Seeing him arriving in a hurry, Keri raised an eyebrow: "Is there another ranch facility you want to build? Go ahead, do you want to build a greenhouse or a watermill this time?"
Naoki grinned and pulled out the Silver Wing from his pocket: "This time, I'm not building anything. I want to borrow your crushing machine."
At his words, Keri turned her gaze to the feather emanating a silvery radiance.
"This is...?"
Naoki initially thought of Lugia, but upon reconsidering, he found it difficult to explain, so he changed his mind midway: "It's Swanna's feather."
Swanna, an elegant and beautiful Pokemon, evolved from Ducklett, dances gracefully on the lake surface at dawn, and it gets its name from this.
"Swanna, huh? No wonder this feather is so beautiful." Keri exclaimed, "That Swanna must have been well-bred, its feathers seem to glow."
"Follow me, then!" Saying that, Keri turned around and led Naoki to the workroom where the crushing machine was located.
She didn't ask Naoki about the purpose of crushing the feather, just stood aside and started the machine: "Just put it inside."
Naoki nodded and placed the feather inside.
Keri pressed the switch, and the entire crushing machine started rumbling.
Along with the machine's sound, the Silver Wing was swallowed by the machine.
Naoki and Keri stood silently waiting, but suddenly a fierce wind erupted from the machine's outlet.
The wind instantly swept through the entire room, blowing Keri's drawings like snowflakes fluttering in the air.
Seeing this, Keri was stunned and asked amidst the wind: "What happened?"
Naoki shielded himself from the wind with his arm, guessing wildly: "Maybe it's the Flying Type Energy stored in Swanna's feather?"
Keri was dumbfounded: "That's too exaggerated, isn't it?"
But soon, Naoki realized something was wrong.
Because he saw silvery glimmers being blown out from the machine's inlet and outlet by the strong wind!
It was the crushed Silver Wing!
Damn it! He should have known!
A Silver Wing capable of summoning Lugia, how could it be as normal as Zapdos's feather? It must contain a large amount of energy, energy that Lugia could sense!
Naoki hurriedly reached to grab it, but caught nothing, only able to watch the silvery glimmers vanish in the wind.
Heartache! It's such a pity!
Keri hesitated whether to turn off the machine.
Luckily, the wind stopped at that moment.
The scattered drawings fell like snowflakes, leaving the room in a mess.
Naoki's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly apologized to Keri, feeling deeply remorseful: "I'm very sorry, I didn't know the energy in this feather was so exaggerated!"
Most of the drawings here were casual sketches by Keri, not of great importance, but seeing Naoki so tense, Keri couldn't help but joke:
"If you really want to apologize, bring me some pumpkins later! Halloween is coming, and I want to decorate the house with them."
Seeing Keri's lack of anger, Naoki breathed a sigh of relief and promised: "Of course, there will be as many pumpkins as you want!"
He planned to have Dragonite bring them to Keri later.
Keri chuckled: "Alright, I'm just teasing you, it's my first time seeing you so nervous."
Naoki was a bit embarrassed: "Because I don't like causing trouble for others."
Keri opened the machine's outlet and looked at the remaining feather powder inside, asking: "Do you still want this?"
"Yes!" Naoki hurriedly stepped forward and carefully filled the glass bottle he had prepared with the remaining powder.
Then, the two tidied up the room together.
Naoki bid farewell to Keri, and on his way riding Koraidon back to the ranch, he had the chance to examine the effects of the feather powder.
