Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 195 Flying Pokémon Taxi Operation

"Dragonite, come out!"

Raven picked up the Poké Ball from the ground and then pressed the button on it.

The next second, a milky white light was released from it.

Amidst the light, the figure of Dragonite emerged.

Seeing this familiar scene, Raven was filled with emotion. He had finally managed to create this thing!
By this time, Elif had also noticed the difference between this new type of Poké Ball and the Poké Ball His Majesty had used before.

The Poké Ball used to be just a container that allowed Pokémon to shrink and stay inside.

Now, these Poké Balls can be controlled by the trainer, who can not only put Pokémon into the ball, but also choose to release them.

"It's amazing!" Elif couldn't help but exclaim.

"More importantly, once a Pokémon is captured in a Poké Ball, no one else can capture it again," Raven said.

For trainers, this is like having an extra layer of protection; they no longer have to worry about their Pokémon being stolen by others who mistake them for stray wild Pokémon.

"Your Majesty, shall we begin the next phase of our plan?" Elif asked.

Raven fell into deep thought.

Pokémon Centers and Friendship Shops are mostly completed across the country, but Nurse Joy is not yet in place in each location.

Moreover, this new type of Poké Ball has only just been developed and hasn't even been put into mass production yet...

"How many Poké Balls have the factory produced so far?" Raven asked.

“We expect to have two thousand,” Elif replied. “The cones on the cone trees near Raven City have been almost completely harvested, so we don’t have enough raw materials. But Your Majesty need not worry, as some people in the territory have already started to cultivate cone trees specifically for this purpose.”

Hearing this, Raven shook his head: "It's taking too long."

Even with the help of Grass-type Pokémon to cultivate and care for it, it still takes quite a while for a cone tree to grow from planting to bearing fruit. By the time the cones grow, it's too late.

After a brief moment of thought, Raven said, "Have people buy large quantities of Pokémon from other cities and send them all to the Poké Ball factory to produce Poké Balls."

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Elif nodded in response.

"Have the Nurse Joys from all over arrived in Raven City?" Raven then brought up the Pokémon Center.

“Your Majesty, we recently dispatched our trial-operation flying Pokémon taxis to those cities to pick up Nurse Joy, and they should be arriving soon,” Elif replied.

Upon hearing this, Raven hummed in agreement and silently pondered his next plan.

After Joey and his companions arrive in Raven City, they will need to undergo specialized training to learn medicine and identify herbs before they can go to various places to take up their posts.

At the same time, above the sky.

Several Nurse Joys from all over the kingdom are traveling to Raven City in a flying Pokémon taxi operated by Brave Eagle.

Outside the car window was a clear, azure sky with fluffy white clouds floating in the distance, and below was the vast, seemingly insignificant land of Unova.

The girls huddled together, their faces filled with tension, afraid to look out the window or down.

This was the first time in their lives they had ridden in such a "vehicle," and also the first time they had ever been to such a high altitude.

If they fell from here, they'd probably be killed instantly, right? Joey couldn't help but start imagining it.

There are four Joeys on board this flying taxi. They are:

The eldest sister is the gentle and intellectual Joy El, the second sister is the calm and composed Joysa, the third sister is the lively and cheerful Joyling, and the youngest sister is the precocious Joymei.

The four Joeys originally lived with their parents in a forest on the outskirts of Flying Cloud City.

Since the end of the previous war, many things have become popular in the United States, and newspapers are one of them.

Not long ago, my father, who works in Feiyun City, brought back several newspapers from the city.

The four sisters saw the story of the two girls named Jun and Rin on it.

They saw the two Nurse Joys working at the Pokémon Center in Raven City, and at first, people were a little afraid of the two girls who looked alike.

But as the two Nurse Joys continued to heal injured humans and Pokémon with their excellent medical skills, they gradually gained people's recognition and lived a very happy life there, just like ordinary people.

So, Joyce, who had been living in seclusion in the forest, immediately decided that they should also go to Raven City to take a look!
The third sister, Qiao Yiling, wholeheartedly agreed. Their father had moved to the forest outside the city to avoid discrimination against them.

Over the years, they have grown tired of this kind of life.

Now that she suddenly learned that the people in Raven City wouldn't treat them as unlucky people, but rather as normal people, Qiao Yiling couldn't help but feel a sense of longing for Raven City.

So the two of them went to their second sister, Joisa, and after some discussion, the three of them quickly made a decision.

They're going to Raven City to check it out!
El, as the eldest sister, strongly disapproved of her three younger sisters' actions, but out of concern, she eventually followed them.

As the older sister, it is her responsibility to take good care of her younger sister.

So the four sisters left a letter for their parents and then went to the Pokémon Association in Flying Cloud City.

After explaining their purpose, the Pokémon Association staff quickly arranged transportation for them to Raven City.

That is, the thing they are currently riding in, called the Flying Pokémon Taxi.

When they first went into space, both the youngest, Joyce, and the eldest, Joy El, were startled.

But soon, the group discovered the advantages of this mode of transportation.

It's too fast!

This flying taxi was much faster than any of the oxcarts or horse-drawn carriages they had ever seen before!

In the blink of an eye, Feiyun City was left far behind.

Joyce cautiously pressed her head against the car window, carefully observing the situation outside.

Looking out, one is greeted by the vast expanse of the Unova region.

The boundless green plains are dotted with forests, and rivers meander through them like the veins of this land. In the distance, the mountains stand tall, and from this place, you can see almost nothing at all!
Gazing at this magnificent sight, Joyce's pupils gradually dilated, and an unprecedented excitement rose from the bottom of her heart.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

"Little Sha, be careful, don't fall!" El warned worriedly.

"Sister, Xiaoling, come and see! It's spectacular!"

