Chapter 265 Tea Party in Winter (5k)

 Zhishu Ranch, 7pm.

It was getting late, and after enjoying a reunion dinner with all the Pokémon, everyone got busy.

My younger sister, the housekeeper, went to the Pokémon Tavern to open a business, where she entertained the Pokémon guests who visited every day.

 Brother's caretaker handed a stack of postcards and several props to Naoki.

 Zhi Shu took a look and found that these were sent back by Baby Bear and Meng Meng who were traveling abroad.

The front of the postcard is a photo, and their small paw prints are still printed on the back. At a glance, it seems that they are the scenery and Pokémon that the two Pokémon encountered on the road.

The props include star fragments shining with red light, a heart-shaped colorful scale, a strange bone, and a hard stone.

 There is no doubt that these were all picked up by the baby bears through the "picking up" feature.

Zhi Shu gave them a rough scan and put them aside, preparing to read them slowly as bedtime reading when he went to bed later.

 As for now, he still has some things to do.

 The first step is to thaw the fresh grass harvested in autumn and then make it into grass dumplings.

 Those grass dumplings he made before going out have been completely eaten by three bleating goats. He must make some again as soon as possible.

 Mix the grass and dough, then put it into a pot and steam it.

While Naoki was busy, other Pokémon gathered in the living room and were scattered throughout the house.

Zhi Shu occasionally raised his head and could see the Frost Milk Fairy and Babu Groundhog climbing up and down the stairs.

It’s right to think about it. In this season, once night comes, the temperature outside will drop sharply. Compared to the dark and cold outside, I believe that no Pokémon can resist the burning fireplace, bright lights, and endless berries. and refreshments indoors.

Naoki smiled, checked the situation of Qingcao Dango, then picked up the alarm clock and set a time.

When the alarm clock rings, it means that this batch of grass dumplings is ready.

 While waiting, Naoki went to make a few more cups of his favorite Kitakami Township sweet black tea.

He returned to the living room with tea. One cup was placed in front of King Lei Guan who was sitting on the sofa, and the other two cups were placed in front of the Lai Bei Tea and the Wei Si Pot respectively.

After drinking the cup of bitter black tea on the boat, Bi Sihu has been feeling sad until now, with no smile at all on his face.

 Therefore, Naoki planned to change the pot of black tea to a cup of black tea.

 “Try it?” Naoki pushed two cups of tea in front of Lai Tea and Weisi Pot.

 The two Pokémon looked down at the tea in front of them.

 Lai Beicha shook his body, then floated forward, and used the ultimate absorption on the tea in front of him.

 After a while, the cup of sweet black tea was running low.

Lai Sadha burped with satisfaction, and the expression on his face became happy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

 It can be seen that it likes the taste of this black tea.

The Bisi Pot on the side had the lid on its head and looked down at the black tea in front of it. It didn’t know what it was thinking. After a while, it let out a sigh.

 Naoki: “?”

 At this time, two little heads poked out from under the table.

Babu Groundhog and Frost Milk Fairy looked at the horror pot with an innocent look.

 The Frost Milk Fairy said happily: "Mama!" (The tea made by Naoki is delicious! It's sweet!)

The Babu landhog nodded in agreement: "Bamo Bamo!" (Yes, give it a try!)

The little Horrible Pot looked blankly at the two Pokémon in front of him.

 It can feel the goodwill and friendliness in the air.

This made Bisi Pot and Lai Beicha, who had been alone in the dilapidated warehouse, feel a little moved in their hearts.

 “terrible…”

Horse Pot shook his head, and then, as if he had made some kind of determination, he stretched out his two slender hands to pick up the cup of sweet black tea and poured it into his body.

 After a while, the body of the Weisi Pot became more bulging, and some purple tea liquid poured onto the table.

Hishihu was a little worried.

Zhi Shu smiled and took a rag and wiped off the tea leaves.

 “It’s okay, just wipe it clean in time.”

Hishihu looked at the kind-hearted humans in front of him, and several flowers seemed to bloom on his head.

Its mood then became positive and lively, and its voice revealed a pleasant atmosphere: "Scary~!"

