Chapter 440: The Great Sage Daidai, the Motor Lizard's Heartache

Before surfacing, Naoki looked at the group of weaklings that led the way for him.

The eyes of weaklings are wet and glowing, which makes them look pitiful and cute.

In addition, weaklings are very weak, and they are born with a pitiful temperament that makes people love them.

Naoki reached out and touched his pocket, took out the last bottle of Moo Moo Milk, opened the bottle cap, and let the milky white liquid flow into the sea.

Seeing this scene, the weaklings were very happy and rushed forward to drink the milk.

Looking at this group of cute little fish Pokémon, Naoki's heart moved, and then he asked:

"Weaklings, do you want to come back with me to live with me?"

The weaklings quickly shared the milk, and when they heard this, they all looked at Naoki.

"Just go to my territory, there are no Pokémon there that will hurt you, and I will also teach you to grow seaweed on the seabed. As long as you are willing to spend a little time to take care of them, you will never have to worry about being hungry in the future." Naoki said with a smile.

Water-attributed Pokémon like the Weevilfish are also very cute, not only that, they will also lead him the way.

Naoki wanted to invite them to settle back on Dragonite Island, one to thank them for helping him find the Big Tongue Shell, and the other to enrich the ecology of the nearby sea area and establish a complete ecosystem.

The Weevilfish now completely trust the human in front of them, and they happily agreed to hear this.

Seeing this, Naoki happily took out the Poké Ball and put the Weevilfish in it.

But the number of Weevilfish is really too large. There are at least a hundred of them in front of them, and the Poké Ball is not enough.

After a little thought, Naoki asked the Weevilfish to wait here, and then floated to the surface.

Gulerton was playing with the sea water with his claws out of boredom.

Hearing the noise coming from the sea not far away, it quickly raised its head and looked over there.

"Ah, gahi!"

Gulton swam over quickly.

Naoki reached out and touched its big head, then dialed the number of the Bud Crown King with the Rotom phone, intending to ask him to use his superpowers to directly transfer these weakling fish to the World Tree.

Soon, the call was connected, and after hearing Naoki's plan, the Bud Crown King said nothing.

He used instant teleportation to come to the beach of Zicqin Town, and then used his superpowers again to transfer all these weakling fish, Slow King, Naoki and Guulton to the World Tree.

On Dragonite Island, the Dragonites who were sitting on the beach eating tree fruits were shocked by the sudden change.

It was not until they saw Naoki's appearance clearly that they all breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be Naoki!

Naoki greeted the Dragonites, and then threw the weakling fish into the sea.

He jumped into the water and said to the group of weaklings: "From now on, this place is your new home. There is no danger here. Stay here with peace of mind!"

The weaklings looked around and found no danger in this sea area, which means that what Naoki said is true.

A sea without danger... The weaklings also saw lush water plants and seaweed growing on the seabed.

A lot of food, is this heaven?

The weaklings showed a happy look on their faces.

"That's it for now. I still have something to do. I will teach you how to grow seaweed and create a lively underwater farm later." Naoki smiled softly.

The weaklings nodded repeatedly, and then began to form a large team to explore this unfamiliar sea area.

Next, Naoki prepared to take Slow King to the top of the World Tree and communicate with it using the translator Melon Seed Crisp.

Before leaving, he specifically told Dragonite not to hurt the newly joined weaklings.

Seeing Naoki say this, the Dragonites, who already had endless sea bass and tree fruits, nodded their heads, indicating that they would not hurt the small fish.

"I believe you." Naoki smiled and touched the heads of the Dragonites.

The weaklings can take care of the seaweed, but they have a small appetite and cannot eat so much seaweed.

In this case, the excess seaweed will be eaten by the edible ordinary sea bass.

Then, the Dragonites can start to enjoy the plump fish meat.

*

After leaving Dragonite Island, Naoki took a few Pokémon on the World Tree Elevator all the way up.

During this period, Slow King still had a wise look in his eyes, as if he was thinking.

It was not until they arrived in front of the lake that Slow King came back to his senses.

Naoki ate a piece of translation melon seed crisps, trying to communicate with Slow King in this way.

"Slowking, can you hear me now?"

Slowking looked at him and nodded: "Yes, hello, Naoki."

Translation of melon seed crisps really worked! Naoki felt relieved.

He continued to ask: "Can you speak human language or Pokémon language? Neither I nor other Pokémon could understand what you said before."

Slowking nodded slightly: "I don't know human language, but I can speak Pokémon language. The language just now was created by me."

Naoki: "..."

It is indeed a Pokémon with a high IQ!

As soon as it evolved, it had already created a language system that no one could understand and belonged only to itself.

Naoki took a deep breath and continued: "You should already know where this place is, right?"

King Daidai raised his head and looked around, his eyes finally resting on the top.

"If I guess correctly, this should be the inside of a huge tree, right?"

"That's right." Naoki nodded, and then introduced: "This is the World Tree, a place with the strongest natural atmosphere. I plan to build an expedition guild here specifically for Pokémon to live and live."

King Dadai listened quietly.

Naoki continued: "I invited you here before to ask you to help take care of the shop here."

