Chapter 361: Jubilife Village
The Village's Entrance was composed of two tall Watchtower.
When the people on the Watchtower saw Unfezant appear, they immediately shouted loudly, "Enemy Attack! There are Pokémon appearing! Enemy Attack!"
As the sound rang out, a large number of residents immediately gathered on the Watchtower. They all looked at Unfezant with tense expressions, weapons in their hands.
Speaking of weapons, they were just items like choppers, hoes, and rakes.
Bai Feng didn't hear clearly what the residents were shouting at first, so upon reaching the Village Entrance, he immediately urged Unfezant to land.
When he and Bai Ye got off Unfezant, they found themselves surrounded.
He used a Poké Ball to Recall Unfezant and quickly explained, "Hello everyone, I'm not a bad person. I'm just a lost traveler who wanted to come and ask for directions."
What Bai Feng didn't know was that the residents were even more bewildered than he was. They stared intently at the Poké Ball in Bai Feng's hand, filled with confusion.
Where did the Pokémon just go? How did it get into that tiny ball?
Just then, a blue short-haired female stepped forward and asked, "Why are you together with a Pokémon?" As she spoke, she kept glancing at Bai Ye beside him, her gaze full of vigilance.
This person was holding a steel sword as a weapon, one of the few among the residents with a proper weapon.
Hearing this, Bai Feng finally remembered that Human and Pokémon didn't seem to get along very well in this era.
"Gardevoir~ Gardevoir~"
Bai Ye also wanted to speak up for her darling, but as soon as she took a step forward, the residents kept retreating in fear.
"Don't come any closer!"
Some even fell down out of fear.
Bai Ye was a bit confused. Am I that scary?
She looked down at herself. She was clearly as beautiful as ever!
Seeing this, Bai Feng quickly pulled his Mother behind him.
Just then, Fennekin poked its head out from Bai Feng's clothes, greeting everyone in a friendly manner.
"Fennekin~ Fennekin~"
"Pokémon, another Pokémon!" Everyone was so scared they hastily retreated.
Seeing this, Bai Feng quickly pressed Fennekin's head back in and quietly whispered in his Mother's ear, "Mother, how about you go back to the Distortion Space to rest first?"
Seeing the residents all looking at her with terrified expressions, Bai Ye said helplessly, "Alright then."
So, under the surprised gaze of the residents, a vortex appeared beside Bai Feng, and Bai Ye walked into the vortex and disappeared.
At this point, the blue short-haired female frowned again and questioned, "Who exactly are you?"
Bai Feng explained helplessly, "I'm really just a lost traveler."
The residents were all full of disbelief, with expressions like "Are you trying to fool an idiot?"
"Why are you together with a fierce Pokémon?" the blue short-haired female continued to ask.
How was he supposed to explain this? Bai Feng felt a headache coming on. He finally understood that because Human and Pokémon had very little contact at this time, they had deep misunderstandings about each other.
For example, Pokémon believed Human were terrifying and would even hunt Pokémon for food; while Human believed Pokémon were brutal and would attack if approached.
"Maybe... it's because I was raised by Pokémon," Bai Feng said, half-truth, half-lie.
Upon hearing this, gasps of surprise came from the residents.
"Impossible, how could a Pokémon raise a Human child?"
"He said he was raised by Pokémon, is that true?"
"Oh my, wouldn't a Pokémon eat him?"
...
The residents discussed amongst themselves, talking over each other.
Although the residents didn't quite believe Bai Feng's words, they ultimately no longer surrounded him with hostility and invited Bai Feng to enter the Village to rest.
Through talking with the residents, Bai Feng finally learned the name of this Village - Jubilife Village.
Jubilife Village didn't originally exist in the Hisui region. Later, the Galaxy Team led by Ma Jia Mu came here.
The female who had just questioned Bai Feng with the steel sword was one of the Galaxy Team's Team Leader - Xing Yue.
The Member of the Galaxy Team came from various Region. Their purpose was to conduct ecological research in various areas and then evaluate places suitable for Human habitation.
Due to the existence of Pokémon, Human didn't dare to easily step into many places.
During the process of investigating the Hisui region's ecology, they established the current Village - Jubilife Village. Jubilife Village also became the Galaxy Team's Headquarters.
"Were you really raised by Pokémon?" a red-braided female leaned close to Bai Feng and asked in a low voice.
"Really, really," Bai Feng nodded.
This person was arranged by Xing Yue to take him to settle down in the Village.
"I just don't believe it!" the woman said with a suspicious look. "Oh right, my name is Bei Li La. I still don't know your name?"
Bei Li La was also one of the Galaxy Team's Team Leader. Along with Xing Yue, she was currently responsible for the Village's defense work.
"My name is Bai Feng," Bai Feng replied.
"Bai Feng, huh... even the name is a bit strange," Bei Li La muttered softly.
"Fennekin~ Fennekin~~"
Just then, Fennekin couldn't resist and poked its head out from Bai Feng's embrace.
"Wow, so cute!"
Although everyone said Pokémon were scary, upon seeing such a cute creature, Bei Li La couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Do you want to pet it?" Bai Feng asked.
"Can I?" Bei Li La hesitated.
"Of course. Actually, Pokémon aren't as scary as you imagine," Bai Feng said.
Bei Li La didn't completely believe Bai Feng's words, but she still tentatively stroked Fennekin's head.
"Fennekin~ Fennekin~"
Fennekin couldn't help but rub its head against Bei Li La's palm.
"It's so warm!" Bei Li La exclaimed.
"Right?" Bai Feng replied with narrowed eyes.
Bei Li La couldn't help but rub Fennekin's head harder.
It must be even warmer if I bury my head in its fluffy big tail! Bei Li La couldn't help but think.
Soon, Bai Feng was led to an empty house. Bei Li La pointed at the house and said, "You can stay here temporarily. If you need anything, you can come find me anytime!"
The Galaxy Team Member who established Jubilife Village came from various Region, for example, Team Leader Xing Yue was from the Hoenn region. Therefore, even though Bai Feng's origin was unknown, they were still willing to kindly take him in.
"Okay, thank you all," Bai Feng said gratefully. As the sky gradually darkened, if Jubilife Village hadn't been willing to take him in, he probably would have had to spend the night in the Wilds.
Although he usually didn't mind spending the night in the Wilds, he could just go into the Distortion Space to rest if needed. But suddenly traveling through time and arriving in a strange era, he inevitably felt a little uneasy.
"It's nothing, nothing," Bei Li La said cheerfully, patting Bai Feng's shoulder. "Just make yourself at Home. This place is currently unoccupied, so you can stay as long as you want."
After seeing Bei Li La off, Bai Feng let out a long sigh. This place didn't seem like somewhere he could find clues to help him go Home!
He looked around the house. There was a bed, a table, and chairs. Although simple, it had everything necessary.
He resignedly took out his blanket and mattress from his Space Backpack and laid them out, then lay on the bed, lost in thought.
"Fennekin~ Fennekin~"
Fennekin poked out and rubbed its small head against Bai Feng's cheek, as if comforting him.
Bai Feng rubbed Fennekin's head and said, "Thank you, Fennekin, but don't worry, I'm fine. I'm not that fragile."
*Clang~~*
Just then, Bai Feng seemed to hear something being knocked over Outside the Door. He quickly sat up to check, only to see a young child hastily hiding to the side.
After a while, a boy with dark blue hair tied in a small topknot cautiously poked his head out. He looked to be about eight or nine years old.
Seeing this, Bai Feng waved to him, "Come here!"
The boy then bravely walked into the door. As soon as he entered, his eyes were fixed on Fennekin, who was squatting on the bed.
Seeing this, Bai Feng asked, "Do you like Pokémon?"
The boy snapped back to attention and stammered, "No... no, I don't!"
"Want to pet it?" Seeing through his words, Bai Feng asked with a smile.
"S-since you said so, I'll reluctantly do it!"
The boy walked boldly to the side of the bed, his face beaming as he stroked Fennekin's soft fur.
*Hehehe~~~ So comfortable.*
"Big Brother, I heard everyone say you were raised by Pokémon, is that true?" The boy suddenly asked Bai Feng with curiosity.
