Chapter 439: Shoals of Squidwards on the Seafloor, Slowpoke and Shellder

On March 21, 200 of the Alliance Calendar, Naoki met Aoki again.

"This is the King's Certificate that the Chief asked me to give you. I have delivered it."

Aoki was wearing a black suit. The black leather shoes on his feet were stained with a little dust and were no longer shiny. His young face revealed a trace of fatigue, and the whole person looked very listless.

As soon as he saw Aoki, Naoki remembered that Ye Ci said that Aoki bought his goat milk online to refresh himself for overtime work.

At this moment, looking at Aoki like this, Naoki couldn't help but say: "Excuse me, Mr. Aoki, do you want to come in and sit for a while, have a cup of tea and rest?"

Aoki shook his head tiredly: "No, the things have been delivered, my work is done, and now it's time to go home."

After completing this mission, he got three days of paid vacation. Next, Aoki planned to use these three days to have a good rest at home.

"Okay then."

Naoki nodded and could only watch Aoki turn around and leave.

After all, for Aoki, a working man, home is the most comfortable.

Naoki didn't look away until Aoki's back disappeared at the end of the road.

He looked down at the key item needed for Slowpoke's evolution in his hand - the King's Certificate.

The King's Certificate in reality is not much different from the one in the game. It is a golden crown, but it seems to be very old and has traces of erosion by time.

This thing should be the crown of an ancient king, the proof of the king. Perhaps because it has been shrouded in the king's aura for a long time, it has a trace of the king's power.

And it is because Slowpoke and Mosquito-kun have absorbed this power that they can transform into the kings of the Slowpoke and Mosquito-kun tribes.

Now that they have the King's Certificate, they only need to find a Shellder that is willing to coexist with Slowpoke, and Slowpoke can be born.

Compared with the King's Certificate, it is much easier to find Shellder.

Because Shellder is a very common Pokémon, they usually live in the sea.

Naoki used the Rotom phone to check before, as long as it is on the seashore in the Padia region, you can see Shellder.

It just so happens that the town of Zheqin is on the edge of the Padya West Sea.

Then, let's go to the beach to find Shellder and help Slowpoke evolve into Slowking!

Naoki found Slowpoke's Poké Ball, and then went to the World Tree to bring Slowpoke out.

"I'm going out for a while and will be back soon." Naoki took the diving equipment he bought before, and found the Aiguanshi brother and sister before leaving, and told them that he was going out.

"Aiyi~" The brother and sister nodded, indicating that they would take care of everything.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Naoki reached out and touched the brother and sister's head.

He turned around and looked around to see what other Pokémon were doing.

Eevee and others were playing hide-and-seek in the ranch, Babu's parents were looking after the hens in the chicken coop, Farfetch'd was exercising in the onion garden, and Dragonite and others went out to work.

Most of the remaining Pokémon were playing in the Snorlax Park on the other side of the river.

After saying something to the Ai Guanshi brother and sister, Naoki took Gulton to the beach of Zheqin Town, where they looked for traces of the big tongue shell.

In the pasture, Motor Lizard looked at Gulton's back with envy.

Gulton was so reliable that he could help Naoki with anything.

Compared to Gulton, it was really useless.

Even if he tried to become stronger and practiced his moves, he couldn't help Naoki.

For a while, Motor Lizard didn't know what the point of doing those things was.

"Gaao..."

It sighed sadly and lay on the grass in a daze.

It's okay not to think about that kind of thing. The more you think about it, the sadder Motor Lizard becomes.

In the end, it was shrouded in an inexplicable emotion.

The sky is blue, the water is clear, and the sun is bright.

The endless sea is calm, and occasionally you can see a few long-winged gulls flapping their wings across the sea, then folding their wings and staying on the beach.

"Come out! Slowpoke!"

Accompanied by a flash of white light, Slowpoke appeared on the beach.

It still opened its eyes blankly and looked forward dully.

After a long while, Slowpoke seemed to realize that its position had changed, and it opened its creamy mouth.

"What?"

Naoki put the King's Certificate sent by Aoki on Slowpoke's head.

Slowpoke with the crown on its head continued to be in a daze.

Naoki observed for a while and felt that it was perfect.

Not to mention, the King's Certificate is quite suitable for Slowpoke.

Except that Slowpoke's eyes are a little wise, everything else is good.

Next, it's time to start looking for a Shellder that fits Slowpoke.

Naoki took Gulton to look around, and then he couldn't find a Shellder on the beach after searching for a while.

On the golden beach, there were no other Pokémon except a few sea squirrels and resting long-winged gulls.

Seeing this, Naoki asked Gulton to switch to the wave-breaking form again.

Suddenly, the Gultun, which was originally in riding form, changed again.

It opened its palms, making it suitable for swimming, and the tail that was originally curled up stretched out, and the tire on its chest acted as an airbag.

