Chapter 40: Salt Stone Treasure, Settle In!
Lunch time.
Naoki propped his chin and looked at the few Pokémon in front of him for lunch.
Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu eat as usual, chew slowly, and eat in small bites.
So Loton and the Moto Lizard are as rugged as ever.
After eating a few big bones, I saw Gu Lerton take the bowl of black truffle milk porridge and swallow it tons by tons, breaking a feeling of swallowing dates.
"It's a pity that neither Lerton nor the motorcycle lizard can produce milk."
Looking at this scene, Naoki couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart.
Although the cream fairy can spray cream, cream is not milk after all, and there is a certain difference between the concept of the relationship between water and ice.
The production of mini-fu is olive oil, which has nothing to do with milk.
In the afternoon, Kerry arrived on time with the construction team.
Naoki told her the location he had chosen in advance, and then rode to the direction of the cauldron lake.
Today he didn't go fishing, but to see Yosuke and the five salt stones.
Seeing that he didn't have a fishing net or rod in his hand, Yosuke seemed a little unaccustomed to it.
"Won't catch any fish today?" He asked.
Naoki shook his head: "Relax once in a while, too." ”
Yosuke: "That's not what you told me a few days ago. ”
Naoki: "...... Well, enough money was saved to build a Pokémon hut, so be prepared to take a break for a while until the end of the work. ”
"I see!" Yosuke frowned and said, "I also have good news for you here." ”
Naoki was stunned for a moment: "What? ”
Yosuke turned around and clapped his hands: "Everyone, come out!" ”
As his voice fell, the five salt stone treasures ran out of the cave in clusters of each other.
"Salt salt ~ salt salt!"
Yosuke smiled, "They have already made a decision to leave here and go to your ranch to live with you!" ”
Hearing this, Naoki was suddenly surprised: "Really? ”
Yosuke didn't answer, and the group of salt stone treasures replied in unison: "Salt salt~"
Naoki was very happy: "Great! ”
Yosuke: "What are you doing there, take out the Poké Balls and put them in!" They've been looking forward to it for a long time! ”
"Oooh!" Naoki hurriedly took out five Poké Balls from the pocket of his blue overalls.
He crouched down and placed the Poké Ball on the ground, and the five Salt Stone Treasures came forward one by one.
With a slight touch of his head, the small body turned into a beam of red light and was collected into the Poké Ball.
The Poké Ball shook slightly, and then fell completely silent.
Immediately after that, there was the second, the third.
Until the last one was subdued, Naoki held the five Poke Balls in his hand, and his heart was full of joy.
"Congratulations!" Yosuke said with a smile.
Naoki put the five Poke Balls away, and then thanked Yosuke: "It's me who should thank you, I've been bothering you these days." ”
Yosuke waved his hand indifferently: "It's just a favor for you, it just so happens that I also need to investigate the Pokémon ecology here nearby, but then again, have you been going to see that fast dragon these nights?" ”
Naoki nodded: "Yes, yes." ”
When he and Gu Leton were fishing, they would also take time to go there to see the fast dragon.
"It's just...... It was still the same as the first time, ignoring us, and left with a silent sigh, as if it didn't like to be disturbed. ”
Yosuke dragged his chin and pondered, "Is that so?" ”
He also spoke about what he had discovered these days.
"According to my investigation, there is no Pokémon like the fast dragon near the cauldron lake, and combined with the fact that it flies from the Sipadia Sea and flies back to the depths of the sea every time, I speculate that its lair should not be near here, but in the distant sea."
Hearing this, Naoki's heart moved.
This reminded him of the huge fast dragon that appeared near the Zhenghui Lighthouse in the Guandu area.
He asked, "By the way, Yosuke, have you heard of the legend of "The Huge Shadow on the Sea"? ”
"Nope." Yosuke was curious: "What is that?" ”
Naoki: "It is said that in the depths of the sea, there is a super huge fast dragon, it is dozens of meters tall, and like a monster, it will roar and wander on the sea. ”
Yosuke was a little shocked: "A huge fast dragon of dozens of meters, how can such a fast dragon exist?" It's only in Pokémon Hollywood's monster tokusatsu films! ”
Naoki: "...... When I didn't say. ”
Yosuke didn't pay much attention to it, he continued to ponder, "However, I did hear another rumor related to Kualong, do you want to hear it?" ”
"Huh?"
Yosuke didn't sell it and continued, "Legend has it that somewhere in the vast sea, there is an isolated island where only fast dragons live. ”
"A traveling fleet was traveling on the sea, and they were unfortunate enough to encounter a storm, and a man in distress was drifting on the sea with the planks of the ship, and a fast dragon rescued him and brought it back to that isolated island, that paradise that belonged to the fast dragon."
"This kind of thing can happen." Naoki Road.
After all, most dragons are kind-hearted Pokémon.
Everywhere you look, you can often hear that it has rescued people who have drowned in the sea or Pokémon.
If the dragon finds a ship shipwrecked in a storm, it will guide it to the edge of land, which is why many ships sailing on the sea will set up a statue of the dragon on the bow of the ship to pray for a safe return from the trip.
So, the question is, is that fast dragon from fast dragon island?
At this moment, this question appeared in the hearts of Naoki and Yosuke at the same time.
They glanced at each other, and Yosuke showed a very interested gaze, and he excitedly said, "Is there really such an island in the sea?" ”
A one-of-a-kind, out-of-this-world, Kuailong Island is inhabited by a large number of fast dragons.
"It should exist, right?"
Naoki remembered that in the anime, Ash had visited one such island and subdued a miniature dragon there.
The mini-dragon later evolved into a fast dragon that likes to hug, helping Ash win the championship of the Eight Masters.
Hearing this, Yosuke grabbed Naoki's shoulder.
Naoki was taken aback.
"Naoki, let's go on an adventure together!"
Yosuke's eyes shone with a wistful light.
An island where only fast dragons exist! How exciting! If you could see that with your own eyes......
Naoki wordlessly pushed his face away: "You don't know the exact location of that island. ”
Yosuke suddenly looked depressed: "That's right." ”
Then, he quickly pulled himself together again, full of motivation: "However, I will not give up!" As long as I don't stop traveling, one day I'll find that Kualong Island! ”
"Come on!" Naoki encouraged him, then waved his hand, "I have to go." ”
Yosuke hurriedly said, "Where are you going?" ”
Naoki put away a few Poké Balls containing the Salt Stone Treasure, looked at the other empty Poké Balls inside, and said, "Go and see if you can take the other Pokémon back to the ranch." ”
For example, mount lamb, tropical dragon......
