In the year 199, at the beginning of May, the weather was fine.

It's a hot summer day, and a breeze with a hint of heat blows through the vibrant farmlands.

The harvest season is ushered in in the pasture, and the fragrance of the fruit is bathed in the aroma of grass.

In the morning, Naoki put on a straw hat, picked up an electric clipper, and went to trim the wool from the pigtailed sheep.

Half a month has passed since their arrival, and the wool of the pigtailed sheep has grown extremely fast, and now it has grown to a thick layer.

Coupled with the hot weather, the pigtailed sheep were all stuffed into a state of malaise.

Naoki opened the fence gate at the entrance of the pigtailed sheep and helped the pigtailed sheep cut the thick and dense fluff on their bodies one by one.

At first, Naoki's craftsmanship was still very unfamiliar, so he went to consult the owner of the Pokémon next door who raised pigtailed sheep.

After hard work, I finally mastered the skills of wool trimming.

First of all, prepare a special electric fader in advance.

Then put the pigtail sheep in a sitting position, starting at the heels of the forelimbs, then down the thighs to the stomach, and then down to the heels of the hind legs.

After trimming the abdomen, trim the waist upwards, from the lower part of the back all the way to the neck of the braided sheep.

In this way, a complete braid of sheep wool is trimmed.

Naoki remembers the old rancher next door telling him that the more complete the wool trimmed, the more valuable it is, and if it breaks in the middle, there is no way to sell it for a good price.

Therefore, the whole process has to be energetic and concentrated, and the wool cannot be sheared.

Pruning may seem simple, but in practice it is very tedious and detailed.

After trimming the wool of the eight pigtailed sheep with such concentration, Naoki felt that his waist was about to be broken.

Glancing at the time, the whole process has been going on for nearly two hours.

If there are a few more, I'm afraid he's really going to heaven.

However, after pruning, looking at the refreshing and refreshing braid sheep in front of him, Naoki was also very happy.

The thick wool was sheared, and the pigtails felt much lighter and less stuffy, which made their mental state become active.

"It's been trimmed, let's go play!" Naoki said with a smile.

Eight pigtailed sheep lined up on the hillside in a uniform posture, like a formation of soldiers.

This is the characteristic of Pokémon such as the Pigtail Sheep.

They usually act in groups, and like to imitate the behavior of their owners or group bosses.

The green fields are full of life.

Fertile pastures, blooming wildflowers, pigtailed sheep in wooden fences, butterflies attracted by the scent of flowers......

Looking at this scene, Naoki sighed softly: "What a beautiful picture!" ”

He smiled, then folded back to the front with the wool on the ground.

In some of the larger cities of the Padia region, handmade wool products like this are very expensive and often fetch a good price in the market.

It's a pity that Naoki didn't master this skill, and he couldn't make handmade wool carpets and scarves, so he could only sell the sheared wool.

Although the price is not as good as those handmade products, it is also a very good income for the ranch.

Putting the wool in the warehouse, Naoki returns to the living room, ready to rest for a while, drink a glass of water and go on other work.

As soon as he entered the house, several Pokémon pounced.

Naoki touched their heads one by one, then walked to the corner of the living room, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of cold soda from it, and poured it into his mouth.

When Naoki sat on the sofa, the little Eevee jumped on his shoulder skillfully and affectionately lied to him.

Naoki ate this the most, and immediately picked it up with Ibu's front paws and played with it.

In the corner of the living room, Ice Eevee hid behind a wall, only half of his face exposed for covert observation.

When there were no Pokémon of the same kind before, it didn't feel it, but now that there was suddenly another Eevee in the ranch, Ice Eevee immediately felt a different atmosphere.

It turns out that Naoki will do the same to Eevee!

But why hasn't it been treated? It's never been treated like that......

Ice Eevee also wanted Naoki to play with him like that, but it felt like a mature big Eevee, and it was too embarrassing to let it do that kind of thing again.

Naoki didn't notice the ice in the corner.

On weekdays, his Pokémon go to various places to play, and they can be found in some dark corners.

For example, in a dimly lit basement, under the bed on the second floor, behind the TV, on the roof of the house.

So even if one suddenly disappears, Naoki is used to it, unless they haven't come back at mealtime.

Naoki finds the "Ibu Daencyclopedia" that he bought at the bookstore before, which is a book that records various Ievee.

