Chapter 503: Gu Jian Bao Joins, and Four Auspicious Signs are Born!
Was that just a Phione?
Straight Tree stared at the now-calm Poke Ball, his face filled with astonishment. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Did a Phione just fall into his lap like that? Although Straight Tree had a vague guess that the Phione was attracted to the round Poke Ball, it was still bizarre how it accidentally ended up inside.
Instead of immediately checking on the Phione, Straight Tree took out another new Poke Ball and threw it towards Gu Jian Bao.
This time, nothing unexpected happened, and Gu Jian Bao was captured without incident.
Perhaps due to its severe injuries and exhaustion of all its strength and means, the Poke Ball only wobbled slightly before falling still.
"Phew..."
Straight Tree let out a sigh of relief as he witnessed this.
With this, all four of the calamity Pokemon had finally been collected!
Straight Tree picked up the two Poke Balls and stored Gu Jian Bao's Poke Ball away, planning to release and reverse its status once they returned to the ranch.
"Phione, come on out!"
Along with a flash of white light, the Phione that had just been inside the Poke Ball appeared on the grass in front of Straight Tree.
"Phi?"
The Phione looked around in confusion, its expression blank as if it had no idea what had just transpired.
Straight Tree smiled and held up the Poke Ball in his hand.
The Phione's gaze immediately shifted to the ball.
"Phiphi!"
It jumped up and caught the round Poke Ball, placing it in the bag in front of it.
"Phi~" Finally, it was complete!
The Phione heaved a sigh of relief.
"Do you know what that is?" Straight Tree asked.
At his words, the Phione looked down at the "round stone" in its bag.
"Phi?"
"That's a Poke Ball. I was trying to capture another Pokemon, and then you suddenly rushed over and bumped into it."
Straight Tree explained the situation to the Phione: "In other words, you're now my Pokemon. Only Pokemon willing to follow a human Trainer will enter a Poke Ball voluntarily."
The Phione blinked, seeming to ponder the meaning of his words.
Straight Tree smiled and asked, "Are you willing to leave with me and live with us?"
"Phii..." The Phione murmured.
In fact, it had quite a favorable impression of the human in front of it and the other Pokemon.
After all, they had helped rescue it from the mischievous Aipom.
Not only that, but they had also offered to help it search for its lost stone, even though they hadn't found it.
After a while, the Phione finally asked, "Phiphi?" (Can I have this round stone?)
Straight Tree was a little taken aback, not expecting the Phione's request to be so simple.
"Of course. The moment you caught it, it became yours," Straight Tree said.
Although the Phione had entered the Poke Ball, if it didn't want to return to the ranch with him, neither he nor Gurdleton could force it to leave with them.
However, upon hearing his words, the Phione before him didn't hesitate and immediately gave its answer.
"Phiphi!" The Phione replied happily, indicating its willingness.
"A-ga-si..." Gurdleton couldn't help but tug at the corner of his mouth.
This guy... he's still the same as always!
"Then, welcome to the team!" Straight Tree grinned.
Straight Tree stored the Poke Balls of the two Pokemon and, as promised, gave the Poke Block and Energy Cube as rewards to the Pokemon who had helped him find the seal post and the shrine.
The Pokemon who received the rewards were overjoyed.
The little elephant, in particular, couldn't resist digging in right away.
However, there were also some Pokemon who specifically put away the Energy Cube for safekeeping.
One such Pokemon was Meowth.
After receiving the Energy Cube, it only glanced at the Poke Block in the box before closing the lid and placing it behind him.
Straight Tree looked around at the Pokemon enjoying their treats and then turned to Meowth, asking, "Meowth, you're not eating?"
"Meowth!"
Meowth shook his head. He intended to take it home to his children.
Sensing Meowth's thoughts, Straight Tree paused for a moment before sincerely praising him, "You're a wonderful mother."
"Meowth~" Meowth rubbed his head, a little embarrassed.
Straight Tree opened his backpack and realized that all the Poke Blocks and Energy Cubes had been distributed, leaving only two sandwiches.
He took out the sandwiches and handed them to Meowth, "Consider these two sandwiches as a gift to your children. Take them home and enjoy them with your family!"
"Meowth!" Meowth's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at the human before him with gratitude.
However, the human merely smiled, turned to bid them farewell, and rode away on the red Pokemon.
"Meowth..."
Meowth was deeply touched.
There, a group of young Skitty awaited their mother's return.
At three in the afternoon, Gurdleton landed with Straight Tree back at the ranch.
As soon as they arrived, Gurdleton and Straight Tree were surrounded by Gurdos, the ancient Buneary, and Kos, the ancient Feebas, who had been waiting on the lawn.
