Not a trainer this time

Looking at the little bud in front of him, Naoki frowned and thought calmly.

Obviously, this is because the grass energy of the mount goat mutated the three strange seeds.

Among them, [grass cake] must have contributed.

But...why does it take so long to grow? !

Has it been one hundred thousand years since the creation of Arceus, from the birth of the world to now?

What plant takes such a long time to grow?

Naoki quickly went through the world's famous plants in his mind.

Resurrection Grass, Flower of Gracidia, Flower of Eternity...

No, the eternal flower is a flower pedicle and cannot be attributed to a plant.

Apart from these, it seems that only the original tree of the world is left.

Naoki's mind flashed to the tall and majestic ancient tree in the theater version, which was located in the mountains and reached the sky.

The internal environment of the huge tree trunk is unique and complex like a maze, giving birth to a unique ecosystem where many Pokémon live.

No one knows where it was born, and how many years it took to grow into what it is. Dreams regard it as home, and Regice, Regirock, and Regis Chiru are willing to become the guardians there, driving away Intrusive humans.

Some people think that it is not a real tree, but is composed of rock formations that look like trees, but others think that it is a manifestation of the tree's branches becoming rocky during the long process of growth.

Naoki's eyebrows were pounding. Could it be that the goat he was riding on planted his dream home?

Good guy, no wonder there hasn't been a mutated crop in the field for more than a month. It turns out that they are secretly holding back a big one for him!

Naoki thought about the appearance of the original tree of the world, and then looked down at the seedling in front of him, which was no bigger than his little finger. He couldn't combine the two into one.

He desperately wanted to know what kind of plant it was.

But obviously, unless some special means are used, he will never see it again in his lifetime.

After thinking for a moment, Naoki turned his attention to the King Lei Guan shrine that he had always enshrined.

If there is anyone else who has this ability, it must be King Lei Guan, right?

Naoki immediately ran to King Lei Guan's shrine and offered incense to it.

Lei Guanwang sama! Your poor little disciple needs help! When you come back, I will pay you endless amounts of grass dumplings!

King Lei Guan, who is far away in the Galar region: "..."

There was another heavy snowfall on the Crown Snowfield.

The world is completely white, and the snow on the ground is very deep.

At this time in the past, King Lei Guan spent most of his time in deep sleep because his body was very weak.

But things have been different in the past few months.

With the help of that devout little believer, a steady stream of faith power poured into his body. Although it was still far from its peak, it was already able to mobilize some power.

For this, Lei Guanwang's heart is filled with gratitude.

He thought, this little believer was so pious. When the world had forgotten Him, he did so many things for Him alone.

Not only that, the little believer never asked for anything in return, but just silently praised His name behind his back.

The surrounding temperature was very cold, but Lei Guanwang's heart was very warm.

This was the first time the young believer asked Him for help.

Gu will definitely help you complete it, King Lei Guan thought to herself.

He cheered up, concentrated his superpowers, and paid attention to things over there.

He saw that the young believer had put a lot of tree fruits in front of his shrine, and he could hardly put them down. Finally, a few tree fruits rolled to the grass beside him, and the young believer quickly picked them up. Replaced it.

"Do you like Gu so much?" King Lei Guan muttered to himself.

In this case, let Gu Lai do something for you!

seedling? Want to grow your seedlings to maturity?

This matter was still very simple to Him.

King Lei Guan concentrated his mind and finally found the seedling that the young believer was talking about on a piece of dirt in the pasture.

He saw three sheep Pokémon surrounding the seedling.

King Lei Guan ignored them, but gracefully raised his right hand and used his own power to start growing the seedling.

At first, King Lei Guan didn't notice anything was wrong.

But soon, as the energy accumulated in his body was drained, but the seedling remained unchanged, King Lei Guan finally realized that something was wrong.

Um?

What on earth is this? It's so... so energy-consuming!

There was a hint of shock on King Lei Guan's serious face.

Naoki still didn't know that King Lei Guan had answered his prayer.

After offering sacrifices to the shrine of King Lei Guan, he strolled back to his mount goat.

By the way, he lowered his head and glanced at the seedling. It was a good thing not to look at it. As soon as he looked at Zhi Shu, he discovered something big.

