Gengui's New "Little Brother," LaoLao~ (Two-in-One, Please Vote!)
"Old Man Fu, thank you very much."
Jing He had gotten a huge pile of books from Old Man Fu on agriculture, cultivation, and related subjects, leaving him thoroughly satisfied.
"Haha, not many young people like these things nowadays. You're one, and Milo from Galar is another. Both of you are good kids."
Old Man Fu tugged at his white beard, looking highly pleased.
He usually enjoyed drinking tea, tending the fields, and reading books. In some respects, Jing He was surprisingly similar to him.
After staying in Coumarine City for two days, Jing He had finally obtained what he wanted.
At the same time, AZ had successfully finished modifying the aircraft. "Machoke"—oh, no, "Machoke"—was helping him carry all those books onto it.
"But that Snivy of yours..."
As they chatted, Old Man Fu inevitably brought up Jing He's Snivy again.
"Snivy—"
Apparently hearing Old Man Fu's voice, Snivy, who was performing Synthesis, gave him a sidelong glance.
"Ahem." Old Man Fu coughed lightly. "I really can't make heads or tails of it."
As a Trainer who had specialized in Grass-type Pokémon for decades, this was the first time he had ever seen a Pokémon like Jing He's Snivy.
"Uh..."
Jing He rubbed his nose and gave an awkward laugh.
"But I can give you this. Consider it a present."
Just as Jing He thought Old Man Fu was about to take out a Badge, the old man instead produced a Technical Machine and several Grassy Seeds.
"This is..."
"Grass Knot. It's one of the old man's best moves. These Grassy Seeds can help with learning it," Old Man Fu said cheerfully.
"This really is... Thank you so much."
Jing He did not refuse.
Grass Knot might not have been particularly useful
