Not a trainer this time

On April 1, 200 in the Alliance Calendar, as the temperature rose, the Padia region officially ushered in the hot summer.

The temperature outside was a bit hot during the day. In the morning, before the temperature rose, Zhi Shu milked the goat and fed the other Pokémon in the pasture.

After everything was completed, Naoki was ready to go to the wine cellar to check the brewing progress of the fruit wine.

But before he entered the house, he received a phone call.

Naoki took out Rotom's cell phone and looked at it, and found that the call was from Qi Shu.

He raised his eyebrows, stopped, and pressed connect.

"Hello?"

"Hello, hello, Naoki, what are you doing now?" Qi Shu's energetic voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I just finished my work in the ranch and am going to take a rest." Naoki replied, letting go of Rotom's phone and preparing to wash his hands at the faucet in front of the house.

Rotom's phone automatically switched to airplane mode and floated next to Naoki's ear.

"What about you? You don't have work today?" Naoki asked. At this time, the gym leader has not taken vacation yet. Normally, they would stay in the gym to meet the trainer's challenge.

If it's Qishu... he should be broadcasting the gym battle live in Niangguang City right now, right?

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled and asked innocently, "Guess!"

At the entrance of the ranch, Qishu made a silent gesture to his old friend Luton and Motorized Lizard not far away.

Guluton, who wanted to scream, immediately closed his mouth.

"Huh?" Naoki was a little surprised: "Are you broadcasting live outside now?"

"wrong!"

Naoki: "..."

After washing his hands, Naoki stood up. Thinking of Qi Shu's temperament, he suddenly felt blessed and asked:

"Are you on your way to the ranch?"

"Hey, you got the answer right!" Qishu chuckled and said, "Look back!"

Naoki turned around and saw Qi Shu standing on the grass not far away and waving vigorously in this direction.

Guluton and Motorized Lizard were standing not far away, looking at this side with Qishu.

Seeing this scene, Naoki smiled helplessly.

This behavior is indeed in line with Qishu's temperament.

He hung up the phone. The weather outside was getting hotter. Zhi Shu thought about it and invited Qi Shu to sit in the living room.

"Then excuse me!" Qishu followed with a smile.

"Are you here to challenge the trial today too?" Naoki asked.

Qishu nodded repeatedly: "Yes! After the last challenge, I have found a way to deal with Babu's hammer!"

In fact, she didn't know what excuse to find to come to the ranch.

"Is that so..." Naoki suddenly became interested, but he always felt a little weird in his heart.

Because as far as he knew, Qishu was not the type to work hard to improve his strength.

When she is in the game, she pays more attention to the effect of the program than winning the gym challenge.

Forget it, it's useless to think so much. Qishu probably suddenly wanted to work hard, right?

If that's the case, then he has to help out.

The two walked into the room. In the pasture not far away, Gu Luton and Motorized Lizard were squatting on the grass, looking at the backs over there.

Seeing Gulton's expression, the Motorized Lizard looked at it, then at the strange tree, and asked with some confusion: "Gaw?" (Do you know that human?)

It always felt as if Guluton was very familiar with that human being.

But it also had a good impression of that human being, because the other person had seen it lose before and had specially encouraged it.

Hearing the words of the Motorized Lizard, Leden nodded: "Ah, geez." (You will recognize it too.)

It said in its heart that the little master would be hatched from the egg of the strange tree.

In the future, the little master will ride on their backs and play with them!

The Motorized Lizard didn't understand, and was very confused by what Guledon said.

"Quaao..."

In the living room, my sister's carefree waiter brought Qishu a cup of black tea to quench his thirst.

"Thank you! Thank you for your hard work!" Qishu thanked his sister, and then took a bite. His eyes immediately brightened: "Well, it's so delicious!"

My sister Ai Tui was very happy to hear the guests praising the deliciousness of the tea she brewed.

It held the tray with a smile on its face: "Love it!"

The little sister turned around and left. After a while, she brought some snacks she made to entertain the guests.

"Ah! Thank you for your hard work!" Qishu quickly thanked his sister Ai Guanshi.

"Oh~" My sister Ai Guanshi said it didn't matter.

Naoki looked at this scene with a smile on his face. When his sister turned around and left, he asked:

"Has your recent live broadcast been going well?"

