"Your name is Fuyuki, right?"
The photographer's noble and elegant voice suddenly resounded in Fuyuki's heart through telepathy.
"Yes…" Fuyuki looked up at the large bird in front of him. With Entei and the others gone, didn't that mean he would be alone with Ho-Oh for the rest of the time?
Ho-Oh is the most mysterious legendary Pokémon in the Pokémon world. Its strength is unknown. Although it has appeared many times, it has never revealed its strength to the public.
Fuyuki couldn't resist checking the strength of this Ho-Oh through the "Magic Candy" section of the system shop.
Although there is no concept of levels in the real world, the approximate strength of a Pokémon can be represented by its level by exchanging Rare Candies.
[Rare Candy (Ho-Oh Only): A rare candy used to level up Pokémon. Requires 82,000 Shock Points to exchange.]
Got it!
Eighty-two thousand...
This means that, if expressed in terms of levels, this Ho-Oh's level is around level 82!
In the Pokémon world where the maximum level is 100, this Ho-Oh's strength is definitely among the top tier.
A look of surprise couldn't help but appear on Fuyuki's face.
Ho-Oh keenly noticed the expression on the human cub's face.
Is he nervous? Ho-Oh wondered.
"No need to be nervous, I am Ho-Oh, a being who can bring happiness and good fortune to humankind." Ho-Oh tried to make his tone gentle.
More than 700 years ago, it established a friendship with humans in Ecruteak City and stayed for a long time on the tower built for it by humans.
During that time, Ho-Oh observed many humans up close.
Regarding how to care for human infants...
Ho-Oh's mind conjured up the image of a human mother holding her child in her arms.
The first step in raising a rainbow hero is to build a closer relationship with this human child.
Ho-Oh landed from the Rainbow Rock in front of Fuyuki, then bent down and said to Fuyuki:
"Come on, Fuyuki, come onto me! I'll show you some interesting things."
Fuyuki: "?"
Is Ho-Oh telling him to ride on it?!
Fuyuki's mouth dropped open in astonishment.
Although he didn't mind, but...
The Ho-Oh is nearly four meters tall, making him an absolute behemoth in his current state!
"Ho-Oh…" Fuyuki couldn't help but call out.
"This human cub called my name..." Ho-Oh narrowed his eyes slightly and said gently, "That's right, I am Ho-Oh."
"High!" Fuyuki tried to convey this to Ho-Oh: "I can't reach it!"
Ho-Oh, full of anticipation: "..."
It was this matter that it overlooked.
A blue light flashed in Ho-Oh's eyes, and the next second, a gentle psychic aura enveloped Fuyuki's small body, softly placing him on its back.
"Wow!" Fuyuki exclaimed in perfect unison, "That's amazing!"
The Ho-Oh let out a melodious cry, and the next second, it spread its wings and soared from the peak of Mount Tensei.
Toward the sky.
This was the first time in his life he had come to such a high place, and looking down at the land that was getting farther and farther away, Fuyuki's legs were trembling with nervousness.
They felt weak and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
That's so high... If he falls, he'll probably die instantly, right?
Hmm? This human cub seems to be scared?
Ho-Oh keenly sensed the emotions of the person on its back, and spoke gently through telepathy:
"Fuyuki, look ahead."
Fuyuki subconsciously shifted his gaze from the ground and looked ahead, following Ho-Oh's words.
A huge, magnificent rainbow stretched across the entire azure sky, and the distant sun shone with warm light.
Suddenly, fluffy white clouds appeared all around, creating a beautiful, fairytale-like scene.
painting.
"Wow!" Upon seeing such a beautiful sight, Fuyuki was instantly captivated.
"This world is beautiful, isn't it?" the Ho-Oh said softly.
"Hmm!" Fuyuki nodded blankly.
Ho-Oh smiled, uttering a beautiful, melodious sound, then slowed its pace, carrying the human infant on its back.
The little one began to roam this world.
As the sun began to set, fiery clouds swept across the entire sky.
As dusk settled, the Ho-Oh led the Fuyuki back to the Mount Tensei.
Fuyuki was very excited about today's experience.
But what excited him even more was that this Ho-Oh was so friendly and gentle towards him.
It was a completely different Pokémon from the photographer and shiny Finch he remembered.
Upon landing, Fuyuki sincerely said to Ho-Oh, "Thank you, Ho-Oh!"
The Ho-Oh smiled.
Then, it saw the human child in front of it magically produce a piece of fragrant milk that emitted an enticing aroma from somewhere.
Ho-Oh was slightly taken aback, and his gaze fell on the precious jade.
The next second, it saw the human cub in front of it holding the piece of bacon in both hands, stretching its tiptoes to bring it to its face.
"Give!"
Ho-Oh was taken aback: "This is... for me?"
"Mmm!" Fuyuki nodded gently and said with a smile, "Because Ho-Oh played with me for a long time today!"
At this moment, a feeling that was never before surged in Ho-Oh's heart.
This human cub.....
Its expression softened further, and it gently ate the delicious piece of bacon.
"Ho-Oh, come with me!" Fuyuki pulled Ho-Oh along, "It's getting dark, we should go home!"
"Home?" Ho-Oh was slightly taken aback again.
"Yes, this is my home with Entei, Marshadow, Raikou, and Suicune!" Fuyuki nodded.
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Ho-Oh couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.
It followed the human cub off the mountaintop, down the mountain path, and soon saw it ahead.
They found a cave with a gate installed.
A grove of fruit trees grew on the land next to the cave.
Upon seeing this, a look of surprise flashed in the Ho-Oh's eyes.
"This was planted by Raikou and me!" After spending most of the day with Ho-Oh, Fuyuki was no longer as unfamiliar or nervous about this Pokémon as she had been at the beginning.
Therefore, seeing that Ho-Oh was looking in that direction, he took the initiative to explain to it: "In that case, we won't need to go down to find food!"
As he spoke, a troubled expression appeared on Fuyuki's face again.
"Hmmm"
"However, sometimes the tree bears too many fruits, and the Entei and I can't finish them all, so they spoil..."
"To prevent the fruit from going to waste, Entei and I would later share it with the forest animals."
"Is that so?" Ho-Oh's gaze softened even more. It was right after all; this human cub was simply born to be its Rainbow Warrior.
Fuyuki stepped forward and pushed open the door, and Ho-Oh looked inside.
Surprisingly, it wasn't a cave inside, but a specially decorated, square-shaped place.
A secret space like a house built by humans.
The interior has a wooden floor, and a large rug on top of that. Sofas, tables, and chairs are placed around it.
Furniture like fireplaces looks very cozy.
"This is..." Upon seeing this, the Ho-Oh couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
"This is my home with Entei and the others!"
