Not a trainer this time

Baby Bear and Dream are back!

When Naoki saw the three Pokémon arriving at the ranch on a snowy day, everyone was very surprised.

He quickly welcomed several Pokémon into the house, patted the snow off their bodies, and brought them hot tea and soft, sweet cookies.

The heating in the house is turned on full.

The three Pokémon of the Hero Expedition sat on the ground. It wasn't until they drank a full cup of hot tea that they felt their bodies frozen by the snow gradually warm up, and they also regained some strength to speak.

The mouths of Baby Bear and Dream were bulging with cookies, like two squirrels eating.

The lightning bird buried its head in the food bowl and enjoyed the hot snack.

After a while, the baby bear burped with satisfaction, and then took out a feather that shone with iridescence from behind.

"One, one, one!" (This is a gift for you, Naoki!)

Since he had eaten the translation melon seed cake in advance, Naoki immediately understood what Baby Bear was saying.

He looked at the feather, and the next second, the information about the feather emerged from his mind.

[Rainbow Feather: A legendary item. It is the feather of the legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh. It is said that when the feather shines with colorful light, it can bring happiness to humans. 】

Naoki: "!!!"

It turned out to be the Phoenix King’s feather!

What did Baby Bear and Dream do? This time, he even brought the Phoenix King’s feathers back?

Naoki looked at Baby Bear and Mengmeng with a shocked face: "Where did this feather come from?"

Baby Bear replied cheerfully: "One!" (We picked it up on the grass!)

Meng Meng on the side nodded happily: "miu~" (This is the feather of the Phoenix King~)

Baby Bear: "One, one, one!" (We have also become friends with Phoenix King, and oh, by the way, there is also Machado!)

With the two Pokémon explaining each other, it took Naoki five minutes to finally figure out what happened.

It turned out that the Hero Expedition suddenly picked up this feather during their trip, and not long after that, a majestic, big dog-like Pokémon appeared in front of them.

The Pokémon named Entei told them to follow the feather's guidance to a place called Yuanzhu City.

And when the heroes expedition team arrived in Yuanzhu City, the humans there asked them to go to Tianqing Mountain to find the Phoenix King.

After several twists and turns, the heroes expedition team finally arrived at Tianqing Mountain.

There, they met a Pokémon who was withdrawn and liked to hide in the shadows.

Mew caught it and learned from the conversation that the name of the shadow Pokémon was Macado, and that it had been here to guide the humans selected by Lord Ho-oh to participate in the test of the Rainbow Hero.

At that time, Marshado told them that nothing like this had ever happened before.

The recipients of feathers given by Lord Ho-oh have always been humans, and there have never been Pokémon.

Hearing this, Mew and Baby Bear immediately shook their heads and said that they were not ordinary Pokémon, they were a heroic expedition team that walked the world and performed chivalrous acts!

And when Marshado finished listening to the story of the Heroes Expedition, he spoke.

It said: "If this is the case, then you can put the rainbow feather on that stone and give it a try!"

Dreamy and Baby Bear did as they were told.

The moment they put the feathers up, a beam of light burst into the sky.

A rainbow bridge appeared from the horizon, and then the Pokémon named Ho-oh appeared.

Hearing this, Naoki was shocked and stunned: "So, you are already the Hero of the Rainbow?!"

The Hero of the Rainbow is the epitome of humanity chosen by King Ho. In the theatrical version, Ash has passed this test and became the Hero of the Rainbow.

Meng Meng and Baby Bear looked at each other, then shook their heads and said: "One, one, one!" (No! The Phoenix King said that the Hero of the Rainbow is a title given to humans!)

"miu~" (Feng Wang also sent the feathers to us after seeing what we did. He said that the feathers can help us~)

Naoki understood and shocked him. He thought all his Pokémon had become Rainbow Heroes.

He calmed down, glanced at the rainbow feather in his hand, and asked, "What about the Phoenix King?"

The two Pokémon shook their heads.

"One." (I don't know, after that, it flew away.)

"miu..." (We invited the Phoenix King to come to the ranch to play with us, but the Phoenix King refused...)

When he said this, Meng Meng's little face looked very disappointed.

Naoki: "..."

Naoki didn't know what to say for a moment.

Good guy, the Hero Expedition has really become a Pokémon gashapon machine. From legendary Pokémon like Ho-Oh to common Pokémon like Green Onion Duck, he can twist them all out.

He is indeed a baby bear blessed with eternal super luck!

Naoki expected that the Phoenix King would not come, but it was a pity. He still wanted to see the Phoenix King standing on the branches of the World Tree.