Qishu nodded repeatedly: "Yeah! I changed my live broadcast style, and the popularity of Niangguang Gym is getting higher and higher!"

Zhi Shu actually follows Qishu's personal homepage on Piqiu TV. He is quite familiar with Qishu's current situation.

Although it has not reached the level of the game, it is already very popular.

Hearing Qishu's words, he nodded and said with a smile: "But having said that, it seems that it's not vacation time yet at Niangguang Gym, right? Is there no problem for you to come here?"

As far as Naoki knows, the Padia Alliance also has performance requirements for gym leaders, and will even send people to inspect the gyms to test their strength.

Qishu nodded and said: "Don't worry! Before coming here, I had already asked for three days' leave from the Padian Alliance, and the chief personally approved it!"

"That's it!" It seems that the Padian Alliance and Yeci are also very humane.

After Qishu finished the snacks and drank the black tea that her sister loved to serve, she planned to challenge Babu Tubo's thunder and lightning trial again.

Naoki found Babu, and the two came to the battlefield in the pasture.

Looking at the strange tree full of fighting spirit opposite, Zhi Shu couldn't help but marvel.

"I didn't expect that!"

Qishu was slightly startled: "What didn't you expect?"

Naoki: "I didn't expect you to be so diligent and hardworking. It's a little different from what I imagined."

Like Gurusha and Aoki, they basically only came once, but Qishu often visited the ranch to challenge the trials.

Is it possible that the nature of the strange trees in the world he traveled through is different from that in the game?

Since Qi Shu wanted to make progress so much, he had to seriously help him. After all, Qi Shu could be considered his friend.

However, when Qishu heard these words, her face turned red. She didn't come here to challenge the trial!

"Although I'm not very good at raising and training electric Pokémon, I think you, who specialize in electric Pokémon, might be able to get some inspiration from Baboo."

"So, in the next battle, we will not use our full strength, but more of a demonstration, so remember to let your Pokémon watch carefully!"

"Eh?" Qishu didn't react for a while. After a while, she finally understood what Zhishu meant and nodded quickly: "Okay!"

In the first battle, Naoki sent out Babu Earth Dog, while Qishu sent out his own electric monster.

The battle began, and Babutu picked up his hammer and rushed towards the electric monster.

A powerful electric current erupted from the hammer. The Electric Shock Monster noticed the powerful electric power and quickly crossed its arms across its body to try to resist it.

Babu Tubo's hammer slammed down, and a yellow electric current burst out from the Electric Shock Monster. All of Babu Tubo's electricity was absorbed into his body.

Electric engine features!

Naoki recognized that characteristic at a glance. When a Pokémon with this characteristic is attacked by an electric-type move, it will not take damage, but will increase its speed.

But Baboo is not an ordinary electric Pokémon. In addition to electric energy, its hammer also carries physical damage.

The electric shock monster's arms sank, and at this moment, Qishu's voice came from behind it.

"Electricize the monster and use Splitting Tile!"

The strong Electric Shock Monster instantly raised his palm and struck at Babu Tubo in front of him.

Babu Tubo ducked sideways. Seeing that the attack failed, Qishu immediately gave the order to pursue the electric monster.

"One hundred thousand volts!"

The dazzling electric light burst out from the electric shock beast, turning into an electric beam and blasting towards Babu Tudou in mid-air.

The Babu woodchuck floated there motionless.

Naoki said calmly: "Charge."

"Bamo!"

The next second, 100,000 volts submerged Babu Tubo, but unexpectedly, the terrifying electrical energy did not cause much harm to Babu Tubo. Instead, it was absorbed by it by charging it. into his own body!

"How could this happen?!" Qishu was quite surprised.

Naoki explained with a smile: "For electric Pokémon, electricity is also their food. When charging, the Pokémon will automatically accumulate electricity in its body."

"But if you can eat your opponent's electric-type moves at this time, you will suffer some damage, but the charging effect will be greatly improved."

"Treating the opponent's attacks as food?" Qishu was slightly stunned. She had never thought that this could be possible!

"Do you want to give it a try?" Naoki asked.

Qishu hummed: "Electric shock monster, get ready!"

The Electric Shock Monster, which had heard the conversation between the two, nodded and began to prepare at the same time.

