Chapter 428: Forest of Treecko, Giving Treecko a Little Surprise
Chapter 428: Forest of Treecko, Giving Treecko a Little Surprise
After sending the message, Naoki felt like he was becoming an NPC in the game, tasked with giving out quests.
However, as the Pokemon living in the World Tree would be closely connected to the Big Hero Adventuring Team in the future, it would be better to let Teddiursa, Mew, and the others invite the Pokemon themselves.
Everyone was good friends, living happily together, farming and exploring as a team.
Just thinking about that life brought a smile to Naoki's face.
Upon returning to the ranch, it was already noon.
Naoki washed his hands and began preparing lunch for the Pokemon.
Today's lunch was equally sumptuous.
There was grilled meat, steamed sea bass, Padian seafood rice, vegetable salad, sandwiches, along with nutritious energy blocks and the delicious treat, Pokeblock, for dessert.
This well-balanced lunch combination could cater to almost every Pokemon on the ranch.
"Ebu! Ebu!"
The voices of the Eevees rang out from the living room, and when Naoki looked up, he saw several little Eevees chasing each other's tails, running around the sofa.
One of them accidentally stepped on Goldeen's tail, and Goldeen, who had been dozing with its eyes closed, was startled awake. It opened its golden eyes to look at the culprit.
Instead of being afraid, the little Eevee started chasing and playing around Goldeen.
Seeing this, Goldeen sighed in resignation. "Ah, Gaah..."
"They're not scared of you anymore," Naoki said with a smile as he carried the food to the dining room.
At first, these little Eevees were afraid of Goldeen, but as they interacted daily, they gradually realized that Goldeen wasn't so scary after all and rarely lost its temper.
Over time, they lost their fear of Goldeen.
"Ah, Gaah..." Goldeen sighed helplessly and resignedly, allowing the little Eevees to run around it.
When the Eevees noticed Naoki, they quickly shifted their attention to him.
They gathered around, lifting their little heads to call out to him.
Naoki raised his eyebrows. "What's up?"
The Rotom Phone translated, "The Eevees are asking, 'Can we evolve into more powerful Eevees now?' Rotom!"
"Do you want to evolve?" Naoki turned and didn't see the already evolved Eevees in the room.
The three Eevee brothers of Vaporeon, Flareon, and Jolteon, along with Espeon and Umbreon, preferred the outdoors to being inside after evolving.
At this time, they were probably outside playing with Delibird and the others.
The three unevolved Eevees nodded their little heads. "Ebu!"
That's right! They had grown into full-sized Eevees and were ready to evolve into more powerful forms!
One of the Eevees even proudly displayed its strong body.
Naoki: "..."
It had been seven months since the Eevees hatched, and they had indeed grown quite a bit since then.
"Alright, I'll see if I can help you evolve after lunch," Naoki agreed.
"Ebu!" The three Eevees exclaimed happily.
There was one more Eevee sitting aside, seemingly uninterested in evolving.
That was because Naoki had said that the unevolved Partner Eevee was the strongest!
After all, only the Partner Eevee could use the super-move—Rainbow Ascension Together!
After reassuring the Eevees, Naoki turned and carried the rest of the food to the dining room.
Once everything was prepared, he stood under the eaves and whistled to the Pokemon on the ranch.
Soon, a large group of Pokemon came running from all directions, heading to their food bowls and happily digging in.
In the afternoon, they arrived in Hoenn, in a place called the Forest of Treecko.
This was a lush forest, and at its center had once stood a tall, majestic tree. However, not long ago, the giant tree had fallen due to old age.
As a result, a Pokemon called Treecko, which had built its nest around the giant tree, lost its home.
Three Pokemon from the Big Hero Adventuring Team had received this news from a wild Huntail and made their way here, wanting to see if they could offer some help to the unfortunate Treeckos.
Here, Mew and Teddiursa saw the withered, fallen giant tree.
"Mmm..."
"Miu?"
Seeing the sad state of the tree, the Pokemon felt a pang of sympathy, and Mew even thought of the World Tree back at the ranch.
Would the World Tree wither like this giant tree someday? Would they also lose their home like the Treeckos living here?
Mew didn't know, Teddiursa didn't know, and Zapdos didn't know either.
So, after some hesitation, the three Pokemon decided to seek Naoki's help.