"Maybe the Phoenix King has its own things to do!" Naoki said.

Meng Meng innocently asked: "Miu?" (Does that mean that after everything is over, the Phoenix King will come over?)

Naoki: "...I don't know about this."

"Miu..." Meng Meng was a little disappointed.

Naoki turned his attention to this feather.

Lightning Bird's feathers were used to make lightning buns, and Lugia's feathers were used to make storm buns.

So the question is, what kind of cuisine can be produced from the feathers of the Phoenix King?

Naoki couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

But before dealing with this feather, he had to ask a few Pokémon for their opinions.

"Can I make feathers into food?"

"One!" (No problem, it was originally our gift to you, Naoki!) Baby Bear said.

His belly was bulging from eating too many cookies, and he was now lying on the wool carpet and stroking his belly.

"Okay, thank you. I like this gift very much." Naoki said with a smile. He turned around to find King Lei Guan and asked him to help him use his super power to change the form of the feather into powder.

King Lei Guan readily agreed.

Three seconds later, the iridescent feather turned into a handful of golden-red powder that looked like flour.

Naoki took a closer look, and the information about the powder emerged from his mind.

[Hou Wang's Feather Powder: A legendary ingredient that contains a lot of sacred power, blessing power, and fire power. After being made into a dish, it may have some magical effects. 】

Seeing this, Zhi Shu secretly said that it was true.

He touched the heads of Baby Bear and Meng Meng with a smile, and then said: "Wait, I will steam the steamed buns for you!"

Naoki turned around and went to the kitchen and started working.

The three Pokémon who had eaten and drank enough looked around happily and greeted the Pokémon in the pasture.

Although there were many Pokémon they didn't know, they quickly became familiar with each other after being introduced to each other.

When Meng Meng and Baby Bear saw the green onion duck that they invited to the pasture, their faces were full of shock.

"One!" (So strong!)

"miu!" (What a big change!)

"Gah!" The green onion duck also looked at them quite happily.

If it weren't for Dream and Baby Bear, it wouldn't be what it is today.

At this moment, Green Onion Duck was extremely grateful that he had met the heroes expedition team, came to the ranch, and met Naoki.

*

Naoki is very familiar with the process of making steamed buns.

Knead the dough, rest it, roll it into steamed buns, and steam it in a pot.

Near noon, the heavy snow outside stopped.

The Pokémon in the room curiously put on the scarves Naoki bought for them and ran outside to play in the snow.

The three Pokémon from the Hero Expedition also went outside.

But their purpose is different from other Pokémon. They are going to see if the World Tree has grown up.

However, as soon as they came outside, Lightning Bird and Mengmeng noticed that the World Tree planted on the grass was missing!

Several Pokémon were startled and quickly went to find Naoki, telling him that the World Tree was missing!

Naoki was steaming the steamed buns. When he heard Mew and the others, he smiled and replied:

"It's not missing. It was too big to be accommodated in the pasture, so I moved it to another place."

Then, Naoki asked his sister to help look after the pot, while he took the three Pokémon across the lake and entered the reverse world.

The next second, Lightning Bird, Meng Meng and Baby Bear saw an extremely tall and thick giant tree in the void.

"Chirp!" The Lightning Bird looked excited. This was simply the perfect home it had dreamed of!

Meng Meng and Baby Bear were also surprised.

At this moment, they finally understood what Naoki meant when he said that the World Tree will grow very big and you can invite all the Pokémon friends you have made to live here.

Naoki came to the tree with three Pokémon.

The excited Lightning Bird began to fly around the World Tree.

Mengmeng also screamed excitedly and flew to the branch.

Naoki stood under the tree holding the baby bear, looking up at the scene.

Judging from Meng Meng's excited look, it should be planning to use its secret power on the World Tree to build a secret base here that belongs exclusively to the Heroes Expedition Team.

Naoki said with a smile: "This is not the limit of World Tree. In the future, it will be more than ten times as tall as it is now."

Giant trees rise from the ground, forming their own ecology inside.

Regarding the World Tree, Naoki had already begun planning the idea of ​​building a World Tree.

With abundant natural energy, World Tree is the most suitable growing place in the world for crops and plants.

It can have its own ecosystem inside.

For example, Oliva provides delicious olive oil, the mount goat produces goat milk, the tropical dragon provides fruits for Pokémon, the salt djinn produces rock salt, the large milk tank produces milk, and the three bees brew sweet sweets. There is the Cream Fairy who produces cream and is good at making desserts.

After the World Tree is fully grown, Naoki plans to help Meng and Baby Bear build an expedition union on it.

