Not a trainer this time

Early the next morning, Zhishu was standing by the farmland watching Kuailong watering the crops, when Ivan suddenly ran in from outside on a motorcycle lizard.

From a long distance away, he excitedly shouted at Zhishu: "Zaoshu, what you told me last time has come to fruition!"

Hearing this, Naoki was slightly taken aback, wondering what he could tell Ivan.

But then, he remembered that he had asked Ivan to help him find the housekeeper Pokémon at the spring race last time.

Butler Pokémon...

Naoki's heart moved, and he quickly said: "Tell me!"

Aiwen jumped off the motorcycle lizard and said in detail:

"The thing is like this. I received a letter a few days ago, and that person asked me to deliver the letter to a person in Glass Bottle City next door."

"That man lives in a very large manor. When I sent the letter, I heard that the owner of that manor is looking for a suitable person to take care of the two caretakers!"

"Didn't I think you needed a housekeeper Pokémon at the time! So I went to ask about it. A very frail old man received me. He asked me some information about you, and then let me have time to take you to see it. look."

Love to wait? or two?

Naoki looked surprised: "Two?"

Ai Wen nodded: "That's right, two stewards with rich housekeeping experience!"

Naoki was a little puzzled: "How could that person send such a Pokémon away?"

Ai Wen shook his head: "I don't know about that. He only has one request, and that is to take good care of the two caretakers. Let's see when you have time. Let's go there together."

"I have time now." Saying that, Naoki turned his head and walked towards the house, ready to change his clothes: "Which city are you from?"

Aiwen: "Bottle City is very close to us, and you can get there within two hours by riding a motorcycle lizard."

"Okay." Naoki nodded.

He turned around and went back to the house to change his clothes, then took the change and the backpack, and told Gullerton to take care of the ranch. He would not be back until the afternoon. There was food in the refrigerator, and he remembered to give it to everyone at noon.

So Leton nodded, and obediently agreed, without being jealous.

"Hey, I'll cook something delicious for you later."

Naoki touched its head, and then, like Ivan, rode on the motorcycle lizard.

The two left the ranch and headed towards the target city.

On the way, Naoki asked curiously, "Aren't you going to work today?"

Ai Wen looked confused: "Today is the weekend! The post office is closed for two days, so you don't have to go to work!"

Naoki: "..."

Good guy, he forgot about this one.

Ai Wen smiled and said, "You don't live alone until you forget the date?"

"No." Naoki said truthfully: "I just didn't expect that you would take two days off at once without having to work overtime, which is really enviable."

Ai Wen was speechless: "Is the work in the ranch so tiring?"

"That's not true," Naoki said.

With so many Pokémon to help, his usual work can be said to be very easy, except that he will be busy when plowing the land and planting crops, and he has to prepare a lot of food every day.

Although tired, seeing so many Pokémon living in the ranch is also a kind of happiness to him.

He just thinks that this world is really easy. There is no need to work overtime, and two days off a week. In his previous life, except for a specific job, this is something a social animal would never dare to think about.

But he had no way to tell Ai Wen about the specific reason, so he could only change the subject: "I haven't been to Bottle City yet!"

Ai Wen didn't think much about it, and said with a smile when he heard this: "Boping City is much bigger than our Zanqin Town! It is a famous water city, and it is also known as the water town of Zeguo."

Naoki recalled the map of the Padia region in his mind.

Zhuqin Town is located in the northwest of the map, while Bottle City is located in the central area of ​​the Padia region, next to the giant pit of Padia, separated from Zhuqin Town by a vast desert.

Thinking of this, Naoki asked: "Do you want to go to the desert first?"

Ai Wen shook his head: "No, the desert is too dangerous, the Pokémon there are very aggressive, and the weather is still very hot, today we take the road, this road is officially built by the alliance, there are no dangerous Pokémon on the road Dream, you can walk with confidence."

Naoki nodded and said nothing more.

The two walked along the main road.

Because of Aiwen's words, Naoki carefully observed the Pokémon on the side of the road, and as expected, he found that they were the same as Aiwen said, they were all small, gentle and non-aggressive Pokémon.

Apart from them along the way, you can occasionally see a few trucks passing by, backpackers camping in the fields, or trainers engaging in Pokémon battles.

If you run with all your strength, the speed of the motorcycle lizard can be said to be no less than that of a real motorcycle. It is said that the fastest speed can reach 120km per hour.

Time passed by, the sun rose high, and the temperature in the air became hot. At this moment, a bustling and bustling city finally appeared in front of it.

