Chapter 95: My Sense of Shame Is Worthless Compared to My Pokémon

Kukui made several more gestures, ending with a wildly silly pose.

This sequence left two people silent: Kukui and Luo Mu.

In contrast, Dragonite and Mimikyu instantly sparkled with bright, eager eyes—interested in the pose itself, and even more so in Luo Mu, who could perform it alongside them.

Faced with such hopeful expressions from the two Pokémon, Luo Mu felt cold sweat instantly rise on his back.

Don’t look at me with those glittering, expectant eyes!

He felt if he admitted he thought the pose was embarrassing, Dragonite and Mimikyu would definitely look hurt.

After receiving the Z-Move equipment, Luo Mu had been trembling at the thought of the inevitable awkward dance moment—but he never expected it to come this soon.

Between hurting Dragonite and Mimikyu or hurting himself, Luo Mu hesitated for a second, then sorrowfully chose to hurt himself.

What could he do? His Pokémon were just too adorable—

The full pose practice took less than ten minutes, and Luo Mu was confident his bond with Mimikyu was more than enough to unleash its Z-Move.

The only setback was learning that only Mimikyu could release the Z-Move; Dragonite, excluded, sat down heavily on the ground, weeping like a child.

Dragonite: ·()·

After Luo Mu painfully comforted it, Dragonite reluctantly accepted the option of following Luo Mu’s movements.

Well, after all, Dragonite was still just a child, less than a year old—some moodiness was perfectly normal.

Once ready, Luo Mu approached Kappu·Moomoo, about to announce he was prepared—only to find Kappu·Moomoo already awake, earnestly conversing with the squinting Mudsdale.

Kappu·Moomoo’s resting spot was carefully chosen: not hard, rigid stone, but soft, fertile soil thick with lush grass.

Mudsdale, somehow having bonded with Kappu·Moomoo, dug its hooves into the soil; the loose earth easily turned under its tough hooves.

As a flash of earthy-yellow light passed, the soil Mudsdale had turned became even softer, its gaps widening to enhance root respiration, while the Soil Tilling move infused it with richer nutrients ideal for plant growth.

After completing one Soil Tilling move, Mudsdale lifted its head toward Kappu·Moomoo, as if seeking its opinion.

Kappu·Moomoo first clapped its hooves together with a powerful, resonant sound, then flipped upside-down in midair, driving its thick ox horns into the ground and using the exact same “Soil Tilling” move as Mudsdale.

A brighter earthy-yellow glow flashed—once touched by Kappu·Moomoo’s Soil Tilling, the soil emitted a subdued, radiant luster.

Luo Mu and Kukui leaned in for a closer look: under Kappu·Moomoo’s Soil Tilling, the soil had transformed into a strange color like black pearls.

Kukui remained calm, but Luo Mu couldn’t hold back: “Black soil!?”

Kappu·Moomoo could directly transform the most ordinary soil into black soil—the very soil Luo Mu had known before his reincarnation, called the “Black Treasure,” the “most fertile land on Earth!”

Kukui scratched his head, unfazed: “Forgot to mention—since Kappu·Moomoo’s only hobby besides resting is using Soil Tilling all across Alola, this kind of soil is actually pretty common here.”

Luo Mu admitted he was impressed. No wonder Alola’s natural resources were so abundant—it was all thanks to Kappu·Moomoo.

Damn, I really want to steal Kappu·Moomoo and take it to my own farm.

“Moomoo, moo, moomoo!”

Kappu·Moomoo gestured wildly, explaining something to Mudsdale—but since it wasn’t speaking to Luo Mu, he couldn’t understand its meaning.

In the end, Mudsdale, looking thoughtful, used Soil Tilling again on nearby soil; though nowhere near as impressive as Kappu·Moomoo’s black soil, the result was clearly superior to the first batch.

Even Kappu·Moomoo nodded in approval.

Watching Mudsdale and Kappu·Moomoo interact, Luo Mu rubbed his chin and murmured: “They really get along well, Mudsdale and Kappu·Moomoo.”

Kukui, not catching it, asked: “What did you say?”

Luo Mu shook his head: “Nothing.”

At that moment, Kappu·Moomoo finally turned its gaze toward the two, tilting its head: “Moomoo?”

This time, Luo Mu understood Kappu·Moomoo’s meaning: Are you ready?

Luo Mu gave a slight nod. “We’re ready.”

Dragonite and Mimikyu also stared at Kappu·Moomoo with full battle intent.

Kappu·Moomoo gazed at them for a moment, then soared into the air. Backlit by brilliant sunlight, its gaze shifted from languid to heavy and serious. It raised its arms in a bodybuilder’s pose and let out a piercing, resonant bellow—Come at me!

Kukui wisely stepped back several paces. Mimikyu leapt from Luo Mu’s shoulder to the ground. Even though Dragonite couldn’t fight, it still held a battle stance, standing solemnly behind Luo Mu.

The commotion even reached the distant flower fields.

Led by Salazzle, Cutiefly, Wigglytuff, and a small, round silhouette hurried toward them.

Confirming Luo Mu and Mimikyu were ready, Kappu·Moomoo lifted its head and let out a loud cry; the golden bell hanging from its tail rang loudly as it swayed.

From Kappu·Moomoo’s center, emerald ripples spread rapidly. Within moments, grass and plants exploded into wild growth, bathing everything in a green glow.

Including Luo Mu and Kukui’s hair.

Kukui shouted a warning: “That’s Kappu·Moomoo’s ability, Grass Proliferator—it creates a Grass Terrain field around it, massively boosting the power of its Grass-type moves!”

Luo Mu didn’t respond, because—

Kappu·Moomoo shot forward like an arrow. Contrary to its heavy appearance, its flight speed was anything but slow. The golden bell on its tail glowed green as it delivered a powerful, direct strike—smashing straight down on Mimikyu!

Grass-type move: Wood Hammer.

Without letting Mimikyu dodge or resort to cheap tricks, Luo Mu waved his hand: “Sword Dance!”

His only goal now was to overpower Kappu·Moomoo with raw strength and make it willingly teach him both the Grass Terrain and Soil Tilling moves.
