Chapter 142

Lei Jiluo Ke is transporting stones, placing stones of different shapes in the temple to imitate common furniture such as "tables, chairs, and benches".

Since it is a place for Pokémon to trade with each other, there must naturally be corresponding furnishings.

Placing four square stones and putting a flat stone slab on them forms a wide and large stone table.

Using two smooth stones as stools, placed on the four sides of the table.

Moving long-shaped stones to build a shelf, using mud as an adhesive, so a stone display shelf is ready. Although it is not exquisite, Lei Jiluo Ke is quite satisfied with it.

Stones can be carved into exquisite statues, or the original rough appearance of bumps can be retained. No matter which one, it can fully reflect the charm of stones, and different stones will also play their unique roles in different fields.

Lei Jiluo Ke thought of the sculptures made by Xiang Guangtai and felt that there should be more of those exquisite statues in the temple. The Rock temple should naturally place statues of Rock-type Pokémon, but not too many, so as not to overshadow the host.

"Lei Ji—"

As for goods, various evolution stones, precious ones, rare ones, delicious stones... besides these, what else is there...

Some Rock-type Pokémon gathered near the Rock Mountain ruins. They were attracted by the local conditions of the Rock Mountain. That feeling was quite wonderful. The Pokémon spread the word, and soon this news spread to a very far place.

Geodudes appeared at the entrance of the temple. The local conditions of the Rock Mountain made their hearts calm, and they felt very comfortable. The attribute energy in their bodies seemed to be growing slowly.

The H character on Lei Jiluo Ke's face flickered, seeing the Geodudes at the door who were hesitant to come in.

These Geodudes have a stinky and hard temper and are very rough. When they get angry, they will wave their fists non-stop, but now they have become very polite.

Unlike Graveler living near cliffs and mountain roads, they are distributed in forests, grasslands, deserts, and caves. Except for places near water, this Pokémon is everywhere.

"Lei Ji!"

Ah, welcome, welcome, you are the first batch of guests to come here!

However, the temple doesn't have any goods yet!

"One stone!"

The Geodudes had some fear of this Rock giant in front of them, but hearing Lei Jiluo Ke's words, they communicated with each other and seemed to have made some decision. They floated half-suspended, or could be seen as jumping away. The entrance of the temple returned to coldness, but not long after, these Geodudes returned, and brought many special stones.

"One~ stone!"

They expressed their willingness. They are not here to buy goods, but want to live here. These stones are the accommodation fees.

There are also trading behaviors between Pokémon, but when surviving in the wild, the instinct of struggle will make Pokémon tend to use battle to solve certain things, so trading phenomena only occur between relatively weak or non-warlike Pokémon.

Geodudes do not belong to Pokémon that are good at trading, but near this temple, the irritable part of their mood gradually faded, and they thought of using trading to exchange for accommodation.

"Sashali" Lei Jiluo Ke's characters flickered.

Of course you can!

Reached a happy deal with the Geodudes, and unexpectedly harvested... "Goods"?

The types of these stones are different, probably the "food" dug out by the Geodudes in various places.

In addition to berries, various qualities of stones are also food for this Pokémon. Different stones have different tastes. Many Rock Pokémon have the habit of eating stones or soil. For example, Geodude's evolution, Graveler, likes to eat stones with moss, eating 1 ton of rocks a day. And a Pokémon called Larvitar will eat up a piece of soil the size of a mountain before evolving.

Lei Jiluo Ke has some understanding of the habits of Geodude. After all, it lived with humans a long time ago. Ancient people would raise Geodude to transport some stone materials or use them to pickle vegetables.

It thought of the glowing moss on its body. This was originally moss transplanted by Xiang Guangtai so that Lei Jiluo Ke could move freely on rainy days. From the appearance, its style is already somewhat similar to its creator, Regigigas.

An exclamation mark seemed to appear on Lei Jiluo Ke's head. It let the Geodudes wait for a while, then took some stones with higher hardness, rubbed some glowing moss with its stone arms, and moved it to those stones.

These glowing mosses have been cultivated with special crafts and grow very fast. After falling on the stones, they began to grow. Rich vitality surrounded the stones. The Geodudes looked at this scene, and their eyes all lit up, and their gluttony was aroused!

Graveler likes to eat stones with moss, and Geodudes naturally like them too!

Moreover, after Graveler evolves into Golem, interesting things actually happen. It is said that the skin of Golem that has lived for a long time will be covered with moss and turn green.

The symbols on Lei Jiluo Ke's face flashed wildly.

