Not a trainer this time

To be honest, Naoki was a little scared about going to the rich man's banquet.

In his previous life, he was just a small social creature, and he had never been to a place where rich and powerful people gathered.

But in order to be able to play with a smartphone as soon as possible, Naoki decided to visit and see the banquet held by the upper class in the Pokémon world.

Naoki had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but his face remained calm.

Adek on the side continued happily: "Speaking of which, I haven't been there for a long time, but don't worry, we will be together when the time comes!"

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Adek." Naoki said politely.

Adek patted him on the shoulder cheerfully: "Don't be so polite to me, hehe, there will be a lot of delicacies that are hard to see outside on that occasion. Those big bosses will discuss business with each other. People like me who don't open a company Trainers will only take Vulcan Moths around to eat."

Naoki: "..."

He thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the time?"

Adek recalled it carefully: "Early April! Either the 1st or the 2nd. Today is already March 23rd, and there are still eight days left."

Naoki nodded, that's good, he can go to the horse racing meeting with confidence.

Adek: "I will stay in the Padia area during this period. Then we can take a plane to Hezhong together!"

"Okay!" Naoki simply invited: "Then stay here at the ranch! There happens to be a horse racing conference planned to be held in the town, and Mr. Adek can relax there."

"Okay, then it's settled!"

The Vulcan Moth was safe and sound, and the big rock hanging in Adek's heart finally fell to the ground. Only then did he have the time to visit his benefactor's ranch.

Seeing that he was interested in this place, Naoki simply took Adek out and wandered around the ranch.

The ranch is not very big, but the atmosphere here is very fulfilling.

On the neat ridges, crops are growing vigorously.

Several mounted goats were leisurely basking in the sun on the grass.

There were also many Pokémon that were not in the Hezhu area chasing and playing with each other, and bursts of laughter came from their mouths.

Looking at this well-kept pasture and this group of Pokémon, Adek couldn't help but sigh:

"What a blessing!"

Humans and Pokémon live happily together. This is simply the life he dreams of.

Naoki raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Mr. Adek also wants to be a rancher?"

To be honest, Adek was a little moved.

Nothing in this world lasts forever, and Pokémon's life will eventually come to an end.

Maybe they can't stay with each other until the last moment, but the time and memories living together are eternal happiness for Adek.

Because of this, they must live in the present and cherish every moment.

Unfortunately, Adek could only think about these things.

Because the Hezhong area is not stable...

Thinking of this, Adek sighed and shook his head: "Although I am envious, I am the champion of the United League. The champion's duty is to hope for and protect the happiness of humans and Pokémon more than anyone else."

Therefore, after returning to the Hezhong area, he planned to continue his journey.

Go meet more trainers, teach them to learn to maintain the relationship with Pokémon, and establish a bond between humans and Pokémon.

Naoki knew this would be the answer. Thinking of the plasma mass in the Hezhong area, Naoki cheered for Adek: "Come on, Mr. Adek!"

"Yeah!" Adek nodded with a smile. He would not let his fans down!

At this time, several black shadows suddenly flew in the sky.

Adek raised his head and saw several fast dragons carrying satchels landing in the pasture.

After a busy day of delivery work, the dragons happily found their brother Ai Guanshi.

They received their own poffins from their brother's caretakers, then hugged the poffin box and ran to sit on the grass, enjoying the delicious poffins while basking in the sun.

Looking at the fast dragons feasting on food, Adek couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

But at this moment, five more Hackosaurs flew out of nowhere. They flew in front of the Kuailongs, and pestered them to eat Baofen.

"!!!"

A capital exclamation mark appeared above Adek's head: "So many fast dragons!"

one two three……

Counting the one he saw just now, there are actually four Velociraptors and five Hackosaurs in this ranch!

Adek was shocked: "Then, those dragons are your Pokémon?"

Darling, there are so many dragons!

As far as he knows, there are not so many fast dragons in the Dragon King Yulongdu in the Kanto area!

"Not entirely." Naoki explained: "They are the Pokémon I hired. They are currently working in the ranch and help me deliver the goods ordered by customers to the town."

Although these greedy dragons do have the idea of ​​becoming his Pokémon...

However, after hearing this, the incredible expression on Adek's face became even worse: "Delivery?"

"Yes." Naoki nodded.

Adek didn't know what to say for a moment.

Thinking of the Pokémon he just saw in his mind, Naoki is indeed not an ordinary farmer...

Adek seemed to have thought of something interesting and said to Naoki:

"I really want to know what Yulongdu's expression will be when he sees this scene."

Naoki: "..."

