Not a trainer this time

At 11 a.m., the plane landed at Melemele Island Airport.

As soon as Naoki got off the plane with Xiaoshu in his arms, he felt warm all over.

As expected, the climate in the Alola region is like spring all year round. Fortunately, their family had made preparations early and changed their thick clothes on the plane.

"Let's go back to the ranch first! It's noon, and everyone should be hungry!" Qishu said.

"That's what I meant." Naoki nodded. The two did not stay in Haole City for long. They rode Gulton and flew towards Akala Island.

About ten minutes later, a rural town full of western style appeared in the field of vision ahead.

Qishu was very surprised: "This feeling is like the cowboy-filled western area in old movies!"

"Really?" Naoki smiled and said, "I felt the same way when I first came here. It feels completely different from the Padiya area! We're almost there!"

After passing through Ohana Town, they came to a very open plain in front of them.

Fertile grass grew on the plain, a small river meandered through it, and scattered pastures were scattered all over the plain. From the sky, you can see many Pokémon running on the grass.

"The front is where we will stay this winter!" Naoki pointed to an empty pasture in the distance and said to Qishu.

"It feels empty." Qishu couldn't help but said,

Naoki smiled slightly: "It will be lively soon."

Before Gulerton landed in the pasture, Naoki saw a black-skinned boy standing on the grass in the pasture and waving at them vigorously.

That was Kachi, who Naoki hired to help clean the pasture regularly.

Kachi seemed very happy. He waved and shouted loudly:

"Mr. Naoki!"

"Long time no see, Kachi, how are you doing recently?" Naoki asked with a smile after getting off Gulden.

"Well, I'm doing great. Next year, I'll go to Pokémon School!" Kachi said.

Next year... that's the year when Xiaozhi comes to travel in the Alola region.

By then, Ultra Beasts and the like will also start to appear everywhere in the Alola region.

Naoki's expression did not change, and he smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Seeing Kachi's eyes on Qishu and Xiaoshu, he introduced again: "This is my wife, Qishu."

"Hello, Miss Qishu!" Kachi greeted calmly.

Qishu also responded with a smile: "Hello, Kachi!"

"Ah, I almost forgot to deliver milk!" Kachi suddenly remembered that he still had things to do, and he hurriedly said goodbye to the two: "Mr. Naoki, I'm leaving first, and I'll come to visit you later when I have time!"

After that, Kachi jumped onto the back of Charizard beside him, waved to Naoki, and soon disappeared into the sky.

"It's Kachi!" Naoki looked at Kachi's back in the sky and couldn't help but sigh.

He shook his head helplessly, then took off the space backpack on his body and took out a Poké Ball from it.

"Everyone, come out!"

Accompanied by flashes of white light, the figures of Pokémon appeared on the grass.

Motor Lizard, Babu Groundhog, Frost Milk Fairy, Milky Can, Butterfree, Mount Goat, Salt Stone Giant, Dragonite, Three Bees, Love Butler Brothers and Sisters...

Qishu followed closely and released the electric belly frog from the Poké Ball.

Looking at the group of Pokémon in front of him, Naoki said to them like a head of the family: "We are here. This is where we have lived for a while. You should get familiar with the surrounding environment first, but don't run around. Now I am going to clean the house!"

The Pokémon looked around curiously.

The Ai Guanshi brother and sister happily said that they would also go over to help.

Housekeeping is what they are best at!

Naoki said with a smile: "Then I'll leave it to you!"

The brother and sister entered the house and started cleaning.

The rest of the Pokémon began to explore this new ranch.

After Naoki gave some instructions, he handed Xiaoshu over to the three holy beasts who followed him to take care of him, and then took Qishu to the room to organize things.

This time they didn't bring too many things, only some clothes and daily necessities.

But it was not until now that Naoki realized that there were a lot of things missing at home.

Like washing machines, pots and pans, various seasonings...

"There are so many things missing!" Qishu looked around and couldn't help saying.

"No choice, I can only go to the town to buy it in the afternoon." Naoki said.

It just so happens that I can buy some crop seeds.

The climate in the Alola region is warm, warm and humid all year round, and the rainfall is abundant. Because of this, some unique crops that are not found in the Padiya region grow here.

Like coconut trees, guava, mango, banana, pineapple, coffee beans, sugar cane.

