Chapter 404: Harvest Ceremony (End of Volume)

Maybe it's because tomorrow is the Harvest Festival, and the town is really getting more and more lively in the past two days.

From time to time, Naoki could see a few trainers with Pokémon passing by the ranch.

Undoubtedly, their destination is the Fertility Shrine on the back mountain.

Mayor Thomas and his entourage are very important to this year's bountiful festival.

From early in the morning, he led the people of the town to the back mountain to decorate the festival venue, and worked until dark.

So that night, when Naoki was feeding Pokémon in the pasture, he inadvertently looked at it and saw the bright lights on the back mountain, which was very lively.

Not only him, but the Pokémon in the ranch also noticed the scene over there.

The Pokémon, led by Doom, look very much looking forward to it.

Doom asked, "Boni?" (Naoki, will we go there tomorrow too?) )

"Of course." Naoki smiled and nodded, his gaze swept over the group of Pokémon in front of him, "Not only us, but the Lei Crown King is also going to go over and take a look!" ”

He had also participated in local festivals in Kitakamigo Township before.

Before the man died, every time the festival was held, one person and one Pokémon would put on a mask and go down the mountain to the town to celebrate with the people.

And when the man died, he didn't officially participate in the festival, he just put on a mask and stood at a distance watching the laughing people.

"...... Ni" looked expectant, wondering what the festival in this place would look like?

This question was quickly answered.

On September 30, 199 of the alliance calendar, the last night of autumn, the annual large-scale festival in Yanqin Town officially began.

A procession of Mayor Thomas and others made their way through the illuminated mountain path to the back mountain and went to the Harvest Shrine to worship King Leiguan.

On this day, the back mountain is particularly lively.

Trainers from all over the world came from all over the world, including several TV reporters and photographers, who came here to report the legendary deeds of the Pokémon Ray Crown.

There are many stalls under the mountain path in the back mountain.

All kinds of pedestrians are excitedly shuttling through it, picking out their favorite items.

There are stalls selling souvenirs, stalls selling small wood carvings of the king of leiguan, stalls selling roasted corn, and even an uncle shouting to sell the king carp.

"Carp King, super best carp king, very talented carp king! You can't buy a loss, you can't be fooled, only 3000 alliance coins are needed for one! Buy more, get more! ”

Naoki, who was covered in Eevee, narrowed his eyes when he heard the voice.

Why is there an uncle who sells the carp king in this place?

Looking closely, Naoki recognized the man as a fisherman he had seen at the beach before.

There were a lot of tourists around, and Naoki didn't forget to tell a few Pokémon around him, "Keep up!" Don't get lost, so Leton Motorcycle Lizard, help me take care of the Ievees and the Frost Fairy! ”

"Babu Tupa, can you help me take a look at the Saifu Man, huh? What about the Saifu? ”

Naoki turned his head to look around, and saw Saifu running enthusiastically to a stall selling roasted corn, handing it a few gold coins to the boss, and then taking a few roasted corn under the boss's surprised gaze.

Naoki: "......"

The Ievees hanging on Naoki also looked at the delicious and fun food in the stalls around them with anticipation.

The most extroverted of the people, Eevee quickly jumped to a stall selling barbecue, pointed to the fragrant barbecue and asked Naoki to buy it for him.

During this period, pedestrians on the road came and went, cutting off their view.

Naoki suddenly felt his head grow, and he stepped forward to buy a few skewers of barbecue, and then took Fire Eevee by the neck and put it on Gu Leton's back.

"There are too many people, don't run around!"

However, how could Ievee, who is lively and adventurous, be frightened by so many people.

Naoki didn't pay attention, and two more little Eevees disappeared, and the crowd around them scattered them.

"Ba Mo!"

Babu Tupa saw two little Ieves in a corner, screamed, and hurried to chase them.

Naoki has a headache, there are too many people now, and if it continues like this, the other Ievees will be lost.

In order to avoid this kind of thing, he could only take out the Poke Ball and take back all the Eevee beside him.

It was a long time before Babu Tupat flew back with the two Ibu.

Naoki poked their heads and took out the Poké Balls, "Let's go to the Poké Balls first!" ”

White light flashed, and Eevee was included in the Poké Ball.

Naoki and a few Pokémon next to him breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's keep going!"

