Chapter 355 Cat Raising Manual (Three Chapters in One)
One of the main reasons why Lei Gong agreed to go with him.
Perhaps it was because he had never taken out the Poké Ball in an attempt to subdue it.
The Phoenix Guards have always been the target of many trainers. They often accept the provocations from trainers and use their actual combat power to shatter their delusions.
Then leave them a vague figure and disappear.
In general.
It is never allowed to be greedy.
Kashiwagi looked at Lei Gong, who was always keeping a certain distance from him and slowly moving forward in the foggy forest. He felt that the other party always exuded an aura of "Don't take the ball, you will lose your friends if you take the ball."
I believe this is not his illusion. When he took out the Poké Ball to take back the Happy Egg, Lei Gong kept staring at it. Those who didn't know thought it also wanted to score a goal.
"I didn't notice it before, so you are so big?"
Kashiwagi couldn't help but talk to Lei Gong, but the latter didn't answer and glanced at him very coldly.
This guy's shoulder height plus head is 1.9 meters, like a majestic horse, but his limbs and body are several times thicker than a horse. His streamlined muscles and mottled tiger skin make him quite intimidating.
When he was lying down before, he was like a small mountain, and he was even more majestic after standing up.
"Walk carefully, don't get the bandage too wet, if it gets dirty or loose, you will have to bandage it again." He spoke again.
Lei Gong still didn't answer, and even yawned, looking very cold.
It's very similar to the white-sleeved tabby cat that Kashiwagi kept at home in his previous life. It's basically not allowed to get within one meter of you unless it's mealtime. It doesn't even look at you when it passes by you.
It seems that he doesn't understand his status as a pet, and that the person who provides food every day is the owner rather than some sucker.
Kashiwagi has recently been used to enjoying Pokémon that are either enthusiastic or hypocritical, especially the two-headed Tyrannosaurus that is like a dog and wants to stick to people 24 hours a day. It’s a bit strange to suddenly encounter such a cold one——
And it feels cool.
There is no way, people are sometimes so mean.
All the way to the ranger’s hut.
The iron cages placed near the hut are empty. A strange ranger and a Lotte Kappa are cleaning and dismantling. Four Floatballs are hanging under the eaves, closing their eyes and seeming to enjoy the fresh moisture after the rain.
As wild Pokémon that usually only appear in wet seasons, this period of time after the rain may be their favorite.
Suddenly.
A Floatball looked towards the woods and saw Kashiwagi and Porygon coming out with dew on their bodies, "Fu~!"
As soon as it spoke, the other Floats also opened their eyes and flew forward happily.
"Fu~"
"Why are you still here? Are you waiting for me?"
Kaomu looked at the Floats with some surprise, squeezed their loving little hands, and looked at the new ranger who was looking at him not far away, "Uncle, are they also Pokémon living here?"
Miss Junsha usually releases wild Pokémon caught by Pokémon hunters if they can be released on the spot, and finds ways to release them in their native habitat if they can't be released on the spot. If they really can't be released, they will find a trainer who is willing to adopt them.
If they can't be found...
They can only be released in the planned Pokémon protection area.
"No."
The ranger who was rescued earlier came out of the hut, carrying his luggage and smiling, "They must say goodbye to you before they are willing to leave."
"Eh? Do they fly back by themselves?"
"That's not the case. I have agreed with Miss Junsha that I will take them back to Sinnoh." The ranger pointed at himself and said proudly, "Don't look at your age. When I was young, which area did I not go to? I just happened to go to Jiayuan City to recuperate."
"Puchi!"
The new ranger almost laughed out loud, "Come on! You only know how to brag!"
"La Ba!" Lotte Kappa laughed out loud.
The former's face flushed, "Why did you brag?"
"You know whether it's bragging or not."
The two began to quarrel, and they looked very familiar.
Kashiwagi retracted his gaze and touched the heads of several floating balls. Although the time they spent together was extremely short and they fought because of premeditated misconduct at the beginning, they also established a friendship over a meal afterwards.
