Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 603: Attack of Sylveon

"Herod, Tanabata Bluebird, Beedrill, Lizard King, Metagross, Venusaur, Banjira, Almost Doll..."

Including the Electric Dragon Evolution Stone that Daigo gave him before, Naoki currently has 9 Mega Evolution Stones on hand.

You know, among thousands of Pokémon, only forty or fifty Pokémon can undergo mega evolution.

After returning to the ranch, Naoki placed the evolution stones he obtained on this trip in the living room. A circle of Pokémon surrounded him, looking at these round stones curiously.

"Bamo..."

Babu Tubo reached out and picked up one, then carefully observed the appearance of the stone.

"Is this the Mega Stone that allows Pokémon to mega evolve?" Qi Shu asked.

Naoki nodded, and then introduced to Qishu: "Yes, each evolution stone corresponds to a Pokémon. In addition to the evolution stone, the trainer needs to carry a key stone to resonate with the evolution stone."

"After Mega Evolution, not only will the appearance of Pokémon change, but their power will also be greatly enhanced."

As they were talking, Naoki noticed Qishu's excited look and immediately guessed what she was thinking.

"It's just a pity that neither the Electric-Belly Frog, Dream Demon, nor the Gulden Dragonite have corresponding super stones." Naoki said.

Qi Shu suddenly felt extremely disappointed: "Ah? How could this happen?!"

Naoki spread his hands helplessly: "I don't know either."

He was not very clear about how these key stones and super stones were formed, and how they corresponded to specific Pokémon.

"Forget it, let's save them for the little tree to use later!" said the strange tree.

At their age, they have passed the stage of catching Pokémon everywhere, and they no longer go out of their way to capture Pokémon for the purpose of mega evolution. It all depends more on fate.

Naoki meant the same thing. He put these super stones away and planned to deal with them later.

Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, it was the end of April in the 203rd year of the Alliance.

With the arrival of summer, the temperature in the air gradually rises, the grass and trees in the fields grow more vigorously, and the trees in the back mountains show a vibrant dark green color under the sunlight.

Every evening, bursts of cicada chirping can be heard from the back mountain.

Amid the chirping of cicadas and insect Pokémon, Little Tree is four months old.

Her body began to have considerable strength, and Naoki and Qishu began to teach her how to roll over and introduced her to the family members on the ranch.

In the crib, Xiaoshu was lying on a soft blanket, looking at the toy in Naoki's hand with his big black eyes.

It was a plastic toy in the shape of an ancient moon bird. There was a long tube on the back of the toy. Whenever someone blew air into it, the ancient moon bird would make a sound while opening its mouth and sticking out its long tongue.

And at the end of the tongue, there stands a tiny Pikachu.

"Gah!"

Naoki blew the Kozuki bird toy, and Xiaoshu's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

She fluttered to grab the toy, and Naoki guided her in front of her, "Come here..."

He moved the Gu Yue bird toy back a distance and placed it above Xiao Shu's head. Seeing the toy running away, Xiao Shu quickly reached out to catch it, but she couldn't reach it.

The baby's short legs and arms were flapping around in the air, and then he accidentally turned over and lay on the crib, looking at the Ancient Moon Bird toy in front of him.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Xiao Shu reached out and grabbed the Ancient Moon Bird, swinging it around in the air, appearing very happy.

"Great!" Naoki gave a thumbs up: "You are worthy of being daddy's daughter!"

However, Xiaoshu ignored him and just played with the Gu Yue bird toy.

After a while, maybe because he was tired or something, Xiaoshu let go of the Gu Yue bird toy and threw it aside.

"Don't you want to play anymore?" Naoki asked.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

The little tree spread its arms and reached out to him.

"Okay, Dad will hold me!" Naoki picked her up and gave her a kiss: "Good girl."

Qishu came in from outside holding some clothes hanging out to dry. She smiled and said, "It's warm outside. Take Xiaoshu out to bask in the sun!"

Sunbathing is good for your health and can help your baby grow up healthily.

Naoki immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay."

He carried the little tree out of the door, and the burning bug followed silently behind him.

Naoki took Xiaoshu across the stream in the ranch and came to the Snorlax Park on the other side.

Snorlax was still lying on the grass, sleeping soundly, his belly warmed by the sun.

