Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 541 Harvest, Return to the Pasture

"Is this really the test from Tapu Finfin?"

Naoki turned his gaze to the few Z-pure crystals in his hand.

One is blue, with a water drop mark in the middle, and looks like a pure crystal as clear and deep as a sapphire.

That was exactly the purpose of Naoki's trip, to upgrade the water-attribute Pokémon's moves to Water Z, which could power up to Super Water Flow and Whirlpool.

In addition, there are two Z-pure crystals.

One is almost the same color as Eevee's fur, and another has a lightning-shaped mark on it.

This is Z and Electric Z exclusive to Eevee.

Together with the Fighting Z, Grass Z and Mew Z that Naoki had obtained from Tapu Kokoro before, all of Naoki's goals for coming to Alola were achieved.

Tapu Finfin is so generous!

But then again, how did it know that he needed Z-pure crystals with these properties?
Did you sense his wish to come here through the illusion?
Naoki looked at Tapu Fin-Fin in confusion, and after a moment of thought, he asked, "Was it you who created the illusion just now?"

Tapu Fin Fin thought of the adult's instructions, and then nodded slightly: "Fin Fin!"

Tapu Fin-Fin's Mist actually possesses this kind of power...

This was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Thinking of what happened in the illusion, Naoki felt very complicated for a moment.

He originally wanted to take a good look at the Pokémon Tapu Fin, but now he no longer had the mood to do so.

Well, since the purpose of this trip has been achieved, there is no need for them to stay in the Alola region any longer.

Thinking of this, Naoki touched the heads of the Pokémon around him, then put them back into the Poké Ball, looked up and said to Tapu Finfin:
"Although I don't really like that kind of test, I still want to say thank you."

"Fin-fin?" Tapu Fin-fin blinked, somewhat puzzled.

Naoki smiled softly: "Thank you for making me understand how important they are."

Tapu Fin-Fin was slightly startled: "Fin-Fin..."

"Thank you for providing these Z-pure crystals. I believe they will be useful in the near future. We are going back now." Naoki said.

After saying that, Naoki turned around and left the ruins of the other side with Gultun.

Tapu Fin-Fin looked at their backs until they could no longer be seen, then he disappeared from the spot.

After leaving Poni Island, Naoki rode Gulden directly to Akala Island and returned to the ranch through the entrance to the reverse world there.

It was afternoon in the Alola region, but early morning in the Padiya region.

Naoki adjusted the time on Rotom's phone to the Padia time zone and found that it was already four in the morning.

The Pokémon in the ranch were asleep and didn't notice Naoki coming back.

After returning to the ranch, Naoki did not go into the house immediately. Instead, he stood on the grass, feeling the familiar evening breeze and looking up at the deep night sky.

There was not a single cloud there, and the stars and the moon were clearly visible. The bright moonlight sprinkled on the earth, giving people a dreamlike and unreal feeling.

"Ah gah?"

Seeing Naoki standing there motionless, Gu Leton turned his head in confusion.

Naoki retracted his gaze and looked at the place where he had lived for several years, while saying to Gulerton: "It's okay, I just feel so good to be home."

Gulerton blinked his eyes, as if he understood something, turned his head and looked forward, and responded in agreement: "Ah gah!"

Naoki took a deep breath, then took out the Poké Balls of his mount goat and released them.

Accompanied by a few flashes of white light, Babu Tubo and his companions appeared in the pasture.

Naoki opened the door and entered the living room, and the motorcycle lizard sleeping in front of the fireplace was immediately awakened.

"Gah?!"

When it saw it was Naoki, it rubbed its eyes sleepily.

"Go back to sleep!" Naoki smiled slightly, then tiptoed to the kitchen and prepared some food for the Pokémon who had not yet had dinner.

After they finished eating, Naoki lay down on the bed and took a nap.

In order to adjust his sleep and rest schedule, Naoki only slept for five hours.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside. The warm sunlight shone into the house through the window, and the chirping sounds of wild bird Pokémon could be heard outside the window.

Before Naoki could sit up, an Eevee, who saw him wake up, immediately rushed over excitedly, pressed his chest with his two little paw pads, and asked excitedly:

"Buy buey?"

Sylveon, Glaceon, and Flareon also jumped onto the bed and formed a circle around Naoki.

As early as when they woke up in the morning, the Ibrahimovic heard the good news from Babu Tubo that Naoki had successfully returned with the treasure.

Before Naoki set off, every Eevee knew that Naoki would help them find treasures that would turn them into powerful Eevee.

Therefore, when Naoki came back, all the Eevees were very excited.

