bang! !
Monferno's "Fire Punch" took down the last Amoonguss.
Natsu gives Monferno and Latios two detox sprays.
Take the colorful spar that Eevee brought with you.
Now he has four spars in his hands, but there is no sign of happiness on his face.
When will this little collection end?
He wouldn't say how much to raise to meet the requirements, he was worried that before that time, the medicine in his hands would run out.
Except.
He gave up the idea of coaching Latios, Monferno, Eevee.
Let Beedrill come, the efficiency will be much higher, and the probability of injury will be much less.
Latios's "Heal Pulse" could also play a certain supporting role.
But he really didn't want to waste such this opportunity.
Monferno and Eevee are fine.
Latios would be too conspicuous on the outside if he wasn't in a different space.
If someone were to see it, it would definitely cause some unnecessary trouble.
Even though Natsu's power was slowly emerging now, it was troublesome and meaningless. If you can have less, it's better to have less.
This is a good opportunity to train Latios.
He looked up at the sky.
"Find a place to rest first."
After walking for a while, they arrived at the edge of a meadow, near a dense forest.
With experience, he found a place where meadows and forests intersected, with dense vegetation, and a place where a small river flowed, as a temporary foothold for this time.
Summons all Pokemon.
Give them dinner one by one.
Natsu then takes Dragapult to a river to clean up a rabbit he bumped into during the day.
Natsu doesn't take much else with him when he goes out, but Pokéblocks are the thing that worries him the least, even if there are several Eat Kings on the team.
He carries not only Pokéblocks, but also various Berries, and the entire Pokéblock-making kit.
No matter how bad it gets, there should be lots of Berries growing in this vast different space, which can also be used to create Pokéblocks.
While cleaning the rabbit's entrails, he asked, "Dragapult, is that a 'Dragon Crystal'?"
Dragapult followed Natsu's side.
In this different space, there was no need to be invisible to hide her tracks.
"Barty."
Hearing this, Natsu was slightly surprised.
"Is that so? Dragon crystals that aren't pure enough, but contain special powers."
It seems that this can only be used as a tool to go to the pillar.
Unless he finds a way to get rid of the shit.
But he was even more confused as to why Rayquaza had brought himself and Latios here.
Just to test them?
Let them climb the pillars?
"Bart yes!"
Suddenly.
Dragapult moved towards Natsu and called back the dazed Natsu.
Then look.
In a river that is not too fast, a brown wooden object floats in the river.
Natsu took it almost subconsciously.
Then completely stunned.
There was a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"This."
Seeing an old wooden object but still strong in his hands.
It was easy to judge that this should be a piece of wood, the middle was hollowed out by someone, and after being roasted by the flames, it formed into a bowl?
Pokemon don't use items like this.
Unless it's a Pokémon like Oranguru whose IQ far exceeds that of an ordinary Pokemon, its behavior is usually that of a human.
But Natsu quickly learns that this isn't something Pokémon made.
Because.
Many black finger prints were imprinted on the surface of this wooden bowl.
Some are faded, but some are still clear.
These fingerprints were left on unpolished wooden bowls and were difficult to clean.
It was these fingerprints that made Natsu determine that these were tools made by humans.
He stood up slowly, looking in the direction the stream was coming from.
"In other words, are there still humans living in this different space?"
This is a bit over the top.
Rayquaza usually lives in the ozone layer, and rarely lands in the Pokemon world. If there is a need, he must also enter his own different space, such as the toothbrush festival.
Then here's the thing.
When did Rayquaza who normally doesn't appear in the Pokemon world send humans here?
"Could it be an old monster that has lived for an unknown number of years."
This absurd thought appeared in Natsu's mind.
"The last recorded Rayquaza was decades ago at least, and even if Rayquaza teleported people back then, it would have been a long time ago."
Natsu muttered to himself again.
"How long have you been here"
Have lived here for decades?
But he quickly hooked his head.
"Not really. No matter how troublesome and difficult it is to collect spar, according to my estimation, it won't take a few months."
Suddenly.
As Natsu thought.
In the distance, the direction from which the stream flows.
In a dark and desolate place, a silhouette appeared.
While is a silhouette.
From such a distance and darkness, Natsu could only make out a faint outline, barely able to tell where the head was and where the hand was.
Only a pair of bright eyes.
Like two bright jewels, like two bright stars in the night.
When Natsu saw, the person's gaze also turned to Natsu's side.
Or preferably.
It fell in the "bowl" in Natsu's hands.
Natsu wasn't hostile towards the unknown humans who had been living here for a long time.
But also not very friendly.
Both just looked at each other in silence.
And that person stood still, staring at Natsu for a long time.
Just when Natsu was about to try to communicate with the other party, he saw that person turn around and quickly disappear into the forest with great flexibility.
Natsu opened his mouth.
He looked down at the bowl in his hand again.
He stood there silently for a long time without making any movement, until Dragapult lightly arched him beside him, and Natsu's thoughts came together.
Seeing humans in Rayquaza's different space was something he definitely didn't expect.
As for what attitude to hold, or even whether to contact him or not.
There are many reasons.
The main reason is that it is temporarily uncertain whether the other party is friendly or not, but there are also thoughts of wanting to know more about this different space from the person's mouth.
He shook his head, slowly exhaling.
"Forget it, let's give it a try. If the person isn't hostile, you can try to make contact. If there is hostility, troublesome matters must be resolved as soon as possible. This is where today's break is, I am afraid it will be replaced. Let's go."
He brought rabbit meat that had been washed and only half grilled.
And leave quickly.
Around midnight.
Head to the resting place that Natsu chose.
Under the misty night, a powerful silhouette moved swiftly through the forest. It's clearly human, but it can be as fast as a Normal Pokemon.
And that person's movements were very light, not producing much movement.
It's just that the person's clothes and appearance are a bit sloppy.
Disheveled hair hanging down to a slightly wavy chest, like a pile of weeds, and also wearing simple groomed fur for clothing, even barefoot, stepping on a tree without making a sound.
Pat-
Jump neatly from the tree.
Amidst that thick hair, the person's straight but slightly small nose twitched slightly.
When the person saw the bonfire that had been extinguished under the tree, person's bowl missing and half of the roast meat in the bowl, person's bright eyes brightened even more.
Two steps to the ashes of the bonfire, lifting a wooden bowl.
The scent wafting from nose made mouth water.
"Koommm-!!"
Behind that person was a large silhouette.
"Shhh!"
That person immediately moved towards the silhouette in a low voice.
"Comm~~"
Sure enough, a huge silhouette lowered its voice.
So that person thought about it, split the Roast in half, and threw the other half back.
It was swallowed in one bite.
That person also sat directly on the ground and ate.
Only then did the person notice that there was a line of words beside the wooden bowl.
"Is it good?"
However.
The person only tilted head.
Like do not understand what these words mean.
Then that person took a branch from the side.
Draw a smiling face on the ground.
After finishing this, that person ate the remaining roast meat in large mouthfuls, under the gaze of a silhouette behind, and with a gulp sound.
Clap your hands with satisfaction.
Do a jump, and jump behind the large silhouette.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, blowing the leaves and messy hair of that person.
Under the night light, one could see a pretty face covered in dust and dirt that was about fourteen or fifteen years old.
And a large Pokemon that reflects a slight golden metallic sheen.
