Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

Seeing Kirlia's obvious surge in strength and the completely different aura of the Pokémon, all the Pokémon present had burning eyes and were eager to try their luck, and they all crowded around.

Fangzhou looked at this group of guys who were blinded by power and sighed helplessly.

He raised his hands and pressed them down to signal everyone to be quiet, then explained the effects of the special strawberry.

"So the risk is very high, and this condition is permanent and cannot be removed at present. Are you sure you still want it?"

Immediately, the other Pokémon fell silent.

There is only a one in six chance of raising the correct racial stat, and a one in six chance of lowering unwanted abilities.

To achieve such a perfect upgrade as Kirlia, the probability is only one in thirty-six!

No, no.

Let's play it safe and not touch it.

However, at this moment, the tropical dragon took another step forward, "Ao Si~"

"Do you still want to try?"

Fangzhou was somewhat surprised, not realizing that the tropical dragon was so obsessed with pursuing strength.

I hadn't noticed before that it was so eager for power.

In the manor, the only thing he knew that Chimchar was particularly concerned about strength, because it needed to quickly increase its strength to eliminate the negative effects of the legendary Pokémon's blessing.

But what was the purpose of tropical dragons?

"Ao Si~" The tropical dragon looked longingly at the vast sky and flapped its wings.

It heard the conversation between Ark and Dr. Birch that day.

The Wind Festival competition!

Let's see who flies the fastest.

But as the only Pokémon in the manor, it knew that it wasn't fast, and couldn't even keep up with the speed of the Swellows under the eaves.

So when Fangzhou heard about the competition that day, he looked dejected.

I must have disappointed him.

Tropical dragons dislike disappointing others.

In the Elf House, Ark chose itself from among so many mount Pokémon.

Bringing it to the manor allowed it to begin a new dragon life, where it made many friends and even gained two lazy but very interesting gecko brothers, making its life suddenly more colorful.

After arriving at the manor, its hatred for humans and the painful emotions it had previously experienced gradually disappeared.

It turned into enjoying a new life, into farming, playing, and exploring the wild with other Pokémon.

It loves the Ark and the manor.

Kirlia and Dustmoth have helped Ark shine at the Textile Festival, winning first place.

As the first Pokémon to have a Manor position, and one of only three Pokémon to have one, the other two have both won first place during festivals, leaving only the first one.

This year's Wind Festival also aims to help Ark win first place.

Health, Attack, Special Attack, Physical Defense, Special Defense, Speed.

It would accept any reduction in any of its other five stats, as long as it could increase its Speed ​​stat.

Sensing the tropical dragon's unwavering resolve, Ark smiled helplessly. "Alright, since you've already made your decision."

He respects the decisions of every Pokémon.

The tropical dragon walked forward step by step and ate the strawberry in Ark's hand in one bite.

It tastes sweet and sour, not much different from the strawberries I've eaten before.

The next moment, a warm, comforting power rose from my stomach without warning, and then, like a flood bursting its banks, rushed swiftly and forcefully to my limbs and bones.

This feeling... is so wonderful!

I feel a surge of power throughout my body!

Seeing the same dazzling light as Kirlia appear on the massive body of the Tropical Dragon, Ark knew that the effect had been activated and quickly opened the Tropical Dragon's panel to check.

【Sprite: Tropical Dragon (Strawberry's Blessing)】

[Gender: Female]

【Characteristic: Harvest】

[Growth Stage: Elite Level]

[Skills: Dragon Dance, Leaf Blade, Wide-Area Defense, Air Blade, Sweet Scent...]

【Intimacy Level: 80 (Loves Ark, Loves Manor)】

[Mood: -30 (Something's wrong, nine out of ten things are wrong! I think I lost my bet, sob sob~)]

[Strawberry's Blessing: After a Tropical Dragon eats a strawberry, its Speed ​​stat decreases by 26 points, while its Special Attack stat increases by 72 points]

broken!

With its Special Attack doubled and combined with Tropius's move pool, it becomes a true long-range cannon, and its base stats surge by 46 points, bringing its total to over 500.

This should have been fantastic news, but instead it slowed down the speed at which it most wanted to improve!

This makes things even worse; the base speed stat was already only 51, and now it's down to just 25.

In the entire Pokédex, my Tropius ranks near the bottom, only behind Geodude and Shuckle, which only have a handful of Pokémon.

sad!

The tropical dragon itself clearly felt the changes in its body.

That surging power was mainly concentrated in the area where it sensed natural energy, which enhanced its special attacks.

However, the limbs, especially the huge wings, seemed to be bound by invisible shackles, becoming heavier and more difficult to move than before.

It tried flapping its wings and clearly felt that it was much more strenuous than before eating the strawberries.

The tropical dragon froze on the spot, stunned for a few seconds.

Then, without saying a word, she silently turned around, intending to leave this place of sorrow.

I lost the bet, sob sob~

"Hey! Don't go, tropical dragon!" Fangzhou quickly ran up and stopped him.

"Shredding, shredding~"

The tropical dragon's huge head suddenly plunged into Ark's arms, rubbing against him like a 100kg child who had suffered a great injustice, making sad whimpering sounds.

It wants to participate in the competition!

It wants to help the manor win first place!

The tropical dragon raised its head and looked at the ark with teary eyes.

Could you talk to the mayor and change the rules so that whoever flies the slowest wins?

Fangzhou was both amused and exasperated, and patted the large wings on its back.

"Don't worry, Tropical Dragon, if you want to participate in the Wind Festival competition, I already have an idea."

Fang Zhou paused for a moment, then continued, "A decrease in speed is actually a good thing."

With a struggle, the tropical dragon freed its head from Fang Zhou's arms and looked at him in confusion.

Good news?

Is Ark so devastated by the blow that it's lost its mind?

"Tropical Dragon, there's a move that can help you called Trick Room. Inside Trick Room, slower Pokémon become faster, and faster Pokémon become slower."

Kirlia can master it, but it requires a TM, which is very rare.

Of course, some Pokémon learn this skill from others through various opportunities in the wild, but the safest approach is to find a Pokémon that is born with the skill.

Fangzhou couldn't help but recall what he had seen on TV a few days ago: someone had witnessed the appearance of a Polygon B in the Orange Blossom Forest.

"Let's go to Petalburg Woods and find a Pokémon called Porygon Type B."

It is an extremely rare Pokémon that comes with a Trick Room right from birth.
