Not a trainer this time

In the year 199 of the Alliance Calendar, it was early May and the weather was fine.

In the hot summer, a gentle breeze with a touch of heat blows through the vibrant farmland.

The harvest season has ushered in the pasture, and the fragrance of tree fruits is bathed in the fragrance of green grass.

In the morning, Naoki put on a straw hat, picked up an electric clipper, and went to help trim the wool of the braided sheep.

Less than half a month has passed since their arrival. The wool of the braided sheep has grown extremely fast, and now it has grown to a thick layer.

Coupled with the hot weather, these braided sheep were all suffocated and looked listless.

Naoki opened the fence gate at the entrance of the braided sheep and helped the braided sheep one by one to cut off their thick and dense down.

At first, Naoki's craftsmanship was still very unfamiliar, so he went to the rancher next door who raised Pokémon such as Braided Sheep for advice.

After practicing hard, I finally mastered the skills of shearing wool.

First, prepare special electric clippers in advance.

Then put the braided sheep into a sitting position, starting from the heels of the forelimbs, then push it along the thighs to the belly, and then push it all the way down to the heels of the hind legs.

After trimming the abdomen, go up the waist and trim from the lower part of the back to the neck of the braided sheep.

In this way, a complete piece of braided sheep wool is trimmed.

Naoki still remembers the old rancher next door telling him that the more complete the sheared wool, the more valuable it is. If it is interrupted, there is no way to sell it at a good price.

Therefore, you have to brace yourself and concentrate during the whole process so as not to cut the wool.

The work of pruning seems simple, but in practice it is very tedious and meticulous.

After pruning the wool of eight braided sheep with such concentration, Naoki felt that his waist was almost broken by fatigue.

I looked at the time and saw that the whole process had lasted nearly two hours.

If a few more come, he may really go to heaven.

But after pruning, Naoki was very happy looking at the refreshing group of braided sheep in front of him.

After the thick wool was sheared, the braided sheep felt much lighter and less stuffy, which made their mental state more active.

"The pruning has been completed, you go and play!" Naoki said with a smile.

Eight braided sheep lined up and walked uniformly on the hillside, like soldiers in formation.

This is the characteristic of the Pokémon Braid Sheep.

They usually move in groups and like to imitate the behavior of their owners or the leader of the group.

The green fields are full of vibrant scenes.

Fertile pastures, blooming wildflowers, braided sheep in wooden fences, butterflies attracted by the fragrance of flowers...

Looking at this scene, Naoki sighed softly: "What a beautiful picture!"

He smiled, then returned to the front holding the wool on the ground.

In some big cities in the Padya region, handmade woolen products like this are very expensive and can often fetch a good price in the market.

It's a pity that Naoki didn't master this skill and couldn't make handmade wool carpets and scarves, so he could only sell the sheared wool.

Although the price is not as high as those handmade products, it is also a very good benefit for the ranch.

After putting the wool into the warehouse, Zhi Shu returned to the living room, ready to rest for a while and drink a glass of water before doing other work.

As soon as he entered the house, several Pokémon rushed towards him.

Naoki touched their heads one by one, then walked to a corner of the living room, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of ice-cold soda and poured it into his mouth.

When Naoki sat on the sofa, the little Eevee skillfully jumped onto his shoulder and coquettishly kissed him.

Naoki liked this the most, and immediately picked up Eevee by its front paws and started playing with it.

In the corner of the living room, Bingyibu hid behind the wall, only showing half of his face for secret observation.

It didn't feel like there was no Pokémon of the same kind before, but now there was another Eevee suddenly in the pasture, and Ice Eevee immediately felt a different atmosphere.

It turns out that Naoki would treat Ibrahimovic like that!

But why hasn't it been dealt with? It has never received that kind of treatment...

Ice Eevee also wanted to let Naoki play with him like that, but he felt that he was already a mature Eevee, and it would be too embarrassing for him to do that kind of thing again.

Naoki didn't notice the Ice Eevee in the corner.

On weekdays, his Pokémon would go to various places to play, and they could be seen in every corner.

For example, in a dark basement, under the bed on the second floor, behind the TV, on the roof of the house.

Therefore, even if one suddenly disappears, Naoki is used to it, unless they haven't come back during mealtime.

Naoki found the "Encyclopedia of Ibrahimovic" that he had bought in the bookstore before. This is a book that records various Ibrahimovics.

