Adek looked at the young man opposite, suppressed the hope and excitement in his heart, and asked politely:

"Excuse me, is this Naoki Ranch?"

Naoki came back to his senses, thinking that Dandi's speed was quite fast, and he nodded, "Hello, Mr. Adek." ”

"You know me?" Adek was slightly stunned.

Naoki didn't say that he didn't know him, "The champion of the United Region is very famous even in other places. ”

Adek's face flushed, he had a deep sense of self...... Although he was a champion, his fame was limited to the United Territories, how could it have spread so far as Pardea?

What's more, during that time, he left the Pokémon Alliance and didn't ask about the world......

Could it be that the trainer named Naoki in Dandi's mouth is his fan?

Otherwise, how could he be so clear about his situation, and still try to contact him through Emperor Dan and want to help.

Adyk couldn't think of anything other than that.

Naoki didn't know what Adek was thinking, he thought about the wounded Vulcan Moth, and then said to Adek:

"Let's talk about it first!"

"Good!"

Adek nodded, his grip on the strap of his backpack a little nervously, both expectant and scared of what was to come.

He hoped that the rancher could really heal the Vulcan Moth's dark wounds, but he was afraid that his hopes would be disappointed and the Vulcan Moth would continue to lose its life.

Following behind the other party, Adek remembered not long ago.

At that time, he was wandering around the United States when he suddenly received a call from the United Alliance.

The staff of the United Coalition told him on the phone that Mr. Dandy, the champion of the Galel region, had something to look for him.

At that time, Adek was very confused, he and the Dandi had never known each other, but had only heard each other's names, what was the matter with the other party looking for him?

In confusion, Adek dialed the number left by Dandy.

During that phone call, Dandi told him a way to save the Fire God Moth, and told him to go to a place called Naoki Ranch in the Padia region.

Adek's face was full of astonishment, he had many questions in his mind, but in order to save his partner, he didn't ask too much, and immediately set off for the Pardian region after hanging up the phone.

The two entered the living room, and Adek glanced at the Thunder Crown, then looked away from him, then took off his backpack, took out the Vulcan Moth's test report from it, and handed it over.

"These are the medical reports made by the Pokémon Center for the physical condition of the Vulcan Moth, which says that the Vulcan Moth's injuries are very serious, and there is no way to cure them with current medical technology."

Naoki reached out and took a look, but he couldn't understand it at all.

But looking at the style on the diagnosis book, he roughly guessed that Adek's Vulcan Moth should have a damaged body origin, and there were multiple dark wounds.

After a little thought, Naoki asked his sister to take care of the goat's milk, and then said to Adek, "Can you release the Vulcan Moth for me to see?" ”

"Oooh!" Adik hurriedly took out a red and white ball from his bag.

With a flash of white light, a large moth Pokémon with a body size of more than one meter six and a pair of blue eyes appeared in the living room.

Although it is a moth Pokémon, the Vulcan Moth looks very handsome, with a pair of red antennae on its cheeks, a ring of white fluff around its upper body, and three pairs of orange wings on its back.

The three pairs of wings were supposed to shine like blazing flames, but now they looked so dull that even the blue eyes had lost their color.

The Vulcan Moth's breath was sluggish, and it lay on the floor weakly, not even having enough strength to fly.

Looking at this scene, Adek's eyes were sour.

Vulcan Moth was the first Pokémon to have a heart in touch with him, and all the while, they fought together and had a good time together.

Adek always thought that this kind of day would last forever, but the end always came suddenly......

Adek sniffed uselessly, resisted the urge to tears, and crouched down to gently stroke his old partner.

There was sadness in his tone: "Vulcan Moth...... Will it be able to fly again? ”

Naoki shook his head, he didn't dare to promise: "Give it a try!" ”

With that, Naoki handed a bottle of Life Goat's Milk to Adek, "Feed it to your Vulcan Moth and drink it." ”

Looking at the bottle of milky white liquid that exuded a sweet scent, Adek immediately understood what it was.

This is...... A bottle of milk?

Adek's whole person fell into a daze, but the movements of his hands did not stop, and he fed the bottle of fresh milk to the Vulcan Moth.

When the Vulcan Moth drank the last drop of goat's milk into its stomach, the next second, a magical scene happened.