 “Recovered?” Naoki asked.

 The Horror Pot in front of me has completely lost the mournful atmosphere that it had on the ship before.

Hiesihu nodded happily: "Hair!"

 King Lei Guan on the side looked at this scene with a smile on his face, and he sighed aloud:

“I didn’t expect that this child’s temperament would change just because of the taste of a cup of tea. I have never seen such a magical thing in all the years of my life!”

"Yes!" Naoki nodded in agreement, and then looked at King Lei Guan in front of him: "Would you like to try it too? I don't know if this black tea charm suits your taste."

 Wang Lei Guan nodded slightly, then picked up the cup of tea, put it to his mouth, and sipped it gracefully.

After tasting it carefully, Lei Guanwang nodded slightly: "It's very delicious. I also like its taste."

 “That’s good.” Naoki grinned.

Looking at the elegant King Lei Guan in front of him, he couldn't help but have a picture emerge in his mind - King Lei Guan was sitting in the flower field under the warm sunshine, enjoying afternoon tea elegantly.

“Well, it would be even more perfect if we put a piece of grass cake on it. Afternoon tea with grass cake snacks is a perfect match.”

Zoki remembers that King Lei is also a grass-type Pokémon. Doesn’t that mean that the grass dumplings and grass cakes he developed before are also effective on King King?

Green grass dumplings can help Lei Guanwang understand grass-attribute moves and increase the grass-attribute energy in his body.

The grass cake can mutate the grass energy of King Leiguan, allowing it to mutate the crops when cultivating them.

 For example, the giant watermelon that was born before…

In addition, there is the World Tree in the pasture that takes one hundred thousand years to grow.

 I don’t know if King Lei Guan’s power can accelerate its growth.

Zhi Shu was ready to make some moves in his heart, but it was already too early, so these things could only be done in the future.

 He has a lot of work to do next.

 For example, building separate stables for ghost horses and snowstorm horses,

 Look for suitable land in the pasture, and use the power of King Lei Guan and the two horses to create special ice and snow fields and ghost fields on it.

  Use this to grow black radish and ice radish, which ghost horses and snowstorm horses like to eat most.

While thinking about it, the sound of the alarm clock came from the kitchen.

Zhi Shu quickly stepped forward to turn off the alarm clock, turned off the heat and started the pot, and took out the steamed grass dumplings.

He called Guluton and handed part of the grass dumplings into its hands: "Go and help me deliver these grass dumplings to the horse goats!"

 “Ah gah!”

So Leden happily agreed and went out with the basket of grass dumplings in his arms.

Zhi Shu brought two round and soft grass dumplings to King Lei Guan and asked, "Try it? This kind of food was specially developed by me and is very suitable for grass-type Pokémon to eat."

Hearing this, King Lei Guan lowered his head and looked at the dumplings placed on the white porcelain plate.

 The next second, a blue light lit up on one of the grass dumplings.

 In the shroud of light, the green grass dumpling automatically floated into the air and floated in front of King Lei Guan.

Lei Guanwang stretched out his hand to catch it, then opened his mouth and took a bite.

 After chewing a few times, the King of Abundance immediately opened his eyes incredulously.

This kind of food... actually contains a faint trace of energy!

Is it an illusion?

Lei Guanwang tasted it again.

 No, it’s not an illusion.

 He clearly felt that a faint trace of natural energy was integrated into his body!

 But, how is this possible? !

King Lei Guan immediately cast a puzzled look at his little disciple.

Seeing this, Naoki knew that King Lei Guan had felt the effect of the grass dumplings.

He grinned and asked, "Do you feel it?"

Leiguan Wang nodded slightly: "I feel that there is a faint trace of natural energy in it. Where does this power... come from? No, looking at your appearance, I have already known this."

 Zhi Shu nodded: "Because this is my ability. I can develop the potential of food and let them produce various magical effects, including but not limited to replenishing energy, healing injuries, and understanding moves."

Hearing this, King Lei Guan was slightly startled, and then quickly accepted the matter.

"You are indeed my believer! You actually have this kind of power. You are the one chosen by nature. I am really proud of you!"

