Not a trainer this time

After determining the time to set off for the Hezhong area, Naoki began to get busy.

He still had some things to do before officially setting off.

The most important one is undoubtedly the fruit platter prepared for Green Onion Duck these days.

This trip to the Hezhong area will take at least a week to return.

The green onion duck eats three meals a day, three portions per meal, and nine portions of the tree fruit platter are needed in one day, which is 63 portions in seven days.

With so many fruit platters, the tree fruits at home were not enough, so Zhishu simply went to the tree orchard and picked a few baskets of tree fruits from above, and then prepared the tree fruit platter for the green onion duck to eat.

In the living room, while Naoki stuffed the prepared fruit platter into the refrigerator, he told the two brothers and sisters who were guarding the side:

"I will be away from the ranch for a few days. These tree fruit platters will be the green onion duck's food for the next few days. Remember to give it three portions at a time, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening."

"Don't give too much. If the green onion duck eats all the fruit platters at once, it will probably be choked to death and become the first green onion duck in the world to be choked to death."

"Love~"

"Love ugh."

The brother and sister responded one after another, indicating that they remembered it.

"Very good. From now on, I will ask you to take care of everyone in the ranch!" Naoki nodded and said, "If you have any unresolved issues, you can discuss it with King Lei Guan. If Mew and Baby Bear come back with gifts and Pokémon, Let them live in the pasture first, and we will talk about everything after I come back."

"Love!"

After explaining the matter, Naoki went to the wooden pile dummy area and found the green onion duck who was practicing his moves there.

The Green Onion Duck holds a green onion with a serious face. It keeps waving the green onion, making the green onion's technique simple and unpretentious, and just chops on the wooden stake dummy with sword after sword.

Naoki crossed his arms and looked aside for a while, until Green Onion Duck broke away from his concentration state and discovered him.

Naoki: "How do you feel? Is the practice going well? Have you learned any powerful moves?"

"Gah!" Green Onion Duck nodded, then shook his head.

Nodding means that the practice is going well, while shaking the head means that the powerful moves have not yet been understood.

Every time he thinks about this, Scallion Duck feels like he is extremely unlucky.

You might have just learned one or two powerful moves at noon, but they would all be forgotten by the evening.

The only thing that can comfort it is that in this process of continuous forgetting and understanding, the sword skills it originally mastered have become more proficient.

And with every practice, Green Onion Duck's understanding of these moves is constantly improving.

Like one-word chop, Juhe chop, continuous chop, Yan Hui.

Just like now.

In order to show Naoki the skills he had learned, Green Onion Duck turned around and held his breath while facing the wooden dummies in front of him.

It holds a scallion in its hand, holding a knife in its hand, and has sharp eyes.

The next second, I saw shadow clones flying out of the Green Onion Duck quickly. White light flashed. Dozens of shadow clones drew their swords at the same time and performed Iai.

These milky white lights enveloped the blade and turned into sword energy that hit the wooden stake dummy.

There was only a click sound, and the tattered wooden dummies finally couldn't bear the training of Green Onion Duck and were completely broken.

Green Onion Duck sheathed her sword, and all the shadow clones around her disappeared.

Naoki's eyes lit up.

This set of moves is cool!

Shadow clone + Iai split?

However, Naoki felt a little familiar with what Green Onion Duck had just done.

Accept the sword and live together.

The next move should be... ascending the dragon?

But the Green Onion Duck made no next move.

Naoki couldn't help but said, "It seems like something is missing."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Green Onion Duck's face was full of doubts.

Naoki: "You can definitely take the next move after Iai."

Green Onion Duck is even more confused, what move?

It looked at Naoki and asked, "Huh?"

"After drawing the sword, you can rush in front of the opponent before they can react, jump up high on them, and then chop down." Naoki explained concisely.

Hearing this, Green Onion Duck couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

It looked at the green onions in its hands, savoring the possibilities of this action.

The wings rubbed the roots of the green onions. After a long time, the green onion duck began to move.

It holds a green onion in its hand and holds its breath intently.

Na——

Green Onion Duck's eyes locked on a wooden stake dummy, and his eyes became sharp.

Iai split——

A layer of rich white light shrouded the green onion, and the sword blade made of the green onion slashed horizontally.

A gap instantly appeared on the wooden stake dummy, but the attack was not over.