"Babu Tudou, use discharge." Naoki commanded.

"Bamo!"

With Bamo's sound, a strong electric current surged out from Babu Tubo's small body, and finally enveloped the entire battlefield.

At the moment when the electric discharge was about to drown the Electric Shock Monster, Qishu's voice also sounded at the same time: "Electric Shock Monster, use charge!"

"Roar!"

The electric shock monster let out a loud roar, and its huge body stood motionless, and directly entered the charging state.

Treat the electric current as food... Naoki's words appeared in the mind of the electric shock beast, and it immediately began to devour the electric current.

I eat, I eat, I eat eat eat!

The electricity in the body continued to rise, and almost in the blink of an eye, the Electric Shock Beast felt that the electrical energy accumulated in his body had reached a new level.

In this state, if it uses other electric-type moves, its power will definitely be greatly improved!

Naoki nodded towards Qishu and the Electric Shock Beast: "Come on!"

Qishu was completely immersed in this battle at this moment.

She hummed hard, and then loudly ordered: "Shock the monster with electricity, use lightning strike!"

"Babu Woodchuck, let's come too, use the electric double-click!"

The command was given, and the two Pokémon on the field started to move at the same time.

The strong body of the Electric Shock Monster was completely covered by a current of electricity. It looked like it was wearing a suit of lightning armor and rushed forward.

Babu Tudou injected all the electricity from his body into the small silver hammer, and rushed out against the electric monster without fear.

The two Pokémon were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they collided.

A dazzling electric light burst out instantly, and eventually turned into a yellow round ball of light, enveloping the two Pokémon in it.

Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion occurred on the battlefield.

The strong shock wave shook the Babu Earth Dog and the Electric Monster back, but no one lost their ability to fight.

"What a powerful blow!"

Looking at the scars on the Electric Shock Monster, Qishu couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

Naoki said with a smile: "It seems that you have learned the Electric Shock Monster. Let's consolidate it first. There is no need to continue. This battle ends here!"

"I know!" Qishu nodded.

The older brother likes to serve the two Pokémon with life-goat milk to restore their strength.

Because of the battle and the weather, both Pokémon shed a lot of sweat.

Seeing this, Naoki invited them to rest in the living room.

"How do you feel?" Naoki asked with a smile.

Qishu nodded and praised: "As expected of Naoki!"

"After you go back, you can use this method to train the Electric Belly Frogs at home. I believe that if you master all the Pokémon, the strength of the Niangguang Gym will be even stronger." Naoki said.

"Yes, I understand!" Qishu listened very seriously.

Looking at the many powerful Pokémon around Naoki, Qi Shu was suddenly very curious about his past.

The chief said that he came to the Padya area three years ago, and before that, he had been traveling around in other areas.

Thinking of this, Qishu asked: "By the way, Naoshu, where did you travel before coming to the Padia area?"

Naoki was slightly startled, not expecting Qi Shu to ask this question.

He thought carefully before answering: "A lot of places! I've been to places like Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos."

"Wow!" Qishu exclaimed, "I have never left the Padia area."

Naoki smiled slightly: "When you have time in the future, you can go to other places to see. The customs and the Pokémon that live in each area are different."

Qishu nodded and asked, "Then don't you live with your parents?"

"Parents?" Naoki shook his head: "They have all passed away. I have been living in the Padia region when I was a child. Later, I went to the Fengyuan region with my parents to recuperate. After they passed away, I went to other places. travel."

"Later, when I got tired from traveling, I took my luggage and returned to my hometown, which is Zhiqin Town, and inherited the ranch left by my grandfather."

Hearing these words, Qishu opened his mouth and apologized: "Sorry, I didn't mean to mention these things."

Naoki grinned and signaled to Qi Shu not to be nervous: "It doesn't matter, it's all over."

He looked at Qishu, and Qishu looked at him.

A light flashed in Qishu's eyes, and she nodded seriously: "Well, Naoki is a very strong person!"

Naoki did not continue the topic. He asked instead: "What about you?"

"Me?" Qishu pointed at herself, and when Naoshu nodded, she said: "I grew up in Niangguang City since I was a child. Like other ordinary children, I left home after reaching the age of ten and went to Attended Padya College.”

