Chapter 61 Pray for Rain 10,000 Times and Master the Ultimate Magic Skill! (4000)

Near noon, the rain finally stopped.

The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, revealing bright but not dazzling sunlight.

Naoki took off the hood of his raincoat, looked at Dragonite who was in the state of perception not far away, and asked Gulden under him:

"Gulden, do you think Dragonite can successfully comprehend the rain prayer?"

Gulden opened his mouth and yawned: "Ah, gah..."

Suddenly, Dragonite opened his eyes violently.

Then, the sky moved.

The dark clouds that had just dissipated came back to cover Dragonite, gathering above Dragonite's head and colliding with each other.

Looking at this scene, Naoki was a little excited.

Success?

However, the imagined rain did not come.

The dark clouds gathered quickly and dispersed quickly.

The weather became clear again.

Seeing that the rain prayer failed, Dragonite looked up at the sky blankly, as if a little puzzled.

Naoki rode on Gulerton and flew to its side, asking, "What's going on?"

"Ouch..."

Naoki followed its gaze and looked up at the sky, thinking, and asked, "Is it the same as the 100,000 volts just now?"

Dragonite felt it carefully, and then a blank look appeared on his face.

It didn't understand it either.

Seeing this, Naoki fell into deep thought.

The power of 100,000 volts can be ranked among the best among the electric attribute moves, and accordingly, its learning difficulty will also increase.

From the performance of Dragonite just now, it seems to be imitating the process of lightning hitting it and then being launched by it.

But it did not understand the essence of 100,000 volts, so it failed to use it.

What about praying for rain?

Dragonite just successfully summoned the dark clouds, and only the last step was needed to successfully use the prayer for rain, but it failed at the critical moment.

However, Dragonite seems to have successfully realized something from this rain.

That's enough, at least it can already summon the dark clouds, as long as it practices more, it will be able to use the prayer for rain one day.

After all, this is its first time using it, which is already pretty good.

Naoki was satisfied, and he couldn't help but think that Dragonite seemed to have become smarter.

Although it was a coincidence that it learned the Thunder Fist, it learned it by itself.

For an ordinary Pokémon, this is really an exaggerated thing.

Or did the thunder just split Dragonite's mind?

But on second thought, Dragonite had learned Dragon Tail within a few days before, which means that its comprehension does not seem to be that bad, but it is just more straightforward and does not know how to use the moves.

Thinking of how it was fooled by him before, Naoki felt that this was possible.

And this Dragonite is working hard enough!

If this is true, then he has picked up a treasure!

After the few people returned to the ground, Naoki led Dragonite to the farmland area and set the next training direction for it.

"Don't worry about the 100,000 volts. Use the faster rain-praying skill first. You can practice rain-praying here in the future!"

"Awoo~" Dragonite readily agreed. Even if Naoki didn't say it, it would work hard to practice rain-praying until it successfully used this move.

Seeing this scene, Naoki smiled and said, "Then when you practice it, the work of watering the land will also be left to you!"

"Woo?" Dragonite blinked, looking puzzled.

Naoki didn't explain to Dragonite, but told it a story.

The protagonist of the story is a Pokémon named Keldeo.

It has a hardworking personality and practices sword-drawing and sword-swinging every day. After drawing the sword 10,000 times, it finally comprehended a peerless magic move.

With only one move of the holy sword, it defeated the legendary Pokémon Kyurem, who has the title of the strongest dragon.

At this point, Naoki changed the subject and said in an exaggerated way:

"Maybe you can only make it rain in this small area now, but as long as you keep practicing, one day, the whole world will be covered in your rain, and all Pokémon will look up to you."

"Awooo!"

Dragonite's eyes lit up with a "swish".

Although he didn't know what Kyurem was and who Keldeo was, these sounded very powerful!

It immediately took on the watering task, turned around and stood in front of the farmland area, and began to practice praying for rain.

Naoki: "..."

Sure enough, he is still so innocent!

He patted Dragonite on the shoulder and smiled: "Work hard!"

Let Dragonite practice here, Naoki turned around and took off his raincoat, casually put it on the fence, and then walked towards the chicken coop.

On the way, Naoki continued to think about whether there was any food that could help Dragonite.

