Not a trainer this time

At night, the room is brightly lit.

Naoki sat in front of the desk, listening to the melodious chirping of insects from outside, took a pen and wrote down the formula and production process of [Green Grass Cake] on his cookbook.

Guluton, Motor Lizard, Cream Fairy, and Fast Dragon all went out to play.

After summer, if the weather is fine, you can see a large number of fireflies by the river every day.

With the bright moonlight, the beautiful starry sky, and the vast grassland, it is like a natural pastoral scenery like an oil painting.

And a group of Pokémon has also become a member of the oil painting, where they are carefree, playing and living freely.

Naoki didn't go out to play with them.

Because there is still something at home waiting for him to deal with.

Looking at the scribbled map of the ranch drawn during the day, Naoki fell into deep thought.

"The facilities in the ranch are not yet complete. There are chicken huts, Pokémon huts and salt houses, but there are still some ranch facilities that have not been built."

"The barn for storing grain, the hydraulic mill for grinding wheat into flour, the greenhouse for planting all year round, and the stables can also be prepared first."

Looking at this map, Naoki drew the facilities that had already been built on it, and then made a simple plan for the facilities that had not yet been built according to his own ideas.

"The water mill is built in front of the chicken hut, and there is a river there, and the water wheel on the mill can be turned by the power of the water flow."

"The barn... This can be built next to the Pokémon house, and the stable can be built next to the sheepfold."

As for the greenhouse, Naoki intends to build it next to the farmland.

He quickly drew the approximate location of these facilities on the map.

In this case, there is still a large open space in the pasture that has not come in handy.

Naoki turned his eyes to the west side of the pasture, where there was a vast pasture.

He picked up a pen and drew a circle on it, thinking: "This place can be opened up separately, planted with fruit trees, and transformed into an orchard."

Just like the many cherry trees in the Eriv cherry orchard, if they can't finish eating, they can also share it with wild Pokémon like baby bears living in the back mountain.

In addition, the farmland also needs to expand the planting scale.

But the premise is that he has to subdue one or more Pokémon who can only use the "plow land" move.

So that Pokémon plows the land, he spreads the seeds and fertilizes, the fast dragon waters, the goat rides to help the crops grow, and then harvests together.

This would make it much easier, otherwise he would really be too busy alone.

In this way, the matter of laying the red brick path will not be so urgent.

Or wait for all the facilities to be built before making specific plans.

Then, Naoki leaned back in the chair, thinking about the recent events in the ranch in his mind.

After the salt stone treasure evolved into the salt stone barrier, their size and weight have been greatly improved.

It's okay to only have one now. If the other four evolve, then the current salt house will not be enough.

Regarding this point, Naoki has two solutions in his mind.

The first is to expand the scale of the salt house.

The second is to let them dig holes, increase the depth of the salt house, and create a cave underneath for the salt rock barrier and the salt rock giant to live in.

It's just that the salt and stone base can't dig holes yet, and this matter can only be pushed back temporarily.

Then, there is the matter of Ibrahimovic.

Creamy smoothies can help it get stronger, but so far it hasn't had much success, as Ibra doesn't eat creamy smoothies as often, and doesn't eat them like the mount goat does.

In addition to these, there are also his previous ideas about the trial of green grass.

The first level of the Green Grass Trial, a battle with a mounted goat.

The second level is to fight with two goats on mounts at the same time.

In the third level, you need to face the joint attack of three mount goats at the same time.

Thinking of this, Naoki turned his attention to the map of the ranch again. He looked at the unused space under the goat's pen, took out a pen and drew a simple battlefield on it.

"Here, a battle field can be specially built for battle."

So the next morning, Naoki started to get busy.

He used a lawnmower to mow all the grass on the meadow and cut out a rectangular open space.

In order to test the size of the battle field, Naoki made Gulaton and the motorcycle lizards stand at the two ends respectively.

Naoki observed it, and said thoughtfully, "It's a bit small."

Fearing that the Pokémon would not be able to use it, he expanded the battle area again.

Seeing that it was almost done, he nodded in satisfaction, and then asked Guleton to dry the soil with jet flames, and finally took out a bucket of white paint from the utility room, and drew signs and edge lines on the land.

Soon, a battlefield similar to that in the anime was built.

Naoki patted the ashes on his hands, carried the paint bucket and put it back in the utility room.

