Chapter 284 The Elves' New Home on the Island! (4.2k views, 3140 bonus chapters for monthly votes)

After the joke, the two walked side by side on the soft sand, the waves gently lapping against the shore.

"How have you been doing here?"

Xia Chi turned her head and asked.

Although Uniqlo would occasionally report to him on the island's construction progress over the past month or so.

But as his only employee at present, Xia Chi will definitely have to give him more care.

"That's wonderful! There's an orchard, a flower field, and we can live peacefully with the elves."

Yui's smile instantly became incredibly genuine and warm, and her gaze unconsciously drifted to a spot not far away.

Swellow was preening its feathers on the lush tree trunk, Blaziken was leisurely napping in the shade, and Houndoom, as always, followed silently behind, keeping watch.
She took a deep breath; the sea breeze carried the scents of sunshine and plants.

Then she turned to look at Xia Chi, a bright smile on her face, "There is no intrigue, no smoke of battle, only pure peace and happiness. For me, there is no better place to stay."

Such idyllic pastoral scenes might seem a bit bland to those accustomed to the hustle and bustle of the city.

But for Yui, who once struggled in the shadow of Team Magma, being able to live on this island was undoubtedly fate.
No, it was the most precious gift Xia Chi gave her.

Furthermore, this is not a place isolated from the world.

Across the sea lies Shanghai, the most prosperous metropolis in the Donghuang region.

While chatting, Xia Chi and Youyi approached the residential area that was mostly completed.

The house wasn't very big, at least not compared to a century-old mansion like the McCoy Estate.

Furthermore, its exterior decoration is quite different from the artistic style of the Mikkel family.

With its simple and smooth lines and refreshing and bright color scheme, it presents a modern and fashionable feel, which is more in line with Xia Chi's aesthetic preferences.

Around the main building, there are many smaller buildings that Xia Chi requested to be built, such as Bictini's dessert shop, Ponpo's little garden, and Xiong's martial arts arena.
These little houses are also harmoniously scattered around, blending naturally with the environment, and look like they are almost finished.

At this moment, the entire area is filled with the busy atmosphere of wrapping up.

Chief designer Gerald was directing several assistants, with strong, muscular men and veteran builders moving in and out around them, carrying furniture, decorations, and potted plants, making the final touches on the interior design.

Gerrard said that we can officially move in next month.

Yui explained, "As for the lingering smell after the renovation, there's no need to worry. They have a professional team to handle it, using the natural fragrance of grass-type spirits to mask and absorb those smells."

"It mainly depends on which fairy scent you prefer, Xia Chi. Beautiful Flower and Sweet Cold Queen are both good options."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chi quickly waved his hand and said, "It's alright, just leave this to my Magic Masked Cat."

Given Meowha's personality, she would go crazy if the house were filled with the scents of other Grass-type Pokémon.

"correct."

Thinking of this, Xia Chi took out all the Poké Balls hanging from his waist and pressed the button.

A flash of light appeared, and Meowha, Ponpon, and other companions appeared one after another around us.

Although I knew beforehand that my future home had changed a lot during this period, the shock and joy of witnessing the blueprint become a reality were completely different.

The elves were instantly captivated by their surroundings and looked around in delight.

Ponpo immediately spotted her little garden.

She looked up at Xia Chi and whispered, "Bo Ni?"

Xia Chi, may I go take a look over there?

Xia Chi squatted down, pinched her chubby little face, and said softly, "Of course, you can take care of that little garden from now on."

Then he looked around at his companions and said with a smile, "You guys too, go and get familiar with our new home."

The elves cheered and scattered, leaving only Meowha and Latias to guard Xia Chi's side.

Ponpon was the first to arrive at the newly built garden.

It curiously poked the newly planted seedlings, still covered in dew, with its little hand.

She carefully touched the tender green vines twining around the white fence, her bright yellow eyes sparkling with curiosity and satisfaction, as if she could already see the future scene of flowers blooming.

The bear disciple stared intently at the wooden martial arts arena, then looked up at the bare cliff of the "Martial Arts Waterfall" in the distance. His little fists were clenched, and his eyes were focused and determined.

This will be a new starting point for its pursuit of martial arts.

On the other side, Bictini also appeared next to that dessert shop that looked like an oversized macaron.

The little wings flapped excitedly at high frequency, as if it was already imagining a sweet scene filled with tree fruit cake and Bo Fun.

It stopped in front of the round window, its little face pressed against the glass as it peered inside, its tail tip wagging happily.

There was nothing inside, of course.

