Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 651 Return from Injury (35)

Lai barely slept for a while, but before dawn, he was awakened by Naqi's body being hot.

She was intolerant of low temperatures. She stayed in the low-temperature environment for a long time while her whole body was wet. Not surprisingly, she caught a cold.

But in one night, she, who was anxious and in poor health, had a fever of nearly 40 degrees.

"Let me do it, I'm not powerless!"

Looking at Lai who was using only one arm to pack things and prepare meals for her, Naqi wanted to forcefully get up several times.

"Have a good rest, don't come out, take medicine and go to bed. You'll be fine in a day or two."

Pressing one hand on his forehead, the scalding heat made Lai's expression become serious, his eyes widened, and he pushed Naqi back.

"Oh, I'm holding you back again. You were so careless yesterday!"

Wrapped in a thick sleeping bag, plus clothes and quilts, Naqi, who looked like a silkworm baby, let out a whimpering sound.

"What are you talking about? What do you mean by holding me back? If you say that again, I will really get angry. Sleep well, I have nothing to do. The hot springs here are really effective. Although it hurts a little, I feel refreshed. many."

After tapping Naqi's little head to stop her random thoughts, Lai slightly moved his right arm which was still tightly wrapped.

Suddenly, he turned his head. Just by accident, the wound pulled a little, and the severe pain almost made him reveal his secret.

"You lied to me again! Stop it and lie down quickly. We'll just deal with it!"

He puffed up his cheeks and glared hard at Lai, but he couldn't bear it and persuaded him softly.

"It'll be fine soon. Eat these and then have a good sleep. You will be full of energy tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at least. Then there will be a lot of hard things for you."

With the help of his assistant Tianniao, the porridge slightly mixed with some improved medicinal herbs and nourishing ingredients for the body was successfully cooked.

While Naqi was forcing herself to eat in small mouthfuls, Lai ducked out of the tent and quickly asked the Lizard King and Swampert to change his dressing.

When he turned around and returned to the tent, he was full of energy and seemed completely uninjured.

······
"You, just lie down for me, now it's my turn!"

Two days later, Naqi, whose fever subsided, pressed Lai down aggressively, and put the blood-stained and washed gauze and clothes in front of the sleeping bag, with a grim expression.

Although her body was still a little weak, she couldn't bear to lie down and be taken care of. She gritted her teeth and took care of Rai and all the Pokémon.

After going back and forth like this for many days, relying on the vitality of the hot spring to nourish them, they were able to regain their health.

······
"Ah"

He took a bite of the last small piece of medicinal material and swallowed it three times.

Lai moved his arms, from his shoulders to his elbows and then to his wrists. Although he couldn't exert his full strength, he could still move smoothly, and he could even perform simple close combat with ease.

All that's left is to replenish nutrients step by step until the muscles grow again.

"Hey! Ha!"

After punching the air a few times, Lai, who felt good about himself, strode toward the woods outside the camp.

Within ten days, the fruits and medicinal materials nearby had been collected by the Lizard King, and they had entered the belly of Lai, Naqi, and their friends.

Now that he has recovered his health, Lai has taken on the task of cooking a feast to reward everyone.

Not long after, smoke slowly rose from outside the woods.

With the breeze blowing, the smell of rice spread to the camp.

Naqi, who was leading the little ones to do some simple exercises, smiled briefly, straightened her face again, corrected the movements of several Pokémon that had not been systematically trained for a long time, and then lifted the back of Mariluli's neck. , beating its head.

"Mary! Mary!"

Maliluli, who was caught on the spot for being lazy and distracted, could only keep begging for mercy and stretched out her hands to protect her head, but the length of her arms and legs was obviously not enough. After some thrashing, Naqi finally let go after she had calmed down. Pass a horse.

"Swamp Monster, take it with you and add two sets of strength training. If it can't finish it, you won't be allowed to have lunch."

Looking at the diligent Swampert on the side with an expressionless face, Naqi ordered.

"Kamo!"

Regardless of Marilulli's struggle, the giant swamp monster picked it up and carried it to a distance, put on a strength load, and began intensive training.

"Mary—"

Mary Luli's screams can be said to make those who hear it sad and those who hear it shed tears.

