Chapter 406 Fertility Festival (End of this volume)

Perhaps because tomorrow is the Harvest Festival, Zhiqin Town has become more and more lively in the past two days.

From time to time, Naoki can see several trainers with Pokémon passing by the ranch.

 There is no doubt that their destination is the Fenghuo Shrine on the back mountain.

Mayor Thomas and his party attach great importance to this year’s Harvest Festival.

From early in the morning, he took the people in the town to the back mountain to decorate the festival venue, and worked until dark.

So that night, when Naoki was feeding Pokémon in the pasture, he looked over inadvertently and saw the bright lights on the back mountain, which looked very lively.

Not only him, but also the Pokémon in the pasture noticed the scene over there.

 The Pokémon headed by Ergui looked very much looking forward to it.

Eguifen asked: “Boni?” (Zhishu, shall we go there to play tomorrow too?)

 “Bamo!”

 “Let’s keep going!”

　　On September 30, 199 of the Alliance Calendar, the last night of autumn, Zhiqin Town’s annual large-scale festival officially began.

Zhi Shu suddenly felt a headache. He stepped forward and bought a few skewers of barbecue, then took Huo Yibu’s neck and put it on Gulton’s back.

Eguifen had also participated in local festivals in Beishang Township before.

Zhi Shu was not paying attention, and two more little Eevee disappeared, and the crowd around them scattered them.

Zhi Shu has a terrible headache. There are too many people now. If this continues, the other Ibrahimovics will also be lost.

The team composed of Mayor Thomas and others walked through the mountain path full of lights, climbed the back mountain, and went to the Fenghuo Shrine to worship King Lei Guan.

 Pedestrians were coming and going on the road during this period, cutting off their sight.

 Why is there an uncle selling Magikarp in this place?

Looking closely, Naoki recognized the man at a glance as a fisherman he had seen at the beach before.

“King Magikarp, the best Magikarp, the very talented Magikarp! You can’t be deceived or cheated. Each one only costs 3,000 alliance coins! Buy more and get more!”

 After the death of a man, Ergui Pun never formally participated in the festival. It would just put on a mask and stand in the distance watching the laughing people.

Trainers who heard the news came from all over the country, including several reporters and photographers from TV stations, who came here to report on the deeds of the legendary Pokémon King Ray Crown.

 There are many stalls set up at the foot of the mountain trail behind the mountain.

Pedestrians of all kinds walked through it with excitement, choosing their favorite items.

 There were many reporters around.

“Boni…” Eguifen looked expectant. He didn’t know what the festival in this place would be like.

Equiphen quickly got the answer to this question.

After a while, Babu Tubo flew back with the two Ibrahimovics.

Zhi Shu turned around and looked around, and saw Sai Fuhao enthusiastically running to a stall selling roasted corn. He handed the boss a few gold coins, and then took away a few sticks of roasted corn under the surprised look of the boss.

There is a statue of King Lei Guan in the center of the shrine. In front of the statue, there are offerings made by people, which are crops harvested from the fields.

“Of course.” Naoki nodded with a smile, his eyes sweeping over the Pokémon in front of him: “Not only us, King Lei Guan also plans to go and take a look!”

 In order to avoid this happening, he could only take out the elf ball and take back all the Eevee around him.

The most outgoing Huo Ibu quickly jumped to a stall selling barbecue, pointed at the fragrant barbecue and asked Zhi Shu to buy it for him.

There were a lot of tourists around, and Naoki didn’t forget to tell the Pokémon around him: “Follow closely! Don’t get lost, so Leton Biker, help me take care of the Eevee and Frosty!”

 White light flashed, and Eevee was taken into the elf ball.

 Compared to the ones below, there are not that many pedestrians on the mountain road.

The Eevees hanging on Naoki also looked expectantly at the delicious and fun things on the surrounding stalls.

Zhi Shu poked their heads and took out the elf ball: “Let’s get into the elf ball first!”

 “There are too many people, don’t run around!”

 ”Babu Tubo, help me take a look at Saifuhao, eh? Where is Saifuhao?”

 Naoki, who was covered in Ibrahimovic, narrowed his eyes when he heard this voice.

 On this day, the back mountain was particularly lively.

Fenghuo Shrine is built halfway up the back mountain. It is a small shrine.

When Naoki arrived here, Mayor Thomas and the others were paying homage to the shrine.

Zhi Shu and the few Pokémon next to him breathed a sigh of relief.

