Everything is ready except for the east wind.
Now all that's left is for the World Tree to fully grow!
*
April 20th, 200th year of the League calendar.
It's been nearly half a month since Mewtwo's arrival.
During this time, Naoki traveled to the World Tree several times, bringing the Pokemon there some other daily necessities, and also delivered a few books and a Rotom Phone to the Great Sage Slowking.
Because Naoki noticed that whenever the Pokemon in the World Tree had a problem, they would go to the big rock where Slowking lived to consult with him.
For example, how to get along with friends, how to grow seedlings, how to transport flour better, and so on.
Naoki was worried that Slowking might also encounter something he didn't know, so he bought a few books on agriculture, animal husbandry, and an encyclopedia in Porto Marinada Town, and gave them to Slowking.
Just in case, he also gave Slowking a Rotom Phone so it could use the internet whenever it encountered something it didn't understand.
It's worth mentioning that Naoki built a brand new Chicken House on the World Tree.
Pawmot's parents also moved to the World Tree, becoming the chicken coop managers there, responsible for taking care of the chickens.
With them, the Pokemon on the World Tree now have an endless supply of eggs to eat.
However, more than chickens, Naoki actually wanted to invite a Pokemon like Chansey to live on the World Tree.
Because Chansey's eggs are extremely nutritious, and they lay larger and more eggs than chickens, sometimes even several eggs a day.
However, such Pokemon are very rare, especially in modern times.
It's said that a long time ago, there were many Chansey living in this world, but people began to capture them in large numbers to obtain their nutritious eggs.
After a period of overhunting aimed at taking the eggs from Chansey's abdomen, the number of Chansey in modern times has become very scarce.
It's basically very hard to see in the wild.
Aside from that, Naoki also purchased three Miltanks and two Alcremies from the ranch store in town and sent them to the World Tree.
Now, the Explorer Team Guild basically won't run out of milk, eggs, cream, or berries to eat.
On usual days, Arboliva also shares her highly nutritious olive oil with everyone.
Some Pokemon interested in cooking have started following Slowking's advice and using an oven to bake cakes and desserts.
Although there was a fire caused by an oven explosion due to mistakes in the middle, fortunately, a Water Type Pokemon was present at the time and quickly put out the flames.
Upon hearing this, Naoki sent them a new oven.
And half a month ago, the crops that Naoki and Mewtwo planted were also almost ready for harvest.
Perhaps it's because the Natural Energy on the World Tree is too abundant, but the crops planted there grow very fast and are of high quality.
Naoki has already received photos from Mewtwo and plans to go up in a few days to help with the harvest.
It's safe to say that the World Tree side is gradually getting on the right track.
After being busy building the World Tree for more than half a month, Naoki finally got a few days to rest.
With the arrival of summer, the temperature is starting to heat up.
It's only cool for a while in the morning and afternoon.
Naoki only goes out during these two periods to sell vegetables or to repair the wooden fences at the ranch that have been damaged by wild Pokemon.
For the rest of the time, he basically stays at home cuddling Pokemon and playing on his phone.
Lately, Naoki has been following the news from the Hoenn Region through the internet.
Because if the timing is right, the Hoenn incident will erupt this year.
To awaken the Super Ancient Pokemon Groudon and Kyogre, Team Magma and Team Aqua have started their plans.
They want to use the power of these two Super Ancient Pokemon; one wants to expand the land area, and the other wants to cover the whole world in seawater.
And this year, Groudon and Kyogre will be awakened by those two extremist organizations, leading to a cataclysmic battle in the Hoenn Region.
Since the Pokemon World entered the internet age, all regions seem to be connected.
Naoki quickly found information related to the Hoenn incident.
An internet user named [King of the Sea] posted a thread arrogantly taunting the Hoenn League, saying their Team Aqua's great plan would soon be completed.
Naoki took a look at the posting date and saw that it was from the day before yesterday afternoon.
Tsk, this member of Team Aqua seems to be quite bold!
Out of curiosity, Naoki clicked into the comments and saw the official announcement from the Hoenn League.
[Hoenn League: The member has been successfully arrested by Hoenn police this morning. After investigation, he was found to be a member of the evil organization Team Aqua. Team Aqua is currently plotting an evil plan in the Hoenn Region, so all citizens please stay vigilant. If you spot any suspicious individuals, please contact the local police department immediately!]
Naoki: "..."
What a reckless underling, don't they know that popping the champagne early is never a good idea?
Their boss Archie from Team Aqua might just get infuriated by his underlings.
Such a foolish person would surely become the laughingstock among their peers if word got out.
However, Team Magma can actually pop their champagne.
Because the Hoenn League's attention is entirely drawn by Team Aqua, their action plan might proceed much more smoothly.
Groudon and Kyogre...
Naoki couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Just then, a notification sound came from the Rotom Phone.
It was a message from a friend.
Huh? Who could be messaging him now?
Naoki unlocked the screen and saw a little red dot appear next to Geeta's avatar.
...It's Geeta.
[Geeta: By the way, Naoki, summer is almost here. To thank you for hosting the Paldea League members these past few days, we've prepared a vacation trip for you, complete with private jet and all expenses covered, including hotel and meals.
The destination is Levincia City, which is a great tourist spot this season. I hear summer matches perfectly with the beach!]
Naoki: "..."
Why does Geeta seem a bit off, so attentive?
But he still needs to go to the World Tree to help with the harvest, and he doesn't have time to leave the ranch.
After a brief moment of thought, Naoki replied.
[Wing King: Thank you very much, but the ranch has been quite busy lately, and I can't get away, so I'll pass.]
