After calming down the Pokémon that came up, Naoki returned to the house with his bag and sat on the sofa with a long sigh of relief.

Seeing Naoki come back, the two brothers and sisters were also very happy.

The younger sister housekeeper brought a cup of tea to Naoki, and then turned around and took out two photos from the table.

Naoki raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the two small paw prints printed on the back of the photo, and he didn't have to think about it to know who sent it back.

He reached out to take the photo and casually asked, "When did you send it back?" ”

My sister loves to compare a three and a one: "Love." ”

Naoki understood, one was three days ago and the other was a day ago.

What kind of photos will it be this time?

Naoki flipped through the two photos with great interest.

In the first one, he saw the vast sea as far as the eye could see, with a clear blue sky and white clouds floating on it.

In the middle of the photo, there are the two depressed little faces of Dream Dream and Baby Bear, who seem to be worried about not being able to find a place to stay.

Seeing this scene, Naoki was very surprised.

He remembered that the last time the two Pokémon sent a letter back was on the Orange Islands.

They probably haven't left the confines of the Orange Islands these days.

Although Naoki had never been to the Orange Islands, he could still imagine the landscape and environment there.

Everywhere you look, there is a borderless sea, and small islands scattered across that sea area make up the Orange Islands.

Obviously, the baby bear and Dream are lost, and the expressions on their faces should be that they haven't found an island to settle on for a long time.

"Two poor little ones......"

Naoki was desperate to know what was going on, so he continued to check the second photo.

The background of the photo is still a vast sea.

It's just that the location of Dream and Baby Bear came from the air to the sea.

They were standing on the back of a dragon riding on its way across the sea.

And in front of the dragon, a lush island appeared.

Maybe it's finally finding a foothold, and both Dream and Baby Bear have excited smiles on their faces.

I don't know what they said to Chenglong, but Chenglong also turned his head and looked in the direction of the camera cordially and friendly.

Naoki's heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, happy that Yume and the baby bear had found the island.

Not to mention, they really feel adventurous and traveling.

Looking at the friendly Pokémon in the photo, Naoki muttered, "Ride the dragon...... This kind of Pokémon is rare! ”

Chenglong, also known as Laplace, has a gentle heart and loves to carry humans on the seas, and once almost led to extinction due to illegal human fishing.

That seems to have been a long time ago, though.

Now the major Pokémon alliances have listed Chenglong as a key protection object, especially in the Alola region.

I heard that the dragon over there is a bit of a flood because of the overprotection.

It is a pity that the drought dies by drought and the waterlogging dies by waterlogging.

This kind of Pokémon is rare to see in the Padia region.

After returning to the ranch, Naoki's life returned to the way it used to be.

Planting fields every day, basking in the sun, drinking tea, and petting Pokémon.

Rescued by him, the group of wild Pokémon raised on the side of the tree orchard gradually came out of the shadows and gradually adapted to the current life.

That morning, Naoki took them to the back mountain to see what had become of the place where they used to live.

As soon as they entered the back mountain, they saw a very unfamiliar scene.

After the fire, the mountains and forests were left in a mess, with scorched marks everywhere, thick ashes left on the ground, and the bare trees that had been burned showed their teeth and claws, like a terrifying black forest, lifeless.

The electric petrel, which had completely healed from the injury on its wings, flapped its wings and flew to a dead branch, looking down sadly at the scene below.

The full-bodied chinchilla with the fur on its tail also quickly climbed the tree, jumping back and forth on several large and stout trees, as if searching for something.

The lily dolls and a few mushrooms looked sad, and they remembered the old life, green grass and tall trees everywhere.

The rest of the Pokémon also looked gloomy and looked very sad.

Seeing this, Naoki sighed and said, "Do you know? These plant ashes contain a large number of nutrients and trace elements that plants need. ”

A group of Pokémon looked at it with a confused expression.

Naoki: "The ashes will make the soil more fertile, and all the flowers and trees will become nutrients for the earth, and they will rejoin the cycle of nature. ”

"By the next year, they'll grow back up, and when the time comes, they'll be even more luxuriant than they used to be."

