Not a trainer this time

Today's plan was disrupted by the sudden arrival of the Kyuubi. Naoki glanced at the time and felt that he would be too late to participate in the fishing competition.

So he first used the video phone to inform Mayor Thomas that he could not attend, and then began to deal with the matter of the Nine Tails.

Nine Tails lifted its four legs and followed in. The nine big golden fluffy tails behind it swayed slightly, looking like a dream and not quite real.

Behind it, Pokémon such as Motorized Lizard, Gulton, Kuailon, and Frost Milk Fairy also gathered around, looking at this mysterious Pokémon curiously.

"What do I need to do?" Kyuubi asked.

According to its understanding, you need to pay to go to such human-run restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and the like.

money……

It doesn't seem to be.

This made Kyuubi feel a little embarrassed, and it began to think about how to get money.

Naoki recognized the meaning of the Kyuubi.

According to his original plan, the tavern would not charge a fee.

Of course, if Pokémon Dream pays, he will gladly accept it, whether it is a tree fruit, an ordinary stone, or a flower.

Judging from the illusion that this Nine-Tails just displayed, it must be very powerful.

Since it can telepathize, he doesn't need to eat translation melon seeds.

Naoki thought for a while and said thoughtfully: "No, you just need to wait for a while."

Kyuubi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Hearing this, Naoki didn't say much, but turned around and started counting the ingredients in the refrigerator.

The steps to make that dessert are a bit complicated, and you need to use ingredients such as cream, cake, and tree fruits from Frosty Milk Fairy.

Fortunately, he hasn't made many cakes during this time, and there are plenty of ingredients in the refrigerator.

Putting the things he needed on the kitchen table, Naoki looked back and saw Kyuubi squatting on the ground waiting.

Looking at this scene, Naoki couldn't help but think in his heart: "It's quite in line with the business style of the tavern."

He began to picture the tavern when it was open.

The kitchen table turned into a bar, and the wooden floor at the entrance was covered with a red carpet. There was a blazing fire in the fireplace, and the room was warm. Several wild Pokémon were drinking and playing in the tavern.

And he turned into a bartender wearing a suit, vest and white shirt, wiping the glass while looking at the lively scene in front of him.

This is a typical medieval tavern style, but it is replaced with a Pokémon version, which doesn’t make people feel inconsistent.

Realizing that he still had something serious to do, Naoki gathered his mind and began to make the dish seriously.

Time passed by minute by second, and Kyuubi squatted there waiting patiently.

It looked at the humans busy there, and the image of the baby bear and Meng Meng finding it not long ago came to mind.

They called themselves the Hero Expedition Team, said they were traveling around the world, and asked why it was sad.

After learning the reason, the two Pokémon showed sad expressions, but they were helpless about this matter and could only turn around and leave sadly.

Kyuubi watched their figures disappear. It was planning to fall asleep, but unexpectedly, a few days later, the two Pokémon suddenly returned.

They excitedly said that there was a magical Pokémon tavern in a distant place on the other side of the sea.

The best human in the world lives there. He has magical abilities and can help Pokémon fulfill all kinds of wishes.

Kyuubi still remembers the expression of the baby bear when he said these words.

It said very excitedly: "Naoki can help you! Go find him!"

So, here it comes.

In order to see the face of his former friend again and hear her voice, Kyuubi, who could not cross the sea, crossed the mountains and lakes, arrived at the other end of the sea, and arrived at this magical tavern.

Naoki called the Cream Fairy to make fresh caramel cream, and then spread it evenly on the cake base.

Following his movements, a cream cake exuding a sweet smell gradually took shape.

When it was first made, the kitchen utensils at home were not complete, so the cakes made looked very crude.

Nowadays, both materials and kitchen utensils are readily available, which also makes the appearance of cakes even better.

The last step is to cut the fruit into pieces and decorate it on top of the cake.

"alright!"

Naoki looked down, and the information about this new cream cake immediately appeared in his mind.

[Cream Fruit Cake (Caramel Flavor) (B): This fruit cake is made with hand-whipped cream by the Cream Fairy. The delicious cream and beautiful appearance make it more attractive.

