Chapter 455 Happy Mewtwo and the Unexpected Visitor
Hoenn region, Liuli City.
A drizzle of rain fell from the sky, through the crater, and onto the stone streets in the center of the town.
Liuli Gym is located inside this city located in the volcano.
Legend has it that a long time ago, an underwater volcano erupted and then stretched out of the sea.
The crater in the center of the land formed a lake due to the accumulation of rainwater.
Soon, people found that the climate here was very warm and suitable for living, so Liuli City was built in this crater.
In order to find the two lost gems, Daigo came to this city specifically to seek help from his friend Mikoli.
However, he received the information about the two gems at this time.
At this moment, in Mikoli's private residence.
Looking at the reply on the screen, Daigo fell into a long silence.
"Rancher?" Mikoli, who witnessed everything, was full of surprise in his tone, and his face showed an interested expression: "It's really an interesting thing."
Daigo: "..."
Yes! He never thought that the orb would run from the Hoenn region to the distant Padiya region overnight. There was a hint of coincidence in the absurdity.
Those three Pokémon, Baby Bear, Zapdos, and the pink kitten Pokémon.
Daigo specially checked the relevant information last night and finally found that the Pokémon was very likely the legendary mythical Pokémon Mew.
The mysterious stranger No. 1 not only captured Zapdos, but also captured Mew, an extremely rare Pokémon.
It was hard for Daigo to imagine that the person who did this was actually a rancher.
This is not to say that he looked down on the profession of rancher, but because of his impression of the rancher...
There is absolutely no one who can capture rare Pokémon of the level of Mew and Zapdos.
"In that case, you don't have to worry." Mikoli showed an elegant smile on his face: "In any case, the Magma Team and the Ocean Team would not have thought that the two orbs had been moved to the Padiya region at this time."
When mentioning this, Daigo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
During this period of time, he has consulted a lot of ancient books and materials, and he knows very well that once the two super ancient Pokémon are awakened, it will bring a terrible disaster to the Hoenn region.
This happened thousands of years ago.
At that time, if the sky god Rayquaza had not appeared from the clouds and stopped their fight, the entire Hoenn region would probably be destroyed.
After that, the humans living in the Hoenn region also built a sky pillar for Rayquaza.
Thinking of this, Daigo replied: [Then I'll leave it to you. ]
And the other side came back quickly.
[King Wing: It's okay, after the matter is over, you can directly come to the Naoki Ranch in the town of Zheqin in the Padia region to get it. ]
[Daigo: OK. 】
Seeing the reply from the other side, Mikoli chuckled and said, "Naoki Ranch... It's getting more and more curious! I really want to see with my own eyes what a rancher who has captured a legendary Pokémon looks like."
Daigo thought calmly, "Let's wait until everything in the Hoenn region is over."
Although the Orb is gone, Team Magma and Team Aqua have now obtained the specific locations of Groudon and Kyogre.
They are likely to give up using the Orb to awaken them and use violent means to forcibly awaken the two super ancient Pokémon.
After a little thought, Daigo used the Pokémon Friend Communication to hold a remote video conference with all the gym leaders in the Hoenn region.
When everyone was present, the champion of Hoenn gave a solemn command:
"Next, I will go to Groudon's sleeping place to stop Team Magma's plan, and Mikoli will go to the deep sea to capture Team Ocean.
If we fail, please organize the citizens to evacuate in advance.
The Weather Research Institute will monitor the movements of the two super ancient Pokémon. Once they wake up from their slumber, I will ask you to help them."
"Got it!"
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
"..."
The gym leaders responded one after another, saying that they would fulfill their duties as gym leaders.
A short video conference ended.
Daigo turned his gaze to his friend again and nodded at him, saying, "Kyogre will be left to you."
Mikoli always had an elegant smile on his face: "Got it, our champion~"
Daigo: "..."
Everyone in the Hoenn region began to take action.
At the same time, in the ranch.
Naoki was chatting with Baby Bear about Mewtwo and those cloned Pokémon.
"Don't worry! Mewtwo and the others have settled down on the World Tree, and the expedition guild and other facilities have been built. You will be surprised when you come back next time!" Naoki said with a smile.
Hearing this, Mew and Bear, who were a little worried, immediately put their minds at ease.
"Does Mewtwo like the World Tree?" Mew asked.
"Should like it?" Naoki recalled Mewtwo's performance these days.
He wanted to tell Mew about this, but suddenly thought of something, slapped his head, and said: "By the way, Mewtwo also has a Rotom phone. I'll send you its number, and you can add it as a friend."
As he said that, Naoki switched to the background and shared Mewtwo's treasure friend account.
Hearing this news, Mewtwo and Baby Bear showed surprise on their faces.
