Not a trainer this time

At night, moonlight shines into the room through the curtains.

Above the dim room, there was a "star" floating with a faint light.

Naoki sat on the bed and looked at the little meteor with Babu.

This was the first time he had seen a Pokémon like Little Meteor.

Unlike other Pokémon that live on land, Meteorite doesn't seem to understand human speech.

Although when you touch it and call it, it will turn its body slightly in response, Naoki doesn't know whether it is a response of its own will or an unconscious action.

Because of this, the disposal of this small meteorite has become a problem.

As Rayquaza's gift to the dragons, if the little meteorite was placed in the pasture, I'm afraid it would just be locked in the elf ball.

After all, the ecological habits of this Pokémon prevent it from being exposed to the air for a long time.

There have been incidents in the past where small meteorites crossed the horizon and fell to the ground, only to disappear in the end.

Moreover, the food of Little Meteorite is also very different from that of other Pokémon.

As a Pokémon born from the mutation of nanoparticles, Meteorite lives by absorbing dust floating in the ozone layer.

To sum up, small meteorites are not suitable for life on land.

Thinking of this, Zhi Shu said to Babu Tubo and Gu Ledun: "Let's see if we can send this little meteor back to the sky tomorrow!"

Therefore, Leden had no objection and responded with a hiss.

Baboo also nodded. He heard about this Pokémon from Naoki and knew that it couldn't stay on the ground for a long time, otherwise it would die.

So they want to send this little meteorite to the sky.

Early the next morning, Zhi Shu found Kuailong, handed it the elf ball containing the little meteorite, and asked him to send the little meteorite home with Babu Earthpuppet, and told him:

"The little meteor cannot live in the pasture, so it's up to you to send it to the sky!"

Kuailong and Babu Tudou nodded.

"Ouch!"

"Bamo!"

The two Pokémon flew away, and Naoki started a new day's work.

Milk the mount goat, collect rock salt from the salt djinn, weed the fields, collect honey, feed the Kirby...

Kuailong and Babu did not come back until ten o'clock.

After Naoki confirmed to them that the small meteorite had returned to the ozone layer, he felt relieved.

"That's no problem." Naoki breathed a sigh of relief and said to the two Pokémon, "Thank you for your hard work. Go play for a while, and then you can have lunch."

"Bamo~"

"Ouch~"

Seeing the two Pokémon about to run away, Naoki suddenly remembered that there was one more thing he had not said.

He quickly called Kuailong down and said, "There's one more thing!"

"Ouch?" Kuailong looked puzzled.

Naoki: "Next time if you see Rayquaza again, remember to tell him not to give away Pokémon like Little Meteor."

Kuailong immediately understood Naoki's words, nodded in agreement: "Ouch!"

"Okay, let's just say this first. I'll go to the town to buy some food. You guys go and have fun!"

Zhi Shu touched Kuailong's head and said goodbye to it.

Gu Luton was instructing Motorized Lizard and Hackron to practice their moves. Naoki did not disturb them. Instead, he called for a mount goat, hung two bundles on its back, and rode it to Ziqin Town.

Kuailong took Naoki's words to heart.

So it turned around and called Rayquaza-senpai over with its dragon scales.

After a while, Rayquaza's huge figure appeared again in the pasture.

Several Pokémon surrounded Rayquaza and told him that the meteorite was not a star, but a Pokémon.

Kuailong said: "Aow, ow, ow!" (Zhi Shu said that if the little meteorite stayed on land, it would die. It was so pitiful, so we just sent it back to the sky!)

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Rayquaza's face.

Because it occasionally catches some small meteorites and eats their shells.

That shell also has the same energy as the meteorite, but it will not eat the small meteorite itself.

However, even so, those little meteorites started to run away in panic as soon as they saw it.

But Rayquaza felt that this kind of thing could not be told to Kuailong and the others, otherwise it would destroy his image of a great hero in their hearts.

In the past, it was nothing, but now with this group of Pokémon that worshiped him, Rayquaza had a burden.

"Hooooo."

After hearing Kuailong and the others talking about the little meteorites, Rayquaza nodded and said that he would not catch them again.

Inwardly, I began to think about what would be better to bring these Pokémon over next time.

However, Rayquaza thought for a long time and couldn't come up with a good answer, so he planned to go to outer space to take a look.

Thinking of this, Rayquaza said goodbye to the Pokémon in front of him, turned around and flew away.

