Not a trainer this time

However, in the end, Groudon and Kyogre still did not register an account on the Pokémon forum.

Because the pride of the legendary beasts made them disdain to use that method to attract humans.

Giratina's seduction plan failed. It originally wanted to see if the fans of these two Pokémon could surpass itself, but it seems that they have no such idea at all.

And Groudon and Kyogre, who were unwilling to give in to each other, were still arguing in the group and satisfying their desire to talk.

Naoki wanted to stop it, but after careful consideration, he decided to just quarrel. As long as they didn't fight, everything would be fine.

In this way, the pace of time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of the 200th year of the League Calendar.

It was almost the New Year, and in the evening of this day, Naoki drove his pickup truck to the town to buy New Year's goods.

It was already late winter, and there might be a heavy snow in two days. By then, the road to the town might be buried by snow.

Therefore, Naoki planned to take advantage of the good weather today to prepare more New Year's goods.

Driving to the side of the road in Zheqin Town, Naoki jumped out of the car with a few Pokémon.

"Meat steak, flour, rice, snacks... and firewood for burning."

Naoki read the things he wanted to buy on the list while walking towards his destination.

People in the Pokémon world also celebrate the New Year. Although it is still a while before the New Year, the streets are already full of the New Year atmosphere.

Pokémon wearing scarves and children wearing red cotton clothes look very festive.

There are also several workers and monsters carrying fireworks on both sides of the road.

These fireworks will be released on the night of the New Year.

Some merchants in the town know Naoki, and when Naoki passes by, they will smile and wave to say hello.

"Good morning, Naoki! Are you bringing your Pokémon out to buy things?"

Naoki smiled and replied, "Yes! The New Year is coming soon. Buy some New Year goods and take them back. Then you can stay at home for the winter!"

"Hidden?" The owner of a flower shop showed an interested expression on her face when she heard this unfamiliar word.

On the flower stand next to her, a few sedge grasses and sedge flowers were lazily standing.

"It means staying at home and spending the winter warmly, like the cat hiding in a warm nest to sleep on a snowy day." Naoki explained with a smile.

The female owner suddenly realized, "That's really good. Oh, by the way, the store is holding an event. In order to give back to customers who have consumed in the store before, we will give a pot of fresh flowers. Just when you are here, this pot of flowers will be given to you!"

As she said, the female owner handed over a pot of brightly blooming flowers.

Naoki was a big customer who had bought many flower species in their store before.

Seeing this, Naoki did not refuse. He took the flower pot with a smile and handed it to Gulden next to him: "Hold it!"

"Ah, gush..." Gulden held the flower pot obediently with his paws.

"We still have things to do, so we won't talk anymore. See you later!" Naoki said goodbye to the female shop owner.

"Okay, see you later. Next year, the store will get a batch of flower species unique to the Kalos region. Remember to come and see them then!"

"No problem!"

After leaving the flower shop, Naoki turned and ran towards the department store.

Ergui and Frostmilk were very familiar with this place. As soon as they came in, several Pokémon looked at Naoki expectantly.

Naoki pushed a cart and said to them with a smile: "Go, take whatever you want! I'll help you check out."

"Boni~"

"Bamo~"

"..."

Several Pokémon made happy noises, then turned and ran towards the shelves.

Naoki followed them with his cart. He took out his Rotom phone, took a photo and sent it to Qishu.

[Wing King: Going to the supermarket with Pokémon, what are you doing? ]

Qishu also replied quickly.

[Qishu: Listening to my mom's nagging! They are really the two of them. They didn't go anywhere this year. ]

Naoki's heart sank. He heard Qishu talk about her parents.

It is said that the two were trainers when they were young. They fell in love with each other at first sight during their travels and then got together.

Later, after the trip, the two got married with their Pokémon and settled down in the bustling metropolis of Brewing Light City.

They nagged Qishu. Could it be that they thought Qishu fell in love too early?

[Wing King: Do they think you fell in love too early? ]

[Qishu: Huh? Of course not. They both wanted me to get married early, and I'm already an adult, okay! [Puffy.jpg]

Naoki: "..."