 Naoki: “…”

 It doesn’t seem that exaggerated, right?

Lei Guanwang seems to have misunderstood something, but he doesn’t know where this ability to develop delicious food comes from.

 It was difficult to explain, so Naoki could only respond with a smile. At this time, Gu Ledun returned from sending green grass dumplings.

 Zhi Shu took the basket from it and returned to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

 After it was over, he couldn't help but yawn.

　　Zhi Shu felt a little tired after running around for several days. He glanced at the time and found that it was already nine o'clock in the evening before he knew it.

Zhi Shu wanted to go to bed, but before that, he had to arrange King Lei Guan’s residence.

 After thinking for a moment, Naoki asked: "By the way, do you have any requirements for a place to live?"

 King Lei Guan saw what he meant and shook his head slightly: "There is no requirement. You can go to bed first. I want to go outside and take a look. I will find a place to rest later."

Since he is planning to live here forever, Lei Guanwang plans to go out for a walk to learn about the situation and environment near the ranch.

"Well, if anything happens, you can come and call me at any time." Naoki said.

 Wang Lei Guan nodded happily.

Seeing this, Naoki said goodbye to him, and then waved to other Pokémon:

“I’m going to bed first, you guys can continue playing here!”

 “Ah gah!”

Gulton, who was lying on the carpet, immediately followed.

Zhi Shu looked around and couldn't find Babu. He guessed that he had gone to the second floor to play with his friends, so he gave up the idea of ​​sleeping with him and turned around with the pile of postcards and props sent by the baby bear. Returned to the bedroom.

 He put the letters on the bedside and went to the bathroom to wash up.

   *

 After Naoki left, King Lei Guan flashed and came outside the house.

He was floating in the night sky, overlooking the ranch below that was enveloped in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

 He saw the ghostly horse, hidden in the shadows, and the snowstorm horse standing on the grass, snoring;

I saw a brightly lit and bustling hut, where a group of Pokémon gathered, happily drinking water and chatting;

I saw many beautiful flowers blooming in the transparent glass building, and several insect-type Pokémon were staying in it, taking a nap with their eyes closed;

I saw the Pokémon sleeping peacefully hiding in huts made of wood in the orchard.

 and three sheep Pokémon living in a pen surrounded by a wooden fence.

At this time, they were crowding around a trough, eating the grass dumplings inside.

  King Lei Guan felt an amazing energy fluctuation from their bodies.

This made him very surprised.

  King Lei Guan stared at the three Pokémon for a while.

Soon, they seemed to have filled their stomachs, and they walked to a young seedling with satisfaction, lay down around the seedling, and began to fall asleep.

As a Pokémon, Raiden can see many things that humans cannot.

Just like now, he could clearly see that a weak natural energy was being released from the seedling, constantly nourishing the three sheep Pokémon, and constantly circulating between the three of them.

"This is…"

   *

  In the living room.

Pokémon such as Ice Eevee, Babu Groundhog, Frost Milk Fairy, Motorized Lizard, Olinio, Kuailong, and Tubby Brother gathered around the Lai Sad Tea and Horrible Sitting Pots floating in mid-air, cheering happily. .

Kuailong clapped his hands happily: "Aww~" (Welcome to you here~)

 Under its leadership, other Pokémon also made bursts of screams.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　～）

　　　…”

Lai Bei Cha and Wei Si Pot felt the friendliness emanating from everyone, and everyone seemed to welcome their arrival.

　　Two Pokémon were dumbfounded, especially Horror.

 From a long time ago, it began to live alone.

One day later, the teapot it used to live in broke, and it began to migrate in search of a new habitat.

Until one day, it mistakenly entered the warehouse full of antiques.

He found an antique teapot that he liked there, so he lived in it.

 One year, two years…

 Over the long years, Wei Sihu gradually felt lonely.

In order to have someone to accompany it, it separated part of its tea liquid and poured it into the matching antique cup next to it.

 Thus, Lai Bei Tea was born.

 But the guy who comes to Bei Cha is dumb and can’t speak much.