Naoki happened to be riding his goat back from the town. He was still some distance away from the pasture. As soon as he looked up, he saw Rayquaza flying out of the pasture.

Looking at that scene, a question mark popped up on Naoki's head.

?

what's the situation? Why is Rayquaza here again?

He quickly asked the goat to speed up. As soon as he returned to the pasture, he saw Kuailong and the others standing there looking up at the sky with happy faces.

Naoki stepped forward and asked, "Did you call Rayquaza here again?"

Kuailong nodded happily, patted his chest and said, "Ouch!"

It has told Rayquaza-senpai everything Naoki told him, and Rayquaza-senpai will never catch little meteorites again!

"..."

Zhi Shu was speechless in his heart, and looked up at the sky with Kuailong in a daze.

Rayquaza! Are you so free?

After a while, Naoki sighed.

"well."

That's all, this is the Pokémon's business, so he as a human should not interfere.

Naoki turned to the kitchen and started preparing lunch.

In the afternoon, Naoki planned to go into the mountains to see if he could collect some mushrooms and hazelnuts, and also visit the wild Pokémon he had rescued before.

But a phone call disrupted his plan.

"Hello?" The phone was connected, but there was no picture on the other side. Naoki guessed that it might be because the phone on the other side was using a landline phone instead of a video phone.

"Is it Naoki?" A rich male voice came from the other end: "I am the owner of the antique shop in the town. New Padian gold coins have arrived. Do you still need them?"

Hearing this, Naoki was slightly startled, and then remembered the treasure chest in the tavern.

He nodded quickly: "Whatever you want, I'll go there now!"

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the store!" the antique shop owner said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Zhi Shu temporarily recruited a working dragon and rushed to Zhiqin Town.

Kuailong landed in front of the antique store, and Naoki took it inside.

As soon as he came in, the owner of the antique shop took out a treasure box and said with a grin: "I was lucky this time. I received twenty-eight ancient gold coins at once. What a bumper harvest!"

The treasure chest was opened, revealing a pile of golden coins inside with the logo of the ancient Kingdom of Padia printed on them.

28 pieces? Naoki was surprised by this number: "Why are there so many?"

The owner of the antique shop chuckled and lowered his voice: "The guy who sold me these gold coins is a professional tomb robber. She stole these ancient gold coins from the same ruins."

Naoki was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Isn't this kind of behavior illegal?"

He didn't know much about the laws of the Pokémon world.

The owner of the antique shop explained: "It's hard to talk about this kind of thing. All in all, it's a gray industry. It's really unethical to steal other people's tombs."

Naoki: "..."

"But don't worry! In addition to the cemetery, there are many ancient ruins in the Padia area. They are all left over from the previous kingdom period. They are like castle ruins, and there are many treasures in them!" The antique shop owner added: " There’s no need to worry about ancient castle ruins like this!”

Indeed, Naoki thought.

In this case, he would be relieved.

"I want all these gold coins." Zhi Shu simply paid the money.

Suo Cailing has collected 3 gold coins. With these 28 coins, the total number of gold coins comes to 31.

It’s a big step closer to the 1,000 mark.

But this progress is still too slow... Naoki couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

He counted the number of gold coins in the treasure box, then packed them up and prepared to take them away with the treasure box.

Before leaving, Naoki asked: "Logically speaking, this kind of gold coin was the currency in circulation during the ancient Kingdom of Padia, so the quantity should not be small, right?"

The owner of the antique shop nodded: "Of course, I heard from explorers and tomb robbers that the most indispensable thing in tombs and ruins is this kind of gold coin."

Naoki suddenly became interested: "What will those people do with the gold coins after they get them? Will they sell them all?"

"Not really!" The owner of the antique shop thought for a while and said, "There are also some people who collect them specifically, or sell them to some antique collectors who are willing to buy them at high prices to make money."

"That's it..."

"Oh, by the way, I think you don't seem to be short of money either." The owner of the antique shop looked Naoki up and down and said, "I will recommend a forum for you. There are many people selling antiques on it. If you are willing to pay a high price, If so, there might be many people willing to sell it to you."

"Forum?" Naoki was stunned.

"You don't know?" The owner of the antique shop looked surprised: "Seeing as you are younger than me, I thought you knew more about this new thing than me!"

Naoki: "..."

The boss smiled and said: "You are out. The forum is a place for netizens to express their opinions. As long as you buy a computer and log in to the forum website, you can join the discussion! The Internet is magical, right? People all over the world can communicate through it. !”