Wild Pokémon in animations are always particularly prone to developing a liking for humans. It could be a meal, a battle, saving or being saved, or even being praised for helping someone pick up a pair of glasses that fell into the water.
This is different from the wild Pokémon in "Legend of Arceus" who would flee or fight when they saw people.
"See you again if we are lucky!"
He patted the heads of the Puffballs one by one, took out a few Poké Cubes from his pocket and handed them over.
Fortunately, there was enough food in reserve, and they could pick up some wild vegetables, mushrooms, and tree fruits in the wild. Otherwise, even the richest pockets would be empty if they were fed like this.
"Fu~"
The Puffballs happily ate the Poké Cubes.
After a while.
The ranger took the Puffballs on an inflatable kayak and left along the stream. Kashiwagi stood in the woods and watched the kayak disappear at the end of his sight.
"Travel is always accompanied by encounters and partings, over and over again."
He couldn't help but sigh, looking at Porygon and the Thunder God who was dormant in the woods, "Are you right?"
"Pah~"
"...Roar."
The Thunder God who had been silent all this time actually responded.
Obviously, during its long journey across many regions, it also encountered one or two figures who were reluctant to leave, which left a deep impression in its heart.
Now, seeing the floating balls waiting for a long time to say goodbye to Kashiwagi, it refreshed its cognition of this human, and it was inevitable that it had some thoughts in its heart.
I don’t know how those people are now...
Leigong slowly got up and walked towards the lush forest. His recognition of Kashiwagi increased a little. It was originally just a helpless move due to some special reasons and the hope that the injury could be recovered soon.
Now he feels that agreeing to it is the right choice.
Although this guy is very strange and a little annoying, the food he cooks is delicious, and he is kind to any Pokémon.
Yes, the food he cooks is delicious.
Leigong believes that this is the destiny and practice given to it by the tower master, the Phoenix King, to walk in the world as the messenger of the Phoenix King, punishing evil and keeping a distance from humans, but not completely breaking away from the intersection with humans.
This is the way of dealing with the world of the Phoenix King Guard.
It kicked the ground with its hind legs and jumped onto a moss-covered rock like a nimble big cat.
Unexpectedly, Baimu's voice suddenly sounded.
"Well, Fu Yanzhen is behind you, and you're walking the wrong way. And be careful with your bandage, it's going to fall off..."
Lei Gong's movements suddenly froze.
"Roar..."
It turned around, pretending that nothing had happened, and jumped onto a big tree, as if it was going in that direction just to get leverage.
Squeak... Snap...
The branches of the big tree groaned, as if protesting against the weight that this life could not bear.
Baimu couldn't help but smile teasingly, and just as he was about to say a few words, he saw a pair of extremely unfriendly eyes faintly revealed above the treetops.
The wide-open bright red vertical pupils were somewhat scary.
He decisively shut up.
——
In the evening.
Baimu camped on the mudflats close to the river.
Lei Gong was pretending to be reserved, and he chose a piece of grass about ten meters away and lay down, always keeping a perfect distance, warning the other party that he was not his Pokémon, and not to have any expectations.
But soon, he was pulled closer by Happiny, who was always concerned about the wounded.
"Roar..."
"Happy!"
Happiny looked at it very seriously. He could give in to many things at ordinary times, but he would never give up an inch in health!
Lei Gong had no choice but to lie down on a blanket that Happiny had laid out for him before this guy could grab his teeth - it was a little more comfortable than grass.
"Hey!" "Hey!"
The two-headed Tyrannosaurus came to Lei Gong and sniffed its scent. A look of shock appeared on his face, which was only half covered by hair.
Normally.
It relies on the smell of the enemy to identify the strength, and it has always been successful. Who would have thought that it would fail today.
It can't smell whether the smell of this big guy is strong or weak.
Or... try to take a bite?
The smell may not be good, but the taste may be.
"Hey..." "Hey..."
When the Tyrannosaurus was about to open its mouth, it saw the bandage on Leigong's body, and then turned its head to the Happy Egg who was cutting vegetables not far away. The latter smiled kindly and raised the kitchen knife in his hand to cut quickly.
