Chapter 621: Little Tree's Adventure
Chapter 621: Little Tree's Adventure
Another day dawned, and the warm autumn sunlight bathed the ranch, awakening the Pokemon one by one from their slumber. They shook their heads, basking in the morning light as they played in the dew-covered grass.
The air was filled with the fragrant scent of rosemary, and the fields were laden with ripe fruits and lush foliage.
Several wild bird Pokemon perched on the roof tiles, resting and curiously observing the bustling scene below in the ranch.
Just then, the sound of a door opening emanated from the house.
The birds lowered their heads and spotted a man walking out with a fiery-red Pokemon. He turned back and said to someone inside, "We're off!"
A female voice replied from within.
"Go ahead, and be safe on the way!"
Shizuru reached out and pinched Qi Shu's cheek, who was holding Little Tree in her arms, and said, "Little Tree, be a good girl and listen to your mother at home, okay? Dad has to go to work."
But Little Tree was too young to understand the concept of work, yet she could sense that her father was about to leave.
Her large, round eyes instantly filled with tears, and she pitifully reached out her hand, wanting her father to hold her.
"Pappa!"
Shizuru: "..."
Today was Saturday, a day off for the Light Brewing Gym, and also the day Shizuru had to attend classes at Blueberry Academy.
But seeing Little Tree like this, Shizuru felt helpless.
"I promised someone, and I must keep my word. Fireant and Emperor Flame will play with you, okay?" He asked, "Or let Pterafly carry you and fly high."
Little Tree became even more upset and burst into tears. She didn't want her father to leave!
Qi Shu quickly tried to comfort the child, "Your mother and Elekid will play with you, okay? Dad has to go to work but will be back soon."
However, Little Tree was very determined.
Previously, she was too young to crawl or speak, so every time Shizuru left for work, she would be asleep, and when she woke up, there were always Pokemon around to take care of her.
Now, Little Tree was almost ten months old and had some awareness of the Pokemon and people around her.
Every day before this, Shizuru had stayed at the ranch to keep her company, but now he was suddenly leaving, and Little Tree, being a child, felt an overwhelming sense of panic.
"This child, I've been at home every day, and I haven't seen you this clingy before." Shizuru poked her little face and said, "Dad won't leave; he'll always be by your side."
Little Tree's anxiety lessened, and her crying gradually subsided.
Seeing this, Shizuru comforted her for a while and then asked, "Do you want to play with Motolizard?"
Motolizard, standing nearby, nodded, "Gaoh!"
Little Tree looked at Shizuru and then at Motolizard, reluctantly agreeing.
Shizuru gently placed her on Motolizard's back, and once she held on tightly, Motolizard began to run on all fours.
Children's attention is easily diverted, and with this distraction, Little Tree became fully engrossed in riding Motolizard.
Witnessing this, Shizuru heaved a sigh of relief and then said to Qi Shu, "Alright, I'm off to work then."
"Go ahead!"
Qi Shu nodded. Today, she didn't have to work and planned to stay home to spend time with her child.
"Gogoat, let's go!"
"Ahgashi!"
Shizuru mounted Gogoat and slowly ascended into the sky. The scenery below gradually shrank as he soared high above the ground, gazing at the now-transformed Ziqin Town and the recently constructed Ziqin Port, where ships from all over the world were docked.
Seeing this, Shizuru couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
When he first arrived here, Ziqin Town was just a small seaside town, and now it had developed significantly.
Shizuru retracted his gaze and rode Gogoat towards Blueberry Academy.
In the ranch, Motolizard took Little Tree to her favorite flower field.
It used its head to part the flower bushes and then burrowed its way through, leisurely strolling among the vibrant, blooming flowers.
Unsurprisingly, Little Tree's attention was captured by the beautiful flowers and the Tri Bee collecting nectar above.
The blue sky, white clouds, and vibrant flowers.
Little Tree's eyes sparkled with curiosity and childlike wonder as she gazed at the surroundings, which resembled a picturesque painting. She experienced the beauty of the scene, unable to express her feelings and thoughts due to her young age, causing her to excitedly clap her hands as a means of communication.
Motolizard, carrying its young master, also felt delighted seeing her reaction.
Just then, Motolizard raised its head and spotted several butterflies fluttering through the flower bushes, eventually settling on a flower.
"Gaoh!"
Motolizard's eyes lit up. If it could catch the butterflies and present them to its young master, she would surely be thrilled!
So, Motolizard stopped and placed Little Tree on the soft grass, telling her to wait there, "Gaoh~" (Wait for me here~)
Little Tree blinked in confusion.
Motolizard turned around and started chasing the butterflies in the flower bushes.
Little Tree was amused by Motolizard's comical actions and giggled, clapping her hands.
But soon, Motolizard's figure disappeared into the flower bushes.
The surroundings gradually quieted down, and with no movement, Little Tree's laughter and clapping ceased.