"Dolong Baluto, follow Nian Meilong and continue to practice Dragon Wave. Stop practicing your half-baked Archon Slash. You won't be able to figure out the reason for a while. Rai has told you several times. Bar."

Mariluli's precedent was a good way to intimidate a few playful little guys. After listening to Naqi's words, even the most favored Doronbaruto nodded repeatedly and did not dare to stumble a bit.

"Sonic Dragon, you and Kuailong go to train Dragon Dive, and then add a set of endurance training together."

"Tropical Dragon, go and help Lai and the Lizard King cook. It's been hard lately. Let's take a rest today."

"Natural bird, huh? Where are the natural bird and the armored bird?" Looking back, the natural bird and the armored bird had disappeared. When I heard it again, there were constant explosions in the distant mountains and forests.

"Forget it, let them be. Big-billed Owl, you take them to practice some extraordinary power. Today's wind is neither too strong nor too weak, so it's just right."

"Bay!"

The big-billed gull nodded and took off into the sky meticulously.

"Leibu, how about you go and spar with Qixi Blue Bird?"

Squatting down, Naqi fondly pinched the cheek of the most sensible little guy and asked.

"Buy~"

His little tongue licked Naqi's hand, and Reib happily agreed.

【What about me~ what about me~】

Jirachi also floated over and waved in front of Naqi's eyes.

"You don't want to train either? Just stay with me."

【Then I'll go eat~】

Nodding to himself, Jirachi left the camp with a smile and floated in the direction of Rai.

It knows that as long as it goes over there and acts like a spoiled brat, there will be delicious snacks.

Thinking of this, my little stomach seemed to growl.

······
【Can’t eat any more o(╥﹏╥)o】

On the dinner table, looking at all kinds of delicacies, Jirachi felt full after just a few bites and couldn't eat any more.

"Who told you, little guy, to steal so many snacks just now? Have you learned your lesson?"

Naqi reached out her hand and tapped Jirachi's belly.

【I don’t care, I don’t care o(╥﹏╥)o】

Failing to act coquettishly, Wishing Star changed her tactics to cheating, flying onto Lai's shoulders and dancing.

Although simple, the effect was direct and rough. Lai immediately reached out and held it in his arms, gently massaging its abdomen to help it digest the snacks in its belly.

"You pamper it too much, Rai, and you'll spoil it."

Naqi held her forehead, feeling deeply that educating the little guy had a long way to go.

"No, Jirachi is still very sensible, right?"

He gently pressed his fingertips on Jirachi's abdomen and kneaded it with moderate strength, making the little guy show an expression of enjoyment. Rai said nonchalantly.

【That’s right~】

Jirachi, who closed his eyes, also felt uncontrollably proud.

"Hey, I can't stand you two!"

Sighing, Naqi felt that if she continued like this, she would grow old very quickly.

"Mary!"

Turning exhaustion and unhappiness into appetite, Mary Luli ate a lot.

Next to it, after being taught one-sidedly by the natural bird again, the armored bird was not slower at cooking than the wind, cleaning the food on the table like a wind blowing through the remaining clouds.

However, compared to the big-billed gull and the giant marsh monster, this speed is nothing.

In order not to cause trouble to Lai and Naqi, they had not eaten well for a few days and now used practical actions to prove what it meant to gorge themselves.

With the normal performance of several big eaters, Lai worked hard to complete a large lunch table all morning, but in the end not a single bit was left.

However, what is surprising is that the last person to withdraw from the appetite competition is not one of the giant swamp monsters and the big-billed gulls, but an unknown person who has an amazing appetite after the breakthrough of the power of multi-dimensional symbiosis. Sticky beauty dragon.

After cleaning up the remaining food on the table alone, Dacute even felt a little unsatisfied, and rubbed her still flat belly in embarrassment.

"It's a blessing to be able to eat. I'm the happiest if you can eat this meal until there's nothing left." Touching Nian Meilong's little head, Lai smiled and arched his eyebrows. "It's really hard for everyone these days. Tomorrow Keep adding extra meals to help you regain all your nutrients!"

"Kamo!"

"Mary!"

The whole family, one big and one small, took the lead in raising their arms and shouting, and there was a roar of joy and laughter.

The faint haze accumulated during the time travel finally gradually faded as Lai recovered from his injury and Nian Meilong's journey to find his hometown continued.
