The earth groaned in agony, shaking violently, and Fang Gu and the others nearly lost their footing.
Geodude has learned a powerful ground-based move: Earthquake!
Earthquake, a Ground-type move, causes a large earthquake, using the shockwave to attack all Pokémon around the user. If the opponent is in Dig mode, the move's power is doubled.
This skill has a power rating of 100 in the game, second only to the skills Cliff Sword, Hot Sand Storm, and Flying Pounce.
Cliff Blade is the signature move of Groudon, the giant beast that created the land in the Hoenn region.
Sandstorm is the signature move of Landorus, a Pokémon known as the god of farmland.
The "Sudden Rush" skill can only learn a maximum of four Pokémon, and using it will lower your own defenses.
While earthquakes are powerful, they do not have any side effects on the user; however, in doubles matches, they may accidentally injure a teammate.
However, as long as your teammate is a Flying-type Pokémon, you will be completely immune to earthquakes.
"Geodude, stop right now!"
Fang Gu gave the order, and the little fist stone that had been happily eating stopped. Looking around, it realized how much damage it had caused, and it was like a child who had unintentionally done something wrong, at a loss for what to do.
Riolu looked at Geodude with envy, realizing that it was indeed too late to start training!
If I had started digging potatoes as early as Geodude, maybe I could have learned earthquake skills too!
In terms of power and skill advantage, Earthquake far surpasses Digging!
However, Fang Gu doesn't think so. This is the real Pokémon world, and Dig, a skill full of strategic elements, has many ways to be developed.
Just as Fang was looking at the devastated environment around him with heartache, a new frenzy broke out in the live broadcast room.
That little geodeer probably learned to create earthquakes after eating potato pancakes!
[Yeah, where would you find a geode that can cause an earthquake?! It's unbelievable!]
[That hash brown is incredible, isn't it? How did they make it? Did they really use some kind of technology?]
[Pokémon League: Do not believe or spread rumors. There is currently no substance that can teach Pokémon moves after consumption. However, Elite Four member Shimizu from the Kalos region once created a dish that allowed Pokémon to learn moves during a cooking competition.]
[Official admin, I was wrong. I promise I won't say anything carelessly again.]
Looking at the message on the screen, Fang Gu said frankly, "I did add some things."
[Pokémon League: ???]
Even the official account couldn't help but ask three question marks this time.
Dude, are you really that eager to slap me in the face?
My face isn't so easy to slap.
The account that previously claimed Fang Gu had joined the technology company has resurfaced.
[I knew it! He must have used cheats! Officials, ban him immediately!]
Fang Gu shook his finger. "I never said I added any technology to the hash browns. What I added to the hash browns was love, my love for Pokémon."
"And Pokémon learning moves is also a way of repaying me for this love."
Fang Gu, without batting an eye, played along with the show's entertainment value.
This time, the entire live stream chat couldn't hold back anymore, and countless "hahahahaha" comments flooded the screen.
Even the official account couldn't help but leave a comment for Fang Gu.
Pokémon League: 6
Watching the number of viewers in the live stream steadily increase, Fang Gu felt somewhat disheartened and waved at the screen.
"Alright, let's stop broadcasting here for today."
"I'll post the hash brown video on this account later."
Goodbye, everyone!
Seeing the numerous viewers instantly turning on the screen and spamming "Gaia" in Fang Gu's live stream, Fang Gu smiled slightly. He turned it off instantly; what could they do about it?
"I'm so tired." Fang Gu stretched his back.
But in reality, he only dug up the first potato today; he spent the rest of the time doing other things.
Fang Gu recorded what skills the remaining Pokémon learned after eating the potato pancakes.
After the two baby ducks finished eating the potato pancakes, they shook their heads and flicked their wings, but instead of feathers, they flung out clumps of mud.
It's a skill of playing with mud.
This skill seems to be the only skill that baby ducks can learn.
Once used, it will make a muddy mess everywhere, which can affect Electric-type Pokémon's ability to use Electric-type moves, thus reducing the power of Electric-type moves.
For a Water/Flying type Pokémon like Duckling, which is 4x weak to Electric, it doesn't really matter whether the power of Electric-type moves is reduced or not.
If you just give me a 100,000-volt burst, I can just lie there and be done for.
What else can I say?
However, this trick is quite good for playing mud fights. Now the two ducklings are having a great time, covering each other in mud.
A series of "ga ga ga" laughs echoed in the air.
They are all Water-type Pokémon, and when the time comes, they can use the Water Gun move to clean each other's bodies, so Fang Gu will just let them go.
