Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 619 Nine Months

Naoki knew very well what Liu Bo was thinking.

Not only that, he also remembered that Liu Bo was later found by Celebi, who rescued him from the time rift and allowed him to see the disaster that was about to happen in the future.

Liu Bo returned to his own world and joined forces with Adu and Sakaki to stop the three legendary Pokémon Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia from destroying the world.

In the end, Liu Bo returned to the Kaji Gym and became an ordinary gym leader again.

"What are your plans for the future?" Naoki asked.

“I don’t know…” Liu Bo knew very well that this was another world. To him, everything here was unfamiliar. “For me, being able to live with the little boars is enough.”

"Yes." Naoki thought to himself.

At this time, Liu Bo seemed to be interested in the Pokémon on the World Tree. He looked out the window and asked:
"Is this the ecological park you built for these Pokémon?"

Ecological park? Naoki thought for a moment and nodded, "You can understand it that way."

At this time, the Pokémon Curly-Eared, a waiter in the coffee shop, brought them snacks to go with their afternoon tea.

Liu Bo looked at this scene and couldn't help muttering: "It's really surprising! I have never seen such a social group of Pokémon before. They are just like humans."

"Pokémon are very smart creatures. As long as they want to learn, they can quickly master any life skills." Naoki smiled and invited, "Would you like to visit this place?"

As far as he knew, each world had its own national conditions.

There is a huge difference between the atmosphere of the special chapter world where Liu Bo is and the world he is in.

Although trainers and Pokémon are also popular there, the relationship between wild Pokémon and humans is not as close as it is here.

In addition, during trainer battles, Pokémon often bypass the trainer and attack the trainer directly, which makes the world feel realistic.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Uncle Liu nodded.

So next, Naoki took Liu Bo to visit the World Tree.

They went to the farmland area, visited the great sage Slow King, saw the process of grinding wheat into flour, and visited the sushi restaurant of Mililong...

Looking at the scenes here, Liu Bo felt that his worldview was impacted.

"Is this what your world is like?" he murmured.

"Of course not." Naoki shook his head. The wild Pokémon in the outside world are still different from the Pokémon on the World Tree: "This is the paradise I created for Pokémon. This situation only exists in this place."

Liu Bo suddenly realized, and he immediately said: "Pokémon and humans...even in the world we live in, they have a very close relationship."

"That's why many people feel sad and can't forget after losing the Pokémon they've been with day and night... If one day, the Pokémon you've been with day and night passes away, will you do the same thing as I did?"

Uncle Liu suddenly asked this question.

Naoki was slightly stunned, and then the images of the Pokémon in the ranch appeared in his mind.

As far as he knew, the lifespans of those Pokémon were all longer than his...

"Maybe." Naoki paused and continued, "I will try to stay with them forever, but I won't hurt those innocent children."

"I understand." Liu Bo nodded slightly. He seemed to want to say something, and at this moment, a member of the expedition guild suddenly ran towards here while shouting.

Naoki and Liu Bo turned their heads and saw Charizard flying towards them from a distance.

Behind Charizard is a small Pokémon with a light green body and a pair of transparent wings on its back, like a little elf in the forest.

That's... Celebi?

Naoki was stunned.

Liu Bo, who was standing by, also had an expression of disbelief on his face.

It was because he had recognized that Celebi, and that was the Celebi he had captured before using the GS Ball that could capture time!

But...how did it appear here?

Seeing Liu Bo, Celebi was very happy and flew over quickly.

Charizard landed next to Naoki and looked at the scene over there with him.

"Charizard, what's going on?" Naoki couldn't help but ask.

"Awooo!" Charizard let out a roar, and then carefully told Naoki the whole story.

It turned out that when it was traveling between the Mystery Maze and other worlds, it accidentally encountered this Pokémon named Celebi.

Celebi seemed to be looking for someone. When he saw it, he immediately flew over and asked it if it had seen an old man.

Charizard said he had never seen it, but maybe everyone in the World Tree would know something about it.

So, it brought the Celebi to the expedition team's guild headquarters, and sure enough, it learned from the Pokémon here that Farfetch'd had brought back a human.

"Compare!"

When he saw Liu Bo, Celebi immediately started communicating with him.

Uncle Liu looked confused.

Seeing that the other party didn't understand what he meant, Celebi quickly used his superpowers to use his thoughts to show the future scene in Liu Bo's mind.