After all, King Slow has a very high IQ, so it should be easy for him to open a shop and make food like a human.

However, upon hearing this, Slow King showed distress: "I'm sorry, I don't know how to open a store, because I'm just a Slow King."

Naoki: "..."

It seems that King Dadai is not interested in things between opening a store?

This made Naoki swallow all the words he was planning to say.

He hesitantly looked at the confused Slow King in front of him, and finally gave up on asking him to be the owner of the tavern.

"Okay, but that doesn't matter. You can live here at World Tree with peace of mind."

It seems that the only choice is to let the Heroes Expedition and the others go find the chimpanzees who are interested in cooking and opening a shop.

King Daidai looked apologetic: "It's really nerve-wracking!"

"It's not a big deal." Naoki began to comfort King Slow: "Don't think too much, I won't force you to do anything for me. As long as you can live here, I will be happy."

For Naoki, a collector, watching Pokémon live and play on his farm and on the World Tree is the happiest thing in the world, even if they don't do anything.

"Thank you very much, Naoki." King Dudu said: "Please give me some time to think. There are still many questions in my mind that I haven't figured out yet. They have been bothering me. I want to study ways to solve these mysteries. ”

Hearing these words, Naoki was immediately surprised.

"The mystery that bothers you? Can you tell me what it is?"

King Dadai nodded slightly.

It looked up at the sky with a confused tone: "Why is the sky blue? Why was this planet born? What is the meaning of our existence? Why can't the past be changed? Who am I? Where am I? What should I do? What to do?”

Naoki: "..."

King Dude repeated it again and said distressedly: "It's really nerve-wracking!"

Naoki immediately gave up on the idea of ​​helping Slow King solve the mystery that plagued it, because that was something only a wise man would consider.

And he is not a wise man, he is just a common man.

Thinking of this, Naoki bid farewell to King Slow, leaving him standing alone by the lake, looking up at the sky, and began to think about life.

After a long time, Pokémon such as Aegis, Minas, Mirosaurus, Tropical Dragon, and Oliva were attracted.

They surrounded the Dull King who stood motionless and was thinking about life.

The wooden guard palaces were full of doubts: "Chafu?" (What is it doing?)

Tropical Dragon shook his head: "Ugh..." (I don't know...)

The other Pokémon all looked confused.

After a long time, the Pokémon watching gradually dispersed, each going about their own business.

King Slowly raised his feet and walked to a huge stone.

It raised its short legs, climbed up awkwardly, sat cross-legged on it, and continued to think.

I don’t know how long has passed.

Three wooden geckos passed by here holding fruits.

One of the wood geckos looked at the tree fruits wrapped in leaves, with a troubled face:

"Chafu..." (It's really too bad. The fruit has been left there without being eaten, and it has rotted. It's such a waste. It would be great if there was some way to prevent it from rotting...)

The three wooden geckos did not notice the Slow King on the big rock.

They sat down and rested with their backs against the rocks.

The fruits in the orchard are growing so fast that even the Pokémon with their small appetites can't finish them all.

Mu Shou Gong originally planned to give more to Kuailong and the others, but Zhi Shu seemed to be afraid that they would starve, so he also cultivated a large tree orchard on Kuailong Island.

The fruit cannot be sent out, and the excess fruit is stored in the tree hole. The fruit at the bottom is already broken.

This made Mu Shou Gong feel very distressed.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

"If you are afraid that the fruit will spoil, dry the fruit in the sun to make dried fruit, put it in a barrel to make wine and juice, and make fruit sugar. In this way, the fruit can be stored for a longer period of time and they will not spoil. ”

Hearing this, the three wood geckos were shocked and quickly stood up and turned around.

Then, they saw King Dull sitting cross-legged on the big rock.

The wooden guards were shocked: "What?!"

Are those all true? But how did this originally stupid Slowpoke know?

King Slow seemed to have seen their thoughts, so he explained: "Those are all things I just thought about."

Okay, so awesome!

The three wooden geckos opened their eyes in disbelief.

One of the geckos who was most concerned about the fruit asked: "Chafuchafu?" (How should we make the fruit into dried fruit, juice wine, or fruit candy?)

The Slow King looked up at the sky.

There should have been a sun there.

But now, for some unknown reason, the sun is gone, and the sky has become very strange, with some broken islands floating on it.

"Sun, use sufficient sunlight to dry the fruit, and you can dry it." The Slow King explained.

The geckos looked up with it, but there was no sun in the sky here.

In order to verify the feasibility of this method, the geckos ran to find Oliva.

Hearing their ideas, Oliva thought for a while, and then brought the three geckos to a sunflower that was emitting bright sunshine.

"Li." (It should be possible here.)

So, the geckos put the fruit next to the sunflower and started to dry it.

*

After returning to the ranch, it was almost noon.

Naoki went to the kitchen humming a little tune and prepared to make lunch, but at this moment, he noticed the sad-looking Motorcycle Lizard.

Naoki was very surprised to see the Motorcycle Lizard like this.

"Motorcycle Lizard?" He called out.

The Motorcycle Lizard turned and looked over.

