Chapter 44: Tornadus
The training continued until it was almost noon.
When Lei Wen returned to the wooden house with Dratini, preparing for lunch, he unexpectedly found that the Snivy inside was nowhere to be seen.
Lei Wen was stunned for a moment, and couldn’t help but cast his gaze upon the Pokémon beside him, asking:
“Where is Snivy?”
The Poffins pointed outside and replied in a babble: “Poffin!”
“It ran outside?”
“Poffin!” The Poffins nodded repeatedly.
Lei Wen glanced at the snowy ground outside and couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
This Snivy’s personality is a bit peculiar!
As a Grass Type Pokémon, it’s not afraid of the cold. It would be more comfortable and warm to stay in the wooden house, yet it still ran outside…
Based on this alone, Lei Wen could see the special nature of this Snivy.
If he could catch it, special training would surely go very smoothly!
It was lunchtime, and the maids brought the lunch in batches.
Lei Wen took a look. Today’s lunch was soft and fluffy white bread, a berry salad made from Pomelo Fruit, smoked ham, fish balls, and mixed dried fruits.
The fish balls were food for Dratini, and the mixed dried fruits were Poffin’s favorite.
Because Lei Wen had specifically instructed them, in addition to these, there was also fish soup boiled until it was milky white, and several roasted fish.
Snivy probably likes fish too, Lei Wen couldn’t help but think.
As he was thinking, Snivy returned from outside.
Lei Wen turned his head and saw that it was carrying a pile of berries in its arms as it walked in from outside.
Lei Wen was a bit surprised: “You went out to find these berries?”
“Snivy.”
Snivy placed the berries on the carpet, thinking: I didn’t find them specifically for you.
It just… just felt like it should thank this human named Lei Wen for treating its injuries.
Round berries scattered all over the floor, rolling around on the carpet.
“Amazing!” Lei Wen praised without reservation.
He got up and went forward, picked up the berries and put them away: “Lunch is ready, these are the fish I told you I caught from the river today, I don’t know if they suit your taste. Come and try them!”
“Snivy…”
Snivy was slightly taken aback, then walked forward and sat at the dining table with everyone else.
Lei Wen placed a piece of tender white fish meat in front of Snivy.
Snivy tried a bite, and under Lei Wen’s expectant gaze, its eyes gradually lit up.
“Snivy!”
Seeing this, Lei Wen smiled: “In that case, eat more!”
Lunch ended perfectly in a pleasant atmosphere.
The maids came to clear away the tableware. It started snowing heavily outside again, so Lei Wen gave up on going out and stayed in the wooden house with the Pokémon instead.
Snivy was indeed tired. Last night, it had taken a lot of effort to escape from those Sneasel.
With its mind suddenly relaxed from such high tension, Snivy only felt extremely weary.
It lay by the warm fireplace, and Lei Wen in its sight gradually became blurry, and Snivy soon fell asleep.
A few Poffins were huddled by the window, watching the heavy snow fall outside. Dratini was at Lei Wen’s desk, looking at the Snivy. Recalling Lei Wen’s attitude towards Snivy today, this gave Dratini a strangely uncomfortable feeling.
Lei Wen used to only act like that towards it, its only Pokémon…
Lei Wen, however, did not notice Dratini’s emotional change.
He sat at his desk, carefully flipping through the book brought back by Christina, which recorded the ecology of Pokémon in the surrounding area, while silently formulating his next plan in his mind.
“First, I’ll spend some time getting along with Snivy. Once our relationship is closer, perhaps I can ask it to become my Pokémon.”
Lei Wen recalled Snivy escaping from those five Sneasel. It was clear that Snivy’s strength was extraordinary.
“Well, with Snivy joining us, we can explore the surrounding area more deeply.”
Combee, Potter, Cranidos…
As for that Articuno on the snow mountain, it would be great if it could help guard the territory, Lei Wen couldn’t help but think.
That way, their actions in the surrounding area could be much more convenient.
However… neither their current strength nor their relationship with Articuno was sufficient.
The question is, can playing dead on the snow mountain attract Articuno? Lei Wen mused.
Although Articuno appears before humans lost and dying on the snow mountain and guides them, in the end, that is just human imagination and speculation.
Lei Wen always felt that Articuno was afraid they would die on the snow mountain and dirty its territory…
However, speaking of Legendary Pokémon, Lei Wen thought of a few beings that might be helpful in territorial construction.
For example, Regidrago, who holds the title of King of Abundance.
He possessed the power to make plants bloom instantly and crops mature instantly, which is why he was called the King of Abundance by humans.
But then again.
In this era, has the major event in the Galar region occurred?
Has Eternatus awakened? Has Regidrago fallen into slumber? Or is it still ruling the Galar region?
Lei Wen had no way of knowing, after all, the Galar region was too far from their Unova.
Coincidentally, their own Unova region also had a Legendary Pokémon that could make the land abundant.
That is Landorus, one of the Forces of Nature.
Legend has it that Landorus possesses the power to transform wind and lightning into energy, nourish the soil, and make the land more abundant.
The energy flowing from its tail nourishes the soil, causing crops to grow vigorously. It is said that any land visited by Landorus will yield an excellent harvest.
And Landorus is also called the God of Farmland by humans.
“If I remember correctly, Landorus can be encountered near the Shrine of Plenty,” Lei Wen recalled relevant memories.
But the problem is, that’s in the future. It’s not even certain if the Shrine of Plenty has been established in this era.
Even if they wanted to find Landorus, they wouldn’t be able to.
“Alas, the road ahead is long!” Lei Wen couldn’t help but sigh.
For now, they could only rely on their own strength slowly.
The World Tree in the Kanto region and Aron, Regidrago in the Galar region…
Lei Wen’s thoughts drifted to the ancient major events in the Pokémon World.
Did Groudon and Kyogre in the Hoenn region awaken?
Did Archie build the Ultimate Weapon to revive Flannery?
Lei Wen had even heard a rumor once.
It is said that in the distant past, a war that lasted for nearly a hundred years took place between the Galar region and the Kalos region…
If all of this is true, then the ancient Pokémon World was too chaotic.
Even without considering other regions, their own Unova region will erupt in a terrible war in the not-too-distant future.
And the instigators of the war were his two cheap older brothers.
Later records state that the two princes would become adversaries, followed by a tragic war. The battles between both sides were extremely fierce, and in the end, both were injured. The war caused the energy of the Dragon Veins to become chaotic, the land was damaged, and the Unova region was on the brink of destruction.
Finally, the Old King used Victini’s power to quell the uncontrolled Dragon Veins, but this also caused the Old King to lose his life, and Victini was forever confined within the Royal City.
