**Chapter 210: The Rogue Monkey Pokémon**
"Thanks to Bai Feng, luckily he took out a pill. After the Miltank drank the water the pill dissolved in, they recovered their health shortly after," Aunt Balice said excitedly.
After hearing Aunt Balice's words, Uncle Luobu hadn't spoken yet when Nurse Joy asked, "What kind of pill? It's actually that powerful?"
She had already come to see these Miltank at Uncle Luobu's Ranch several times. Their symptoms of acclimatization issues were very severe, and each time she could only help alleviate them, unable to cure them completely, as it was a physical condition issue.
But today someone actually told her that such a severe problem was solved with just one pill; it was truly unbelievable.
Nurse Joy felt she was too useless!
However, Aunt Balice didn't know what the pill Bai Feng took out was called and could only look at Bai Feng helplessly.
Bai Feng explained with a smile, "It's a Vitality Block made from Revival Herb."
"What?" Hearing Bai Feng's answer, Nurse Joy couldn't help but exclaim, "Revival Herb? And a Vitality Block that only exists in legend?"
"Those are the two things, indeed," Bai Feng said cheerfully.
"You... you... you actually..." Nurse Joy stammered for a long time, unable to speak.
She wanted to say that Bai Feng actually used such precious things so easily, but when she thought about him saving so many Miltank, she felt as if doing so wasn't a problem at all. Therefore, her heart was extremely conflicted for a moment.
Uncle Luobu saw Nurse Joy's eyes widened and stammer for a long time without speaking, so he asked foolishly, "Is that pill very precious?"
Bai Feng originally wanted to give Nurse Joy a look to tell her not to mention the matter of the Revival Herb, but who knew Nurse Joy was quick to speak? As soon as Uncle Luobu opened his mouth to ask, she enthusiastically explained.
"Of course it's precious! Revival Herb is a particularly precious medicinal herb that only grows in places rarely visited by humans and are very dangerous. I've only ever seen it in books and have never seen a real Revival Herb at all."
"Needless to say about Vitality Blocks, this is a special medicine passed down from ancient times. Legend says it can heal all injuries; even if only a breath remains, a Vitality Block can pull them back from the brink of death."
"The main ingredient for making Vitality Blocks is Revival Herb, but... the method of making Vitality Blocks should have been lost!"
Speaking of this point, Nurse Joy looked at Bai Feng again, her gaze full of doubt and curiosity.
After hearing Nurse Joy's explanation, Uncle Luobu and Aunt Balice were already stunned. Bai Feng actually used such precious things for their family's Miltank. What should they do?
"Bai Feng, how could you casually take out such precious things?" Aunt Balice scolded. "That's equivalent to a life!"
Bai Feng said indifferently, "We can't just watch the Miltank suffer, can we? Their condition was worsening, and there was no method to solve it quickly. If we continued to delay, there might be life-threatening danger. As long as we can save the Miltank, no matter how precious the things are, they must be used. What is more precious than life?"
The Miltank also knew at this moment that Bai Feng had used very precious things to heal them, so one by one they gathered around him, affectionately hugging his legs. Some even wanted to offer him milk right there!
"That's true..." Uncle Luobu said with a look of guilt, "but that thing..."
Hearing this, Bai Feng immediately interrupted Uncle Luobu, "If you keep dwelling on it, I won't take those two Gogoat either!"
"Alright, alright," Uncle Luobu quickly waved his hand. "I won't talk about it anymore, okay?"
At this moment, Aunt Balice patted Bai Feng's shoulder. "Don't say anything else. We're not outsiders; why dwell on it so much?"
Hearing this, Bai Feng immediately nodded, "Exactly, exactly, we're not outsiders!"
"Bai Feng is staying for a meal today. Auntie must show you her cooking skills!"
The Miltank's problem was solved, and Aunt Balice was very happy. She insisted on having Bai Feng stay for lunch. Bai Feng couldn't refuse and could only agree.
Only Nurse Joy followed behind the few people, looking like she wanted to speak but hesitated, unsure of how to voice it. In the end, she could only be sent back to the Pokémon Center by Uncle Luobu, looking back every few steps.
At noon, Aunt Balice used all her skills and prepared a lavish lunch for Bai Feng.
Aunt Balice's cooking was a very typical Kalos Region style, somewhat similar to Western cuisine from Bai Feng's previous life. Bai Feng was used to Lopunny's cooking, so eating this now was actually not something he was very used to.
Fortunately, Aunt Balice's cooking was very good, and Bai Feng ate quite happily.
After lunch, Bai Feng was not in a hurry to leave. He had eaten a bit too much, so he took a walk on the Ranch's Grassland for a while.
