On March 8, 199 of the Alliance calendar, Naoki successfully arrived in the Padia region.

Not long after arriving home, Mayor Thomas came to visit the ranch.

Before Naoki could greet a group of Pokémon, he hurriedly stepped forward to welcome Mayor Thomas into the living room.

The old man, armed with a cane, sat down on the sofa and asked with a kind face:

"Did the exchange go well? I heard that the tourism industry in Kitakamigo is very developed, and it attracts many tourists every year! ”

Hearing this, Naoki was powerless to complain.

He shook his head and couldn't help but sigh: "It's better to be in Zhenqin Town!" ”

"Huh?" Mayor Thomas was surprised: "Did you encounter something there?" ”

Naoki snorted, and then briefly told Mayor Thomas what he had encountered in Kitakami Township.

Including the story of the Misfortune and the Three Treasures, including the head of Beishang Township who wants to use the legend of the Three Treasures to develop tourism.

When they had heard it all, Mayor Thomas looked stunned and muttered:

"How can this be ......"

"But it's okay, I brought the doom back, and I won't have to suffer those things again." As he spoke, Naoki took out the Poké Ball.

With a flash of white light, the figure of Doom appeared in the living room.

Seeing the unfamiliar environment around him and the humans he didn't know, Doom looked a little flustered, and hurriedly covered his face with his little hands.

"Don't be afraid, this is Mayor Thomas, he won't hate you." Naoki Road.

"Poni...?" Only then did he cautiously raise his head and look at the kind old man in front of him.

Mayor Thomas smiled and nodded at it, comforting:

"Relax, kid, no one here will hurt you, you can always go to the town to play, I'm sure everyone will like you very much."

"Poni?" Oxidation had never encountered such a thing, nor had she ever been welcomed.

So its first reaction when it heard this was disbelief, really?

Naoki nodded on the side: "Of course it's true, just like the Beishang Township, there will be a lively celebration here in Yanqin Town, and we'll go play together when the time comes!" ”

"Poni!" Doom and Fortune showed longing.

Seeing the appearance of this Pokémon, Mayor Thomas couldn't help but let out a sigh: "Poor boy. ”

Naoki took the four masks from Doom, and then asked, "Doom, do you want to continue wearing these masks?" ”

He knew that the reason why Doom wore a mask was because he wanted to hide his true face and blend in with the villagers of Beishang Township.

But everyone here in Zoqin Town likes Pokémon very much, and the Doom is also very cute, so no one should hate it.

In this case, it doesn't need to wear a mask to cover its face at all.

Thinking of this, Naoki told Doom what he was thinking.

After listening, Doom looked down at the masks, then at Mayor Thomas in front of him, and then jumped happily twice: "Boni! ”

Naoki understood: "Then I'll help you put away these four masks." ”

"Poni~"

There are still some business in the town waiting for Mayor Thomas to take care of it.

So, after visiting Naoki, Mayor Thomas left the ranch.

Naoki had a chance to release all of the Pokémon.

Then he called the Frost Milk Fairy and Ice Eevee, and introduced them to the Doom.

In fact, there is no need for Naoki to introduce it, and Frost Milk Fairy and Ice Ebu also know it.

Because just now they were all hiding behind the couch and eavesdropping.

For this poor Pokémon, the Frost Milk Fairy couldn't help but empathize with it, and was so sad that she was about to cry.

Bing Yibu on the side was also angry for Doom.

Doom looked at the few Pokémon in front of him blankly, and then said softly: "Boni~"

Naoki smiled and reached out to touch the heads of Ice Eevee and Frost Milk Fairy:

"Then, I'll leave it to you to take care of! I still have a little more to attend to, a trip to town. ”

The Frost Milk Fairy immediately nodded in agreement, and then took Doom to visit the ranch.

A few Pokémon left.

The Thunder Crown King also returned the ghost horse to the stable, and then teleported to the living room, sitting gracefully on the sofa and continuing to watch TV.

The fast dragon ran out to water the farmland, and these days when it was away, those working fast dragons must not know how to help with watering.

As soon as he thought of this, the fast dragon was very proud, it was the most reliable and capable fast dragon, and it was also Naoki's favorite fast dragon!

Zhenyi's hair also floated out, and I didn't know what to do.

