Not a trainer this time

By the time Zhishu finished his work on the ranch, it was almost noon.

I have to say that there is such a big watermelon in the pasture, which is really eye-catching.

Before making lunch, Naoki came to the field again, circling around the big watermelon, sometimes stopping to observe, sometimes stretching out his hand to pat it.

[Huge watermelon: A kind of huge crop, influenced by the green grass energy of the mount goat, combined with some mysterious power. ]

Looking at the description of this watermelon, combined with what happened yesterday, the owner of "a certain mysterious power" is already obvious.

After a moment of contemplation, Naoki went back indoors and started making lunch.

Today's lunch is still fried steak and sandwiches, plus lucky pudding, honey lemonade, small bread, and berries, and a not-so-great lunch is ready.

Although monotonous, it is the favorite of several Pokémon.

The deep-fried thick cut steak is tender and juicy, the sandwich with lettuce, tomato and patty is nutritionally balanced, and the common tree fruit can also provide a lot of nutrition for the Pokémon's body.

Drinking a glass of honey lemonade after dinner, sitting in the shade under the eaves and eating small bread and berries while blowing the wind, even the arrogant Bingyibu showed a satisfied expression on his face.

A group of Pokémon such as Guluton, Motor Lizard, Kuailong, Butubo, Bingeb, and Frost Fairy each took a glass of lemonade, and sat in a row under the eaves from the oldest to the youngest.

Looking at them, Naoki smiled and shook his head, then sat down at the desk and began to think about the guests he would invite tomorrow.

First of all, Mayor Thomas, who took good care of him, must be invited.

The old man has been helping him since he first came here, not only that, but also gave him a motorcycle lizard as an assistant.

Then there were the people he knew in town.

Keri who lives by the forest, Ivan the postman, the family of the owner of the seed store Ero, the old man of Happy Ranch and his granddaughter Xiaomei, and Zach who comes to the ranch every day to receive goods.

Finally, there are farmers on nearby farms.

For example, the Eriv family in Eriv Cherry Orchard, Lei in Thunder Ranch, Little Green in Light Green Ranch, Mrs. Pollan in Bobby Farm...

Naoki imitated the town's way of announcing the festival, wrote a letter to everyone, and then called Kuailong, and put part of it in its small red satchel.

"Aww?" Kuailong looked puzzled as Zhishu put the satchel around its neck.

Naoki: "Please send these letters to Mr. Elief in Elifu's Cherry Orchard, Mrs. Dantès and Mr. Arrow who live in the town."

Send a letter?

Kuailong nodded, accepted it readily, and then flew to the town with ease.

And Naoki contacted Ivan by phone.

Because he had never been to other pastures except Erivel Cherry Orchard, and he didn't know the location, so he simply handed them all over to Ivan and asked him to help deliver them there.

Aiwen, who was working, rushed over immediately after receiving the call.

Naoki handed him the rest of the letter and asked, "Are you free tomorrow morning?"

"Tomorrow morning?" Ivan was a little surprised: "What's wrong? Do you have anything to ask me for help?"

"No." Zhishu shook his head: "I just want to invite you to come to the ranch to participate in an event. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I will hold a watermelon eating conference here."

"Watermelon? Where's the watermelon?"

Hearing this, Ai Wenxin said that the watermelons should have just been planted this season, right?

Although it can be planted in a greenhouse, it seems that Naoki Ranch does not have a greenhouse yet.

Ivan turned his head and looked around, and the next second, he saw a super huge watermelon in the farmland.

Alvin: "!!!"

He was shocked: "Is that the watermelon I know?"

Naoki laughed and said, "Why don't you go and have a look?"

Alvin went to see it.

He ran to the farmland, walked around the big watermelon twice, reached out to touch it, and saw that the watermelon was still connected to the vine and had not been picked.

What does this mean?

This shows that this big watermelon is not a model, it is real!