Its author is an Ibrahimovic lover named Ibrahimovic.

Holding Eevee in his arms, Naoki opened the book and looked at the contents with it.

"Take a look, what kind of Ibrahimovic do you want to become in the future?" Naoki asked.

In this regard, Ibrahimovic looked puzzled: "Buyi?"

Naoki thought for a while and explained: "It can be considered as choosing your growth direction in advance! After you choose it, will I help you move towards that goal, or do you want to stay the way you are now and don't want to evolve?"

Hearing this, Ibrahimovic immediately shook his head: "Booy!" It still wants to evolve into a more powerful Ibrahimovic.

Naoki couldn't help laughing and said: "Then let's take a look! So far, you can choose a total of eight evolutionary directions."

Ibrahimovic lowered his head and read a book.

Naoki pointed to the eight evolved forms of Eevee above and introduced them one by one:

"Fire Eevee, a fire-type Pokémon, can shoot hot flames from its mouth to burn its opponents."

"Eevee?" Ibrahimovic showed an interested look, and seemed a little curious about this Fire Eevee.

Naoki continued: "Water Eevee, a water-type Pokémon, can blend into the water and make it invisible to others. But after it evolves, it will have no hair on its body and will become smooth, like Like a fish in the water.”

Ibrahimovic shuddered and immediately shook his head. He didn't want to be like this!

"This is Leib. It can spit out powerful electric current from its mouth. The hair on its body will stand up when it is stimulated. The book says that due to the stimulation of electric current, Leib will become a little nervous and difficult to get along with. "

Ibrahimovic didn't seem very interested in Reib.

"Then take a look at this Leaf. It's a grass-type Pokémon. After evolving, it can use photosynthesis to replenish nutrients, so it doesn't have to look for food anymore."

Ibrahimovic's eyes lit up, but when he thought about the delicious food, he still shook his head. He didn't want to be like this.

Naoki smiled slightly and continued to look at the next one: "This is just Ice Eevee, an ice-type Pokémon. Its body is cold and it can condense ice and snow to freeze the enemy."

"Speaking of which, we also have a Ice Eevee at home. You must have seen it before, right?" Naoki asked.

Ibrahimovic immediately thought of the cold and difficult-to-get-together Ibrahimovic: "Buyi..."

Naoki saw what Eevee was thinking: "Actually, it is a kind-hearted Eevee, but it doesn't show it. It lives in the small igloo at the back."

Having said this, Naoki suddenly raised his head in a blissful mood, and his eyes just happened to meet the eyes of Bing Yibu who was secretly observing in the corner.

Bingyibu looked panicked and immediately retracted his head.

However, Naoki didn't intend to let it go.

He stood up directly and hugged Ice Eevee over, letting him sit on his lap with Ibrahimovic.

The two Eevee made eye contact.

Little Eevee blinked, and then greeted it friendly: "Buy!"

There was no expression change on Bing Eevee's face, and he looked cold. He turned away, not looking at Ibrahimovic.

"Buyi..." Ibrahimovic's tone was very disappointed.

Hearing Ibrahimovic's sad cry, Bingyibu's heart moved and he couldn't help but think:

Will it hurt this little Eevee's heart like this? It looks so young... It must be sad to be treated so coldly, right?

Thinking of this, Bingyibu turned around hesitantly and responded softly: "Buyi."

Little Eevee's eyes immediately shone with joy, and he took the initiative to rub Bing Eevee.

Being treated like this suddenly, Bingyibu couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Such an enthusiastic little Eevee looks a bit like the Cream Fairy...if you look at it this way, it doesn't seem so annoying.

The interaction between the two Pokémon was watched by Naoki.

He introduced the origin of the little Eevee to Ice Eevee: "This Eevee survived the forest fire last year. It lost its home and could only live in the town."

Ice Eevee knew about the fire. It was also involved in it at that time and saw many dead Pokémon.

Thinking of this, Bingyibu's face was moved, and when he looked at Ibrahimovic, his expression was full of sympathy, feeling that this little guy was quite pitiful.

The little Eevee didn't seem to feel it. It tilted its head and looked at the Ice Eevee in front of it. It realized that this Ice Eevee didn't hate it so much, and it immediately screamed happily.

"Buyi!"