Its author is an Ibrahimovee named Eevee Fan.

Holding Eevee in his arms, Naoki opened the book and looked at the contents with it.

"Let's see, what kind of Eevee do you want to be in the future?" Naoki asked.

In this regard, Ibu was puzzled: "Bu Tea? ”

Naoki thought for a moment and explained, "It's okay to choose your growth direction in advance!" Once you've chosen, will I help you move towards that goal, or do you want to stay the way you are and not want to evolve? ”

Hearing this, Ibu immediately shook his head: "Bu Tea! "It still wants to evolve into a more powerful Eevee.

Naoki couldn't help but smile, "Then let's take a look!" So far, you have a total of eight evolutionary directions to choose from. ”

Eevee hung his head and read.

Naoki pointed to the eight Eevee evolutions above, and introduced them one by one:

"Fire Eevee, a fire-type Pokémon capable of scorching flames from his mouth to scorch opponents."

"Boo?" Eevee looked interested, a little curious about the fire Eevee.

Naoki continued: "Mizueki, a water-type Pokémon that can merge with water so that others can't see it, but after evolution, there will be no hair on the body, and when the time comes, it will become smooth, like a fish in the water. ”

Eevee shuddered and immediately shook his head, it didn't want to be like this!

"This is Reib, who can spit out powerful electricity from his mouth, and the hair on his body will stand up when stimulated, and the book says that because of the stimulation of the current, Reib will become a little nervous and difficult to get along with."

Ievee didn't seem to be very interested in Reib.

"Then look at this Ye Yibu, it is a grass-type Pokémon, and after evolution, it can use photosynthesis to replenish nutrients, so you don't have to look for food anymore."

Eevee's eyes lit up, but it shook its head at the thought of the delicious food, it didn't want to be like this.

Naoki smiled slightly, and continued to look at the next one: "This is just Ice Eevee, an ice-type Pokémon with a cold body, which can condense ice and snow to freeze the enemy." ”

"Speaking of which, we also have an ice Eevee at home, you must have seen it already, right?" Naoki asked.

Eevee immediately remembered the cold, somewhat difficult looking Ice Eevee: "Boubb......"

Naoki saw Ibu's thoughts: "Actually, it's a very kind Eevee, but it won't show it, it lives in the Xiaoice house in the back." ”

Speaking of this, Naoki suddenly raised his head in happiness, and his gaze just met that of Bing Yibu, who was secretly observing in the corner.

Bing Yibu looked panicked and immediately retracted his head.

However, Naoki didn't intend to let it go.

He got up and hugged Ice Eevee and let him sit on his lap with Eevee.

The two Ievees made eye contact.

Little Eevee blinked, then greeted it in a friendly manner, "Boo! ”

Ice Eevee's face didn't change much, it looked cold, and it turned away, not looking at Eevee.

"Buta ......," Eevee's tone was very disappointed.

Hearing Eevee's sad cry, Bing Eevee's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think:

Will it break the heart of this little Eevee? It looks so young...... It should be sad to be treated so coldly, right?

Thinking of this, Bing Yibu turned his head hesitantly and responded softly: "Bu Tou." ”

Xiao Yibu's eyes immediately showed a happy light, and he took the initiative to step forward and rub Bing Yibu.

Being treated like this suddenly, Bing Yibu couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Such an enthusiastic little Eevee is a bit like a frost milk fairy...... If you look at it this way, it doesn't seem to be that annoying.

The interaction between the two Pokémon is watched by Naoki.

He explained to Ice Eevee about the origin of little Eevee: "This Eevee, who survived the forest fire last year, has lost its home and can only live in the town. ”

Ice Eevee knew about the fire, and at that time it was also involved in it, and it also saw a lot of dead Pokémon.

Thinking of this, Bing Yibu's face was full of emotion, and when he looked at Yibu again, his expression was full of sympathy, and he felt that this little guy was quite pitiful.

Little Eevee didn't seem to feel it, it tilted its head to look at the ice Eevee in front of it, and noticed that this Ice Eevee didn't hate itself so much, and it immediately screamed happily.

"Boo!"

Naoki touched the heads of the two Eevees and said with a smile, "Okay, then let's continue watching!" ”

"The next thing I'm going to introduce you to is Sun Eevee."