Naoki placed the small tree on it, and at this time, the Eruptions and Eevees who were originally playing in the Snorlax Park saw Naoki coming and surrounded him.

Looking at everyone, Naoki smiled and introduced Xiaoshu: "This is Eruption, it is Dad's good friend!"

"Boni~!" Erguiyan jumped up happily.

The little tree looked at Erguiyan and blinked its big eyes: "Yiyiyaya!"

"Buyi!"

The Eevees also jumped onto Snorlax's belly, surrounded Xiaoshu, and happily introduced themselves to her.

Xiaoshu was no stranger to Eevees. In previous winters, she often slept with Eevees and was already familiar with their scent.

So when he saw the Eevees surrounding him, Xiaoshu excitedly started to cry out "Eeyore".

Naoki stood aside and watched this scene with a smile, and said to the Pokémon:
"Now is not the best time to have fun. After a while, she will learn to walk, and then she can play with you."

"Ah gah!"

So Lewton nodded repeatedly as a witness.

Then it can let its little master sit on its back and carry her around!
"Boni?" (Can she play hide and seek with me?)
Erguiyan raised his hand to ask a question.

"Of course." Naoki nodded with a smile.

"Boni!" Erguiyan was very happy.

"Buee?" (When will the little tree grow up?) the Eevees asked.

"She grows up very quickly. Do you remember how small she was when she was born? Look at her now. In the blink of an eye, she has grown so big. It won't be long before she becomes as big as Bob Dodder." Naoki replied.

"Buee..." The Eevees were very much looking forward to it.

On the grass not far away, the three holy beasts were lying there basking in the sun, their eyes looking far away in the direction of Snorlax Park.

"Little Tree is getting bigger and bigger." Emperor Yan said majestically.

"Yeah!" Shuijun also sighed.

When they first saw the child, she was still a wrinkled ball and very small.

And now, in the blink of an eye, it has turned into a very cute baby.

Looking at the small tree surrounded by Eevees, at this moment, an unprecedented feeling arose in the hearts of the three holy beasts.

It was an indescribable feeling of satisfaction and relief, which could not be accurately described even in human language. Lei Gong did not speak, as he was somewhat worried.

Neither it, Entei, nor Suicune had ever had this kind of experience, guarding a person all the time like now, watching her being born, growing up, eating, sleeping...

And this kind of life will obviously continue for a long time, until the three of them are completely accustomed to and adapted to such days.

If one day, the child grows up and no longer needs them, where will they go?

Lei Gong had already anticipated the day when they would be separated in the future.

What is the purpose of Lord Ho-oh's action? Is it to allow them to establish a bond with humans?
Lei Gong didn't understand, so he turned his eyes to the girl.

I'm afraid they won't know the answer to this question until much later.

In the evening, Naoki carried the sleeping Xiaoshu back to the room and handed him over to his sister Ai Guanshi to take care of.

My sister Ai Guanshi patted her chest and assured, "Aiya!" Don't worry! It will definitely take good care of the little tree!

"Then I'll leave it to you." Naoki nodded with a smile.

He looked at the crib next to him. In the crib, Xiao Shu was lying on his side, holding a warm and furry burning bug, and was sleeping soundly.

The Crescent Moon Feather given by Ye Ci was placed by Naoki next to Xiaoshu's pillow to protect her from nightmares.

Naoki withdrew his gaze.

Next, he planned to take Gulden to the World Tree to check on Sylveon’s special training.

The man and the Pokémon bid farewell to their sister, Articuno, and passed through Giratina's reversed world and came to the World Tree. Finally, they found Sylveon who was undergoing special training in the ice and snow town where Articuno was.

When Naoki arrived there, a blizzard swept across the entire snowfield.

Naoki looked into the distance and saw a figure moving quickly through the snowstorm.

The biting cold wind and snow hit its body, but the Pokémon showed no fear at all, and a faint glow appeared on its body.

The light enveloped the entire body, as if helping it resist the cold ice and snow.

Seeing this scene, Naoki was a little surprised.

Has Fairy Eevee learned any new moves?
Judging from the appearance of that move, it seems to be a normal-type mysterious guard.

[Mysterious Guardian: You will be protected by a magical power for a period of time, so you will not fall into an abnormal state.]

"Have you learned to use Mystic Guard to resist the blizzard and Freeze Beam?" Naoki looked at Sylveon with admiration in his eyes.

