Chapter 606: Goodra Joins, The Five Great Tribes
Heartland of the Dragon Clan.
"Goodra~"
A sleek and elegant Goodra gently fed a purple berry to the edge of Kazuya's mouth.
"Mmh~ not bad, not bad."
Kazuya swallowed it into his mouth and praised her.
"Goodra~"
Another Goodra patiently massaged Kazuya's tail.
"Ah-yo-yo, yes, yes, right there."
Kazuya's tail tip twitched back and forth in pure comfort.
Apart from them.
Several Goomy and Sliggoo were lying on Kazuya's body, using the mucus secreted from their body surface to help him clear away bacteria.
The other members of the Dragon Clan, who were sillily eating berries and meat nearby, stared with wide eyes, completely blankly at this group of newcomers; they were almost dumbfounded.
They didn't understand the concept of over-competition.
But in their hearts, they felt that their own status was threatened.
You couldn't really blame the Goodra clan for acting like green teas.
Kazuya was basically a savior to them, a god who provided timely help in their darkest hour, and furthermore, he was the Big Brother their young master had sworn allegiance to outside.
To the Goodra clan of today.
Kazuya.
Truly was an existence akin to an [Emperor].
And they willingly and gladly revered him as their Emperor.
"Flo-ette."
Floette looked at Kazuya's bear-like behavior and shook her head speechlessly.
If she hadn't seen that his injuries were not yet healed...
Floette would have definitely rushed up and given him a set of chaotic hammer strikes with her Eternal Flower.
"Comfortable~ so comfortable~"
Kazuya lay on the grass, merrily looking up at the blue sky.
After rescuing the Goodra clan in the swamp a few days ago.
He logically and naturally gained the allegiance of the Goodra clan.
And it was the type with 100% loyalty right from the get-go.
Aside from the life-saving grace.
And being Sliggoo's Big Brother.
This was also inseparable from the inherent personality of the Goodra clan itself.
The Goodra clan is an incredibly gentle and kind species; they would even actively protect other Pokémon in the wild.
Even in this brutal Ancient Era.
The Goodra clan was still like this.
Moreover, the Goodra clan has a personality that absolutely detests loneliness.
To the point that if they felt lonely, they would drop little pearls of tears and cry.
Therefore.
The livelier it was in the clan, the better it was for them.
Various reasons synthesized together.
Resulted in the Goodra clan having almost zero resistance to joining the Dragon Clan.
However.
It was worth mentioning.
The personality descriptions mentioned before were all for the ordinary form of Goodra.
The Hisuian form steel dragon...
Its personality was slightly...
Yandere?
They would become furious because their loved one left them, violently striking out to forcefully keep the other party by their side.
But this wasn't a problem for Kazuya.
Anyway, he wasn't going to become Goodra's lover.
Let's look at the strength of the Goodra clan.
It was truly remarkably powerful.
It could be said.
The Goodra clan, by its own individual might, had doubled the strength of the entire Dragon Clan.
The current Goodra clan was the most powerful and massive part of the Dragon Clan.
The Goodra clan totaled over fifty members.
The powerful ones had died in battle while resisting the pursuit of the Arbok clan.
The weak ones had also gradually perished during the escape due to Arbok's poisonous mist.
The remaining ones.
Were basically all within the levels of Lv. 30 to Lv. 55.
There were over twenty Goomy.
Over a dozen Sliggoo.
The remaining less than ten were all Goodra.
Among them, the most powerful individual.
Had a level as high as Lv. 56.
She was also the final protective umbrella of the Goodra clan, one of the factors that made the Overlord Arbok dare not launch a rash attack.
The other six or seven Goodras also had levels above Lv. 50.
How could this not be strong?
One had to know that even the three patriarchs—Bastiodon, Rampardos, and Kommo-o—were only slightly over Lv. 50.
This was equivalent to suddenly adding seven or eight patriarch-level combat assets.
Today's Dragon Clan.
Counting Kazuya himself.
The number of individual combat assets with levels above Lv. 50 had already exceeded 10.
If it was said that the previous Dragon Clan.
Was because of the Poison-type Pokémon's unintentional assist that they luckily claimed a quarter of the grassland's territory.
With some combat power not fitting the position.
Then today.
The Dragon Clan completely possessed the absolute strength to take over this quarter of the land in the north.
The only gap between them and the other grassland Overlords now.
Was the leader gap.
Kazuya's level on this side was a bit lower.
But it shouldn't be ignored that he had only been in this era for a little over a year.
While those other grassland Overlords.
At the very least, started at twenty or thirty years.
An age like Arcanine's was even counted in centuries.
"Roar?"
The restless Charizard (brother-kun) was already starting to consider continuing to conquer the grassland.
But he was suppressed by Kazuya with one hand.
"Take a break, you're not tired but Big Brother is tired."
Kazuya sighed.
He had done quite a lot of things this year.
It was time to take a rest.
Moreover.
The Dragon Clan's current territory was already very large.
It could even be said to be somewhat too large.
So large that daily patrols alone were a hassle.
A population density that is too low is not good.
The matter of expanding territory should wait until the number of Dragon Clan members is a bit larger in the future.
Kazuya now deeply missed the melodramatic TV dramas and adult videos of the League Era.
After eating lunch or dinner.
Lying on the sofa, leaning into Mother Wolf's or Kurumi's embrace to watch an episode was truly immensely cozy.