Coffee beans can be used to make coffee, and sugar cane can be used to make sugar. These specialties of the Alola region are often sold to other places.

When Naoki walked out of the house, he saw that the group of Pokémon outside had found their favorite residences.

The big milk tanks gathered on the pasture to eat fresh and lush grass, the braided sheep and the mount goats went to the fence where the Mere sheep lived, and the spirit horse shook its tail and went to the stable where the mud donkey lived...

The rest of the Pokémon were also playing happily on the grass, looking very unhappy.

Seeing this scene, Naoki couldn't help but thought to himself: Sure enough, his idea of ​​moving here to spend the winter was quite right.

At noon, Naoki and his wife had a simple meal, and then fed the Pokémon some energy cubes and poffins that had been prepared in advance, and then let them stay in the pasture to play.

He and Qishu went to the town to buy daily necessities.

Although the town of Ohana is small, it sells a wide range of things.

Maybe it was because there were many ranches around, so Naoki easily bought items for ranching here.

Such as pitchforks, watering cans, saws, milking machines, milk barrels, crop seeds, etc.

But some other daily necessities are difficult to buy here.

The couple made a plan and went to Hauale City on Melemele Island next door.

It is the largest city in the Alola region. It is very lively with tourists coming and going from all over the place, and there must be a full range of things for sale.

After returning the purchased sundries to the ranch, the two immediately flew to Melemele Island on Guledun and Kuailong.

Hauale City is bustling with people coming and going, and it is full of tourists from all over the world.

Naoki did not stay here longer, but went straight to the department store in the city center and started shopping.

Things like washing machines, televisions, microwaves, pans, juicers, ovens, bedding.

Naoki even bought a set of matching garden chairs, which he specially reserved for King Lei Guan to use for afternoon tea.

Naoki walked in front, and the saleswoman followed behind to record.

In a department store of this level, you don’t have to worry about not being able to carry it with you. Their service is first-rate. As long as you pay a small fee, they will deliver your purchased goods safely to your home.

Naoki was not short of money, so he chose to entrust the delivery service neatly. The location was... the ranch on Akala Island.

"Okay, we will start packaging and delivering these items immediately." The saleswoman wrote down the address and politely arranged for the delivery staff.

After finishing everything, the time came to two o'clock in the afternoon unknowingly.

The two were walking on the street, and Qishu asked, "Do you want to go back?"

"Go to the beach!" Naoki said with a smile, "Aren't you always thinking about the authentic beaches in Alola?"

"Okay!" Qishu was very excited.

Hauale City is a real seaside city. Walking in the city, you can feel the sea breeze.

Walking in the direction of the wind, you can see a golden beach in a short while. Looking around, you can see a sparkling blue sea with endless horizon, and the clear blue sky above your head. Several chirping long-winged gulls flew from afar and stopped to rest on a tall coconut tree.

The warm sea breeze blows, and I have to say that the climate in Alola is really pleasant.

Looking at this scene, Qishu's eyes flashed with a strange look.

"It's so beautiful!" She suddenly noticed a beautiful sand castle on the beach and immediately exclaimed: "Wow! Who built that castle out of sand? It's so beautiful!"

Naoki glanced at it and said helplessly: "That's Lord Sand Devourer."

The sand-eating castle felt someone approaching, and immediately turned around and ran away.

"Hey, let's build a sandcastle too!" Qishu's eyes shone, as if he had regained his previous quirky nature.

Zhi Shu thought to himself that it was a child's game, and bringing Xiao Shu to play with him was just fine. But looking at Qi Shu's appearance, he did not speak about it, but said:

"Did you know? You look exactly the same now as when I first saw you, quirky and full of energy."

Qishu heard what he meant and said with a smile: "People always change! And my mother always told me to be more mature and sensible, so I started to try to be a gentle mother..."

"What's the result?" Naoki raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you feel?"

Qishu wanted to say it was great, but seeing Naoki's look, she immediately changed her words and said: "I'm so tired..."

Naoki was very helpless: "Actually, you don't have to change yourself. I like you no matter what you look like."

"Really?" Qishu's eyes lit up, as if he had come up with a good idea.

A bad feeling suddenly arose in Naoki's heart: "What do you want to do?"

Qishu chuckled, then leaned closer and whispered in his ear.

Naoki's face immediately turned red, he took a step back and said, "The Pokémon are still here!"

