Not a trainer this time

Just do it. After deciding to make the mask, Naoki purchased the materials needed to make the mask from the online shopping app that afternoon.

When the deliveryman Big-billed Gull arrived at the ranch, it was already three days later.

That day was May 2, year 200 of the Alliance Calendar.

The big-billed gull that set out from Little Key Town landed in the pasture.

This speed is very slow even for ordinary express delivery.

Under normal circumstances, with the speed of a Pokémon like Big-billed Owl, it only takes about a day to get there from Key Town to Ziqin Town.

The Postman's Gull that landed in the pasture looked a little embarrassed and dirty.

Naoki was a little surprised,

After some questioning, he learned that the big-billed gull was attacked by a wild Pokémon on the road, and it took a lot of effort to save the goods.

The big-billed gull looked frightened. It would never take the path again.

Naoki: "..."

He took the package from the big-billed gull's hand, then took out the wound medicine and briefly treated the big-billed gull's injuries.

The big-billed gull thanked him profusely, and then set off on his way back.

Naoki took the materials for making masks to the World Tree and found Chaomeng.

He handed the package containing the materials to Mewtwo's hands.

Mewtwo glanced at it.

The next second, its deep voice sounded from Naoki's heart: "What shape do you want it to be shaped into?"

What shape is it made into...

Naoki immediately thought of Limone's Flame Chicken Mask.

It was a mask based on the Flame Chicken. In addition to the mask, it also included cloaks, tights and other clothing.

Then he might as well be based on a Pokémon.

The only question is which Pokémon should it be based on?

Naoki looked at Guluton, who followed him to the World Tree.

"No, it can't be done, so Luton's words are too obvious." Naoki shook his head subconsciously.

Because there are only two Gulltons in the world so far, one is in the Zero Area Research Institute, and the other is here with him.

Even the Pokédex doesn't even have the ecological information of Gulton registered in it.

So, what about the Motorized Lizard?

Biker is a well-known Pokémon in the Padian region, and it is also an important means of transportation for the people of Padea.

Everyone has a Biker Lizard. In this case, it wouldn't be so obvious if he wears a Biker Lizard mask.

Thinking of this, Naoki had the answer in his mind.

"Motor Lizard!"

Chaomeng had seen a motorcycle lizard. When he heard this, he nodded calmly, and then his mind moved slightly, and the materials for making the mask floated under the control of his mind.

Then, a magical scene happened.

Under Chaomeng's control, those materials began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It eventually turned into a motorcycle lizard-shaped mask with black and dark green as the main colors.

"Okay." Chaomeng said.

Zhi Shu took a few glances and felt quite satisfied, so he thanked Chaomeng and then turned around and left with Gu Ledun.

In this way, he won't have to worry about his identity being exposed later!

From now on, when he puts on the mask, he is Biker Mask, and when he takes off the mask, he is an ordinary rancher.

Naoki and Guluton left the reverse world.

As soon as they returned to the ranch, Naoki saw a familiar figure sitting on the grass.

It’s the new leaf cat from not long ago!

Zhi Shu ate a few pieces of translator melon seed cakes in his pocket, walked up and asked, "How was it? Did my method last time work?"

Xinye Miao angrily told Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun what happened after he went back last time.

"Meow!" (It's so abominable! It doesn't work at all if I do this kind of thing. Xiaodong will still care about other Pokémon! And in the days when I ran away from home, he tamed a new Pokémon. Kemen! Don’t care about me at all!)

Naoki: "..."

If that's the case, then that trainer is going a little too far.

He stood on the grass and frowned, asking, "So, you ran away from home again today?"

Xinye Meow said angrily: "Meow!" (I never want to go back!)

Good guy!

Naoki asked in surprise: "Is it possible that you want to abandon your trainer?"

He has only seen trainers who abandoned their Pokémon, but he has never seen a Pokémon who abandoned their trainer!

In this world, it is not uncommon for trainers to abandon Pokémon.

Like Shinji in the anime, he only tames Pokémon with high talent and strong strength. Once he encounters a Pokémon that cannot meet his requirements, he will choose to release it.

Even Pokémon like Firemonkey will be abandoned.

It is very rare for a Pokémon that has been tamed to abandon its trainer.

Xinye Meow was very angry at this moment, and he said loudly: "Meow!" (That's right!)

