Chapter 74 Slowpoke's Tail

It was a sunny day,

Yosuke and Yamada kept moving forward in the forest.

"Eh?" Suddenly, Yamada saw something and shouted to Yosuke: "Yosuke, look, it's Slowpoke!"

Yosuke looked in the direction Yamada pointed, and saw a pink Pokémon putting its tail in the water by a small river on the left, as if fishing.

"I didn't expect there was a Slowpoke nearby."

Yosuke's face was delighted, it seemed that he could have a feast at noon today, really good.

Slowpoke's tail and Farfetch'n are both known as the two most delicious ingredients in the world. However, unlike Farfetch'n, Farfetch's tail is allowed to be eaten.

Farfetch'n tastes extremely delicious when eaten with specific plants, that is, the plant stems they always carry in their hands. Before the Alliance issued relevant protection laws for it, humans cruelly killed many of them for food, so there are very few Farfetch'n in the world.

The Alliance stipulates that Farfetch is a protective Pokémon. Once someone is found eating Farfetch, they will be severely punished and will track down who caught and sold it.

However, the tail of Slowpoke is different. Its tail will fall off naturally, and only this part is delicious. Naturally, humans do not need to treat Slowpoke like Farfetch. They only need to eat its fallen tail.

Even if you forcibly cut off the tail of Slowpoke, it will not be so delicious. According to research, it may have something to do with the physiological structure of Slowpoke.

However, Slowpoke's tail is often pulled off. It is so dull that it can't feel the pain. Its super-fast regeneration ability allows it to grow a tail quickly.

If you see a Slowpoke in the wild, follow the path it came from to find the location of its tribe, and you can find a lot of fallen tails.

After all, Pokémon like Slowpoke are very slow to react, and they will ignore the tails that fall off.

However, it is not always so lucky. The frequency of Slowpoke's natural tail shedding is not high.

If someone had discovered this tribe before you, he would have taken it away.

As for the tails of farmed Slowpokes, they are not as good as those in the wild, and the taste is also much worse. The price is not that high, so you can still afford it.

Before, Yosuke and Yamada had eaten the tails of farmed Slowpokes in a hotel in Cerulean City. The taste was already very delicious, but I don’t know how the tails of wild Slowpokes are?

“Let’s go and take a look.” Yosuke said to Yamada, and then walked towards Slowpokes.

When Yosuke walked in front of Slowpokes, it was still turning its head to look at its tail, waiting for the tail to be immersed in the water and emit a sweet smell to attract some food.

“Sure enough, it’s a bit stupid.” Yamada walked over and touched Slowpoke’s head with his hand and said.

“Ah~” At this time, Slowpokes reacted, looked back at Yosuke and the others, and then turned his head to look at his tail.

“Let’s go and find out if there is a Slowpoke tribe nearby.” Yosuke said.

"Yousuke, do you want to subdue Slowpoke?" Yamada asked with some curiosity.

"If there is a good one, we can subdue one, but what I want most now is to see if there is a Slowpoke tail that has fallen off naturally nearby." Yangjie said.

If he encounters a Slowpoke with good qualifications, Yangjie still doesn't mind subduing it, but it is not so easy to meet a Slowpoke with good qualifications.

"Yes, the tail of Slowpoke?!" Hearing this, Yamada also realized that the tail of Slowpoke is very delicious.

The two followed the traces of Slowpoke walking all the way and soon found the vicinity of its tribe.

Pushing aside a small bit of bushes, Yangjie and Yamada observed quietly.

As for breaking in directly, although Slowpoke is really stupid, it will not show mercy to those who invade its territory.

Of course, with the strength of this Slowpoke tribe, Yangjie is not too worried, but it is better not to cause trouble if it can, anyway, what he wants is the broken tail that Slowpoke doesn't want.

Luckily, this was a small group of six Slowpokes. Four or five tails that had fallen off naturally could be vaguely seen on the grass at the edge of the river.

They were completely different from the several tails next to them that were obviously pulled off.

"Back off." Yosuke whispered to Yamada, and then the two retreated directly to the back.

"Come out, Frog." Yosuke released Frog.

"Yobo!"

"Frog, go over there quietly and get the tails that fell off from the Slowpokes. Be careful not to disturb the Slowpokes." Yosuke said to Frog.

"Yobo!"

Frog nodded slightly after hearing this, and then quietly entered the river.

In less than a minute, Frog came back, and it came back with four tails.

"Well done!" Yosuke smiled and praised, "Four tails are just enough for all of us to share."

Looking at the time, it was 11 o'clock in the morning. Unknowingly, Yosuke and Yamada had been walking in the forest for a whole morning.

