Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 552 Fairy Eevee and the "Dragon"

Fairy Eevee wrapped a ribbon around the cup and brought it to her lips, her pretty blue eyes full of anticipation.

Flutterfat picked up the cup with his wing claws, looking particularly solemn, because in his memory, this kind of strange-colored thing cannot be drunk...

But Naoki said it’s okay, so it should be okay, right?
Ice Eevee squatted on the floor. It didn't have any idea about the blue watermelon juice, but just thought the color was really beautiful.

Frosty Milk Fairy was very happy about the atmosphere of drinking juice with everyone. It tried hard to pick up the cup as tall as itself with its little hands and cheered happily.

Dragonite is not picky about food. If Naoki tells it to drink, it will drink it. Without even a second's hesitation, it just picks up the cup with its big paws and pours the drink into its mouth.

The motorcycle lizard looked left and right, as if waiting to drink with everyone.

The Rape Crown King picked up the cup and sniffed the scent inside. He thought it would taste terrible, but it turned out to be surprisingly good.

And Gulden picked up the cup carelessly.

"Okay, let's drink together!"

Following Naoki's order, the group of Pokémon in front of him raised their cups and started drinking from them.

Naoki was observing the appearance of these Pokémon.

Compared with other dishes, this cup of frozen watermelon juice does not have any glowing special effects, and there is no obvious change after being drunk by Pokémon.

"It seems that the improvement is implicit." Naoki thought to himself.

At this time, Fairy Eevee looked down at its body and asked expectantly: "Buee Buee?!" (Can I become the hero who defeats the dragon?!)
Naoki: "..."

"That's just a fairy tale circulating in the Galar region, and there are no evil dragons near us at all." He said helplessly to Fairy Eevee.

Hearing this, Fairy Eevee subconsciously turned his gaze towards Gulduron, Motor Lizard and Dragonite.

Dragonite immediately spoke up to defend himself: "Awooo!" (I'm not a dragon Pokémon!)
The motorcycle lizard has a cute look on its face: "Gaao?" Is it an evil dragon?

Therefore, Luton was speechless: "Ah, geez..."

"Buyi..." Fairy Eevee thought about it carefully and found that no one seemed to be a dragon.

Naoki's mood at the moment was exactly the same as Gulden's. He recalled for a moment and then said, "Maybe something like that happened a long time ago?"

"Buey?" Fairy Eevee immediately looked up.

Naoki continued: "A long, long time ago, there was no harmony between humans and Pokémon like there is now."

"At that time, humans called Pokémon "demon beasts" and believed that they were terrifying beings. They always stayed away from them, and Pokémon were mostly wary of humans."

"So when humans come into contact with dragon Pokémon, they will be attacked by them. Maybe it's for this reason that humans call them evil dragons?"

"Buey?" Fairy Eevee asked hurriedly. Are there no dragon Pokémon attacking humans now?
"I don't know. At least the dragon Pokémon I've seen are all very docile, like Gnathon, Motolilo, and Dragonite." Naoki said.

"Moreover, in modern times, humans and Pokémon have already integrated into each other's lives, and even engraved some things into their brains and genes."

For example, many wild Pokémon know about Poké Balls and human trainers.

Hearing this, Fairy Eevee felt very disappointed. It still wanted to use its own power to defeat the dragon, save mankind, and become a hero!

Naoki was also very helpless about this.

"Then there may be no way." Naoki said.

At least he hadn't seen it.

There may be some, such as some dragon Pokémon with ferocious nature, like the three-headed dragon, but they cannot be found in the Padia region.

"Buyi..."

Fairy Eevee left disappointed.

It played with the other Eevees in the pasture for a while, and then went to the World Tree.

Jirachi, who lives on the World Tree, likes the Eevees from Naoki Ranch very much. Seeing that the Eevees came to the Expedition Guild to play again, it took the initiative to fly down and join them.

The passionate Flareon, the elegant Sol and Umbreon, the gentle Leafeon, the fussy Jolteon...

Everyone was having fun playing around as usual.

At this moment, Jirachi suddenly noticed Sylveon beside him.

I saw Fairy Eevee lying on the grass, with the ribbons on his body hanging limply at his side, looking very lost.

Jirachi floated to Sylveon, flew around it, and asked, "Sylveon, what's wrong with you?"

"Buee..." Fairy Eevee sighed.

