Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 519: The Three Divine Birds in Padiya

That is... Articuno and Moltres?
Naoki froze in place for a moment.

What's going on? Why did Articuno and Moltres suddenly come over?
At this time, Zapdos, Articuno and Moltres also discovered Naoki returning home.

The lightning bird flapped its wings and said, "Chirp!"

Articuno looked calm, standing there with its head held high, observing the so-called human.

Moltres narrowed its eyes and looked at the opponent, as if judging the opponent's strength and whether the opponent was worthy of its surrender.

However, the next second, Moltres's attention was attracted by the Pokémon next to the human.

It was a dragon Pokémon with gorgeous feathers, a huge body, strong muscles, and a wild aura.

As if it had noticed its gaze, the dragon Pokémon turned its head and looked over with its golden pupils.

The eyes of the bird and the dragon met in mid-air, and the strong pressure contained in them made Moltres shiver uncontrollably.

What a terrifying aura!

"What's going on?" Naoki's eyes wandered over Articuno and Moltres for a moment, and then he looked at Zapdos beside him.

Zapdos: "Chirp!"

Through the power of Tokiwa, Naoki sensed the thoughts of Zapdos.

It says: Articuno and Moltres can contribute their feathers to make steamed buns!
Hearing this, Naoki understood instantly.

It turns out that Zapdos used the steamed buns to attract Articuno and Moltres!

"Okay! I got it." Naoki said as he walked into the house.

Zapdos followed behind, while Articuno and Moltres were stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what the human meant.

Did he agree?
Seeing that Moltres and Articuno were not keeping up, Zapdos stopped and turned around.

"Chirp!"

"Buh-hi-hi?

“Ouch…”

The three bird Pokémon began to communicate.

Hearing the noise, Naoki looked back and saw Articuno and Moltres following over.

Naoki thought about it and said to them: "I can help you make steamed buns, but it's not free."

Hearing this, Articuno and Moltres instantly became alert.

What does this human want to do?
Naoki smiled and said, "Don't worry, you don't need to do anything extra, just give me a few more feathers from your body."

Flame Bird: "..."

Articuno: “…”

That's it? They thought it was something else!

Both bird Pokémon breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, they shed some feathers every year, and even if they fall off, they can grow back, so it's no big deal.

Therefore, Moltres and Articuno agreed decisively.

If what Zapdos said is true, then their strength will surely continue to improve...

"Buh-hi-hi!"

Articuno turned its head and pecked at the body twice with its beak, and soon pecked out a few feathers emitting beautiful blue ice crystals.

It handed the feathers to Naoki.

The Moltres on the side watched this scene, and then followed suit and pecked out a few orange feathers.

Naoki reached out to take it. As soon as he touched the Articuno feather, he clearly felt a slight chill.

The feathers of the Moltres exude a warm aura and feel warm to the touch.

Naoki glanced at it, and the next second, the information of the two feathers emerged in his mind.

[Flame Bird Feathers: Feathers that contain a lot of fire energy. They may be used to make food, but the effect is unknown.]

[Articuno's feathers: Feathers that contain a lot of ice energy. They may be used to make food, but the effect is unknown.]

"Okay, I'll go steam the buns for you right now. It will probably take five hours. Before that, please wait a moment," said Naoki.

Articuno and Moltres nodded, indicating that it was no problem and they could wait.

Seeing this, Naoki didn't say anything else.

He turned around and took Gulden back to the room.

Naoki's threshold for legendary Pokémon has been raised by Giratina and Rayquaza.

Seeing Pokémon like Articuno and Moltres again now doesn’t surprise him too much, but instead he can treat them with a normal attitude.

In the living room, the Rape Crown King was sitting on the sofa playing with his cell phone.

His younger sister, Ai Guanshi, has prepared a sumptuous dinner for Naoki.

Dragonite, Babu Tubo, Eruption, and Flutterfax have been waiting here long ago.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Frostmilk and Motorcycle Lizard immediately ran over excitedly and joined everyone.

"You guys eat first, I'll go take care of these feathers."

Naoki reached out and touched the head of the Babu dodder that flew over, then put a few feathers into his storage cabinet, took out only one, ground it into powder, mixed it with flour, and used it to steam buns.

At the same time, in the pasture.

Seeing that his work had been completed, Zapdos turned around and prepared to go take a look at the World Tree.

Seeing its movement, Moltres and Articuno, who were observing the surrounding situation, immediately turned their heads.

Articuno asked: "Where are you going?"

