Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 466: Zygarde takes pictures of Pokémon and observes them secretly!
December 200, year 5 of the alliance calendar.

The Great Hero Expedition Team and Xiaozhi and his crew successfully returned to the Hoenn region.

Naoki, who was far away in Padya, received messages from Menghuan and Baby Bear.

It said that they had successfully delivered the leaf to the Fanes region and parted ways with Xiaozhi and the others.

Jirachi no longer needs to stay in the Fanes region to nourish the earth. It wants to see the outside world like those ordinary Pokémon.

Therefore, after saying goodbye to Absol and other Pokémon in the Faunus region, Jirachi chose to embark on the journey with the Great Hero Expedition Team.

Looking at the photo sent by Baby Bear on the phone screen, Naoki couldn't help but smile.

The background of the photo is the Farnese area, and when the photo was taken, it seemed that the Millennium Comet just passed over there.

Under the starry sky, Mew, Baby Bear, and Zapdos surrounded Jirachi.

They looked towards the camera with happy expressions on their faces.

"Ah, this is so nice!"

Naoki was very satisfied with this ending.

In this way, Jirachi would no longer have to endure that pitiful fate.

From now on, it can fly freely in the sky like most Pokémon in this world.

Naoki saved the photos on his mobile phone and planned to print them out for his collection.

Naoki did what he said. He ordered a machine specifically for printing photos online and sent a postman, Dragonite, to pick it up.

Thirty minutes later, Kuailong returned to the ranch with the machine.

Naoki imported the photo into it, and soon, the photo recording the story of the hero's expedition team and Jirachi was printed out.

"Ah gah?"

Seeing Naoki busying himself there, Gulerton leaned over with his big head, as if wanting to see what he was doing.

Naoki touched Gulden's head and answered it: "I'm printing photos."

"Ah gah!"

When Gu Leton saw the baby bears in the photos, he suddenly understood.

A new idea suddenly emerged in Naoki's mind.

——He wants to buy a camera and an album to take pictures of the Pokémon on the ranch and preserve their [present] well!
Although devices like the Rotom phone allow for more convenient storage, Naoki still feels that paper photos are more commemorative and nostalgic.

That afternoon, he went to the department store in Ziqin Town and bought a camera and a family photo album.

As soon as he returned to the ranch, Naoki called the Pokémon in the ranch and started taking pictures of them.

Babu, Frostmilk, Gulton, Motor Lizard, Dragonite, Butterfree, Three Bees, Milky Can, Three Diglett, Saltstone Giant, Snorlax, Eevee, Braided Sheep, Psyduck, Errachi, Saifu, Love Butler Brother and Sister, Flutter Hair...

Most of the Pokémon on the ranch were having a first-time experience with taking photos, so they were all very curious about Naoki's actions.

Butterfree flew to Naoki's side and looked curiously at the camera that was being adjusted: "Fu-yi?"

"Buy, buey!"

The Eevees also gathered around and pulled at Naoki's legs with their paw pads, indicating that they wanted to see it too.

Naoki squatted down and showed them the camera screen.

The camera lens was aimed at the Dragonite in front at this time. An Eevee accidentally touched a button. The next second, the picture on the screen began to enlarge, and Dragonite's big face appeared on the screen.

"Buyi!"

A cry of surprise came from the Eevees' mouths, it's Dragonite!
Naoki pointed the camera at his partner Ibrahimovic and pressed the shutter.

With a click, the face of partner Ibrahimovic was frozen on the screen.

"Bamo!"

When Babu Tubo saw Ibrahimovic's photo, he was very envious and wanted to take a photo too!

Other Pokémon want to play along, too.

Naoki understood what they meant and said to the Pokémon in front of him with a smile:

"Okay, now go play like you normally would. Don't worry about me. I'll follow you around and take the most natural photos."

Then, the Pokémons cooperated very well and started playing in the ranch as usual.

Naoki walked around them and kept pressing the shutter.

Ibrahimovic taking shelter in the shade.

The Peppa Pigs sit quietly in a row.

Dragonite flying in the sky.

Gu Leton's handsome look back.

Braided sheep basking in the sun on the grass.

Flame Eevee in front of the fireplace.

At night, the Pokémon returned to their nests.

Naoki took the opportunity to continue taking pictures of their sleeping faces.

Before I knew it, hundreds of photos were stored in my camera.

After the Pokémon in the house fell asleep, Naoki did not go to bed immediately. Instead, he sat at the desk, turned on the desk lamp, and put the printed photos into the album one by one under the moonlight outside the window.