She stared at the direction where Motolizard had vanished, blinking in a daze.
A moment later, Little Tree seemed to be drawn by something and flipped over, crawling in a particular direction.
She crawled through the dimly lit flowerbed, unsure how long she had been crawling when a bright light suddenly appeared ahead.
Little Tree parted the flowers, and in the next moment, the surroundings became illuminated.
Before her was a gazebo constructed with shelves, covered in clusters of flowers and vines, and in the center, a wrought-iron tea table and several chairs.
On one of the chairs sat a Pokemon resembling a rabbit but with an unusually large head.
It held a teacup in its right hand, basking in the warmth of the autumn sun, sipping its tea with elegance and contentment.
Little Tree was immediately captivated by this sight.
She remained in her crawling position, looking up with a blank expression at the tea-drinking Pokemon.
At that moment, the Pokemon seemed to sense her presence and turned its large head towards her.
On the other side of the flower field, after a great deal of effort, Motolizard finally caught a beautiful butterfly.
It looked at the butterfly fluttering its wings gently in its hand, feeling delighted.
"Gaoh!"
Its little master would surely love this butterfly!
The image of its master's smiling face appeared in its mind, and Motolizard turned around and ran back.
But when it returned to the spot, it was shocked to find the place empty.
Its master was gone!
Motolizard immediately tensed up, and as it loosened its grip, the butterfly seized the opportunity to escape, quickly disappearing into the depths of the flowers.
A surge of emotions, including self-blame, anxiety, and fear, overwhelmed Motolizard. It struggled to remain calm and frantically searched the surroundings.
It asked the Tri Bee nearby, who were collecting nectar, but they all shook their heads, indicating they hadn't seen anything.
"Gaoh..."
Motolizard panicked.
Seeing this, the Tri Bees stopped collecting nectar and prepared to help search the area.
Emperor Flame, Water Lord, and Thunder God sat on the outskirts of the garden, their massive sizes preventing them from entering without trampling the flowers planted by Shizuru.
So, after seeing Motolizard and Little Tree enter the flowerbed, they had been waiting there.
A gust of north wind brought a message, and Water Lord suddenly sensed a chaotic aura.
It stood up and said to the two beasts beside it, "It seems something has happened."
Indeed, the next moment, Emperor Flame noticed several Tri Bees flying around the flower field, seemingly searching for something.
Emperor Flame rose abruptly and summoned a Tri Bee, asking sternly, "What happened?"
The Tri Bee flapped its wings anxiously and replied, "Bzzz!" (Little Tree is missing!)
What?!
Upon hearing this, the Three Holy Beasts tensed up.
Among them, Thunder God furrowed its brows, almost ready to rush out to search, but Water Lord stopped it.
"When did this happen?" Water Lord asked.
Tri Bee: "Bzzz!" (Just now!)
Hearing this, Emperor Flame bent down, sniffed, and carefully distinguished Little Tree's scent from the dense and chaotic fragrance of flowers.
"The aura hasn't disappeared; it's nearby!" Emperor Flame said.
They followed the aura, and along the way, they encountered a self-blaming Motolizard, and the group of Pokemon continued their search together.
Soon, they reached the center of the vast flower field.
There, they saw Little Tree sitting on the wrought-iron tea table, playing with a teacup, giggling as Regigigas, Terror Gourd, and Sorrow Tea entertained her.
The Three Holy Beasts halted in their tracks.
Motolizard was overjoyed and rushed forward, "Gaoh!"
"Yiya!"
Little Tree appeared delighted to see Motolizard.
Motolizard heaved a sigh of relief.
"Gaoh..."
Upon seeing the situation, and considering that Little Tree had crawled out of the flowerbed alone earlier, Regigigas quickly understood what had happened.
A loving smile appeared on its face, and it said to the group of Pokemon,
"Don't worry, Little Tree. She was just playing with me here for a while."
The Three Holy Beasts were relieved, knowing that this Pokemon named Regigigas was even more powerful than their Phoenix King.
With its presence, Little Tree was undoubtedly safe.
Although the crisis had passed, Motolizard still couldn't fully shake off its worries.
If not for its mistake, this wouldn't have happened.
"Gaoh..."
Self-blame flooded its mind, leaving Motolizard feeling dejected.
Qi Shu soon learned about the incident at the ranch.
Seeing Motolizard's remorseful expression, she reached out and patted its head, comforting it,
"It's okay, Motolizard. Look, Little Tree is fine, right? And you caught the butterfly to make her happy!"
"Gaoh..." Motolizard still seemed a bit down.
Noticing this, Qi Shu thought carefully and then placed Little Tree in Motolizard's arms.
Little Tree wrapped her small arms around Motolizard's neck, and Motolizard instinctively hugged her.
Qi Shu asked, "So, will you let something like this happen again?"
Motolizard paused, then shook its head vigorously, "Gaoh!" Of course not!