They can't wait to add Mewtwo as a friend!
Before hanging up the phone, Baby Bear looked at the two beautiful gems in Naoki's hand again.
That's someone else's thing, Naoki won't rob it even if he likes it...
Baby Bear thought about it carefully, and then patted his chest and promised: "Naoki, next time I will definitely find a more beautiful gem for you!"
Naoki: "..."
He didn't doubt Baby Bear's ability to pick up treasures. With the picking characteristics + super luck + the sacred blessing of the King of Phoenix, it wouldn't be surprising even if it sent back a piece of Arceus's origin stone tablet one day.
But he was still very touched by the baby bear's kindness.
Naoki nodded and said, "Well, I believe you."
The baby bear's eyes suddenly lit up, and a happy expression appeared on his little face. He nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
Naoki took a deep breath and began to say goodbye to the hero expedition team:
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to replenish the supplies for the lightning bird now. Do you have anything you want to eat? I'll make it for you and then let the lightning bird take it over."
The baby bear wanted honey pudding and honey candy.
And Dreamy wanted energy cubes and Baofen.
Naoki nodded: "Okay, no problem, then I'll do it now!"
After hanging up the phone, Naoki asked the lightning bird if there was anything he wanted to eat.
However, this arrogant lightning bird raised his head proudly, indicating that it was not hungry.
As a result, the next second, Naoki heard the gurgling sound coming from the lightning bird's stomach.
Naoki: "..."
The lightning bird was furious.
So Naoki pretended not to see anything, turned around and went back to the room, and started to make delicious food for Mew and Baby Bear.
At the same time, Mewtwo on the World Tree suddenly received a friend request.
It was quite surprised to click it with its finger. After seeing that the avatars on the other side were Baby Bear Mew and Lightning Bird, Mewtwo understood and agreed to the friend request.
The next second, a video call came in.
Mewtwo pressed the answer button.
Then, the faces of Baby Bear and Mew appeared on the screen.
The two Pokémon greeted it excitedly.
"Mewtwo! Have you been to the World Tree? Do you like it there?" Mew asked happily.
Seeing Mew floating on the other side of the screen, Mewtwo felt soft in his heart.
It nodded slightly and replied, "Well, this is the paradise we have been looking for."
"That's good!" Dreamy nodded happily: "We will go back after completing the commission in this place. Then I will take you to the secret base of the hero expedition team!"
Mew: "Okay."
It paused and asked again: "Are you still traveling around like before?"
Dreamy hummed: "Yes! There are still many Pokémon in this world who need help!"
Hearing this, Mewtwo felt a little confused and puzzled: "Why do you... want to help other Pokémon?"
Is it because doing so can bring satisfaction to yourself?
Or is it to get the gratitude and gifts of those Pokémon?
However, Dreamy's answer was beyond its expectations.
"Because they need help!"
What? Mewtwo was slightly stunned. Is it just because those Pokémon need help?
At this time, the baby bear next to him added: "That's right! We want to make friends with everyone and invite them to the World Tree so that everyone can live together forever!"
"Playing together on the grass every day, picking fruits together, sleeping in the tree hole together, we will never feel lonely and lonely, just thinking about it makes me happy!"
"Happiness..." Mewtwo murmured and repeated these two words.
What is happiness? What does happiness feel like?
The old troubles are over, and new troubles follow.
After ending the communication with Mew and Baby Bear, Mewtwo opened the search engine on the Rotom phone and entered human words on it.
——What is happiness?
Soon, the relevant answer popped up on the webpage.
[Happiness is a long-lasting sense of satisfaction with life, the joy generated when personal needs are met, and the desire to maintain the current state of stable mood. It is a state of mind, an experience, and even a state of life. 】
Satisfaction with life... the desire to maintain the current state of stable mood...
Is it satisfied with the current peaceful life? Mewtwo asked himself.
Mewtwo's mind recalled the life on the World Tree during this period of time.
Cultivating fields, planting crops, harvesting fruits, sleeping on stones together with cloned Pokémon...
Here, no humans want to hurt them, no Rocket Team is tracking them, and there is no need to worry about starvation and war.
It is probably happy at this moment, right? Mewtwo thought.
*
Near noon, Naoki prepared the food that Mew and Baby Bear wanted.
He stuffed the packed honey pudding, honey gummies, Pofen and energy cubes into the space bag on the neck of Zapdos.
He stopped only when the space inside was full.
In addition, Naoki also prepared a pack of energy cubes for Zapdos to satisfy the taste of electric attribute Pokémon.
Finally, he checked the Poké Balls in the space bag again and found that Mew and Baby Bear had not used them to invite new partners to join the World Tree during this period of time.
