Chapter 552: Fairy Eevee and the "Malevolent Dragon"

Fairy Eevee wrapped a ribbon around the cup and brought it to her mouth, her beautiful blue eyes filled with anticipation.

Flying Gardevoir used her Wing Claw to pick up the cup, her expression looking especially solemn. In her memory, something with such a strange color was not drinkable...

But Shizuru said it was fine, so it should be okay, right?

Ice Eevee squatted on the floor, and while she didn't have any particular thoughts about the blue Frost Melon Juice, she found the color to be quite beautiful.

Mismagius was delighted with the atmosphere of drinking juice together. She struggled to lift the cup as tall as herself with her small hands and cheered happily.

Pidove wasn't picky about food at all. As soon as Shizuru said it was drinkable, she immediately grabbed the cup with her large claws and started gulping it down.

Skiddo looked left and right as if waiting to drink with everyone else.

Fertility King picked up the cup with his hand and gently sniffed the contents. He had expected the taste to be awful, but to his surprise, it was quite pleasant.

Gogoat, on the other hand, casually picked up the cup.

"Alright, let's drink together!"

At Shizuru's command, the Pokemon in front of him raised their cups and started gulping down the juice.

Shizuru observed their reactions.

Unlike other dishes, this Frost Melon Juice didn't emit any glowing effects, and there were no noticeable changes after the Pokemon drank it.

"It seems the boost is a hidden effect," Shizuru thought to himself.

At that moment, Fairy Eevee looked down at her body and asked expectantly, "Bii Bii?!" (Can I become the hero who defeats the Malevolent Dragon now?!)

Shizuru: "..."

"That's just a fairy tale from the Galar Region, and there aren't any Malevolent Dragons around here anyway." He explained to Fairy Eevee with a sigh.

Hearing this, Fairy Eevee instinctively turned her gaze to Gogoat, Skiddo, and Pidove.

Pidove immediately spoke up in her defense, "Woof Woof!" (I'm not a Malevolent Dragon Pokemon!)

Skiddo looked adorably confused, "Gaoh?" Was she a Malevolent Dragon?

Gogoat was speechless, "Ah gah..."

"Bii..." Fairy Eevee thought carefully and realized that none of them seemed to be Malevolent Dragons.

Shizuru's feelings at this moment were exactly the same as Gogoat's. He paused to recall and then said, "Maybe something like that happened a long time ago?"

"Bii?" Fairy Eevee immediately looked up.

Shizuru continued, "A long, long time ago, humans and Pokemon didn't have the harmonious relationship they do now."

"Back then, humans called Pokemon 'Monster Pokemon' and considered them terrifying, always keeping their distance. Pokemon, in turn, were also cautious of humans."

"So, when humans encountered Dragon Pokemon, they would be attacked. Perhaps because of this, humans called them Malevolent Dragons."

"Bii?" Fairy Eevee asked anxiously, "Are there no Dragon Pokemon attacking humans now?"

"I don't know. At least, all the Dragon Pokemon I've encountered have been very docile, like Gogoat, Skiddo, and Pidove." Shizuru replied.

"Moreover, in modern times, humans and Pokemon have already integrated into each other's lives, and some things have even been imprinted on their brains and genetic makeup."

For example, many wild Pokemon know about Poke Balls and human Trainers.

Hearing this, Fairy Eevee felt disappointed. She had wanted to defeat the Malevolent Dragon with her own strength, save humans, and become a hero!

Shizuru also felt helpless about this.

"Then there might not be a way," Shizuru said.

At least, he hadn't seen any.

There might be some, like naturally aggressive Dragon Pokemon like the Three-Headed Dragon, but they wouldn't encounter them in the Paldea Region either.

"Bii..."

Fairy Eevee left disappointedly.

She played with the other Eevees in the pasture for a while and then headed to the World Tree.

Kyurem, who lived on the World Tree, loved the Eevees from Shizuru's ranch. Seeing the Eevees visiting the Expedition Guild, Kyurem flew down and joined them.

The passionate Fire Jibby, the elegant Sun Jibby and Moon Jibby, the gentle Leaf Jibby, and the excitable Thunder Jibby...

Everyone was having fun playing as usual.

At that moment, Kyurem suddenly noticed Fairy Eevee nearby.

Fairy Eevee was lying on the grass, her ribbon hanging limply beside her, looking very dejected.

