He patted the sand off his hands and praised Porygon.
"Pah~"
Porygon swung its legs happily. It never thought that the [High-Speed Movement] it had learned through hard practice could be used to save its trainer. It was simply amazing.
The super-giant Steelix flew out from the smoke and dust, and it didn't seem to be hurt.
Lean less.
The smoke dissipates.
The two of them looked at the Phantom Tower which had completely turned into a pile of yellow sand, and they felt a bit of strange emotions in their hearts, after all, they had just had an adventure in it not long ago.
"Ah! Fossils!"
Alice suddenly remembered why they had gone to so much trouble to retrieve their luggage. She opened her backpack and took out the two fossils inside. "As agreed, I'll give you one! You choose!"
Kashiwagi turned his head and saw that they were indeed claw fossils and rhizome fossils, just like in the game.
It is well preserved and there is no damage to the main body of the fossil.
He pulled out his phone and asked, "Mind if I ask a professional?"
"professional?"
"Well, I'm going to give it away."
Kashiwagi nodded, and after getting Alice's consent, he took pictures of the two fossils and sent them to Lisa who was far away in Kanaz City.
No doubt he intended to give the fossil to Daigo as a gift.
After all, he had always received a lot of care from this person, but apart from letting him study the wishing star, he had not been able to give any substantial rewards.
I can't really tell.
As the saying goes, reciprocity is the key to success. Even if you don't have any special intentions towards Daigo, giving the other person something he or she likes during festivals can help maintain and improve the relationship.
Just do what you like.
As for keeping it for myself... To be honest, instead of reviving a fossil Pokémon and raising it from scratch, it would be better to use the Pokémon clues I have accumulated earlier.
That was his destined Pokémon.
The phone vibrated, it was a reply from Lisa.
Ryza: "...Don't tell me this is a fossil you found."
Kashiwagi: "To be precise, it was discovered by someone else, but I was asked to pick a fossil at random. Which one do you think is more suitable for Daigo-san? I want to give it to him as a gift."
Lisa: "Ah - Arceus! How can there be such a lucky person like you in this world! It's only been a few days? Two weeks? One week? How many good things have you encountered! "
The researcher seemed to be obsessed with his "sunbathing" and started posting emojis with bloody knives.
It's like a paying mobile game player who has withdrawn his deposit but hasn't received any goods yet, and suddenly received a seal message saying "I got this from a newbie's single draw, is it useful?"
Kashiwagi: "Ahem, Ms. Ryza?"
Lisa: "Don't call me Miss Lisa! I don't deserve it! I don't deserve to have your line number, I'll delete it right now..."
Kashiwagi: "No, no, no, no... Next time I see a good stone, can't I give it to you?"
This person has been helping him identify things for free for such a long time and always replies within a minute, so it is only right that he gives him a small gift.
Lysa: "Really?"
Kashiwagi: "It is absolutely true."
Lisa: "Well... no! You're showing off again, aren't you? What do you mean by next time? Do you think good stones are the pebbles you picked up on the roadside?"
Kashiwagi: "I really don't mean that. Let's talk business. Which one is better?"
Ryza: "...That rhizome fossil, the one on the left. It's complete and in perfect condition, and the shape is also very good. If a knowledgeable fossil collector saw it, he would probably ask for tens of millions. After hatching, it will become a Tentacle Lily, a Pokémon that Daigo likes very much."
Kashiwagi: "Okay, thank you. I will definitely reward you next time."
Lisa: "If the reward is drying stones, I'll kill you. Seriously."
Scary and scary.
He put his phone away and looked up to find Alice interacting with Porygon and Steelix.
Even though he knew that Porygon was not a dragon-attribute Pokémon, the latter did not dislike it. Instead, he became more curious as Porygon displayed its power.
"I want this."
Kashiwagi picked up the fossilized rhizome on the ground and shook it.
"Good~"
Alice said nothing as she picked up another fossil and stuffed it into her bag.
It's getting late.
The two of them had been struggling in the Phantom Tower for nearly two hours. If they didn't hurry up, they would inevitably have to sleep in the desert, and this was definitely not part of Kashiwagi's plan.
"I'm planning on going to the Pokémon Center down south. What do you say? Where are you going next?"
he asked.
