Not a trainer this time

That afternoon, Naoki and Kishu started packing their luggage.

Kishu was full of longing for the Alola region full of southern style: "Wow, I have never been to the Alola region!"

While packing Xiaoshu's clothes and Pokémon's toys, she excitedly said: "Golden beach, beautiful sea, Kishu is coming!"

Naoki laughed and said: "Is it so new? Can't we see beaches and sea in Niangguang City?"

"It feels different!" Kishu's eyes lit up: "I heard that Alola is a region composed of several islands, and there are many local Pokémon everywhere on the beach!"

"Ai ah~"

Sister Ai Guanshi also looked longing.

By the way, it and its brother have never seen the sea since they were born!

Although there is also a sea in Ziqin Town, it can only be called a small beach. Whether it is scale or anything else, it is far inferior to those special seasides.

During the days when he ran the Pokémon Tavern, he often heard the Pokémon guests talking about the beauty and magnificence of the sea.

For this reason, his sister Ai Butler secretly asked him to help search for videos related to the sea through Rotom's mobile phone.

And now, they finally have the opportunity to see it with their own eyes!

"Hehe, see? My sister is looking forward to it as much as I am!" Qi Shu said with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Zhishu also showed a smile on his face. It turned out that his decision was correct to make the Pokémon happy.

Other Pokémon in the ranch were also looking forward to this trip.

Especially Motor Lizard, after hearing that the temperature there was very warm and Pokémon could run among the flowers even in the cold winter, it began to fantasize about life in the Alola region since last night.

The second happiest ones were the mount goats.

In the winter in the Padiya region, the vegetation on the ground will dry up and will not grow again until the next spring.

In the Alola region, fertile and tender green grass grows all year round, so there is no need to worry about not being able to eat fresh grass.

Not to mention Braided Sheep, Milcan, Butterfree, Tribeca, and Psyduck.

The only one who was a little unhappy was Snowbring.

When Naoki fed it, he heard the horse snorting a few times in dissatisfaction.

As an ice-attribute Pokémon, it finally waited for winter and returned to its own ice and snow kingdom, but Naoki wanted to take it to a place without ice and snow.

This made Snowbring very angry.

"Ice hiss!"

Naoki: "..."

"Don't want to go to the Alola region?" Naoki couldn't help asking.

Snowbring snorted again, indicating that it was right.

"It's not impossible." Naoki said, "But in that case, you will be the only Pokémon left in the ranch!"

At that time, even Gravedog, Magmaworm, and Snorlax will move with them.

As for the hens, Naoki sent them to the chicken coop on the World Tree and handed them over to Babu Tubo's parents to help take care of them.

"Ice Hiss!" Snowborg was eager for this. It thought that it would be quieter this way, and it would be the only Pokémon left in the ranch.

It was Snowborg, the "king" who ruled the entire ranch.

"Well then." Naoki thought about it, and finally respected Snowborg's idea: "If that's the case, I just happen to have another favor to ask of you."

Snowborg looked at him: "Ice Hiss?"

Naoki: "If we're not here, the ranch will be left to you to take care of. If there are wild Pokémon that need help and break in, you can share the food in the warehouse with them. If there are Pokémon that come to destroy the facilities in the ranch or steal things, I also ask you to help stop them."

"Ice Hiss!" No problem!

Snowborg agreed on the spot.

As the king of the ranch, it will of course guard its territory.

Naoki: "..."

In this way, Naoki finalized the candidates for the Alola region.

Except for Snowborg, all the staff in the ranch will go together!

All day today, Naoki and the Pokémon packed their luggage in the ranch.

On the second day, Naoki began to deal with the things left over from this year in the Padiya region.

For example, the winter vacation issue of Blueberry Academy.

The schools in the Pokémon world also have various holidays, including summer vacation and winter vacation, just like his previous life.

Today is Naoki's last class for the children at Blueberry Academy. After the class, the students of the academy also ushered in the winter vacation.

Early in the morning, Naoki went to Blueberry Academy.

In the last class, Naoki did not teach the children any courses, but talked to them about their future dreams.

In the classroom, Naoki stood on the podium, looking at the young and bright faces below, and said with a smile:

"Today is my last class for everyone-"

A group of students suddenly opened their eyes wide, and then showed reluctance.

"Ah?"

"Of course, only this year." Naoki added.

Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"We won't have class this time. I'm going to talk to you about dreams. I know that everyone here is a trainer, but life in the academy is not everything in your life. I want to ask, do you have any dreams in the future?" Naoki asked with a smile.

Dream...

The students in their seats were stunned.

But soon, one student raised his hand excitedly.

"Kazumi-san, please speak!" Naoki motioned the girl to stand up.

Hemi's eyes were fiery: "I want to become the most powerful Pokémon trainer in the world!"

"It's a very good dream!" Naoki nodded: "But in that case, we must first select a region to collect eight gym badges, participate in the alliance competition and win the championship, and then challenge the Four Heavenly Kings, defeat the local champion, and participate in the World Championships and It’s been a long journey for the Eighth Master to win the championship!”

"I will work hard!" Hemei was full of fighting spirit.

Someone started, and others rushed to raise their hands and tell the class about their dreams.

Some people want to be the most powerful trainer in the world, some want to be a breeder, and some want to be a coordinated trainer like Mikri and participate in the gorgeous competition.

There are even people who want to become a rancher like him, run a ranch with Pokémon, and live a peaceful life there together.

Looking at the faces full of expectations for the future, Naoki nodded gently: "Everyone, let's work hard together!"

At noon, Zhi Shu rode Gu Ledun back to the ranch.

Things at Blueberry Academy are over, and now it's Kuailong Express's turn to take a vacation.

When the last working dragon flew back from outside, Zhi Shu hung a sign on the shop that was temporarily closed, and then said to a large group of dragons resting in the pasture:

"Everyone, this is the end of the year. The weather will cool down later. It will snow outside, the river will freeze, and it will become very cold."

"So before next spring comes, let's all have a good rest on Dragon Island!"

The temperature inside the World Tree is constant, especially the layer where Kuailong Island is located. Even in the coldest season, it is always warm as spring.

For migrant workers, it is the best place to spend the winter.

The migrant workers looked at Naoki eagerly.

Some are happy, some are looking forward to it, and some are sad.

Naoki: "..."

Those fast dragons must be sad because they can't work, right...?

Zhi Shu's eyelids twitched. He asked the dragons to wait here for a moment, then turned around and took out the Baofen+Energy Cube combo set that he had prepared early.

"Ouch!"

The moment Naoki came out, the eyes of all the migrant workers suddenly lit up.

"I knew you were waiting for this." Naoki couldn't help laughing and said: "I stayed up late these days to make this for you! It took several days to complete, and each bag was filled with energy cubes and poffins, which is enough for you. Been eating it for a long time.”

These bags are space backpacks with very large storage space and can hold many items. Naoki made some by himself and ordered a large number of Baofen from the shopping app.

These are the "year-end bonuses" he specially prepared for the fast dragons. Each fast dragon can receive a space backpack.

Sure enough, just as he expected, the dragons were all very happy when they saw these energy cubes.

Some outgoing Kuailongs even ran over and hugged him.

Zhi Shu was surrounded by a group of Kuailongs and almost couldn't breathe. He said quickly: "Okay, okay, you have worked hard for such a long time. Let's go back to Kuailong Island to spend the winter with these delicious food!"

"Ouch~"

The Kuailongs then let go of their hands, stood on the grass and waved goodbye to Naoki, and then turned around and flew towards the World Tree.

For them, being able to work in Zhishu Ranch is simply the happiest thing in the world.

You only need to fly a few times a day to get a large bag of energy cubes. More importantly, Zhi Shu often gives them holidays. So many fast dragons work alternately. After careful calculation, each fast dragon only has a few working hours per day. hours.

Not to mention that some fast dragons were lazy occasionally, and Zhi Shu never blamed them.

Sometimes the dragons will encounter Pokémon from other courier companies on the road.

For example, long-winged gulls, large-billed gulls, and bibills will also gather together to chat.

Those Pokémon who had to work long hours every day and even deliver goods in winter expressed their envy after hearing about the treatment of the dragons.

Some large-billed gulls even asked about the location of their Zhishu Ranch, and seemed to be planning to come here to apply for jobs.

It's just that they haven't reached the pasture yet, and they don't know if they are lost or what.

After all, they don't have Rotom phones, and it's possible to get lost in the vast sea.

Not only Kuailongs, but also netizens from various regions have a lot to say about the business hours of Shujia store.

However, their feelings are completely opposite to those of Kuailong.

They can accept that the store opens at eight in the morning and closes at five in the afternoon, but why does the entire store have to close for three months every winter?

