"Get up!"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Raven smiled and shook his head.

"It's not that we have no chance at all."

what?
Upon hearing these words, everyone was slightly taken aback.

"That was bad news. Besides that, there's some good news."

Raven didn't keep them in suspense and continued talking.

"As far as I know, the war has not yet broken out; it is still only in the stage of recruiting soldiers. Moreover, even if it does break out, our current location is very remote, and it will probably take a long time for it to reach us."

This is the advantage of the Pokémon world being vast and sparsely populated.

“So, we still have time.” Raven glanced at everyone. “And the reason I called you all here today is for this.”

"Does Your Highness have any ideas?" Geralt asked after a moment's thought.

Raven nodded slightly, looked at everyone, and asked, "What are your thoughts on the power of magical beasts?"

"The power of a magical beast?" The knights present were all stunned.

For these well-trained warriors, the monsters, though terrifying, were not invincible.

Back in the royal city, their training courses included specific courses on Warcraft.

But compared to others, Ryan, who was the first to come into contact with Pokémon, had a different opinion.

"Your Highness Raven, I understand what you mean!" Ryan's eyes lit up: "We can use the power of magical beasts!"

Geralt fell into deep thought.

Hearing Ryan's words, Raven smiled and nodded: "That's right, to be honest, I plan to build a large army of monsters."

For example, each person can lead a team of Aggrons to form a brand new legion.

Aggron is a Pokémon that can learn many different types of moves.

For example, powerful moves like Flamethrower, Earthquake, Blizzard, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Rain Dance, Sandstorm, Rock Tomb, and Cannon.

It includes both weather-related moves and area-of-effect moves.

If these well-trained Aggrons were organized into an army, they would possess a certain fighting capability even when facing the human armies of his two older brothers.

Fifty Aggrons simultaneously unleashing Earthquake, Sandstorm, and Blizzard will bring a terrifying natural disaster to the entire battlefield.

"An army of Warcraft?"

However, upon hearing this, the knights in front of them showed expressions of shock.

Geralt, however, understood Raven's meaning.

"Does Your Highness mean that magical beasts should be trained in the same way that humans are trained?" he asked.

Raven nodded: "That's right. We'll all tame the same magical beasts, and I'll provide you with training methods, just like we train human soldiers."

"Unlike human soldiers, monsters can use all kinds of attacks, such as fire breath, beams, and even cause earthquakes."

At this point, Ryan immediately understood Raven's meaning.

The others also showed expressions of sudden realization.

"Geralt, this task is entrusted to you. I have already found suitable magical beasts for everyone."

After saying that, Raven handed Geralt the portrait of Cocodora drawn by Christina.

"This magical beast is called Cocodora. It likes to eat iron ore. If you can provide them with iron ore, you can immediately establish a good relationship with them."

"They live over there in the mines. You can find them there. Also, if one of them doesn't want to follow you, try another one. I need you to make them choose you from the bottom of their hearts and accept you, instead of just forcing and enslaving them with force. Do you understand?" Raven asked.

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

"In addition, the Knights can be expanded appropriately," Raven said. "Go, Geralt. If we don't have enough iron ore, we can get it from the mine."

Currently, there's no need for large quantities of iron ore in the territory. The batch of iron ore we collected earlier has been stored in considerable quantities, which will come in handy at this time. "Yes!" Geralt nodded, then led his group of knights away.

Raven felt that he didn't need to give any special explanation about this matter.

Geralt has a dual-axe war dragon by his side, and Ryan has a blasting ape by his side; they have experience in dealing with monsters.

Watching everyone leave, Raven couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He was now incredibly grateful that he hadn't chosen to go to Liyong, the territory the old king had arranged for him.

Otherwise, he would probably already be being watched by his older or younger brother.

Moreover, he couldn't possibly recruit soldiers in front of his elder brothers; otherwise, before the war even started, he would either be subdued or sacrificed on the spot.

Just then, Eriff returned.

He reported, "Your Highness, the deal with the merchants has been completed. After they leave this time, they will help me find livestock and magical beasts and bring them to us."

Upon hearing this, Raven leaned back in his chair and nodded, saying, "That's good."

The old butler's face betrayed his worry.

"Your Highness...I wonder how His Majesty is doing now..."

Raven recalled the relevant plot in the anime and said, "Father should be fine, after all, Victini is still by his side."

Moreover, his two older brothers were only a little extreme and probably wouldn't commit the cruel act of patricide.

Furthermore, the theatrical version clearly states that the old king died because he exhausted his strength while suppressing the runaway dragon vein beneath the royal city.

He should be fine before the dragon vein goes out of control.

However, the only one who is pitiful is Victini.

It was forced to be sealed within Eindooc, never to leave that place again.

"Sigh!" Elif sighed deeply. Hopefully!
Bictini is rather pitiful.

Raven couldn't help but start thinking about what he could do to help Victini.

However, after thinking for a long time, he realized that they were all struggling to survive, let alone help Bictini.

Even Raven couldn't help but sigh.

"Ugh!"

Seeing this, Elif turned around and comforted Raven.

"Your Highness, don't worry, His Majesty will definitely be alright."

Raven: "..."

*
At the same time, in the northern part of the kingdom.

A large army is slowly advancing towards the border of the kingdom.

Bictini stayed with a court lady-in-waiting, who was assigned by the old king to take care of it.

At this moment, Victini is chatting with Bean Dove, who is leading the way.

"Nini?" (DouDouGe, have you seen Raven? How is Raven doing now?)
Raven? What Raven? Forgetful Bean Pigeon had almost forgotten the name.

Should it have seen this before?

Upon seeing this, Bictini sensed something was wrong.

“Nini…”

Could this little bean pigeon have forgotten the route to Raven and the others?
With a worried look on its face, it asked, "...Nini?" (Do you remember the way back?)
Upon hearing this, Bean Dove let out a cry; of course it remembered! Its owner, Evan, was still there!
Hearing this answer, Victini finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nini—"

It gazed at the distant mountains and forests, its heart filled with anticipation.

Great, it will be able to see Raven soon!
