Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 605: Frozen World!

Hearing Naoki's voice, Articuno came back to his senses.

Perhaps to verify its inner guess, or perhaps out of curiosity about how far this Fairy Eevee had grown, it immediately nodded and agreed.

Sylveon vs. Articuno, the second battle officially begins!
Sylveon started with a misty field, and the light pink fairy energy spread in all directions in the form of mist. In the blink of an eye, it covered the battle area.

Articuno opened its mouth and condensed a stream of ice as it swooped down towards Sylveon.

Blue-white beams of energy streaked across the sky.

"Avoid it!"

Fairy Eevee looked at the oncoming ice, stretched out his limbs, and ran around the field at a high speed.

Articuno flapped its wings and chased after it, with the ice in its mouth flying quickly along the path that Sylveon had passed.

Naoki looked at this scene nervously.

There is a big difference between the moves in the real world and the moves in the game.

The freeze in the game can only attack once. If it is dodged by the opponent, there is no way to continue to cause damage.

But in the real world, as long as the user's energy is not exhausted, it can remain frozen and adjust according to the opponent's actions.

Just like now, Articuno, known as the "God of Ice", naturally contains a huge amount of ice energy in its body, which can maintain the freezing beam for a long time.

Fairy Eevee continued running around the snowy field.

Naoki was looking around, and suddenly his eyes caught sight of a few large rocks not far away, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Sylveon, learn to use the terrain!" Naoki shouted.

Fairy Eevee didn't understand what it meant at first, but when it noticed a large rock covered with snow in front of it, it immediately understood what Naoki meant.

"Buee!" Fairy Eevee responded loudly.

It immediately sped up its running speed, and when it was about to reach the boulder, it jumped high, flew over the boulder, and then landed precisely behind the boulder.

The next second, the figure of Articuno flew over from above, and a blue-white beam of ice swept across the boulder.

"Now is the time, use the high-speed star!" Naoki found the right moment and spoke immediately.

Fairy Eevee immediately jumped out from behind the boulder. It locked onto Articuno in mid-air with its beautiful blue eyes, and star-shaped light condensed from its mouth.

In an instant, countless stars flew out from in front of Sylveon and attacked Articuno in the air.

Articuno staggered, his eyes filled with shock.

It hurts!

Articuno was shocked. It was only a dozen minutes, how could the strength of Sylveon change so drastically? !
Articuno was stunned, with three parts of disbelief, four parts of shock, and three parts of confusion in his eyes.

It had never encountered anything like this before...

Naoki and Sylveon also took the opportunity to catch up with Articuno while he was stunned and chased after it.

"The power of the moon!"

A full moon rose from behind Sylveon, and fairy energy from all directions quickly gathered towards its head, eventually forming a moon-like ball of light, which flew towards Articuno under the control of Sylveon.

Articuno was unable to dodge and was hit directly by the "Moon". The pink light instantly swallowed up its body.

"Buh-hi-hi!"

Amid the sky full of glittering ice crystals, Articuno let out a cry of pain, and then performed a plane crash on the spot.

Although this move did not make Articuno lose its fighting ability, Naoki already had the answer in his heart.

Those upgraded seeds really brought great improvements to Sylveon!

Before eating the seeds, it was timid, but after eating the seeds, it could actually wrestle with Articuno.

What if you face Kyurem?

Naoki is not sure, because compared to Articuno, Kyurem's strength and status are obviously superior.

Although there is an attribute restraint between it and Sylveon, for the sake of safety, Naoki feels that Sylveon still needs to get familiar with the new power it has obtained.

The day when Fairy Eevee becomes proficient in the game, it will be the day when it can challenge Kyurem.

"Thank you very much, Articuno!"

The Life Milk had been drunk by Sylveon. Naoki walked forward, reached out and touched Articuno's forehead, using his Tokiwa power to help it recover its strength.

A green, life-filled light surged into Articuno's body, causing its injuries to immediately begin to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a few breaths, Articuno recovered.

