Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 496 Kyogre and the Bear Apprentice, the Secret of the Sea! (asking for monthly tickets)

“This is my ranch!”

As Naoki spoke, he took his apprentice Bear to visit his own ranch.

The bear apprentice's little face was full of curiosity. Although he had seen humans before, he had hardly ever been to the human world.

"Oh?"

"Ranch?" Naoki explained with a smile, "A ranch is a place where Pokémon are raised and everyone lives together. Do you see the goat mount over there? And the Milk Tank over there."

"They help us produce many buckets of fresh goat and cow milk every day, which we can keep for drinking or sell."

"The money we earn from selling milk can be used to buy a lot of food for us to eat at home. For example, if we have money, we can buy the bamboo shoots you like directly in town."

Apprentice Xiong seemed to understand what he heard: "Well..."

At this time, its attention was attracted by the super green onions in the garden.

In the onion garden, the Onion Duck that cut off the waterfall was sitting on the grass, wiping the onions in his hand with his wings, with a look of strength on his face.

Naoki followed his bear disciple's gaze and saw Farfetch'd.

"That's Farfetch'd. Its job at the ranch is to protect the onion garden and farmland and prevent wild Pokémon from destroying them." He continued to introduce.

“Yeah!”

Apprentice Bear picked up a piece of grass from the ground and waved it like a sword.

That look was as if he was saying that the way Farfetch'd cut through the waterfall before was so awesome!

Naoki smiled and said, "Of course. Farfetch'd is a Pokémon that is keen on training just like you. It undergoes special training every day, so it has become so powerful."

“Yeah!”

Hearing this, the bear apprentice immediately became motivated. He also wanted to practice hard and become a more powerful Pokémon!
Naoki saw what his disciple Xiong was thinking and nodded.
"Well, don't worry. Regarding your path of cultivation, I will help you develop a more reasonable and efficient plan. If you train according to my method, you will definitely achieve better results."

"Yes!" Apprentice Xiong nodded happily.

Pokémon like Bear Apprentice are so cute!

Naoki felt an overwhelming sense of fondness in his heart, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his bear apprentice's head.

Decision made. I’ll help Apprentice Bear build a bamboo forest on the ranch!
In addition, Naoki thought of the set of mandarin orange balls that the lost woman had given him before.

He wants to give the Friendship Ball to his disciple Bear as a proof of their friendship!
As for Naoki's touch, the bear apprentice was stunned and suddenly became shy.

No one has ever treated it like this!
"You live in the ranch first. After a while, when I have finished dealing with the ancient deer and the others, I will help you build a bamboo forest. Then you can live there with peace of mind." Naoki said with a smile.

Build a bamboo forest? Apprentice Bear looked around and found that there was not a single bamboo here.

Doesn't that mean we have to start planting from bamboo shoots? That sounds so troublesome!

The bear disciple was very happy that Naoki was willing to help him practice. He didn't want to trouble Naoki, so he shook his head repeatedly: "Yeah!"

"Huh? You don't like it?" Naoki was slightly stunned.

Apprentice Xiong replied somewhat embarrassedly: "Well..."

Naoki suddenly realized that she didn't want to cause him trouble?
"It's okay. Besides, there is a Pokémon on the ranch that can make bamboo grow instantly!"

Naoki grinned and said, "Besides, there's no need to be so formal. From now on, we are all family. If nothing unexpected happens, we will live together forever."

"Bai ah..." Apprentice Xiong raised his head and listened to these words in a daze.

After a moment, a light flashed in its eyes, and it nodded its head repeatedly: "Yeah!"

"That's right! Do you want to come up?" Naoki patted his shoulder.

The bear disciple, who had always lived alone and was used to doing things on his own, shook his head subconsciously.

But the next second, it felt itself being picked up.

“Yeah!”

Naoki put his bear apprentice on his shoulder and took the opportunity to stroke the little bear twice: "Don't be shy! Come on, I'll continue to show you around the ranch!"

One person and one Pokémon continued to move forward.

Next, Naoki took his bear apprentice to visit the orchard, apple orchard, chicken coop, the underground cave of the Salt Stone Giant, the Braided Sheep Ranch, the Pokémon Tavern and the Snorlax Park.

Soon, it was night.

In order to welcome the arrival of Apprentice Bear, Ancient Tripod Deer and Ancient Jade Fish, Naoki prepared a sumptuous dinner for them.

However, during the meal, Naoki did not see Gulden.

Only then did he realize that he seemed not to have seen Gulden the entire afternoon.

Something is wrong!
He turned to look at his sister Ai Guanshi and asked, "Have you seen Gu Leton?"

