Not a trainer this time

Listening to Pokémon chat is very interesting.

A variety of information and intelligence can be obtained from their chats.

For example, there was a fire somewhere in the town, what kind of Pokémon appeared there, what Pokémon was lost, or a certain Pokémon had a duel with other Pokémon for love.

When listening to their chat, Naoki would not interrupt and would just sit quietly behind the bar and read a book.

On the other hand, his Pokémon would occasionally join in the chat and ask Monster and Carnival some other questions.

With the departure of the carnival dancing ducks and strange force, the sky outside has completely darkened.

Naoki glanced at the time, it was already nine fifteen at night.

He glanced out the window. It seemed that there would be no other guests visiting today.

Thinking about it, Naoki planned to close the door and take a rest, but at this moment, there was a barking sound and the sound of a motorcycle engine starting outside the door.

Naoki was a little surprised.

Are there any guests coming so late?

When he went out to check, he saw Miss Junsha in police uniform riding a three-wheeled motorcycle chasing a katy dog.

The Kati dog ran excitedly in front, barking as it ran.

"Carty Dog, where are you going?"

Miss Junsha, who was chasing after her, looked worried.

They had just finished their patrol and were getting ready to get off work. As a good partner of the police station, Katy the dog ran away as if he had taken stimulants.

At that time, a group of police officers in the police station were all stunned.

Only Miss Junsha reacted faster and quickly got on her motorcycle and chased after her.

In the middle, the Katie dog ran and stopped, seemingly waiting for her on purpose.

Seeing this scene, Miss Junsha became even more puzzled.

What is it that attracts katy dogs?

After thinking for a while, Miss Junsha decided to come over with Kati Dog to have a look.

They walked through the night-shrouded country roads and finally arrived at a brightly lit pasture.

Miss Junsha blinked and turned her gaze to the man standing in front of a wooden house.

The Cady dog ​​stopped in front of the man and barked "woof" twice at him.

Miss Junsha turned off the motorcycle, got out of the car and looked at this scene in confusion.

She frowned, a serious look on her face.

Could this person be a bad guy who deliberately used some means to attract other people's Pokémon and then steal them?

Out of professional instinct, Miss Junsha subconsciously put her hands on the handcuffs around her waist, preparing to subdue the other party if necessary.

"Who?" Miss Junsha said seriously.

Naoki: "..."

Naoki noticed Miss Junsha's actions with keen eyes. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said speechlessly:

"Don't worry Miss Junsha, I'm Naoki from Naoki Ranch. Your katik must have heard the news about the opening of the tavern from other Pokémon, so it came here."

Miss Junsha was slightly startled. She glanced at the young man across the night, and then withdrew her hand from the handcuffs.

"Naoki Ranch...I've heard this name in town."

Naoki smiled, lowered his head and asked, "Katika, are you here to visit the tavern?"

The Kati dog was wagging its tail excitedly and nodding repeatedly: "Woof!"

"Then come in!"

Naoki felt that this katy dog ​​was quite friendly to people, so he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub the dog's head, and then welcomed one person and one dog into the tavern.

In the tavern, Hackron, Mini Dragon, and Groundhog were still chatting under the warm light.

As soon as he entered the door, the dog's eyes were attracted to them.

It looked even more excited.

"Woof woof!" There really is a tavern dedicated to Pokémon!

The Kati dog didn't care about ordering food, and then happily ran to the cloth dog and said hello to them.

Miss Junsha walked into the tavern and looked at the scene with a helpless face: "This child is really too playful."

Naoki grinned.

Miss Junsha never thought that a tavern was open here.

But since she is here, she will take a good rest here and drink a glass of wine to relieve the fatigue of today.

But when she was about to order, she didn't find the drink list.

Seeing Miss Junsha's confused expression, Naoki turned around and took down a white milk bucket and two transparent glasses from the shelf.

He poured the watermelon juice from the milk bucket into the glass, put in a few ice cubes, and then pushed the glass of ice-cold watermelon juice in front of Miss Junsha.

"Our tavern is dedicated to serving Pokémon, but it has just opened, so I would like to give you this glass of juice." Naoki said.

Hearing this, Miss Junsha was full of surprise: "Specially... serving Pokémon?"

"As you can see."

Miss Junsha turned her head and looked over there, and she finally realized something was wrong!

The people sitting in this tavern are all Pokémon, not a single human!

"But...but..." Miss Junsha felt very incredible.

"This can be considered my part-time job!" Naoki smiled and put the milk bucket on the wine rack: "I like Pokémon very much, so I opened this tavern so that I can see more Pokémon. Watching them stay here makes me feel relaxed."

"This is really incredible!" Miss Junsha murmured.

She looked at the iced watermelon juice in front of her and politely thanked her.

Naoki shook his head and said it was nothing.

He motioned to Miss Junsha to sit on the table over there and rest for a while.

Miss Junsha thought for a while, then walked to the table with two glasses of watermelon juice.

