With just my own strength, I’d be swept back by the waves before reaching any significant depth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu rubbed his chin, recalling Kukui’s Pokémon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flareon, Brave Eagle, Venusaur, Lucario, Lycanroc (day form), and... Snorlax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them can swim—what gave Kukui the courage to cross the sea directly like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if remembering something, Luo Mu said seriously: “By the way, Kukui, while you were unconscious, I’ve been taking care of your Pokémon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kukui froze, confused why Luo Mu suddenly mentioned this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu smiled warmly: “Your Snorlax is quite impressive—great appetite, eats well, very healthy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kukui: “........”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few breaths, Kukui asked weakly: “Where are my energy blocks?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably lost?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu glanced at Dragonite behind him; Dragonite nodded knowingly and stepped out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Dragonite returned carrying a cleaned backpack and handed it directly to Kukui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kukui blinked, then took the backpack under Dragonite’s urging and opened it to check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Kukui exhaled slightly—he’d lost some items, but they were all consumables; the important ones remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the energy blocks he’d prepared for Snorlax, not a single box remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snorlax has an enormous appetite; if fed only ordinary food, each one needs over 400 kilograms daily just to avoid hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This terrifying appetite stems from Snorlax’s sturdy stomach and extraordinary digestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moldy food or even Sludge’s poison are digestible for Snorlax—in truth, if given nutrient-rich food, it doesn’t need 400 kilograms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy blocks are tiny yet packed with concentrated nutrition, making them the ideal food for Snorlax trainers to carry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Kukui had struggled these past few days to feed Snorlax while unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting the backpack away, Kukui looked at Luo Mu apologetically: “I’m truly sorry—how much food did Snorlax eat from your farm? I’ll pay full compensation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, after talking so long, I still don’t know the name of the one who saved me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu smiled: “I’m Luo Mu, an ordinary farmer. As for compensation—your Pokémon have been helping me with physical labor these past few days. Let’s forget about repayment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Snorlax eats a lot, after Luo Mu sent his Pokémon to retrieve a few high-energy foods from the wild, the feeding cost over two or three days was manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kukui felt embarrassed—Luo Mu had not only saved him but also shown such generosity. As someone from Alola, he felt he owed Luo Mu something in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he asked directly, Luo Mu would surely refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kukui thought for a moment, then outwardly accepted Luo Mu’s kindness, resolving to observe over the next few days of recovery what he could do to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, a small bowl of plain rice porridge was brought in; starving, Kukui lifted the bowl, ready to gulp it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragonite, left by Luo Mu to monitor Kukui’s condition, growled disapprovingly, reminding him to chew slowly—otherwise his stomach would suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kukui could only smile sheepishly and sip the bland porridge slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after drinking the bowl, his empty stomach still growled; to distract himself, Kukui asked Dragonite to open the window beside the bed and adjust his sleeping position so he could see the view outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the window, the first sight was the endless sky and boundless land; below, the most striking feature was vast, neatly arranged farmland divided by irrigation channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the fields had already been sown, and many figures were busy working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Luo Mu, whom he’d spoken with earlier, Kukui spotted his own Pokémon in the fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venusaur’s vines plunged into the soil alongside several Whitepuffs, enriching the earth; Lucario and Flareon skillfully dropped seeds into prepared holes; Brave Eagle and Lycanroc helped carry supplies—all orderly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, ignoring Snorlax fast asleep not far away, it certainly looked that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Further off, he could make out the outline of what might be a pond or lake, and a wide pasture filled with lush grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, the farm looked like it had just begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kukui’s Pokémon noticed his gaze and immediately paused their work, turning toward him in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his strength slowly returning after the porridge, Kukui cautiously raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It moved easily—no more weakness as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kukui slowly waved his right hand toward his Pokémon, his face beaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu watched every motion; seeing his own Pokémon work harder now that their Trainer had awakened, Luo Mu smiled. He’d likely finish the spring sowing in the farmland with Kukui’s Pokémon alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to hired laborers demanding wages, Pokémon that eat only a few mouthfuls and possess greater strength and stamina than humans were far more useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kukui’s Pokémon could work from dawn till dusk without pause—Luo Mu would never tire of his own Pokémon pushing so hard, but with Kukui’s, it was different.\u003C\u002Fp>",961,"2026-06-20T17:11:47.132Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c87926bef540c8bfae6bf0e243c25885d076b5598e440228c9cc83f55e895bba","pokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-chapter-79","pokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-chapter-77",695,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-cover.jpg"]