My sister Ai Butler pointed in the direction of the wine cellar: "Ai eh..."

This afternoon, Gulden went into the wine cellar and never came out. I don't know what he was doing.

wine cellar?

Naoki was slightly stunned, then he pushed open the door of the wine cellar and walked down the wooden stairs.

The dim wine cellar was filled with the aroma of fruit wine. With a click, the warm lights instantly illuminated every corner of the room.

And Gulden was squatting in the corner, not knowing what he was doing.

Seeing this scene, Naoki couldn't help but have a big question mark pop up over his head.

"Gulden? What are you doing in the wine cellar?"

Gu Leton didn't seem unhappy. He still answered energetically as before: "Ah gah!"

It's waiting here to grow hair!
Zhenyifa said that as long as you stay in a dark and damp corner like Chengchengguo, fur will grow on your body!
Naoki: "..."

"Hairy? What kind of hair? Come out and eat! If you don't come, the food will be eaten by other Pokémon."

"Ah gah!"

Hearing this, Gulden ran out quickly. After staying there for the whole afternoon, his stomach was growling with hunger.

Naoki closed the door of the wine cellar and followed Gulden back to the living room.

Holding a barbecue sandwich in his wing claws and eating the meat roughly, Flutterfa saw Gulton running out.

It thought about what happened in the afternoon and couldn't help asking, "Dream?" (Did you grow hair?)
"Ah, gah." Gulden looked left and right, and found that there was no hair on his body: "Ah, gah..."

It seems the plan has failed.

Because if it remembered correctly, when it was still a motorcycle lizard, it had never seen the Gulton grow hair.

This shows that Gulden cannot grow hair.

"Okay, let's eat!" Naoki sat down at the dining table, let out a long sigh, and looked at the group of Pokémon around him. He felt that his life was complete.

The dinner ended in a joyful atmosphere.

The Ancient Deer and the Ancient Jade Fish returned to the Poké Ball to rest, while the bear apprentice was placed by Naoki in a furry Pokémon nest.

"Okay, let's sleep here!" Naoki touched his bear apprentice's head.

"Oh~"

The bear apprentice responded softly, turned his head and looked around, looking at the Pokémon nest under him with curiosity.

It was warm and cozy inside, a feeling it had never had before.

Apprentice Bear was very happy. He curled up in his den and closed his eyes peacefully.

Gulden next door squinted at the little bear Pokémon.

It thought this guy was too childish. It was just an ordinary Pokémon nest. What was so special about it? It was even unwilling to let go after it evolved into a martial arts bear master.

Gulton, who had never slept in a small nest because of his body size, really couldn't understand this behavior.

After settling a few new Pokémon that had joined the ranch, Naoki took out the Rotom Phone.

He first chatted with Qishu for a while, and after they said good night to each other, they agreed to meet tomorrow.

Naoki was quite familiar with the dates at the Niangguang Gym.

The work in the gyms in the Padiya area is very humane. Each gym owner only needs to work six days a week and then get one day of rest.

Today is Saturday and tomorrow is Sunday. The Niangguang Gym does not need to receive challengers, so Qishu has time to come to the ranch.

After closing the chat box with Qishu, Naoki opened the chat group for legendary beasts and @ed Kyogre in the group.

It was obvious that Kyogre hadn't gone to bed yet.

A few seconds after sending the message, Naoki received a reply from Kyogre.

[Kyogre: What do you want from me? ]

【King Yi: I have something I would like to ask you for help with. 】

[Kyogre: What's going on? ]

[Wing King: I just captured a Pokémon partner today. It has been practicing the mysteries of water recently, such as training under waterfalls and in rivers, and gaining enlightenment by feeling the flow of water. ]

[King Yi: I thought that you are the god of the sea, and you created so much sea water. Maybe I can use your power to help it understand the mystery of water.]

The World Tree, in the deep sea beneath the Dragon Country.

Kyogre looked at the message sent by Naoki calmly.

God of the Sea...is this what humans call it?

That's true. It is the embodiment of the sea. It created the Sea of ​​Origin and masters the ultimate mystery of water.

To some extent, it can indeed help that Pokémon practice.

Kyogre thought it was no problem and considered it as a way of thanking Naoki for allowing them to live in the World Tree.

It has absorbed a large amount of natural energy during this period of time, and its strength has long returned to its peak. In reciprocity, it should also give back to Naoki.

Thinking of this, Kyogre was about to ask Rotom to reply with an OK.

But at this moment, Rotom in front of it told it through voice that its mortal enemy Groudon had sent a message.