Gultun, who transformed into a wave-breaking form, came to the sea, and its appearance was like a rideable jet ski.

Naoki picked up Slowpoke, rode on Gulton, and galloped towards the sea.

When they were some distance away from the coast, Naoki asked Gulton to stop.

Therefore, although Luton can swim, it cannot dive. If it stays in it for a minute or two, it will be fine. If it stays in for a long time, even the Legendary Pokémon will drown.

Therefore, Naoki touched Gulton's head and said to him: "Wait for me here, I'll be back soon!"

"Ah gah!"

Therefore, Luton also knew that he could not help much, so he nodded his huge head.

Naoki put on his diving suit, and then took Slowmon and dived into the seabed.

The seabed is blue, and the sun shines through the sea surface, projecting a sparkling scene.

The bottom of the water is covered with various coral reefs and seaweeds, and countless water-type Pokémon swim leisurely among them.

The caring nanny Mambo, groups of tench fish, white sea rats, fluorescent fish with a faint light...

Naoki's eyes swept from below.

This Pokémon often lives on the seabed near the sea. It flexibly uses its tongue that is always extended to dig into the sand on the seabed to find food.

At night, they hide in the dug holes and sleep in them.

So...if you want to find the giant-tongued clam, you should focus on the sand on the seabed.

Naoki put Slowpoke on his back and continued to dive.

During this time, he passed by a spectacular school of tench fish.

The group of weak tench noticed the unfamiliar aura and scattered away as if frightened.

Although the number of these weak tench is large, it does not reach the number enough to form the "sea monster". Therefore, when facing the enemy, this group of weak Pokémon will still choose to escape.

Speaking of Tench, this is really an interesting Pokémon.

They are very weak individually and will be used as food by most Pokémon, such as the Howler King. It is said that the Howler King eats thirty tons of weak tench a day.

But once the number of weak tench is large enough, they will organize into huge formations to fight against the enemy.

According to legend, when weak tench fish work together to transform into this form, they will have power that can be called a sea monster.

Even a naturally violent Pokémon like Gyarados would run away from a weak tench like this.

Naoki took out his Rotom phone and took pictures of a school of tench swimming in the blue water.

After a while, the group of weak tench seemed to realize that there was no danger, so they slowly swam back and floated around in the surrounding waters.

"Rotom, ask these weak tench for me if there are any big-tongued clams living here." Naoki said to Rotom.

When Rotom Technology Company originally developed the Rotom mobile phone, it specifically added a waterproof function, so even in deep water, the Rotom mobile phone can still be used normally.

"Got Lotto!"

Rotom responded, then flew forward, found a weak tench, and forwarded Naoki's words to it.

The weak tench were scared at first, but after hearing Rotom's words, they looked at the human carefully, and then answered cautiously:

“&%x-on:#……”

Rotom mobile phone automatic transcoding: [There are big-tongued clams here, they are all in the sand, Rotom...]

The giant tongue clams usually do not harm the tench. The two Pokémon are not natural enemies, and their relationship with each other is quite harmonious. Therefore, the soft tongue clams are more or less impressed by the giant tongue clams on the bottom of the sea.

"In the sand?" Naoki looked down at the sand on the seabed, nodded and said, "I understand, thank you."

He took two raw eggs from his pocket and cracked them.

The transparent egg liquid immediately spread out in the sea water.

A few weak tench smelled the smell, and then cautiously swam forward and ate the egg whites and yolks.

Soon, more tench were attracted.

Two eggs were not enough for them to eat, so Naoki took out a small bottle of milk and opened it for these weak tench to eat.

Now the tench is no longer afraid of Naoki.

They all came to the mouth of the glass bottle and drank the milk floating out of it.

"Eat, eat!" Naoki looked at this scene with a smile.

The weak tench who usually only rely on eating plankton and seaweed have never eaten such delicious food, and their eyes lit up.

After finishing the bottle of milk, Tench looked at Naoki with a different look.

This time, a few smart tench actually started to lead the way.

The rest of the weak tench followed suit and formed a huge school of fish, swimming in front of Naoki and gesturing for him to follow.

Seeing this scene, Naoki was very surprised: "Are you going to lead me?"

The tench shoal made a sound like the churning of sea water.

Rotom: [Yes Lotto! 】

Naoki didn't expect this to happen, and an expression of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

He followed the weak tench down until he reached the bottom of the sea.

There is white sand everywhere here, and the mottled light and shadow sway gently on the bottom of the water, presenting a strange and bizarre scene.

Some underwater rats live here. They have long white slender bodies and look like moray eels.

As soon as Naoshu approached, these sea rats timidly retreated into the hiding stones.

The school of weak tench did not stop, so Naoki continued to move forward with them.

After passing through this white sand area, a coral reef composed of rocks and corals appeared in front of them.

