Not a trainer this time

There was a confused look in the little lion's eyes.

The boy holding it had a surprised expression on his face.

Eh?

Has the little lion's injury healed? !

The young man looked up at the man driving the car, disbelief written all over his face.

Only then did he notice the group of Pokémon the man was pulling in the car.

At this moment, a large group of Ibrahimovics were crowding behind the car window and around the man, looking at him with their heads tilted up.

In the back compartment of this pickup truck, there were also two big Pokémon sitting, one of which he recognized. It was the traffic Pokémon in the Padia region, Motozord.

They seemed to be too big to sit in the cab, so they were placed in the rear compartment.

"You're welcome." The man's voice woke up the stunned boy.

Naoki looked at the little lion with a smile and asked casually: "Is it your Pokémon?

The young man came back to his senses and shook his head quickly: "No, it's not! I just met it in the wild. It was attacked by a hot pepper, and I helped save it."

"That's it." Naoki nodded.

He looked at the little lion. At this time, the little lion had realized that this human had saved him. It stretched out its tongue and licked the boy's cheek with gratitude.

"It seems like it likes you very much!" Naoki said with a smile.

Seeing that the little Shishi was fine, the boy was in a good mood. He stretched out his hand and touched the little Shishi's head.

Looking at this person and Pokémon living in harmony, Naoki raised the corner of his mouth, thinking that there seemed to be many children like Ash in the Pokémon world.

He said nothing, stepped on the accelerator, and prepared to move forward.

The moment the car started, the boy realized that he had not thanked the gentleman yet.

He followed the car with the little lion and shouted: "Hey, please wait a moment!"

However, a man's voice came from the front.

"No need to thank you. Just take good care of yourself and the little lion!"

After that, the car was completely gone.

The boy and the little lion were left alone to stand on the roadside in a daze.

After a while, the young man looked away.

He looked down at the little lion beside him and said happily to it: "Okay, your health is fine, go back quickly!"

However, the little lion was unwilling to leave.

Because he still remembered the way the boy anxiously rescued it from the hands of the ruthless pepper and took it to seek help.

The little lion raised his head and barked at the boy.

"Aww!"

The young man was slightly startled.

However, the little lion jumped up on his own initiative and used his paws to pluck a red and white ball from the boy's waist.

The red and white ball fell to the ground. The little lion looked down at the elf ball and then looked at the boy.

"Aww!"

Seeing this scene, an incredible idea came to the young man's mind.

He pointed at himself and asked in disbelief: "Do you want to leave here with me?"

The little lion nodded affirmatively: "Ah!"

The young man was stunned for a moment, as if he understood what Little Shishi was thinking. His eyes became brighter, and he used the elf ball to take Little Shishi in.

The elf ball shook slightly twice, and then became completely quiet.

This means that the conquest was successful.

"Little Lion, please take good care of me in the future!"

After helping the young trainer, Naoki was in a good mood.

He was humming a tune while driving, leisurely driving on the country road leading to Zhiqin Town.

At this moment, Rotom's cell phone, which was originally in his pocket, suddenly rang.

Naoki drove with one hand and took out his mobile phone from his pocket with the other hand, and then found that it was the video communication opened by the Heroes Expedition Team.

"Huh?" Baby Bear and the others called back?

Press to connect, and the next second, the baby bear and dreamy little faces appear on the screen.

"One thing, one thing!"

"miu~"

As soon as the call was connected, Naoki heard a burst of Pokémon screams from the other end.

Before he could speak, the meanings of the two Pokémon were read aloud by Rotom on the mobile phone through transcoding.

Baby Bear: "Naoki, there are new companions who are going to live in the World Tree!"

Dream: "Yes, there are many new companions joining this time!"

"Huh?" After hearing these words, Naoki suddenly became interested: "What kind of Pokémon is it?"

Not only him, but several Eevee on the side also brought their furry heads over.

Baby Bear: "It's Mewtwo!"

Dream: "There are also Charizard, Gotha Duck, Fatty, Bulbasaur, Pikachu, Meow Meow and the others!"

"Pfft!" Naoki almost spit out a mouthful of water. He asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"

So Baby Bear repeated it again.

"Mewtwo and Pikachu are going to live with us on the World Tree!"

Then, Naoki saw the camera on the other side of the screen move to another direction.

There, a human-like Pokémon with a long tail was looking calmly at the Rotom phone.

……Mew-two!

Behind Mewtwo, stood a large group of ordinary Pokémon.

Pikachu, Meowth, Charizard...

Those Pokémon had special dark patterns on their bodies, and Naoki recognized what they meant at a glance.

That's the mark of a cloned Pokémon!

The relevant plot in the theatrical version of "Mewtwo's Counterattack" immediately came to Naoki's mind.

If he remembered correctly, that Pikachu was a clone of Ash's Pikachu.

And that Meow is the clone of the talking Meow among the Team Rocket trio.

Wait a moment! Aren't Baby Bear and Mew traveling in the Hoenn region? How did they meet Mewtwo there?

At this time, the lens of Rotom's mobile phone returned to Meng and Baby Bear.

