Hearing this, Draconis glanced at his territory panel.
With the arrival of this group of people, the number of citizens on it also changed.
Human Commoners increased from 299 to 1151.
Pokémon citizens increased from 123 to 273.
Draconis's mind stirred, and he immediately opened the detailed panel for Pokémon citizens, checking which Pokémon were among the newly joined group.
Tepig, Watchog, Elekid, Drilbur, Flareon, Sandshrew, Lickitung, Machop, Machoke, Conkeldurr—
The types were numerous and varied; just looking at them made Draconis feel a bit dizzy.
"There's even Tepig, a starter Pokémon of the Fire-type from the Unova region—" Draconis couldn't help but be surprised.
But from the perspective of humans in this era, Tepig was nothing more than a fire-breathing pig monster, at most useful for starting a fire to cook.
The addition of so many Slave Pokémon was also a problem.
Draconis immediately fell into contemplation.
Pokémon like Machop and Machoke were fine; the territory could employ them to help with work, but Pokémon like Lickitung and Seviper currently didn't have much use.
Moreover, as Draconis knew, not all Pokémon liked living with humans; some still preferred to stay in the wild.
In that case, a wild nature reserve could be established around the territory for those Pokémon unwilling to stay in the City.
As for the food and seeds sent by the Old King, they provided great help; with more types of crop seeds, the variety of food they could eat would also be richer.
Besides these, Draconis also noticed that there were still many skilled professionals among this group of people.
Such as miners, blacksmiths, carpenters, scholars, etc., these people could also play a significant role.
After a moment of contemplation, Draconis nodded and said, "I understand. You must be tired from the long journey, Alfred. Arrange for them to rest. We'll discuss the rest tomorrow."
"Yes!" Alfred nodded.
"Also, please tell Gerolt that the newly arrived knights will be under his charge," Draconis added.
"Understood, Third Prince Draconis."
Alfred responded, then turned to Lorraine and said, "Please follow me!"
Lorraine nodded and followed him out of the town hall.
Victini had just finished its small cookie. He contentedly rubbed his bulging belly, looking very pleased.
Draconis watched this scene, and Victini's detailed information simultaneously appeared in his mind.
[Pokémon: Victini]
[Type: Psychic, Fire]
[Gender: Genderless]
[Ability: Victory Star]
[Moves: Confusion, Quick Attack, Focus Energy, Flamethrower, Incinerate, Endure, Headbutt, Flame Charge, Reversal, Flame Burst, Zen Headbutt, Inferno, Stored Power, Flamethrower, Psychic, V-create]
[Friendship: 90]
[Pokémon Life History: Omitted.]
"Hiss!" Looking at Victini's panel, Draconis couldn't help but gasp, "What a luxurious move panel!"
However, this also meant that this Victini was very strong.
"Nini—"
After eating his fill, Victini couldn't help but yawn.
He had traveled a long distance and had barely rested well. Now, suddenly relaxed, he immediately felt a deep fatigue wash over him.
Draconis naturally understood this point.
He said with some concern, "If you're tired, just sleep here for a bit! Once I'm done, I'll take you home."
"Nini ~"
Victini yawned, then landed on a cushion next to Draconis's desk, rested his head on his arm, and slowly closed his eyes.
That cushion was originally prepared by Draconis for Dratini, but ever since Dratini evolved into Dragonair, it became too big to use.
Draconis watched Victini fall asleep, then opened the citizen panel to check the status of these human Commoners.
However, the Unova region's prototype seemed to be America, which led to most of the names here being exotic foreign names.
Looking around, what caught his eye were various "Jenny," "Jason," "Frank," which made Draconis dizzy.
And just then, Draconis suddenly saw two familiar names among that large pile of names.
Joy Rin and Joy Alia.
Joy—
Draconis was slightly stunned. Was it the Joy he knew?
[Commoner Name: Joy Alia]
[Age: 17 years old]
[Occupation: None]
[Special Abilities: None]
[Loyalty: 0]
[Life History: In kingdom calendar year 132, Joy Alia was born with her elder sister, Joy Rin.]
[In kingdom calendar year 143, the sisters were driven out of the village because their identical faces to their mother led villagers to believe they were cursed and inauspicious.]
[In kingdom calendar year 148, Joy Alia and her sister wandered to Eindoak and were sent to prison for stealing bread.]
[In kingdom calendar year 149, she was treated as a Slave and traveled with the main group to the territory of Third Prince Draconis.]
These are the Joy sisters?
Draconis was initially a bit skeptical, but upon seeing their identical appearances, he immediately confirmed that these two Joys were the Nurse Joy from the anime who worked in Pokémon Centers!
The Joy family was famous for everyone looking identical and being difficult to distinguish.
However, in this era, people seemed to have some misunderstanding about Joy?
Inauspicious people, cursed people—
Draconis couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
Perhaps he could establish a "Pokémon Center" and have these two Joys work there?
"No, not yet."
Although their names were Joy, they did not possess the skills to treat Pokémon like Nurse Joy in the anime.
Never mind, I'll just get to know this pair of sisters first!
If they proved to be good people, Draconis planned to have them study medicine with Lila, and then take up positions at the Pokémon Center.
This way, if the number of Trainers in the territory increased in the future, there would be no worries about not having a place to treat Pokémon.
Thinking of this, Draconis got up and walked to the window, looking out at the street through the gaps in the blinds.
Gerolt, Alfred, and others began to arrange housing for the newly joined people and Pokémon in the territory.
Human figures could be seen everywhere in the City; the arrival of these people injected unprecedented vitality into this territory, and the entire City became incredibly lively.
There were still many things for Draconis to do, but for now, he decided to put aside his work and take Victini home first.
Victini seemed utterly exhausted. Draconis picked him up from the cushion, and he didn't wake up, still sound asleep.
Draconis carried Victini all the way back to his residence.
Opening the door, when Dragonair and Larvesta saw the figure in Draconis's arms, they immediately gathered around, looking at Victini soundly sleeping on the bed.
"Woo?"
"He's Victini, Dragonair, you should have seen him before," Draconis said.
Hearing Draconis say this, Dragonair immediately remembered seeing him in the Royal City when it was still a Dratini.
"Victini came from a very, very distant place to help us," Draconis softly told his Pokémon. "You all should get along well with him."
