Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 489: The precious tangerine ball Zygarde's 10% form appears!
The woman followed Naoki into the living room.

She looked at the young man quietly and nodded inwardly.

Well, he is indeed handsome and looks very calm. He seems to be a good man.

Her arrival attracted many Pokémon to come and watch.

The woman's eyes swept over the Pokémon. As she was also a trainer in her youth, she recognized them at a glance.

Dratini, Motorbike Lizard, Different-colored Babu Groundhog, Saltstone Giant, Butterfree...

All of these Pokémon have been bred very well, and are perfect in both fur color and mental state.

There are even some Pokémon that appear to be very powerful.

No wonder her husband was beaten into autism, the woman thought.

Naoki looked back at the lost tourist, asked him to sit on the sofa and rest for a while, and then asked his sister, Ai, the waitress, to bring a cup of tea to the guest.

"Love~"

My sister Ai Guanshi nodded slightly and soon came over with a cup of tea.

"Thank you."

The woman took the cup, tilted her head back and drank it all, looking very thirsty.

After finishing the tea in the cup, the woman breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah! Thank you very much!"

"You're welcome." Naoki smiled and shook his head: "Are you a tourist from out of town?"

The woman nodded gently: "Yes, I heard about the legend of the legendary Pokémon in Zheqin Town, so I rushed here from Niangguang City to visit."

"I didn't expect to get lost along the way, and it took me a lot of effort to find a place where humans live..."

Niangguang City?
Naoki immediately thought of Qishu. He smiled and helped him guide the way to the destination:
"Go west after leaving this ranch. Follow the path to the end and you will see the town of Ziqin. If you want to visit the Shrine of Abundance, you can go north from here and follow the mountain path to reach your destination."

The woman listened carefully: "Ah, thank you very much. By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet."

"Name?" Naoki introduced himself: "My name is Naoki, Naoki from Naoki Ranch."

"Naoki..." The woman murmured the name again: "By the way, you look very young. You should be less than 25 years old this year, right?"

Hmm? It was rare for Naoki to meet someone who didn't think he looked like an uncle, and he suddenly felt happy.

"Yes, I'm 22 this year and will be 23 in the second half of the year." He nodded.

"Twenty-two years old, my daughter is that old too!" The woman thought for a moment, then said with a smile.

"Daughter?" Naoki was quite surprised.

The woman in front of him seemed to see what he was thinking and said with a smile:

"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually forty years old! Come to think of it, you should call me auntie!"

"!!!"

Naoki was shocked: "Forty years old?"

But the woman in front of him looked like she was only thirty years old? !
People in the Pokémon world don’t age very easily, right?
"That's right." The woman nodded gently. She looked outside and seemed very interested in the ranch. "It's hard to see such pastoral scenery in a big city!"

The tranquility and leisure of life here gives people a very comfortable feeling.

"Can I see your ranch?" the woman asked.

"Of course." Naoki nodded and agreed.

Then he took the other person to visit his ranch.

From the riding goats that produce goat milk, to the farmlands filled with a variety of crops, to the apple orchards and braided sheep pastures across the river.

Looking at such a large pasture, the woman couldn't help but sigh:
"You are amazing. You can manage such a large ranch in such an orderly manner by yourself!"

"I'm not the only one taking care of this!" Naoki said a little embarrassedly, "Many Pokémon in the ranch will also help."

"Where are your family? Don't they live with you?" the woman asked again.

"Family?" Naoki shook his head. "They are all dead. I was not here at first, but I moved here later."

"Ah? I'm so sorry!" the woman looked apologetic.

What a poor child...

"It doesn't matter, those things are all in the past." Naoki shook his head.

"Yes, that's right! People should look forward!" The woman nodded in agreement.

She glanced at the time and then said, "Well, thank you very much for your hospitality. I have recovered now and I won't bother you any more!"

When she came over just now, she saw Naoki working in the fields.

"It's okay, I've received help from others before." Naoki said with a smile.

