Not a trainer this time

Gu Jian Snail suddenly felt that his body was enveloped by a warm breath.

It had not had this feeling for many years.

Since absorbing too much power of disaster, its consciousness has become drowsy and lost in the cold darkness, and even its perception of the outside world is sometimes absent.

And now this warm feeling...

Gu Jian Snail slowly opened his eyes.

"Gu Xi?" (What's wrong with me?)

Everything in front of him gradually became clear. Gu Jian Snail only felt that he had walked out of the chaos and came to a place full of birdsong and flowers.

Here, he saw a strange human, many strange Pokémon, and his old acquaintances Gu Dinglu and Gu Yuyu.

The next second, Gu Jian Snail showed an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Gu Xi!! Gu Xi?" (How come the two of you are here too!! Could it be that the four of us have gone to heaven and are no longer in the human world?)

Gu Ding Lu: "..."

Gu Yu Yu: "..."

Gu Ding Lu said to Naoki with a smile: "Moo!" (It seems that this guy is getting old and confused!)

Gu Yu Yu explained speechlessly: "Gu Yu." (This is not heaven, this is Naoki's ranch.)

"Gu Yu." (It was he who helped us and rescued us from the seal. It was thanks to him that the disaster power we absorbed was expelled.)

Hearing this, Gu Jian Snail slowly turned his head and looked at the human standing next to Gu Ding Lu with his turbid eyes.

Naoki smiled and greeted it: "Hello, Gu Jian Snail, I am Naoki, the owner of this ranch."

"Gu Xi..." At first, Gu Jian Snail did not react much to this.

But just when Naoki thought it was thinking, Gu Jian Snail suddenly shuddered: "Gu Xi?" (You helped us get rid of those terrible disaster forces?)

Naoki was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "It's me, by the way, Gu Jian Snail, do you feel any changes in your body now?"

He was very curious about what kind of changes Gu Jian Snail had after turning over.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Naoki, Gu Dinglu and Gu Yuyu looked at Gu Jian Snail together, waiting for its answer.

As a result, after a long time, Gu Jian Snail did not speak.

Gu Dinglu complained: "Moo." (It seems that this old guy is still the same, and he is always a step behind in everything.)

Naoki: "..."

Very good, this is in line with the habits of snails.

And at this time, Gu Jian Snail finally spoke.

"Gu Xi...!" (My body...what is going on? It has regained its vitality! I actually have this kind of power!)

"What power?" Naoki asked hurriedly

Half a minute later, Gu Jianwo replied with a surprised look on his face: "Gu Xi!" (I can now provide energy for nearby plants and trees, nourish the growth of forests, and bless flowers, plants and fruit trees to have a good harvest!)

Hearing this, Naoki understood.

"Is it the same as I thought?"

The current Gu Jianwo is called Little Bud Crown.

So far, many Pokémon in the ranch have this power.

In addition to Bud Crown, there are three mount goats, and then Gu Jianwo.

For Naoki, it is not a strange thing to make crops grow all of a sudden.

He nodded and said to Gu Jianwo: "From now on, you will live in the ranch with everyone!"

Gu Jianwo's problem has been solved, and now there is only the last Gu Jianleopard left.

Naoki decided to wait until tomorrow to gather this last disaster Pokémon in one go.

But now, he is going to the World Tree to pick up his apprentice bear and go home.

"Then I'll leave Gu Jian Snail to you two." Naoki turned around and said to Gu Ding Lu and Gu Yu Yu.

"Moo!" (No problem, just leave it to me!)

Gu Ding Lu agreed immediately.

Naoki turned around and left.

Gu Jian Snail followed Gu Ding Lu and Gu Yu Yu slowly and listened to them introduce the ranch.

After walking for a while, Gu Jian Snail felt a little tired, so he stopped and stayed on the grass to bask in the sunset that had not yet set in the sky.

Gu Ding Lu and Gu Yu Yu also stopped.

Gu Jian Snail said slowly: "Gu Xi." (That human is so strange, he actually left me and you two here like this.)

Gu Jian Snail knew very well that they were extremely precious treasures for humans.

Countless people had wanted to get them, using various methods such as stealing, robbing, and cheating.

And now, this human named Naoki just left them outside...

Isn't he afraid that greedy thieves will come and snatch them away?

Gu Jianwo was very puzzled.

