Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 465 Jirachi's Choice
Jirachi was slow to make a decision.

In the past, it had been sleeping in the crystal, and could only wake up for seven days every thousand years.

Because of this reason, Jirachi has never been anywhere since his birth.

During these two days, Menghuan and Baby Bear introduced many new things to it.

The chivalrous expedition team, the delicious Baofen, the lively world tree, the beautiful natural scenery...

Jirachi was very envious after hearing this. He was full of longing for that kind of life and wanted to experience it personally like the others.

but……

The land of Farnese cannot do without it. The Pokémon and every flower and plant there need its power.

Without it, all the flowers and grass there would wither, and the Pokémon living there would all starve and lose their homes.

Jirachi didn't want to see this happen.

Thinking of this, it had already made a decision in its heart.

Jirachi looked at Xiaoyao and answered firmly: "Jirachi will return to the land of Faenus to absorb the energy of the stars and help the Pokémon and nature of the land of Faenus!"

Hearing this, Xiaoyao opened his mouth.

"But then you won't be able to visit other places, right?"

However, Xiaozhi suddenly came up with a good idea.

"Then Jirachi just needs to return to the Fanes area when the Millennium Comet arrives and use the energy from the stars to nourish the flowers and plants there. At other times he can go out and play freely!" he said.

However, Jirachi shook his head and replied in a childish voice:
"No, [Nurturing] cannot be completed all at once. The earth cannot bear it. The energy must be slowly transferred from Jirachi's body to the earth."

After hearing this, Xiaozhi was at a loss.

For a moment, everyone was in a low mood.

Naoki looked at this scene. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw the Absol who was guarding Jirachi stood up silently and walked in front of Jirachi.

"Absol?" Jirachi stared at it in a daze.

Absol's voice was low: "Ouch." (It's okay, don't worry, everyone can take care of themselves, Jirachi can rest assured and do what you want to do.)
Jirachi was slightly stunned.

"Absol..."

Xiaozhi didn't understand what Absol said.

"What is Absol talking about?" Xiaoyao was puzzled.

Naoki didn't understand either, so he took out his Rotom phone, and the Rotom inside automatically translated Absol's words.

"Absol is letting Jirachi do what he likes..." Xiaozhi murmured.

But Jirachi has many concerns in his heart.

It is always worried about everyone in Farnes.

Every flower and every blade of grass there is nurtured by it itself.

After so many years, everyone has gotten used to it.

If it leaves suddenly...

"One."

"miu..."

Baby Bear and Dream also felt very sad.

Naoki looked at the Absol and thought that it was worthy of the name of Guardian.

In that case, he might as well lend them a helping hand.

Thinking of this, Naoki said: "I have a way to let Jirachi take care of the land of Faunus without absorbing the energy of the stars."

As soon as he said this, everyone and Pokémon around him looked at him.

Naoki asked them to wait here for a while, while he returned home and found the leaf given to him by the World Tree.

[Leaf of Life: The leaves of the World Tree have rich natural energy. Placing them somewhere can nourish the ecological environment of that place and make it rich and beautiful. 】

He returned to the group with the leaf.

Xiaozhi and the others immediately looked towards the huge leaf that was emitting a bright green light.

"That is……"

“It’s glowing!”

"One?" Baby Bear and Menghuan felt a familiar scent from the leaf.

"This is a treasure I found by chance a while ago. It can release natural energy, nourish the nearby land, and make the surrounding plants grow more luxuriantly."

"If we put it in Fansi, it can replace Jirachi's role. In this way, Jirachi can travel freely." Naoki said slowly.

"How amazing!" Xiaosheng said.

"If such a precious thing is gone, will it have any negative impact on your ranch, Mr. Naoki?" Xiaogang asked after thinking calmly for a moment.

Hearing this, Xiaozhi, Jirachi and the others also looked at Naoki.

Naoki smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, it won't happen. The land of this ranch is already very fertile. Moreover, I am a professional farmer. Even without this leaf, I can make the land fertile with my own strength."

For example, cultivating land, applying fertilizers, reasonable planting and so on.

As he spoke, he handed the Leaf of Life to Absol.

"Take it!"

Absol was shocked.

Jirachi looked at the leaf with a puzzled expression on his face. Like an innocent child, he expressed his doubts:

"Why would Naoki give Jirachi such a precious treasure?"

Naoki replied with a smile: "Because this way Jirachi won't have to sleep all the time." Jirachi was slightly startled. It felt a strong kindness from the human in front of it.

