Staring at this scene, Naoki was filled with questions.
What are they doing?
"Koraidon, follow them and take a look!"
Riding on Koraidon, Naoki tracked the group of Bergmite and Avalugg from above.
The Avalugg was already floating downstream, moving very quickly, and in about thirty minutes, they finally reached the end of the river.
There was the Paldea North Sea, where the river flowed down from Glaseado Mountain and eventually merged into the Paldea Sea.
Carrying the Bergmite on its back, the Avalugg entered the Paldea Sea and slowly drifted away.
Koraidon landed on a mountain peak, watching that scene.
Watching the figure of Avalugg disappear into the vast ocean, Koraidon tilted its head, a little confused: "Ahka-sii?"
Naoki was also puzzled: "I don't know what they're doing either."
Although he could clearly remember the names of every Pokemon, when it came to some not-so-popular Pokemon, that was about it.
He wasn't very familiar with their specific ecology.
At that moment, a voice came from behind, explaining the scene to him.
"That is Avalugg migrating."
Naoki turned around to see a man in a down jacket walking over with an Incineroar.
The man curiously stared at Koraidon, circled around it, and asked full of novelty: "What kind of Pokemon is this? I've never seen it before!"
"Uh..." Naoki introduced, "It's called Koraidon."
"Wow, look at those solid muscles, that strong body, it's so powerful, so powerful!" The man said enviously with admiration, "Please tell me, where did you capture this kind of Pokemon?!"
Naoki: "..." Could he have run into a weirdo?
Noticing the strange look from the other side, the man then realized he was being inappropriate. He quickly withdrew his gaze, coughed twice, and introduced himself:
"I'm Everett from the Alola Region, currently exploring this snowy mountain!"
Naoki's gaze turned to the Incineroar beside him, "Naoki, a local of Paldea, you just mentioned Avalugg was migrating, what do you mean by that?"
Everett explained: "This is the habit of the Avalugg kind of Pokemon, they often carry Bergmite over the ocean to change residences."
Is that so?
Naoki fell into contemplation.
The distances between each region are very far, crossing the sea to change residence, won't they encounter any dangers on the way?
Like sea storms, tsunamis, or such.
At this time, Everett's gaze shifted from Koraidon to him.
"I've wanted to ask since the beginning, aren't you cold dressed like this?"
Hearing this, Naoki came back to his senses and looked down at his own clothing.
A thin tracksuit, a pair of jeans, and leather boots.
He paused for a moment and replied, "It's okay."
"Young people really have energy to burn!" The man looked back at Koraidon, enviously asking: "Are you here to explore Glaseado Mountain as well?"
"Sort of!" Naoki said, "I plan to capture an Ice Type Pokemon here, but I haven't found a suitable one yet, the only Avalugg already moved away."
Upon hearing this, the man immediately beamed, enthusiastically pounding his chest: "I can help you; I'm very familiar with the kinds of Pokemon that inhabit around here!"
Naoki sensed the little motives of the other and squinted his eyes: "What do you want?"
The man showed an embarrassed expression: "Let me admire your Koraidon a bit more; its muscles are really strong!"
Naoki: "You really like muscular Pokemon?"
"Exactly!" The man nodded repeatedly, flexing his biceps, his eyes bright, saying: "Exercising muscles with Pokemon is the most wonderful thing in the world! It feels like I've found a like-minded friend!"
Naoki: "..." He didn't quite understand this behavior.
But just looking, exchanging muscle tips, seemed harmless.
So Naoki nodded in agreement, then asked: "Have you seen Alolan Vulpix or Glaceon in Glaseado Mountain?"
Everett: "Haven't seen Alolan Vulpix, but I have seen Glaceon! Follow me; let's head back to my campsite first!"
Naoki nodded and followed him back.
Everett, as he walked, continued to introduce the Pokemon that inhabited nearby.
Like Snorunt, Glalie, Delibird...
Passing by a cave, he pointed inside and said: "These kinds of caves generally have Pokemon inhabiting them."
He carefully observed the cave, then exclaimed joyfully: "This seems to be where that Glaceon lives!"
"Really?" Naoki instantly perked up.
"Exactly! It's right here!" Everett nodded, exuding an air of recklessness, and dove headfirst into the cave.
Naoki also wanted to go in and take a look, but soon, an angry roar came from inside the cave.
Immediately after, Everett fled out in a panic, running and shouting: "Oh, sorry Beartic! I didn't mean to disturb your rest!"
Chasing after him was a fierce-looking Beartic.
Naoki: "..."
Why does this guy feel somewhat unreliable?
At the critical moment, Incineroar stood in front of Everett.
Noticing the Pokemon emitting hot air, Beartic's expression turned serious.
