Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 504: Leihe and the Treasure of Disaster, a New Trial at Naoki Ranch?

The next morning, after feeding the Pokémon in the ranch and sending his apprentice Bear to the World Tree for class, Naoki found Gudinglu and the others.

"Let's go. Today I'm going to take you to a place to meet someone."

"Moo?" Gudinglu turned his head, as if asking who it was.

"Her?" Naoki replied with a smile: "She is Leihe. Thanks to her help, I was able to find you."

"Gu Roar." The ancient sword leopard took a step forward. If that was the case, then they really needed to go there.

"Okay." Seeing several Pokémon agree, Naoki took out their Poké Balls and said, "Let's go into the Poké Balls first. Gulerton will take us there."

Gu Jianbao nodded, and with flashes of red light, the four disaster treasures were collected into the Poké Ball.

Naoki put the Poké Ball into his pocket, then turned to the Aibutsu siblings and instructed:

"Sister, I'll leave the ranch to you. I may not be back until the afternoon. If Eevee and the others are going to the World Tree, you don't have to prepare lunch for them. Motorbike and Dragonite will go with me. And Lucky Egg, don't run around. Got it?"

"Ai Ai~" The younger sister Ai Guanshi nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Little Fudan hugged his bag full of Poké Balls tightly and nodded happily: "Buku!"

After visiting the ranch yesterday, Naoki gave it a lot of round balls. Little Fudan was very happy and immediately imitated Chansey and put all the Poké Balls into the bag in front of him.

There are so many that it’s almost impossible to fit them all in.

Pokémon's emotions are very simple. If you are nice to them, they will like you.

Especially a Pokémon like Lucky that is simple and innocent by nature.

After receiving so many round Poké Balls, it likes this human even more!
Naoki held his forehead helplessly. He looked at the little lucky egg and thought that maybe everything would be fine after it evolved into a Jigglypuff and could lay eggs on its own.

"That being said, it's time for us to set off. See you this afternoon!"

Naoki waved to a group of Pokémon, then rode Gulden away from the ranch.

The land beneath my feet gradually receded into the distance, and the pasture turned into a small black dot and disappeared from my sight. The sound of the wind whistling past my ears was the only sound.

So Leton flew over one city and field after another, and finally arrived at Zhuotai City before ten o'clock in the morning.

The streets of Zhuotai City are still crowded with people, with students coming and going and tourists from all over the world gathering in this metropolis with a long history and culture.

There is no flying ban over the city of Table City, so from time to time you can see some trainers riding flying Pokémon into the city from outside.

Naoki looked down and finally landed on the spacious and open square in front of the gate of Padilla College.

Leihe was waiting there early.

Her good eyesight, honed from years of tomb robbing, allowed her to spot Naoki and Gulden in the crowd at a glance.

"Here! Here!" Leihe waved her arms.

"Ah gah?"

Hearing the voice, Gulden looked up, then ran to Leihe with Naoki.

"Long time no see, Miss Reihe!" Naoki greeted.

"Yeah, it's been a long time." Lei He looked left and right, feeling impatient: "Have you brought the four disaster treasures?"

"of course."

"Then let's go to my place first!" Lei He turned around and led the way: "Follow me!"

The two passed through the huge gate of Padilla College and came to a hall full of bookshelves.

The ground is covered with striped floors, and there are many sofas and round tables in the corners, which seem to be convenient for students to rest and read.

The hall has many floors, and each floor is filled with countless bookshelves and books. Some students and Pokémon in school uniforms are constantly walking around and browsing the bookshelves.

"It's almost exactly the same as in the game!" Naoki looked around and thought to himself.

Leihe's voice suddenly rang out: "If you want to visit Padilla College, I can show you around later. Now follow me and let me see the four Pokémon first!"

Naoki: "..."

I have to say that Leihe is still very obsessed with the ancient deer!
He sighed helplessly, then followed.

Under the guidance of Lei He, the two soon arrived at a classroom where there were not many people.

Leihe closed the door and was about to speak when she saw Naoki take out four Poké Balls.

Accompanied by flashes of white light, the four treasures that Leihe had always dreamed of finally appeared before her.

Ancient tripod deer, ancient sword leopard, ancient jade fish, ancient bamboo snail...