The image of Qishu puffing up like a little pufferfish appeared in his mind, and Naoki couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Eruption and the others came back jumping and jumping, obviously having already picked out the things they liked.

Seeing this, Naoki put away his Rotom phone, took a few Pokémon to the supermarket, and after purchasing the things he wanted to buy, he left here.

After moving the things onto the pickup truck and making sure nothing was left out, Naoki started the car and returned to the ranch.

Before they got out of the car, the Tomb Dog ran towards them from a distance.

That look was just like a dog welcoming its owner home.

In order to prevent the heavy snow behind, Naoki parked the car in the garage, opened the door and got out of the car, and picked up the Tomb Dog that ran over.

The Tomb Dog excitedly stuck out its tongue, and then licked Naoki's hand.

"Okay, okay!" Naoki touched its head and said, "Let's go home!"

"Woof!"

The tomb dog started running around Zhishu excitedly.

Naoki looked helpless, and while preventing himself from stepping on the tomb dog, he and Gulton and the others moved the goods out of the car and back into the house.

As a result, not long after I finished doing this, dense snowflakes began to fall from the white sky.

The cold north wind howled by, and there was a vague "whining" sound coming from the distant back mountain, as if the wind was swallowing.

Standing by the window and looking into the distance, I can only see a vast expanse of white.

Seeing this scene, Naoki breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had foreseen it and moved the Kirby Beast, Braided Sheep, Bad Butterfly, and Three Bees to where they should go in advance.

It's snowing heavily outside, but it's warm inside the house.

The lava worm was leisurely eating tree fruits in the fireplace, and the warmth from its body spread along the heating pipes to every corner of the room.

Bathed in the warm air, the Motorized Lizard showed an expression of enjoyment on his face and lay on the carpet with a contented look on his face.

Motorcycle Lizard: ()

Babu Woodchuck opened the window and looked out at the heavy snowfall. He called his friends behind him, as if he wanted the lava bugs to come over and take a look.

Sure enough, the lava worm heard the noise and moved slowly over. It moved into the pipe behind Babu Woodchuck, and looked at the heavy snow outside the window through the opening.

"Woo?"

"Bamo...(﹏)"

It looks so cold at first glance!

"If you think it's too scary outside, you can close the curtains!" Naoki smiled and walked past Babu.

Babu Tubo immediately turned his head and patted his chest: "Bamo!"

It's not afraid! It is a brave Barbu woodchuck!

As the sky outside gradually darkened, Naoki touched Babu's head, and then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for everyone.

The weather is so cold today, it's perfect for soup.

The spicy, fragrant and steaming soup is so comforting when you drink it!

Just thinking about it makes me want to move my index finger.

In this case, let’s make a pot of soup for dinner!

Thinking of this, Naoki turned around and took out a few pieces of potatoes, a piece of beef, and some other ingredients from the cupboard.

Cut the potatoes into small pieces and the beef into small pieces. Finally, add the ingredients and simmer in the pot until the potatoes and beef are stewed soft and delicious.

The pot was steaming gurglingly, and the alluring aroma gradually spread to all parts of the room. The Pokémon who were playing in the living room smelled the smell, swallowed their saliva, and were attracted.

"Go and sit at the dining table first. Dinner will begin soon!"

"Ah gah!"

Many Pokémon, led by Guluton, immediately ran to the restaurant.

Naoki turned off the fire, scooped up a spoonful of soup and tasted it.

Well, it has a slightly spicy taste in the mouth, but it is not strong. The soup is full of the fragrant aroma of stewed potatoes and the aroma of beef. After one sip, all the chills in the body are driven away, and the whole body becomes warm.

Perfect!

Naoki took a look at the effect of this soup and found that it was indeed cold protection, which was what he expected.

Worried that the Pokémon would not have enough to eat, Naoki prepared a few more tree fruits and snacks, and then placed them on the dining table.

"Let's move!"

All the Pokémon immediately started feasting.

It is so happy to be able to drink such a bowl of warm soup in the cold winter!

After dinner, Naoki heated up another pot of hot water, lay in the bathtub and took a comfortable bath.

Small Pokémon such as Baboo and Eevee also ran in and floated slowly in the bathtub.

