The position of "Meteor Village" is quite special.
It is not beneath the complex tunnels of Meteor Falls, nor is it even inside Meteor Falls.
Passing through an entrance that appears to be a rock wall, one arrives at "Meteor Village".
It's somewhat like a Secret Space opened by Secret Power, but this space is more stable and larger.
Natsuhiko wasn't sure whether he was still in the Pokemon Realm or had entered an Alternate Space.
Because his phone surprisingly still had a signal.
He didn't know how that was possible.
"Toga-go!"
Togetic widened its little eyes, staring in shock at the scene before it.
A vast plain, warm sunshine.
The clouds rolled and stretched in the sky, the green grass on the ground stretched as far as the eye could see, and a few towering ancient trees stood sporadically, existing for who knows how many years.
This was completely like a brand-new world.
The air was fresh, mingled with a slight grassy scent and a hint of fragrance, making one feel refreshed.
The most important thing was.
Flying in the sky, running on the ground, frolicking in the forest, most of them were Dragon-type Pokémon.
That "fatty" Dragonite with wings disproportionate to its body yet flexible and agile!
The Salamence that hung high in the sky like a blood moon!
The Altaria that was extraordinarily beautiful as if adorned with clouds but would earn the title of "Dragon Race Traitor" in the future!
The Little Earth Dragon Flygon stirring small gusts of sand but not affecting the environment, and the Earth Dragon Fierce-Biting Land Shark Garchomp!
...
Everywhere were Dragon-type Pokémon, and among them were some Quasi-God level Dragon-type Pokémon.
With so many Dragon-type Pokémon together, there was no conflict at all; instead, they got along exceptionally well.
Natsuhiko's eyes almost turned red from looking.
Any one of them would be incredibly expensive outside!
He couldn't help but feel a bit more resentful towards Klei.
If it weren't for his "foolish" actions, Natsuhiko might have obtained a few young ones of these Dragon-type Pokémon.
Ascending to the peak of life from then on.
Of course.
Apart from these Dragon-type Pokémon, there were also many ordinary Pokémon living here, such as Bulbasaur and Oddish frolicking in the grass, Marshtomp and Squirtle playing by the pond...
This was a completely open Pokémon ecological paradise.
Moreover, it was an ecological park where humans and Pokémon could completely coexist in harmony.
Just from what Natsuhiko saw, there were adults farming with Pokémon in the fields, children playing with Pokémon, and elders leisurely playing chess under the trees together.
Here.
It was simply the Pokémon world version of "Peach Blossom Spring"!
Ryuzi returned here, unable to keep a contented smile off his face.
Compared to the outside world's pollution, towering buildings, and busy traffic, this world was more suitable for living.
'If I have the chance in the future, I want to find such a place for retirement and old age,' Natsuhiko thought to himself.
Their arrival was taken seriously.
Soon after.
A middle-aged man riding a Flygon, and a woman who seemed in her twenties riding an Altaria, wearing clothing similar to Ryuzi, landed in front of them.
After Klei's theft incident, "Meteor Village" had become much more vigilant about the entrance.
"Brother Longxi, Sister Jenna, did you see me bring those dragonlings back?" Ryuzi stepped forward and shouted.
"Ryuzi, did you go out chasing that thief!? Didn't I tell you, that person's strength is not weak, you are no match for him and there would be danger," the middle-aged man Longxi said sternly, with a hint of reproach in his words.
"Alright, alright, Ryuzi is back now, right? Are you hurt?" The woman named Jenny stepped forward to examine Ryuzi, looking quite concerned.
It seemed that Ryuzi went out on his own initiative.
Faced with their reproach and concern, Ryuzi laughed sheepishly, scratching his head, "Luckily, with Mr. Natsuka's help, otherwise that person would've really gotten away."
"Mr. Natsuka?"
Longxi and Jenny's gazes fell on Natsuhiko.
"Yes! Mr. Natsuka is very powerful; he helped us catch the thief. And Mr. Natsuka is also a knowledgeable 'Scholar'; his teacher knows of our 'Meteor People' existence," Ryuzi returned to Natsuhiko's side, introducing.
"Oh?"
The two exchanged a glance and scanned Natsuhiko and his Pokémon, finally resting their gaze on Absol.
Very strong!
That was their assessment of Absol's strength.
Seeing this Absol, they knew Ryuzi wasn't joking, even though Natsuhiko seemed only a few years older than Ryuzi.
As for the other Pokémon, their strength was somewhat weaker.
But they didn't think much of it; which individual doesn't have a primary team and a secondary team of Pokémon?
Even as Dragon Tamers, due to acquiring Pokémon at different times, the strengths of their Pokémon could vary.
"Mr. Natsuka, thank you for your help towards 'Meteor Village'," Longxi stepped forward, placing his right hand on his left chest and bending slightly.
"You're welcome," Natsuhiko replied calmly.
"Alright, let's not talk here, let's go inside. Ryuzi, Elder Dracoflame is waiting for you."
Jenny smiled as she took Ryuzi's hand, and Longxi beckoned for Natsuhiko to follow him towards a cluster of simple wooden houses not far away.
Upon hearing "Elder Dracoflame", Ryuzi's head drooped down.
"Where is Mr. Natsuka from? Although we don't often visit the outside world, we have heard a little about it," Longxi asked.
He and Natsuhiko walked behind Ryuzi and Jenny.
Natsuhiko's lowered eyes flickered.
A household registration check?
But he still smiled and said, "The Kanto Region, a not-so-famous small town."
"The Kanto Region..." Longxi repeated softly.
Longxi did not continue to ask as Natsuhiko thought he might, but instead, he kept muttering "The Kanto Region".
He wouldn't...not know about the Kanto Region, would he?
Natsuhiko couldn't be blamed for thinking this way.
The "Meteor People" have been secluded for thousands of years, and even when they occasionally go out to buy things, it's only in the Hoenn Region.
Perhaps over such a long time, some place names they knew have long changed.
Soon after.
Under the guidance of the others, Natsuhiko arrived at a small village located within "Meteor Village".
His arrival caught the attention of many village residents.
However, no one showed scrutiny or hostility. Instead, when their gazes met his, they would show simple and honest smiles, nodding as a gesture of friendliness.
'Such simple folk...'
Finally.
The group arrived at a relatively larger wooden house, entered the house by stepping on creaking wooden steps.
The interior was neatly arranged, with only some tables and chairs, and bookshelves.
On the shelves were densely packed ancient books, some of which looked almost worn out from flipping through.
An elder with white hair and a long white beard sat in front of the bookshelf, squinting and adjusting his glasses on his nose, engrossed in reading.
At his feet, a Shelgon covered in a heavy shell lay quietly.
On Shelgon's back, there was a small teapot and a small teacup, and as the elder read, he occasionally picked up the teacup to take a sip, smacking his lips in satisfaction.
Shelgon used as a tea table?
How extravagant was this?
Natsuhiko's eye twitched.
Longxi and Jenny approached the elder and whispered a few words in his ear, while Ryuzi obediently stood there with his head hanging down.
After they finished speaking, the elder slowly raised his head and swept his eyes over Natsuhiko and his few Pokémon.
Showing a hint of surprise.
'Star Power?'
