Chapter 521: Creating a Snowland Habitat
Chapter 521: Creating a Snowland Habitat
What else could he do? Naoki heaved a helpless sigh and released Articuno and Moltres, resuming the previous topic.
"Articuno, there's something else I'd like to ask of you," Naoki said.
"Freezer?" Articuno looked at him questioningly.
Naoki observed the changes in its body and asked, "The bun you ate earlier should have enhanced the ice-attribute energy within you, right?"
Judging by the improvement seen in Zapdos after eating the lightning bun, Articuno and Moltres would likely experience similar gains.
Indeed, just as Naoki expected, the Articuno before him nodded.
"Freezer!"
That's right, the ice-attribute energy within it had increased by at least 40% compared to before!
"Then there's no problem." Naoki nodded. "You've all seen the World Tree, right? I plan to create a snowy land suitable for Ice-type Pokemon to live in, so I need to borrow your power."
By using the move Blizzard to bring about a snowfall, eventually covering the entire tree layer, the World Tree would adjust the ecosystem and temperature according to the environment, completely transforming that layer into a snowfield.
After that, Articuno could live there directly.
As for Moltres... it could go straight to the volcanic area where Groudon resided.
"Freezer!" Articuno immediately indicated it was no problem, and such a task would be effortless for it.
"Alright." Naoki glanced at the time and saw it wasn't yet 9 pm, so he planned to go with them, "I have some time now, so I'll go with you."
Heading to the World Tree didn't require bringing anything, and a group of sleepless Pokemon wanted to come along and join in the fun.
Naoki had no choice but to take them with him.
The Frost Fairy, Partner Eevee, Mini Dragon, and Little Lucky Egg, all small Pokemon, climbed onto his body.
Butterfree, Baby Mudkip, and Dragonite could fly along behind them.
Puppitar, Motorbike Lizard, and Houndour rode on the three legendary birds.
Once everyone was ready, they set off towards the World Tree, passing through the Reverse World to reach the Explorer's Guild area.
Even though it was evening, the Explorer's Guild was still brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Pokemon who had worked hard in the fields all day, those who had spent the day picking berries to prepare food for everyone, and those who had been training with their partners to improve their strength were all gathered at the guild.
Some enjoyed sushi at Milidragon's sushi bar, while others drank tree fruit juice at Meowth and Pikachu's tavern. Still, some Pokemon were so exhausted that they returned directly to their huts and fell asleep in their nests.
Naoki even spotted several part-time Dragonites, probably from Dragonite Town below, visiting to hang out with their colleagues.
The Dragonites called out to their coworkers excitedly when they saw them.
As soon as Golethon landed, Naoki's Eevees skillfully scattered and joined the crowd of Pokemon.
Naoki: "..." He knew the Eevees had come to play.
"Chick?" Little Lucky Egg, perched on Naoki's shoulder, looked around with curiosity. Everything here seemed so lively!
Speaking of which, this was Little Lucky Egg's first time visiting this place!
Naoki smiled and introduced, "This is the World Tree, also part of our home. They are Pokemon from various places, and everyone lives together here."
"Chick..."
Little Lucky Egg's eyes sparkled, and with the Round Stone in its possession, it jumped down from Naoki's shoulder and eagerly looked around.
Everything here seemed so exciting!
"Go and play with everyone! I'll come and get you when I'm done," Naoki said with a smile.
Little Lucky Egg hesitated, "Chick?" Can I really?
It didn't know any Pokemon here!
Frost Fairy and Baby Mudkip took the initiative and walked up to Little Lucky Egg.
"Bubbles!"
"Mama!"
They offered to show Little Lucky Egg around!
Naoki smiled and said, "Then I'll leave Little Lucky Egg in your care!"
"Bubbles!" Baby Mudkip nodded and then left with Frost Fairy to show Little Lucky Egg around the facilities.
Naoki quietly left with Golethon and the others and took the World Tree elevator to the land of Groudon.
Bear Cub, Naoki's apprentice, was likely away training with Kyogre, as Naoki observed the volcano before speaking to Moltres.
"Moltres, from now on, this will be your home."
"Roaar..." Moltres, however, sensed something amiss, an unsettling feeling it had never experienced before. A terrifying aura seemed to emanate from the volcano.
The aura filled it with a sense of oppression like never before.
It looked left and right, quickly pinpointing the source of the aura—the volcano itself!
Just then, Groudon sensed the intruders and emerged from within.
The next second, the two Pokemon locked eyes.
A bold, emphasized exclamation mark appeared above Moltres' head.
!
"Don't worry, that's Groudon, the creator and master of this land. It won't harm you," Naoki assured Moltres.
"Roaar..." Moltres remained tense.
Naoki turned to Groudon, "Groudon, this is Moltres. It will be living here from now on, so please look after it for me."
After all, Moltres had entered a Poke Ball, making it one of his Pokemon now.
Hearing this, Groudon turned its golden-hued eyes towards the bird Pokemon.
It was indifferent to such matters.
After all, countless humans and Pokemon had made their homes in the lands it had created in the past.
Satisfied that there was no issue, Groudon turned and re-entered the volcano.
"Moltres, make yourself at home here. If you ever feel like having a meal, you can always head to the Explorer's Guild. For now, we'll be on our way." With that, Naoki turned to leave.
In the blink of an eye, Moltres was alone.
It warily eyed the volcano, its anxiety slowly easing as it realized the other Pokemon bore it no ill will.
Soon, it took to the skies and found a cave with flowing lava to settle in.
Meanwhile, Naoki had arrived at the next layer of the Land of Earth with Articuno.
This area remained untouched and untamed.
Lush vegetation and fertile soil dominated the landscape, a vibrant and lively sight.
Articuno looked at Naoki, unsure.
"Freezer?" It asked, hesitant. Was he sure about using Blizzard? Doing so would destroy everything here...
Naoki nodded firmly. "Go ahead. These plants won't die. They are a part of the World Tree, and when the snow falls, they will exist in a different form."
Assured by Naoki's words, Articuno nodded.
It took to the skies, its wings beating powerfully.
Specks of blue ice crystals scattered from its body, accompanied by a crisp cry. Suddenly, a bitter chill filled the air.
A violent blizzard swept through the sky.
Snowflakes, pure and white, fell in abundance, eventually blanketing the entire world.
Soon, the land transformed into a boundless snowfield, with tall snow-capped pines dotting the landscape. As the wind blew, the snow piled on the trees would shower down, revealing the lush green needles beneath.
Naoki couldn't help but imagine a group of Woolly Tuskers slowly making their way through the pine forest. As they lumbered along, the snow piled on the trees would shake loose, and the mother Woolly Tusker at the front might even stop to wait for her slower offspring.
This place was a perfect habitat for Ice-type Pokemon!
Articuno returned, circling in the air.
"You've done well, Articuno! Make this your home from now on," Naoki said.
"Freezer!"
Articuno nodded gently, content with its new home.