Before a man died, whenever it was time for a festival, one person and one Pokémon would put on a mask and go down the mountain to the town to celebrate with the people.

However, how could Ibrahimovic, who is lively and adventurous, be frightened by so many people.

　　　Babu saw two little Ibrahimovics in a corner, barked and hurriedly chased them.

There are stalls selling souvenirs, small wooden carvings of King Lei Guan, stalls selling roasted corn, and there is even an uncle there who is selling Magikarp.

 Naoki: “…”

After wandering around the stall for a while, Naoki led a group of Pokémon up the mountain path to the Fenghuo Shrine to participate in the festival.

 Some reporters were facing the photographers and live broadcasting.

“Good evening, viewers! Welcome to the Padya Evening News Channel. I am reporter Xiaochun. What is currently being broadcast is a lively fertility festival.”

“According to Xiaochun’s understanding, this fertility festival seems to be a traditional festival here in Ziqin Town. Did you all see it? The Pokémon statue placed in the shrine is the statue of the legendary Pokémon King Lei Guan.”

“King Lei Guan, the legendary King of Fertility, has the ability to make crops ripen instantly and flowers bloom instantly. It is said that when he comes to a place, he will make that land fertile.”

“Perhaps some viewers still have the impression that this Pokémon helped restore life to the forest this spring.”

“What a great Pokémon!” Reporter Xiaochun said softly while facing the camera.

At this moment, the photographer responsible for recording the program suddenly noticed a strange phenomenon above the shrine.

I saw a flash of light, and a Pokémon with a huge head that looked like a crown appeared above the shrine, looking lovingly at the humans below.

The photographer was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and quickly moved the camera.

Seeing his move, reporter Xiaochun also looked back.

 When she saw the figure that was exactly the same as the statue placed in the shrine, her mouth also opened in an O shape.

“Wow! That Pokémon… is that Pokémon the King of Thunder? Oh my god! King Thunder has appeared!”

The townspeople who were worshiping also saw King Lei Guan. Mayor Thomas knew that King Lei Guan lived in Zhishu Ranch, so he was not too surprised.

 The other uninformed townspeople were full of excitement.

 The legendary Pokémon appears! King Lei Guan must have sensed their sincerity, so he appeared here!

The scene was televised throughout the Padia region.

At this moment, everyone watching the evening news saw the figure of King Lei Guan with their own eyes.

Zhi Shu stood not far away with Guluton and other Pokémon and looked at the expressions on those people’s faces.

 He can now anticipate what will be in tomorrow’s news headlines.

“Shocked! The purpose of the Legendary Pokémon appearing at the festival is-” “The bond between Pokémon and humans! The Legendary Pokémon trusts humans, establishes friendship with humans through the festival, and cares about this land!”

 There is no doubt that these news will make more people know about the existence of King Leiguan, thus providing him with more faith and more strength.

 In this era where the speed of information dissemination is so advanced, if nothing unexpected happens, the deeds and legends of King Lei Guan will be passed down forever.

 And what happened today may become a new legend thousands of years from now, and become a story of humans and Pokémon running towards each other through the ages.

From now on, King Lei Guan will no longer have to worry about being forgotten by the world, losing his power, and falling into the same situation as before.

“Huh…” Looking at the scene in front of him, Naoki couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

 It is quite emotional to say that, who could have imagined that things would develop to what they are today?

 At the beginning, he just wanted to capture Lei Guanwang’s two beloved horses to participate in the horse racing meeting held in the town.

But he didn’t expect that his faith would help King Lei Guan by accident and establish trust with him.

In front of the Fenfu Shrine, King Lei Guan slowly floated in front of everyone, looking gently at the people who worshiped him, were grateful to him, and trusted him.

 If someone had told him a year ago that he would be reborn in the future, he would never believe it.

 But now, things have indeed happened.

His little believers traveled thousands of miles across the sea to find Him in that strange land, and helped Him find His beloved horse and restore His strength and memory.

And invited Him to come to this new land, spreading His legend everywhere and letting more humans know of His existence.

All of this not only helped Him, but also allowed His power to break through himself and reach a whole new level.

　　　For Naoki, King Lei Guan was filled with gratitude.

 For the humans living on this earth, He is also willing to trust them and bring them abundance.

Thinking of this, King Lei Guan turned his eyes to Zhi Shu not far away and looked at him gently.

it is more than words.