Huh? A dragon Pokémon?
Jirachi blinked and asked innocently, "Do you want to defeat the dragon Pokémon and become a hero?"

"Buee!" Fairy Eevee nodded with fighting spirit, but soon it lay down again and said sadly: "Buee..." (But Naoki said that there are no dragon Pokémon in this world anymore...)
Dragon Pokémon...

Seeing this, Jirachi thought about it carefully, and soon thought of something, and said to Fairy Eevee happily:
"That's not necessarily true! Let's go ask the Phoenix King! The Phoenix King has been to many places and knows a lot of things!"

"Buey?!" Fairy Eevee was surprised.

So, Fairy Eevee broke away from the main Eevee group and, under the leadership of Jirachi, came to the top of the World Tree.

On a thick branch with clusters of huge leaves, Fairy Eevee saw the Pokémon named Ho-Oh.

The Phoenix King was grabbing the branch below with his two powerful claws, his eyes were closed, and the two black circles under his eyes looked like dark circles caused by not waking up from sleep.

As if he had sensed someone's arrival, the Phoenix King suddenly opened his eyes and looked over here.

"What are you two doing here?" asked the Phoenix King.

It had just returned to the World Tree from the outside not long ago, and planned to have a good rest here, and by the way, do a favor for Naoki, who it had its eyes on and had the qualifications to become the Rainbow Hero.

When everything is over, it will start a new journey again, looking for suitable humans who can become Rainbow Warriors, and give them its rainbow feathers.

"We have something we want to ask you, Ho-Oh!" Jirachi replied happily.

"Oh?" Ho-Oh looked at Jirachi, then at the Pokémon squatting on the branch.

"It's about the dragon Pokémon!" Jirachi explained in detail: "Sylvan Eevee wants to defeat the dragon and become a great hero, but Naoki said that there are no dragon Pokémon in the world anymore, so we wanted to ask you for advice!"

Hearing this, Feng Wang was slightly stunned.

"Dragon Pokémon?"

"That's right!" Jirachi nodded repeatedly.

"Buee..." Fairy Eevee looked up at the sacred Pokémon in front of it, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

The Phoenix King had a look as if he saw through everything. After a little thought, he began to carefully recall his experiences when he was traveling.

Sylveon and Jirachi waited quietly by the side.

After a long while, Feng Wang spoke again: "I have indeed heard of it."

Hearing this, Jirachi and Sylveon's eyes lit up.

Ho-Oh continued, "It is a dragon Pokémon that lives deep in the mountains. Legend has it that it comes with a blizzard and eats the children in the town. Not only that, it can also control ice and freeze nearby humans and Pokémon into ice sculptures, so that no humans or Pokémon dare to approach its residence."

"Bu-yi..." The majestic voice of Ho-Oh gradually outlined a terrifying picture in Fairy Eevee's mind.

In the town late at night, a huge dragon with red eyes descended with a blizzard.

Fear enveloped the entire town. People living in the town fled in all directions. Some children unfortunately slipped on ice and snow and were separated from their parents.

The evil dragon took the opportunity to swallow the human child into its stomach...

"Bu Yi!" So scary!
Fairy Eevee couldn't help but shudder.

When Naoki told it the story before, he just said it in one sentence, which was not scary at all. But now the Phoenix King tells it in such detail, as if it had experienced it personally...

"Even so, do you still want to challenge it?" Ho-Oh turned his gaze to Sylveon.

After hesitating for a while, Fairy Eevee finally nodded: "Eevee, Eevee!"

Yes, that's right! It wants to defeat it and save those frozen humans, just like in the story, and become a great hero!

Having said that, Fairy Eevee still felt very scared in his heart. Saying it out loud and doing it personally are two completely different feelings.

Can it really defeat the dragon?

If it fails, will it be eaten by the dragon and never be able to return home and see Naoki and everyone else?
However, the Phoenix King seemed to see through its heart and did not continue the topic. Instead, he said:

"You still have concerns in your heart. Come back after you have firmed your faith!"

"Buyi..."

Fairy Eevee left the Ho-Oh residence worriedly and returned to the expedition guild below.

Jirachi quickly followed, flying around Sylveon, and asked in confusion:
"What's the matter? Don't you want to defeat the dragon and become a hero?"

Fairy Eevee hesitated for a moment, and then told Jirachi what he was thinking: "Eevee..."