Alice looked around and smiled awkwardly, "I was planning to go to Meteor Falls... To be honest, I got lost here while chasing desert dragonflies and I have no idea where to go."
"I don't know where to go if I have a mobile phone..."
Kashiwagi was speechless about this guy's poor sense of direction. "Then let's go to the Pokémon Center and spend the night. We can talk about anything tomorrow."
"Uh-huh!"
Alice nodded quickly.
Chapter 399 Dragon Clan Civil War
On the dunes.
At dusk and sunset.
Looking into the distance, Kashiwagi saw the Pokémon Center with its huge Poké Ball sign glowing faintly, alongside the oasis in the sunset.
"It's here. It's not a mirage."
The soft warm light from the floor-to-ceiling windows came into view, unconsciously dispelling the heat and fatigue in his heart.
"It's finally here! Thank God!"
Alice and Axe-Tooth followed behind, and when they heard these words, they both burst into tears and fell to the ground in the sand, only slightly turning their heads to leave enough time for themselves to breathe.
The two walked from afternoon to evening under the scorching sun. The special desert environment was already a great test of physical strength.
This guy was fooled by the mirage twice in a row and ran a long distance in vain. When he saw a desert dragonfly, he chased it like crazy, consuming a lot of energy again.
Kashiwagi traveled with her for half a day, and the idea of traveling alone became stronger again and again.
of course.
Walking together is not without fun. Having a companion to chat with while walking can help you forget a lot of fatigue. It is very different from the feeling of chatting with Pokémon like Boscolo.
The two sides revealed a lot of personal information during the exchange.
Strictly speaking, Alice said more.
This person is similar to Xiaozhi. Whenever he chats with others, he can't help but describe his ideal of becoming a [Dragon Master].
Maybe I didn't have this habit before, but after traveling with Xiaozhi for a long time, I unconsciously developed it.
Nothing bad.
Apart from some annoying little devils and villains, most adults in the Pokémon animation world appreciate and support other people's ideals, so no one will laugh at them even if they are always on their lips.
Kashiwagi, who also has his own goals, is even less likely to laugh at her.
What's more, he will be the future champion of Unova, one of the eight masters of the World Championship, and the only powerful trainer who can reach this level without relying on any system.
No matter from which aspect you look at it, the strength is very admirable.
But it is limited to strength.
"Excuse me."
Kashiwagi strode into the Pokémon Center, with a frowning Dragonite behind him holding its sullen trainer, Elise.
As soon as the inner sensor door is opened, the cool air from the air conditioner rushes towards you.
Like spring breeze.
Even Alice, who had never been interested in air conditioning, now experienced what comfort was.
“So comfortable~”
Since the Pokémon Center is located near the desert, Miss Joy here is often very free and is very enthusiastic when a trainer comes to visit.
Kashiwagi and Alice handed in a bunch of Pokémon, and sat on the sofa in the center of the hall to rest, talking about the topic they hadn't finished talking about just now -
How to learn [Dragon Heart].
"So the key is to understand and empathize with the feelings of Dragon-type Pokémon and understand their thoughts."
"That's right!"
"Wouldn't that be a dead end? I want to use the Heart of Dragon to understand and empathize with the feelings of dragon-attribute Pokémon, but I have to understand and empathize with their feelings first?"
"Uh... it's a bit of an endless loop... ah! I don't understand the principle or anything like that!"
"I'm sorry to trouble you."
He apologized to Alice, who was scratching her head in frustration.
This is a natural ability, but I have to come up with a principle and logic for him to learn. It would be strange if others could figure it out, and it's good enough if they can cooperate.
It’s just that Kashiwagi is really interested in Dragon Heart.
After all, if he uses the clues next, he will most likely face a fully-formed dragon-attributed quasi-god that is not young and of a high level.
Having the Dragon Heart can quickly make that dragon-attribute Pokémon understand his feelings, and make him understand the feelings of those dragon-attribute Pokémon. Everyone can share what they have and benefit both themselves and others.
Otherwise, cultivating a quasi-god who is fully grown in all aspects is no less difficult than cultivating a quasi-god from scratch.
It’s a pity that learning Dragon’s Heart might be even harder!
