Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 500 Octonauts, On the Move!

Countless marine Pokémon surrounded Manaphy and Fangyan, including Kingdra, Starmie, Milotic, Deino, Gyarados, Lapras, Slug, and Chlamydoll—a variety of Pokémon that kept everyone on their toes busy.

Manaphy, perched atop the red Gyarados's head, seemed to have anticipated this situation. Bathed in the golden sunlight and the light reflected from the scales of the red Gyarados beneath it, it appeared so dignified and gentle.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the most prestigious Pokémon in the Pokémon world. It's just a pity that it's currently riding a red Gyarados, not a Feraligatr. If it were a Feraligatr, it would probably be even more imposing.

"Are they all here to welcome you?"

Shana looked at the ocean Pokémon around her, her little face full of shock, and asked in a clear voice.

Manaphy nodded. "If nothing unexpected happens, they should be here to welcome me."

"That's amazing!"

Shana said it sincerely, and then her small eyes searched for a certain figure among the countless ocean Pokémon.

I wonder if Ugly Fish is in there too? I wonder if it still remembers me, and if it's still being bullied.

Shana had many unanswered questions in her mind.

Looking at the divine Manaphy, Fang Yan said, "I didn't expect you to choose this time to hatch from your Pokémon egg. I thought it would be a few more days."

Manaphy blinked, and the Supreme Prince's voice rang out: "Your desire to help Megalodon and Megalodon's gratitude inspired me to be summoned from the Pokémon egg."

"You mean you were hatched from a Pokémon egg because we helped Sharpedo?"

Manaphy nodded gently.

"Is Nasana's ability to sense the location of megalodons and their emotions also due to your help?"

Manaphy gently shook her head.

Fang Yan frowned upon seeing this. What did he mean? Was it not its help?

Then Manaphy nodded gently.

???

"What do you mean?"

Unable to bear the dialect, he asked directly.

Manaphy's lips moved, and her voice entered Fang Yan's mind: "She is the darling of the sea. I can feel the blessing of Mother Ocean from her body. It seems that she did something when she was a child and received the blessing of the sea. However, she is unaware of this power. I just used my ability to help her awaken this power in advance."

Who? Shana? The darling of the sea?

Fang Yan's lips twitched, then she glanced at Shana, who was still searching for a certain figure. She had only learned to swim yesterday, so how did she become the darling of the sea?

"This power—is it similar to the power of Eternal Life?"

"I don't know what the Power of Everlasting is."

"How could you not know? I remember they were quite famous."

Manaphy's antennae twitched, somewhat helplessly. "I was just born. In your dialect, according to your human terms, I'm just a little baby who needs to be taken care of."

"Sorry, I forgot. It's just that your identity makes it easy for me to forget that you're a newborn Pokémon, since you were born with the ability to control the ocean."

"!"

"This is an instinct etched in our blood. After we are born, we will search for the deep seabed where I was born, nurture new life for our race there, and then return to the sea where I was truly born, where we will sleep and guard this sea."

"Will it be a long distance?"

"I don't know, I've never been there. Although I survived there briefly when I was just an egg, I was soon taken away by the guardians of the ocean and transported to various seas, where they used the power of the ocean to hatch us."

"We will return to live in the sea where we finally hatch."

"I see—what if there was already a Manaphy in the area?"

Fang Yan asked curiously.

Manaphy chuckled softly, as if thinking of something pleasant, and its voice echoed in Fang Yan's mind.

"Then I am very fortunate that its mission has been completed, and it can now truly travel the oceans of this world and make more friends."

"Did you know there's a Pokémon in the world that looks a lot like your Manaphy?"

He asked in a dialect.

Manaphy looked at Fang Yan with a puzzled expression and shook her little blue head.

"We call them Fiona, and they are said to be descendants of Manaphy and other Pokémon."

He spoke in a low voice, speaking in a dialect.

"Fiona—I can sense that although they don't have the same complete control over the ocean as we do, they still have the ocean's blood in their veins."

Manaphy said, "If that's the case, then it means that many of my people are living the lives they want."

After Manaphy finished speaking, he laughed, seemingly very happy.

Fang Yan pursed her lips. "Looks like you legendary Pokémon don't actually lead such exciting lives after all—"

"This is our duty."

Manaphy didn't seem sad at all. It curiously asked Fangyan, "Fangyan, can you tell me what the Power of Everlasting is?"

"Oh, sure. The Power of Viridian is a blessing bestowed upon certain individuals by the Viridian Forest in the Kanto region. These individuals must possess the purest goodwill towards Pokémon. Humans who possess the Power of Viridian can heal Pokémon, read their thoughts, and even boost their fighting spirit in battles."

"The power of Viridian? Viridian Forest — it sounds like a beautiful and gentle forest."

