Not a trainer this time

Kuailong has had something troublesome recently.

It fell in love with a Kuailong on the island, but it was also a notoriously stupid Kuailong on the island, and was not as good as other Kuailongs who knew many moves.

Although his companions did not laugh at it, Kuailong still felt sad about it.

So that every night, it can't sleep peacefully.

Kuailong looked up at the moon hanging in the sky, preparing to follow the direction of the moon and find a place where no one would disturb him to be alone.

It kept flying along the sea, and finally flew to a large piece of land. It found a high cliff and sat there to look at the moon.

The moon in the sky is crooked, as incomplete as its dragon birth.

Looking at the moon, Kuailong felt very sad.

One day, two days, three days... gradually, a year passed.

Time did not change anything, but instead intensified Kuailong's sorrow.

When it returned to Kuailong Island and saw those companions becoming more and more powerful, Kuailong became depressed.

It no longer has the desire to pursue love, and stays on Kuailong Island depressed all day long, living a dull and boring life.

But even so, Kuailong will still leave Kuailong Island every night and go to the cliff to watch the moon.

Day after day, year after year, Kuailong never stops.

Even it doesn't know why it does this.

But Kuailong had a vague feeling in his heart that he must go there!

Cauldron Lake side.

The mount lamb and its two companions were leisurely eating grass and basking in the sun as usual.

But for some reason, Mount Lamb always felt that the grass in his mouth no longer had the usual taste.

The mount lamb raised his head and looked around. The sky was still so blue, the lake was still so clear, and the sun was still so bright.

Maybe... it's an illusion, right?

Mount Lamb put that thought aside and began to think about a problem.

——Where should I find fresh and plump grass to eat today?

The grass in this place has been eaten by them. Next, let’s go to places farther away to take a look!

The mounted lamb set his sights on the other side of the Cauldron Lake, where there was a patch of lush and fat grass growing, as well as several fruit trees.

There are many fruits on the fruit trees, which look delicious at first sight!

"Hey!" The mount lamb made a decision, it wanted to go there and have a look!

*

"Hey, Naoki, you've been a little out of shape at work lately! You'll be in trouble if your boss finds out, so be careful!"

In the office, the colleague at the next table looked at Naoki who was in a daze at the table and reminded him in a low voice.

Naoki came back to his senses and said, "Oh!"

The man couldn't help but be curious when he saw his look: "What's wrong? Are you staying up late playing games again?"

Naoki was lost in thought, and he suddenly asked: "Do you think our current life is real?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened: "You are stupid! What does life mean now? Isn't this how everyone has always lived?"

Naoki: "..."

He thought: "I always feel like I am dreaming now, but at night I will dream of another world, where I became a rancher, raised a large group of Pokémon, and was there with them. Living.”

Man: "..." Baopi started to dream again.

"It's not night yet." The man was speechless.

Naoki doesn't think so.

Was that really a dream? But why did he remember every detail of the dream clearly?

There was no overtime work today. After get off work, Naoki returned to the rental house, turned on the switch, and looked at Gu Ledun on it in a daze.

When he went to bed at night, Naoki had that dream again.

Everything in the dream was so real. He clearly knew the name and living habits of each Pokémon, as well as what they liked.

The next morning, when Naoki woke up again, the familiar feeling in his mind became even stronger.

He once really lived with those Pokémon!

And the moment this idea came up, everything around him changed instantly.

Those high-rise buildings disappeared like dreamy bubbles, and a familiar thick fog appeared in front of Naoki's eyes.

*

Arceus stared at the scene blankly.

Unexpectedly, the relationship between them was so deep that they would still remember each other even if their memories were sealed.

How much does this Naoki like Pokémon?

At this moment, Kapu·Fin suddenly let out an exclamation again.

"Finfin!"

Arceus followed its gaze and saw new changes taking place in the illusions of several other Pokémon.

*

No! It shouldn't be like this!