As for the remaining Pokémon, Froakie, like a ninja using hidden weapons, has learned the move Spikes. This move lays down a patch of invisible spikes on the battlefield, and every time the opponent switches, anyone who picks up a spike will be impaled by the spikes.
Fang Gu felt that the little sheep had learned the stomping skill because it was getting impatient while waiting for Lance and Peter to arrive, and wanted to stomp its feet, which is why it learned this skill.
Stomp, a Ground-type move, isn't very powerful, but if it hits, it's enough to slow down the opponent. If I had had this move when I fought Miltank earlier, I might have been able to stall for even longer.
However, in the end, they will still lose.
It seemed that Peter and Lance arrived late, drawn by the call of their steed, the little lamb.
As soon as he arrived, Peter complained to Fang Gu, "We arrived quite a while ago, but there was a sudden earthquake that sent our cars into the ditch."
"It took us a lot of effort to get it done."
Just now? The earth shook violently?
Geodude silently turned away and scratched its stone face guiltily.
Chapter 124 Selling Potatoes
Fang Gu, of course, did not betray Little Geomancer. He simply laughed and, while putting his arm around Peter, changed the subject.
After all, if I hadn't fed Geodude Potato Cake, or had reminded Geodude and other Pokémon about the effects of Geodude Potato Cake beforehand, this probably wouldn't have happened.
"Mr. Fang Gu, I see digging marks all over the ground. Where are the potatoes that were dug up?"
Lance asked anxiously, as it was almost time for his Starlight Restaurant to prepare the food, and the most important ingredients were still ready. He was getting really worried.
Fang Gu pointed to the side, where there were piles of things covered with cloth, as high as small mountains.
"Isn't that it?"
what?
Lance and Peter looked at the tall pile of things, and he thought they were large-scale harvesting machines imported from Stardew Valley Ranch.
You told him these were potatoes?
Fang Gu gestured to the frog standing to the side, and the latter wisely removed the cloth covering the potato mountain.
Three potato mountains, piled together and nearly three meters high, appeared before Peter and Lance.
"This, this, this..."
Lance stammered when he saw so many potatoes, "Starlight Restaurant doesn't need this many potatoes at all."
"Isn't Peter here? Otherwise, why would I have called him over?"
"Besides, I also really like eating hash browns, so I also keep a batch of potatoes for myself."
Fang Gu smiled. The bumper potato harvest was just a small step for Stardew Valley to become great again and mega again.
Peter gave a wry smile. "I finally wanted to take a break before the holiday, but it looks like I'll have to go out and do business again."
Peter usually sells his harvested crops in shops in nearby towns, but the towns around Fang Valley have so many potatoes that they can't possibly eat them all, so they have to be taken to Biyi City to sell.
However, given the current potato prices, Peter will make a significant profit from this batch of potatoes.
"I'll take this batch of potatoes. As for your batch and Lance's batch of potatoes, that's a separate transaction for you two. I won't play any role in it."
Peter had made a prior agreement with Fang Gu that, although the deal was made through Peter's introduction and in his shop, Fang Gu originally intended to give Peter a commission or a referral fee.
But Peter waved his hand and refused, saying that Fang Gu and Lance were his friends and it was just a small favor.
And Peter also has such a large quantity of potatoes to make money from.
A gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way. Peter firmly believes that his approach will allow his business to last longer.
Fang Gu had no choice but to agree, and then turned to Lance and said, "I have already prepared all the potatoes that Starlight Restaurant will need today. You are too late, so I have already sent my mount, Little Sheep, to deliver them to Starlight Restaurant."
Just minutes before Peter and Lance arrived, the little lamb had already set off towards the Ancient Moon Bird Formation, and at its speed, it should be arriving soon.
"That's good. Amy will definitely take good care of the potatoes."
Amy is also a resident of Crescent Moon Town and works part-time at Starlight Restaurant.
According to the gossipy Peter, she was a cute girl with short blue hair.
Fang Gu had an idea. He put his arm around Lance and brought a potato pancake he had made to Lance's mouth.
"Give it a try, Lance."
"These are hash browns I just made this afternoon. Try them and see how they compare to those at Starlight Restaurant."
Lance's eyes lit up with surprise as he tried a bite. "Mmm! I even think our hash browns are better."
Lance was telling the truth. Fang Gu's potato cakes are made from giant potatoes, so the quality of the raw materials is even better.
"Here's the thing, I created an account on the Douyin platform, and I just showed my viewers some of the hash browns I made during a live stream. They all wanted to try them, but I'm a rancher after all, and I have a lot on my plate, so I can't take care of so many people."
"Could I lead people to the Starlight Restaurant? You guys specialize in this and have much more experience than I do."
"Haha, of course! I don't know how to thank you enough." Lance smiled broadly.