Qishu showed an odd smile. She looked at Gu Ledun, who was looking at him with a puzzled face, and invited with a smile:

"Guluton, let's build a sandcastle together!"

…

The couple didn't play on the beach for too long, mainly because there were a group of Pokémon and small trees waiting for them at home.

Therefore, after Qishu and Gulton built an ugly sandcastle, the two began to return to Akala Island.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Naoki returned to the ranch.

The items he purchased in the department store have been delivered to him by several strange forces.

After installing and debugging the home appliances, the workers turned around and left.

Naoki began to tidy up the bedding and mattresses at home. After making the bed, he went to place the set of garden chairs in a corner of the pasture.

Lei Guanwang floated aside, smiling at everything Naoki did for him.

"Okay, you can drink tea here from now on. We will stay here for three months and return to the ranch next spring." Naoki said.

The Bud Crown King nodded slightly: "I like it here very much."

Naoki smiled: "That's good!"

In the evening, Qishu prepared some simple dinners with the ingredients purchased from Ohana Town.

After dinner, the two settled the Pokémon in the ranch and went to bed early to rest.

They were busy cleaning up all day today, and the ranch finally looked a bit like home.

The next morning, the sun was shining and the weather was very good.

All the things that should be done have been done, and the next step is to enjoy life and spend this cold winter here.

However, Naoki, who has been a rancher, can't be idle at all.

After breakfast, he took out the crop seeds he bought in Ohana Town before, and prepared to reclaim the abandoned field and plant crops.

First, it would be a pity to leave it abandoned, and second, Naoki also wanted to grow some tropical fruits and vegetables for himself.

With these unfamiliar ingredients, maybe some magical dishes can be made to help a Pokémon in the ranch grow.

Naoki found the three-eared rat and asked it to help till the land.

"Squeak!"

The three-eared rat responded and then drilled into the soil. A bulge appeared on the ground, and then the bulge began to move quickly.

The originally hard and compact soil soon became soft under the power of the three-eared rat.

After the whole farmland was tilled, Naoki took out the seeds prepared in advance.

At this time, his sister Ai Guanshi used her superpowers to help Xiaoshu stand and "float" over here.

"Dad!"

Naoki turned around and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"

"Hold!" Xiaoshu blurted out a word.

"Dad is farming!" Although he said so, Naoki still held Xiaoshu in his arms, and then looked at his sister Ai Guanshi: "Leave it to me here, you go and have a rest!"

"Ai~"

Naoki put Xiaoshu on the ground and let her lean on his arms. While taking out the seeds, he asked: "Do you want to farm with Dad?"

Xiaoshu cheered: "Ah!"

Naoki: "..." This silly girl.

"Come, Dad will teach you how to farm."

Naoki held Xiaoshu's hand and guided her to take out a seed from the bag.

"First, dig a hole of suitable depth in the field, then throw the seeds in, and cover it with soil."

"Then, you have to ask your grass-type Pokémon to use the energy of grass to help cultivate and take care of the seeds buried in the ground."

Naoki looked at the goat and nodded at it.

One of the goats came forward, and the next second, a strong green light burst out from its body, and then poured madly into the place where Naoki had just buried the seeds.

Then, a magical scene happened.

A tender seedling suddenly broke out of the soil.

"Look, the seeds have sprouted!" Naoki said with a smile.

Xiaoshu looked at the seeds, and then suddenly began to clap happily.

"This is just the beginning!" Naoki continued: "Watch carefully, don't blink!"

As the grass energy of the goat continued to pour in, the seedling seemed to feel something and immediately began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its branches continued to extend and grow until it grew to a height of fifteen meters. Large leaves grew on the top of the tree, and a cluster of large and plump fruits hung in the leaves.

The coconut tree has grown!

"Wow!"

Xiaoshu was attracted by this scene. She looked up and seemed to be shocked by this magical sight.

Naoki smiled and pinched her little face: "Look, the tree has grown, isn't Pokémon powerful?"

At the same time, in a corner of Akala Island.

A Pokémon with a black upper body and dark pink tentacle-like hair, and half a pink shell on the lower body and the top of the head, seemed to feel something, and suddenly turned around and looked in a certain direction.

What it felt just now was... the breath of natural energy?

Such a rich natural energy!

That was a breath that Tapu Butterfly had never felt before.

What exactly happened?

Tapu Butterfly was puzzled.
