Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 512 Alola!
"If you like it, put it in here!"

Naoki helped Xiaofudan put the round stone into the bag in front of it.

"As long as you keep wearing it, maybe it won't be long before you can evolve into a Jigglypuff Egg, and then you can lay big, white, round eggs yourself."

"Boku..."

After hearing what Naoki said, Xiao Fudan immediately couldn't help but imagine that beautiful picture:
White eggs were laid out from its pouch, filling up the entire house. At that time, I would give one to Naoki, one to each of the Eevee, one to Eruption, one to Frostmilk, one to Gul'ton, and one to Motorbike...

"Buku~"

Just thinking about it makes me feel super happy!

At this time, Ibrahimovic, the partner who was responsible for catching ghosts outside, counted and began to look for everyone hiding in each room.

When it walked into the room, it saw the little lucky egg standing in front of Naoki at a glance.

Partner Ibrahimovic immediately rushed over: "Buyi!"

Only then did Little Fukudan realize that he was still playing hide-and-seek. He immediately shook his head vigorously, telling his partner Ibrahimovic that this time it didn't count, and that Naoki had something to find him for, so he didn't hide well!
Hearing this, partner Ibrahimovic looked at the little lucky egg, then looked at Naoki beside him.

"Buy?"

Facing Xiao Fudan's pleading eyes, Naoki smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have something to ask Xiao Fudan."

"Buyi..." His partner Ibrahimovic thought about it seriously, then nodded and said, "Buyi!"

In that case, let’s count them again!

Little Fudan breathed a sigh of relief, and after its partner Eevee went out, it immediately began to look for a place to hide.

Naoki did not disturb the little guys playing hide-and-seek. He quietly returned to the room, sat at the desk, and used the Rotom phone to look up information about Pokémon such as Chansey.

Accompanied by the input of the three words "Jickie Egg".

Soon, a piece of information popped up on the web page.

[Chucky, the Egg Pokémon, is the evolved form of Lucky Egg. It is said to bring luck to whoever captures it!

They can lay several eggs a day, and are a favorite food of many Pokémon. The eggs are so delicious that even people with no appetite will eat them in one bite.

In the past, people hunted for the nutritious eggs of the jellyfish. After this period of indiscriminate hunting for the eggs in its belly, the number of jellyfish has become very scarce! 】

Naoki continued to flip through the pages.

The nature of the Pokémon Chansey is kind and gentle. Even if it is a wild Chansey, when it sees an injured Pokémon, it will share its nutritious eggs with the other Pokémon.

That kind of egg is rich in nutrition and delicious, and has the nickname "no need to seek medical advice". In the human chef world, the eggs of Jigglypuff are also used as high-end ingredients.

The way that Little Lucky Egg evolves into Jigglypuff Egg is also very special.

It needs to carry the round stone with it at all times, and then absorb the energy in the stone by growing, so as to evolve into a Jigglypuff.

Growth... in game terms, it means upgrading.

After a little thought, Naoki decided to give Xiaofudan some simple special training based on his condition.

*
In the evening, Naoki brought back his bear apprentice who had been training on the World Tree for a day.

After returning to the ranch, Apprentice Bear sat on the sofa with a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was thinking about today's harvest.

"What are you thinking about?" Naoki couldn't help but ask.

"Well..." Apprentice Bear touched his head and then told Naoki about his recent troubles.

It wondered if its life like this was a bit too lazy...

If we could use the time for eating, sleeping and walking to practice on the World Tree, would we be able to achieve better results?

Moreover, its two masters also invited it to stay on the World Tree so that they could guide it at all times and help it become a more powerful Pokémon.

Naoki: "..."

Are Groudon and Kyogre inviting their bear apprentice to stay on the World Tree and practice?

Upon hearing this, Naoki's first reaction was that the two Pokémon were feeling lonely.

After all, they have been alone for so many years, and it is not easy to meet a younger generation that they like, but they are embarrassed to say it directly, so they can only express their inner thoughts in a roundabout way by using words such as guiding special training.

Naoki thought for a moment, then asked, "What do you think?"

Apprentice Xiong hesitated: "Well..."

