Not Being a Trainer This Time

Chapter 701

Cyclizar also raised its head to look at the figure of Rayquaza, its heart was shocked: "Gao..." (So amazing...)

Butterfree was so overwhelmed by that terrifying pressure it couldn't speak at all.

The power of this Pokemon is simply too formidable!

Dragonite followed alongside the three Pokemon, nodding excitedly: "Ooh!" (That's right, truly impressive!)

Listening to these words of praise and gazing at these admiring eyes, Rayquaza could clearly feel that these Pokemon genuinely thought it was incredible.

Rayquaza was very happy with the flattery, it had never felt like this before, nor had any Pokemon treated it this way.

Rayquaza was completely rid of its morning grumpiness, looking at the few Pokemon in front of it, and remarked joyfully:

"Roar." (All those are past events, I only intervened back then because I sensed the pleas of humans, and thus stopped those two fellows.)

"Wow!" The group of Pokemon exclaimed in awe, so impressive!

Rayquaza burst into laughter, as if opening a box of stories, narrating its past to these adoring Pokemon.

Dragonite and Cyclizar listened eagerly.

Dragonite thought enthusiastically: No wonder Rayquaza is such a senior, neither Groudon nor Kyogre together could be its match. In the future, it too wants to become a divine dragon like Rayquaza!

In Cyclizar's eyes shone a light of admiration: Rayquaza truly is amazing, so awesome!

Butterfree, being the weakest Pokemon, didn't dare to speak with such a great being, and thus stayed quietly on the side, listening.

Ogerpon, with its outgoing personality and courage, occasionally asked Rayquaza about the details back then, such as what moves Rayquaza used to defeat those two Pokemon.

Rayquaza answered one by one, introducing its most skilled move called Dragon Ascent.

When it unleashes this move, its body turns into a green line piercing the sky.

Apparently feeling that speaking wasn't enough, Rayquaza even demonstrated to a few Pokemon.

The sky gradually brightened, and the few Pokemon who happily chatted with Rayquaza senior completely forgot about returning to the ranch before dawn.

Paldea Region, Porto Marinada Town, Naoki Ranch.

When the sun rose from the east, Naoki got up, ready to start his new day's work.

But he quickly discovered something amazing, several Pokemon in the ranch were missing!

Naoki hurriedly counted the Pokemon in the ranch and finally found the missing ones were Dragonite, Cyclizar, Butterfree, and Ogerpon.

Oh no!

Naoki was greatly shocked, countless possibilities flashed through his mind.

Could it be that some terrifying being broke into the ranch in the middle of the night and took away these Pokemon?

Beside him, Koraidon looked speechless: "Aghiss..."

Seeing that Koraidon seemed to know where they went, Naoki quickly ate a piece of Translation Nuts Cake.

Then, Koraidon spoke: "Aghiss." (They went to find Rayquaza.)

"???"

Naoki froze for a moment, then asked incredulously: "Went to find Rayquaza?"

Koraidon nodded its big head helplessly.

Naoki immediately thought it might be because of the story he told last night about Rayquaza.

These Pokemon...

Naoki suddenly felt a headache, asking: "Who led them?"

How could even the most honest Cyclizar be coaxed into this?

Koraidon hesitated and said nothing, wanting to help conceal the truth.

However, Naoki saw through it at a glance: "It must be Dragonite!"

Back then, the only ones listening to the story were Cyclizar, Koraidon, and Dragonite. Given Cyclizar's nature, it couldn't have done such a thing, and Koraidon didn't go, it must have been Dragonite who suggested it.

Remembering this, Naoki turned to check the Poke Ball rack at home, sure enough finding three Poke Balls missing from it.

"They sure are smart." Knowing to use Poke Balls to take the non-flying Pokemon out.

Above the clouds.

When the noon sunlight shone on Cyclizar's face, Cyclizar finally came back from its excited state.

It suddenly remembered something, then opened its mouth and said: "Gao?" (We should be heading back, right?)

With its words, the few Pokemon beside it also suddenly realized it was getting late.

So Dragonite stood up, reluctantly bidding farewell to Rayquaza senior.

"Ooh!" (We should be heading back, otherwise Naoki will worry!)

Rayquaza looked at it, asking: "Roar?" (Naoki?)

Dragonite nodded happily: "Ooh!" (That's right! That's our trainer, we live together on the ranch with him! He's the one who told us about Rayquaza senior's story!)

Rayquaza nodded, thinking that human indeed portrayed it as the great hero who saved the world in the story.

Thinking of this, looking at the few Pokemon ready to leave, Rayquaza without hesitation took out something from its body.

It was a pitch-black Dragon Scale, shimmering with a peculiar luster, appearing extremely mystical.

Rayquaza used its Dragon Claw to hand the scale to Dragonite.

Dragonite reached out to receive it, looking down at the scale, a bit puzzled: "Ooh?" (What is this?)

Rayquaza replied: "Roar." (This is a scale shed from my body, you can use it to call upon me, at that time, I will come to meet with you.)