Mewtwo said: "Mewtwo will take Pikachu and the others to the ranch soon!"

Naoki came back to his senses and nodded calmly: "...I understand, no problem, I will receive them well."

In response, Mew expressed its happiness, and it made a meaningless cry that only represented happiness: "miu~!"

"What about you?" Naoki asked, "Are you going to come back to the ranch with Chaomeng?"

Mengmeng shook his head: "No! Because we still have things to do. It's the task you entrusted to us, Naoki!"

Naoki's heart moved: "Is it Jirachi?"

Mengmeng nodded his little head: "That's right! We have already heard about Farnes from the Pokémon on the road!"

"Next, I, Baby Bear, and Lightning Bird are going to go there to find Jirachi and then bring him back to the ranch. Has Naoki found a way to help Jirachi?"

Naoki shook his head and said, "Not yet. I have no idea now. I will need to make a plan based on the specific situation."

Hearing this, Meng Meng and Baby Bear nodded.

It's up to Naoki to think of a solution. The first thing they have to do is find Jirachi!

That Pokémon is so pitiful. It sleeps for a thousand years but can only wake up for seven days. Just thinking about it makes people feel lonely.

The heroes expedition team will continue to set off.

After briefly explaining the current situation to Naoki, they hung up the phone.

Meng Meng and Baby Bear looked at Mewtwo, who nodded slightly at them.

After a brief reunion, we parted again.

Taking the group of cloned Pokémon and Pokémon that had been harmed by humans, Mewtwo began to fly towards the other end of the planet.

The three Pokémon of the Heroes Expedition are also continuing their journey.

They stared at Mewtwo's back and watched them go away, looking forward to the next encounter.

*

The old pickup truck stopped in the pasture.

The Pokémon lined up and jumped out of the car. After they all got off, Naoki closed the car door.

To be honest, Naoki was very confused about Chaomeng coming to settle in Yggdrasil.

Although he had mentioned this matter to Baby Bear and Mew before, he didn't expect them to meet Mewtwo so soon.

And in one go, he directly sent an invitation to Chaomeng.

Mewtwo not only came by himself, but also brought a large group of Pokémon to the ranch.

Naoki couldn't help but worry about whether Mewtwo could get along well with those Pokémon and those Pokémon on the World Tree.

But there was no use worrying. Naoki turned around and decided to pay more attention to the situation and try to ease the relationship between the two parties.

For example, let Oliva and the others hold a welcome ceremony for the newly added Pokémon, and use the party to bring the relationship closer between the two parties.

In the evening, Keli left the World Tree with the strange force construction team.

She found Naoki and reported the construction progress to him.

"Okay, this project is finally over. All the facilities you mentioned before have been built."

So fast? Zhi Shu was a little surprised, but then he thought about the construction speed of the strange forces and the old builders, and felt that it was normal.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

Naoki paid the final payment to Keri. Although the construction cost a lot of money, in order to realize the dream of building an expedition guild, Naoki felt that everything was worth it.

After seeing off Keli and her strange construction team, Naoki handed over dinner to his sister, Auntie.

And he himself went to World Tree to check the situation there.

Taking the World Tree elevator to the top floor, Naoki jumped in from the wooden pile passage that exuded a faint green light.

The current area on this level has completely changed its appearance.

Various wooden buildings are located in the grassy open space. The shapes and decorations of those buildings are very unique, and one can understand their functions and uses at a glance.

For example, the signboard of the Pokémon Prop Shop has cartoon images of Moo Milk, various fruits, and various small objects.

Moo milk can help Pokémon recover its physical strength, and different tree fruits also have different effects.

And those small objects can help Pokémon improve their strength or exert other effects.

For example, the Immutable Stone that prevents evolution, the Fire Stone that is full of fire energy, the Miracle Seed that enhances the power of grass-type moves, etc.

These patterned Pokémon can basically be understood at a glance, and then they can come here to buy what they need.

In addition, there are restaurants, sushi restaurants, cafes, dormitories, practice rooms and other facilities.

The restaurant's signboard is painted with images of various food dishes, such as sandwiches, poffins, energy cubes, etc.

The signboard of the dormitory has a pattern of a bed painted on it. Pokémon only needs to look at it to understand, oh! This turned out to be a place to sleep!

Out of curiosity, Naoki walked into the Pokémon dormitory, and was surprised to find that this place was different from the conventional dormitory.

Keli specially created unique nests for different Pokémon based on their living environments.

For example, small Pokémon like Chinchilla like tree holes, big Pokémon like Charizard like stone slabs, Eevee likes plush nests, etc.

Not only Pokémon like this place, but humans are also hard-pressed not to be moved after seeing it.

This kind of nest full of security and natural atmosphere looks very comfortable!

If he were a Pokémon, he would definitely choose any tree hole as his nest!

Because the tree hole was covered with fluffy blankets, it looked safe and comfortable.

After visiting the dormitory, Zhi Shu went outside again.

The buildings surround the open space in a ring, and at the center is a Pokémon park with benches, streetlights, and fountains.

Paths connect those facilities and the park together, forming a whole.

But what attracted Naoki the most was the expedition guild headquarters located in the center.

