Chapter 345: Over the Ocean Swims a Teddiursa?

"Unova's formidable Legendary Pokemon, you say?"

Adeleke was taken aback for a moment at the question, then began to ponder carefully.

"Of course there are!" A smile spread across his face. "The most famous among them is the twin dragon Pokemon embodying truth and ideals."

"Twin dragon... Pokemon?" Naoki asked.

Adeleke nodded. "They are Zekrom of the Electric type and Reshiram of the Fire type."

"Zekrom is a Pokemon from mythology that can generate lightning from its tail, hiding its body within thunderclouds as it soars through the skies of the Unova region. It is said that traveling trainers have witnessed its silhouette in flight."

"As for Reshiram, its tail blazes with flame, and it is said that when Reshiram's tail burns, it generates heat that sets the atmosphere in motion, changing the world's weather."

"In the ancient Unovan mythology, it is told that if humans disregard truth and indulge their desires, Reshiram will burn their kingdoms to ashes."

"Sounds pretty powerful," Naoki remarked.

"Of course," Adeleke chuckled. "They are Pokemon that existed even before the founding of Unova!"

Suddenly, his expression turned somber as if a troubling thought had crossed his mind. "The allure of Legendary Pokemon often attracts those with nefarious intentions, seeking to control the power of legends."

Naoki, who was also thinking about the Three Dragons: "...'

Compared to Guizhang, his intentions were probably not so sinister. However, while Adeleke's words seemed harmless, they actually revealed a lot of information.

For instance, it seemed likely that Reshiram and Zekrom had moved beyond their Dragonite form and, like regular Pokemon, roamed the Unova region from time to time.

Naoki recalled that in the anime, Satoshi had encountered Zekrom as soon as he arrived in the Unova region for his travels.

Back then, Zekrom had used Thunder on Pikachu, causing him to be severely affected and unable to use Electric-type moves thereafter...

Adeleke didn't continue on the topic, as the situation in the Unova region was rather unique.

On the surface, it appeared calm, but underneath, turbulent undercurrents were stirring.

There was a mysterious organization advocating for the "liberation of Pokemon," and several months ago, Adeleke had caught wind of their activities. They used speeches to incite public opinion, criticizing him for overworking Volcarona and causing its injuries to be irreparable due to exhaustion.

This incident had led him to question himself, and it was one of the reasons he had left the Unova League.

However, none of this concerned Naoki, and Adeleke didn't elaborate further. Instead, he changed the subject.

"Oh, right! Just like the Sinnoh region, Unova also has a Fertility Shrine!"

Fertility Shrine? Landorus? Naoki's mind immediately brought up the related information.

Adeleke continued, "But the Pokemon revered in that shrine isn't Reuniclus, but a Pokemon named Landorus."

"In legend, Landorus is said to absorb wind and lightning, converting them into energy to nourish the soil and bring abundance to the land, enriching the earth and promoting the growth of crops."

"It is told that wherever it visits, the harvest is bountiful, and thus this Pokemon is also known as the God of Fertility."

Naoki raised an eyebrow. "Its specialty seems very similar to Reuniclus'."

Adeleke nodded with a smile. "Indeed. While Reuniclus can make crops grow instantly, Landorus replenishes the soil with nutrients. If these two Pokemon were to work together, they could cause crops to grow endlessly!"

Upon hearing this, Naoki wasn't too surprised.

After all, Reuniclus also possessed the ability to make fields fertile, and its capabilities overlapped with those of Landorus.

Moreover, compared to Landorus, he was more concerned about Reshiram and Zekrom.

However, from what Adeleke had just said, it was clear that he didn't know the whereabouts of these two Pokemon either.

The only lead he had to go on was probably Kyurem.

In the game, Kyurem's location was always fixed—the Giant Chasm near Giallo Town.

However, Naoki couldn't be sure about that in this world. It was vast and differed from the game in terms of terrain and city distribution. It was more akin to the anime's portrayal.

