Chapter 75: Potter And Berry Juice
The first day the Potters arrived in the territory, they hid in Ryan’s house, not daring to move.
After Ryan and the Pidgey and the others persuaded them, on the second day, the Potters finally dared to move around in the house cautiously.
Through the wooden windows and doors, they carefully observed the world outside, observing the lives of the other Pokémon here.
They witnessed firsthand how the human named Ryan took care of the few Pokémon by his side, and saw that every time he returned from outside, he would bring delicious berries for everyone.
Whenever this happened, the Pidgey and Pansear would happily run forward to celebrate together.
When it was time to eat, the Potters saw Ryan and these Pokémon gather together again to cook food and enjoy dinner.
After dinner, it was time to sleep.
At this time, Ryan and those Pokémon would squeeze onto the narrow bed and sleep embraced together.
This was a scene the Potters had never seen before.
So on the second day, the Potters could not help but become curious about the world outside the house.
Led by Ryan, they finally ventured out of the house with courage and wandered around the territory.
Along the way, the Potters saw many things.
They saw Snorunts playing with children, Magikarps swimming freely in the pond, Sandshrews working hard with the farmers, and Cherubis sunbathing in the Herb Garden.
Everything here was so free, so safe, and these Pokémon looked so happy.
It was as if there was no need to worry about not having enough to eat or encountering danger here.
“Potter…”
At this moment, the Potters were moved.
They also wanted to stay and live here!
Seeing that the Potters had made up their minds, Ryan immediately reported the matter to Lei Wen.
That morning, Lei Wen had someone build facilities similar to beehives with wooden boards in the Berry Orchard for the Potters to live in.
The design of the boxes was based on the personality and habitat of the Potter Pokémon by Lei Wen. It was divided into four layers, with one layer capable of housing one Potter.
Although the space was not large, it would give the Potters a greater sense of security.
Watching the eight Potters climb into their nests one by one, Lei Wen smiled and asked, “How is it, Potter, do you like it here?”
“Potter!”
The eight Potters poked their small heads out of the boxes and answered in unison.
Lei Wen smiled slightly and then pointed to the land, saying:
“By August, these fruit trees will have grown, and by then, each tree will bear many berries. You can eat as much as you want.”
Hearing this, the eyes of these Potters immediately filled with anticipation for that scene.
“However…” Lei Wen changed the subject, “We actually have a small favor to ask of you.”
“Potter?” Hearing this, the Potters turned their heads to look over.
“It’s like this, I heard that the berry juice you produce is delicious, and it can also help other Pokémon recover their stamina.”
“So, I would like to ask you all, could you help us brew some berry juice? We will provide you with berries…”
The Potters understood.
Brewing berry juice was a very easy task for them.
All they had to do was put the berries into their shells, and then, even when they were sleeping, the berries in their shells would automatically start brewing berry juice.
Therefore, the Potters happily agreed.
“Potter!”
“Alright, it’s a deal!” Lei Wen said with a smile, “In exchange, we will ensure your safety and provide you with plenty of food.”
The Potters immediately felt like they had made a great deal.
“Potter~!”
Because of this, they no longer had to worry about encountering danger or going hungry!
They felt like they had made a huge profit no matter how they thought about it.
But if that was the case, wouldn’t Lei Wen and the others be at a disadvantage?
The Potters were a little conflicted.
“Potter…”
But soon, one of the Potters thought of a solution.
“Potter!”
Since Lei Wen needed berry juice, they would just work harder to help brew it!
Hearing this, the other Potters also thought it was a good idea.
They immediately looked up at Lei Wen and said to him, “Potter~!”
Lei Wen couldn’t understand, but that didn’t affect his transaction with the Potters.
“In that case, it’s settled,” Lei Wen said.
“Potter~!”
Thus, with the Potters’ efforts, that evening, Lei Wen, Dratini, and Snivy drank the berry juice they brewed.
Hmm, it tasted sweet and sour, sticky, with a texture somewhat similar to yogurt…
It’s quite a good drink, and perhaps in the future, it could be considered a specialty product and sold to other towns, Lei Wen thought.
“Alright, Elif, it’s getting late, you should go back and rest too!”
“Yes, Prince Lei Wen, please take care of yourself.” Elif bowed and prepared to take his leave.
Just then, a sudden clamor came from outside.
Gasps, cries, excited shouts…
Hearing these sounds, Lei Wen was slightly taken aback: “What’s going on?”
The Old Butler shook his head, indicating he didn’t know either.
Seeing this, Lei Wen stood up and walked out of the Lord’s Hall with Elif.
As soon as they stepped out, they saw a large crowd gathered in an open space not far away.
So many people? Lei Wen couldn’t help but be a little stunned.
However, Elif seemed to recognize the people, his eyes widened, and he said excitedly:
“Prince Lei Wen! Geralt, it’s Lord Geralt!”
Lei Wen looked up and saw a tall, handsome, robust man with long silver-white hair leading an Axew towards them.
Lei Wen was slightly taken aback.
The man walked up to him, knelt on one knee, and performed a standard knight’s salute: “Your Highness!”
The name of this person immediately surfaced in Lei Wen’s mind.
Geralt!
The strongest knight by his side, the former commander of the Dragon Knight Order of the Aindook Kingdom!
“Geralt?” Lei Wen was a little surprised, but followed by immense joy: “What happened? How did you survive?”
“After parting ways with you, I fought desperately against those monsters. In the end, they let me go. I intended to find you, but I encountered others who were separated from you.”
“I led them to stay in a small village until Ai Wen found them not long ago.”
Geralt concisely recounted his experience.
“It’s good that you’re alright…” Lei Wen looked up at the crowd, glancing at his lord’s panel, and was shocked to find that the number of human citizens had soared from 78 to 299.
Some commoners found their lost relatives and friends among them, and at this moment, they were weeping in each other’s arms, recounting their experiences.
“Get up!” Lei Wen helped Geralt up and couldn’t help but look at the robust Axew beside him: “What about this monster?”
“I defeated it, and it has been following me ever since,” Geralt explained briefly.
Lei Wen: “…” A human defeated an Axew?
Lei Wen was somewhat shocked. Even though he knew that humans in the Pokémon World had special physiques, he still found it hard to believe when looking at the ferocious Axew in front of him.
But now was clearly not the time to discuss this.
Lei Wen glanced at everyone, then smiled at Elif and said, “Elif, go and prepare food for everyone. We must celebrate this reunion properly!”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