The two Pokémon lived together in that dark warehouse for a long, long time until they were discovered by the human, who then gave them to the human named Naoki.

 At the beginning, Bisihu was very worried about his future.

 But after getting along along the way, it saw the human being personally making tea for it to replenish the tea liquid in its body. Although it was a bit bitter, it drank it anyway.

 The bitter tea liquid made its heart become bitter. Affected by the tea liquid, it has been alone and immersed in loneliness these days.

Maybe it was too obvious, but the human actually noticed it and made another cup of sweet and delicious black tea for it.

After drinking it, Weisihu immediately felt that the bitterness of these days was swept away, the world seemed to become brighter, and even his body became warm.

 Now, not only are their bodies warm, but after feeling the kindness and friendship released by everyone, their hearts also become warm.

 After a brief period of confusion, the Bisi Pot and Lai Bei Tea let out happy cries.

 “Horrible~!”

It swayed slightly and floated in mid-air, and music symbols representing a happy mood popped out of its head.

A magical power was surrounding them. The Pokémon below looked up at the Horror Pot that was floating happily in the air, and their eyes lit up.

 Then they took out a tree fruit from somewhere. They hugged the tree fruit and happily ate it under the guidance of the jumping Horror Pot.

In the room, Naoki, who had just finished taking a shower, heard the lively sounds of Pokémon coming from outside. He thought it was them quarreling, so he opened the door to check.

But before he could get closer, he saw a group of Pokémon sitting in front of a warm fireplace, holding a tea party with fruit from the tree.

 Seeing this beautiful scene, Naoki was slightly startled.

That was...a tea party?

 Tea Party, the exclusive move of Horror Teapot.

It is said that this move can only be used when Scary Pot is happy, and it will invite other Pokémon to hold a tea party and taste tree fruits and delicious food.

 “This is really a beautiful move!”

Zhi Shu couldn’t help but sigh as he stood there.

　　He did not step forward to interrupt, because he knew that this was a tea party for the Pokémon.

 “Ah gah?”

 At this time, Guluton ran out of the room.

Zhi Shu looked at it and whispered: "You should go and join us too!"

Hurton looked over there, then stretched out his tongue and licked the tree, and then ran towards the fireplace to meet his fellow Pokémon.

Zhishu smiled slightly, and after leaving Gu Ledun to attend the tea party, he turned back to the room and sat on the bedside.

Zhi Shu quietly listened to the laughter of the Pokémon outside, then took out the postcards sent back by Meng Meng and Baby Bear and looked at them one by one.

There are four photos in total. The first photo shows a group of Pipis circling around a bonfire, with a round moon above their heads. It seems like they are holding some kind of ceremony.

The baby bear is holding the star fragment in his hand and half of his head is sticking out of the camera, seemingly happy to have picked up the star fragment.

"Pippi from Yuejian Mountain?" Zhi Shu was a little surprised.

He picked up the star fragment that Baby Bear sent back and looked at the star fragment in Baby Bear's hand in the photo.

 There is no doubt that the star fragment in the photo has been sent back by Baby Bear.

 The second photo shows a vast stretch of mountains.

“Could this be the famous Silver Mountains?” Naoki couldn’t help but guess.

 Helped, Baby Bear and Mengmeng ran so far away?

I just don’t know if the top of Baiyin Mountain is red.

 The third picture shows Caracalla and Gala Gala mother and son holding bones in their hands.

The young Caracara is reaching out and giving one of the bones as a gift to the baby bear.

Looking at this scene, Naoki made a guess based on Meng Meng’s previous behavior of helping the baby bear:

“It should be that Meng Meng and Baby Bear helped the Gala Gala mother and son, so Caracalla gave them his treasured stick bones.”

 The fourth photo shows a sparkling lake.

 On the lake, a beautiful Pokémon was moving slowly in the sunlight.

That's... Menas? !

 This is the Pokémon that is called the most beautiful Pokémon in the world!

Coming to this world, Naoki saw Menas for the first time. Although he was separated from the photo, he could still feel the charm of that Menas.

The scales on her body that shine like a rainbow in the sun are so beautiful!
