Chapter 637: Kachi, Does Your Family's Ranch Also Raise Champion-Level Pokemon?
"Lily!"
Upon seeing Lily faint, Satoshi and the others rushed over, calling out her name.
"What's wrong with this child?" Qi Shu asked, stepping forward.
"Lily doesn't know why, but she's especially afraid of Pokemon!" Mao quickly answered Qi Shu's question, "When she was at school, if a Pokemon got close, Lily would be so scared that she'd turn to stone on the spot!"
"..."
Indeed, she was just like the Lily he knew.
Shizuru stepped forward to check on Lily, then assured everyone, "Don't worry, she's fine. She just fainted from fear. She'll be alright after some rest."
After saying this, Shizuru looked at the sister Eguipung by his side and said, "Sister, please help this guest to the room to rest."
"Aye~!" Sister Eguipung readily agreed.
Using her psychic power, Eguipung helped Lily into the room and placed her on the guest bed.
Satoshi and the others also heaved a sigh of relief upon learning that Lily was fine.
Suddenly, Satoshi noticed three familiar figures not far away.
His eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "There's Entei, Raikou, and Suicune, too!"
Hearing the voice, the three Legendary Beasts shifted their attention from the toy-playing Xiaoshu and turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Soon, they spotted a human they hadn't seen in a long time.
It was... Satoshi, the Hero of the Rainbow! The three Legendary Beasts remembered him; a few years ago, they had guided him to Azure Mountain to complete the Hero of the Rainbow's trial.
Meeting again in this place, the three Legendary Beasts couldn't help but look over.
Kachi, Mao, and the others also noticed the three unfamiliar Pokemon on the other side.
Everyone's faces showed confusion and bewilderment.
"Huh? Satoshi, do you know them?"
"Yes!" Satoshi nodded vigorously, "They are the Legendary Pokemon of the Kanto Region! The one on the left is the Electric-type Raikou, the middle one is the Fire-type Entei, and the one on the right is the Water-type Suicune!"
"Legendary Pokemon?!" Hearing this news, Mao and the others were so surprised that they covered their mouths.
"That's right, they are the legendary Pokemon!" Satoshi affirmed, then excitedly greeted the three Legendary Beasts, "Long time no see, Entei, Suicune, and Raikou!"
Entei's mane fluttered in the wind, and his posture exuded majesty, making him look awe-inspiring.
In response to Satoshi's greeting, Entei stared at him with his golden irises and then nodded slightly.
Shizuru raised an eyebrow at this scene, but soon he realized that the Satoshi of this world had gone to Azure Mountain and completed the Hero of the Rainbow's trial, which was why he knew Entei and the others!
It was at this moment that they noticed a little girl in the middle, protected by Entei, Suicune, and Raikou.
The girl had pink hair and bright, big eyes. She wore a skirt and was about one year old, looking incredibly cute.
"That's..." Mao was slightly taken aback, her gaze shifting to Mr. Shizuru and Miss Qi Shu. Could that child be...
As expected, the next second, Satoshi's voice answered her unspoken question.
Satoshi excitedly said, "Mr. Shizuru, is that Xiaoshu?"
"Yes." Shizuru smiled and nodded.
Satoshi ran forward, crouched down, and smiled warmly, "Hello, Xiaoshu! I'm Satoshi! My goal is to become a Pokemon Master!"
Xiaoshu looked at Satoshi with innocent eyes, seemingly not understanding what a Pokemon Master was.
"Xiaoshu, say hello to Satoshi," Shizuru prompted.
This time, Xiaoshu understood. She blinked and then opened her mouth, "Sato..."
"It's Satoshi!" This name reminded Satoshi of Hoopa, who also called him and Pikachu like that.
But Xiaoshu giggled, "Sato!"
"..."
Satoshi helplessly touched his forehead, "Alright, alright, Sato is fine!"
Xiaoshu giggled and clapped her hands.
"She's so cute!" Mao and the others watched this scene and also squatted down, smiling as they greeted Xiaoshu.
However, speaking of which, Mr. Shizuru was actually letting these three legendary Pokemon babysit...
