Chapter 382: The Full Moon Tonight
Chapter 382: The Full Moon Tonight
"Woof~ (^_^)" Ice Nine-Tails gently swayed its body, and the warm air from the hairdryer slowly dried its fur.
With its abilities, it could have frozen the moisture on its body and let it fall off, but it still enjoyed the feeling of Jing He carefully blow-drying it with the hairdryer.
On the other side, Charcoal Little Servant was gently wiping the Pokemon Egg with a towel, and its body returned to its previous form.
Meanwhile, Bear Pupil and Gramps stretched out their hands and sat by the fire.
Bear Pupil's fur gradually dried in the process.
"Koo~ Koo~"
"Cha~"
Gigaforg exhaled lightly at the hammer and then wiped it with a towel, making a "squeak, squeak" sound.
Jing He glanced at Daye and his Pokemon in the corner and called out, "Rotom."
"Here, Rotom!"
"Fan Mode."
"Understood, Rotom!"
Gramps exhaled a fan, and Rotom's body glowed with electricity as it entered the fan, transforming into Rotom-Fan.
Then, a gust of wind blew towards Daye and his Pokemon.
Whoosh—
"Koo?"
Feeling the power of the fan, Lie Yan Hou struggled to open its eyes, tears welling up in the corners.
Why don't we have so much equipment? Daye opened his mouth, and a gust of wind blew in, causing him to quickly close it again.
He gave Lie Yan Hou a look—it was actually quite nice.
After finishing everything, Jing He adjusted his sitting posture and leaned back comfortably on the soft and smooth belly of the Swift Dragon.
The indoor temperature warmed up thanks to Charcoal Little Servant and Daye's Pokemon. After soaking in the hot springs and leaning against the cool, soft, and sticky belly of the Swift Dragon, there was nothing more comfortable than this.
Perfect!
The door creaked open.
Sharon entered with her Pokemon, wearing a loose purple bathrobe and wooden clogs, her body wrapped up tightly.
Her golden hair, cascading like a waterfall, reached her waist, and her fair cheeks were flushed with a light pink hue from the hot springs. She smiled warmly, her gaze sweeping over the two in front of her.
Jing He was lying down, sprawled out, and Daye asked, "Daye, did you change your hairstyle?"
Daye: (﹏)
Three people, a long, quiet, and comfortable night, and Jing He's heart stirred.
"Let's play cards!"
The card-playing bloodline awakened once more.
In such a situation, nothing could be more fitting than an exhilarating game of Pokemon World Landlord.
"Sure," Sharon's eyes curved with a smile.
"Come, come!"
Daye rolled up his sleeves, instantly energized.
As expected, no trainer could resist the temptation to play cards.
As for the little ones, Jing He had already arranged for them to have Energy Cubes and the inn's delicacies.
After a while—
"Unfair! Why isn't Big Ghost a Gramps?!"
In the middle of the night, the snow stopped, and a bright full moon hung high in the night sky.
Jing He and Sharon sat on the edge of the open balcony, their feet soaking in the hot springs, which emitted steam.
Sharon propped her head up with her hands, watching her feet move like two white fish in the water, a hint of mischief in her eyes.
She kicked lightly, splashing some water droplets that fell and landed on Jing He's face.
Her slender feet, bathed in moonlight, resembled delicate porcelain.
Jing He: "."
The blonde beauty smiled like a child.
Noticing the gaze from Lie Yao Lu Qian in the distance, Jing He pursed her lips, temporarily suppressing the urge to "retaliate."
She reached back and leaned against the Swift Dragon's belly.
Even breathing sounds came from the dragon.
Sharon followed suit and leaned against the Swift Dragon's belly as well.
It had to be said that having a big, soft belly had its advantages.
Charcoal Little Servant sat cross-legged nearby and had already fallen asleep, but the heat it emitted was just right to dispel the cold for the two of them.
Ice Nine-Tails snuggled into Jing He's embrace, yawned, and its eyelids began to droop.
"Woof."
Jing He gently rubbed its head and then stroked its fur, whispering, "Sleep."
"Woof~"
Ice Nine-Tails nodded its head, found a comfortable position, and quietly fell asleep.
On the other side, Fire Ibu followed suit and snuggled into Sharon's embrace.
Jing He and Sharon exchanged glances, but they didn't speak as many of the little ones were already asleep.
However, their eye contact was enough.
The two smiled at each other warmly.
"Hengga~~"
Gramps, accompanied by Rotom, walked stealthily from outside, with their hands behind their backs.
Earlier, Gramps had taken Rotom to gather materials, and they returned earlier than Jing He had anticipated.
Stepping over Gigaforg, who was lying in a spread-eagle position, and Bear Pupil, who was doing push-ups with snot bubbles, they approached Jing He and Sharon.
"Clang!"