Ripening time shortened! The name has also changed!

[World Tree Seedling: A seed sapling that has absorbed a large amount of power from grass. Because of the goat it is mounted on, it undergoes changes during its growth. The majestic vitality is brewing in it, and finally breaks out of the ground. It is still a long way from growing up. It takes 99996 years. ]

Four years were suddenly shortened!

Naoki was stunned and couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, it's really the World Tree!"

etc! Can two World Trees exist in one world at the same time?

However, as smart as Naoki, he still discovered the difference between the two.

The name of the tree in Orudran City in the Kanto region is [The Original Tree of the World].

The tree planted by Mount Goat lost the word "initial" and directly became the world tree.

The difference between them may be the same as that of the Big Leiyin Temple and the Small Leiyin Temple?

Naoki began to analyze calmly.

The original tree of the world is bound to the dreamy life.

When the tree dies, the dream dies, and when the dream dies, the tree is also affected.

And this world tree grown by a goat will obviously not have that kind of trouble.

It is very likely to grow into the same tree as the original tree of the world! There is a complete ecosystem inside!

What's even more gratifying is that King Lei Guan's power suddenly reduced the time it took for the tree to grow by four years.

When he turns around, he brings King Lei Guan and his two beloved horses to the pasture, and supplements them with various dishes that replenish the energy of the grass. Maybe he can really see this tree grow in his lifetime!

Thinking of this, Naoki became excited and suddenly had new energy.

He looked at the three mount goats on the side.

When this world tree grows up, the goat that cultivated it as a mount will have the power of being a dragon, gain the recognition of the tree, and gain the right to live in the world tree.

Maybe the three of them can become the guardians of the World Tree like Regice and the others, repelling all invading enemies and becoming a legend.

Naoki is very happy. When the time comes, he will also move his family up there to experience the feeling of a tree house and farm in the world tree.

The ranch on the World Tree, the mansion on the World Tree, the tavern on the World Tree...

Naoki turned around and went to pay tribute to King Lei Guan with a bunch of fruits.

Although He couldn't eat it, he could still feel the affection.

Galar region, the crown of snow.

Seeing the little believer looking so happy, King Lei Guan suddenly felt a little speechless.

He, this little believer, is good at everything, but he is not very smart.

It seems that He will take more care of me in the future.

As the king who once ruled the Galar region, King Lei Guan thought a lot at this moment.

King Lei Guan felt very disappointed every time he thought that the humans in this place had forgotten him.

Then He thought about the area where the young believers were.

Not only is agriculture developed there and the products abundant, the humans and Pokémon living there are also very simple and kind-hearted.

Happiness is all about comparison.

Lei Guanwang: "..."

move place! Move now!

The King of Galar doesn’t deserve it!

However this is impossible.

Although he can transfer territory on a large scale, with his current physical condition, he simply cannot do that.

Therefore, he could only place his hope on his little believer, hoping that the other party would come to him as soon as possible and help him find those two heartless horses.

But now, the energy accumulated in his body has been exhausted, and he has to sleep for a while.

In the heavy snowfall, King Lei Guan closed his eyes tiredly, expecting in his heart that when He opened his eyes again, the little believer would already be in front of Him.

Naoki didn't know what Lei Guanwang expected of him.

Seeing King Lei Guan appear again, he began to think about how much he had improved the other person's favorability in the past few months.

Obviously, that's a low number.

Otherwise, why would King Lei Guan respond to his requests? Only twice though.

But for the current King Lei Guan, it may already be everything to him.

Thinking of this, Naoki's inner tendency slightly shifted from the two horses to King Lei Guan.

He returned to the living room, glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall, and finally used a pen to draw a mark on November 2nd.

He planned to go to the Galar region on that day to try to find the King of Thunder Crown, the Snowstorm Horse and the Ghost Horse.

As for why not go in October…

This has to mention one thing.

The seasons in this world are very special and can be said to be distinct.

123 is spring. In January, everything revives and the snow begins to slowly melt.

456 is summer, and the weather will be getting hotter and hotter.

789 is autumn. The hot temperatures will slowly drop in early July, the climate will become crisp and clear, and the maple leaves will begin to turn yellow.

October, November, and December are the months of winter.

