Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 629 Alola!
At 11 am, the plane landed at Melemele Island Airport.

As soon as Naoki got off the plane with Xiaoshu in his arms, he felt his whole body becoming warm.

Sure enough, the climate in the Alola region is like spring all year round. Fortunately, the family made preparations early and changed out of their thick clothes on the plane.

"Let's go back to the ranch first! It's noon and everyone must be hungry!" said Qishu.

"That's exactly what I meant." Naoki nodded. The two of them did not stay in Haole City for long. They rode on the Gulden and flew towards Akala Island.

After about ten minutes, a country town full of western style appeared in the field of vision ahead.

Qi Shu was very surprised: "This feels like the western areas where cowboys are active in old movies!"

"Really?" Naoki smiled and said, "I felt the same way when I first came here. This place is completely different from the Padia area! We're almost there!"

After passing through Ohana Town, we came to a very open plain in front of us.

There was fertile green grass growing on the plain, with a small river winding through it. There were scattered pastures all over the plain, and looking from above, one could see many Pokémon running on the grass.

"The place in front is where we will stay this winter!" Naoki said to Qishu, pointing to an empty ranch in the distance.

"It feels empty." Qi Shu couldn't help but say,

Naoki smiled slightly, "It's going to get lively soon."

Before the Letons landed in the ranch, Naoki saw a dark-skinned boy standing on the grass in the middle of the ranch, waving at them vigorously.

That was Kachi, whom Naoki hired to help clean the ranch regularly.

Kachi seemed very happy. He waved his hands and shouted loudly:

"Mr. Naoki!"

"Long time no see, Kachi, how have you been recently?" Naoki got off Gulden and asked with a smile.

"Well, I'm having a great time. Next year, I'm going to go to Pokémon School!" said Kachi.

Next year... that is the year when Ash comes to travel in the Alola region.

By then, Ultra Beasts and the like will begin to appear in the Alola region.

Naoki's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Seeing Kachi's eyes on Qishu and Xiaoshu, he introduced them again: "This is my wife, Qishu."

"Hello, Miss Qishu!" Kachi greeted calmly.

Qi Shu also responded with a smile: "Hello, Kachi!"

"Oh, I almost forgot I have to deliver milk!" Kachi suddenly remembered that he still had things to do, and he quickly said goodbye to the two of them: "Mr. Naoki, I'm leaving first, and I'll come visit you later when I have time!"

After saying that, Kachi jumped onto the back of the Charizard beside him, waved at Naoki, and soon disappeared into the sky.

"It's Kachi!" Naoki couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Kachi's back in the sky.

He shook his head helplessly, then took off the space backpack on his body and took out a number of Poké Balls from it.

"Everyone, come out!"

Accompanied by flashes of white light, Pokémon appeared on the grass.

Motorcycle Lizard, Babu Groundhog, Frost Milk Fairy, Milky Can, Butterfree, Mount Goat, Salt Stone Giant, Dragonite, Three Bees, Love Butler Brothers and Sisters...

Qi Shu followed closely and released the Electric Belly Frog and others from the Poké Ball.

Looking at the group of Pokémon in front of him, Naoki said to them like a head of a family, "We're here. This is where we'll be staying for the rest of this time. Get familiar with the surroundings first, but don't run around. I'm going to clean the house now!"

The Pokémon looked around curiously.

The Ai Guanshi brother and sister happily said that they also wanted to go over and help.

Housekeeping is what they are best at!

Naoki said with a smile: "Then I'll leave it to you!"

The brother and sister entered the house and started cleaning.

The rest of the Pokémon began to explore this new ranch.

After giving some instructions, Naoki handed the little tree to the care of the three sacred beasts who had followed, and then took the strange tree to the room to sort out the things.

They didn't bring much with them this time, just some clothes and daily necessities.

But it was not until now that Naoki realized that there were many things missing at home.

Like washing machines, pots and pans, various seasonings...

"A lot of things are missing!" Qishu looked around and couldn't help but say.

"There's no other way. I can only go to town to buy it in the afternoon." Naoki said.

You can also buy some crop seeds.

The climate in the Alola region is warm, hot and humid all year round, with abundant rainfall. Because of this, some unique crops that are not found in the Padiya region grow here.

Like coconut trees, guava, mango, banana, pineapple, coffee beans, and sugarcane.