To be honest, it's a bit scary.

It has lived on Naoki Ranch since it was a child and has never left Naoki and the ranch.

And from what Ho-Oh said, we can know that the evil dragon must be a powerful dragon Pokémon. If it is so easy to deal with, there must be many heroes in this world.

With its current strength, it can't even defeat Glaceon, let alone the dragon in the blizzard.

Jirachi paused and asked again: "Then you won't challenge the dragon?"

"Buyi..."

"It's okay if you don't want to challenge!" Jirachi comforted cheerfully, "Naoki said that everyone can do whatever they want. If you don't want to be a hero, you can join the expedition team and explore the world tree!"

There are still many undeveloped lands on this world tree. Sometimes people will form an expedition team and head to the area below to explore the environment and the fruits growing there, and record them.

Some Pokémon have taken a fancy to those places and are even planning to move there!

Fairy Eevee thought about it carefully, and then answered: "Eevee."

It plans to ask Naoki!
Naoki is like their father and mother, he can definitely give them some good advice!

Fairy Eevee immediately decided to return to the ranch.

At the same time, Naoki was bathing several large Pokémon at home.

The Gultron, Motorcycle Lizard, and Dragonite stood in a row on the grass. Naoki held the garden water gun and washed the scales on their bodies.

Several Pokémon stood still and let Naoki bathe them with a water gun.

After wetting the body, the next step is to apply shower gel on it. Naoki took out the Pokémon-specific shower gel he bought from the department store, squeezed some on his hands, and then rubbed it on Gulerton's body.

Gulden was tickled all over and couldn't help but chuckle: "Ah, gah!"

In a short while, its body was covered with white foam.

Naoki had previously used shower gels that didn't produce much foam, so this was the first time he had used one that produced a lot of foam.

At first glance, the Pokémon looked like it was wearing a cotton suit, with even its tail covered in foam, so only a pair of golden pupils and some crimson scales were exposed.

Motorcycle Lizard and Dragonite were watching curiously from the side. They just thought that Gul'ton looked so funny.

Naoki said with a smile: "It will be your turn soon!"

Motorcycle Lizard and Dragonite immediately opened their eyes wide, showing great resistance, and even wanted to turn around and run away.

However, there was no way Gulden would let them escape. Before Naoki could say anything, he exerted force with his legs, jumped over their heads, and blocked Dragonite and Motorcycle Lizard.

Bubbles were flying all over the sky and white "snow" was falling all over the ground.

Naoki: "..."

"Really? Is it that scary? Bobfoot and Eruption were so happy when they were taking a bath yesterday!" he said.

Erguiyan even took the initiative to play with the foam on his body.

Gulerton picked up Dragonite and Motorlizard one by one with his claws.

The two Pokémon looked hopeless and could only allow Naoki to smear foam on their bodies.

"Quaao..."

"Ouch..."

"Ah gah!"

My sister, the housekeeper, stood by with a few bath towels in her arms and couldn't help laughing as she watched the scene.

"Sister Ai Guanshi and brother Ai Guanshi both take a bath by themselves. Look at you, you are covered in dust after being outside all day. A few days ago, when it rained, you came into the house with mud on your feet!" Naoki said, pointing at their noses.

Motorlizard and Dragonite looked pitiful.

Only Gulden puffed out his chest with pride.

"Ah gah!"

Anyway, I'm not talking about it, because it is the only one that will run to the river to wash itself clean before going home!
Seeing Gul'don's appearance, Motorlizard and Dragonite couldn't help but open their eyes wide.

Damn it! No wonder they saw this guy running to the river to wash his feet a few days ago. It turns out he was waiting here!
Bad dragon! Don't tell them yet!
Naoki looked at the interaction of these Pokémon with a smile.

The Pokémon in his house are getting along more and more harmoniously!

"Okay, I'll help you guys clean up, and then we can go play!"

As he spoke, Naoki used the faucet to help the three Pokémon rinse off the foam on their bodies, then took the bath towel from his sister, Ai Butler, and dried their bodies.

It was at this time that Sylveon ran back from the World Tree alone.

It found Naoki and told him what had happened to it on the World Tree before, as well as the rumor about the Ice Dragon that the King of Ho told it.

"Buy, buey!"

After hearing this, Naoki was slightly stunned.

An ice dragon that breaks into human towns on snowstorm nights and eats children...why does this description sound so familiar?