"Of course. I wouldn't gain anything by lying to you!" Bai Feng replied with a smile.
"That's amazing, I knew it!" the boy said, his eyes sparkling.
"You knew what?" Bai Feng found the child very interesting.
Through their conversation, Bai Feng learned that the little boy's name was Gang Shi, and he was a descendant of the Ancients of Sinnoh.
The Ancients of Sinnoh were the earliest Ancient Sinnoh Human. They lived in Sanctum Town, which existed since the Hisui region's birth.
Later, Ancient Sanctum Town declined, and the residents dispersed. Their offspring thus drifted to other Region.
Later still, the descendants of the former Ancients of Sinnoh returned to the Hisui region and established the original Diamond Clan and Pearl Clan. Gang Shi's name was given to him by his father based on the Diamond Clan.
The Diamond Clan and Pearl Clan had conflicting philosophies. One worshipped the Legendary Pokémon Dialga, while the other worshipped another Legendary Pokémon, Palkia, and referred to the Pokémon they worshipped as the "August Lord of Sinnoh" (although the August Lord of Sinnoh originally worshipped by the Ancients of Sinnoh was Arceus).
Later, as time passed, both the Diamond Clan and Pearl Clan disbanded, and Gang Shi was a descendant of a Diamond Clan Member.
The stories he knew about the Diamond Clan were from a book at Home. The book described Pokémon as not being as scary as people said, but rather good partners for Human.
Therefore, he didn't dislike or fear Pokémon like others did.
"When I grow up, I must rebuild the Diamond Clan!" Gang Shi declared confidently.
"That's spirit!" Bai Feng praised.
"Hehehe~~~" It was the first time someone had agreed with his thought, and Gang Shi smiled shyly.
"What are you two talking about!" Just then, a blonde little girl poked her head out from the doorframe.
She had been hiding outside and eavesdropping for a long time. Seeing Bai Feng and Gang Shi chatting so happily, she finally couldn't resist the desire to join.
"Zhu Bei? Why are you here!"
Seeing the little girl, Gang Shi pouted unhappily.
"What? You can come, but I can't?" The little girl put her hands on her hips and glared at Gang Shi.
"I didn't say you couldn't come, why are you shouting so loud?" Gang Shi grumbled.
This little girl named Zhu Bei was a descendant of a Pearl Clan Member. She actually had a dream similar to Gang Shi's, which was to re-establish the Pearl Clan!
Unlike Gang Shi, who liked to shout things everywhere, Zhu Bei had never told anyone this secret.
However, while chatting with Bai Feng, Zhu Bei still expressed her idea. Gang Shi, hearing this secret for the first time, looked at Zhu Bei as if he had seen a ghost.
"You're actually someone with a great ambition just like me!"
Just as the Diamond Clan and Pearl Clan held different philosophies, Gang Shi and Zhu Bei had never gotten along well since they were young.
"What kind of gaze is that!" Zhu Bei felt uncomfortable being stared at by Gang Shi and hit him hard on the head with her fist.
"Both of you have great ambition. Since you have this ambition in your hearts, go ahead and do it boldly!" Bai Feng encouraged the two children.
Just like that, Bai Feng chatted with the two children for a long time before seeing them Outside the Door. He also learned more about Jubilife Village from the two children.
After the two children left, the sky outside completely darkened. Bai Feng thought for a moment and entered the Distortion Space, having dinner with his Pokémon.
The giant Dragonite was still sleeping on a Grassland in the Distortion Space. This time, when Bai Feng traveled through time, he accidentally brought it along.
Since catching the giant Dragonite, Bai Feng had never given up on researching it, but currently, he didn't have many clues.
However, he wasn't completely without discoveries.
This Dragonite's Inside the body had almost no ancient genetic factor. In other words, although its strength touched upon the legend, its energy circuit Inside the body didn't have energy crystals like Senior Ninetales and Meganium.
This was the same principle as Pokémon getting stronger by using Refined Shining Stone.
Early the next morning, Bai Feng wandered around the Village. At first, people were hesitant to approach him, but as they interacted more, they found Bai Feng to be a very friendly person, so they gradually became less resistant to talking with him.
Of course, this was on the condition that Bai Feng didn't let his Pokémon out.
After chatting with everyone in the Village for half the day, he still didn't find any useful clues.
Finally, he decided to go see the Forest, after all, that's where he entered the Hisui region.
When Bei Li La and Xing Yue learned that Bai Feng wanted to enter the Forest, they both advised him not to go too deep, otherwise, there would be danger. The Forest was inhabited by Zoroark, a Pokémon with spite towards Human!
Gang Shi and Zhu Bei learned that Bai Feng was going into the Forest and secretly came to ask Bai Feng to take them along. Bai Feng naturally refused; if anything went wrong, he couldn't bear the responsibility.
However, before he could leave the Village, he saw a strange radiance suddenly flashing in the distant Forest.
"What is that?" Bai Feng asked Xing Yue, who was standing beside him.
"I don't know," Xing Yue frowned.
Attracted by the radiance, everyone stood on the Watchtower at the Village Entrance to check the situation.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 362: The Beginning of the Bond Breaking the Ice
Just as everyone was watching, a cry suddenly came, and a Pokémon glowing with radiance and of immense size flew out from the Forest.
It was Braviary!
Unlike the Braviary Bai Feng had seen before, this Braviary's feathers were only gray and white, but its entire body emitted a special psychic field.
Hisuian Braviary, the Battle Cry Pokémon, Psychic Type and Flying Type. It is very different from the Normal and Flying Type regular Braviary Bai Feng knew, both in appearance and ability.
That Braviary, for some unknown problem, was flying unsteadily towards the Village.
Seeing this scene, everyone immediately panicked.
"The Pokémon is here, what should we do?"
"We can't possibly defeat it!"
"Is the Village going to face destruction?"
...
"Everyone, quiet down, don't panic." Xing Yue tried hard to maintain order, but everyone's fear of Pokémon was deeply ingrained, so she couldn't persuade them.
Seeing that the Braviary was about to reach the Village, Bai Feng said to Xing Yue, "Leave that Pokémon to me!"
After speaking, Bai Feng used psychic power to fly out.
"Bai Feng, danger! Don't!" Hearing this, Xing Yue quickly spoke up to stop him, but it was already too late.
Just like that, everyone watched Bai Feng fly towards the Braviary.
Bai Feng intercepted the Braviary in the Plaza in front of the Village. As soon as he faced it, Bai Feng felt a massive psychic power rushing towards him.
The Braviary indeed had a problem. At this moment, it seemed to have lost its sanity, becoming extremely violent and wanting to attack anything it saw.
"Wo~~~"
Purple radiance flashed on the Braviary's body, and a pair of phantom wings suddenly appeared, slashing fiercely towards Bai Feng.
This was Hisuian Braviary's unique move, Esper Wing.
Seeing this scene, the villagers on the Watchtower all changed color, fearing that Bai Feng would be cut in two.
But Bai Feng did not encounter the danger they expected. His figure flashed, and he used Teleport to dodge the attack.
Immediately after, a vortex appeared, and the Unfezant, which had been placed in the Distortion Space, emerged from it.
"Goo goo goo~~~"
Unfezant spread its wings, let out a long cry towards the sky, and faced the Braviary with full aura, its fighting spirit burning fiercely in its eyes.
"Another Pokémon came out!" Seeing Unfezant, the villagers exclaimed in surprise.
"That seems to be the Pokémon Bai Feng rode when he came to the Village yesterday!" Bei Li La said. "Strange, where did he hide his Pokémon?"
Amidst the villagers' exclamations, Unfezant and Braviary faced off.
"Goo goo goo~~~"
Unfezant roared, its wings flashing with dark radiance as it crashed into the Braviary.
The Braviary barely hesitated for a moment, its wings vibrating rapidly. Air Slashes appeared out of thin air, cutting towards Unfezant.
But Unfezant's wings were even sharper. It only slightly adjusted the angle of its body's flight and easily destroyed the Braviary's Air Cutter.
Bang!!!
With a loud noise, Unfezant fiercely tackled the Braviary. The Braviary cried out and fell from the sky.