Cooking effect: Sweet Dream lv2, after being given to Pokémon, it can temporarily forget worries and sorrows, have a sweet dream, see the people and things you want to see in the dream, and be blessed by the Dream God.

Rating: A dessert that brings happiness to humans and Pokémon. ]

"Sure enough, with the use of higher-end ingredients, the level of cooking has been improved accordingly." Naoki thought to himself.

He remembered that the grade of this thing seemed to be D- last time?

Moreover, the cooking effect has also been upgraded from lv1 to lv2, and there is an additional word "blessed by the dream god" on the description.

God of Dreams... A beautiful figure like a fairy appeared in Naoki's mind, as if she was wearing a pink gauze.

That was Cresselia, the goddess of dreams, the incarnation of the crescent moon, and the counterpart to Darkrai.

There is a legend circulating in the city - it is said that if you sleep with Cresselia's feathers, you can avoid nightmares and have sweet dreams.

Just looking at the description, Naoki didn't know what the sweet dream at level 2 had more effects than the one at level 1.

After thinking briefly, he cut out a small piece of the cake and placed it in front of Kyuubi.

Smelling the aroma coming from the cake, Kyuubi was slightly startled, with a doubtful look in his bright red eyes.

"Try it?" Naoki asked.

Kyuubi had no appetite and didn't want to eat: "I just want to see her."

Naoki: "You can see her after eating this." Although it is in the form of a dream.

Hearing this, Kyuubi didn't speak again.

It lowered its head in confusion, opened its mouth and ate the cake in front of it perfunctorily with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

"Get some sleep!" Naoki was a little regretful that the cake didn't have the effect of making people sleepy, and it would have to wait until the Pokémon falls asleep naturally before it can take effect.

Kyuubi was stunned for a moment.

It suddenly thought of the question this human asked it before.

"Just want to see her? In any way?"

At this moment, Kyuubi suddenly realized what that method was.

Sure enough, what the other party said next confirmed his suspicion.

"This cake can make you have a dream and see the person you want to see in your dream."

Kyuubi was silent.

Dreaming? This is not a bad idea.

"Just sleep here, don't worry, it's safe here." Naoki said.

"Thank you."

Kyuubi thanked him, then turned around and came outside. Its eyes cast into the distance, and then it ran under the flames to the foot of a tree, where it lay down, closed its eyes, and began to fall asleep.

Kyuubi thought he wouldn't be able to sleep, but listening to the muttering of the Pokémon not far away and feeling the rhythm of the wind, a heavy feeling of sleep came over him unknowingly.

When it opened its eyes again, it was shocked to find that it had arrived at the ancient mansion in its memory, a distant era that was more than 1,500 years ago.

Kyuubi looked around and found that everything here was so familiar, and there was almost no change from the scene in his impression.

Its long-quiet heart suddenly moved, as if a drop of clear water fell on the dusty floor.

There was a faint hint of expectation in Kyuubi's heart.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and a girl wearing kimono and wooden clogs walked towards it with a smile.

"So you came here!" The girl said softly, "Isn't the sun shining on you? Come here and take a rest!"

Then, Liangzi picked it up, walked to a big tree in the yard, sat under the shade and started reading.

Kyuubi didn't care about his inexplicable degeneration into Vulpix. It curled up in the girl's arms, and a long-ago name came to mind.

Ryoko...

How long has it been since you heard this name? Kyuubi can no longer remember clearly.

The afternoon sun was shining all over the ground, and the girl was sitting under a big tree reading a book, with Kyuubi quietly by her side.

Is this a dream?

But why is the scene in this dream so real? It can even smell the surrounding vegetation.

This idea flashed through Kyuubi's mind, but instead of thinking about it, it stood up from the ground and jumped on the girl's body.

The girl seemed to understand what it meant. She smiled and grabbed the two front paws of Nine Tails, put it on her lap, and scratched its nose with her hand:

"Naughty boy! Okay, sleep here!"

Kyuubi didn't want to sleep.