After strolling around the stall for a while, Naoki took a group of Pokémon up the mountain trail and headed to the Harvest Shrine to participate in the festival.

Compared to below, there are not as many pedestrians on the mountain path.

The Harvest Shrine is built halfway up the back mountain, and it is a small shrine.

In the center of the shrine is a statue of King Reiguan, and in front of the statue are offerings of people harvested from the fields.

When Naoki arrived, Mayor Thomas was visiting the shrine.

There were a lot of reporters around.

Some reporters are facing the cameraman, who are live streaming.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Padia Evening News Channel, I'm journalist Koharu, and I'm broadcasting a lively festival of abundance. ”

"According to Xiaochun's understanding, this abundant festival seems to be a traditional festival here in Zhuqin Town, have you seen it? The Pokémon statue placed in the shrine is the statue of the legendary Pokémon Thunder King. ”

"The King of the Thunder Crown, the legendary King of Fertility, has the ability to make crops ripen and flowers bloom instantly, and it is said that when He descends on a place, he will make the land abundant."

"Maybe some viewers still have the impression that this Pokémon helped bring this mountain forest back to life this spring."

"What a great Pokémon!" Reporter Koharu said softly in front of the camera.

At this moment, the photographer in charge of recording the program suddenly noticed a vision above the shrine.

I saw a flash of light, and a Pokémon with a huge head, as if wearing a crown, appeared above the shrine, and was looking at the humans below with a loving face.

The photographer's mouth opened wide in surprise and hurriedly moved the camera.

Seeing his actions, reporter Xiaochun also looked back.

When she saw the figure that looked exactly like the statue in the shrine, her mouth opened in an O-shape.

"Wow! That Pokémon...... Could that Pokémon be the Thunder Crown? Oh, my God! The Thunder Crown King has appeared! ”

The townsfolk who were worshipping also saw the Lace Crown, and Mayor Thomas was not too surprised to know that the Lace Crown lived in the Naoki Ranch.

The rest of the townspeople, who didn't know it, were excited.

The legendary Pokémon has appeared! It must have sensed their sincerity, that's why he appeared here!

The footage was televised throughout the Padian region.

At this moment, all the people who watched the evening news witnessed the figure of Lei Guanwang.

Naoki stood not far away with Pokémon such as Oldon, looking at the expressions on the faces of those people.

He can now anticipate what will be on the headlines tomorrow.

"Shocked! Legend has it that Pokémon appeared at the festival for the purpose of—"

"The bond between Pokémon and humans! Legend has it that Pokémon trust humans and establish friendship with humans through festivals to protect the land! ”

There is no doubt that these news will make more people aware of the existence of the Thunder Crown, thus providing him with more faith and more power.

In this era of information dissemination at such a rapid pace, if nothing else, the deeds and legends of the Lei Guanwang will be passed on forever.

And today's incident may become a new legend thousands of years later, and become an eternal story of humans and Pokémon running to each other.

From now on, the Thunder Crown King will no longer have to worry about being forgotten by the world, thus losing his power and falling into the same situation as before.

"Huh......" Looking at the scene in front of him, Naoki couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It's also quite emotional, who would have imagined that things would develop into the way they are today?

In the beginning, he only wanted to take the two horses of the Leiguan King to participate in the horse racing tournament held in the town.

But he didn't expect that his faith would help the Lei Guan King by mistake and establish trust with him.

In front of the Shrine of Abundance, the Thunder Crown King slowly floated in front of everyone, looking at these people who worshipped Him, thanked Him, and trusted Him.

If someone had told Him a year ago that He would have been resurrected in the future, He would never have believed Him.

But now, it's really happening.

His little followers traveled thousands of miles across the sea to find Him in that strange land, helping Him find his beloved horse and regain his strength and memory.

He was invited to come to this new land, to spread His legend everywhere, and to make His existence known to more mankind.

All of this not only helped Him, but also allowed His power to break through and reach a whole new level.

For Naoki, King Leiguan's heart is full of gratitude.

He is also willing to trust the human beings who live on this land and bring them abundance.

Thinking of this, the Lei Guanwang looked at Naoki not far away, and looked at him gently.

It's all in plain sight.

Naoki smiled slightly and said to the Pokémon beside him, "Okay, let's go take a walk down the mountain!" ”

The Pokémon have no opinion.