"Wow!" Lei He's eyes lit up: "You really did it!"

Naoki smiled slightly and introduced them to Gudinglu:
"This is the person I told you about before. It was because of her help that I was able to find you."

Hearing this, Gudinglu and the others looked at Leihe.

However, the next second, they saw Leihe, who was just a few meters away, rushed in front of them in an instant, staring at them excitedly with glowing eyes, turning around constantly.

The bodies of several Pokémon froze instantly.

"Is this the ancient Dinglu? What a big Ding! Judging from its shape and size, this Ding should not be a daily necessity, but a work of art... or it may have been used as a sacrificial vessel for worshiping gods. Well, this is also a question worth exploring."

Lei He took out her camera and took several photos of the ancient deer, intending to keep them for later study.

Then, she came to the ancient sword leopard again.

The ancient sword leopard looked at the human with its pair of icy blue and majestic eyes.

"Ancient Sword Leopard..." Leihe asked curiously, "So the hilt and the blade constitute the teeth on the left and right sides respectively? It looks like it's broken, which is really strange. I wonder if it was broken when it became a Pokémon, or if it was broken from the beginning..."

"Hmm, no, wait, how could the king buy a broken sword? Or maybe it was originally used as a weapon in a broken state?"

This is also a question worth exploring.

"Crack, click, click!"

The appearance of the ancient sword leopard, especially the broken swords on both sides of its mouth, was captured by the camera.

Then, Lei He walked to Gu Jianwo again.

She looked at Gu Jianwo's body, which was made up of wooden slips, and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"So many wooden tablets connected together, it really is a long masterpiece!"

Hearing this, Naoki also became interested: "Does this mean that there was some information recorded on the ancient snail?"

Lei He nodded: "Yes, it's a pity that the handwriting on it has become blurred... What kind of article was written on the wooden slip that once aroused the king's interest?"

Naoki looked at the ancient snail and saw some unclear and unreadable words left on its body.

Those were obviously written by humans, and even the reverse cooking cannot repair them.

The last one is the ancient jade fish.

Leihe turned her gaze towards the small fish Pokémon that was burning with warm flames, and murmured softly:
"Gaoyu was once worn on the body for sacrifice because of its sacredness. Most people wore one magatama around their neck like a pendant, but the ancient jade fish wore as many as four..."

"Is this an ornament used to decorate paired parts such as ears and wrists? Or is the ritual performed by four people...?"

"What on earth has the magatama, which was once used to exorcise demons, experienced to become known as a disaster? The mystery is getting deeper and deeper. Oh my, my thirst for knowledge is gradually being satisfied!"

Lei He excitedly took a photo of the ancient jade fish.

"With this, the investigation of the Treasure of Disaster is now complete!"

Leihe checked the pictures in the camera and said to Naoki:
"Although there are still some mysteries, let me interpret them myself from now on! Thank you very much for your help, Naoki." "You're welcome." Naoki thought to himself that he was not without gain.

This helping trip brought four more Pokémon to his ranch that could bring good luck to humans, so he made a fortune.

Lei He smiled slightly: "To be honest, I originally wanted to investigate the treasures of disaster myself and take them for myself."

"But unfortunately, my obsession with them may not be enough to remove the seals on the four ancestral halls... Thanks to you who have no distractions, I was able to complete the investigation."

"Phew! In that case, the treasure I've always dreamed of will be kept by you from now on!"

Naoki was about to say something.

However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the classroom.

Naoki was slightly startled.

Then he saw another Leihe walking in from outside the door.

Seeing this scene, a big question mark immediately appeared above Naoki's head.

?

However, Lei He smiled slightly, turned around and asked the other "Lei He": "Is get out of class over? Have you not been discovered?"

The "Leihe" nodded, and a light flashed across its body.

The next second, "Lehe" disappeared, and was replaced by a fox Pokémon with gray-black fur and light blue pupils.

Zoroark!

Combining what Leihe had just said, Naoki instantly realized what was going on.

As a history teacher, Leihe actually asked Zoroark to transform into her own appearance and teach those students in her place!

Naoki was a little dumbfounded. Is it possible to play like this?

"Can Zoroark speak?" Naoki asked the question in his mind.

How does Zoroark, who can't speak human language, teach his students?