After a moment, Liu Bo opened his eyes wide and asked, "Are those all true?"

"Compare!"

Celebi nodded repeatedly.

Liu Bo frowned, thought for a moment, and said to Naoki: "I have to go back. I will always remember what happened today. Thank you very much for your hospitality."

Naoki raised his eyebrows. He knew everything about Liu Bo and Celebi, but he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

"Looks like it's time to say goodbye." Naoki said.

The group returned to the Gate of Time and Space. Liu Bo and Celebi stood in front of the gate. Before they entered, Liu Bo turned around, paused, and said to Naoki:
"When I return, I will try my best to make amends to the children I kidnapped and apologize to them."

Naoki nodded, and then smiled and said goodbye to him: "I wish you all the best."

Liu Bo nodded silently, turned around, and disappeared into the depths of the time and space gate with Celebi.

"call……"

It was finally over, and Naoki breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Arceus had said before that some people from other worlds might accidentally enter here, Naoki never expected that the first person would be the masked man Liu Bo from the special episode...

He had imagined countless possibilities, the red and green of the game world, or at worst, Blue, Liliae, and so on.

For example, Red, who was practicing at the top of Mt. Silver, met a Pokémon that had mistakenly entered that world. He heard from the Pokémon that there were many powerful Pokémon on the World Tree, so he accepted the invitation and came to the World Tree to start a new practice.

Unfortunately, Naoki can only think about this kind of thing.

Red is a human and cannot understand the language of Pokémon, so all his assumptions above are not true.

Oh! He really wanted to meet Red, who was known as the strongest trainer in the Pokémon world, to see if he was just like in the game, only able to "..."

After seeing Liu Bo off, Naoki breathed a sigh of relief. He took Gulden away and returned to the ranch.

*
September, autumn, 203rd year of the Alliance Calendar.

Time has unknowingly arrived in autumn, the leaves on the trees have begun to turn yellow, and the entire Padia region has ushered in a bumper harvest.

As the chief of the Padiya Alliance, Yesi heard about this matter at the first time.

Reports came in from all over the country that the harvest was great and the quality of the crops was better than ever before. The fruits on the trees were big and round, and the rice grains in the fields were big and full. The dishes made with them were sought after by many food lovers.

Other regions heard the news and even began to contact Padya, wanting to import crops from here.

Ye Ci was very happy to hear this. Although she didn't know what had happened, she thought that all this was closely related to the King of the Lotus Crown.

The Padia region is what it is today thanks to Naoki bringing the Bud Crown back to the ranch.

Agriculture and tourism have greatly boosted the economic development of the Padya region.

In recent years, the world status and popularity of the Padiya region have been rising, and its popularity is almost on par with the well-known Unova region. Ye Ci was very happy, and when she was happy, she couldn't help but give Zhishu a reward.

On September 9, Naoki was taking care of the little tree on the ranch when he suddenly saw Aoki visiting his ranch.

Naoki was very surprised to see Aoki and quickly stood up and walked forward to greet him.

"Mr. Aoki, how come you have time to come to the ranch today?"

"I'm here on a business trip." Aoki still looked like a company animal. He handed over the gift in his hand and said, "The chief asked me to give you this gift. Now that the gift has been delivered, I'll leave first."

Aoki nodded at him, came in a hurry, and left in a hurry.

Naoki: "..."

Yes, it goes without saying that this is a job arranged by Ye Ci.

But then again, why did Ye Ci give him another gift?

Naoki looked at the box in his hand, opened it, and found that it was some specialties from other towns, which were not very expensive.

Naoki took out his Rotom phone and sent a message to Yeci.

[King Yi: Why did the Chief suddenly send us a special product today? ]

Ye Ci responded quickly.

[Yeci: Of course it’s for celebration! ]

【King Yi: Celebrate?】

[Yeci: The Padiya Alliance has had a bumper harvest this year, and crops are growing well in all places.]

Seeing this, Naoki immediately understood.

Ye Ci still believes that all this is caused by the Lotus Crown King!
Naoki was speechless for a moment, and after thinking about it, he thanked Yeci.

After putting the gift away, Naoki turned and walked into the ranch. He looked in the direction of Snorlax Park.

There, a little girl with pink hair in small buns and a pair of bright black eyes was sitting on a picnic blanket, fiddling with the Psyduck watering can in front of her.