Aiwen was extremely shocked in his heart, he turned his head to look at Naoki, and exclaimed: "How did you grow it?"

"You really want to know?" Naoki asked.

"Of course, tell me quickly!" Ivan paused, turned his head to look around, and whispered: "I promise not to tell anyone!"

"Then come with me!" Naoki led him to the statue of King Leiguan: "All this is the gift of this Pokémon."

Looking at the Pokémon with a particularly big head in the shrine, Ivan couldn't help asking: "That... what Pokémon?"

"The King of Plenty, King Leiguan." Naoki briefly introduced the legend of King Leiguan to Aiwen.

Although half of it is due to the mount goat, as long as he feeds the grass cake to King Lei Guan in the future, then King Lei Guan can do it himself.

After all, it is also a grass-type Pokémon.

Under Ivan's shocked gaze, Naoki added:

"If you grow something in your home, you can also trust the king of buds, or put up a statue to worship him like me, and he will bless the things you plant to have a good harvest."

Ai Wen swallowed, nodded and said, "I see." There are such powerful Pokémon in this world!

"Where did you buy your idol?" Ivan asked quickly.

Decided! He also wants to buy one and take it home!

His grandma likes to grow things very much. There are many fruit trees and gardens in the yard.

"Uh... I made this myself." Naoki thought for a while, and then said: "Perhaps after a while, you can buy it in Keri's store."

He plans to go back and cooperate with Keli to see if he can mass-produce the statue of King Leiguan. He will provide the pattern, and Keli will be responsible for making the wood carvings, and then sell them to nearby farmers after polishing.

Ai Wen nodded: "I'll take a look later!"

Because he still had work, he didn't stay in the ranch for too long. After receiving the letter from Naoki, Ivan turned and left.

He had to get the letters somewhere before dark.

After he left, Naoki contacted Mayor Thomas with a videophone and invited him to come here to participate in an event tomorrow.

Mayor Thomas readily agreed and said that he would definitely be there.

Seeing this, Naoki was relieved.

After everything was done, the time came to 4:40 in the afternoon.

Looking at his pasture and the green grass.

Zhishu thought: "Then, the only thing left is to arrange the venue."

There are not enough tables, chairs and benches at home, and it is impossible for him to let everyone sit on the grass and eat watermelons in their hands, that would be too impolite.

Naoki was worried, as it was impossible for him to raise so many tables and chairs in a short period of time.

And at this moment, the sound of a truck starting suddenly came from outside the ranch.

Naoki turned his head and saw Keri driving the truck to the ranch.

Followed by Ivan riding a motorcycle lizard.

Keri parked the truck in the ranch, and directed her strange force partner to remove everything from the truck.

Naoki stepped forward to take a look, and suddenly found that all of them were items for setting up the event venue.

Tables, chairs, benches, celebration balloons...

Naoki froze for a moment, a little puzzled: "This is?"

Ivan walked up to him, put his shoulders on his shoulders, looked at Keri who directed the strange force to move things with him, and explained with a smile:

"Isn't this your first time holding an event? Keri and I thought you just came here, and you don't have enough experience and there aren't enough tables, so let's come over and help you set up the venue, how about it?"

"It was a great help!" Naoki was grateful in his heart.

Keri walked forward with a smile: "I have to charge for all of these!"

Naoki: "...how much?"

"Five watermelons!" Keli stretched out her hand and counted the number of people with her fingers: "One for each of the two monsters, one for each of the two veteran builders, and one for me."

Naoki immediately understood what she meant, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll make sure it's enough!"

Keri: "Then come over and help prepare!"

So Naoki took Guleton and Motor Lizard to move the table and chairs.

Ivan and his motorcycle lizard also stepped forward to help.

Bingyibu, Frost Milk Fairy, Butubo, and Ba Dahu were blowing balloons aside.

Keri directs it all.