Only Lerton and Babu Tu remained in the living room, looking down at the lava worms crawling slowly on the floor.

"Come here first, Lava Worm!" Naoki came to the fireplace and beckoned to the lava worm, holding a tree fruit in his hand to attract it.

The lava worm's eyes were fixed on the tree fruit, and then it crawled slowly and into the fireplace.

Naoki fed the tree fruit to it, and when he saw the lava worm's stunned appearance, his face couldn't help but smile.

"You're going to live here first! I'll go to town and find someone to come and make a nest for you. ”

"Ba Mo Ba Mo!"

Babu Tu squatted in front of the fireplace, happily looking at the lava worms inside.

That way, they also have a warm lava worm home!

"Play with the lava worm for a while, I'll go out." Naoki said to Babu Tupa.

"Ba Mo!" Babu Tu answered, looking at the lava worm without looking back, Ba Mo and Mo chatted with it, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Naoki didn't pay much attention, and after telling his sister to take care of it, he turned around and went out the door, riding to Kerry's forest hut on his way.

Kerry was sawing wood at the door, and when she saw Naoki coming, she looked very surprised: "Rare guest! ”

Naoki: "......"

"What are you going to buy today?" Kerry stopped what she was doing.

Naoki asked straight to the point, "Is there that kind of pipe for lava worms here?" ”

"Heating pipes?" Kerry understood what he meant as soon as she heard it.

Naoki nodded again and again: "That's right, that's it!" ”

"Looks like you've taken in the Pokémon like the Lava Bug."

Kerry put the axe down and took off her gloves as she walked into the room:

"Yes, I still have the blueprints from when I built your house before, huh...... Are you going to build a whole Lava Bug heating system in your living room only, or are you going to cover the entire house? ”

"The whole house!" Naoki said without thinking.

As a result, the lava bugs are also more active.

Hearing this, Kerry looked at the drawings of the house and said, "In this case, some places will have to be rebuilt, and the price will be more expensive, oh yes, I remember that you only have a fireplace in the living room, right?" ”

"Yes." Naoki Xin said that there is no problem with the price, because the current income of the ranch is very stable, and it can be sold at a good price from life goat milk to eggs.

"That'll do." Kerry took out a pen and revised the drawings, and finally confirmed: "The price depends on the specific materials used and the construction process, today I am helping Eriff Cherry Orchard dig a new wine cellar, and it may not be until tomorrow." ”

Naoki: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. ”

Kerry smiled slightly: "Then let's say so first, and I'll go to your side when I'm done." ”

"Okay."

After saying goodbye to Kerry, Naoki made another trip to the Rinqin Market, where he bought a batch of fresh ingredients before heading to the ranch.

But when he returned to the ranch, he found a group of Pokémon surrounding a strange Pokémon the size of a thief and as tall as a tree.

Seeing this scene, Naoki was slightly stunned.

And the group of Pokémon heard the movement behind them and turned their heads one after another.

Immediately after, the Pokémon, which looked like a tree, also raised its head and looked this way.

It was a tall Pokémon wearing a tunic made of green leaves and a long brown dress on the lower half of its body.

The green coat had a high collar that covered its neck, but from its familiar eyes, Naoki immediately recognized the identity of the Pokémon.

That's Oriniu!

No, it's not! It's time to call it Oliva!

Naoki put down his things in surprise and stepped forward, looking up at the tall Oliva.

Oliva met him with a gentle gaze.

After the evolution, Oliva seems to be more mature, and the immaturity and innocence of the Oliniu period have completely faded, and at this time, it seems to be a reliable Pokémon.

"Evolved?" Naoki asked.

Oliva bowed slightly.

Naoki took a deep breath and nodded happily, "That's good, congratulations, Oliva." ”

One person and one Pokémon looked at each other, and they had lived together for so long, and there was no need to say much about the tacit understanding between them.

At this moment, the Frost Milk Fairy looked up at Oliva, who had become so tall and so big.

As a good companion who came to the ranch together, Oliva has now become this powerful at first sight, and the frost milk fairy can't help but be a little envious while sincerely happy for it.

"Mama...... "If only it could evolve......

As if sensing Frost Fairy's mood, Oliva stretched out his arm, picked up Frost Fairy, and placed it on his body.

"Mama!"

The Frost Milk Fairy suddenly let out an exclamation.

