Chapter 94

Not long later, we surfaced once again, this time on the other side of the huge tornado. And the place could not be anymore different.

The water of the ocean here around us was calm and serene, and when I looked straight up, a clear, cloudless bright blue sky met my eyes, the sun beaming down warmly.

Weather manipulation was overpowered man. And convenient as hell. A Dragonair could basically give you any type of day you want.

Feel like getting a tan? Dragonair can move the clouds and bring the sun out. Want a rainy night to fall asleep to? Dragonair's on the job.

…Do Dragonite lose the ability to manipulate the weather like that when they evolve?

I'll need to look into that.

And speaking of Dragonair and Dragonite.

My gaze was drawn forward, a good thousand feet or so away, I saw a large island, it was full of ripe, green trees and at the front I caught sight of a golden sand filled beach.

My eyes weren't on the island for long though.

No, rather, my eyes were drawn to the dozens of long and gracefully beautiful dark blue scaled, serpentine dragons playing in the water near the beach, and the various familiar yellow scaled bipedal dragons relaxing on said beach.

Holy shit.

My mouth dropped low in surprise.

Already I can see a dozen Dragonair and at least seven Dragonite. I knew from meta knowledge this island was fucking stacked with the Dragonite line, but knowing that objectively and seeing it in person was a whole other ball game.

Milotic eyed them all hesitantly, and gave a worried trill to me. I can understand the hesitation.

We're utter badasses, but this is an island full of Dragonite.

"Don't worry, putting the guy I caught a little while ago aside, these guys are really friendly." I assured her.

Her hesitation vanished at my assurance and she gave an understanding trill and nodded.

Then, I directed her towards the island at a slow pace, her graceful body casually scything gently through the water towards the beach.

As we approached the island, the group of Dragonair stopped playing in the water and looked towards us curiously, yet that was all. There wasn't a lick of hostility or suspicion in them at all.

"Heya." I grinned and waved towards them.

"Drooo!" the one closest trilled, a beautiful majestic sound, just like Milotic and lifted its tail up out of the water to wave back, its fellows copying it a moment later.

And then they returned to their playing.

Hmm, they really must be quite used to humans to be so at ease with me despite this place being so heavily blocked off.

Then again, if I remember right, quite a few people got brought here sometimes after being saved by them and the Dragonite after being shipwrecked.

Moments later, we reached the beach and I hopped off of Milotic's back, "Thanks a bunch girl, you did a great job." I praised, reaching rubbing her atop the head affectionately.

She happily nuzzled me back in return.

I returned her to her pokeball a minute later and looked around, my eyes drifting over the various Dragonite spread out over the beach.

Most of them were relaxing atop the soft sand, snoring peacefully away, while two sat beneath a tree, chowing on some berries.

One of them met my eyes as I looked towards them, and greeted me with a light wave, before going back to eating.

…So incredibly chill.

Nothing at all like the rage beast that attacked me outside in the storm beyond the island.

…The urge to go on a massive catching spree is real.

But, I'm not gonna. Even if the idea of a legion of Dragonite under my command is enough to make me almost salivate.

I don't know why. But, it feels wrong somehow. Funny how I don't mind planning on doing so to an island full of Squirtle, Wartortle and Blastoise though.

Heh.

Does that make me a hypocrite?

I chuckled, "Well, I'm fine with that." I mused. Honestly, I would have left already after catching my current Dragonite, but I still have one more thing I want to do.

I want another one. Not for me though.

But for Hilda.

I can't shake the feeling that something fishy is going on, and it made me worried for some reason and I've no idea why.

At least if she has a Dragonite backing her up, I won't have to worry.

With that thought in mind, I made my way over to the two Dragonite eating to their hearts content, "Hey Dragonite, how's things?" I greeted them.

The one on the left paused just as it was about to eat what looked like a Sitrus Berry, "Drodro." it warbled and gave a shrug while gesturing at its berry, while the other one just looked at me curiously.

"Cool, cool," I nodded, I've no idea what it said, but I've got the feeling it basically told me nothing much, just relaxing and having a bite, "So, I'm gonna come out and say it, I'm looking to catch one of you guys." I revealed bluntly.

Both of them blinked at me.