"Yimoyimo?" (Naoki, will the World Tree wither away someday too?)
Through Rotom's translation, Teddiursa's words were conveyed to Naoki.
Naoki was quite surprised by the question: "Of course not! As long as this world doesn't end, the World Tree will never wither. Has something happened over there?"
Mew and Teddiursa nodded, then moved aside to reveal the withered, fallen giant tree behind them.
Naoki immediately understood the situation.
"Oh, I see! But don't worry, that will absolutely not happen."
Hearing this, Teddiursa and Mew finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Naoki wanted to say something more, but at that moment, he suddenly spotted several shadows flitting through the bushes behind the two Pokemon.
Accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, several sharp Leaf Blades struck the ground near Zapdos' legs.
"Danger!" Naoki quickly warned.
The three Pokemon immediately went on high alert, and the Rotom Phone automatically scanned the surroundings.
Soon, Naoki spotted several green silhouettes on the nearby trees.
They were... Treecko, the Hoenn region's starter Pokemon?!
At this moment, Mew and Teddiursa also noticed the Treeckos' presence.
Teddiursa immediately tried to communicate with them: "Yimoyimo!" (We are the Big Hero Adventuring Team, and we mean no harm!)
The Treeckos continued to eye them warily.
Seeing this, Naoki instantly understood what the Treeckos were thinking.
This place was their territory, and the sudden intrusion of Zapdos, Mew, and Teddiursa was seen as a threat to their home.
According to the Treeckos' nature, they would aggressively intimidate any intruders, defending their homeland.
This was also why Treeckos were known as the Pokemon that protected the forest trees.
However, from their actions, it seemed less like an attack and more like a warning to the Big Hero Adventuring Team.
Otherwise, with the Treeckos' abilities, there was no way they would have missed a stationary target with Leaf Blade.
As the Treeckos ignored them, Mew also spoke up: "Miu!" (We heard from other Pokemon that a giant tree fell here, so we came to take a look and see if we could be of any help!)
Zapdos spread its wings, and the crackling sound of electricity arced along its sharp feathers.
Seeing Zapdos' movement, the Treeckos became even more vigilant.
Just then, a creaking, aged Pokemon cry rang out from the forest.
Hearing this voice, the Treeckos paused and turned to look.
An older Treecko slowly emerged from the grass.
The other Treeckos jumped down to the ground and followed the older one.
"Chak?" (Are you saying you're here to help us?)
Mew and Teddiursa nodded vigorously.
"Yimoyimo!" (That's right! We are the Big Hero Adventuring Team, traveling the world to help Pokemon in need!)
The Treecko looked at the giant tree. "Chak." (But this giant tree is already dead. It was too old and couldn't survive any longer.)
Hearing this, Mew and Teddiursa couldn't help but look troubled.
Mew flew forward and tried to use its powers to revive the giant tree, but it failed.
This left the two Pokemon unsure of what to do next.
After a moment of thought, Teddiursa refused to give up: "Yimoyimo!" (There must be a way!)
"Excuse me." On the Rotom Phone's screen, Naoki, who had witnessed the whole situation, suddenly spoke up.
The group of Pokemon immediately looked over at him.
The Treeckos then noticed that there was a human inside the strange Pokemon.
Naoki: "Teddiursa, Mew, see if you can find the seed of the giant tree near its remains. If you can find it, with Rayquaza's power, we can make it thrive again."
Hearing this, Mew and Teddiursa's eyes lit up.
They quickly flew to the fallen giant tree and started searching through the branches and examining the decayed trunk.
Soon enough, Teddiursa managed to find a seed.
Naoki continued, "Next, dig a hole in the clearing and bury this seed in it."
"Yimoyimo!"
Teddiursa followed the instructions and began digging a hole with its small claws under the Treeckos' watchful gaze.
Before long, a pit about ten centimeters deep was dug.
Teddiursa placed the seed inside and covered it with soil.
Back at the ranch, Naoki nodded at Rayquaza.
Even when it was far away in Galar, Rayquaza had once caused the crops in Naoki's ranch to mature ahead of time.
And with Rayquaza's current power, such a task would be child's play.
The seed that had just been buried began to grow at a visible rate, sprouting into a tender sapling.
The Treecko watched, stunned by this development.
