Chapter 78: Grassy Terrain And Divine Skill
“The local Pokémon are so unsanitary!”
Charmander endured the pungent smell and then spat out a Spark.
The smell in the Tree Hollow wasn’t foul, but rather a very strong masculine Ursaring aura.
The Spark exploded instantly, precisely scorching every corner of the Tree Hollow.
If Lu Li were here, he would definitely give Charmander a big thumbs up; this Flame control ability was much stronger than his Flame Conjuring Technique.
After giving the Tree Hollow a dry clean, Charmander satisfiedly extinguished the Flame.
Although the smell was still there, it was much better than before.
“Fire~”
Charmander called out loudly to the outside.
Hearing the signal, Lu Li entered with Milotic, while Tropius stood guard outside.
The space inside the Tree Hollow wasn’t large, just about 5 cubic meters.
In the Real World, a Big Tree this size would be hard to find, but in the Pokémon World, such Big Trees were everywhere.
Lu Li first looked at the spot where Ursaring slept, confirmed there was nothing on it, then activated Spiritual Power Scan around the area.
Soon Lu Li found the place where Ursaring hid its treasure.
Arriving at the stone Plate where Ursaring slept, Lu Li single-handedly lifted the huge Plate.
Seeing this, Charmander’s mouth twitched slightly, then it silently looked away.
Although it had long known its own Trainer wasn’t quite normal, this was too abnormal, right?
A Plate weighing nearly five hundred pounds, lifted single-handedly by the Trainer—this could be a proper Trainer?
After the Plate was moved, its treasure inside was revealed.
Ursaring had quite a lot of treasure, but most were various Berries; these Berries might be hard to find in the Wilderness, but in the human civilized world, they were everywhere.
After moving the fruits away with Psychic, Lu Li found a jar of Honey at the bottom of the pit.
The Honey was contained in a hard fruit shell with its inner flesh hollowed out.
Lu Li roughly calculated that this jar of Honey was about two kilograms, with a market price around forty thousand.
For a Veteran Level Ursaring, it was undoubtedly pitiful; it was really doing too poorly.
If it were another Trainer, they really wouldn’t fight a wild Veteran Level Ursaring just for forty thousand.
Holding the idea that something is better than nothing, Lu Li still took the Honey and put it into his Backpack.
Just as Lu Li put away the items and was about to leave, he suddenly sensed something wrong.
After scanning again with Spiritual Power, Lu Li’s mouth curved up slightly: “These wild Pokémon are too sneaky, huh?”
Lu Li said to Charmander beside him: “Charmander, do you know Dig?”
Charmander shook its head directly.
Don’t you have any idea whether this dragon knows Dig?
“Give it a try, dig down there; there might be good stuff inside,” Lu Li encouraged.
“Fire~”
（Why do I have to do this dirty work?）
“Do you think Milotic is suitable?” Lu Li countered.
Charmander thought it made sense.
“Fire~”
（What about Tropius?）
Lu Li’s facial expression darkened as he asked: “Do you want to hear what you’re saying?”
At this point, Charmander also remembered Tropius’s limbs; Tropius didn’t have claws, its legs were more like elephant legs.
Thinking it over, it seemed like only it had claws in the team.
“Fire~”
（What’s the use of these claws?）
The depressed little guy jumped down and began trying to dig the soil with its claws.
After digging for less than a minute, Lu Li called to stop Charmander: “Come up first.”
Charmander, who didn’t want to dig anyway, quickly jumped out of the pit, while Lu Li used Psychic to grab a string of green things.
Tiny Coconut.
A special Seed that cannot sprout but contains massive Grass Type and Life Energy; rather than calling the Tiny Coconut a Seed of some plant, it’s better to call it an Energy condensate.
The Tiny Coconut is a Grass Type Secret Treasure; he had seen it before in that Time Doctor’s collection, but unfortunately, those Tiny Coconuts had lost their original power due to the long passage of Time and poor preservation.
But the Tiny Coconut in front of him was different; its Energy was still there, a genuine Pokémon Secret Treasure.
The Tiny Coconut doesn’t greatly improve Pokémon, even equivalent only to the boost from Flower Incense, but the Tiny Coconut has one extremely overpowered ability.
That is, Grass Type Pokémon can comprehend Grassy Terrain through the Tiny Coconut, though it depends on the Pokémon’s Comprehension and Qualification.
After all, it’s only a probability to comprehend, not guaranteed.
If all Skills had a rarity ranking, then among Grass Type Skills, the most precious and practical would undoubtedly be Grassy Terrain and Jungle Healing.
This World has no concept of Phantom Beast, so Jungle Healing can be called a Divine Beast Skill.
Grassy Terrain can be compared to divine skills, and its preciousness is self-evident.
In the Real World, the effect of Grassy Terrain is similar to the game description; during the duration of Grassy Terrain, Pokémon standing on Grassy Terrain receive continuous healing.
It also strengthens Grass Type Skills on Grassy Terrain, and besides that, Grassy Terrain has the effect of accelerating plant Growth.
After carefully putting away the Tiny Coconut, Lu Li confirmed multiple times there was nothing missed, then left the Tree Hollow with Milotic and Charmander.
Before leaving, Lu Li put Ursaring back in its Tree Hollow and even left some universal Energy Cubes.
This might become a long-term client, so it needed special care.
“Tropius, carry this carefully and see if you can comprehend Grassy Terrain from it.” Lu Li gave the Tiny Coconut to Tropius.
For Tropius, who aspired to be the world’s strongest Gardener, the Tiny Coconut was obviously the most suitable Pokémon Secret Treasure for it.
Even a Grass Gem couldn’t compare to the benefits from the Tiny Coconut.
Strength Improvement can come slowly, but a divine skill like Grassy Terrain is naturally better learned sooner.
In the Real World, the most precious aren’t those high-Power Skills, but rather weather and Field Skills; weather is okay since some Pokémon have innate weather Abilities.
But Field Abilities are different; those with Field Skills are basically Deities.
Tropius, having studied human Knowledge and majored in Berry planting, of course knew about the Tiny Coconut and that it could comprehend Grassy Terrain through it.
Grassy Terrain + Special Growth, it couldn’t even imagine how great that would be.
Thinking of this, Tropius nodded solemnly, then swallowed the Tiny Coconut.
Lu Li recalled Milotic and Charmander, then mounted Tropius again and said: “Didn’t expect to get a harvest so soon; let’s keep moving forward.”
“Same as before, we’ll Fly low to the ground for half an hour; if no gains after half an hour, we’ll have to rest.”
The flying Tropius nodded, then suggested again.
“Tropi”
（Should we add a Psychic Type Pokémon to the team?）
“Good idea, I think Metagross is pretty good.”
“Tropi~”
（Didn’t you say before you liked Gardevoir?）
“Ahem, Tropius, me daydreaming is one thing, but how are you joining in? Metagross and Gardevoir are beyond what I can aspire to now?”
