Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 461 Looking for Jirachi and teaming up with Absol

The sun is shining high, and the hot sunshine pours on this rich and magnificent quartz sandstone peak forest.

As you look around, this rugged and unique landscape stretches to the distant horizon, with mountains and forests dotted with meandering rivers running through sandstone peaks.

Standing on the mountain peak and looking down, there is no sign of human existence within a hundred miles.

Coupled with the abundant water resources here and the abundant wild fruits growing in the green forest valleys, it is enough for one to imagine how large a community of wild Pokémon inhabits here.

The three Pokémon of the Hero Expedition, who had been pursuing the rumors about Jirachi, slowly landed on a hilltop.

 Meng Meng and Baby Bear flew out from the lightning bird and looked at this beautiful and spectacular woodland with it.

The baby bear was attracted by the scene here, and he couldn't help but murmured:

 “One…one?” (So beautiful…this is the Farnes area, right?)

  “miu?”

 Meng Meng tilted her little head and looked down at the scene below with her beautiful blue eyes.

If the big king swallow is right, this should be the Farnes area, where Jirachi sleeps.

Lightning Bird is also watching this strange land.

 “Chirp.” (Anyway, just go down and ask and you’ll find out.)

Hearing this, the three Pokémon from the Hero Expedition looked at each other, and then flew down together.

 There are many Pokémon living here just like other places.

Hunter Mushroom, Thunder Beast, Straight Bear, Tropical Dragon, Long Nose Leaf, Tanabata Bluebird...

These local Pokémon quickly noticed the three strange visitors.

 The three members of the Hero Expedition also saw them.

 In order to find out about Jirachi, Mengmeng flew to a group of Dou Li Qi mushrooms and asked:

“miu?” (Excuse me, is Jirachi here?)

 Hearing the unfamiliar name Jirachi, these mushrooms seemed a little confused.

 “Losa?” (Jirachi? Who is that?)

“Miu!” (It’s a Pokémon that looks like a star!) Mew replied, Naoki said so.

However, these mushrooms still shook their heads.

 The baby bear on the side murmured: "One." (It seems they don't know Jirachi.)

So what should we do now?

Baby Bear quickly thought of a good idea!

They just need to ask Naoki directly through the Rotom mobile phone!

Thinking of this, Baby Bear called out the Rotom phone and said to it: "One!" (Rotom phone, please help us contact Naoki!)

 “Get Lotto!”

 The screen of Rotom's mobile phone flashed twice, and then the call interface appeared on it.

With the phone ringing twice, the video communication was finally connected.

  Naoki’s face immediately appeared on the opposite side of the screen.

Through the screen, Naoki noticed the special landform behind the baby bear.

 He recognized their location at a glance.

"It seems that you have successfully arrived in the Farnes area." Zhi Shu said.

The special landform in the Farnes region is very unique in the entire Pokémon world.

 After all, its prototype is Wulingyuan in China.

 “One!” Baby Bear nodded repeatedly.

 Then, it reported to Naoki the difficulties it was currently encountering.

“One…” (It’s just that the Pokémon here don’t seem to recognize Jirachi…)

Meng Meng on the side also looked puzzled.

 So, several Pokémon looked at the screen together, waiting for Naoki's answer.

 “I think I should know what’s going on.”

 After thinking for a short time, Naoki thought of the reason.

"Because the characteristic of Pokémon like Jirachi is that it can only awaken once every one thousand years, and a thousand years have passed since its last awakening. These Pokémon were born later. I don't know It’s excusable.”

"One?!" The baby bear suddenly frowned. How were they going to find Jirachi?

"This is simple." Naoki continued: "You first go to find a Pokémon named Absol. It should know the location of Jirachi."

In that theatrical version, there was an Absol, which seemed to be Jirachi's guardian and could track Jiraqi's location. In the end, it led Xiaozhi and the others to the Farnes area, allowing Jirachi to mission accomplished.

Hearing this, Baby Bear quickly turned his head and asked the group of mushrooms: "Are they one by one?" (Then do you know Absolu?)



Absolu, that is the guardian of this land of Farnes, they have been helped by each other.

Although I don’t know what these three strange Pokémon wanted from Absol, one of them still provided help to them.

 It pointed in a direction with its finger and signaled: "Losa!"

  Meaning that Absolu lives there.

Meng Meng and Baby Bear looked over there. They thanked the mushrooms first, and then flew in that direction on the Lightning Bird.

 During this period, the video communication on Rotom’s mobile phone was not hung up.

Zhi Shu also took the opportunity to observe the Farnes area and the wild Pokémon living there through the screen.

 The proboscis standing on the big tree, the tropical dragons gathering at the riverside to drink water, the vigilant coyote dogs in the grass...

