Not a trainer this time

Alliance calendar year 198, August 20, autumn.

Early in the morning, Naoki received from Madame Dantès warm clothes and scarves made of wool.

The lovely old man put the things in a handbag and handed them to Naoki, but his eyes were looking at the stretching motorcycle lizard not far away.

"The child doesn't know you have prepared a gift for it, right?" she asked.

"Of course." Naoki smiled and said, "If it knew about it in advance, it wouldn't be a surprise."

Mrs. Dantès nodded slightly and said in a gentle tone: "Since you are ready, I will not disturb you. Say happy birthday to the Motorized Lizard for me."

"OK."

After saying this, Madame Dantès turned and left.

After watching her figure disappear, Naoki returned to the house carrying the handbag.

He looked at the two brothers and sisters with a smile and asked, "Are you all ready?"

"Love~"

"Love ugh."

The brother and sister nodded in unison.

Seeing this, Naoki said: "Then let's start setting up! I'll leave the Motorized Lizard to you, Luton. Take it outside to play and come back when the sun rises."

"Ah geez..."

Therefore, Luton thought that today was also its birthday, even though it had already experienced it once.

At that time, it was also taken out to play by Gulton. The Gulton even left it behind and ran away alone.

Therefore, Leden walked out obediently while recalling what happened next.

and after?

Logically speaking, it should have been very unhappy after being abandoned by Gu Leton, but it seemed not very smart at the time and didn't think too much. It just happily returned home with a few flowers.

Because Luton told it that Zhishu bought a vase and wanted to put the most beautiful flowers in the vase.

When it opened the door with the flowers, it saw the surprise Naoki had prepared for it...

Now that he has become an outsider from a player in the game, Leden couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

It came outside and found the Motorized Lizard rolling on the grass, and said to it: "Ah, geez." (Let's go find flowers.)

The motorcycle lizard looked cute: "Gah?"

Then, it seemed to realize that Guledon wanted to play with it, its eyes immediately brightened, and it said happily: "Gah!"

Gu Luton: "..."

It made it up seriously: "Ah, quash?" (Naoki bought a vase and wanted to pick some flowers and put them in it. Do you know where I can find them?)

This statement is full of flaws. If there is anyone in the pasture who knows best where the flowers bloom the best and most beautifully, it is Naoki.

But the Motorized Lizard didn't think so much at the moment. It almost jumped up with joy, turned around and started to lead the way for Gulton: "Gah!"

So Luton followed it silently, and soon they came to the flower field in the southeast of the pasture.

Mid-autumn is when these seasonal flowers bloom.

Thanks to the hard work of Sanbee and Bada Butterfly, the flowers here are blooming very luxuriantly.

As soon as the Motorized Lizard arrived here, it jumped into the flowers, rolled around in them, and then poked its head out of the flowers to look at Gulton behind him.

"Gah!" The motorcycle lizard tilted his head, a little confused: "Gah?"

Aren't you looking for it to play with? So why is Luton still standing there?

"That's so stupid." Guluton thought to himself, rolling around in the flowers. This was something only a childish Pokémon would do.

It sighed silently and shook its head to reject the Motorized Lizard's invitation: "Ah, geez."

"Gah."

The Motorcycle Lizard looked at Gulton with a cute expression. Seeing that Gulton really didn't want to play, it didn't pay much attention and continued to play on its own.

The only regret for the Motorized Lizard is that there are no butterflies in autumn, so it can no longer play with butterflies.

So Luton stood aside and watched for a while, feeling his eyes irritated by the exposed belly of the Motorized Lizard.

It couldn't stand it any longer, so it sneaked away while the Motorized Lizard wasn't paying attention.

After a while, the Motorized Lizard realized that Gulton had left.

It shook off the petals on its head without thinking too much. It was about to play by itself when it suddenly thought of something.

"Quaao..."

Therefore, Luton seemed to have said just now that Naoki wanted the most beautiful flowers to put at home.

In this case, let’s look for it carefully!

The Motorized Lizard turned around and pounced deep into the flowers, looking for the flowers it thought were the most beautiful.

In the living room, brother and sister Naoki and Ai Guanshi were decorating the room.

They hung colorful ribbons and light balls on the wall, and left the flying Babu woodchuck to do the work out of reach of a few people.

In the cream workshop, the Cream Fairy is working hard to make delicious fresh cream.

Even Olinio, who was usually lazy, was invited by Naoki to bring fresh olive oil to the Motorized Lizard.

Seeing that a few Pokémon were doing well, Naoki gave them all the tasks of decorating the venue.

He himself returned to the cream workshop and started making today's birthday cake.