This is too backward, Naoki cursed in his heart.

As expected, the Internet in this world is still in its initial stages.

"I know, I will buy a computer and take a look later." Naoki said.

"Well, good luck to you then."

The boss wrote the forum's URL on a piece of paper and handed it to him.

Naoki glanced down and put the note away.

He took Kuailong out and walked on the streets of Zhiqin Town, looking at the shops on both sides of the road.

As for computers, Naoki really hasn't thought about buying one, at least not yet.

Because the computers in this era all have big-ass monitors, and the host performance is also very backward. There are no games on it. People in this world basically only use it to send emails or do office work.

Naoki didn't have anyone to send emails to, and he wasn't interested in those Spider Solitaire games, so he never bought them.

But now it seems that it is necessary for him to buy one and return it to the ranch.

Thinking of this, Naoki went to the department store and bought a computer that day.

The host monitor and other things are installed by the staff at the door, and finally the Internet cable is pulled in, so that the most basic Internet functions can be realized.

The computer was installed in the study room on the second floor. Zhi Shu pressed the power switch and adjusted the functions. Seeing that there was no problem, he temporarily placed the computer there.

Then he carried the treasure box to the Pokémon Tavern.

The fortune-seeking spirit in the form of a treasure box looks exactly like a treasure box in appearance. It is quietly placed on the drink rack used to place drinks, acting as a decoration in the tavern.

Zhi Shu knocked on the treasure box and then said: "Suocai Ling, I have collected more gold coins here. Do you want to come out and take a look?"

Suo Cailing in the treasure box heard these words clearly.

Its heart skipped a beat, and then it lifted the lid of the treasure chest with its head and observed the situation outside through the gap.

As soon as Zhi Shu turned around, he met Suo Cailing's eyes.

Just when he thought Suo Cailing was going to hide like he did at the beginning, instead of being frightened and hiding, the Suo Cailing showed excited and expectant eyes.

Okay! Naoki smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Suo Cailing shouted, and the sound sounded like the sound of gold coins colliding, which was very strange.

During this time, it has been staying in this tavern, and every night it hears the voices of the Pokémon guests coming from outside.

Gradually, its courage was tempered more and more.

And instead of harming it, the human named Naoki actually helped it collect gold coins and gave it food.

This made Suo Cailing very grateful. Over time, it became less afraid of this human being and would no longer think about running away or hiding when seeing him.

"Okay, let's come over and take a look at these gold coins!" Zhi Shu stepped forward and carried Suo Cailing in the form of a treasure box to the bar.

As soon as Suo Cailing saw the box of shining gold coins, his eyes immediately turned into starry eyes.

He looked like a little money-lover.

"There are a total of twenty-eight gold coins here. Adding the three on you, the number of gold coins now comes to thirty-one."

Naoki did some calculations and then said:

"There are still 969 gold coins left before you can evolve into Saifuhao. Although there are a lot of them, don't worry, I will help you collect them!"

"Dingle bell~!"

Suo Cailing made a clear and sweet cry to express its inner happiness.

Naoki smiled, and then began to put the gold coins into the treasure box where Suo Cailing was.

After everything was installed, Naoki waved goodbye to Suo Cailing: "Then I won't disturb you anymore, see you later!"

"Ding Bell~!" Suo Cailing returned to the shelf, serving as a treasure chest decoration in the tavern.

Naoki went to the study room on the second floor, turned on the computer, and entered the URL given by the antique shop owner.

Soon, a forum called "Secret Garden" was loaded.

Although the name is Secret Garden, the content has nothing to do with flowers.

Naoki glanced at it and found that most of the posts on this forum were about treasure hunting in tombs, exploring ruins, and selling antiquities.

for example:

"The king's crown used by King Henry III of the ancient Kingdom of Padia is now sincerely looking for a buyer!"

Naoki clicked in and took a look, only to find that the thing was not a crown at all, but instead looked like a cooking pot.

Looking through the comments, it turned out that many netizens pointed out the mistake of this poster.

What a crown! Naoki couldn't help but curse in his heart.

He felt that there must be a lot to talk about between this man and Lingyouma, who wears the trophy like a crown on his head and is still unwilling to take it off.

After a brief glance, Naoki registered an account, named it "King Tsubasa", and then imitated those people and posted a post.

"King Wing: Purchase large quantities of ancient Padian gold coins at high prices, you understand!"