Looking at the trainer in front of him, Guluton was extremely frightened. Its trainer was not this human being!

Thinking of this, Luton stepped back repeatedly.

In the astonished expressions of Mayor Thomas and others, Guluton turned around and ran away into the distance.

It ran aimlessly on the road, trying to find the person who was very important to it.

The sun rises and sets, and the snow in the sky falls and melts.

Over the past year, Gu Luton went to many places, trying to find that person, but he still found nothing.

It can't find the person.

Gu Luton looked desperately at the setting sun on the horizon, and let out a long howl full of sadness.

It was like a dog that couldn't find the direction of home, with its tail between its legs, walking in the sunset in a daze.

The next year, Gulden returned to the town of Zheqin.

It did not return to Mayor Thomas's house, but went to the ranch that appeared in his dream.

The originally deserted ranch has now become a luxurious manor.

Gulden did not disturb the humans living there, but stayed here day after day, waiting for the man to come back.

Time passed slowly, Gulden gradually grew old, and on a rainy day, it closed its eyes forever.

In the Padiya region, Glass Bottle City, a well-known Pokémon Research Institute.

Since being sent here by the kind human girl last time, Bub has become like other Pokémon in the institute, waiting for the doctor to feed him every day, or looking forward to meeting a good trainer.

Gradually, several other Pokémon in the institute that were more familiar with Bub were taken by those new trainers who were over ten years old and became their initial Pokémon.

The doctor of the institute originally wanted to give this little Bud to the new trainers as their starting Pokémon to travel with them.

However, according to his investigation, Bud had suffered too much physical damage and poor talent due to the previous experience. It even took several minutes to release a weak electric current.

This kind of thing is undoubtedly fatal to an electric Pokémon, and for this reason, no one is willing to choose it.

Bud also wants to become stronger. It often recalls the life in the deserted ranch. At that time, it often climbed to the roof to watch the bird Pokémon flying over its head.

Bud also wants to fly into the sky like those bird Pokémon, but there is no way.

No trainer is willing to choose it, so Bud can only live in this ecological park.

In a blink of an eye, decades have passed.

The old Bud died in depression in this ecological park where he lived all his life, and he never saw his parents again.

Dragonite will go to that cliff every day for the rest of his life.

Dragon-attributed Pokémon have a very long lifespan, so much so that in the end, even Dragonite himself forgot why it came to this place.

During the long years, Dragonite met many humans.

Those humans wanted to subdue it, and there were some very powerful trainers among them.

Dragonite did not want to be subdued by them, but those human Pokémon were very powerful. After knocking it down, they subdued it with a Poké Ball.

But when Dragonite woke up, it left and ran away with great resistance.

Even Dragonite himself did not know why he did this.

The trainer chased after it, and after learning that it did not want to be a human Pokémon, he took out the Poké Ball and released it.

The rumors of Dragonite in Daguo Lake attracted more and more humans.

But Dragonite remained unmoved. It was immersed in its own world, and came here every day following the footsteps of the moon.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of years had passed.

Dragonite's life came to an end. With a question that it had never figured out in its life, it closed its eyes forever and fell asleep on the cliff.

*

On the west side of the Cauldron Lake.

In order to find lush green grass and delicious and juicy tree fruits, the mount lamb bravely came here.

However, when it was about to pick a tree fruit from the tree, it was suddenly attacked by a wild Pokémon.

The strength of that wild Pokémon was very strong, and the mount lamb was no match for the opponent at all, so it could only choose to escape in a panic.

It hid in a cave with serious injuries, and eventually lost its life because of the serious injuries and failure to receive timely treatment.

*

All the illusions ended, and Arceus fell into silence for a rare time, just staring at the figures in the mist.

Is this the bond between humans and Pokémon?

At this moment, Arceus clearly saw the power called "bond" flowing through that human and those Pokémon.

The life of the lamb is too short. If it hadn't met that human, it would have ended its life very early.

Arceus was not surprised, because such things often happen in the wild.