Zhi Shu smiled slightly and said to the Pokémon beside him: “Okay, let’s go for a walk under the mountain!”

 The Pokémon had no objections.

On the way down the mountain, Ergui looked at the brightly lit scenes and lively atmosphere around him.

This reminded him of the festival he had attended in Cuilu Town, Beishang Township.

Eguifen thought of the deceased man, perhaps because of the scene, and its eyes filled with tears, and it cried sadly.

Zhi Shu and the other Pokémon around him were stunned for a moment, and then they all turned their attention to Ergui.

 “Dingle bell?!”

Saifuhao was a little flustered. He didn’t understand why Erguifen, who was so happy just now, suddenly cried.

Zhi Shu can roughly guess it.

He reached out and touched Eguifen’s head and asked, “Have you thought about the past again?”

 Equie looked at him sadly: “Boni.”

Zhishu sighed. He was not in a hurry to go down the mountain, so he simply took Ergui and sat down on a deserted mountain road.

Today’s weather is very good. It is a sunny day without clouds. There are no clouds in the night sky. You can see an extremely beautiful starry sky when you stay here.

Zhi Shu led the Pokémon to look at the starry sky and said:

“There is a rumor in our human life. It is said that after a person leaves this world, his soul will rise into the sky and become a star in the sky to guard his relatives and guide them in the dark night.”

Hearing these words, Eguifen raised his head and looked at the night sky.

 The stars were reflected in its eyes, and Ergui asked: “Boni?”

 Zhi Shu nodded: “Well, he must be watching you and protecting you there. I hope you can live a happy life. Maybe he was the one who pointed out the direction for me to find you and take you away from that place.”

Eguifen’s face was moved: “Boni…”

It wiped away her tears with her hands and tried to cheer herself up again.

 Then he stood up and straightened the tree with his hands: “Boni!”

Zhishu saw what Eguifen meant, and Eguifen was saying: Go play!

 He said hello with a smile, and then went down the mountain with a few Pokémon.

The surrounding crowds were surging, and with the appearance of King Lei Guan, the atmosphere of the entire Fertility Festival reached its peak.

　　Visitors heard the news that the legendary Pokémon appeared, and rushed to the Fenghuo Shrine to watch.

 Gradually, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians around the stalls.

 Zhishu then released the Eevees from the Poké Ball and took them around for a walk.

Huoyibu also wanted to eat barbecue, so Naoki bought several more skewers of barbecue for him.

Mizuibu was very interested in the fish-shaped food sold at a stall, and Naoki immediately bought a big bag for it.

Reib took a fancy to a Pikachu-shaped night light, and Naoki bought it.

 Ice Eevee and Moon Eevee, along with several other little Eevee, stood in front of Uncle Carp King’s stall and watched the carp kings swimming in the water.

This time without Naoki taking action, Saifuhao confidently patted his chest to show that he was here to help the Eevees buy these fish!

Zhi Shu was so frightened that he quickly stopped him, stepped forward and took a few Pokémon away: “Those are not ordinary fish, and you can’t eat them, they are Pokémon!”

Hearing that he couldn’t eat it, Sai Fuhao gave up.

Equip looked left and right. Compared with those things, it enjoyed participating in this festival with Naoki more.

It has never been able to participate properly before. It either has to wear a mask or hide in a corner, and it has to be careful not to let others discover its “ghost” identity.

 Now, it no longer needs a mask to cover its face, and can wander around the festival as it pleases.

 Pokémons such as Gullton, Bubba, Biker, and Dragonite are all undesirable, because compared with these Eevee, they are already mature and large Pokémon.

Seeing this, Naoki took out his cell phone Rotom and prepared to record this scene.

 He turned on the video recording function, pointed the camera at the Pokémon in front of him, and said to them: “Come on, smile, I’ll record a video for you!”

With a click, the smiling faces of the Pokémon in the light were saved in the phone.

By the time everything was over, it was already half past nine in the evening.

It is getting late, and the harvest festival has come to an end.

Eevee, Saifuhao and other Pokémon began to fall asleep after eating, drinking, and playing tiredly. Naoki took out the Poké Ball and put them all into the ball.

Equipment is unwilling to enter the Poké Ball. It wants to walk home with Naoki.

Zhi Shu was startled for a moment, then nodded with a smile: “Okay, then let’s walk home together.”

They left the back mountain, riding the evening breeze and bathing in the starlight. Zhishu led the Pokémon to the country road leading to the pasture, and towards their home.
