Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 621 The Adventures of Little Tree

It's a brand new day again. The warm autumn morning light shines on the pasture. Pokémon wake up from their sleep one after another, shake their heads, and play in the dewy grass in the morning light.

The air is filled with the sweet scent of rosemary and the fields are laden with fruit and lush with leaves.

Several wild bird Pokémon stopped on the roof tiles to rest, looking at the prosperous scene in the pasture below with a little curiosity.

At this moment, the sound of a door opening was heard in the house.

The bird Pokémon lowered their heads and saw a man walking out of the house with a fiery red Pokémon. He turned around and said to the people in the house:
"We're out!"

A female voice was heard from the room.

"Go ahead and be safe on the road!"

Zhishu stretched out his hand and pinched the face of Xiaoshu who was in Qishu's arms, and said to her: "Xiaoshu, listen to your mother at home, okay? Daddy has to go to work."

However, Xiaoshu was too young to understand what going to work meant, but she could feel that her father was about to leave.

His big, round eyes were immediately filled with tears, and he stretched out his hands pitifully, wanting his father to hold him.

"Get down!"

Naoki: "..."

Today is Saturday, the day when the Brewing Light Gym is closed, and it is also the time for him to go to Blueberry Academy for classes.

But now seeing his daughter like this, Naoki feels very helpless.

"Dad has promised others. You must fulfill your promise to others. Burning Bug and Entei will play with you, okay?" He asked, "Otherwise, let Dragonite carry you and fly high."

Xiaoshu felt even more aggrieved and burst into tears. She didn’t want her father to leave!

Qishu quickly coaxed the child: "Mommy and Electric Belly Frog will play with you, okay? Daddy has to go out to work and will be back soon."

However, the little tree was very determined.

She was still very young and couldn't crawl or make any sounds, so she would sleep every time Naoki went out to work, and when she woke up, a group of Pokémon would take care of her.

Now Xiaoshu is almost ten months old, and he has gained some understanding of the Pokémon and relatives around him.

Every day before, Naoki would stay at the ranch to accompany her. Now that he suddenly has to leave, Naoki, who is still a child, feels a great panic.

"My child, I stayed at home every day before, but I never saw you clinging to me so much." Naoki poked her little face and said, "Daddy won't leave. Daddy will always be by your side."

Xiaoshu felt relieved and his crying gradually became quieter.

Seeing this, Naoki coaxed the child for a while, then asked, "Would you like to go play with Motorlizard?"

The motorcycle lizard beside him nodded: "Gaao!"

Xiaoshu looked at Naoki, then at Motorlizard, and reluctantly agreed.

Naoki gently placed her on the back of the Motorcycle Lizard, and after she held it firmly, the Motorcycle Lizard spread its limbs and started running.

Children's attention is easily diverted. With this lead, Xiaoshu was completely absorbed in the activity of riding the motorcycle lizard.

Seeing this scene, Naoki breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Qishu: "Okay, then I'll go to work."

"Go!"

Qishu nodded. She didn't have to go to work today and planned to stay at home and spend time with her children.

"Gulden, let's go!"

"Ah gah!"

Naoki rode on the Gulden and slowly rose into the sky. The scene on the earth gradually became smaller. Being high in the sky, Naoki saw the brand new town of Ziqin in the distance, as well as the newly built port of Ziqin Town. Cargo ships from all over the world were docked at the port.

Seeing this scene, Naoki felt very emotional.

When he first traveled here, Ziqin Town was still a small seaside town, but now it has begun to take shape.

Naoki withdrew his gaze and rode on Gulden towards Blueberry Academy.

*
In the ranch, Motorcycle Lizard took Xiaoshu to his favorite flower field.

It used its head to push aside the flowers, then crawled inside, slowly moving among the brightly blooming flowers.

As expected, the little tree's attention was attracted by the beautiful flowers and the three bees collecting honey above.

Blue sky, white clouds and flower fields.

There was a gleam of curiosity and childlike innocence in the little tree's eyes. Looking at the scene around it that looked like an oil painting, the little tree experienced for the first time what "beauty" meant.

But because she was too young, she couldn't express some of her feelings or words, so she could only clap her hands excitedly to express her feelings in this way.

The motorcycle lizard carrying its little master was also very happy to see the little master's appearance.

At this moment, the motor lizard raised its head and saw several butterflies flying through the flowers and finally landing on a flower.

"Gah!"

The motor lizard's eyes lit up. If it could catch the butterfly and give it to its little master, the little master would definitely be very happy!

Then the Motorcycle Lizard stopped, put its little master on the soft grass, let her sit there, and said:
"Gaao~" (Wait for me here~)

The little tree blinked in confusion.

The Motorcycle Lizard turned around and began to catch butterflies among the flowers.

Looking at the funny actions of the motorcycle lizard, Xiaoshu was amused and laughed and clapped his hands.

But soon, the motorcycle lizard disappeared among the flowers.

Everything around gradually became quiet. Seeing that there was no movement, the little trees' laughter and movements also stopped.

She looked in the direction where the Motorcycle Lizard disappeared and blinked blankly.