"It's here!" Ivan said happily.

Naoki looked up and saw that the entire Bottle City was located on a cliff. Because of the terrain, the entire city was divided into three floors.

Through Bottle City, he saw a stretch of steep cliffs in a more distant place, the top of which could not be seen with the naked eye, and was blocked by white clouds.

"That should be the giant pit of Padia, right?" Naoki thought to himself.

It has to be said that just by looking from the outside, one can feel the magnificence and majesty of the Padia crater, and one does not know what it looks like inside.

Naoki wanted to go in and take a look, but I'm afraid he won't get permission.

The two entered Bottle City, Naoki got off the motorcycle lizard, and the motorcycle lizard transformed into an upright form, walking on the street with him.

A layer of blue and white floor tiles is laid on the street, and a beautiful fountain park can be seen from a distance. A huge and spectacular water curtain flows down from the top floor, connecting the entire city.

People in hot bikinis and shorts hang around leisurely, and there is a lively atmosphere everywhere.

Ai Wen looked at this scene and said with a smile: "Look, it's very energetic, right?"

"yes!"

Naoki nodded. Glass Bottle City gave him the feeling that he had come to Venice, the capital of water, and he could see things related to water everywhere.

However, they didn't have much time to appreciate it. They took the elevator to the third floor, and Aiwen turned a corner, walked through the lively urban area, and arrived at a luxurious manor.

There were two guards standing in front of the manor, and the two stepped forward, and Aiwen showed them his intention of coming.

Hearing this, the guard on the left looked at Naoki for a moment, then stepped aside, opened the door, and said respectfully:

"Master has been waiting for you for a long time, please come in!"

Master... This title sounds really rare, Naoki couldn't help cursing in his heart.

He followed Ivan into the manor, looking at the vast land in front of him, Naoki's first reaction was that this place is too big, right?

Ai Wen whispered: "I was also taken aback when I came here for the first time! But don't worry, the owner here is very kind, and he doesn't have the airs of those rich people on TV."

Naoki nodded and continued to move forward, but soon, they found themselves lost in this huge manor.

Aiwen: "... Strange, did I remember wrongly? Why isn't it this way?"

Looking at the huge garden maze around him, Naoki finally realized something was wrong.

He asked, "Didn't anyone lead the way when you came here last time?"

Along the way, none of them saw a single person.

Aiwen: "Yes! There were quite a few people in the manor last time! The gardener pruning the garden, the housekeeper in black tuxedo, the maid watering..."

While talking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Huh? Why is there no one today."

Zhishu thought of the plot in the movie and asked, "Could it be a ghost manor? Just like in the movie, everyone is turned into a ghost, and they trick people into killing them."

It just so happened that a gust of wind blew by at this time, as if something was staring at them in the dark.

Ai Wen was very scared: "Don't scare me!"

The two motorcycle lizards following them were also very frightened, and tremblingly said: "Gah..."

Naoki: "...I was just joking."

Alvin breathed a sigh of relief.

Naoki said again: "But there are indeed ghosts in this world."

Ivan and the two motorcycle lizards opened their eyes wide. They shuttled through the garden maze. They were afraid and wanted to know when they heard this.

"Have you seen it?" Ivan asked.

Naoki nodded: "I saw it when I was traveling in the Galar region."

Then, he vividly described how he met a little ghost girl and helped her deliver the letter to an old friend, only to find that her old friend was an old man in his sixties or seventies.

The old man said that the little girl was his childhood sweetheart when he was a child, and he never saw him again when he grew up.

Naoki: "This means that the girl died when she was a child, and turned into a ghost wandering the streets."

After hearing this story, Ivan hugged his motorcycle lizard tightly in fright.

Naoki laughed and said, "Is it really that scary?"

Ivan and his motorcycle lizard nodded at the same time.

Naoki wanted to say something more, but when he turned his head, he saw his motorcycle lizard and was also very scared.

"Gah..."

"Don't be afraid!"

Naoki patted the motorcycle lizard on the shoulder, then held its paw, comforting it in this way.

Seeing that the motorcycle lizard was not so scared, he continued to move forward and said:

"Actually, that girl's ghost is not malicious. Someone once said that the ghosts you are afraid of are people that others miss day and night, but never see again."

"And after I helped her deliver the letter, she also left me a gift, which is a cloth of the spiritual world that contains amazing power."

"Look, if you think about it this way, you won't be so scared, right?" Naoki spread his hands, although these were only things he encountered in the game.