Kyurem floated over to Fairy Eevee, circled her once, and asked, "Fairy Eevee, what's wrong?"

"Bii..." Fairy Eevee sighed.

Huh? Malevolent Dragon Pokemon? Kyurem blinked, her eyes full of innocence, and asked, "Do you want to defeat the Malevolent Dragon Pokemon and become a hero?"

"Bii!" Fairy Eevee nodded enthusiastically, but soon she slumped back down, dejected. "Bii..." (But Shizuru said that there are no more Malevolent Dragon Pokemon in this world...)

Malevolent Dragon Pokemon...

Seeing this, Kyurem thought carefully and quickly came up with an idea. It happily said to Fairy Eevee, "That's not necessarily true! Let's go ask Phoenix! Phoenix has been to many places and knows a lot of things!"

"Bii?!" Fairy Eevee was taken aback.

So, Fairy Eevee left the Eevee squad and, led by Kyurem, arrived at the top of the World Tree.

On a sturdy branch covered in clusters of gigantic leaves, Fairy Eevee saw the Pokemon named Phoenix.

Phoenix was gripping a lower branch with its two powerful claws, its eyes tightly shut, and the two circles of black eyeliner made it look like it had dark circles from not waking up.

As if sensing their arrival, Phoenix suddenly opened its eyes and looked towards them.

"Why have you two come here?" Phoenix asked.

It had just returned from the outside to the World Tree to rest and help itself see the potential in Shizuru, who it deemed worthy of becoming the Rainbow Hero.

Once everything was done, it would embark on a new journey to find suitable humans who could become the Rainbow Hero and bestow upon them the Rainbow Feather.

"We have something we'd like to ask you, Phoenix!" Kyurem replied happily.

"Oh?" Phoenix looked at Kyurem and then at the Pokemon sitting on the branch.

"It's about the Malevolent Dragon Pokemon!" Kyurem explained in detail: "Fairy Eevee wants to defeat the Malevolent Dragon, become a great hero, but Shizuru said that there are no more Malevolent Dragon Pokemon in this world, so we thought to come and ask you!"

Upon hearing this, Phoenix was slightly taken aback.

"Malevolent Dragon Pokemon?"

"That's right!" Kyurem nodded repeatedly.

Fairy Eevee looked up at the sacred Pokemon in front of her, hesitated, and then nodded as well.

Phoenix wore an all-knowing expression, and after a moment of thought, it began to carefully recall its experiences from its travels.

Fairy Eevee and Kyurem waited quietly by the side.

After a while, Phoenix spoke again, "I have indeed heard of such a creature."

Upon hearing this, Kyurem and Fairy Eevee's eyes lit up.

Phoenix continued, "It's a Dragon Pokemon that lives deep in the mountains. Legend has it that it arrives with blizzards, eats the children of the town, and not only that, but it can also control the ice, freezing nearby humans and Pokemon into ice sculptures, so no one dares to approach its lair."

"Bii..."

Phoenix's dignified voice gradually painted a terrifying picture in Fairy Eevee's mind.

In the dead of night, a colossal Malevolent Dragon with crimson eyes descended upon a town amidst a blizzard.

Fear engulfed the entire town, and the residents scattered in all directions. A child slipped on the icy snow and became separated from their parents.

The Malevolent Dragon took advantage of the situation and swallowed the human child in one bite...

"Bii!" How terrifying! Fairy Eevee shivered involuntarily.

When Shizuru told her the story, it was just a passing remark, not scary at all. But now, Phoenix's detailed description made it seem like it had experienced it firsthand...

"Even so, do you still intend to challenge it?" Phoenix turned its gaze towards Fairy Eevee.

After much hesitation, Fairy Eevee finally nodded, "Bii... Bii!"

Yes, yes! She wanted to defeat it, save the frozen humans, and become a great hero, just like in the stories!

However, Fairy Eevee's heart still felt fearful. Saying it and actually doing it were two completely different things.

Could she truly defeat that Malevolent Dragon?

If she failed, would she be eaten by the Malevolent Dragon and never return home, never seeing Shizuru and the others again?

Yet, Phoenix seemed to see through her thoughts and didn't continue the topic. Instead, it said, "You still have doubts in your heart. Come back once your resolve is firm!"

"Bii..."

Fairy Eevee left Phoenix's abode with a heavy heart and returned to the Expedition Guild below.