After a moment, the little tree seemed to be attracted by something. It turned over and crawled in one direction.

She walked through the dim flowers and climbed for an unknown amount of time before suddenly a bright light appeared in front of her.

The small tree pushed aside the flowers, and the next second, the surrounding scene became bright.

What comes into view is a pavilion built with shelves, with clusters of flowers and vines covering the entire shelf, and in the middle, there is an iron tea table and several chairs.

On that chair, a Pokémon that looks like a rabbit but has a very big head is sitting on the chair.

He held a cup of tea in his right hand, basking in the warm autumn sun, sipping the fragrance of tea elegantly and comfortably.

Xiaoshu was immediately attracted by this scene.

She still maintained her crawling posture, raised her head, and stared blankly at the Pokémon drinking tea.

At this moment, the other party seemed to have sensed something and turned his huge head to look over here.

*
On the other side of the flower field, after a lot of effort, the motor lizard finally caught a beautiful butterfly.

It looked at the butterfly flapping its wings gently in its hand and felt very happy.

"Gah!"

The little owner will definitely like this butterfly!

The smiling face of the little master appeared in his mind, and the motorcycle lizard turned around and ran back.

But when he returned to the place, he was shocked to see that it was now empty.

The little master is missing!

The motorbike lizard instantly became nervous, and its claws loosened. The butterfly it had just caught immediately took the opportunity to escape and soon disappeared into the depths of the flowers.

Self-blame, tension, fear and other emotions surged into his heart. Motorcycle Lizard tried to stay calm and frantically looked around.

It asked the three bees that were collecting nectar not far away, but the three bees shook their heads to indicate that they didn't see it.

"Quaao..."

The Motorcycle Lizard immediately panicked.

Seeing this, the three bees stopped collecting nectar and prepared to help search around.

Yan Di, Shui Jun and Lei Gong sat on the outskirts of the garden. Because they were too big, they could not enter the garden. If they entered, they would trample on the flowers that Naoki had worked so hard to plant.

Therefore, after watching the motor lizard and the small tree enter the flowers, they stayed here.

The north wind brought the message, and Suicune suddenly felt a sense of panic from it.

It stood up and said to the two beasts beside it: "It seems something has happened."

Sure enough, the next second, Emperor Yan noticed several bees flying around the flower field, as if they were looking for something.

Yan Di stood up suddenly, called a three-bee, and asked in a dignified tone: "What happened?"

The three bees flapped their wings in panic and replied, "Buzz!" (The small tree disappeared!)

what? !

Hearing this, the three sacred beasts immediately became nervous. Among them, Thunder God frowned and almost rushed out to look for it, but fortunately, Suicune stopped him.

"When did it happen?" asked Sui-kun.

Three Bees: "Buzz!" (Just now!)
Hearing this, Yan Emperor bent down, moved his nose, and carefully distinguished the scent of the small tree from the dense and chaotic fragrance of flowers.

"The breath has not disappeared, it is nearby!" said Emperor Yan.

They followed the scent all the way forward and encountered a self-blaming Motorlizard, so a group of Pokémon went to look for it together.

Soon, they passed through the huge flower field and came to the center.

There, a group of Pokémon saw Treelet sitting on the wrought iron tea table, playing with a teacup, and giggling at the tea of ​​BudCrown, Pot of the Blight, and Tea of ​​the Teacup.

The three sacred beasts stopped.

The motorcycle lizard was extremely surprised and rushed forward: "Gaao!"

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Xiaoshu seemed very happy to see the motorcycle lizard.

The Motorcycle Lizard heaved a sigh of relief.

"Quaao..."

When the Pokémon were in such a bad state, combined with the fact that Little Tree had just crawled out of the bushes alone, the Bud Crown quickly understood what had happened.

He showed a loving smile on his face and said to the Pokémon:

"Don't worry, Xiaoshu is just here to play with me for a while."

The three holy beasts felt relieved, because the Pokémon in front of them, named Budcrown, was even more powerful than their Lord Ho-Oh.

As long as He is there, the little tree will be safe no matter what.

Although the crisis was resolved, Motor Lizard still felt a little unhappy.

If it weren't for it, this wouldn't have happened.

"Quaao..."

Feelings of self-blame surged into Motor Lizard's heart, and he felt very sad.

Qishu soon learned what happened on the ranch.

She looked at the self-blaming look on the Motor Lizard's face and couldn't help but reach out and touch its head, comforting it:

"It's okay, Motorcycle Lizard. Look, isn't Xiaoshu fine? And you went to catch butterflies because you wanted to make her happy!"

"Gaao..." The motorcycle lizard was still a little listless.

Seeing this, Qishu thought about it carefully, and then sent the little tree into the arms of Motorcycle Lizard.

Xiaoshu put her two little hands around Motorcycle Lizard's neck, and Motorcycle Lizard subconsciously hugged her.

Qi Shu asked, "Will you let that happen again in the future?"

The Motorcycle Lizard was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook its head: "Gaao!" Of course not!
A smile appeared on Qi Shu's face: "So, this is all right!"

The motorcycle lizard was stunned for a moment, but after being comforted by Qi Shu, its worries immediately disappeared.

