Not a trainer this time

After hanging up the phone, Zhi Shu immediately rushed to Zhiqin Town.

When he arrived there, Xiaomei was sorting food in the store. When she saw Zhi Shu coming, she immediately took Zhi Shu to the location of the tropical dragon.

"The tropical dragon is currently living in a ranch, but it seems to be in a very depressed mood because it lost its companions."

As Xiaomei walked, she introduced the situation of this tropical dragon in front.

Hearing this, Naoki nodded to express his understanding.

Most Pokémon such as Tropical Dragons live in tropical jungles, especially in the Alola region where Tropical Dragons are extremely abundant.

But in other areas, some tropical dragons still live.

The ecological habits of these tropical dragons are quite special.

Perhaps due to the influence of different habitats, in the cold winter, these tropical dragons often form large groups with other tropical dragons and fly to the warm south.

Waiting until the weather warms up before coming back, which is a bit similar to swallows.

The two of them walked forward, and after passing through a withered yellow grassland, Zhi Shu finally saw the tropical dragon by a small lake.

In reality, the tropical dragon is very large, more than two meters tall, and its whole body is brown-gray, very similar to the coconut trees growing on the seaside.

It has a long neck, extremely thick limbs, and three green leaves growing on its head. At first glance, it looks like a tree wrapped in leaves.

Tropical Dragon also has four huge leaves on its back, which are its wings. Tropical Dragon can fly by flapping its wings.

But the most attractive thing is the bunch of banana-like yellow fruits hanging on the chin of the tropical dragon.

"This is a tropical dragon. Has Mr. Naoki seen a tropical dragon before?" Xiaomei asked.

Naoki: "I've only seen it from a distance, never come into contact with it." He had seen tropical dragons there before when he went to Cauldron Lake.

The side of the Cauldron Lake is rich in water, with lush vegetation and fresh air. It is a place that tropical dragons like.

"That's it!" Xiaomei nodded slightly, and then introduced: "Pokémon like Tropical Dragon are also Pokémon that can be raised!"

"It's the fruit hanging around their necks. A tropical dragon will bear fruit twice a year. I once tasted it. It tastes very sweet and delicious."

"I heard that children in the Alola region eat the fruits grown on the necks of tropical dragons as snacks. Because the fruits are so popular, many ranches for breeding tropical dragons have been opened in the Alola region. ”

"However, due to the climate here in Padia, the fruits produced by tropical dragons are far less sweet than those in the Alola region."

Naoki nodded while listening.

He looked at the tropical dragon not far away and couldn't help but sigh: "The tropical dragon is really big!" It was almost as big as an elephant.

Xiaomei hummed, and then said with a smile: "But don't worry, Mr. Naoki! The temperament of tropical dragons is very docile. Even wild tropical dragons will take the initiative to put their necks around their necks when they encounter humans in need of help. Give them the fruit to eat.”

While talking, Xiaomei stepped forward and stroked the tropical dragon's head and said to it:

"Tropical Dragon, don't worry! We have helped you find a trainer who is willing to take care of you, and that is this gentleman."

The depressed tropical dragon followed Xiaomei's gaze and saw Naoki standing aside.

Zhi Shu took the initiative to wave to it: "Hello, Tropical Dragon, I am Zhi Shu. I am currently running a ranch. If you are willing, you can stay at my place this winter!"

It's a pity that Tropical Dragon is not a dragon-type Pokémon, otherwise the power of dragon control would be able to work on it, Naoki thought to himself.

Hearing his words, the tropical dragon raised its long neck and looked this way.

It saw a very kind human being, who was showing a friendly smile to it.

Xiaomei nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Naoki is a very kind person. There are many different Pokémon living in his ranch. If you spend the winter there, you won't feel lonely this winter."

"Oh..." Although Tropical Dragon was still a little depressed, he still nodded.

This means that it is willing to go to the pasture with Naoki to spend the winter.

Because it had no other choice, it had lost the ability to fly due to an injury to its wings, and could only watch other tropical dragons fly to the south, leaving it alone.

Seeing Tropical Dragon agreeing, Naoki smiled and said, "Then let's go back now? The Pokémon in the ranch are all looking forward to your arrival!"

Naoki was not lying to the tropical dragon. Before he came over on a motorcycle lizard, Frost Milk Fairy, Sai Fuhao and Ergui Pun stopped him and asked him what he was going to do.

Naoki introduced them to the tropical dragon.

After hearing that this kind of Pokémon would produce sweet fruits on its neck, several Pokémon all showed expectant expressions, obediently waiting for the arrival of the tropical dragon at home.

Hearing that there was a Pokémon waiting for him to pass by, Tropical Dragon was slightly touched in his heart, and his mood was not as low as it was at the beginning.

I saw the tropical dragon looking up to the sky and letting out a long cry, then flapped its huge wings and flew to Naoki's side.