"Then, I met the Electric Belly Frog and the Dream Demon. We challenged the gym together, collected badges, and finally joined the Padia Alliance and became the gym leader of Niangguang City."

"Life in a big city must be very lively, right?" Naoki asked.

Qishu was stunned and didn't know how to answer: "I have never lived in the countryside."

"That's a pity, isn't it?" Naoki said with a smile, "Although the countryside is not as lively as the big cities, life here is also great."

"In spring, you can see flowers all over the mountains and plains, and many wild flowers and leaves are flying among the flowers."

"On summer nights, you can see many fireflies gathering on the water by the river, just like stars. Some water-type Pokémon will also stick their heads out of the water to look at the fireflies."

"In autumn, the trees all over the mountains and plains will start to turn yellow. If you go to the mountains, you can pick all kinds of wild products, such as mushrooms, hazelnuts, berries, and occasionally you can see wild Pokémon living in the mountains and forests. Dreaming about storing food for winter."

"Winter... the weather is too cold in winter, so I don't go out very often, but occasionally I take my Pokémon with me to build snowmen in the pasture and watch the stars."

"There were no clouds in the night sky at that time, and every star and moon could be clearly seen."

Hearing these words, Qishu's face showed longing.

"Sounds great!"

"Really?" Naoki also began to look forward to this summer.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, it's summer now. There should be fireflies tonight. Do you want to see them?"

Qishu was slightly startled: "Eh? Is it okay?"

Naoki nodded: "Of course, there is a room upstairs. You can stay here for one night and return to Niangguang City tomorrow."

That is a guest room specially used to entertain guests.

Adek, Dr. Omu and others all lived upstairs.

"Hehe!" Qishu smiled sheepishly: "Then I'm sorry to bother you!"

"Love~"

The sister who was standing by was happy to say that she would help the guests clean up their rooms.

*

In the evening, as dusk was approaching, there was a sound of cicadas chirping in the back mountain, which seemed far away.

The fireflies living in the grass gradually became active.

When it gets completely dark, fireflies gather at the lakeside to light up the night.

Naoki spread a picnic cloth on the grass by the river and filled it with various snacks and food.

Fresh milk pudding, honey cake, poffin, energy cubes, tree juice, moo milk...

All the Pokémon in the pasture gathered here, happily chasing and playing around the picnic cloth.

On the other side of the river, the group of ducks sat obediently by the river, holding their heads with their hands and staring blankly at the fireflies flying on the river.

Qishu also released all his Pokémon.

Electric Belly Frog, Big Electric Petrel, Dream Demon, Naughty Thunder Bomb, Roentgen Cat, Electric Shock Monster.

Their Pokémon had eaten together before and were fairly familiar with each other.

Therefore, as soon as they met, Baboo flew forward, released a ray of electricity, and greeted Roentgen Cat and the others using the special communication method of electric Pokémon.

Flapping Wings is still very curious about the Dream Demon. It floats in mid-air and stares at the Dream Demon without blinking.

The dream demon was so frightened by its stare that he turned around and hid aside.

Qishu looked at this dreamy scene, and an unprecedented feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.

She had seen many attractions before.

The million-volt night view of Nianguang City, the Cauldron Waterfall at Cauldron Lake, the olive farm in the southwest of Padea...

As for the Frost-wiped Hands on Frost-Mossed Mountain, Qishu has never been there because she is also afraid of the cold.

But none of those places could give her this feeling.

Along the slowly flowing river, groups of fireflies emitting light fluorescence are flying slowly. Their silhouettes are reflected on the clear water, rippling gently with the water waves.

The quiet night, the chirping of cicadas full of summer flavor, the gentle evening breeze...

All of this cannot be experienced in big cities.

"So beautiful!" Qishu murmured, and then a smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Naoki!"

Naoki put his hands on the grass, looked up at the firefly river in front of him, and said softly:

"I should say thank you too."

"Eh?" Qishu was stunned for a moment.

Naoki smiled and said, "You helped advertise my ranch shop in the live broadcast room before, right?"

Qishu was completely confused: "How did you know?"

She obviously did it very carefully!

"Because all your fans went to my store's message board and said it." Naoki opened Rotom's phone and found the first messages.