Several Pokémon were beside her, taking a leisurely nap.

"Xiaoshu!" Zhishu walked up and asked with a smile: "What are you doing?"

Hearing the sound, Xiaoshu looked up. She picked up the Pikachu spray bottle in her hand and held it high, making a babbling sound.

"Whoa!"

Naoki's heart is so soft, his daughter is so well-behaved!
Nine months have passed since Xiaoshu was born. The nine-month-old baby has matured and can not only sit steadily, but also crawl around.

Naoki felt a sense of accomplishment when he thought about the ugly little girl who had just been born turning into the soft and cute little girl she is now.

Because he raised this child himself!
Thinking about this, Zhishu sat down on the grass, lowered his voice, and said to Xiaoshu: "Baby, call daddy!"

The little tree looked at him and blinked in confusion.

In the past few days, Naoki and Qishu have begun to teach Xiaoshu how to pronounce and speak, but there is no visible effect yet.

But Naoki did not give up and continued to teach like this every day.

He slowed down his tone and demonstrated: "Dad-Dad."

Xiao Shu: “Aa ...

"dad!"

"Whoa!"

Naoki: "...Take your time, call me daddy-dad."

Xiaoshu seemed to be learning very hard. She opened her mouth as if she was imitating Naoki's pronunciation.

"Wow!"

Naoki: "..."

"Giggle!"

The little tree began to giggle and made clapping gestures with its two little hands.

Naoki brought the burning bug to Xiaoshu again and said to her, "This is the burning bug. It's your best friend!"

Little Tree and Burning Bug had slept in the same crib since they were little, and they were very familiar with each other's scent.

So when the little tree saw the burning insect, it immediately pounced on it and started playing with it.

The Burning Bug is different from other bug Pokémon. It has a furry body and feels very comfortable to touch. Xiaoshu likes it very much.

Looking at the small tree fluttering on its body, the burning insect showed a happy expression in its eyes.

Naoki sat between Gulton and Motorlizard, watching this harmonious scene with a smile.

Unlike humans, Pokémon are considered fully developed at nine months old, so Infernape is now considered an adult.

Naoki plans to wait a few years until Xiaoshu is old enough to understand and then slowly start teaching her about trainers and Pokémon.

In this way, by the time the little tree is ten years old, the incinerator should be able to evolve into a Vulcan Moth.

When Xiaoshu goes out traveling, the Vulcan Moth can also protect her for them.

In the evening, Qishu returned to the ranch after work.

After dinner, the family sat on the sofa and watched the small tree crawling on the carpet.

"According to the time, Xiaoshu is more than nine months old now. He should be able to be weaned, right?" Qishu said.

Naoki nodded. In the Pokémon world, children are mostly weaned between 8 and 12 months after birth.

Of course, all this depends on how your baby grows.

A child like Xiaoshu, who is healthy, full of vitality and seems to have endless energy every day, can start weaning.

"In that case, let's start tomorrow!" Naoki said.

So the next morning, when Xiaoshu opened her eyes from her sleep and whined for milk, Naoki brought her a big can of Moo Moo fresh milk.

Because Qishu has to go to work every day, in order to feed Xiaoshu, she stores breast milk in bottles in advance.

When Xiaoshu is hungry, Naoki will feed her.

Now, the milk in the bottle has been replaced by milk in a large milk can.

As soon as Xiaoshu started drinking from the bottle, he realized something was wrong.

She looked at the bottle with her cute big eyes, and then started yelling "Ahhh" at Naoki.

Naoki said seriously: "Drink it! This is specially prepared for you by your mother!"

Xiaoshu took another sip with some uncertainty, and found that it still had that unfamiliar taste.

Dad is lying!

Tears immediately began to well up in her big eyes, and she threw the bottle aside, as if she was about to burst into tears the next moment.

Naoki: "..."

"My mother has gone to work at the gym. Now this is the only milk we have at home. What should we do?" Naoki pretended to be embarrassed.

The next second, the little tree started crying.

Yan Emperor, Water God and Thunder God who were watching the scene all became nervous when they saw this scene.

They gathered around and circled the small tree trying to attract her attention.

Yan Di even cast a disapproving look at Naoki.

Zhishu's eyebrows jumped, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: Are you Xiaoshu's father, or is he Xiaoshu's father? !
