Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 44 Land Cloud

The training session lasted until nearly noon before it ended.

When Raven returned to the cabin with his Dratini to prepare for a meal, he was surprised to find that his Snivy was nowhere to be found.

Raven paused, then turned his gaze to the Pokémon beside him and asked:
"Where's the Snivy?"

The foam squirrels pointed outside and answered all at once, "Squirrels!"

"Run away?"

“Chicken!” The foam squirrels nodded repeatedly.

Raven glanced at the snow outside and couldn't help but be surprised.

This Snivy has a rather unique personality!
Despite being a Grass-type Pokémon, it is not afraid of the cold. Even though it would be more comfortable and warmer to stay in the cabin, it still went outside...

Based on this alone, Raven could see what made this Snivy special.

If we can tame it, the special training will definitely go very smoothly!

Lunchtime arrived, and the maids brought out the lunches one after another.

Raven glanced at the menu; today's lunch consisted of soft, fluffy white bread, a fruit salad made with grapefruit, smoked ham, fish balls, and mixed dried fruit.

Fish balls are food for miniature dragons, and mixed dried fruit is a favorite of foam squirrels.

Because Raven had specifically instructed that, in addition to these, there was also fish soup simmered until it turned milky white, and several grilled fish.

"Snivy must also like to eat fish, right?" Raven couldn't help but wonder.

While I was pondering, the Snivy returned from outside.

Raven turned his head and saw it walking in from outside, carrying a bunch of tree fruits in its arms.

Raven was somewhat surprised: "Did you go out to look for these tree fruits?"

"Teng Teng."

The sniper placed the fruit on the carpet, thinking: This wasn't specifically for you.

It just... just felt it should thank this human named Raven for treating its injuries.

Round tree fruits were scattered all over the ground, rolling around on the carpet.

"That's amazing!" Raven praised without reservation.

He got up and went forward to pick up the tree fruits and put them away. "Lunch is ready. This is the fish I told you about catching in the river today. I don't know if it suits your taste. Come and have a taste!"

"Teng Teng..."

Snivy paused for a moment, then stepped forward and sat down at the dining table with everyone.

Raven placed a piece of tender white fish in front of the vine snake.

Snivy tried a bite, and under Raven's expectant gaze, its eyes gradually brightened.

"Fujiteng!"

Seeing this, Raven laughed and said, "In that case, eat more!"

Lunch ended successfully in a pleasant atmosphere.

The maids came over to clear away the tableware, and it started snowing heavily outside again. Seeing this, Raven gave up on going out and instead stayed in the cabin with his Pokémon.

The sniper was indeed exhausted; it had expended a great deal of effort to escape from those snails last night.

With such a tense mind suddenly relaxed, Tengi Snake felt extremely tired.

It stayed in front of the warm fireplace, Raven gradually becoming blurry in its sight, and Snivy soon fell asleep.

Several foam squirrels were perched by the window, watching the heavy snow falling outside. Meanwhile, Dratini was sitting at Raven's desk, looking at the Snivy. Recalling Raven's attitude towards Snivy earlier that day, Dratini felt a strange unease.

Raven used to only act that way towards that one Pokémon...

Raven was unaware of the Dratini's emotional change.

He sat at his desk, carefully flipping through the book Christina had brought back, which documented the local Pokémon ecology, while silently formulating his next plan. "I'll spend some time with Snivy first, and once we've built a closer relationship, perhaps I can suggest making it my Pokémon."

Raven recalled how Snivy had escaped from the five Slugs; clearly, this Snivy was exceptionally powerful.

"Yes, with the addition of Snivy, we can now explore the surrounding area in greater depth."

Three Bees, Pot Pot, Coco Dora...

As for that Articuno on that snowy mountain, Raven couldn't help but think, "If only it could help me guard the territory."

That would make it much easier for them to move around in the area.

However... neither their current strength nor their relationship with Articuno is nearly enough.

The question is, will playing dead on a snowy mountain attract Articuno? Raven pondered this.

Although it is said that arthropods appear in front of lost and dying humans in the snowy mountains and guide them, in the end, it is just a figment of human imagination and speculation.

Raven always felt that Articuno was afraid they would die on the snowy mountain and dirty their territory...

However, when it comes to legendary Pokémon, Raven thought of a few that might be helpful for building up his territory.

For example, the Crowned King, who holds the title of King of Abundance.

He possesses the power to make plants bloom instantly and crops ripen instantly, which is why He is called the King of Abundance by mankind.

But then again.

Did any major events occur in the Galar region during this era?

Has Eterna awakened? Has Rareco-Oh fallen into a deep sleep? Or is He still ruling the Galar region?
Raven had no idea, after all, the Galar region was far too far away from their Unova.

Coincidentally, their home continent of Unova also has a legendary Pokémon that can make the land bountiful.

That is the Earth Cloud, one of the Three Clouds.

Legend has it that the Earth Cloud possesses the power to transform wind and thunder into energy to nourish the soil, making the earth more fertile.

The energy flowing from its tail replenishes the soil with nutrients, allowing crops to grow vigorously. It is said that the land visited by the land cloud will surely have a great harvest.

Earth Cloud is also known as the god of farmland by humankind.

“If I remember correctly, you should be able to encounter the Earth Cloud near the Shrine of Abundance,” Raven recalled.

The problem is that that's in the future; it's uncertain whether the Shrine of Abundance will even be built in this era.

Even if they wanted to find the land cloud, they couldn't.

"Sigh, the task ahead is arduous and the road is long!" Raven couldn't help but sigh.

Currently, they can only rely on their own strength to slowly recover.

The World Tree of Beginning in the Kanto region and Aron, the Rare Crown King in the Galar region...

Raven's thoughts drifted back to those major events that only existed in the ancient world of Pokémon.

Have Groudon and Kyogre awakened in the Hoenn region?

Did Az create the ultimate weapon to revive Flower Leaf?
Raven had even heard a rumor once.

Legend has it that in the distant past, a great war lasting nearly a century took place between the Galar and Carlos regions…

If all of this is true, then the ancient world of Pokémon must have been incredibly chaotic.

Even disregarding other regions, a terrible war is about to break out in their homeland of the United States in the near future.

The instigators of the war were his two older brothers who had taken him for granted.

Later records indicate that the two princes became enemies, which led to a brutal war. The battle was extremely fierce, and both sides were severely injured. The war caused the energy of the dragon veins to become chaotic, the land was destroyed, and the Unova region was on the verge of destruction.

In the end, it was the old king who used the power of Victini to quell the runaway dragon veins, but this also led to the old king's death, and Victini was trapped in the royal city forever.
