Not a trainer this time

Everyone in the expedition team has their own story and life. From now on, they will meet new Pokémon, make new friends, and encounter new stories.

Whether it is the Pokémon rescued by Mewtwo or the Pokémon invited back by the Heroes Expedition, everyone lives in the same place.

From now on, he doesn't have to worry!

Seeing this, Naoki put away Arceus' mobile phone, stood up and opened the bathroom door, and saw Gu Ledun squatting aside.

"Ah gahsh~!"

Seeing Naoki coming out, Luton stood up immediately, his big tail wagging.

Zhi Shu grinned at it, reached out and touched Gu Ledun's head, and said to it: "Let's go! We are also going to start a new life!"

Now that the Arceus incident is over, the matter he discussed with Qishu a few months ago should also be officially put on the agenda.

In the Pokémon world, there are not so many red tapes for two people to fall in love.

Since he likes Qishu and Qishu also likes him, they can register their marriage and move in together.

Although Naoki felt a little happy, everyone in this world seemed to be like this. In this regard, Naoki chose to do as the Romans do.

But before that, he had to make good preparations and visit Qishu's parents with some gifts.

Naoki stood up and walked outside.

Guluton followed behind, and he recalled it carefully. Although the memory of the past was too long ago, Guluton remembered everything about Naoki clearly.

It seems that this year, Naoki and Qi Shu will hold a wedding.

If it remembered correctly, their little master would be born soon.

At that time, Zhishu Ranch will be complete, and they will live happily in the ranch together.

Thinking of that scene, Luden couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on his face.

"Ah gah~"

So Luton followed Naoki to the living room, and Naoki went to the second floor to use the computer to check what gifts he should give to his father-in-law and mother-in-law before getting married in the Pokémon world.

Gullton stayed in the living room and fantasized about his future life.

This time, it will be involved from a completely different angle!

Babu, who came back to drink water, saw the silly expression on Gulton's face. He couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Bamo?" (What are you thinking about?)

Therefore, Leton subconsciously replied: "Ah gah!" (I'm thinking of the little master that Naoki gave birth to!)

"Bamo?!" Babu was shocked.

Little master? Naoki is going to have a baby? when? How come it doesn't know?

Therefore, Luton realized that he had slipped his words, and he immediately said perfunctorily: "Ah, geez." (That's my guess.)

However, Babu Tubo entered his imagination.

Naoki is about to give birth to a baby, so will Naoki's baby be able to come to the ranch and make friends with them like Anna in "Warm Lava Bug House"?

"Bamo!"

Baboo was looking forward to it so much that he didn't care about the story and went straight to the lava bugs in the fireplace and told him about how soon Zhi Shu's baby would come to the pasture and make friends with them.

The lava bug in the fireplace raised its head and looked over with confusion: "How cool?"

Babu Tubo fantasized about his future life: "Bamo~"

Will Naoki's baby be like cute little Anna, looking for them all over the house, wanting to make friends and play with them?

Should they hide and play hide-and-seek with the baby?

"Well..." The lava bug exhaled a mouthful of white smoke helplessly.

It had seen the Warm Lava Bug Home with Babu Woodchuck before.

But if it remembers correctly, Anna in the Nuan Nuan Lava Bug House is not the baby of the owner of the lava bug, right?

It seems that the relationship between them is that of granddaughter and grandfather and grandmother?

...I can't figure it out.

The lava bugs were confused.

"Giving gifts depends on the other person's preferences... If it's a trainer, give me a commemorative Poké Ball, or something the trainer likes..." Naoki muttered as he read the gift-giving guide displayed on the computer screen.

It makes sense, but he has never met Qishu's parents before and doesn't know their preferences and behavior.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Naoki dialed Qishu's phone number using Rotom's mobile phone, ready to discuss it with her.

Soon, the call was connected, and when Qishu heard Naoki's intention, he immediately laughed stupidly.

"Do you really want to come over?" she asked.

In Qishu's understanding, it is a very solemn matter for both parties to meet their parents. Whenever this time comes, it means that the two will get married soon.

