Not a trainer this time

At 9:25 in the morning, the weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly. There was a blue sky overhead, dotted with a few cotton-like clouds, which were fluttering gently with the breeze.

A pickup truck loaded with fruits and Pokémon was driving on a deserted country road.

A car CD was playing in the car, and it was said that the performer of this song was a Jigglypuff who liked to sing.

Frost Milk Fairy and the others followed the beat and howled wildly. For a moment, the carriage was filled with a lively atmosphere.

Naoki drove the car intently and briefly recalled the situation in Sunshine Town in his mind.

Sunshine Town, located in the south of Zhiqin Town, is a typical rural town.

The residents of the town make a living through agriculture. Compared with Zhiqin Town, it seems a bit backward, but it is said that sunflowers are abundant in that town. It is for this reason that the town was named Sunshine Town.

The distance between the two towns was not far. Ten minutes after setting off from the ranch, Naoki saw a golden sunflower field beginning to appear on the field in front of him.

Some Pokémon that looked like sunflowers mixed in, looking up at the sun with the sunflowers around them.

"Sunflower Monster."

The name of that Pokémon came to Naoki's mind.

As we approached the town, some moving vehicles and trainers with Pokémon appeared on the road.

Naoki glanced at these young children and guessed that they were all attracted by the insect trapping party, just like the Cherry Blossom Wine Party held in Ziqin Town.

As the car drove into the town, Naoki withdrew his eyes from looking outside. Following the location given by the girl, he drove the car all the way to the center of the town.

The girl who had gone to the ranch to order tree fruit was standing there chatting with another girl.

Seeing him coming, the girl immediately ran back, waving her hand and saying: "This way! This way!"

Naoki drove the car and turned it off, then opened the door and jumped out.

Babu Groundhog and Hackron also squeezed to the window, stuck their heads out of the window, and curiously looked at the situation outside.

When the girl saw such a large group of Pokémon, she immediately showed a surprised expression on her face.

"So many Pokémon! Wow, are those the legendary Hakron?!" So many rare Pokémon!

Naoki smiled: "Yes, they all belong to me."

"How enviable!"

Zhi Shu turned to the Pokémon in the car and said: "Okay, Guluton, Motorized Lizard, start bringing down the tree fruits ordered by the customers!"

"Eguifen, Babu, you can also jump down and play, but you can't run around! Just play next to the car."

"Bonnie~"

"Bamo!"

"..."

Several Pokémon nodded excitedly and agreed.

They also ran out of the car and looked at this strange town with curiosity on their faces.

Naoki, on the other hand, began to move the fruits in the carriage to the ground with Gullton and Motorized Lizard.

Soon, a carriage of fruit trees was moved down. The girl counted the quantity, simply paid the balance, and then said gratefully:

"Thank you very much! Mr. Rancher, thanks to your help, this insect catching conference can be held smoothly!"

"It's just a trivial matter, nothing important." Naoki chuckled softly.

"Ah! That's right!" The girl suddenly remembered something and invited: "Mr. Rancher, do you want to stay and participate in the town's insect catching conference?"

Naoki was slightly startled: "Is it okay?"

The girl nodded gently: "Of course! Normally, you need to pay a registration fee to participate in the insect catching competition, but since you have helped us so much, you can participate in this competition for free!"

"Hmm..." Naoki couldn't help but hesitate. To be honest, he was far less interested in insect-type Pokémon than furry Pokémon.

But a competition like the Bug Catching Conference sounds quite interesting.

After thinking for a moment, Naoki had the answer in his mind.

He wants to come over and experience the life of an insect-catching boy!

"Then do I need to prepare anything?" Naoki asked.

The girl shook her head: "No need, because the town will provide snacks for participating trainers to attract insect-type Pokémon."

"Oh, by the way, one thing you need to pay attention to is that when participating in the conference, you cannot use your own Pokémon to fight against those insect-type Pokémon!"

Naoki: "Can you only rely on snacks to conquer me?"

The girl nodded slightly: "Yes! But in addition to snacks, it also depends on the trainer's personal charm! Those insect-type Pokémon are very smart, and they will also choose the humans they like to follow."

Naoki: "I understand."

Girl: "The competition will be held at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. It will be held at the Natural Park in the south of the town. You can just go there then. Today we will make all the fruits into Pokémon snacks."

"Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow." Naoki nodded, indicating that he understood.

He called a group of Pokémon into the car, and then drove out of Sunny Town and back to the ranch.

*

In the afternoon, Zhi Shu officially started planning the new area on the other side of the river.

