In the past few days, countless Dragon-type Pokémon gathered in Dragonite Leader's cave. They all knew from Dragonite Leader that a great benefit awaited them.
Dragon-type Pokémon could exchange items they didn't need for gems, and they could also come to see a doctor.
Qingwu achieved three things with this move.
He exchanged the Dragon-type Pokémon's useless items for the cheapest gems, acquiring a large amount of resources from the Dragon-type Pokémon.
He pleased the Dragonite Leader couple and established his reputation.
Through treatment, he befriended some highly respected Dragon-type Pokémon and gained the goodwill of the Dragon Race.
Indeed, knowledge is the greatest wealth. Qingwu's trip to Dragon Island brought him a large amount of resources through bartering.
When individual Dragon-type Pokémon had no money and tried to strong-arm others, they would be taught a lesson by Dragonite Leader, along with other Dragon-type Pokémon.
If they had nothing, they could sell blood. Qingwu certainly welcomed as much blood from high-level Dragon-type Pokémon as possible.
The Dragon-type Pokémon felt they got a great bargain because the amount of blood Qingwu took was less than what they would lose during a fight.
So, for a while, the trend of fighting among Dragon Island Pokémon suddenly decreased. That was raw gems, which even Qingwu hadn't expected.
Now, Qingwu's face became a credential in any part of Dragon Island, and numerous Dragon-type Pokémon welcomed him warmly.
Qingwu also successfully transitioned from swiping a "card" (Dragonite Leader's scale) to swiping his face.
One couldn't help but marvel at the rapid progress of technology.
Some Dragon-type Pokémon even instigated some newly hatched Dragon-type babies, who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, to come and act cute for more benefits.
Among them was a Bagon with excellent aptitude.
Pokémon: Bagon (Dark Cyan Aptitude)
Gender: Male
Level: 5
Type: Dragon-type
Ability: Rock Head.
Basic Moves: Rage, Headbutt, Leer, Head Smash
Egg Moves: Dragon Rush, Thrash.
TMs/TRs: Dragon Dance, Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt.
Bagon's body is blue, its teeth protrude, and it has a hard skull.
In addition, it has two small arms. Because its hands are very small, Bagon usually stands and walks on two feet. To one day soar through the sky, Bagon jumps off cliffs every day, persisting in training its body.
Bagon does not gather in groups and prefers to live alone. Its head is very hard; with a single forceful impact, it can split a hard rock in half.
Therefore, Bagon also has the nickname "Rampage Dragon." When in front of Bagon, one should never mention the word "fly," and it's best not to have Flying-type Pokémon appear.
Once Bagon is provoked, it will go berserk and smash everything around it with its hard skull.
Although this Bagon was extremely excellent, Qingwu reluctantly refused it.
After all, the two Dragon-type Pokémon he wanted to take with him were already chosen: Swablu and Dratini.
If Qingwu had encountered Bagon at the beginning, Qingwu would have shamelessly chosen it.
Bonds were Qingwu's ultimate choice. What a pity, there was simply no fate between them.
Bagon is also a Pseudo-legendary Pokémon unique to the Hoenn Region. Small groups are distributed in Meteor Falls, so if Qingwu wanted to search, he should still be able to find one or two.
However, the aptitude of those Bagon could not be guaranteed. Although it was a misplaced affection, Qingwu still had a special fondness for this Bagon.
Qingwu made many Pokéblocks for Bagon and, after getting Wartortle's permission, placed the Pokéblocks in Wartortle's small backpack.
Qingwu gave these Pokéblocks to Bagon and made a flying tool for Bagon using a propeller from a Diving machine.
Bagon soared through the sky for the first time, happily laughing with cackling sounds.
The blue sky and the vast sea, as well as the birds in the sky and the fish swimming, showed Bagon a different kind of scenery.
Bagon's little head recorded all these novel sights in its mind, unforgettable.
Bagon's father was a powerful Salamence, and also the leader of the Salamence clan.
Seeing his beloved child fly freely and effortlessly in the sky, Salamence couldn't help but remember his own childhood.
The entire exchange lasted for half a month, and the moon in the sky changed from a crescent to a full moon.
Tomorrow night was the start of the Dragon Festival. Qingwu learned from the female Dragonite that the Dragon Festival only happens once a year.
Qingwu was quite lucky to have coincidentally encountered the Dragon Festival. After the Dragon Festival, the selected "imprisoned spirits" would participate in a trial.