Manaphy sighed, then said, "Shana's ability is similar to the power of Viridian. Once she fully masters this power, she will never drown as long as she is in an environment filled with water. She can penetrate the hearts of Water-type Pokémon, and no matter where a Water-type Pokémon that has formed a bond with her is, she can sense its location and its feelings, and she can soothe the feelings of all Water-type Pokémon."

"In addition, she has a high affinity with Water-type Pokémon, and when she is in the ocean, she can use the power of the ocean to ask for help from ocean Pokémon."

dialect:"----"

Great supermodel ————

Why did it stop like this? There's this inexplicable feeling...

The Fake Ocean Prince: Manaphy.

The true Queen of the Ocean: Shana.

"As far as I know, her ability is roughly like this, similar to the Tokiwa power you mentioned."

Manaphy's voice echoed in Fang Yan's mind: "Once she fully masters this power, she might be able to develop other effects."

"What's she calling this ability?"

"I have no idea."

"?"

"The power of the ocean?"

"No, I've decided, it'll be called Heart of the Ocean!"

Manaphy: "————"

Then why are you asking me?

Fang Yan stroked his chin. "Now that you mention it, I feel like I'm actually pretty strong too. Little Shana has water affinity, the darling of the ocean, while I have insect affinity, the insect king has returned!"

Shana's abilities were bestowed by the sea, while the insect-type affinity of the dialect was created by the Bee Queen through an unrepeatable miracle.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with nature on her own, this is the queen bee of the nursery!

The invincible queen bee of the world!

"Compare!"

Achoo!

Who? Who's cursing me again? Could it be Fangyan and Gengar coming back?

The queen bee lay on her throne, opened her eyes, and hurriedly sent three bees to the nursery to find out what was going on. Soon the three bees brought back news that Fang Yan and the others had not returned yet.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Bee breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes, and continued sleeping.

Finally, she can rest for a few days. Fang Yan didn't dare to slack off in the breeding house, otherwise, if he caught her slacking off, wouldn't her dignity as a queen be shattered?

How could the Queen be lazy? The Queen is just conserving her energy. If there weren't a huge pile of dessert boxes next to her, she might actually have believed what it said.

The queen bee drifted off to sleep.

"Compare----"

I'm just going to—just—be lazy for a few days, eat my fill and sleep, sleeping and eating is so comfortable!

The queen bee murmured.

"Does every member of your Manaphy tribe have their own underwater palace?"

He asked curiously in his dialect.

Manaphy blinked. "An underwater palace? There should be one, but it's an inherited one."

"Inherited from the previous Manaphy? So they all continue to live in the palaces of the previous ruler?"

Manaphy nodded.

"No wonder Manaphy in the Hoenn region could find its palace as soon as it hatched from its egg."

Fang Yan whispered something, which Manaphy didn't hear clearly. It looked at Fang Yan curiously, and then heard Fang Yan ask it, "Are there underwater palaces in this area too?"

"Yes, but I can sense that Manaphy hasn't been here for a long time. Fangyan, would you like to come with me to the palace?"

Manaphy had already planned to go to the palace, and it would have been even better if its new friend could go with it.

"Oh? Is that alright? I'm afraid something might be missing from your palace, after all, I have one with me—"

Fang Yan didn't finish his sentence, but just glanced at the Gengar floating beside him.

Gengar: ? ! !

What do you mean? You're looking down on my Gengar!

"It's okay, we're friends, aren't we?"

Since Manaphy was hatched through the bond between humans and Pokémon after Fangyan helped Sharpedo and the others, Manaphy already considers Fangyan, the people at the breeding center, and the Pokémon as friends in its heart.

"Then—shall we go take a look? Let's go see where you'll be living in the future."

"it is good."

Manaphy smiled gently, then opened its arms, its tentacles moving with the wind as they slowly floated up from the head of the red Gyarados. It closed its eyes and hummed an ancient melody.

Seeing this, Meloeta landed on Fang Yan's shoulder, swaying her short legs, and closed her eyes to listen carefully to the melody Manaphy was humming.

"Melo~"

No matter how much time has passed, the melody of the ocean will always be so beautiful~

Bictini, holding a sausage, rested her head on Fang Yan's head, munching on the sausage while nodding in agreement.

"Tini~"

Before Fang Yan could reply, he saw himself enveloped in a golden light, and then his entire body involuntarily floated into the air.

Shana, Tomoyo, and his other Pokémon were also enveloped in this light. In the distance, many golden figures flew over. Looking around, Fang Yan saw Mrs. Fujino and the others waiting for him on the beach.

"This is... Manager, what happened?"

Mrs. Fujino discovered that she could fly in the air and asked curiously.

Fang Yan realized that this was Manaphy's ability, which Ash and his friends had used to transform into Super Saiyans and wipe out the pirates.

