Not a trainer this time

The next morning, with the arrival of dawn, the ranch ushered in a new day.

The first thing Naoki did when he got up was to look for King Lei Guan and see where he slept last night.

Living room...no.

Second floor...no.

There is no kitchen... either.

Zhi Shu searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so he returned to the living room.

On the coffee table, the Bisi Pot and Lai Sad Tea, which had been having a tea party last night, were dozing on them. The Motorized Lizard was also sleeping in front of the fireplace.

Even my elder brother, who loves to serve as a waiter, looks listless.

Seeing this, Naoki said helplessly: "If you feel sleepy, go and take a nap. Leave all the work in the ranch to me today!"

The brother-in-law, the steward, shook his head vigorously to wake himself up, and said quickly: "Oh!"

It can still hold on!

Fine! Naoki nodded and turned around to take a look in the wine cellar below. There was still no sign of King Lei Guan here.

It seems that Queen Lei spent the night outside last night.

After thinking for a moment, Naoki was ready to go outside and take a look.

But when he returned to the living room, he saw his brother Dozing There again.

My sister loves to control the waiter, covering her mouth and snickering.

Naoki: "..."

It happened that Bada Huo landed in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window next to the living room.

Zhi Shu commanded: "Ba Dahu, use hypnotic powder on my brother's carefree servant!"

"What's wrong?!"

Bad Butterfly was suddenly startled. After confirming that Naoki was not joking, he flew to his sleepy brother Ai Guanshi and fanned it with powder that could make people sleep.

Soon, the elder brother fell into sleep.

"Okay, sister, send your brother upstairs to rest!" Naoki let out a long sigh of relief.

"Love~"

The little sister, who loves to take care of her, readily agreed and used her superpowers to control her brother and send him back to his room.

Baboo, Frost Milk Fairy, and Ice Eevee are also sleeping.

Zhi Shu did not bother them, but turned around and took Gu Ledun outside the pasture.

Although it hasn't snowed yet this season, the temperature has dropped below ten degrees. In this environment, some Pokémon who are afraid of the cold rarely leave their nests to play outside.

As soon as Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun went out, they saw King Lei Guan petting his beloved horse on a spacious grassland.

Hearing the noise, King Leiguan turned around and looked at his little believer gently: "Mooguanjijiji!"

Naoki: "..."

He almost forgot that he had eaten the translator Guarzizi, and now he could no longer understand Lei Guanwang's speech.

"I still have sunflowers harvested in the previous autumn at home, and I have to make another batch of translation melon seed cakes later." Naoki felt a little troubled in his heart: "It's a pity that I can't make a dish that can directly communicate with Pokémon."

The power that allows humans to communicate with Pokémon is very rare in this world.

The power of waveguide, the power of Changpan, the power of overcoming...

The level and quality of dishes with this kind of effect must be very high, and he might not be able to make them yet.

After thinking for a while, Naoki greeted Lei Guanwang: "Good morning! How did you rest last night?"

King Lei Guan nodded slightly: "Guanjiji!"

The bad-tempered snowstorm horses around him dug their hooves at the soil in dissatisfaction and snorted twice.

Now, even without the need for translation, Naoki could understand what Snowstorm Ma meant.

It is hungry and wants to eat the ice radish growing on the crown snowfield.

The Lingyou Horse on the side didn't react at all. It stood silently, its eyes quiet.

Seeing this, Zhi Shu brought some tree fruits and placed them in front of the two horses.

I saw them lowering their heads to sniff at first, and then being a little absent-minded, but maybe they were hungry, so they finally lowered their heads to eat.

"It seems that the ghost horses and snowstorm horses don't like to eat ordinary tree fruits..." Naoki thought to himself.

If this is the case, the plan to create special farmland will have to be mentioned.

"Wait for me for a while. I'm going to milk and feed the goats. After I'm done, I'll come over and plant radishes for you." Naoki said to the two horses.

At this time, Snowstorm Horse finally calmed down, lowered his head and ate the fruit without knowing the taste.

Naoki nodded to King Lei Guan, then took Gu Ledun to pick up the milk bucket and went to the sheepfold where the goat was mounted.