Naoki touched the two Eevee's heads and said with a smile: "Okay, let's continue watching!"

"The next person I want to introduce to you is Sun Eevee."

"Unlike the Eevee just now, Sun Eevee can use superpowers to fight. The red beads on its forehead can absorb sunlight and convert it into spiritual power. However, Sun Eevee is not good at fighting at night."

Ibrahimovic and Ice Ibrahimovic looked down at the photo of their own race in the book.

They have never heard of Sun Eevee before!

"The black one below is the opposite of Sun Eevee. Its name is Moon Eevee. It is an Eevee that evolves at night and can use the power of moonlight."

"Boo..." Ibrahimovic murmured. He didn't like the black hair and didn't want to look like this.

Ice Eevee doesn't feel too big, because it has evolved.

At this time, Ibrahimovic suddenly noticed the special Ibrahimovic below.

It patted the photo with its meat pad and asked, "Buy, clothy?"

Naoki looked at it and said with a smile: "This is Fairy Eevee. He is very cute, right? There was once a human who wrote a beautiful fairy tale based on Fairy Eevee."

Hearing this, Ibrahimovic and Bing Ibrahimovic immediately became curious about this fairy tale.

"Eevee?" the two Eevee asked in unison.

Naoki raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to hear it?"

"Boo!" They nodded in unison.

"Okay, then let me tell you something." Naoki cleared his throat, leaned on the sofa, and began to tell the two Eevee about the fairy tales he had heard from the Galar region.

"It is said that a long time ago, there was a small town called Apple Town, where people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived happily."

"Until one day, a very scary dragon Pokémon came to the town. It snatched the mayor's daughter and destroyed the apple trees in the town, making people extremely scared."

"At this time, a beautiful and kind fairy Eevee came to the town. After hearing about the troubles of the townspeople, she bravely embarked on a journey to defeat the evil dragon."

"After some hard work, the beautiful fairy Eevee successfully rescued the mayor's daughter and helped people fight off the terrifying dragon-type Pokémon."

"After that, Fairy Eevee and people lived happily together."

After listening to this fairy tale, Ibrahimovic and Bing Eevee couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Buyi!"

However, these words were also heard by several dragon-type Pokémon nearby.

Kuailong argued loudly: "Ouch!" Dragon-type Pokémon are not bad guys!

It is also a dragon-type Pokémon, and it has never done anything like that!

"Gah..." The Motorized Lizard was hesitant, but it also felt that Kuailong's words were correct.

Therefore, Luton also came to join in the fun: "Ah gah!"

The three dragon-type Pokémon stand on a united front, and Naoki is bound to give an explanation.

Naoki: "..."

"This is just a fairy tale. If you want to hear it, I can also tell the story of the brave dragon Pokémon defeating the bad guys and saving the world," he said.

"Ah squeak!" So Luton immediately said that they would listen to it at night!

Naoki had no choice but to agree: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you tonight."

Only then were the hacked dragon-type Pokémon satisfied.

Naoki looked at the bright-eyed Ibrahimovic and asked, "Have you thought about it? What kind of Ibrahimovic do you want to become in the future?"

Without hesitation, Ibrahimovic stretched out his meat pad and took a picture of this fairy Ibrahimovic: "Buy, buey!"

Naoki: "..." It seems that little Eevee still has a heart to slay dragons!

"Decided?" Naoki asked.

Ibrahimovic nodded repeatedly: "Buyi!"

"Okay, then I will help you cultivate it in the direction of Fairy Eevee."

Naoki said while recalling how Fairy Eevee evolved in the game.

It seems that you have to reach a certain level of friendship with the trainer and then learn a fairy-type move before you can evolve?

In this case, it will take some effort.

But for Naoki, it doesn't matter.

Time, they have plenty of it.

It was almost time to rest, so Naoki let the two Eevee go play by themselves for a while, while he took Gulton and Motorized Lizard out to the tree orchard.

Within ten days, all the new batch of fruit had grown.

Looking at the round and plump fruits on the fruit trees, Naoki was ready to use them all to make energy cubes.

There were a lot of fruits, but thanks to the help of the Pokémon, the picking work went very smoothly.

The picked fruits were put into the baskets, and six baskets were filled with the fruits of the entire orchard.

What surprised Naoki even more was that the fruit produced this time actually contained two dyed fruits!