On the mountain path down the mountain, he looked at the brightly lit scene and the lively atmosphere around him.

This reminded it of the festivals it had attended in the emerald town of Kitakami Township before.

Doom thought of the man who had died, perhaps because it was touching the scene, and its eyes were full of tears, and it cried out with sadness.

"Boni ......"

Naoki and the other Pokémon around him were stunned, and then they all set their eyes on Doom.

"Jingle bells?!"

Sai Fuhao was a little flustered, and he couldn't understand why the doom who had just been happy just now suddenly cried.

Naoki can roughly guess a little.

He reached out and touched Doom's head and asked, "Do you think about the past again?" ”

Doom looked at him sadly: "Poni. ”

Naoki sighed, he was not in a hurry to go down the mountain, so he simply took the Doom and sat down on a mountain path where there were no people.

Today's weather is very good, it is a cloudless sunny day, the night sky is cloudless, and you can see an extremely beautiful starry sky when you stay here.

Naoki took the Pokémon and said while looking at the starry sky:

"There is a rumor in our human life that after leaving this world, the soul will rise into the sky and become stars in the sky to guard their loved ones, guiding them in the dark night and guiding them in the way forward."

Hearing this, Doom raised his head and looked at the night sky.

The stars were reflected in its eyes, and Doom asked, "Boni?" ”

Naoki nodded: "Well, he must be there watching you, guarding you, hoping that you can have a good time, maybe he was the one who pointed me in the direction in the first place, let me find you, and take you out of that place." ”

Doom's face was moved: "...... Boni"

It wiped a handful of tears from its hands and struggled to regain its strength.

Then he stood up and pulled the straight tree with his hand: "Boni! ”

Naoki saw what Doom meant, and Doom was saying, "Go play!"

He smiled and said yes, and then went down the mountain with a few Pokémon.

The crowd of people around him, along with the appearance of the Lei Crown King, the atmosphere of the entire bountiful festival came to a peak.

Tourists heard the news of the appearance of the legendary Pokémon and rushed to the Harvest Shrine to watch.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around the stalls.

Naoki then released the Eevee from the Poké Balls and walked around with them.

Fire Eevee also wanted to eat barbecue, so Naoki bought several more skewers of barbecue for him.

Intrigued by the fish-shaped food sold at a stall, Mizuyibu bought him a large bag of food on a straight horse.

Reib took a fancy to a Pikachu-shaped night light, and Naoki bought it for him.

Ice Eevee and Moon Eevee stood in front of Uncle Carp King's booth with a few other little Eevees, watching the carp kings swimming in the water.

This time, without Naoki's move, Saifuhao confidently patted his chest and said that he had come to help Ibu buy these fish!

Naoki, who was frightened, hurriedly stopped it, stepped forward and took a few Pokémon away: "That's not an ordinary fish, and you can't eat it, it's a Pokémon!" ”

Hearing that he couldn't eat it, Sai Fuhao gave up.

Doom looked left and right, and it enjoyed the process of participating in the festival with Naoki more than those things.

It has not been able to participate properly before, either wearing a mask, or hiding in the corner, and being careful not to be discovered by others as a "ghost".

Now, it no longer needs to cover its face with a mask, and can wander around the festival as much as it wants.

In this regard, Ox Rick is very happy.

Therefore, Pokémon such as Lotton, Babu Tupa, Motorlizard, and Fast Dragon don't have anything to want, because compared to these Ebu, they are already full-fledged big Pokémon.

Seeing this, Naoki took out his mobile phone Lothom and prepared to record this scene.

He turned on the video recording function, pointed the camera at the Pokémon in front of him, and said to them, "Come on, smile, I'll record a video for you!" ”

With a click, the smiling faces of the Pokémon in the light were saved in the phone.

By the time it was all over, it was half past nine in the evening.

It was getting late, and the harvest festival was coming to an end.

Pokémon such as Eevee and Saifuga, who are tired of eating and drinking, start to fall asleep, and Naoki takes out Poké Balls and puts them all in the ball.

Doom is reluctant to enter the Poké Ball, and wants to walk home with Naoki.

Naoki was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile: "Okay, then let's walk home together." ”

They left the back mountain, riding the evening breeze and bathing in the starlight, Naoki led the Pokémon to the country road that led to the pasture and to their home.
