Union calendar year 198, end of December.

The Padia region received a snowfall that lasted for almost half a month.

The snow on the road fell in a thick layer, and the road to the ranch was blocked, and even Zack's big truck could not drive in.

In desperation, Zach could only give himself a few days of annual leave, ready to wait for the snow to decrease before continuing to receive the goods.

Early in the morning, Naoki brought his tools and took Soleton and the motorcycle lizard out to shovel snow.

He stood in the snow, looked in the direction of Zhenqin Town, and said in his heart.

As he expected, the road was covered with snow and impassable for trucks.

"Fortunately, I have prepared the winter goods in advance, so there is no need to brave the heavy snow to go to the town at this time." Naoki thought to himself.

In these weathers, people stay at home, rarely go out, and even the trainers and travelers who usually run around the world are gone.

The road to the town is blocked by snow and no one arrives, making the ranch feel like a paradise.

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast white world.

Being in the middle of it makes you feel like your soul has been purified.

Naoki was happy to be idle, standing in the snow and closing his eyes, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of this seclusion.

However, in the next second, a sound of horses' hooves clattered past him.

When Naoki opened his eyes, he saw the snowstorm horses running wild in the snow.

Naoki: "......"

The atmosphere of tranquility was shattered in an instant, and Naoki was forced to withdraw from the mood of enjoying the tranquility.

Not only the snowstorm horses running around the pasture, but also the whole ranch came alive when the snow stopped.

Smoke rose from the snow-covered roof, and it was my sister's housekeeper preparing breakfast for everyone.

Babu Tu flew out of the living room and into the chicken hutch to take care of the hens.

Ice Eevee takes Olynius and Frost Fairy and plays a little game of drawing with footprints on the snow.

Kuailong and Haklong, who are working part-timers, also came to the ranch, and under the leadership of Kuailong, they carried their satchels and fresh goat's milk and milk, and set off to the town of Yanqin to deliver goods to those guests.

Naoki couldn't help but sigh, although the ranch was cut off from the outside world, it was not lonely here at all!

So Loton and the motorcycle lizard stood beside Naoki on the left and right, looking at the lively scene, and let out a cheerful cry from their mouths.

"Ah~Quack~"

"Quack~"

Naoki noticed that the moto lizard's scarf was about to fall apart, so he stepped forward to help it re-tie it.

Seeing this scene, Gu Leton, who was on the side, also stepped forward and held his head high.

"Okay, okay, I'll tie it back for you." Naoki sighed helplessly: "Really, like a child." ”

"Ahh

That look is like a big enthusiastic golden retriever.

Naoki pushed his head aside and continued his snow shoveling work for the day, checking on the other facilities in the ranch by the way.

Back last month, when the temperature dropped, he turned on the air conditioning for the chicken hut and the Pokémon hut.

During this time, both the hen and the big milk tank stayed in the air-conditioned room all day and all night.

Coming to the Pokémon hut, Naoki saw the big inside and smiled at them, "Good morning, everyone! A new day is about to begin! ”

"Moo~"

The big were lying on the soft hay beds, happily responding.

"Good."

Naoki picked up a comb and combed their fur, and filled the troughs and troughs with fruit and grass before saying goodbye to the big and turning away.

Then they came to the chicken hut.

Here Babu Tupat was talking to the hens.

I saw it standing in front of a group of hens with its waist crossed, smiling, and constantly calling in its mouth: "Ba Mo, Ba Mo Ba Mo!" ”

Seeing Naoki coming, Babu Tu turned his head and flew to his side: "Ba Mo~"

Naoki asked curiously, "Can they understand what you're saying?" ”

Babu Tu nodded again and again: "Ba Mo! ”

These chicks are his best friends!

Hey? Can Pokémon and normal animals still communicate? Naoki looked surprised.

After traveling to this world for so long, Naoki gradually learned some information.

As far as he knows, there are many ordinary animals in this world.

It's just a little different from what he originally thought.

There are no large carnivores such as tigers, elephants, lions, and sharks, and there are only edible common animals such as chickens, ducks, geese, cows, pigs, fish, and shrimps.

