Not Being a Trainer This Time

Chapter 704

"If you all just sneak out without saying anything, you'll only make people worry, you understand?"

Seeing Naoki didn't get angry, several Pokémon nodded repeatedly, indicating they understood.

Naoki waved his hand: "Alright, you haven't eaten all night, right? Go find my sister to get some food."

"Rawr!" Dragonite hugged Naoki and happily ran off.

But soon, as if it just suddenly remembered something, it turned back and took something out from its small satchel and handed it over.

Naoki instinctively reached out to take it: "What's this?"

Looking down, he saw a pitch-black scale lying in his palm.

The scale shimmered with a strange luster, cold and hard to the touch.

Dragonite explained excitedly: "Rawr rawr!" (It's a scale given to us by Rayquaza seniors! They said we can use this scale to summon them, and then they'll come play with us!)

Naoki: "???"

"Wait, what did you say?" Naoki was momentarily stunned.

Dragonite looked puzzled but still repeated itself.

Naoki's emotions suddenly surged like a tidal wave as he looked at the scale in his hand with disbelief and asked:

"Rayquaza's Dragon Scale? You guys found it?"

Ogerpon: "Bonnie bonnie!" (Rayquaza is a very nice Pokémon! It chatted with us for a long time, and even showed us its skill in defeating Groudon and Kyogre!)

Cyclizar looked hopeful: "Gaarow!" (So awesome!)

Butterfree nodded repeatedly: "Fwi fwi!" (That's right!)

Naoki: "..."

His first reaction was to think how bored Rayquaza must have been to chat with these Pokémon for an entire night and morning.

But soon, Naoki was amazed by Dragonite's unbelievable luck.

First, it went to an underwater cave and found Kyogre, then went searching for Rayquaza after hearing about its exploits, and even made connections with it.

So the question arose, what if he introduced other Legendary Pokémon to Dragonite?

With this thought, Naoki suddenly became interested and said to Dragonite:

"Let me tell you the myth of Arceus. Next time, see if you can find Arceus and bring it back."

Dragonite: "..."

"No, no way, Arceus is probably still asleep in the Alternate Space now." Naoki shook his head.

Then what about Ho-oh and Lugia?

If possible, he could really tell Dragonite about the legend of Ho-oh and the Rainbow Hero!

But obviously, these are somewhat unrealistic.

Looking at the scale in his hand, connecting it with the previous feathers of Zapdos and Lugia, Naoki started to think about making a dish for Pokémon out of Rayquaza's Dragon Scale.

But looking at Dragonite, he felt this thing might be quite important to Dragonite.

After all, it could be considered a testament to the friendship between Rayquaza and Dragonite.

And since Rayquaza said Dragonite could use it to summon them, it meant Rayquaza could sense this Dragon Scale.

In this situation, if he ground the scale into powder to make dishes, he couldn't tell how Rayquaza would regard them.

It might think Dragonite destroyed their token of friendship, and then just cut ties with Dragonite.

The more severe possibility would be that it angrily came over to fight.

After some thought, Naoki abandoned the idea of making it into a dish and handed the Dragon Scale back to Dragonite.

"Keep it safe!"

Dragonite extended its claw to receive: "Rawr?"

Naoki suddenly thought of something quite interesting.

He said to Dragonite: "If you run into Kyogre again, and it attacks you, you can use this scale to summon Rayquaza for help."