At this moment, Xiao Yu and Xiao Long sneakily approached him.
"Is something up with you two?" Bai Feng asked amusedly.
Xiao Yu waved at Bai Feng. "Brother Bai Feng, squat down."
Hearing this, Bai Feng squatted down doubtfully. Xiao Yu leaned into his ear and asked softly, "Brother Bai Feng, can that Vitality Block really heal any injury?"
Bai Feng didn't understand why Xiao Yu was asking this, but still nodded and replied, "Supposedly, that should be the case."
After hearing this, Xiao Yu showed a look of surprise and delight. She exchanged a glance with Xiao Long and then said, "Brother Bai Feng, can we ask you for a favor?"
"Of course you can," Bai Feng replied readily. "As long as I can do it."
"Brother Bai Feng, come with us!"
Saying this, Xiao Yu and Xiao Long quickly climbed onto the Skiddo beside them. Seeing this, Bai Feng also rode onto a Gogoat and followed.
The two children's riding skills were very good. Riding their Skiddo quickly forward all the way, Bai Feng chased behind and shouted, "Slow down, be careful not to fall!"
"No way, we won't fall!" Xiao Yu's clear voice, like a silver bell, echoed in the air.
Bai Feng followed behind the Dragon-Phoenix Twins siblings and quickly ran out of the Ranch area, gradually entering a Forest.
After entering the Forest, the two children's speed finally slowed down. Bai Feng caught up and asked, "You usually run to such a far place to play? Aren't you afraid of encountering danger?"
"Not afraid at all!" Xiao Long answered crisply. "Skiddo will protect us, right?"
"Meee!!!"
The Skiddo under Xiao Long responded proudly to Xiao Long.
Seeing this, Bai Feng shook his head helplessly. These two Skiddo were personally cultivated by Grandpa Fu, and their strength was indeed very good.
Seeing the siblings continuously leading him towards the Depths of the forest, Bai Feng asked doubtfully, "Where exactly are you taking me?"
"We'll be there soon, we'll be there soon," Xiao Long said quickly. "That's mine and Sister's Secret Base. Nobody knows about it. Brother Bai Feng is the first person to go there!"
Bai Feng: Thanks, should I feel honored?
After walking for a while longer, a large tree appeared before Bai Feng. The shape of this large tree was very strange; it had actually grown into the shape of a Wooden House.
"Brother Bai Feng, look, this is mine and Sister's Secret Base."
With the arrival of Xiao Yu and Xiao Long, over a dozen wild Pokémon gradually gathered around. There were Fletchling, Dedenne, Phantump, Swirlix... and even a rare Sylveon.
"Ya gu~"
"Dian dian~"
"Niufei~"
...
The wild Pokémon affectionately gathered around Xiao Long and Xiao Yu. It was clear at a glance that they were already very familiar with each other.
"Giggling~~~"
The Pokémon climbed all over Xiao Yu and Xiao Long. The two children's laughter echoed in the Forest, and the scene was incredibly heartwarming.
"Roar!!!"
However, just at this moment, a furious roar suddenly came from the large tree. Immediately followed by a black shadow suddenly leaping out from the Tree Canopy, breaking the tranquility.
"Roar!!!"
The black shadow revealed its true form. After Bai Feng saw its true appearance, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly pulled Xiao Yu and Xiao Long behind him.
Appearing before Bai Feng was an ape-like Pokémon with a fierce appearance and entirely black body. It was precisely the legendary Mythical Pokémon, Zarude.
Zarude, the Rogue Monkey Pokémon, Dark and Grass dual type, generally only lives in rarely visited Jungles. Its nature is fierce and it loves to fight. It shows hostility towards all humans and Pokémon other than its companions and has very strong aggressiveness.
Seeing Zarude hissing and roaring at Xiao Yu and Xiao Long, the other wild Pokémon glared angrily, running in front of Zarude and baring their teeth at it.
Bai Feng didn't see any threat or aura from them; instead, he felt their angry appearance was too cute.
"Roar!!!"
Zarude let out an angry roar. The resulting airwave blew the little ones tumbling and flipping, but it seemed... it didn't injure them at all.
Doubt arose in Bai Feng's heart.
At this moment, Xiao Yu and Xiao Long suddenly ran out from behind Bai Feng and ran straight in front of Zarude.
"Xiao Yu! Xiao Long!" Bai Feng's expression changed drastically.
However, the scene that happened next left Bai Feng dumbfounded.
"Little Black, didn't I tell you not to bully other Pokémon?"
Xiao Yu angrily pointed at Zarude and scolded.