The Psychic Type Braviary was countered by the Dark type Night Slash, and coupled with Unfezant triggering its "passive" "Critical Hit on every Move", the Braviary suffered heavy damage from this attack.
Just then, Bai Feng saw a tiny Pokémon flying unsteadily out of the Forest.
"Wuwuwu~~~" Father! Father!
Bai Feng looked closely and saw that it was the Rufflet he had encountered yesterday.
Seeing that the Rufflet was about to fly towards the Braviary, Bai Feng shouted, "Danger!"
The Braviary had already fallen into a frenzy and didn't care who was coming. It swung out an Air Slash, ready to attack.
At this critical moment, a ring appeared behind the Rufflet, and a hand reached out from the ring, held the Rufflet, and returned to the ring.
The Air Slash attack missed.
"Your Father has lost his sanity and doesn't recognize you now. Don't go near it!" Bai Feng said to the Rufflet in his arms.
"Wuwuwu~~~"
The Rufflet cried sadly.
"Wo~~~"
The injured Braviary flew up from the Ground again and launched another attack towards Bai Feng. Unfezant immediately blocked it.
Bai Feng kept comforting the Rufflet, saying, "Don't worry, everything will be fine soon."
Finally, after another Night Slash from Unfezant, the Braviary fell to the Ground, unable to get up.
Bai Feng landed in front of the unconscious Braviary with the Rufflet and began to inspect the Braviary's condition.
Soon, Bai Feng discovered a special power remaining in the Braviary's body. It was this power that caused the Braviary to lose its sanity, but this power was completely different from any power Bai Feng had encountered before, and he didn't know what it was.
Fortunately, this power was gradually dissipating as time passed. He believed the Braviary would recover soon.
Seeing the Rufflet still crying on its Father's body, Bai Feng stroked its head and said, "It's okay now. After your Father wakes up, it will return to normal."
"Really?" the Rufflet asked with tears in its eyes.
"Really." Bai Feng nodded.
The Rufflet finally felt relieved.
Then Bai Feng asked the Rufflet about the reason for the Braviary's abnormality, but unfortunately, the Rufflet didn't know.
When its Father had the accident, it happened to be playing elsewhere.
At this moment, the villagers also rushed over.
"Bai Feng, are you okay?" they asked, speaking over each other.
"Everyone, don't worry, I'm fine, and the Pokémon has been dealt with. There's no more danger!" Bai Feng explained.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but when they looked at the unconscious Braviary, the frightened Rufflet, and the imposing Unfezant, their gaze still carried fear.
Bai Feng quickly said, "Actually, Pokémon aren't as scary as you think. They don't eat humans. Even this crazed Braviary was affected by some unknown factor."
To prove his words, Bai Feng picked up the Rufflet and also stroked Unfezant's neck.
Seeing this scene, everyone was so scared they quickly moved a little further away from Bai Feng.
Bai Feng was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Just then, Gang Shi's clear voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, "Big Brother, can I touch that Pokémon?"
"Why are you here, kid? Who let you follow? Don't you know it's very dangerous?" Bei Li La lifted Gang Shi up by the collar of his clothes.
Gang Shi was small and could only kick his feet helplessly in the air. "Sister Bei Li La, let go of me! With Big Brother here, there won't be any danger!"
"You kid!" Bei Li La tapped Gang Shi on the head before putting him down.
After getting free, Gang Shi darted over to Bai Feng's side and reached out to touch the Rufflet.
The Rufflet was trembling with fear.
Is this human going to eat me? I'm still small, there's no meat!
Bai Feng seemed to see through the Rufflet's thoughts and gently comforted it, saying, "Don't worry, humans don't eat Pokémon. Gang Shi is a good child, he won't hurt you!"
"That's right, that's right!" Hearing Bai Feng's words, Gang Shi quickly nodded at the Rufflet.
The Rufflet's gaze met Gang Shi's. It seemed to feel Gang Shi's sincere heart and finally stopped being so scared, its tense body gradually relaxing.
Seeing the interaction between the Rufflet and Gang Shi, the villagers suddenly felt a little less afraid of Pokémon.
"Can I touch it too?"
Just then, Zhu Bei's voice also rang out. It turned out she had also sneaked out with Gang Shi.
"You two disobedient children!" Bei Li La said helplessly.
Just like that, Zhu Bei also went up to the Rufflet and interacted with it.
However, compared to the young Rufflet, Zhu Bei still preferred the majestic Unfezant. Unfortunately, Unfezant wasn't willing to pay attention to this little shorty.
"Everyone, the Braviary is currently unconscious. I'd like to bring it into the Village to care for it until it wakes up, okay?" Bai Feng looked at everyone and asked.
"This..."
Everyone looked at each other, unsure how to answer for a moment.
Bai Feng then continued, "I can guarantee that the Braviary will not harm anyone. If any problems arise, I will take full responsibility."
Actually, Bai Feng's true purpose was to let the villagers slowly come into contact with and understand Pokémon, so they would know that Pokémon weren't that scary.
Suddenly, Bai Feng seemed to understand something. He felt that since he had traveled through time to get here, he should do something meaningful in this era. So, let's start by breaking the ice in the bond between Pokémon and humans!
"Everyone, just agree! Big Brother said so!" Gang Shi assisted Bai Feng from the side.
"That's right, that's right! Big Brother is so amazing, even if there's a problem, he can definitely solve it." Seeing that Gang Shi had spoken up, Zhu Bei naturally didn't want to be outdone.
"Alright!"
After much hesitation, Xing Yue finally agreed to Bai Feng's request on behalf of everyone.
"Yay! Yay!"
Gang Shi and Zhu Bei jumped and bounced happily.
Just like that, Bai Feng brought the Braviary and Rufflet into the Village. Along the way, villagers came out one after another to watch.
Under Xing Yue's arrangement, Bai Feng settled the Braviary in a Shed, which was where the villagers stored fodder.
Because they feared Pokémon, the villagers did not rashly approach the Braviary and Rufflet. After satisfying their curiosity, they dispersed, leaving only Gang Shi and Zhu Bei still playing with the Rufflet.
When Bai Feng came out of the Shed, he suddenly noticed a young person carrying a bundle looking at him.
Seeing Bai Feng look over, the young person walked straight up to him. "Hello, Mister Bai Feng."
"You are?" Bai Feng asked, puzzled.
"My name is Volo, a merchant from the Ginkgo Guild." The young person introduced himself.
The Ginkgo Guild is a merchant caravan that operates throughout the Hisui region, collecting supplies. They provide great convenience for the Galaxy Team's ecological research in the Hisui region, which is why there are many of their people active in Jubilife Village.
Volo?
Bai Feng felt that the other party's gaze when looking at him was a bit off, filled with scrutiny, curiosity, and desire.
"Hello, do you need something from me?"
Volo shook his head. "I'm just a little curious about Mister Bai Feng. I heard everyone say you are a traveler, so you must have very rich adventure experiences. I wonder if you could tell me about them?"
Bai Feng felt wary of this person and naturally didn't want to interact with him much, so he refused, saying, "Sorry, I'm a bit tired right now."
Volo looked disappointed. "Alright then, I'll visit Mister Bai Feng another day." After saying that, he stepped on the snow and left.
After Volo left, Bai Feng suddenly remembered that in the game, Volo seemed to be a behind-the-scenes boss!
There was nothing he could do. After transmigrating for so many years, many of Bai Feng's memories of his previous life had become blurred.
Moreover, he had transmigrated into the setting of the original work anime, while Volo seemed to be a character who only appeared in the game. He didn't know if the Volo here was the same as the Volo in the game.
However, just in case, Bai Feng still felt he should do something!
Thinking this, he summoned Deoxys from the Distortion Space.
"Deoxys, could I trouble you to quietly monitor that person who just left?"
"No problem!" Deoxys nodded.
"Thank you, be careful." Bai Feng said gratefully.
After Deoxys nodded, its body gradually became transparent and soon disappeared in front of Bai Feng.
The next day, Bai Feng went to visit the Braviary and found that it had woken up. It was now actually helping the villagers with work in the Village, bringing the Rufflet along.
The Braviary was originally afraid of humans, but after learning that humans had rescued and taken it in, and with the Rufflet's persuasion, it gradually let go of its wariness towards humans.