Da Da Da Da.
The vegetables quickly turned into filaments and slices.
Looking at those unfortunate vegetables, the Tyrannosaurus, whose head did not turn around, slowly closed its mouth.
Curiosity has a price to pay, and this price... the Tyrannosaurus felt that it might not be able to bear it.
Everyone knows that it is the most favored in the team on the surface, but the Happy Egg is actually favored.
No matter what the latter wants, the trainer will unconditionally satisfy it. Even if the size becomes bigger, there will always be a place for Happy Egg on the bed, and when it "gets sick", it will always look for Happy Egg first.
Daunted.
The Tyrannosaurus silently retreated and annoyed the trainer.
"..."
Leigong looked at this strange guy, not quite understanding what he was doing, but he has always been very tolerant of Pokémon, so he just pretended not to see it.
Turning his sight, he saw a big guy with silver glitter and sharp horns diving into the water. Although he had no fins or webbed feet and looked like a rock-type Pokémon, he was very good at swimming, even his friends were just stepping on the water.
Accompanying him was a purple fish.
On the shore.
The cute-looking Pokémon was spinning on one foot, and it was unknown what it was doing; the particularly large Steelix was obviously a ground-type Pokémon, but it was flying around in the air;
Hmm? Is that a stone? How can it fly? Is it also a Pokémon?
Raikou's eyes were withdrawn from Galar Sun Coral and finally fell on Porygon. He remembered that it was this guy who turned off the crystal system... but it was also an existence he had never seen before, and it looked very strange.
Happiny... I really don't want to mention it.
Raikou crossed his claws, and his huge head lay on his claws, closing his eyes to rest.
Sure enough, a weirdo should have a group of weird Pokémon partners around him. Seeing that it was not just that guy who was weird, he felt relieved.
Besides, since it has already boarded this pirate ship, it is too lazy to worry about it anymore.
Not long after.
A lingering fragrance surrounded its nose.
"Dinner is ready!!"
Kaishi's call made its ears hidden under the white fur move slightly. Following the countless calls, it slightly raised one eyelid and found that a bowl of food had been placed in front of it.
"Your share, if it's not enough, call me, you don't have a limit."
Hmm?
What do you mean you don't have a limit?
Lei Gong raised his head and looked around, and found that even the Steelix, which was much bigger than him, didn't have as much food as he did. Although there were two bowls in front of the Pokémon with two heads, the amount was halved.
"They must control their food intake and eat small meals frequently, which will help their growth."
Kaishi took the initiative to answer its doubts, "Eat with peace of mind."
"Roar..."
Lei Gong didn't actually understand. Seeing that the Pokémon in front of him had obviously finished their own share and still had an extremely strong appetite, but had no intention of going to the boiler to grab the remaining food, he was a little surprised.
You know, Pokémon are often very loyal to their desires, especially appetite.
Being able to make his Pokémon resist their desires is enough to prove that Kashiwagi is actually a particularly good trainer, at least he is excellent in training Pokémon.
In this case.
Why didn't he express his intention to subdue me?
It's not that Raikou is narcissistic, but he has met too many trainers who want to subdue him, both strong and weak.
Maybe... he is concerned about his own injuries?
Raikou looked at Kashiwagi, who was surrounded by Pokémon and was smiling, and a little curiosity about this strange human arose in his heart, and it was planted in his heart like a seed.
After dinner.
After eating a large bucket of leftover food, Raikou lay down to rest. He was not polite at all, eating as much as he could, and his belly was like a bottomless pit. He could not swell up no matter how much he ate, which made Tyrannosaurus and Steelix envious.
After washing the dishes, Kashiwagi did not rush to start training, but sat in front of Raikou to chat with him.
"I say, why don't I seem to see you licking your fur and paws? Don't legendary Pokémon need to lick their fur? Is this the reason why your fur has no smell?"
"..."
Leigong slightly raised his eyelids and looked at the former with a very speechless look.
