Pokémon: My Bonds has a big problem

Energy cubes can be said to have the highest energy density among all Pokémon foods. A high-quality energy cube, such as the ones that Xiaokong made for Ange, can fill even a king-level Pokémon. The rest of the Pokémon food is just to satisfy some diverse taste needs.

Even these are not necessary, because the energy cubes made by Xiaokong taste quite good.

So when in the wild, Ange only needs to cook her own meals and leave some extra food as snacks for the Pokémon. Because the Pokémon don't need the food Ange makes to replenish their energy, they only need Ange's food as a snack in their spare time, just like half a watermelon or a small bag of spicy noodles when watching TV series in the summer.

For such energy cubes, Ange usually only needs to give them one every two days. This is the appetite of Mew. Gengar only needs one every two and a half days. This is not because its strength is only half a day's energy difference from Mew, but because it has a good appetite.

Squirtle only needs one piece every five days, while Onix only needs one piece every four days.

Of course, this is the minimum amount given. Ange usually gives one every two days, because Pokémon need energy to practice. Mew doesn't need that much. It needs more meditation, digestion of energy, and strengthening itself. It doesn't have a fixed path, and its current priority is to become stronger.

Nuan Nuan Pig is obviously an exception among exceptions. It can swallow a month or two's worth of food.

During this time, he also ate countless berries, more Pokémon food than other Pokémon, and even Ange's rations.

It can eat, and it won’t get fat no matter how much it eats…

It will only get stronger.

Ange was silent for a moment, then looked at Nuannuan Pig and said seriously: "Nuannuan Pig, use all your strength. Use the jet of flame."

"warm?"

Nuan Nuan Pig looked at Ange with some doubt. It had never been so strong before, and had never used its full strength in such a situation. Once the energy was consumed, it would enter a state of hunger again, and then feel uncomfortable and weak.

But...it was willing to trust Ange, the person who really didn't care about his appetite and even gave him the rice in his bowl.

"warm!"

Nuan Nuan Pig used all four hooves to press down on the ground, with a serious expression on his face. Powerful energy burst out instantly. Flames began to appear at his feet, then spiraled upwards and rushed straight to the roof.

Ma Zhishi was shocked for a moment: "Deal with that Nuan Nuan pig first."

However, it was too late.

"warm!"

"Bear!!!!"

The flames shot up into the sky, and the dark clouds in the room brought by the rainy day skill were burned away in an instant. The accumulated water on the ground turned into white mist and evaporated in an instant.

Ma Zhishi and Ange both felt their skin tighten and their lips crack.

The raging flames rushed towards Ma Zhishi like an out-of-control demon.

Ma Zhishi could not see anything else. All he could see was flames.

The flames roared as if to burn the sky.

Chapter 202: Shadows

To outsiders, it seemed like something big had happened at the Dead Leaf Gym.

A huge column of fire broke through the roof of the gym, and then like a sharp sword, it slashed forward, setting the entire ceiling on fire.

Miss Junsha, Miss Joy, and the free trainers nearby all headed towards the Dead Leaf Gym.

They all wanted to find out what happened to the Withered Leaf Gym. No one could suppress their curiosity about such a big thing. And it was not just curiosity. A town's gym was almost equivalent to the ultimate military support for the town. If this military support had problems, they really had to be careful at this stage.

However, when they arrived at the entrance of the Withered Leaf Gym like moths to the light, it was raining above the Withered Leaf Gym, extinguishing the flames and leaving behind a devastated scene.

But even so, after talking to Ma Zhishi on the intercom, the guard at the door only invited Miss Junsha to come in. And soon after Miss Junsha entered, she came out to help evacuate the crowd.

Soon, the outside of the gym returned to its former tranquility. Only those who still wanted to challenge the gym could not help but sigh.

After all, given the current situation, if nothing unexpected happens, the gym will have to rest for a while. Their challenge plan can only be adjusted temporarily. They want to challenge the next gym, or stay in Vermilion City for a while, anyway, Vermilion City is not short of places to play. But the expenses here are not necessarily affordable for every trainer.

Inside the Dead Leaf Gym, Ma Zhishi looked at the destroyed gym in front of him, and then looked at Ange's feet, jumping up and down and looking very excited. Of course, Ange's expression looked similar to his, at most he was a little less confused than himself, but they were all equally surprised.

"It seems that you don't understand the power of your Pokémon well enough."

Ma Zhishi walked forward from the front right of Ange.

He was originally standing opposite Ange. But when the flames came, he immediately put away his two Pokémon and ran to the other side very swiftly.

Frankly speaking, among the existing Heavenly Kings, there are still a few Fire Heavenly Kings. But none of them can make Ma Zhishi feel so powerless when he uses his true ability.

He was a member of the Unova community, and he had seen the power of Adek in the Unova region. The Unova champion at that time was still accompanied by the Vulcan Moth. Ma Zhishi had seen this kind of sky-high pillar of fire, this powerful flame, only once from him. And only that time.

He really didn't expect that Ange actually had such a trump card.

Ange did not answer Ma Zhishi's question immediately, but used her superpowers to sense the current situation of Nuannuan Pig. The flame was still burning, but it had changed from a large bonfire to a small brazier.

Just like when Ange first saw it.