[Recommended by Qishu Live Room! The milk here is delicious, sweet and fresh, and the delivery speed of Kuailong is also very fast. Highly recommended! 】

[It’s really good. Thanks to Qishu, I found this treasure shop. The vegetables are very fresh. With it, my grandma will no longer have to go out to buy vegetables. I will come back next time! 】

And so on.

Qishu's face turned red when he saw it, this was too embarrassing.

"Thank you." Naoki said softly.

Qishu is indeed an enthusiastic person! If he remembered correctly, in the anime, Qishu, a live broadcaster, often encouraged his fans and cheered them up.

Qishu touched his head in embarrassment.

At this moment, Naoki suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, did you come here by Angry Parrot flying taxi?" he asked.

Qishu nodded: "That's right! There are flying taxi stations just now in Nianguang City and Zhiqin Town. If you take a ride, you can go directly to here, which is very convenient!"

"How long will the flight take?" Naoki asked.

"It's not much, about six hours." Qishu calculated carefully.

After all, Zhiqin Town and Niangguang City are too far apart. One is at the far west of Padea and the other is at the far east. Six hours is already very fast.

Naoki asked in disbelief: "You want to take a six-hour flying taxi?"

Qishu was puzzled: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Naoki: "..."

Too slow, no, it would be too troublesome to go back and forth, right?

"Let Kuailong take you back tomorrow." Naoki suddenly felt a headache.

At Kuailong's speed, he could reach Niangguang City in half an hour, which was several times faster than Angry Parrot.

This time it was Qishu's turn to be confused.

She was a little embarrassed, "Isn't this a little troublesome?"

"It's okay. It just so happens that Kuailong is going to deliver goods to Niangguang City. You can just take it then." Zhi Shu said.

"Okay." Qishu smiled and said, "Thank you very much!"

Not far away, Guluton and Motorized Lizard were squatting on the grass.

The Motorized Lizard looked at Gulton in confusion and asked: "Gah?" (Why can't we disturb Naoki?)

Gu Luton looked serious and said: "Ah, geez." (Because Naoki has something very important to do.)

"Gaw?"

Very important thing?

The Motorized Lizard immediately cheered up.

Gu Luton looked at the two people by the river and the Pokémon surrounding them, and images from the past could not help but appear in his mind.

Its little owner, Naoki's child, pulled it pitifully and asked when it would come back.

It was still a motorcycle lizard at the time and said that it would be back soon.

However, it failed to go back, and the little master never waited for it again.

Thinking of this, Luton couldn't help but feel depressed.

But then, it perked up again.

Because it is back, when it meets its little master again, it must say to the little master: I am back.

*

Early the next morning, Qishu took the fast dragon back to Niangguang City.

Half an hour after Kuailong left, Zhi Shu received a message from Qi Shu.

[Qishu: Thank you, I was very happy yesterday! 】

Naoki smiled, returned a smiling expression, and then put away his phone.

It’s another new day, and there’s still a lot of work waiting for him to do on the ranch.

While Naoki was planting summer crops in the farmland, Keri led the construction team to the pasture.

She said hello to Naoki, then looked left and right, gossiping: "Where is your little girlfriend?"

Naoki was confused on the spot when he said this: "What kind of little girlfriend?"

But then, Naoki suddenly noticed something.

Could it be that Keli was talking about the strange tree?

Sure enough, the next second, Naoki heard Keri say: "That's the girl who came to the ranch yesterday!"

Naoki: "..."

"Don't talk nonsense, she came to the ranch to challenge the trial." Naoki shook his head.

However, a smile appeared on Keri's face: "Oh? Really? But I found that the way she looked at you was different!"

Naoki: "..."

What look? Qishu looked at him differently?

impossible?

Kelly didn't say much. After saying those few words, she continued the construction with her strange strength.

Naoki was left standing there with a confused look on his face.

But he couldn't figure it out after thinking for a while, so he simply didn't think about it.

In addition, the video phone in the house rang, so Naoki put the matter behind him and went into the house to answer the phone.

Although Rotom phones have become popular in the world, video phones have not been eliminated.

Because some trainers do not have Rotom phones, or have lost their phones in the wild, they can go to the local Pokémon Center and use the video phone there to communicate with family and friends.