Maybe it's because they have been busy looking for Jirachi?
Naoki put the things away, then touched the slightly prickly feathers of the Zapdos and said:
"Everything is ready. In addition to the food that Mew and Baby Bear want to eat, I also prepared a pack of energy cubes for you. I just don't know what flavor you like, so I made energy cubes with common flavors for electric attribute Pokémon."
Zapdos looked at Naoki in front of him with sharp eyes.
After hearing that this human also made energy cubes specifically for it, a touch of emotion flashed through the heart of Zapdos.
It is impossible not to be moved.
But as a soaring and proud Zapdos, it will never express its feelings easily.
Therefore, Zapdos turned its head and made a sharp bird cry, indicating that it was leaving.
"Well, go!" Naoki said.
Zapdos looked back, then flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
In almost the blink of an eye, it disappeared from Naoki's sight.
Looking at the figure of Zapdos, Naoki couldn't help but think of Mew and Baby Bear.
Unconsciously, the hero expedition team has traveled to many places.
It is quite touching to say that who could have imagined that at the beginning, Baby Bear was just a Pokémon that was good at using its cute appearance to cheat farmers of honey?
And now, it has become a kind Pokémon full of justice.
Naoki sighed with emotion, and he was about to turn around and take Gulden home to enjoy the air conditioning.
But at this moment, Gulden seemed to have suddenly discovered something, turned his head and looked in one direction.
"Ah, gah?"
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Gulden's reaction, Naoki looked in the direction of its gaze.
Then, in a bush, he saw the figure of a strange Pokémon.
It was a Pokémon that looked like a kitten.
It had a light green body, a dark green pattern like four overlapping leaves in the middle of its face, and green hair like a collar on its chest.
When Naoki saw the other person's appearance clearly, he was stunned.
That's... New Leaf Meow?
New Leaf Meow, the grass-attributed starter Pokémon of the Padiya region.
Eh? Did a wild New Leaf Meow break into the ranch?
Naoki instantly became alert.
But soon, he found something wrong.
The New Leaf Meow had a small bell like the one worn by Pleasant Goat hanging around its neck, and it was obvious that something had helped it put it there.
"Isn't it a wild New Leaf Meow?" Naoki murmured.
The New Leaf Meow was not afraid of him and Gulden, but walked towards them.
When they walked a certain distance, New Leaf Meow looked up at Gulden, and then at Naoki.
"Meow huh?"
Naoki was slightly stunned, then took out the Rotom phone and turned on the translation function.
"Say it again?"
New Leaf Meow looked at the Rotom phone, and then repeated: "Meow huh?"
The Rotom phone translated: "[Is this the Pokémon Tavern?]"
Eh? New Leaf Meow looking for the Pokémon Tavern?
Naoki was slightly stunned, and then asked: "What are you doing here?"
New Leaf Cat: "Meow!" (I heard that Pokémon can be helped here!)
"That's right." Naoki nodded and looked at the New Leaf Cat: "Do you want me to help you find your trainer?"
The New Leaf Cat with a bell on its neck might have lost its trainer, and then heard the news from the Pokémon who had been to the tavern, so it came here to seek help. Naoki imagined the experience of this poor New Leaf Cat.
However, the next second, New Leaf Cat turned away angrily.
"Meow!" (No!)
It ran away from home on purpose, just because its trainer was too partial to it and didn't care about it after catching a new Pokémon!
New Leaf Meow was very angry, so it decided to run away from home. Later, it heard that there was a tavern here that could help Pokémon solve problems, so it came here specially.
Naoki was very surprised to hear New Leaf Meow's answer.
If you didn't come here to ask him to help find a trainer, then why did you come here?
Thinking about it, he asked directly.
New Leaf Meow: "Meow?" (I want to ask, what can I do to make the trainer like only my Pokémon?)
Naoki was stunned.
When New Leaf Meow saw the reaction of this human, he thought he was a little stupid.
So it told all its experiences.
"Meow meow!" (Xiaodong is really too much. He doesn't care about me after catching a new Pokémon. He only takes care of those annoying Pokémon all day long! He didn't even notice that I ran away from home for several days!)
Naoki understood instantly.
"So, you want your trainer to only like you, your Pokémon?"
If he remembered correctly, Pokémon like New Leaf Meowth were afraid of loneliness and possessive of their trainers, so they would easily get jealous.
New Leaf Meowth nodded with certainty, looking at him expectantly: "Meow Ha!" (That's right! Can you help me? If you can help me, I can give you my favorite treasure!)
Naoki: "..."
He wanted to say don't ask, he and the person named Xiaodong are the same.
Sure enough, he is not the only one in the world who faces the problem of too many Pokémon and jealousy.