In the sheepfold, the three mount goats were already waiting there energetically.

They obediently leaned down to let Naoki milk the cow, and then went to eat their favorite grass dumplings.

Not far away, King Lei Guan watched this scene.

He had a lot to say about those three sheep Pokémon and that mysterious tree.

But His little believers seem to be unable to understand His words now...

There was confusion in King Lei Guan's eyes.

Before coming here, he thought this was just an ordinary pasture, but now it seemed that it was not what he thought.

Everything here is full of secrets.

After milking the three sheep, Naoki went to the chicken hut to pick up the eggs laid by the hens last night.

Then, he and Gulton went to the Pokémon House to move the Moo Moo fresh milk collected by the big milk tanks with the automatic milking machine to the warehouse, and put it together with the goat milk, waiting for Zach to come to collect the goods in the afternoon.

During this period, the two Kuailongs and five Hakrons on Kuailong Island came to work.

When they saw Naoki coming back, they all happily ran over to greet him.

Zhi Shu said hello to them one by one, and then watched the two working dragons go to pick up the goat milk from his sister, Ai Guanshi, and fly to the town to deliver the goods.

The five Hackrons followed Naoki in a swarm.

Wherever Naoki goes, they follow.

In response, Naoki decided to buy five Hackron pendants.

It is winter now, and the land in the pasture is temporarily idle and does not need watering.

Therefore, Naoki brought the steel armor crow feathers obtained from the Galar region to the tree orchard located in the south of the ranch.

Within a month, the little blacksmith had completed his first hammer.

It's just that this hammer looks a bit rough.

When Naoki arrived, the little blacksmith was standing under a fruit tree inspecting his hammer.

A Tibetan chinchilla stands on an upper branch holding a fruit and munching on it.

In the forest not far away, a family of rat cubs that had grown up a lot were playing a hide-and-seek game with each other among the thick fallen leaves.

With the addition of this group of wild Pokémon, it has added a lot of vitality to this tree orchard.

The little blacksmith was frowning, looking very dissatisfied with his work.

Naoki stepped forward and asked curiously: "Is it done?"

Hearing the sound, the little blacksmith and the chinchilla above him raised their heads and saw Naoki approaching.

Their eyes lit up, and then the little blacksmith raised the rough hammer in his hand to show Naoki: "Wow..."

Zhi Shu looked up and down, and as expected he found that the quality of this hammer was very poor.

There are even rusty spots on it...

There is no doubt that this is the reason why the materials used by the young blacksmiths are of poor quality.

The little blacksmith also knew this, if only there were better metals.

However, this place has been turned over many times, and there is no metal suitable for making a hammer.

Without a hammer, the little blacksmith lived an insecure life all day long.

Thinking of this, it couldn't help but feel a little depressed: "Wow..."

At this time, Naoki smiled and took out a box of steel-armored crow feathers from behind: "Dang-dang-dang! See what this is?"

The little blacksmith was stunned for a moment. He looked down and saw a box full of metal feathers shining with jet black luster.

This, this, this? !

The little blacksmith opened his eyes wide, somewhat in disbelief.

Isn't this a rare metal that can only be found by the most powerful giant blacksmith in their tribe?

There were several giant blacksmiths in the place where it used to live. They were extremely powerful and often swung their hammers to attack the steel-armored crows flying in the sky.

When those steel-armored crows are hit, they will drop some steel-like metal feathers.

I heard from those giant blacksmiths that a hammer made of this metal can break anything.

So much so that owning a steel-armored crow hammer has become the dream of every little blacksmith in the tribe.

"Give it to you." Naoki said.

The little blacksmith was shocked: "Wow?!"

"That's right." Naoki said patiently: "These feathers are the gifts I brought back to you from this trip. You can use them to create a hammer that is uniquely yours."

"Wow..."

Hearing this, the little blacksmith's eyes filled with water, and he was extremely moved.

This human named Naoki... is so wonderful!

Not only did they rescue them and provide them with food and shelter, but now they also gave them a box of precious steel armored crow feathers!

The little blacksmith was so moved that he almost cried. He bit his lip and said with tears in his eyes: "Wow!"