Du was originally from the Yulong family, so it shouldn't be unusual for him to ask Kuailong to help deliver things, right?

But as Naoki is a trainer in the Padia region, the Kanto region is very far away from Padia, so there is no way for Watari's name to spread here.

Therefore, Naoki pretended not to know Watari.

As a result, Adek became interested when he saw his expression, and pulled him to tell him about Du's deeds.

"That guy from Yuryudu is the champion of the Kanto region. He comes from the Yuryu family in Yanmo City and is very good at using dragon-type Pokémon."

"And the representative Pokémon of the Yulong family is Kuailong, but Pokémon like Kuailong are very rare. Even the Yulong family doesn't have that many."

"It is said that at the beginning, Yuryudu used Pokémon with dragons in their names such as Gyarados, Charizard, and Fossil Pteranodon."

"If the elders of the Yulong Family knew that there were so many fast dragons raised in your pasture, they would be shocked. In comparison, your place is the real Dragon Sanctuary!" Adek sighed.

Naoki: "..."

"Mr. Adek knows Yulongdu?" Naoki asked.

Adek nodded: "He also went to that dinner before, and I had a few words with him at that time."

Naoki suddenly realized: "That's it!"

Adek looked at the group of dragons and other Pokémon in the pasture, and suddenly changed the topic: "But then again, you are also a champion, right?"

No, not really, Naoki shook his head: "The champion of the Padia region has always been Chief Yeci."

"Huh?" Adek was a little surprised. Could it be that he saw it wrong?

But after thinking about it, Adek realized that the situation in the Padian League was different from other regions.

In addition to regional champions, there are also many championship-level trainers here.

The Naoki in front of him was probably one of them in the past. In the end, he may have been tired of the life of a champion, so he chose to retire and brought his Pokémon to this place to run a ranch.

Adek intuitively discovered the truth, and he felt more and more that he and Naoki had fallen in love.

No matter it's the attitude and opinion towards Pokémon.

It doesn’t focus on Pokémon battles, but focuses on the happy time living with Pokémon.

At this time, a new trainer holding Pichu suddenly came to the ranch.

"Um, excuse me! Is this Mr. Naoki's ranch?" the girl asked expectantly.

Naoki was stunned, looked back at the Grape Academy uniform she was wearing, and nodded: "I am Naoki."

The girl's eyes lit up, and then she said with fighting spirit: "Great! Mr. Naoki, Pichu and I are here to participate in the grass trial in the pasture!"

Naoki was not surprised by this situation. As the students passing by challenged him, it was only a matter of time before word spread about the various trials in the ranch.

Therefore, he asked: "How many badges have you collected?"

The girl was a little embarrassed to say: "Well... Pichu and I just entered school this year and haven't started to participate in the gym challenge yet, but don't worry Mr. Naoki! We have undergone hellish special training in the academy, and everything will be fine." !”

Naoki said with a straight face: "No, you are not qualified to participate in the trial."

The girl suddenly withered like an eggplant beaten by frost.

As early as last year, the grass trial at Zhishu Ranch began to become famous in the college, and gradually formed a rumor in the college.

It is said that in a remote country town, there is a place called Zhishu Ranch.

The rancher there is a powerful champion-level trainer, and he has set up extremely difficult trials in the ranch.

It is said that the difficulty of those trials is higher than the championship challenge of the Padian League.

But the difference is that the purpose of the trials in Naoki Ranch is not to win, but a sparring trial, which can help Pokémon strengthen its strength and hone its fighting skills.

And in addition, as long as someone can pass the trial, it is said that he can receive a mysterious gift from the master of the trial.

Many students came here specifically to take part in the trial, but the trial was too difficult, and not a single one had passed it so far.

Even later, Mr. Naoki added conditions to the trial, saying that you must collect a certain number of badges before you can participate.

For this reason, everyone began to speculate whether Mr. Naoki was a mysterious championship-level trainer.

In order to compete with the championship-level trainers, many trainers came over, and being able to participate in the trial became a bragging rights for some students.

Like "I participated in the Trial of Green Grass! I lasted thirty seconds on that mount goat!"

"Huh, it's only thirty seconds! I lasted for a minute!"

"Me too. I participated in the Thunder and Lightning Trial and successfully evaded several attacks from champion-level Pokémon. Isn't it amazing?"

But even so, some people still came to the ranch to challenge, but Mr. Naoki rejected them.

Because their strength did not meet the requirements.

At first, these trainers were sad and worked hard to collect gym badges.

But later, a few trainers found a way to challenge the Green Grass Trial, which was to show pity to Mr. Naoki, express their desire to fight powerful Pokémon, and tell him that they wanted to experience the legendary Green Grass. Trial.

