Not a trainer this time

"I am King Leiguan, you don't need to be afraid."

King Lei Guan looked down at the teapot in front of him and said in a kind tone.

He released as much kindness as possible towards the Pokémon living in the teapot.

The Kesi Pot felt a warm feeling. It raised the lid with its head again and carefully looked at the strange Pokémon in front of it.

King Lei Guan smiled at it.

Wei Sihu's eyes lit up, and he was obviously not as scared as before.

It felt that this Pokémon had no ill intentions toward it.

The two people not far away looked at this scene, and Mike grinned:

"It seems that the Horrible Pot seems to like King Lei Guan very much! In this case, you don't have to worry. When you go back, let King Lei Guan take care of them. They will be able to integrate into their new home very quickly!"

At this time, King Lei Guan had already picked up the Wei Si Pot with his hands.

At first, Wei Sihu was a little uncomfortable with it.

Naoki heard King Lei Guan say: "Just follow me for now!"

Bi Sihu was stunned and happily agreed.

It twisted its body, stretched out two pairs of purple calves from the bottom of the pot, broke away from King Lei Guan's hand, and floated honestly next to King Lei Guan's big crown.

It looks like the teapot decoration pendant that Lei Guanwang bought with krypton gold.

Naoki raised his eyebrows, feeling that the Horror Pot was unexpectedly suitable for King Lei Guan.

"Next, you should take out the elf balls to subdue them!" Mike said: "However, I am not very familiar with them, and there is no way to make them obedient, so you have to rely on yourself to subdue them."

Naoki nodded, this is natural.

He took out two Poké Balls from his backpack and threw them towards the Lai Ai Tea on the table.

The elf ball successfully hit Lai Bei Cha, and with a click, Lai Bei Cha's small body turned into a red light and entered the elf ball.

The elf ball shook slightly for a few times, and then calmed down. He didn't know whether Lai Cha recognized him, or was too weak to break free from the restriction of the elf ball.

Just like the various strange methods of conquering in the ancient Xicui area, most of these methods do not require Pokémon battles.

For example, sneak attack from behind and throw the ball when the Pokémon is not paying attention.

Or you can physically fight Pokémon, dodge their moves, consume their physical strength, and then throw the ball immediately after the Pokémon is exhausted.

And use a variety of props, including but not limited to clay balls, smoke balls, sticky balls, tree fruits and other items.

After thinking for a moment, Naoki put away Lai Cha's Poké Ball.

Then, he walked to the Horrible Thought Pot and tried to communicate with it.

"From now on, we will start a new life together. I will take you back to my home. It is safe there and no Pokémon will hurt you. I can also prepare delicious black tea for you."

Xu Sihu looked at him with her mosquito-repellent eyes, with an expression that seemed to be judging the truth or falsehood of these words.

At this time, King Lei Guan on the side also nodded slightly: "I will also go to that place with Naoki."

Xu Sihu's little head thought carefully for a while, and finally nodded.

It chose to trust this human and this Pokémon.

"Then please take good care of me from now on, Horrible Thought Pot!" Naoki smiled slightly, holding the elf ball in his hand and placing it in front of the Horrible Thought Pot floating in mid-air.

The horror pot looked at it suspiciously for a few times, then tentatively stretched out its little hand to touch the buttons on the elf ball.

The moment the hand of the Kesi Pot touched the button, its body and the teapot were put into the Poké Ball.

The buttons on the elf ball flashed twice, then stopped.

This means that the conquest was successful!

Zhi Shu was in a good mood after receiving a set of genuine Lai Sad Tea and genuine Horror Teapot.

Then, they should return to the Padia region with a full load!

Although he had expected it in his heart, when it came to this moment, Mike couldn't help but invite:

"Are you willing to stay in the Galar region? If you are willing, I can give you a generous annual salary."

A trainer of this strength is extremely popular no matter where he is, if their company can sign such a trainer.

So how much profit they could get, Mike didn't dare to think about it.

For their company, this was a godsend.

Naoki naturally understood what the other party meant. He smiled and shook his head and said, "Thank you very much for the invitation, but I still prefer my current life."

Hearing this, Mike knew they had no chance.

He felt extremely regretful: "Are you working in the Padian League?"

The Padian Alliance will definitely not forget to recruit such a wild trainer, right?

However, the next second, Mike heard an answer that he couldn't believe.

"No." Naoki shook his head: "Actually, I am a rancher and I am running a ranch with my Pokémon."

Nani? !

Hearing this answer, Mike fell into a daze: "Rancher?" Did he hear it correctly?

Naoki: "Yes, the kind that raises Pokémon and grows crops to sell to big cities."

