Pokémon that goes with the flow

Chapter 182 Wake up! Kirby 1

After leaving Maca City, Hoshino, Ash and his team, who continued their training journey with the goal of becoming Pokémon Masters, were not in a hurry. Scorpio and Pikachu were also leisurely training on their own. The family fell asleep.

After a long hike, all the food they carried was almost exhausted. Even Hoshino, who liked to hoard food, had no spare food.

Hoshino regretted forgetting to replenish supplies in Maca City, but fortunately, according to the map, there was a small town not far ahead. After walking this mountain road, you can go there to buy new supplies.

Bread, Pokémon food, medical drugs, and essential compressed biscuits, there are so many more things to buy~.

Thinking of this, Hoshino's steps couldn't help but become a little cheerful.

"Boys and girls, you came at the right time~." An old and rich voice came. Hoshino and the others were also attracted by this voice, and they all stopped and looked forward.

A short old man in a gray robe was sitting cross-legged on a big stone by the roadside. His long pale hair and beard almost covered his entire face.

Seeing this strange old man greeting them, Xiaoxia asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? Grandpa."

"Haha~, just listen to it~." The old man laughed heartily twice, and then took out a flute decorated with an elf ball from behind.

Just when everyone was curious about what the old man was going to do, a melodious song slowly played under the old man's playing.

The music is gentle yet lively, like a gurgling stream or the breeze in the forest, calming both body and mind.

Even the sleeping Scorpio was awakened by the sound of the flute, shook its little ears, stretched out refreshed, and faded away from the fatigue from the journey.

"Wow~, it sounds good~"

The sound of the flute stopped, and Xiaozhi couldn't help but praise.

Hoshino on the side also nodded in agreement, "It's really nice. This is the first time I've heard this kind of music."

"In that case, then you can take a piece of bread as a performance fee." The old man spread his palms towards them.

"...Huh?" Hoshino was stunned for a moment. Do you want more money? !

"Isn't it free?" Xiaoxia asked dissatisfiedly, why didn't she tell her that she wanted to be paid earlier, instead of telling her after the performance was over?

"Hmph~, you are lucky, the sound of my flute is hard to hear!" The old man boasted seriously, not feeling at all that there was anything wrong with his forced buying and selling behavior.

Although the reward is only a piece of bread, but...

"We have no bread..." Xiaozhi looked depressed, "We don't have any food..."

"Didn't you even bring a biscuit?!" The old man looked at the four little guys in front of him in disbelief. Didn't they even prepare food for a trip?

"Sorry, I've finished eating it all, not even the cookie crumbs..."

Xiaogang's words shattered the old man's last fantasy. Seeing that the four people in front of him had no food at all, he immediately lost his patience and simply lay down on the stone, complaining in disappointment.

"What are you doing? There is no food, so I have to play in vain." The old man waved his hands to Hoshino and others impatiently, "Really, you guys should go quickly, let's go."

The old man, who had been so pleasant just now, suddenly changed his face, and everyone couldn't stay long and left the place in a hurry.

There was no way. Although the old man was immoral first, there was no need to quarrel over this trivial matter. The first priority should be to go to the town to eat.

It was approaching noon, and Hoshino and Xiaozhi were walking dejectedly on the road to the town. Xiaozhi covered his growling stomach and lamented: "I'm so hungry..."

"I feel like I'm going to faint at any time..." Xiaogang lowered his hands weakly, and Xiaoxia beside him was obviously not energetic, "We haven't eaten anything since yesterday... "

"How long does that town last..." Hoshino spread out the map, wanting to see if they were lost again.

Fortunately, they didn't get lost this time. It didn't take long for them to see a large group of houses standing in front of them.

This scene that was enough to make people cry with joy instantly lifted their spirits. Everyone ran forward quickly and soon reached their destination - an unknown Western-style rural town.

Two- or three-story tile-roofed houses are arranged one after another, and walking on the streets paved with rough bricks makes people feel like they have returned to a medieval European town... Of course, this scene is very important to Hoshino who is looking for food. It's not important to wait for someone, it's just a pity...

There was no food sold in the town they were in...

"How could this happen..." Hoshino sighed helplessly.

After searching to no avail, the hungry people had no choice but to sit on a street bench and rest to save their little energy.

"It turned out that the place selling food didn't sell anything..." Xiaogang lowered his head, recalling the embarrassing experience just now.

There was no bread in the bakery, no vegetables in the vegetable store, and no rice in the restaurant. There was really no food at all...

Hoshino is now considering whether to buy something from the system mall first in case of emergency. Although the things are expensive, he is not reluctant to buy them for everyone, but how should he explain where the food comes from...

Suddenly I understood why the old man asked for bread instead of money. It turned out that there was no food here...

Hey~......

Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, an old man wearing a gray knitted hat noticed them. He saw a few unfamiliar young people sitting there and sighing, so he walked over with a cane out of curiosity.

"Young man, what's the matter with you?"

"We want to buy some food in this town..." Xiaogang looked at the old man. Although he didn't know what the old man wanted to do, he still answered truthfully.

"Although I have searched everywhere, I can't buy any food."

Xiaoxia lay on the back of the chair with a grimace, "We are really hungry and can't walk a step. Grandpa, do you know where there is food for sale..."

Seeing the listless looks of the young people in front of him, the old man tightened his grip on the crutches in his hands and finally sighed softly.

"So that's it..." The old man looked up at Hoshino, Xiaozhi and the others, "In that case, you should come to my son's house to eat something first. Although there is nothing to eat, there is only bread and soup. There are still some.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone suddenly raised their heads and looked at the kind old man.

"Really?!" x4
