Chapter 598 Your Three Houses and My Three Houses Seem Different

The feather of the dream goddess Cresselia...

Naoki really didn't expect that the reward that Ye Ci mentioned before was actually this!

Cresselia, known as the incarnation of the crescent moon, is the opposite of the nightmare god Darkrai. Similarly, its power has the ability to make people have sweet dreams.

According to legend, if you sleep with the feather of Cresselia, you will have a sweet dream that night, and if you always carry the feather with you, it can protect the holder from nightmares forever.

Needless to say, this is a very precious gift.

Naoki accepted the feather and thanked Yeci earnestly: "Thank you very much, Chief."

May his daughter never be haunted by nightmares.

Ye Ci smiled. She leaned over and looked carefully at the child lying in the crib. She said softly to her:

"Little tree, you must grow up healthily!"

Ye Ci did not stay at the ranch for long. After delivering the gifts and looking after the children, she said goodbye to Naoki and said that she was going back to the Padya Alliance to deal with this year's affairs.

"It's only the first day of the new year. Is the Padilla Alliance so busy?" Naoki was a little surprised.

"Well, although we have finished last year's work, a lot of work has accumulated this year. This period is often the busiest time for the Padiya Alliance." Ye Ci said.

The weather is extremely cold, and heavy snow blocks roads and causes traffic accidents from time to time in various places.

Moreover, in this kind of weather, it is difficult for wild fruits to grow, and those wild Pokémon have no way to find food, which will lead to some wild Pokémon breaking into the city and causing damage and other accidents.

All these matters, big and small, will be reported to the Padya Alliance and then handled by staff from various departments of the alliance.

All in all, the job of the Chief Champion is very busy.

"I see." Naoki nodded to show that he understood.

"That's it, see you later!"

After saying that, Ye Ci turned and left.

Adek stared at her back and couldn't help but sigh: "What a strong woman!"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Naoki was a little surprised.

Adek's tone was full of admiration: "Don't you know? Padiya's chief champion is the president of the alliance and the champion at the same time. Yese is really amazing!"

After Adek said this, Naoki realized that the Padiya Alliance seemed to really have no alliance president...

And Ye Ci has been handling both the affairs of the alliance president and the champion at the same time. Isn’t this too amazing?

At this moment, Naoki finally understood that the entire Padilla Alliance, from top to bottom, were corporate slaves!

admire.

Unlike Yeci, Adek was not in a hurry to leave, so the couple simply invited him to stay at the ranch for lunch.

Adek readily agreed: "I've missed Naoki's cooking for a long time. Today I can finally eat his cooking!"

Qi Shu couldn't help laughing.

Naoki smiled and said, "Okay, I promise to let you eat enough."

It was already late, so Naoki simply tidied up and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Adek sat on the sofa, chatting with Naoki from a distance.

"By the way, the egg will hatch soon, probably in the next few days, so remember to pay more attention to it!"

"So fast?" Naoki was stunned.

"Compared to other Bug-type Pokémon, the growth of Inflammator is already very slow. Other Bug-type Pokémon can hatch from eggs in just a dozen days, but Inflammator takes several months!" said Adek.

Naoki nodded thoughtfully. As far as he knew, although Vulcano was also a bug-attribute Pokémon, its growth cycle was as slow as some quasi-God Pokémon.

In the game, the Burning Bug needs to be upgraded to level 59 before it can evolve into the Vulcan Moth.

Even for Dragonite, it only needs to reach level 55 to evolve into Dragonite.

It is conceivable how slow the growth cycle of a Pokémon like Incineroar can be.

However, this was also within Naoki's expectations, because Vulcano is a very rare Pokémon, even rarer than the quasi-god Pokémon Three-Headed Dragon in the Unova region.

In the distant past, the burning bug was believed to be a messenger of the sun, and its evolved form, the Vulcan moth, was portrayed as the god of fire and the incarnation of the sun.

These are enough to show how precious the Pokémon Vulcano is, not to mention that this egg is the offspring of a champion-level Vulcano.

It seems that Adek is very grateful for his previous help!
However, it was really just a small matter for Naoki.

Naoki was filled with emotion.

Sometimes it is like this, the seeds you planted unintentionally will blossom and bear fruit one day in the future and grow into towering trees.

