Unexpectedly, for Buneary, it was just "a little". Could it be because Buneary had strong endurance?
Bai Feng probed again.
"How about this Time?" he continued to ask.
"Miloo~" The same as just now.
Buneary replied. Although its face showed a pained expression, it seemed to be within a tolerable range.
It seems Buneary's Hidden Energy Circuit truly is Different from Other Pokémon; it's not a Problem with its endurance.
"Can you bear it?" Bai Feng asked.
"Miloo~" No Problem.
Hearing this Answer, Bai Feng thought about trying to complete the Experiment of Lighting Buneary's Hidden Energy Circuit without the aid of paralyzing methods.
Although paralyzing methods were all Safe, Bai Feng still felt it was better not to use them if possible.
"Buneary, I'm going to officially start now. If it's too painful, be sure to tell me immediately, and I will stop right away." Bai Feng instructed Buneary.
"Miloo~" Okay.
Buneary nodded in reply.
As Bai Feng's Golden Finger Energy began to stimulate Buneary's Hidden Energy Circuit, Buneary gradually began to clench its teeth.
An Hour passed in the blink of an Eye, and Bai Feng finally stopped.
This Time was not only to help Buneary Light its Hidden Energy Circuit, but also a process for Bai Feng to explore and become familiar with its Hidden Energy Circuit. Only by first understanding the structure of the Hidden Energy Circuit would Bai Feng's next operation be easier.
The Hidden Energy Circuits of Different types of Pokémon are all Different.
Buneary gritted its teeth and endured the entire process without making a sound. After it ended, Bai Feng Discovered that its Feather was wet with sweat.
"Buneary, are you still awake?" Bai Feng asked.
"Mi~ Miloo~" I... I'm fine...
Buneary opened its Eyes.
"Miloo~~" Is it over?
"Yes, how do you feel?"
Bai Feng extended his arm next to Buneary, letting it hold onto his arm to sit up. Seeing this, Heliolisk also quickly supported Buneary's Body with its hands.
"Mi... Miloo..." I'm alright, I can endure it.
"That's good." Bai Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
After Buneary recovered, Bai Feng said to Heliolisk, "Heliolisk, take Buneary back to the Room."
"Aybo~" Okay.
Heliolisk nodded, then picked up Buneary and returned to the Room together.
After the two Pokémon left, Bai Feng thought for a moment and went to Landorus and Enamorus to express his gratitude, thanking them for helping Chikorita gain a new ability.
Enamorus accepted Bai Feng's thanks, but also told Bai Feng that it and Landorus would be departing for the Unova Region tomorrow.