Naoki was about to say something, but at this moment, a boy about ten years old suddenly appeared at the entrance of the ranch.

Xinye Miao keenly smelled the young man's breath. It turned around and ran away without hesitation, and ran into the grass, and soon disappeared.

Because the new leaf cat was all green and almost blended into the grass, the boy didn't notice it, but turned his attention to Naoki standing there.

"Um, excuse me, have you ever seen a new leaf cat nearby?"

Naoki: "..."

He looked around and saw only Butterfree, Tribeca, and Motorlizard, but not New Leaf Meow.

From the boy's appearance, he seemed to be the trainer of New Leaf Meow.

Naoki noticed the anxious look on the other's face, and after a little thought, he replied:

"New Leaf Meow? I did see one here. It was still here in the morning. I saw it drinking water and eating fruit by the river. Are you its trainer?"

Hearing that New Leaf Meow had appeared in this area, the boy's eyes lit up and he was obviously relieved.

"Yes, I am its trainer, but I don't know what happened recently. New Leaf Meow often sneaks out and comes back for several days..."

Speaking of this, the boy's face was full of trouble.

Just thought that this kid was really big-hearted. His Pokémon was about to abandon him, and he didn't know anything.

Although the New Leaf Meow was most likely talking in anger.

"Don't worry, maybe the New Leaf Cat will come back here later, because there are no other houses nearby. It may come here when it is hungry. Do you want to wait here?" Naoki asked.

"Eh? Is it okay?" The boy was very grateful: "Thank you very much, Mr. Rancher, I am Xiaodong from Xiaoshi Town! I am currently traveling around the Padiya region with Pokémon!"

Naoki smiled slightly.

He gave the Motor Lizard Mask to Gulerton and asked him to put it away for him first, then invited Xiaodong to the living room and poured him a glass of water.

Xiaodong followed the footsteps of the New Leaf Cat all the way here, but because he was too anxious, he forgot to drink water.

He picked up the cup and drank it all, then said gratefully: "Excuse me!"

"You're welcome." Naoki asked: "If it's convenient, can you tell me what happened to the New Leaf Cat?"

At the same time, the New Leaf Cat that had just sneaked away ran to the door quietly, hid under the eaves, and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversation inside the house.

Several Pokémon in the ranch found it and looked over in confusion.

"Ah, of course!" Xiaodong nodded, and then described the situation between himself and New Leaf Meow in detail.

"This year is my first year of traveling. I received a starting Pokémon, New Leaf Meow, from the principal of Padiya College. Later, we went to class together, ate together, and participated in extracurricular activities together. Everything was fine at that time."

"But later, I don't know what happened. New Leaf Meow suddenly got angry with me, and then ran away from home when I wasn't paying attention. So far, New Leaf Meow has run away from home five times."

Naoki: "..."

New Leaf Meow is indeed a famous Pokémon with a strong possessiveness.

He nodded thoughtfully and asked, "When did New Leaf Meow get angry with you for the first time?"

Hearing this, Xiaodong was slightly stunned, and then fell into memories.

"About three months ago! At that time, I had just become a trainer. After leaving Padiya Academy, I couldn't wait to go to the wild and wanted to capture the second Pokémon."

"At that time, on the grassland outside the Table City, I used the Poké Ball to capture a Sweet Bamboo."

"Oh, right! It was after that that New Leaf Meow started to get angry!"

This answer was within Naoki's expectations, and he asked again: "Then what happened?"

Xiaodong thought for a while and continued: "Later... Later I captured Shuttlecock, Cat Monster, Chickadee, Marill and Psyduck."

Naoki asked in disbelief: "All captured within one day?"

Xiaodong shook his head quickly: "No, within a week!"

When he said this, he seemed very excited: "I have been looking forward to this day for a long time, becoming a trainer and going to capture all Pokémon!"

Naoki: "..."

"I think I probably know why New Leaf Meow ran away from home." He said. Xiaodong was stunned: "Eh?"

"Pokémon like New Leaf Meowth have a strong possessiveness towards their trainers. They don't like to share their trainers with other Pokémon."

Naoki looked at the boy in front of him and continued to ask:

"If I guess correctly, after catching those Pokémon, you also made sandwiches for them and petted them, right?"

"Yes." Xiaodong nodded, because this way you can get closer to the captured Pokémon as soon as possible and become friends..."