It was difficult for him to explain his own problems to the curious baby in front of him, and he didn't want to explain such boring things to him.
Kashiwagi, who didn't get a response, was not in a hurry and continued: "Can I touch your head?"
"Roar~"
Leigong grinned and showed a mouthful of sharp fangs, with an attitude of "if you dare to try, I dare to bite."
"What about your face? The layer on your face is fur, not the stratum corneum--ah!"
Kashiwagi quickly pulled back his hand. This guy really bit as soon as he said he would, and he almost bit it. After all, he is also a member of the Phoenix Guard. Why is he so stingy when he punishes evil and promotes good on weekdays?
"Squeak."
Leigong turned his head with great disdain.
Kashiwagi was inevitably a little sad, and quietly went around to touch its back.
Leigong: "..."
Why is this person so annoying?
It wanted to follow its wildness and grab it with its claws, but reason prevailed after all. Otherwise, it would not have formed the Phoenix Guard with two other companions to repay the Phoenix King and run around the world to uphold justice.
Forget it, just touch it.
It's just a human child anyway.
When Lei Gong thought so, he felt much more comfortable, and then a tingling sensation surged up his spine to his brain, causing his palms to open up, his sharp claws to show, his fur to tighten suddenly, and his head to rise.
"Roar!?"
It suddenly opened its eyes wide, looked at Kashiwagi in disbelief and tried to stand up, but found that its legs and feet were sore and weak.
"Don't get excited, use normal techniques, I'm a professional."
The latter smiled proudly and continued to press and touch several sensitive points on Lei Gong's back.
If possible, he would also like to touch the belly, but he was afraid of being electrocuted by the angry Lei Gong, so he kept focusing on the upper part of the spine and didn't dare to go to the lower part.
Just now, I took a quick look at a certain part -
There are no balls, not even a bag.
In this case, the upper part of the tail root is probably useless, and the spine must be used. He slightly increased the strength of his hand. This big cat is more difficult than expected. It is not a big problem to grab it with a little more force. The legendary Pokémon is different after all.
"Roar..."
Thunder God stretched out his claws in humiliation and comfort. Fortunately, no one paid attention to this side, otherwise it would really go crazy.
It has been hundreds of years, and this is the first time to enjoy such treatment.
It is a bit embarrassing in the novelty.
Not long.
After being touched, Baimu pulled his hand back and smelled his fingers... Sure enough, there was only the smell of mud on the fur without fishy smell. This guy is really amazing.
"I'm going to train Pokémon. I'll serve you later." He patted Thunder God's forelimbs.
The latter didn't want to talk and shook his tail in annoyance.
The shame of a cat's life, even when it was blown up by humans' bombs, it didn't frown, but it couldn't stand up after being touched twice.
Thunder God is a little autistic.
Occasionally, he would raise his eyelids to pay attention to Kashiwagi who was training Pokémon.
The more he observed, the more he was sure that Kashiwagi was excellent as a human trainer, not only in terms of combat power, but also in his cooperation with his Pokémon partners, without too many words or instructions.
Even with just a glance or a gesture, those Pokémon could understand what Kashiwagi meant and do it perfectly according to his requirements.
These places were enough to show their accumulated efforts and their performance that seemed to be in sync with each other.
Thunder God yawned like a lazy cat.
far away.
Kashiwagi looked over at it frequently, wanting to let Raikou help with training, but considering that this guy was tortured enough during the day, he gave up.
To be honest, considering the healing ability of the mythical beast, its injuries are exaggerated. As long as it can obtain enough energy, it should not take long to recover.
With the hot springs in Fuyan Town, it will probably heal faster.
Sure enough, I have to take advantage of this time to have a good time.
Kashiwagi thought to himself.
Although he didn't have the extravagant hope of conquering Thunder King, he inevitably wanted to get closer to the legendary Pokémon. After all, these guys had a special aura around them.
What Pokémon lover doesn't like mythical beasts and fantasy beasts? At least he likes every one of them.
Exercise is over.