The video phone at Zhi Shu Ranch also remains, but this video phone is used by Zhi Shu as a public phone at the ranch.

On weekdays, customers who need to order vegetables, milk, fruits, etc. will call this number.

When the call was connected, a rough voice came from the other end.

"Hey, is this Zhishu Ranch? I'm a dessert shop owner who lives in the next city. This city is holding a dessert competition recently. Fresh apples are needed to make apple pies and apple candies. I plan to get it from you. Order a batch of apples there!”

"Okay, no problem." After hearing the other party's needs clearly, Naoki asked the man to send his location and contact information, and said that he would send the apple there soon.

Soon, Naoki got the guest's information.

Name: Cliff

Contact number: 6937394

Address: Shop No. 3, Lanhaiwan Street, Boping City

After hanging up the phone, Zhi Shu used the map app to check the distance between Boping City and Zhiqin Town.

If you drive, you can get there in about an hour and a half.

After confirming the location, Naoki began to call his Pokémon assistants to go to the apple orchard on the other side of the river to pick apples.

This season, the apples in the apple orchard grow big and round, and almost every one of them is red, which looks very attractive.

The task of picking apples was very simple. Naoki originally only called Gullerton and Motorized Lizard to help.

But after Eguifen and Saifuhao heard about this, they also took the initiative to come over and wanted to help.

So Naoki gave them several cartons and asked them to put the picked apples into the cartons.

Both Erguifen and Saifuhao are very smart, and they learned how to operate just by looking at them.

They picked the apples from the trees and put them into cardboard boxes.

Seeing that they were picking quite well, Naoki withdrew his gaze with relief and continued to work on his own affairs.

At first, the two Pokémon worked very smoothly, but soon, Naoki heard a scream from Ergui, as if he had been frightened in some way.

Naoki and several other Pokémon quickly turned their heads to look.

"What's wrong?" Naoki asked.

Ergui pointed to an apple on the fruit tree.

"Bonnie!"

Naoki looked in the direction of its finger, and then saw a strange-looking "apple".

That thing looks very much like an apple at first glance, but if you look closely, you can see the difference between it and a real apple.

Big eyes replaced the original apple stems, a pair of caterpillar tails emerged from the holes at the back of the apple, and two small fang-like patterns appeared on the lower part of the apple.

Clearly, there was a worm in the apple.

Looking at the strange apple, Naoki's name immediately came to mind.

Fruit-gnawing bugs?

It seemed that it was frightened by the cry of the worm. The fruit-gnawing insect immediately retracted into the apple and hid inside without daring to move.

Looking at the fruit-gnawing insect, Naoki's first reaction was that it's finally here!

He had been anticipating the arrival of fruit-gnawing bugs in his apple orchard for a long, long time.

Because of their ripening characteristics, fruit-gnawing insects can help ripen fruit and apples!

With them, the orchard on the World Tree can grow better.

Thinking of this, Naoki stopped what he was doing and said to Ergui: "Don't worry, it is also a Pokémon. Its name is Fruit Gnawer, and it is a Pokémon that lives in apples."

Hearing this, Sai Fuhao had a surprised expression on his face.

Can Pokémon still live inside an apple?

Er Gui Pun's face was full of horror.

Because it is very worried, what should I do if I accidentally eat the fruit-gnawing worms in the apples in the future?

"Bo Ni..." Eguifen didn't know what he thought of here, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

Naoki noticed the expressions of the two Pokémon and explained:

"Don't worry, the fruit-gnawing worm does not live in the apple from the beginning. It hides in the apple after it is born, and then spends its entire life inside."

"Eguifen, you don't have to be afraid of it. As long as you pay more attention when eating apples in the future, you can tell the difference between fruit-gnawing worms and ordinary apples."

Saying that, Naoki stepped forward and stretched out his hand to cover the apple inhabited by fruit-gnawing bugs.

The power of dragon control, activate!

As a dragon-type fruit-gnawing insect, he immediately felt an aura of affinity.

It was stunned for a moment, then stretched out its eyes from the apple to observe the situation curiously.

Then, the fruit-gnawing insect noticed that the human had arrived in front of him.

The fruit-gnawing insect subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but soon it realized that the aura that made it feel friendly was emanating from this human being.