As for how people in this world distinguish between ordinary animals and Pokémon, it is probably through whether ordinary animals can use moves?

Although some people will also use some Pokémon parts as food......

For example, the tail of the dumb beast will fall off regularly, the meat shed by the light cod, and the crab claws that the hairy cliff crab will shed.

However, Naoki has been here for so long, but he has never eaten any of these things.

It's not that it's not his Virgin, he just thinks that Pokémon's emotions and IQ are not much different from humans, and there are still some people who treat them as companions and family members on weekdays.

Under this premise, if you eat them again, you will feel like you can't put it into words.

After a moment of contemplation, Naoki said goodbye to Babu Tupa and turned to leave the chicken hut.

My sister's housekeeper had already prepared breakfast.

Naoki took Oldton and the motorcycle lizard to wash their paws, and then had breakfast with everyone.

After breakfast, there was a light snow outside.

Naoki didn't have much to do, so he simply moved a rocking chair to the fireplace and sat there to warm up while reading a book.

The Pokémon didn't go out again, and they had nothing to do when they were idle, so they lay down in front of the fireplace with Naoki to roast the fire.

It was snowing outside the window, the fireplace was burning in the room, and even the air was warm.

Naoki turned his head to look at the group of Pokémon beside him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

This feeling...... It's amazing!

"It's going to be the New Year in a few days, whew, time flies so fast!" Naoki muttered inwardly.

Before you know it, this first year is going to pass.

The first New Year in the world of Pokémon means a lot to Naoki.

He thought hard about what he wanted to do for the Pokémon to remember for the future.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't have a clue.

I am afraid that all he can do is to personally prepare a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for the Pokémon around him.

"I happen to have a lot of ingredients at home, so let me cook all the dishes I've made in the past year!"

*

In the afternoon, the figure of the Lei Guanwang appeared in front of Naoki.

He said to Naoki with a little excitement, "My strength has been restored, and I can start cultivating it a second time!" ”

Hearing this, Naoki's eyes lit up, and he didn't care that it was still snowing outside, so he hurriedly came to the World Tree with the Lei Guanwang.

Seeing that they seemed to be about to do something to the World Tree, Dream and Baby Bear followed curiously.

So Lotton, the Motorcycle Lizard, the Babu Tupa, the Frost Milk Fairy, the Oriniu, the Ice Ebu, the Mount Goat, and the Caring Brother and Sister......

A group of Pokémon surrounds the World Tree.

Naoki and the Thundercrown King stepped forward, and the Thundercrown King looked around with a smile on his face, and then, a powerful momentum erupted from his body.

The vibrant energy swept away in all directions, turning into a hemispherical energy shield that enveloped the World Tree in it.

In the next second, all the snow on the ground melted, and small green grasses rose from the ground in this vibrant energy storm.

The World Tree is also changing.

Its trunk grew thicker and erect, and more green leaves grew on its otherwise bare branches.

Naoki's gaze was firmly fixed on the World Tree in front of him.

Under his gaze, the growth age of this World Tree began to change at a rate visible to the naked eye!

[World Tree Sapling: A seed sapling that has absorbed the power of a large amount of grass, because of the mount goat, it has undergone a mutation in the process of growth, and the majestic vitality is brewing in it, and finally breaking through the ground, and it will take 97,995 years before it grows.] ]

[97980.] ]

[Year 97500.] ]

[96980.] ]

……

[96001.] ]

[95995.] ]

Eventually, the number was fixed at 95,995.

And the World Tree in front of him has also grown into a tree about 1.8 meters tall, as tall as an adult!

The branches of the World Tree were covered with verdant and dense leaves, and wisps of green energy flowed slowly on it, and you could feel the extraordinary sound of this tree just by looking at it.

The Pokémon on the side also noticed this scene.

Dream and baby bear's eyes are incredibly wide-eyed.