What surprised him the most were the other three Pokémon of that human.

Even though its memory was sealed, the Dragonite still followed its instinct and went to the cliff every day to wait. Maybe even it didn't know what it was waiting for?

And the Babu Tubo, the timid Bubu, has grown into a brave and reliable Pokémon after meeting that human?

The encounter between humans and Pokémon is really amazing.

Of course, the Pokémon named Gulton that surprised Arceus the most was.

No, to be precise, it should be called Motor Lizard.

Arceus could see that its feelings for Naoki were the deepest, so deep that it had become an obsession, so that even if its memory was sealed, it could still remember everything.

Is it the instinct of the body?

Their emotions have transcended all time and space.

When hearing the Pokémon's cry because it couldn't find the human, even as a god, it couldn't help but be moved.

Not to mention Tapu Finfin next to him.

At this moment, the guardian of Poni Island was crying.

"Finfin..."

It's great that they can meet!

Thinking of what the Creator God said before, Tapu Fin-Fin couldn't help asking: "Fin-Fin?" (God, have they passed the test?)

Arzeus came back to his senses and nodded gently: "Yes, they have passed my test."

"Fin-Fin!" Great!

Hearing Arceus' words, Tapu Fin-Fin cheered.

Arceus quietly looked at Naoki and several Pokémon who slowly opened their eyes in the mist.

He thought: In this case, he can safely hand over the task to him.

However, the right time has not come yet.

After a little thought, Arceus' mind moved slightly, and then several shining Z-pure crystals slowly landed in front of Tapu Fin-Fin.

Tapu Fin-Fin was slightly startled, and looked over in confusion: "Fin-Fin?!"

"They need these things." Arceus said: "You will give them to them for me."

Tapu Fin-Fin was slightly startled, and then asked: "Fin-Fin?" (Don't you see them?)

Arzeus shook his head gently: "It's not the time yet. I'm about to leave, and this place will be returned to you. In addition, please don't tell them about my existence."

"Fin-Fin..."

Tapu Fin-Fin was stunned, then nodded and agreed.

Arceus glanced at it, and then disappeared in a burst of sacred light.

The mist shrouding the ruins of the other side gradually dissipated.

Naoki rubbed his head and opened his eyes, realizing the current situation, and quickly turned around to look around.

When he saw the figures of Gulden and others not far away, he was relieved.

It was indeed an illusion created by the mist!

At this time, Gulden, Dragonite, Babu Tubo and the mount goat also woke up.

When they saw Naoki not far away, their eyes suddenly turned red.

Big tears flowed in their eyes, and several Pokémon rushed over with fear and grievance, surrounding Naoki.

Dragonite whined, tears filled its big eyes, and stretched out its claws to hug Naoki.

"Woo..."

It waited for Naoki for a long time, but Naoki didn't go to find it, and Dragonite felt very aggrieved.

However, before it could hold it for a while longer, the usually fierce Gulden also showed a pitiful expression at this time, and snatched Naoki from its arms.

Gulden hung its head, like a poor big dog, and fearfully arched its head into Naoki's arms.

"Ah, gah..." Gulden's muffled voice came.

Babu Tubo and the mount goat also had tears on their faces at this moment.

"Bamo..."

Gulton occupied Naoki's belly, and Babutubob threw himself into Naoki's arms, crying like a child.

Looking at the appearance of several Pokémon, Naoki opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He just hugged them gently and wiped their tears with his hands.

Although he didn't know what Guledon and the others had experienced, it was certain that they had encountered the same thing as him.

Just as Guledon and the others missed him, he missed them too.

After a long time, the emotions of several Pokémon gradually calmed down.

Naoki stood up and looked up at the Pokémon that appeared in front of them at some point.

Tap Fin-Fin looked at the human named Naoki with gentle and loving eyes.

The next second, it stretched out its hand, and several Z-pure crystals emitting a faint light slowly floated from its hand to Naoki.