That’s right, as long as it protects its little master in the future and never lets that kind of thing happen again, that’ll be all!

At this moment, Motorcycle Lizard made a decision in his heart.

It will protect its little master until he grows up!

Not far away, the three sacred beasts watched this scene silently.

They didn't get too involved.

Just because they can't stay with the little tree forever.

Because there are still many missions in this world waiting for them as members of the Phoenix Guard to do.

Even though they are reluctant to let go, when the little tree grows up and becomes the Rainbow Warrior, the time for them to say goodbye to her will come.

After that, they won't be able to stay with the little tree forever. Maybe they will meet again in the future, but before that, there must be new Pokémon to protect the little tree for them.

Blueberry Academy, in the classroom.

Naoki stood on the podium, looking at the students below, and told them about the knowledge of the weather tactics system in Pokémon battles.

"...There are many types of weather-related moves, such as Sunny Day, Pray for Rain, and Sandstorm, and each type of weather can be combined with certain Pokémon, characteristics, and moves."

"For example, on rainy days, the power of water-attribute moves will be greatly increased, while the power of fire-attribute moves will be affected by the water energy in the air, thus reducing its power."

"Not only that, in rainy days, moves like thunder and storm will greatly increase the hit rate, thus defeating the opponent in one fell swoop."

"Besides that, does any of you know which Pokémon's characteristics can be used in conjunction with rainy days?" Naoki asked.

The students below looked thoughtful, and Naoki waited patiently.

Soon, one of the students raised his hand.

"I know, teacher! The lotus leaf boy with the Rain Plate characteristic will slowly recover his strength on rainy days!"

"Good, what else?" Naoki gave the student an encouraging look.

"There's also Psyduck with the Swim Free feature! This feature will make Psyduck faster!" said another student.

"That's right." Naoki nodded in satisfaction. He motioned for the two students to sit down, and then continued, "In fact, in addition to these two Pokémon, Lotus Leaf Boy and Psyduck, there are many other Pokémon in this world that can react to rainy days."

"Those Pokémon are waiting for us to discover and use their special moves in battles, not only on rainy days, but also on sunny days, hail days, and sandstorm days. All we can do is learn slowly and make reasonable use of the Pokémon in our hands to formulate tactics."

The students' eyes sparkled. This knowledge is so useful! Mr. Naoki is indeed a champion-level trainer. It's great to be able to take his class!

"Teacher Naoki!" A student raised his hand.

"What's wrong?" Naoki raised his eyebrows.

"Um... can you have a Pokémon battle with us?" the boy said shyly.

"Want to fight me?" Naoki was a little surprised. He quickly understood what these kids were thinking and couldn't help but said with a smile, "Sure!"

After a brief thought, Naoki said, "How about this? Next week, I will hold a competition in the academy to provide everyone with a chance to fight with me. The top three who can hold on to my Pokémon the longest will receive a gift from me!"

Gift?

Hearing this, the students immediately opened their eyes wide, their expressions full of anticipation.

"It doesn't matter what kind of Pokémon you use, what moves you use, or even if you carry some special items," Naoki added.

"That's great!" Wu Li in the crowd clenched his fists excitedly.

He must train seriously during these seven days and get a gift from Mr. Naoki!

Danyu has also rarely shown any fighting spirit. I wonder what gift Mr. Naoki will give?

After class, Naoki returned to the office.

He sat in his seat and chatted with Qi Shu about the situation in the ranch on his Rotom phone. After learning about what happened between Motorlizard and Xiao Shu, he couldn't help but laugh:

"The motor lizard is feeling really bad about himself because he almost lost the little tree!"

Gu Ledun: "Ah, geez..."

Naoki asked about the follow-up situation again, and only felt relieved when he learned from Qishu that Motor Lizard's mood had recovered.

After a class, Naoki felt a little thirsty, so he got up and got a glass of water.

On his way back, he suddenly heard two teachers next door chatting there.

"It seems that Teacher Anya didn't come to work today!"

"I heard that something happened in the Kalos region, and Teacher Anya stayed at home to protect her family."

"Carlos? Hey, isn't super evolution popular over there recently? What happened?"

"You don't know? I heard that even the champions showed up! An organization called Team Flare wants to destroy the world. The former champion of the Hoenn region, Daigo Tsurugi, teamed up with the champion of the Kanto region, Ryudo, and the champion of the Kalos region, Kaluna, to stop Team Flare. That's what happened yesterday."

"That Flare team wanted to capture legendary Pokémon, but ended up destroying the ecological balance of the Kalos region and causing riots. Fortunately, those champions were there."

"Oh, I don't know what's happened in recent years. There are more and more crazy people. Isn't it good to live a good life with Pokémon? Either they want to destroy the world or they want to rule the world." A teacher sighed.

Naoki: "..."

He thought things would get better by next year.

There are no evil organizations in the Alola region. Next is the Galar region, and then it is the turn of the Padia region where he is.

But these three regions are different from other regions. There are no real evil organizations, only some gangsters and fanatical fans.

However, what concerned him more was that the plot in the Kalos region ended early. Was it because of the reason he revealed the plot to Daigo last time?
