During this period, he has received many people who were brought here by their children or parents to come into contact with the Long-Tailed Monster Hand.

Some people succeed, some people fail.

But no one has ever been like the old man in front of him, who gave up this precious opportunity after succeeding.

“I think I probably need to reiterate that this is a public welfare project.”

The staff member seemed to think that the other party had misunderstood something and explained: "We will not charge you any fees. We will only observe your relationship regularly after you take the Long-Tailed Monster Hand away. In other words, you only need to pay for the food of the Long-Tailed Monster Hand. I don't think it's a big deal..."

"I know..."

The old man who was sitting there rubbing his cane with his palm had a smile on his face.

“That’s not a burden.”

This answer made the staff member become serious, but just when he thought that the old man in front of him noticed the shortcomings of this plan, he saw the other party shaking his head.

"I'm used to being alone, but Longtail is different."

The staff were stunned, and so was the Long-Tailed Monster Hand who was confused as to why he was not accepted.

The old man who gave this answer did not seem to notice the change in atmosphere, and continued, "I can tell that it is a child who likes to be lively and active, so it will definitely be boring to follow me."

"But weren't you very happy with it?"

"..."

"If you're worried that the long-tailed monster arm will get bored, you can take it out for a walk. We've already taught it some important knowledge, such as the rules for crossing the road."

"..."

"When you go out to buy things, the long-tailed monster hand can also help you distinguish the good from the bad."

The long-tailed monster also nodded in agreement, but the old man did not change his mind in the end.

"Excuse me... Could you please not tell this to anyone?"

After saying this, the old man stood up and prepared to leave.

The staff rushed forward to help, and so did the long-tailed monster.

They sent the old man back to his family, and this time the old man said goodbye to Long-Tailed Monster Hand, which made Long-Tailed Monster Hand's face show visible loss.

Machado, who was hiding in the old man's shadow, was also confused.

Under Zekrom's guidance, it found this special department in the observation station, and then saw some things that puzzled it.

Machado could clearly feel the old human's love for the Long-Tailed Monster Hand, and he was filled with regret when he rejected the Long-Tailed Monster Hand.

But if that's the case, shouldn't we accept the long-tailed monster hand?

How strange!

Although everyone wants the Sweet Bamboos to fit into everyone's home, some people refuse the company of Pokémon.

Confused, Machado did not leave the old man's shadow immediately, but followed him all the way to his home.

Then on the way, Machado heard the old man's child complaining that if he succeeded, he would have less to worry about.

But the old man didn't care.

After returning to the familiar environment, he fumbled to take out an old erhu from the house, sat in the yard and played it slowly.

Machado waited patiently, but when it gradually darkened, he could no longer suppress the confusion in his heart.

【“Why did you reject the Long-Tailed Monster Hand?”】

Machado couldn't help but ask this question.

Based on what it had heard before and the fact that the old man's children had not returned after dark, Machado concluded that the old man was alone most of the time.

This would be nothing if it happened to a normal person, but it was different for this elderly human.

Machado also thought that the other party needed the help of Pokémon, and felt that Ho-Oh must also want to see such a scene.

The sudden sound made the old man pause slightly in playing the erhu, but he soon gave up his speculation about the identity of the owner of the voice.

He is already so old, there is nothing he cannot face calmly.

"If even my own children find it troublesome, how can I bother others? So this is the best choice."

This sentence literally sounds like a complaint, but the old man's tone is full of relief.

But Machado didn't understand. In its eyes, since the Long-Tailed Monster Hand also liked this human very much, that was enough.

It emerged from the shadows and touched the erhu in the old man's hand.

Machado was using this method to remind the old man of his existence, but this action caused the other party to misunderstand.

"Do you like this?"

Thinking of the happy expression of the Long-Tailed Monster Hand when he heard the tune he played with leaves, the old man handed the erhu to Machado.

"..."

Machado was stunned, then subconsciously pulled the strings.

The harsh and unpleasant sound made Machado frown, while the old man laughed.

"If you want to play a good piece of music, you need to practice more."

After saying this, the old man stood up and prepared to go back to the house.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you."

Machado was a little surprised.

It felt that this human must have misunderstood what it meant.

It doesn't like such instruments, and it cares about something else.

【“What did you mean by that sentence just now?”】

"Just like when I gave you this thing, it will most likely be thrown away as useless after I die, so why not give it to someone you like? The reason for rejecting the little monkey is the same. I don't have many years left to live, so wouldn't it just add to my sadness if I took it?

Although I don’t really understand them, the kids who live nearby and often come to play with them say that Pokémon are just like normal kids.”

