Chapter 447: Working Together to Build a Home (Part 2)
However, he wondered if they had much experience in finding fish.
After some thought, Naoki added, "If you can't find them on your own, you can ask the Dragonite living there for help. Just offer them some sushi or other food in return."
The three Mimey excitedly placed their paws on their hips and turned to the Water-type Vaporeon and Golduck, saying, "Meow!" (The task of finding ingredients is up to you!)
Naoki helplessly replied, "You can't assign every task to Vaporeon and Golduck; they'll be swamped and exhausted."
"Meow..."
The Mimey fell into a dilemma, wondering whom they should send to procure supplies.
They thought carefully and suddenly came up with a good idea.
"Meow!" (We've got an idea!)
Why not ask their former underlings for help!
"Hmm?" Naoki was surprised. "What idea?"
Mimey: "Meow!" (Let's ask the Krabby!)
Naoki immediately understood.
The Krabby would indeed be suitable for the role of procurement agents.
Later, the store manager, Mimey, could accompany them to the sea to source ingredients.
However, to find the Krabby, they would have to make a trip to the Big Pot Lake area.
But... he couldn't spare the time at the moment.
Just then, Mewtwo, who was standing by, spoke up, "Let me take them there."
"Hmm?" Naoki was slightly taken aback and turned to Mewtwo, nodding, "Alright, then I'll leave it to you."
Mewtwo gave a slight nod and used Teleport to take the three Mimey away from the World Tree.
They were headed to the Big Pot Lake area to find Mimey's underlings, the Krabby.
Meanwhile, Naoki stayed behind to continue teaching Meganium how to make sushi.
Meganium was an intelligent Pokemon, and after watching Naoki's sushi-making process a few times, it had completely mastered the technique.
When Meganium indicated that it had learned the process, Naoki stepped aside and asked, "Want to give it a try?"
Meganium immediately extended its two vine whips, using a spoon to scoop out a scoop of rice from the pot and shaping it into a rice ball. It then placed the sliced salmon on top and finally wrapped it with seaweed.
And just like that, the first salmon sushi was made.
"Very good, it looks like you've got the hang of it." Naoki nodded in satisfaction.
Meganium happily replied, "Da~na~"
"Now, I'll teach you how to make a second type of sushi, the rolled sushi." Naoki continued.
This method involved using seaweed to roll up the rice ball and then cutting it into small pieces for easier consumption.
Making this type of sushi was also quite simple, and Meganium quickly mastered the technique.
"There are still some ingredients left here. Do you want to try making some sushi for everyone to taste?" Naoki asked.
"Da~na!" Meganium happily nodded.
Then, Golduck and Vaporeon also got into work mode.
They skillfully welcomed the Pokemon guests, seating them and serving them the sushi made by Meganium.
A group of Pokemon happily enjoyed the sushi feast.
And Meganium didn't forget to set aside a portion for Mewtwo.
Seeing the Pokemon getting along harmoniously, a smile appeared on Naoki's face.
He quietly turned and left, beginning to place the remaining furniture and tableware in their respective spots.
Pokemon Tavern, Pokemon Restaurant, Explorer's Guild...
"The Item Shop doesn't have any items yet. Hmm, maybe I can teach the Pokemon how to identify berries and have them bring the berries to the Item Shop to sell."
Berries had various uses, such as restoring stamina, curing poison, and removing freezing effects, similar to anomaly-curing items in role-playing games.
According to Naoki's plan, he had intended to invite the two Mudkips' parents to come to the World Tree and be the managers of the Item Shop.
But right now, there was another important task that needed their attention.
The World Tree lacked eggs, and the only way to obtain them was by raising chickens.
The two Mudkips had accumulated extensive chicken-raising experience on the ranch, so asking them to be the managers of the chicken coop on the World Tree was the most suitable arrangement.
There was also the matter of the Explorer's Guild headquarters.
Currently, the Three Musketeers exploration team was still traveling, and Naoki planned to discuss the specifics of guild management with them when they returned.
Before he knew it, Naoki had finished arranging all the items he had brought from outside.
Today's tasks were finally completed, and it was time for him to head back to the ranch!
Just then, Mewtwo and Mimey returned from Big Pot Lake to the World Tree, accompanied by three rather clumsy-looking Krabby.
Without a doubt, these three Krabby were Mimey's underlings.
However, the Water-type Krabby weren't adept at moving on land, so after Mimey briefly introduced them to the World Tree, they sent them to the sea in Dragon's Hometown.
This way, if the sushi restaurant ever ran short of ingredients, the clever Mimey could directly head to the sea with their underlings to source supplies.
Unknowingly, evening had arrived.
Naoki bid farewell to the group of Pokemon.
"I have to head back now, and I might not come here for a few days. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask..."