On a large rock on the seabed, Naoki finally found the trace of Shellder.

Found it!

Naoki was very excited. In this way, Slowpoke could be born!

He looked back at the Slowpoke lying on his back, and prepared to approach a Shellder to ask its opinion.

If the other party agreed, then evolve first, and then degenerate if it feels inappropriate after evolution.

The relationship between Slowpoke and Shellder is very special, and their evolution is different from that of other Pokémon.

This "symbiotic evolution" can degenerate at any time.

Just take off the Shellder biting Slowpoke, and the evolved Slowpoke or Slowpoke can be degenerated into Slowpoke and Shellder.

The school of weaklings stopped not far away.

They did not approach or leave, but stayed there and curiously observed the behavior of the human.

Naoki swam forward with Slowpoke on his back.

The Shellder was half-opening its shell, with a pair of eyes inside the black shell and a pink tongue sticking out of it.

However, before Naoki got close, the alert Shellder spotted him.

With a muffled "pop" sound, Shellder immediately clamped the shell tightly, and as the two shells continued to open and close, Shellder swam quickly to the back.

And it seemed to spit out something while running away.

Naoki looked closely and found that it was actually a beautiful pearl!

Naoki: "..."

It seems that what the Pokémon encyclopedia said is true... Shellder will spit out its pearl because it dislikes it getting in the way.

The Shellder ran away, and Naoki could only look at other Shellders.

And at this moment, Naoki suddenly felt that Slowpoke behind him moved.

He turned around in confusion and saw that Slowpoke jumped down by itself. Its originally dull eyes seemed to be attracted by something, and it slowly moved its limbs and swam towards the target.

Naoki followed Slowpoke's gaze and saw a Shellduck spitting bubbles on a protruding rock.

The pearl that Shellduck had just dropped just landed on the shell of the bubbling Shellduck.

Slowpoke swam in front of Shellduck and stopped there. Its eyes moved up and stared at the beautiful pearl with a dull look.

Shellduck, who had been sleeping with its shell closed, seemed to sense something unusual.

It slowly opened its shell and just as it opened its eyes, it saw a strange pink Pokémon suddenly appear in front of it.

! ! !

Shellduck was startled and instinctively drove it to use a shell clamp on Slowpoke.

Slowpoke's head was instantly bitten by Shellduck.

The next second, countless bubbles emerged from the sea water, and a dazzling light burst out from the junction of the two Pokémon.

The light of evolution instantly submerged the two Pokémon, and in the light, the bodies of Shellduck and Slowpoke gradually merged into one.

When the light faded, a brand new Pokémon appeared in front of Naoki and the group of weaklings.

It was a king Pokémon standing on two feet, with an orange and white umbrella-like structure around its neck and a giant shell crown on its head.

Its eyes were full of wisdom, but it still looked very silly.

Naoki: "..."

Is this Slowking? Why does it still look not so smart?

Slowking cast his eyes on him, opened his mouth and spit out a string of bubbles.

"&x-on:#%."

Naoki was slightly stunned. Was it Slowking who was talking just now?

"Rotom, help translate it?" He looked at his Rotom phone.

However, the Rotom phone translated a garbled code: "Cannot translate Loto!"

"Scan Slowking." Naoki changed the question.

Rotom: "Slowking, known as the sage of the sea, is always calm and at ease.

In some areas, there is a saying that goes "Ask Slowking if you get lost", which shows that it is well known for its intelligence.

Although it will help solve any problem asked of it, no one can understand its language, Loto!"

Naoki: "..."

So did Slowking create its own language system after evolving?

In any case, it's enough that Slowking has evolved successfully.

Although the way of evolution is a bit strange, looking at the way Slowking looks now, it seems to get along well with Shellder.

Probably?

"Slowking, do you still recognize me?" Naoki swam in front of Slowking and pointed at himself and asked.

Slowking looked at him with wise eyes and then nodded slightly.

Of course it remembered that it was this human named Naoki who brought it here and helped it evolve into Slowking.

But...

Who is it? Where is it? Why does this world exist?

Slowking didn't understand, and couldn't help but fall into thinking about the world.

Naoki looked up and said to Slowking: "Let's leave here first? Let's go back to the ranch."

Slowking thought about everything on the World Tree, nodded, and said a string of words that Naoki couldn't understand.

Naoki and Slowking swam upstream, while recalling the plot related to Slowking in the anime.

If he remembered correctly, in the movie "Lugia's Birth", there was a Slowpoke living on Asia Island.

That Slowpoke was very special. Not only could it predict the future, but it could also speak human language.

So the question was, could all Slowpokes learn this, or was it that only that special Slowpoke in the world could learn human speech?

Naoki was not sure, so he decided to have a good chat with this Slowpoke after returning to the ranch.

Since the mobile Rotom could not translate, he tried to translate the melon seed crisps.
