Naoki looks up and sees Dragonite Island appearing in view.
They accelerate, and soon land on Dragonite Island.
The Dragonites and the many un-evolved Dratini and Dragonair on the island noticed their arrival.
In just a moment, Naoki perceives dozens of sparkling eyes focused on him.
Naoki: "?" What’s going on?
With a "swish," several tiny figures darted out from the bushes.
They are the Dratini and Dragonair that left the pasture this morning.
Seeing their delighted expressions, Naoki couldn’t help but reach out to touch their heads, smiling as he asked, "Did you miss me?"
The Dratini and Dragonair nodded repeatedly: "Woo!"
The nearby Dragonite squints its eyes: "Awoo." It’s only been half a day!
It wants to say more, but in the next moment, more Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonites burst over, pushing the Dragonite to the side and surrounding Naoki.
"Awoo!"
"Woo~"
"..."
Dragonite widened its eyes, suddenly watching this scene warily.
What’s happening?
Why is this group suddenly so enthusiastic?
The growls of Dragon Type Pokemon rose and fell, and Naoki felt the characters he saved with Translation Nuts were being rapidly consumed.
Even he was a little overwhelmed at the moment.
Through their growls, Naoki roughly understands what is happening.
It turns out that during the day, an irritable Dragonite returned to Dragonite Island with two wild Dragonites and a group of Dratini and Dragonair, carrying Poffins that emitted a tempting fragrance.
The Dragon-type Pokemon on the island were attracted and came to ask what they were.
In response, the wild Dragonites, Dragonairs, and Dratinis proudly replied: "Awoo!" (These are the food Naoki gave us!)
They happily shared their life in the pasture.
Especially the little Dratini and Dragonair.
Their vivid description unexpectedly succeeded in attracting a large group of guests eager to experience pasture life to Naoki.
Naoki: "..."
At this moment, Dragonite also realized what had happened, but it can no longer squeeze in.
It sadly thought: If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have brought Naoki to Dragonite Island at that time.
Regrets!
"Aga hiss..."
Koraidon adapted to Naoki being warmly welcomed by Pokemon much earlier than Dragonite.
After all, no matter what, these Dragonites cannot go to Naoki’s room and sleep with him.
To Naoki, Koraidon is unique!
Koraidon learned to find joy amidst suffering and tried to share this skill with Dragonite.
At this moment, a dragon roar drew many Dragonites’ attention.
They turned around and then flew over with the Dratini and Dragonair to the other side of the island.
Finally released, Naoki sweats profusely.
These Dragonites are just... too enthusiastic about his food!
But this played right into his hands, as he could soon use food as a reward to establish Dragonite Delivery Company.
Noticing what was happening over there, Naoki asked the nearby Dragonite, "Is it starting?"
Dragonite’s attention was also directed toward this matter.
It nodded and then flapped its wings to fly into the sky.
Naoki rode Koraidon closely behind, arriving at the other end of the island.
The bright moon hangs high, and under the illumination of the gentle moonlight, the entire ocean seems like a dreamy world.
The sea is deep blue, and the moonlight is soft.
Underneath the sea, a whirlpool appeared at some point.
Dratini and Dragonair in midair plunge into the sea one after another, rushing into the vortex, swimming vigorously inside.
Naoki hurriedly picked up his camera to capture this spectacular scene.
Suddenly, the seawater began to reverse flow, as if it had gained life, forming a water spout toward the sky and the moon.
Then, another water spout emerged from the sea!
Is this... the water flowing towards the moon that Dragonite mentioned before?!
Naoki’s pupils shrank, staring at the impossible scene unfolding before him, completely stunned.
But then, he noticed through the camera that there seemed to be something inside those water spouts.
Naoki quickly adjusted the camera focus, enlarging the picture.
The next second, the true forms of those mysterious shadows appeared in the lens.
They are small, blue-bodied Pokemon, almost merging with the seawater!
They are small in stature, with a round head sporting ribbon-like antennae, a small mouth, a pair of large blue eyes, and an oval red gem on the chest.
It has a pointed, singular foot, seemingly yet to fully develop.
That is...
Phione?!