I saw that a milky white light suddenly erupted from the Vulcan Moth's body, and that light enveloped its body.

In Adek's dull gaze, Vulcan Moth's eyes gradually regained their brightness.

The space around it was heating up, and the six pairs of wings behind the Vulcan Moth bloomed like flames, emitting a fiery red glow.

For a moment, it was as if the god of fire had descended.

Looking at this scene, Adek suddenly felt the urge to cry.

Vulcan Moth is recovering!

When the white light dissipated, the Vulcan Moth fell back to the ground.

Although its spirit is still a little sluggish, and its body seems to be very weak, its state is obviously better than just now, I don't know how much!

Adek looked at this scene incredulously, and asked uncertainly, "Okay...... All right? ”

Naoki didn't know either, because although the current life goat's milk seemed to be very exaggerated, it was still some distance away from the real Phoenix King Holy Ash.

After a moment's thought, he turned his head to look at the Lei Guanwang behind him.

The Thunder Crown King was also attracted by the scene here.

Naoki asked, "Lei Guanwang, can you help me take a look at the physical condition of this Pokémon?" ”

Lei Guanwang bowed slightly.

He slowly floated to the stunned gaze of Adek, and then carefully examined the Vulcan Moth with his telekinesis.

He could feel the man's feelings for the Vulcan Moth, and the Thundercrown King was slightly moved in his heart, and in this case, he was happy to help them.

Therefore, facing the Vulcan Moth lying on the ground, the Lei Guanwang raised his hand slightly, and swayed a lot of soft blue light.

The blue light eventually converged into a crystal clear blue droplet, which slowly dripped from mid-air onto the Vulcan Moth.

"That's a drop of life, right?" It's the first time Naoki has seen this move.

The Life Water Drops healed the Vulcan Moth's dark wounds, and the Vulcan Moth finally fully recovered to its healthy state.

It floated with its energetic flapping wings.

Tears were already glistening in Adike's eyes.

The tall and vicissitudes of life didn't say a word, and directly stepped forward and hugged his Pokémon companion tightly.

Vulcan Moth's eyes were bent into crescents, and he happily grabbed his trainer with his small feet in front of him, and adjusted his body temperature to a temperature suitable for humans, acting as a large fluffy and warm pillow for Adik to hold.

Seeing this, Naoki and Lei Guanwang looked at each other and smiled, then turned around and sat back on the sofa.

After a long time, Adek sniffed heavily, adjusted his state, and sat back on the couch, his swarthy face flushed.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh!"

Naoki Wan'er, I didn't expect Adek to have such a side: "It's just a gesture, it's okay if the Vulcan Moth is fine." ”

To him it was just a bottle of goat's milk, but to Adek it meant a lot.

Seeing his expression, Adek looked extremely serious:

"In any case, I, Adek, owe you a favor."

Adek frowned: "If it weren't for you, I think after a while, I'm afraid I would have lost the Vulcan Moth forever, and after many years with it, I can feel that its life has come to an end......"

Truth be told, Adek was ready for that day to come—to face the death of the Vulcan Moth and bury it in the Tower of Heaven in the United Territories.

Naoki blinked, looked at Adek in front of him, and said meaningfully, "I always feel like you've changed a lot." ”

"Has it changed?" Adek was slightly stunned, and then said with relief: "Maybe! ”

Adek's tone was slow, as if he had a feeling, and said slowly:

"Trainers are working hard every day to become the champion who represents the strongest strength, but the championship is only a necessary path in life, not the end."

"The Vulcan Moth incident made me understand the greatness and impermanence of life...... Nothing strong is forever. ”

Adek smiled bitterly: "I was very sad when I learned that the Vulcan Moth's injuries could not be cured with the current level of medical care...... Because of this, I realized how great the joy of being with Pokémon is. ”

"yes!" Naoki agreed.

Whether it's becoming a trainer or doing something else, the most important thing is never to fight or become stronger, but to Pokémon itself.

Then, Naoki talked a lot more with Adek.

He learned from Adek that the affairs of the United Alliance were now handled by the Four Heavenly Kings, and that the United Alliance was currently working with the Pardea Alliance to build the Blueberry Academy.