I have to say that there are really rich types of Pokémon living there.

 This situation is also inevitable.

Jirachi absorbs the earth energy from the Millennium Comet, and then uses this energy to nourish the earth, making the soil fertile and the vegetation more lush.

 If the soil is fertile, abundant resources will grow on the land, allowing more wild Pokémon to be raised.

 But there is still a problem.

What should he do to stop Jirachi from sleeping?

  Reversal series of dishes?

Even if it doesn’t turn Jirachi’s characteristic Heavenly Grace into Heavenly Punishment…

 Let’s think about it another way.

It is known that Jirachi can absorb the energy from meteors and feed them to the land of Farns.

As far as Naoki knows, the natural energy in the World Tree can also do this.

So the question is, if Jirachi absorbs enough natural energy, can it be prevented from falling asleep?

While Naoki was thinking, a strange Pokémon suddenly appeared in front of the Hero Expedition.

It was a four-legged Pokémon with white hair, a pair of red eyes, and a bow-like horn on its head.

The Absol was looking calmly at the few Pokémon that broke into this place.

 Baby Bear and Dream also discovered each other.

Naoki introduced them: "It is Absol."

 Human voice?

Absolu’s eyes instantly turned to the Rotom mobile phone floating in the air.

 Meng Meng looked at Absol, and then asked: "miu?" (Hello, Absol, do you know Jirachi?)

 Hearing the name Jirachi, Absol's eyes instantly became alert.

It glanced at the human, and then at the three strange Pokémon.

 “Aww?” (What’s the matter with you?)

Baby Bear keenly noticed the change in Absol's tone.

It quickly realized that the Pokémon in front of it seemed to have misunderstood something, so it quickly explained:

 “One, one, one!” (We are a heroic expedition team, not a bad guy Pokémon! The reason why we want to find Jirachi is because we want to help it so that it doesn’t have to wake up every thousand years!)

Hearing this, Absol fell silent.

 As the guardian of Jirachi, it is naturally very aware of Jirachi's situation.

only…

Thinking of this, Absol looked at the three Pokémon in front of him and said: "Aww." (Jirachi has disappeared.)

 Missing?

 Hearing this, the three Pokémon in the Hero Expedition were all slightly startled.

Absolu turned around and led them to a cave.

“Aww.” (Jirachi was supposed to be sleeping there, but three days ago, it disappeared. The nearby Pokémon said that a human had been around here, but I couldn’t track him.)

 Only when Jirachi wakes up can it determine Jirachi's position by following its breath. "What..." Baby Bear suddenly had a bad idea.

  Could it be that Jirachi was captured by a human trainer?

Hearing this, Absol immediately said: "Ouch!" (Impossible! Jirachi hasn't woken up yet, so it's impossible for him to make his own decision!)

 “Absol is right.” At this time, Naoki’s voice sounded again.

Absolu immediately set his sights on the human in the machine.

Naoki noticed Absol’s gaze and explained to it with a smile:

"Absol, don't worry, we have no ill intentions. I am Naoki. I am looking for Jirachi this time because I just want to help it."

 The baby bear on the side nodded repeatedly: "One!" (That's right! It was Naoki who entrusted us to come here to help Jirachi!)

Mew also said: "miu~" (Naoki is a very good human being~)

Absolu is not a fool. He did not believe it immediately, but remained skeptical about this matter.

 Because it was the human who kidnapped Jirachi, it was not sure whether what the human said was true, or whether he was also trying to capture Jirachi.

 Absol fell into silence.

By this time, Naoki had already found the location of the Pokémon Park online and sent it to Baby Bear and Mew.

If he guessed correctly, the crystallized Jirachi has now been taken away by Butler, the former scientist of Team Lava.

Butler and his girlfriend Diane will hold a grand Pokémon amusement park near Farnes for visitors to have fun and spend the seven days together when the Millennium Comet arrives.

 They also held ticket sales online to attract tourists.

Of course, all this is just an appearance.

Butler's true purpose is to absorb cosmic energy through Jirachi to create a Groudon from Groudon's fragments to prove himself to Team Lava.

 And all the money he earned from opening the amusement park was invested in research.

“Okay, I have sent the location where Jirachi may be at present, Dream Bear Baby and Lightning Bird. You can get there by following the navigation.”

“But there are still a few days before the arrival of the Millennium Comet, and Jirachi may not have woken up yet,”

Hearing this, Baby Bear and Meng Meng were filled with surprise.

 “One!”

 “miu!”

 As expected of Naoki, he is so reliable!

 And the Absolu had a look of astonishment on his face.

How did this human know the location of Jirachi?

Mew began to determine the location of the Pokémon Park on Rotom's mobile phone. After discovering that it was not far from here, he immediately prepared to go there.