Happy Egg ran to the sleepy Lei Gong without stopping.
"Happy~"
"Roar?"
It ignored Lei Gong's doubts and began to remove the dirty and messy bandages on the latter's body. This big cat likes to go off the beaten path, and being so big, it inevitably bumps into branches and rocks. No matter how good the bandage is, it will be useless after a long time. .
And the dressing needs to be changed.
Unable to resist the powerful Happy Egg, Lei Gong had no choice but to let it deal with his wounds.
What kind of evil did he do to meet such a pair? The key is that he was eaten to death by them and couldn't get angry at all.
"Roar!"
It suddenly widened its eyes and roared at the happy egg, which was trying to make it fall on all fours.
Showing your belly or anything like that - absolutely not allowed!
This is the dignity of the Phoenix Guards!
It turned its head to look at Kashiwagi who was approaching creptly beside it, and began to bared its teeth, "Aw..."
"Kick it, hit it, don't get excited."
Kashiwagi said with a smile.
He planned to take advantage of Happy Egg's opportunity to change Lei Gong's medicine and have fun in the name of attacking him, but unfortunately he was discovered by this guy right away.
"Roar!"
Lei Gong was determined not to allow him to get closer, at least not today.
"All right……"
Kashiwagi sighed regretfully, and his eyes swept over Lei Gong's chin and forehead. Unfortunately, these two places were not allowed to be touched, otherwise it would definitely make this guy roll around in pleasure.
He is extremely confident in his method of calming Pokémon, which is based on the ranch uncle's breeding techniques.
Speaking of which, I wonder if you can pick up catnip, alpinia, etc. on the road. Applying it on your hands will definitely make Lei Gong let go of his current reserve.
He didn't believe that Thunder God was a rock that even a hammer could not break.
Before falling asleep, Kashiwagi extended an invitation to the big cat, "Would you like to come into the tent? It's more comfortable inside than outside!"
Lei Gong returned the look with indifference.
You'd have to be crazy to go in.
——
early morning.
Lei Gong woke up very early, got up before dawn, went into the woods and walked around, ran to a high place, roared twice, and stretched his muscles.
It feels like its wounds are healing quickly.
Was it the medicine that Happy Egg applied to himself?
Lei Gong didn't know.
When it returned to the Cypress Camp, it found that the other party had already woken up and had made breakfast.
"Well, you're back? Come and have breakfast. The conditions are difficult because there are not many ingredients left. I picked up some on the way today." Kashiwagi waved to it.
"..."
Lei Gong paced and observed the lively camp.
I thought that these guys would still be awake when I came back, but I didn't expect that they were all awake and even the food was ready.
"What are you waiting for? Come and eat. We'll be on the road after eating. According to our speed, we will still have to walk for several days to get to Fuyan Town!" Kashiwagi saw that Lei Gong was still taking his time, so he called out to ask him to speed up.
Upon hearing this, the latter simply jumped over.
The distance of more than ten meters was crossed casually.
"Oh! Such bouncing power!"
Kashiwagi looked at it in surprise and placed the rice bowl in front of it, "Eat whatever you want. I made a lot today, so I will definitely take care of it."
"..."
Lei Gong didn't speak, he just lowered his head and ate silently.
The food is delicious as always.
Kashiwagi's eyes were full of smiles, and he believed that if he continued at this pace, Raikou would gradually become accustomed to him, just like the Galar Sun Coral.
Isn't it just a matter of casualness where you want to go?
really.
Just as he thought.
During the next few days of traveling, Lei Gong gradually resisted his touch from the beginning and then gradually became less concerned about it, and even enjoyed it a little bit and looked forward to it.
At the same time, I will wait for the meal and order on time.
That's right.
This majestic big cat can even choose what he likes to eat.
Kashiwagi looked at Lei Gong, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.
And finally.
After several days of climbing over mountains and ridges, with bursts of sulfur-scented breeze blowing in their faces, they arrived at the largest volcano in the Hoenn region—
Near Chimney Hill.
Fuyan Town is also close at hand.
