Not a trainer this time

The next morning.

After getting up, Naoki glanced at the calendar as usual. Today was August 13th, and on the word 13th, there was a red circle drawn with a red pen.

That was the mark Naoki made more than a month ago when he was making wine.

It means that today is the day when beer is brewed.

Thinking of this, Zhi Shu, who was still a little sleepy, instantly became energetic.

He got up and left the bedroom, taking Babu Tubo and Gulton to the living room.

In the kitchen, my sister's maid has already begun to prepare a delicious breakfast for everyone.

The elder brother's nuisance servant was cleaning up the mess in the living room caused by Pokémon such as Frosty.

The Motorcycle Lizard was lying in front of the fireplace, squinting his eyes lazily, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

Seeing this scene, Ludun couldn't help but remind him: "Ah gah!"

Why did it look so much like a lazy pig before?

Hearing Gulton's voice, the Motorized Lizard woke up instantly. When he opened his eyes, he found that everyone was looking at him.

"Gaw?"

The Motorized Lizard couldn't help but panic, thinking that he had done something wrong.

Naoki was speechless: "It's okay. It will take a while before we can eat. You can continue to sleep for a while."

The Motorcycle Lizard felt relieved, but after being so frightened, it no longer felt sleepy. It simply shook its body and ran outside to breathe fresh air.

Morning pasture is always so relaxing.

The breeze carried the faint fragrance of flowers and grass, and the leaves of crops in the fields were covered with crystal clear and full water drops.

Ice Eevee walking, Olinio doing photosynthesis, three bees working hard, and wild bird Pokémon standing on the roof, all of them give people a leisurely and lively feeling.

The Motorized Lizard liked it so much that he joined in and started running energetically on the grass.

In the living room.

Frosty Milk Fairy stood on the cupboard and watched her sister, Ai Guanshi, prepare breakfast.

Babu Groundhog jumped onto the sofa, his furry body wrapped lazily in the soft sofa.

Sunlight shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Along with Babu's movements, a few thin floating hairs float in the air, which appear particularly clear under the light of the beam.

Naoki: "..."

It seems like you need to feed more chicken soup to the furry Pokémon in the pasture.

He remembered that chicken soup has the effect of preventing hair loss and can also make Pokémon shiny and smooth.

Not only Naoki, but also his brother Ai Guanshi also noticed this scene.

It came over with a tool and cleaned up the floating hair that fell on the wooden floor.

Naoki was satisfied and sighed once again that he was worthy of being a famous housekeeper Pokémon!

Before breakfast was ready, Naoki opened the door to the cellar.

The cellar was dark, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

Naoki sniffed carefully and could smell a hint of the unique aroma produced by the fermentation of hops and malt.

"It's really done!"

With anticipation, Naoki went down the stairs to the cellar, came to the oak barrel closest to him, unscrewed the valve, and the golden wine trickled out.

What follows is a rich and mellow aroma of barley beer.

Naoki shouted to Gulton who was guarding the entrance of the cellar: "Bring a cup!"

"Ah gah!"

Gu Luton responded, quickly turned around and took a glass from the living room.

Naoki reached out and took it, using it to catch a glass of beer. Then he looked down and the information about the beer appeared in his mind.

[Barley beer (B): Beer fermented from malt and hops, it is an indispensable part of the pub.

Cooking effect: Drunk. After drinking, the Pokémon will enter a slightly tipsy state, which can bring a short period of tranquility to the Pokémon and allow them to relax body and mind. In this state, the recovery speed of injuries is accelerated.

If a Fighting-type Pokémon drinks it before a battle, some unexpected effects may occur.

Rating: A basic barley beer, easy to make, and a good choice for home travel. ]

"Drunk?" Naoki didn't expect such a simple effect, but if he thought about it carefully, it was quite normal.

It can bring peace to Pokémon's minds and allow them to relax...

Maybe those extremely tired Pokémon would like a drink like this.

However, what Naoki finds interesting is that beer seems to have a special effect on fighting-type Pokémon?

Will drinking it before a battle allow them to perform a drunken fist fight during the battle?

It just so happens that he also has a Fighting-type Pokémon in his ranch!

Naoki looked up at Guluton above.

But after a short period of reflection, he gave up the idea of ​​trying it on Guluton.

Because he was afraid that Gu Ledun would get drunk and start demolishing the house.