He rode a dragon and flew into the sky, took out a pen and paper and drew a topographic map of the area.

Then, Zhi Shu used a pen to draw several straight roads starting from the stone bridge, and divided the land into several main areas in a few strokes.

Looking at the largest piece of land in the upper left corner, Naoki thought in his mind:

"Well, this grassland is used to raise braided sheep..."

The land is flat with slopes, and there is no shelter around it. The sun can shine into every corner, allowing the grass to grow lushly.

This kind of place is very suitable for setting up a braided sheep ranch.

As for why they don’t raise the Meli Sheep, which can also produce wool, that’s because Pokémon like the Meli Sheep have no hair after evolving into Electric Dragons.

"This land here can be used to raise some other Pokémon that can be produced."

After thinking for a moment, several figures appeared in Naoki's mind.

Tropical dragons that can produce bananas, four-season deer and budding deer that can produce tea...

He wanted to raise a Pokémon like Tropical Dragon from the beginning, but unfortunately he never encountered it.

There is no such Pokémon in the ranch shop in the town, because the income that Tropical Dragon can bring is too little, far less than other production Pokémon.

Thinking of this, Naoki wrote the names of Tropical Dragon and Bud Deer on the other two pieces of land.

The black tea made from the leaves on the budding deer head is very delicious, and he and several Pokémon in the ranch like to drink black tea.

Moreover, the brewed black tea can also be used to increase the weight of the body by giving it to the Lai Sad Tea and the Horror Teapot. It is a triple benefit.

The remaining one or two pieces of Naoki are planned to be placed there first to see if there is a suitable Pokémon. If there is no suitable Pokémon, a children's park will be built there.

Install toys such as seesaws, slides, and sand pits for Pokémon to play in.

As for the other side of the road, Naoki plans to open it up as agricultural land to grow some fruits.

For example, a red apple.

After planning the new area, Zhi Shu patted Kuailong on the back and said to it: "Okay, come down first!"

"Ouch~" Kuailong landed obediently.

Naoki immediately found the three gophers, called him to the other side of the river, pointed to the land and said to him: "I leave this place to you!"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

The three gophers glanced at it, and then began to work hard.

After evolution, the work efficiency of the three-gopher has been greatly improved, and coupled with the long-term cultivation of land, it has become more and more proficient in the skill of farming.

So soon, a complete piece of land that had been plowed appeared in front of Zhishu.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Naoki touched the head of the three gophers: "I will make new snacks for you later." For example, the three gophers' favorite energy cubes.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

Upon hearing this, the three gophers' eyes instantly brightened.

It's looking forward to it!

Back in the living room, Naoki took inventory of his small treasury.

After buying the pickup truck, he still had some money left, which he could just use to buy a batch of apple saplings to plant first.

As for Pokémon such as Tropical Dragon and Sprouting Deer... go back and explore the Cauldron Lake to see if you can encounter wild ones, and then bring them back to the pasture like the mount goats.

"I'll go to town and be back in about half an hour. You guys can play at home."

Naoki waved to a group of Pokémon and then drove out in his pickup truck.

When he arrived at Zhiqin Town, he parked his car on the side of the road and opened the door of Ero's Seed Shop.

After learning Naoki's intention, Eero immediately took him to the backyard and laughed loudly:

"It's such a coincidence that you came here. A new batch of apple saplings just arrived in the store. Take a look. How many do you want?"

Zhi Shu took a glance and found that there were about a hundred saplings here.

He briefly calculated the size of the field created by the three gophers, and then said: "Thirty trees!"

"Okay." Erro asked again, "I'll send it to you later?"

Naoki shook his head and said with a smile: "I won't bother you this time, I'll just do it myself."

Erro was slightly stunned. When he saw the pickup truck parked on the side of the road, he understood what Naoki meant.

Ero was surprised: "Did you buy a car? When did you buy it?"

Zhi Shu: "Just a few days ago, the main reason is that the pasture is getting bigger and bigger, and it is more convenient to have a car. We can't always let Guluton and the others pull the goods."

Erro smiled: "That's right, that's good. Then I'll move it up for you!"

Pulling a cart of saplings back to the pasture, Naoki took Gulledon and Motorized Lizard and spent an afternoon planting these apple saplings into the ground.

When the sun went down, they opened up a brand new apple orchard.

Naoki washed his hands in the river, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with satisfaction:

"Okay, it's done! Now just let these apple trees grow up slowly. By next year, there will be a large red apple orchard here!"