And Adek's friendship is the fruit of that seed.

Perhaps this is the charm of the Pokémon world! People meet, get to know each other, and become friends because of Pokémon.

At noon, Naoki prepared a sumptuous lunch to celebrate his acquaintance with Adek.

Adek enjoyed his meal very much. After lunch, he started chatting with Naoki about some recent news in the Kalos region.

"By the way, Naoki, have you heard about the recent rumors about mega evolution circulating in the Kalos region?" asked Adek.

"Huh? Super evolution?" Naoki was slightly stunned.

Adek nodded. "Yes, that's what those doctors call it. In short, the three stages of evolution of Pokémon that we know of so far are not their end. Those Pokémon can continue to evolve."

"Take the Unova Pokémon Nikki for example. The first evolution it takes is to become a Nikki. The second evolution it takes is to become a Flame King. According to the original statement, the Flame King seems to be the limit of Nikki. However, the doctor in the Kalos region said that Pokémon can surpass the limit and continue to evolve upwards."

Naoki: "..."

So the signs of super evolution have already appeared at this time?
But come to think of it, when Ash set out to travel to the Kalos region, Mega Evolution had already been introduced to the world.

Their first encounter with Flame Chicken Mask and Super Flame Chicken is an example.

"Yes, I have heard of it." Naoki did not hide it: "Isn't that the research that Dr. Bratano is currently doing?"

"That's right! It seems to be called Blatano! How amazing! I didn't expect that Pokémon could evolve again... I wonder if Vulcano has that opportunity." Adek said with longing.

Hearing this, Naoki recalled carefully.

If he remembered correctly, Adek's Pokémon were: Vulcano, Nimblebug, Afro-Buffalo, Red-Faced Dragon, Double Dodo Ice, and Knight Snail.

"..."

Unfortunately, like him, Adek doesn't have a Pokémon in his team that can Mega Evolve.

They really are "suffering from the same disease"!

"So, I've decided to travel to the Kalos region later to take a look there and look for an opportunity to make the Vulcan Moth super evolve!" Adek made the decision.

As he said this, he looked at Naoki and said, "If I come across the super evolution items of Gulden and the others, I will definitely bring them back to you as soon as possible!"

Naoki: “…” However, Gulden is simply unable to mega evolve.

But his face still said, "Thank you very much, and I wish you all the best in your trip to the Kalos region."

"I'll lend you some good words!"

It was not until the evening that Adek left the ranch and set out on the road back to the Unova region. After he left, Naoki returned to the room and looked at Xiaoshu lying in the crib and the fiery red Pokémon egg beside her.

Naoki reached out and touched the egg, and immediately felt a very warm temperature from it.

"With this egg, we don't have to worry about the little tree catching a cold." Naoki said to the strange tree next to him.

The crib has a lot of space and can accommodate the egg and the small tree.

"That's it!" Qishu looked at his daughter on the bed tenderly.

Naoki remembered what Adek said that the egg would hatch in a few days.

Before that, he still had one thing to do, which was to put the egg into the breeding tree house and use the power of the breeding tree house to cultivate the egg.

The Nurturing Tree House has a very special power. It can draw nutrients from the earth and nature, and then feed them to the Pokémon in the eggs.

This will then greatly improve the physique, talent, and understanding of the Pokémon in the egg.

Thinking of this, Naoki took a look at tomorrow's weather and found that it would be a sunny day tomorrow, so it would probably be warmer by then.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that for today! I'll take Xiaoshu and Dan to the breeding tree house tomorrow." Naoki thought to himself.

He originally wanted to find a Dragonite from Dragonite Island who was willing to entrust the egg to him and give it to Xiaoshu, so that the mini Dratini inside could grow up with Xiaoshu.

But it might be difficult for Xiaoshu to get along with and take care of two Pokémon at the same time. One of the three will definitely be neglected, and it would be bad if conflicts arise at that time.

After a little thought, Naoki decided to wait until Xiaoshu grew up a little and let her go to Dragonite Island by herself to see if she could get the recognition of some Dratini and Haxorus.

"Let her continue sleeping here!" Naoki said.

Qi Shu nodded slightly, and the two of them left the room quietly.

But when Naoki just closed the door carefully, he saw Raigong, Entei and Suicune coming into the living room at some point.