It would be fine if it was a normal Pokémon, but Gullton is a legendary Pokémon.

If it gets drunk, no one in the ranch can stop it.

When the beer was brewed, Naoki was so happy that he immediately went up to tell the news to the nosy brother and sister who helped run the pub.

"The effect of this beer can help Pokémon relieve fatigue and relax them. If an injured Pokémon drinks it, the injury will heal faster."

“This way, we can add another drink to the pub’s menu in the future!”

"Love?"

Hearing this magical effect, my sister's cute little face showed an expression of surprise.

Naoki smiled and nodded. After finishing breakfast, he asked two carefree waiters to use their telekinesis to carry an oak barrel filled with beer to the back of the bar in the tavern.

In this way, if there is a Pokémon that wants to give it a try, the caretaker only needs to unscrew the valve and connect a cup.

During this time, the Pokémon Tavern has been run by two carefree waiters.

Not only do they serve as bartenders, they also prepare food for hungry guests.

In addition to the milk and tree juice prepared by Naoki, they also specially prepare simple and easy-to-make sandwiches, cream-covered tree fruit snacks, and buttered popcorn made from corn for guests to choose from.

Thanks to their efforts and the word-of-mouth spread among Pokémon in the town, this tavern, which was transformed from a dilapidated old house, has become an exclusive gathering place for Pokémon.

Although it deviates a little from his original intention of creating this tavern, it seems good.

Naoki usually wouldn't disturb this group of Pokémon. Only when some Pokémon that he had never seen before or were interested in came to visit, he would run over to watch and eavesdrop on their chats.

Today, in order to observe the effect of beer, Naoki came here specially when the pub was open.

He ate nearly a dozen pieces of translation melon seed cakes, and stood behind the bar with his sister Aiguanshi to entertain the guests.

The elder brother, who loves to serve, stays aside and acts as a bartender, preparing to serve the guests meals depending on the situation, or clean the floor and tabletops stained by the guests.

At 6:30 in the evening, the pub officially opened for business.

After a while, the two strange powers of the Cree family, loyal guests of the tavern, rushed over.

They planned to order a glass of juice and milk as usual, but suddenly found that there was an extra drink in the pub today.

Guai Li couldn't help but ask: "Ni Ke?" (What is that? New tree juice?)

My younger sister Ai Guanshi smiled and shook her head: "Oh!" (No, it's beer that can relieve fatigue!)

"Ni Ke?!" Guai Li couldn't believe it. There is such a thing?

My sister likes to ask: "Aye?" (Want a drink?)

The two monsters looked at each other, but in the end they could not resist the curiosity in their hearts and ordered two drinks with the money that Keri specially gave them.

Seeing this, Naoki hilariously took two full glasses of beer and gave them to them.

The two monsters were sitting at the dining table, looking down at the golden liquid in the glass, feeling that it smelled a little weird.

They hesitated a little, but finally lowered their heads and took a sip.

As the beer entered his stomach, the cheeks of the two weirdos immediately turned red at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

They successfully entered a tipsy state.

The first time I experienced the strange power of being tipsy, I felt as if I was stepping on clouds. My whole body felt light and I no longer felt any worries or fatigue.

Although this drink tastes a little strange, it tastes surprisingly good!

The two monsters raised their glasses and drank the beer in one gulp, then sat on the chairs and burped, shaking their heads and looking at the faces of the brothers opposite.

No one spoke, just feeling the strange atmosphere quietly.

Naoki: "..."

I don’t know if it’s because the beer’s effect is too overbearing, or because the two monsters’ alcohol power is very weak.

So when the Carnival Dancing Duck arrived, they saw her sitting on a chair and swaying her body, with an expression on her face as if she had been enchanted by Sister Mizui's charming voice.

This stunned the Carnival Duck for a moment, and it asked strangely: "Gah?" (What happened?)

A gentle smile appeared on the face of the little sister's caretaker: "Oh." (They drank beer.)

Beer... no wonder!

The Carnival Duck has heard of this drink, which is for humans. It tastes a bit strange and he doesn't like it.

Therefore, he rejected the recommendation of his sister, who was in love with the waiter, and ordered a glass of tree juice as usual, sitting there and drinking it slowly.

As time passed, many Pokémon guests arrived one after another.

Most of them are Pokémon in the town, and some are stray Pokémon who heard the news and came to eat and drink.

There are a pair of rats, electric petrels, Pikachu...