A smile appeared on Qi Shu's face, "So, that's it!"
Motolizard was momentarily stunned, and after Qi Shu's reassurance, its worries vanished.
Indeed, as long as it protected its master and never let such an incident happen again, everything would be fine!
At that moment, Motolizard made a decision.
It would safeguard its master until she grew up.
In the distance, the Three Holy Beasts silently watched this scene.
The Pokemon did not involve themselves too deeply, for they knew their time with Little Tree was limited. Their duties as members of the Phoenix Guard Team awaited them, and they had many missions to fulfill in this world.
Despite their reluctance to leave Little Tree's side, they knew the day would come when she grew up and became the Rainbow Hero. They would have to part ways, and they couldn't always be by her side. Perhaps they would meet again in the future, but until then, new Pokemon would have to take their place in protecting her.
In a classroom at Blueberry Academy, Shizuru stood at the podium, gazing down at the students below. He was teaching them about weather tactics in Pokemon battles.
"There are various weather-based moves, such as Clear Sky Day, Rain Prayer, and Sandstorm. Each type of weather can be combined with specific Pokemon, abilities, and moves to create powerful synergies."
"For instance, during rainy weather, Water-type moves become significantly stronger, while Fire-type moves are weakened due to the abundant water energy in the air."
"Moreover, moves like Thunder and Hurricane become more accurate in the rain, allowing you to overwhelm your opponents."
"Can anyone tell me about other Pokemon abilities that synergize with rainy weather?" Shizuru asked.
The students below pondered, and Shizuru patiently waited for their responses.
Soon, one student raised their hand.
"I know, Teacher! Rain Dish Lotad can slowly recover its health in the rain!"
"Good, what else?" Shizuru encouraged the student with a nod.
"And Doduo with the Swift Swim Ability! It increases Doduo's speed!" another student added.
"Indeed," Shizuru affirmed, nodding in satisfaction. He gestured for the two students to sit down and continued, "In fact, aside from Lotad and Doduo, there are many other Pokemon in this world that react to rainy weather."
"These Pokemon are waiting to be discovered and utilized in battles. We can learn and strategically employ their abilities and moves, not just in the rain, but also during sunny days, hailstorms, and sandstorms. Our task is to study and make the most of the Pokemon we have to formulate effective tactics."
The students' eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, absorbing this valuable knowledge. Shizuru, a champion-level Trainer, truly lived up to his reputation as a teacher.
"Teacher Shizuru!" one student raised their hand.
"Yes?" Shizuru arched an eyebrow.
"Um... could you have a Pokemon battle with us?" the boy asked, a bit shyly.
"You want to battle me?" Shizuru was surprised but quickly understood their eagerness. He smiled and said, "Sure!"
After a moment's thought, Shizuru proposed, "How about this? Next week, I'll hold a competition at the Academy, giving everyone a chance to battle me. The top three who last the longest against my Pokemon will receive a special gift from me!"
A gift?
At this, the students' eyes widened with anticipation.
"You can use any Pokemon, moves, or even hold items," Shizuru added.
"Awesome!" Urui, among the crowd, clenched his fist in excitement.
He was determined to train hard for the next seven days to earn Shizuru's gift!
Even the usually laid-back Danyu felt a surge of motivation, curious about Shizuru's gift.
After class, Shizuru returned to his office. He sat at his desk, chatting with Qi Shu about the ranch using his Rotom Phone. Upon learning about Motolizard's near mishap with Little Tree, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Motolizard feels so guilty for almost losing Little Tree!" Gogoat exclaimed.
Shizuru inquired further, only relaxing when Qi Shu assured him that Motolizard had recovered from the incident.
After teaching a class, Shizuru felt thirsty and went to get a glass of water.
On his way back, he overheard two teachers chatting in the adjacent room.
"It seems Teacher Anya didn't come to work today."
"I heard something happened in the Alola Region. Teacher Anya stayed home to protect her family."
"Alola? Isn't that where Super Evolution is all the rage these days? What happened?"
"You didn't know? A group called Team Flareblaze wants to destroy the world. Former Johto Champion Zufuchi Daigo teamed up with Kanto Champion Ryudou and Alola Champion Karunae to stop them. It happened just yesterday."
"Team Flareblaze tried to capture Legendary Pokemon, but they disrupted Alola's ecological balance, causing chaos. Thankfully, the Champions were there to intervene."
"Sigh, what's with all the craziness these days? Instead of living harmoniously with Pokemon, some people want to either destroy or rule the world." One teacher sighed.
Shizuru remained silent, thinking to himself that things would improve next year.
The Alola Region didn't have any genuine evil organizations, and the same was true for the Galar Region that followed. It would then be his turn in the Paldea Region.
However, unlike other regions, these three regions lacked true evil organizations. They only had petty thugs and overzealous fans.
What caught Shizuru's attention was the premature conclusion of the Alola storyline. Was it because he had revealed the plot to Daigo?