But his thinking was limited, and he couldn't think of any food that could enhance the dragon attribute Pokémon.

This made Naoki feel a little distressed.

What if we start with unconventional items?

For example, dragon teeth, dragon scales, etc.

Grinding these things into powder and making them into food for Dragonite can strengthen it?

Naoki wanted to try, but it was difficult to obtain these two things.

Although it is possible to directly extract teeth and scales from Dragonite, this Dragonite is still very young and has not reached the age of shedding scales and teeth.

Forcibly extracting scales and teeth will cause it considerable damage, which will be painful.

Naoki continued to think.

His brain worked quickly, from Pokémon's moves, to the props in the game, to various dragon-related items.

And at this moment, Naoki suddenly noticed a move.

That is Nature's Grace!

Nature's Grace: A general move that gains power from tree fruits to attack. Depending on the different tree fruits carried, the attributes and power of the move will also change.

According to this move, it can be deduced that the tree fruits also contain different attribute energies!

Fruits related to dragons...

Information about several kinds of tree fruits emerged in Naoki's mind.

Leba fruit, lemon fruit, Jiazhen fruit, and berry fruit.

So, can we start with these kinds of tree fruits?

Although it is okay to make dishes with tree fruits, Naoki has a better idea in comparison.

That is Pofen and Energy Cube!

Both of these are Pokémon snacks made from tree fruits.

Thinking of this, Naoki made up his mind to visit the dessert shop in the town after the weather clears tomorrow.

As for now, he has to settle the group of newly hatched chicks.

Walking into the chicken coop, Naoki deliberately looked around and observed the situation inside the house.

The plum blossom footprints on the floor were still there, and nothing else appeared.

This meant that the other party had not visited this place during this period.

Naoki didn't think much and decided to look back.

The newly hatched chicks were very fragile and tender. They needed to stay in a warm environment with enough water and the right amount of feed.

Yes, the right amount of feed.

Unlike Pokémon, these little yellow chickens are not very smart, and they will not feel full after eating.

Therefore, as long as there is food in the feed trough, they will keep eating until they die of bloating.

Therefore, Naoki abolished the free feeding system in the chicken coop and adopted artificial feeding, and resumed it after the chicks grew up.

He added the right amount of feed to the feed trough and closed the doors and windows of the chicken coop to prevent the chicks from running outside or cold wind and rain from blowing in.

After finishing all this, it was noon, and Naoki began to prepare lunch for many Pokémon.

After lunch, he began to wrap grass dumplings with glutinous rice flour and green grass.

Because the lamb he rode ate so fast, he steamed a lot of food this time. He was busy until four o'clock in the evening, when the green grass dumplings came out of the pot one by one.

After putting the grass dumplings away, Naoki looked at the time.

Wow! It's already half past four, and I have to start preparing dinner again!

After a busy day, Naoki felt tired and his wrists were a little sore, like the feeling of being exhausted in a farming game.

He moved a small stool and sat under the eaves, looking at his thriving ranch. Although he was tired, he was very satisfied in his heart.

"Huh, it would be great if there was a hot spring!"

When you are tired, you can go in and soak and relax.

But unfortunately, the town of Ziqin is located in the northwest of Padiya. The nearby terrain is mainly plains, snow-capped mountains and lakes. There are no volcanoes, so hot springs are naturally impossible.

However, it is not completely impossible.

Naoki suddenly thought of a dish he had made before - hot iron nuggets.

That dish has an additional effect, that is, after giving it to Sidolan to eat, it will slightly increase its favorability.

If Sidolan can be lured here...

At that time, just dig a cave under the ranch, let Sidolan create magma life in it, and then you can build an artificial hot spring on the surface.

Sidolan got a breeder and a new house, and he got a hot spring.

At that time, you can take cute Pokémon to soak in the hot spring.

This kind of life is a beautiful thing to think about!

However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is very skinny.

The old-fashioned wall clock in the house chimed on time. It was five o'clock, and he had to prepare dinner.

Looking at the pile of ingredients in front of him waiting for him to process, Naoki couldn't help but take a deep breath.

No! The family still needs a Pokémon who is good at housework to help him process the ingredients and organize the housework!

For example, Love Butler and Magic Wall Doll.