Then, he pointed the way to Ziqin Town for the woman:
"Just keep going forward and you'll see the town. There aren't many dangerous Pokémon on the road, and you don't have to worry about being attacked by wild Pokémon. It's very safe here."

The woman showed a gentle smile on her face, nodded gently, and then handed the bag in her hand over:

"These are the souvenirs I bought on the road. I'll use them to thank you for your hospitality!"

Naoki shook his head subconsciously, thinking that there was no need to be so polite.

However, after handing him the gift, the woman turned and left. After walking a distance, she turned back and waved to him, saying gently, "See you next time!"

Hearing this, Naoki was slightly stunned. What does it mean?
The woman left.

Naoki stood there for a while, then opened the bag and saw a set of exquisite mandarin orange balls inside.

Sweet ball, friendly ball, moon ball, heavy ball, speed ball...

Naoki was stunned for a moment.

Because these mandarin orange balls are a very precious gift!
Cone Balls are different from ordinary Poké Balls in that they are handmade from cones grown on cone trees.

In the past, craftsmen who made Poké Balls would hollow out cones and put them into special Pokémon-catching nets to make Poké Balls.

Most of these Poké Balls made from cones have special properties.

For example, Sweet Balls can make it easier to capture wild Pokémon of a different gender than your own Pokémon.

The internal environment of the Friend Ball is very comfortable, and the Pokémon captured with it will be easier for them to become close to their trainers, becoming friends just as the name suggests.

The Moon Ball can easily capture Pokémon that can evolve through the Moon Stone.

Before the birth of modern Poké Balls, Poké Balls made from cones were very common, and this technology is said to date back 400 to 700 years.

However, with the development of technology, these Poké Balls have gradually been replaced by modern mass-produced Poké Balls due to the long production time and low efficiency.

However, craftsmen who have inherited this craft are still making Poké Balls for outstanding trainers. They will spend a whole day carefully carving the cones into precious handmade Poké Balls.

Because of this, the value of this kind of Poké Ball far exceeds that of the ordinary red and white Poké Ball, and it is more commemorative.

It sounds very romantic for a trainer to pick the cones himself and give them to the craftsman to make a special Poké Ball for his beloved Pokémon partner.

Naoki didn't expect that he would receive such a precious thank-you gift just for providing that person with a glass of water.

This made him not know what to say for a moment.

After leaving the ranch, the woman returned directly to Niaoguang City.

She opened the door and saw her husband waiting for her there.

Hearing the noise, the man looked up and asked, "How is it?"

The couple had already developed a tacit understanding after living together for many years. Just with these three words, the woman understood what her husband meant.

He was asking himself what he thought of the boy. "He? He's a very sensible kid!" The woman said softly, recalling the events on the ranch.

"Hmph." However, the man's face turned sour when he recalled his previous experience of being six-tied.

Seeing this scene, the woman sighed and said, "Don't be like this. It's not easy for that child either. His parents passed away early, and he is the only one left at home."

Hearing this, the man was slightly stunned and turned to look at his wife.

"He managed the ranch perfectly by himself, and he was able to take care of so many Pokémon."

"Not only that, he was very polite to me and offered me help when I went over. That kid is a very good person!"

The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at him, the more she likes him.

At this point, the woman added: "If the two of them can go on smoothly, we can rest assured."

"Hmph." The man snorted again, but his tone was much softer than before: "Niangguang City and Ziqin Town are so far away, it won't be easy for Qishu to come back by then."

"Oh my, I don't think we need to worry about this at all!" The woman smiled and shook her head: "I saw Dragonite there. With Dragonite's speed, it can travel back and forth between the two places in less than 30 minutes."

"Humph."

Woman: "You stingy bastard! I think you just can't let go of your pride! Who was it that vowed before that he would let others see his strength?"

man:"……"

Naoki eventually placed the set of tangerine balls on the display cabinet for collection.

The time has come to February of the year 201 in the Alliance Calendar.

The land in the pasture has been planted, and after being cultivated by the mount goats, the crops that have just been planted have blossomed and borne fruit in just a few breaths, and it is time to harvest.