However, Xia Chi plans to bring back a few puppies and pedigree dogs from the Padiya region this time.

These two elves are great helpers in making pasta.

If you think about it that way, you can actually bring back and raise Pokémon like Saltstone and Hairy Crab.

It can not only enrich the island's ecology, but also enrich the taste buds.
Oh no, when did I catch Mikoli's infection too!
------

Compared to his other companions, Bangilas seemed somewhat out of place.

Its massive body moved very carefully, as if afraid that its heavy footsteps would damage the newly paved stone path and lawn.

The prisoner craned his neck, gazing intently at the distant desert area that belonged to him, his small eyes filled with longing.

Xia Chi, who had anticipated this, smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, old teacher, do you want to take a look at your territory?"

The usually composed Tyranitar nodded excitedly, letting out a deep, joyful roar: "Gaho!"

While Liu Pengpeng and Bictini familiarized themselves with the environment in the residential area, Xia Chi retrieved the impatient prison guards and flew directly to the desert and Gobi on the other side of Latias.

The "development and construction" process was not clearly explained to the contractor, Groudon.

The desert was quite far from the residential area; even at full speed, it took Latias three minutes to reach it.

A rough estimate suggests that the two locations are at least ten kilometers apart.

This distance... If the prison guards want to play with the cats and dogs in the future, won't they have to travel a long way?
Xia Chi muttered to himself.

But on second thought, it's not a big problem.

Find an oasis on the edge of the desert, build a few rustic oasis cottages, and occasionally bring other friends over for a vacation to experience the desert atmosphere.

It must be said that Guqiang has done an extremely meticulous job of building this barren Gobi desert.

As Latias descended, Groudon's masterpiece was fully revealed.

The vast expanse of yellow sand and the jagged rocks create a majestic and desolate atmosphere.

It looks no different from naturally formed landforms, and is even more magnificent and breathtaking.

Landing on the soft sand, Xia Chi immediately released Lao Ban from the Poké Ball.

As soon as it appeared, Tyranitar's massive body trembled slightly involuntarily.

It took a deep breath of the dry air, which carried the scent of sand, looked around, and its eyes burst with indescribable joy.

Immediately, he couldn't help but throw his head back and let out a roar full of liberation. "Gahoo!"

Seeing its excited appearance after it came out, Xia Chi knew that he had made the right choice in asking Groudon to build this place.

Although Laoban had never lived in a real desert environment, the instinct flowing in its blood made it instantly resonate deeply with this land.

Just as fish return to the sea and birds soar in the sky, Bangilas is born to belong to this vast and boundless sea of ​​sand and Gobi.

After all, the nickname "Desert Tyrant" wasn't given for nothing.

Seeing how happy Bangilas was in his new environment, Xia Chi couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, prison guard, you can settle down here now!"

Xia Chi shouted to the huge figure jumping excitedly on the sand dunes, "I'll come pick you up in a few days when I go to Parthia!"

Bangiras stopped what he was doing, turned around, and let out a short, powerful roar in Xia Chi's direction: "Gahoo!"

【knew! 】

It then turned around impatiently and continued its great desert exploration.

Xia Chi wasn't worried about it going hungry. He was joking; it would be strange if a desert tyrant could starve here.

Leaving the contented prisoner in its new territory, Xia Chi once again flew back to the lush residential area aboard Latias.

Only Yui and the dutiful Meowha were still waiting in the same spot, while the other Pokémon were obviously having a great time in their new home.

Xia Chi didn't disturb them. Accompanied by Yui, she led Miaoha and Latias, who had transformed back into human form, toward the tranquil lake in the center of the island.

He planned to settle the Slowpokes and Light Cod that Mikkuri had given him there.

The wooden boardwalk leading to the lake has already been laid and winds through the lush trees.

Along the way, the wild spirits inhabiting the island did not panic and flee like ordinary wild spirits when they saw Xia Chi and Yui. Instead, most of them stayed where they were and watched them with curious or calm eyes.

That makes sense, considering the design team has been working on the island for over half a year.

These wild elves must have become accustomed to the presence of humans.

At the beginning of construction, he specifically instructed Gerald's team to respect the island's indigenous people and coexist peacefully with the wild elves.

If all else fails, bribe them with things like Power Cubes and Boofen.

Ultimately, the most fundamental need of wild Pokémon is survival resources.

There are no conditions that cannot be agreed upon; it's just that the offer isn't enough.

After all, there's an old saying that goes—

Orcs will never be slaves unless they are provided with food and lodging.

