If he were a Pokemon, he would definitely choose that tree hole to be his nest!
Because inside that tree hole, there's a fluffy blanket that looks both safe and comfortable.
After touring the dormitory, Naoki went outside again.
These buildings are arranged in a ring around this open space, and at the center lies a Pokemon Park, complete with benches, street lamps, and a fountain.
Paths connect the facilities and the park, forming a cohesive whole.
However, what attracted Naoki the most was the Exploration Team Guild Headquarters located at the center.
It's grand and spacious. As soon as you step inside, you see a request board, where in the future you can post your own requests to seek the help of other Pokemon.
It's just that Pokemon can't read...
But with Phone Rotom, it shouldn't be a problem either.
Naoki began pondering on ordering a batch of Rotom Phones.
At this moment, the Pokemon originally dwelling on this level also noticed the scene over here.
Soon, a large group of Pokemon curiously ran over.
Treecko, Tatsugiri, Tropius, Arboliva, Milotic...
Arriving here on Tropius, Tatsugiri immediately noticed the sushi shop, as the pattern on the shop's sign is almost identical to them!
"Mi?" Tatsugiri looked at Naoki, seemingly asking what that place was.
Naoki replied, "That's a sushi shop."
"Mi?!"
Hearing this, Tatsugiri was very delighted.
They immediately hopped over to it, jumping around the shop's counter.
Naoki followed them inside.
Looking around, there was a kitchen, a counter, and tables and chairs for customers to dine in.
Ingredients for making sushi require seaweed, rice, carrots, cucumbers, and so on.
Nori for seaweed can be found in the waters around the lower Dragonite Island, and rice, carrots, and cucumbers can be grown through planting.
Next, all that's needed is to hire some Pokemon staff and teach Pokemon how to plant crops and process ingredients, and the sushi shop can officially start operating.
But can Pokemon really plant wheat themselves and then process it into rice?
Moreover, for the continuous development of the sushi shop, Pokemon must also learn about seed preservation and seedling cultivation.
Naoki couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Besides these, he also has to teach Pokemon how to make sushi, how to clean dishes, just thinking about it feels so difficult!
Making sushi requires Pokemon with hands who are also meticulous and clever, and cleaning dishes requires Water Type Pokemon.
All aspects rely on the help of Pokemon. In short, there just aren't enough hands on the World Tree right now!
The few Pokemon here simply can't support the operation of the entire Exploration Team Guild.
Fortunately, the World Tree here will soon welcome a group of new residents to bolster the workforce.
Charizard, Ninetales, and Rapidash can help with lighting fires; Blastoise and Golduck can use Water Gun to clean dishes; Venusaur and Skiddo can cultivate crops.
Sandslash, Patrat, and Mudbray can dig and till the fields.
Pikachu and Mareep can help generate electricity, providing power for the guild.
And Arboliva can provide everyone with fresh and tasty olive oil.
Oh right, there's also Wigglytuff!
Naoki remembers there's a Wigglytuff in Mewtwo's team!
He thought of the game "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time" where Wigglytuff is the guild master.
Perhaps he could replicate that and have that Wigglytuff serve as the guild master.
Naoki: "..."
It really feels like a real-life playhouse.
Alright, Keri wasn't wrong at all; he just wants to play house with the Pokemon.
However, while imagination is beautiful, reality is unknown.
All of this has to wait until Mewtwo and the group of Pokemon arrive to be discussed further.
But with Mewtwo's flying speed, they should be able to reach the ranch by noon tomorrow, right?
Before they arrive, Naoki still has some things to prepare.
The next morning, after finishing the work on the ranch, Naoki drove to the town.
He constantly shuttled through the streets, going in and out of various shops, only finishing purchasing what he wanted near noon.
There were various types of crop seeds, saplings of various fruit trees, pots, pans, blankets, mats, quilts, clocks, large power generation equipment, various processing machines, and more.
Keri has already established a mill next to the food barn, where Pokemon just need to put the harvested wheat in to get a heap of flour.
Then with an oven, these ready doughs can be baked into bread.
"Hmm, it seems that besides ordinary Pokemon, the World Tree needs some production-type Pokemon to join," Naoki thought to himself.
Like Garganacl, Shuckle, Miltank, Alcremie, and Combee kind of Pokemon.
Shuckle, also known as an automatic juicer, just requires handing over berries to it, and Shuckle will help brew a magical Berry Juice with restorative effects.
A sticky liquid is secreted from Shuckle, and if this liquid mixes with the Berry Juice, the brewed juice has a better effect than regular Berry Juice.
While pondering, the Rotom Phone suddenly rang.
Naoki glanced down and saw a message from Calyrex, saying Mewtwo and the others had already arrived at the ranch.
What incredible speed, truly befitting Mewtwo!
After a brief moment of amazement, Naoki started the car and began the journey back to the ranch with a cargo full of goods.
Ten minutes later, the pickup truck stopped on the grassy field of the ranch.
Naoki hadn't even gotten out of the car when he saw Mewtwo, touted as the strongest Pokemon in history, in the not-so-distant area.
Behind Mewtwo stood a large group of Pokemon.
Pawmot, Cyclizar, Koraidon, Gogoat, Garganacl, Alcremie, and Eevees all gathered around, curiously watching the Pokemon who had come to the ranch.
And facing Naoki's group of Pokemon.
The cloned Pokemon and those hurt by humans seemed a bit uneasy.
Mewtwo, however, remained much calmer.
Upon seeing Naoki get out of the car, its gaze followed and turned towards him.