Seeing Tropical Dragon's behavior, Naoki was slightly surprised and asked in disbelief: "Do you want me to sit on your back and go back?"

"Oh!" Tropical Dragon nodded its huge head.

Seeing this, Naoki did not refuse. He took out the Poke Ball and put the Motorized Lizard back into the ball, and then rode on the back of the Tropical Dragon.

One person and one Pokémon waved goodbye to Mei.

Xiaomei looked very happy: "Live a good life, Tropical Dragon!"

"Oh woo!"

The tropical dragon knew that the human in front of him saved it, and it was full of gratitude to Xiaomei and the old man.

Before leaving, it lowered its neck and gave Xiaomei a few bunches of banana fruits on its neck.

"Yes, he is a kind and polite tropical dragon." Seeing this scene, Naoki nodded in his heart.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that the bunches of bananas picked from the Tropical Dragon's neck had indeed grown back again.

Naoki was immediately stunned.

what happened? Aren’t the fruits on the tropical dragon’s neck ripe twice a year?

But soon, he thought of something and felt enlightened.

The trait of this tropical dragon is Harvest!

Harvest, the hidden characteristic of Tropical Dragon, the effect in the game is that it can produce used tree fruits multiple times, with a 50% chance, and in sunny weather, the chance is 100%.

Xiaomei happily accepted the fruit from Tropical Dragon. When she saw the fruit on Tropical Dragon's neck growing again, she suddenly realized.

"It turns out that your trait is harvest!" Xiaomei said to the tropical dragon, and then she looked at Naoki: "Mr. Naoki, the tropical dragon with the harvest trait can occasionally get a good harvest!"

"They can use the body's energy, water and sunlight to accelerate fruit growth, allowing the picked fruit to grow quickly."

"However, this effect can only take effect once in a short period of time. After it takes effect, there will be a period of time until the energy in the tropical dragon's body is restored before it can be used again."

Hearing these words, Naoki said in his heart that it was true.

The tropical dragon with harvesting characteristics is the perfect combination for ranching!

However, what surprised Naoki even more was that Xiaomei even knew this knowledge.

He remembered that when he first met Xiaomei, Xiaomei was still a shy little girl. Now two years later, Xiaomei has grown up a lot and her personality is much more cheerful.

Naoki praised: "You are so awesome, you even know this knowledge!"

Xiaomei was a little embarrassed: "My grandpa taught me these. I plan to become a Pokémon breeder in the future. My grandpa taught me a lot about Pokémon after hearing about it."

"Are you a Pokémon breeder?" Naoki encouraged, "Come on!"

Xiaomei was very confident: "Yeah!"

After a brief chat, the tropical dragon flapped its wings and flew into the air.

Zhi Shu pointed it in the direction of the pasture, and the next second, Tropical Dragon flew towards there.

Compared with Velociraptor, Tropicosaurus is slower, but its elephant-like back is more stable when sitting up.

Soon, one person and one Pokémon returned to the ranch.

A group of Pokémon were already waiting there in advance.

As soon as Naoki and Tropical Dragon landed, they surrounded them.

Naoki introduced them: "This is Tropical Dragon, Tropical Dragon, these Pokémon are the Pokémon I just told you!"

Hearing this, Tropical Dragon looked curiously at this group of Pokémon that were of a different race than it.

Pokémon such as Frostnake, Ecuador, Babu, and Saifuha all expressed their welcome to Tropical Dragon.

Perhaps feeling the enthusiasm coming from them, the Tropical Dragon couldn't help but be infected.

It narrowed its eyes happily and responded: "Oh~!"

The next step is to help the tropical dragon find a place to live in the ranch.

The temperature is getting colder and colder now, and the tropical dragon with grass attribute + flying attribute is four times weaker than ice, and is as afraid of the cold as the motorcycle lizard.

It is for this reason that they undergo large-scale migration before winter arrives.

The pasture in winter is not suitable for it to live. Thinking of this, Zhi Shu had the answer in his heart.

He rode the tropical dragon into the reverse world through the lake in the pasture, and took it all the way to the empty island where the World Tree is located.

Naoki previously cultivated many sunflowers here that can emit heat. Grass-type Pokémon can freely perform photosynthesis here to replenish energy.

For tropical dragons, this place is the most suitable place to spend the winter.

The current World Tree is already very large in scale. The visual height is far more than one hundred meters. Even a tropical dragon of more than two meters is very small in front of it.

Fortunately, the space in the reverse world is infinite, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to fit it in.

Seeing such a big tree, Tropical Dragon had a surprised expression on his face.

"Oh woo!"

"This is the World Tree."

As he spoke, Naoki looked at the mount goats entrenched under the tree, as well as Oliva, who had grown huge due to absorbing a large amount of natural energy.

He walked up and touched the heads of these Pokémon, and then introduced: "This is the tropical dragon. If nothing else happens, it will live with us from now on."

