Chapter 1084 Social Death and Classic Reproduction_1

You'll never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Similarly...

You'll never wake a Dragonite that's pretending to be faint.

After the show was over, the Dragonite that had fallen into the sea was fished out by Venusaur's Vine Whip and thrown onto the beach.

Sleeping very peacefully.

But Eevee and the others didn't care whether Dragonite was really asleep or faking it, the "asleep" Dragonite was immediately surrounded by the Pokémon, admired as a sort of mascot.

"Bana—"

Venusaur was the first to point and comment, expressing that this was something even it didn't dare to confront directly, and how much inferior it was in comparison.

Afterward, these Pokémon began trying to wake Dragonite up.

Except Milotic, Milotic had already silently distanced itself to avoid being teased.

"ଘ(੭ˊ꒳​ˋ)੭✧ Hunger!"

In the process of trying to wake Dragonite up, Glutton brought over an Ice Blue Feather from Articuno to tickle Dragonite's belly, but Dragonite unusually showed no reaction at all.

Eevee, Monferno, and Venusaur also set up a barbecue rack and threw Dragonite onto it, which also entirely failed to wake Dragonite up.

Only when the Rotom phone started playing the blockbuster recording from the beginning at high volume did Dragonite involuntarily twitch all over, yet still refused to wake up.

Dragonite wept in heart, its Dark Power grew a bit more, if only, if only it all were a nightmare...

Too much, way too much.

One day, it would also become a bully.

"Cough, stop messing around."

"Dragonite, you go into your Poké Ball first, I'll go ask Milotic what it thinks."

Fang Yuan halted Rotom and the others from their antics, recalling Dragonite back to its Poké Ball, to let it cool off on its own.

As for the rest of the Pokémon, after nodding their heads, they didn't go off to do their own things as they usually would but instead gathered together to gossip, curious about what would develop next.

It was no secret that Dragonite liked Milotic.

Although most Pokémon are quite simple-minded, like a blank slate.

But that also depends on whose Pokémon they are.

Influenced by their environment, Fang Yuan's Pokémon were each... more than the last.

Even Milotic itself had noticed, after so long, that Dragonite was maybe just a little too nice to it.

After all, no one had ever seen Dragonite rushing to be Monferno's sparring partner. This was beyond the usual camaraderie among teammates.

......

A moment later.

Fang Yuan found Milotic.

Milotic was silently staring at the sea.

Upon seeing Milotic, Fang Yuan said with a smile, "Congratulations, congratulations, I hadn't expected that Dragonite liked you..."

"Surprise or not, beyond Eevee."

"Mmmm~~~ (Being liked, isn't that quite normal?)" Milotic turned its head and looked at Fang Yuan with a glare.

It suspected that this entire script was Fang Yuan's conspiracy.

Fang Yuan: ...

Left speechless by Milotic's reply, Fang Yuan remembered this fellow was somewhat narcissistic.

Indeed, among the Water and Dragon Type Pokémon that Milotic encountered, there were hardly any that didn't like it.

"So, how do you plan to reply to Dragonite?"

Fang Yuan crossed his arms, looking forward to the drama.

"No matter what you choose, as your Trainer, I support your decisions."

Milotic turned its head back quickly, eyes flickering; it was confused at the moment.

It had not expected Dragonite to suddenly confess.

How to reply...

If we're talking about its feelings towards Dragonite...

As the saying goes, familiarity breeds fondness. According to Milotic's aesthetic, Dragonite from the same Dragon Group Egg as it was undoubtedly more pleasing to look at.

Also, over the years, Dragonite had been particularly caring, attentive to every little detail.

When Dragonite said it accepted the Dark Power to protect everyone, Milotic had also come to admire this partner who always considered others.

But...

If you say it also felt that hazy emotion of love for Dragonite, Milotic felt it was not there yet.

It was not very sensitive to these matters.

Dragonite as it was now couldn't make its heart fully flutter; it was just a valued partner.

Furthermore, it had its own aspirations; contemplating romance was something Milotic had never even considered.

Unlike Dragonite the old bachelor, Milotic was not even ten years old.

"Mmmm~~~ (I'm still a child.)" Milotic said after a silence.

Considering Milotic's long lifespan, its age was indeed very young.

Fang Yuan: "It's okay... we're all children at heart. If you think it's suitable, consider it a childhood betrothal."

Generally speaking, Dragonite's lifespan is longer than Milotic's, so when you think about it, Dragonite wasn't very old either.

Milotic: (｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)

"Mmmm~!!! (No, Dragonite as it is now, just won't do!)"

It had no plans to engage in romance yet, was not prepared for it, and if it had to talk about love, its expectations for the other half were very high!

"Alright, alright~"

"But you're saying that if Dragonite meets your mating standards, it still has a chance??"

Fang Yuan's eyes gleamed.

It seemed that Milotic wasn't interested in Dragonite right now.

However, as a Trainer, Fang Yuan could see that Milotic did not dislike Dragonite, nor did it clearly state a dislike for Dragonite.

That was a good sign. As long as Dragonite worked hard, there might still be a chance to win over the goddess.

The stipulation, of course, was that it needed to improve itself.

"So, a question for Miss Milotic, do you have any specific requirements or standards for your future spouse?"

Fang Yuan pulled out a pen and notebook from nowhere and started asking seriously.

Milotic: (ー`´ー)