"Unlike those Eevees just now, Sun Eevee can use superpowers to fight, the red beads on its forehead can absorb sunlight and convert it into spiritual power, but Sun Eevee is not good at fighting at night."

Eevee and Ice Eevee looked down at the photo of their own people in the book.

They've never heard of Sun Eevee before!

"The black one below is the opposite of Sun Eevee, its name is Moon Eevee, and it is an Eevee that evolved at night and is able to use the power of moonlight."

"Boo......-tah," Eevee muttered, black hair, he didn't like it, he didn't want to be like this.

Ice Eevee didn't feel much because it had evolved.

At this moment, Eevee suddenly noticed the special Eevee below.

It patted the picture with a meat pad and asked, "Bu Te Bu Bab?" ”

Naoki looked at it and said with a smile, "This is Fairy Eevee, it's cute, right?" There was once a human being who wrote a beautiful fairy tale based on the fairy Eevee. ”

Hearing this, Eevee and Bing Eevee immediately became curious about this fairy tale.

"Boo?" The two Eevees asked in unison.

Naoki raised an eyebrow: "You want to hear it?" ”

"Boo!" They nodded in unison.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about it." Naoki cleared his throat, leaned back on the couch, and began to tell the two Ievees about the fairy tales he had heard from the Galel region.

"It is said that a long, long time ago, there was a small town called Apple Town, where people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived happily."

"Until one day, a terrible dragon Pokémon came to the town, and it snatched the mayor's daughter and destroyed the apple trees in the town, which made the people very scared."

"At such times, a beautiful and kind fairy Eevee came to the town, and when he heard about the troubles of the townspeople, he bravely set out on a journey to defeat the dragon."

"After some hard work, the beautiful fairy Eevee managed to rescue the mayor's daughter and help the people fight off that terrible dragon-type Pokémon."

"After that, Fairy Eevee lived happily with the people."

After listening to this fairy tale, Eevee and Ice Eevee couldn't help but look longing.

"Boo!"

However, this was also heard by a few dragon-type Pokémon next to him.

Kuailong retorted loudly: "Woo! "Dragon-type Pokémon aren't badass!

It's also a dragon-type Pokémon, so it's never done anything like that!

"Quack......" The motorcycle lizard hesitated, but it also felt that Kuailong's words were not wrong.

So Lerton also came over to join in the fun: "Ahh ”

The three dragon attribute Pokémon are standing on the united front, and Naoki is bound to give an explanation.

Naoki: "......"

"It's just a fairy tale, if you want to hear it, I can also tell the story of a brave dragon Pokémon who defeats the villains and saves the world." He said.

"Ahh So Le Dun immediately said that they would listen to it at night!

Naoki had no choice but to agree: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you at night." ”

A few blackened dragon-type Pokémon are satisfied.

Naoki looked at the bright-eyed Eevee and asked, "Have you thought about it?" What do you want to be in the future? ”

Without hesitation, Eevee stretched out the meat pad and patted this photo of fairy Eevee: "Bu Ta Bu Bab! ”

Naoki: "......" It seems that little Eevee still has a dragon-slaying heart!

"It's decided?" Naoki asked.

Ibu nodded repeatedly: "Bu Tea! ”

"Okay, then I'll help you cultivate in the direction of Fairy Eevee in the future."

Naoki said as he recalled the way the fairy Eevee evolved in the game.

It seems that you have to reach a certain level of friendship with the trainer, and then learn a fairy attribute move before you can evolve?

In that case, it will take some effort.

But for Naoki, it doesn't matter.

Well, they have it.

When the rest was almost over, Naoki let the two Eevees go to play by themselves for a while, and he took Soleton and the motorcycle lizard out the door to the tree orchard.

In more than ten days, a new batch of tree fruits has all grown.

Looking at the round and plump fruits on the fruit tree, Naoki was ready to use them all to make energy cubes.

The amount of fruit was a bit large, but thanks to the help of the Pokémon, the picking went smoothly.

The fruits were put into a basket, and the whole orchard filled six baskets of fruits.

To Naoki's surprise, there were two dyed fruits in the fruit this time!

[Dyed fruit: A special ingredient that changes the color of the Pokémon after eating, and can be eaten directly or after cooking.] ]

Last time, it was after eating this thing that Babu Tupa turned into a shining Babu Tupa.

