Chapter 132 Dyeing Fruit
Everything here is pink, which reminded Ash of his own pink Zubat.
Take out the Poké Ball and release it.
"Is this your hometown, Batley?"
"Bat, bat!"
The little bat shook its head repeatedly. When Ash got it, it was an egg. How could it possibly know where its hometown was?
"Ash, something feels off. There are way too many pink Pokémon here." Misty observed the island's environment through her binoculars.
Shiny Pokémon are generally very rare, but these are everywhere on the island, and they don't even look like they've been painted on.
"Every tree has those pink fruits; could it be because of those fruits?"
Ash casually picked a fruit from a nearby tree, examined it closely, and then actually took a bite.
They're incredibly skilled and daring, completely unafraid of whether it's poisonous or not. Kids, please don't try this at home!
"The sweet and sour taste is very good, and there's nothing unusual about it. [Ding, host contact with Pinggan fruit detected. The system store has automatically added new products: 'Pinggan Fruit,' 'Regular Dyed Fruit,' 'Good Dyed Fruit,' and 'Excellent Dyed Fruit.' —]"
[Based on the host's current condition, the following "dyed berries" colors have been unlocked: pink and orange]
[Pinggan Fruit; Price: 200/each; Remaining: 100 (A unique tree fruit from Pinggan Island, it has the effect of changing the appearance of creatures to pink, but has unknown side effects, and the duration varies from person to person.)]
[Common dyeable berries; Price: 1 each; Remaining: 100 (No side effects; changes the appearance of a Pokémon for 1 day)]
[Good dyed berries; Price: 5 each; Remaining: 100 (Valid for 1 week)]
[The best coloring berry; Price: 100 million each; Remaining: 10 (Permanently changes the color of a Pokémon after use; can be overwritten by berries of other colors)]
"Great! Doesn't this mean we can create artificial Shiny Pokémon?"
"But this fruit has unknown side effects!" Xiao Zhi tasted it and ate several in a row.
"Ah, Ash, your hair has turned completely pink! It's so cute."
Xiaoxia took off Xiaozhi's baseball cap and curiously fiddled with a few strands of his hair.
"Now my hair is just like Sister Peony's."
"What do you mean, real or fake? My hair!"
I quickly took out a mirror and looked at myself. To my surprise, my hair had turned pink! Not only my hair, but even my eyebrows and eyelashes had turned pink.
Now, at first glance, Ash has become a pink character bursting with girlish charm.
"I've been a tough guy my whole life, and now people are saying I'm cute." The muscular man finds it hard to accept.
"No, actually pink is derived from blood, so pink is the most masculine color. Yes, that's right!" This was the only way Xiaozhi could convince himself.
However, judging from the current situation, Ash has realized that the Pokémon here have turned pink simply because they ate berries. Apart from the color change, there is nothing unusual about them.
You should know that every shiny Pokémon you encounter in the wild has some amazing moves.
It will be more powerful than ordinary Pokémon, and will excel in certain aspects.
Now that dyed berries are available in the system shop, Ash instantly lost interest in catching Pokémon here.
They set up cooking equipment on the spot, intending to camp there first and have lunch later.
However, although Ash wasn't interested in Rhyperior, Rhyperior did become interested in Ash.
After discovering that Ash had set up the boiler, the smelly rhinoceros actually stopped eating and charged straight at them.
"Do you really want your face to be all smiles so early?!" Ash originally planned to finish lunch before taking his Pokémon out to raid the area.
Since it's so thirsty, Xiao Zhi won't neglect it.
With a single kick, he knocked the charging armored rhinoceros over. "Goblin, use Giga Drain!"
The armored rhinoceros has lost its ability to fight.
Just as Ash bent down to give Rhinoceros a healing potion and then apply it three times, a shout suddenly came from afar to stop him.
"Stop! You despicable poachers!"
A Miss Officer Jenny arrived in a Jeep, but she seemed to have misunderstood something.
"Master, please hug me again!"
Inside the police station, Officer Jenny, who should have been dignified and serious, is now bound in a tortoise shell.
Moreover, her pretty face showed a coquettish expression as she kept asking Ash for a hug.
"Stop! Immediately dispel the hypnosis on Miss Officer Jenny."
Ash didn't want to do this either, but Officer Jenny was unusually stubborn for some reason.
She was convinced that Ash and his friends were poachers, and no matter how she explained that she had come to the island after a shipwreck, she wouldn't listen.