In the darkness behind him, Gulden yawned lazily, looked up at Naoki's back, then lay down on the floor peacefully and slowly fell asleep.

After finishing the album, Naoki gently flipped through the photos of Pokémon on it.

Pokémon that play, Pokémon that stare blankly, Pokémon that fly...

Looking at these photos, Naoki felt soft inside.

Oh, Pokémon are so cute!

He put away the photo album, turned around and came to his partner Ibrahimovic who was sleeping soundly in the nest, bent down and kissed it.

Ibrahimovic was not awakened. Instead, he moved his body comfortably, turned upside down, and exposed his furry and soft belly.

This means that this Eevee is very relaxed at the moment and has great trust in its surroundings.

How cute! Naoki thought.

He smiled and lay back on the bed. He glanced at Gulden who was sleeping beside him and Babu Tubo who was sleeping at the foot of the bed, then closed his eyes, feeling relaxed.

What a happy day.

It's time to sleep!

*
The next morning, Naoki got up early and started a new day's work.

It is summer and the weather is very hot, which has greatly increased people's demand for watermelon.

Naoki receives a large number of watermelon orders every day.

Since Dragonair's delivery service is extremely fast, it usually only takes half an hour to deliver the goods to your door.

Customers who order from Naoki Ranch don't have to worry about the watermelons going bad on the way.

Early in the morning, the working Dragonites lined up, received watermelons one after another from Naoki, and then flew to various places in Padia with them.

"call!"

After seeing off the Dragonites and checking that there were no missed orders, Naoki breathed a sigh of relief.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the sun gradually became hotter and the wind blew towards us with rolling heat waves.

Naoki stood under the eaves and squinted his eyes at the distant mountain.

The weather was so hot that even the cicadas in the back mountain had stopped chirping. Looking out, one could see the Toyotomi Shrine surrounded by lush trees in the distance.

Compared to the real world, the temperature in the reverse world is normal and very cool. Therefore, Eevee, Uraraka, Sagittarius, Frostmilax, Butterfree and other Pokémon all went there to escape the heat.

The mount goat also went to the World Tree to teach the mount lamb.

Now only Naoki and Gulden are left on the ranch.

Just when Naoki was about to go back to the room to rest, Gulden, who was enjoying the cool breeze under the eaves, seemed to suddenly notice something, suddenly opened his eyes and looked in one direction.

"Ah gah?!"

The motorcycle lizard next to it also raised its head.

"Hmm?" Naoki turned to look at Gulerton and asked, "What's wrong?"

So Leton changed from a squatting position to a large golden-haired form on all fours.

It let out a "ah-ga-hi" sound, then suddenly rushed out, ran into a bush, and picked up a green, unknown creature that looked like a caterpillar with its mouth.

Gu Leton returned to Naoki with the creature in his mouth, opened his mouth, and placed it on the wooden floor.

When Naoki saw what the thing looked like clearly, he was stunned on the spot.

This is... Zygarde's cell? !
What's going on?! How did Zygarde's cells appear in the Padia region?
Naoki reached out and picked up the trembling "cell".

This group of cells seemed very scared. When it was picked up, it instinctively arched into Naoki's palm.

"Gaw?"

The Motorcycle Lizard tilted its head and looked at the unidentified creature with a puzzled look on its face. What was that thing?
Naoki saw what the motorcycle lizard was thinking and explained to it:

"It should be considered a Pokémon, right?"

Zygarde, the third god of the Kalos region, the famous God Z, is also the guardian of the ecosystem. He has been silently monitoring every move of the ecosystem.

In the anime, because the Kalos region is full of tree-shaped negative energy cores, this Z God also left behind Ash's Greninja to help "cut down trees."

Among all the legendary Pokémon, Zygarde is a very special one.

Because it can differentiate itself into the forms of "cores" and "cells" and spread them throughout nature.

If they encounter danger, these cells will begin to gather and transform into Zygarde to show their power.

The little squid that Yurika picked up in the anime is the core of Zygarde.

And the one that appeared on his ranch now was Cell.

Looking at the cells in his hand, Naoki suddenly had a bold guess in his mind.

Could it be that this cell was sent by Zygarde to act as a monitor?
As we all know, cells have no self-will and can only act according to the instructions of the core.

There is no Zygarde in the Padia region, and the appearance of the cell here is likely to be sent by Zygarde.

But Naoki was a little uncertain.