Of course, the help of these two little guys, Gang Shi and Zhu Bei, was also indispensable.
After the Braviary woke up, the two of them brought food and hot water, taking meticulous care of the Braviary and Rufflet. This was what allowed the Braviary to quickly let go of its prejudice against humans.
The Braviary is a Psychic-type Pokémon and can do many things with psychic power. It got up early in the morning to help the villagers transport goods, so gradually the villagers also lowered their guard against it.
Seeing that the father and son were getting along quite well with the villagers, Bai Feng nodded with satisfaction. The first step of the long march had finally been taken.
Just then, Xing Yue found him.
"Bai Feng, our Boss wants to see you!"
The Boss of the Galaxy Team, the Leader of Jubilife Village, Ma Jia Mu wanted to see him?
Led by Xing Yue, Bai Feng came to the Galaxy Team Headquarters in Jubilife Village. Here, Bai Feng met the other three Team Leaders of the Galaxy Team besides Xing Yue and Bei Li La: Arezu, Lian, and Pesselle.
Seeing Bai Feng enter, Ma Jia Mu said with a smile, "Welcome, Bai Feng. Thanks to your help yesterday, otherwise we would have been in trouble."
Hearing this, Bai Feng quickly waved his hand and said humbly, "Not at all. You allowed me to stay here temporarily, preventing me from sleeping on the Street. I just helped with a small matter, it's nothing!"
After some pleasantries, Ma Jia Mu explained to Bai Feng the reason for inviting him here.
It turned out they planned to send a team to the Forest to check the situation, so they wanted to invite Bai Feng to accompany them.
For a long time, the Pokémon in the Pure White Forest and the humans outside the Forest had coexisted peacefully. This time, the Braviary suddenly went mad and ran out of the Forest, which made everyone feel very uneasy.
Especially the mysterious light in the Forest before the Braviary came out yesterday? Could that be the reason for the Braviary's abnormality?
In short, everyone felt uneasy without a clear investigation.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 363: Imparting Knowledge
"I wonder if I could trouble you just this once," Ma Jia Mu asked sincerely.
"Of course, no problem!" Bai Feng nodded. "I'm also very curious about the reason for the Braviary's abnormality."
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Ma Jia Mu said, gripping Bai Feng's hands tightly.
After some discussion, the Galaxy Team decided to have Bai Feng, Xing Yue, and Bei Li La lead a team to explore the Forest together.
As Bai Feng and Xing Yue's group came out of the Galaxy Team Headquarters, they saw a young man running over quickly.
"Wait, everyone!"
"You are...?" Bai Feng asked, puzzled.
"Oh, isn't this Xiao Xing!" Before the young man could answer, Bei Li La said with a smile, "You haven't been back for quite a few years. Your father is now settled in our village. Have you seen him?"
Xiao Xing's father was a carpenter. He originally lived in another Region, but he would come to Jubilife Village every year to purchase timber. He had just settled in Jubilife Village not long ago.
When Xiao Xing was little, he often followed his father to Jubilife Village, but after growing up, he became a doctor's apprentice and hadn't been back to Jubilife Village for a long time.
The grown-up Xiao Xing was almost no different from when he was a child, essentially just a larger version of his younger self, which is why Bei Li La recognized him at a glance.
"Y-yes, I've seen him," Xiao Xing said, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
"Is there something you came back for this time?" Xing Yue asked next.
"I came back to collect a certain medicinal herb in the Pure White Forest!" Xiao Xing explained. "I heard you were going into the Forest for investigation, so I was wondering if you could take me with you."
"This..."
Xing Yue and Bei Li La looked at Bai Feng simultaneously.
"If you agree, I have no opinion," Bai Feng said indifferently.
"Alright then, Xiao Xing can come too." Xing Yue and Bei Li La exchanged glances before agreeing.
Although Xiao Xing was currently just a doctor's apprentice, if anyone got injured in the Forest, he could be of some use.
Hearing Xing Yue and Bei Li La's words, Xiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I'll go back and get ready!" With that, he quickly ran off.
About an hour later, the exploration team gathered at the village entrance. Including Bai Feng, Xiao Xing, Xing Yue, and Bei Li La, there were a total of twenty people.
Everyone carried their bags, clearly prepared to spend the night in the Forest.
Upon entering the Forest, Xiao Xing, the doctor's apprentice, started getting busy. Soon, he discovered a medicinal herb and quickly ran towards it.
Just as he pulled the medicinal herb out of the Snowfield, he heard a sound behind him.
"Is that Healing Grass?"
Xiao Xing looked back and saw that the person standing behind him was Mister Bai Feng, who was accompanied by his Pokémon.
"Mister Bai Feng, do you know this kind of herb?" Xiao Xing asked, surprised.
"I know a little," Bai Feng nodded.
After all, he had studied in the Pokémon World for over ten years and usually liked to read books, so even if he wasn't proficient in herb knowledge, he knew the basics he should know.
"This is an herb that can treat external injuries and can also be used to make Potions and Revive Fragments!" Bai Feng continued.
Healing Grass looks like a leek, and a mature plant is usually between 20-30 centimeters tall, but only the root has medicinal effect.
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Xiao Xing's eyes instantly lit up. "Mister Bai Feng, please tell me more knowledge about Healing Grass!"
Medical knowledge at this time was far less advanced than in the modern Pokémon World. Many medicinal herbs had not been discovered and utilized. As a doctor's apprentice, Xiao Xing was practically thirsty for medical knowledge.
Bai Feng was not stingy and imparted all the knowledge he knew to Xiao Xing. It wasn't limited to just Healing Grass; he also told Xiao Xing about other medicinal herbs encountered along the way, such as Bug-Repel Grass, Vitality Bud, King's Leaf, etc., and even shared several Potion recipes.
Xiao Xing couldn't put them down!
Before long, Xiao Xing's gaze towards Bai Feng was filled with admiration.
"Mister Bai Feng, you are truly too knowledgeable."
Bai Feng quickly waved his hand and said humbly, "It's just some insignificant knowledge. It's good if it can help you."
Hearing this, Xiao Xing immediately refuted seriously, "Mister Bai Feng, the precious knowledge you've imparted to me can save countless Humans. How can you describe it as insignificant?"
"You're exaggerating too much," Bai Feng said again. "Actually, it's not just medicinal herbs that can heal injuries and treat illnesses; many Pokémon can do it too. For example, their moves Heal Pulse, Life Dew... and also things like the honey and milk they produce..."
Hearing this, Xiao Xing suddenly fell silent. After a long while, he looked up at Bai Feng and said, "Mister Bai Feng, do you think Pokémon and Humans can truly coexist peacefully?"
"Of course!" Bai Feng said decisively.
Bai Feng's tone was so firm that Xiao Xing was slightly lost in thought.
"Look, aren't Unfezant, Fennekin, and I good examples?"
Bai Feng's words plunged Xiao Xing into a long silence, his thoughts drifting far away.
Actually, Xiao Xing also liked Pokémon very much when he was a child. He even made a Pokémon good friend in the Pure White Forest.
It was an evening. His father was cutting timber in the Forest, and he was wandering around bored. Then, a small fox-like Pokémon appeared before him.
That Pokémon was practicing something. The energy on its body kept changing, as if trying to turn into a ghostly figure.
But the things it transformed into were too funny, not scary at all. Xiao Xing couldn't help but laugh out loud, and his laughter attracted the Pokémon's attention.
Just like that, the Human and the Pokémon became acquainted.
The first time Xiao Xing witnessed the healing effect of Healing Grass was because of that Pokémon.
While playing with the Pokémon, he accidentally fell down a Cliff and injured his ankle.
Although the Cliff wasn't high, he couldn't climb up no matter what because of his injuries. Finally, that Pokémon brought Healing Grass, healed his injuries, and climbed up the Cliff with him.
At that time, Xiao Xing was naive. Afterwards, he took that Pokémon, wanting to introduce it to his father, but when his father saw it, his face was filled with terror.
His father was afraid of Pokémon, very afraid!
Later, Xiao Xing learned that his mother had died at the hands of a Pokémon, which was why his father was so afraid of Pokémon.