Speaking of this, Xiaodong paused, as if he suddenly realized something, and asked in disbelief:

"Did New Leaf Meowth run away from home because I caught so many Pokémon?"

Naoki nodded affirmatively.

"Pokémon, like us humans, also have very rich emotions. They will be happy when praised by their trainers, and will also feel sad when their trainers ignore them. "He said.

Hearing this, Xiaodong showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Sometimes, trainers have to learn to restrain themselves, because there is only one trainer, and once too many Pokémon are captured, it is difficult for one person to take care of them alone."

"In this case, there must be Pokémon that are ignored, just like New Leaf Meowth."

"In that case, New Leaf Meowth chose to run away from home because it felt ignored..." Xiaodong murmured.

New Leaf Meowth has run away from home five times, and the time he stays outside is getting longer and longer.

If he continues like this and keeps conquering Pokémon, will New Leaf Mew completely give up on him one day and never come back?

Thinking of this, Xiaodong suddenly felt very scared.

Bits and pieces of his past relationship with Xinye Miao emerged in his mind.

When they met for the first time, he chose the cute Xinye Miao at a glance between the Fire Crocodile and the Water Duck.

They went to Padya College to take classes together, ran and trained together on the playground until they were exhausted, and then went to the cafeteria to enjoy food together. At night, Xinye Miao would sleep with him in the dormitory.

Naoki had already noticed the situation of the Pokémon watching outside the door, and he knew very well that New Leaf Mew should be eavesdropping there now.

He looked at Gu Ledun outside, then looked at the depressed young man in front of him, and asked:

"Is that new leaf cat important to you?"

"Of course it's important!" Xiaodong replied without hesitation.

When Xinye Miao outside heard these words, her heart suddenly trembled.

"Meow ha..."

"If you see the new leaf cat again, what do you want to say to it?" Naoki asked again.

Under Naoki’s guidance, Xiaodong continued:

"I will apologize to it. I have ignored it during this time. From now on, I will definitely pay more attention to Xinye Miao's emotions and never make it sad again!"

Naoki smiled and nodded. He looked out the door and said, "Did you hear that? Xinye Miao."

"Eh?!" Xiaodong's face was full of shock. He looked at Zhishu and quickly turned his head following his gaze.

Then, he saw his new Ye Miao walking in from the outside with an awkward look on his face.

"Xin Ye Miao!" Xiaodong was very excited to see Xin Ye Miao. He stood up and ran to Xin Ye Miao, and then hugged it up: "I'm sorry, I have neglected you during this time! I will never do that again!"

Seeing his trainer apologizing to him, Xinye Meow looked at him blankly, and then responded: "Meow ha!"

*

"All in all, that's what happened."

Naoki briefly told Xiaodong, who had calmed down, everything that happened after Xinye Miao ran to the pasture.

"So that's it..." Xiaodong murmured, and then solemnly expressed his gratitude to Naoki: "Thank you very much for taking care of Xinye Miao, Mr. Naoki!"

"You're welcome." Naoki waved his hand nonchalantly. He looked at Xinye Miao and then said to Xiaodong: "Xinye Miao has something to say to you. Do you need my help to translate it?"

"What?"

Naoki smiled and said, "It said it likes you very much and wants to be with you all the time."

Hearing this, Xiaodong was stunned on the spot.

"So, don't ignore Xinye Miao's ideas in the future."

Naoki turned around and waved his hand behind him: "Goodbye, I wish you a pleasant journey!"

On the country road outside the ranch, Xiaodong and Xinye Miao stared blankly at the retreating figure.

After a long time, they looked back.

"Xinye Miao, let's keep going!" Xiaodong said.

Xinye Meow nodded happily: "Meow!"

The figures of one person and one cat gradually disappeared at the end of the road.

At the same time, Naoki was slightly startled when he looked at the bunch of round things handed over by Gu Ledun in front of him.

"What's this?"

"Ah, geez." (It's something left by Xinye Miao.) Guluton replied.

Hearing this, Naoki immediately thought of the treasure Xinye Miao mentioned before.

He looked intently, and the detailed information about the string of round things emerged from his mind.

[Gratitude seeds: The magical seeds given by Xinye Miao are full of Xinye Miao's gratitude. If planted, they will definitely grow into a special crop. 】