Seeing this scene, Naoki understood in his heart.

"Okay! Let's go!" He nodded.

"Oh?"

Just like how Xiaozhi's Charizard stayed in Charizard Valley to practice, Naoki felt that if his bear apprentice was willing, it could also stay in the World Tree to practice.

Anyway, the World Tree is right next to the ranch, and they can meet anytime.

It is also a good opportunity for Apprentice Bear to improve his relationship with Groudon and Kyogre and learn more experience from them.

So the next morning, Naoki sent his bear apprentice to the World Tree like sending a child to boarding school, and left him in the care of teachers Groudon and Kyogre.

It just so happened that he would be traveling to the Alola region for some time and would not be able to take care of the situation here.

As a thank you, Naoki gave Groudon and Kyogre some food as gifts.

"Then you should stay here and practice well for the next period of time!" Before leaving, Naoki touched his bear apprentice's head.

Apprentice Bear nodded his head with a determined look: "Yes!"

It will definitely be trained well! It will definitely not disappoint Naoki's expectations!
Naoki smiled slightly, then turned and left the World Tree.

Maybe the next time we meet, the bear apprentice will have evolved into a martial arts bear master.

Then next, he has to do what he should do!

On March 201, 3 of the League Calendar, the Poké Ball Transporter that Naoki ordered from Yeci was delivered to the ranch by a special person.

After the installation and debugging were completed, Naoki took another teleporter through Giratina's reversed world to the Alola region and installed it in the ranch he had purchased on Akala Island.

After debugging the machine, Naoki turned on the Poké Ball transporter.

After a conversation with the butler siblings on the other side of Rotom's phone screen, Poké Balls were teleported over in a short while.

Accompanied by flashes of white light, the figures of Pokémon such as Mount Goat, Butterfree, Saltrock, Frostmilax, Eevee and others appeared in the room one after another.

A group of Pokémon looked around with curiosity.

However, since no one had lived in the room for a long time, a rotten and musty smell had already appeared.

"This is where we will spend the winter!" Naoki said with a smile, "Although it may not look as good as our home, the winter climate here is very warm!"

Having said that, Naoki turned his gaze to the Motorcycle Lizard again.

"If you come here, Motorcycle Lizard, you don't have to worry about being cold anymore. Even in winter, you can play outside without worry, because it's different from our home. It doesn't snow here." "Gaao!" Motorcycle Lizard looked very happy.

Naoki smiled and continued, "However, I came here today just to debug the Poké Ball Transporter. I haven't planned to officially move here yet. Gulerton and I will go back to the ranch in the evening, so everyone can go back first."

However, the group of Pokémon did not plan to go back so soon.

After hearing what Naoki said, several Eevees immediately volunteered to help Naoki clean up!
"That's fine." However, Naoki thought it would be better to hire someone to come here every once in a while to help clean and maintain the house. Then when winter comes, they can move in directly here.

But today was only his second time here, and he was not very familiar with the place.

After thinking for a moment, Naoki decided to clean the house first.

Although the previous owner of this ranch moved to the Kalos area, the tools he used on a daily basis were left at the ranch.

Vaporeon used the water gun to help rinse the floor, Naoki followed behind with a mop and mopped the floor, Sylveon used a ribbon to hold a rag and wiped the water on the floor, and Flareon lay on the floor, trying to dry up the moisture with its burning body temperature.

Looking at the large group of Pokémon helping with housework, Naoki nodded with great satisfaction.

"Then you guys continue mopping the floor here, I'll go downstairs to rinse the mop!" he said.

"Buyi!"

"Mama~"

"Bonnie~"

A group of Pokémon happily agreed.

Seeing this, Naoki took Gulden downstairs, came to the ranch, and threw the mop into the sink.

The mount goats are strolling leisurely on the pasture, enjoying the tropical grass.

The five salt stone giants squatted beside a few large rocks, seeming a little confused about this place.

Before coming here, Naoki made some special research.

There are no Pokémon like Saltrock Djinn living in the Alola region, and coupled with the cross-regional trade costs, the rock salt produced by Saltrock Djinn is sold at a very high price here.