The baby bear looked back at Absol and invited it: "One, one, one!" (Absol, come with us to help Jirachi!)

Absolu: “…”

 Thinking of his suspicions about this human and the three Pokémon, Absol looked away with some embarrassment.

 But now compared to itself, Jirachi's affairs are obviously more important.

 “Ouch.” (Then I’ll leave it to you.)

 Seeing that the Heroes Expedition successfully reunited with Absol, Naoki felt a little relieved.

"Then you guys go over there first. I'm also going to study a way to keep Jirachi awake. If anything happens, contact me," he said.

 “One!”

Baby Bear responded happily and then hung up the phone.

In order not to attract other people’s attention, Mew used the elf ball to take the Lightning Bird inside.

It transformed into a blue sheep bird, rode on Absol's back with the baby bear, and followed the navigation of Rotom on the phone to the venue of the Pokémon Park.

Zhi Shu, on the other hand, walked out of the house and looked thoughtfully at the Pokémon playing in the pasture.

As far as he knew, there was not only one Jirachi in the world.

But whether it is Jirachi in Farnes or Jirachi in other places, they all retain the ecological habit of sleeping for a thousand years and waking up in seven days.

Of course, not all Jirachi need to absorb the energy from the Millennium Comet.

This Jirachi in the Farnes area is very special. It absorbs natural energy not for itself, but to nourish the entire land of Farnes.

And judging from the performance in the theatrical version, Jirachi is not as able to directly help wishers realize their wishes as rumored by the outside world.

Its ability is more focused on transferring items. When a wisher makes a wish to it for endless food, Jirachi will use its superpowers to transfer food from other places.

Hence, directly wishing to Jirachi to keep it from falling asleep will not work.

Zhi Shu walked forward. He walked through the path in the pasture and came to the lake that connected the reverse world.

 Then, he crossed the lake and came to the reverse world, and came to the world tree unobstructed.

 Zhi Shu did not go up, but stood on the empty island at the bottom, deep in thought.

  Will dishes made using the leaves of the World Tree be effective on Jirachi?

 In the past, before the world tree had grown, he had made a dish called leaf cake using leaves.

That dish has three effects in total.

They are: permanently increasing the power of grass-type moves by 25%, when grass-type Pokémon use grass energy to cultivate crops, they can shorten the growth period of crops, and the last one is the Lord of the World Tree, which is only effective for him.

While Naoki was meditating, a magical scene happened.

As if the World Tree in front of him felt his thoughts, a green light suddenly lit up on the huge tree crown.

In the light, two leaves exuding gleaming light slowly fell down and landed in front of Zhishu.

Zhishu was slightly startled.

 He looked down, and the next second, the information about the two leaves emerged from his mind.

　　【Leaves of Awakening: Leaves with magical effects. Use them to make dishes, which can keep certain Pokémon awake and avoid falling asleep. 】

Leaf of Life: The leaves of the World Tree are rich in natural energy. Placing them somewhere can nourish the ecological environment of that place and make it rich and beautiful. 】

  ?

 Seeing these two leaves falling in front of him, Zhishu was slightly startled.

 He then raised his head in disbelief and looked at the World Tree in front of him.

  Could it be that... the World Tree is helping him?

 As far as he knows, this world seems to have a natural will...

 And the power of Changpan is exactly the embodiment of natural will.

Nature will give this power to the chosen humans.

 After pondering for a long time, Zhi Shu roughly guessed the current situation.

 The natural will on the World Tree sensed his current troubles, so it took the initiative to help him!

 Is this the effect of "Lord of the World Tree"?

 How terrifying!

   *

 Outside all the universes, Arceus stared at the human named Naoki.

“Interesting, even if you have never met that Pokémon and have only heard rumors about it, are you willing to take the initiative to help it?”

“In that case, I will give you a gift.”

Arceus' thoughts moved slightly, and two leaves slowly fell from the tree.

As the Creator God, He doesn’t mind changing the rules of that Pokémon himself.

As for why he wanted to help that human being, it was because He saw a new possibility in him.

There is not just one world in these universes, some worlds are peaceful and stable, and some worlds are in danger.

 Arceus needs some people to help those worlds that are about to be destroyed.

He took a fancy to the Pokémon organization called the Hero Expedition organized by Naoki.

This is not the first time He has done this kind of thing.

A long time ago, Arceus selected a human named "Xiaozhao" from a certain world, moved her to the Xicui area troubled by time and space rifts, and gave her Arceus' mobile phone.

 Arceus’ pupils reflected the image of the human named Naoki lowering his head to pick up the two leaves.

 He ​​is fashionable and young, and he does not know that all the gifts of fate have been secretly marked with prices.
