"Miao Miao is jealous."
"Meow!" [No, not at all!]
"Woo!"
Riolu then asked how he could truly train the strength in his hands and arms.
At the same time, it can also remain flexible.
Riolu regularly trains by attacking wooden stakes, but recently it seems to have reached a bottleneck and it's difficult to improve any further.
Think about it again. As for Fang Gu, who might be the hero he's supposed to be, he might have some novel training methods!
With the idea that if you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way, Fang Gu reached out and gently pressed Riolu's arm.
Fang Gu was stunned when he pressed it; Riolu's forearm muscles were as hard as steel!
Fortunately, no matter how much training a Pokémon undergoes, it can't become a super-muscular creature.
Otherwise, Riolu, with its cute dog head, has a monstrous physique beneath its neck, and when it tries to charm you, its large pectoral muscles twitch.
That's absolutely terrifying.
Clearing his mind of all the random thoughts, Fang Gu said mysteriously to Riolu, "Riolu, have you ever heard of humans imitating animal moves, like the Scyther Fist or the Infernal Roar Tiger Fist...?"
"These are all moves that humans learned by imitating the instincts of animals."
"So if you also unleash your true nature, you might become more flexible and powerful."
Riolu's eyes revealed a look of longing.
Tell me quickly!
Riolu said, its tail wagging rapidly.
"Puppy Pokémon use their natural claws to paddle, right? There just happens to be a potato field in the ranch where you can get some exercise."
"As long as the potatoes you dig out are intact and undamaged, it's a successful workout."
Fang Gu said these words without batting an eye, while thinking to himself at the same time.
"It's a human who lies to puppies!"
Chapter 117 Bonds? That'll cost extra!
Even an eight-year-old girl like Fang Xiaolu could tell something was wrong when faced with such a lie.
Riolu let out a "woof" sound, pricked up its ears, and clasped its hands in a fist salute to Fang Gu!
I will definitely unleash my true nature and not let the brave down!
His confident demeanor dispelled Fang Xiaolu's initial suspicions.
Could it be that my brother's words really have an effect?
Fang Gu put on an expression that suggested he was a promising student, his hands trembling slightly with guilt.
Riolu, you're so well-behaved, I can't bear to lie to you.
Fang Gu then patted his work clothes.
"It's alright, Riolu."
"I will always be by your side and 'train' with you."
Riolu nodded solemnly. It's time to train hard!
…………
In fact, Riolu could have easily discerned the truth or falsehood of Fang Gu's statement by using the power of the Aura to detect Fang Gu's mood.
But Riolu didn't want to do that.
Now that you've decided Fang Gu is your hero, you must remain loyal to the very end!
Riolu hates suspicion the most!
Even if dog-paddle training is ineffective, it can save Fang Gu's time to teach himself real skills.
Working for Stardew Valley Ranch is Riolu's way of showing his loyalty!
Since the hero deeply loves this land, Riolu declares—
Me too!
…………
Back in Fanggu's farmland, he found that the entire potato-digging process was carried out in an orderly manner.
The Pokémon participating in the potato digging were all assigned their respective tasks.
Bulbasaur [Geosphere Armored Version] is responsible for digging up potatoes and throwing them onto the edge of the field.
The frog throws out the foam from its neck, which gathers into a huge carpet that effectively prevents potatoes from breaking when thrown to the ground.
Bulbasaur was so engrossed in digging that it was just leaving potatoes lying around.
This caused the frog to occasionally throw out foam to wrap the potatoes, making its neck appear somewhat "bald".
The monster Absol is responsible for using the sharp blade on its head to cut the potatoes attached to the potato plants.
The job didn't seem too strenuous, and Absol lay gracefully on the ground, looking quite relaxed.
It looked so elegant that Fang Gu couldn't resist going up to it and taking a deep breath of its fur!
As for the ducklings, they weren't idle either. Fang Xing took some potatoes and used a small water gun to wash the soil off their surfaces.
However, potatoes washed like this are not easy to preserve, and these are the potatoes that the Starlight Restaurant needs tonight.
Since the ranch happened to have Water-type Pokémon, I helped them wash their Pokémon.
Lance, who hadn't arrived yet, kept thanking Fang Gu over the phone.
The correct way is to put these potatoes in a sunny place so that the soil on the potatoes will dry out and can be easily peeled off.
The Pokémon in the farmland created a harmonious and heartwarming scene.
Fang Xing handled all the coordination work for these Pokémon by himself, and Fang Gu proudly raised his chin.
Perhaps his younger brother has the talent to be a conductor.
As for Lijia and Bawanghua, these two, who are not under Fang Xing's command, don't seem to be here to reap the rewards.
They came here to have fun, on the contrary.
Lijia held a large potato in her hands, smiling as she looked at the small potato in Bawanghua's hand.
"You lost, you tyrant!"
The two are comparing whose potato chunks are bigger.
It's clear that Lijia won.
But how could Vileplume, a Grass-type Pokémon, not sense the vitality of the earth?
Potatoes with strong vitality naturally grow larger.
Therefore, it's hard to say who will be the winner this time.
Seeing Li Jia's smile made Ba Wang Hua feel like she hadn't lost either.
Looking at the smile on Lijia's face, Fang Gu was also unconsciously influenced, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Now I can confidently entrust the nectar to Lijia," Fang Gu thought to himself.
Back in the fields, Meowth successfully found its job, using its telekinesis to place the potatoes that Bulbasaur threw out onto a foam blanket one by one.
This way, we no longer need to bother the frogs to wrap each one in foam to catch them.
The amount of foam is really friendly to frogs.
"Cuck!"
Frog squinted and gave Meowth a thumbs up.
Let's say—Good cat!
Miao Miao remained expressionless, only slightly curving the corners of her mouth.
Miao Miao was secretly pleased, but didn't say anything.
Fang Xiaolu recorded all of this, just waiting to publicly execute Miaomiao later.
"Woo!"
Riolu was filled with excitement about the upcoming training. Seeing that half of the farm had already been cleared by a combination of Bulbasaur and Geodude, some thoughts began to form in his mind.
Is that the hero's starter Pokémon? It definitely has a unique aura about it.
And the fact that they could come up with this method to train two Pokémon at once is simply incredible!
I, Riolu, am not content to be second to Pokémon!
Riolu roared, its body glowing with orange Fighting-type energy, and its size increased by a dimension at a visible speed.
It's a bodybuilding skill from the fighting style!
Riolu put in all its effort to dig up the potatoes.
Riolu kept its head down, and with a whoosh of its arms, countless clods of soil tilted behind it.
Standing behind Riolu, Frog wiped its face, which was covered in dirt, and exhaled a ring of yellowish-brown smoke.
Riolu uses Sand Attack on Froakie! Accuracy decreases! Rage increases!
Throwing sand at you isn't very harmful, but it's extremely insulting!
There is no need to endure it anymore!
The frog hopped onto the farmland and dug up the potatoes with its bare hands, deliberately sending dust towards Riolu.
Riolu, focused solely on training, could only think to himself.
Damn it, is another guy trying to steal training resources (the land where potatoes are buried)?
We must work twice as hard!