Before Naoki could finish, Mimey provided the answer.
"Meow!" (I know, I know! If we don't understand something, we'll ask Regirock!)
Naoki: "...”
Well, that works too! He turned to Mewtwo, "If there's anything you can't figure out, feel free to contact me via the Rotom Phone. I'll come over to help."
Hmm...
This title indeed suited Mewtwo.
With Mewtwo around, there was no need to worry about any bad people venturing up to the World Tree.
Once the World Tree took flight, such a massive tree would undoubtedly attract the attention of humans.
After all, there were still satellites in space, and a tree of this size would surely be discovered immediately.
At that time, who knows how many humans would band together to form exploration squads and venture forth?
This was a problem.
Moreover, he couldn't keep the World Tree in the Reverse World forever, as living there would mean the Pokemon would never see the sun or moon.
That would be too depressing.
Although they had Sunflora, a tiny Sunflora couldn't possibly illuminate every corner of the World Tree.
Naoki pondered hard, seeking a solution.
Now, a new problem emerged. Later on, could he ask Zapdos to create a storm cloud around the World Tree to prevent outsiders from approaching? Or could he have Mewtwo use its psychic powers to warp space and artificially create a hidden realm, making it impossible for outsiders to locate the World Tree?
With these thoughts in mind, Naoki, who had already returned to the ranch, sat on the sofa and took out his Rotom Phone to send a message to Mewtwo.
Meanwhile, Mewtwo on the World Tree was exploring the functions of the Rotom Phone.
It was no stranger to human writing, having learned human language and even programmed during the time it spent building the high-tech castle on New Island.
At this moment, Mewtwo was opening a web page and typing a string of words into the search bar.
[Why do Pokemon exist?]
Although it already knew the answer to this question, Mewtwo wanted to see how humans in this world viewed it.
Suddenly, a message popped up in the background from the Poke Pals chat group.
It was from Naoki, who went by the name of Wing King.
[Wing King: By the way, Mewtwo, can you warp space with your psychic powers? After a while, the World Tree will be sent back to the real world, and such a huge commotion will definitely attract the attention of others, drawing in a lot of adventurers.
So I'm wondering, if you can warp space, can you create a hidden realm around the World Tree so that others can't see the World Tree from the outside?]
Warp space, create a hidden realm...
Mewtwo hadn't tried this before, but Naoki's words gave it a new idea.
Mewtwo thought of the few moves it had mastered.
If it combined Moves like Trick Room, Light Screen, and Illusion, perhaps it could achieve this.
First, use its psychic powers to create a Trick Room, then set up a Light Screen, and finally, use Illusion to create an image, erasing the World Tree located inside the room.
This way, ordinary humans would never be able to find the World Tree from the outside.
After a moment of calm contemplation, Mewtwo replied.
[Mewtwo: I'll give it a try.]
Receiving Mewtwo's response, Naoki finally felt relieved.
This way, he wouldn't have to worry about the World Tree becoming a popular attraction, besieged by hordes of tourists.
Even if some people stumbled into it, like a trainer like Ash, then it would just be a wondrous encounter for them!
And if they had malicious intentions...
There was the Reindeer King riding on Spiritomb and Blizzards, the shadowy Giratina, the highly intelligent Mewtwo, capable of reading and erasing memories.
When he grew old, he could send his riding goat to the World Tree to guard its entrance, just like the three guardian pillars of the World Tree in the Kanto region.
Add to that Garchomp, Gabite, Gible, and the Gible Legion led by the Giant Garchomp.
To pass through the World Tree, one would first have to defeat the three Riding Goats at the entrance, then face attacks from Giratina and Garchomp.
Further up, Mewtwo and the Reindeer King would be waiting for them.
With several Pokemon working together, no one in this world should be able to pass through the World Tree.
Oh, right, there was also Articuno! Naoki remembered the shiny Articuno that his Garchomp had invited to the ranch.
He needed to ask Garchomp and Articuno to chat and see if he could invite it to live on the World Tree as well, adding another layer of protection.
All that was needed now was for the World Tree to fully mature!
League Calendar Year 200, April 20.
Nearly half a month had passed since Mewtwo's arrival.
During this time, Naoki made several more trips to the World Tree, bringing some other necessities of life to the Pokemon there, and also giving the Great Sage Regirock a few books and a Rotom Phone.
Because Naoki noticed that whenever the Pokemon on the World Tree had a problem, they would go to the large stone where Regirock lived to seek its wisdom.
For example, they would ask about how to get along with good friends, how to grow seedlings, or how to transport flour more efficiently.
Naoki was concerned that Regirock might also encounter questions it couldn't answer, so he bought a few books about agriculture, animal husbandry, and a world encyclopedia in Rustboro Town and gave them to Regirock.