Xiao Xing had no impression of his mother. He had depended on his father since he could remember. Later, he learned from his father that when he was very young, his mother went into the Forest to collect medicinal herbs but encountered two Pokémon fighting.
Those two Pokémon caused a forest fire, and the entire Forest was burned down. His mother also remained in the Forest forever.
His mother's cause of death and his father's fear plunged Xiao Xing, who originally liked Pokémon, into confusion. In the following years, he devoted himself to researching medical knowledge and never returned to Jubilife Village.
Bai Feng didn't know about Xiao Xing's experiences. Seeing him silent, he didn't say anything more and walked quietly beside him.
Fortunately, Xiao Xing was only lost for a moment. Soon, he started asking Bai Feng for advice on various medicinal herbs again.
After walking for who knows how long, Bai Feng and his group crossed the River, climbed over the Cliff, and gradually reached the Depths of the forest.
Suddenly, a Member pointed at the Sky and shouted, "Look!"
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed. In the distance, strange purple radiance kept flashing in the Sky, accompanied by streaks of dark lightning.
"Roar~~~"
Immediately after, an angry roar came from that direction.
Before everyone could react, a giant brown bear Pokémon crashed through the trees and charged towards them.
"Ahhh!!!"
"Quick, dodge! It's a rampaging Pokémon!"
...
The exploration team Members screamed and scattered to dodge.
Without a word, Bai Feng immediately summoned Tyranitar.
"Tyranitar!!!"
Tyranitar roared, charged fiercely at the rampaging Pokémon, grabbed it, and threw it aside.
The rampaging Pokémon was Ursaluna, the Peat Pokémon, a Ground/Normal type. Legend says it received mysterious protection from Arceus.
The two huge Pokémon battled together, making the others tremble with fear.
At this moment, Xiao Xing noticed that there were several Abomasnow in the distance protecting two Snover. Those two Snover were clearly injured, both caused by the rampaging Ursaluna.
He quickly ran over, wanting to use the Healing Grass he had just collected to treat the Snover.
Seeing this scene, Xing Yue and the others quickly shouted, "Xiao Xing, don't! Danger!"
The Abomasnow became alert immediately upon seeing Humans approaching, but they didn't attack rashly. In fact, they were also afraid of Humans in their hearts.
Xiao Xing carefully held up the Healing Grass in his hand. "I want to treat them. I have no ill intentions."
Looking at the suffering Snover, the Abomasnow hesitated repeatedly, but finally decided to let Xiao Xing help with the healing.
Under the healing of the Healing Grass, the injuries of the two Snover lessened, and their pain decreased. The Abomasnow looked at Xiao Xing gratefully.
However, just then, another rampaging Pokémon appeared. It was a Garchomp, and it roared as it charged towards Xiao Xing.
Seeing this scene, the other exploration team Members nearby shouted in terror, "Xiao Xing, be careful!"
At this critical moment, the two Abomasnow suddenly crashed into the Garchomp, barely repelling it and giving Xiao Xing a chance to catch his breath.
Seeing this, Xiao Xing quickly held the two Snover and moved away from the battle range of the Garchomp and the two Abomasnow.
Looking at the Abomasnow fighting the Garchomp, Xing Yue and the others couldn't help but be astonished. Pokémon were actually fighting for Humans.
If it were before, they would definitely think this was a fantasy.
Unfortunately, although Abomasnow had a type counter against Garchomp, its own strength was too far below Garchomp's, and it was quickly knocked down onto the Ground by Garchomp.
Garchomp's speed was extremely fast. It glided through the Sky and charged towards the running Xiao Xing again.
In the Sky, Bai Feng's Dragonair had already arrived for the rescue. However, there was a Pokémon whose speed was even faster than Dragonair's.
A Pokémon writhing with spite energy suddenly appeared, blocking the Garchomp's path. Sharp gaze flickered in its golden pupils.
Garchomp froze on the Original spot instantly.
This was a Hisuian Form Zoroark!
After rescuing Xiao Xing, Zoroark gave Xiao Xing a deep look. It didn't continue to entangle with the Garchomp but chose to turn around and run.
Seeing this, Dragonair quickly descended from the Sky and stopped the Garchomp, which wanted to continue rampaging.
At this moment, Xiao Xing seemed to have thought of something. He handed the Snover in his arms to Xing Yue and Bei Li La and took off running after the Zoroark.
"Wait! Wait!"
Soon, Xiao Xing disappeared from everyone's sight, chasing after the Zoroark.
What was Bai Feng doing at this moment? He was researching the strange radiance in the Sky.
Looking from afar, it seemed as if cracks were appearing in the Sky. Strange energy overflowed from them, turning into streaks of dark lightning.
Bai Feng recognized this energy. It was exactly the same as the energy that caused the Braviary to rampage.
Bai Feng used his Psychic Power and flew towards the cracks, wanting to investigate the reason for their appearance.
Crackle~ Crackle~~
Lightning kept striking Bai Feng, but it was blocked by the barrier he created using his Psychic Power.
Just as he was about to approach the cracks, even seeing figures flickering in the distance within the cracks, the cracks suddenly closed.
Bai Feng: ...
Damn it, would it kill you to wait a few more seconds!
However, at this moment, he already had some hypotheses in his mind.
These cracks were clearly space cracks, mixed with some other power.
In Sinnoh, when talking about space, one has to mention the deity who governs space—Palkia. And when mentioning Palkia, one also has to mention another Pokémon related to time—Dialga.
Could my transmigration have been caused by Dialga? Then is the opportunity for me to return also related to these two Pokémon?
The cracks had disappeared, and Bai Feng could only helplessly fly back to the Ground. At this moment, all he could think about was how to find Dialga and Palkia.
By this time, the battle between Tyranitar and Dragonair had ended. Ursaluna and Garchomp were not their opponents. They won with almost no pressure.
Seeing Bai Feng recall Tyranitar and Dragonair into Poké Balls, Bei Li La leaned over and asked, "What kind of treasure is this that can hold Pokémon!"
Bai Feng thought to himself: Right, the popularization of Poké Balls was an important turning point in the shift in the bond between Pokémon and Humans in recent times!
It seems I still need to let the people of Jubilife Village know how to make Poké Balls. This will make it easier to spur the birth of Pokémon Trainers!
Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to make Poké Balls either. What a trouble! I'll find Ma Jia Mu later and see about the situation!
"These are Poké Balls. I'll tell you more about them later. For now, let's check on the Pokémon," Bai Feng said to Bei Li La.
Hearing this, Bei Li La reluctantly moved her gaze away from the Poké Balls.
By this time, Xiao Xing had returned, and a Zoroark was following him.
"Xiao Xing, this Zoroark?" Bai Feng asked, surprised.
"Mister Bai Feng, this is my friend!" Xiao Xing said excitedly.
He thought about Mister Bai Feng's words for a long time and finally decided not to run away anymore. He wanted to always be with his good friend.
Bai Feng smiled upon hearing this.
"Excellent!"
The bond between Humans and Pokémon took another small step forward.
At the same time, Bei Li La looked at the Abra beside Xing Yue and asked with a surprised expression, "Xing Yue, where did this Pokémon come from?"
Xing Yue shrugged helplessly and said, "It insisted on sticking close to me, so there's nothing I could do."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 364: Jubilife Village's Small Step, Humanity's Great Leap
After some discussion, everyone decided that the investigation for the day would end here and they would temporarily return to the Village.
As for the unconscious Garchomp and Ursaluna, at Bai Feng's suggestion, they were brought back to the Village together.
When everyone returned with several Pokémon, it caused a big stir in the Village, especially Xing Yue, who was accompanied by Abra, and Xiao Xing, who was accompanied by Zoroark. They instantly became the subject of discussion among everyone in the Village.
Not long after, Ursaluna and Garchomp woke up under Bai Feng's healing and also regained their senses.
While Bai Feng was healing the Pokémon, Xiao Xing also stayed with him the entire time.
Since breaking his psychological shackles, Xiao Xing was no longer content with being just a human doctor's apprentice; he also wanted to become a Pokémon Doctor.
His ambition received Bai Feng's support and affirmation, so when he asked Bai Feng for guidance, Bai Feng basically told him everything he knew without reservation.