Both of these Pokémon are very good at housework.

Because of the Magic Wall Doll in Xiaozhi's house in the anime, the fact that Magic Wall Doll can do housework has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

It can clean the yard, wake Xiaozhi up, and wash dishes. Not only that, it is also very smart and is a very good housework expert.

The housekeeper's ability to do housework is not inferior to the Magic Wall Doll. After all, this Pokémon is Miss Joy's assistant in the Galar region.

There are both male and female housekeepers, and different genders are good at different things.

Male housekeepers will stay by the master's side at all times like a housekeeper to take care of everything. It will use spiritual power to predict the trainer's actions and take care of his daily life.

Female housekeepers are very good at taking care of children. They hate fighting and can exchange information with each other through the collision of horns between partners.

But whether it is female or male, they will diligently take care of humans and Pokémon everywhere in order to seek joy and gratitude.

This is because positive emotions are the source of its energy. It will use horns to receive positive emotions from other creatures and then convert them into its own energy.

However, it seems that there is no Pokémon like the Wall-Dweller living in the Padia region.

But there is the Ai-Salmon.

"It seems that I have to pay more attention to the information of Ai-Salmon in the future." Naoki thought.

Since today was too busy, after dinner, Naoki went to bed early.

The next morning, Naoki woke up from his sleep, but felt sore all over and dizzy.

His heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help thinking: "Is it possible that I have a fever?"

No way? Didn't I just get caught in the rain yesterday?

Naoki supported himself and sat up from the bed. He looked around and began to think with his drowsy brain.

There was no thermometer or antipyretic medicine at home. It seemed that he had to go to the hospital in town.

At this time, Gulton and Motor Lizard, who were lying beside the bed, noticed his situation and came up to him with worried expressions.

"Gaao..."

"Gaxi..."

Naoki touched their heads one by one and said with a smile: "It's okay. It should be a fever caused by the rain. It's a minor illness. I'll go to the town to buy some medicine later."

With that, Naoki got up and started to prepare breakfast.

Gulton and Motor Lizard followed closely behind him.

Frosty and Minifu also looked worried.

Frosty jumped onto the stove and said sadly, "Ma..."

Dragonite, who came out of the Poké Ball and was about to deliver milk, immediately blamed himself after hearing the news.

"Woo..."

If it wasn't for helping it practice rain prayer, Naoki wouldn't be sick.

Dragonite was full of self-blame.

Seeing their appearance, Naoki was a little bit amused and cried. He sniffed and began to give instructions to several Pokémon:

"It's really okay, Dragonite, you go and deliver the goat milk to Mrs. Dantes first, Gulerton, Motor Lizard, Frosty, Minifu, you go to the side and wait, don't crowd here."

Dragonite went to deliver milk with worries in his heart.

Gulerton and several Pokémon who retreated to the side looked at each other, exchanged a few words with each other, and then began to help Naoki with the work of the ranch.

Gulerton went to help Naoki water the water, Motor Lizard went to feed the mount lamb, and Frosty took the salty food to the salt house where the salt stone treasures lived.

Seeing this, Butterfree under the eaves also flew in and stood by the bed, looking over worriedly.

The little Minifu could do nothing but wander around anxiously.

Naoki looked at this scene with amusement, but for some reason, seeing the backs of these Pokémon, he felt a sense of "my son has grown up".

That feeling was like a child raised by his own hands who knew how to help his parents with work.

Not bad, he has grown up.

Naoki smiled with relief and continued to prepare breakfast.

Because of his physical condition, today's breakfast was very simple. He casually fried a few eggs, sliced ​​tomatoes, and used them to make sandwiches.

These sandwiches had just been completed, and several Pokémon also came back.

Naoki's appetite was not very good, so he let them eat first, and he went to the chicken coop to feed the chickens himself.

And at this moment, he saw a string of plum-shaped small footprints in the room.

It had just rained, and the ground was not completely dry. The unknown creature must have accidentally touched the mud on the way over, so it left footprints again.

It seemed to be a creature walking on four legs.

The other party's target was very clear, and it was still the chicken feed in the trough.

This time, Naoki was a little more cautious and prepared to go back and make a trap to see if he could catch this "thief".