However, Naoki did not harvest the vegetables immediately. Instead, he put them on the shelves in his own ranch shop.

If there are customers who want to buy, they will be picked right from the fields and shipped via Dragon Express, ensuring that the customers who placed the order can eat the freshest vegetables.

After doing this, Naoki began to prepare a plan to capture the four disaster Pokémon.

Leihe has already sent him the specific locations of the four Pokémon. He only needs to go to those places to lift the seals and then he can capture them.

Naoki looked at the map of the Padia region.

The nearest place to them at the moment is the Dust Shrine where the Ancient Dinglu is sealed. It is located in the north of Daguo Lake, in a place called Guoba Lindao.

【King Yi: I am leaving now.】

Before leaving, Naoki sent a message to Reihe.

And Leihe responded quickly.

[Leihe: Come on! It's up to you! ]

Naoki responded with an OK gesture. He looked at the time. It was half past eight in the morning and the sun had just risen.

If we set out at this time, we might be able to get back to the ranch in the afternoon.

"I'm going out for a while today and will probably be back in the ranch in the afternoon. I'll have to leave the Pokémon in the ranch to you guys at noon," Naoki said to the butler siblings.

"Love~"

"Love ugh."

The brother and sister nodded in unison, indicating that they would take care of everything on the ranch.

Naoki smiled slightly and then walked out the door.

In the ranch, a group of Pokémon were running and playing on the grass.

It was spring, the air temperature was very pleasant, the grass in the pasture was growing lushly, and the flowers blooming in the flower fields also attracted many butterflies.

Gu Leton lay lazily on the grass and enjoyed the breeze.

The Motorcycle Lizard was attracted by the butterflies and went into some tall grass to catch them.

Looking at that scene, a picture emerged in Naoki's mind:
A traveling Trainer was walking in the grass, and then Motorlizard jumped out and started the battle.

Well, now he knew why players in the game always encountered Pokémon jumping out of the bushes.

In the grass, the motor lizard focused all its attention on the flying butterflies.

It tiptoed and raised its head, closely following the flight path of the butterfly.

At this time, the butterfly flew out of the tall grass and prepared to land on a stone.

It's now!

The Motorcycle Lizard found the right moment, then pounced out, covering the butterfly with its claws.

However, the next second, Motor Lizard felt something struggling under his hands.

This kind of strength and struggle is simply not something a butterfly can do!
"Gaw?"

The Motorcycle Lizard moved his hand away in confusion.

Then, it saw a mysterious green Pokémon on the stone with one eye and a blue diamond-shaped core on its belly.

But the butterfly had already flown away.

"Gah?!"

The motor lizard was startled.

The Pokémon seemed to be frightened, and a green light appeared on its body.

At the same time, in Naoki's bedroom, the Zygarde cell that he placed on the desk to bask in the sun suddenly emitted a green light.

The next second, the beam of light flew outside.

The same scene occurred everywhere on the ranch, and even from the back mountain, green light was flying out. God knows how many cells Zygarde sent to observe.

Naoki, who was touching the head of the grave dog, noticed this scene.

He looked up in surprise, and saw green lights flying through the sky and then converging on the Motorcycle Lizard.

Naoki: "?"

He immediately went forward to check.

But when he saw the scene there clearly, he was stunned.

Because among the green lights, a Pokémon that looked like a Doberman gradually emerged!

The Pokémon has a pair of pale eyes, its body is made up of green and black, and there is a collar and rope-like structure around its neck.

And below, there is a blue diamond pattern!

That is... Zygarde's 10% form? !

Was Xiaoruan also sent to the ranch by Zygarde to observe?

No…Looking at the blue core, Naoki realized that it was not Xiaoruan who came, because Xiaoruan’s core was red.

And this Pokémon with a blue core obviously represents rational Z2!

And unlike Yurika's little soft, Z2 believes that humans are destroyers who disrupt order.

In the anime, it also advises Xiaoruan to stay away from humans.

Naoki looked at Z2. It was obvious that it had not just arrived here, but had been attracted here by the World Tree a long time ago.

So it has been hiding in the dark and observing all this time?
