Chapter 953: Melomele Garden, the Swallowed Weakling Fish
Melemele Garden, located in the northern part of Melemele Island, near Route 3, is a beautiful sight of yellow flowers in full bloom.
If you're looking for golden nectar, this is undoubtedly the most likely place to go.
Therefore, Xiaozhi and Mao decided to come here early in the morning to look for yellow flowers for survival. However, due to the unsuitable season, at a glance, there was no flower to be seen, and no trace of Pokémon was found.
Even though they knew they could wait until next year to collect the golden nectar and let the Phantom Alola Cream Stew wait, but since they were already here, Xiaozhi decided to lead Mao to search around.
Unfortunately, their efforts did not yield much reward. Finally, the two decided to try to use a sweet scent to attract Dafa.
Sweet Bamboo tried its best to release its sweet fragrance, and it succeeded in attracting the Pokémon hidden in the garden. Among the many Pokémon, they finally found the figure of Flower Bird.
"Look, it's a flower-dancing bird!" Mao pointed excitedly to the front, and saw a flower-dancing bird in the style of a snapping bird flying from the depths of the garden and circling around the sweet bamboo.
However, when the sweet bamboo stopped releasing its fragrance, the flower-dancing bird immediately regained consciousness and quickly flew towards the southwest of the garden.
Xiaozhi and Maou saw this and chased after it without hesitation, following the flower bird all the way until they came to a hidden cave. They passed through the cave and entered a valley surrounded by high mountains.
Deep in the valley, a magnificent waterfall came into view, and next to the waterfall, a small cluster of golden flowers was in full bloom. The flower-dancing bird landed lightly in the flowers, happily sucking the golden nectar, and at the same time dancing a vigorous cheerleading dance.
"We found it! Golden nectar! We really found it!" Mao was so excited that she almost jumped up, her eyes sparkling with ecstasy. The phantom Alola stew she had always longed for was finally going to be realized.
Just as Mao was cheering, a red flower dancing bird in the style of Hot Hot also landed in the flowers, and a golden flower dancing bird in the style of Pa Zi Pa Zi also started dancing in the flowers.
These two flower-dancing birds performed completely different styles of dance among the flowers, but their movements and postures appeared unusually harmonious.
Then, the hot-hot-style red flower-dancing bird began to taste the golden nectar. As the nectar was digested, its body gradually changed, and its originally bright red feathers gradually turned into golden yellow.
Finally, it also turned into a flower dancing bird in the style of PaZiPaZi!
Now, two snapping-style flower dancing birds are dancing happily among the flowers.
Suddenly, Xiaozhi's body flashed blue, and he immediately turned his head to look at Mao beside him, "Mao, you go collect the golden nectar first, I'll go over there and take a look!"
"Hmm, huh?!" Mao just came back to his senses and saw that Xiaozhi had already left with Hoopa and the others. "Really! Forget it, let's collect the golden nectar first!"
----------
At the other end of the valley, there was also a secret passage. Xiaozhi and Hoopa walked in without hesitation.
The light in the passage was dim, but after walking a few steps, the front suddenly became open. Xiaozhi's eyes lit up and he finally reached the end of the passage.
What appeared before him was a beautiful bay. The azure blue sky and the turquoise water complemented each other, the beach was gleaming with golden light, and there were several small islands dotted in the distance.
He immediately realized that he had come to the famous scenic spot in the Alola region - Karawei Bay. This place is known as one of the 100 most beautiful sights in Alola, and it really lives up to its reputation.
However, the beach was not peaceful at the moment. A huge sand-eating beast was seen rampaging around and attacking the Slowpokes on the beach. The poor Slowpokes were frightened and fled everywhere, and were finally forced to the edge of the surrounding rock wall.
Xiaozhi frowned and concentrated, using the power of waveguide to sense the situation of the Sand Devourer. He soon found the problem. It turned out that the reason why the Sand Devourer was so irritable was because there seemed to be something hidden in its stomach.
Xiaozhi acted decisively and shouted to Hoopa, "Hoopa, suppress it!"
Hoopa heard Xiaozhi's order and immediately activated his superpowers to freeze Sand Eater in place. Sand Eater struggled to break free, but was suppressed by Hoopa's spiritual aura, making it unable to move.
Xiaozhi stepped forward and quickly activated the power of Tokiwa. Sand Castle felt Xiaozhi's kindness and strength, and his originally violent emotions gradually subsided, and his body stopped shaking.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi was delighted and immediately ordered: "Now, Meloetta, use telekinesis!"
As he finished speaking, the petite Meloetta quickly appeared in front of the Sand Devourer's big mouth. She stretched out her tiny hand and exerted her powerful telekinesis.
Under the influence of Meloetta's telekinesis, a small fish with a body of light gold and blue flew out from the castle-like head of the Sand-Eating Castle Lord.
Xiaozhi caught it immediately and looked at the fish in his hand. He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Is this a squid? And it's shiny!"
Xiaozhi immediately understood why the Sand Eater had become so irritable. It turned out that it had swallowed this rare Shiny Weevil. According to the description in the illustration book, the Sand Eater has the habit of swallowing small Pokémon and absorbing their vitality, but whether this is true requires further research. However, the facts before Xiaozhi made him more trustful of this statement.
However, surprisingly, the unique shining characteristics of this shiny weakling fish did not absorb the vitality of the Sand Eater. Instead, it caused the Sand Eater to suffer so much that he triggered a riot.
As the pain dissipated, Sandburger became unusually cheerful. It excitedly thanked Xiaozhi, then set off a sandstorm, quickly dived into the depths of the beach, and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, the shining weakling fish was full of gratitude and gently rubbed Xiaozhi's arm. Xiaozhi smiled and put it back into the shallow sea, admonishing: "Little guy, be careful next time, don't get swallowed again!"
However, at this moment, the shining weakling suddenly jumped out of the sea and rushed straight towards Xiaozhi. Xiaozhi was quick-witted and immediately hugged it tightly in his arms. He understood its intention and asked softly: "Do you want to go with me?"
Shiny Squid nodded in response excitedly. Although a single Squid was not as strong as Magikarp, Xiaozhi always respected the choice of every Pokémon. So, he took out the Poké Ball without hesitation and successfully captured the Shiny Squid.
[Weakling fish (alone) (flash)]
[Gender: Male]
[Attribute: Water]
[Features: Mutated fish school (can gather surrounding water energy and transform it into a school of fish. When HP is lower than 25%, the school of fish will fall apart)]
[Strength: Elite Early Stage]
[Moves: Water Gun, Surprise Attack, Salt Water, Shout]
After seeing the attribute panel of the Shiny Weakling, Xiaozhi immediately found something wrong, "mutated fish school"! The characteristic of this Shiny Weakling turned out to be a mutant fish school!
Originally, Xiaozhi was thinking about whether he should capture a large number of weaklings, but now that is not necessary. This little guy can transform into a school of fish only by gathering a large amount of water energy.
This made Xiaozhi realize that he had picked up a treasure. You know, the racial value of the fish-like weaklings has already reached the level of legendary beasts.
Thinking that the Weevil Fish needs to gather a large amount of water energy, Xiaozhi suddenly had a bold idea!