Hearing this, Rehe and Zoroark looked at him.

"Of course I can't speak, but Zoroark can use his power to create illusions and confuse others so that students will mistakenly think that I am teaching. This ability is something I have specially trained with Zoroark before!"

Naoki: "..."

He had already imagined the scene where Leihe would ask Zoroark to take her place in class and then sneak out to rob tombs.

Simply devilish!
"But get out of class is over now, and I don't have any classes today. How about I take you around the school?" Reihe suggested after taking a look at the class schedule on her Rotom phone.

Naoki was quite interested in hanging out at Padilla College.

Therefore, he nodded and agreed: "Okay."

Naoki put the ancient deer and the others back into the Poké Ball, then took Gulden and followed Rehe to tour the ancient academy.

"Padia Academy has a history of 800 years. Since its establishment, the school has been divided into two colleges."

"One is Orange College and the other is Grape College. Although the names are different, the teaching directions are the same."

"Every year, the two academies hold a Pokémon battle to determine the strongest academy and students."

"In addition, there is also the strongest competition in the school. It is very lively. Not only students, but also teachers like us will participate together."

Naoki listened with interest.

As they walked in the corridor, the conspicuous figures of Naoki and Gulerton quickly attracted the attention of some students.

Students who had participated in the trial at the ranch quickly recognized Naoki's identity. He was the ranch owner Naoki who was known as the hidden boss of the Padiya region!

"It's Mr. Naoki!" someone exclaimed.

Hearing the voice, Naoki turned around and saw a young student looking at him with excitement not far away.

He still had some impression of that person, so he nodded towards him: "Long time no see!"

"Yeah!" The student nodded excitedly.

However, soon more and more students were attracted.

Many of them have challenged the trial at Naoki Ranch, and there are also some students who have not challenged it but are curious about the strongest rancher.

For a moment, Naoki and Gulden were surrounded.

Lei He couldn't help laughing as she watched this scene: "You are really popular!"

Naoki: "..."

At this time, an enthusiastic student asked a question.

"Mr. Naoki, have you added any new trials to your ranch recently?"

Naoki raised an eyebrow: "Those items are not enough for you to challenge? I don't think anyone has passed the Green Grass Trial yet?"

"The difficulty of the Green Grass Trial is too high!" Another student shook his head: "Is there any trial suitable for new trainers to challenge?"

"That's not the case." Naoki thought carefully: "Unless you are willing to fight against my Milcanthron, but Milcanthron is a Pokémon that specializes in producing fresh milk..."

Having said that, Naoki stopped.

Because he drinks Life Goat Milk every day and practices rolling on the ranch, Miltank's current strength may not be something that a new trainer can deal with.

They have practiced the "rolling" technique to perfection and can roll continuously without any lag or backswing.

To put it another way, it's like the dragon cart in Monster Hunter, but it's a continuous one.

However, although Naoki thought so, these students did not think so.

"Milky Tank that produces milk? They're not Pokémon that are specifically designed for battles. If we use Pokémon that we've specially trained to fight them, wouldn't that be unfair..."

Naoki showed an elegant smile on his face: "When you have time later, you can go over and give it a try."

Don't fight with his milk-producing cows for three hundred rounds, then it will be embarrassing if you can't even win.

"Is there a reward for winning the trial?" someone asked.

"Of course." Naoki nodded. His family now has a lot of fruit wine stored, which is enough even if 500 people come.

But the prerequisite is that these five hundred people can really defeat Milk Tank and think of a way to deal with [Super Roll].

"Great! I'll try it later!" Someone shouted excitedly.

Because they got news from some people that the rewards for the trials are mysterious gifts that can make Pokémon stronger, and they are definitely helpful.

"Besides the Milktank, are there any new trials?" another student asked.

Naoki wanted to say no, but he suddenly thought of the Ancient Deer and the Ancient Jade Fish, as well as the bear apprentice who was training under the guidance of Groudon and Kyogre, so he changed his words:

"Of course, there are now two new trials in the ranch. One is called [Martial Arts Trial], and the other is called [Four Auspicious Trials]. I'm at the ranch, and you're always welcome to challenge me!"

"Yes, we will definitely get there!" everyone answered in unison.

Naoki smiled and nodded: "When the time comes, I will definitely receive you well."
