Hearing the voice, Naoki quickly turned back.

Immediately after, I saw a Pokémon that looked a little like a fox at the entrance of that narrow hole.

It has a pale blue fur on its body, and it looks like a double-braided winter hat on its head, and blue fur on its forehead that extends like a braid to the front.

It has four legs, and the fur on its feet is dark blue, making it look like it is wearing a pair of blue boots.

Is that...... Ice Eevee!

It appeared there at some point, perhaps following him and the old Leton.

Ah Meng really didn't lie to him!

There really is an Ice Eevee perched under the hands of Frost Smear!

Naoki's eyes lit up suddenly.

Then it's time to think about how to subdue this Ice Eevee.

Thinking of this, Naoki looked up at the Ice Eevee.

It looked vigilant, and there was a hint of anger in its eyes.

It seems that for this Ice Eevee, he and Guleton are intruders on the territory.

Bing Yibu leaned over slightly, put on an offensive stance, and said a warning voice from his mouth: "Bu Tea! ”

Naoki: "......"

He was about to say that it was a misunderstanding, but before he could react, Bing Yibu suddenly raised his head vigilantly and looked up.

Naoki also looked back, and saw a snow fairy in a small ice cave on the rock wall behind him.

The snow fairy girl looked at the scene below with a calm face.

Its gaze was fixed on Ice Eevee and the human who had suddenly appeared, and finally settled on the stone that emitted a white chill on the island in the lake.

In the next second, the Snow Demon Maiden moved, and a blue light appeared in its eyes.

Immediately afterward, Naoki saw a blue glow appear on the stones beside him.

"Boo!"

Seeing this scene, Ice Eevee ran over at a fast speed.

Pieces of ice and gravel instantly coalesced from its side, and galloped towards the Snow Demon Maiden.

The ice gravel successfully hit, and although it had little effect, it interrupted the Snow Witch's movements in time.

Ice Eevee jumped from the outside to the island in the lake, stepped on the stone with all four feet, and swore his sovereignty to the Snow Demon Maiden without showing weakness.

"Boo!"

This is its treasure, and it will never allow anyone to covet it!

Seeing this scene, Naoki instantly understood.

The Snow Demon Maiden is competing with this Ice Eevee for this stone containing ice attribute energy!

So, is it a giant Ice Stone, or an Ice Stone?

Either way, it contains ice-type energy, and this naturally occurring stone has a great attraction for ice-type Pokémon.

Hit by the ice gravel, the Snow Demon Maiden's gaze was still as calm as water.

At first glance, it looks like a gentle and tender woman in a kimono.

But its actions have nothing to do with gentleness.

The Snow Demon Maiden looked coldly at the scene below, and with a light raise of her right hand, a pitch-black shadow ball was condensed on her body, and it was thrown towards Ice Eevee.

The power of the shadow ball did not seem to be weak, and in order to prevent Naoki from being affected, Lerton did not hesitate to use his arm to pick Naoki up and jump away from the island in the lake.

If they dodged in time, Ice Eevee would not be so lucky.

In order to protect its secret treasure, it couldn't dodge, and was directly hit by the shadow ball, and its small body was knocked to the ground.

A cry of pain came out of Bing Yibu's mouth: "Bu Te ......"

After sending Naoki to the place, Leighton looked back at the island in the lake.

And the Snow Maiden didn't seem to be planning to stop.

It was as if substantial telekinesis surged out of it, turning into a powerful shockwave that swept towards the Ice Eevee.

Looking at this scene, Naoki shouted, "So Leton! ”

So Leton's body moved at the same time.

It leaped forward, and its tall body fell in front of Ice Ebu, its arms in front of it, blocking the attack for Ice Eevee, and yelling at the top: "Ahh

A powerful coercion instantly overwhelmed the Snow Demon Maiden.

There was a hint of fear in its eyes.

It didn't want to provoke the human and the Pokémon, so the only target it had just attacked was the Ice Eevee.

Now it seems that the human has decided to get involved in this matter, and has chosen to help the Ice Eevee.

But...... The Snow Fairy looked at the stone that attracted it with some unwillingness.

After much deliberation, it finally turned and walked away.

Seeing the Snow Demon Girl leaving, Lerton turned his head to look at Ice Eevee.