"Let's find a place to taste the tail of Slowpoke." Yosuke said.

"Great, I haven't eaten the tail of wild Slowpoke yet, I wonder how it tastes." Yamada said happily.

Finding an open space, Yosuke took out the kitchen utensils and started to cook the tail of Slowpoke, which was actually just boiling it.

Because other cooking methods will destroy its natural taste.

After preparing the staple food for the six elves, the next thing to do is to wait quietly.

As time passed, the fragrance of the tail of the Slowpoke cooked in the pot gradually began to spread.

"Wow, it smells so good! Is it Kokodora, Squirtle?" Yamada stayed beside the pot and smelled the fragrance coming from the pot.

"Kamei Kamei!" "Coco, Coco!"

Squirtle and Kokodora also said in response.

Not only Squirtle and Kokodora, but also several of Yosuke's elves stared at what was cooking in the pot.

Yosuke twitched his nose, it was indeed very fragrant.

"Yoji, it's almost done, it should be ready to eat." Yamada said to Yosuke.

"Why are you in a hurry? Good food is never too late!" Yosuke said, and at the same time looked at the tail cooking in the pot, it was indeed almost cooked.

"Yamada, give me the eight lunch boxes." As Yosuke said this, he took the tail out of the pot and cut it into eight pieces with a knife.

"Okay, everyone come and have a taste." Yosuke put the food in eight lunch boxes.

"Great, we can finally eat it." Yamada said happily, and immediately started eating: "It's delicious!"

Yoji took a bite, hmm! It's tender and chewy, full of freshness and fragrance, and the aftertaste is very unique. It really lives up to its reputation.

The six elves also sighed happily, this thing is so delicious, and then buried their faces in the plate.

After quickly finishing the food in front of him, Yoji suddenly felt that other things seemed to have lost their appeal. It was so satisfying.

After eating, recalling the taste just now, he secretly made up his mind that he must check more for tails when he encounters the Slowpoke tribe in the future.

"It's really delicious, Yoji, how about asking the mosquito frog to see if there is any left just now?" Yamada said to Yoji.

"Yobo!" The mosquito frog on the side heard what Yamada said and immediately looked at Yoji, his eyes full of hope.

"If you want to go, go!" Yang Jie looked at the look in the eyes of the mosquito-smelling frog and said directly.

"Yo Bo!" The mosquito-smelling frog hurriedly ran to the place where he had taken the tail of Slowpoke before.

"Come on, mosquito-smelling frog." Yamada cheered from behind.

"Okay, although it tastes delicious, is it that serious? Hurry up and pack up. After the mosquito-smelling frog comes back, we will start training the elves. We will set off early in the afternoon and try to get to the Masahiro Lighthouse before tonight." Yang Jie said.

"Okay!" Yamada replied.

After a while, the mosquito-smelling frog came back. What Yang Jie didn't expect was that the mosquito-smelling frog actually found five more tails, but unfortunately, three of them were defective at first glance.

"Okay, mosquito-smelling frog, I'll keep these for you to eat in the afternoon. Let's start training now." Yang Jie took the tail from the mosquito-smelling frog and said.

"Yo Bo!" Hearing that he could still eat in the afternoon, the mosquito-smelling frog began training with great expectations.

"By the way, whoever has the best training effect today will eat more in the evening." Yang Jie raised the tail in his hand and said to the elves.

In an instant, the eyes of the elves were full of fire.

In the next few hours, every elf trained desperately.

"Yoji, you are really good. You can also stimulate the elves to train like this." Yamada said to Yoji.

"There is no way. It won't be long before we can reach Vermilion City. If we don't train well, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get the fourth badge." Yoji said.

"Ah? If you think it's difficult to get, then I have no chance, right?" Yamada said with some surprise.

"Yamada, instead of worrying about the fourth badge, you might as well consider what kind of elf you want to capture next. You know, starting from the fifth gym, the challenge is 3V3. If you don't capture the elves early and cultivate tacit understanding, you won't even have the opportunity to challenge at that time." Yoji said to Yamada.

"I don't know which elf to capture? Kokodora is the descendant of my father's Boskortora, and Squirtle was obtained from Professor Oak. It's really a headache for me to choose." Yamada said with some distress after hearing this.

"Forget it, I'll see if I can find any good elves to recommend to you then?!" Yosuke said to Yamada.

After all, he accepted the gift from Yamada's father, so Yosuke still planned to take care of Yamada.

"Great, Yosuke, I believe in your vision. The growth rate of each of your four elves is not slower than that of my elves, and they are even stronger. It shows that your vision is accurate." Yamada said to Yosuke.

"Okay, the elves are almost trained, let's get ready to go!" Yosuke said.

"Okay!"
