"Contrary ability Snivy?"
At the first sight of this ability, Draconis's reaction was, wouldn't that mean it could infinitely spam Leaf Storm?
Contrary: Ability changes are reversed. What would normally increase will decrease, and what would normally decrease will increase.
Leaf Storm: Attacks enemies with a storm of sharp leaves, but its Special Attack sharply decreases afterwards due to recoil.
When these two are combined, they can produce some wonderful chemical reactions, reversing the negative side effect of Leaf Storm into a positive one.
Especially in this era where humans know nothing about Pokémon.
It's likely that no one would be able to figure out a way to deal with a Snivy that could infinitely spam Leaf Storm.
Moreover, Draconis was more concerned that this Snivy's strength was clearly greater than Dratini's.
Aside from Vine Whip, it also knew a move like Grass Knot.
More importantly, there was that major event that occurred at the end of its Pokémon life history.
It encountered an attack from five Sneasel and actually escaped… This Snivy's strength is extraordinary!
Draconis was a bit surprised, but he remained calm.
Because Snivy had only temporarily joined his territory and had not yet agreed to become his Pokémon, unlike Dratini.
After confirming that Snivy's injuries were not serious, Draconis prepared to take it home first to get acquainted with the area and introduce it to his territory.
But when Draconis tried to reach out and hug Snivy, it refused.
Thus, it turned into a scene where Draconis walked ahead, and Snivy silently followed behind.
"Snivy, this is where we live."
Draconis looked at the small wooden houses on the open ground around them, then began to introduce the place to Snivy.
"That river over there is where we usually fish for water. Some residents also wash clothes there. Oh, right, you probably haven't eaten fish before, have you? You should try it later. Whether it's steamed, made into fish soup, or grilled, it's all very delicious."
"Snivy…" Snivy looked at the wide river. It had indeed never eaten fish before and rarely came to this area.
At this moment, Snivy suddenly noticed that a patch of land ahead seemed a bit different from the other areas.
There were even three Snover gathered around the field, doing who knows what.
Snivy's attention was involuntarily drawn to that scene.
Draconis followed its gaze and then introduced, "That's the farmland we specially cultivated for planting. It's filled with many crop seeds. By next spring, these seeds will sprout and bear abundant fruit. Those Pokémon are Snover, and they are helping us tend to the crops in the fields."
Snover's method of caring for crops is very special. They first use Ingrain to extend a part of themselves underground, and then, through their roots, they release Grass-type energy to irrigate the seeds.
"By next year, we will also use this method to help you replant trees and build a Berry fields."
As he spoke, a noticeably larger wooden house appeared ahead.
Draconis stepped forward and pushed open the door. He turned to Snivy and said, "Alright, we're here. This is our home. For now, until the Blizzard passes, you'll stay with us here!"
As the wooden door was pushed open, Snivy immediately felt a rush of warm air.
It calmly looked inside and then saw several Minccino sweeping the floor with their tails on the carpet, as well as a Dratini curled up and sound asleep on a cushion.
Draconis walked into the house. The firewood from last night was almost gone, so he added a few more logs to the stone fireplace.
The fire, which was almost extinguished, quickly blazed up again, and the cold air that had blown in when the door opened was soon dispelled by the warmth.
So, so warm!
Snivy was a bit surprised.
At this moment, the Minccino and Dratini also noticed it.
They all gathered around Draconis, looking at it with curiosity.
"Minccino?"
Draconis introduced, "This is Snivy. Like all of you, it also used to live in the forest. For the time being, Snivy will also live with us."
The Minccino had no objections; instead, they cheered happily.
"Minccino!"
Seeing this, Draconis smiled.
It was morning now, and the snow outside had stopped. After settling Snivy, Draconis planned to continue training with Dratini.
"Snivy, Dratini and I are going to train. Your injuries have just healed, so stay here and rest well!" Draconis did not forget to remind him.
"Snivy." Snivy gently nodded.
Draconis smiled, then turned and left the house with Dratini.
Snivy watched from its spot for a long time, then it jumped to the window and ran out, much to the surprise of the Minccino.

Draconis's Cheat couldn't offer much help in training Pokémon.
Therefore, they could only adopt the simplest and most direct training method.
Draconis had people set up a special training area within the territory.
It was called a training area, but in reality, it was just a large open space with a thick log standing upright in the middle.
At this moment, under Draconis's command, Dratini continuously swung its tail, striking the log.
But because Dratini's current strength was limited, no matter what it did, it couldn't leave a mark on the log. Instead, many bruises appeared on its soft tail.
Draconis couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but he didn't call for a stop.
Because this was Dratini's only way to become stronger.
To grow into a powerful Pokémon, one must undergo rigorous training to strengthen its physique and transform every part of its body into a weapon.
Only then could it master Dragon Tail.
Fortunately, Dratini itself was diligent enough and didn't give up because of the pain.
Time passed minute by minute. Draconis calculated the number of times Dratini struck the log in his mind, and when he judged it was enough, he called for a stop at the right time.
"Rest for a bit, Dratini!"
"Woof!"
Dratini stopped its movements and curled up in Draconis's arms as usual.
Draconis sat on the log, took out a Potion, and gently applied it to the bruises on Dratini's tail, then gently massaged its tail to help relax its muscles and activate the stagnant blood.
"Alright, let's continue!"
After a short rest, it was time for energy training.
Although Dragonite, as a Pokémon, is more adept at physical attacks, special attack training cannot be neglected.
By training Twister, it could continuously improve its control over Dragon-type energy. Only by laying a good foundation now would it be easier to learn powerful moves like Dragon Pulse and Draco Meteor in the future.
And improving its proficiency with Thunder Wave might allow Dratini to learn more Electric-type moves, such as the relatively famous move: Thunderbolt.
Behind a large tree not far away, Snivy quietly watched the scene, its thoughts unknown.