Yui clearly knows this well, and has even become acquainted with many of the little ones.

Several bold electric flying squirrels and savage squirrels will deliberately jump onto the boardwalk to "stole" the toll, looking just like they're skilled at collecting tolls.

Yui smiled and took out special energy cubes from her small pocket, feeding them to the animals like candy.

------

We chatted idly along the way, enjoying the autumn scenery of the island, and soon arrived at the small lake that was like a sapphire set in the center of the island.

The warm afternoon sun shines on the lake, creating shimmering golden waves. The surrounding trees are reflected in the water, creating a beautiful and tranquil scene.

Because of its relatively small size, the lakeside cabin complex was built more quickly.

Yui pointed to the most exquisitely designed, warm yellow cottage in the middle with a spacious lakeside terrace and said, "Look, I've already prepared your lake-view room. You can move in anytime. I'll stay in the one next door for now and keep an eye on this place for you."

Xia Chi raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised: "So fast?"

I didn't expect the day of arrival on the island to come earlier than planned; it was a pleasant surprise.

Pushing open the door of the cottage, a warm and cozy atmosphere greets you.

The interior is decorated in a relaxing warm yellow tone, with the solid wood furniture having a warm texture. It is paired with comfortable fabrics and just the right amount of green plants, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Yui stood to the side with her hands on her hips, a look on her face that said, "Praise me!" She said, "How about it? From the layout to the soft furnishings, I oversaw everything from start to finish. Isn't it incredibly tasteful?"

Xia Chi looked around, nodded sincerely, and smiled, "It's wonderful, cozy and comfortable. As for the reward..."

A mischievous smile crept across his face: "From now on, you'll be in charge of decorating the new houses in the new area!"

Yui's beautiful eyes widened instantly: "Huh? What kind of reward is this?! You're exploiting our labor!"

She protested angrily, but a hint of a smile lingered in her eyes.

After the laughter subsided, Xia Chi led Miao Ha to the most distinctive feature of the small house: its large lakeside balcony.

The wooden platform extends to the water's surface, and sitting on the edge, you can dip your feet into the cool lake water.

Feeling the cool flow of the lake water, Xia Chi leisurely swung her legs, then suddenly thought of a practical problem—

What if the lake rises and floods the house during a heavy rain?

Upon further reflection, a number of thoughts popped into my mind.

Let the well mask-shaped Ponpo, whose characteristic is [Water Storage], suck up...
Alternatively, the powerful Latias could use his telekinesis to create a "waterproof barrier".
If all else fails, we can call over our good brother Groudon to raise the lake shore a bit more.
In any case, it is the Pokémon world with extraordinary powers, and there are always more solutions than problems.

While admiring the beautiful scenery and lost in thought, the cat beside me suddenly tensed up.

Its ears perked up alertly, and its crimson eyes locked onto a certain spot on the lake's surface.

Is there something wrong?
Xia Chi immediately focused his mind, and the invisible wave power spread out like ripples in the direction that Miao Ha was wary of.

The next instant, an exceptionally powerful and vibrant life energy clearly returned.

A serpentine silhouette, imbued with pure dragon-attribute energy.
Xia Chi's heart stirred.

Could it be...Hakuron?
This thought instantly reminded him of the Dragonite Mega Stone lying quietly in the item storage.

He gently patted Miaoha's tense back and reassured her, "Relax, Miaoha, it means no harm."

It wasn't that he was "lustful at first sight," but rather that his waveguide perception genuinely failed to detect even the slightest bit of hostility from the other party.

It's like how Siam has a very high probability of producing a luxury cat.

It is also rare for individuals with particularly bad personalities to appear in the Hakron genus.

Legend has it that the Hakron tribe is gentle in nature and often rescues those in distress at sea during stormy seas.

One romantic interpretation suggests that it was this strong desire to help others that allowed Dragonair to eventually evolve into the powerful and kind Dragonite.

After calming Miaoha down, Xia Chi raised her voice and called out towards the elegant figure faintly visible in the shimmering water, "Come out, Hakron. Is there something you need that you've been waiting for me here?"

This is the only possible explanation.

Surely it couldn't be that the innate succubus body exerted its power, attracting the unfamiliar Hakulong to come begging to be subdued, could it?
Not long after Xia Chi finished speaking, ripples appeared on the calm lake surface.

A slender elf, covered in sapphire-like scales, gracefully emerged from the water.

Its tiny white wings fluttered slightly on its head, and the blue beads on its forehead shimmered in the sunlight.

It was Hakron.