The big Pokémon headed by Guluton could not get in, so they could only sit and watch pitifully.

"Ah geez..."

Naoki: "..."

At this moment, Rotom's cell phone suddenly remembered a ringtone.

Someone made a video call!

Naoki took it over and saw that it was actually a call from Sirona.

He hung up the video silently and made a voice call.

"Hello? Miss Sirona, what's the matter with calling me at this time?" Naoki asked.

Sirona's cold voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm very sorry, I have a confusing matter that I would like to ask you to answer."

Hearing this, Naoki was a little surprised: "Huh? What is it?"

Sirona: "That's right. Since you told me about the places related to the God of Creation last time, I went to those places to investigate."

Sirona slowly recounted her experiences after leaving the ranch last time.

That time, Naoki guided her in three directions.

They are the Alfu Ruins in the Johto region, Midina in the Sinnoh region, and the Valley of Creation in the Kalos region.

The first place she investigated was the Alfu ruins, where she discovered a large number of unknown totems and some ancient murals of the ancient Sinnoh people who migrated to the city.

After that, Sirona returned to the Sinnoh region and went to Midina, where she met Sheena and Kebin, who were selected by Arceus and possessed superpowers. They are the guardians of the Midina ruins.

There, Sirona learned about Arceus and the Jewel of Life.

After learning this information, Sirona went to the Carlos area and visited the people living in seclusion in the Valley of Creation.

The people there believed in Arceus and built special statues for him to worship.

And in addition, Sirona also met a naughty Pokémon named Hupa there, who lived in the Valley of Creation with the people there.

"Is Arceus the god who created the world we live in?" Sirona asked.

Naoki replied: "If the records in the data are correct, it should be like this."

He paused and then asked: "I wonder if Miss Sirona knows the history of the Sinnoh region hundreds of years ago when it was still called the Xicui Region."

Sirona was slightly startled: "The Washui area?"

Naoki hummed: "I once learned relevant information from an ancient ruins. That ruins were left over from the Xicui era."

"It is said that about 1,000-2,000 years ago, the earliest humans who lived in Xicui were called [Ancient Sinnoh People]."

"They worshiped Arceus, the Pokémon who created the world, and built verdant ancient ruins, such as the Random Ruins and the Snow Peak Temple."

"That ancient history clearly shows that the world was created by Arceus."

Hearing this, Sirona nodded slightly thoughtfully.

Arceus created the world, and after that, he created the Pokémon Dialga and Palkia, who control time and space, to maintain the material foundation of the world.

At the same time, Giratina was also created, which looked after another space and supported each other with the real world.

Then, there are the gods of the lake, Emrido, Uxie and Aknom...

Recalling the myths and legends she had investigated, at this moment, Sirona felt that her mind suddenly became clear.

She was extremely happy. In this way, the ancient myths and legends circulating in the Sinnoh region would be investigated clearly.

To a mythologist, this kind of thing is like winning the lottery jackpot.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Naoki. In that case, I won't disturb your rest. When I have time later, I will go to the Padia area to visit you in person." Sirona said softly.

"You are Welcome."

After a few simple greetings, the two hung up the phone.

The water in the bathtub was a little cold, so Naoki stood up, wiped off the water on his body, changed into pajamas, and then helped Babu and the others dry their wet fur with a hair dryer.

Babu Groundhog sat on the chair enjoying himself. After his hair was dried, he happily flew to the bed and got ready to sleep.

Naoki smiled, reached out and touched Gu Ledun's head next to him, then walked out of the room and checked whether the doors and windows were closed tightly.

He glanced out the window and saw that the outside was completely covered in white snow.

The wind is blowing, the trees are shaking, the snow is flying, and there are jackdaws outside the house.

Naoki closed the curtains, and immediately everything was blocked out.

"Phew...it's time to go to bed!"

Naoki turned around and returned to the room, lay on the bed, and closed his eyes in peace with the firelight and warmth from the lava worms.

Next to him, Babu, the groundhog, was also lying comfortably on the pillow. A group of Eevee also ran up, curled up next to Naoki, and fell into sleep comfortably.