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

The last time Babu Woodchuck ate this thing, he turned into a shining Babu Woodchuck.

And now this means that in addition to Baboo, there can be two more Shiny Pokémon in the ranch!

Who should I give it to?

So Luton?

He remembered that Glitterton was black and looked very cold and handsome.

Or is it Ibrahimovic?

Because if you give it to Eevee, the Fairy Eevee it evolves into will become the Sparkling Fairy Eevee, and its color will change from pink to blue, making it look even cuter.

It’s decided, give one of them to Ibrahimovic!

Then the remaining one...

Just as Naoki was thinking about who should use it, he suddenly saw the few Hackrons that were following him and playing in the orchard.

Naoki's eyes turned to one of the distinctive pink Hackrons.

As we all know, the color of the Flash Hakosaurus will turn into a scary green after evolving into the Velociraptor.

These Hackrons will definitely evolve by then.

The green dragon is too scary.

After pondering for a moment, Naoki waved to the Hackrons.

"Woo?"

The Hackrons flew over curiously.

Naoki handed the remaining dyed fruit to the pink Hackron:

"This fruit can help you become like everyone else. Do you want to eat it?"

The heterochromatic Hackron blinked, then opened its mouth and ate the dyed fruit in one bite.

The next second, a burst of light erupted from its body.

In the light, the color of Hackron changed rapidly, from the original pink to exactly the same as everyone else.

The few Hackrons nearby were extremely surprised when they saw this scene, whining and whining non-stop, circling around this companion.

Hackron, who had become like everyone else, had a look of disbelief on his face.

But the expression on its face looked very happy and excited, and it didn't feel sad at all because it had turned into an ordinary Hackron.

"As expected!" Looking at this scene, Naoki knew that he had done nothing wrong.

He reached out and touched the heads of these Hackrons and said, "Okay, you can continue to play, I have to work!"

The Hackosaurs surrounded him, and then expressed their excitement that they would also help with the work, just like the fast dragons who helped Naoki!

"Woo!"

Seeing the expectant looks on the Hackrons' faces, Naoki couldn't help but fall into silence.

He looked back at the baskets of fruit next to him.

Hackron has no hands, so there's no way to help him carry the fruit, right?

Although you can hold the fruit with your mouth, it is too inconvenient.

After such hesitation, Guluton and Motor Lizard had already moved the fruits to the last basket.

Watching Gu Ledun walk over and pick up the last basket of fruit, Zhishu could only say to the Hackrons:

"I feel your thoughts, but you are still too young now. Let me help you when you become a dragon!"

"Woo..."

The Hackrons suddenly looked disappointed.

Becoming a big dragon...does it mean evolving into a fast dragon?

Yes! After they evolve into fast dragons, they can help Naoki, just like those fast dragons!

The Hackron quickly cheered up, and their hearts were full of fighting spirit.

Decided!

They have to work hard to become stronger in order to help Naoki work!

Naoki didn't know what the Hackrons were planning yet, but when he saw them cheering up, he smiled and said:

"You guys go ahead and play, I'm going to deliver these berries to the house."

Gu Luton and Motor Lizard had already run to the car. Zhi Shu got into the driver's seat and drove the pickup truck full of fruits all the way to the house.

Then, he and the two Pokémon began to move the fruits into the living room and put them in the kitchen.

Part of it is reserved for making poffin and tree juice, and the remaining straight trees are going to be used for researching energy cubes.

The study of energy cubes is an extremely complex task.

Some rare energy cube formulas are not available to outsiders, so Naoki can only research them by himself.

Currently, he only has a handful of energy cube formulas in his hands.

Used to attract poisonous babies, used to raise little Kirby beasts...

But this is not enough.

Therefore, Zhi Shu plans to use today's day to develop a new variety of energy cubes.

After all, there is a big-eating Kirby in the ranch, but he doesn't worry about the energy cubes he made being wasted if he can't finish them.

First, he had to improve the little Kirby delicacies that Ikue gave him.

Kirbymon is the initial form of Kirbymon. After evolving into Kirbymon, not only the size of Kirbymon, but also the appetite of Little Kirbymon has been greatly increased.

This makes the original energy cubes insufficient.

Recalling the tree fruit recipe for Little Capmon's delicacies in his mind, Naoki selected several types of tree fruit from the frame.