Using glowing moss to make food that Rock Pokémon love... Wait, it originally wanted to open a small shop, how did it become a restaurant?

Forget it, this is also good, food is also a kind of commodity!

"Hush~"

When the Geodudes were gorging on the moss stones, new guests appeared in front of the temple.

A Sudowoodo. The appearance is similar to a tree, with five yellow spots on the abdomen. Each of its hands has three green fingers, like tree branches and leaf clusters.

When Sudowoodo came in, the first thing it liked was the glowing moss on Lei Jiluo Ke!

"Hush hush~"

Although it's the first time we meet, please, legendary giant, can you share some of the moss on your body with me? I will do anything!

Lei Jiluo Ke: "..."

Looking at Sudowoodo's appearance, Lei Jiluo Ke thought that there were still some large green plants missing in the temple, just like potted plants. Of course, it is impossible to plant trees in the temple. In human terms, it is called indoor greening.

"Lei Ji—"

If you want glowing moss, exchange it with something, just like trading.

Sudowoodo thought for a while, swung its arms, and ran away in a flash, and didn't come back until a long time later, holding a stone covered with red crystals in its hand.

Lei Jiluo Ke made a sound of permission, then picked some glowing moss from its body, but Sudowoodo felt that these were too few. Lei Jiluo Ke said it couldn't help it, it still needed these mosses. If it wanted more moss, it would invite the artisan outside the forest to cultivate it.

Moreover, if you cover your body with this kind of moss, you won't be afraid even if it rains.

Sudowoodo's expression was surprised. It looked at the glowing moss on its arms repeatedly, then looked at the large area of moss on Lei Jiluo Ke's body, and showed an envious look.

Having such good things is simply a gospel for Rock Pokémon who are afraid of rain!

However, the one who cultivates this kind of moss is not the giant, but the artisan outside the forest?

Sudowoodo was slightly startled.

At this time, one of the Geodudes among the Geodudes spoke. This Geodude's body was relatively round, which meant it had lived for a long time.

The artisan outside the forest is the human who recently appeared in the forest! It had seen it before, it was near Celebi's shrine, right!

"Lei Ji—" Lei Jiluo Ke told the Pokémon about the origin of the glowing moss and the mysterious artisan, which caused the Pokémon's surprise.

A human artisan who can make various powerful foods and cultivation props... Do humans have this ability?

"Lei Ji—"

That is a special human artisan, and his level cannot be measured by the eyes of ordinary humans. And he has also received the favor of the Forest God!

If you want to exchange anything from him, you can go to the workshop outside the forest to exchange it. If you are afraid, you can also come to the Rock Mountain temple, but you must give some stone materials as a fee.

The Pokémon looked at each other. Compared with communicating with humans, it is better to communicate with giants. After all, giants are also Pokémon.

Although there are many Pokémon and humans living together in the village outside, the habits and thinking of wild Pokémon and Pokémon living with humans are completely different... The Pokémon in the forest do not intend to change their habits because of this.

Of course, if Lei Jiluo Ke can communicate with that artisan, that would be the best!

Sudowoodo and Geodudes all want glowing moss!

Afterwards, the Geodudes jumped away to call their friends and relatives to approach the Rock Mountain ruins. Sudowoodo found a wall and stood still. If someone with bad eyesight looked at it, they would really think it was a large potted plant for greening.

As the night deepened, the Geodudes returned from visiting friends and relatives, and not long after, a powerful aura gradually appeared at the entrance of the temple, alarming Lei Jiluo Ke.

Covered in orange and gray, with a strange black left eye and a blood-red moon on its head, the huge bear walked into the Rock Mountain ruins on tiptoe, for fear of causing any misunderstanding this time.

However, Bloodmoon found that this ruin had been repaired!

The destruction I caused last time was repaired so quickly... Is this also the power of that human artisan?

"Lei Ji—!"

Guest? This guy is not good!

Lei Jiluo Ke and this Pokémon that had destroyed the temple in a muddle-headed way looked at each other!

The atmosphere suddenly became tense!

You guy, want to destroy my house again? Lei Jiluo Ke put on a posture of facing a great enemy, while Bloodmoon waved its hands in panic!

"Gaa chi!"

I'm not here to fight!

In fact, I'm here to ask for help... To show my sincerity, I also brought a lot of rare stones. Please, giant, please tell me the residence of the human artisan! I will do anything!

Bloodmoon begged, taking out some strange stones from its fur, but just after speaking, a sense of powerlessness suddenly struck, and it fell with a bang, smashing the stone table that Lei Jiluo Ke had just built into pieces!