Dead wood will eventually sprout, and this mountain forest is waiting to be reborn.

At this time, the speaker cricket standing in the middle of a group of Pokémon seemed to understand Naoki's meaning.

It waved its forearms, like an inspired performer, and its mouth emitted a melodious and strange melody.

The melody sounded mournful and low at first, but soon it became like a wave of rising and turning upwards.

Naoki was slightly stunned.

The other Pokémon seemed to be encouraged, their mood was no longer low, and their eyes became determined.

That's right! Together, they will work hard to rebuild their home!

The end of the song of the speaker cricket.

Not far away, there was a sudden burst of applause.

Naoki turned his head and saw a long-haired man with a guitar on his back and a trembling salamander walking from a distance.

He looked at the speaker cricket with appreciation, and then said to Naoki, "This speaker cricket of yours is very talented in playing!" ”

Naoki: "...... No, it's not my Pokémon, it's just temporarily living with me for the time being. ”

He told the man about the fire and the fact that he had taken in the wild Pokémon.

After listening, the man lamented and regretted: "The fire is merciless, that fire is really sad, hello, I'm bass, I'm a traveling musician, and I'm currently traveling around the world in pursuit of my musical dreams!" ”

Musician? It was the first time Naoki had seen such a person, he looked at the trembling salamander beside Bes, and nodded, "I'm Naoki, and I run a ranch around here, but then again, how did you end up here?" ”

Since that fire, the mountain forest has been reduced to a dead silence, not to mention tourists, not even trainers.

Hearing this, Beth explained, "I heard that there are people and Pokémon here who are suffering and sorrow, so I'm here!" To bring hope and joy to them with my music! ”

Naoki: "? ”

Perhaps the confusion on his face was too obvious, and Bess said wistfully:

"Music can express emotions and convey emotions to others, whether it is sadness, sadness, joy, happiness, excitement, this is what I have been pursuing all my life, using music to convey happiness and smiles to people!"

The speaker cricket looked at this scene with some emotion.

Naoki: "......" is a game of art.

Beth looked at the group of Pokémon in front of him again, and he suddenly had a whim, and asked, "I can play a concert for you, would you like to listen to it?" ”

The Pokémon looked confused.

Only the speaker cricket showed excitement and even anticipation.

Seeing this scene, Naoki thought for a while and said, "Okay, go to my ranch!" ”

"Then I'm sorry for you! Mr. Naoki! Hearing that someone was willing to listen to him play, bass was very excited.

The group returned to the ranch, and Bess was the first time to be in such a place, and he looked curiously east and west.

However, he quickly put away his curiosity and devoted himself to the next performance.

In the pasture, a group of interested Pokémon lined up from tall to low, lying on the soft grass.

Naoki and Soleton stood behind, looking at the scene curiously.

Seeing that the group of Pokémon were ready, Beth threw the Poké Ball in his hand into the air and shouted, "Everyone, come out!" ”

With flashes of white light, another trembling salamander and a roaring adamantine appeared beside Bes.

With a guitar in his arms and a passion in his eyes, the bass shouted "We're the Trembling Salamanders!" To bring hope and happiness to people and Pokémon! Everyone, ready, go! ”

As soon as the words fell, the Booming Vajra rang the wooden drum in front of him.

"Bang bang!"

In a dense and passionate drum beat, two vibrato-string salamanders let out a bass-like call, followed by the melodious guitar and passionate singing of the bass.

“Come on！”

Let's go on a trip! ”

“……”

"Break through the universe and change the world!"

Listening to this voice, Leton only felt his head grow for a while: "...... Ahh ”

Naoki: "......"

Forgive him, he, like Oldton, is a person without musical cells.

He turned his head to look around and saw that the other Pokémon were also in pain, except for the speaker cricket's shining eyes, waving his arms to the melody.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Bess and the Booming Kongo orangutan stopped.

Bess hung his head and said, "Sure enough, I still can't do it......"

