Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

Therefore, when Tomiko saw the two of them using their powers without any staffs, she was only surprised that they were superpowered, and even had healing superpowers. She wasn't too surprised.

Moreover, although Elena and Ilya healed the injured Kentauros with healing magic, Tomiko's anger subsided.

First, he apologized to Kitagawa Yu, saying that he shouldn't have lost his temper with Kitagawa Yu without understanding the situation. Then he introduced himself and invited Kitagawa Yu and the others to visit the town inhabited by the Lami tribe.

Kitagawa Yu readily agreed.

After all, their main goal right now is to travel and explore. Because of the different flow of time, even Artoria is not in a particular hurry to level up her little dragon.

However, Kitagawa Yu soon discovered that the Lami town was not as unique as he had imagined. Compared to other cities, it was probably only different from Tokyo and Kyoto, except that there were more Japanese-style buildings.

"We Lalamos people are different from typical Pokémon trainers and breeders. We release our Pokémon back into nature, allowing them to thrive freely in their natural environment. That's why our Pokémon are usually much stronger than those in the city!"

Tomiko enthusiastically showed Kitagawa Yu and the others around the town while introducing them to the Lami tribe.

Many passersby and vendors along the way would greet Tomiko when they saw her, which made Chizuka curious about Tomiko's identity.

"Hehe, actually I'm just an ordinary member of our Lalamo tribe, but my little fire horse is very powerful, it has already helped me win the championship in several festival competitions~"

Tomiko rubbed her fingers on the tip of her pen, explaining with a mix of embarrassment and pride. Her adorable expression immediately brought smiles to everyone's faces.

"By the way, our celebration this year is in two weeks. If you'd like, you can stay and join us!"

"Let's forget about that. We need to improve our Pokémon's strength as soon as possible to prepare for the upcoming Indigo League." This time, Chizuka politely declined Tomiko's invitation without Kitagawa Yu even having to say anything.

After all, half a month is just too long.

With that much time, they could have explored the Wild Area, Pikachu Forest, and the Grand Canyon.

Moreover, after touring the town and seeing its environment and so-called unique features, they had little expectation for the Lara American festival.

"I see." Tomiko said, slightly disappointed.

Although it was only a brief encounter, she really enjoyed being friends with the sunny and cheerful Chizuka.

"By the way, do you sell or buy Pokémon here?"

Kitagawa Yu then spoke up, deliberately changing the subject from the festival. Such events should be left to Ash and Pikachu, the main characters.

"Yes," Tomiko nodded and said.

The wild Pokémon reserve only prohibits unauthorized poaching. To put it bluntly, the Pokémon here are actually free-range animals raised in the wild by the Lami people, and are considered their property.

It's like renting out a whole building specifically to house Pokémon, like Professor Oak.

Thanks to the care of the Lalamo people, the incidence and mortality rates of Pokémon here are very low. Therefore, in order to maintain resource and ecological balance, it is natural to sell some Pokémon to the outside world.

"Do you sell Ponyta? Of course, Flame Horse is fine too!" Artoria couldn't help but ask as soon as she heard that.

On her way to the town, she had witnessed the amazing speed and stamina of Tomiko's little Ponyta, which made her realize that Ponyta had such great potential to be tapped. This made her even more optimistic about collecting a batch of Ponyta or the evolved Rapidash, so that she could bring them back to Camelot and give them to her Knights of the Round Table to enhance their strength.

"Yes, there are some, but not many. After all, the breeding ability of baby horses is not very strong, and the price is probably not cheap compared to the outside world," Tomiko explained.

Upon hearing this, Artoria merely frowned slightly before relaxing her brow again.

If the Ponyta here is priced the same as in the city, then even if she sold all the Pokémon she had caught in the past two days, she probably still wouldn't be able to afford just one.

However, the wild-raised ponytails of the Lalamoa tribe, regardless of speed, should at least be superior to those in the city in terms of endurance and disease resistance. This undoubtedly saves them the time of training, making them a worthwhile purchase.

"Can we go take a look first?"

"Of course~"

Tomiko then led everyone to a shopping street that specializes in selling Pokémon, where there were noticeably more tourists than in other places.

After all, the Pokémon bred using this Lalamove breeding method are indeed more powerful.

"Oh, Tomiko's here. Are these your new friends?"

"Yes, these are all friends I just met. I brought them here to see them."

"Alright, then show them around as you like."

Tomiko first greeted the shop owner, and then led Kitagawa Yu and the other six around the shop with practiced ease.

Soon, the group followed Tomiko to the area where baby Ponytas were sold. Although Kitagawa Yu and the others didn't know much about horse judging and couldn't tell much difference by looking at their size and muscles, they could still sense that the baby Ponytas sold here were much stronger than the ones that Artoria had been raising for two days and had gone through more than a dozen battles.

This is understandable, as these little pony babies have experienced plenty of battles in this free-range environment.

"150 million yen each? That's not too expensive."

Neither Kitagawa Yu nor Artoria thought the 150 million yen price tag for the Ponyta was expensive. After all, the Ponyta produced here could indeed be used as a means of transportation. For example, Tomiko usually rode the Ponyta to patrol the reserve.

In a world where intercity transportation is not well-developed, having a little fire horse to ride would be so much more convenient.

However, they really don't have any money!

"Then, if I want to sell my Pokémon, where should I do it?" Artoria asked.

"Over there, come with me."

Tomiko then led everyone to another area.

Unlike other areas that are bustling with tourists, this place is deserted and looks very quiet.