Next, wait for the target to come to your door.

There's just one more problem.

Pure practice may not be so attractive to some trainers.

Naoki couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

What if some prizes are set on it?

As for the type of prize, Naoki hasn't figured it out yet.

Anyway, there are three levels in the Green Grass Trial, and it is impossible for someone to pass all of them in a short period of time. Wait for someone to pass, and there is no hurry now.

Thinking of this, Naoki temporarily put the matter aside.

His eyes were on the farmland.

At this time, the farmland area has been completely enveloped by a strong green light.

Three mounted goats stand at three corners of the farmland, using the green grass field from different angles, so as to ensure that each crop can be fully taken care of.

Looking at this scene, Zhishu was full of anticipation: "I don't know what kind of magical crops the riding goats can breed."

Will it be a glowing tomato or an icy watermelon like in the game? Or will it grow super huge and huge crops like in Stardew Valley?

If it's the former, fine.

If it's the latter, I'm afraid that one watermelon is enough for them to eat for several weeks.

Naoki stood there watching for a while, then got up and walked across the pasture to the pasture in the southwest corner of the pasture.

He is going to develop a tree orchard here.

Although he had already planted a few on the farmland before, those were too few.

In addition to saving these berries to make delicious Baofen, they can also be used to squeeze juice and feed wild Pokémon.

For example, the group of ducks on the other side of the river.

Pokémon like the Duck are also very cute. If you have a good relationship with them, you may be able to hire them to help in the future.

Like the Junimos in Stardew Valley and the seven dwarfs in Harvest Moon, they can help harvest crops.

Thinking of this, Naoki roughly checked the environment in this area.

If you want to develop an orchard here, you have to get rid of these grasses first to prevent them from competing with the saplings for nutrients.

When it comes to planting trees, Naoki suddenly remembered a very interesting thing, an interesting story about Boss Cordora, a steel-type and rock-type Pokémon.

It is said that Boscodora will keep patrolling the mountains. If they find that the mountains have become barren, they will continue to transport soil, plant saplings, and clean up their territory beautifully.

Even though he is such a strong and huge monster-type Pokémon, he has a hobby as simple and unpretentious as a tree-planting old farmer.

I have to say that Pokémon Boss Kedora is really interesting, with a cute contrast.

"It would be great if I could tame one, and let it help manage my tree orchard." Zhishu thought to himself.

However, it is a pity that there does not seem to be Boscodora in the Padia region.

There is in the nearby Galar area, but he has no time to go there yet.

Just as Naoki was thinking about this matter in his heart, Ba Dahu suddenly flew over, and he knew:

"Hey!"

"What's the matter?" Naoki looked over and saw Ba Dahu's appearance, he guessed: "A guest came to visit the ranch?"

"Hey~" Ba Dahu nodded slightly.

Um? Naoki was a little surprised.

Who will visit the ranch this early in the morning?

He raised his feet and returned to the front together with Ba Dahu.

Soon, Zhishu saw a cowardly figure in front of the ranch.

It was a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old. She had short purple hair. She was squatting in front of the pasture, covering her ears and closing her eyes, like a little hamster, mumbling in her mouth without knowing what she was talking about. .

"Hello!" Naoki raised his eyebrows slightly, and stepped forward to greet the other party.

But the other party did not respond.

He walked forward, and only after getting closer did he hear what the girl said.

She looked a little frightened, and kept saying "I can't see me, I can't see me, I can't see me".

Naoki: "..."

"Hello? Can you hear me?" Naoki waved his hand.

Seeing that the girl didn't respond, he asked the Frost Milk Fairy who came to watch to pat her on the shoulder to remind her.

The Frost Milk Fairy did so, and happily stepped forward to pat the girl with its little hand.

"Mama~"

But in the next second, the girl screamed as if she was frightened, and then fell down and sat on the grass.

Seeing that she could hear her, Naoki asked again: "How are you? Do you need help?"

"Ah! I'm very sorry! I didn't mean to bother you! Please forgive me!" The girl stood up from the ground quickly and kept apologizing.

Naoki looked confused.

And at this moment, a man ran over from not far away.

It was a slightly bloated middle-aged man with brown hair and wearing a brown shirt.

Naoki recognized the other party's identity.

He is Eero, the owner of the seed shop in the town.

