Not a trainer this time

On November 15, 203 of the League Calendar, a month had passed since Naoki and his family moved to the Padiya region for vacation.

As time passed, the family gradually adapted to life in the Alola region, where the climate is warm, the scenery is beautiful, and it is like spring all year round.

For Pokémon such as the goat and Miltank, it is also an excellent habitat, because here they can eat fresh and lush grass all year round.

On a sunny morning, looking at the Miltanks leisurely eating grass in the pasture, Naoki began to consider whether he should move to the Alola region to settle down.

But soon, this idea was rejected by him.

Because this is a bit too monotonous, whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, it has its own beauty.

The four seasons in the town of Ziqin are very distinctive.

In spring, the snow begins to melt, everything revives, and tender seedlings can be seen everywhere emerging from the earth.

Although it is hot in summer, every night, a group of fireflies always gather by the lake. Eating watermelon and popsicles, sitting by the firefly lake in the summer night to cool off is also a great fun in life.

In autumn, the maple leaves all over the mountains will turn yellow, and all kinds of wild vegetables will grow in the back mountains, and hazel mushrooms can be seen everywhere.

Not to mention the winter, making snowmen and playing snowball fights with Pokémon in the snow.

All these things can't be experienced in the Alola region.

Naoki gave up the idea of ​​moving. He wiped his dusty hands, returned to the kitchen, and made a Padiya seafood rice with the seafood bought from Ohana Town.

Seeing this scene, Qishu was very confused: "Didn't you have breakfast not long ago?"

Naoki smiled and deliberately said: "Keep it secret!"

Qishu: "..."

He put the processed ingredients into the pot to cook, and after a while, a very strong fragrance wafted out of it.

It was an extremely fresh seafood aroma, mixed with the scent of rice, which smelled very special and full of Padiya characteristics.

Smelling the smell in the air, Qishu moved his nose: "What a nice smell!"

Naoki lifted the lid of the pot, and when he cast his eyes on the food in the pot, the detailed information of this dish immediately emerged from his mind.

[Padiya Seafood Rice (B): A delicacy made with shrimp and mussels with heads. The rice fully absorbs the seafood soup, and it is full of the grace of the sea. It is a delicacy full of Padiya characteristics.

Cooking effect: The grace of the sea. After humans eat it, the probability of catching rare fish when fishing is greatly increased; after Pokémon eat it, they will receive the grace of the sea, which greatly improves the effect of special training in the sea, and lasts for 3 hours.

Evaluation: Padiya Seafood Rice, a special delicacy full of the grace of the sea! ]

This is a delicacy he made a long time ago, using it to help the Haxorus evolve into Dragonite.

Naoki took a look and asked, "Do you want to try it?"

"No, I ate a lot this morning!" Qishu refused.

"Okay!" Seeing this, Naoki took the seafood rice mixed with soup from the pot, and then poured it into the lunch box, ready to pack it up and take it away.

He put the lunch box into the backpack, and then picked up the fishing rod and fish bucket from the utility room, and said to Qishu, "I'm going out!"

Qishu finally saw Naoki's plan.

He wanted to go fishing!

But then again, is fishing a common hobby for men?

No wonder when she was live streaming before, there were married wives complaining that their husbands went fishing every day and often did not come home at night.

Fortunately, Naoki was not like them.

As a wife, as long as he did not ignore his family and Pokémon because of fishing, Qishu fully supported his hobbies.

"Go, go!"

Naoki smiled, and then cast his eyes on Xiaoshu who was sitting on the carpet playing with building blocks with the Burning Bug, and said to her: "Dad is out, you have to listen to Mom at home, understand?"

Xiaoshu was attracted by the fun building blocks, so he waved his little hand perfunctorily, as if to say "Go, go!"

It was rare that Xiaoshu didn't stick to him today, so Naoki took this opportunity to pick up the fishing rod and the fish bucket and turned to leave the ranch.

The rest of the Pokémon were playing in the ranch, and Naoki didn't disturb them. He called Gulerton and flew to the border bay of Akala Island.

He chose a sea area with fish shadows flashing below, took out the folding stool from his backpack and put it away, then strung the bait, set up the fishing rod, ate the Padiya seafood rice that could greatly increase the chance of catching rare fish, and then began to concentrate on fishing.

Gulerton was lying on the side, bored, looking at the endless sea and blue sky and yawning.

