Chapter 219: Senior Ninetales's Sage Time
After returning Home, Bai Feng, having nothing to do, moved a Chair into the Courtyard and lay on it, leisurely swaying back and forth.
If it were before his Golden Finger's Advancement, he Sure wouldn't be able to be this leisurely. Now, he'd probably still have to painstakingly go and comb Energy for the Fruit Trees.
Now things are better. His Golden Finger's ability greatly increased, so every day he completes the Task quickly, and his free Time increased.
Leaning on the Lounge Chair, holding a Book, probably because it was too comfortable, Bai Feng gradually fell asleep. At the same Time, his Golden Finger Energy began to uncontrollably overflow, flowing out along the Ground, and before long, it gathered into a Small River in the Courtyard.
Liepard, also having nothing to do, jumped onto the top of the Garden Wall and walked like a cat on the wall with its graceful posture.
Suddenly, it noticed the anomaly in the Courtyard. Its Eyes immediately lit up, and then with a whoosh, it jumped into the Courtyard, walked to Bai Feng's side, rested its Head on his knee, let out a comfortable purring sound, and then slowly closed its Eyes.
(ω)
So comfortable! I'm going to heaven!
The Golden Finger Energy constantly washed over Liepard's Body, making Liepard also unable to help but slowly fall asleep.
The Fletchling and Fletchinder flying in the Sky also Discovered the Situation here, so one after another they landed. Some perched on the backrest of the Lounge Chair, some perched on Bai Feng's Shoulder, and some perched on his belly, legs, and the tips of his Feet...
For a Time, the Courtyard was filled with fiery red little Birds. They were all very self-aware, not making a single sound, afraid of waking Bai Feng and losing this extra Healing Treatment.
Senior Ninetales came out of the Room Interior, wanting to ask Lopunny when the Meal would be.
Ever since learning that the Pokémon's Meals at Bai Feng's Home are all Energy Cubes made from S-Rank Berries, Senior Ninetales has never missed a single Meal. Every day as soon as it's Meal Time, it comes out to rush them, completely losing the demeanor of a Senior expert.
Just at this Moment, Lopunny and Hatterene are not at Home. They went to the Employee Dormitory to clean the Hygiene. Senior Ninetales searched around but didn't find them, and unconsciously walked into the Courtyard.
Looking at that pool of white Energy flowing in the Courtyard, like a clear spring, and then looking at the Fletchinder and Fletchlings looking like they were floating to heaven, Senior Ninetales was stunned.
What is this?
Senior Ninetales was about to call out to Bai Feng. At this Moment, all the Fletchinder and Fletchling looked at it and raised their Wings at it, signaling it to be quiet, as if to say that if Senior Ninetales dared to make a sound and wake Bai Feng, they would swarm it and take it down.
Senior Ninetales shrunk its Neck and didn't dare to make a sound. It wasn't afraid of a bunch of juniors; it just wasn't going to bother arguing with the juniors.
Withdrawing its gaze, Senior Ninetales looked at the white Energy flowing on the Ground. Its Eyes revealed curiosity. What is this? Why is everyone so happy bathing in it?
It extended a little paw and lightly tapped the Energy. That Energy, in an Instant, stuck to its Paw Pad and flowed into its Body, causing a huge impact on its Body and Consciousness!
﹌(Д)﹋
Senior Ninetales trembled all over and immediately collapsed onto the Ground.
This... what is this feeling? How is it so... so wonderful? It's a bit... a bit like doing 'that thing'... the feeling in that Instant...
Having lived for such a great Age, Senior Ninetales had dated at least eighteen partners, if not twenty. It was once a handsome fox that charmed countless Pokémon, and it was still perfectly clear on what 'that thing' felt like.
That jolt of 'Electricity', Senior Ninetales felt as if all the strength in its Body was drained away. It propped itself up on its two Legs and shakily stood up, then again raised a little paw and tapped towards the white Energy.
It didn't even dare to tap too much at once. It was old, and it was afraid the stimulation received at once would be too great, causing it to directly faint from pleasure.
"Ooh~~~ Ooh~~~"
As its Foot tip touched the white Energy in that Instant, Senior Ninetales was 'shocked' again. It finally couldn't hold back and let out a groan. At the same Time, it collapsed limply onto the Ground.
This groan of its caused the Fletchinder and Fletchling to glare at it angrily: "What are you doing?! Bai Feng is woken up!"
At this Moment, Senior Ninetales had no mind to notice the Fletchinder and Fletchlings' anger. It lay on the Ground, having already entered Sage Time, its thoughts completely empty.
At this Moment, Bai Feng also woke up because of Senior Ninetales's exclamation. He opened his Eyes. In an Instant, all the Golden Finger Energy returned to his Body, as if everything that happened before was just an illusion.
=(*) The Fletchinder and Fletchlings were extremely disappointed.
"Why are you all gathered here?" Bai Feng asked, puzzled.
"Yagu~ Yagu~" Nothing, nothing!
"Chapu~ Chapu~" It's nothing, it's nothing!
...
The Fletchinder and Fletchlings shook their Heads one after another, flapping their Wings, and flew away in a flash.
