Not a trainer this time

After hanging up Yeci's call, Zhi Shu set off and rushed home.

The carriage was filled with food and daily necessities. The Chinese New Year was coming soon. For the next period of time, Zhi Shu planned to stay in the pasture and not go out again, because this kind of cold weather was most suitable for staying at home.

In the afternoon, snowflakes started to fall in the sky again. Naoki called all the Pokémon into the house, closed the doors and windows, and blocked out all the cold wind.

The Pokémon were playing on the floor, and Naoki was simmering delicious mushroom soup in a pot in the kitchen.

This autumn, he picked up a lot of wild mushrooms in the back mountains. He hung them all under the eaves to dry in the sun and made dried mushrooms.

After taking a nap, Baby Bear, Mew, and Victini returned to their original energetic appearance.

While Naoki was making soup, they sat around the fireplace in the living room with Baboo and the others, telling a group of Pokémon about the things they encountered and the friends they made while traveling outside.

Seeing how vividly they spoke, out of curiosity, Naoki secretly ate several pieces of translator melon seed cakes and eavesdropped on their conversation.

There is no way, the power of Viridian can only perceive the general thoughts of Pokémon, and there are also distance requirements. You must be close to Pokémon, or touch them before you can understand it.

In contrast, the translation of melon seed cake has a wider scope of application.

"miu!" (We met a Pokémon that sang very nicely. It was captured by the bad guys, and we helped it defeat the bad guys! In order to thank us, it gave us a very nice song!)

"One!" (Yes! Its name is Meloetta. We originally wanted to invite it to live in the World Tree, but it refused and returned to the forest to live a secluded life with a human.)

Meloetta? Naoki was slightly startled, was it the Meloetta he knew?

If he remembered correctly, while Team Plasma was operating in the Unova region, Team Rocket's Sakaki was also acting secretly in the Unova region.

He formulated the "Tempest Plan" and wanted to obtain the manifestation mirror through Meloetta to control the three cloud gods in the Unova area.

Unexpectedly, I was stopped by the Heroes Expedition Team...

Sakaki would probably be pissed to death, but what made Naoki even more curious was what kind of expression he would show when he saw a living Mew.

Because the Rockets are related to fantasy in some ways.

Sakaki's mother, the first founder of Team Rocket, accidentally learned that Mew was real, and sent Musashi's mother Miyamoto to find it.

However, during the mission, Miyamoto encountered a blizzard and never came back. The year she died during the mission, Musashi was only five years old.

It was at that opportunity that Team Rocket got the dreamy eyelash fossil. After Sakaki took over from Team Rocket, he began to implement the cloning plan and created the "strongest Pokémon" Mewtwo.

"Meng Meng, have those bad guys seen you?" Naoki asked from a distance.

"miu?" Mengmeng shook his head: "miu!"

It was transformed into a gargoyle, and when the bad guys tried to attack it, it transformed into Groudon.

Then those bad guys were scared away by it!

Naoki: "..."

That's okay.

Qishu was confused when he heard this: "Bad guy? Has Huanmeng met a bad guy?"

"Miu!" Meng Meng nodded repeatedly, he is a bad guy who specializes in catching Pokémon!

Naoki explained: "If I guess correctly, the bad guys Mew mentioned should be Team Rocket."

"Team Rocket?"

"Well, they are an evil force active in the Kanto and Johto areas. They are very large in scale. I heard that they have infiltrated into the Kanto Alliance and Johto Alliance." Naoki said.

After hearing this, Qishu immediately exclaimed: "No way? Even the alliance has been infiltrated?"

"There is no way. In the early years when the alliance was just established, the situation was still unstable. It was quite chaotic at that time! Some organizations that captured Pokémon for profit came into being, and they have continued to this day." Naoki said.

So far, the Pokémon Leagues in various places have only been established for a little over two hundred years, but Team Rocket obviously existed sixty or seventy years ago.

"Then our Padiya Alliance shouldn't be infiltrated, right?" Qishu was very worried.

Naoki smiled and comforted: "Of course not. According to my previous travel experience, the security of the Padian League is one of the best in all regions, and Kandu is so far away from us. It would be very difficult for the Rockets to infiltrate." Difficult.”

What's more, there is a chief champion like Ye Ci above.