Coffee beans can be used to make coffee, and sugarcane can be used to make sugar. These specialties of the Alola region are often sold to other places.

When Naoki walked out of the house, he saw that the group of Pokémon outside had already found their favorite homes.

The big milk pots gathered on the pasture and ate fresh and lush grass, the braided sheep and the goats went to the fence where the Meli sheep lived, and the spirit horse swung its tail and went to the stable where the mud donkey lived...

The rest of the Pokémon were also playing happily on the grass, looking very happy.

Seeing this scene, Naoki couldn't help but think: Sure enough, his idea of ​​moving here to spend the winter was very correct.

At noon, Naoki and his wife had a simple meal, then fed the Pokémon some energy cubes and Pofen that they had prepared in advance, and then let them stay in the ranch to play.

He and Qishu went to the town to buy daily necessities.

Although Ohana Town is small, it sells a wide variety of items.

Maybe because there are many ranches around, Naoki can easily buy ranch supplies here.

Like pitchforks, watering cans, saws, milking machines, milk barrels, crop seeds, etc.

But some other daily necessities are hard to buy here.

After discussing it, the couple decided to go to Haole City on the neighboring Melemele Island.

It is the largest city in the Alola region. It is bustling with tourists coming and going from all over the place, and I'm sure there must be a wide variety of things for sale there.

After delivering the purchased items back to the ranch, the two immediately rode on Gulliver and Dragonite to Melemele Island.

The city of Haole is bustling with people coming and going, and is full of tourists from all over the world.

Naoki did not stay here for long, but went straight to the department store in the city center and started shopping.

Things like washing machines, televisions, microwaves, pans, juicers, ovens, beddings, and the like.

Naoki even bought a set of matching garden chairs, which he reserved for Raphael to have afternoon tea with.

Naoki walked in front and the saleswoman followed behind and took notes.

You don't have to worry about not being able to carry the items in a department store of this level. Their service is first-class, and as long as you pay a small fee, they will deliver your purchased items safely back to your home.

Naoki was not short of money, so he chose the delivery service very easily. The location... was the ranch on Akara Island.

"Okay, we will start packing these items and sending them over immediately." The saleswoman wrote down the address and politely arranged for the delivery staff.

After finishing everything, time had unknowingly come to two o'clock in the afternoon.

As the two walked down the street, Qi Shu asked, "Do you want to go back?"

"Let's go to the beach!" Naoki said with a smile, "Haven't you always wanted to visit the real beach in the Alola region?"

"Great!" Qi Shu was very excited.

Haole City is a real seaside city. Walking in the city, you can feel the sea breeze.

Going in the direction of the wind, you will soon see a golden beach. Looking out, you can see a sparkling, endless blue sea. Above your head is a clear blue sky. Several long-winged gulls are flying from afar and resting on a tall coconut tree. The warm sea breeze blows in. I have to say that the climate in the Alola region is really pleasant.

Looking at this scene, a strange look flashed in Qi Shu's eyes.

"How beautiful!" She suddenly noticed a beautiful sand castle on the beach and immediately exclaimed: "Wow! Who built that castle with sand? It's so beautiful!"

Naoki took a quick glance and said helplessly, "That's the Sand Devourer."

The sand-eating castle master sensed someone approaching and immediately turned around and ran away.

"Hey, let's build a sand castle too!" Qishu's eyes lit up, as if he had regained his former mischievous nature.

Naoki thought that it was a children's game, and it would be better to bring Xiaoshu to play, but looking at Qishu's look, he did not say anything about it, but said:
"You know what? You look exactly the same as when I first met you, quirky and full of energy."

Qi Shu understood what he meant and said with a smile: "People always change! And my mother always told me to be more mature and sensible, so I started to try to be a gentle mother..."

"What's the result?" Naoki raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you feel?"

Qishu wanted to say that everything was great, but seeing Naoki's expression, she immediately changed her words and said, "I'm so tired..."

Naoki was very helpless: "Actually, you don't have to change deliberately. I like you no matter what you look like."

"Really?" Qishu's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of a good idea.

Naoki suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "What do you want to do?"

Qi Shu chuckled, then moved closer and whispered something in his ear.

Naoki's face immediately turned red, and he took a step back and said, "The Pokémon are still here!"