[Grawoman: Why did you only look for Kyogre and not me? I'm much stronger than that guy! ]

What is the mystery of water?
It can teach that Pokémon the secrets of the earth and let it feel the majestic power of the earth!

Naoki: "..."

He wanted to, but the problem was that there was no point in looking for Groudon!
Kyogre can help the bear apprentice to comprehend the mystery of water and allow it to evolve into a martial arts bear master with combo skills.

In this regard, Groudon can't provide much help.

However, Groudon refused to give in and kept shouting and cursing at Kyogre in the group.

In the end, even the internet celebrity Giratina came along to join in the fun.

[Giratina: Let me tell you something! Instead of just sitting around and arguing in the group, why don't you compete to see who teaches better and who can make that Pokémon grow more? Whoever can make that Pokémon grow more will be more powerful. Let's use this method to determine who is better and who is better! ]

[Grawo: Humph, I'm fine! ]

[Kyogre: If that's the case, then I have no problem with that either.]

Naoki: "..."

He hasn't agreed yet?
How come these legendary Pokémon have such clear arrangements for his bear apprentice?

But on second thought, teachings on Legendary Pokémon are not common outside.

Although Groudon and Kyogre proposed this "war" in order to suppress each other.

But in order to win, the two of them will surely put in their best efforts to teach their bear apprentice.

There is no doubt that this is a rare opportunity for Apprentice Xiong.

Let’s not talk about Groudon for now, because Naoki doesn’t know what use it can be put to.

But the secret of water of Kyogre, the God of the Ocean, is a real help to the bear apprentice.

The original apprentice Bear was inspired by the river water that was sometimes turbulent and sometimes calm, and he practiced the water school to perfection and created the move "Water Flow Continuous Attack".

And now...

If the object of Apprentice Bear's perception changed from ordinary river water to the sea water of the Ocean God, what kind of perception would he gain?

At first glance, sea water and river water don't sound much different.

But they are different in nature. The capacity and width of sea water far exceed those of ordinary rivers.

When the sea is calm, when the sea turns into huge waves, it is endless and endless...

Thinking of this, Naoki sent a message to the divine beast chat group.

[King Wing: Okay, when I have time tomorrow afternoon, I will take my Pokémon to the World Tree. ]

*
The next morning, Dragonite flew to Niaoguang City and took Qishu to the ranch.

As soon as the strange tree landed, the tomb dog rushed to greet it excitedly.

"Wang Woo!"

"Okay, okay!" Qishu gently touched the head of the tomb dog, then stood up and handed a bouquet of flowers to Zhishu: "Hehe, this is a gift for you!"

Naoki was stunned on the spot and tried hard to recall what holiday today was. However, after thinking for a long time, he realized that today was just an ordinary day.

"Why did you suddenly think of sending me flowers?" he asked.

Qishu greeted Gulden, then squatted down, holding the tomb dog in her arms and explaining:

"Just when I was leaving the house, I found a flower shop on the street. The flowers there were very beautiful, so I bought a bunch of them and brought them here!"

Hearing this, Naoki couldn't help but look down at the bouquet of flowers in his hand.

Some boys will never receive a bouquet of flowers in their entire life, and the only place they might receive flowers is at a funeral.

This was the first time he received such a gift.

Naoki's heart was slightly moved. He walked into the house with the flowers and asked:
"Is the lightning bun I gave you last time effective?"

During the previous Chinese New Year, Zapdos gave him some feathers, and Naoki made a lot of lightning buns. They couldn't finish them, so he gave a few to Qishu and asked her to give them to the Electric Belly Frog and the others.

“Yeah!” Qi Shu nodded repeatedly. When she mentioned that incident, an incredible look appeared on her face: “Your superpowers are too powerful!”

Naoki smiled and said, "That's because I used special ingredients."

"What are you going to do today?" Qishu asked.

Naoki originally planned to continue to subdue the Jane of Disaster and the Sword of Disaster, but when Qishu came over today, he postponed the action until tomorrow.

After a brief thought, Naoki thought of his apprentice bear, so he spoke:
"I captured a new Pokémon yesterday when I went out to do some work at Slam Falls. I plan to build a bamboo forest for it on the ranch. I plan to go to the town to buy some bamboo seedlings today. Do you want to come with me?"

"Okay!" Qi Shu nodded: "Hey, it's just right for me to experience what the daily life of a rancher is like!"

Naoki smiled.

He put the bouquet of flowers away, said a word to his sister Ai to take care of them, then drove his pickup truck to Zhaqin Town with a few Pokémon and strange trees who came to join in the fun.