"Of course." Naoki nodded: "But the problem is that I don't know what they like. It would be bad if I gave them some inappropriate gifts later."

Speaking of business, Qishu also started to think.

"My dad was also a trainer when he was young. His favorite things are all things related to trainers. I recently saw him watching the game of Galar champion Dandi! He seems to like Dandi very much. ”

"My mother likes Angry Manju, a specialty of the Johto area. She ate it once when she was traveling, and she still hasn't forgotten it."

After a moment, Qishu chuckled: "Hey, actually, as long as it's from you, they will like anything."

Naoki: "...They are not you."

Angry buns?

It's no problem to go to Kaji Town to buy a pack. After all, with Gu Leton's speed, he can run back and forth quickly.

As for Dante, it's much easier. Naoki decided to use his connections to ask Dante for an autographed photo.

Qishu is still busy receiving challengers.

It's almost August now, and in two months, the major leagues will start to hold league competitions.

Therefore, challengers who haven't collected enough gym badges are catching up recently.

After the two agreed on the time of the visit, they hung up the phone.

Qishu went to greet the challenger, while Naoki went to prepare the gift for the visit.

World Tree, the expedition team guild.

It's been a while since everyone entered the Mysterious Labyrinth for adventure.

During this period, everyone brought back various props from the labyrinth and made many Pokémon friends.

And today, when everyone gathered together to chat after the adventure, they suddenly talked about Naoki.

Some Pokémon recalled what Naoki had said.

Naoki seemed to say that when he gets old, he will move to the World Tree and live with everyone.

"Mee? Mee!" (Naoki is also going to live on the World Tree? That's great!)

Hearing this, the Mililongs jumped up excitedly.

The other Pokémon were also very happy.

"Chafu..." But the Bombyx was a little worried.

Because there are no houses and beds for humans to live in on the World Tree, will Naoki sleep with them on the big trees in the forest?

If that happens, Naoki will fall down.

"Lucky..." Jigglypuff didn't know what to do for a while.

And just then, one of the Bombyx came up with a good idea.

"Chafu!" (In that case, let's help Naoki build a house together!)

The expedition team has collected a lot of things in the maze recently, and they have also made friends with old builders, who are good at building things.

As long as they are there, any house can be built!

Hearing this, the other Pokémon thought it was a good idea.

Charizard: "Awooo!" (In that case, I'll go to the maze to help collect wood!)

Sandshrew happily raised his sharp claws: "Kuga!" (I'll help dig the foundation for the house!)

Pikachu raised his tail: "Pikapi!" (I can use Iron Tail to chop wood!)

As soon as they said it, all the Pokémon took action and began to help Naoki build his home on the World Tree.

Not only the house where Naoki lived, but also the place where the Pokémon in the ranch lived!

In this way, when Naoki and the Pokémon moved in in the future, they could live here directly!

*

Naoki didn't know about the plans of the Pokémon on the World Tree because he was busy preparing gifts.

In the blink of an eye, time came to September 1, 201 of the League Calendar.

Today is the day that Naoki and Qishu agreed to visit Brewing Light City.

Early in the morning, the ranch was busy.

After knowing Naoki's plan, the Ai Guanshi brothers and sisters, like caring housekeepers, prepared a decent piece of clothing for Naoki, and carefully helped him to tidy up the folds and collar of the clothes.

"Ai ah ~" Sister Ai Guanshi was very happy. In this way, Naoki should have a family soon, and then the ranch will welcome new life.

In this way, Naoki will also have a family!

Although they and Gulerton are family members for Naoki, Pokémon family and human family are always different.

If Naoki stays with Pokémon all day without talking to humans, he will definitely feel very lonely.

Pokémon family and human family are all around Naoki, so it is perfect!

Sister Ai Guanshi is happy for Naoki.

Brother Ai Guanshi is also helping Naoki prepare gifts.

In recent years, brother Ai Guanshi has become more mature and stable. It no longer needs to pretend to be a little adult, but has become a real big Pokémon and a qualified housekeeper.