Xiao Xing was a studious person. Since Bai Feng wasn't specialized in medicine, some of his knowledge was vague. At these times, Xiao Xing would research on his own based on Bai Feng's hints.
After a conversation with Ursaluna and Garchomp, these two Pokémon listened to Bai Feng and stayed in the Village.
They overcame their fear of Humans and often helped the villagers with work alongside Braviary, then were fed by the villagers.
The Pokémon's work efficiency was very high, and they quickly won the villagers' favor. Gradually, everyone finally stopped being so resistant to Pokémon.
On this day, Bai Feng came to the Galaxy Team Headquarters and met with Leader Ma Jia Mu.
"Bai Feng, I heard you were looking for me?" Ma Jia Mu said happily as soon as he saw Bai Feng.
He really liked this young man who had repeatedly saved Jubilife Village from crisis.
"Yes, I have something I'd like to discuss with you, regarding the future development of Jubilife Village," Bai Feng said solemnly.
"Oh?" Ma Jia Mu looked surprised. "Go ahead and speak your mind, I'm listening."
Bai Feng organized his thoughts, cleared his throat, and said, "Boss Ma Jia Mu, I wonder if you've considered changing the bond between Humans and Pokémon?"
Ma Jia Mu was taken aback. "You mean?"
"Just like how I get along with Pokémon, Humans and Pokémon seeing each other as partners!" Bai Feng explained.
"This..." Ma Jia Mu looked troubled. "Can that really be done?"
"Of course!" Bai Feng said affirmatively. "Come and see!"
Saying this, he walked to the Window and opened it.
"Take a look!"
Ma Jia Mu walked over to Bai Feng and looked in the direction he was pointing. He saw Ursaluna and Garchomp helping the villagers move heavy grain, Braviary assisting the villagers in repairing houses, and Rufflet playing with the children in the Plaza.
The adults' cheers, the children's laughter, everything looked so beautiful and harmonious.
"Pokémon can not only help us in our daily lives, but they can also provide safety for the Village!" Bai Feng continued. "Think about it, if the Village is attacked by Pokémon again, and our Village has its own Pokémon, wouldn't the crisis be resolved?"
Bai Feng's words made Ma Jia Mu fall into deep thought.
"The previous times I was here, so the Village was safe and sound, but I can't stay in the Village forever! Recently, the Pokémon in Pure White Forest have been acting strangely. In response to this phenomenon, the Village must prepare early!"
Bai Feng's words made Ma Jia Mu's heart waver more and more.
After a long silence, Ma Jia Mu finally made up his mind and said, "Alright, but as for how exactly to do it, I'd like to hear your suggestions!"
"Of course!" Bai Feng nodded in agreement.
So the two of them got together to discuss how to establish a new bond between Pokémon and the villagers.
After some discussion, Ma Jia Mu decided to first establish a Pokémon Security Corps in the Village. They would start by having a portion of people form partner bonds with Pokémon, and after the villagers completely accepted Pokémon, they would promote it throughout the entire Village.
After discussing the series of matters regarding the formation of the Security Corps, Bai Feng took out a Poké Ball and said to Ma Jia Mu, "Boss Ma Jia Mu, let me show you something."
Seeing the Poké Ball in Bai Feng's hand, Boss Ma Jia Mu's eyes lit up. He had already heard from Xing Yue and the others that Bai Feng had a magical item that could store Pokémon. Could this be it?
"What is this?" Ma Jia Mu asked.
"This is a Poké Ball."
"Poké Ball?"
"Yes, in my Hometown, Pokémon are also called 'sprites', so the item where Pokémon reside is called a Poké Ball," Bai Feng explained.
"I see!" Ma Jia Mu suddenly understood.
"Boss Ma Jia Mu, haven't you always wondered where I came from?" Bai Feng suddenly said.
Hearing this, Ma Jia Mu perked up his ears.
"Actually, I came from over a thousand years in the future. I accidentally fell into a space-time rift, which is why I ended up here," Bai Feng finally revealed his hidden secret.
"What?!" Hearing this, Ma Jia Mu raised his voice in disbelief. "Are you telling the truth?"
Bai Feng nodded. "Look at my Poké Ball, and then look at this Space Backpack. These are things that only exist a thousand years from now."
Looking at the various magical means Bai Feng displayed, Ma Jia Mu finally believed Bai Feng's words.
"I see... I see..." Ma Jia Mu kept muttering.
"A thousand years from now, it's very common for Humans and Pokémon to form partners. We call these people Pokémon Trainers. They live, adventure, and work together with Pokémon... Every aspect of Human life is filled with the presence of Pokémon, and they have formed an inseparable whole with Pokémon..."
Bai Feng kept describing the scene of people living together with Pokémon in the future to Ma Jia Mu.
"It's too amazing... too amazing..." Ma Jia Mu kept muttering.
"I brought out the Poké Ball to give everyone a reference, to see if we can develop Jubilife Village's own Poké Balls!" Bai Feng continued. "I don't know much about the manufacturing of Poké Balls myself, so I can't provide much help, only a sample.
If we can develop Poké Balls, it will definitely have a milestone effect in promoting the further development of the bond between Pokémon and Humans!"
Ma Jia Mu took the Poké Ball from Bai Feng's hand and said gratefully, "Leave this matter to me. Whether we can make it or not, we will remember your kindness!"
Ma Jia Mu had a hunch that this young man named Bai Feng might bring about an incredible change to the Hisui region.
"Boss Ma Jia Mu, you're too kind," Bai Feng said, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Oh, right, about me being from the future... please keep it a secret."
"Don't worry, I won't tell a third person," Ma Jia Mu said after a moment of thought.
Not long after Bai Feng left the Galaxy Team Headquarters, an announcement was posted on the Village's Notice Board.
As soon as the announcement was posted, the villagers eagerly gathered around.
"Can someone tell me what the announcement says?"
"Let me see, let me see!"
"Oh my, the announcement says the Village is going to form a Pokémon Security Corps!"
"Pokémon Security Corps? What's that?"
"It's a team where Humans and Pokémon form partners and protect the Village together."
"Form partners with Pokémon? Oh my, that's too scary, I wouldn't want to!"
"Whether you want to or not is your business. I really like Ursaluna, who helps everyone with work. If they're really forming a Security Corps, count me in!"
"Right, count me in too!"
"And me! And me!"
...
The villagers discussed the content of the announcement animatedly.
Volo was also mixed in with the villagers. He looked at the content on the announcement, his expression uncertain, then turned and left without a word.
What he didn't know was that after he left, a transparent figure quietly followed behind him.
Xiao Xing's father was also in the crowd. He watched the villagers enthusiastically discussing the Security Corps, then turned and left, returning Home.
At Home, Xiao Xing was about to make medicine according to the Potion recipe Bai Feng had taught him. Seeing his father return, he looked up and forced a smile.
"Father, you're back!"
Ever since he brought Zoroark Home that day, his father had been giving him the cold shoulder.
Xiao Xing's father ignored his son's greeting and walked straight into the house, but as he passed by his son, he suddenly stopped.
After a long silence, his father's voice sounded in Xiao Xing's ear, "The Village is forming a Pokémon Security Corps. If you want to go... then go."
Xiao Xing was stunned when he heard this, and wild joy surged in his heart. By the time he looked up, his father had already walked far away, leaving only a dim and unclear figure behind.
"Zoro~~~"
Just then, Zoroark walked out of the shadows. When Xiao Xing's father was around, it usually hid. It knew Xiao Xing's father didn't like it.
Xiao Xing stared at his father's back until he disappeared, then he suddenly looked at Zoroark and said, "Zoroark, let's go, let's sign up!"
"Zoro~~"
Zoroark narrowed its eyes and nodded.
Just like that, one person and one Pokémon ran out of the Home.
By the time they arrived at the Village Plaza, the Security Corps registration had already begun. The ones organizing the registration were Xing Yue and Bei Li La.
Since the Security Corps had just been established, Bai Feng didn't plan to recruit too many people. After round after round of selection, only thirty Members were finally chosen.
Xiao Xing was specially recruited into the team because he already had Zoroark as a partner and was also a physician.
In the following days, Bai Feng taught the Security Corps Members various knowledge about Pokémon while also taking them into the Forest for investigation.