Fang Yan then comforted some of the somewhat worried Pokémon, "Don't worry, this is Manaphy's power. It's currently preparing to invite us to its underwater palace."

Manaphy smiled and nodded, then landed on the head of the red Gyarados. The red Gyarados plunged into the water, followed closely by the other ocean Pokémon.

Fang Yan noticed that the people and Pokémon around him were watching him. After thinking for a moment, he raised his position, then pulled his right hand back to his chest, stretched his left hand out above his head, clenched it into a fist, and suddenly rushed towards the sea.

Octonauts, launch!

Victini sighed knowingly and conjured a flame cloak behind Fang Yan.

"Tini!"

Attack!

"Goblin!"

I want one too! I want one too!

Victini also made one for Gengar.

Gengar grinned and then plunged into the sea.

The others and the Pokémon exchanged glances and smiled at each other, then, led by Shana, plunged into the sea.

Miss Gothic, Miss Skirt, Roserade, and Nine-Tails shook their heads and gracefully submerged into the sea.

With the help of Manaphy's power, the group and their Pokémon swam freely in the ocean, the golden light separating them from the seawater.

"Wow! Is this the underwater world?"

Shana stared wide-eyed at the colorful underwater world.

Even Tomoyo, who always maintained her elegance, couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

Before I met Shana, I didn't have these conditions at all.

Diving into the sea without equipment —

Miltank, the leader of the Pokémon, stared in astonishment at the countless marine creatures. It stretched out its hoof and gently tapped a Clamshell. The Clamshell snapped shut with a "pop," startling Miltank.

Moo—

This is truly amazing—I never expected that Ben could swim in the sea, no, I mean dive! This really surprised me!

Moo!

A figure swam over from afar—a giant flying fish. Fang Yan recognized it at a glance as the giant flying fish that had snatched Manaphy from the pirates. It seemed that its injuries had almost healed.

The giant flying fish approached Manaphy and whispered a few words. Manaphy nodded gently, and the giant flying fish joined the group.

After swimming for an unknown amount of time, Fang Yan finally saw a palace sitting on the sandy bottom of the sea.

The palace was magnificent and vast, surrounded by a ring of water.

"Without Manaphy's permission, almost no one can find the location of Manaphy's palace, even though it sits right in front of them."

Latias's voice echoed in Fang Yan's mind. Fang Yan nodded to indicate that he understood, then looked at Victini perched above him and said, "Little V, look, everyone else has a palace. Where's yours?"

Bictini, munching on a sausage, replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Tini".

It's in the Unova region, do you want to go check it out? It's not fun at all, it's incredibly boring.

So Bictini had palaces too?

I just asked about dialects casually, and I never expected they actually existed!

"Tini".

Meloye Tower also has one, but it hid its palace in the deep sea.

Fang Yan turned to look at Meloeta, who was standing beside him, and Meloeta returned a sweet smile.

Upon entering the palace, Fang Yan immediately spotted the deep blue crystal in the center of the palace.

Gengar's eyes began to glow with golden light.

"That's a prop used to maintain this palace; it can't be moved."

"Kou Jie"

clear!

Filled with curiosity about the palace, the Gengar and the others all scattered to visit Manaphy's underwater palace.

Fangyan also turned around curiously.

As Fang Yan admired the crystal at the center of the palace, Gengar floated back. Seeing its disappointed expression, Fang Yan chuckled and asked, "How is it? You seem a little disappointed?"

"Kou Jie—"

It feels so oppressive here, our breeding house is much better.

Gengar kept telling Fangyan about its experience of exploring the area.

The oppression Gengar felt was loneliness. Gengar had lived alone in the nursery for a long time, so it hated that feeling.

Fang Yan reached out and tugged at the corner of Gengar's mouth with a smile, "Then we won't go shopping. We'll go back after they're done shopping? I'll cook you something delicious tonight."

"Kou Jie"

Okay~

"口桀"6

Will it really live here by itself?

"Perhaps."

"Kou Jie"

That would be very boring.

"It's okay. Before it comes back to live here, it will follow its memories to go back to its hometown and stay there for a while before coming back here. Besides, this place is not far from our animal shelter, so we can come and play with it often, and we can also give it some small toys to relieve boredom."

Fang Yan kept comforting the big fat ghost, and with Fang Yan's comfort, Gengar quickly returned to its usual cheerful appearance.

"I told you, Gui Gui's smile is the cutest Pokémon in the world, bar none."

Fang Yan tugged at Gengar's little tail, and Gengar instantly deflated, crashing around the palace.

"Take it easy, don't knock the crystal away."

"Kou Jie—"

No way—

Miss Goth and the others soon returned to Fangyan's side.

"Do you guys also find it boring?"

Miss Gothic and the others nodded.

"Laji".

Although this place is luxurious and beautiful, I still prefer our breeding house.

"Goethe".