Just in case, he also gave Regirock a Rotom Phone so that it could use the power of the internet if it encountered something it didn't understand.
The parents of the two Mudkips, Babo and Tobber, had also moved to the World Tree to become the managers of the chicken coop, taking care of the chickens there.
With them, the Pokemon on the World Tree would have an endless supply of eggs.
However, instead of chickens, Naoki actually wanted to invite Pokemon like Chansey to live on the World Tree.
Chansey's eggs contained many nutrients, and they laid larger and more abundant eggs than chickens; they could even lay several eggs in a day.
But this Pokemon was very rare, especially in modern times.
It is said that a long time ago, there were many Chansey in the world, but people wanted to obtain their nutrient-rich eggs, so they started to catch them indiscriminately.
After a period of rampant capture targeting the eggs in Chansey's belly, by modern times, the number of this Pokemon had become very scarce.
They were hardly ever seen in the wild.
In addition, Naoki bought three Milktanks and two Spritombes from the town's ranch store and sent them to the World Tree.
Now, the Explorer's Guild no longer lacked milk, eggs, butter, or tree fruit.
On weekdays, Olivia would also share the highly nutritious olive oil from her body with everyone.
Some Pokemon who were interested in cooking began to follow Slaking's advice and used the oven to bake cakes and pastries.
However, due to mishaps, the oven exploded, causing a fire. Fortunately, there were Water-type Pokemon present, and they quickly extinguished the blaze.
After hearing this news, Naoki sent them a new oven.
Half a month ago, the crops that Naoki and Mewtwo had planted were almost ready for harvest.
Perhaps due to the rich natural energy of the World Tree, the crops there grew very quickly and were of high quality.
Naoki had already received photos from Mewtwo, and he planned to go up and help with the harvest in a few days.
It could be said that things on the World Tree were gradually falling into place.
After busy work on the World Tree for more than half a month, Naoki finally got a few days of rest.
With the arrival of summer, the temperature gradually became hot.
Only in the morning and afternoon was the weather cool.
Naoki would only go out to sell vegetables or repair the ranch's wooden fence, damaged by wild Pokemon, during these two periods.
For the rest of the time, he mostly stayed at home, playing with his Pokemon and on his phone.
Recently, Naoki had been using the internet to learn about the Hoenn region.
If his timing was right, the Hoenn Crisis would occur this year.
To awaken the ancient Pokemon Groudon and Kyogre, Team Magma and Team Aqua began their respective plans.
One team wanted to expand the landmass, while the other wanted to cover the world in seawater.
This year, Groudon and Kyogre would be awakened by these two extremist organizations, leading to a catastrophic battle in the Hoenn region.
After the Pokemon world entered the internet age, it seemed like all regions were connected.
Naoki quickly found information related to the Hoenn Crisis.
A netizen named [King of the Sea] boldly challenged the Hoenn League in his post, boasting that their Team Aqua's grand plan would soon be accomplished.
Naoki checked the posting date; it was two days ago in the afternoon.
Tsk, this Team Aqua member is quite bold!
Out of curiosity, Naoki clicked on the comments and saw an announcement from the Hoenn League.
[Hoenn League: The aforementioned member has been successfully arrested by the Hoenn Police this morning. According to the investigation, he is a member of the evil organization, Team Aqua, which is currently planning an evil scheme in the Hoenn region. Please be vigilant, citizens, and contact your local police department immediately if you encounter any suspicious individuals!]
Naoki: "..."
What an idiot! Doesn't he know that popping the champagne early never ends well?
Archie, the leader of Team Aqua, must be furious with his foolish subordinate.
Such stupidity would surely be laughed at by their rivals.
However, Team Magma could pop the champagne now for real.
With the Hoenn League's attention focused on Team Aqua, their plans would likely proceed much more smoothly.
Groudon and Kyogre...
Naoki fell into deep thought.
Just then, a notification sound came from his Rotom Phone.
It was a message from a Poke Pal.
Hmm? Who could be messaging him now? Naoki unlocked the screen and saw a red dot next to Yacer's avatar.
...It was Yacer.
[Yacer: By the way, Naoki, summer is almost here. To thank you for hosting the guests from the Pasio League, we've specially prepared a vacation trip for you, with a private jet to take you there and all expenses, including hotel and meals, covered.
The destination is Sunny City, which is in its best season for tourism right now. They say summer and the beach go hand in hand!]
Naoki: "......"
He felt that Yacer was up to something. Why was he being so nice to him? It was as if he was plotting something.
Could he be trying to butter him up to get him to join the Pasio League? But Naoki had to go to the World Tree soon to help with the harvest; he didn't have time to leave the ranch.
After a brief contemplation, Naoki replied.
[Wing King: Thank you very much, but the ranch is quite busy lately, and I can't get away. So, I'll have to decline.]