I saw the green onion duck making a turn, and the green onion suddenly retracted. It rushed forward, jumped high and stepped on the dummy, and used its strength to jump over the head of the wooden stake dummy.

Then, chop——

"Beautiful!" Adek behind him looked at this scene and applauded in admiration: "I didn't expect you to have such unique insights into swordsmanship!"

Naoki: "..."

Can he say that he learned it from a certain two-word weapon?

It's a pity that Green Onion Duck can't defend. If you use defend when holding the sword, you might be able to see through the upcoming attack and defend it perfectly like Tachi's Mikiri.

The Green Onion Duck put away the green onions, recalling the feeling just now in his mind, and then looked at Naoki with excitement.

"Gah!"

This place is indeed the right one!

Naoki: "...Come on!"

Green Onion Duck nodded solemnly.

Looking at the damaged wooden stake dummies, Naoki secretly made a note in his mind, preparing to call Kerri back and ask her to come over and repair the dummies.

Oh, I almost forgot, I haven’t talked to Green Onion Duck yet!

Thinking of this, Zhi Shu said: "I have some things to do in the next few days and need to leave for a few days, but don't worry, I have prepared a fruit platter for you in advance, and the lovebirds will give you food on my behalf. ."

"Gah?" Green Onion Duck was stunned.

Naoki: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. You have to practice hard while I'm away."

"Gah!" Green Onion Duck responded.

After explaining everything, Naoki turned back to the room and packed the luggage he was going to take this time.

After learning that Zhi Shu was going on a long trip, Ergui and the friends he had made in the pasture all ran over.

"Boni Bonnie!" Erguifen's two star eyes were looking forward to it.

Naoki looked at Ergui, Frost Milk Fairy and Ice Eevee who ran into the room, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Eguifen pointed at Naoshu's luggage bag: "Boni!"

Naoki was stunned for a moment, but now he understood: "You want to go with me too?"

Eguifen nodded repeatedly: "Boni!" That's right!

"That's it..." Naoki thought for a moment, then nodded happily and agreed: "Of course, let's go together!"

Hearing this, Frost Milk Fairy and Ice Eevee on the side also showed admiration.

"Mama..."

"Buyi..."

Naoki looked at the two Pokémon again.

He suddenly discovered that these two poor little guys seemed to have never been away from home since they came to the ranch.

Zhi Shu's heart softened, and then he touched the heads of Bing Yibu and Frost Milk Fairy: "Would you like to go too?"

"Mama!"

"Buyi!"

Frost Milk Fairy was extremely happy, and Bing Yibu's eyes also lit up, his little eyes full of happiness.

Naoki smiled, and then continued to pack his luggage: "It will take several days before I can come back from this trip. If you have anything you want to take with you, you can leave it to me and I will help you pack it."

For example, things like toys. Every Pokémon in the ranch has its own toys, which Naoki bought from the town before and gave them to them.

Hearing this, the three Pokémon thought for a moment, then turned and ran away.

Ice Eevee ran back to his ice cave, wanting to take his favorite ice stone out with him.

But the stone was bigger than it, and Ice Eevee couldn't move it, so he had to ask the Motorized Lizard to help him move it.

The Cream Fairy ran to the refrigerator, asked Gu Lerton to help her open the refrigerator, took out several small cakes, and put them into her little bundle.

And Ergui ran to the room where the four masks were stored.

This is not because Ergui is afraid to go out, but because its power is hidden in the mask. Only by wearing the mask can it show its true strength.

In fact, Naoki didn't know that it was a very powerful Pokémon, Ergui thought to himself.

And when you go out, you might encounter some bad guys.

When the time comes, it will put on a mask and fight for Naoki!

So soon, the three Pokémon found Naoki with their favorite things.

Looking at the ice stone held in the Motorized Lizard's arms, Naoki was speechless.

"Are you sure you want to take it out?" Naoki looked at Bingyibu with a look of hesitation.

"Buyi~" Bingyibu nodded, this is his favorite thing!

Naoki: "But...it's too big. It's inconvenient to carry it around!"

"Bu Yi?" Bing Yibu blinked, turned to look at the Frost Milk Fairy and Egui Pun next to him, and then looked at his own ice stone.

"Bu Yi..." It seems really big...

Naoki persuaded: "We will be back soon. There is no need to take it out. It is safe in the pasture and no Pokémon will come and steal it."