Ai Wen felt better now, he thought about the words carefully, nodded and said: "Indeed."

He still wanted to say something more, but at this moment, the two finally passed through the garden maze, and saw a very beautiful fountain on the front lawn.

Next to the fountain, there is a circle of Pokémon.

There are new leaf meow, dumb fire crocodile, moist water duck, cloth dial, a pair of mice, paparazzi bag...

Seeing these rare Pokémon suddenly, Naoki couldn't help being surprised.

But soon, he noticed the little guy surrounded by this group of Pokémon.

Ivan also saw it, it was a meow.

To be precise, it was an injured meow.

"It's hurt!" Ivan exclaimed.

The group of Pokémon also noticed them and turned their heads.

They don't seem to be intimidated by strangers.

Seeing this, Naoki stepped forward and checked the condition of the meow. Seeing that it was very weak, he took out a bottle of fruit juice milk from his backpack to restore his strength.

He originally prepared this for the motorcycle lizard. He was afraid that the motorcycle lizard would get thirsty if the road was too far away, so he specially brought a few bottles.

Didn't expect it to come in handy here.

The meow drank the whole bottle of juice and milk in one go, and its wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The surrounding group of Pokémon showed surprise in their dreamlike faces, and all cast curious gazes at the human being.

Meow stood up: "Meow~"

Seeing its energetic appearance, Naoki smiled and said, "Alright, remember to be more careful next time."

"Meow~"

A group of Pokémon jumped and ran away. They ran into the garden maze and started playing hide-and-seek.

Looking at this scene, Ivan once again felt the arrogance of the owner of the manor:

"Isn't the purpose of building this garden maze to play hide-and-seek for these Pokémon?

Naoki: "At present, it looks like this."

He wondered if he should build a small maze in the ranch later to play hide and seek.

Ai Wen murmured: "It's so rich!"

Naoki smiled and looked up at the building in front: "Let's go! That should be the destination."

Rounding the garden fountain, they finally saw a third person besides themselves.

It was a maid wearing an apron and cleaning with a broom.

Naoki stepped forward and politely introduced his identity and the purpose of coming here to the other party.

After listening, the maid smiled and nodded, she turned around with the broom and said, "Please come with me! Master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Hearing this, Naoki always felt that something was not quite right.

He looked at Ai Wen, and Ai Wen seemed to have discovered nothing.

The two followed the maid into the big villa.

Pushing open the door, Naoki saw an old man in a blue kimono with pale hair, wrinkled face and a slightly tired expression on the sofa in the villa hall.

On the left and right sides of the old man, there are two Pokémon that look similar.

They have two horns on their heads, but one horn is up and the other is down.

The upward eye is half-closed and expressionless, while the downward one has a gentle expression, and the corner of the mouth is raised, showing a smile that can bring people a good impression.

love to wait...

The information of the two Pokémon emerged in Naoki's mind, except that one was male and the other was female.

They stood beside the old man respectfully, looking at the few people who pushed the door and entered.

"Is it them?" Naoki thought to himself.

They came to the old man under the leadership of the maid.

At this time, the old man spoke and said, "You guys are finally here, please sit down first."

The two nodded, and then sat on the sofa opposite the old man.

"Hello." Zhishu greeted politely: "I am Zhishu, and I am currently running a ranch in Zuoqin Town. Next to me is my partner and assistant, Motor Lizard."

The old man nodded slightly, and murmured softly: "The rancher..."

After a while, he continued: "Just call me Sato, what do you think? Can he?"

As he spoke, the old man turned his head and asked the two caretakers next to him.

"Aiu." The male love steward on the left nodded calmly.

The female caretaker on the right looked at Naoki and gave him a gentle smile: "Aiu~"

Seeing their reactions, the old man laughed: "That's good, I think he is also a good choice, he can take good care of those two children."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Naoki couldn't react: "Excuse me, Mr. Sato, what do you mean?"

Seeing his expression, the old man guessed what was going on in his mind - he probably thought it was these two caring servants.

He laughed loudly, shook his head and said, "They have been with me for more than 20 years. I am reluctant to give them to others to take care of them. The ones I want to adopt are their children."

"Just to be honest, Naoki, when you came here just now, I saw what you did, and you passed a little test I set for you."

Naoki was slightly taken aback, and then the injured meow next to the fountain appeared in his mind.

The old man said with a smile: "Being able to rescue a Pokémon you have never met before shows that you are a very caring person."