Alas~ Don't know if there will be another Opportunity next Time! The Fletchinder and Fletchlings couldn't help but sigh as they flew away.
Liepard's Head was resting on Bai Feng's knee. As soon as Bai Feng moved, it woke up. The person and the Pokémon both groggily stared at each other.
"Why did you all run over here?" Bai Feng asked, puzzled.
"Meow meow meow~~"
Liepard explained the Reason, then with a leap, jumped onto the Garden Wall and disappeared in the blink of an Eye.
After listening, Bai Feng suddenly understood, and at the same Time felt a bit amused and helpless. After he Discovered that Old Mom (Gardevoir) and Primarina secretly snuck into his Room at night, he also Discovered a characteristic of his Golden Finger: as long as he was in a completely relaxed state, the Energy inside his Body would unconsciously flow out.
He had no way to control this Matter at all.
At this Moment, it was already evening. The Sun was about to set, and Lopunny and Hatterene also returned from the Employee Dormitory side. So, Bai Feng planned to move the Lounge Chair back into the Room.
Just as he lifted up the Lounge Chair, he saw a golden object not far away, lying there motionless.
"Senior Ninetales?"
Hearing Bai Feng's voice, Senior Ninetales only then slowly crawled up from the Ground.
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Senior Ninetales looking Spiritually dazed, Bai Feng asked, amused and helpless.
"The... the aftereffect is too strong!"
Senior Ninetales said with trembling lips.
"You have such a treasure, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
After a while, Senior Ninetales finally recovered from the lingering effect brought by the Golden Finger Energy. At this Moment, it felt like its Spirit was a hundred times stronger, so it began to question Bai Feng.
"What treasure?" Bai Feng was stunned by the question.
"Just that white Stuff that's like Water," Senior Ninetales said while savoring the memory.
Having been here for so many days and missed out on another good Thing, Senior Ninetales was filled with regret.
"Oh~~" Bai Feng finally understood. "You mean that! Why would I tell you? That's a Benefit that only the Pokémon in our Orchard can enjoy, you can enjoy it every day. It has nothing to do with you, a Pokémon temporarily living here. It's useless for you to know."
"Every day?" Senior Ninetales exclaimed, its Eyes almost popping out. Wouldn't that be pleasure to the heavens? What kind of God-like treatment is this!
It knows how to grasp the key point.
"That's right, as long as I'm at Home, you can every day," Bai Feng nodded and said.
"I'll join, I'll join, I'll swear to join Fangxing Mountain Orchard right now!" Senior Ninetales exclaimed, hopping and jumping as soon as it heard.
This stunned Bai Feng. After he listened to Old Mr. Louis's words, he indeed had the thought of keeping Senior Ninetales. These past few days, he had been racking his Brains, Plan-ning what Method to use to persuade Senior Ninetales, and didn't expect it would agree so easily today.
"Really?" Bai Feng asked with a doubtful Mindset.
"Really, really, I never lie. It's not bad here, there are delicious Energy Cubes to eat every day, and also... and also... and also that kind of... that kind of feeling..."
Saying this, a suspicious blush appeared on Senior Ninetales's Face, and its voice also became hesitant.
"Alright, since you're serious, then I agree to let you stay. But since you want to stay here with me, shouldn't you Notify the League?" Bai Feng asked.
"Hmm..." Ninetales thought for a while. "Yes, I should tell them."
After speaking, Ninetales ran back to its own Room. When it reappeared, it was already holding a Space Backpack in its mouth.
This is Senior Ninetales's own Space Backpack. It brought it with it when it came to Fangxing Mountain.
Senior Ninetales has more than just a Space Backpack. Although it is a Pokémon, it possesses all the Rights that League Citizens should have. Not only does it have its own Household Registration Information and Bank Account, it can even, like a person, own its own Assets, participate in various Activities under its real name, and buy anything a person can buy.
Because it has made countless Merits for the League, that's why it has such treatment.
This is one of the important Reasons why Pokémon like Senior Ninetales are unwilling to recognize other Trainers again, because Trainers can no longer bring them any Benefit, and will only become a restraint on them living a Free Life.
Only to see Senior Ninetales skillfully take out a Phone from the Space Backpack and quickly dial the Phone.
"Hello, is that Dong Hao? It's me. Yes, yes, yes, I've made the Decision to stay here with this kid!
What? You want to come see me? No need, do I need you to see me? Just take care of yourself!
Alright, alright, I can't be bothered to talk nonsense with you, I'm hanging up the Phone."
Then, only a click was heard, and Senior Ninetales hung up the Phone.
"Alright, alright! The Matter is decided like this. I'll be your Pokémon from now on," Senior Ninetales said, wagging its Tail.
Bai Feng was shocked by Senior Ninetales's swift actions. If he remembered correctly, the current League Chairman of the Kalos Alliance is named Dong Hao, right?
Why is Senior Ninetales so bossy towards the League Chairman?
"Alright, alright! What are you spacing out for? Are you happy silly because I'm staying?" Senior Ninetales walked up to Bai Feng and patted his butt with its Tail. "Go ahead and secretly be happy later. Now quickly take me to have some fun, hehehe... I can barely wait!"