As for Gu Jian Bao, the ancient Torkoal, it was still basking in the sun, fast asleep.
Gurdos turned and saw the sight, and couldn't help but nudge Kos to bump him with the large cauldron on his head.
"Bong!"
The jolt startled Gu Jian Bao awake, and it shook its head, feeling dazed as its vision blurred.
"Gu xi?!?" (What happened?!?)
Gu Jian Bao shook its head vigorously, looking confusedly at Gurdos and Kos.
Kos replied, "Gu yue!" (Straight Tree's back!)
Straight Tree's back?
Gu Jian Bao moved slowly, giving the impression that its brain was operating at the same speed.
At first, Gu Jian Bao didn't understand what was happening, but soon, a thought occurred to it.
"Gu xi?" (Did Straight Tree bring back that Gu Jian Pao guy?)
Gurdos sighed in exasperation. "Mou mou!" (You dolt!)
Straight Tree was in the middle of a call with Lei He on his Rotom Phone.
"That's right, I've captured Gu Jian Pao. Now, all four of the calamity Pokemon are at my ranch."
"That's wonderful!" Lei He exclaimed excitedly on the other end of the line. "I've been dreaming of this moment for years, and now it's finally happening!"
Lei He's eyes gleamed with anticipation. "For their sake, I don't know how many ancient tombs I've robbed, searching for clues about the Calamities in countless ancient ruins..."
"Ah! It was worth all the time and money I spent. I'm finally going to see them, and I'm so excited!"
As she spoke, Lei He paced excitedly in her room.
Finally, she leaned closer to the screen. "Straight Tree, bring them to the Paritia Academy right now! I'll cover your accommodations and meals in Zuit Town for today!"
"Umm..." Straight Tree wiped a bead of cold sweat from his forehead. "Did you just reveal something incredible?"
"Huh?" Lei He took a step back. "Did I say something?"
Straight Tree: "..." Never mind.
"I still have some things to take care of here, so I can't make it today. But I'll bring them to Zuit Town first thing tomorrow morning," Straight Tree said.
"Tomorrow morning..." Lei He was a little disappointed that she couldn't meet the four Calamities right away, but after thinking about it, she realized that the timing wasn't too bad. She nodded. "Alright, I'll ask the principal for a leave of absence tomorrow, and I'll be ready to host you then!"
"Okay, then we'll leave it at that for now. I have some other things to take care of, so I'll hang up first. See you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!"
After ending the call, Straight Tree turned to Gurdos, Kos, and Gu Jian Bao, who had gathered in front of him.
He took out the Poke Ball containing Gu Jian Bao and pressed the button on top.
With a flash of white light, Gu Jian Bao's chilly figure appeared before the group of Pokemon.
Gu Jian Bao's injuries from Gurdleton's attacks hadn't fully healed yet, but it had calmed down and was now looking at everyone with calm, sapphire-like eyes.
Kos asked, "Gu yue?" (It seems the calamity force didn't affect you too much.)
Gurdos laughed and said, "Mou mou!" (That's a good thing! Long time no see, Gu Jian Bao!)
A hint of dignity flashed in Gu Jian Bao's eyes. This straightforward Pokemon first answered Kos' question, then greeted Gurdos.
"Gu pao, gu pao." (When that human defeated me, most of the calamity force left my body, so I was able to regain my senses. Long time no see, Gurdos.)
Seeing that Gu Jian Bao seemed to have regained its senses, Straight Tree scratched his head and said, "Umm... you guys chat for a bit. I'll go prepare some things!"
Gu Jian Bao didn't know what the human was up to, but the other three Pokemon did.
Watching Straight Tree walk away, Gurdos laughed and said, "Mou mou!" (You won't be affected by the calamity force from now on!)
Gu Jian Bao paused, taken aback.
Back in the living room, Straight Tree released Xiao Fu Egg from its Poke Ball and handed it over to his sister, Ai Guanshi.
"Sister, this is Xiao Fu Egg. I met it outside just now. Can you show it around our ranch?"
Ai Guanshi curiously looked at the Pokemon and happily agreed. "Ai yi~"
Straight Tree turned to Xiao Fu Egg and said, "Xiao Fu Egg, this is my sister, Ai Guanshi. The other one is my brother, Ai Guanshi. They are our butlers. Go ahead and let them introduce you to everyone at the ranch, okay?"
"Ku ku!" Xiao Fu Egg, still clutching its Poke Ball, happily nodded in agreement.
The two Pokemon left together.
Holding the cup, Straight Tree went in search of Gu Jian Bao.
On the ranch, the four Calamity Pokemon were gathered together. Gurdos stood tall, while Gu Yu Yu rested in its cauldron, Gu Jian Bao lay on the grass, and Gu Jian Bao dozed off, looking drowsy. Ancient Tortterra was listening intently to Ancient Miltank's words.