"Buxiyi?!"

After recovering, Articuno did not pay attention to his own injuries first, but immediately asked about what happened to Sylveon.

How does it do it?
It was clearly a very weak Pokémon in the previous battle, but afterwards, in that short moment, its strength soared to this level.

Could it really be because of the food it just ate?

Articuno's mind recalled the steamed buns that Naoki had made for it and Moltres.

That kind of steamed bun is very special. Eating it can make them stronger.

And Zapdos said that it was the special ability of a human named Naoki, and the food he made had the effect of making Pokémon stronger.

Thinking of this, Articuno seemed to realize something and immediately looked at Naoki with a face full of longing.

Even without translating the melon seed crisps, Naoki could feel its meaning from the look in Articuno's eyes.

"..."

Naoki was silent for two seconds, then explained: "That seed was not made by me."

"Buh-hi-yi?"

"You know the upper-level expedition guild, right?" Naoki asked.

Articuno nodded: "Bu!"

"There is a space-time door connecting to other worlds. Through that door, you can enter other worlds."

"And those seeds just now are the specialty of that world. But no matter which world they are in, they are extremely rare."

"Everyone in the Expedition Guild spent a whole year and only found a dozen of them," said Naoki.

He understood what Articuno meant. If that kind of seed was easy to obtain, he believed that Articuno would immediately run into the mysterious maze to look for the seed.

In order to avoid it returning empty-handed, Naoki had to explain everything to it first.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Articuno gradually calmed down.

It nodded slightly to show that it understood.

"Buh-hi-hi!"

Naoki heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Sylveon and said goodbye to Articuno:
"Okay, that's all for today. We won't bother you anymore. See you later!" After saying that, Naoki left with Sylveon.

Articuno stood where he was, looking at the figure of Sylveon following Naoki away. For a moment, he envied the Sylveon for being his Pokémon.

*
After leaving Articuno's ice and snow town, Naoki did not return to the ranch immediately, but took Sylveon to the expedition guild headquarters.

He remembered that there was a mount lamb there that had challenged Kyurem in another world.

And this has happened more than once. If the Pokémon in the Mystery Dungeon loses its combat ability, it will be teleported back to the World Tree.

The continuous challenges from his lamb made Kyurem overwhelmed...

It can be said that it has a wealth of experience in dealing with Kyurem.

Everything is going on as usual in the expedition team's guild, with Pokémon carrying large and small bags traveling back and forth between the Mystery Dungeon and the guild.

When some Pokémon saw Naoki coming, they immediately ran over excitedly.

Naoki greeted everyone with a smile, then walked into the guild, found President Pangolin, and asked him about the news of his mount, the lamb.

"Long time no see, Fat Ke Ding, is the mount Lamb in the guild recently?"

"Pang Ke!" Pang Keding greeted Naoki happily, and then nodded: "Pang Ke!"

It left the counter and walked outside, turning back and waved at Naoki, motioning him to follow.

Naoki and Fairy Eevee hurriedly followed, and under the leadership of Pancake, they soon found the lamb where they were practicing moves in the training area.

"Meh?" Seeing Naoki looking for it, the lamb that had "defeated" Kyurem's mount stopped, turned around and looked at Naoki.

"It's like this, the lamb mount." Naoki looked at his Sylveon: "Sylveon wants to challenge Kyurem. Now only you and Kyurem have fought against each other on the World Tree, so we want to know from you what Kyurem looks like."

"What?"

Hearing this, the lamb was a little surprised at first. It looked at Fairy Eevee, and then carefully recalled the scene when it met Kyurem.

At that time, it was exploring a mysterious maze and accidentally broke into a world. In a valley, it met three Pokémon called Holy Swordsmen.

It heard the rumors about Kyurem from them, and then set out to Kyurem's lair and challenged it.

But at that time it was too weak and was sent back to the World Tree by that Pokémon in one move.

Fortunately, there was Chansey there at the time. After Chansey's careful treatment, it recovered and set out again to challenge Kyurem.