In terms of professionalism among major league champions, Ye Ci is ranked second, and no one dares to be ranked first.

She would never allow that to happen.

And even if the Rockets infiltrate, I'm afraid Yeci will be sent out to work the next day, one person will serve as several people, and then become the second Aoki.

"That's good." Qishu breathed a long sigh of relief.

Naoki looked at Raikou lying on the soft carpet not far away, and asked casually:

"Thunder Lord, thank you very much for your help during this time. The work at the gym has ended. What are your plans in the future?"

When the baby is born in March next year, Qishu's body recovers and the gym resumes operations, he will no longer be needed as a substitute.

Of course, everything depends on Qishu’s body.

After hearing this, Lei Gong stood up silently and replied: "Everything must be obeyed by Lord Feng Wang's order."

The past ten months of getting along have slightly changed its attitude towards humans.

It turns out that not all humans are like that. There are still humans in this world who love Pokémon so much and treat every Pokémon with care.

Is Naoki going to drive it away? Lei Gong thought silently, and he felt a little reluctant in his heart.

Ho-Oh? Ho-Oh hasn't communicated with him for a long time, but in winter, Ho-Oh should also be nesting on the World Tree, right?

Suicune and Entei are probably there too.

Thinking of this, Naoki invited: "In that case, then you can stay in the ranch to celebrate the New Year this year! Everyone is here! It will be very lively then!"

"Thank you very much." Lei Gong breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone seemed very polite.

It turned out that Naoki didn't want to drive it away.

Last year, Baby Bear and Mew ran to the Mysterious Labyrinth and didn't celebrate the New Year with them. This year, they stayed with Victini.

Jirachi, Farfetch'd and Oliva are all here. This year's Pokémon for the New Year are more complete than ever before.

Naoki was very happy and bought several more barrels of fireworks, ready to have fun on the ranch.

The 202nd year of the Alliance Calendar came to an end in Naoki's expectation.

On New Year's Day, it was rare that there was no snow. Early in the morning, Naoki started to work in the kitchen.

Some Pokémon stayed with Naoki to help him, some Pokémon happily played hide-and-seek in the snow maze that Naoki built for them, and some Pokémon took out the blessing letters sent by the townspeople from the mailbox.

Some Pokémon on the World Tree also came to the ranch as guests.

Entei and Suicune, who were curious about the ranch, came to see the Rainbow Hero and observe the situation of Lei Gong living here.

Jigglypuff, who worked as a doctor on the tree, also returned home and shared his eggs with the Pokémon on the ranch.

Babu Tubo's parents also came here to reunite with him.

For a time, the whole ranch seemed very lively.

These Pokémon reminded Naoki of the New Year when he was a child. At that time, his parents were busy in the kitchen preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, while he and his friends were playing outside with firecrackers and fireworks.

Now it's his turn. He has become an adult, and the Pokémon have become children.

Thinking of this, Naoki was full of emotion.

Qishu sat on the sofa, stroking his belly, and watching the scene around him with a smile.

In order to make Qishu happy, after learning that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were also celebrating the New Year, Naoki secretly invited his parents to the ranch to celebrate the New Year together.

When Qishu saw his parents, he was stunned and looked at the scene in disbelief.

"Silly child, what are you staring at? Don't you recognize us?" Qishu's mother said with a smile.

Qishu reacted quickly. She looked back at Naoki and saw a familiar smile on his face.

At this moment, Qishu only felt that she was surrounded by great happiness. She went forward and hugged her mother, and shouted happily: "Mom."

"Hey, good child, go and rest for a while!" Qishu's mother helped her daughter sit on the sofa.

The father-in-law also looked at this scene with a gentle expression at this moment. He looked at his son-in-law and nodded with satisfaction.

He could see that their daughter was living very happily here.

Zhishu smiled and turned back to the kitchen to continue cooking. After a while, Qishu's mother also came to the kitchen to help cook, and the two prepared a large table of dishes together.

The family had a meal together. In the afternoon, Qishu's mother returned to Niangguang City with her husband after instructing her daughter.

After they left, Qishu turned and threw herself into Zhishu's arms: "Thank you."

Zhishu patted her back gently: "We are all family, what's the point of saying thank you or not."

"Ai Ai~" The sister Ai Guanshi beside him also nodded softly.