Temperatures slowly drop in October, frost begins to form outside, and by mid-November, snow begins to fall, lasting until the end of December.

Naoki thought that this was his first year in this world. The weather had become cold in the first winter, and the animals and Pokémon in the pasture might not be able to adapt to it.

So he had to stay here and arrange everything before he could leave with peace of mind.

Galar and his party didn't know how long it would take. It would be bad if it snowed on the way, and the Pokémon in the pasture would be affected.

However, regarding this point, Gu Luton felt that Naoki was confused because of concern.

Because all the Pokémon in the ranch have experienced winter and have seen snow.

But who made him Naoki?

As long as it's Naoki, everything he says and does is right.

Naoki told him to go west, but he would never go east.

Therefore, Luton felt that there was no Pokémon more obedient than him.

It yawned lazily and lay in a corner of the living room enjoying the familiar atmosphere of life.

Naoki started his own brewing business.

He moved out all the hops and malt he had stored before, and began to operate according to the steps recorded in the ranch manual given by Mayor Thomas.

Brewing is actually quite complicated.

Like mashing, filtering, boiling, cooling, and then putting into oak barrels to start fermentation.

Normally, the entire fermentation process takes about 15 days, but it is said that if it is stored in oak barrels for a longer time, the mature beer will have a more unique flavor.

Oak barrels will also give the beer a unique woody aroma, making it taste better.

In addition, fruit wines such as wine can also be brewed using this method.

But there is no vineyard on the ranch yet, so Naoki has no choice but to use tree fruit to make wine.

Therefore, after bottling the beer, Zhishu went to Zhiqin Town and bought a bunch of tree fruits.

For example, cherry fruit, peach fruit, star peach fruit...

Each fruit has a different taste, some are sweet, some are spicy, and some are sour.

Different Pokémon like different flavors, so Naoki tried every one.

The brewing process lasted five days.

Because brewing in reality is too complicated, and the specifications of oak barrels are also very large, there is no way to just put the hops in and wait for harvest like in Stardew Valley.

During this period, Naoki had been busy working in the cellar and didn't go out much.

By the time he and Gulton filled the last oak barrel with wine, it was July 4th, 198 in the Alliance Calendar.

Autumn is here, and the temperature in the air is gradually getting cooler.

Naoki walked out of the house, feeling the crisp autumn air, and relaxed and stretched.

He turned his head and looked at his arms, and then asked Gu Ledun beside him in surprise: "Have you noticed that I have become a little grayer?"

"Ah?" Gu Ledun glanced at it, tilted his head, and didn't notice much.

He had been busy in the fields during the summer before, running around in the sun, causing his whole body to turn black and rough.

Now that he had suddenly turned white, Naoki was naturally very happy.

He muttered secretly: "It seems that I will spend more time in the cellar in the future."

The last time he had just finished his farm work and went to Zhiqin Market to buy vegetables, a teenage girl called him uncle because of his messy hair and rough appearance. Naoki almost died of depression.

He is obviously only in his twenties, so he doesn't look like an uncle!

The weather today is very good, the breeze is not dry, and the sunshine is just right. Although the fields have not been cultivated yet, it is not bad at all.

So, Naoki directed Kuailong and Motorized Lizard to move a rocking chair to the lawn, lay on it and lay down the soil dog in the sun.

Butubo has long been used to this kind of thing.

It lies flat and can be touched easily.

However, as it touched it, it heard Naoki's tone of doubt: "Eh? Buchou, do you have lice on your body?"

"Bamo?!" Butubo was shocked when he heard this.

Naoki fiddled with its fur and finally found a small grain of sand inside: "Oh, it turned out to be sand. I saw it wrong."

"Bamo!" Bu Tubo looked at Naoki very depressedly.

Naoki smiled and touched its head: "I'm overthinking it. How could you have lice? Even if you did, you could electrocute them all with one hundred thousand volts."

Butubo thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case, so he felt relieved and continued to lie down and bask in the sun with Naoki.

While he was basking in the sun, a dark shadow suddenly floated above his head.

Naoki felt that the sunlight was blocked, and then he opened his eyes and saw a long-winged gull arriving here at some point.

Its mouth opened slightly, and a photo slowly floated down, landing just on Naoki's face.
