Chapter 195:Reaching Dragon Island!
Added 2025-01-22 09:39:17 +0000 UTC“Wishiwashi!”
The Wishiwashi Ruler looked at the figure racing through the sky and let out a deep roar.
Splash!
Hydro Pump began to condense.
Boom!
The Hydro Pump unleashed by the gathered school of fish was incredibly powerful.
It soared through the sky like a roaring blue dragon!
“Dragonite!”
At that moment, the orange figure in the sky that was preparing to dive toward the sea abruptly halted.
Zing!
Lightning flickered!
“Dragonite.”
This was a Dragonite.
Thunder Punch!
Boom!
The Hydro Pump, shaped like a dragon in the air, exploded instantly under Dragonite’s Thunder Punch, turning into countless water droplets.
Natsume, who was walking toward Lapras No. 1, suddenly turned around, astonished at the Pokémon that had appeared so suddenly.
Natsume murmured, “Is that... Dragonite?!”
“Wishiwashi!”
The Wishiwashi Ruler roared once more.
It whipped its tail, causing the waves to rise high.
Aqua Tail!
Dragonite looked surprised at the school of Wishiwashi and saw them gearing up for an attack, quickly raising its fist again.
“Dragonite.”
On the ship, Natsume's Dragonite recognized that the suddenly appearing Pokémon was its own kind, and its expression filled with excitement.
In an instant, Dragonite shot up into the sky.
Dragonite zoomed between the Wishiwashi Ruler and Wild Dragonite.
“Dragonite!”
Dragonite spread its arms as a protective barrier quickly rose.
Bang!
The Aqua Tail from Wishiwashi and Thunder Punch from the Wild Dragonite charged toward Dragonite simultaneously.
The sounds of two intense explosions erupted.
Smoke filled the air, and the shockwaves of energy rippled outwards.
Waves rolled across the sea.
Lapras No. 1 was also pushed back by the force of the energy.
Seeing Dragonite standing between them, the Wishiwashi Ruler paused its attack.
The wild Dragonite did the same.
“Dragonite!”
Seeing this, Dragonite slowly lowered its arms.
The energy protective barrier it had created faded away with the movement of Dragonite's hands.
The wild Dragonite was at level 68, demonstrating battle strength comparable to the gathered school of Wishiwashi Ruler.
With Dragonite now at level 86, it could easily defend against attacks from both Pokémon.
"Dragonite~"
Dragonite prevented the battle from continuing between them.
The wild Dragonite looked at Natsume's Dragonite in surprise.
"Dragonite."
They began to converse.
The wild Dragonite said that due to the storm today, it was patrolling this area of the sea to check for any victims.
It occasionally does this with its kin or relatives on the island.
Dragonite charged down suddenly simply because it heard the calls for help from that group of people.
However, Dragonite didn’t understand why Wishiwashi and the others were trying to stop it.
"Dragonite~"
Dragonite naturally said it was because they were the bad ones.
When the wild Dragonite heard Natsume’s Dragonite say this, it immediately believed it.
Listening to their conversation, Natsume also understood the background of the wild Dragonite at that moment.
It was a Dragonite living on Dragon Island!
"Manaphy~"
The noise from the battle between Dragonite and Wishiwashi Ruler was quite significant.
Manaphy and the others had also come out.
Onami had put on a jacket and followed them out.
"Dragonite?"
Onami looked at the two Dragonites flying in the sky in surprise.
"Natsume, what’s going on?"
Natsume gazed at the Dragonites in the sky and said, "I think we might have encountered the Dragonite from the legends of Dragon Island."
"Dragonite~"
The Dragonite from Dragon Island was very happy to see its kin or relatives.
It invited Natsume's Dragonite to join it in going to Dragon Island.
"Dragonite~"
Dragonite immediately nodded excitedly.
"Dragonite."
At this moment, Dragonite pointed at Natsume again.
The Dragonite from Dragon Island nodded slightly.
They didn’t mind humans visiting Dragon Island.
In fact, there are legends about Dragon Island all over, and the contents of these legends are basically the same, indicating that Dragon Island has had many visitors.
"Dragonite~"
The Dragonite from Dragon Island waved its hand, signaling for Natsume and the others to follow.
“Let’s go.”
“Let’s check out the legends of Dragon Island together.”
Natsume grabbed Onami's hand and, along with Gardevoir and Manaphy, ascended into the sky.
The waves here were monstrous, crashing like mountains.
The howling winds whipped up a massive twister, connecting the sea waves with the pitch-black clouds.
Underneath the sea was a series of giant whirlpools.
They devoured everything that got close.
“I know this area.”
Onami suddenly said, “This is a famous sea of death, known as Giratina’s Delta.”
“In the legends, any ships that pass through here end up getting sent to the world where Giratina lives through these whirlpools.”
“And to my knowledge, not a single ship has ever managed to leave here intact.”
Natsume replied, “In such an environment, regular ships really wouldn’t stand a chance.”