Gu Dinglu, who came first, thought calmly for a while and answered:

"Moo." (Maybe it's because Naoki never regarded us as treasures? In his heart, I and you are just ordinary Pokémon.)

The evening breeze blew gently, and Gu Jianwo felt relaxed in this natural atmosphere.

It closed its eyes with great enjoyment and murmured softly:

"Gu Xi..." (What a strange person...zzZ)

As he spoke, Gu Jianwo fell asleep.

Gu Dinglu, Gu Yuyu: "..."

This old guy is still the same!

Not far away, the Bud Crown King looked at the three new Pokémon that joined the ranch with interest.

The sharp and intelligent Gu Yuyu noticed a gaze, turned his head, and his sight met that strange Pokémon in mid-air.

It was a Pokémon that looked like it had a big head.

Its whole body exuded a soft light blue halo, and its whole body was floating gently in mid-air, looking at them with its eyes full of wisdom and love.

Gu Dinglu also turned his head and looked at the Bud Crown King.

"Moo?" (Who are you?)

The Bud Crown King cast his eyes on the Pokémon with a big cauldron on its head. The next second, his majestic voice sounded from the minds of Gu Dinglu and Gu Yuyu.

"I am the Bud Crown King."

World Tree, the realm of the earth.

The red magma flowed rapidly on the earth, and Groudon's earth vein energy surged, turning into the Sword of the Cliff and attacking the Bear Apprentice.

The Bear Apprentice had a resolute expression, and there was no trace of fear on his tender little face.

Its eyes were fixed on Groudon in the distance, and then it took the initiative to rush in that direction.

"Boom!"

The earth was shaking and cracking. The Sword of the Cliff had not arrived, but the crack had already spread to the feet of the Bear Apprentice.

Seeing that the crack was about to swallow the Bear Apprentice into it, the Bear Apprentice suddenly jumped on the spot, stepped on the stone wall next to him and began his own flying and wall-walking!

The Sword of the Cliff was coming fiercely, and the Bear Apprentice clenched his fists and took the initiative to meet it.

There was a violent explosion, and the Bear Apprentice's body flew out from it, falling to the ground with scars all over his body.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Naoki then stepped forward and used the power of Changpan to help the Bear Apprentice heal his injuries.

Feeling the warm power in his body, the bear apprentice was very surprised: "What?"

Naoki smiled and said: "I just came back a while ago, let's stop here today! We will continue tomorrow."

"What!" The bear apprentice nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Groudon withdrew its attack, looked at Naoki, then turned around and walked towards the volcano.

Looking at the direction where Groudon left, Naoki smiled, then bowed his head and said to the bear apprentice: "Let's go too!"

"What!"

One person and one Pokémon left the World Tree and returned to the ranch.

Gulden and Motor Lizard were already waiting for him at the door.

Naoki glanced in the direction of the Ancient Tripod Deer, Ancient Jade Fish, and Ancient Jian Snail, then reached out and touched the heads of several Pokémon:

"Okay, I'll go prepare dinner first, you guys play by yourselves first."

"Gaaaa!"

"Ahgaaaa!"

"Beaaaa!"

For dinner today, Naoki took out the bacon from the storage room and cooked a home-cooked dish of bacon fried with bamboo shoots that the bear disciple had given him before.

The effect of putting these two different ingredients together was unexpectedly good.

The fragrance of bamboo shoots and the unique aroma of bacon blend perfectly, highlighting the rich smell of bacon, and every bite is full of freshness and fragrance.

Just smelling it makes people drool.

Naoki put the fried dish into the dinner plate and glanced at the effect of the dish.

[Bacon fried with bamboo shoots (B): A home-cooked dish made with bamboo shoots and bacon given by the bear disciple. After stir-frying over high heat, the aroma of bamboo shoots and bacon blended perfectly together.

Cooking effect: Bear's Treasure, greatly improves the friendliness of Panda Pokémon. After eating, Panda Pokémon will be satisfied and enter a state of ecstasy for 5 hours. This effect is only effective for Panda Pokémon.

Ecstasy: A special state. In this state, Pokémon will occasionally have sudden ideas, and their comprehension ability will increase greatly. At the same time, their memory will decrease slightly.

Evaluation: For enthusiasts, it is a rare delicacy. 】

Ecstasy state? Naoki was a little surprised.

The comprehension ability will be greatly improved, but the memory will decrease slightly... If the two offset each other, it can still bring some comprehension improvement to Pokémon.