The empty seats in the tavern were gradually filled, and the Pokémon were chatting. The atmosphere here seemed very lively.

The fussy siblings looked at this scene happily.

Naoki felt very sorry in his heart.

Because these Pokémon thought the smell of beer smelled weird, he couldn't sell a single beer after the strange power.

At this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open.

A meow with a sad face and gold coins on his head walked in from the door.

Naoki recognized it.

I heard from Carnival Langwuya that this is a meow wandering in Ziqin Town, making a living by opening treasure boxes in the town.

It is said that a trainer once wanted to tame it, but was rejected by this cat because it said that it liked the life of opening treasure boxes every day.

Opening treasure chests means digging through trash cans.

Naoki has seen this meow several times before, and it has always been cheerful and lively.

Why do you have such an expression today?

Miaomiao walked to the bar with a sad face, ready to order a glass of juice and milk like before.

It feels that only fragrant and sweet milk can soothe its wounded heart.

However, suddenly, the gentle voice of my sister, the stewardess, sounded in front of it: "Aye?" (There is a new product in the pub today! It is a magical beer that can help you relax your body and soothe your mind. You must try it. Try it?)

Hearing this, Miaomiao was stunned for a moment.

It then occurred to him that his wounded heart seemed to need soothing.

So Miao Miao nodded, not in the mood to chat with the caretaker, and just said: "Meow." (Then have a cup of Miao.)

It placed a 300-face-value coin on the bar. It was a treasure that Meow Meow had found using the Treasure Gathering Skill. It was round and he liked it very much.

Seeing that another customer finally ordered beer, my sister, who was the waiter, was very happy. She immediately poured a large glass for it and handed it to her brother to bring it to the table.

Meow Meow sat on an empty seat, sighed heavily, then picked up the cup and took a sip of beer.

Hearing its sigh, the fire brigade's Carnival Duck turned his head and looked over: "Gah?" (What happened today?)

Seeing someone asking, Meow Meow immediately said sadly: "Meow..." (I'm so stupid, really, I just knew that the elegant cat from a wealthy family wouldn't like me, but I still couldn't help but confess to it. White meow...)

Carnival dancing duck: "..."

Meow's eyes suddenly lit up: "Meow!" (What a beautiful and elegant cat that is, meow! It is so beautiful, so noble and elegant, meow! The first time I saw it, I knew, my Love has arrived!)

Then, Meow's expression became dazed and depressed: "Meow..." (But it rejected my confession, and I lost my love Meow again...)

With that said, Meow Meow took another swig of beer.

Its expression was in a trance, its face was red, and it had successfully entered a slightly tipsy state.

Naoki was surprised when he heard Meow Meow's words.

Good guy, this is still a love-loving meow!

Drunk Miaomiao seemed to have forgotten that he had just lost his love.

It just felt light and floating all over, as if it was in the clouds, wrapped in soft and white clouds, as if time had stood still.

"Meow!" (So comfortable, meow!)

Seeing this scene, the other Pokémon were shocked. What happened to this meow?

He was clearly feeling sad because of his broken love just a second ago, but now he showed this expression.

Naoki couldn't help but explain aloud: "This is the effect of beer. It can help Pokémon temporarily forget sad things, relax body and mind and relieve fatigue. After drinking it, just go home and have a good sleep, etc. Wake up tomorrow and everything will be fine.”

Hearing this, all the Pokémon looked surprised.

Beer actually has this effect?

Several Pokémon who had not planned to drink had expressions of eagerness on their faces.

Seeing this, Naoki raised his eyebrows: "Is it possible that you have also fallen out of love?"

"Pikachu!"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

"..."

A group of Pokémon shook their heads quickly, they didn't!

There were also many Pokémon covering their mouths and laughing, and for a while, the tavern was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Naoki was chatting with them like this, but at this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open again.

It was already dark at this time, and Naoki thought it was Miss Junsha who was patrolling the mountain with a dog, but he never thought that as soon as he looked up, he saw a large group of unexpected figures.

Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Pikachu, Meowth...

The Pokémon that opened the door was a Gothauck that evolved from a Gothauck.

Seeing so many Pokémon, Naoki had a look of astonishment on his face.

The group of Pokémon also saw him, but the next second, they all moved out of the way.

Behind them, a creature with a humanoid body and the characteristics of a feline Pokémon was standing in the darkness, looking over calmly with its emotionless eyes.