Qishu's face immediately bloomed with a bright smile: "I'm really happy to meet you!"

At this moment, Qishu suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, and then a hot stream flowed down her thighs, and she hissed.

"What's wrong?" Zhishu immediately noticed something was wrong.

Qishu lowered her head, looked at her legs, and said in a trembling voice: "The amniotic fluid broke, and the baby is about to be born!"

Hearing this, Zhishu felt a bang in his head.

He quickly kept calm, turned his head and looked around, and said to his sister Ai Guanshi: "Sister, help me take care of it, I'll go drive!"

"Ai ah!" Sister Ai Guanshi was also very nervous at this moment.

Zhishu quickly brought a blanket and put it on the passenger seat. He inserted the car key into the keyhole, quickly drove the car to Qishu's side, and then went down to carry Qishu into the car.

Sister Ai Guanshi was full of worry.

Naoki started the car and said to it, "Sister, help me take care of the house, don't worry, it's okay!"

"Aiya!" Sister Ai Guanshi nodded repeatedly.

After that, Naoki started the car quickly. Gulden, who followed him habitually not far away, seemed to have some feelings when he saw this scene. It seemed to have noticed something, and ran forward quickly on the snow, and jumped onto the back of the car a second before the car started.

The car had already started at this time. Naoki heard the movement and looked back, and saw Gulden looking over at the car.

"Gulden? Why are you following me? It's so cold outside!" Naoki asked.

However, the only response he received was "Ah gah".

Zhi Shu had no choice but to drive Gu Lerton out of the ranch, and by the way, he called his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, who had just left recently, to tell them that Qishu was about to give birth!

Soon, the car arrived at the hospital in Zhiqin Town.

After hearing that someone was about to give birth, the nurses on duty immediately pushed the pregnant woman into the operating room.

Before entering the operating room, Naoki held Qishu's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. Pokémon and I are by your side."

Qishu was already sweating. She held Naoki's hand tightly and nodded slightly. Then she was sent to the operating room by a little girl wearing a nurse's cap.

Naoki forced himself to calm down, so Luton stayed by his side and also turned his attention to the operating room.

After a while, Qishu's parents hurried over. After hearing the current situation, they waited anxiously outside with Naoki.

About an hour later, with a loud cry, the door of the operating room was opened, and a nurse came out holding a blanket and said to the waiting family members:

"Congratulations, it's a girl!"

Naoki stood up immediately. When he saw the child for the first time, he was stunned.

Is this child...his child?

He became a father...

An unprecedented strange feeling rose from the bottom of Naoki's heart. He quickly reacted, raised his head and asked:

"Where's my wife?"

"Don't worry, the mother is also healthy. She is inside. Do you want to see her?" the nurse asked.

Naoki nodded and said: "Mom and Dad, you look at the baby first, and I'll go and see Qishu!"

"good!"

The couple quickly took the baby from the nurse's hands, feeling equally excited.

They are going to be grandparents!

Naoki quickly walked into the operating room and saw Qishu lying there. He quickly checked Qishu's condition and saw that she was just a little pale, but nothing else was wrong, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"How does it feel?"

Qishu had just given birth and didn't have much strength now. She gently held Naoki's hand and said in a very soft voice: "Where is the baby?"

"My parents are here too. The baby is with them. Don't worry. The baby is healthy. She is a girl. We will call her Xiaoshu from now on."

The couple had already thought of this name a long time ago.

If it's a girl, call him Xiaoshu, if it's a boy, call him Yushu.

Qishu slowly closed her eyes, then opened them again. She felt relieved and said in a very soft voice: "I'm so sleepy..."

"Then let's sleep for a while, my parents are here too." Naoki said softly.

After hearing this, Qishu fell asleep peacefully.

The doll almost pushed her to the ward, and Naoki followed.

Qishu’s parents and Gu Lerton also came here.

Only then did Naoki look at the child in his arms seriously. With excitement, he reached out and gently touched her little hand.

"Ah gah?"

"Guluton, you can also touch her. Her name is Xiaoshu and she is our child." Naoki said to her.

Guluton's golden pupils revealed an unprecedented tenderness. He stretched out his paws very gently and touched the baby's little hand.

At this moment, Gu Lerton said to the child in front of him in his heart:

"Ah gah." (Little master, I'm back.)