"Pinggan Island is surrounded by underwater whirlpools. No one could possibly survive in such terrifying whirlpools. You must be criminals who used high-tech equipment to smuggle yourself in!"
"You really swam here!" Xiao Zhi even showed her his muscular physique.
To everyone's surprise, the other person just blushed slightly and still didn't believe it.
Not only did she not believe Officer Jenny, but she also pointed at the Bulbasaur on Ash's shoulder and said, "You've already taken action to capture the Pokémon on the island, and you're still trying to argue!"
Unexpectedly, Batrider, a Shiny Pokémon, became evidence of Ash's crimes.
"No, I caught it elsewhere. It's a real Shiny Pokémon." Ash even took out his Pokédex to try and prove its identity.
Officer Jenny took out a Poké Ball, clearly indicating that she was about to battle Ash.
"Why are you so stubborn?"
Unfortunately, Ash didn't want to hurt her, so he had no choice but to send out his best general, Hypnosis.
[Ding! Epic Quest "Create Your Own Water X Jing Paradise!": Successfully used hypnosis to hypnotize the 0 wife (1/10)]
After being hypnotized, Officer Jenny immediately dropped her aggressive tone and hugged Ash with eyes full of love.
"What? Another married woman? Isn't Miss Officer Jenny's married woman rate a bit too high?"
And what kind of special training did he receive in the Rockets before he was hypnotized?
Women who have been hypnotized by it will all become sexually aroused.
If Xiaoxia hadn't stopped him, Xiaozhi would have almost made a mistake.
While stopping Officer Jenny, Ash also caught a glimpse of Hypnos grinning lewdly at him and giving him a thumbs up.
"Don't give me that 'all-knowing-it-all' look. I didn't ask you to do this!"
Hypnosis glanced at Xiaoxia and then looked like he suddenly understood.
"Yes!" (I understand, Master!)
"You don't understand, don't act on your own!"
Back at the police station, Officer Jenny's hypnotic state was broken as her hands moved up and down in a hypnotic state.
In this situation, she finally had the patience to listen to Xiaozhi's explanation.
To increase his persuasiveness, Ash even called Professor Oak.
"Although he's a bit too strong, he is indeed a boy from Pallet Town. I gave him the Pokédex; he's not a poacher."
Looking at Officer Jenny bound in her tortoise shell, Daiki couldn't help but wipe his sweat with a handkerchief.
"But Xiaozhi, what kind of binding method is this? You can't do anything illegal or criminal, kid."
"I didn't do this, Xiaoxia tied it up." God knows why Xiaoxia is so skilled at turtle shell bondage.
After clearing up the misunderstanding, Officer Jenny finally apologized to Ash and his friends.
But what's with that wistful look on his face? The hypnosis has already been lifted.
Could it be that Officer Jenny is actually a...?
"By the way, Professor Oak, will my fur stay like this forever because I ate the berries on the island?"
The system says that the effects of mandarin oranges vary from person to person, but you don't want your fruit to be pink forever.
"Don't worry about that. As long as humans don't take it for a long time, the longest recorded recovery is no more than a day. They will recover very quickly."
"But Ash, you guys mustn't announce what's going on on this island to the outside world, or it'll attract real poachers."
Oak also explained the side effects of the tangerine to Satoshi.
"Because of their long-term consumption of berries, the Pokémon here have developed a symbiotic relationship with the berries. If they cannot ingest the special components in the berries, their bodies will become weak and they may even get sick and die."
Xiao Zhi understood this perfectly well and promised not to leak the secret.
Not only for Pokémon, but also for himself, he has exchanged all the berries except for the best dyed berries and sent them to the company.
Although these fruits cannot permanently change their color, they still have a huge market.
Just like dyeing hair, there are definitely many people who want to give their Pokémon a new and interesting color.
If Pinggan Island were discovered by the outside world, its dyed fruit would no longer be so magical, and it would be so profitable without a brand story to tell.
But this was a real hardship for Sundae at the group headquarters; she was devastated when she received the fruit.
"We haven't even finished the last plan we came up with on a whim, and now a new one is popping up."
Sundae, who was always being exploited, could no longer stand her boss who always had wildly imaginative ideas.
"You wretched little Zhi, I'm going to—first 00, then XX!"
[Ding! Sundae: Affection -1]
Ash, who received a system notification while adrift at sea, thought: "Hmm? Looks like someone wants some milk again!"