"Naoki..." Jirachi called softly.

"Hmm?" Naoki looked at it.

Jirachi happily flew into Naoki's arms, his tone full of gratitude: "Thank you, Naoki is the best!"

Naoki smiled.

He stroked Jirachi's soft body with his hands.

Xiaoyao, who was standing by, looked at this scene and couldn't help but sighed: "This is really great!"

Xiaozhi also nodded. He was sincerely happy for Jirachi: "Well, in this way, Jirachi will no longer have to worry about the Faunus region."

The summer night breeze blows slowly, and the stars in the night sky blink.

Everyone spent a pleasant night with Jirachi on the ranch.

The next morning, Xiaozhi and the others prepared to leave.

Because their journey in the Hoenn region has not yet ended, they still need to challenge gyms, collect badges, and then participate in the Saiyou Conference.

In addition, they also wanted to work with Jirachi to return the leaf to the Farnese region.

Naoki was not surprised to hear this.

Before leaving, Naoki brought the hyperactive monkey to Xiaozhi.

He looked at the animatronic monkey, then at Xiaozhi, and said to it:

"Thanks to you for calming the ape these past two days, this child likes you very much and is eager to live outside. But I can't leave the ranch. Can you take him to see the outside world?"

Hearing this, Xiaozhi was slightly stunned.

Xiao Gang understood what Naoki meant: "Does this hyperactive monkey want to become Xiaozhi's Pokémon?"

The hyperactive ape pounded his chest with his fist in excitement.

"I understand." Xiaozhi smiled and said, "In that case, the Pikachu will be you!"

A battle to conquer is about to begin!
Xiaogang and Xiaoyao stayed here to watch.

Jirachi floated in front of Naoki and asked, "Will Jirachi be able to see Naoki again in the future?"

"Of course, you can see me anytime you want." Naoki nodded slightly.

Jirachi's eyes lit up: "Great!"

It’s decided. Once the leaf is returned to Fanes, it will come to live on the World Tree with the Dreamy Bear cubs!
Naoki looked at the expedition team of heroes beside him, nodded at them, and praised them:
"Well done, you have completed this commission very well."

"One~"

"miu~"

Menghuan and Baby Bear immediately became embarrassed.

"And Zapdos, I've heard about your heroic performance in that battle. You're awesome!" Naoki praised.

Hearing this, a suspicious blush appeared on Zapdos' cheeks.

It turned its head proudly: "Chiu!"

At this time, Xiaozhi's battle has come to an end.

He put the Hyperactive Ape into the Poké Ball and said excitedly, "I have captured the Hyperactive Ape!"

"Well, goodbye, Xiaozhi." Naoki said to Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi nodded vigorously: "Well, goodbye, Mr. Naoki, one day in the future, Pikachu and I will definitely travel to the Padiya region, and then we will definitely challenge you and Guldon again!"

Naoki smiled and said, "I am looking forward to that day. Until then, I wish you a smooth journey."

"goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

Satoshi and his friends, who aim to become Pokémon Masters, left Naoki Ranch and continued their journey of collecting gym badges. What will be waiting for them in the future?

The figures of Xiaozhi and others gradually walked away.

In a bush, Musashi, Kojiro and Meowth were looking in that direction.

"The little brats have left!" Kojiro murmured.

"Then what should we do now, meow?" Meow Meow asked.

The owner of the shop where they worked yesterday saw the snacks coming back and realized that he had misunderstood them.

The boss not only relieved them of their jobs, but also gave them some money to help them return home after learning that their "boat" was destroyed and they were unfortunately stranded in this place to work.

"Nonsense, of course I'll continue to catch the Pikachu with the little devil!" Musashi said without hesitation.

Those Dragonites are not something they can deal with, and the guy who can have so many Dragonites deliver goods must be a big shot, not someone they can afford to provoke.

In comparison, the plan to capture Pikachu is easier.

More importantly, it would be bad if they provoke some untouchable guys for Team Rocket and Boss Sakaki.

In addition, Team Rocket currently has no plans to set foot in the Padia region, so they should go to the Hoenn region honestly to help Boss Sakaki investigate the Magma Team and Aqua Team there, and capture Pikachu by the way.

"In that case, what are you waiting for? Let's go now!"

Kojiro seemed to have seen the white tomorrow waiting for them.

Suddenly, there was a flash of white light, and a Pokémon ran out of the Poké Ball.

"Ss ...