No one has ever been so kind to it!

Naoki was a little confused: "...Okay, okay, isn't it just a few feathers? I hope I can help you. Besides, after you finish your hammer, I have one more thing to ask you. Then Just help Babu Woodchuck build a hammer suitable for him."

Hearing this, the little blacksmith wiped his tears vigorously, and then nodded heavily.

It must use these feathers and its own hammer to create the best hammer in the world for Naoki!

With these steel-armored crow feathers, the little blacksmith said goodbye to Tibetan Chinchilla and Naoki, and went to retreat to practice.

Naoki was infected by the serious mood of the little blacksmith. He smiled with emotion. Sure enough, there are still many hardworking Pokémon in the world!

However, when he raised his head, he saw the round and full chinchilla, which was obviously much fatter than before.

Naoki: "..."

Okay, he takes back what he said before, not all Pokémon work that hard.

The Pokémon in the tree orchard are still the same.

Zhi Shu walked around here, saying hello to Pokémon such as Mouse, Yo-Yo, Shuttlecock, and Mushroom. He also checked the condition of their wooden huts to see if they were damaged.

When it was the lazy otter's turn, the lazy otter was lazily lying on the thick fallen leaves and eating a leaf.

At first, Naoki didn't feel anything was wrong, until Gulton next to him let out a confused cry.

"Ah gah?"

"What's wrong?" Naoki turned his head and looked at the lazy otter following Gulton's gaze.

The next second, he finally reacted.

The color of this lazy otter's fur turned lavender!

Lilac...isn't this the color of the Sparkling Lazy Otter?

impossible? He clearly remembered that this lazy otter was an ordinary lazy otter.

After a brief shock, Naoki stepped forward to check on the lazy otter.

He rummaged around in the lazy otter's fur and soon found a spot where the fur was shorter than the rest.

This is a place that was once burned bare by fire.

This also means that Lazy Otter is still the same Lazy Otter and has not been replaced.

But...why did it suddenly change color?

Could it be that the painter dyed its fur?

With doubts, Zhi Shu found Tu Biao Ke who was drawing graffiti on the trunk of the fruit tree and asked: "Tu Biao Ke, do you know what the fur of the lazy otter is about?"

"Zhizhi?" Tu Biaoke was a little confused at first, but he quickly came to his senses: "Zhizhi!"

It stopped graffiti, led Naoki to Lazy Otter, searched the tree crown, and then stretched out its hand to point to one of the berries.

Naoki looked up and saw a pink fruit that he had never seen before, hanging quietly on the branch.

[Dyeing Fruit: A special ingredient. After eating it, the color of the Pokémon will change accordingly. It can be eaten directly or after cooking. ]

Naoki was surprised.

Is this a mutation in the fruit produced by the fruit tree?

If you think about it, before this orchard was fully grown, the mount goats would come over every day and use grass energy to help them grow.

Dyeing fruits, does this mean we can create artificial shiny Pokémon? !

If it is eaten by Guluton, Guluton will turn black. If it is eaten by Babu Mudhog, Babu Mudhog will turn into the ultra-rare pink Babu Mudhog...

Naoki imagined what it would be like if Babu the groundhog turned pink.

Even cuter...

His heart moved slightly, and he quickly and carefully searched the nearby fruit trees.

However, it is a pity that this batch of tree fruits seems to have only produced two dyed fruits.

One of them was eaten by the lazy otter as food.

Naoki picked the dyed fruit and put it away.

At this time, his sister Ai Guanshi had prepared breakfast and came over to call him back for dinner.

Zhi Shu responded, said goodbye to Tu Biao Ke and Lazy Otter, and turned to go home for dinner.

At the dining table, Naoki looked around, thinking about who would use this dyed fruit.

"Before using it, you should ask the Pokémon what it thinks." Naoki thought silently.

Because in this world, some Pokémon of different colors will be regarded as aliens by their tribesmen and will be ostracized and discriminated against.

"Do you want to use it for Gu Ledun?"

If he really proposed this idea, Luton would probably not reject him, and with its strength, it probably wouldn't care about that either.

