Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 57

Chapter 57 Why do you breathe fire after eating this food?

 Rick, a first-year freshman at Orange Academy, has a fire-type and normal-type Geli.

He left school not long ago and went to the vast Padia region to practice while traveling to major cities to collect gym badges.

When I was passing by Zhiqin Town, I happened to hear that an event called the "Cherry Flower Wine Party" would be held here, so I specially brought the little lion to participate.

After walking for a long time, everyone and the lion felt a little hungry. At this moment, they happened to smell an extremely attractive fragrance.

Following the guidance of the scent, they finally came to a stall selling food.

 That is a very strange stall.

 The stall owner is a young man wearing a brown denim jacket.

 He is surrounded by various Pokémon.

On the left and right sides are a Motorized Lizard and a strange Pokémon. There is a row of small Salt Stone Treasures on the stall. Behind the Salt Stone Treasures are the Frost Milk Fairy and the Mini Fu that is shaking its body gently. At the back, A dragon is sitting under the tree and resting.

　　When he walked up to him, the Bad Butterfly standing on the top of the stall also lowered his head and looked down.

 “So many rare Pokémon!”

Rick was so surprised that he couldn't help but ask: "Are these all your Pokémon?"

Zhi Shu nodded and said with a smile: "That's right."

 Rick's eyes suddenly showed an expression of envy. He has a dream, which is to conquer all kinds of rare and powerful Pokémon.

At this moment, a grunting sound came from the belly of the little lion in his arms.

Only then did Rick remember the purpose of coming here.

Zhi Shu smiled and said: "Take a look and see if there is anything you want to eat! If it is a little lion, I personally recommend you to buy it a piece of boiled meat!"

"Boiled pork slices..." Rick looked down at the price sign and murmured: "Boiled pork slices, 800 alliance coins, tree juice 200 alliance coins, tomato scrambled eggs 500 alliance coins, steamed eggs 300 alliance coins, then I want a piece of boiled pork slices and a piece of steamed egg!”

"okay!"

Zhi Shu took out the dishes he had prepared in advance, which he packed in small portable boxes with disposable tableware, which was very convenient.

Rick also took out the money and handed it over.

 The two of them pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

The moment Rick opened the lid, he smelled a spicy smell.

Looking at the meat slices covered in red oil, he couldn't help but swallow.

Picked a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, Rick's eyes suddenly opened wide.

Very delicious!

 Spicy and fragrant, the meat is soft and tender! Apart from being a bit spicy, it has almost no downsides!

“Little Lion, you should try it too!” Rick put the little Lion on the ground, and they sat directly on the grass next to each other, and began to share two portions of the food.

 In addition to the boiled meat slices, Rick opened another steamed egg.

 The steamed eggs are as smooth and tender as jelly.

Just when he was about to scoop up a piece with a spoon and taste it, the little lion next to him suddenly behaved strangely.

　　Its face turned red, its cheeks bulged, and then it suddenly opened its mouth, and a beam of extremely hot flames shot out from it.

what happened?

 Rick was slightly startled. He lowered his head and looked at the remaining pieces of meat covered in red oil in front of the little lion. A strange thought came to his mind—could it be that it was so spicy that it breathed fire?

 But it's obviously not that spicy when he eats it? !

The little lion snorted fire, then stopped. It licked its mouth with its tongue, and then continued to lower its head and eat the meat.

But before taking a few bites, it raised its head again and breathed out fire. Rick:! !

 Rick was stunned. Not knowing why, he hurriedly came to the stall and asked: "Boss, why do you breathe fire after eating this food?"

Naoki: "It's because I added a special secret seasoning to this dish. After the fire-type Pokémon eats it, the fire-type energy in the body will explode. But don't worry, it won't harm the Pokémon." Any effects on the body.”

Rick was a little confused.

At this moment, a bunch of flames suddenly burst out from the body of the little lion on the side.

The flames were getting stronger and stronger, gradually covering the little lion's body.

After the initial daze, the little lion felt this new power in his body and couldn't help but let out an excited cry. He aimed forward, accelerated his speed, and ran around the stall, getting faster and faster.

 “That, that's it!” Rick opened his mouth wide.

 If he read it correctly, that move is Charged Fire Attack!

 “It seems like your little lion has better luck!” Zhi Shu said.

Rick turned his head and looked over: "What do you mean?"

Zhi Shu said half-truthfully: "This is the effect of this dish. The spiciness in it will stimulate the fire-type energy in the Pokémon's body."

“When the fire-attribute energy in their bodies reaches a full state, their brains will be in a very peculiar state. In this state, they will sometimes learn new fire-attribute moves.”

This passage was too complicated and Rick didn't understand it.

Zhi Shu explained: "Just like some trainers will let their Pokémon practice in the whirlpool of the sea. The water-type energy there is abundant, which is conducive to them understanding water-type moves such as tidal waves."

Now Rick understood. He looked shocked and said loudly: "So, this food can help Pokémon practice?! How did you do it?!"

Zhi Shu smiled and said: "The secret recipe is exclusive and will not be shared with others! If you want to eat it, come back and buy it this time next year!"

After questioning to no avail, Rick turned his attention to the remaining dishes.

 He touched his pocket, and then asked: "Boss, can I buy a few more copies to take away?"

“No, one person can buy up to two copies.” Naoki shook his head.

 “Okay.” That means he can buy another one.

Rick immediately took out the money and bought the second copy.

“Boss, can other dishes help my little lion practice?” he asked.

  “Unfortunately, no, these are very ordinary dishes.”

"All right."

 Rick felt a little regretful and secretly decided in his heart that he must come here again next year.

 And just when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly noticed something.

etc! Shouldn't the people setting up stalls here be farmers from nearby? Why does this man know so much profound Pokémon knowledge?

 Who is the boss?

Thinking of this, Rick asked directly.

Zhi Shu spread his hands helplessly: "As you can see, I am just an ordinary farmer who runs a ranch nearby."

At this moment, new guests were attracted by the fragrance.

 This is a girl with a new leaf.

 She stepped forward to look at the menu, and then said: "Boss, I want two cups of tree juice and two bowls of steamed eggs!"
