My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 208 Plant Growth Agent Type 1

"The weather is so nice!"

On the way, Tong Hua felt the summer morning breeze in Almia and couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed, sometimes you still have to go out alone to recharge yourself."

It feels so relaxing!

Tong Hua slowed down the car, letting the breeze brush against her hair.

The crucible for alchemy, as well as some basic tools, were already purchased at the charcoal shop.

In an attempt to create a spellbook, Tong Hua inquired about tanning leather and the copper ore needed to make copper enchantment ink. As a result, the kind shopkeeper simply gave Tong Hua a bag of it.

Now, the only material missing is the blood of all beasts.

In order to obtain this material, Tong Hua plans to go to Sunshine Ranch to ask Grandpa Yang for help and see if he can get some cow and sheep blood.

"I remember that some Pokémon need to suck blood to survive, like Zubat and Golbat."

If that's the case, then perhaps a blood donation industry will emerge specifically for breeding these kinds of Pokémon.

As Tong Hua rode her bike, she relaxed and let her mind wander.

After turning the last bend, the sign for Sunshine Ranch could be seen clearly in the distance.

It's really hard not to recognize that iconic sunflower monster.

Tong Hua stopped his bicycle at the entrance of the ranch and just then saw Grandpa Yang walking out of the ranch building with several sunflower monsters beside him.

"Grandpa Yang!"

"Oh? Tong Hua, what brings you here?"

Where are Tuotuo and the others? Didn't they come with you?

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tong Hua explained her purpose with some embarrassment.

Grandpa Yang laughed heartily after hearing this: "Is that all?"

Easy! Our ranch regularly gives our animals and Pokémon checkups, and we always keep various serums in stock. What do you need? I'll get you some.

Our village has many ranches, but only a handful of veterinarians. Without our own supplies, it's difficult to care for everyone on the ranches when they get sick.

As Grandpa Yang spoke, he led Tong Hua toward the warehouse, with several sunflower monsters hopping and skipping behind them.

The warehouse was filled with neatly arranged refrigerated boxes labeled with various labels. Grandpa Yang skillfully opened one of them and took out several tubes of clear liquid.

"This is Milk Tank's serum, and this is Tauros's—" Grandpa Yang introduced them with great familiarity. "By the way, which one do you want?"

Tong Hua carefully recalled the recipe requirements: "Cows, sheep, any creature with hair on its skin should work."

"That should be enough."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Yang laughed heartily, carefully wrapped the vials of serum, and placed them into Tong Hua's hands.

"Take all of these and use them. If you need more, come back to Grandpa." He patted Tong Hua's shoulder kindly. "Next time you come, bring Tuotuo and the others too."

I was originally planning to gradually entrust all the old buddies on the ranch to you, but now it seems my body can hold out for a long time.

Grandpa Yang flashed a toothy smile. His body was so strong today thanks to Tong Hua's cooking.

"Definitely, definitely." Tong Hua held the precious blood and returned the smile.

Now, all the materials for the Tanning Magic Book have been gathered.

Back at the ranch, Tong Hua happened to run into the charcoal shop owner who had come to deliver goods.

"Is it okay to just leave it in the kitchen?"

The owner kindly helped Tong Hua carry the crucible into the kitchen. Tong Hua quickly stepped forward to help, and together with the owner of the charcoal shop, they placed the heavy crucible in a corner of the kitchen.

This rustic copper crucible immediately adds a touch of mystery to the dessert shop. To be honest, this large object is quite suitable for the kitchen, and when paired with the surrounding exquisite baking tools, it looks just like a witch's house in a fairy tale.

"Thank you so much, especially for delivering it to my door." Tong Hua wiped the sweat from her forehead and sincerely thanked them.

-

The charcoal shop owner waved his hand sheepishly: "It was just a small favor."

After paying the full amount, Tong Hua saw the boss off and then couldn't wait to start setting up his alchemy work area.

"Terrifying?" "Wow?"

Foam Chipmunk and two Celebi curiously circled the cauldron. Suddenly, the pink Celebi remembered that it seemed to have seen something similar in its own world.

"Isn't this the exchange crucible for the bad frogs?"

Is it also used for exchanging equipment and items?