Everyone and all Pokémon work together to decorate the venue, set up tables, chairs and benches, decorate the ranch with ribbons, and hang the blown balloons on the signboard of Naoki Ranch.

At five o'clock in the evening, Zach came to collect the goods.

Looking at this scene, he said in surprise: "Wow, it's really lively!"

Then, he also saw the super big watermelon.

Zach's reaction was different from that of Kerry and Ivan. After a brief shock, he murmured:

"If such a big watermelon is brought to the market, how much can it sell for?"

Ai Wen giggled and said: "Uncle Zach, a family of three can't finish eating such a big watermelon!"

Zach froze for a moment, and agreed: "That's right."

He looked at Naoki and said with a hearty smile, "In that case, then leave me a seat tomorrow!"

"Don't worry!" Naoki nodded.

In the evening, Naoki invited Kerri and Ivan to have dinner in the ranch.

The three lead a group of Pokémon to a smoky barbecue under the stars.

After drinking and eating, the sky has completely darkened.

Ai Wen looked at the fireflies gathered by the river, and couldn't help but sigh: "Nature is so beautiful!"

Zhishu helped Kuailong rub his bulging belly and said, "You can also come to the countryside to run a ranch."

Ai Wen shook his head: "Farewell, I don't have so many Pokémon to help me work together, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted by then."

Naoki: "It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

Hearing this, Aiwen, who was lying on the grass because of eating, immediately straightened up, as if remembering something.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a ranch that has grown so fast. It's only been a few months? It's completely changed here."

Keri on the side nodded in agreement: "Do you remember Lei from Thunder Ranch?"

"I know." Naoki had seen him.

Keri: "His ranch is similar to yours now, but it took him almost two years to develop to this state, while you only took less than four months!"

Naoki thought for a while and guessed, "Maybe it's because I can catch Pokémon by myself?"

He caught the goat on the mount, and brought the salt stone treasure back from the wild. These not only saved him a lot of money, but also provided him with a very considerable income.

"That's why!" Ivan lay down again: "Ordinary people don't have the help of a powerful Pokémon like Guleton. It is still very time-consuming to run a ranch."

Naoki understood, he looked at Guleton, reached out and stroked its head.

After a while, Keri said: "It's getting late, we should go back."

Naoki got up to see them off, and as the truck went away, the ranch returned to silence.

After a busy day, Naoki also felt a little tired, so he went to bed early and rested, preparing to face tomorrow's event in the best condition.

the next day.

Zhishu got up early, and after he had breakfast with all the Pokémon, the people who received the invitation yesterday also rushed to the ranch one after another.

The first one to come was Mayor Thomas.

He deliberately wore a formal suit today, and it can be seen that he attaches great importance to today's activities.

Naoki welcomed them in, and Mayor Thomas rubbed his eyes in disbelief after seeing the big watermelon.

"God! I swear, this is the first time I have seen such a big watermelon!"

Naoki smiled at the side and said, "You'll get used to it later."

Then, he told Mayor Thomas about today's preparations and invited him to cut the big watermelon.

Mayor Thomas happily agreed.

It was a while before the event started, and Naoki originally planned to ask Mayor Thomas to sit and rest for a while.

In addition to watermelon, he also prepared a lot of snacks and snacks.

Lucky pudding, fruit juice milk, honey buns, creamy smoothies...

But he didn't expect to be rejected by Mayor Thomas.

Like an old man in his own family, he helped Naoki welcome people from the town to visit.

With the arrival of Mayor Thomas, as if some kind of switch was turned on, people followed in groups of threes and arrived at the ranch.

The old man of Happy Ranch and his granddaughter Xiaomei, the owner of the seed shop Ai Luo and his wife Abby.

Naoki didn't see their daughter Bell, she should be staying in the room fishing now.

Then came Lei from Thunder Ranch, Little Green from Light Green Ranch, and the farmer from a nearby farm.

