It was rare to hear the name of someone he knew in this strange and distant era, which made Draconis feel an urge to meet the other person.
But after calming down, Draconis realized that this was a very difficult thing to achieve.
Not to mention whether they could find Aaron, just crossing the sea stopped them.
"Your Highness doesn't need to worry. Perhaps the Beast Master will visit the royal city again in the future," Alfred comforted him.
Draconis, however, felt that the possibility was small. As far as he knew, the Kanto region where the Rota Kingdom was located was also plagued by constant wars. Aaron would stay there to help Queen Lin En and find a way to stop the war.
But it didn't matter. Later, when Dratini evolved into Dragonite, he would secretly ride Dragonite to Rota City for a look.
He would see Aaron, and while he was at it, experience the Tree of the Beginning, and perhaps even encounter Mew.
"Prince Draconis! Prince Draconis!"
At this moment, Ryan's voice came from not far away.
Draconis looked back and saw him running over, holding an injured and unconscious Pokémon in his arms.
When he clearly saw the appearance of that Pokémon, Draconis was stunned.
Is that... Snivy?
However, compared to the way he had seen it before, the current Snivy could be described as extremely disheveled.
Its eyes were tightly closed, and its body was covered with gruesome claw marks, looking incredibly shocking.
Draconis frowned.
Ryan said, "We just found this Pokémon in a bush during our patrol around the territory. It was lying in the snow, unconscious. Ban said you knew it, so I brought it back!"
Ban was a member of the Knights Order. He was also present when Draconis tried to approach Snivy before.
Draconis nodded, hummed, and said, "Give it to me."
"Yes!"
Ryan brought Snivy over.
Draconis carefully checked Snivy's injuries, and then took it to the physician Lila.
"Your Highness, what is this?" Lila was stunned as she looked at the unconscious little Pokémon.
"A Pokémon Ryan brought back from outside. Lila, I need Potion and a frostbite medicine." Draconis placed Snivy on the bed.
"Yes!"
Lila got up and handed over two bottles of medicine from the shelf.
Draconis helped Snivy up, first treating its injuries with Potion, and then feeding the frostbite medicine into its mouth.
This bottle of Potion was formulated with the Energy Root Anna had gathered earlier. The moment the liquid was fed into Snivy's mouth, the wounds on its body immediately began to heal at a visible speed.
The frostbite bruises also slowly began to dissipate.
Before long, Draconis saw Snivy's eyelids twitch, as if it was about to wake up.
"Snivy..."
A low murmur came from Snivy's mouth.
Its consciousness gradually awakened. At first, Snivy hadn't realized the current situation.
Its memory still lingered on last night.
At that time, it had intended to find a nest to hide from the approaching Blizzard, but unexpectedly, it encountered a group of Sneasel ambushing and hunting it halfway through.
After a desperate struggle with them, Snivy was severely injured, but fortunately, its body was relatively agile. Relying on the moves Vine Whip and Grass Knot, it successfully escaped.
To escape, Snivy paid a heavy price. It was severely injured, and with its own strength alone, it couldn't find herbs.
At that time, for some reason, Snivy suddenly recalled what happened to the group of Minccino that day.
The humans who broke into their home and destroyed the trees they relied on for survival did not harm them, but instead showed a very friendly attitude towards them.
Snivy didn't want to die, so, to find that glimmer of a chance to live, it worked hard to cross the forest, rushing to the humans' territory in the vast snow.
But in the end, it still collapsed in the snow from exhaustion.
Now it was awake, so was it rescued by those humans?
Thinking this, Snivy slowly opened its eyes.
The next second, it saw a familiar face.
Snivy was slightly startled.
"Awake?" Draconis said with a smile, "We meet again, Snivy."
"Snivy..."
"Although I don't know what you encountered, looking at your injuries, it must have been a very bad thing," Draconis said.
"Snivy." Snivy's mind recalled what happened last night, and its expression turned cold.
If those Sneasel hadn't attacked it sneakily from the shadows, with its strength, they would not have been its opponents at all.
Draconis observed Snivy's reaction. Seeing its expression, he presumed it had engaged in a fierce battle with some wild Pokémon last night.
Although he didn't know the outcome, judging by Snivy's injuries, that battle must have been extremely brutal.
The thought that Snivy might have lost its home due to their arrival, thus trespassing into other Pokémon's territory, being attacked, and seriously injured, made Draconis feel a bit guilty.
He looked at the Snivy in front of him, straightened his expression, and said again, "I'm very sorry, Snivy."
"Snivy?" Snivy was slightly startled, then came back to its senses and looked up at the human in front of it.
"Because of us, you lost the home you rely on for survival, and I am very sorry for that. The Blizzard is coming, and the temperature will soon become very cold. At that time, it will be very difficult to find food outside."
"So, consider my previous suggestion? Spend this winter with all of us, and the Minccino, in this place. I will provide you with food and shelter."
"When spring comes next year, I will help you rebuild a Berry fields to serve as your new home."
Draconis's expression was serious, and his tone was sincere.
Pokémon's perceptions are always very keen, especially Pokémon like Snivy, which possess a high degree of intelligence and are known for their calmness.
It stared into Draconis's eyes for a long time.
This human in front of it truly felt guilty and wanted to compensate them in this way... A moment later, Snivy turned its head away, not looking at Draconis.
"Snivy."
"Then, welcome to the team, Snivy," Draconis said with a smile.
At the same time, Draconis received a notification that the number of Pokémon citizens in his territory had changed from 18 to 19.
And in front of him, the data information of this Snivy appeared.