“However, the legends say Dragon Island is a place with eternal spring, so I doubt it would be caught in this storm, right?”
As Natsume said this, he suddenly had a realization.
“I understand now.”
Natsume exclaimed, “Dragon Island is likely within a secret realm.”
“There should be an entrance to the secret realm around here.”
While Natsume was discussing his guess with Onami, Dragonite looked at them and gave a warning.
“Dragonite~”
After saying that, Dragonite dove towards a whirlpool on the surface of the ocean.
“Let’s go.”
Natsume said as he led Onami and the other Pokémon, plunging into the underwater whirlpool.
The power of the whirlpool was immense; if one had strength below near Champion level, they likely wouldn’t even qualify to be here.
In the center of the whirlpool, there was a gap with blue luminescence spilling out.
Dragonite soared toward that gap and instantly vanished from sight.
Natsume and the others followed closely behind.
Swish~
As Natsume and the others passed through the gap, they first felt the world plunge into darkness, and then they noticed the roaring sea had disappeared.
The surroundings became very calm.
“Dratini?”
Natsume opened his eyes to find a small Dratini curiously gazing at him from the tranquil sea.
Natsume was momentarily taken aback by the Dratini, but then smiled, “Hello there, Dratini.”
Notice: You have entered the secret realm - Dragon Island.
Quest Reward: Unlock Dragon Island teleport point; All Dragon-type Pokémon in the Farm gain one level; treasure draw *1.
Natsume looked around.
This place appeared to be a peaceful sea.
Floating above the water was Dragon Island.
On the island, he could see a few Dragonites lounging under the trees, sleeping.
Since it was elevated, the area seemed very quiet.
Additionally, aside from Dragonites, other Pokémon lived here as well.
In the water, a few Turtwig were swimming leisurely by.
“Wartortle~”
Wartortle seemed very curious about the Tirtouga.
It chased after the Tirtouga along with Marshtomp.
Two Anorith were quietly observing Natsume and his group.
As soon as they noticed Natsume's gaze, they hurriedly dove to the bottom of the sea.
“Kabutops~”
Natsume also spotted a Kabutops.
“Hey, Kabutops! It looks like the Kabutops from the Farm live around here.”
Natsume fulfilled his promise to the Kabutops, vowing to help them find their former home.
Once Natsume completed the tasks on Dragon Island, he would be able to unlock the teleport point to return to the Farm directly.
“This really is a secret realm.”
Onami said to Natsume, “With an environment like that outside the secret realm, it’s no wonder Dragon Island is referred to as a place of legends.”
“If it weren't for Dragonite guiding us, I think it would have been difficult for us to find the entrance.”
Natsume nodded, “Let’s go, let’s head to the island and take a look.”
“Dratini~”
The Dratini beside Natsume appeared to be quite curious.
It was asking about Natsume and his companions’ origins.
Natsume looked at the Dratini and felt a great sense of familiarity.
“We come from a faraway place.”
“A Farm called Takamagahara.”
Natsume smiled at Dratini and said, “You probably haven’t heard of it.”
“Dratini~”
Dratini nodded.
It indeed had not heard of that place.
Natsume looked at the little Dratini and said to the Dragonite beside him, “You used to be like this too, back when you would wrap around my neck like a scarf.”
“Dragonite~”
Dragonite lowered its head and leaned in to observe the little Dratini closely.
“Dragonite~”
The Dragonite from Dragon Island then gathered some berries from the island and brought them over to Natsume and the others.
“Thank you.”
Natsume tried one.
The berries were very sweet and juicy.
“Dragonite~”
Dragonite also seemed to really enjoy eating the berries here.
“Dragonite~”
Dragonite wanted to return to the Farm to share its favorite Springy Mushroom with them.
“There’s no rush.”
Natsume smiled at Dragonite and said, “If all goes well, we’ll be able to come here regularly in the future.”
“Dragonite~”
“Wartortle!”
Just as Dragonite was talking to Natsume, it saw Wartortle running hurriedly toward the sandy beach at the edge of the island, shouting.
Following Wartortle was a Tirtouga.
It turned out a Tirtouga had bitten onto Wartortle's tail.
“Frogadier.”
Frogadier and Marshtomp followed behind, pulling hard, which finally freed Tirtouga from Wartortle's tail.
Wartortle cradled its reddened tail and then angrily shouted at Tirtouga.
“Frogadier~”
Frogadier chuckled from the side.
“Tirtouga~”
Tirtouga glanced at Frogadier and, opening its mouth, bit down on Frogadier's hand.
“Frogadier!”
Frogadier gasped in surprise.
Frogadier, in pain, jumped up and vigorously shook its arm, creating afterimages, until it finally managed to throw Tirtouga off.
“Wartortle~”
Wartortle, who had just been furious, was no longer angry upon seeing this scene and instead burst into laughter.
“Frogadier!”
Frogadier shouted furiously at Tirtouga.
Frogadier wanted to challenge Tirtouga to a duel!