He remembered in his previous life.
He was enticed by a netizen to sneakily go online and watch a video of a male Gardevoir and a female human.
As a result, he was discovered by Kurumi and got his butt soundly beaten.
Even that netizen was forcefully deleted by Kurumi.
"Meaa."
Sliggoo's thoughts surprisingly aligned perfectly with Charizard's.
However.
Unlike Charizard, who purely wanted to fight.
Sliggoo just wanted to do things for Kazuya; he personally was averse to fighting.
Or rather.
The entire Goodra clan didn't really like fighting.
They would probably get along well with the Bastiodon clan, who were also steel dragons and didn't like fighting either.
"When you evolve, I'll arrange some things for you to do."
Kazuya casually waved his hand.
First setting a small goal for Sliggoo.
He estimated that for Sliggoo to evolve, it would take about half a year or so.
Before that.
The Goodra clan should just honestly rest and multiply within the Dragon Clan.
"Meaa!"
Sliggoo nodded forcefully, his eyes full of earnestness.
He wanted to evolve quickly.
To be of use to his Big Brother.
"Not bad, not bad. Oh right, for the future pasture guarding work, have Sliggoo and the Goomy go help the Shieldons."
Kazuya looked up and said at this time.
The Goodra clan's speed was similarly slow; the patrol task couldn't possibly be entrusted to them.
But they could strengthen the Dragon Clan's defensive forces.
Currently, the five great tribes of the Dragon Clan.
Two omnivores and one carnivore, main attack.
Two herbivores, main defense.
The situation was relatively stable.
What Kazuya was currently thinking about in his heart was the [Aerial Unit].
Being able to fly.
Is just powerful.
This was a thought that had never changed for Kazuya since his first life until now.
In the world of Pokémon.
One would rather trade a hundred points of base stats just to possess the ability to fly.
Unless.
Like Kazuya, one possessed an unconventional method to achieve flight like the Sea Crown.
If the Dragon Clan could obtain an aerial unit.
Their strength would inevitably skyrocket.
In the future, they could even provide cross-regional relief or pursue enemies.
But currently.
The only dragon-grouped Pokémon with flight capabilities that Kazuya knew of.
Was the volcano Charizard clan.
However.
As the one who ran away from that place bringing his little brother.
Kazuya still had somewhat of a concept regarding the strength of the Charizard clan.
The volcanic mountain range was unknown how many times larger than the swamp, and the survival competition pressure was immense.
Being able to become the Overlord clan in this environment, the strength of the Charizard clan was absolutely not something the current grassland Dragon Clan could mess with at all.
Not to mention.
The Charizard clan alone could make a dozen grassland tribes join forces to resist them.
Wanting to subjugate them.
At the current stage, it could only be a passing thought.
Presently.
The two most critical things for the Dragon Clan were.
One was to raise the average level of the Dragon Clan, to put it directly, individual strength.
Not a single Gym Leader level existed.
Let alone fighting the Charizard clan.
They couldn't even cross the southern grassland.
It was also thanks to the northern swamp similarly having no powerful Pokémon, and the complex and crisis-filled terrain separating the rocky mountains and snow mountains on the other side.
Otherwise, the Dragon Clan's geographical location could be described as besieged on all sides.
The other key point.
Was to increase the Dragon Clan's population.
"Mm, let's open a matchmaking assembly... let everyone scout out an object they fancy."
Kazuya scanned the dragons below.
Thanks to his targeted selection of Dragon Clan members, only recruiting dragon-grouped Pokémon.
So the egg group aspect wasn't very worrying.
Apart from the Cyclizar clan which was in the Field group.
Including Charizard, the other four clans all had the Dragon group.
Among them, Charizard, Bastiodon, and Rampardos also possessed the Monster group.
In reality.
In the League Pokédex.
Bastiodon and Rampardos only had the Monster group, not the Dragon group.
The reason Kazuya judged that these two species in the Ancient Era had it, was because within the Dragon Clan, there were cases of them and the Kommo-o clan birthing offspring.
The Kommo-o clan definitely couldn't possibly have the Monster group.
Firstly, their appearance didn't quite fit a monster.
Secondly, the Kommo-o clan looked almost no different between the League Era and the Ancient Era; the egg group shouldn't mutate to that extent.
"Not bad, this idea of mine is very excellent."
The more Kazuya thought about it, the more interesting he found it.
This activity could not only promote reproduction within the clan, but could also act as an entertainment project, just like the sect assemblies in those fantasy novels.
"Flo-ette?"
Floette flew over and sat on Kazuya's chest, looking at Kazuya with a highly suspicious face.
"Floette, a matchmaking assembly will be held tomorrow afternoon; gather all members next to the pasture."
Kazuya hurriedly arranged for his secretary to do it.
Holding the matchmaking assembly next to the pasture.
Was also to prevent some little thieves from slipping into the vacant pasture to mess around while the meeting was being held.
"Flo-ette."
Floette nodded hesitantly.
She didn't quite understand what a matchmaking assembly meant, but she understood the latter few sentences.
"Hehe, the clan will soon add many eggs and babies."
Kazuya grinned at her.
"Flo-ette?!"
Hearing this, Floette's eyes lit up, and she immediately took an immense interest.
She absolutely had to do this matter well!
She wanted many dragon cubs!