Upon hearing this, the other three sisters could not resist the temptation and leaned their heads to the window. After just one glance, they froze on the spot.

"Okay, so awesome!"

The eldest sister, El, was at a loss for words. She opened her mouth, not knowing how to describe the scene before her, and could only utter "Wow, amazing!"

"It's not just amazing, it's incredibly amazing!" Little Bell's eyes lit up. "If Mom knew we were flying in the sky, she would be shocked!" Just then, the four Joy sisters suddenly noticed the shadow of a city appearing on the ground ahead.

They all turned their gazes in that direction.

The driver in the front seat, who was also the Warriors' partner, turned around with a smile and said:

We're almost in Raven City!

Upon hearing this, the four Joeys immediately shifted their attention from outside the window to Raven City.

"Wow, is that Raven City?" Xiaoling was quite excited; she hadn't forgotten the purpose of their trip to Raven City.

“That’s right, this is His Majesty Raven’s territory. It’s unlike any city you’ve ever seen. You’ll be amazed when we get there!” the driver said with a smile.

"Why do you say that?" El asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Because Raven City is not only a city inhabited by humans, but also home to countless Pokémon," the driver said.

"Pokémon..."

The Joy sisters had seen in the newspaper that Warcraft had been renamed Pokémon.

They are not as afraid of these creatures as others, because there are some gentle Pokémon near the forest where they live.

But what interested them even more was something else.

"What kind of person is His Majesty Raven?" Joey asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, he is the best king in the world!" The driver's tone was full of admiration and respect. "His Majesty not only stopped the war, but also did so much for us ordinary people. It is our honor to serve His Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, the four sisters exchanged glances.

The second sister, Joyce, asked, "Are there Joys in Raven City too?"

"Of course!" The driver scratched his head. "Those two Nurse Joy ladies work at the Pokémon Center in the city!"

"By the way, sir, I have a question for you," Qiao Yiling said.

"what?"

"Um... don't you think it's strange that the four of us look exactly alike?"

"It is a bit strange, but you are all human beings just like us, with eyes, noses, and mouths. Although some people say that getting close to Nurse Joy will bring misfortune, we often go to the Pokémon Center to have Nurse Joy treat our illnesses, and we haven't become unfortunate..."

The driver scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said:

"Oh dear, I'm not good with words, and I don't know how to say it. Anyway, Miss Joey is a very kind person. Thanks to them, Warrior Eagle and I were able to recover from our illnesses so quickly last time. Look, we're here!"

As the city below drew closer, the Warrior Eagle lowered its altitude and then slowly landed on the landing platform of the flying taxi company.

The four Joeys got out of the car.

The driver and the Warriors Eagle waved goodbye to them together.

"See you later! By the way, if you're going to the Pokémon Center, go right after crossing this intersection. There's a red-roofed building on your right; that's the Pokémon Center. Someone will greet you there!"

"Thank you, Uncle!" Qiao Yiling waved vigorously.

The driver smiled, turned around, and went back to his work.

The four sisters turned around and stood on this unfamiliar street, looking around with curiosity.

Pokémon playing with children on the streets, Pokémon perched on rooftops, Pokémon helping people work together, and Pokémon strolling and enjoying food with people...

Underfoot was a clean and tidy red brick path, with shops displaying a dazzling array of goods on both sides. People were dressed in luxurious clothes, long robes made of very precious cashmere, which looked extremely expensive.

The place was so bustling and lively that the four sisters, who came from the countryside and were visiting the city for the first time, couldn't help but feel very reserved.

"Just as the driver said, Pokémon are everywhere here!" Joyce couldn't help but exclaim.

Although Joyce is precocious at home, she still gets very nervous in this unfamiliar environment.

“Sister…” Joymy moved closer to her older sister, Joy El.

“It’s okay, let’s go to the Pokémon Center,” Joyelie said to her three sisters.

Following the driver's directions, they soon found the red-roofed building by the roadside.

This is clearly the Pokémon Center.

The Pokémon Center's doors were open, and as soon as the four sisters entered, they saw quite a few Nurse Joys inside.

Some of the Joeys wore hoods and veils, seemingly to conceal their faces.

Judging from the appearance of these Joeys, they must have come to Raven City from other cities after hearing the news, just like the others.

"Sister, there are so many Joeys here..." Joey couldn't help but whisper.

Joyel held her sister's hand. Although she was the oldest, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.

Just then, a woman named Miss Joey, dressed in a nurse's uniform and wearing a nurse's cap, stepped out from the crowd.

She glanced at everyone, a gentle expression on her face.

"Everyone, don't be nervous or worried. I'm Qiao Yichun, the doctor at this Pokémon Center."

"Welcome everyone here. I believe that you, like us, want to live a normal life in the city, without worrying about being driven away by others or being regarded as an unlucky person."

"Perhaps many of you have had similar experiences before, but I assure you, such a thing will never happen again in Raven City!"

Joey's words echoed in the ears of all the Joeys.

After a long silence, one of the Joeys spoke up and asked, "So what do we need to do?"

"His Majesty Raven has found us suitable jobs. As you can see, we are doctors at Pokémon Centers. Pokémon Centers are being built all over the kingdom, and they are in dire need of staff," Nurse Joy said softly.

"If you are interested, you can sign up here. Afterwards, our teacher, Ms. Lila, will teach you how to become a Pokémon doctor."

"Once everyone has mastered this knowledge, they can go to Pokémon Centers in other cities to serve as doctors."

"Don't worry about being driven away, because we are working for His Majesty Raven."

"Moreover... as long as we sincerely help those people and Pokémon, they will definitely change their opinion of us!"

The group of Joey listened silently.

After a long silence, one of the Joeys spoke up and asked, "Can we really live like normal people?"
