Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 Settlements

Draconis hurriedly left to carry out his mission.

The remaining people huddled together for warmth, and the two Bouffalant used to pull the cart were in no better condition.

While waiting, Draconis began to study his panel, which seemed to be his Cheat.

The panel was very simple, displaying various pieces of information.

Perhaps they hadn't yet reached the territory assigned by the Old King, which was why the 'Territory' section showed 'None yet'.

The number of Commoners was 78, meaning that their original team of over five hundred people was now reduced to seventy-eight.

As for the three Pokémon... Draconis glanced at the two Bouffalant in front and thought it was probably them and the Dratini sleeping under a blanket.

Looking at the two Bouffalant restrained by harnesses, Draconis searched his mind for the attitude of humans in this era towards Pokémon.

The Commoners were filled with fear of Pokémon, because wild Pokémon would attack passersby. Faced with these 'magical beasts' that could release electricity and Flamethrower, these defenseless Commoners had no ability to resist.

But even so, some capable people would use various methods to specifically capture Pokémon, enslave them, shackle them, and force them to work.

In this era, there were no Trainers, no Poké Balls, and humans and Pokémon were still in opposition.

Thinking of this, Draconis couldn't help but sigh, "How bitter!"

Why do others, when they transmigrate, go directly to the modern Pokémon world, become a Trainer, and travel the world with their partners?

But he had to transmigrate to this icy, snowy land and almost freeze to death.

Draconis sighed again. He composed himself and continued to look at the next few sections.

Public sentiment, as the name suggests, refers to the satisfaction of these people with him as their lord. Currently, it was only 2, which was indeed precarious.

And the satisfaction below that probably refers to these people's satisfaction with the territory's facilities and environment.

However, since he currently had no territory, it was naturally 0.

As for technology... Draconis clicked to take a look.

Technology was divided into four main categories:

Agricultural Age, Industrial Age, Electrical Age, and Information Age.

Draconis quickly scanned them.

Most technologies in the Agricultural Age were very primitive.

For example:

Animal Husbandry: Unlocks methods for raising land Pokémon. Exchange required: 200 satisfaction.

Fishing: Unlocks methods for raising water Pokémon. Exchange required: 200 satisfaction.

By the Industrial Age, some technology trees similar to Steam Technology appeared.

After that came the Electrical Age.

Electricity Technology: Unlocks electricity-related technologies. Exchange required: 50,000 satisfaction.

Poké Ball Technology: Unlocks modern Poké Ball manufacturing processes. Prerequisite: Electricity Technology. Exchange required: 10,000 satisfaction, Electricity Technology.

Draconis's assessment of this was: useful, but not now.

After a moment of silence, Draconis clicked on 'Details' next to 'Commoners'.

The next second, a more detailed sub-panel appeared before him, seemingly showing the names of all the Commoners.

Commoners (Humans): Ryan, Alfred, Allen, Rick, Aji, Alisha...

Draconis's thoughts moved slightly, and he selected Ryan. The next second, the young man's detailed information unfolded before him like a scroll.

Commoner Name: Ryan

Age: 25 years old

Occupation: Royal Guard Knight

Special Abilities: None

Loyalty: 95 (Maximum 100)

Life History: kingdom calendar 123, Ryan was born.

kingdom calendar 132, his parents passed away, and he made a living by working in a bakery.

kingdom calendar 137, he joined the Eindoak Knights Order and became a glorious knight.

kingdom calendar 148, he protected Third Prince Draconis and traveled with him to his fiefdom.

"This is..."

Draconis was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted.

If the detailed information of human Commoners could be seen, what about Pokémon?

He selected the Dratini below.

Pokémon: Dratini

Type: Dragon

Gender: Female

Ability: Marvel Scale

Moves: Wrap, Glare, Twister

Friendship: 20 (Maximum 100, can exceed maximum in special circumstances.)

Pokémon Life History: kingdom calendar 147, Dratini was born.

kingdom calendar 148, Dratini was caught by fishermen and offered to a noble.

kingdom calendar 148, the noble, for status, offered Dratini to the King.

kingdom calendar 148, to maintain relations with the Eindoak Kingdom, the King sent an envoy to present Dratini as a gift to the King of Eindoak.

kingdom calendar 148, Dratini was given by the Old King to Third Prince Draconis as a pet and traveled with him to his fiefdom.

"Sure enough, I can see it!"

Draconis looked back inside the carriage at the Dratini huddled under the blanket for warmth.

What was this?

Was this Dratini his starter Pokémon?

If it were in modern times, Draconis would probably be overjoyed, as a pseudo-legendary Dratini is both rare and precious.

But given his current predicament... he couldn't even take care of himself, so how could he take care of Dratini?

Moreover, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon's growth requires a lot of resources... Alas!

Draconis closed the panel, slowly sighed, and then closed his eyes, appearing to be in thought.

Since he was here, he would make the best of it.

He didn't want to die.

The Pokémon world is vast and sparsely populated, and they were currently lost, not knowing where they were, let alone heading to a nearby town for refuge, because they didn't know the exact location of any towns.

If they ventured out rashly and found one, it would be good, but if they didn't, this group of people would probably be buried under the Blizzard.

So, the most important thing now was to find a place to set up camp and survive this cold winter.

As for developing the territory... Draconis couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In this world with Pokémon, it was unrealistic for humans to develop alone; only by utilizing the power of Pokémon could they achieve better development.

The incredibly strong Machamp could be used for mining and construction.

Fire-type Pokémon could help smelt steel.

Miltank, which could produce 20 liters of milk a day, could provide fresh milk for all the humans in the territory.

The wool shorn from the Wooloo, whose entire body was covered in wool, could be used to make clothes and carpets.

Electric-type Pokémon like Pikachu could be used for power generation.

Pelipper could help deliver letters.

Conkeldurr could even make concrete for building sturdy and durable houses.

But the only problem was that his current location was the Unova region, and Pokémon like Miltank inhabit other regions; they were nowhere to be seen in the Unova region.

To introduce them, he would probably have to vigorously develop maritime technology, engage in long-distance trade, and bring Miltank, Wooloo, and other Pokémon into the Unova region.

However, thinking about these things was a bit too early now.

Draconis gathered his thoughts and looked towards the distant, undulating, snow-covered peaks.

After an unknown amount of time, so long that Draconis's limbs had become somewhat stiff from the cold, Ryan's figure finally appeared at the end of the snowy expanse.

As soon as Ryan returned, everyone immediately turned their gaze to him.

Ryan's eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at Draconis and exclaimed excitedly:

"Your Highness Draconis, I found a valley ahead! It's surrounded by mountains, and there's a forest inside. Our craftsmen can use those trees to build houses. There's also a big river, and I saw lots of fish in it! We'll have fresh fish to eat!"