Naoki has already memorized the process of making a birthday cake.

Eggs, milk, oven…

Add a little more emotion into it.

This is the conclusion that Naoki discovered before. Putting emotion into cooking will make the effect better.

This time he didn't need to be too deliberate in arousing his emotions, because the emotion between him and the Motorized Lizard had already been integrated into every aspect of his daily life.

Just thinking about these, those emotions came out naturally.

A year ago, the Biker Lizard hatched from the egg.

What does a newly hatched Biker Lizard look like?

Thinking of the carefree siblings he had seen in the form of babies before, Naoki's mind gradually emerged with the figure of a petite motorcycle lizard crawling out of the elf egg with a piece of eggshell on its head. .

Regrettably, he was not able to witness the birth of the Motorized Lizard.

The baby Motorized Lizard began to grow and grew to a normal size. Then it left its parents and was brought here by Mayor Thomas, who gave the Motorized Lizard to his care.

Thinking of this, Naoki sincerely wishes that the Motorized Lizard can live a healthy and happy life, everything goes well, and he is safe and happy.

With this mood, he put the finished cake into the mold and put it in the oven.

After waiting for a period of time, the fragrant cake dough was freshly baked. Naoki split it in half from the middle, then put the cut fruit pieces into it, and finally spread fresh cream evenly on top with the Frosted Milk Fairy. .

At this point, the carefully prepared birthday cake is freshly baked.

Naoki looked down, and the information about this cake came to his mind.

[Birthday cake (S): A cake made with rich cream and carefully baked cake base, and decorated with tree fruits, which contains the meaning of celebration.

Cooking effect: Birthday gift. If you give it to Pokémon on its birthday, you will receive a blessing that can permanently increase HP, physical attack, special attack, speed, physical defense, and special defense.

Comment: Give it to Pokémon as a gift! Maybe it will bring them unexpected surprises. ]

"Wow!"

Looking at this brand new birthday cake, Naoki thought that this was indeed the case.

"The cooking level has jumped directly from B to S, and the effect has gone from improving one item to improving all aspects. It's really exaggerated!" Naoki couldn't help but take a breath.

But then, a new problem came one after another.

Are the six items that birthday gifts improve are racial values, effort values, or individual values?

If it were an effort value, it would be a bit useless. Naoki felt that the lower limit of S-level cuisine should not be so low.

So, what about racial values?

If this is the case, it is an exaggeration!

The race value of the Motorized Lizard is 501. If it takes a few more years, its upper limit will exceed that of Bulbasaur and Water Arrow Turtle Charizard.

If you eat it for decades or hundreds of years, catching up with Legendary Pokémon is no longer a dream!

But there is another problem. The real world is not a game, and humans cannot see the improvement of Pokémon’s racial value with the naked eye.

And even if the racial value is high, it doesn't mean anything. After all, there are no examples in this world of Pokémon with low racial value defeating Pokémon with high racial value.

Naoki couldn't figure it out. After a brief moment of contemplation, he simply threw all these questions behind him.

Anyway, he is not a trainer, and he does not need to fight. The most important thing now is to celebrate the motorcycle lizard's birthday well.

At this time, Bada Huo, who was in charge of sentry duty, flew in from the window and informed that the Motorized Lizard was on its way back.

Hearing this, Naoki quickly returned to the living room with Frosty Milk Fairy and Olinio, holding the cake.

The scene has been decorated, the living room is decorated with lights, and there are various gift boxes piled on the sofa and wooden floor for decoration.

At this time, most of the Pokémon in the ranch have gathered here.

The Salt Barriers were huddled in the corner, the Big Milk Tanks were standing aside, and the Dragons and Hark Dragons were crowding around each other in front of the fireplace.

These were the Pokémon who had been notified by Naoki in advance and came to attend Biker's birthday party.

Naoki asked his sister to close the curtains, and suddenly the room fell into darkness.

The group of people all looked in the direction of the door, waiting for the Motorized Lizard to come in.

At this moment, the Motorized Lizard was walking on the wooden path paved by Zhi Shu.

It held several flowers in its hands, and these were the flowers it thought were the most beautiful.

The Motorcycle Lizard was walking on the road without any distractions, holding the flowers, but at this moment, it finally realized something was wrong.

The originally bustling ranch was surprisingly quiet at the moment, without a single sound.

"Gah?!"

The Motorized Lizard was startled. It turned around and looked around, and was shocked to find that even the goats that always stayed in the sheepfold were missing!

The Motorized Lizard panicked. What happened when it was picking flowers?

Thinking of this, Motorized Lizard quickly quickened his pace, wanting to go back home and see Naoki.