When Tong Hua heard Rabbi's question, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Pretty much, I'll demonstrate it for you in a bit and you'll see."

Thanks to working overtime last night, Tong Hua's dessert-making work was relatively easier today.

"call----"

Finally, a break came, and Tong Hua gently stroked the smooth inner wall of the crucible, feeling its unique texture.

Under the curious gaze of the Pokémon, Tong Hua began to organize the other alchemy tools.

He arranged the exquisite glass beakers on the worktable, inserted test tubes of various sizes into the wooden rack, and finally took out a set of gleaming silver balances.

He personally selected each tool, some of which were already in the kitchen and used for baking.

"Making a tanned leather magic book directly might be a waste of materials —"

"Why don't we make some simple potions first? It's all about mixing and crafting anyway, so consider it practice."

After thinking it over, Tong Hua opened the [Rule List] and glanced at the formula for Plant Growth Agent Type 1.

"Water Shards, Screaming Mushrooms, Mercury, and Rock Salt—"

Tong Hua scratched his head. Water Shards were easy to deal with; they could be replaced with water-type moves. Mercury and rock salt could also be found readily on the ranch, and even if they wanted to collect them, it wouldn't be difficult.

But this screaming mushroom—

"There are no monsters like those in the Pokémon world, so I wonder if we can use mushrooms instead—"

After thinking for a moment, Tong Hua took out a bag of dried shiitake mushrooms that was not yet used up from the kitchen cabinet.

These are all fresh shiitake mushrooms that the fairy tale adventure team picked from the back mountain. Because there were too many to eat at once, they were dried.

Next, Tong Hua took out a bottle of high-quality rock salt produced from the salt rocks and a broken thermometer, carefully poured out the mercury and collected it.

"Little Pink, Little Green, could you two please go and call Big Tail Pomeranian over here for me?"

If he's not here, let's call a raccoon dog over. We need them to use their water gun attack later.

""

"La-hua!"

The two shrubs immediately accepted Tong Hua's request and gracefully floated out of the window toward the pond in the pasture.

Meanwhile, Tong Hua took advantage of this break to begin preparing other materials.

He soaked the dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water, watching them gradually regain their plump shape, and then took them out at just the right moment.

As the raccoon followed the Celebi into the kitchen, wagging its tail, Tong Hua had already prepared many specially made small containers to dispense the prepared medicine later.

"Beep beep!"

Upon learning that Tong Hua needed to use the water gun move, the Big-Tailed Tanuki immediately fired it at the cauldron!

Clear water was poured into the crucible, while Tong Hua lit a fire to heat it and further processed the materials on the side.

He first placed the shiitake mushrooms and rock salt into a mortar and pestle, then ground them finely. With the aid of alchemy, these two ordinary ingredients began to undergo a wondrous transformation, emitting a faint glow similar to mushroom spores.

"Alright, alright! That's enough!"

Tong Hua quickly signaled the big-tailed raccoon to stop and carefully checked the water level in the crucible. The clear water surface reached the position he had marked beforehand.

"The water level should be at this line. Thank you for your hard work, Big Tail Porcini."

Tong Hua smiled and handed Daweili a dessert as a thank you gift. Daweili happily took the dessert and skipped away.

Seeing that the crucible had boiled and started to bubble, Tong Hua took a deep breath and began the formal preparation.

He added the weighed ingredients one by one into the crucible and stirred them with a long-handled spoon. With continuous stirring, all the ingredients were perfectly combined and gradually turned into a clear, light blue liquid.

"Meow?" "Huh?"

The Pokémon in the kitchen curiously gathered around Tong Hua, watching him stir the pot silently, as if he were completely absorbed in the work.

After a long while, as the last trace of impurity settled, the plant growth agent finally completed its final transformation.

Tong Hua removed the fire source and used a filter to filter the finished product into prepared small bottles for packaging.

[Plant Growth Agent Type 1: Quality E, a plant growth promoter formulated using alchemy.]

[Effects: Slightly promotes plant growth, enhances plant resistance to pests and diseases, and slightly restores soil fertility.]

[Evaluation: Initially, people only knew that this substance could slightly accelerate plant growth —]
