Not Being a Trainer This Time
Chapter 784 - 406: Tropius of the Southern Lands Gives Giratina a Massage (Part 2)
"Oh woo!" Tropius nodded its massive head.
Seeing this, Naoki didn’t hesitate, he took out a Poke Ball and recalled Cyclizar into it, then climbed onto Tropius’ back.
One person and one Pokemon waved goodbye to Xiaomei.
Xiaomei looked very happy: "Live well, Tropius!"
"Oh woo!"
Tropius knew that the human in front of it had helped it, and it was filled with gratitude toward Xiaomei and the old man.
Before leaving, it lowered its neck and offered the bunches of bananas hanging from its neck to Xiaomei. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Nice, it’s a kind and polite Tropius." Witnessing this, Naoki nodded internally.
He was just about to say something when he suddenly noticed that the bunches of bananas taken from Tropius’ neck had regrown.
Naoki was stunned.
What’s going on? Aren’t the fruits on Tropius’ neck supposed to ripen twice a year?
But soon, he realized something, and a light bulb went off in his mind.
This Tropius has the Harvest ability!
Harvest, Tropius’ hidden ability. In the games, it allows berries that have been used to regenerate, with a 50% chance, which increases to 100% in Sunny Day weather.
Xiaomei happily accepted Tropius’ berries, and when she saw the fruits on Tropius’ neck regrow, she immediately realized.
"So your ability is Harvest!" Xiaomei said to Tropius, then turned to Naoki: "Mr. Naoki, Tropius with the Harvest ability can occasionally have a good harvest!"
"They can use their body’s energy, moisture, and sunlight to accelerate the growth of fruits, causing picked fruits to grow quickly again."
"However, this effect can only occur once in a short period, and after activation, it takes a while for Tropius’ body energy to recover before it can be used again."
Upon hearing this, Naoki said to himself that it indeed made sense.
A Tropius with the Harvest ability is the perfect combination for a ranch!
But, Naoki was even more surprised to find that Xiaomei knew about this knowledge.
He remembered the first time he met Xiaomei, she was a shy little girl, and now, two years later, Xiaomei had grown a lot and her personality had become much more cheerful.
Naoki praised: "You’re amazing, to know even this!"
Xiaomei felt a bit embarrassed: "These are all things Grandpa taught me, I plan to become a Pokemon breeder in the future. Grandpa taught me a lot of Pokemon knowledge when he heard about it."
"A Pokemon breeder, huh?" Naoki encouraged: "Good luck!"
Xiaomei was full of confidence: "Mm!"
After chatting simply for a while, Tropius finally flapped its wings and rose into the sky.
Naoki pointed in the direction of the ranch, and in the next second, Tropius flew toward it.
Compared to Dragonite, Tropius was slower, but its wide elephant-like back provided a more stable ride.
Soon, one person and one Pokemon returned to the ranch.
A group of Pokemon had already gathered there in advance.
As soon as Naoki and Tropius landed, they came to surround them.
Naoki introduced: "This is Tropius, Tropius, these Pokemon are the ones I’ve just mentioned to you!"
Hearing this, Tropius curiously looked at the group of Pokemon with different species.
Alcremie, Ogerpon, Pawmot, Gholdengo, and other Pokemon all expressed their welcome to Tropius.
Perhaps feeling the enthusiasm from them, Tropius’s mood was also influenced.
It squinted its eyes happily and responded: "Oh woo~!"
Next, was finding a place for Tropius to settle down on the ranch.
The temperature was dropping, and the Grass Type + Flying Type Tropius is four times weak to ice, scared of cold just like Cyclizar.
It is precisely for this reason that they migrate on a large scale before winter arrives.
The winter ranch is not suitable for it to live, and with that thought, Naoki had his answer.
He rode Tropius and entered the Reversed World through the ranch’s lake, and carried it all the way to the Sky Island where the World Tree is located.
Naoki had cultivated many sunflowers there that could emit light and heat, allowing Grass Type Pokemon to perform Synthesis and replenish energy freely.
For Tropius, this place was the most suitable wintering location.
The World Tree now had grown immensely, visibly towering over a hundred meters tall, making even the two-meter-tall Tropius appear quite small in comparison.
Fortunately, the space in the Reversed World is infinitely large, so there’s no worry about not fitting.
Looking at such a huge tree, Tropius showed a shocked expression.
"Oh woo!"
"This is the World Tree."
Saying so, Naoki looked at the Gogoats lounging under the tree, and the Arboliva that had grown a huge stature from absorbing a lot of Natural Energy.
He stepped forward and patted the heads of these Pokemon, then introduced: "This is Tropius, if all goes well, it will be living with us from now on."
The three Gogoats, known for their leisurely and gentle temperament, cheerfully welcomed Tropius.
Arboliva stood prominently on Sky Island, resembling a large olive-laden tree at first glance.
It opened its eyes to gaze at Tropius and warmly expressed its welcome.
Tropius also noticed these magical Pokemon.
It looked at Gogoat, sensing the intense Grass Type energy emanating from them, and showed a surprised expression.