That way, Mr. Naoki will relent after fending off his enthusiastic challengers, allowing you to give it a try.

Thinking of this, the girl asked: "Please, Mr. Naoki, let us give it a try! Let us see the strength of champion-level Pokémon. Pichu and I will work hard to move towards that place!"

Naoki suddenly had a headache, and it came again and again.

His words became looser: "It's not that I won't let you challenge, it's just that if the strength gap between Pokémon is too large, the Pokémon will be seriously injured if you are not careful."

He'll be fine with the living goat's milk here, but it would be dangerous if these trainers had this idea to challenge stronger Pokémon in the wild.

The girl was full of fighting spirit: "Don't worry! I have prepared various medicines for injuries!"

The little Pichu in her arms also jumped onto the grass, clenching its little paws with high spirits, and a weak electric current shot out from her cheeks: "Pichu!"

Naoki: "..."

He sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll let you guys give it a try, but remember to act within your ability, got it?"

"Okay!" The girl jumped up happily, and then gave Pichu a high-five.

Naoki turned around and came to the battlefield, called out a goat, and said to it: "Let's play with this little Pichu!"

The mount goat looked at the little Pichu, then nodded: "Hey~"

The traveling girl is here to challenge!

The girl sent out Pichu!

The mount goat used the grass field, and Pichu was overwhelmed by the grass. Pichu was confused.

The confused Pichu used electric shock, but missed the mount goat.

The mount goat used a vine whip, which entangled Pichu and sent him flying out.

Seeing that Pichu was about to fall to the ground, the mount goat caught Pichu with a vine whip, and the cycle continued.

Naoki did not direct this battle.

He stood aside and watched the battle, and Adek also watched this scene with interest.

Through the conversation just now, he roughly guessed what Naoki was thinking, so he said:

"You are helping these novice trainers develop their strength."

Naoki smiled awkwardly but politely, and said that was not the case. He just wanted the challenger to help his Pokémon hone its practical skills and increase its strength.

Unexpectedly, most of these challengers were new trainers...

If placed in the game, the level of those Pichu and green caterpillars would probably not exceed lv8.

lv8 Pichu vs lv60 mount goat.

It's like challenging the big devil just after leaving the novice village.

At this time, the battle has come to an end.

The vine whip of the mounted goat was like a huge trampoline, and soon Pichu was knocked unconscious.

The battle ended with Pichu losing the ability to fight.

"Pichu!" The girl hurriedly ran forward and checked Pichu's injuries. She found that it was not injured at all, but had fainted.

Naoki stepped forward. He felt that something was strange recently because several trainers used the same words to challenge the Green Grass Trial.

In order to find out the truth, he directly asked the girl in front of him.

“Private Marseille!”

The girl bowed sheepishly first, and then explained:

"That...that's because everyone in the first grade thinks that fighting against champion-level Pokémon is a very powerful thing! Because everyone has never seen a champion-level trainer, so they all want to see the champion. Pokémon... plus those who have challenged the Green Grass Trial, will be worshiped by everyone..."

Naoki immediately understood what was going on.

He said helplessly: "I welcome you to visit Mount Goat and Baboo, but it's wrong to regard fighting the champion Pokémon as a way to show off."

The girl blushed, not because she was shy, but because she felt a little ashamed.

Adek on the side also nodded in agreement when he heard this: "Yes, if you want to battle with the champion's Pokémon, then work hard with your Pokémon down-to-earth. One day, you will also become the new champion. !”

The girl looked up blankly at the man in front of her. After a moment, she nodded heavily: "Yes!"

Zhi Shu gave the girl several bottles of moo milk with the pattern of Zhi Shu’s ranch on it: “This is the specialty fresh milk from the ranch.”

"Eh?" The girl was a little flattered.

Naoki smiled and said: "I hope that when you return to school, you can help me tell everyone that you should not come here to challenge the trial before you collect six badges."

"Because if the strength gap between Pokémon is too large, it may cause irreversible injuries to the Pokémon during the battle. In more serious cases, some Pokémon will lose their lives and become even worse. Can’t fight either.”

The girl listened blankly.

Naoki asked softly: "Do you like Pokémon very much?"

The girl finally came back to her senses, looked at Pichu in her arms, and nodded seriously: "That's right! I like Pokémon and want to live with Pichu forever!"

Naoki said with a smile: "So, let's move forward down-to-earth! Take it with you to travel to every corner of the world! When you have enough strength, I will seriously fight with you. , until then, work hard!”

The girl looked serious. She held the bottles of milk and nodded: "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Naoki!"
