Chapter 448: Paradise (Part 1)
Patelia Pokemon League Headquarters.
Ye Zi looked at the reply on her phone screen, her emotions suddenly becoming complex.
Not far away, Xin Li leaned against the wall, her arms crossed. Seeing Ye Zi's expression, she remained silent for a moment before speaking up. "He... didn't accept?"
"Ai," Ye Zi sighed, revealing her original plan. "I wanted Qi Shu to give him a proper tour of Luminaria City and spend seven relaxing days on the beach there!"
She had even bought the tickets, but Zhishu refused to go.
Xin Li thought about it carefully before speaking. "The farmers are busy harvesting their crops during this period. Maybe Zhishu doesn't have the time."
Ye Zi flipped through her phone, about to say something, when she suddenly came across a trending topic online.
The hottest search revealed that the strongest Galar champion, Dandelion, had left the Galar region and was currently on a cruise ship headed for the Patelia region.
This trending topic was started by a Patelia native who had just returned from a trip to Galar, where they had witnessed the unique Dynamax battles.
Now that their trip was over, the person was planning to return to Patelia by cruise ship, and they had coincidentally run into Dandelion on board. They had even taken a photo together.
In the photo, Dandelion had a wide smile, his white teeth gleaming, and his expression was exceedingly cheerful.
"Dandelion? Why is he coming to the Patelia region again? Is he looking for Zhishu?" Ye Zi suddenly recalled the last time Dandelion had come to ask them about Zhishu.
Her heart sounded an immediate alarm.
Could Dandelion be planning to invite Zhishu to join the Galar Pokemon League?
Absolutely not!
Ye Zi's expression suddenly turned solemn.
She seriously shared her speculation with Xin Li.
After listening, Xin Li opened her mouth, at a loss for words. "Chief, you're overthinking this..."
"Xin Li, help me pack. I'm going to visit Zhishu as well!" Ye Zi had made up her mind.
It was a good opportunity to see what Zhishu was up to at the ranch and, at the same time, sound him out to see if he had any plans regarding their relationship.
She didn't want him to end up like her, putting marriage on the back burner because of work.
Xin Li: "..."
She sighed. "Alright, I understand."
Meanwhile, at the ranch, Zhishu had also received news that Dandelion was planning to visit.
Dandelion said he was currently on his way to the Patelia region and expected to arrive in two days.
Two days... Zhishu thought carefully and realized that by then, he would have just finished his work with the World Tree.
Organizing his thoughts, Zhishu replied to the message.
[Wing King: Good. When you arrive, remember to take a Talon Taxi from the shore. Don't get lost again.]
[Dandelion: Haha, don't worry. I'll definitely be there on time this trip!]
On the other end of the screen, Dandelion replied sheepishly.
Ever since his last experience of getting lost, he had given up on traveling by Charizard and opted for a cruise ship, a means of transportation with a fixed route.
Dandelion thought this would prevent him from getting lost again.
But he had no choice; his sense of direction had always been poor, even as a child.
It was quite an embarrassing flaw.
When he had first started traveling, he often got lost, to the point where his Charmander had learned to read maps and guide him.
Later, that Charmander evolved into a Charizard, becoming his most trusted partner.
The next day, Zhishu brought the ranch Pokemon and Rayquaza to the World Tree to accelerate its growth.
With Rayquaza's mighty power, a thick green light burst from the World Tree.
After a moment, the light faded, and the World Tree, having absorbed a large amount of energy, returned to its original state.
Although its appearance hadn't changed, Zhishu knew that this World Tree was now just two months away from full maturity!
Zhishu looked up at the World Tree before him, and the next second, information about the tree automatically appeared in his mind.
[World Tree (Mature)
: A seedling that has absorbed a large amount of Grass Energy, this tree underwent a mutation during its growth due to the influence of a riding goat. It is imbued with a vast life force, and it is said that it can support an entire world and nurture all things with its natural energy. Time until full growth: 19,850 years.]
"Next, we'll do it once in May, and when June arrives, we can begin the World Tree Ascension Plan!" Zhishu was thrilled.
Not only him, but Rayquaza also felt an indescribable emotion at this moment.
In its wildest dreams, it had never imagined that it would be able to cultivate such a magnificent being in its lifetime!
"It truly makes me look forward to the future," Rayquaza murmured softly.
Just then, a white light flashed nearby, and Mewtwo appeared on the empty island at the base of the World Tree.
It looked at Zhishu and the group of Pokemon with a puzzled expression, then turned its gaze to the World Tree.
It was clear that Mewtwo had also sensed the changes in the World Tree.
"Don't worry. Rayquaza is helping the World Tree grow," Zhishu explained briefly. "This is Rayquaza's power. It can accelerate the growth of plants, causing them to mature instantly. But the World Tree requires too much energy, so we have to do it in stages."
"I see," Mewtwo nodded calmly, then turned his gaze to the Pokemon with the large head.
He remembered that it was also in that group chat.