In this way, it challenged again and again, and finally Kyurem was moved by its perseverance and recognized its courage and identity as a holy swordsman.

As for Kyurem...

Lamb: "Baaaa!" (It's a dragon Pokémon that can freeze people!)

"Booee?" A dragon Pokémon that freezes people? Fairy Eevee immediately understood why Naoki had sent it to Articuno for special training.

"What else?" Naoki asked, "For example, what kind of moves Kyurem is good at, and how it fights you."

"Baaaa..." The little lamb recalled carefully, and then answered: "Baaaa!"

Kyurem will use a very scary move!

When it releases that move, the entire cave will be frozen!
Even the air seemed to be frozen. The lamb on horseback clearly remembered that it was having difficulty breathing because of this.

"Freeze the cave and the air?" After hearing the description of the lamb, the name of a move immediately popped up in Naoki's mind.

Could that be Kyurem’s exclusive move, Frozen World?

But when Naoki thought about the Frozen World in the game, which was an ice-type move with a power of only 65 and a hit rate of only 95, he felt that it didn't match the description of the lamb mount.

A powerful move that can even freeze the air, its power is obviously more than that.

And compared to Reshiram and Zekrom, Kyurem is very special.

Whether in the game or the movie, it is neither ideal nor real, but a solitary dragon that transcends the realm.

"Mea!" The mount lamb nodded. That's right, the air was frozen!

After that, it fell into a coma due to inability to breathe, and when it woke up, it had been teleported back to the World Tree.

However, what confused the fat mount lamb was that Kyurem only used it that once and never used it again.

Naoki: "..."

Obviously, Kyurem was angered by the constant harassment of his mount, the lamb, so he used that move.

Later, it found that instead of scaring the lamb, it actually aroused its fighting spirit, so it never used it again.

"Interesting." Naoki murmured.

He recalled the story between Kyurem and Keldeo in the movie, and suddenly felt that Kyurem's personality was very interesting.

However, in the world they are in, Kyurem has not yet appeared.

Because he changed Victini and the past, he indirectly stopped Plasma's plan, and because Adek's Vulcan Moth did not die, Adek took on the responsibility of protecting the Unova region.

And they stopped the Plasma Team's plan in advance. They didn't even have time to shift their target from the Black and White Dragons to Kyurem before they were sent to Interpol's prison.

But according to Naoki's speculation, the Kyurem in this world he lives in should be very similar to the Kyurem in his memory.

After getting the information they wanted from their lamb, Naoki took Gul'ton and Fairy Eevee away from the World Tree and returned to the ranch.

It was already evening and the sun was about to set in the distance.

On the way back, Naoki had already thought of a new special training plan for Sylph Eevee.

He said to Fairy Ibrahimovic: "From today on, Gulerton will accompany you for special training to help you master the new moves you learned today."

"Until the day you master all the moves, I will take you to challenge Kyurem. Guledon, Sylveon will be in your hands from now on."

"Ah, gah!" Gulden nodded and agreed.

Seeing this scene, Fairy Eevee nodded repeatedly.

"Bu Yi!" It will definitely study hard!
"Very good." Naoki smiled and touched the heads of the two Pokémon.

He looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he prepared to go home and prepare dinner.

At this moment, a guest suddenly came to the ranch.

He was a young man wearing the uniform of Padilla College. He was not very old and seemed to have just turned ten years old.

He looked at Naoki and asked, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Naoki's ranch?"

Naoki was a little surprised. He nodded and said, "Yes, I am Naoki."

The boy's eyes lit up: "Great! Mr. Naoki, my name is Sada, I'm your loyal fan, I grew up listening to your stories!"

"Now I have become a trainer too. Not long ago I heard that a new Brave Trial suitable for novice trainers has been opened at the ranch, so I want to give it a try with my Pokémon!"

Naoki: "..."

It's over. The brave trial suitable for newcomers is no longer the same as before.
