Not a trainer this time

"One!"

"miu!"

Meng Meng and Baby Bear, who returned home from afar, happily flew to Naoki's side.

Naoki smiled and touched their heads, then looked at the four people in front of him.

Mew and Baby Bear turned around and looked at Xiaozhi and others with Naoki.

At this moment, Xiaozhi and the other two were completely attracted by the scene in the pasture.

Because there are a lot of Pokémon here that they have never seen before!

A few days ago, they were traveling around the Hoenn region to collect gym badges.

Because they heard the news that the Thousand-Year Comet was coming, in order to witness the grand event that could only be seen once in a thousand years, they went to the Pokémon Park to prepare to see the Thousand-Year Comet there.

However, instead of encountering the Millennium Comet, they encountered three Pokémon who called themselves the Hero Expedition Team.

At that time, Butler had just handed over the Sleeping Cocoon to them, and this group of Pokémon rushed there.

After a battle, they learned the truth about everything and Butler's evil plan from the baby bear, and helped them.

When everything was over, Mew told them that they had a way to change Jirachi's pitiful fate of sleeping for thousands of years, so they followed together, crossed the sea, and came to this remote place.

Among the four, only Xiaogang tried hard to stay calm.

He looked at the man in front of him with his narrowed eyes and asked aloud:

"This gentleman should be the trainer of the Heroes Expedition, right?"

Xiaoyao looked at the heroes expedition team aside.

The legendary Lightning Bird and Dream, as well as the mysterious baby bear...

She couldn't help but murmured: "This is really incredible!"

Naoki smiled slightly: "Hello, I am Naoki, the owner of this ranch."

Xiaozhi turned his attention away from the Pokémon around him, and then introduced himself:

"Hello, I am Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town!"

"I'm Xiaogang."

"My name is Xiaoyao, and this is my brother Xiaosheng!"

Naoki nodded, but he didn't speak because there were more important things to do at the moment.

Invited by the Heroes Expedition to come to the ranch, it was not just Xiaozhi and the others, but also an Absol and a Jirachi.

Naoki's eyes turned to Jirachi who was hiding on Absol's back with a face full of ignorance and innocence.

"Come with me!"

He said to the people in front of him.

The group walked through the pasture and entered the living room.

Seeing guests arriving, my sister, Ai Guan, prepared tea and snacks for them.

"excuse me!"

In the living room.

Xiaozhi, Xiaogang and the others watched with curiosity as their sister, Ai Guanwei, brought several cups of tea in front of them.

Xiaozhi couldn't help but take out his Rotom phone and scanned his sister Aiguanshi.

[Avatar, a female, affectionate Pokémon, serves people and Pokémon attentively in order to collect gratitude. The female Avatar is very good at raising children! 】

Rotom's electronic voice came from the mobile phone.

Both Xiaozhi and Xiaogang were very surprised.

"Avatar... what a magical Pokémon!" Xiaozhi couldn't help but say.

Naoki smiled slightly: "That's right, Avatar is a very reliable Pokémon."

Xiaozhi pointed the Rotom phone at Gulton next to him.

However, I got the information [Unable to find relevant information, it is a Pokémon that has not been discovered].

Xiaozhi immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Gulton in disbelief.

"Xiao Zhi, now is not the time to care about such things!"

Xiaoyao complained speechlessly.

Xiaozhi finally came back to his senses and smiled sheepishly: "I'm so excited to see so many Pokémon I've never seen before!"

Seeing Xiaozhi like this, Naoki smiled.

Xiaogang on the side brought the topic to business. He looked at this mysterious man and asked calmly:

"Mr. Naoki, is there any way you can help Jirachi?"

"Yes, that's why I commissioned the Heroes Expedition to find Jirachi." Naoki said.

He looked at Jirachi who was following Meng Meng and looking at the people around him with curiosity.

One person and one Pokémon happened to look at each other.

Jirachi's eyes and temperament were as innocent as a child's.

The dream next to it shouted at it: "miu~" (He is Naoki, he is a very good person~)

"Naoki?"

The next second, Jirachi's childish voice rang out from everyone's ears.

"Yes, I am Naoki."

