Chapter 123: A Surprising Evolution

The next morning, Qiren's parents, who had driven over, finally arrived, accompanied by a teacher from Grandma Ju Zi Academy.

After returning Qiren safe and sound to his parents and informing them that his Wattrel was still receiving treatment at the Pokémon Center, Luo Mu mounted his Dragonite and flew back to the farm amidst the tears of Qiren's weeping mother and the silent gratitude of his father, who smoked cigarette after cigarette.

Approaching noon, Luo Mu and Dragonite successfully arrived above the farm.

At this moment, the Machoke Construction Team was working furiously in the fine sunlight; workers and several Machokes and Machops skillfully handled the timber brought by their large trucks, assembling it into a solid wooden fence that looked full of security after a series of construction steps.

From the sky, Luo Mu could see their general progress; they had now completely replaced the farm's fence, and the project in the lake area was also nearly complete.

Judging by their efficiency, it would take less than half a month, and the project should be finished in a few more days.

The foreman supervising the construction progress was the first to spot Luo Mu and Dragonite, followed by the other workers, Machokes, and Machops looking up into the sky.

The foreman waved at the sky and shouted, "Mr. Luo, you're back?"

Under Luo Mu's strict orders, Dragonite at least didn't cause any trouble; after landing steadily, Luo Mu smiled and said, "I saw it from the sky; the progress is very fast."

Rubbing his hard hat, the foreman laughed heartily, "In the Machoke Construction Team, there is only the term 'early delivery'; there is no room for unfinished projects or delays."

Luo Mu gave him a thumbs-up; it was precisely because the Machoke Construction Team was efficient and produced high-quality work that he frequently chose to cooperate with them, which was truly very worry-free.

"Then you all get busy; I won't disturb you."

Luo Mu waved his hand and walked toward the farm with Dragonite, when the foreman suddenly spoke up: "Please wait a moment."

Meeting Luo Mu's puzzled gaze, the foreman smiled cheerfully and said, "There is still a surprise waiting for you in your farm."

"Oh?"

Luo Mu was stunned; what surprise was waiting for him?

The foreman waved his hand: "You'll know once you go back."

Seeing that the foreman seemed to want to preserve the feeling of surprise and didn't intend to speak it out, Luo Mu didn't ask further and continued walking into the farm with Dragonite.

Watching Luo Mu's figure depart, the foreman recalled that streak of Bai Guang he had accidentally seen earlier, and the corners of his mouth curved upward slightly.

A Pokémon's evolution should be quite a big surprise for a Trainer; if a Machop in the construction team evolved, he would take the initiative to treat everyone to a meal.

A worker suddenly sidled over and whispered mysteriously, "Boss, what exactly is this employer's identity? The Pokémon he was riding just now should be an extremely rare and super powerful Dragon-type Pokémon, right? I remember it's called Dragonite?"

A look of obvious longing appeared on the worker's face; back in the day, his goal was to become a Dragon-type Elite Four member, but in the end, he only became a Bug Catcher.

Dragonite was a Pokémon linked with power and rarity; he once dreamed of owning a Dragonite of his own.

The foreman suddenly slapped the worker's hard hat and scolded angrily, "Scram, scram! Don't come asking me about the employer's information; even if he is a Trainer, or even one of those Champion-level Trainers who stands beneath only one person, what does that have to do with us?"

"Getting paid to do a job is only right; we only need to provide the best service and engineering quality! Our construction team relies on its reputation to eat!"

"Hiss, okay, okay, I won't ask, alright?"

The worker covered his head, which felt a bit dizzy from the slap, grimaced, and ran back to continue working with huffs and puffs.

The foreman was right; rather than worrying about who the employer is, it's better to do this job well to earn some milk powder money for the kids at home; work a bit harder, switch to Tapu Tapu Moumou fresh milk, and life will suddenly have something to look forward to.

"Woof-woof!" "Ollie!"

Before Luo Mu's eyes, two Pokémon with drastically changed appearances were excitedly calling out to him.

One Pokémon was about 0.5 meters tall; its entire body had changed from fermented dough to something like baked bread, with light-colored manes on its tail and neck.

Its body color was overall brown, while its tail, ears, and neck were layered like a gradient, shifting from brown to light orange, looking very appetizing (in terms of appetite).

It constantly emitted a very pleasant fragrance from its body.

The other Pokémon had transformed from a fruit-like appearance into a small green little person; it had grown tiny hands and feet, its leaves had become a small green skirt, and the olive on its head had split in two, emitting the fresh scent of olive oil.

Luo Mu exclaimed in surprise, "Fidough, Smoliv!"

In the few days he had been away, he hadn't expected Fidough and Smoliv to complete their evolution; so this was the surprise the foreman mentioned!

Luo Mu's eyes lit up as he patted the two evolved Pokémon all over; this surprise truly made him very happy.

"Bai Pengpeng!"

The three Bai Pengpengs surrounded Luo Mu, talking over one another about how the olives on the evolved Smoliv's head could spray out particularly delicious oil, and how Cangyan Cangyan Rengui had even used that oil to make them a barbecue meal.

Growlithe also held its head up with a mysterious pride; surrounded by Fidough, it looked as if it had accomplished some great feat, making one think it was the one that had evolved.

However, Growlithe did indeed accomplish a feat; after all, Fidough followed it around all day, so naturally, it would also come into contact with Moltres.

Fidough had been constantly influenced by the heat emitted by Growlithe and the heat of Moltres; once the bread was baked, it naturally completed its evolution.

"That's right!" As if remembering something, Luo Mu temporarily paused his bonding with the Pokémon he hadn't seen in a few days; taking advantage of everyone being present, he clapped his hands and said, "This time we have added five new partners; let me introduce them to everyone."

"Slo?" "Meow?" "Woof?"

Over a dozen Pokémon looked over with curious gazes.

Luo Mu first released two Meng Ya Lus; their nearly two-meter-tall figures immediately drew the attention of all the Pokémon, and the bold ones like the Bai Pengpengs had already surrounded the Meng Ya Lus.

The warmth from the farm left the Meng Ya Lus feeling overwhelmed and honored.

The appearance of the three Dragonairs then pushed the atmosphere to another climax.

Although the main team's Pokémon already knew them, Luo Mu still needed to introduce them to the Pokémon that had joined the farm in recent months.

"These are Dragonairs, the form Dragonite takes before evolving; they took care of Dragonite's Pokémon Egg for a long time, so they are considered Dragonite's godmothers; they possess the mysterious power to control the weather, so everyone must get along well, okay?"

Luxray and several other Pokémon had a deep impression of the Dragonairs, especially the shiny Dragonair leading the group, and greeted them one after another, while Wenxiang Wenxiang Kedou and the others felt an even closer affinity toward the Dragonairs.

Aside from the shiny Dragonair, their blue bodies clearly indicated they were Water-type Pokémon!

It was just unknown why the Water type disappeared after they evolved into Dragonites.

After all, since the Dragonairs had risked their lives to protect the Pokémon Eggs, they all possessed a maternal glow; after some back-and-forth, they became familiar with the baby Pokémon on the farm and directly used their long bodies to help raise the children.

Luo Mu felt gratified that they could integrate into the farm so quickly; in a place he couldn't see, when Wen Xiang Jun heard about the Dragonairs' special abilities, her eyes lit up slightly.
