Not Being a Trainer This Time

Chapter 787 407: The Heroic Expedition Team Returns, the Birth of the Invincible Divine Steamed Bun!

Now the question arises, what kind of dish can be created from Ho-oh's feather?

Naoki couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

But before handling the feather, he needed to ask a few Pokemon for their opinions.

"Can I make a dish out of the feather?"

"Teddi!" (No problem, after all, it was supposed to be a gift for you, Naoki!) Teddiursa said.

It was lying on the woolen carpet, holding its small stomach, which was bloated from eating too many cookies.

"Alright, thank you, I really like this gift." Naoki said with a smile, then turned to find Calyrex, asking for its assistance in using Psychic to transform the feather into powder.

Calyrex gladly agreed.

After three seconds, the Rainbow Feather turned into a handful of golden-red powder akin to flour.

Naoki took a closer look, and the information about the powder surfaced in his mind.

[Ho-oh's Feather Powder: A legendary ingredient containing abundant Divine Power, Power of Blessing, and Flame Power. Once made into a dish, it might have some magical effects.]

Seeing this, Naoki inwardly exclaimed that it was just as he thought.

He affectionately patted the heads of Teddiursa and Mew, then said, "Wait here, I'll steam some buns for you!"

Naoki turned and went to the kitchen to start his work.

Having had their fill, the three Pokemon joyfully looked around, greeting the Pokemon on the ranch.

Although there were many unknown Pokemon, after mutual introductions, they quickly became familiar.

When Mew and Teddiursa saw the Farfetch'd they had invited to the ranch, they were both shocked.

"Teddi!" (So strong!)

"Miu!" (Such a big change!)

"Quack!" Farfetch'd looked at them, quite pleased.

If it weren't for Mew and Teddiursa, it wouldn't be where it is today.

At that moment, Farfetch'd was immensely grateful for having encountered the Heroic Expedition Team and coming to the ranch, where it met Naoki.

Naoki was very familiar with the process of making steamed buns.

Kneading the dough, letting it rise, shaping it into buns, and steaming them.

By noon, the heavy snow outside had stopped.

The room full of Pokemon eagerly donned the scarves Naoki bought for them and ran outside to play in the snow.

The three Pokemon of the Heroic Expedition Team also went outside.

But unlike the others, their goal was to see if the World Tree had grown.

However, as soon as they went outside, Zapdos and Mew noticed that the World Tree planted in the grass had vanished!

The Pokemon were shocked and quickly found Naoki, chattering that the World Tree was gone!

Naoki was just steaming the buns when he heard them and responded with a smile:

"It's not gone. It got too big for the ranch, so I moved it somewhere else."

Then Naoki asked Indeedee to watch the pot while he took the three Pokemon across the lake into the Reversed World.

In the next moment, Zapdos, Mew, and Teddiursa found themselves in the void, looking at an extraordinarily tall and sturdy giant tree.

"Chirp!" Zapdos was visibly excited; this was the perfect dwelling it had always dreamed of!

Mew and Teddiursa also looked amazed.

At that moment, they finally understood what Naoki meant when he said the World Tree would grow very large, and they could invite all their Pokemon friends to live there.

Naoki brought the three Pokemon to the tree.

The excited Zapdos began flying around the World Tree.

Mew, also excited, flew onto the branches.

Naoki, holding Teddiursa, stood under the tree, looking up at the scene.

Seeing Mew so enthusiastic, it seemed to be planning to use Secret Power on the World Tree to build a secret base for the Heroic Expedition Team there.

Naoki said with a smile, "This isn't the World Tree's limit. In the future, it will be ten times larger than it is now."

The giant tree rose from the ground, with its own self-sustaining ecosystem inside.

Naoki had already started planning ideas for constructing the World Tree.

The World Tree, rich with Natural Energy, would be the perfect growing place for crops and plants.

It could have its own ecosystem inside.

For example, Arboliva providing delicious olive oil, Gogoat producing goat milk, Tropius providing Berries, Garganacl producing Rock Salt, Miltank providing milk, Combee producing Honey, and Alcremie producing cream and excelling at making desserts.

Once the World Tree fully matures, Naoki plans to help Mew and Teddiursa build an Exploration Team Union there.

The union will include shops selling supplies and healing items, a cafeteria for Pokemon, an orchard producing Berries, a farm providing wheat, dorm rooms for Pokemon, and more.

The shopkeepers for these places will be Pokemon themselves, and with so many companions, they surely won't feel lonely.

Even if Naoki isn't around in the future, these Pokemon can sustain themselves, operating on their own, living happily ever after in the World Tree.

But it's too early to talk about these things now.

After all, the World Tree hasn't matured yet; its growth isn't even halfway there.

Leaving the three Pokemon at the World Tree, Naoki returned to the ranch alone.