For the past few days, Mewtwo had been quietly observing the chat, witnessing the conversations between the other two Pokemon.
Over time, he had discovered that the Giratina in the chat had a rather aggressive and rude personality, often getting into online arguments with humans.
Sometimes, when Giratina was bested in an argument, it would even travel along the network cables to intimidate those humans.
Compared to Giratina, who was always grumbling and cursing, this Pokemon named Rayquaza was much more peaceful.
Occasionally, Rayquaza would speak up to soothe Giratina's volatile emotions and calm it down.
In addition, Mewtwo noticed that these two Pokemon were extremely popular on the human internet and had a large human fan base.
Giratina had once tried to get Mewtwo to sign up for one of those accounts, but it had refused.
Mewtwo didn't want to reveal its current situation, nor did it want to be disturbed by humans, and it wasn't accustomed to that kind of life.
With these thoughts in mind, Mewtwo turned to Rayquaza and nodded slightly.
A gentle smile appeared on Rayquaza's face.
Then, it turned around and said to Zhishu, "In that case, I won't disturb you further. I shall return and continue playing on my phone."
Zhishu: "..."
"Yeah, go ahead." After seeing Rayquaza off, Zhishu turned to Mewtwo and said, "The crops in the fields should be ready for harvest, right?"
Mewtwo nodded.
"Good, then let's go help them harvest the crops!" Zhishu turned to the Pokemon beside him and said, "Golem, Motoxizard, Babuscratch, Frostcream, and Saltygeists, let's go up there and lend a hand!"
"Agas!"
"Ga~"
"Bamo~"
"..."
The group of Pokemon readily agreed.
Zhishu led them to follow Mewtwo into the World Tree.
Mewtwo flew ahead, its long tail swaying gently, looking to be in a very good mood.
Zhishu watched for a while, then turned his gaze away when they reached the area where the World Tree elevator was located. He led the Pokemon onto the green bubbles and ascended to the very top of the World Tree, where the Adventurer's Guild was located.
After a few days, the guild was now bustling with activity, and Pokemon could be seen everywhere.
There was the hardworking Meganium, Vaporeon, and Psyduck in the sushi restaurant, along with the three Miltank managers.
On the benches in the Slowpoke Park were the leisurely Meowth and Ninetales, enjoying the breeze.
In the cafe, there were Whismur and Rattata brewing coffee.
In the tavern, Pikachu and Meowth were working as waiters.
And right in front of the Adventurer's Guild, there was a sleeping Rhydon.
Zhishu even spotted a few Dragonite who had come to play here.
The two Dragonite were sitting in the sushi restaurant, their mouths wide open as they savored the salmon sushi crafted by the head chef, Meganium.
Zheng, these Pokemon really know how to enjoy life! Zhishu thought in awe, and the Pokemon accompanying him were also filled with curiosity about this place.
At that moment, Frostcream peered through the glass window of the cake shop and spotted two other Frostcream Pokemon inside. It immediately let out an excited cry.
"Mama!"
Those two Frostcreams were the ones Zhishu had brought from town a few days ago.
One was a vanilla-flavored Frostcream, and the other was a lemon-flavored Frostcream.
Hearing Frostcream's call, they immediately looked up and spotted their companion through the glass window.
Zhishu noticed this and said to Frostcream, "Do you want to go and play with them?"
"Mama!" Frostcream nodded eagerly, loving to make new friends.
"Then go ahead!" Zhishu smiled, knowing that this place was very safe, and he didn't have to worry about anything harming the Pokemon.
So, Frostcream happily ran off.
Zhishu turned to the other Pokemon and said,
"This is the Pokemon paradise I've created. You are free to move about and do as you please."
Hearing this, Seel and Haunter couldn't help but look envious.
They were like children who had just been given new toys, and they excitedly ran towards the sushi restaurant.
Babuscratch also made its way to the chicken coop to visit its parents.
Zhishu's Eevees scattered and began playing around the Adventurer's Guild.
Only the five large Saltygeists stood awkwardly in place, not knowing what to do.
Frostcream waved at them, and the five Saltygeists happily ran over to join it.
Soon, only Golem and Motoxizard remained by Zhishu's side.
Mewtwo stood silently nearby, watching this scene.
"Let's go take a look at the farm," Zhishu said.
Mewtwo nodded.
Soon, they arrived at the farmlands, which had been transformed from a plain.
Various crops now grew in the fields—lush green watermelons, orange pumpkins, dark green cucumbers, red apples, and golden wheat...
When the wind blew, the wheat fields rippled like waves, filling the air with the joy of a bountiful harvest.
"Do you remember how to harvest the crops?" Zhishu asked.
Mewtwo nodded.
The next second, a powerful psychic power enveloped the wheat field.
Immediately afterward, grains of wheat flew out of the field, forming a dark cloud in the air before falling into the mill.
Charizard and Nidoking were already waiting there with wooden buckets.
As the mill turned, the wheat was ground into flour, filling the buckets.
Soon, Nidoking picked up the full bucket of flour and moved it aside, then brought over another empty bucket.