Bai Feng specifically found a villager who was very good at drawing, planning to use his drawing skills to create a primitive Pokédex, so the Security Corps would know the Pokémon's names, Type, Type Advantage, Moves, and so on.
Every time they encountered a Pokémon in the Forest, Bai Feng would have someone record it with drawings and text.
This was knowledge that the Security Corps Members had never been exposed to before. They studied it with fervor, especially Xiao Xing, who practically became the team's number one bookworm.
Not only did the Security Corps Members become obsessed with learning, but a group of children led by Gang Shi and Zhu Bei would also secretly run to Bai Feng whenever they had time to eavesdrop on Bai Feng's lessons.
Although Bai Feng discovered them, he didn't stop them.
Bai Feng took the Security Corps Members into the Forest for investigation, partly to investigate the reason for the appearance of the space-time rifts and find a way Home, and partly to help everyone catch Pokémon partners.
Because of the existing examples of Xing Yue and Xiao Xing, everyone was very enthusiastic about catching Pokémon, and they quickly acquired their own Pokémon.
For example, Bei Li La caught a Buneary, Shou caught a Buizel, Iscan caught a Shellos, Arezu caught a Burmy...
During the process of exploring the Forest, Bai Feng and the others inevitably encountered rampaging Pokémon multiple times. They subsequently subdued Wyrdeer, Kleavor, Hisuian Lilligant, Hisuian Arcanine, Basculegion, Hisuian Electrode, Sneasler, and Hisuian Avalugg.
At Bai Feng's persuasion, these Pokémon all stayed in Jubilife Village. They were responsible for working for the villagers and protecting the Village's safety, while the villagers were responsible for providing them with food.
Incidentally, that Arcanine was the Mother of the Growlithe that Bai Feng first encountered in Pure White Forest. That Growlithe also came to Jubilife Village with its Mother.
While exploring the Forest, Bai Feng would also take the Security Corps, bring back any discovered fruit trees to plant in the Village and teach them how to cultivate fruit trees.
In this area, Bai Feng was an expert, after all, it was his old profession!
Almost immediately, the Village gained a lush Orchard.
The reason the fruit trees grew so well was thanks to Meganium's Plant Growth ability. Because of this, Bai Feng's Meganium was practically revered as a deity by the villagers.
As long as there were enough fruit trees and Berries, the most important condition for raising Pokémon was met.
Every time a space-time rift appeared in the Forest, Bai Feng would rush over to check the situation immediately. However, the space-time rifts appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly. Before he could find out anything, they would rapidly vanish, which left Bai Feng feeling very frustrated.
On this day, on the way back to the Village after finishing their investigation, Bai Feng's attention was suddenly drawn to a fluffy ball in the Snowfield.
"What kind of Pokémon is that?" Xiao Xing asked in surprise.
"It's an Eevee!" Bai Feng replied.
The team Member responsible for recording Pokémon information immediately took out paper and pen and began sketching rapidly.
"Let's go take a look!" Bai Feng said to the Security Corps Members behind him. "We can bring it back as a partner for the children."
Gang Shi and Zhu Bei had repeatedly asked Bai Feng to catch a Pokémon partner for them, but Bai Feng hadn't found a suitable one yet.
The group quietly followed the Eevee to an ice plain and were surprised to find that there was more than one Eevee there.
"So many Eevee! Why don't we bring them all back to the Village, so all the children can have their own partners!" Bei Li La said excitedly.
"Good idea!" Xing Yue agreed.
Some of the Eevee had sharp senses. Bei Li La and Xing Yue's conversation alerted them, and they immediately took off running.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 365: The Scheme Emerges
Just as the Eevee were about to scatter and flee, a purple radiance flashed in Bai Feng's eyes, instantly freezing all the Eevee in their Original spot.
Seeing this scene, Bei Li La exclaimed, "Bai Feng, no matter how many times I see it, your Psychic Ability is always so incredible!"
"I'm not the only one who possesses Psychic Ability. Perhaps there are all sorts of Special Ability Users hidden in other Regions!" Bai Feng said humbly.
"Special Ability Users aren't that easy to encounter! Anyway, I've grown up here and haven't seen a single one besides you?" Bei Li La said, spreading her hands.
Bei Li La was a native-born Hisui resident and hadn't been to other places yet.
"I have seen other Ability Users in other Regions. It's an ability that allows one to communicate with Pokémon and sense the aura of creatures!" Xiao Xing said from the side.
"Could it be Aura?" Bai Feng asked.
"Yes! That seems to be the name! Bai Feng, you really are very knowledgeable!" Xiao Xing said excitedly.
"I don't know much about this ability either, I just know the name!" Bai Feng said, waving his hand.
...
The Security Corps did not rashly go out to capture the Eevee. Instead, they first had Bai Feng step forward to communicate with the Eevee, and only after gaining their consent did they bring the Eevee back to the Village.
Of course, not all the Eevee were willing to go with Bai Feng and the others. Even though Bai Feng used food to entice them, some Eevee were absolutely unwilling, so they only brought back a small portion of the Eevee group.
Now, every Member of the Security Corps had at least one Pokémon with them, so when they returned to the Village, they always attracted everyone's attention.
At first, everyone was very afraid of and resistant to Pokémon, but as time passed, when they saw the benefits of Pokémon, that resistance and fear turned into deep envy.
"Sigh~~ When can I also have a Pokémon? A Growlithe would be fine. With a Growlithe, it would be convenient for me to burn charcoal."
One of the Villagers said, looking at the imposing Security Corps Members. His family had been charcoal masters for generations, making a living by burning charcoal.
The Hisui region has a severe climate, and charcoal is a very important resource.
"I also want a Pokémon. I want a Wyrdeer. I heard its fur is very warm and can be used to make winter clothes!" The person who said this was from the tailor shop. Most of the cotton clothes in Jubilife Village came from their Home.
"Sigh~ I wonder when the Security Corps will recruit again."
"Even if the Security Corps recruits, you won't be selected. It's better to hope that the Leader can promote Pokémon throughout the entire Village sometime."
"That's right, that's right, that's the point. The Security Corps isn't a place just anyone can get into!"
...
Bai Feng and his group didn't know they had once again become the center of discussion for the Villagers. They brought a few Eevee to the Village Plaza, which was where the children usually played. Today, they were also gathered here.
Seeing them return, Gang Shi and Zhu Bei brought a group of children who rushed over and surrounded them.
"Big Brother Bai Feng, you're back!"
"Wow, what cute Pokémon! What kind of Pokémon is this?"
...
The children discussed excitedly, their eyes full of affection as they looked at the Eevee.
"Quiet, everyone quiet down!" Bai Feng shouted to the children.
He held high prestige in the children's hearts, so as soon as he spoke, the children immediately fell silent.
"Listen everyone, these Eevee were specially prepared for you. If any of you can gain an Eevee's approval, then you can form a partnership with that Eevee!"
Hearing Bai Feng's words, the children instantly became excited.
"Really? Brother Bai Feng, can we also have our own Pokémon partners?" Zhu Bei asked, her little face flushed red.
"Of course!" Bai Feng nodded. "You are the future of the Village, so of course you are qualified to become partners with Pokémon!"
Hearing Bai Feng's words, the children immediately became eager to try, whispering to each other about how to gain the Eevee's approval.
Seeing this, Bai Feng continued, "As you try to gain the Eevee's approval, remember not to harm them or force them. Once you become partners, you must never abandon each other! These are essential principles for becoming a Pokémon Trainer.
Do you understand?"
"Yes!" The children answered loudly, their little faces flushed red.
"Alright, let's begin!"
As Bai Feng's words fell, the children excitedly ran towards the Eevee, each showing off their unique skills.
Gaining an Eevee's approval was not that simple, especially for children. Therefore, as time went on, most children returned empty-handed.
Of course, there were some children who possessed talent that others couldn't match, such as Gang Shi and Zhu Bei. They were among the first to gain an Eevee's approval.
While the children were interacting and communicating with the Eevee, Bai Feng took the opportunity to introduce them to knowledge about Eevee, especially the various Evolution methods for Eevee.