But the problem is that the effect of this dish seems to be only effective for Panda Pokémon.

Is Bear Apprentice a panda?

After a little thought, Naoki decided to let Bear Apprentice try it later. After all, there is a "bear" in Bear Apprentice's name.

In addition to bacon fried bamboo shoots, Naoki also steamed a pot of rice with bacon.

Soon, the unique fragrance floated along the air and floated into the pasture.

After a while, a group of Pokémon playing outside were attracted by the smell.

Gulton, Motor Lizard, Flutterwing, Dragonite...

They gathered in front of the kitchen, eager to taste the food that exuded that smell.

Seeing this scene, Naoki said with a smile: "Is it so fragrant?"

The pieces of bacon were dried and marinated because he bought too much meat before and was afraid that it would go bad.

I didn't expect this thing to be so popular with Pokémon.

"Awoo!"

Dragonite nodded his big head repeatedly, and in his mind, he had already imagined how delicious the meat with that strange fragrance would taste.

Gulton and Motor Lizard on the side also nodded repeatedly.

"Ah, gah!"

Seeing this, Naoki picked out a few pieces of bacon and fed them to the Pokémon in front of him one by one.

The marinated bacon is distinctly fat and lean. After being stir-fried over high heat, the color of the meat becomes golden and shiny, which is very tempting.

As soon as the bacon entered their mouths, several Pokémon felt a strange salty fragrance and the aroma of meat melting in their mouths. It tasted soft and chewy, not dry or greasy.

"Dream!"

Flutter's eyes lit up.

It likes this kind of food!

So, Flutter swallowed the meat in its mouth into its stomach, and then immediately looked at the pot impatiently.

"Don't worry, there are still a lot of them at home. If you like to eat, eat more." Naoki said with a smile.

At worst, he can buy some more fresh meat to marinate into bacon.

Hearing this, Dragonite happily hugged Naoki.

"Awoo~"

"Okay, okay, let go quickly, go prepare, and eat soon!" Naoki patted Dragonite's chubby big paws.

Hearing this, several Pokémon immediately ran to the dining table and sat down obediently, waiting for the meal to start.

The Aibutuan brother and sister helped Naoki to serve dinner to the table.

Naoki specially placed the bacon and bamboo shoots in front of the bear apprentice: "Try it?"

"Yes?"

The bear apprentice immediately lowered his head and tried it.

The next second, a surprised expression appeared on his face, and then he began to eat it with relish.

However, what interested the bear apprentice was not the bamboo shoots, but the bacon...

"The bear apprentice is really not a panda..." It's a pity, otherwise it could help the bear apprentice to a higher level.

Seeing that the bear apprentice also liked to eat, Naoki said: "Eat it, I will go to the town tomorrow to see if there are fresh bamboo shoots for sale, and then I will buy them back and continue to cook this dish for you."

"Yes!" The bear apprentice looked very happy.

*

The next morning, after breakfast, Naoki sent the bear apprentice to the World Tree to practice.

Then, he rode on Gultun and set out on the road to conquer the Ancient Sword Leopard.

In the pasture, Gudinglu, Guyuyu and Gujianwo looked at the direction where Gultun left.

Gudinglu: "Moo." (It seems that we will see the Ancient Sword Leopard guy soon.)

Guyuyu: "Guyu..." (I haven't seen it for a long time. I wonder what it looks like now...)

"Moo!" (Don't worry, Naoki will definitely find it. Then the four of us will be able to reunite. I am looking forward to that moment!)

Guyuyu floated in Gudinglu's big cauldron. It thought of Gujianwo who had been silent all the time, and asked:

"Guyu?"

Gujianwo was bathing in the morning light and enjoying this moment quite comfortably.

Long ago, when they were not swallowed by the power of disaster, it liked to stay on the grass from morning to night to bask in the sun like now.

This kind of life is so comfortable!

What? Gu Yuyu and Gu Dinglu seemed to be talking about Gu Jianbao?

Gu Jianwo reacted slowly.

"Gu Xi." (Don't worry, since I'm fine, Gu Jianbao will be fine too. Now, I'm going to have a good sleep, hawu...zzZ.)

Gu Jianwo's voice gradually became lower, but at the end, he yawned and lowered his head to sleep.

Gu Yuyu: "..."

It should have known it would be like this.

Gu Dinglu looked at this scene with a smile: "Moo!" (This old guy is still the same!)