If the trial succeeded, one could take a Dragon-type Pokémon away. But if the trial failed, it meant that there was no fate between you and the Dragon-type Pokémon. The female Dragonite had seen many trainers with excellent aptitude fail in the trial, ultimately having their memories of Dragon Island erased.
Only trainers who passed the trial were allowed to retain memories of Dragon Island's location.
Moreover, trainers who passed the trial could only return to Dragon Island once a year, during the Dragon Festival, as a witness.
Since only Qingwu had passed the Whirlpool this year, only Qingwu would participate in this Dragon Trial.
The Dragon Trial was an opportunity for powerful Dragon-type Pokémon and trainers to choose each other.
The Dragon-type Pokémon would choose the most outstanding offspring from their clan for the trainer to select.
Since Qingwu already had a Swablu, he only had one more slot for a Dragon-type Pokémon.
If nothing unexpected happened, Qingwu would choose Dratini, as it was a bond from his previous life.
In the past few days, the Dragonite Leader couple had observed Dratini's interactions with Qingwu. Qingwu and Dratini shared a bond spanning two lifetimes.
From the previous life to this one.
The Dragonite Leader couple understood that their child would not stay.
So, they decided to offer Dratini as the Pokémon provided by the Dragonite clan for this Dragon Trial.
Dragonite Leader wished Dratini would leave quickly to avoid disturbing their alone time.
Only the female Dragonite looked at her playful and lovely child with deep affection. Although reluctant, she still respected Dratini's final choice.
Qingwu would surely treat her child well, but finally, this playful and lovely child was leaving.
The female Dragonite scattered flowers, ??｀(▽)/?, this little brat had severely disturbed her dragon sleep these past few days.
After the little one left the island, she could finally lie down and sleep peacefully for several months.
The female Dragonite looked at the gems spread all over the ground.
The female Dragonite had finally collected enough gems to comfortably sleep on Tianquan's gem bed.
Just thinking about it made the female Dragonite a little excited, and she almost drooled.
Dragonite Leader also didn't expect that his unused items could be exchanged for so many gems, and as an experienced middleman and bodyguard.
Dragonite Leader collected a mountain of gems. This might be the peak of its dragon life.
Only Gastly was quite pitiful; it dug Netherite Ore and gems day and night, even unearthing a Netherite Ore Heart.
Crobat felt somewhat relieved that it was finally no longer a "tool dragon."
When Qingwu discovered that Gastly was more suitable, Gastly literally became a "tool Gastly."
It was precisely because of Gastly's efforts that Qingwu had enough gems to trade with the Dragon-type Pokémon.
However, Crobat was also thrown out of the cave by Qingwu to train in the nearly Level 13 strong winds on the mountaintop.
Wartortle, Mudkip, and Tatsugiri were thrown into a Whirlpool by Qingwu for training.
He felt that Tatsugiri was more suited to comprehend in the Whirlpool, watching Wartortle comprehend Life Dew daily.
As long as Wartortle still had a breath, it could save lives.
Magmar and Torchic followed the Charizard clan to learn flame techniques.
Lairon was taken in by a Duraludon as a disciple to learn.
Lairon could also learn some Dragon-type moves, and Duraludon also taught Lairon Steel-type techniques.
Swablu, Deino, and Dratini were mentored by the Dragonite Leader couple.
Qingwu instructed Snivy to be able to use plucking leaves and scattering flowers can harm people, as Qingwu found that Snivy's Leaf Storm, although powerful, had not yet met his requirements. So he asked Snivy to use Razor Leaf on the rocks Lairon had formed.
After Razor Leaf became proficient, Qingwu asked Snivy to find a way to combine Leaf Storm and Razor Leaf.
This would not only increase the destructive power of Leaf Storm but also improve Snivy's skill combination techniques.
As for Ralts, Qingwu's requirement for Ralts was Levitation Meditation.
By applying its Psychic power to itself, maintaining a state of meditation and Psychic power at all times, Ralts could float in the air.
When Psychic power and meditation became Ralts's instinct, Ralts would become an extremely powerful Psychic-type Pokémon.
This was something Qingwu learned from Koihime's Psychic Secret Manual.
Finally, the day of the Dragon Festival arrived.
The Dragon Festival is a grand holiday for the Dragon Race; all Dragon-type Pokémon gather at the Great Hall.
They perform beautiful Dragon Dance, blessing the Dragon-type Pokémon to grow stronger and granting blessings to the newborns of the Dragon Race.
Besides Dragon-type Pokémon, Dragon-type Pokémon can also participate in this celebration.
A golden full moon hung high in the sky, casting its bright moonlight onto the earth, as gentle as a thin veil.