It is majestic and spacious. As soon as you walk in, you can see a commission column. If necessary in the future, you can hang your own commission on it and seek help from other Pokémon.

It's just that Pokémon can't read...

But with a mobile Rotom, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Naoki began to think about ordering another batch of Rotom phones.

At this time, the Pokémon that originally lived on this floor also discovered the scene here.

Soon, a large group of Pokémon ran over curiously.

Mu Shou Gong, Mili Dragon, Tropical Dragon, Oliva, Menas...

Mililong, who arrived here on the Tropical Dragon, noticed the sushi restaurant at a glance, because the pattern on the sign of that store was almost exactly the same as theirs!

"Huh?" Mi Lilong looked at Zhi Shu, as if asking where that place was.

Naoki replied: "That's the sushi restaurant."

"mum?!"

Hearing this, Mi Lilong was very happy.

They quickly bounced over and jumped up and down on the counter of the store.

Naoki followed them in.

Looking around, there is a kitchen, a counter, and tables and chairs for guests to dine.

The raw materials for making sushi require seaweed, rice, carrots, cucumbers, etc.

The seaweed used to make seaweed can be found in the seawater around Kuailong Island in the lower layer. Rice, carrots and cucumbers can be obtained by planting them.

Next, you only need to hire some more Pokémon employees and teach Pokémon how to grow crops and process ingredients, and the sushi restaurant can officially start business.

But can Pokémon really grow their own rice and then process it into rice?

And in order for the sushi restaurant to continue to develop, Pokémon must know how to save seeds and raise seedlings.

Naoki couldn't help but feel a little sad.

In addition to these, he also has to teach Pokémon how to make sushi and how to clean tableware. It feels so difficult just thinking about it!

Making sushi requires a Pokémon with hands that is careful and smart, and washing dishes requires a water-type Pokémon.

Every place is inseparable from the help of Pokémon. All in all, there is still a shortage of manpower in the World Tree!

With just these few Pokémon, there is no way to support the operation of the entire expedition guild.

Fortunately, there will be a new group of residents here next to World Tree, which can add some manpower.

Charizard, Nine Tails and Flame Horse can help make fires, Blastoise and Gotha Duck can use water guns to clean dishes, Bulbasaur and Mount Lamb can cultivate crops.

Chuanshan King, Tantanshu, and Mud Donkey can dig soil and cultivate fields.

Pikachu and Melia can help generate electricity and provide energy for the guild.

Oliva, on the other hand, can provide everyone with fresh and delicious olive oil.

Oh yes, there is also Fat Keding!

Naoki remembered that there was a fat little one in Mewtwo's team!

He thought of President Fatty in the game "Mystery Labyrinth: Time Explorer".

Maybe he could recreate it and let that fat little guy be the president of the guild.

Naoki: "..."

It feels like a real version of playing house.

Well, Clea really didn't misunderstand him, he just wanted to play house with the Pokémon.

However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is unknown.

All this has to wait until Chaomeng and the group of Pokémon come over.

But with Supertwo’s flying speed, we should be able to reach the ranch before noon tomorrow, right?

Before their arrival, Naoki still had some things to prepare.

Early the next morning, after finishing his work at the ranch, Naoki drove to the town.

He kept walking through the streets, going in and out of various shops, until it was almost noon before he finished purchasing what he wanted.

Among them are various crop seeds, various fruit saplings, pots and pans, blankets, quilts, clocks, large power generation equipment, various processing machines, etc.

Cree has built a mill next to the barn where food is stored, and Pokémon just need to put the harvested wheat in it to get a big pile of flour.

The live dough can then be made into bread through the oven.

"Well, it seems that in addition to ordinary Pokémon, the World Tree also needs some production Pokémon." Naoki said to himself.

Pokémon like Salt Djinn, Kettle, Milkpot, Frostnake, and Three Bees.

Huchu is also called an automatic juicer. You only need to hand the tree fruit to it, and Huchu will help brew magical tree juice that has the effect of restoring physical strength.

The kettle will secrete a sticky liquid. If this liquid is mixed with tree juice, the effect of the brewed tree juice will be better than ordinary tree juice.

While thinking, Rotom's cell phone suddenly rang.

Naoki looked down and saw a message from King Lei Guan, saying that Mewtwo and the others had arrived at the ranch.

What a fast speed, worthy of Mewtwo!

After a brief moment of wonder, Zhi Shu started the car and began to return to the ranch with the car full of goods.

Ten minutes later, the pickup truck parked on the grass in the pasture.

Before Naoki got out of the car, he saw Mewtwo, known as the strongest Pokémon in history, not far away.

Behind Chaomeng, there were a lot of Pokémon standing.

Baboo, Motorized Lizard, Gulton, Mounted Goat, Salt Giant, Frost Milk Fairy and Eevee all gathered around at this moment, looking curiously at these Pokémon who came to the pasture.

And facing this group of Pokémon from the Naoki family.

Those cloned Pokémon and those that had been harmed by humans seemed a little embarrassed.

Mewtwo was much calmer.

Seeing Naoki get out of the car, it also cast its eyes towards him.