Seeing the three of them, Naoki was slightly stunned.

"Haven't you already returned to the World Tree?"

As far as he knew, the three sacred beasts of the Phoenix King should also have their own missions, and it was almost impossible for them to stay on the ranch forever.

In the anime, the three of them wander around the world, and Suicune was even caught by humans with an insect net...

However, it is not known whether that Suicune and the Suicune in front of him are the same Naoki.

Hearing Naoki's question, Suicune said in a soft tone telepathically: "Lord Ho-oh has arranged a new mission for us."

The majestic Entei continued, "Lord Fengwang saw the potential of becoming the Rainbow Hero in Xiaoshu. She, like you, is a person who has inherited the power of nature."

Lei Gong finally said: "So, before she grows up, we must stay by her side to protect her and guide her until the day she becomes the Rainbow Warrior."

Hearing the words of the three sacred beasts, Qi Shu covered his mouth in surprise.

What? These three legendary Pokémon are staying to protect their daughter?
Can……

Naoki was also very surprised. He asked uncertainly, "Did the King of Phoenix arrange for you to do this?"

The three sacred beasts in front of them nodded in unison.

"But don't you need to complete your mission?" Naoki was very puzzled.

As far as he knew, the three sacred beasts all had their own missions waiting to be accomplished.

For example, Suicune uses the power of the north wind to purify a polluted water source.

However, he heard Yan Di say in a majestic tone: "To guide the chosen ones to become the Rainbow Warrior, this is our mission."

Naoki: "..."

This is true.

In the movie, it was with the guidance of these three that Satoshi successfully passed the test, became the Rainbow Hero, and met Ho-Oh.

However, Naoki always had an indescribable feeling about letting the three sacred beasts protect his daughter as she grew up.

A strange picture emerged in his mind.

When Xiaoshu was ten years old, he brought the three sacred beasts to her and told her that these were the three sacred beasts he had prepared for her.

Naoki: "..."

Others' three favorites: Fire Crocodile, New Leaf Cat, Runshui Duck
Xiaoshu's three guardians: Entei, Suicune, and Raigong

"Then I'll have to ask you to take care of me when the time comes," Naoki said.

Hearing this, the three holy beasts knew that Naoki agreed to their request to stay.

And Naoki turned his gaze to Entei.

The Entei in front of Naoki reminded him of the Entei in the movie "Emperor Entei of the Crystal Tower".

It’s no wonder that Emperor Yan’s majestic and solemn appearance is quite like the role of a father in the family.

Entei seemed a little confused by Naoki's gaze.

"What are you looking at?"

"Do you know Xiaomei?" Naoki suddenly asked. He remembered that the protagonist in the movie was Xiaomei.

And Yan Di plays the role of Xiaomei's father in the film.

"I don't know him." Emperor Yan shook his head.

"I understand." Naoki nodded. It turned out that the Entei was transformed from an unknown totem!
Yan Emperor was even more puzzled, but his character would not allow him to dig into the matter. If he couldn't figure it out, he simply ignored it.

In this way, the three sacred beasts stayed on the ranch.

*
The next morning, when the temperature gradually warmed up, Naoki took out the eggs and small trees of the burning insects and put them in the breeding tree house.

Qishu used to sleep here often, and the blanket he used to sleep here is still in the tree house.

In order to keep warm, Naoki called Flareon and let it jump into the breeding tree house, and then put the small tree and the eggs of the incendiary bug into it.

Flareon cleverly used its big tail to protect the small tree and the eggs. The heat emanating from its body quickly filled the entire tree house, making the surroundings warm.

"Fire Eevee, I'll leave this to you!" Naoki touched its head.

"Buey!" Flareon nodded happily. It was very happy that it could help Naoki.

Seeing this, the other Eevees around also jumped into the breeding tree house.

Sylveon, Umbreon, Sun Eevee, Leafeon, Jolteon, Partner Eevee...

With the call of "Buee Buee", a group of Eevees surrounded the small tree and the Burning Bug's eggs, using their furry fur and body temperature to keep them warm.

Seeing this scene, Naoki was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"thank you all."

"Buyi~"

The three sacred beasts lay not far away and watched this scene. Following the orders of Lord Phoenix, they guarded the future Rainbow Hero with great professionalism.