As the guardian of the ecosystem, it is not surprising that Zygarde appears anywhere. It supervises not only the ecosystem of the Kalos region, but the entire world is within its protection range.

"Gulton, have you seen this guy near the ranch before?" Naoki asked.

"Ah geez..."

Gulton shook his big head. He had seen it when he was still a motorcycle lizard, but he hadn't seen it since he became Gulton.

"I see." Naoki thought.

Could it be that this cell was attracted by the aura of the World Tree?

After all, if the world tree is born, it will be of great benefit to the entire ecosystem.

Whatever the possibility, Zygarde had no ill will towards them.

So after a brief thought, Naoki took the cell back home.

This thing can combine to form a Gundam!

Let’s collect them first. Maybe the World Tree will attract more Zygarde cells and cores in the future.

When the time comes, he will bring them all home and see if he can build a Gundam.

The Rape Crown King, who was playing with his phone in the living room with the air conditioner on, suddenly noticed a strange smell.

He raised his eyes and saw the green unknown creature in Naoki's palm.

The Bud Crown King was slightly stunned: "What is that?"

"It?" Naoki answered with a smile: "It's Xiaoruan."

"Xiaoruan?" The Rape Crown King looked surprised.

"I gave it a new name!" Naoki said as he took out some snacks that Pokémon liked from the cupboard and tried to feed it to Softy.

But this group of green cells did not eat. Instead, it instinctively moved into Naoki's palm, seeming very nervous.

Naoki was not surprised to see this scene.

Because Zygarde's cells do not have their own will, it may not need to eat like other Pokémon, and it only needs to absorb some natural energy or sunlight and water to survive.

He thought about it carefully, then placed Xiaoruan on the windowsill and placed a snack and a small dish of water next to it.

The cell lay there motionless, only blinking occasionally, as if observing this place.

I don’t know how long it took, but Xiaoruan seemed to have no energy left.

It then slowly crawled a short distance, came to the snack, opened its small mouth, and instinctively began to eat.

At the same time, in the Carlos area, in the End Cave.

Zygarde saw everything that happened to it through its own cells.

That human possesses a very strong natural energy. Was the aura before coming from him?
Zygarde was very confused. Could it be that the other party was a human chosen by the ecosystem?
And when it saw that the human actually named its cells "Little Soft", the entire Pokémon fell silent.

Small soft...

It is Zygarde, the guardian of order, how could it be called this name? !
"No, we don't know enough. We need to monitor for a while longer before we can draw any conclusions."

The green light in the Cave of the End gradually dimmed, and Zygarde continued to monitor the external ecosystem.

*
Hoenn region.

In a huge volcano, Daigo looked solemnly at the slender man opposite him who had red hair, wore a pair of black-framed glasses, and exuded a calm aura.

The fiery red magma flowed slowly, and on the ground around it lay many humans wearing Team Magma uniforms and Pokémon such as Coyote.

The scars on their bodies all represent how fierce a battle had just taken place here.

"Why do you want to stop me?" Chi Yansong asked calmly, "The purpose of doing all this is only to expand the land area and increase the activity space for humans and Pokémon. It will bring great benefits to both humans and Pokémon."

Behind him, a huge Pokémon covered with a scarlet shell was sleeping in the lava with its eyes closed.

Daigo's expression was extremely serious. He tried to stop this extreme man:
"That will only destroy the balance of this world! It will plunge the earth into an endless purgatory! By then, both humans and Pokémon will be severely affected!"

"Humph, even if you are the champion, you can't stop me. Look!" Scarlet Flame Pine stretched out his arms, as if to show Daigo the Pokémon behind him: "Look, this sleeping super ancient Pokémon Groudon, how beautiful! I have been waiting for this day to come for a long time! No one can stop me!"

Daigo frowned and clenched the Poké Ball in his hand, with the Metagross beside him guarding him reliably.

Next to the red flame pine, a fire-breathing camel was slowly tapping the ground with its toes, looking ready to go.

A war is about to break out!
The same scene was happening at the same time in the underwater cave.

Shui Wutong let out a frenzied laugh:

"Hahahaha... I really sympathize with you! You went through so much trouble to follow me here, but now... no one can stop us! No one! Even without the Orb, we can forcibly awaken Kyogre!"

Mikoli glanced at the sleeping Kyogre with an elegant posture.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said softly: "It seems that there is no way to return to Liuli City before dark today. I don't know how Daigo is doing. But Mienshao, we can't let that guy down!"

"Woo!"

With a melodious cry, the Milotic beside Mikoli rushed towards the water sycamore.