But in the morning, the younger sister Ai Butler came and said that Naoki came back too late yesterday and did not get a good rest, so Naoki should not be disturbed.

So the Eevees stayed at home obediently today and didn't even go to their favorite World Tree.

Naoki, who had just woken up, was a little dazed, but when he saw his partner Ibrahimovic in front of him, he quickly came to his senses.

——Partner Eevee wants to use its exclusive Z move, the nine colors of sublimation gathered together!
Naoki took his partner Ibrahimovic off his body and said helplessly, "Can I have a drink of water first?"

"Buyi!" Partner Ibrahimovic nodded.

Upon hearing this, the fairy Eevee on the bed jumped off the bed and ran to the living room. After a while, she ran in with a glass of water on a ribbon and said, "Eevee~"

Drink it, drink it, it’s here!
Naoki: “…” If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!
But he knew very well what the Eevees were thinking, so after drinking the glass of water, Naoki got out of bed and brought the Eevees to the ranch.

"Are you ready?" Naoki installed Eevee's exclusive Z on the Z bracelet.

"Buyi!"

The Ibrahimovics nodded their heads with high morale.

"Very well, let's get started!"

Naoki concentrated his mind and gently touched the purest crystal on the bracelet.

The next second, a dazzling colorful light emerged from Naoki's body, and then all poured into the body of the Eevee in front of him.

Feeling the sudden extra power in his body, his partner Ibrahimovic opened his eyes wide and then let out a cry towards the sky.

"Boo-ee!"

A circle of invisible ripples spread rapidly in all directions with it as the center.

The other Eevees that were touched by the ripples were all stunned, because they also felt the power surging in their bodies!
Then, a magical scene happened.

A green light burst out from Ye Yibu's body, until his entire body turned into a ball of green light, and then slowly rose into the air.

Flareon, Glaceon, Sylveon, Umbreon, Sol, and Jolteon all lit up with light corresponding to their body colors!

The colorful light poured from their bodies into the body of their partner Ibrahimovic, and his whole body instantly burned with a dazzling flame like a rainbow!

His partner Ibrahimovic, who was in the middle of it, looked down at his body in disbelief.

"Bu, Buyi!" What a powerful force!
It now feels like a fire is burning in its body, as if it has endless energy!
"Buyi!"

The partner Eevee, who is familiar with this power, turned around and looked at Naoki behind him. It was ready to fight!
Naoki: “…” There is no challenger?

"Buee..." An uncomfortable expression appeared on Eevee's face. It felt so uncomfortable that it had so much strength but no place to use it!
Seeing this, Naoki thought for a moment and called Gulden, asking it to help carry the big rock over from the other side of the river.

So Leton did as he was told and quickly moved the stone in front of Ibrahimovic.

Naoki said: "Use all your strength to attack this big rock now!" "Bu Yi!"

His partner Ibrahimovic yelled, and then with rainbow flames, he slammed the big rock.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, the big rock was smashed to pieces by Ibrahimovic.

"Bu-yi!" His partner Ibrahimovic was so excited that he turned around and yelled at Naoki: "Bu-yi Bu-yi!"

See? It's so strong now that it can smash such a big rock into pieces in one go!

Naoki: "..."

Although breaking stones is very easy for Pokémon of the level of Gul'ton and Dragonite, it is already very impressive for Eevee who has not received much training.

Especially, his Ibrahimovic is not an ordinary Ibrahimovic.

Just imagine, how could Ibrahimovic, who drinks life-giving goat milk and grows up bathed in natural energy every day, be an ordinary Ibrahimovic?

Their physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary Ibrahimovic.

Naoki had previously seen a video online of a trainer training Eevee.

The opponent also used stones as Ibrahimovic's imaginary enemy.

But the difference is that the Ibrahimovic not only failed to break the stone, but also got a bump on its head...

At this time, the colorful light on Eevee's body disappeared, which meant that the duration of the Z move Nine Colors Sublimation had ended.

Ibrahimovic, who was originally very excited, immediately felt very tired.

"Buyi..." It looked at its body in confusion.

"Don't worry, this is just a side effect of using the Z move. Go drink a glass of goat milk and go play with everyone!" Naoki comforted.

Although the other Ibrahimovic were the ones who borrowed the power, they were not as tired as their partner Ibrahimovic.

But some Eevees were not very happy.

Because they can't use such powerful moves.

Seeing this scene, Naoki wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Glaceon say to everyone:

"Buee Buee!" (Because that's the compensation for Eevee not evolving!)
The other Ibrahimovic looked towards it.