"Okay, thank you." Naoki reached out and took the gift from his brother Ai Guanshi.

His brother Ai Guanshi looked at Naoki calmly and nodded gently: "Ai."

Naoki looked at the other Pokémon around him who were happy, as if everyone was happy for him.

"Then, I'm going to set off!" Naoki said.

"Gaao!"

"Bamo!"

"Awoo!"

"Boni~"

"..."

A group of Pokémon responded.

In their eyes, Naoki took the gift and rode on Gulerton on the road to Niangguang City.

The gift box was a gift he specially prepared for Qishu's parents.

It contained a signed photo of Dandi and some hard-to-buy champion peripherals, as well as a bag of freshly baked angry steamed buns.

This kind of steamed bun is a specialty of Kaji Town. If it is left for a long time, the taste will be affected, so Naoki made an advance reservation and went to get it back this morning.

"Huh..."

It was the first time in my life that I faced such a thing. It was impossible not to be nervous.

Even when facing Arceus, Naoki was not nervous.

Because he didn't know what kind of people Qishu's parents were, whether they would be kind or sarcastic, and whether they would like his gift.

Gulton under him noticed Naoki's mood and immediately comforted him: "Agas!" Don't worry, it's okay, everything will go very smoothly!

Feeling Gulton's thoughts, Naoki was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and asked:

"How do you know if you haven't experienced this kind of thing? But speaking of it, Gulton, I don't think I have asked you yet, can the Pokémon living in the past fall in love with each other and have children?"

If not, how do those paradoxical Pokémon reproduce?

Gulton's eyes widened, as if he didn't expect Naoki to ask this question.

"Agas!"

"Huh?"

Gulton stopped talking.

After Gulton's interruption, Naoki was not as nervous as before.

At this time, Niangguang City arrived.

Gulton landed at the door of Qishu's residence, and from a distance, Naoki saw Qishu waiting there.

Autumn is here, the weather is getting cooler, Qishu put on a yellow sweater full of electric trainer style, with a cartoon pattern of Magneto printed on it, looking very cute.

Before Zhishu landed, he saw Qishu standing in front of the building with the electric belly frog and waving at them vigorously.

"Here-"

Gulerton landed, Zhishu got off it and asked, "Are we going there now?"

"Hehe!" Qishu nodded happily: "Yes, I have told them in advance, they should be preparing lunch to entertain you now!"

Naoki: "To be honest, I'm a little nervous, they won't dislike me, right?"

"Don't worry! Hello, little Gulerton!" Qishu leaned over and touched Gulerton's head, smiled and greeted it, and then continued: "They will definitely like you, if they don't agree..."

At this point, Qishu grinned, revealing a pair of cute little tiger teeth, and a sly smile on his face: "Then let's elope!"

Naoki was dumbfounded.

Qishu took Zhishu's arm, and his tone was full of fighting spirit: "Go forward bravely like Mama Eel King jumping over the dragon gate!"

Naoshu: "..."

Seeing Qishu's quirky appearance, Naoshu knew that his future life would probably not be boring!

"Let's go!"

The two of them set off towards Qishu's old house with Gulton and Electric Belly Frog.

The house where Qishu lived was not far from the house where his parents lived. Even if they walked, they could reach the place in more than ten minutes.

"That's it!" Qishu pointed to a mansion and said to Naoshu.

Naoshu looked closely and saw a two-story house with a courtyard located in the middle of a street.

The door of the courtyard was not closed, there was a tree planted in the middle, and there was a lawn on both sides of the road. Some Pokémon were playing in the yard.

Electric Petrel, Motorcycle Lizard, Shuttlecock Flower, Walking Grass, Elegant Cat...

Seeing the two come in, these Pokémon cast curious eyes towards this side.

Qishu greeted them cheerfully: "Good morning, everyone!"

"Come here, come here!"

Inside the house, a man and a woman heard the noise outside and immediately gathered in front of the window to observe the situation outside.

They were Qishu's parents, the man and woman who had visited Zhishu Ranch before.

Looking at the familiar figure, the man's mind once again emerged with his experience of being six-in-one at that ranch, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Bastard... hum!