And now that means that in addition to Babu Tupa, there are two more glitter Pokémon in the ranch!

Who should it be for?

So Lotton?

He remembered that Loton was black, and it felt very cold and handsome.

Or is it Eevee?

Because if it is given to Eevee, the fairy Eevee that it will evolve into will become the flash fairy Eevee, and the color will change from pink to blue, which will look even more cute.

It's decided, and Ibu will give one of them to Ibu!

So the rest of the ......

Just as Naoki was thinking about who to use, he suddenly saw the hack dragons who came over and were playing in the orchard.

Naoki's gaze was on one of the distinctive pink hackdragons.

It is well known that the color of the Flash Hack Dragon will change to a terrible green after evolving into a fast dragon.

These hackrons must have evolved by then.

The green color of the fast dragon is also too terrifying.

After a moment of contemplation, Naoki beckoned to the hack dragons.

"Huh?"

The hackrons flew over curiously.

Naoki handed the remaining dyed fruit to the pink hackron:

"This fruit can help you become like everyone else, do you want to eat it?"

The heterochromic hackdragon blinked, then opened its mouth and ate the dyed fruit in one gulp.

In the next second, a burst of light erupted from its body.

In the light, the color of the hack dragon changed rapidly, from the original pink to the same as everyone else.

The few hackdragons next to him were amazed at this scene, and they whined and whined and circled around the companion.

Hackron, who has become the same as everyone else, has an incredible face.

But the expression on its face was very happy and excited, and it didn't feel any sad that it had become a normal hackron.

"Sure enough!" Looking at this scene, Naoki knew that he had done nothing wrong.

He reached out and touched the heads of the hackdragons, and said, "Alright, you guys go on playing, I'm going to work!" ”

The Hackdragons surrounded him, and then excitedly said that they were going to help with the work too, just like the fast dragons who helped Naoki!

"Whew!"

Looking at the expectant looks on the Hackrons, Naoki couldn't help but fall silent.

He glanced back at the baskets of tree fruits beside him.

Hackron doesn't have hands, so there's no way to help him carry the tree fruit, right?

Although you can use the fruit in your mouth, it is too inconvenient.

After such a hesitation, Layton and the Motorlizard had already moved the fruit to the last basket.

Seeing that Guleton came over and picked up the last basket of tree fruits, Naoki could only say to the Hackrons:

"I feel your intentions, but you're still too young now, let's help when you become a big dragon!"

"Woo......"

The Hackrons looked lost.

Turning into a dragon...... Does it mean to evolve into a fast dragon?

That's right! When they evolve into fast dragons, they can help Naoki, just like those fast dragons!

The hackrons quickly perked up, their hearts full of fighting spirit.

It's decided!

They have to work hard to get stronger!

Naoki didn't know what the Hackrons were going to do, but when he saw them cheering up, he smiled and said:

"Go ahead and play, I'm going to send these tree fruits to the house."

So Layton and the motorcycle lizard had already run to the car, and Naoki took the driver's seat and drove the pickup truck full of tree fruits all the way to the front of the house.

Then, together with the two Pokémon, he began to move the tree fruits into the living room and put them in the kitchen.

Some of them are kept for making Bonfen and Tree Juice, and the rest of the Naoki are going to be used for researching Power Cubes.

The study of energy cubes is an extremely complex task.

Some rare energy cube recipes won't be used to the outside world, so Naoki can only research it on his own.

At present, the recipes of the energy cubes he only has in his hands are handful.

Used to attract poisonous babies, used to raise Kirbymon......

But that's not enough.

Therefore, Naoki is going to use today's day to research a new variety of energy cubes.

After all, there is a big stomach king Kirby beast in the ranch, but he is not worried that the energy cubes he made will not be eaten and wasted.

First of all, he wants to improve the little Kirbymon food that Yu Hui gave him.

Kirbymon is the initial form of Kirbymon, and after evolving into Kirbymon, not only its size, but also the amount of food it eats has increased dramatically.

This makes the original energy block insufficient.

Recalling the recipe for the little Kirbymon's delicacies, Naoki picked out several tree fruits from the box.

"After the evolution, Kirbymon's food volume has increased, and the previous energy cube is no longer able to satisfy it, huh...... If you want to improve, you need to not only add tree fruits, but also replace some special tree fruits. ”

"Changing the cranberry fruit into the furry fruit contains more energy and calories than the cranberry fruit, and only in this way can the needs of Kirbymon be satisfied."