The sky of Alola is always so blue, and the breeze blows, and the sea is rippling with blue waves.

Looking at this dreamlike beauty, Naoki couldn't help but let his mind go.

And at this moment, the fishing rod in his hand suddenly shook violently.

Naoki immediately came to his senses, a fish was hooked!

He pulled the rod hard, and accompanied by a parabolic splash, a small blue figure biting the fishhook was caught on the shore.

That was...!

The moment he saw the petite Pokémon, Naoki's eyes lit up.

A small body, a white mouth, a pink bulbous nose, and a light blue collar around its neck.

That is... the Alola region's water-attributed Pokémon, the Pokemon!

A good start!

As expected of Padiya Seafood Rice, I caught such a Pokémon for the first time.

The Pokemon on the hook kept struggling.

Naoki quickly stepped forward and took the hook out of its mouth with his hands, and then greeted it with a smile.

"Hello! Pokemon!"

As the Alola region's water-attributed Pokémon, the Pokemon is not only very docile, but also very hardworking.

It is for this reason that it is chosen to be handed over to those new trainers who are ten years old to become their first Pokémon partner.

Like other Pokémon of the three major Pokémon, the Pokemon also has a good upper limit.

The second-stage evolved Flower Sea Lion is already quite powerful. In battle, it will disrupt the opponent by dancing to avoid the enemy's attack, and will also make powerful water balloons one by one and throw them at the enemy, causing considerable damage to the opponent in this way.

After the third stage of evolution, the Western Sea Lion can even combine sound waves with the power of water to defeat the opponent with an elegant posture.

"Ball!"

The Ball Sea Lion glanced at the human, then turned his head, slapped his tail, and jumped back into the sea.

Seeing the Ball Sea Lion run away, Naoki was not discouraged. After all, he is no longer one of those young children who want to catch new Pokémon when he sees them.

After re-installing the bait, Naoki continued to fish happily.

His target this time is the legendary sea god Kyogre.

As long as he keeps fishing here, maybe with his super high luck, he can catch the Kyogre that Water Lotus caught.

Soon, the fishing rod began to shake violently again.

Another fish is hooked!

Naoki concentrated and pulled back the rod with all his strength.

With a "splash", a large amount of water splashed out. In the water, the body of a petite blue Pokémon fell accurately on the reef under Naoki's feet like a parabola.

That was... a ball sea lion?

Naoki was confused. What happened? Another ball sea lion?

Could it be that this sea area is the nest of ball sea lions? Now is the time when ball sea lions appear in large numbers?

But soon, he found something wrong.

This ball sea lion is the ball sea lion he just caught!

Naoki's eyebrows jumped, and he reached out to rescue the ball sea lion and said to it:

"... This is not the place you should come to, leave here quickly!"

"Ball~"

The ball sea lion showed a naughty smile on its face, and then, like just now, it slapped its tail and jumped into the sea nimbly.

Seeing this scene, Naoki suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

He re-installed the bait and continued fishing.

Two minutes later, the fishing rod shook violently again.

Naoki pulled the rod hard, and when the "fish" was hooked, Naoki's eyelids jumped wildly.

It was the same ball sea lion again!

Naoki pretended to be very angry: "Hey! Don't come over again!"

Who would have thought that the ball sea lion saw through it, not only was it not afraid, but it also called "ball" twice.

Naoki: "..."

He took a deep breath, and then put his right hand into his pocket: "It seems that you and I are very predestined. In this case, then you can go home with me!"

As he said, Naoki took out an empty Poké Ball from his pocket.

This Poké Ball was originally used by him to capture the Kyogre that might come from another world, if he could meet that little Kyogre.

When the ball sea lion saw the Poké Ball, it immediately turned around and jumped into the sea.

It seemed that it didn't want to be caught.

"Huh, now you are scared, right?" Naoki said to the sea: "Don't come and disturb me fishing!"

After that, the water surface became quiet.

Naoki then began to concentrate on fishing.

After a while, a circle of ripples appeared on the water surface again.

Naoki immediately became very alert.

Just when he thought another fish was hooked, the next second, a round blue head emerged from the water surface.

Naoki was slightly startled.

The ball sea lion swam out of the sea water with a small fish in its mouth.

It put the fish in front of Naoki, and then jumped into the sea with a proud face.

That expression seemed to say, "Isn't it just eating a few of your baits? I'll give the fish back to you."