"After evolving, Kirby's appetite has increased, and the previous energy cubes can no longer satisfy it. Well... if you want to improve it, you not only need to add more fruits, but also need to replace some special tree fruits."

"Change the cranberry fruit into a velvet berry. Compared to the cranberry, the velvet berry contains more energy and calories. Only in this way can the needs of Kabimon be met."

"There are also berries used for seasoning..." Naoki thought of the unique taste of Kirbymon, and even the poisonous rice bowl with stinky mud can be eaten.

The fruit of this tree has a sweet taste, which is effective for humans and other Pokémon, but it is a bit useless for Kirby.

Therefore, Naoki replaced the berries with kiwi fruits with higher calories.

In addition, the amount of fruit must be increased...

Thinking about it, Naoki started to operate.

Although the process of making energy cubes by hand is not as convenient as the fruit mixer, the operability and upper limit will be higher.

Peel the fruit, mix it, heat it, stir it...

Until the end, a special energy cube with a black color was freshly baked.

Naoki took a look, but found that it was a failure with no effect.

"Did it fail?" Naoki was not too surprised, but began to think about what went wrong.

After pondering for a moment, he tried again.

Then, the third and fourth time...

On the fifth time, the color of the energy cube produced did not turn black, but instead showed a strange indigo purple color.

Naoki realized that these energy cubes were unusual and immediately checked their information eagerly.

[Kabimon Food: Kirby's special energy cube uses advanced tree fruit compression technology to compress dozens of high-energy tree fruits into one special energy cube. Only one can make Kabi! Bimon is satisfied and full. Note: Ordinary Pokémon are strictly prohibited from eating! ]

"Success!"

Looking at the energy cube in front of him, Zhi Shu felt happy. His research direction was indeed correct!

In this way, the problem of raising Kirby becomes much simpler.

Naoki immediately washed his hands, took out a pen and paper and wrote down the formula of this energy cube.

Naoki has two notebooks.

One is the "Cooking Encyclopedia", which records in detail the ingredients and preparation methods required for special dishes, as well as the specific effects.

The other is the "Encyclopedia of Energy Cubes and Poffins", which records the formulas and production methods of Poffins and Energy Cubes, as well as the special effects of Energy Cubes.

Now, there is another recipe in this notebook.

After recording, Naoki started the next step of research with great interest.

This time he had no research direction, and focused on doing things casually, arranging and combining random tree fruits to make energy cubes.

Time passed by, the sun rose high, and then sank into the distant skyline.

A hard day's research work was over. Although he was not as good as those powerful breeders, Naoki also figured out some basic energy cube formulas on his own.

for example:

[Grass Energy Cube: An energy cube used to attract grass-type Pokémon. If placed in the wild, it will definitely attract grass-type Pokémon. ]

[Bug Snack: An energy cube used to attract bug-type Pokémon. Its taste is very popular with bug-type Pokémon. If placed in the wild, it will definitely attract bug-type Pokémon. ]

…

"It's barely usable." Looking at these energy cubes, Zhi Shu felt a little regretful, because there were no energy cubes with magical effects and incredible effects.

After thinking for a while, he shared these energy cubes with insect- and grass-type Pokémon such as Bada Butterfly, Mount Goat, Oliva, and Three Bees.

The result was well received by everyone.

Naoki was very happy, which at least meant that his day was not in vain.

After dark, Naoki planned to go to bed early after dinner.

But before he could go to bed, he was stopped by several dragon-type Pokémon in the pasture.

Naoki: "..."

That’s all.

"Come with me!" Naoki said.

Crown Prince was watching TV in the living room, so Naoki took a few Pokémon outside and sat down by the riverside with the fireflies flying.

Guluton, Motorized Lizard and Kuailong looked over expectantly.

Naoki promised to tell them the story of the heroic Dragon Pokémon fighting off evil and saving the world at night.

The story of dragon-type Pokémon...

Naoki didn't know where to start.

After all, there really is a fairy tale about Fairy Eevee fighting off Dragon Pokémon in the Galar region.

After thinking for a moment, Naoki suddenly had a good idea in his mind.

Got it! Since Kuailong and the others want to hear it, let him tell the story of Rayquaza stopping the war between Groudon and Kyogre and saving the world!

After all, Rayquaza is also a dragon-type Pokémon.

Thinking of this, Naoki slowly said:

"long long ago……"