But there is only one dyed fruit, and once you use it you can't change it back. You don't know when it will grow on the tree next time.

Therefore, you must be cautious.

After thinking for a moment, Naoki decided to put away the dyed fruits first and wait until he and the Pokémon had discussed it.

After breakfast, Naoki began to fry the translation melon seeds, and finally added syrup to make them into melon seed cakes.

After everything was done, it was ten o'clock in the morning.

Zhi Shu ate a few pieces of melon seed cake, then went to the pasture to find King Lei Guan, and discussed with him about creating a special field.

"It will snow in another half month, and the weather is too cold for crops to grow, so I don't plan to plant other crops in the ground until spring comes."

King Leicester realized that the little believer could understand Him again.

"Why?" He asked puzzledly: "With my power, even in snowy fields with cold weather, I can make crops grow as usual."

Naoki: "...Okay, actually I want to give myself a holiday."

King Lei Guan was slightly startled: "On holiday?"

Naoki said truthfully: "Yes, I have been busy in the fields from spring to autumn. If I farm in winter, I will be busy all year round. I don't want to live such an impatient life. It is still useful to take a proper rest and relax." necessary."

King Lei Guan nodded slightly: "I see, I understand, that kind of life is indeed tiring."

Naoki smiled slightly. He planned to save the land in front of him for growing seasonal crops. As for the radishes for the two horses, he planned to carve out a separate field.

So he knocked on the gopher-dug hole next to the field.

Soon, the gopher in the underground cave heard the noise from above, climbed out along the passage, stuck out his little head and looked at Naoki: "Zhizhi?"

"I have something to ask you. Help me open up two more fields behind this land!" Naoki said.

"Squeak!" The gopher said it understood. It immediately dived underground, came to the area pointed out by Zhi Shu, and worked hard to cultivate the land.

After a while, two neat fields took shape due to the efforts of the gophers.

King Lei Guan looked at this scene in surprise and couldn't help but sigh: "You are really popular with these children!"

After finishing his work, the gopher ran back excitedly. Naoki smiled and fed the food in his hand to it and said:

"I provide them with food and shelter, and they stay here to help me. This is probably a mutually dependent relationship, right?"

"More than that." King Lei Guan said, "I can feel that these children like you from the bottom of their hearts."

Naoki smiled slightly, then took the radish seeds prepared in advance from Gulton and planted them in two fields.

After he completed this work, King Lei Guan rode on the snowstorm horse, used his mental power to control the ice energy on the snowstorm horse, and injected them into the field on the left.

In the blink of an eye, the edge of the field was covered with a thick layer of frost.

The ice and snow field is complete.

Then, King Leiguan flashed, and he directly used teleportation to transfer to the ghost horse.

The majestic spiritual power pours the ghost attribute energy from the ghost horse into the earth.

I saw that the originally brown field was covered with a layer of faint purple at a speed visible to the naked eye. Threads of purple mist billowed in the soil, making it look like a dream.

The ghost field is also completed.

Looking at this scene, King Lei Guan took the final step.

The huge flower buds on his head bloomed with blue light, and then, the two fields in front of him also erupted with a strong blue light.

As the light enveloped them, the radish seeds buried deep in the soil quickly broke out.

When the light dissipated, black radishes and ice radishes were already growing in the two fields.

The gopher who was watching this scene opened his eyes wide in shock, showing a stunned expression.

"Squeak!"

The snowstorm horse snorted impatiently. When he saw the radish growing, he immediately ran forward impatiently, lowered his head and started to feast in the field.

The ghost horse glanced at the little gopher, and then slowly walked to the ghost field, chewing its favorite black radish.

Looking at this scene, Naoki felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"Okay, now you can grow radishes for them at any time!"

King Lei Guan nodded slightly.

Taking this opportunity, He asked His little disciple about the tree.

Lei Guanwang: "Actually, there is another thing that concerns me more than this."

Naoki was a little surprised: "What?"

King Lei Guan turned around and cast her sights on the goats in the distance, as well as the young seedling that was being cultivated by them on the grass field.

"Where did that seedling come from? I felt a very strong life force in it, as if the entire vitality of nature was present in front of me."