Naoki looked at this cute Pokémon, and then introduced it to Xiaozhi and others:

"The ecological habits of Pokémon like Jirachi are like this. They sleep for a thousand years, but can only wake up for seven days. Because they only wake up once every thousand years, their personalities and minds grow like children."

"So pitiful..." Xiaoyao couldn't bear to say.

Xiao Sheng looked up at Jirachi floating in the air, and then implored: "Mr. Naoki, please help Jirachi!"

"Don't worry, just leave it to me!"

Naoki turned around, took out the special leaf green dumpling from the kitchen, and then walked to Jirachi.

"This is a dish I made using secret techniques and special ingredients. If you eat it, Jirachi will never have to sleep again."

"Cooking?"

Jirachi tilted his head and looked blankly at the Qingtuan in front of him.

"That's right." Naoki nodded and asked softly: "Does Jirachi want to wake up every morning like Absol and the others, play with friends, wait until the sun sets, and then go to bed together?"

"You don't have to sleep for so long at a time, and you don't have to worry about opening your eyes and finding that all your familiar friends have disappeared. You can wake up when the sun rises like ordinary Pokémon in this world."

These words touched Jirachi's heart.

Its eyes flickered slightly, and its mind recalled the Pokémon friends it made when it woke up last time.

Its tone was full of expectations for that kind of life: "Is it really possible?"

"Of course." Naoki said.

Jirachi looked back at Mew and Baby Bear, and then at Xiaozhi and Xiaosheng.

Although everyone had only been together for a short day, Jirachi had already become friends with them.

Looking at everyone's encouraging eyes, Jirachi nodded vigorously, and then ate the leaf green ball.

The next second, a strong light burst out from Jirachi.

When the light faded, it seemed that something had changed unconsciously.

Jirachi looked down at his body blankly.

"Is this all right?"

"Yes, that's right." Naoki smiled and said, "This way you don't have to sleep like before."

Hearing this, Jirachi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Mew on the side also flew over happily to celebrate for it.

"Miu!"

The two Pokémon flew around the room happily.

Xiaozhi and others looked at this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great."

"But by the way, was the food that Jirachi ate just now made by Mr. Naoki?" Xiaozhi couldn't help asking.

"Yes, that's right." Naoki explained with a smile: "That's my special ability. You can think of it as the same type of ability as superpowers."

"Superpower?" Xiaogang immediately came to life and asked in surprise: "Like those humans with superpowers?"

As far as he knew, Miss Nancy, the gym leader in the Kanto region, had superpowers.

And Xiaozhi also recalled his experience of challenging the Golden Gym.

"It seems that you have also seen humans with superpowers." Naoki said with a smile.

Xiaogang nodded, and just as he was about to say something, a burst of Pokémon screams suddenly came from outside the door.

Everyone's attention was instantly attracted by the sound.

"What happened?" Xiaozhi asked puzzledly: "Is it the Pokémon in Mr. Naoki's ranch fighting?"

Naoki knew the sound very well.

Everyone went out to check, and as expected, just as Naoki expected, the irritable hyperactive monkey was jumping up and down in the ranch.

And the Farfetch'd was carrying green onions and chasing it madly behind.

Naoki looked in the direction of the green onion garden, and as expected, he saw that the green onions there were ruined by the hyperactive monkey again.

"It's the hyperactive monkey!" Xiaoyao recognized the Pokémon at a glance.

Her father Qianli's gym has several hyperactive monkeys.

"That Farfetch'n is chasing it!" Xiaozhi followed the figures of Farfetch'n and Farfetch'n and asked, "Mr. Naoki, what's going on?"

Naoki: "..."

He sighed helplessly and explained, "That Farfetch'n was a lazy otter that I took in. It had been sleeping in the orchard, but in recent days it suddenly evolved into Farfetch'n and started to make trouble everywhere."

"That's right, Farfetch'n is a Pokémon with a lot of energy. They will only calm down if they vent all their excess energy." Xiaoyao nodded.

Vent? How to vent? Through Pokémon battles?

Thinking of the Pokémon battle, Xiaozhi immediately became excited. He rolled up his sleeves and said:

"Mr. Naoki, let me help!"

Naoki: "... That hyperactive monkey is very energetic!"