Machado was silent, and when it came to its senses, it found that the old man had gone back into the house.

In the end, Machado chose to take the erhu back to the previous observation station and give it to the Long-Tailed Monster Hand.

But it did not choose to sneak away with the long-tailed monster hand.

And after doing all this, it vaguely realized that Suicune's choice was correct.

It liked the old human, but not his children.

But in a normal Rainbow Trial, the former would not be chosen by the Phoenix King to be bestowed with rainbow feathers.

But looking at it from another perspective, if all humans were the same as that old man, would there be a need to undergo the so-called Rainbow Trial?

Machado thought it was unnecessary, but soon it realized something else.

Such human beings did not exist from the beginning, but gradually appeared due to some influences.

Thinking of this, Machado felt a little regretful.

Zekrom was right, they did not have the same excellent vision as Lord Ho-Oh.

Chapter 364: King Dai Dai: Do you believe in gravity?

The prosthetic Kirlia did not choose to evolve immediately, but this was enough to make all the Pokémon living here happy for it.

Icarus is arguably the happiest Pokémon among them.

For this little maid who has been busy in the observation station, the gratitude and joy in the hearts of these Pokémon when their bodies are restored to health are the best reward.

But it also felt that it was still far behind Jon. At least the things Jon encountered along the way were not something it could solve.

So it has to study harder! Because in the future it may get a job that can help more humans and Pokémon.

Remembering what Jon had said to it before, the little maid encouraged herself in her heart.

It also hopes that it can help Pokémon and humans become true friends.

But then Ai Guanshi ran into trouble again.

If the little maid hadn't met John, she would never have thought that Slowking was planning to forget all this after helping the injured Pokémon recover.

Love Butler doesn't understand why Slow King does this, but he also wants to help Slow King, but...

It has absolutely no idea what to do.

Slowking is so smart that it seems like he doesn't need any help at all.

After taking care of the Pokémon and letting them rest, Ai Butler checked them carefully.

Then it found that King Slowpoke still hadn't come back to rest.

In the past, the little maid wouldn't have needed to care about such things, but this time, she couldn't help but walk towards the place where King Slow was most accustomed to staying.

However, after arriving at the laboratory, Ai Butler discovered that King Dai was standing in the laboratory and fell asleep.

This made Aibutuan hesitate whether to wake up King Slow, but he soon found that he didn't need to hesitate.

With a crunch, the Shellder on Slow King's head took another hard bite.

This scene made the little maid shrink her body subconsciously, thinking that this must be very painful.

King Dai Dai woke up, but he was not surprised to see Butler coming.

What surprised Ai Guanshi was that this time, not only did Slow King not choose to stay in the laboratory overnight, but he also asked it a strange question.

"Has Aibutan ever thought about what will happen when all the rainbow feathers appear?"

The butler blinked in confusion, then shook his head to indicate that he had never thought about it at all.

This answer did not surprise King Dai Dai.

"That's right. After all, the real Rainbow Trial can no longer be carried out."

With his hands behind his back, Slow King nodded in approval.

It also agreed with this conclusion, but was still very curious about why one of the rainbow feathers appeared next to it.

King Slow didn't mind giving the rainbow feather to Jon, but Jon's words "Why do I need this thing?" made King Slow think deeply.

Yeah, why did it give the Rainbow Feather to Jon?

Is it because you are looking forward to what will happen when all the rainbow feathers appear in the hands of humans?

No.

King Slow felt that there must be a deeper reason, but he just forgot it.

Then it remembered a hotly debated question on the human network: what future would the world have if Jon had not appeared.

For the time being, SlowKing had no intention of thinking about the general direction of this problem. It was just thinking about what it would do in that situation.

First, it will continue to study the regeneration of Pokémon's severed limbs, but it will also be the same as it said to Jon before.

After helping these Pokémon, it will choose to forget everything and start over.

Of course, it will definitely continue to carry this rainbow feather, but it will never have the chance to find out where this special feather came from.

Then, after going through this cycle countless times, it will descend into the human world with this rainbow feather.

What about the other two rainbow feathers by then?

Slowking thought that the other Rainbow Feathers would be taken to the human world by the "Anchor" Pokémon.

So was it once an "anchor" Pokémon?

Not right either.

King Slow thought that if that was true, then he would never choose to give up that memory.

Moreover, it was a little too early for Yan Emperor to make his choice.

Judging from the choices made by Raikou and Suicune, if the other world had not been influenced by John, they would not have been able to deliver the Rainbow Feather to humans at this point in time.

That is to say...

Yan Di was sure that it would survive until that time.

King Dai Dai nodded secretly.
