137: Section 137

“The only difference is that Whimsicott itself has the ability to create blizzards, so it can travel with the wind as it pleases.”

“But if the wind is too strong, the cotton on its head might be torn off. Besides that, when the cotton gets wet, it also becomes heavy, which can make it unable to move and only able to resign itself to fate.”

“Whenever it is bathed in sunlight, the cotton on Whimsicott’s body will swell, but if it swells too much, it might tear off the cotton and scatter it everywhere.”

“It is said that Whimsicott has the ability to merge its body with the wind, because it is as pervasive as the wind, able to pass through even the smallest gaps.”

“It is precisely because of this that it can ride the wind and sneak into homes through cracks, hide people’s important belongings, move furniture around, or fill rooms with white cotton, then giggle and leave. It’s a mischievous Pokémon, much like a Ghost-type Pokémon.”

“However, compared to Ghost-type Pokémon, Whimsicott’s methods are undoubtedly gentler; at the very least, it won’t scare people unconscious, and at most, it will only create some minor trouble for you.”

“If you can tolerate Whimsicott’s pranks, then it is undoubtedly a very good Pokémon.”

“However, it should be noted that for Cottonee to evolve into Whimsicott, it needs to use a special item called a Sun Stone to complete the evolution.”

When speaking of Whimsicott’s personality, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but sigh.

If Whimsicott had any shortcomings, it would be its personality, which is somewhat similar to Ghost-type Pokémon.

However, fortunately, compared to Ghost-type Pokémon, Whimsicott’s personality is still much better, so this shouldn’t be a big problem.

“Listening to Anchor’s introduction, Whimsicott seems like a very interesting Pokémon.”

“Yes, not only can it create blizzards, but it can even merge its body with the wind. No wonder it’s called Whimsicott; that name is truly fitting.”

“Exactly, this is a genuine Fairy of the Wind.”

“Whimsicott’s other aspects are indeed very good, but its prank-loving personality is quite a headache. The main reason I don’t particularly like Ghost-type Pokémon is because of this.”

“Actually, I feel it’s alright? And Whimsicott’s pranks mainly involve hiding some of your valuable items and moving your things around, which isn’t too big of a problem.”

“Yes, Ghost-type Pokémon’s pranks are truly deadly. Whimsicott’s pranks, compared to theirs, are really nothing.”

“I feel that Whimsicott plays pranks largely because it wants to attract your attention and have you spend more time with it. After all, these pranks... well, they really resemble how children seek attention.”

“Now that you mention it, it does seem to be the case.”

“For someone like me who is a bit lonely, I feel Whimsicott is truly suitable for me. It’s just that its evolution is a bit troublesome, requiring a Sun Stone.”

“Pokémon that require such special ite to evolve are indeed a bit of a headache.”

“That depends on personal luck. If you’re lucky, maybe you can find those stones in the wild? Didn’t someone accidentally obtain those ite before?”

“But isn’t that probability too low? So far, there should only be a few dozen people who have obtained ite, right?”

“Huh? Don’t you know? A few days ago, the officials discovered a mineral vein in an Unknown Land. During the exploration process, they found ite such as Fire Stone and Leaf Stone.”

“Exactly, I also saw this news. At that time, many people speculated that one of the sources of ite was those mineral veins in the Unknown Land. If that mineral vein can start being mined, there should be a relatively stable channel for obtaining ite.”

“So, does that mean we will also have a chance to obtain those ite in the future?”

“While there is indeed a chance to obtain them, if the output is not high, they probably won’t be directly available for purchase, or they will require a large amount of money to buy.”

“No matter what, this at least gives us a chance to obtain them, doesn’t it?”

“That’s true.”

Just as Zhang Yu had guessed, most people could accept Whimsicott’s pranks.

After all, with the comparison to Ghost-type Pokémon’s pranks, Whimsicott’s pranks truly amounted to nothing.

What truly made them hesitant was the issue of the Sun Stone.

However, the emergence of another piece of news dispelled this concern for some people.

“Wind?”

It was at this moment that Whimsicott, who had been in a coma, slowly opened its eyes.

While it was still feeling a bit bewildered and unsure of what had happened, its gaze met Zhang Yu’s, who was looking at it.

When Whimsicott clearly saw Zhang Yu’s appearance, it was immediately startled.

