Soon, Dragonite came running over behind Indeedee brother.
It looked at Naoki with confusion: "Roar?"
Naoki cheerfully brought the six steaming buns in front of Dragonite: "Want to eat them all?"
Dragonite's nostrils flared; it smelled the buns but felt troubled because, as a Dragonite, it didn't like eating buns.
Seeing this, Naoki raised an eyebrow: "Don't you want to become the strongest Dragonite in the world? Eat them, and you can achieve your dream."
Dragonite, knowing Naoki's ability, immediately widened its eyes and looked over excitedly: "Roar?"
Naoki nodded: "Of course, this is a dish I made especially for you."
Hearing this, Dragonite hesitated no more. Regardless of the taste, it opened its mouth wide and swallowed the buns one by one.
When Dragonite finished the last bun, Naoki saw an undeniable stream of air emerging from its body.
The wind started blowing inside the house.
Naoki's eyelids twitched. He quickly pushed Dragonite outside: "Go outside!"
Once Dragonite stepped outside, the energy in its body exploded forth.
The originally clear sky was quickly covered by a thick, heavy cloud.
The commotion here immediately caught the attention of the other Pokemon on the pasture.
Five Dragonairs and two wild Dragonites flew over, eyes wide with shock at Dragonite's powerful aura.
Cyclizar sensed a strong presence, immediately ran over without looking back to watch.
Only Koraidon, with a flickering gaze, calmly looked up and then continued to nap on the grass.
At this moment, Naoki and a group of Pokemon made the same move.
They all looked up at the sky, gazing at the enormous cloud.
Dragonite, on the grass, also sensed the changes happening within its body.
Its eyes sparkled with excitement, recalling what Naoki once told it — Someday, the whole world will be covered by your rain!
Dragonite felt that it might really be able to achieve that now!
It decided to give it a try!
Dragonite let out a long roar to the sky and used its signature move, one it had practiced countless times and used every day—Rain Dance!
With a slight movement of Dragonite's mind,
the next second, light rain began to fall from the sky.
The gentle autumn rain immediately enveloped the entire pasture and extended further.
Dragonite still felt unsatisfied. It simply spread its wings, flew high into the sky, dancing fiercely in the rain while fully releasing the energy the magical buns had given it.
At the same time, the rain covered Porto Marinada Town, Casseroya Lake, Cascarrafa City,
and even the usually hot and dry Asado Desert began to rain.
Rain fell onto a Sandile lying in the yellow sand, acting as a predator waiting for prey to pass by its front.
The sudden coolness left this Sandile dazed in place; it looked up, its big black eyes filled with confusion.
In Porto Marinada Town, people and Pokemon walking on the streets hurried to take shelter under shop eaves from the rain.
A tardy office worker arrived under an eave, shook the water off his briefcase, and wondered:
"Strange, didn't the weather forecast say it would be partly cloudy to sunny today? Why did it suddenly start raining?"
He wasn't the only one finding it strange. At the same time, weather researchers at the Paldea Meteorological Station, located north of Cascarrafa City, west of the Giant Pit, stood under the institute's eaves, looking at the unusual heavy rain with bewilderment.
"What's going on? Machine malfunction?"
"No, doesn't seem like it. The rain came too strangely; one moment it was a sunny day, the next it rained, without any sign."
"This phenomenon, doesn't it seem like a Pokemon move?"
"Are you suggesting... Rain Dance?"
"Meteorological satellites detected rain in Cascarrafa City, Asado Desert, Porto Marinada Town, Casseroya Lake... the entire northwestern part of the Paldea Region is raining!"
Upon hearing this, the weather researchers were dumbfounded.
After a long while, someone finally exclaimed in shock, "Is this really caused by a Pokemon?"
The power required for such a Rain Dance must belong to an incredibly strong Pokemon!
Could it be a wild Legendary Pokemon has come to the Paldea Region?
Just like the incident on the Orange Archipelago not long ago, where the rampage of a few Legendary Pokemon caused worldwide weather changes.
Pokemon League.
Geeta, the current reigning champion of the Paldea Region, stood with hands behind her back by the window, looking up at the drizzle outside.
As an experienced Pokemon Trainer, Geeta keenly sensed the abnormality of this rain.
It's definitely not a normal weather change, but rather artificial, to be precise, caused by some unknown Pokemon.
Her fingers gently curled, and she looked pensive.
"I wonder what kind of Pokemon it is."
Geeta recalled that, to her memory, there aren't any Legendary Pokemon in the Paldea Region capable of affecting the weather.
This means the Pokemon causing this rain might very well have been brought to the Paldea Region by some mysterious trainer.
A trainer capable of breeding...capturing such a powerful Pokemon, is truly a talent!
"I wonder if the Paldea League could recruit them." Geeta thought subconsciously.
But she quickly realized her hypothesis hadn't been confirmed yet.
Geeta chuckled to herself, shaking her head. She closed the window and stopped paying attention.
If such a powerful trainer exists, then they will surely appear before the world one day, and she'll approach them then.

In the pasture.
Naoki and the other Pokemon, including Cyclizar, took shelter under the eaves, looking up at Dragonite in the sky.
"Is this the power of Lugia?" Naoki murmured to himself.
Lugia, known as the Sea God.
But this Sea God is different from the Sea God.
Unlike the embodiment of the ocean, Kyogre, who expands the sea, Lugia leans more towards controlling ocean currents and world weather.
It possesses the incredible power to calm the raging sea; it is said that when Lugia flaps its wings, it can cause a forty-day storm.
From these legendary records, Lugia's abilities are remarkable.
Airflow, weather, cyclones, hurricanes...
"Overall, the storm bun's effect exceeded my expectations," Naoki concluded internally. "It also fulfilled one of Dragonite's wishes."
Watching the endless rain, Naoki raised an eyebrow.
It seems that he wasn't lying to Dragonite when he said those words before?
Naoki reflected with sentiment. When he looked up in search of Dragonite in the sky, he suddenly found it had disappeared.
Naoki was slightly stunned, and asked Cyclizar beside him: "Where's Dragonite?"
Cyclizar pointed to the sky: "Gero."
Meaning Dragonite flew even higher.
Naoki was speechless, this guy, really...
Forget it, let it have its fun!
Naoki sighed helplessly, turned around, and went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
By the time he finished cleaning the pot, the rain outside had finally stopped.
Under the sunlight, a brilliant rainbow appeared in the air.
At that moment, the Dragonite, having had enough fun, finally returned to the pasture.
It jubilantly rushed into the house, stretched out its large claw, and hugged Naoki, who was wiping the table.
"Roar~"
Naoki sighed helplessly: "Are you that happy?"
Dragonite nodded repeatedly: "Roar!"
Seeing Dragonite's expression, Naoki feared Dragonite might become arrogant because of this.
He thought for a moment and reminded, "You can't become arrogant, you know? You still have to work hard, practice diligently, and truly integrate this power. Although you're already strong, there are many Pokemon in this world much stronger than us."
Dragonite blinked its eyes and nodded happily.
"Roar!"
It was well aware of this.
Dragonite's mind conjured the memory of when it once passed through a typhoon's eye, seeing that pitch-black, powerful, and mysterious Pokemon at the typhoon's top.
So, it would continue to train hard!