Before they could react, the sapling continued its rapid growth.
In just a few breaths, a robust and towering giant tree stood before them.
Treecko: !!!
Never having witnessed such a phenomenon, the Treecko were left dumbfounded.
Mew and Teddiursa stood happily beneath the tree.
"Yimoyimo!" (No problem now!)
"Miu~" (Now you can live under the giant tree again~)
Seeing the shocked expressions on the Treecko's faces, Naoki couldn't help but feel amused.
Treecko, one of the Hoenn region's starter Pokemon, was also a companion of Satoshi.
His Treecko had later evolved into a Sceptile, achieving an impressive battle record. In the Sinnoh region's league conference, it had even defeated the legendary Pokemon, Darkrai, owned by the champion, God-Eyes Darc.
Although it was eventually defeated by the Latios sent out by Darc, Sceptile had performed admirably.
But, getting back to the topic, was this the kind of daily adventure the Big Hero Adventuring Team experienced?
Helping Pokemon in need wherever they went seemed quite interesting.
Naoki had intended to continue watching, but suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Seeing that things seemed to be under control with Teddiursa and the others, he ended the call and went to answer the door.
The visitor was the mayor of Thomaston, the white-bearded Elder Thomas.
The elderly gentleman greeted him with a smile. "Good afternoon, Naoki!"
"Good afternoon, Elder Thomas!" Naoki greeted him in return. "What brings you here?"
Elder Thomas nodded and asked, "It's about the Spring Fishing Competition. It's going to be held the day after tomorrow, and I wanted to ask if you plan to participate this year."
Spring Fishing Competition...
The mention of fishing reminded Naoki of the Padian seafood rice he had eaten earlier.
That dish had an effect that increased the likelihood of catching rare fish for the consumer.
"Sure!" Naoki thought that since he would be idle at the ranch anyway, he might as well go and have some fun.
Elder Thomas smiled and said, "That's wonderful! The famous fishers in town have been eager to compete against you for a long time. They couldn't challenge you in the past two years, so this year, they specifically asked me to inquire about your participation."
Naoki: "..."
With Elder Thomas' explanation, Naoki immediately understood the situation.
When he had first arrived at the ranch, he had Garchomp help with frying a lot of fish to earn money.
The townspeople had always assumed that he had caught those fish himself. In the eyes of the people of Rustboro, Ranch Owner Naoki was probably a master fisher with incredible skills.
His fishing abilities were believed to have reached an almost divine level.
Naoki was left speechless.
However, Elder Thomas looked delighted. "The fishing competition will be held at Big Pot Lake. It starts at 8 AM the day after tomorrow. Go and awe those challengers with your fishing prowess!"
Naoki: "..."
It seemed like he had no choice but to bring out the Padian seafood rice.
Meanwhile, in the Treecko Forest of the Hoenn region.
To express their gratitude to the Big Hero Adventuring Team, the Treecko brought tree fruits and held a feast under the newly revived giant tree.
The elderly Treecko handed a tree fruit to Teddiursa.
"Chak!" (You guys are amazing! You actually managed to bring this withered giant tree back to life!)
Teddiursa took it happily, nodding and exclaiming, "Yimoyimo!" (All thanks to Naoki and Rayquaza!)
Naoki? Rayquaza?
Were they referring to the human inside the Pokemon, Lotad? The Treecko asked, curious.
Teddiursa shook its head and then nodded. "Yimoyimo! Yimoyimo!" (Naoki is indeed Naoki, the best human in the world! Rayquaza is also a very powerful Pokemon, and it lives together with everyone on the ranch!)
Mew, by its side, nodded in agreement. "Miu~"
The Treecko asked, "Chak? (Ranch?)
"
"Yimoyimo! Yimoyimo!" (That's our home! There's also a huge, huge tree there called the World Tree!)
At this point, Teddiursa suddenly remembered the quest Naoki had given them earlier.
Looking at the Treecko before him, he wondered if they were also Grass-type Pokemon.
So, Teddiursa happily extended an invitation to them.
"Yimoyimo? Yimoyimo!" (The World Tree is very big and spacious. Naoki plans to build an Adventurer's Guild, a Pokemon Tavern, a Pokemon Farm, and a Pokemon Restaurant there. Would you like to settle down on the World Tree? It'll be so lively with everyone living together!)
