In the hotel, Fang Yuan and Eevee had already started packing their luggage.
The estimated time of departure for the Dragon Cave was either today or tomorrow.
Fang Yuan had waited a week for this day, and finally, it had arrived.
Every time he was about to subdue a new Pokémon, Fang Yuan would be as excited as a newlywed bride, full of anticipation.
Throughout the week, thanks to its innate talents and species advantages, along with high-grade nutritional snacks, Milotic successfully mastered Water Gun.
Mastering Water Gun was the biggest achievement, but it still had not learned other Water-type moves, including Surf and Dive.
As for the coordinated technique of the Water Tornado, that too was still at a standstill.
Perhaps it would take even more time before Milotic could master these skills.
There was also a minor reason; during the Elf Siege, Milotic saw Master Ni Feng from the Mizunaki Dojo use the Hail weather strategy and began to take an interest in Ice-Type moves.
Countless waves created by Water-type Spirits, along with dozens of sky-reaching water columns, were instantly frozen by frost; the expressive power of Ice Type moves made Milotic wonder if it had been training in the wrong direction.
So, it secretly focused some of its energy, which was supposed to be for learning Water-based moves, on practicing Icy Wind and Quick Freeze Beam...
For these changes, Fang Yuan did not stop it because Ice and Water were not so different. Being skilled at them could be helpful in combating Grass and Flying Attribute Spirits. Moreover, Milotic also had a high-age piece of Unmelting Ice, so practicing Ice-based moves was not considered negligible.
However, if it wished to become proficient in both Water and Ice systems, Milotic would need to work even harder.
After packing the luggage, Fang Yuan carefully selected Energy Blocks and packed them in a box within his backpack for later use.
Using Pokémon food to increase favorability with Wild Spirits was a common trick among Trainers, but Fang Yuan substituted Pokémon food with the unique Energy Blocks.
"Rotom!!!"
Having prepared everything, and just when Fang Yuan was thinking about playing a couple of rounds of connect five with Eevee, the phone Rotom suddenly started to make a fuss.
"What's the matter..."
Fang Yuan was annoyed; this Rotom just loved to cause a stir from time to time, often giving him a start.
"There's a call, Rotom..." the phone Rotom momentarily stopped its game and said.
"Connect."
For convenience, Fang Yuan had linked his phone information with the phone Rotom.
Fang Yuan really enjoyed having such a knowledgeable butler.
But... Eevee was not happy at all.
Fang Yuan's phone ringing = The gaming phone Rotom getting distracted = The Rotom partnering with it was about to let it down.
"Bwoo?" Eevee wiped its own phone screen with its paw pad, looked at its reflection shining on the clean screen, and pondered for a moment. Was it time to teach Rotom to multitask?
Meanwhile, after receiving the notification from Master Yun Miao, Fang Yuan's expression immediately became serious.
"The Quick Dragon Envoy has arrived at the Dragon Tower in the Dragon Cave; let's go," he said.
After finishing his sentence, Fang Yuan picked up his custom-made cloak, which had a cool appearance.
The Pokémon World Champion of the Four Heavenly Kings, the invincible Dragon Envoy, wears a cloak of the same style. Putting this on, you might just get a BUFF boost.
...
The Dragon Tower of Coastal City is 306 meters high, built for the purpose of detecting secret locations within the sea through radio waves, while also serving as a tourist attraction. Enshrined within are the cultures of Dragons, it's a must-visit for Trainers specializing in Dragon types.
On a platform 196 meters above the ground, a huge and gentle-looking Dragonite curiously looked around.
It reached out its hand to touch a photograph on the wall, expressing confusion.
In the photo was another Dragonite, but the one in the picture did not align with the description of Dragonite's calm temperament and kind heart—instead, it was filled with a brutal aura.
It seemed like a destructive deity that would not rest until everything was annihilated.
Below the photo, a line of small text was inscribed.
Dragonite, with its steady disposition and kind heart, often rescues people and Pokémon drowning at sea and guides lost ships to the shore. However, if its Outrage is triggered, it becomes more terrifying than a Blood Wing Dragon or a Garchomp...
However, this clueless Dragonite clearly couldn't read, so after scratching its head, it just moved on to look at the next picture.
At that moment, the automatic doors to the platform slowly opened, and Master Yun Miao arrived with Fang Yuan and Yun Guancheng.
"Greetings, Envoy of the Dragon Cave…" said Master Yun Miao respectfully upon seeing the Dragonite.
Although from the outside it looked like the Dragon Lineage controlled the Dragon Cave, in reality, their relationship with the Dragon Cave was always one of equality.
The Dragon Cave, as the home of the Huge Gyro Dragon—one of the Guardian Gods of Hua Nation—had always held a high status within the nation.
Inside the Dragon Cave, one could find Dragon Type Fairies almost everywhere, possessing mighty strength. In terms of power and background, it's much stronger than the Sun and Moon Forest Secret Territory.
"Roar~~~" The Dragonite greeted with a gentle smile, waving its hand.
After the greeting, the Dragonite looked at Fang Yuan and Yun Guancheng. Were these two the human New Trainers who were going to the Dragon Cave this year?
"(⊙﹏⊙)" The Dragonite Envoy looked at Fang Yuan wearing a cloak and then at Yun Guancheng in his adventure attire, scratching its head.
For some reason... the Dragonite thought Fang Yuan's cloak looked inexplicably cool.
Fang Yuan smiled. This cloak was prepared purely to satisfy his own quirky taste. When Fang Yuan showed up in this outfit, Master Yun Miao and Yun Guancheng were speechless for a long time, but Fang Yuan himself felt very good about it and thought it boosted his confidence.
"Bwoo~" The next moment, the Dragonite Envoy started to inquire when they could depart.
Although the Dragon Tower was interesting, the Dragonite was impatient to return to the Dragon Cave as there would be a festival there soon, and it didn't want to miss it.
So, it would be best if they could leave as soon as possible.
After understanding the Dragonite Envoy's intention, Fang Yuan and Yun Guancheng decided to depart right away.
However... suddenly, an idea came to Fang Yuan.
"Wait a second, Dragonite." Feeling the tranquil emotion from the Dragonite, Fang Yuan asked under the surprised gazes of Master Yun Miao and Yun Guancheng, "Um... I don't have a Flying-type Spirit… could you give me a lift on the way..."
Originally Fang Yuan intended to have Glutton, Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, and Sun Eevee use their Superpower to protect him as he flew over. But after seeing the Dragonite, he changed his mind, wanting to experience what it was like to ride a Dragonite. For a Pokémon that often rescues people and other Pokémon drowning at sea, such a small request shouldn't be refused, right...?
"Bwoo~?" The Dragonite was momentarily puzzled, then cheerfully nodded its head... and thumped its chest, no problem, it's a trifle~~
The responsive attitude of the Dragonite Envoy almost brought Fang Yuan to tears. It was the complete opposite of Milotic; Dragonite was just too adorable.