But the girl frowned: "Can't you sleep? This is not possible! We will go to the forest to collect herbs later. If you are not energetic, you will easily miss the herbs growing in the trees!"

Hearing this, Kyuubi immediately closed his eyes.

The girl finally smiled: "That's right! Be good Vulpix!"

But at this moment, she realized something was wrong: "Eh? Why are you crying suddenly?"

"Woo!"

Kyuubi blinked quickly, pretending that he just had sand in his eyes.

"Did you get something in your eyes? Let me blow it for you!" The girl came forward and blew a few times: "Okay, it's gone now, you can sleep peacefully!"

Kyuubi nodded slightly, then closed his eyes, curled up on the girl's lap, and quietly enjoyed the atmosphere.

Even after many years, it will still think of this afternoon, this afternoon that is so warm that it feels comfortable.

In the pasture, Naoki has been observing Kyuubi's situation through the bubble above Kyuubi's head.

He discovered that when Kyuubi cried in his dream, there was also a tear on Kyuubi's cheek in reality.

Several Pokémon also came over, and they also saw Kyuubi's dream.

The motorcycle lizard showed a sad look on his face: "Gah aw..." (So sad...)

Naoki hadn't finished the bowl of melon seeds he had eaten in the morning, so he naturally understood what the Motorized Lizard said.

As a companion who has lived together for a long time, Naoki understands what the Motorized Lizard means even without the need to explain.

"Indeed, but there is nothing we can do about it!" he said.

"Ah gah?" (What do you mean?)

Seeing several Pokémon looking over at the same time, Naoki continued:

"Because the lifespans of different species are different! Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature, and everything in the world will have such a day. It's just a matter of sooner or later."

Kuailong quickly asked: "Ouch?" (Will Naoki die one day?)

After hearing Kuailong's words, the heads of a group of Pokémon drooped.

"Gah..." (I don't want Naoki to die...)

Therefore, Luton looked horrified. Although it came from the future, it was not too far away in the future.

It is impossible to imagine that day...

As far as he knows, human beings are very fragile, and their lives are also very short. Some can only live a few years or decades, and only a small number can live for hundreds of years.

what to do? I’m so scared. What if Naoki is like those short-lived ghosts and dies tomorrow?

Therefore, the more Leden thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and finally he asked directly: "Ah gah?!" (Naoki, how long can you live? It can't be only a dozen years, right?)

Hearing this, Naoki's head was full of black lines: "How can you curse people to death like this?!"

Only then did Luton realize that he had said the wrong thing, and he covered his mouth.

Naoki knew what they were thinking, it was because they were touched by what happened to Kyuubi.

After thinking for a moment, he said with fighting spirit: "Don't be afraid, even for you, I will work hard to live to be two hundred years old!"

Kuailong broke the casserole and asked: "Ouch?" (What about after two hundred years?)

The other Pokémon also wanted to know the answer to this question and looked over eagerly.

Naoki coughed twice and said, "Maybe it will become a Pokémon! I once heard people say that some Pokémon are transformed after human beings die. I wonder if you have ever seen Pokémon like Gengar. Kemeng.”

He remembered that he had watched a Pokémon short animation in his previous life, and one of the episodes was titled "Am I Becoming a Gengar?" 》

The heroine of that episode turned into a Gengar while staying in school, and got rid of the problem of social fear with the help of another Gengar.

Later, sharp-eyed viewers discovered that the Gengar who helped the heroine was probably the heroine's sister.

Because its smile, cell phone pendant, etc. are all subtle hints.

Because of this, some people speculate that Gengar may also be a Pokémon transformed after a human dies.

Although this is just an urban legend with no authenticity, in this world, nothing is surprising.

"So, as long as you still remember me and don't stop thinking about me, then a miracle may happen. If I become Gengar, I will find you no matter where you are."

Naoki smiled and reached out to touch the heads of the Pokémon in front of him one by one: "Don't you fail to recognize me then!"

After all, the fact that he can travel here is a miracle in itself.

Although there was no logic in this statement, the naive Pokémon believed it.

Definitely not! No matter what Naoki looks like, they will recognize it!