She called for the dog. Due to the body structure of the dog, it could not sit on a chair and could only squat on the ground.

But for Katy Dog, it's enough.

Its big head just exceeded the height of the table. It lowered its head with a straw in its mouth and began to drink watermelon juice. While drinking, it peeked at the group of Pokémon next to it.

How lively! Katigou thought to himself, it’s so fun here.

Miss Junsha observed the layout of the tavern.

There is a bar at the entrance. There is a wine rack installed on the wall inside the bar, a closet next to it, and a refrigerator on the other side.

The lighting in the tavern is orange, and there is a red carpet on the floor at the entrance, making the place look warmer and livelier, and the atmosphere is created perfectly.

On the wall on the left, there are simple drawings and several photos drawn by children.

Miss Junsha's eyes were attracted by the photo.

She couldn't help but stand up and walked to the photo wall.

The photo shows a very beautiful cliff with lush grass and trees growing on it. A spectacular waterfall falls straight down, forming rivers in the mountains and dense forests below, like the blood vessels of the wilderness. To the naked eye, it can even be seen. Feel the forest breathing.

And on the grass, stood a large group of Pokémon.

There were some she knew and some she didn't.

Baby Bear, Meow Meow, Cady Dog...

A small Pokémon with blue eyes that looks like a pink kitten.

It is a humanoid Pokémon with pink fine fur all over its body, an indifferent expression, and a big tail. It has a reluctant expression on its face, and it seems that it does not want to take this photo.

Except for this Pokémon, the other Pokémon looked happy.

Miss Junsha couldn't help but ask: "The Pokémon here are also guests of the tavern?"

Naoki looked up and saw Miss Junsha standing in front of the photo wall.

He shook his head: "No, that photo... was sent back by a friend of mine who was traveling outside."

"Oh." Miss Junsha understood, and she sighed: "I have never seen these two Pokémon... Sure enough, there are many Pokémon in this world that have not been discovered by humans!"

"Yes!" Naoki smiled and didn't say much.

Soon, Katy the dog drank up the glass of ice-cold watermelon juice.

Miss Junsha paid the bill, and because it was getting late, she took the dog and left the tavern, preparing to go home and rest.

The dog didn't want to leave yet. Seeing its reluctant expression, Naoki smiled and waved to it: "Come back tomorrow! My pub is open every day except weekends."

"Woof woof!"

Katigou's eyes lit up, and then he left with Junsha contentedly.

On the way, it did not forget to turn around and bark twice.

Naoki heard it and said: "I will come again tomorrow!"

Watching the figures of one person and one dog disappear into the darkness, Naoki couldn't help but relax and stretch, and then said to the Pokémon around him:

"It's time for us to go back to bed!"

"Buyi~"

Ice Eevee was in a happy mood and showed a smile to Naoki, then said goodbye to him, turned around and ran back to his igloo.

The three big milk jugs yawned, and each of them took a cup of goat's milk from their mount goat before returning to the Pokémon hut to sleep.

Mini Dragon and Hack Dragon also felt sleepy.

They were so sleepy that they could hardly open their eyes, but they still managed to run up to Naoki and nuzzled his cheek.

Then he returned to his Moon Lake with satisfaction, lay down in the moon reflected on the lake and fell asleep.

Seeing this scene, Kuailong stamped his feet angrily, cursed a few dragons who were competing with him for the trainer, and then hugged Naoki.

Naoki: "..."

He helplessly patted Kuailong's fat belly: "Okay, you go to sleep too!"

Kuailong lowered his head and looked over, blinked, and then followed the example of Mini Dragon and Hackron, and rubbed Naoki's face affectionately with his big fat face.

Naoki: "..."

"Ouch~"

Kuailong was so happy that he turned around and ran away as fast as he could under Gu Ledun's dangerous gaze.

"Ah, geez..." Gu Lerton felt that Kuailong was really childish.

It turned to look at Naoki, who had a look of despair as his cheek was rubbed.

Naoki was keenly aware of Gulton's gaze, thinking that it also wanted to rub his cheek, so he simply stopped struggling: "Come on!"

He ran forward and rubbed the cheeks of the remaining Pokémon one by one.

So Luton opened his eyes wide: "Ah gah?!"

The Motorcycle Lizard couldn't believe it: "Gah?!"

Butubo skillfully flew into Zhishu's arms and started acting like a baby: "Bamo~"

As for the Frost Milk Fairy...it had returned to its nest early to sleep and did not stay up late together.

"Let's go back to the house and sleep!"

Zhi Shu picked up the cloth dog, followed by Gulton and Motor Lizard, and walked towards their home under the moonlight.

*

The next morning, it’s a new day.

Today is already July 5th, and the fields are still deserted and a new round of sowing has not started.

Naoki realized that he could no longer continue, so early in the morning, he called the gopher, and together he plowed the field and planted a new batch of pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.

He ate a few pieces of melon seed cake, and then called a few Pokémon to help him with the work.