The Booming Vajra and the Trembling Salamander also looked discouraged.

Naoki stepped forward and asked, "Are you alright?" ”

Bass looked at him and thanked him first, "Thank you so much for listening to us, Naoki." ”

"I don't think I can do it...... When I used to perform, I fainted from listening to music Pokémon, and I'm still a half-hung musician, no, not even a half-hanger. ”

Naoki didn't know what to say for a while, and he said against his will: "Actually, your performance just now was very good and very passionate. ”

Bess hurriedly asked, "Really?" ”

Naoki: "......"

Seeing the expression on his face, Bess said, "You're such a nice guy, Naoki. ”

"Alas, forget it, the dream that can be realized is not a dream!" Bass picked himself up again: "Even if no one likes it, we're going to keep going!" Because we are the only vibrato salamander band in the world! ”

"Bang bang bang!" The Boom Vajra approving the wooden drum in front of him.

"Hiss~!"

This is, there was a sudden melodious chirp from the side.

Naoki and Bess turned their heads to look and saw the speaker cricket looking over as if they were encouraged.

Bess looked into its eyes, stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What?" You said you enjoyed what we just played? ”

"Hiss~!"

The speaker cricket let out another melodious hum in agreement.

"Thank you, Speaker Cricket!" Bass laughed, "Actually, you're also a very talented musician!" If I could, I'd love to invite you to join my band. ”

"Hiss~!"

Seeing this scene, Naoki raised his eyebrows.

An idea popped into his mind.

"Speaker cricket, do you like to play music too?" Naoki asked.

The speaker cricket nodded happily.

"Do you want to join bass's band and travel with him?" Naoki asked again.

"Shhh The speaker cricket nodded happily.

Hearing this, Bess was slightly stunned, and then looked at Naoki in disbelief: "Mr. Naoki, you are ......"

Naoki nodded slightly: "The speaker cricket is only temporarily living in my ranch, I prefer it to do what I like than staying here, bass, are you willing to take care of the speaker cricket for me?" ”

"Yes!" Bess nodded repeatedly.

"So, pick up the Poké Ball and take it in!" Naoki Road.

He could tell that the Booming Vajra and the Trembling Salamander were well taken care of by Bass, and he loved the Pokémon that could play music.

And the speaker cricket seems to be infected by his heart that wants to convey emotions through music, and has taken a fancy to this human.

Therefore, Naoki is willing to respect the choice of speaker cricket.

Hearing this, Bess took out an empty Poké Ball and put the speaker cricket in, and the Poké Ball shook slightly twice before stopping shaking.

"Looks like it recognizes you." Naoki said.

Bess released the speaker cricket from the Poké Ball again, and greeted it seriously: "Speaker Cricket, please take care of it in the future!" ”

Speaker cricket: "Hiss~woo!" ”

At noon, Naoki invited the other party to lunch at the ranch.

After lunch, Bess was about to leave.

He stood in front of the ranch with a few Pokémon and said goodbye to Naoki: "Thank you very much for your hospitality, Mr. Naoki, please rest assured, I will definitely take care of this speaker cricket!" ”

Naoki asked, "By the way, where do you want to go next?" ”

Beth thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to go to the town of Zhaiqin to have a look, and then set off for the cauldron lake in the north." ”

Naoki nodded silently, he thought about the major cities in the game, and then gave a suggestion:

"I've heard that this kind of heavy metal rock music seems to be popular in Nail Town in the Garrer region, and maybe you'll find your own fans there."

"Spike Town......" Beth's eyes lit up, and then nodded: "I'll go over there and have a look when I get back!" ”

Naoki: "Come on! Hopefully, by the next time we meet, you'll already be a well-known band. ”

Bess nodded heavily: "Well, we'll try!" ”

"Hiss~woo!"

The speaker cricket on the side also said goodbye to Naoki and was grateful for his care during this time.

Naoki smiled at it, "Let's go with confidence!" ”

Maybe his small move will change the fate of this speaker cricket from now on.

For him, why not?
