Chapter 005: Core Area of the Family
As soon as Uncle Koi finished speaking, Long Ye looked on in astonishment as he drove out a hovering car from the villa's garage
After another ten minutes of travel, Longye finally saw a vast complex of buildings
"Are we going to take this?" Long Ye asked in surprise. Although he knew that the technology in the Pokémon world was quite advanced, with Meowth being able to create various kinds of robots, he had never seen anyone drive such a hover car in the animation! Could this be the legendary black technology?
Although Longye knew that the green caterpillar was weak, he did not expect that this particular green caterpillar would be eliminated so quickly. "It seems that I can clear out all the green caterpillars in this area," Longye thought shamelessly
The core area of the Fujiwara family? I have heard my father describe the Fujiwara family as so formidable, and this time I can finally witness it for myself. Here I come to see those rare little spirits. Although my father has already mentioned that those little spirits cannot be given to Longye at the moment, it is still good to take a look.
"Alright, it's just ahead," Uncle King Carp said, pointing to the large mountain in front.
"Well done, Scorpio." Longye encouraged his little sprite. This was the first battle of training between Longye and Scorpio, so Longye was being very cautious, even resorting to a sneak attack against a Caterpie.
Longye issued only one command to his King Carp, which was to continuously battle with other King Carps in the river. Winning or losing did not matter, as Longye could earn points regardless of the outcome.
The Grand Elder is an old man, the Second Elder is the middle-aged man who just spoke, the Third Elder is the only woman among the four, and the Fourth Elder appears to be about the same age as Fujihara Masakazu. Ryuuya greeted the four individuals respectively
... ...
As they walked along, everyone greeted the two individuals, and Long Ye continuously nodded in acknowledgment.
This hover car was developed by our family based on the hovering characteristics of the little sprites, and it has always been used internally within the family without any promotion. Longye, hurry up and get on, to reach the core area of the family, we must pass through those bushes and forests, and only this hover car is the most convenient for that
Haha, let's go
Longye took a seat in the hover car and found that it was not much different from an ordinary car. If it flew a little lower, it would be indistinguishable from a regular vehicle. However, this was just Longye's initial impression; once the hover car truly began to move, he immediately sensed the difference.
"Haven't you always wanted to see the Mini Dragon? The lake in front is where the Mini Dragons of the family live," said Fujiwara Masakazu, pointing at a lake before him.
The giant King Carp that Joy from the Orange Islands raised since childhood left a deep impression on Long Ye. A typical King Carp grows to about 1 meter in length, but that particular King Carp astonishingly reached an impressive length of 3 meters. After evolving into a Gyarados, it also maintained a colossal size
Longye had no intention of capturing the fallen Caterpie, as this little sprite was too weak. Evolving into a Butterfree and using various powders was quite good, but when Longye watched the animated version, the scene where Ash released Butterfree deeply moved him. To avoid experiencing such a poignant separation himself, Longye felt it was better not to have a Caterpie.
While Longye was intently observing, a small head suddenly emerged from the water. "It's a mini dragon, it's really so cute. Huh? This little fellow isn't even afraid of people!"
Although these mini dragons are free-range here, the clan members are not allowed to catch them at will. Only with the unanimous approval of the elders can one be assigned to them, and there are many family guards watching over the area around this lake. "Fujiwara Masakazu said as he approached Longye.
Do you see those several buildings? That is the place where the family conducts various research on props. The enclosed area over there is where the small spirit eggs are cultivated, and over there is the training hall... As they walked along, Fujiwara Masakazu continuously introduced the surrounding buildings to Ryuno. This vast area is practically a small town.
After making the appearance of Magikarp and Scyther reasonable, Longye began training these two Pokémon
Longye had never imagined that the core area of the Fujiwara family was actually inside the mountain. Looking at the magnificent mountain before him, Longye couldn't help but wonder if these people had hollowed out the entire mountain.
Through the car window, Longye noticed that there were many more guards in the courtyard here. The small sprites that used to appear in the grass, such as green caterpillars, were no longer present; instead, small sprites like Diglett and Nidoran began to increase in number
Compared to Kingler, Scorpius is much easier for Longye to manage. As a little sprite with a base stat of 430 without any evolution, Scorpius's strength satisfies Longye greatly
Is the Mini Dragon really that cute? Is Gira really 72 kg? These are questions that Longye is eager to find answers to
Long Ye boldly extended his finger to poke the Mini Dragon's nose, and the smooth, soft sensation felt wonderful. The Mini Dragon, startled by the sudden touch, sprayed a jet of water at Long Ye before retreating back into the lake
Greetings, Patriarch. Hello, Young Master
Pushing aside the Scorpio, Long Ye checked his points. At this moment, the data that was originally all zeros finally showed some change. After defeating the green caterpillar, Long Ye earned 20 points. Although the amount was small, considering the almost nonexistent combat power of the green caterpillar, Long Ye was quite satisfied with this result
Upon hearing his father's words, Longye immediately ran towards the lake. Upon arriving at the lakeside, Longye's first reaction was that the water was exceptionally clear. At a glance, there were indeed some blue figures faintly visible, which seemed to be the mini dragons his father had mentioned.