"Also, that ghost story you told in the garden was wonderful... the ghosts you're afraid of are people that other people dream about but never see again, yeah!"

Speaking of this, the old man seemed to have thought of something, but he quickly recovered and continued:

"Of course, it's not important. What's important is that when the Motor Lizard was scared, you comforted it in time and held its hand. This shows that you are very patient with Pokémon."

Hearing this, Naoki couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Seeing his expression, the old man couldn't help but said: "Please forgive me, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, I heard from the servant that you entered the garden maze by mistake."

"Because there are usually many Pokémon playing around there, for their safety, I have people install a lot of monitoring probes there."

Naoki shook his head: "It's okay."

"In that case, please come with me!" The old man stood up and led the way.

Naoki and Ai Wen glanced at each other, then raised their heels up, and finally came to a very warmly decorated baby room.

There, Naoki sees two lovable servants playing with toys.

They are small in size and look like they have just been born.

The old man introduced: "This is their child, just two weeks old, they are brothers and sisters, do you want to go up and get to know them?"

Naoki nodded, then walked forward and squatted in front of the two caring attendants.

Feeling the strange atmosphere, the brothers and sisters turned their heads to look at the stranger.

Ai Guanshi's sister opened her eyes wide, and then showed an innocent smile: "Hey ~ ah!"

Although the elder brother on the side was still young, his expression looked like a little adult. Seeing his sister being so enthusiastic towards strangers, he showed a disapproving expression on his face.

Naoki took out two bottles of juice milk and two lucky puddings from his backpack.

He didn't feed them right away, but turned around and asked, "Mr. Sato, can they have some snacks?"

The old man and the two adult love guards stood aside and watched the movements of him and the two little love guards, nodded and said: "Of course."

With permission, Naoki fed them juice milk and lucky pudding.

He plugged in the straw, and when the caretaker sister smelled the smell, she reached out and hugged the bottle, sucking up the milk without a teacher.

"Hey~!" It took a big sip before stopping.

Naoki unpacked the lucky pudding again and fed it.

The little sister Ai Guan waited happily to take it, and when it ate the whole piece of pudding, the way it looked at it became different.

"Hey! Hey!"

Ai Guan waiter sister waved her hands, wanting to hug.

Naoki stretched out his hand to hug it, feeling the soft touch of the fur in his hand, he couldn't help but make his movements very lightly.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Naoki looked at Brother Aiguanshi who was beside him.

Brother Ai Guanshi half-closed his eyes, still looking at his sister with disapproval.

Naoki pushed the bottle in front of it with the other hand: "Try it?"

Looking at the milk bottle close at hand, Brother Ai Guan Shi was stunned, it smelled the smell of milk coming from it.

"Gudong!"

Swallowing his saliva quietly, Brother Ai Guan Shi finally couldn't help but stepped forward to take a sip.

Seeing this scene, Naoki laughed cheerfully.

Quite cute.

However, upon hearing his laughter, Brother Ai Guan Shi immediately returned to his little adult appearance, blushing and turning his head away in embarrassment, pretending nothing happened.

Naoki didn't say much, just played with Ai Guanshi's sister for a while.

The two adult caretakers behind watched this scene tenderly, and began to communicate in a low voice.

"Love."

"Love~"

Hearing their communication, a gentle smile appeared on the old man's face: "It seems that the brothers and sisters like him very much."

The old man turned his head to look at the two caretakers again, and asked again: "Are you sure? It's him?"

The two caretakers nodded seriously.

"Love."

————

Ten minutes later, the younger sister who loves to serve her was tired from playing, so she and her brother started to sleep together.

They are still small and need a lot of time to rest every day.

The group returned to the living room downstairs.

The old man said: "If possible, I want to give them to you after they can do things. One is that we will teach them to do housework during this time, and the other is that I hope that I can let the caretaker watch the two children grow up." , they can rest assured."

"Of course, no problem." Naoki nodded and agreed without hesitation.

He also loves the two little Eggs, but keeping them with their parents is a big deal for them.

Seeing his promise, the old man was very happy: "Then please tell me your address, and when they grow up, I will send them to your ranch for a maximum of two months."

The growth rate of Pokémon is very fast. Like Aiguanshi, it can grow from a small size to a normal size within three months.

"Okay." Zhishu had no objection, he told the other party the detailed address of the ranch, and finally asked, "Do I need to pay a deposit or something?"

"There is no need for this." The old man shook his head lightly: "We only have one request, and that is to take good care of the two little loves and servants."