A few words suddenly came to Mike's mind.

Ranchers, raising Pokémon, farming... aren't these farmers in the countryside?

How can it be? !

The microphone was messy in the wind, but looking at the Pokémon behind the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but make a bold guess in his mind.

Is there a possibility that the other party was once a powerful champion-level trainer. During his long career as a trainer, he felt that this kind of life was too boring, so he gave up everything and returned to his hometown to farm with his Pokémon companions. ?

Rural re-employment of retired champions.

This is really... people don't know what to say for a moment!

To be able to give up fame, wealth and status, one must have a firm heart to choose such a path!

That's right, a trainer with such a determined heart cannot be won over by superficial money.

You can tell from his abandonment in the Rising Stars Game.

At this moment, Mike completely gave up the idea of ​​winning over the other party. He just sighed with regret: "It would be great if I could meet you earlier!"

Naoki: "..."

Why could he suddenly not understand what the other party was saying?

After a moment of silence, Zhi Shu gave up thinking and began to say goodbye: "We have to leave. If you have time, you can go to the Zhi Shu Ranch in Zhiqin Town in the Padiya area as a guest. We will entertain you well then." you."

Padiya area...Zhishu Ranch in Ziqin Town...

Mike silently remembered this location in his heart.

Naoki didn't say much. After nodding to him, he turned around and went downstairs with Gu Ledun and King Lei Guan.

Therefore, Luton shouldered the big bag of steel armor crow feathers without hesitation.

There was no other reason than that Naoki was too weak to carry it.

Whenever this time comes, Naoki can't help but sigh, Guluton is really reliable!

Before dark, they arrived at Gongmen City Station.

If they want to return to the Padia area, they must first go to Shuizhou Town and transfer to a ship.

The steam train in the Galar region was very fast, and it stopped at the Water Boat Town Station in only four hours.

At this time, it was already five o'clock in the evening, just in time for the last ship to the Padia region to depart.

Taking Gu Ledun and Lei Guanwang, Zhi Shu quickly bought the boat tickets.

By the time they ran to the deck, the sun had begun to set, and the sunset was filling the sky and pouring on the sea.

The ship's whistle sounded melodiously, and it sailed into the distance, as if running towards the sun.

Behind him is the Galar region that is gradually receding. As the ship sails, the streets, port, scenery, pedestrians, and lighthouse of Water Boat Town begin to become blurred.

Naoki stood on the deck and watched the scene. King Lei Guan and Gu Ledun stood beside him, looking towards the direction of Galar with him.

"This trip to Galar is really rewarding!" Naoki thought happily.

Not only did he conquer the coveted Snowstorm Horse and Ghost Horse, but even King Leiguan, the King of Fertility, chose to leave with him.

Not only that, he also met the legendary Pokémon Cangxiang and Zangmarant, and got a complete set of authentic Lai Cha and Xisi pot tea sets.

What a joy!

However, what makes Naoki even more happy is that he can finally go home and see everyone in the ranch again.

It took him a lot of time to leave. I wonder how everyone in the ranch is doing.

Are there any challengers coming to take on the Trial of Green Grass on Mount Goat?

Is the little blacksmith's hammer finished?

Did the Salt Barrier evolve into a Rock Djinn?

In winter, there is no grass growing on the ground, and there is no fresh grass. Are you still used to eating from big milk cans?

Are there any new Pokémon guests visiting the Pokémon Tavern they built together?

Have Dream and Bear Baby come back from their travels with new postcards and gifts?

The weather is getting colder and colder. Three Bees and Bada Butterfly should have hid in the warm glass greenhouse early, right?

Naoki desperately wants to know the answers to all these.

He missed everyone on the ranch just as everyone missed him.

King Lei Guan was also watching the Galar region fading away.

Everything from the past resurfaced before his eyes.

The prosperous land of Galar in the past, the humans who believed in Him and paid tribute to Him, the disaster that enveloped the entire region, and the coronation ceremony of the Crown Temple.

Then his power was exhausted and he fell into a deep sleep, and his beloved horse left him. When he woke up, he forgot many things because of excessive consumption of power, and wandered alone in the vast snowfield.

King Lei Guan's eyes were calm, and he looked into the distance like a weather-beaten wise man.

He experienced many things in the first half of his life, and even the cruelest time has never washed them away. Just like the bricks and stones of the Crown Temple, they remain timeless even after going through ups and downs.

What happened after that?

Pictures from the past continued to appear in King Lei Guan's mind.

One day, he suddenly felt a faint trace of faith coming from a distant land.

At first, He was very confused and confused.