"Oh, don't put on such an expression! Smile quickly, you should be happy today! Otherwise, people will misunderstand that we don't welcome him."

As a result, the corners of the man's mouth turned down even more.

"Stingy!" The woman twisted his waist angrily, and then threatened: "No matter what, remember to behave well for me later, otherwise I will see how I deal with you tonight! Get ready, I'm going to the kitchen, you should go to open the door!"

Man: "..."

At this time, the doorbell rang.

The woman quickly turned and walked into the kitchen, and started cooking, pretending that she didn't see anything.

The man sighed helplessly and went forward to open the door.

Naoki was thinking about how to greet him when the door in front of him opened.

He subconsciously greeted him: "Hello, uncle..."

But the next second, he saw a familiar figure inside the door.

The two looked at each other, and Naoki was stunned for a moment.

The man had a serious expression, and thinking of his wife's instructions, his face softened a little, but his tone still sounded very serious: "Come in!"

After that, he turned and walked into the house.

Seeing Naoki and his father, Qishu on the side was very confused. She whispered: "Have you seen my father before?"

Naoki: "... This is a long story."

"Let's make it short."

"Anyway, uncle went to the ranch to challenge, and I got six in a row."

Hearing this, Qishu immediately widened her eyes. She thought of her parents' strange behavior before, and immediately remembered the whole story in her mind.

I secretly went to see someone, but ended up being six in a row...

She really couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The man who heard the noise turned his head and looked: "?"

Qishu quickly waved his hand and explained: "It's okay, it's okay, I thought of something interesting!"

Man: "..."

That's all.

He looked at Zhishu and said to him in a rather stiff tone: "Sit down!"

At this time, the woman came out of the kitchen, pretending to have just discovered the two people's arrival, with a smile on her face:

"Are you here?"

Seeing the familiar face of the woman, Naoki was stunned again.

This...isn't she the lady who got lost near the ranch and asked him for directions and gave him a set of handmade Poké Balls?

At this moment, even if he was slow, he guessed what the two meant.

They were not going to challenge the trial, nor were they really lost, but to observe him at the ranch!

Seeing Naoki's expression, the woman showed a kind smile on her face: "See you again, sit down first, lunch will be ready soon, and we will talk slowly later!"

"Oh, okay!" Naoki responded, and then sat down on the sofa.

But when he faced the man opposite, he didn't know what to say for a while.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Uncle, I didn't mean it last time. I didn't know it was you..."

Man: "..."

He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he noticed from the corner of his eye that the woman who came out of the kitchen behind Naoki cast a warning look at him.

"It's okay. Pokémon battles should be taken seriously." The man said, "This is the way of a trainer!"

Naoki was relieved and put the gift he brought on the table: "This is the gift I prepared for you."

At this time, the woman also prepared lunch. She called Qishu to bring the food to the table together.

Seeing the gift on the table, she smiled: "This kid is really, he's here, why bring a gift... Come and eat! This Pokémon, come here too, this is the food I cooked for you!"

Gulton looked over and was immediately attracted by the smell of the food: "Ah, gah!"

Seeing Gulerton's appearance, Naoki was not as nervous as before. After he responded, he was invited to sit at the dining table.

The man on the sofa sighed helplessly, then stood up and followed.

Soon, the four people and Pokémon sat around the dining table.

Naoki was surprised to find that the table in front of him was full of various Chinese food!

The woman said gently: "I heard from Qishu that you like this kind of food very much, so I prepared these. I don't know if you like it. Come and try it!"

Hearing this, Naoki was suddenly moved. Just because he likes it, so a large table is prepared?

He glanced at Qishu, and Qishu grinned at him.

Naoki picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, and immediately nodded and said: "Well, delicious!"

"If it's delicious, then eat more!" The woman saw Naoki's expression, and she felt more and more pity for this child who had no parents and ran a ranch alone.

What a good child!

Not only is he kind, but he is also so capable. He runs such a large ranch by himself.

His previous life must have been very lonely, right? But it doesn't matter, there will be Qishu and them in the future!