Obviously, it doesn't feel hungry in this state.

But this little guy is already looking for food.

Ange first bent down to comfort Nuannuan Pig, then took out an energy cube and fed it to Nuannuan Pig.

After getting food, Nuannuan Pig finally became a little quieter.

Ange raised her head and said to Ma Zhishi: "Indeed, I don't know enough about Nuannuan Pig's strength. I was also shocked."

"I'm sorry for the damage to your gym. I'll pay for it."

Ma Zhishi also raised his head again and looked at the ceiling with a big hole in it. Praying for rain is used in fantasy, and the effect is very good.

There was no need to worry about the electrical appliances in the gym short-circuiting or anything like that. After the destruction of the pillar of fire, there were no intact power lines left.

However, Ma Zhishi just shook his head and said, "You don't need to pay for it. The alliance will naturally allocate additional funds for repairs. After all, this is the damage caused by the gym challenge, not the damage caused by my own experiment."

As for the losses caused by the battles between trainers and gym owners, the League is not so stingy as to ask the trainers to compensate, or ask the gym owners to pay out of their own pockets.

After all, this is an action to screen talents for the league. Whether it is asking talents or mainstays to pay out of their own pockets, people will feel dissatisfied.

Ange also nodded, expressing her approval of the situation.

"If the alliance pays, I won't be polite to you."

"You're welcome."

As he spoke, Ma Zhishi picked up the orange badge that Ange had put down from the ground: "Now, you can take it. You defeated me, and you deserve it."

Ange took the orange badge, then blinked and said, "Shouldn't there be another battle?"

Everyone played doubles twice, and Ma Zhishi only sent out one doubles combination.

Ma Zhishi shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "Stop joking. Do you think I can come up with a second set of king-level Pokémon? If I could, I wouldn't be the leader of the Withered Leaf Gym. I can always find a place for the Four Heavenly Kings."

Ange was a little surprised by Ma Zhishi's frankness. But soon, he smiled and said, "You are indeed an interesting person."

Ma Zhishi, a rough-looking man, is actually a very thoughtful and meticulous person.

Every gesture of kindness he made was just right. It didn't make people feel flattering, but it also made people clearly feel the goodwill he was releasing.

And they are very honest. Honesty and sincerity can easily become jokers if they are played alone at any time. But if they are combined with other things, such as companionship, time, and strength, they will become king bombs.

Ma Zhishi is a capable guy. His honesty is also a very valuable thing.

"Anyway, you did surprise me. Frankly speaking, if this trick is kept secret long enough, even if it can only be used once, it will be enough to replace a champion's trump card."

Ma Zhishi glanced at the little warm pig and did not feel the fluctuating energy from it so obviously.

Obviously, this move is not to be used casually. At least it is definitely on cooldown at the moment.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as it can be used again, that’s enough.

Ma Zhishi also believed that if this move could really only be used once, Ange would definitely not waste it on himself.

Because the orange badge isn't worth it.

"As for the results of this battle, I will announce to the public that we accidentally hit some electrical equipment during the battle. In this case, the alliance will still bear the cost of repairs, but I will be reprimanded."

Ma Zhishi looked at Ange and said, "This way, you can continue to hide this move."

Ange nodded seriously and said, "Thank you very much."

………………

Ruiyao Company in the United States

"Chairman, we have found the whereabouts of the Nuan Nuan pig."

Chapter 203 Planning

"Finally found."

The so-called chairman was a middle-aged man who looked not very old. He had light gray hair, but his face was wrinkle-free. He was wearing a well-fitting suit and had a pair of gold-rimmed monocles on his right eye.

After hearing the news, the man relaxed a lot, and his expression became more relaxed, but he still looked very serious.

"Where did you find it?"

He followed up with another question.

"In Kanto, Chairman. The group of guys we were looking for last time who claimed to be the core remnants of Hunter J were arrested in Kanto. If nothing unexpected happens, our target is also in the Kanto area."

The subordinate said to the chairman very seriously. The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Then keep looking. No matter how much it costs, we must find that Nuan Nuan pig back."

"This is the result of our hard work. It must come back to me."

At this point, the middle-aged man's eyes became much more fierce: "If it can't come back to me, then you have to find a way to get that bead back to me."

"In short, our research results must not be discovered by others."

The subordinate nodded and said, "Understood, Chairman, your order will be fulfilled."

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, and his expression became calm again, as if the anger just now had never appeared.

"Who are you going to find to do this job?"

"Hunter Z, Chairman."

The subordinate replied: "Only hunters would accept this kind of work. So we found Hunter Z, who was away from the big incident and suffered almost no damage, to help us carry out this mission."

The middle-aged man nodded again: "Hunter Z, who was unknown and distrusted back then, seems to have become a big shot in the hunter circle now."

"Of course, after all, the nominal strongest hunter Hunter A has been killed. And the actual strongest hunter Hunter J was captured by the alliance and is under strict supervision."

"Among the hunters who participated in the 'big event', Mr. X from Fengyuan and Mr. Z from our Hezhong were the parties involved. They quickly gathered the remaining forces of the other two parties."

"Hunter J's tail is too big to be eliminated. Although many were devoured, there are still some remnants who left X's management area with precious heritage."