"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?" Naoki walked towards the Motorcycle Lizard, reached out and touched its forehead, and found that the Motorcycle Lizard was not sick.

"Gaao..." The Motorcycle Lizard lay on the ground with a listless look.

Not far away, Gulden noticed this scene, blinked his eyes, and understood it in his heart.

But it didn't say anything, nor did it run over to join in the fun and compete for favor with its past self.

"Strange, not sick?" Naoki was a little puzzled.

He felt the Motorcycle Lizard's emotions again and found that it was in a bad mood and very depressed.

Naoki frowned, and then asked softly: "Can you tell me what happened to you recently?"

"Gaao..." The Motorcycle Lizard shook its head, indicating that it had not.

It just felt that it was useless...

The past scene emerged in the mind of the motor lizard.

At that time, Naoki had just arrived at the ranch. The day before it was sent to the ranch, Mayor Thomas found it and said to it:

"Little motor lizard, the abandoned ranch is about to welcome a new owner. That is a very poor child. He lost his parents and grandfather. There is only one person left in this world. I hope you can go there to accompany him."

When the motor lizard heard this, he just felt that the human was so pitiful...

So, the kind-hearted motor lizard agreed without hesitation. It wanted to go to the ranch, go there to accompany the human and become his most capable assistant.

But later, the powerful Gulton came. At that time, the motor lizard still felt that there was nothing, except that it was a little afraid of the terrible Pokémon.

At that time, Gulton showed hostility to it and seemed to dislike it and Naoki staying together.

Naoki tried to reconcile the relationship between them. Gradually, the Pokémon named Gulton was no longer so fierce to it and seemed to accept it.

Later, he even took the initiative to teach it new moves.

But what followed was that Naoki needed its help less and less.

That Gulton was too capable.

It could fly, run, and swim in the water.

Not only that, Gulton was proficient in farm work in the fields, digging holes to plant fruit trees, and harvesting crops.

In comparison, it was too clumsy.

It couldn't run as fast as Gulton, couldn't fly, and couldn't swim.

Sometimes, Motor Lizard really envied Gulton, envied that it was so powerful and could help Naoki do so many things.

Motor Lizard, who wanted to work hard to train and become a powerful Pokémon like Gulton from the beginning, suddenly lost confidence in himself.

Since Gulton was always by Naoki's side, what was the point of it doing all that? Naoki didn't need its protection at all, and might not even need it.

It was meaningless.

But it liked Naoki very much and didn't want to leave him.

These two conflicting emotions were entangled with each other, making Motor Lizard feel very uncomfortable.

Motorlizard suddenly fell ill.

This made Naoki very anxious.

Motorlizard was always listless, even stopped training, and did not answer Naoki's questions. He lay listlessly in front of the fireplace from morning to night without moving.

At first, Naoki fed Motorlizard with Life Goat Milk, but Motorlizard still showed no signs of improvement.

Afterwards, Naoki asked for help from Bud Crown, but Bud Crown shook his head, saying that he had no way.

Naoki was worried, and several Pokémon who had a good relationship with Motorlizard were also worried.

Frostmilk, Glaceon, Uruk-O, Dragonite, and Bubble-Duck came to comfort it, but none of them worked.

Even the power of the dragon could not sense Motorlizard's thoughts.

This Pokémon seemed to have suddenly closed its heart.

Naoki took Motorlizard to the Pokémon Center in the town for a physical examination.

Soon, Miss Joy came out of the treatment room with the test report.

Her face was very serious, as if the motorcycle lizard had some serious illness.

Naoki's mood immediately sank.

Miss Joy frowned and said, "This motorcycle lizard is in a very bad mental state, and its body seems to be affected. Does it have no appetite recently and always eats poorly?"

Naoki nodded, and the motorcycle lizard did not eat the food he prepared for it.

Miss Joy continued, "This is not a physical problem. If I am not mistaken, the motorcycle lizard has a knot in its heart, and that knot makes it fall into it and unable to get out."

Heart disease? Naoki was slightly stunned. He tried to recall what happened recently. He didn't seem to ignore the motorcycle lizard?

The number of Pokémon in the ranch is increasing. He spends some time playing with them almost every day in order to take care of the emotions of each Pokémon.

Miss Joy looked at Naoki in front of her and asked, "Mr. Naoki, has the motorcycle lizard encountered something that made it sad recently? I can feel that it likes you very much, but it tries not to get close to you."

"When I checked just now, it was always looking at you outside. I think you, Mr. Naoki, must be very important to it?"

Naoki's mood suddenly sank to the bottom.

What happened to the motor lizard?

After the inspection, Naoki took the motor lizard back to the ranch.

At this time, Babu Tubo's parents came to find Naoki and said that two roosters had a fight and fell into the river.

Naoki frowned slightly, turned to the motor lizard and said, "Motor lizard, wait for me here for a while, I will make you something to eat later."

The motor lizard lay on the grass with half-open eyes, looking very listless.

It watched Naoki follow Babu Tubo's parents to rescue the rooster that fell into the river, and closed its eyes.

But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of it.

The motor lizard sensed a familiar breath.

It opened its eyes and saw Gulden looking down at it against the light.