Qishu showed a quirky smile. She looked at Gulden who was looking at them with a puzzled look on his face, and invited them with a smile:

"Gulden, let's build a sand castle together!"

……

The couple didn't play on the beach for too long, mainly because there were a group of Pokémon and small trees waiting for them at home.

So, after Qishu and Gultun built an ugly sand castle, they started on the journey back to Akala Island.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Naoki returned to the ranch.

The items he bought in the department store had been delivered to him by several monsters.

After installing and debugging the home appliances, the strong workers turned around and left.

Naoki began to tidy up the bedding and mattresses at home. After making the bed, he went to place the set of garden chairs in a corner of the ranch.

The Bud Crown King floated aside, smiling at everything Naoki did for Him.

"Okay, you can drink tea here from now on. We will stay here for three months and return to the ranch next spring." Naoki said.

The Rape Crown King nodded slightly: "I like it here very much."

Naoki smiled: "That's good!"

In the evening, Qishu prepared some simple dinner using ingredients purchased from Ohana Town.

After dinner, the two settled the Pokémon in the ranch and went to bed early to rest.

They were busy cleaning up the whole day today, and the ranch finally looked a bit like home.

The next morning, the sun was shining and the weather was very good.

All the things that need to be done have been done. The next step is to enjoy life and spend this cold winter here.

However, Naoki, who has been a rancher, has no time to sit still.

After breakfast, he took out the crop seeds he had purchased in Ohana Town and prepared to reclaim the abandoned land and plant crops.

Firstly, it would be a shame to leave it lying idle, and secondly, Naoki also wanted to grow some tropical fruits and vegetables for his own consumption.

Using these unfamiliar ingredients, you might be able to create some magical dishes that can help a Pokémon on the ranch grow.

Naoki found three moles and asked them to help till the land.

"Squeak!"

The three moles responded and then burrowed into the soil. A bulge appeared on the ground, and then the bulge began to move quickly.

The originally hard and compact soil soon became loose under the power of the three gophers.

After an entire field was plowed, Naoki took out the seeds he had prepared in advance.

At this time, the younger sister Ai Butler used her superpowers to help Xiaoshu stand and "float" towards this side.

"father!"

Naoki turned around and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"Hold!" Xiaoshu uttered a word vaguely.

"Dad is farming!" Although he said that, Naoki still held Xiaoshu in his arms, and then looked at his sister Ai Guanshi: "Leave this to me, you go and have a rest!"

"Love~"

Naoki put the little tree on the ground and let her lean on his arms. He took out the seeds and asked, "Do you want to plant the land with Dad?"

The little tree cheered loudly: "Ah!"

Naoki: “…” This silly girl.

"Come, Dad will teach you how to farm."

Naoki held Xiaoshu's hand and guided her to take out a seed from the bag.

"First, dig a hole of suitable depth in the field, then throw the seeds in and cover it with soil."

"Next, we'll have to ask your grass-type Pokémon to use their grass energy to help cultivate and care for the seeds buried in the ground."

Naoki looked at his goat mount and nodded at it.

One of the mount goats walked forward, and the next second, a strong green light burst out from its body, and then madly poured into the place where Naoki had just buried the seeds.

Then, a magical scene happened.

Suddenly, a tender seedling broke through the soil.

"Look, the seeds have sprouted!" Naoki said with a smile.

The little tree looked at the seeds, and then suddenly began to clapped its hands with joy.

"This is just the beginning!" Naoki continued: "Watch carefully and don't blink!"

As the grass energy from the mount goat continued to flow in, the seedling seemed to sense something and immediately began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its branches continued to extend and grow until they reached a height of fifteen meters. Large leaves grew on the top of the tree, and among the leaves hung a cluster of large, plump fruits.

The coconut trees are growing!

"Wow!"

The little tree was attracted by this scene. She looked up, as if she was shocked by this magical sight.

Naoki smiled and pinched her little face: "Look, the tree has grown. Isn't Pokémon amazing?"

At the same time, in a corner of Akala Island.

A Pokémon with a black upper body, dark pink tentacle-like hair, and half a pink shell on its lower body and head suddenly turned around and looked in a certain direction, as if it sensed something.

What it felt just now was... the breath of natural energy?

Such a rich natural energy!

That was a breath that Tapu Diede had never felt before.

What happened?
Kapu Diede was puzzled.