I just don’t know if there will be bugs growing on the apple trees... Pokémon like fruit-gnawing bugs will eat the flesh of the apples and hide inside, disguised as apples.

For fruit farmers, this Pokémon is completely harmful and is not conducive to the growth of apples.

"Forget it, let's talk about it then!"

Naoki didn't mind attracting this kind of Pokémon to the apple orchard, as it was just a Pokémon ecology that enriched the pasture.

He glanced at the dirty Gullton and Motorized Lizard, then waved his hand and said to them: "Let's go home, I'll give you a bath!"

Today's dinner was all prepared by Naoki, his sister's caretaker. He took Gullton and Motorized Lizard to the bathroom and gave them a bath with the shower head.

The two Pokémon stood obediently under the shower head, letting Naoki help them rinse their bodies.

Rinse off the mud stuck in the field, apply a layer of fragrant shower gel, and then use a bath ball to create lather.

The Motorized Lizard accidentally got the foam into his nose and was so irritated that he sneezed several times before he stopped.

Gu Ledun's eyes on the side were full of disgust.

"Ah geez..."

As a result, the next second, along with its breathing, it also inhaled a mouthful of foam into its nasal cavity, and then followed the pace of the Motorized Lizard and sneezed.

"Pfft, hahahaha!"

Naoki laughed heartlessly, and calmly picked up the shower to help the two Pokémon wash away the foam on their bodies: "Do you still dislike the Motorized Lizard now?"

Gu Luton: "..."

A silly smile appeared on the Motorized Lizard's face: "Gahaw~"

Gu Luton glared at the motorcycle lizard in front of him, flicked his big tail, turned around and ignored the person.

This is a tantrum.

Zhi Shu was not in a hurry to coax it. He first rinsed the lizard clean of foam, then used a bath towel to dry its body, went up to it, smelled it, and praised:

"It smells delicious. Okay, let's go to the living room and wait for dinner!"

"Gah!" The motorcycle lizard ran away happily.

Gu Leton couldn't help but glance back. Naoki was sitting on the bench and shouted: "Okay, come here quickly, I will help you wash off the foam on your body."

Therefore, Luton came over honestly.

Naoki picked up the shower head and said as he rushed: "Why do you dislike the Motorized Lizard? The Motorized Lizard is less than two years old. For us humans, it is still a baby at this age."

"Ah geez..." Gu Lerton didn't know what to say.

"Everyone knows nothing at the beginning!" Naoki thought that he should help the Motorized Lizard to soften Gullton's view of it: "The Motorized Lizard is still young now, give it a few more years, and it will definitely become It’s getting smarter and more powerful, and I have a feeling that it will grow into a very powerful Pokémon in the future!”

After all, the effects of a birthday cake take time to work.

However, after hearing this, Luton's heart became more complicated.

Naoki...did you think so highly of it and trust it?

Looking back now, it seems that it has lived up to Naoki's trust and has indeed become a very powerful Pokémon, a Pokémon that is powerful enough to protect Naoki and its past self.

All the past events came to mind, so Luton let Zhi Shu help him dry his body with a look of reluctance.

"Okay, you go downstairs and wait for dinner!" Naoki smiled and touched Gu Ledun's head.

Therefore, Luton responded numbly, walked downstairs, and looked at the silly motorcycle lizard.

Its heart is extremely tangled, because Naoki can now understand its speech, which means that it can tell Naoki what will happen in the future.

But doing that could have dire consequences.

The conversation he had heard before from Naoki and Dr. Olin and Dr. Futu came to Luton's mind.

At that time they were talking about time travel.

Therefore, Lutton clearly remembers that Dr. Olin said: If someone in the future travels back in time and space to prevent his grandmother and grandfather from getting married, then that person in the future will disappear with him and never appear.

At that time, it was still a motorcycle lizard and was puzzled by these words. Naoki even explained these contents to it in detail.

If you play with time, time will play with you.

And now, that happened to it.

If it tells Naoki about the future, then the next thing will change, and Naoki will definitely prevent that thing from happening.

So, if the Motorized Lizard had not fallen into the "time machine", it would not have been born.

So it will disappear as well.

Therefore, Luton doesn't want to disappear, it wants to stay with Naoki forever.

But looking at his past self, a trace of intolerance emerged in Gu Lerton's heart.

If it doesn't say it, then your past self will experience the same terrible and painful things as your present self.

There was a tangled look in Gu Luton's golden eyes, which looked at his past self in silence.

At least...let him stay with Naoki for a while longer! So Luton thought sadly.