"And berries for seasoning......" Naoki thought of Kirbymon's unique taste, and even the stinky muddy poison rice bowl could be eaten.

This fruit has a sweet flavor that works for humans and other Pokémon, but it's a bit of a frustration for Kirbymon.

As a result, Naoki replaced the berries with the more calorie-rich exotic fruits.

In addition to this, it is necessary to increase the amount of tree fruits......

Thinking about it, Naoki began to do it.

Although the process of making energy cubes by hand is not as convenient as the Tree Fruit Mixer, the operability and upper limit will be higher.

Peel the fruit, mix, heat it, stir it, and ......

Eventually, a special energy cube with a black color was freshly baked.

Naoki took a look, only to see that it was a failed product that had no effect.

"Failed?" Naoki wasn't too surprised, but began to think about what went wrong.

After a moment of contemplation, he made a second attempt.

Then came the third and fourth ......

On the fifth time, the color of the power cube did not turn black, but instead took on a strange indigo purple color.

Naoki realized that these energy cubes were unusual, and immediately couldn't wait to check their information.

[Kirby Beast Food: Kirbymon special energy cubes, using advanced tree fruit compression technology, dozens of high-energy tree fruits are compressed into a special energy cube, only one, you can make Kirbymon satisfied, note: Ordinary Pokémon is strictly forbidden to eat!] ]

"It worked!"

Looking at the energy cube in front of him, Naoki was happy in his heart, his research direction was indeed not wrong!

In this way, the problem of raising Kirby Beasts is much simpler.

Zhicheng washed his hands and took out a pen and paper to record the recipe of this energy cube.

Naoki has two notebooks.

One is the "Cookbook", which records in detail the ingredients and preparation methods required for those special dishes, as well as the specific effects.

The other book is "Energy Cubes and Treasure Cubes", which records the recipes and production methods of Treasure Blocks and Energy Cubes, as well as the special effects of Energy Cubes.

Now, there's another recipe for this notebook.

After the recording, Naoki began the next step of research with great interest.

This time, he had no research direction, and focused on a casual arrangement, arranging and combining any tree fruit to make energy cubes.

As the clock ticked by, the sun rose high and then disappeared into the distant skyline.

At the end of a hard day's research, although he was not as good as those powerful cultivators, Naoki also figured out some basic energy cube recipes on his own.

Like what:

[Grass Energy Cube: An energy cube used to attract grass-type Pokémon, if placed in the wild, it will definitely attract grass-type Pokémon.] ]

[Insect Dim Sum: An energy cube used to attract insect attributes, its taste is very popular with insect attribute Pokémon, and it will definitely attract insect attribute Pokémon when placed in the wild.] ]

……

"Barely works." Looking at these energy cubes, Naoki felt a little sorry that there were no energy cubes with magical effects and effects against the sky.

After a little thought, he shared these energy cubes with Bada Butterfly, Mount Goat, Oliva, and Three Bees, which are Pokémon with insect attributes and grass attributes.

The results were well received by everyone.

Naoki was very happy, which at least showed that his day was not in vain.

After dark, Naoki had planned to go to bed early after dinner.

But before he could get into bed, he was stopped by a few dragon-type Pokémon in the ranch.

Naoki: "......"

That's it.

"Come with me!" Naoki Road.

In the living room, Reiguan was watching TV, and Naoki went outside with a few Pokémon and sat down on the riverside where fireflies were flying.

So Leton, the motorcycle lizard, and the fast dragon looked at them expectantly.

Naoki said that he would tell them the story of the heroic dragon Pokémon fighting off evil and saving the world at night.

The story of a dragon-type Pokémon......

Naoki didn't know where to start for a while.

After all, there really is a fairy tale in the Galel region where Fairy Eevee defeats the dragon Pokémon.

After thinking for a moment, Naoki suddenly had a good idea in his mind.

Pregnant! Since the fast dragons want to hear it, then he will tell the story of the war that Liekong sat to stop the war between Groudor and Gaioca and save the world!

After all, Lie Kong Sitting is also a dragon-type Pokémon.

Thinking of this, Naoki slowly spoke:

"Once upon a time......