"There must be a way to calm it down!" Xiaozhi said to Pikachu on his shoulder: "Pikachu, it's time to go!"

"Pikapi!"

Pikachu rushed out first and blocked the hyperactive monkey.

Seeing that there were Pokémon coming to block the way, the hyperactive monkey immediately fell into a state of rage. It beat its chest with its fists, and then rushed towards the Pikachu while howling.

Pikachu then fought with the hyperactive monkey.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoyao couldn't help but hold his forehead and said: "Xiaozhi is too reckless!"

Naoki thought that this was in line with Xiaozhi's style.

Looking at this scene, he suddenly thought of a good idea.

Can he entrust the hyperactive monkey to Xiaozhi to take care of it?

In the past two days, the Pokémon in the ranch have been tormented by Hyper-Zodiac, and Frostmilk and the others don't like Pokémon battles very much, so they can't meet Hyper-Zodiac's challenge anytime and anywhere.

At this time, if there is a trainer who can capture Hyper-Zodiac, they can consume Hyper-Zodiac's energy by constantly fighting Pokémon.

More importantly, Xiaozhi's character is trustworthy.

"I'll ask Hyper-Zodiac what he thinks later!" Naoki made a decision in his heart.

This is the best of both worlds. It can help Hyper-Zodiac find a suitable trainer, and the crops in the ranch can also be saved from being ruined.

At the same time, in the air, on a Meow-shaped hot air balloon,

Meow, Musashi, and Kojiro were observing the ranch below through a telescope.

"The little brat is fighting a hyperactive monkey, meow!"

"Let me see!" Musashi snatched the telescope from Meow. She first looked at Xiaozhi and Pikachu, and then slowly moved the camera.

"Oh my God! There are so many Pokémon in this ranch! There are many Pokémon that I have never seen before!"

Kojiro on the side also became excited: "If I can catch them all and present them to the boss..."

As soon as these words came out, the trio's mind appeared with the scene of Boss Sakaki praising them, promoting them and giving them bonuses.

"What a happy feeling, meow!" Meow immediately made a decision: "It's decided, then we will serve as the vanguard team to explore the Padiya area, meow!"

Suddenly, a curious voice came from the side.

"Ouch?"

The trio turned their heads and saw that several Dragonites with red satchels had come to the hot air balloon at some point, looking at them with their bright black eyes.

One of the Dragonites with scars on its face was staring at them fiercely, with a bad look on its face.

"So many Dragonites, meow!" Meow Meow hadn't said anything yet, but she felt a chill on her back, because those Dragonites were hostile to them for some reason!

Dragonites are very powerful, especially when there are so many of them, which is not something they can handle.

Realizing this, the trio immediately threw away their telescopes and huddled together, trembling.

"Ouch?"

"Ouch."

"Ouch!!"

The Dragonites began to communicate.

Musashi stared and asked, "Meow Meow, what are they talking about?"

A drop of cold sweat had already appeared on Meow Meow's forehead: "They heard what we just said about catching those Pokémon and presenting them to the boss, meow!"

The next second, one of the Dragonites used its dragon claws on the hot air balloon.

With the sound of puffing air coming out of the hot air balloon, the hot air balloon immediately lost its balance and flew away.

Only the screams of the trio were left in the wind.

"What a disgusting feeling!"

After driving away the bad guys, the Dragonites returned to the ranch happily.

At this time, Xiaozhi's battle with the hyperactive monkey had ended, and the hyperactive monkey, which had consumed a lot of physical strength, finally calmed down.

However, only Naoki knew that it was only temporary, and it would not be long before the hyperactive monkey would start a new round of riots.

At this time, Xiaosheng suddenly saw more than a dozen Dragonites landing on the ranch from the sky.

He immediately exclaimed: "So many Dragonites!"

Hearing this, Xiaogang, Xiaozhi and others also looked up at the sky.

Looking at the Dragonites carrying backpacks, Xiaogang's face was full of surprise.

"Those are..."

"They are the deliverymen in my ranch."

Naoki's voice came from the side.

"Deliverymen?!" Xiaogang was shocked.

Using a Pokémon like Dragonite as a deliveryman, isn't Mr. Naoki too extravagant?

Good, so awesome!