Kuailong is still practicing praying for rain by watering the ground.

The mount goat also came over to use the grass field to help take care of the crops in the field as usual.

While they were busy, Zhi Shu took the opportunity to take a look at the seeds of the World Tree.

[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 99995 years and 363 days. ]

"Two days less time!" Naoki was a little happy.

There is no doubt that the mount goat is responsible for this!

Naoki turned to look at the three mount goats.

"It seems that the energy of green grass can help World Tree accelerate its growth!"

But having said that, because he helps take care of this seedling, the goat does not need to perform daily dances...

This made Naoki, who was used to seeing a goat dancing around, a little strange.

He stood up, ready to watch the goat tending the pumpkins and sunflowers in the field.

At this moment, a black luxury car suddenly stopped outside the ranch.

Bada Butterfly, who sensed the strange aura, immediately told Naoki the news.

Naoki looked up and saw an old man wearing a brown suit and a Fedora hat getting out of the car.

The old man was holding a gentleman's cane in his hand and looked very elegant.

From a distance, the old man saw Naoki here. He smiled and nodded: "Naoki!"

"Mr. Sato!" Naoki shouted out the other person's name excitedly.

This old man is the two nurturing owners that Alvin took him to see more than two months ago.

If Mr. Sato appeared here...

Zhi Shu felt something in his heart and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Old Sato's face was still so kind: "I'm sorry, I was delayed by something before, so I came so late."

"It's okay." Naoki looked at the luxury car and asked, "Why don't you go in and have a cup of tea first?"

Seeing his gaze, Sato laughed out loud: "There's no need to drink tea. I'm going to visit a friend later."

With that said, he turned around and rushed to the back seat of the black luxury car and said, "Come on down! We are already here."

The door of the back seat was opened, and two normal-sized caretakers silently walked out from behind.

The larger one with upward horns pursed its lips and showed no expression on its face.

This is my brother, Naoki thought.

The slightly smaller one with downward-facing horns was deliberately protected by his brother.

Unlike her brother, the younger sister's expression is very gentle and her eyes are bright. When she sees Naoki looking at her, the corners of her mouth turn up, revealing a soft smile on her face.

The carefree brother noticed his sister's behavior, and the corners of his lips drooped, as if he was a little unhappy.

It gave my sister a disapproving look and whispered: "Oh." (We agreed that we would first observe this human being's behavior.)

The little sister who was in charge quickly put away her smile and whispered: "Aye!" (I know!)

Seeing this, Brother Ai Guanshi turned his attention to the human in front of him again.

Naoki, who heard their loud conspiracy: "..." Fortunately, he ate several pieces of translation melon seed cake in the morning in order to direct the Pokémon to work.

Naoki didn't pay attention to their words, but observed their appearance and nodded repeatedly in his heart:

"In more than two months, I have grown up a lot, and I no longer look like the little kid I was before."

I just don’t know if I still remember him.

Old Sato introduced with a smile: "This is Mr. Naoki who will take care of you in the future. You met him once when you were young. Do you remember? That time he went to the manor and brought you pudding."

Hearing this, my sister Ai Guanshi immediately nodded happily: "Aye!" (Of course I remember!)

The corner of my brother's mouth turned down, looking a little unhappy: "Oh..." (As promised...)

The little sister stuck out her tongue and said obediently: "Yes! Yes?" (I know, I know! Brother, do you think that pudding is delicious?)

Brother Tuanshi still remembered what happened at that time, and he also ate the piece of pudding.

Hearing his sister's words, he carefully recalled the taste, nodded and said: "Love it." (It's delicious.)

My sister Ai Guanshi was a little confused: "Aye? Aye!" (Then why don't you like this human being? The pudding is delicious and the person is nice!)

Brother Ai Tuanshi calmly said: "Ai ugh." (This is different.)

It was worried in its heart, thought about it, and said seriously to its sister: "Oh." (When you have just met humans, you can't put too much emotion into them, and you can't like them too much. If he doesn't like us, we will be abandoned by him. It will be very uncomfortable.)

This is what it heard from a meow in the manor who had experienced being abandoned.

That meow was tamed by a human before, but the human thought it was too weak and didn't like it, so he abandoned it again.

Later, he was lucky enough to meet old man Sato and was adopted by him. Since then, he has been living in the manor.

Therefore, as the older brother, he has to protect his sister before determining whether this human will abandon the Pokémon.

My sister likes to care about the attendants who seem to understand but not understand.

Hearing these words, Naoki glanced at his manipulative brother who looked like a little adult and tried hard to protect his sister, but his heart was very complicated.

He did not talk directly to the two caretakers, but turned to old Sato and said:

"Mr. Sato, let me introduce this ranch to you!"

As the breeder of the dog, Sato must want to know what kind of life the dog will live here, so he has to explain everything in detail.

Sure enough, after hearing this, a bright smile appeared on Old Sato's wrinkled face.

He smiled and said, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!"