It came to the house, opened the door, and heard the sound of fireworks exploding, and colorful ribbons falling from its head like snowflakes.

"Aye~" my younger sister, Ai Guanshi, clapped her hands.

The Frost Milk Fairy stood on the salt stone barrier and happily put her hands on her hips: "Mama!"

"Ah!" The mounted goats also looked happy. They were quite fond of this Pokémon who often fed them grass dumplings.

Looking at the room full of Pokémon in front of him, Motorized Lizard was dumbfounded and just stood there blankly.

"Motor Lizard, happy birthday!" Naoki smiled and walked forward, pulling the Motor Lizard over who had not recovered.

Until he came to the cream cake with a candle, the Motorized Lizard still didn't react.

Seeing this, Naoki said helplessly: "Have you forgotten? Today is your birthday. On this day last year, you hatched from a Pokémon egg."

The Motorcycle Lizard nodded with a cute expression on his face: "Gah."

It opened its eyes wide and finally realized the current situation.

Nao... Naoki and everyone, are you celebrating its birthday? !

"These are the clothes I specially entrusted Mrs. Dantès to customize for you." Naoki took out the handbag and placed the clothes in front of the Motorized Lizard: "With them, you won't If you feel cold, then you can play outside in the snow with everyone.”

The Motorized Lizard listened to these words blankly, and the sudden surprise almost rushed through its mind.

At this moment, it felt like its entire body was bathing in a sea of ​​happiness.

"Gah, gah!" The motorcycle lizard made a silly cry and looked at everyone with emotion.

Gu Luton: "..." I can't see it!

"Blow out the candles!" Naoki led the motorcycle lizard to the cake.

Under everyone's gaze, the Motorized Lizard puffed up its mouth and blew out the candle.

"Snap, snap, snap!"

My sister, Guanshi, started clapping again.

Driven by it, the surrounding Pokémon let out bursts of cheers.

After blowing out the candles, it’s time to divide the cake.

The Motorized Lizard couldn't cut, so Naoki came to help it.

He cut the cake into small pieces and gave it to the Motorized Lizard to share the happiness with everyone.

The motorcycle lizard obeyed obediently.

Gu Ledun on the side looked at this scene with light shining in his eyes.

It knows that although the current Motorized Lizard looks silly, it will always remember everything that happened today and be grateful for it.

At this time, the motorcycle lizard came to it with a cake.

So Luton looked down at it, then stretched out his paws to take the piece of cake, and ate this long-awaited birthday gift into his stomach.

"Gaaao~"

Motorized Lizard was very happy to see Gulton eating the cake.

It didn't care at all that Gullerton had just left it alone in the flower field and sneaked away.

After the cake was divided, the Motorized Lizard picked up his portion and ate it with everyone.

Feeling the taste of sweet cream in his mouth, Motorized Lizard couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

What a blessing!

On August 21, Naoki received a reply from the Padian League.

Yeci's voice came from the other end of the phone: "The application you submitted to enter the Padia Crater that day has been approved by the alliance. You need to go to Jinhui Town first, where there will be staff from the Padia Alliance to take you. Go to the zero area gate leading to the inside of the giant pit."

"However, he can only send you to the zero area gate, and everything after that will be up to you."

Thinking of everything in the giant pit, Yeci couldn't help but remind him: "The inside of the Padian Giant Pit is very dangerous. Even champion trainers must be careful there. I don't want to see the Padian Alliance lose it." A talent.”

Naoki: "..."

Although he didn't know when he became a talent in the Padian League, he still kept Ye Ci's reminder in his heart: "I will be careful, Your Excellency Champion."

Ye Ci: "That's best. When do you plan to leave?"

Hearing this, Naoki turned his head and glanced at the several Hackrons playing in the living room.

There is nothing important at the ranch for the time being. He has his caring brothers and sisters here. Even if he goes out for a while, the ranch will be taken care of in an orderly manner by them.

The only thing that needed his attention was the group of wild Pokémon temporarily living in the tree orchard.

They have not yet recovered from the disaster.

Thinking of this, Zhi Shu said: "In three days!"

After three days, the electric petrel's wings should be completely healed.

"Three days later?" Yeci nodded: "Okay, I will notify the staff of the time."

Naoki asked: "How should I find him?"

"It's simple." Speaking of that person, Ye Ci's tone showed a hint of helplessness: "He is Qingmu, the master of Jinhui Gym. You only need to go to Jinhui Gym to find him."

"If he's not there, go to a place in town called Bao's Cafeteria to find him. He will take you to the zero area gate."

Not this time, not this time