Xiaoyao was also shocked.

Only Xiaozhi was excited. He realized belatedly that this rancher named Naoki might be a very powerful trainer.

Not only was he able to capture Mew and Zapdos and let them form an expedition team to travel outside, but he also captured so many Dragonites...

It's decided! He wants to have a Pokémon battle with Mr. Naoki!

Xiaozhi immediately challenged Naoki.

Naoki: "..." Okay, this is Xiaozhi.

But now it's eleven o'clock in the afternoon, and he should go to prepare lunch.

Thinking of this, Naoki said, "In the afternoon! It's almost time for lunch. I'll go prepare lunch. You can stay at the ranch today. You can visit my ranch during this time."

Naoki called his brother Ai Guanshi and said to him, "Take these guests to visit the ranch."

"Ai." The brother Ai Guanshi nodded slightly, then walked forward and led the way for the few people.

"Then excuse me!"

The four of them thanked the brother Ai Guanshi politely.

Then, the brother Ai Guanshi began to lead everyone to visit Naoki Ranch.

Xiaozhi held the Rotom phone throughout the whole process and learned about the Pokémon that he had never seen through the Pokémon Encyclopedia.

Naoki came to the resting Hyperactive Ape and asked:

"Hyperactive Ape, do you want to see the outside world?"

Hyperactive Ape: "Ahhh?"

"It means traveling with human trainers, constantly challenging gyms, and fighting Pokémon with professionals. In that way, you will become stronger. If you are willing, I will help you find a suitable trainer." Naoki said.

Hearing this, Hyperactive Ape showed longing.

Since its evolution, the blood in its body began to boil.

This feeling made it impossible for it to stop. It just wanted to run in the mountains and fight other Pokémon.

Hyperactive Ape was a little tempted.

No, it would get excited just thinking about it!

Hyperactive Ape, who was sitting on the ground to rest, stood up directly, pounding his chest with both fists, and making passionate shouts.

"Ahhh!"

Naoki: "..."

Okay, he knew the answer.

In that case, we can ask Xiaozhi to capture it later.

Naoki turned around and went back to the room to prepare dinner.

He wanted to see how Jirachi was doing, but found that all the Pokémon had run away.

It was obvious that Mew and Baby Bear took Jirachi and Absol to visit the Pokémon Guild on the World Tree.

Naoki was not in a hurry to call them. He called back the Pokémon through the Rotom phone after preparing lunch today.

At this time, Xiaozhi and his friends had also finished visiting the ranch.

Thinking back to the rare Pokémon in the ranch, Xiaozhi was full of excitement.

When he saw the videophone in the living room, he immediately remembered something.

"Mr. Naoki, can I borrow your videophone?"

"Of course." Naoki nodded. He looked at Xiaozhi's Rotom phone, wondering why Xiaozhi didn't use the Rotom phone.

Maybe it feels better to use the videophone?

While Naoki was thinking, Xiaozhi also dialed out.

Soon, the call was connected.

Professor Oak's face appeared on the screen.

Dr. Oak was a little surprised to see the familiar background behind Xiaozhi: "Huh? Xiaozhi, are you in the Pokémon Center now?"

"No! Because of something, we went to the Padia region halfway. After the matter here is resolved, we will return to the Hoenn region to continue our journey." Xiaozhi explained.

"Padia region?!" Dr. Oak was very surprised.

Xiaozhi nodded excitedly: "Yes, that's right! We came to a ranch with many Pokémon!"

At this time, Dr. Oak saw Naoki passing by Xiaozhi with a dish.

"Naoki?" He said in disbelief.

Naoki had heard Dr. Oak's voice. He smiled and looked at the screen and greeted him: "Long time no see, Dr. Oak!"

"Huh? Dr. Oak knows Mr. Naoki?" Xiaozhi was stunned.

Professor Oak smiled and nodded: "Well, because I have been to Naoki Ranch, but by the way, Naoki is a very powerful trainer. Have you ever had a Pokémon battle with him?"

Hearing this, Xiaozhi's eyes were full of fighting spirit: "Mr. Naoki has accepted my invitation to fight, and he will fight with me after dinner!"

"Ah! Then you have to work hard!" Professor Oak smiled.