Its small face, which had originally had a hint of a blush, suddenly turned a few shades paler.

“Wind!”

Almost instinctively, it wanted to summon a hurricane and escape with its companions.

But when it tried to do so, it found that its body had very little strength, only allowing it to barely stand up.

This terrible situation immediately made it feel a sense of despair.

“Are you really that scared of me? I won’t eat you.”

“Not to mention, I’m the one who cured your illness.”

“So don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.”

Upon seeing Whimsicott’s appearance, Zhang Yu immediately spoke, feeling quite speechless.

However, he also knew that this couldn’t really be blamed on Whimsicott. If anyone was to blame, it could only be those people from the United States who were so inhumane.

Otherwise, how could Whimsicott be scared like this just by seeing him?

It was precisely because of this that while Zhang Yu comforted Whimsicott, he also used his special ability again.

To be precise, this was not the first time he had used his special ability on Whimsicott.

Earlier, when treating Whimsicott, he had secretly used a little Tokiwa Power to help it recover as quickly as possible.

“Wind?”

Perhaps because Zhang Yu had used Tokiwa Power when treating Whimsicott before, when he used his special ability again, Whimsicott’s vigilance towards him immediately decreased significantly.

However, a hint of wariness still lingered on its face, clearly indicating that it was still somewhat unconvinced by what Zhang Yu had said.

“If you don’t believe me, why don’t you ask the Cottonee around here?”

Upon noticing this, Zhang Yu immediately pointed his hand towards the surrounding Cottonee, feeling quite helpless.

“Cotton~”

“Cotton-cotton~”

Before Whimsicott could even speak again, the surrounding Cottonee immediately started chirping.

“Wind~”

After hearing what the Cottonee said, Whimsicott quickly realized that Zhang Yu was telling the truth, and it scratched its head, feeling quite embarrassed.

“You…”

“However, it’s a good thing that you’re so vigilant, as there are indeed many bad people in this world.”

Upon seeing Whimsicott’s appearance, Zhang Yu didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“Wind~”

Whimsicott then realized that treating its savior that way was indeed a bit impolite, so it moved closer to Zhang Yu, rubbed gently against him, and gave him a fawning smile.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu immediately reached out and vigorously ruffled Whimsicott’s fur.

This soft, fluffy texture was really nice.

The only slight regret was that because a lot of snow had fallen on Whimsicott’s body, Zhang Yu inevitably felt a bit cold when ruffling it, and didn’t get that warm, cozy feeling.

“Yay, Whimsicott is finally awake!”

“What kind of medicine did Anchor use? It’s so effective?”

“It should be medicine specifically for Pokémon, right?”

“Oh, why is Whimsicott so wary of Anchor too?”

“That’s normal. Don’t you think about it, they flew over from the United States before. How could they not be wary?”

“Yes, if it didn’t have any vigilance, it would probably have gotten into trouble long ago, right?”

“From this, you can also see how brutal the United States is.”

“I seriously suspect that if it weren’t for countries like the United States causing trouble, our process of capturing Pokémon should be much smoother.”

“There is indeed such a possibility. From Whimsicott and Cottonee, you can see that some Pokémon living in those countries should have chosen to leave their homes, and when they arrive in a new place, they will also let the Pokémon there know about their past experiences, which certainly has a certain impact on our Pokémon capture efforts.”

“Put aside being wary or not for a moment, haven’t you noticed that this Whimsicott is really cute?”

“If you observe carefully, you’ll find that Whimsicott’s main body is almost like a miniature human, but because it has too much cotton on its body, we didn’t notice this before.”

“Huh? It really seems to be that way.”

“All this cotton must be very comfortable to rub, right? It feels like it could even be used as a blanket, especially for children.”

“Absolutely, didn’t you see Anchor’s expression of enjoyment?”

“Wuwuwu~ This is truly too enviable!”

“Oh, if only I could have a Whimsicott, or even a Cottonee.”

“If it’s just Cottonee, there should still be some hope, but Whimsicott is really difficult.”

“Yes, after all, it also needs a Sun Stone when evolving.”

“Alas, it seems that not only us, but also those Pokémon are troubled by this thing. Otherwise, among so many Cottonee, there wouldn’t be only one Whimsicott.”