"Hello, Fruit Gnawer, I am Naoki and I am the owner of this orchard. You don't have to be afraid. No Pokémon here will hurt you." Naoki expressed his kindness towards the Fruit Gnawer.

The fruit-gnawing insect looked at this human being very cautiously. Originally, it was full of vigilance, fearing that the other person would eat it.

Because fruit-gnawing insects that have not yet evolved are very fragile, various events can cause their death.

For example, if they lose the apple they are hiding in, the water in their bodies will slowly drain away, and they will gradually become weak. If they cannot find the apple, they will lose their lives in weakness.

Or if the apple falls from a height, the fruit-gnawing insects may be forced to escape from the apple in the process.

In addition to these two accidents, they also have to worry about their natural enemy bird Pokémon from time to time.

Sometimes, even Pokémon like Buzzbat mistake them for food and bring them back to their lair.

Who made them look too much like apples?

However, soon, the fruit-gnawing insect felt a special power from the human in front of him.

The other person seemed to be taking care of it and conveying his thoughts to it.

[Don't be afraid, no one or Pokémon here will hurt you. 】

The fruit-gnawing insects gradually let down their guard.

He knew that Pokémon without dragon attributes could refuse the power of dragon control.

"Okay, then from now on, you can live here with peace of mind!" Naoki said.

After helping the fruit-gnawing worm evolve into a plump dragon or other forms, the World Tree will be fully grown by then. At that time, he will send the fruit-gnawing worm to live on the world tree.

It's a completely safe place for Pokémon.

But before that, Naoki still had one thing to do.

"Come on, Fruit Gnawer, let me see your characteristics first."

He conveyed his message to the fruit-gnawing worm.

The fruit-gnawing insect seemed to understand. After a while, it finally understood what Naoki meant.

I saw a fruit-gnawing insect jumping next to a slightly green apple.

The next second, a special wave was released from its body.

Affected by this fluctuation, the green apple began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually completely transformed into a big red apple.

Seeing this scene, two big words suddenly appeared in Naoki's mind - [Mature].

The characteristics of this fruit-gnawing insect are perfect for orchard ripening!

Pokémon with this characteristic can take care of fruit trees and help their fruits grow better and faster.

Naoki felt happy, but then he felt the thought of eating fruit insects through the power of dragon control.

[I ripened the apples on this tree! 】

"Huh?" Naoki was very surprised: "Really?"

The fruit-gnawing bug responded in the affirmative.

Seeing this, Naoki turned his head to look at the apple growth of this apple tree, and then observed the apples on other fruit trees for a while.

Through comparison, he found that the apples on this fruit tree had been ripe for some time, and the reason why there was still a green apple was because the fruit-gnawing worms had not had time to ripen it.

"Why do you do these things?" Naoki asked curiously.

The idea of ​​eating fruit worms was quickly conveyed to him through the power of dragon control.

[Because I ate one of your apples, I have to ripen a few apples and give them back to you. 】

Naoki didn't expect this to be the reason.

"Were you here a long time ago?" he asked.

However, the fruit-gnawing bug said that it had not been here long, but it had seen Naoshu watering and taking care of the fruit trees in the apple orchard before, so it knew that this was the territory of this human being.

"I see." Naoki nodded, thinking that this fruit-gnawing insect was quite sensible.

"In that case, you should stay here first! After a while, I will take you to live in another place where there is no danger. You can help take care of the orchard there," Naoki said.

The fruit-gnawing bug agreed.

Naoki put it back on the tree, and then led his Pokémon assistants to continue working, packing the apples into boxes and loading them into the pickup truck.

After everything was completed, Naoki sat in the driving seat, pulled a cart of apples and a cart of Pokémon following the car, and drove on the road to deliver goods to customers.

At the same time, in the Fengyuan region, a vast mountain forest.

Mewtwo, who was leading a group of cloned Pokémon while searching for his place in this world and the meaning of his existence, suddenly felt a familiar aura.

It stopped flying and used its superpowers to slowly land with Meowth, Pikachu, Bulbasaur and other cloned Pokémon.

As soon as he landed, Chaomeng saw two familiar figures in the dense forest.

One is a bear cub with a heart of justice.

The other one was the fantasy Pokémon that it once considered its mother and had a fierce battle with, Mew.