Glaceon continued, "Bueeeeee." (Flameep ate Naoki's sacred bun and gained powerful flames. Jolteon ate the lightning bun and his electricity became very strong. Leafeon ate the grass on the world tree every day and his grass-attribute energy was very strong. There were also Sol and Luna that could absorb moonlight and sunlight as energy!)

Ice Eevee looked at his partner Ibrahimovic and continued, "Buee!" (Only Ibrahimovic got nothing, so this can be considered as compensation for it!)

After hearing what Ice Eevee said, everyone thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.

This was originally just a small matter, and the Eevees were soon relieved. Partner Eevee obtained a very powerful move, and now they can go play on the World Tree!
The Eevees said goodbye to Naoki and ran away happily.

And Naoki gave Glaceon a look.

As expected of Ibrahimovic who has been with him the longest! He is so reliable!
"Bui..." Ice Eevee let out a breath.

After all, it watched these Eevees hatch from eggs and grow up, and it doesn't want to see conflicts between them.

This feeling is probably the same as when Dragonite's parents look at Dratini! Glaceon thought.

No, it's still different.

Glaceon thought of how Dragonite's parents threw Dratini's egg to Naoki without doing anything about it, and decisively rejected his previous idea.

When the other Eevees were running towards the World Tree, they suddenly realized that Glaceon was not following them, so they stopped and called out to it.

Only then did Glaceon chase after him.

Looking at the backs of a group of Eevee, Naoki shook his head helplessly.

He returned to the living room and put away the Z-Crystals that were not needed for the time being, including Dream Z, Electric Z, and Fighting Z. He only kept Grass Z for Bud Crown and Water Z for Kyogre.

Now all the things that need to be done have been done. The next step is to wait slowly in the ranch for Arceus to wake up and wait for the plot to unfold.

However, when storing the Z pure crystal, Naoki suddenly saw the Taijing Pearl in the drawer.

It was given to him by Dr. Olin when he went to the Zone Zero Research Institute a few years ago.

Naoki suddenly thought of something. When Pokémon is crystallized, can it use Z-moves?
Crystallization can increase the power of Pokémon's moves, and Z-moves also have this effect.

In this way, the attack power of Budcrown or Kyogre can be maximized.

Thinking of this, Naoki immediately found Babu Tubo and tried it with electricity.

The answer is yes.

In this way, their chances of winning will be increased.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

The next step is to slowly wait for Arceus to wake up.

*
Alliance Calendar: May 201, 5, summer.

Since the last trip to Alola ended, Naoki's life has returned to its former tranquility.

This day is the day when Jilidan returns from his studies.

After several months of study at the Pokémon Center, it has fully mastered the knowledge of identifying Pokémon injuries and tree berries.

Early in the morning, it waved goodbye to Naoki, and with a desire to help injured Pokémon, it went to the Expedition Guild, where it started its career as a Pokémon doctor.

After sending Chansey to the World Tree, Naoki returned to the ranch.

Summer is here, the weather is getting hotter, and he has to start working again. After all, his main job is still a rancher.

The fields were planted with crops suitable for summer planting, and Dragonite stood nearby, summoning rain clouds to help water the fields.

Looking at the thriving fields in front of him, Naoki felt extremely at ease.

This is how life should be!

"Three rats, thank you for your hard work!" Naoki looked at the three rats who were helping to plow the land and asked with a smile: "Do you want to eat anything? You can order now! I'll make it for you right away."

"Squeak, squeak?!" Upon hearing this, the three mole's eyes lit up. It wanted three super-large sandwiches so that each head could have a piece of food!

"Okay, I'll do it for you right away."

Naoki returned to the living room with a smile. As soon as he opened the door, the video phone at home suddenly rang.

"what?"

Naoki was a little surprised. After all, he had hardly used the video phone at home since the advent of the Internet age.

Although he regarded that number as the official number of Naoki Ranch, few people would call it on weekdays.

Because everyone in the town is familiar with the ranch, they have always maintained the habit of ordering from the ranch.

Naoki went forward and answered the call, and soon Professor Oak's voice was heard from the other end.

"Hello, is this Naoki?"

"Dr. Oak?" Naoki was stunned: "Why did you call this number?"

"Haha, my Rotom phone is lost, and now I can only find your old number." Professor Oak explained.

Naoki: "..."

"Okay, what's the matter with your call today?" Naoki asked.

Professor Oak grinned and said, "It's like this. I'm planning to hold a summer camp recently, but the location of the camp has not been chosen yet. I think there are a lot of Pokémon living on your ranch, so I want to ask if you have time and space there. I want to take these children over there."