The green caterpillar merely fainted and was not poisoned, so after a while, it woke up and quickly escaped
Even with the clan leader Fujiwara Masakazu at the helm, Tatsuya still underwent various inspections. As they passed through the corridor filled with a modern atmosphere, Tatsuya, under his father's guidance, arrived at a hall where four individuals were already waiting for Fujiwara Masakazu and the others
Therefore, Longye is also preparing to cultivate his Magikarp to that size before allowing it to evolve. In recent days, Longye has been constantly acting cute to his mother in order to obtain a regular supply of calcium tablets from her. As a Pokémon that consists mainly of bones and scales, calcium tablets are absolutely essential for the growth of Magikarp.
Since the patriarch believes the time has come, let us begin, for every direct descendant must know this secret said the Grand Elder with a smile
"Come down, we have arrived at the core area of the family." Fujiwara Masakazu parked the hover car and said, "It is better not to take the car from here on; if we drive, we will have to go through many checks. Let us walk directly."
Is it true
"Patriarch, you have arrived. Young master, please take a seat," said a middle-aged man sitting at the edge.
Since that is the case, let us go now. Longye, I will show you what our Fujiwara family has guarded for generations
Originally, I was prepared to remind Scorpio to be cautious of the green caterpillar's counterattack, but Longye discovered that the green caterpillar on the ground had already transformed into a mosquito coil eye, and Scorpio delivered a fatal blow
After leaving Mini Longhu, Longye encountered many small spirits, all of which had evolved, such as Dunjia, Kuailong, and Banqila. Even the regional starter Pokémon were seen in abundance.
"Father, where are we actually going?" Longye asked after walking for a long time
It is said that there are two little sprites, but in fact, Longye is only training one, the Scyther. This is because Longye himself does not know how to train the Magikarp. According to his understanding, the skills that Magikarp can learn before evolving are limited to three: Splash, Tackle, and Struggle. Even using a TM does not seem to allow Magikarp to learn any other skills.
According to the elder, several elders who usually manage various family affairs reside in this mountain, and this mountain of inheritance is also the most important asset of the Fujiwara family. The elders live here to protect the treasures contained within this mountain
What is Ah Laodie, I am currently training my little sprite
Scorpion, use your venomous stingers on the green caterpillar. Following Longye's command, the scorpion hanging upside down from the tree immediately shot a barrage of purple stingers at a green caterpillar on the ground. Due to the element of surprise, the green caterpillar had no reaction and was struck by all the venomous stingers.
It seems that the Fujiwara family is indeed very formidable
Smoothness is the most direct sensation one experiences in Longye. If it weren't for the scenery outside the window continuously receding, one would hardly feel that it is in motion. The second sensation is speed; when traveling over the vast grasslands, there is no need to worry about colliding with anything, allowing the hover car to reach its utmost velocity
Father, let's hurry and leave
Fujiwara Masaka nodded slightly to four individuals, saying, "Longye, let me introduce you. These are the First Elder Fujiwara Jin, the Second Elder Fujiwara Yu, the Third Elder Fujiwara Qing, and the Fourth Elder Fujiwara Hansong."
There will be plenty of opportunities for training in the future, but today you will come with me. I want to take you to the core area of the family.
About half an hour later, the speed of the hover car gradually slowed down, and Fujihara Masakazu informed that they had arrived at the core area of the Tōno family
Although Longye did not command the Kingler in battle (after all, what is there to command with just three skills...), he still prepared other things for the Kingler
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have brought Longye here this time for two reasons: first, to help him understand the heritage of our Fujiwara family, and second, to discuss with all of you the trials he will face in the future." Fujihara Masakazu, who was seated in the middle of the four, began to speak
Hello, Longye, stop playing and come back quickly
Longye was quite curious about what could cause a prestigious family like the Fujiwara clan to be in such a state. Could it be a divine beast? Soon, Longye felt ashamed of such speculation.
Seeing the green caterpillar run away, the scorpion hanging upside down on the tree glided down towards Longye, and it goes without saying that Longye was once again subjected to an attack from a tongue. You are a scorpion, not a little sprite like the big tongue, so why do you always enjoy licking people
In fact, Longye finds it hard to understand that no matter how one looks at it, a Scorpio is still a flying scorpion. However, with both ground and flying attributes, it is unbelievable that a scorpion has no poison attribute
I am just taking a look, I never said I wanted to take one away. Long Ye stood up, feeling somewhat displeased
Greetings, Patriarch
For this reason, Longye allowed the Magikarp to move freely in the small river, as long as it did not escape from the courtyard. It is important to note that although Magikarp is a Pokémon with very poor abilities, Longye has his own plans. Even if it cannot compete with other Pokémon, it should at least be able to handle Magikarp itself.
Just as Longye was about to have the scorpion clear out all the green caterpillars in the courtyard, his father suddenly called him over