The group suddenly realized this and looked at Entei and the others in surprise.
The chubby Mamane couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Mr. Shizuru was too amazing!
Shizuru was still delighted to have visitors at the ranch.
He exchanged a glance with Qi Shu and then brought out many snacks and drinks from the house to entertain Satoshi and his group.
Kachi's family also ran a ranch, so they weren't curious about it.
Mamane, Mao, and Mizu, who had never been to the meadow before, were fascinated by everything they saw there.
After a simple snack, the group eagerly began their tour of the meadow.
They approached the Riding Goats, and Mao couldn't help but ask, "The goat milk we just drank, was it produced by this kind of Pokemon?"
"Yes, that's right!" Satoshi enthusiastically helped Shizuru explain, "And these three Riding Goats are at the Champion level. When we were in the Paldea region, many people came to challenge them, but not a single one emerged victorious!"
"What?!" Mizu's face contorted into an exaggerated expression, and she asked in disbelief, "Champion-level Riding Goats?"
"Yes, that's right!" Satoshi nodded vigorously.
"Wow, does that mean the goat milk we just drank was produced by Champion-level Pokemon?" Mamane covered her mouth in exaggeration.
This Shizuru, instead of letting the Riding Goats shine in the League Tournament, actually had Champion-level Pokemon here to serve as milk-producing goats. How extravagant!
"Huh? Does the ability to produce milk in Riding Goats have anything to do with their strength?" Satoshi scratched his head in confusion.
"And it's not just the Riding Goats! Mr. Shizuru also uses Champion-level Pterafly to water the plants and Champion-level Babutap to manage the chickens!" Satoshi gave a few examples.
Mamane, Mao, and the others were all stunned.
They stood in place, momentarily unsure of what to say.
After a long while, Mao finally came back to her senses.
She looked at Kachi beside her and couldn't help but ask, "Kachi, does your family's meadow also have Champion-level Pokemon?"
A drop of cold sweat trickled down Kachi's forehead.
"..."
What a joke!
When Lily woke up from her unconscious state, she found herself lying on an unfamiliar bed.
She stared blankly at the ceiling above her, and it took a while before she realized what had happened.
She had fainted after being touched by a Pokemon!
Lily's face turned red with embarrassment. How embarrassing! But when that Eevee touched her, a strange yet familiar scene seemed to flash through her mind, possibly due to the shock.
In the scene, she seemed to be trapped by a Pokemon in a place, its tentacles tightly constricting her, making it hard for her to breathe...
"Ah!"
Lily cried out, her mind going blank, unable to recall what happened afterward.
"What's going on here?" Lily looked at her hands in confusion, murmuring to herself.
It felt like a dream, but why did it seem so real...
The surroundings were incredibly quiet, so quiet that Lily could almost hear her own breathing.
At that moment, a playful noise came from outside the window.
Lily got out of bed and walked to the window. Looking through it, she saw Satoshi and Kachi having a Pokemon battle downstairs.
Satoshi had sent out his Pikachu, battling against Shizuru's Raichu.
The battle was intense, and as Lily watched, she could tell the moves each Pokemon was using.
Satoshi's Pikachu started with Thunderbolt, and Shizuru's Raichu countered with its own Thunderbolt.
The electric energies clashed, and sparks flew across the battlefield.
But as the light faded, Raichu was slightly inferior.
Compared to Pikachu, that Raichu seemed to lack battle experience, something Lily noticed.
If this continued, Raichu would lose.
Just as Lily had predicted, the moment she saw Raichu at a disadvantage, Satoshi seized the opportunity to press his attack.
He had Pikachu use its Z-Move, Gigavolt Havoc, delivering the final blow to Raichu.
As expected, Raichu lost its ability to battle.
The battle ended, and Lily sighed in relief, thinking about how she should go downstairs to face so many Pokemon.
Just then, the sound of a door opening came from outside the room.
Lily turned around and saw a Nurse Joy, a Pokemon from the Galar region, opening the door and standing there, looking at her.
A female Nurse Joy, Lily's mind flashed with the information about her.