Seeing this scene, Naoki couldn't help but feel very emotional.

He still remembers what Oliva was like when he first came to the ranch.

At that time, Oliva was still a small miniature fu.

It is so shy and shy, and likes to snuggle quietly in the flower pot on the windowsill and bask in the sun.

After evolving into Orinew, its temperament has not changed much, and it is still so shy and shy, but compared to the mini-Fu period, Oliniu will occasionally participate in the games of the Frost Fairy.

Most of the time, however, it will still stay near the grass field where the goat is mounted, as well as near the World Tree.

It's just that...... What Naoki doesn't understand is why Oliva has become so big after evolution?

It's almost four meters in size, almost like a big tree!

The normal size of Oliva seems to be around 1.5 meters, right?

Naoki thoughtfully set his gaze on the mount goat and the World Tree, and guessed in his heart:

"Could it be that it's because it's absorbed a lot of natural energy?"

It's no secret that the natural energy in the vicinity of the World Tree is much more intense than anywhere else.

Because of this, the mount goats and Olyneux would lie there all day.

You know, natural energy is a good thing!

If they are large enough, they can even cause a battle between the legendary god of the earth, Grunador, and Gaioca, the god of the sea.

"So, it must have been the natural energies that caused Oliva to change in size." Naoki came to a conclusion in his heart.

If you put it in the game "Arceus", the current Oliva seems to have turned into a big "boss Pokémon".

Either way, it's a good thing.

Looking at Oliva, who was coaxing the frost milk fairy there, and looking at everyone's misfortune with a happy face, Naoki had a smile on his face.

"It seems that Doom and everyone in the ranch get along very well." Naoki heart road.

The only pity is that, apart from grass-type Pokémon, the other Pokémon in the ranch don't seem to be attracted to natural energy.

Bupo evolved into Babu Tupa, Mini Fu evolved into Oliva, Green Caterpillar evolved into Bada Butterfly, and Gopher evolved into Three Gophers......

The Pokémon that first came to the ranch seem to be the only ones left that have not yet evolved.

Thinking of this, Naoki turned his head to look at the five salt stone barriers surrounding the giant Oliva, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

It stands to reason that he has been seriously cultivating the salt stone barriers, and he has not stopped eating nutritious meals and exercising every day, they should have evolved a long time ago!

But why?

Naoki said goodbye to a few Pokémon, turned around and went back to the living room, and prepared lunch with his sister Butler.

As he worked on the ingredients, he began to think.

As we all know, there are three reasons why Pokémon don't evolve.

First, the body has not yet met the conditions for evolution.

Second, Pokémon has always maintained its current state, so it resists evolution and uses patience to hold back the feeling of evolution.

Third, the Pokémon wears the Immutable Stone.

So, what kind of situation will be the salt stone barriers?

Naoki didn't know, and he decided to wait until after lunch to investigate.

In order to welcome the arrival of the Doom and the Lava Worm, the Naoki family prepared a sumptuous lunch today.

A variety of meat dishes that Pokémon like to eat, vegetable dishes that grass-type Pokémon like to eat, and a variety of sandwiches and desserts.

When everything was ready, Naoki went out to call the group of Pokémon back for dinner.

But as soon as he reached the door, he saw a lightning bird with a satchel around his neck descending from the sky.

Naoki: "......"

Sure enough, as he expected, the lightning bird really became the transport team of the heroic expedition.

Baby Bear and Dream They're back with a postcard.

Naoki hurriedly stepped forward and reached into his satchel at the signal of the lightning bird.

Soon, Naoki pulled out a picture and a Poké Ball from inside.

Seeing these two things, Naoki knew it in his heart.

Oh, Baby Bear and Dream have made new good friends out there!

"I don't know which Pokémon it will be this time."

With curiosity, just as Naoki was about to take a closer look at the photos and Poké Balls, a slightly excited exclamation suddenly came from behind him.

"That Pokémon...... Could it be the legendary lightning bird? Wow! This is like the king of the hemp eel jumping over the dragon gate, it is too shocking! He is a trainer who is recognized even by the chief! ”

Naoki turned around and saw a girl wearing a small magnetic monster hair accessory with long blue and pink hair standing in the distance, looking at the lightning bird wearing a red satchel with burning eyes.

Naoki was slightly stunned.

Is that a strange tree?