"One!" (The leaves glow!) ）

“miu！” (Lei Guanwang is amazing!) ）

A smile appeared on Leiguan's face, and he looked up at the trees in front of him with satisfaction, and then exclaimed:

"It's incredible! In just over 4,000 years, this World Tree has grown into such a form, and it is really exciting to see what it will become after 100,000 years! ”

Naoki recalled the World Tree in the theatrical version, and used it as a reference, and replied, "It's probably hundreds of kilometers high, right?" ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, Naoki suddenly realized something.

If the World Tree in front of you can grow so tall, then I'm afraid that the ranch will be swallowed up by it at that time, right?

This is not good news.

Naoki couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Hundreds of meters and thousands of kilometers ......" The Lei Guanwang compared to the scene he saw when he used Future Prediction, and he was about to say something when he saw Naoki frowning and tangled.

"What are you bothered about?" Lei Guanwang asked puzzled.

Naoki glanced at Him and truthfully told the troubles in his heart:

"I was thinking that if this tree grows that big, the ranch will be finished."

This is his home, and he doesn't want this place to go away......

Hearing this, Lei Guanwang immediately thought of the future scene that he had seen through time.

"You need not worry." "I foresaw the future of this tree, and after a long time, it will leave the earth, fly to the sky, and finally levitate high in the sky. ”

"What?" Naoki didn't react a little.

World Tree ...... Flying?

"How?" He asked, surprised.

Lei Guanwang shook his head lightly: "I have no way of knowing, predicting the future can only allow me to see the ending, but not the process." ”

Just as He had seen the Infinite Tide descend upon the Galel region.

"Okay......" Naoki still didn't come back to his senses.

How did such a big tree fly into the sky?

That's unscientific, isn't it? Isn't it affected by gravity? Or did someone install an anti-gravity system on it?

Thinking about it, Naoki noticed the tiredness on the face of the Reicrown King.

"Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, since that is the future, we will definitely find a way later." Naoki said to King Leiguan: "Thank you for your hard work, go and rest!" I'm going to prepare grass dumplings and grass cakes for you! ”

The Thunder Crown King bowed slightly, and then his form disappeared from the spot, and he returned to the glass room.

Naoki also returned to the living room with a group of Pokémon, he let a few Pokémon play on their own, while he went to the kitchen to prepare restorative snacks and afternoon tea for the Thunder Crown.

On the way to the glass flower house, Naoki sees three mounted goats lying on the grass that was spawned by the Thunder Crown King around the World Tree, not knowing what they are chewing on in their mouths.

“…… What are you eating? Naoki couldn't help but ask.

"Baa~"

Hearing Naoki's question, one of the mounted goats opened its mouth, revealing a verdant leaf lying inside.

Naoki's eyes immediately widened.

It's too late! The mount goat has started to gnaw on the World Tree!

Just when he thought that the mounted goat was attracted by the World Tree and took the initiative to nibble on the leaves, three leaves suddenly fell from the green and lush trees.

The three leaves shimmered green, swirling and falling in front of the three mounted goats.

"Bah!"

The mount goats' eyes lit up, and they lowered their heads to eat the leaves in their mouths.

Naoki: "? ”

What's going on?

Naoki stared blankly at this scene.

Could it be that the World Tree has its own consciousness? Or is it the will of nature? Or is it the will of the world? Did it choose a mount goat?

Naoki fell into deep thought, and soon, he remembered the Tree of the Beginning of the World in the theatrical version.

It is equipped with a defense system inside, and if it senses an invasion from outsiders, it will have the Guardian Pillar of the Three Gods to intervene to stop the invaders.

"Won't it?"

Naoki walked forward in disbelief and walked in front of the World Tree.

At this moment, the World Tree seemed to feel something.

Immediately after, another leaf slowly fell from the tree.

Seeing this scene, an incredible idea immediately appeared in Naoki's mind.

He'd watered and fertilized the World Tree with the mount goat before! That's why the World Tree treats him as its own!

Thinking of this, Naoki subconsciously reached out and caught the leaf.

He looked down, and in the next second, the message of the leaf came to his mind.

[Immature Leaves of the World Tree: Mythical items, leaves containing the power of nature, are coveted treasures for grass-type Pokémon, and are extremely rare existences, the specific effect is unknown.] ]