"Uncle, these are my friends. They want to sell Pokémon."

The middle-aged man, who looked to be in his forties and was slightly overweight, rubbed his eyes and stood up after hearing this.

"Selling Pokémon? Then bring out your Pokémon."

Unlike other places, the Lalamo people are truly loving towards Pokémon. So even for ordinary Pokémon, such as Rattata or Pidgey, they will buy them and release them after confirming that they have learned to survive in the wild. They let them roam freely in the protected area or leave the protected area altogether.

This also made Kitagawa Yu and his companions greatly admire the Lami people.

Chapter 219 Elena's Plan

Of course, Kitagawa Yu won't hold back when it's time to fleece someone, otherwise where would he get the money to buy Ponyta and Charmander for Artoria?

"Two Squirtle cost 800,000. Three Butterfree cost 400,000. One Poliwag costs 250,000."

"Huh? Are we selling these two Primal Monkeys and Bulbasaur too?"

"Then let's say 250 million."

With a total of thirteen Pokémon, selling them all would just be enough to buy three Ponyta. This would give Artoria four Ponytas, bringing her one step closer to arming her Knights of the Round Table.

However, with so many little fire horses, leveling them up is undoubtedly a problem.

"How about we go and beat those Tauros again? Or find some other Pokémon to train with?"

"."

Seeing Artoria's eager expression, Kitagawa Yu suddenly felt that this was not the Artoria he knew.

"Let's forget about it. After all, the Pokémon here are all free-range by the Lalamo tribe. Knowing this before taking action would be like trespassing on someone else's ranch to hunt."

After a pause, Kitagawa Yu continued, "We'll rest here for one night and leave tomorrow. After we leave the protected area, there are many places suitable for us to grind monsters and level up."

Then, Tomiko personally taught Artoria how to better care for and raise the little horse.

Believe it or not, there's a lot to learn here. For example, what kind of plants are best to feed baby pony in the wild, and how to combine them to ensure nutrition, etc. This is much more complicated than the feeding method they originally thought would be any kind of grass.

After experiencing Lalamo vegetarian cuisine with Tomiko, which was all-natural, green and organic but tasted rather ordinary, Kitagawa Yu and his group rested comfortably at the hotel for one night and set off from the town early the next morning.

Of course, before parting ways, he gave Tomiko a crystal pendant sealed with a one-time healing magic spell that could instantly heal common injuries like sprained ankles.

Fuko stared at the pendant for a moment, stunned.

She looked up at Kitagawa Yu's handsome face again, and a slight blush rose on her wheat-colored cheeks.

"Okay, I'll accept it then. Have a safe trip! Be sure to come visit me again sometime!"

Perhaps because there are too few people her age in the town, Tomiko really hopes that Kitagawa Yu and the others can come here to play with her more often.

"Most definitely!"

Kitagawa Yu agreed with a smile, after all, he planned to earn enough money before coming back to help Artoria purchase Ponyta.

But Tomiko seemed to have misunderstood something; her hands were burning hot, her heart was racing, and she was somewhat absent-minded for the rest of the day.

As a result, during the afternoon patrol, he accidentally fell off the little horse and twisted his ankle.

The healing magic activated automatically the next second, and a beam of green light flew out from the crystal, instantly healing her ankle and relieving her of her pain.

However, if this happens, when Ash and the others arrive here and she is ambushed by Team Rocket hired by Dolph, she will probably have no choice but to ask Ash to take her place in the festival competition, just like in the story.

Feeling embarrassed to continue grinding and leveling up on the Lala's territory, Kitagawa Yu and his group traveled quickly, each riding a small fire horse, and arrived at the edge of the Lala's territory in just over two hours.

"Look! What a huge group of Kangaskhan!" Chizuka suddenly exclaimed.

They had initially thought finding the group of Kangaskhan would be a bit troublesome, but they hadn't expected to run into them so easily.

In the distance, on a vast grassland, hundreds of marsupials were leisurely eating apple-shaped fruits they had picked from somewhere, basking in the sun.

If it weren't for their enormous size, averaging over three meters tall, they would look almost exactly like retired senior citizens in a park.

"More than a hundred Kangaskhan! Defeating all of them would be enough for Charizard to evolve into Charizard, right?" Artoria looked at the group of Kangaskhan in the distance and immediately showed an excited and eager expression.

Although there weren't as many Kangaskhan as the Tauros they encountered yesterday, each one provided significantly more experience. If Charizard could defeat them all on its own, the experience gained would definitely be enough to push it to level 36 or higher and allow it to evolve into Charizard.

However, given Charizard's strength, it clearly couldn't handle so many Kangaskhan at once. Even if it fought them one by one, it would only be able to defeat two or three before running out of stamina.

At this rate, it would probably take ten days to half a month to defeat all of these Kangaskhan.

the most important is

"It seems that half of this grassland is still within a protected area. It looks like we need to lure them out of the protected area before we can take action," Kitagawa Yu said, frowning after looking at the map.

He remembered that in the story, Team Rocket wanted to capture Kangaskhan, but Officer Jenny, who was in charge of this area, came and drove it away with Ash and his group.

Although they weren't afraid of Officer Jenny, they didn't want to become wanted criminals like the Rockets.

After all, he plans to visit this world often.

“Then I’ll use hypnotic magic to lure them out of the protected area?” Elena suggested.

That's one way to do it, but how do we solve the efficiency problem?

"How about we do it again, like last time, and have Gyarados unleash a tornado to combine it with Charmeleon's Flame Vortex for a combo attack?"