But then she became aware of her situation and froze, quickly calling out, "Wait a moment!"
The Nurse Joy, who had come to check on the guest, paused and looked at Lily in confusion, "Nurse Joy?"
"
It keenly sensed a feeling of fear in the air.
That guest was afraid of it!
"I'm so sorry!" Lily couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't mean to... I just..."
Nurse Joy remembered what Shizuru had said, and suddenly everything made sense.
"Oh, dear~!"
It gently backed away, closed the door, and left the room to give the guest some space.
Only after seeing the nurse leave did Lily finally breathe a sigh of relief.
If she had known, she would have worn protective gear.
But now didn't seem like the right time to bring this up; everyone was waiting downstairs for her, and she couldn't just stay up here alone.
That would be too impolite.
Gathering her courage, Lily cautiously left the room and descended the stairs.
As soon as she stepped outside, Mao's gaze immediately landed on her.
"Lily! Are you okay?"
Lily nodded and then turned to the group. She bowed, saying, "I'm so sorry for causing trouble!"
With Lily's arrival, the group lost their enthusiasm for continuing the Pokemon battle.
They gathered around the small wooden table prepared by Shizuru, eating snacks and drinking tea while inquiring about Lily's sudden fainting spell.
"Lily, what happened?" Mao couldn't help but ask.
Lily shook her head, "I don't know. I used to love Pokemon, but then something happened, and every time I see a Pokemon approaching, I feel terrified..."
Whenever a Pokemon came near, she uncontrollably felt her blood rushing and her body tensing up.
"Is that so..." Satoshi thought carefully, recalling the many experiences he'd had. Then, with seriousness, he said, "There must be a reason for this! Lily, can you remember what happened?"
"I don't remember," Lily shook her head. She hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "But when I fainted just now, I seemed to remember something."
Upon hearing this, everyone's attention immediately shifted to Lily.
Shizuru was especially shocked.
If he remembered correctly, Lily used to be a serious and polite girl who loved Pokemon.
Until one day, Lusamine took little Lily to play in the Ether Paradise, but unexpectedly, Zabo privately conducted an experiment that successfully opened the Ultimate Cavern.
This led to the Ultimate Beast UB01: Parasite escaping from the Ultimate Cavern and encountering Lily in the underground passage of Ether Paradise, where it attacked her.
Although Lily was eventually rescued, she lost her memory of that period due to the extreme shock and has been afraid to touch Pokemon ever since.
The instigator of all this, Zabo, concealed the truth from Lusamine for his own gain, causing a rift in their relationship, and they gradually grew apart.
As Lily pondered, she proceeded to tell everyone about what she had remembered during her fainting spell.
"I remember being attacked by a Pokemon... It was like a Manaphy Jelly, and it swallowed me whole..."
As she spoke, a look of fear appeared on Lily's face, as if the mere memory was causing her pain.
"A Pokemon like a Manaphy Jelly attacked Lily..." Satoshi thought carefully but couldn't figure out which Pokemon it could be.
Mao and Kachi had never heard of such a Pokemon either.
Even Manaphy Jelly wouldn't use a method of wrapping its prey to attack an enemy.
They were more adept at using poison for their attacks.
Unable to figure it out, Satoshi eventually turned to Shizuru for help.
"Mr. Shizuru, do you know what Pokemon Lily is talking about?"
Hearing this, Lily also turned to look at Shizuru.
Shizuru: "..."
He, of course, knew that UB01: Parasite, whose real name is "Voidwield," was an Ultimate Beast.
It is said that Voidwield possesses a powerful neurotoxin. Not only can it parasitize Pokemon or humans to survive, but the released neurotoxin can also control humans.
Seeing Shizuru's reaction, Satoshi's eyes lit up, realizing that Mr. Shizuru indeed knew something!
Shizuru, noticing Satoshi's gaze, felt helpless but eventually shared what he knew with everyone.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's an Ultimate Beast called 'Voidwield'."
"When I was young and traveling in the Alola region, I happened to encounter it. That Voidwield is very similar to the Pokemon Lily described."