"Big Brother Bai Feng, look! I have my own Pokémon partner!" Gang Shi said excitedly, running to Bai Feng's side while holding an Eevee.
"Very good! From now on, you are each other's closest partners. Trust each other, battle side by side, and never abandon each other!" Bai Feng said, rubbing his head.
"Yes!" Gang Shi said firmly.
"Eevee~" The Eevee also let out a cry.
In the following time, Bai Feng continued to teach everyone various knowledge about Pokémon every day, while also taking the Security Corps into the Forest for investigation.
Finally, there was one time when he successfully saw the situation on the other side through a Space-time Rift!
It turned out that the appearance of the Space-time Rift was due to a battle between two Pokémon.
Although it was just a glance, Bai Feng immediately recognized the identity of those two Pokémon: the God of Time, Dialga, and the God of Space, Palkia!
However, these two Legendary Pokémon looked somewhat different from the impression Bai Feng had of them. At this time, they both looked very much like horses, rather than Dragons. This Form is called the Origin Form of the Temporal and Spatial Gods.
Dialga and Palkia live in different Spaces and would not normally meet, let alone engage in battle.
Something must have gone wrong somewhere.
Unfortunately, the Space-time Rift appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly. Bai Feng didn't have time to investigate the deeper reason.
After Bai Feng returned from Pure White Forest, he was a bit absent-minded. He didn't pay attention to the others but went into his House alone to think about his situation.
He had been in the Hisui region for some time now. He couldn't just stay here forever, could he?
If he wanted to go Home now, he had to find Dialga, who could control time, and get it to agree to help.
But inferring from what he saw in the Space-time Rift, the Temporal and Spatial Gods were currently in battle and couldn't spare the effort to deal with anything else.
So the first thing he needed to do was resolve the conflict between the two gods.
But what was the reason for the conflict between the two gods? And how was he supposed to contact them?
Could he summon them using a Summoning Circle? If he did that, would he be attacked by the two Legendary Pokémon? He wasn't sure if he could handle being attacked by two ancient-level gods like them.
Just as he was deep in thought, Deoxys, who had been monitoring Volo, appeared beside him.
"Bai Feng, I've found something unusual about Volo. He might take action today!"
Hearing Deoxys's words, Bai Feng's eyes lit up. Volo was the boss in the game, perhaps he could get a clue about returning Home from him.
"Let's go, we'll meet Volo!"
Hearing this, Deoxys nodded and used Teleport to disappear from the House with Bai Feng.
When they reappeared, they had arrived deep within Pure White Forest, and in front of them was a Pitch-Black Cave.
"Volo is inside here?" Bai Feng asked, looking at Deoxys.
Deoxys nodded, "That's right."
"Okay, let's go in!"
Hearing this, Deoxys placed a hand on Bai Feng's shoulder. Immediately, Bai Feng's figure slowly disappeared, and at the same time, it also gradually concealed its own figure.
When Bai Feng and Deoxys arrived deep inside the Cave, they saw Volo standing at the edge of a Lake. Opposite him was a giant Dragon-type Pokémon.
That Pokémon extended half of its body out of the Water surface. To be precise, it used the Water surface to open a Spatial Portal and extended its body out from within the Spatial Portal.
Giratina!
Bai Feng recognized the Pokémon's identity at a glance.
Arceus, the Pokémon of Creation, once created three Legendary Pokémon: Dialga, the God of Time; Palkia, the God of Space; and Giratina, who resides in the Distortion World and maintains the balance between the two.
And what Giratina was doing at this moment was precisely interfering with the space-time balance, causing Dialga and Palkia, who should fundamentally not meet, to collide.
Above Giratina's head, there was a scarlet phantom. Within the phantom were Dialga and Palkia in battle.
Bai Feng finally understood where those Space-time Rifts came from! It turned out that Giratina and Volo were secretly causing trouble!
But why would Giratina collude with Volo?
He couldn't worry about that anymore. The urgent matter at hand was to stop Giratina's frenzied actions.
"Deoxys, Shadow Ball!"
Bai Feng revealed himself directly and spoke to Deoxys.
Volo was startled by the sudden sound. Immediately after, he saw a large Shadow Ball smash onto Giratina's head. Giratina's actions of interfering with space-time were forced to stop, and the phantom disappeared.
"Who!"
Volo shouted loudly, and immediately saw Bai Feng and Deoxys levitating in the air.
Seeing Bai Feng, Volo looked astonished. But he didn't think too much. Bai Feng's recent actions were already destined to make him an enemy.
"Milotic, Hydro Pump!"
As Volo's words fell, a Milotic leaped out from In the water and sprayed a column of water at Bai Feng and Deoxys.
Clearly, Volo had tamed Pokémon to use a long time ago!
Bai Feng activated a Summoning Circle to block in front. The Hydro Pump rushed into the circle, hitting Giratina, who was about to get up, knocking Giratina back into the Water again.
At the same time, Deoxys attacked again with a Thunderbolt, directly hitting Milotic and causing it to faint.
"Miiilotic~~"
Milotic fell into the Water and disappeared.
"Milotic!" Volo called out anxiously, but unfortunately, he didn't get a response from Milotic.
At this moment, Giratina was already enraged by Bai Feng. It spread its wings and let out an angry roar, about to fully emerge from the Spatial Portal.
But Bai Feng couldn't let it come out. If it came out and went wild, Pure White Forest would likely be destroyed.
Bai Feng's two Summoning Circles simultaneously opened Spatial Portals, and Bai Ye and Mewtwo emerged from them respectively.
"Everyone, let's force Giratina back into the Distortion Space together!"
"Gardevoir~~" Bai Ye responded.
Mewtwo and Deoxys nodded simultaneously.
The three Pokémon launched an attack simultaneously, one Shadow Ball after another smashing towards Giratina.
Giratina, with half its body stuck in the Spatial Portal, was extremely frustrated and couldn't do anything, while Volo could only watch from the side, anxious.
Finally, Giratina couldn't endure the attack by the three Pokémon and retreated back into the Distortion Space.
Before the Spatial Portal closed, Bai Feng plunged in with the three Pokémon. He had to figure out the reason why Giratina was causing trouble.
After the Spatial Portal closed, the Water surface gradually returned to calmness. Only Volo, disheveled in the wind, was left in the Original spot.
When Giratina saw that Bai Feng and his group had actually chased it to its Plot of Land, it was absolutely furious.
There's no end to this, is there?!
"Raaawr~~~"
Giratina let out an angry roar.
At this moment, Giratina's appearance was already vastly different from before. Like Dialga and Palkia, it had two Forms.
When Giratina is in The Outside, it transforms into its Altered Form; when it returns to the Distortion World, it transforms into its Origin Form.
In their Origin Forms, whether it's Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina, they are all more powerful.
Facing Giratina, Bai Feng dared not be careless.
"Everyone, use your full power! Don't hold back!"
The three Pokémon nodded and simultaneously began to change Forms.
Seven-colored radiance erupted from Bai Ye's body. In an instant, all the light around seemed to be plundered by it. When the radiance dissipated, it had completed Mega Evolution, its magnificent pitch-black dress displaying elegance and nobility.
Mewtwo also completed Mega Evolution, transforming into its Mega Mewtwo Y Form.
Deoxys transformed from its Normal Form into its Attack Form.
Bai Ye held her wooden staff and gently waved it. A scorching column of fire suddenly appeared, sweeping towards Giratina.
"Roar!"
Giratina roared and swung its claws, easily batting away Bai Ye's Mystical Fire using Dragon Claw.
At this time, Deoxys and Mewtwo shot out Shadow Balls from the left and right, simultaneously attacking Giratina.
Bai Feng wasn't idle either. He felt it would still be difficult to defeat Giratina relying only on Bai Ye, Mewtwo, and Deoxys, so he successively summoned Meganium, Tyranitar, and Diancie.
The moment Tyranitar and Diancie appeared, seven-colored radiance erupted from their bodies, and they immediately completed Mega Evolution.
And Meganium immediately set up Jungle Terrain, providing healing support for everyone.
Just as Giratina had used Dragon Pulse to destroy Mewtwo's and Deoxys's Shadow Balls, countless rock spears and diamond spears rained down from the sky, one after another smashing onto its body.
