Chapter 206 The movement of the ether foundation, the entrustment of the old man(2/2)
Hoshino is actually quite curious. How did Iron Baggage follow a group of messenger birds here to live in harmony?
At this time, the old messenger bird continued: "More than a month ago...these little guys thought it was lonely, so they brought it back..."
The old messenger bird told the story of how Iron Baggage came here. His eyesight had long been poor and he couldn't tell the difference between Iron Baggage and other messenger birds, but the smallest size was easy to distinguish.
And even without looking at the size, he could recognize every messenger bird here. After all, he rescued and raised them like children.
The iron bundle was brought back, and he took good care of it as always. Unfortunately, he was getting older and could no longer do many things, so he had to let other messenger birds take more care of this little guy.
The messenger birds go out to work every day, and there is actually no one to instruct them. When they no longer need to deliver messages, they go find work on their own to make money for the elderly. The iron baggage also follows these messenger birds.
However, with its excellent express delivery efficiency and its largest tail, it took only a few days to become the boss of these messenger birds. They have always lived in harmony, so naturally there will be no problems.
In the first few days after arriving, Iron Baggage looked like a dork. Later, he seemed to be learning from other messenger birds and would take the initiative to greet the old man, but his calls were completely different and I couldn't understand what he was saying.
They lived peacefully like this, but the Skeleton Team came here two weeks ago, and they came every now and then. They wanted to collect these messenger birds, but the old man would not agree and did not want to pay attention to them.
Unexpectedly, they brought a few more people with them today, and intensified their efforts, directly choosing to force them. Fortunately, the accident did not happen...
"So, are you learning the behavior of other messenger birds?"
Hoshino thought of Roartail. Before he was subdued, he seemed to be following those wild Jigglypuffs around all day long. It seemed that these paradoxical Pokémon had a certain relationship with the original Pokémon!
But putting these aside for now, he put the iron bundle on the ground and continued: "No wonder, it seems to be very happy here. When you were bullied by the Skeleton Team, it got angry and chased you out."
"Really... Haha, this messenger bird is indeed different. I have raised messenger birds for so many years, so of course I know it."
The old messenger bird said happily, but then the conversation changed and his expression returned to calm.
"But... I can't take care of them anymore. They are all taking care of me, a bad old man. It's completely meaningless... Just like those guys who haven't learned well said... I don't have much time left to live."
Hearing this, Lillie quickly shook her head and shouted: "There is no such thing. Grandpa, you are in such good health now, you will definitely live for a long time, and then you will be with these messenger birds..."
Before she could finish her words, the old messenger bird waved her hand to interrupt, and continued in a feeble voice: "I know my physical condition very well... but over the years, I have seen the Alola region develop and prosper from a barren land.
The tree orchards I planted have now become the largest tree orchards in Alola, so it’s not a loss at all.”
"Um?"
Neither Hoshino nor Lillie knew this. The tree orchard was actually planted by the messenger bird old man, so the other party gave it to Alola for free, allowing other people and Pokémon to use it as they pleased?
"Grandpa is a kind man..."
Lillie was still a girl after all, and she felt more deeply about this kind of thing. An old man did not seek fame or profit, but he voluntarily made so many contributions to the Alola region. But in the end, what he got in exchange was that the Skeleton Team came to visit.
persecution……
"well……"
Hoshino shook his head, but at this moment the old messenger bird suddenly looked serious and spoke again: "Can I ask you a favor?"
"Please tell me!"
Both of them became serious and wanted to hear what the other party wanted to ask of them, but the old messenger bird only spoke after taking a look at the messenger birds.
"After I leave... they will be homeless, but they will definitely still miss me, this bad old man, so I hope you can help me enlighten them to pursue their own lives...
…”