Ai Luo ran forward, pulled the girl, and comforted him: "It's all right, it's all right!"

Then, he explained to Naoki: "I'm very sorry, this is my daughter Bell. Because she encountered something when she was a child, she has been afraid to go out and has been hiding at home."

"Today, I wanted her to try to get in touch with the outside world, and come over to help me tell the nearby rancher that a new batch of tree seedlings has arrived in the seed shop of Ello, but as you can see, it failed..."

Arlo sighed, looking at the girl beside him with a sad face.

Because he was worried, he kept following.

Naoki understood, and he roughly understood what was going on in his heart.

He didn't pay much attention to it, but said: "So afraid of the outside world, it should be caused by psychological factors, right?"

He doesn't know much about this matter.

Arrow nodded, with a sad face: "Yes, we have invited a psychiatrist to come for treatment before, but it didn't work."

Naoki nodded. He glanced at the girl and didn't say much, but said that he would go to the store to buy a batch of fruit tree seedlings in a while.

Then Arrow took the girl and left.

The Milk Fairy looked at their backs: "Mama..."

Naoki said to Cream Fairy: "This should be called severe social terror."

The Frost Milk Fairy looked over with a puzzled expression.

Naoki explained: "It is because of some reasons that people become very afraid of things outside, afraid of communicating with strangers, and only willing to stay in places they think are safe, such as home or their own room."

Commonly known as squatting at home.

"Mama..." Milk Fairy Frost tried hard to think about the meaning of these words, but she didn't understand at all.

It thought of the girl he just photographed, and she looked scared, and the Frost Milk Fairy couldn't help asking: "Mama?"

Naoki asked: "Are you asking if that disease can be cured? Is that so?"

"Mama!" The Milk Fairy nodded.

"I don't know, because I'm not a psychiatrist." Naoki shook his head, smiled and touched Milk Fairy's little head, and said to it: "Okay, you go play! I have to go to work! "

He went to the utility room, returned to the field with a hoe and a sickle, cut off all the weeds on it with the sickle, and then turned the land with a hoe to make it soft.

Zhishu didn't stop until twenty holes were dug out.

Standing beside him with a hoe to rest, he looked at the land, and a scene of the near future appeared in his mind.

At that time, it has become a tree orchard full of fruits, with heavy plump fruits hanging on the branches, and a lot of sweet and delicious juice will splash out after one bite.

Some small and cute wild Pokémon like chinchilla and chinchilla were attracted.

He stood under the tree, fed these Pokémon with berries, and then hugged all the furry in his arms and ravaged them.

It's beautiful!

A smile appeared on Naoki's face, he turned and went back to the front, put the farm tools back in the utility room, and just after washing the handles, he heard an energetic voice.

"Mr. Naoki!"

Naoki turned around, and saw a familiar figure running over from outside the ranch.

It was a boy, a boy with blond curly hair, fair skin, and an appearance from a big city.

Seeing him, Naoki was surprised.

The boy said happily: "Mr. Naoki, do you still remember me?"

"Of course I remember, Carter, right?" Naoki asked.

Carter, who passed by the pasture a few months ago, mistook the green caterpillar for a wild Pokémon, sent a messenger bird to fight the green caterpillar, but was killed by the green caterpillar's unexpected power grid.

Seeing Naoki still remembering himself, Carter nodded happily: "Yes!"

"Why do you have time to come here? Are the school classes not busy?" Naoki asked.

"The college's courses are very relaxed. Most of the time, the students are traveling in the Padia area to hunt for treasure. I came here today to challenge the green caterpillar!"

Carter's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

"Messenger Bird and I have gone through three months of devil-style special training, and we are no longer what we used to be. This time we will definitely win back!" He said.

Naoki: "..."

He looked at Ba Dahu not far away, and said: "Yes, yes, it's just that the green caterpillar has evolved into Ba Dahu, and I don't know if it is willing to fight with you. You know, after evolution, Poké The character of the dream will change to a certain extent."

"Ah?" Carter was dumbfounded: "Then what should I do?"

Hey, hooked.

A "pure" smile appeared on Naoki's face, and he said to Carter: "However, there are other Pokémon in the ranch who are willing to fight, oh yes, you came at the right time."

"My ranch is holding an event called [Grass Trial], which can help Pokémon practice through battles. Do you want to try it?"