The lightning bird looked back at them and said, "Chirp." (World Tree.)
World Tree? What is that place? The two bird Pokémon were slightly stunned.

However, the Zapdos didn't say much. It just spread its wings and flew into the lake in the ranch.

Articuno and Moltres looked at each other and thought that there was nothing they could do if they stayed here, so they might as well go and take a look.

So, the two bird Pokémon followed closely behind.

When they followed the Zapdos across the mirror-like lake, the surrounding scene changed drastically the next second.

The original pasture disappeared, replaced by a world full of death and desolation!
There are many broken islands floating in the void, some of which are planted with flowers, plants and trees.

where is this place?
Articuno and Moltres were a little flustered because they felt a very powerful aura here!

The owner of that breath is an existence that they are far beyond their reach!

However, the Zapdos seemed to feel nothing and continued to fly forward.

Articuno and Moltres quickly followed.

"Buxiyi?" (Aren't you afraid?) asked Articuno.

Zapdos glanced at it, and then replied, "Chirp." (That's Giratina, Naoki's friend, and he won't hurt us. This is the road to the World Tree, and we can travel here at will on weekdays.)
After hearing this, Articuno wanted to say something else.

However, an exit emitting green light appeared in front.

Zapdos: "Chirp!" (We're here!)
The two bird Pokémon followed Zapdos through the light.

Then they came to a place full of birdsong and flowers.

There are dense woods, fertile green meadows, heavy fruits hanging on the branches, many tender flowers blooming in the woods, and a lake as clear as a mirror located in this beautiful forest.

The sky is reflected in the lake, and the golden sunlight shines through the mottled shadows of the trees into the woods, as if covering the entire forest with a layer of dreamy veil.

Seeing this dreamland, Articuno and Moltres' eyes were filled with shock.

What a rich natural scent!

What on earth is this place?!

Zapdos turned to look at the two bird Pokémon who had never seen the world, and then said, "Chirp." (This is the World Tree, the tree that Naoki planted for us.)
"Buxiyi?!" Articuno was shocked. This tree was actually planted by that human?
Moltres also opened his eyes wide: "Oho?" (For you? He likes you so much?)

Lightning Bird: "..."

It corrected, "Chuck." (Not just me, but all the Pokémon in this tree.)
If Naoki is willing, Zapdos feels that all the Pokémon living on this tree would be willing to become his Pokémon.

However, Articuno misunderstood the meaning of these words.

"Buxiyi?!"

That human is so kind to the Pokémon he captured...

A big tree suitable for Pokémon to live in was planted specifically for them so that they can live here.

With such a rich natural atmosphere, this place is simply a paradise for Pokémon!

Articuno and Moltres felt extremely envious.

If only they could...

At this time, the lightning bird continued to fly forward.

Articuno and Moltres followed behind, flying over the forest.

On the way, they indeed saw some Pokémon below.

There were several wood geckos, Venusaur and Tropical Dragon. They were picking fruits in the orchard, and then put the fruits on the back of the unicorn to transport them to other places.

Continuing forward, Articuno and Moltres saw another large field full of crops.

Water-attribute Pokémon such as Blastoise, Milotic, and Vaporeon are standing in the fields, using the Water Gun move to water the crops.

Moltres, who had come into contact with humans before, was very surprised.

"Oho?!" (These were also planted by Naoki?!)

Zapdos: “Chirp.” (No, this is what Naoki taught us to plant. Everyone can use their own power to plant crops, pick fruits, and fill their stomachs.)
Moltres was stunned: "Oh?" (Will Naoki come over here?)

Lightning Bird: "Chirp." (Naoki said that when he gets old, he will come here and live with everyone.)
As they were talking, the three Pokémon passed through the farmland area and officially arrived at the Pokémon Guild.

Here, Moltres and Articuno met various Pokémon.

Pikachu, Meowth, Golduck, Ninetales, Jigglypuff, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Sandslash, Nidoking...

There are things they have seen, and there are also many things they have not seen.

These Pokémon were running around leisurely below, some were running shops in human facilities, and some were sitting on the benches next to the park fountain to rest.

"Buxiyi?!" (Where the hell is this place?!) Articuno looked at the scene in disbelief.

The lightning bird looked at the lively scene below, and then introduced: "Chirp." (Welcome to the Guild Headquarters of the Hero Expedition Team.)
*
Naoki Ranch, 8:00pm.

The lights in other ranches had dimmed, but the ranch was brightly lit.

The Ai Guanshi siblings and Sai Fuhao went to the Pokémon Tavern early and entertained the Pokémon in the town and the wild Pokémon passing by.