When Straight Tree approached, the three Pokemon turned their gazes towards him.
Gu Jian Bao had heard everything from Gurdos and Gu Yu Yu.
It looked at the human before it and spoke solemnly, "Gu Pao." (Thank you.)
Straight Tree smiled and shook his head. "No need to be so formal. Come on, drink this cup of tea."
At his words, Gu Jian Bao lowered its head to look at the cup of tea that had been pushed in front of it.
Was it this cup of tea that could dispel the Calamity Force that was the embodiment of greed and desire from its body?
After a moment of silence, Gu Jian Bao lowered its head and lapped up the black tea with its tongue.
As the last sip of tea was consumed by Gu Jian Bao, a dazzling light erupted from its body, and tendrils of black aura were released.
When the light faded, a snow-white leopard Pokemon with crystalline blue eyes and pink paw pads appeared before Straight Tree.
Gu Jian Bao was reborn!
What a cute snow leopard! Straight Tree suddenly felt the urge to reach out and stroke Gu Jian Bao's fur.
But there were more pressing matters at hand, so he quickly asked, "How do you feel? Do you notice any differences in your body?"
Gu Jian Bao furrowed its brow, carefully sensing the additional information that had appeared in its mind.
It hesitated before replying, "Gu Pao..." (I seem to have gained an entirely new power.)
"What is it?" Straight Tree inquired.
Gu Jian Bao explained, "Gu Pao." (My sword now possesses the power to vanquish evil spirits, and during winter, I can summon snow and bless the flowers, trees, and crops in the fields, ensuring their prosperous growth in the coming year.)
This was...
Straight Tree's mind immediately conjured up a phrase.
A blessing of snow foretells a bountiful harvest? And vanquishing evil spirits would likely be super effective against Ghost-type Pokemon.
For ordinary farmers, this was indeed a very useful ability.
After all, this world also had crops like winter wheat.
Moreover, it could be grown on the ranch, but Straight Tree felt that after working tirelessly for a year, he deserved a good rest during the winter, so he had never ventured into that area.
"Congratulations, Gu Jian Bao," Straight Tree said warmly.
His gaze shifted to Gurdos, Gu Yu Yu, and Gu Jian Bao, who were standing beside each other.
One had gained the ability to fertilize the soil, protect the peace of the land, and prevent disasters like earthquakes.
Another had acquired the power to bring blessings and good fortune to humans and Pokemon through its flames, as well as bestow luck upon those who sought its favor.
And the last one had the ability to provide nourishment to the nearby plants, nurture the growth of the forest, and ensure the abundance of flowers, fruit trees, and crops.
Coupled with Gu Jian Bao's blessing of snow, these four Pokemon embodied auspicious signs of prosperity and fortune.
Straight Tree felt that they could no longer be called Calamity Pokemon.
They should be known as the Auspicious Pokemon from now on.
No wonder the Reversal series of dishes were so extraordinary! What was once merely a concept had become a reality!
Straight Tree marveled at the transformation as he looked at the three Pokemon before him, excluding Gurdos, and asked, "What are your plans from now on?"
At his question, Gurdos, Gu Yu Yu, Gu Jian Bao, and the slow-moving Gu Jian Bao exchanged glances.
"Mou mou!" (Indeed!)
, exclaimed Gurdos. "I've already decided that I'll stay here and protect the peace of your ranch!"
Gu Yu Yu gently swayed its tail fin, its jade-shaped eyes fixed on Straight Tree as it spoke softly, "Gu Yu." (You rescued me from my seal and freed me from the Calamity Force. I have no way to repay your kindness, so I can only use my newfound power to contribute to this place. From now on, please take care of me, Straight Tree.)
Gu Jian Bao added, "Gu Xiao..." (I feel the same way.)
Gu Jian Bao yawned and rubbed its mouth, "Gu Xiao..." (The sunlight here is so comfortable. I just want to lie here and sunbathe all day... zzZ!)
Gu Jian Bao fell asleep.
Straight Tree: "..."
The last one, Gu Jian Bao, looked intently at the human before it.
After a moment, it calmly spoke, "Gu Pao." (We were afflicted by the Calamity Force due to the greed of humans, but you did not treat us as precious treasures to be coveted. Instead, you regarded us as ordinary Pokemon.)
Gu Jian Bao's mind flashed with the memory of being struck down by Straight Tree's Pokemon.
Moreover, he had helped dispel the Calamity Force from its body, and it had long since accepted him.
With that in mind, Gu Jian Bao continued, "Gu Pao." (Therefore, I am also willing to stay here.)
