In the spring of the year 198 of the Union calendar, March 14.

It's the last month of spring, followed by a hot summer.

Naoki hated the feeling of sweating, so he went to the town of Yanqin with the money he had saved these days that morning, ready to buy some air conditioners and come back.

He rode a motorcycle lizard all the way to the town's department store, and under the guidance of the shopping guide, he returned to the floor where electrical appliances were sold.

And there he selected four air conditioners, and prepared to install one for the salt house where Salt Shibao lived, the Pokémon hut where the big milk tank lived, the chicken hut, and the wooden house where he lived.

The 120,000 alliance coins were squandered in an instant, and these were all the money saved from selling crops, rock salt, milk, and goat's milk in the past half a month.

Although he had been prepared in his heart, looking at the wallet that was about to bottom out, Naoki couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh.

But there is no way, these are the necessities of life, and they must be installed before the arrival of summer.

Seeing that this guest bought so many air conditioners at one time, the shopping guide was surprised, but still arranged for someone to install it at home.

When all four air conditioners were installed, Naoki suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart.

In this way, when he waits for summer, he won't be able to sleep in the heat!

Thanks to the addition of the big milk tanks, the financial problem of the ranch has been solved, and the ranch has officially entered the next stage - the revitalization stage.

At this stage, Naoki is mainly preparing to do two things.

First, build your own house and turn it into a home in the true sense of the word, a fully functional home with a bedroom, living room, cellar, study, and bathroom.

The bedroom is used for resting, the living room can be used for entertaining occasional visitors to the ranch, and the study can be used for keeping accounts, reading books, and recording recipes.

As for the cellar......

In two weeks' time, summer was approaching, and hop cultivation could begin in earnest, and the absence of a cellar meant that he would not be able to start his brewing business.

In addition, it is necessary to prepare a sum of money to buy sake barrels.

As for the second thing, it is to grow more summer crops and use them to develop more new dishes.

Then see if there are any eligible dishes, and then use them to strengthen the Pokémon in the ranch to create a cycle.

At noon, Naoki begins to prepare lunch for a group of Pokémon.

He opened the refrigerator and looked at the hearty ingredients inside, his eyes resting on a jar of golden, viscous liquid.

Immediately after, information about the jar of liquid came to his mind.

[Tulip honey: Honey made from tulip pollen and nectar, and you can taste it with a subtle floral fragrance, making it an excellent ingredient for desserts.] ]

This is the honey that the three bees have recently collected from that flower field.

At first, I was shocked to see them collecting straight trees.

Because he remembered that tulips contained mannose and galactose, two sugars that were poisonous to bees, the bees that collected tulip flowers in that world would die on the flowers.

But it turns out that Pokémon's physique is far from being comparable to that of ordinary bees.

Although they are all "bees", the nectar of the tulips has no effect on the three bees.

Seeing this scene, Naoki relieved himself and let them collect.

Unfortunately, the baby bear left too early, and if it had been a few days later, he would have been able to eat this new taste of honey. Naoki thought.

All this honey was used by him to make a lucky pudding, but alas, after making so much, he couldn't make another pudding with a permanent lucky effect.

Naoki wasn't discouraged, though, because it didn't matter to him whether it was permanent or not.

Others in the ranch can eat a pudding at any time if they want to be lucky, and as long as they keep eating, the effect they bring is rounded up forever.

"I don't know where Baby Bear and Dream are now."

Suppressing the worry in his heart, Naoki began to prepare lunch for them.

Today's lunch was the same as usual, with cutlets and sandwiches, plus a cucumber and a glass of tree juice and moo milk of your choice.

While eating, Naoki looked at the fast dragon, and remembered that he hadn't asked about the progress of his move practice for a long time, so he asked casually:

"Have you mastered the electric attribute move Thunder I told you before?"

Speaking of moves, the dragon instantly became excited.

"Whew!" It nodded its head.

Not only that, but the combination of praying for rain + storm + thunder that Naoki told it last time, it was also able to successfully use it!

"Huh?" Seeing this scene, Naoki was a little surprised: "You are making progress quite fast!" ”

"Whew~"

So after eating, Kuailong dragged Naoki outside with his big paws and showed him the phased results he had achieved during this time.

Naoki stood under the eaves, so Loton and the Motorcycle Lizard stood beside him.

I saw the fast dragon flapping its wings and flying into the air.

It held its breath, and the originally clear sky was instantly enveloped in a thick and dense layer of dark clouds, and wisps of electrical attribute energy were surging in it.

It's starting to rain.

At first, it was still a light rain, but gradually, the rain became heavier and heavier, and it fell in a series of lines.

The fast dragon was bathed in the heavy rain, its body was drenched in rain, and there seemed to be flames dancing in its eyes.

In the next second, the fast dragon flapped its wings, and a storm condensed and formed, mixed with the falling heavy rain, forming a terrifying storm of scale.

Naoki looked at the rather spectacular scene.

If ordinary Pokémon face this trick without training in a special environment, I am afraid that they will immediately fall into a panicked situation.

At this time-

Just listen to the boom.

A huge lightning bolt that shimmered straight down from the thundercloud blasted a large crater out of the lawn below.

Hiss!

Naoki gasped.

What a terrible power!

If the Pokémon is hit by that move...... He simply couldn't imagine it.

At this moment, the storm stopped, and the dark clouds that hung above gradually dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky above.

"Bang Bang!"

Naoki immediately applauded and praised, "It's amazing! ”

"Whew......"

Hearing this, the fast dragon landed beside Naoki with some embarrassment and touched his head with his big paws.

Where, it's still far from it!

Kuailong's mind couldn't help but think of the mysterious Pokémon that he saw above the eye of the typhoon that day, covered in pitch black like a swimming dragon.

Looking at the fast dragon in front of him, who had already undergone transformation, Naoki couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

God Speed, Dragon Tail, Thunderbolt Fist, Storm, High Speed Movement, Dragon Dance, Pray for Rain, 100,000 Volts, Thunder.

Before you know it, the dragon has learned so many moves.

Naoki felt as if he had nothing left to teach him.

Thinking of this, Naoki asked, "You've learned so many moves, do you have any plans for the future?" ”

As soon as Kuailong heard this, he immediately panicked.

Because listening to Naoki's meaning is like saying that I don't have anything to teach you, and you can already become a teacher!

Is this driving it away?

Kuailong didn't want to leave, and immediately frowned aggrievedly: "Wow......"

Although there is a language barrier between humans and Pokémon, looking at the expression of the fast dragon, Naoki magically understood its meaning at this moment.

He suddenly cried and laughed: "I didn't mean to drive you away, I just wanted to ask you what you plan to do next, I mean I will soon have nothing to teach you, and when the time comes, will you leave the ranch and return to Kuailong Island?" ”

Naoki hadn't forgotten that Kuailong had followed him in the first place because he wanted to learn the moves.

Hearing this, Kuailong fell into deep thought.

In the beginning, it did follow Naoki because it wanted to learn the moves.

But then......

Naoki gave him a fruit platter and helped him learn speed.

Naoki asked Soleton to teach it to use the dragon's tail.

Naoki accompanied it in the heavy rain to the sky to practice thunder and lightning boxing and pray for rain, and he also fell ill for it.

Worried about Naoki, he learned to move at high speed on the way to deliver milk.

At this moment, the fast dragon is not just by Naoki's side because he wants to become stronger.

- It likes this human and wants to be with him all the time.