A silly smile appeared on its face, and it asked, "Ahh ”

Bing Yibu looked at the big guy who had protected himself in a daze: "Bu Te ......? ”

Naoki looked at Gu Leton and Ice Eevee over there with some pleasure.

The speed of Le Ton was so fast that it gave him the illusion that it would go over to protect Ice Eevee even without his command.

Still, as long as Ice Eevee is okay.

Naoki stood on the shore and shouted at the island in the lake, "Hey! ”

Hearing his voice, Loton came and took him to the island in the lake.

Naoki looked at Ice Eevee, took out a bottle of juice milk from his backpack to restore his strength, and handed it to Ice Eevee.

"Drink it, drink it, and the injuries on its body will be healed!"

"Bou-ta-......" Bing Yibu was stunned, and then turned his head away, and actually rejected the bottle of juice milk: "Bou-te." ”

It deftly turned and ran away, then took out a small stone with snowflake patterns from the corner and threw it in front of Naoki.

After doing this, Ice Eevee jumped on the white cold stone of the island in the lake, and lay down on it, his eyes closed as if to rest.

"Sure enough, it's as cold as Ah Meng said......"

Naoki looked down at the Ice Stone, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Although his attitude towards him is cold, he is an ice Eevee who knows how to express gratitude.

Naoki liked this Ice Eevee even more.

What's more, the original purpose of his coming here was for this Ice Eevee.

But at present, if you want to subdue this Ice Eevee, it is obvious that you can't use ordinary methods.

Food doesn't work for it, and it doesn't seem to like it's very fond of fighting.

After a little thought, Naoki planned to find out about Bing Yibu's situation first.

He looked at the ice stone beneath Ice Eevee and asked, "Is this stone your treasure?" ”

Hearing this, Bing Yibu, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, immediately opened his eyes and showed vigilance.

Seeing that it seemed to have misunderstood, Naoki hurriedly said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to grab stones with you, I just came here by accident." ”

So Lerton also nodded his head on the side: "Ahh ”

Ice Eevee relaxed a little.

It looked down at the snow stone beneath it, and the old thing came to mind.

At that time, it was still an Ievee.

In an accident, it got lost in the snowy mountains and stumbled into this place by mistake.

It found the stone here, and under the influence of the stone, it evolved into the Ice Eevee, and has lived here ever since.

Treasure......

This stone is indeed its treasure.

Thinking of this, Bing Yibu nodded lightly: "Bu Tou." ”

"Did the snow demon girl just come to fight you for this stone?" Naoki asked again.

Speaking of the Snow Demon Maiden, Ice Eevee looked a little angry.

In the beginning, the Pokémon that live in this neighborhood are all good, and they will not be attracted to this ice stone.

But suddenly one day, the snow demon girl came.

It wanted to take the ice stone and take it for itself.

They have played each other many times before, and there has never been a winner.

Ice Eevee was a little tired of this, and he hated the snow fairy girl very much.

Naoki observed the expression of this Ice Eevee, and saw that it seemed to attach great importance to this ice and snow stone, and suddenly thought of a good idea in his heart!

"If this stone is so important, the snow demon girl will definitely not give up, and it will come here again to snatch the stone." Naoki Road.

"Bu Te ......" Bing Yibu's face was solemn.

Seeing this scene, Naoki first pretended to think, and then asked, "Didn't you think about carrying this stone to a safe place?" Move to a place where the Snow Fairy Maiden can't find it either, so it won't come to bother you. ”

Bing Yibu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Truly! Just move the stone away so that the snow fairy girl can never be found again!

Soon, however, it began to ponder again.

Where is it safe?

The snow-capped mountain is so big, and all the people living here are ice-type Pokémon, and if you move this stone outside, it is likely to attract other ice-type Pokémon to grab its stone.

Seeing that Bing Yibu was covered, Naoki spoke out at the right time: "Ahem, that ......"

Bing Yibu looked up.

Naoki: "I have a good place to hide this stone for you, it's safe there, and there are no other ice-type Pokémon. ”

Ice Eevee looked at him with those dark blue eyes.

Naoki's heart was pounding, thinking to himself that he must have been discovered by this Ice Eevee, right?

