Chapter 878 Tapu Moo Joins Li Shuwen's Team
Gengar floated beside it, its mouth slightly agape, its eyes shining: "That's a powerful move."
Li Shuwen, standing to the side, was also somewhat surprised.
His original idea was simply to have the Greatsword Demon use the large horn on its head as a third sword.
But unexpectedly, it went a step further, managing to use all three elemental powers simultaneously, superimposing them to form a completely new sword style.
Dr. Kongmu leaned against the stone wall outside the cave, arms crossed, watching the three-colored wave slowly recede. He only spoke after the Greatsword Demon stopped:
"This move is only useful in Hellfire. In reality, without sufficient physical strength to support it, you'll fall before your enemy."
The Greatsword Demon nodded in agreement, indeed bearing many more wounds.
When the three attributes intertwine, the force rebounds back and causes damage to the user.
Although the wound wasn't deep, it shows that this move still puts a lot of strain on the body.
Li Shuwen shook his head and walked forward, using his waveguide power to help it close the cracks again, and then patted its shoulder twice.
That night, they rested on their Dorombalut in a deserted oasis.
The soil in this oasis still retains a trace of moisture, but the places where plants once grew have turned into grayish-brown, cracked, and hardened lumps.
The spring in the center has completely dried up, leaving only a thin layer of yellow mud at the bottom.
Dr. Kongmu crouched down, scooped up a pinch of soil, and smelled it:
"He just died. If you have a group of Grass-type and Water-type Pokémon, and with your Mindful Food, you should be able to bring him back to life."
When he said this, there was a sense of initiative in his tone that he himself might not have been aware of.
Having spent so long in purgatory, he had always been indifferent to such things.
But after eating Li Shuwen's cooking for a few days, he seemed to have a different kind of leisure.
The next morning, after a quick bite to eat, Li Shuwen turned to the Greatsword Demon and nodded before leaving, saying:
"Greatsword Demon, use Rain Dance to replenish this dead oasis with water."
The Greatsword Demon drew two shell swords, tips pointing upwards.
Aquamarine energy rose from the blade, condensing into a gray rain cloud high in the sky.
The clouds were thin, and the rain was fine and even, falling on the dry, cracked soil with a soft, rustling sound.
Raindrops seeped into the cracks in the loess, seeping down along the dried roots, darkening the thin, grayish-brown surface.
Li Shuwen looked up at the rain cloud that was slowly moving away and said:
"Hopefully, after this land is nourished by the rain, Grass-type Pokémon will come and revitalize it."
Dorombaluto had already landed nearby, ready to pick them up.
But just as Li Shuwen was about to step into the car, a low ringing sound came from afar.
It was a deep, resonant vibration, carrying a certain natural rhythm, as if it came from the depths of the earth.
Li Shuwen looked in the direction of the sound.
Dr. Kumoki, standing nearby, also saw the figure.
He chuckled, "I didn't expect this rain to attract this guy."
Li Shuwen glanced at him: "Doctor, do you know him?"
"Tapu Moo Moo. The god of agriculture and peace from a certain mirror plane."
Dr. Kongmu's tone carried a rare hint of respect, "Even in purgatory, he was working hard to create oases, restore agriculture, and promote peace."
"Most of the greenery that sprouts anew from the soil of purgatory was planted by his own hands."
Tapu Moo reached the edge of the oasis.
He looked down at the soil on the ground that had been soaked by the rain.
Although no plants have grown yet, the cracks are closing, the soil is darkening, and there is a slight dampness in the air.
He raised his head, his gaze falling on Li Shuwen as he spoke.
"Could you please make the rain fall even harder?"
Li Shuwen nodded to the Great Sword Demon.
Greatsword Demon drew his twin swords again, this time both shell swords gleaming with a light blue light as he swung them toward the sky.
The rain clouds regrouped, becoming several times larger than before, and the raindrops changed from fine to coarse, pounding against the parched earth with a dense sound.
Tapu Moo took a few steps forward and stood in the very center of the oasis.
He lowered his head, and a long moo escaped from his chest.
The sound was like an ancient call, echoing from the depths of the earth.
His body glowed with a thick green light, which spread outward from the ground beneath his feet, like green ripples flowing through the soil.
Wherever the green light reached, the earth began to loosen, and the cracked, hard lumps crumbled into soft soil.
Then, one after another, emerald green shoots emerged from the soil.
Tapu Moo took a handful of seeds from his pocket and scattered them on the ground.
The seeds fell into the moist soil, were enveloped in green light, and quickly began to grow.
First, tender roots take hold in the soil, then fragile stems straighten upwards, and then leaves unfold, flower buds form, and fruits swell.
The low-growing fruit trees completed the entire process from seed to fruit in less than ten minutes.
The branches are laden with plump fruits, their faint sweet fragrance filling the air.
Tapu Moo lay on the newly grown grass, eyes closed, "You helped me, so please eat these tree fruits."
Li Shuwen walked to the fruit tree, picked the fruit, and then took out cooking utensils and ingredients he had brought with him from his backpack.
He set up his equipment on a flat stone at the edge of the oasis, mashing the fruit pulp into a paste, mixing it with flour and water to form a dough, and then roasting it on the stone slab.
The sizzling sound, accompanied by the aroma of fruit, rose and drifted in the fresh air of the oasis.
Tapu Moo, who was lying down, suddenly twitched its nose.
He opened his eyes and looked in Li Shuwen's direction.
His gaze lingered on the food that was being grilled for a moment, then he slowly propped himself up and walked over.
Li Shuwen scooped up the first batch of baked fruit cakes and placed them on a clean leaf.
She pushed it in front of him: "These are the fruits of your trees, so naturally you should eat them too."
Kapu Moo looked down at the fruit cake on the leaf for a while, then stuck out his tongue, rolled up a piece, and put it in his mouth.
He chewed slowly, paused for a moment after swallowing, and then rolled up another piece.
After he finished eating, the green light on his body suddenly became brighter, as if it had been rekindled by something.
His breathing became more steady, and the signs of fatigue accumulated from his long journey were fading away layer by layer.
Tapu Moo raised its head, its eyes filled with a soothing tranquility: "Although every time I open up an oasis, I am healed by the power and spiritual light shared by the Pokémon that come to live there..."
"But the hellish environment still put a considerable burden on me. However, I never expected that there would be a food that could eliminate this burden."
Li Shuwen handed him the last piece of fruit cake, and then said:
"Why don't you come with us, Tapu Bulu? You can focus on creating the oasis, and I'll focus on restoring your health."
"Maybe one day, we can transform the entire Purgatory into a habitable place for everyone."
Tapu Moo looked at Li Shuwen, remained silent for a moment, and then stretched out its hoof.
"Okay, from the food, I can tell that you are a kind person who loves agriculture and peace."
"Perhaps you are the trainer I have been searching for."
Li Shuwen reached out and grasped the hoof.
The moment the hooves closed, the ground around Tapu Moo's hooves lit up slightly.
A small patch of green grass sprouted from the soil beneath his feet, even greener than the previous green light.
Dr. Kumo watched this scene, tapping his upper arm lightly with his fingers, a faint mark on the corner of his mouth.
He seemed lost in thought, as if he were re-examining something.
Gengar started picking berries nearby, while Pheromosa used a thin twig to examine the condition of the newly formed soil.