“Tirtouga~”
Tirtouga glanced at Frogadier.
A Water Gun shot out instantly.
“Frogadier!”
Frogadier quickly dodged and grabbed a small stone, launching it at Tirtouga.
Bam~
The stone struck the shell on Tirtouga’s back, producing a muffled sound.
“Natsume, is it okay if they start fighting?”
Natsume smiled and said, “It's fine, just look.”
“Dragonite~”
At the edge of the beach, two Dragonites flew over.
They were happily eating the berries in their hands, watching the commotion between Frogadier and Tirtouga.
This was a Tirtouga with Gym Leader potential, level 25, with the ability Sturdy.
Tirtouga is a Water and Rock-type Pokémon.
They lived approximately one hundred million years ago.
In the world outside the secret realm, they are an extinct species.
However, with the advancements in fossil revival technology, they were brought back to life from fossils.
Yet, on this Dragon Island, these Pokémon that should have been extinct continue to survive.
In other words, the history of Dragon Island must be quite ancient.
“Frogadier, use Double Team!”
At this moment, Natsume joined the battle between Frogadier and Tirtouga.
“Frogadier~”
Frogadier immediately used Double Team while quickly running toward Tirtouga.
Tirtouga looked left and right.
Clearly, this Tirtouga didn't know how to deal with this move.
“Dratini?”
Dratini had wrapped itself around Natsume's hand.
It looked at Natsume curiously, asking why Frogadier was following his commands.
This Dratini seemed to have a good impression of Natsume.
“Because that's how the battle between a Trainer and a Pokémon works.”
Natsume said, looking at Frogadier, “Now, Pound!”
Bam~
Frogadier slammed its paw down heavily on Tirtouga.
Tirtouga's head hit the ground with a thud.
It shook its head, dazed, and then opened its mouth to lunge at Frogadier's body!
“Frogadier~”
Frogadier was quick, easily dodging Tirtouga’s attack and leaping onto Tirtouga’s back.
“Pound!”
Pop~
Tirtouga quickly became dizzy from Frogadier's series of Pounds.
Natsume took out a Poké Ball.
“Go!”
Bang~
A red light shot out, capturing Tirtouga inside.
Shake~ Ding~.
“Frogadier~”
Frogadier picked up the Poké Ball and shook it vigorously in a retaliatory manner.
Natsume watched this scene and said with a smile, “Alright, Frogadier, give it to me.”
Frogadier approached Natsume with the Poké Ball.
“Dratini~”
Dratini looked curiously at the Poké Ball.
“Is this your first time seeing a Pokémon?”
“Dratini~”
Dratini nodded.
This was Dratini’s first time, but it had heard the Dragonites on the island talk about this magical item.
Natsume asked, “So, would you like to come in and experience it?”
Onami looked at Natsume with a strange expression.
She thought that Natsume seemed like a suspicious uncle trying to lure kids with a lollipop.
“Dratini~”
Dratini nodded.
Natsume gently tapped the Poké Ball against Dratini’s forehead.
Shake~ Ding~.
Lured successfully!
Onami stared in shock at this scene.
“Huh?”
Onami was dumbfounded.
Did he just get another near-Godly level Dragonite?
Natsume looked at Onami and smiled, “If you really want to capture this Dratini, you’ll probably need the approval of the other Dragonites. Look at them.”
Upon hearing Natsume's reminder, Onami finally noticed that the surrounding Dragonites had all turned their attention to them.
Dragon Island Task: Capture three types of Pokémon living on Dragon Island 2/3.
Natsume looked at Onami and smiled, “If you really want to capture this Dratini, you’ll probably need the approval of the other Dragonites. Look at them.”
Upon hearing Natsume's reminder, Onami finally noticed that the surrounding Dragonites had all turned their attention to them.
Dragon Island Task: Capture three types of Pokémon living on Dragon Island 2/3.
“Come out, Dratini, Tirtouga.”
Natsume released them back from the Poké Balls.
He first quickly healed Tirtouga’s injuries.
Once Tirtouga was restored, it immediately displayed a wary expression.
“Tirtouga!”
Tirtouga opened its mouth and attempted to bite Natsume.
However, this Tirtouga found that it couldn't move its mouth at all.
Natsume smiled at it and said, “You can't go around biting people.”
Suddenly, Tirtouga realized it could move again.
It quickly backed away, maintaining some distance from Natsume.
At this moment, Natsume wasn't in a hurry to connect with Tirtouga.
He turned to Dratini and asked, “How does it feel to be in the Poké Ball?”
“Dratini~”
Dratini thought entering the Poké Ball was like snuggling in a cozy nest; it felt very comfortable and wanted to sleep.
“I’m glad you like it.”
Natsume scanned the surrounding Dragonites once more.
Their levels were all quite high, mostly around level sixty.
That level certainly wasn’t low, but the leader of Dragon Island was likely even stronger.
“Dratini, do you know where the leader of Dragon Island is?”