The figure of the ball sea lion quickly disappeared above the sea surface.

After a short moment of stunned, Naoki looked at the small fish on the reef and couldn't help laughing.

This ball sea lion is quite interesting, and people can't help but want to feed it.

It's a pity that he didn't bring any treasures or energy cubes this time.

Thinking of this, Naoki shouted to the water: "Ball Sea Lion, I will come here to fish at this time tomorrow. Remember to come here when the time comes. I have something to give you!"

After that, there was no movement on the sea surface, and it was unknown whether the ball sea lion heard it.

For a period of time afterwards, the ball sea lion really did not come to disturb him fishing again.

But I don’t know if it’s because there are relatively few fish species living in this sea area. Even after eating Padya paella, there weren’t many rare fish caught.

In three hours, Zhi Shu caught a total of three Slowpoke, five giant clams, an agate jellyfish, two fluorescent fish and two fist sea cucumbers.

Eventually, the agate jellyfish escaped from the bucket.

The three Slowpoke were dumbfounded. After being caught, they lay motionless on the rocks and basked in the sun, as if they hadn't reacted yet.

Naoki wanted to put them aside and continue fishing, but after a while, their tails were unfortunately bitten by the giant tongue clam, and they all evolved into sloth beasts.

The remaining two clams quietly observed the situation outside through the cracks in the shells. When Naoki looked over, they immediately clamped the shells together.

Naoki: "..."

The sea cucumber stayed leisurely at the bottom of the bucket, slowly blowing bubbles from its mouth.

The fluorescent fish emit faint fluorescence. They swim gently in the bucket and look contented.

Naoki tried to release them, but the Pokémon didn't leave on their own.

Seeing this, Naoki said to them: "It seems that you are destined to me. If so, then come back with me!"

Slowshell beasts, fist sea cucumbers, and fluorescent fish all have very docile and leisurely temperaments.

If you bring it back to the ranch, it can be placed on the level where Kuailong Island is located to enrich the ecology.

There is plenty of food there, so these Pokémon don’t have to worry about finding food.

The effect of the Padian paella had expired. Zhi Shu picked up the fish bucket, took a few slugs and clams with him, and then rode Gulton back to the ranch.

When they landed in the pasture, Naoki saw Qishu entertaining guests.

Seeing Guledun landing, Qishu smiled and pointed over there and said, "Huh? They are back!"

Xiaozhi and others turned to look at Gulton and greeted excitedly: "Mr. Naoki!"

Naoki's eyes swept over them.

Xiaozhi, Kaqi, Lillie, Mao, Suiren, Mamane...

"Xiaozhi?" Naoki was a little surprised.

Ash nodded vigorously: "Yeah! We agreed to come to visit before, and the Pokémon school is closed today, so I brought everyone here to visit. They are all friends I made in the Alola region!"

"I have already seen it." Naoki put the fish bucket away and asked with a smile: "Where is Miss Hanako?"

Xiaozhi replied: "Mom, she has returned to Zhenxin Town. Next, I plan to stay here with Pikachu!"

"I see." Naoki nodded.

"Hello, Mr. Naoki! We are Xiaozhi's classmates and are currently attending Pokémon school!" The other people also greeted each other and introduced themselves.

Naoki smiled and said, "Welcome!"

Soon, Kachi and the others were attracted by the Pokémon he brought back.

"Wow! It's Slowpoke and Squidward!"

"It's a fluorescent fish and a sea cucumber, so beautiful!"

Naoki looked at the Pokémon in the fish bucket and said with a smile: "They are the Pokémon that I spent all morning catching!"

"Awesome!" Little Fatty Mamane's eyes lit up with a beam of admiration.

Outside the crowd, Lillie looked at the many Pokémon around her. Her body was extremely stiff, and her feet were as if they were filled with lead, unable to move, as if they were petrified.

So many Pokémon, and they're so close!

I regret so much... I should have known I would have worn protective clothing and come here!

At this moment, a group of chasing and fighting Ibrahimovic ran past her.

The tail of one of the Eevee unfortunately touched Lillie's calf.

Due to the relatively high temperature, Lillie only wore a short skirt today, and the Pokémon's fur and body temperature directly touched her skin.

Lillie only felt a moment of suffocation, and some chaotic and vague memories flashed through her mind. At this moment, Lillie's inner fear reached its extreme.

The next moment, she fainted on the spot.