Naoki stayed at home, steaming buns made with Articuno and Moltres feathers.

In the living room, Gulden and Motor Lizard were lying on the carpet and yawning.

The Bud Crown King sat on the sofa and played with his mobile phone with great interest.

Naoki was having a video call with Sirona.

Naoki was very surprised to see Sirona suddenly contact him.

He pressed the answer button and Sirona's face appeared on the screen.

"Ms. Sirona? What's the matter with you calling me at this time?" Naoki asked.

Shirona nodded, and a look of confusion and bewilderment appeared on her seemingly cold face.

"Mr. Naoki, I have a question for you. Are those things that Giratina said true? They are very different from the history I have investigated..."

Hearing this, Naoki was slightly stunned: "What?" Sirona and Giratina are in contact?
"You don't know?" Sirona was a little surprised.

Naoki shook his head. He had been busy playing games and improving his rank these past two days, and hadn't paid much attention to Giratina.

Seeing this, Sirona thought for a moment, and then said, "Giratina posted a message on the forum this morning, saying that Arceus, the God of Creation, is a Pokémon that is born evil. It won't be long before He wakes up, and then He will destroy mankind."

Naoki: "..."

An indescribable expression appeared on his face. "Were these sent by Giratina?"

Sirona nodded seriously.

Naoki was completely silent.

Is Giratina crazy? Why is it making up rumors about Arceus?!
Naoki quickly opened the Pokémon forum and clicked on Giratina's personal homepage.

Then, he saw the post from Giratina on it.

The post has received 30 million likes and seven-digit comments, and has become a hot topic, exploding in popularity.

This means that at least 30 million people around the world have seen this rumor.

Giratina went crazy.

Sirona observed Naoki's expression and asked tentatively, "Is what Giratina said true?"

Naoki: "..."

"No, I think you who are familiar with the history of the Sinnoh region should know." Naoki shook his head: "A few hundred years ago, when the Sinnoh region was still called the Washi region, a terrible disaster occurred."

Sirona was slightly stunned.

"Is it related to the Xicui era?" she asked hurriedly.

"I have seen relevant records in some ancient ruins. That disaster was caused by Giratina teaming up with a human in order to avenge Arceus. They planned to destroy the world created by Arceus."

"Based on this incident, it's not hard to guess that the relationship between Giratina and Arceus is not good."

Giratina and Arceus have a bad relationship?

Why was this happening? Sirona was immediately drawn to this matter.

Then, she realized why Giratina sent that false message.

This is also Giratina's way of taking revenge on Arceus!
"Mr. Naoki, do you know the reason?" asked Sirona.

"I'm not sure, but I think it's probably because of favoritism?" Naoki shook his head: "Arzeus created Giratina and Dialga and Palkia who control time and space at the same time."

"Dialga and Palkia can freely live in this beautiful world, but Giratina was banished to a ruined world. According to the records in the data, it is an empty dimension full of death and nothingness."

Sirona fell into deep thought.

At this moment, a "ding" sound suddenly came from the living room.

That was the alarm Naoki set, which meant the steamed buns were cooked.

Naoki glanced over there and said, "I still have something to do, so let's stop here today! If you find any ancient books that record myths and legends, remember to show them to me. Maybe I can help interpret them."

"I understand. Thank you very much for your help today." Sirona thanked her politely.

Naoki smiled, then hung up the phone nonchalantly, walked to the kitchen and lifted the lid of the pot.

A cloud of milky white steam gushed out from it.

In the steam, there are two rows of plump and round steamed buns.

One row is icy blue, the other is flaming orange.

The frozen steamed buns and flame steamed buns are ready!

Naoki looked down, and the next second, their information appeared in his mind.

[Frozen Bun (S+): A legendary dish made from feather powder from a legendary Pokémon. It is said that eating it will allow one to control ice.

Cooking effect: God of Ice. After eating it, the Pokémon will gain the power of ice and snow, and can control ice and snow at will like the master of the feather, freezing the moisture in the air and causing snowflakes to fall. It is limited to ice-type Pokémon, and a Pokémon can only be eaten once.

[Flame Bun (S+): A legendary dish made from feather powder from a legendary Pokémon. It is said that eating it will allow one to control fire.

Cooking effect: God of Fire. After eating it, the Pokémon will gain the power of fire, and be able to control the fire at will like the master of the feather, using the fire to override everything it sees and bring warmth to the earth. It is limited to Fire-type Pokémon, and a Pokémon can only be eaten once.