Kyurem quickly followed, flying around Fairy Eevee, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Don't you want to defeat the Malevolent Dragon and become a hero?"

Fairy Eevee hesitated for a moment and then shared her thoughts with Kyurem, "Bii..."

To be honest, she was a little scared.

Shizuru had always lived on the Shizuru Ranch, never having left the ranch or Shizuru's side.

According to the Phoenix's words, the Malevolent Dragon was undoubtedly a powerful Dragon-type Pokemon. If it were that easy to deal with, there would surely be many more heroes in the world.

Currently, it couldn't even defeat an Ice Jibby, let alone the Blizzard Dragon.

Kyurem halted and asked again, "So, you're not going to challenge the Malevolent Dragon?"

"Bii Bii..."

"It's okay if you don't want to challenge it!" Kyurem comforted cheerfully. "Shizuru said that everyone should do what they want. If you don't want to become a hero, you can join the Adventure Team and explore the World Tree!"

The World Tree still had many unexplored lands. Sometimes, adventurers would form teams and venture into the lower regions, exploring the environment and the Tree Fruits growing there, documenting their findings.

Some Pokemon even considered moving there!

Fairy Eevee thought carefully and replied, "Bii Bii."

It decided to ask Shizuru for advice. Shizuru was like a parent to them, and they were sure he would give them good guidance.

Fairy Eevee immediately decided to return to the ranch.

Meanwhile, Shizuru was bathing a few large Pokemon at home.

Gogoat, Skiddo, and Pidove stood in a row on the grass, as Shizuru held a garden hose and sprayed their scales.

The Pokemon obediently stood still as Shizuru helped them bathe.

The next step, after wetting their bodies, was to lather them with shampoo. Shizuru took out Pokemon Shampoo from the department store and squeezed some onto his hand before applying it to Gogoat's body.

Gogoat couldn't help but giggle as it felt ticklish all over: "Ah gah see!"

In no time, its body was covered in white foam.

Shizuru had always used a shampoo that didn't lather much, and this was the first time using one that produced so much foam.

At first glance, the Pokemon looked like they were wearing cotton suits, and even their tails were covered in foam, leaving only Gogoat's golden eyes and some crimson scales visible.

Skiddo and Pidove watched curiously from the side, finding Gogoat's appearance hilarious.

Shizuru smiled and said, "You two are next!"

Skiddo and Pidove immediately widened their eyes in resistance, even wanting to turn and run away.

However, Gogoat wasn't going to let them escape. Before Shizuru could say anything, it leaped over their heads and blocked Skiddo and Pidove's path.

Foam flew everywhere, and the white "snow" fell to the ground.

Shizuru: "..."

"Come on, is it that scary? Bidoof and Bidoof were so happy when they took a bath yesterday!" he said.

Bidoof even played with the foam on its body.

Gogoat grabbed Skiddo and Pidove with its claws, pulling them back.

The two Pokemon looked resigned, allowing Shizuru to lather them with foam.

"Gah oh..."

"Ow..."

"Ah gah see!"

Little Nurse stood by, holding several bath towels and watching the scene with amusement.

"Little Nurse and Big Nurse bathe themselves," Shizuru pointed at them, "Look at you, covered in dirt from playing outside all day. The other day, when it rained, you came inside with muddy feet!"

Skiddo and Pidove looked pitiful.

Only Gogoat proudly puffed out its chest.

"Ah gah see!"

It wasn't talking about them because only it would run to the river to clean itself before returning home! Seeing Gogoat's appearance, Skiddo and Pidove couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Darn it! No wonder they saw this guy deliberately running to the river to wash his feet the other day. He was waiting there!

That bad dragon! Not telling them!

Shizuru smiled, watching the interaction between his Pokemon.

The harmony among his Pokemon was improving day by day.

"Alright, I'll rinse you off, and then you can go play!"

Shizuru used the water hose to rinse off the foam from the three Pokemon, then took the bath towels from Little Nurse and dried their bodies.

It was at this moment that Fairy Eevee, alone, ran back from the World Tree.

It found Shizuru and told him about what it had encountered on the World Tree and the rumor the Phoenix had shared about the Ice Malevolent Dragon.

"Bii Bii Bii!"

After listening, Shizuru paused slightly.

The description of an Ice Malevolent Dragon that invades human towns on snowy nights to devour children sounded so familiar...