The same is true for the goat milk from the mount goat, but if you replace it with the tropical dragon's big banana and the mooing milk from the big milk tank, it will be much cheaper than in the Padia region.

So, Naoki brought his mount goat and the salt stone giant over, ready to see the specific prices of life goat milk and rock salt here.

While thinking, Naoki turned on the faucet and rinsed the mop.

However, at this moment, thick smoke suddenly floated out of the window on the second floor, accompanied by a burning smell.

Naoki was slightly stunned. It's on fire?

He quickly threw away the mop and took Gulden upstairs, only to see a group of Ibrahimovic surrounding the end of the corridor.

At this moment, the fire had been put out by Vaporeon with a water gun.
Flareon sat on the floor with his head hung, looking guilty.

"..."

He knew what was going on without having to ask.

Flareon must have accidentally set the curtains at the end of the corridor on fire while drying the floor.

Those curtains were made of woven wool, and once ignited, they would quickly burst into flames.

"Buei..." Flareon glanced at Naoki, his face full of guilt.

"Forget it!" Naoki said helplessly: "As long as no one is hurt, it's just a curtain, don't worry too much."

He believed that Flareon didn't do it on purpose. After all, the Pokémon he raised were all very well-behaved.

"Buyi..."

Although Naoki did not blame it, Flareon still did not dare to use fire to dry the moisture on the floor.

It carefully followed Naoki downstairs and the Pokémon ran to the ranch alone.

At noon, Naoki used the ingredients here to make a simple lunch for the Pokémon.

Like sandwiches, coconut rice with tropical flavor and more.

Although the food was a bit simple, Naoki enjoyed it very much.

This environment reminded Naoki of when he first arrived at the ranch.

He glanced at Motorlizard and Gulton sitting on his left and right, and then enthusiastically told everyone what happened when he first started running the ranch.

"At that time, you hadn't come to the ranch yet, and there were only three of us at home, me and Motor Lizard Gulden."

"At that time, we were still living in that shabby little wooden house. The things inside were very simple. There was only a bed, a desk, and a cupboard. I had just arrived at the ranch, and there was really nothing at home."

"Later, Gulden helped us catch a lot of fish and sold them for a lot of money. I used the money to buy seeds and planted them in the fields together with the motor lizards."

"Gaao!" The Motorcycle Lizard nodded repeatedly, indicating that these were all true, but at that time it did not feel bitter, but instead found it very interesting.

After hearing what Motorlizard said, the Eruptions and Eevee that joined the ranch later all showed admiration on their faces.

What a pity! They didn't experience that time with Naoki!

Naoki smiled slightly, thinking about the past while eating coconut rice:
"Later, the goat that was the mount of the lamb came to the ranch, the Saltstone Djinn came to the ranch, Dragonite also came to the ranch, and Babu Tubo also broke into our home one night, as did Frostmilk, Oliva, and Glaceon. From then on, we lived together!"

Naoki's face was filled with a happy smile.

"Ah, gah..." Gulden stared at the scene, then laughed: "Ah, gah~"

The Eevees in front of them felt very regretful. If only they had met Naoki earlier!

Understanding what they meant, Naoki smiled and shook his head: "Don't say that, it's not too late now!"

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by the voice.

Naoki stood up and went to open the door in surprise. Who could it be at this time?

As the door opened, a young man wearing red shorts, with reddish-brown hair, a necklace around his neck, and his upper body naked, revealing his dark muscles, stood in front of the door.

Seeing the person coming, Naoki was slightly startled.

Is this...Kachi?
Kachi is one of Ash's companions when traveling in the Alola region in the anime. Like him, his family also runs a ranch.

Naoki was a little surprised at first, but then he thought, Kachi's ranch is also on Akara Island, so there is nothing surprising about seeing Kachi.

Maybe the other party was attracted by the white smoke coming out of the chimney when he was cooking just now.

Sure enough, Kachi's next words confirmed Naoki's guess.

"Alola! Sir! Are you the new owner of this ranch? Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Kachi from the ranch next door! I was delivering Moo Moo milk to the guests just now, and when I passed by here, I saw smoke coming out of your chimney, so I came over to say hello to you!"
