Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Elekid

A/N:2/3 Bonus Chapters

Julian and Cynthia’s dance directly heated up the atmosphere of the bonfire party.

Everyone went wild, dancing together until around midnight before finally falling asleep.

When Julian woke up at seven the next morning and checked the ingredients while making breakfast, he discovered that the supplies had already been mostly consumed.

Originally, he had planned to go down the mountain after lunch. Now, they might have to go down the mountain for lunch instead.

At the table, Julian said, "Maylene, don’t fish later. Come with me to search for ingredients. You came up the mountain to learn wilderness survival knowledge."

Caitlin’s eyes lit up.

"Searching for fresh ingredients? That sounds interesting. I want to join too!"

Cynthia said, "Then why don’t all of us go look for ingredients together?"

Caitlin’s eyes narrowed.

"Then you and Julian can be one group. Maylene, Paul and I will be one group. Let’s see who finds more ingredients!"

Julian reminded them, "Make more use of Pokémon’s sharp sense of smell to search for food. Riolu and Stufful are both Pokémon with very developed senses of smell and are good at finding food."

Maylene turned around to Riolu and Stufful, who were enjoying their Pokémon food.

"I’ll be counting on you later!"

"Riolu!"

"Stufful."

Ursaring were not only good at using their sense of smell to search for food. They could even find the highest-quality ingredients just by sniffing.

Stufful was also a bear Pokémon. Even if its sense of smell was not as developed as Ursaring’s, it should not be bad.

Among Julian’s six Pokémon, there were quite a few gluttons.

But there did not seem to be a single one especially good at finding food.

Julian looked at Eevee. As a little fox, Eevee’s sense of smell should be decent.

"Eevee, I’ll leave the important task of finding food to you two later."

Eevee raised his head and responded confidently.

"Veevee!"

Before setting off, Julian glanced at the time and said, "It’s eight twenty now. We’ll try to return to camp before eleven. Don’t be greedy, and don’t go too deep into the woods."

Maylene nodded.

"Julian, don’t worry. I’ll bring back a huge pile of ingredients for you!"

In spring, many wild vegetables grew in the mountains and forests.

Julian and Cynthia picked wild vegetables while the two Eevee excitedly ran around the forest, sniffing here and there.

Suddenly, Eevee excitedly raised his head.

"Veevee!"

Eevee ran back and circled around Julian. Julian stopped picking bracken.

"Cassia, let’s go see what Eevee found."

Following Eevee, they found a low-growing Berry orchard.

Quite a few types of Berries grew inside.

Just as Eevee wanted to bite an Oran Berry, an orange-yellow bolt of lightning struck the ground beside him.

Eevee was frightened and quickly retreated to Julian’s side.

"Bii!"

A plug-like shape on its head.

Arms spinning wildly to store electricity.

Yellow fur, with round black fur on its arms and back, and a black lightning pattern on its chest.

It was Elekid!

This Berry orchard should be Elekid’s territory.

Beside Elekid was a large leaf that had been set down.

There was quite a lot of spring water on the leaf. It was clearly water Elekid had brought back to irrigate the fruit trees.

Julian released Sirfetch’d and smiled.

"A battle might damage the trees, so how about we battle in that clearing over there? If you lose, let us pick some fresh Berries."

"How about it?"

Elekid spun its arms. Between the two plug-like horns on its head, pale blue-white electricity flickered.

The appearance of this electricity represented that the electricity stored inside Elekid had already reached its limit.

"Bii!"

Elekid walked to the clearing.

In the heart of Elekid, who was full of electricity, he was currently invincible beneath the heavens!

Sirfetch’d raised his longsword, his eyes burning as he looked at Elekid.

No matter who the opponent was, Sirfetch’d would fight with all his strength.

This was respect for his opponent and for himself.

Feeling Sirfetch’d’s heart, Julian nodded slightly.

"Sirfetch’d, Brick Break!"

Sirfetch’d charged at high speed, the leek longsword in his hand chopping down sharply.

Elekid grinned. Bright yellow lightning flickered around his fist as he met Sirfetch’d’s slash.

The instant his fist touched the leek longsword, Elekid’s expression changed.

A vast, overwhelming force came crashing down, directly crushing Elekid.

Elekid rolled backwards in a sorry state until he struck a large tree and finally stopped.

"Throat Chop!"

The leek longsword was wrapped in pitch-black energy, stabbing towards Elekid like a meteor from beyond the heavens.

Elekid had only just steadied himself against the tree. He gritted his teeth, and a wild yellow lightning dragon burst out from his body, charging fiercely towards Sirfetch’d.

The leek longsword pierced through the lightning dragon and knocked Elekid flying again.

Elekid landed in a sorry state. His trembling arms could no longer support his body enough to stand.

That white-feathered duck opposite him was so strong!

Even when he was filled with electricity, he was actually still not his opponent.

Julian smiled.

"Elekid, according to our agreement, we’ll pick some Berries. You don’t have a problem with that, right?"

Elekid finally managed to stand up and nodded while swaying.

"Bii!"

Elekid was not the kind of Pokémon that could not accept losing. Since he had lost, he would honour the wager.

Julian went into the Berry orchard and picked some ripe, fresh Berries.

Then he returned to Elekid’s side, took out Potion and said, "I’ll treat you a little."

Julian sprayed Elekid with Potion. Elekid shuddered, then felt his wounds become cool and soothing.

Julian then took a tin of Pokémon food from his backpack, placed it in front of Elekid, and opened it.

"I picked your Berries, so I’ll give you some food too. Try the taste."

Elekid grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, nodding continuously in satisfaction.

"Through that exchange just now, I noticed your lower-body strength is a little lacking. You can hold rocks and do running and jumping training."

Julian pretended to hold a rock and demonstrated the training movements for Elekid.

Elekid copied him, following Julian and learning.

After Elekid learned the movements, Julian found three rocks in the forest for him: small, medium, and large.

"Start by holding this smallest rock and jumping. When you feel it no longer burdens you, switch to this slightly larger rock."

Elekid ate one-third of the Pokémon food Julian had given him in one go. Feeling that his body had mostly recovered, Elekid picked up the rock and began training.

He could not wait to become stronger.

Julian smiled and shook his head. Cynthia looked at Elekid running while holding the rock and said:

"Julian, you want to catch this Elekid, don’t you?"

Julian nodded.

"That’s right. Having an Electric-type Elekid is very necessary for someone like me, who mainly raises Fighting-type Pokémon."

Cynthia stroked Eevee.

"Why not catch him directly?"

Julian smiled and said, "Elekid has put effort into this Berry orchard. If I take him away just like this, Elekid will definitely be unhappy."

After planting Berries several times in simulations, and at most seeing the seeds sprout, Julian could best understand how reluctant Elekid would be to leave this Berry orchard.

Cynthia nodded.

"Build a bond with Elekid little by little. When the bond between you and Elekid surpasses this orchard, that will be the time for you to catch him."