Adek said that some of the hall owners in the United States are preparing to send their grandchildren to study at Blueberry Academy.

During the small talk, Adik's state and mood slowly recovered.

Under normal conditions, Adek's personality is very approachable, leisurely, optimistic and modest, and there is no championship at all.

Naoki thought it was quite interesting.

Somehow, Adek seems to have treated him as a fan and wants to give him a bunch of signed Poké Balls......

"Hahahaha!"

Believing that Naoki's attitude towards Pokémon was very close to him, Adike asked Naoki for a pen, then took out the Poké Ball from his backpack and began to sign on it.

"These insignificant little gifts should be given to you as ornaments!" Adik said.

Naoki: "? ”

He quickly reacted, and he was treated as a fan by Adeke through Dandy's act of looking for Adek to help him!

Oh, yes! If you're not a fan, who would do such a thing!

From Adek's point of view, he may be a fan who adores him very much.

As a fan, he always paid attention to Adek, and learned that Adek's main Pokémon Vulcan Moth was seriously injured, and immediately tried every means to find Yeci, and found Adek through Dandi to provide him with treatment.

“……”

Naoki didn't know what to say for a while.

He's not a fan of Adek!

Adeke was very moved, he put the pile of Poké Balls on the coffee table, patted Naoki's shoulder very proudly, and said to Naoki:

"If you need help in the future, feel free to come to me! I, Adek, will be the first to come! ”

Naoki: "......"

He silently swallowed the words of explanation, because for other reasons, Naoki didn't know how to explain to Adek that he would know him, and he also knew the news that Vulcan Moth was seriously injured.

However, Adek still felt unsatisfied: "Do you have anything you want?" If I can do it, I will help you! ”

"Nope." Naoki shook his head.

Speaking of the United States...... What made him more concerned was the three-headed dragon.

Zekrom, Rasiram, Kyurem.

But although Adek is the champion, I'm afraid he doesn't know the news of these three legendary Pokémon.

At this time, Adek's eyes suddenly saw the newspaper that Naoki had placed on the table.

Surprised, he asked, "Are you interested in this Lothom tech company?" ”

"Not really!" Naoki was stunned, and it took a while to realize what Adek was talking about.

"I just have an idea about communicators and want to talk to them," he said truthfully. ”

"Oh? Communicator? Is it a videophone? "Although Adek is not interested, but Naoki is interested, he has to ask a few more questions, maybe he can help him?

Seeing that Adek was curious, Naoki thought about it and felt that this matter was not impossible to say.

So he took the pen that Adek used to sign and drew a smartphone on a piece of paper.

"I wondered, if we could combine a video phone with a computer network? A small smart communicator made like this, equipped with the function of the Pokémon Illustrated Book, is very portable, and everyone can bring one with them at that time, and they can contact others at any time. ”

Adike wondered, isn't this the Pokémon Illustrated Book of the United Regions?

Some trainers in the United States will get a Pokémon Illustrated Book from the local Doctor when they go out, and the Pokédex is equipped with a communication function that allows them to communicate with the Doctor at any time.

Adek didn't figure it out, but he could help with it.

"I don't know any of these things either, but I have a way for you to meet the boss of Lothom Technologies!" Adik said.

"Huh?"

Adik grinned, "There will soon be a dinner party in the United States, which will invite famous tycoons, entrepreneurs, and powerful trainers from all over the world, and as is customary in previous years, the boss of Lothom Technology will also be present." ”

"I know him!" Adek recalled carefully and said, "I went there a few years ago, and that little daughter of his family is very fond of Pokémon battles. ”

"Every time I wear a small skirt at the banquet, I challenge the trainers, hall masters, and heavenly kings present, and I have also fought against that little girl!"

Hearing this, Naoki was stunned.

This little girl, shouldn't it be Nimo?

Adek looked at him, "It just so happens that I'm going to invite you to that dinner party and introduce you to that guy." ”

Although Adek didn't know Naoki before, the young man in front of him not only knew Dandi, but also had so many powerful Pokémon around him.

The champion's instinct told Adik that the scarlet muscle Pokémon in the living room and the Pokémon that had just healed the Vulcan Moth with a life droplet must be extremely strong.

He was eligible to go to that dinner.
