Fang Gu did not answer Jirachi's question, but walked straight to the Queen Bee's side.
The Queen Bee also showed off to Fang Gu by slightly illuminating the ruby on her forehead.
Fang Gu took a breath. "Take a good look at your body and see if there's anything strange about it."
The Queen Bee initially paid no attention to Fang Gu's ramblings until she tried to activate her technique herself.
"Buzz!"
The Queen Bee panicked and found herself unable to use many of her moves!
Chapter 187 Guilt
The queen bee looked anxious and hurriedly activated her attack on the stone in front of her.
The queen bee kept flapping her wings, and a pale white light clung to them.
It is a radiance that symbolizes the energy of flight!
With the flapping of its wings, a vortex of air gathered in front of the queen bee.
It's a trick that the queen bee has frequently used since the time of the three honeybees—the wind.
It is also one of the queen bee's most proficient moves.
However, the trick that used to always work seemed to have gone slightly wrong today.
Before the cyclone could coalesce into a small vortex, the flight-attribute energy on the Queen Bee's wings dimmed instantly.
The Wind Rises move failed to execute!
"Buzz!"
how so!
Anxiety appeared on the Queen Bee's face as she began to try out the tricks she had already learned.
Insect bites, insect resistance, poisonous needles, rapid-fire slashes...
All of these offensive moves were unusable, as if God had played a cruel joke on the queen bee. The queen bee hung her head, dejected.
Can he really control this swarm of bees with just one Power Gem move?
Fang Gu sighed, "It seems this is the price to pay for fulfilling a wish."
There are gains and losses in everything.
Jirachi's ability to grant wishes is like an equivalent substitution of alchemy.
"Anyway, let's go to Dr. Harry's clinic to see Sister Chun first."
Fang Gu took out the Queen Bee's Poké Ball from his small bag and put the Queen Bee away.
"Kira." [Fang Gu...]
Jirachi seemed to sense the low pressure around Fang Valley as well, his voice trembling slightly as if recalling unpleasant memories from a thousand years ago.
The boy who wished to become king, even though he had already fulfilled the other's wish, still had that boy say something fierce to him at the end.
"You're not a wishing star at all, you're a jinx!"
Jirachi could no longer bear the harsh words spoken by the boy who had awakened her. With tears in her eyes, she left him. Then, in the last moment of her slumber, Jirachi used her psychic powers to send herself into the sky.
After Jirachi fell into slumber, that small kingdom lasted only seven days before disappearing into the annals of history.
"Kira." [Kira didn't mean it, sob sob.]
"Kira!" [Kirachi didn't know it would turn out like this!]
The tiny wishing star flew to Fang Gu's front, and on her fair face, large tears welled up in Jirachi's eyes as if they were free.
Fang Gu gently pursed his lips and pulled Jirachi into his arms.
"Of course I know you didn't do it on purpose, but actually I bear some responsibility as well..."
"Anyway, let's take them to Dr. Harry's clinic first."
"They'll be alright."
"Kira." [Hmm...]
Jirachi gave a soft "hmm," seemingly afraid of being abandoned. She gripped Fang Gu's fingers tightly with her little hands, and tears on her face soaked Fang Gu's clothes.
…………
Harry's Clinic.
Qiao Yichun was examining the baby ducks on the hospital bed, her expression serious throughout.
Fang Gu and Jirachi, who were standing outside the clinic, were worried.
"Kira." [The duckling... looks so uncomfortable...]
Jirachi hid behind Fang Gu, only peeking out with its little eyes to look at the baby ducks in the clinic.
They were sharing delicious fries with me last night, and today they've turned into this...
It's all my fault.
Jirachi's eyes dimmed.
Fang Gu gently patted Jirachi's head with his fingers, comforting him, "It'll be alright."
Before Qiao Yichun's examination was finished, Dr. Harry came over with the Queen Bee's examination report.
"Queen Bee, how are you, Dr. Harry?" Fang Gu asked.
Harry took out the diagnosis report and gave Jirachi behind Fang Gu a friendly smile.
As a result, Jirachi dodged, making Harry wonder if he was disliked by Jirachi.
Out of medical ethics, Dr. Harry suppressed his heartache, mustered his strength, and, holding the report, said to Fang Gu, "The Queen Bee's inability to use her attacks seems to be due to the influence of a technique—a paralysis spell."
Upon hearing this, Fang Gu visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Immobilize, a normal-type status move that most Ghost and Psychic-type Pokémon can learn.
When a Pokémon is affected by a move that causes its type energy to become disordered, it will be unable to use the move it last used for a period of time.
Once this period is over, the disordered attribute energy will naturally settle down again.
The Queen Bee doesn't stop using other tricks.
"So, how long will it take for the Queen Bee's immobilization spell to end?" Fang Gu asked.
Looking at the diagnosis report, Dr. Harry hesitated and said, "It might take two or three days, or even a week, to get this result. This is the first time I've seen such a high value."
"Now you don't have to worry anymore."
Fang Gu gently scratched Jirachi's cheek, but the latter still looked worried.
The queen bee is indeed fine, but what about the two baby ducks in the clinic?
"Ding!"
The bell on the consultation room door rang.
Miss Joyce came out from inside; she had already given the two baby ducks a thorough check-up.
"Please come in."
Joey brought Fang Gu and Kiraqi into the clinic.
The two ducklings, who seemed to have regained some energy, barely managed to raise their wings to greet Fang Gu and Jirachi.
Qiao Yichun took a sip of water and slowly explained the situation of the baby duck.
"The duckling is fine, except that its wing may have been strained from overuse. I suggest it rest for a few days and it will be fine."
"In addition, the ducklings may have some osteoporosis, so they should be given more protein, such as moo milk."
Fang Gu understood that the price of the duckling's wish was osteoporosis and muscle strain.
The price of the Queen Bee's wish is to fall into an attribute energy disorder, temporarily unable to use her moves.
The costs they incurred are still somewhat disproportionate to the gains they made.
Considering Jirachi's exhausted appearance after each wish is granted, perhaps a certain price is deducted from Jirachi's wish power for making a wish.
"Kira." [Me...]
Jirachi is hiding behind Fang Gu; it no longer knows how to face the ducklings.
"base--"
For some reason, Jirachi suddenly felt a push from behind and ended up next to the duckling.
The scene of the duckling being angry, as I had imagined, did not occur. Instead, the duckling smiled and stretched out its bandaged wings to hug Jirachi.
They mocked themselves for getting too carried away, getting so engrossed in flying that they strained their wings.
This made Kirachi feel even more guilty.
Just then, Sister Chun told Fang Gu some good news: "Based on the ducklings' energy levels, they will soon evolve."
Chapter 188 Strawberry
“Great, baby duck.”
Upon hearing this news, Fang Gu smiled at the ducklings and said, "Soon you will evolve into dancing swans."
"At that time, you will be able to fly freely."
Fang Gu gently rubbed the heads of the two ducklings. These two ducklings were among the first batch of Pokémon to arrive at Stardew Valley Ranch. However, the ducklings had a low desire to fight, so they didn't accumulate much experience through battles and training.
However, these baby ducks especially love sandwiches made with magical honey and magical sweetness.
Naturally, the energy level in the body increases rapidly.
"quack!"
The baby duck jumped for joy upon hearing the news; if it weren't for its injured wing, it would have danced a song right there in the clinic.
That's the Swan Dance!