But as time went by, that belief grew more and more, and it gradually grew from a small flame into a brilliant and grand flame.

It was His devout little followers who were praising His name in the land.

King Lei Guan looked gentle and kind.

He closed his eyes and opened them again after a moment.

That’s it! The past cannot be pursued!

Today, He is no longer the King of Galar believed by humans.

From now on, He was just an ordinary farmer like the young believer.

All the responsibilities belonging to the king fell away from him like a tide. At this moment, King Lei Guan felt more relaxed than ever before.

He retracted his gaze from the land of Galar, turned around, and began to look forward to the unfamiliar life of a farmer in the future.

Padia is His new home, but He will never forget Galar.

*

It takes three days to return from the Galar region to the Padia region.

During this trip, Naoki had been running around all the time, but tonight he had a rare moment of free time.

Instead of wandering around on the deck, he took a pack of black tea provided for passengers from the ship's restaurant and returned to the cabin.

The sea is very calm at night, and there are occasional waves on the blue sea, which looks deep and mysterious under the light of the full moon.

The cabin is not big, about twenty to thirty square meters. There is a bed inside, with a bedside table next to the bed, and a desk under the porthole for passengers to read and write.

Naoki released all the Pokémon except Snowpony and Ghosthorse.

Lei Guanwang's feet lifted off the ground and floated above the floor.

The motorcycle lizard was playing with a ship ornament with a curious look on his face.

"Ah geez..."

Gu Ledun lay on the floor and yawned, seeming a little sleepy.

Naoki noticed this scene and said smoothly: "If you are sleepy, just go to sleep first!"

But as soon as these words came out, Luton immediately felt no longer sleepy.

"Ah gah~"

It stood up energetically, walked to King Lei Guan, and watched the movements of Naoki's hands with it.

Naoki is making tea.

To be precise, I was making tea for Lai Bei Tea and Wei Si Pot.

These two Pokémon are very magical. They can inject their power into black tea and transform it into a part of their body.

As the tea leaves brew, the unique smell of black tea spreads in the room.

[Black tea (C): Black tea brewed from poorer quality tea leaves may taste slightly bitter.

Cooking effect: Refreshing and refreshing lv1. After drinking it, humans and Pokémon will be so miserable that they will wake up without feeling sleepy.

Comment: Your cooking method enhances the bitter taste of black tea and makes ordinary black tea have the ability of coffee. It is really an unexpected result. ]

Naoki: "..."

God is so refreshing...

He originally wanted to make a cup of black tea for Lai Sad Tea and Wei Si Pot to taste, in order to build a closer relationship.

But now looking at this cup of black tea, he suddenly felt that maybe this thing was not very suitable for feeding them.

Looking up, the Bisi Pot was staring at the cup of black tea. As for Lai Sad Tea... Naoki didn't know where its eyes were.

The air was very awkward for a while.

Naoki asked tentatively: "What do you think of the taste?"

Lai Bei Tea floated backwards, and it was obvious that it didn't like the taste of black tea very much.

And Wei Sihu tentatively came over.

A lot of the black tea in its body had been used when it was in the warehouse, and now it needs to replenish some to increase the amount.

Naoki was a little surprised to see Weisihu's reaction.

Is it possible that this Horisi Pot prefers bitter black tea to sweet black tea?

He thought for a moment and pushed the black tea over.

Although Weisi Pot hesitated, he still leaned out of the pot, picked up the cup of tea with his two small hands, and slowly poured it into the pot.

Soon, the small cup of black tea was gone.

But Wei Sihu's originally thin body was changing rapidly.

It's putting its power into black tea. Use this to increase your portion size!

"How amazing!" Naoki looked at this scene with interest.

He remembered that the illustrated book said that the black tea infused with the power of the Horror Teapot has a unique taste and aroma. The taste and aroma are very unique.

However, at this moment, the originally normal mood in front of him suddenly became depressed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its face looked dejected, as if it had tasted all the bitterness of life.

"call……"

The villain of the Wei Si Pot sighed dejectedly, and then stayed in the pot with a bitter look on his face. He put his arm on the edge of the pot, supported the barely visible lower handle with his small hand, looked down at the table, and made a thought. the posture of the person.

It's just that there is no expression of thinking on its face, but a look full of troubles, and it will let out a sad sigh from time to time.

Naoki:?

King Lei Guan was also very surprised. He asked curiously: "What is the reason for this?"

Naoki: "...I don't know."

He tried hard to recall information about Pokémon such as Horrible Pot.

Soon, he had an incredible guess in his mind.

That is, the temperament of the horror pot will change due to the taste of the black tea in the pot!