Given these circumstances, no one could say for certain if Kyurem would be in the same place.

Naoki decided to make detailed plans once he arrived in the Unova region and see if he could gather some information from others.

If time allowed, he intended to visit Giallo Town and pay a call to this legendary strongest dragon Pokemon.

The Braviary Taxi service was swift, and after a few hours, Naoki and Adeleke arrived at their destination—Castelia City.

They didn't linger in the city but headed straight for the port, where they bought two direct tickets to Humilau City in the Unova region.

As Brewight City gradually faded into the distance, Naoki exhaled a sigh of relief.

Phew, they had made it just in time!

Adeleke looked relaxed as he said, "This cruise will arrive in Humilau City tomorrow. There are plenty of entertainment facilities and delicious food on board, so let's enjoy ourselves before we get there!"

"Okay," Naoki agreed with a smile and nodded.

There were many passengers on the ship, and as Naoki scanned the crowd, he spotted elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen with canes and sophisticated suits.

There were also some young trainers with their Pokemon.

Soon, two trainers caught each other's eye and headed hand-in-hand to the battle area within the ship to engage in a Pokemon battle.

Naoki chuckled and shook his head at the sight.

This was indeed the Pokemon world! Everything could be resolved with a Pokemon battle.

Adeleke found these affairs fascinating, and after mentioning it to Naoki, he rushed off to watch the young trainers' Pokemon battle.

Naoki, however, wasn't particularly interested.

Standing on the deck, he thought about how Frost Fairy and Glaceon might never have seen the ocean in their lives, so he released several Pokemon from their Poke Balls.

With a flash of white light, Frost Fairy, Glaceon, Vibrava, Motostoke, Palossand, Aerodactyl, and Purrloin appeared on the deck.

Just as Naoki had expected, after these Pokemon took in their surroundings, they immediately ran to the railing and exclaimed in awe at the vast ocean beyond.

By now, the cruise ship had left the waters of Brewight City and was fully out at sea.

The sun shone brightly, the sky was a clear blue, and the endless ocean stretched before them, its surface shimmering in the sunlight. Gentle sea breezes blew, and wave after wave of white foam gently lapped against the ship.

In the distance, a few Wingull glided through the sky, their distant cries carrying on the wind.

The Pokemon, who had never seen the ocean before, were completely awestruck by this beautiful sight.

"Mama..." Frost Fairy murmured.

"Bu'yi..." Glaceon added.

Even Vibrava, a Pokemon from ancient times, stared transfixed at the shimmering ocean surface.

Aerodactyl, looking confused, scratched its head with its large claw, not quite understanding what was so fascinating about the ocean.

Golurk, standing nearby, sighed, "Agas..." Not everyone had seen the ocean before.

Aerodactyl's face lit up in understanding.

"This is the ocean," Naoki explained with a smile. "We are now leaving the land and sailing out to sea."

At these words, Purrloin nodded excitedly, "Poni!"

Naoki was surprised, "Have you seen the ocean before, Purrloin?"

As he spoke, he reached into his bag and took out a bag of translated sunflower seeds, a snack that had been matured with the help of Leafeon, and began to eat.

This would be very convenient while traveling.

Purrloin jumped up and down, "Poni poni! I came to the Northwind Islands with my dad by boat, crossing the ocean!"

So, Purrloin had indeed come from another place to the Northwind Islands, Naoki thought.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Purrloin continued happily, "Poni! I also saw a bear with a crescent moon on its forehead swimming across the ocean!"

Hmm? Naoki was intrigued. "A bear? Was it also a Pokemon?"

Purrloin nodded, "Poni! My dad said it was also a Pokemon. Our boat passed by it, and I asked it where it was going. It said that a scary Pokemon had appeared in its homeland, so it was crossing the ocean to go elsewhere." Purrloin's face fell as it recalled this, and it continued worriedly, "Poni... Our boat was too small, or we could have taken it with us. I wonder if that bear made it across the ocean safely..."