What? Little Black? Who can tell me why a legendary Zarude wouldn't talk back when scolded by a little girl?
"Didn't I say not to tell others about my matter? What's with that human?" After Xiao Yu finished scolding, Zarude questioned her and Xiao Long.
This is a Pokémon that can speak human language.
"Little Black, don't be angry. Brother Bai Feng is someone we invited to help you heal your injuries. Brother Bai Feng is very amazing, he can definitely heal you!" Xiao Long walked up to Zarude's side and gently stroked Zarude's furry arm with his small hand. Zarude actually didn't dislike it at all.
"Just him?" Zarude's face was full of disbelief.
At this moment, Bai Feng also finally understood why Xiao Yu and Xiao Long wanted to bring him here; it turned out they wanted to heal the injured Zarude.
Bai Feng observed for a while before noticing that there was a very deep wound under Zarude's ribs. Blood was still flowing there; it was just that Zarude's fur color was too dark, so it wasn't easy to notice.
Bai Feng didn't approach Zarude rashly. Instead, he waved at Xiao Yu and Xiao Long and said, "You two, come over quickly."
Xiao Yu and Xiao Long ran quickly to Bai Feng's side and heard Bai Feng ask softly, "What's the matter with this Zarude?"
"Zarude? What's a Zarude?" Xiao Yu asked with a blank look.
Bai Feng: ...
"It's the Little Black you mentioned," Bai Feng explained.
"So Little Black is called Zarude! Brother Bai Feng is really amazing, he knows everything." Xiao Long said, looking at Bai Feng with a face full of admiration.
Bai Feng patted his little head. "Stop being cheeky, quickly tell me what's the matter!"
At this moment, Zarude also pricked up its ears, eavesdropping on the conversation between Bai Feng and the Dragon-Phoenix Twins. It was surprised that Bai Feng could actually recognize its identity.
Could it be that this human really has something remarkable about him?
Under the chaotic description from Xiao Yu and Xiao Long, each speaking over the other, Bai Feng quickly figured out the situation.
Zarude was not originally a Pokémon from here. One day, when Xiao Yu and Xiao Long were playing exploration games in the Forest with the wild Pokémon, they accidentally discovered Zarude lying in the Grass, covered in blood.
So the two little ones, together with the wild Pokémon, brought the unconscious Zarude back to the Secret Base and carefully took care of it until it woke up.
At first, Zarude's injuries were really severe. Therefore, although it was full of vigilance towards humans and unfamiliar Pokémon, it couldn't leave and also couldn't harm Xiao Yu, Xiao Long, and the wild Pokémon.
After that, Xiao Yu and Xiao Long would come to visit Zarude every day and would secretly bring delicious Miltank milk from home for it. The wild Pokémon also helped it search for food and medicinal herbs for healing.
Gradually, Zarude also lowered its guard towards the Dragon-Phoenix Twins and their wild Pokémon friends. After it could move freely, it temporarily resided in the Forest.
Zarude's injuries were very unusual. Normal methods couldn't heal them at all. Therefore, it could only stay in this Forest.
However, it had warned Xiao Yu and Xiao Long never to tell anyone about its existence. Unexpectedly, the siblings actually brought a stranger today.
That's why Zarude was so angry at the beginning.
After understanding what happened, Bai Feng looked at Zarude. Seeing it look at him with a face full of vigilance, he said with a smile:
"I have no ill will towards you. If you don't mind, you can let me look at your injuries. Perhaps I really have a method to help you heal."
Zarude stared at Bai Feng and didn't speak, neither agreeing nor refusing.
"Little Black, Little Black, just let Brother Bai Feng take a look. Brother Bai Feng is really amazing, he can definitely help you!"
Xiao Yu ran to Zarude's side, hugging its furry arm and coaxing him.
"Exactly, exactly, Little Black, let Brother Bai Feng help you!" Xiao Long ran over and hugged Zarude's other arm.
After thinking for a while, Zarude slowly nodded. "Alright, I'll trouble you, human!"
This Zarude's tone of voice was quite polite.
Bai Feng was led into the Wooden House by Xiao Yu, Xiao Long, and Zarude. Only now did Bai Feng know that the large tree didn't originally grow like a Wooden House; it was Zarude who used its power to accelerate the growth of the large tree into this shape.
Zarude had been residing in the Wooden House all along.
In the Wooden House, Bai Feng saw a series of things like dolls, toy cars, pillows, scarves, blankets, etc.
Needless to say, they were definitely secretly brought from home by the Dragon-Phoenix Twins. No wonder Aunt Balice complained during dinner today that something was always missing from home recently.
So they all ended up here!