The purple-skinned chubby Pokemon proudly took out a handful of flowers from behind and presented them to Sharon.
Upon seeing this, Sharon's eyes lit up like the stars in the sky, and she whispered, "Thank you~"
Finding such a bouquet in winter was no easy task.
"Hengga~" Gramps grinned, letting out a mischievous "hehe." He then playfully raised an eyebrow at Jinghe.
Before long, Gramps yawned, kicked his feet, and began floating in mid-air, drifting off to sleep.
Jinghe shook his head, tugged at Gramps's mouth, and pulled out the Spirit Cloth Blanket, covering him with it.
Gramps smacked his lips a couple of times, holding onto a corner of the blanket, and comfortably rolled over.
"You two have a really great bond," Sharon said softly.
"Is that so?"
Jinghe smiled.
"These little guys have given me a lot of trouble."
"That's also a sign of a strong bond."
To be honest, while the little ones could be mischievous at times, when it really mattered, they would always stand by Jinghe's side, even in front of him.
Their mischief was just their way of interacting with Jinghe.
For Pokemon like Gramps, being mischievous and playful was in their nature.
Other trainers focused on suppressing their nature to make them more obedient, but only a trainer like Jinghe, who truly cared for his Pokemon's well-being, would choose to embrace their nature and transform it into a source of joy and unique characteristics.
It was time to speak up.
Spending time with the little ones was indeed delightful.
"Awoo~"
The Ice Nine-Tails lying on Jinghe's lap gently rolled over, exposing its soft belly.
He couldn't resist reaching out to rub it.
"Awoo."
The little one murmured.
"Humm~"
At that moment, a sudden yet ethereal voice echoed.
A blurry figure appeared in their line of sight.
"What's this?"
The two of them couldn't help but stare in surprise.
Jinghe was the first to react, asking, "Is this hot spring inn located next to United Lake?"
Sharon blinked.
"Probably... Not too far, I guess."
United Lake was originally a volcano, but after it became dormant, a natural lake gradually formed in the crater.
This hot spring inn was built on top of the natural hot springs left behind by the volcano.
Well, well.
With this answer, Jinghe laid down flat.
What was meant to come would eventually arrive, and what wasn't meant to be couldn't be found even if searched for.
Sharon seemed to realize this as well, asking tentatively, "Is this... Emolga?"
"Powder Saint Mushroom" Emolga, the legendary God of Emotions!
Jinghe nodded.
"Humm~"
The ethereal Emolga gently floated in the air, and as its two tails swayed, tiny specks of stardust fell.
As the God of Emotions, Emolga couldn't help but sense such intense emotions.
In its eyes, Jinghe and his Pokemon, along with Sharon and her Pokemon, and even Daye sleeping soundly with Lie Yan Hou on his chest inside the room, all seemed like bright lanterns.
However, the bond between Jinghe and his Pokemon was the most "dazzling."
"Humm~"
A soft hum resonated.
Then, under the bright moonlight, a slender, crystal-clear feather slowly descended from the sky towards Jinghe.
Ding-a-ling~
As if a bell had chimed, Emolga disappeared.
Jinghe looked at the feather in his hand, smaller than the Rainbow Feather, with an expressionless face.
Unsurprisingly, there was no surprise.
Emolga's Wing!
Now, they had truly gathered all the necessary items.
Chikorita Claw, Acknom Tooth, and Emolga's Wing.
The binding materials are complete; where can Dialga and Palkia be found?
"Emolga's approval?" Sharon whispered in realization.
"I guess so."
If 'wisdom' and 'will' were somewhat incomprehensible to Jinghe, then he certainly recognized 'emotions.'
Alright then. He sighed inwardly.
According to the 'World Devastation Prophecy' of the Unknown Totems, Dialga and Palkia might very well appear.
Having the materials to create the 'Red Chain' provided an additional means of self-protection.
Moreover, even if, hypothetically, Team Galactic's Crimson Sun could activate the Gun Pillar and summon the Temporal Dragons, Jinghe now had the means to 'counter' them.
Such abilities were better than having none.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he still needed to learn how to forge the 'Red Chain.'
I wonder if Gigaforg could figure it out...
"That's great," Sharon sighed.
She had just been saying how close Jinghe was with his Pokemon, and then Emolga appeared to give its 'approval,' proving her judgment to be incredibly accurate.
"Is this for me?"
Sharon smiled, not reaching out to take it.
Seeing this, Jinghe shrugged, stretched lazily, put his hands behind his head, and leaned back, resting against the Swift Dragon's belly again.
"The moon is so round tonight," Jinghe said with a smile.
Sharon also leaned back against the Swift Dragon's belly, gazing at the bright moon in the sky, like a jade plate, and murmured, "Hmm."
It was indeed very round—
PS: It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, so Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone~~