Purrloin had been concerned about that Pokemon, but later, when it was in danger itself, it had no time to spare thinking about the other Pokemon.

A bear Pokemon with a crescent moon on its forehead... Could it be Teddiursa? Or perhaps Ursaring? No, Ursaring doesn't have a moon on its body. Then could it be the Johto region's Teddiursa?! Naoki's intuition told him it was unlikely, as Teddiursa was a Normal/Ground-type Pokemon and weak to water, so it couldn't possibly swim across the ocean.

But Purrloin wouldn't lie, and aside from Teddiursa, he couldn't think of any other Pokemon with a moon on its head.

Naoki was perplexed.

No way? A Teddiursa that could swim across the ocean? That's incredible!

Moreover, what caught Naoki's attention was the mention of a scary Pokemon in Teddiursa's homeland.

Could these scary Pokemon be referring to the spacetime rift incident in the Wysteria region?

Naoki and his group of Pokemon turned to see an elegant lady walking towards them, dressed in an expensive bodycon dress and a stylish hat. She was looking at Vibrava with enthusiasm.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be an oversized Hypno, right?"

"His name is Vibrava," Naoki replied. "Is there something the matter?"

"Oh ho ho! Don't be so tense!" The woman smiled lightly. "Little brother, I really like this Pokemon. How about trading your Vibrava for one of my rare Servipers?"

Naoki thought he had misheard. "What?"

The woman took out a Poke Ball, and with a flash of white light, a small snake Pokemon appeared on the deck.

It had a green body, but its abdomen and feet were cream-colored, with a yellow stripe running from its back to its tail.

"Pokemon trade, okay?" The woman asked. "Don't you know? You can use that machine over there to swap Serviper and Vibrava into each other's Poke Balls."

Naoki understood this time and refused without hesitation. "No, thank you."

The woman glanced at the few Pokemon by his side and sighed regretfully. "Well then, if you ever change your mind, be sure to look for me, big sister!"

With that, the woman turned and left.

Vibrava narrowed his eyes, belatedly realizing what the woman had meant.

Vibrava was furious. How dare this human try to trade him away like a berry! He gnashed his teeth, his temper flaring as he prepared to charge over and teach that lady a lesson—a good bite on the head.

Just as Vibrava was about to rush off, Naoki quickly grabbed him. "Stop right there!"

"Grrrrrrr!"

Vibrava bared his tiny fangs in anger.

Naoki: "......"

It took a lot of effort for Naoki to restrain Vibrava. At that moment, Adeleke returned, seeing the scene before him and asking in surprise, "What happened?"

Naoki felt helpless. "Someone wanted to trade Pokemon with me, and Vibrava got angry."

Hearing this, Adeleke paused for a moment. When he noticed all of Naoki's Pokemon were present, he immediately guessed that Naoki must have refused the offer.

After calming Vibrava down, Naoki asked, "Mr. Adeleke, is it common in this world for people to trade Pokemon with each other?"

"No, but it does happen from time to time." Adeleke looked exasperated. "Not every Trainer and Pokemon can become good partners. Sometimes, after capturing a Pokemon, a Trainer may realize they aren't well-suited, and the captured Pokemon, without a deep bond, may occasionally take a liking to another Trainer who is gentler or stronger."

"In such cases, they will trade Pokemon to foster a more suitable partnership."

Naoki understood. "I see. To be honest, this is my first time encountering such a situation."

Adeleke was helpless. "Of course, not everyone is like that. There are still some people in this world who treat Pokemon as tools or pets. To them, as long as there's a better Pokemon, the previous one can be discarded without a second thought."

Such incidents were common among nouveau riche and spoiled heirs of aristocratic families.

Every time something like this happened, Adeleke felt that Team Plasma's "liberation of Pokemon" ideology had some merit.
