Chapter 46
Mysterious Surprise! Leftovers?!

Watching Shi Yi’s Pokémon eat so deliciously,

The drool of this group of wild Pokémon once again flowed down.

“Da!”

One of the little Rattatas immediately turned back to its home.

It seemed like it went to fetch a collection.

The other wild Pokémon also turned back one after another.

About a few minutes later.

These wild Pokémon appeared once again.

Each Pokémon was carrying something different.

“The thing you’re holding is... a bottle cap?”

Shi Yi took a bottle cap from a little Rattata’s hand and took a look.

Based on the information printed on it, this bottle cap seemed to be quite rare.

But unfortunately

“I’m not Kojiro, I’m not interested in bottle caps.”

Shi Yi shook his head and returned the bottle cap to the little Rattata in front of him.

The little Rattata looked troubled, but soon, it took out a second thing.

A red fruit that had been nibbled on?

“Good heavens... you’re trying to exchange your leftovers with me?”

Just as Shi Yi was feeling speechless.

He suddenly discovered something.

【Leftovers: When carried, the Pokémon’s HP will slowly recover during battle.】

...

“Damn! It’s actually leftovers?”

Shi Yi looked at the nibbled fruit in the little Rattata’s hand in shock, feeling a sense of excitement like he had found a treasure.

This is a good thing.

It’s not even sold on the market.

Only some wild Pokémon will carry it.

It’s a very useful battle item.

In some high-level Pokémon battles, if the strength of both sides is balanced, then whichever side carries leftovers will directly have a 70/30 advantage in winning!

This, is the charm of leftovers!

“Here, this is a high-level protein, I’ll trade this whole box for the leftovers in your hand, how about that? You’re not losing out.”

Shi Yi handed a box of high-level protein to the little Rattata in front of him. The little Rattata immediately threw the leftovers on the ground, holding the high-level protein with both hands, as if it had found a delicacy from heaven.

It gently tasted a piece, feeling like its entire being had been elevated.

So delicious!

It had never tasted such delicious food before.

And Shi Yi, on the other hand, couldn’t help but curl his lips.

What the hell?

A tool worth tens of millions of Alliance coins, even one that’s rare, is being thrown on the ground like trash?

Shi Yi was speechless.

A whole box of high-level protein, no matter how expensive it is, is only worth a few thousand Alliance coins.

As expected.

Pokémon are easy to fool.

Shi Yi quickly picked up the leftovers, wiped it down, and carefully put it into the Pokémon Living Space.

“Da!”

“Daqiou!”

“Lada!”

Seeing one little Rattata successfully exchange goods.

The remaining Rattatas, Ekans... and even the Gravelers, all took out their treasures, wanting to exchange with Shi Yi.

Unfortunately, Shi Yi scanned the surroundings, and there were no more leftovers, only some scrap metal.

One of the little Rattatas saw that the intact fruit it brought couldn’t be exchanged for a high-level protein. It even took a bite right there and then to exchange it.

Shi Yi couldn’t help but roll his eyes at it.

He thought to himself... do you think taking a bite makes it leftovers? It’s too cheap, right?

However.

Shi Yi was in a good mood because he got the leftovers. He shared the pot of uneaten instant hot pot food with this group of wild Pokémon.

After they had eaten their fill, they didn’t even want to leave.

They insisted on guarding the entrance, keeping watch for the person who had bestowed food upon them!

Shi Yi didn’t bother with them. At night when he was sleeping, he had the Kangaskhan mother keep watch at the entrance and slept peacefully.

...

The next morning.

Shi Yi woke up in the sound of insects chirping.

“It’s only 5:00 am? It’s just barely dawn, and these insects are really loud.”

Shi Yi couldn’t help but complain.

Walking out of the tent, he said to the Kangaskhan mother, “Kangaskhan mother, you’ve worked hard keeping watch last night. Go back to the Pokémon Living Space and have a good rest.”

After saying that.

Shi Yi brought the Kangaskhan mother back into the Pokémon Living Space.

After a simple wash, Shi Yi cooked another package of instant noodles for himself.

That group of wild Pokémon, smelling the aroma, gathered around.

They really didn’t leave last night, and they stayed to keep watch for Shi Yi all night.

Looking at the Rattatas, Ekans, and Gravelers with dark circles under their eyes, Shi Yi couldn’t help but feel kind. He took out a box of ordinary protein and shared it with them.

“Everyone, you’ve worked hard keeping watch last night. After you finish eating, go back and have a good sleep.”

“Daqiou~”

“Lada~”

“Maru~”

The Pokémon nodded, finished eating the delicious protein given by Shi Yi, and then scattered.

“Come out, Sandshrew!”

“Sisha...”

Sandshrew stuck out its tongue, lying on the ground, squinting its eyes and still snoring.

Shi Yi walked over, somewhat speechless.

He shouted loudly, “Wake up! It’s time to eat!”

“Sisha?!”

Hearing that it was time to eat, Sandshrew immediately woke up.

Shi Yi rolled his eyes at it, somewhat speechless.

“It’s either eating or sleeping, right? We need to hit the road!”

“Sisha...”

Sandshrew felt a little ashamed and scratched its head with its tail.

After packing up the things in the camp, Shi Yi was ready to set off again.

Today’s destination is the southeast direction of the Wild Area.

From the westernmost edge of the Wild Area, going all the way to the southeast direction, it will take a considerable amount of time.

With Sandshrew’s speed, it might take more than half a day.

Actually, Shi Yi originally wanted to go north first.

The location of Jin Bo’s purple opportunity is at the northern edge of the Wild Area.

But considering that Jin Bo’s completion of this opportunity will take the longest, Shi Yi decided to go to the location of Chen Ling’s silver opportunity first.

Although... Chen Ling’s silver opportunity, counting from the day it started, is one week. From today’s perspective, there are still three or four days left.

But... to prevent any unnecessary accidents.

Shi Yi decided to go and get Chen Ling’s silver opportunity first.

After all.

The reward for the silver opportunity is much higher than the reward for the purple opportunity.

“Sandshrew, we might need you to make a long journey today. If you run out of energy midway, let me know, I’ll use the power of the Everstone to heal your energy, and then we’ll continue on our journey!”

Hearing Shi Yi’s first sentence, Sandshrew felt a wave of gratitude.

Thinking that its master is very considerate of Pokémon.

But hearing the second half of the sentence, Sandshrew couldn’t help but roll its eyes.

He’s treating me like a horse, right?!

“Here, eat a top-tier protein first, replenish your energy.”

Shi Yi fed Sandshrew a top-tier protein. Sandshrew’s nostrils immediately spewed out two puffs of hot air, looking ready to set off at any time.

The taste and nutritional value of top-tier protein are indeed far superior to high-level protein.

In terms of price, it’s also four times that of high-level protein.

A box of only twelve top-tier proteins, costs a whopping twenty thousand Alliance coins.

It’s a sky-high price!