This Pokémon is getting serious about becoming a hero!
Now seems to be the time.

Naoki pulled out the Arceus phone from his pocket.

A long time ago, he issued a commission to the Pokémon on the World Tree, and the content of the commission was to ask them to help find the seeds of happiness and the golden seeds.

These two types of seeds are products from another world. To put it in game terms, they can increase the level of Pokémon.

A happy seed can upgrade a Pokémon by 1 level at a time, while a golden seed can upgrade a Pokémon by 5 levels at a time. The effect is comparable to 5 magical candies, which is very exaggerated.

And now, there have been some gains.

The screen of Arceus's phone showed the completion status of the commission.

With the joint efforts of everyone in the Expedition Guild, a lot of seeds have been collected now.

[Naoki's commission: Find the seeds of happiness and gold in the mysterious maze!
Commission completion status: Farfetch'd has been completed, Charizard has been completed, Milotic has been completed...

A total of 12 seeds of happiness were collected.

Total gold seeds collected: 2. 】

Adding the 4 happy seeds and 1 golden seed that Mew and Baby Bear brought back from the maze world, Naoki now has a total of 16 happy seeds and 3 golden seeds.

If Fairy Eevee eats them all, he can reach level 31 in one go!
Although there is no concept of levels in this world, if converted, it is equivalent to directly greatly improving the strength of Sylveon.

This is also the reason why Naoki asked Sylveon to undergo special training, because in this way, the effect of these seeds can be maximized.

If Sylveon is currently at level 69, then these seeds can make its strength soar directly to level 100.

At that time, a loud noise will be enough to directly defeat Kyurem, thus realizing Sylveon's dream.

But the only problem was that he couldn't see the specific strength of Sylveon and could only roughly guess a range.

What is certain is that with Sylveon's current strength, if converted into levels, there is definitely no level 69.

Do you want to feed the seeds to Sylveon now?
After a brief contemplation, Naoki decided to first see the specific strength of Sylveon.

At the same time, the snowstorm that swept across the snowfield finally ended, and Articuno flew through the sky with ice crystals all over its body.

The mysterious protection on Fairy Eevee ended. It shook off the snowflakes on its fur, and then prepared to go back to the ranch to eat the delicious food made by Naoki.

But at this moment, Fairy Eevee suddenly saw Naoki's figure not far away.

"Booy?!"

It quickly ran over there.

"Articuno!" Naoki raised his head and shouted loudly at Articuno in the sky.

Articuno heard his voice and slowly landed in front of him.

Fairy Eevee also ran over and looked at Naoki excitedly: "Eevee!"

"I came to see you." Naoki said with a smile. He touched Sylveon's head and said thank you for your hard work. Then he turned his gaze to Articuno and asked, "Articuno, can you have a Pokémon battle with us?"

"Buh-hi-yi?"

Articuno looked calmly at Guldon beside Naoki with its ice-blue eyes.

Naoki was slightly stunned, then he reacted and shook his head and said, "No, it's not Gulerton, I want you to have a battle with me and Sylveon."

Hearing this, Articuno looked at Sylveon: "Bu?"

Fairy Eevee: "Eevee?"

Naoki explained: "Kyurem is an ice-type Pokémon that is much stronger than Articuno. If you can't defeat Articuno, then you probably won't stand a chance against Kyurem."

This time, Naoki brought all the seeds from home, and he planned to conduct a comparative experiment.

First, let Sylveon and Articuno fight each other, then let Sylveon eat all the seeds, and then fight Articuno again.

In this way, we can observe the changes in Sylveon's strength before and after it eats the seeds.

The commission to find seeds is a long-term commission. It doesn't matter even if you eat these seeds now, there will definitely be Pokémon to help bring back new seeds in the future.

After hearing what Naoki said, Fairy Eevee fell into deep thought.

"Buyi..."

Kyurem is an ice-attribute Pokémon that is even more powerful than Articuno. Naoki is right. If it can't even defeat Articuno, then even if it faces Kyurem, it will surely be defeated.

Thinking of this, Fairy Ib immediately made up her mind: "Bu Yi!"

Sensing the Pokémon's determination, Articuno nodded slightly.

The next second, it spread its wings and flew into the sky. Amid the howling cold wind, crystal ice crystals danced all over the sky and swept towards Fairy Eevee.