"Is the ranch still busy?" the woman asked.

"Not busy, winter is coming soon, and the fields can rest for a while." Naoki answered truthfully.

"That's good. If you are too busy, remember to tell us, and we can go over to help!" said the woman.

During the chat, the atmosphere gradually eased, and Naoki was not as nervous as at the beginning.

During the meal, they talked a lot about the ranch, the online store, the trials in the ranch, and daily life.

Naoki told them everything.

When the man was young, he was a trainer. When he heard that Naoki created the trial to help the passing trainers, his face eased.

"Yes, that can indeed help many trainers improve their strength."

"Hehe, even the chief is thanking Naoki!" Qishu said on the side.

The man was very surprised: "Chief?"

"Yes, Naoki is very powerful!" Qishu nodded repeatedly: "Many gym leaders and champions will go to his ranch to challenge the trial and hone their strength. Even if they are strangers, Naoki will receive them seriously! So far, no one has been able to defeat him!"

The man opened his mouth. He didn't expect this young man to be so powerful... Even the champion-level trainers were not his opponents!

No wonder he was defeated by a string of six... He lost to such an existence and was convinced!

"It's not that exaggerated!" Naoki said modestly.

Hearing this, the woman immediately understood how her daughter and Naoki met.

She really didn't make a mistake!

The woman's eyes became more and more satisfied. She smiled and asked: "So when are you going to get married? This time you come here for this matter, right? Do you have an idea in mind?"

Qishu looked at Naoki.

Naoki was stunned. He didn't expect the topic to be so direct.

The woman seemed to see what he was thinking and explained:

"Actually, as long as two people like each other, everything is not a problem. If you want to live with each other, see each other anytime and anywhere, and stay with each other, you can get married if you have this idea!"

Hearing this, Naoki looked at Qishu.

And at this moment, the man who had been silent on the side spoke.

"Next spring! In March, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, which is a good sign."

He had studied it secretly before, and even found a fortune teller at the market to do divination.

The fortune teller said that the spring of the 202nd year of the Alliance Calendar is a good time to get married. It is said that if you get married in March when the flowers are blooming, the couple will grow old together and live happily forever.

March? That's still six months away, a long time...

Thinking of this, Naoki suddenly realized that he was also looking forward to living with Qishu.

Maybe this is the customs and practices of the Pokémon world?

"Okay." He no longer hesitated, nodded immediately, and agreed.

After that, Naoki looked at Qishu, but found that Qishu was also looking at him.

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of expectations.

The woman smiled: "In that case, then it's settled!"

The man's face eased, and after thinking for a while, he said: "You are alone, without the help of your parents, let us prepare for the marriage!"

The woman also cast a seeking look at Naoki: "What do you think?"

Naoki thought about it, shook his head and said: "Don't bother you, I have a few elders in Ziqin Town, they will help me."

"Okay, in that case, then it's decided!" The woman laughed softly.

*

In the evening, Naoki said goodbye to Qishu and her parents, and returned to Ziqin Town with Gulden, and consulted Mayor Thomas about this matter, asking what he should do.

Hearing this, Mayor Thomas was shocked.

Because of this, the news that Naoki was going to get married soon spread throughout Ziqin Town.

Clary, Ivan, Mrs. Dantes, Mr. Elif and others sent their blessings, and enthusiastically wanted to help Naoki prepare for the wedding next spring.

Naoki was moved by everyone's enthusiasm. The people here... are so nice!

The Pokémon in the ranch also learned that Naoki was going to get married. After learning the specific meaning of marriage from Ai Guanshi, the Pokémon also seemed very happy.

They were also sincerely happy for Naoki.

Late at night, Naoki was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep.

Gulerton lay beside him and closed his eyes peacefully. It was indeed right that it remembered everything well.

In this way, it will be able to see its little master again soon!

Yeci learned that Naoki was going to get married the next day.

Early in the morning, Naoki received a message from Yeci.

[Yeci: Getting married? Congratulations! Can I apply to be your witness ＾_＾]