And at this moment, Gu Leton on the side nodded in agreement with Naoki's words: "Ahh ”

Ice Eevee looked at Guleton again, at the Pokémon who had just protected it from the Snow Maiden's attack.

Ice Eevee is smart, and it can feel that this Pokémon seems to know it.

What a strange feeling, is it because where have they seen it before?

Ice Eevee began to reminisce carefully.

But after recalling for a long time, I couldn't find the answer.

It couldn't help but ask, "Bouta?" ”

"Ahh So Lerton nodded happily.

Naoki watched this scene with great interest.

Looking at Bing Yibu's appearance, it seems that he is checking with Gu Letun whether there really is such a safe place.

Receiving the answer, Bing Yibu was slightly stunned, and then looked down at the stone below him.

It chooses to believe in this human and Pokémon who help it.

"Bu T.

Naoki was overjoyed: "Made a decision?" ”

Bing Yibu nodded.

Seeing this, Naoki put this ice and snow stone, which was about the size of Ice Eevee, into his spatial backpack in front of it.

It just so happened that the Ice Stone and Ice Eevee were brought back and put into the cave.

The Ice Stone, like the Ice Stone, is a prop that can help Eevee evolve into Ice Eevee.

The only difference is that the Ice Stone will disappear after use, while the Ice Stone will not, and this kind of stone that melts into nature contains a large amount of ice attribute energy.

Although Ice Eevee has completed its evolution, it tends to be the nature of Pokémon, and they all like places with a lot of energy.

Because of this, Ice Eevee will treat this ice stone as a treasure.

Thinking of this, Naoki smacked his tongue slightly, he looked at the ice stone in his hand, and thought to himself that this trip could be regarded as killing three birds with one stone.

Ice Eevee, Ice Stone, Ice Stone, he wants them all!

Naoki took out an empty red and white ball from his pocket and said to Ice Eevee:

"It's a long way back, let's get here first!"

Ice Eevee looked at the red and white orb, then stretched out his front paws and easily touched the button on it.

In the next second, its body turned into a red light and was collected into the Poké Ball.

When the Poké Ball stopped moving, Naoki couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Conquer Ice Eevee!

It seems like...... It's not a formal acceptance.

After all, Ice Eevee only came with him now because he was able to help him bring the Ice Stone to a safe place.

However, Naoki is not worried, after all, the future is long!

When he returned to the ranch, he had plenty of time to spend with Ice Eevee until it recognized itself.

Putting on his space backpack and putting away his belongings, Naoki looked around and made sure that nothing was missing, and then left the cave with Soleton.

As Gu Leton slowly rose into the air, the entire Frost Mountain gradually became smaller until it was completely left behind.

Naoki looked back at the tall and majestic mountain range, thinking back to what had happened today.

Once again, he felt the sense of security that came with the old Lotton.

Not only can it fly, run and swim, but it is also very strong, and its temperament is also very docile, which is completely different from the Wing King in the description, except for the occasional silly, there are almost no shortcomings.

He was so lucky to be able to meet such a Pokémon, Naoki thought.

Thanks to Guletun, his ranch has been able to grow to its current level in just a few months.

If it weren't for Gu Leton, he would probably still be working hard to make money by fishing.

Not to mention the big milk pot and the salt stone treasure, I'm afraid that even the place where they live has not been built.

At this time, Lerton seemed to notice that Naoki on his body was in a daze.

It turned its head sideways and said, "Ahhhh ”

Naoki came back to his senses, and he said to it happily, "So Leton, I really love you to death!" ”

"Ahh

So Lerton's eyes widened, as if he was shocked by the words.

It only knows that Naoki likes everyone who lives on the ranch and takes care of many Pokémon lives every day.

But it's the first time I've seen Naoki express his love for them so bluntly as he does now.

I haven't received it in the past, Kuailong hasn't received it, Frost Milk Fairy hasn't received it, and I haven't received it.

Does this mean that it is the first Pokémon to receive such an honor?

So Loton was so happy that he couldn't help but speed up his flight.

Therefore, Leton's sturdy figure turned into a red light, like a red meteor streaked across the sky.

Naoki was scared half to death, and hurriedly hugged Gu Letun and shouted, "Slow down! I'm going to fall! ”