The three mountain goats were already very laid-back and docile, and they happily welcomed the arrival of the tropical dragon.

Oliva stands on the empty island, and at first glance it looks like a big tree covered with olives.

It opened its eyes and looked at the tropical dragon, and then expressed its gentle welcome.

Tropical Dragon also noticed these magical Pokémon.

It looked at the goats and sensed the extremely rich grass-attributed energy in them, with a surprised expression on its face.

There are also Pokémon such as mount lambs and mount goats over at Cauldron Lake, but Tropical Dragon has never felt this kind of atmosphere in them.

Okay, so awesome!

Naoki told the mount goat and Oliva to take good care of this new companion, and then planned to turn around and return to the pasture.

Because it was getting dark, he was going to prepare dinner for the Pokémon.

But before leaving, Giratina, who was sleeping on the island next door, called him in a faint tone.

Giratina: "You are really becoming more and more casual."

How bold!

This is its territory, can you come and leave as you please? ! Giratina thought grumpily.

"..."

Only then did Naoki remember that the reverse world had a narrow-minded dragon.

He said: "Aren't you lonely living here as a dragon? You should also make more friends."

If he was so irritable, how could he hand over Rotom's cell phone to Giratina in the future? The Rotom in that cell phone would definitely be frightened by Giratina.

Giratina didn't admit that he was actually a little lonely, so he chose to cover up his true inner thoughts with violent yelling:

"Who is lonely?! I have been here like this for tens of thousands of years! I am not lonely!"

Giratina snorted coldly and said in a cold tone: "Hmph, human, I see you are becoming more and more wanton recently!"

Even so, Giratina felt that Naoki was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, and there was something about him that made it feel somewhat friendly.

Naoki was a little unsure of Giratina's temper. In order to appease Giratina's irritable mood, he thought for a while and then floated to the Flower Sky Island.

Then, Naoki stretched out his hand towards Giratina under Giratina's glare.

The power of dragon control, activate!

The next second, Giratina's eyes widened.

"Bold human! What have you done?!"

It felt a warm energy pouring into its body...

At this moment, Giratina felt that his body began to feel warm, and an unprecedented feeling came to his heart.

Naoki chose to ruffle his hair: "I'm thanking you. This is my newly awakened ability. It's very effective on dragon-type Pokémon. You are also a dragon-type Pokémon."

Saying that, Naoki made a complete set of horse and chicken killing for Giratina.

After it was over, Giratina seemed drunk.

"Let's go. Since you are so sensible, I won't argue with you about today's matter."

Sure enough... the power of dragon control also has an effect on legendary Pokémon! Naoki thought.

However, it seems to have little effect so far.

But Naoki will not think about using the power of dragon control to help Giratina become stronger, because for the powerful Giratina, the current power of dragon control cannot do that kind of thing, which is a drop in the bucket. .

It would be great if he could use the power of dragon control to win Giratina's favor.

After thinking for a while, Naoki said goodbye to Giratina.

*

The snow in Alliance Calendar 199 came earlier than last year.

Early the next morning, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Fortunately, Naoki had already prepared the Pokémon in the pasture in advance.

Three Bees and Bad Butterfly moved to the glass flower house, and rode the goats and Oliva to the foot of the World Tree.

The Big Milk Tanks returned to the warm Pokémon house, and the Salt Giants also lived in the underground caves.

The Braided Sheep were placed in the Pokémon cabin of the Big Milk Pots by Naoki, and Kirby was moved into the living room by Naoki.

There is no need to work on a snowy day, so Naoki rarely stays at home with his Pokémon.

It's snowing heavily outside.

The lava worms in the room continuously conveyed heat to the outside, and the Babu woodcock floated in the vents and handed fruit to the lava worms inside.

Several Eevee's were chasing each other and playing around in the room. The Frost Milk Fairy and the other Eevee's were chatting on Kirby's belly. There were also two Eevee's who had never seen snow. She pressed her little face against the window and looked at the snow outside.

Motorized Lizard and Gullerton were lying in front of the fireplace, with the two carefree brothers and sisters standing by. King Lei Guan was sitting on the sofa watching TV, with his hair fluttering around in the room on the second floor.

Ergui and Sai Fuhao share the mask it used to wear on the second floor.

Green Onion Duck was resting with Green Onion on the side, while Kuailong returned to the Poké Ball and fell asleep. Those Kuailongs who worked there were also given a large bag of Baofen's final prize by Zhi Shu after finishing their work, and returned to Kuailong. Spend the winter on the island.

Naoki was lying on the sofa, playing with the Rotom phone, trying to communicate with the Rotom inside.

And in the midst of the heavy snow, the silhouette of a lightning bird cut across the sky.

On its back were two petite Pokémon.

That's the baby bear and dream of traveling.

Seeing the distance between them and the pasture getting closer and closer, the faces of the two Pokémon were full of anticipation.