The union should include an item shop that sells supplies and healing potions, a canteen where Pokémon eat, orchards that produce fruit, farmlands that provide wheat, Pokémon’s bedrooms, etc.

And the store clerks in these places must also be served by Pokémon. With so many companions, they will not feel lonely.

In this way, even if he is gone in the future, this group of Pokémon can be self-sufficient, operate on their own, and live happily together in the World Tree.

But it seems a little too early to mention these things now.

After all, the World Tree has not grown yet, and its growth progress is not yet halfway.

Leaving the three Pokémon with Yggdrasil, Naoki returned to the ranch alone.

While the steamed buns were not yet cooked, Naoki started building a snowman with the Eevees on the snow.

Time passed by minute by second, and soon, the sister Ai Guanshi, who was watching the steamer, ran out to inform Naoki that the steamed buns were already cooked.

Hearing this, Naoki let the Eevees play here by themselves, while he quickly ran back to the house, went to the kitchen and took out the steamed buns from the pot.

However, the color of the buns this time is very special compared to the previous two times.

It is golden red, and looks very similar to the color on Phoenix King.

This thing is extraordinary at first glance!

Naoki held his breath in concentration, and then looked down.

[Holy Steamed Bun (SS): A legendary dish made from the feather powder of the legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh. It is said that after eating it, you can get the blessing of Ho-Oh.

Cooking effects: 1. Holy ash, after eating it, can instantly restore all physical strength of a dying Pokémon. Healthy Pokémon will have a significant increase in physical strength and endurance after eating it, making them stronger.

2. Holy fire. After a fire-type Pokémon eats it, the flames in its body will transform into sacred fire. After a non-fire Pokémon eats it, the power of fire-type moves used by non-fire Pokémon will be permanently increased by 20%.

3. Divine blessing. After the Pokémon eats it, it will be favored by the Phoenix King, and its luck will be greatly improved. This effect only takes effect on Mew, Baby Bear, and Lightning Bird.

Rating: A unique dish in the world. It is said that those who are favored by the Phoenix King will have eternal happiness. 】

Feeling the information in his mind, Naoki took a deep breath subconsciously.

hiss! It is indeed SS-level cuisine, and the effect is so terrifying!

The first effect, holy ash, is different from the goat milk of life. It is said that the source of the props such as holy ash is the Phoenix King.

It can truly achieve the effect of living and dead human flesh and white bones. After all, Phoenix King really has the ability to resurrect the dead.

According to legends in the Johto region, three Pokémon were burned to death in the Scorch Tower.

At that time, King Ho arrived and used its power to resurrect the three burned Pokémon.

Those three Pokémon were the later Entei, Raikou, and Suicune. After their resurrection, they took the initiative to form the Ho-Oh Guards.

It's just a pity that there is no such effect that Pokémon can trigger in the ranch.

However, unexpectedly, the latter effect of greatly increasing physical strength and endurance has a great effect on some Pokémon in the ranch.

For example, the three brothers Fire Eevee, Ray Eevee and Water Eevee evolved in advance.

Holy steamed buns can just make up for their physical deficiencies caused by early evolution.

True Holy Ash Bibimbap.

Not only that, the second effect can also help Fire Eevee increase the flame in his body, turning it from ordinary flame into sacred fire.

Holy Fire, Ho-oh's exclusive move, whether in the anime or in the game, can only be used by Ho-oh and Entei, one of the members of Ho-oh's guard.

The reason why Emperor Yan can use the sacred fire is obviously because King Phoenix gave it his own power.

All in all, The Only King has a promising future!

Not only that, even if the Pokémon is not a fire-type Pokémon, it can increase the power of fire-type moves after eating it.

The effect is equivalent to a charcoal that does not occupy the item inventory.

What attracted Naoki the most was the third effect.

The divine blessing and the Phoenix King's care greatly increase the Pokémon's luck...

"Artificial Tianen characteristics?" Naoki murmured.

The Hero Expedition is going to be illegal!

The baby bear itself has a strong luck effect, plus the sacred blessing of the Phoenix King to improve the luck, and then combined with its characteristics to pick up.

Naoki was very doubtful that the baby bear could now steal Arceus' origin tablet without any injuries...

Why does it feel like Elu Cat uses the looting knife to steal materials from the black dragon in Monster Hunter? Naoki couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

But the only pity is that this effect only works on the three Pokémon in the Hero Expedition.

If you think about it carefully, after all, this rainbow feather was given to Mew and Baby Bear by King Ho, so it makes sense that its effect is limited to the three Pokémon in the Heroes Expedition.

This wave is a big improvement!