Oh well. Ice Eevee hesitated, but finally made up his mind and chose to leave the ice stone in the pasture.

Naoki breathed a sigh of relief, and the Motorized Lizard also breathed a sigh of relief, because this ice stone was really too cold.

It quickly returned the ice stone to the ice cellar, then ran to the fireplace, lay down in front of the lava worms and started a fire.

Naoki put away Frosty Milk Fairy's small cake. When he saw the four masks held by Egui Chu, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"Are you going to take them out?" Naoki hesitated for a moment, then said: "The people in the Hezhong area won't hate you, so you don't need to wear a mask to go out, and no matter what, I'm here with you. ."

A place like Beishang Township is probably unique.

"Bonnie!"

As soon as Eguifen heard this, he knew that Naoki had misunderstood. He shook his little head repeatedly, then took out a fiery red mask and put it on his face.

The next second, in Naoki's stunned eyes, Ergui's appearance began to change rapidly.

The scorching breath continued to surge on the mask, and a strong fire-attribute energy spread to Ergui's whole body, causing the originally green coat on his body to gradually turn into a flame-like red.

In this state, Ergui looked furious and very aggressive.

Naoki's eyes widened in shock.

Erguifen's appearance has changed...

No! It seems that not only the appearance, but its properties have also changed!

Fire attribute? Or the dual attributes of fire and grass?

In Naoki's shock, Ergui happily took off the stove mask, and then put on another blue well mask.

This time, Ergui's coat turned blue like water.

The properties changed again...this time it seemed to be water properties.

And what about that stone-like mask?

When Ergui put it on, Naoki immediately had the answer in his heart.

Rock properties.

What exactly is going on? Is it because of the Taijing fragments embedded in the mask?

Naoki immediately thought of the fragments of Tai Jing he had picked up from the Crystal Light Lake before.

"Bonnie~"

Ergui looked very happy. It took off its mask and handed all four to Naoki, asking him to put them in his bag.

Naoki finally came to his senses and reached out to take it.

All this time, he thought these masks were just masks, but he didn't expect that the masks actually contained such power.

A mask that can strengthen the abilities of Ergui and change its attributes...

Now it seems that the Pokémon Ergui is really extraordinary!

Naoki took a deep breath, stuffed the mask into his backpack, and then went to the poke ball rack in the living room to find the fairy balls of Frost Milk Fairy, Ice Eevee and Ergui Peng, and prepared to take them with him tomorrow.

This time when he goes out, in addition to these three Pokémon, he is also planning to bring Guluton, Motorized Lizard, Flip-Flop, Baboo, and Kuailon.

From what Adek said, Watanabe might also attend that dinner.

If there is a chance, Naoki would like to use Kuailong to have a battle with him to see how far his Kuailong's current strength has grown and how far it is from the championship level.

After all, there are no opponents or battles in the ranch, and Zhi Shu still hasn't figured out Kuailong's true strength.

Early the next morning, Naoki followed Adek to say goodbye to everyone in the ranch and embarked on the road to the Hezhong area.

The two took the Angry Parrot flying taxi to Niangguang City.

On the way, Adek said to Naoki: "The banquet will be held in Sail City. I checked before and found that there are luxury cruise ships in the Padia area that go directly to Sail City, so we can just take the cruise ship directly. "

"good."

Cruise ship... Naoki has no objection at all.

If he is not in a hurry, he would actually prefer taking a ship than flying.

Because in this case, Luton would not have to be stuffed into the luggage compartment for check-in.

Adek smiled and said: "But there are still a few days until the banquet is held. I will take you to see a Pokémon breeder in these few days. She will teach you how to make energy cubes."

Naoki nodded. Speaking of the Hezhong area, he had to mention the Three Dragons of Hezhong.

The handsome and cold Zekrom, the elegant and agile Leshiram, and the indifferent child-eating dragon Kyurem.

Naoki's heart moved slightly, and his own experience of playing black and white came to mind.

Apart from furry Pokémon like Baboo, Naoki's favorite is the powerful and handsome dragon-type Pokémon.

The Three Dragons of the Way are the best dragon-type Pokémon.

Thinking of this, Naoki began to inquire about the news: "By the way, Mr. Adek, are there any powerful legendary Pokémon in the Hezhong area?"