Netizens were trembling with anger at the thought of not being able to buy fresh milk and vegetables from the Zhishu Ranch store for three months.

This is especially true for some netizens who want to see cute dragons every day, because seeing such cute Pokémon every day will make people feel better.

But now, Kuailong Express has been closed for three months!

In order to be able to buy things from Zhishu Ranch and to see the cute dragons every day, netizens have published petitions on the Internet.

They called on Shu's House not to close for so long, and it would be best if it could be open every day!

Some supporters even ran to Qishu's live broadcast room, wanting her to persuade Naoki.

When Naoki learned about this, it was already evening.

He thought about it, and then posted an announcement in the ranch store.

[Shopkeeper: Thank you very much for the support of all netizens, but Dragonites also have their own lives. In such a cold season in winter, they have to risk delivering goods in a blizzard. How pitiful! You know, the ice attribute still has restraint on Dragonites. I feel heartbroken when I think of Dragonites delivering goods in the severe cold, so in order to let Dragonite deliverymen get a good rest, this store will stop operating in winter. ]

Seeing this, some netizens who like Pokémon like Dragonite immediately empathized with Dragonite and expressed their understanding of Naoki's behavior.

But this announcement is not over yet.

Everyone looked down.

[However, our store has a good news to announce. Starting from next spring, our store will officially open three routes in Kalos, Alola, and Galar. Please look forward to it! ]

As soon as this was said, netizens in these three regions cheered.

In the end, only netizens in Kanto and Johto regions said that Naoki Ranch discriminated against them!

So many regions have opened routes, why not open their routes!

In this regard, Naoki has not spoken yet, and netizens in other regions can't sit still.

[Don't you know why it is not unlocked? ]

[I am from Kalos. Recently, I also saw two people with a meowth calling themselves Team Rocket, snatching a boy's Pikachu! It's terrible. It's so open and aboveboard here. I can't imagine what it will be like in your Kanto region. ]

Kanto people: "..."

Sakaki: "..."

If this continues, these people may join forces to launch a petition and ask the Kanto Alliance to thoroughly investigate Team Rocket.

But Team Rocket is currently in the critical stage of transforming into a large listed company...

Since the failure of the Storm Plan, he has been acting more and more low-key. If he continues like this, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among those guys, and then send out annoying investigators to investigate.

After a little thought, Sakaki gave instructions to Mana.

"Tell them to restrain themselves. There is no need to capture some weak Pokémon. In addition, let them capture rare and powerful Pokémon from the wild as much as possible, and stop snatching them from trainers."

Mana: "Yes!"

*

The next morning, after dealing with all the chores in the ranch, Naoki hugged Xiaoshu and the family prepared to set off for the Alola region.

Before leaving, Naoki found Snowpike and said to it:

"Snowpike, I'll ask you to take care of the ranch for a while! We'll be back in about three months."

Snowpike snorted excitedly. When he thought that it would be the only Pokémon left in the ranch, and it could become the unique horse king here, Snowpike was very happy.

"Ice radish!"

"I have planted a lot of ice radishes in the field, and I also asked the mount goats to ripen a large number of ice radishes in the warehouse yesterday. It's enough for you to eat during this period. If it's not enough, remember to contact us with Rotom's mobile phone, and I will come to replant it for you." Naoki said.

"Ice radish!" Snowpike still nodded.

Seeing this scene, Naoki smiled and turned to leave the ranch, going to Alola for the winter.

Except for Gulton, all other Pokémon in the ranch have been put into Poké Balls. So many Pokémon, it takes a full space backpack to hold them.

This time, Naoki didn't plan to ride Gulton from the reverse world.

That would be too fast, and it might be a bit unbearable for Xiaoshu.

To be safe, the family of three finally chose to take a more comfortable and fast plane.

Naoki booked several first-class tickets a few days in advance. There was a private room there, which was enough for the family of three and Gulton to rest.

The distance between the Padiya region and the Alola region is not too far. If you take a plane, you can arrive in about three hours.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the family of three boarded the plane with Gulton.

Qishu looked through the window at the land below, which was getting farther and farther away. Gradually, the land was left behind, replaced by a sparkling blue ocean.

Above his head was the clear blue sky, and several long-winged gulls flapped their wings and were overtaken by the plane.

Qishu looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window excitedly and cheered:

"Alola, here we come!"