After a few rounds of this, over a dozen buckets filled with flour were neatly arranged next to the mill.
Zhishu: "..."
Having a Psychic-type Pokemon around was so convenient!
The Pokemon watched intently, and a particularly clever Graveler quickly picked up the skill. Using its sharp claws, it began to harvest the crops, following in Zhishu's footsteps.
Zhishu nodded in approval, "That's right, just like that! Keep it up!"
Seeing this, the other Pokemon excitedly joined in.
Mewtwo hovered nearby, looking puzzled at the group in the fields.
Zhishu paused and stood by its side, as if understanding Mewtwo's confusion. He explained,
"They need to learn to harvest the crops themselves. You won't be able to take care of them forever, and if one day you decide to leave the World Tree and explore other places, these Pokemon will be able to survive on their own here."
Planting, watering, harvesting...
Different Pokemon worked together, building their own grand farm.
Hearing this, Mewtwo gazed thoughtfully at the fields.
Zhishu didn't say more but smiled and said, "Let's have them taste a lunch made with the ingredients they grew themselves!"
"Okay." Mewtwo nodded.
After that, Mewtwo didn't interfere much. It stood by and watched as Zhishu led the Pokemon in their diligent labor.
Only when the Pokemon were exhausted and sat on the ground did Mewtwo step in to harvest the remaining crops, using Teleport to transfer them to the granary.
Watching this, Zhishu thought, "We still need more hands!"
If only there were more Pokemon like Axew and Pinsir, these fields wouldn't require Mewtwo's help.
"Oh well, I'll leave it to Mew and Teddiursa to invite more Pokemon gradually!" Zhishu thought to himself.
As noon approached, they returned to the Adventurer's Guild with their bountiful harvest.
Zhishu cooked a sumptuous lunch for the Pokemon using the fruits and vegetables they had gathered.
They ate in the restaurant next to the Adventurer's Guild.
A large group of Pokemon filled the restaurant, crowding around tables laden with delicious dishes and snacks.
After tasting the food, a Pokemon exclaimed in shock.
So delicious! Seeing its reaction, the other Pokemon eagerly dug in.
Zhishu and Gorebyss smiled as they stood by, asking, "How does it feel to eat a meal made with ingredients you grew yourselves?"
Meowth looked utterly content, as if drunk, "Meow~" (It feels so blissful, meow~)
Pikachu's eyes lit up, "Pika Pika!" (This is the life I want!)
"Ditto!"
"Roar!"
"Mew~"
The surrounding Pokemon chimed in, filling the restaurant with a sense of happiness.
Zhishu smiled warmly at the scene.
"From now on, you will live well here!"
After lunch, Zhishu began to tour the Pokemon's lives in the World Tree.
He found that the Pokemon were quite adept at their assigned tasks.
After filling their bellies, the Pokemon dispersed to do what they enjoyed.
Milank, the sushi restaurant owner, returned with its three employees to continue running the shop.
However, as everyone had just eaten, there were no customers.
Just then, the head chef, Meganium, informed Milank that they were running low on ingredients.
Upon hearing this, Milank immediately set off for Dragonheim on the next level to find its subordinate, Tyrantrum, and together, they went into the sea to search for salmon and seaweed that grew on the ocean floor.
Zhishu didn't follow, as he wanted to observe the other Pokemon's lives in this place.
So, he went to the cafe next to the sushi restaurant.
When Zhishu arrived, Whismur was skillfully brewing coffee behind the counter, stirring the coffee grounds in the cups with a spoon.
Upon seeing Zhishu, Rattata promptly brought over three cups of coffee prepared by Whismur.
One for Zhishu, one for Gorebyss, and one for Motoxizard.
Zhishu took a sip and found the coffee less bitter than he expected, as if Whismur had modified the flavor.
"Great skill!" Zhishu gave Whismur a thumbs-up.
He noticed that Gorebyss and Motoxizard, who usually didn't drink coffee, were enjoying large quantities, indicating that this modified version suited the Pokemon's taste.
"Mimi!" Whismur exclaimed happily.
At that moment, the three Trevenant guarding the tree orchard arrived at the cafe.
Whismur became busy tending to them.
Not wanting to disturb them, Zhishu, Gorebyss, and Motoxizard finished their coffee and left.
Next, they visited the item shop.
The shop owner was now a Victreebel, and the counters were filled with various Berries—some for restoring energy, others for curing various status conditions. The selection was comprehensive.
Zhishu browsed the store, with the Victreebel happily attending to him.
"That's right, use your enthusiasm to serve customers, and you'll attract even more!" Zhishu encouraged Victreebel.
Victreebel nodded vigorously, understanding the advice.
Next to the item shop was the Pokemon Center, but it was currently empty as there were no Pokemon with healing abilities on this side of the World Tree.
Zhishu didn't disturb them and got up to leave, heading towards the Pokemon Tavern.
Pikachu and Meowth were busy there.
Cinderace was also around, and it seemed to enjoy the tavern's atmosphere.