There are three members of the Elif family in Erif Cherry Orchard, Ivan riding a motorcycle lizard, Keri with strange strength and a veteran builder, and Zach with a muscular body and a cropped head.

Finally came Mrs. Dantès and her husband, who had a kind face and gray hair.

Naoki saw this kind old man walking in front of him carrying a cloth bag.

Mrs. Dantès handed over the bag of biscuits with a smile on her face: "This is the biscuit I made this morning, try it?"

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Naoki smiled and reached out to take it, accepting Mrs. Dantès' kindness.

This lovely old man always likes to make some biscuits and snacks and give them to Kuailong to take back to the ranch.

Seeing that everyone was almost here, Zhishu asked Kuailong and Guleton to work together to pick off the huge watermelon and carry it to the lawn here.

"Ah gah~"

"Aww~"

The two Pokémon happily agreed, and they flew to the farmland and brought the big watermelon over.

People's eyes couldn't help being attracted by the big watermelon, and they all stepped forward to surround the big watermelon, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

Mrs. Dantès covered her mouth and said in surprise: "My God! This is simply incredible!"

Lei from Leiming Ranch was full of astonishment: "Okay, what a big watermelon! How did it grow?"

The old man of Happy Ranch held the hand of his granddaughter Xiaomei, looking at the big watermelon, he was speechless.

Xiaomei's eyes were bright, and her heart was full of admiration: "Mr. Naoki is really amazing!"

Eero couldn't help trembling: "Is this really the watermelon seeds sold in our store?"

"It's true, Mr. Arrow." Naoki's voice came from the side.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the young man who planted an incredible watermelon.

Ray: "How did you do it?"

Looking at the curious and shocked crowd, at this moment, Naoki felt as if he had turned into a missionary wearing a robe and holding a Bible in his hand, saying to the crowd, "Believe in the Lord and have eternal life".

Although it is embarrassing, but for the sake of those two steeds, I still have to continue.

Naoki coughed lightly, and in the eyes of the people, he slowly said:

"All of this is a gift from the King of Plenty."

"The king of abundance?" As soon as the voice fell, someone answered immediately.

Naoki looked over and found that it was the little green lady from the light green pasture.

He nodded: "The legendary king of abundance, King Leiguan, is the embodiment of abundance."

Then, Naoki slowly told the legend of King Bui Crown, and focused on his ability to make flowers bloom, fertilize the soil, and harvest crops.

"The Crown King is a Pokémon full of compassion. He can see everything in the past, present and future, and will bring good luck to those who believe in him."

No, the more I talk, the more I feel like a magic stick... Naoki complained in his heart.

He coughed lightly, and then changed the subject: "Mayor Thomas, let's divide up!"

Before everyone came back to their senses, Mayor Thomas had already walked onto the high platform with a smile on his face.

Holding a watermelon knife in his hand, he said while cutting the melon: "Let us thank King Leiguan for allowing us to eat delicious watermelon this season."

————

Galar region, crowned with snow.

King Lei Guan suddenly found a warm force gushing out of his body.

He is very familiar with this feeling, and he also had this feeling a long time ago.

That is the power transformed by human's belief in him.

Feeling the body gradually warming up, King Lei Crown's figure flickered, and then appeared on a white snow field with no end in sight.

Its toes lightly touched the snow, and blue superpowers shone in its eyes.

Through the distant time and space, He saw a group of human beings gathered together, as if they were celebrating something, and the surroundings were very lively.

And His little believer, who has been working hard, is standing in front of the crowd, trying his best to proclaim His existence to them.

"...the great king of abundance."

"Avatar of abundance...a Pokémon full of kindness..."

"Let us thank King Leiguan..."

Hearing these words and watching that scene, King Lei Guan was deeply touched.

In the long years, this is the first time a human being has done such a thing for him.

It's impossible not to be moved.

King Lei Guan: "I never expected that little believer to trust Gu so much."

He is really too religious.
