Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 630: It was a rainy day, and the family hid at home to sleep
Kapu Tete, the patron saint of Akala Island, is considered by the locals to be the embodiment of nature.

Both it and the other island guardians are particularly sensitive to natural energy.

After sensing the emergence of that energy, Tapu Tete flashed and disappeared from the spot, chasing after the source of the energy.

The next second, its figure appeared above a grassland next to Ohana Town.

This seems to be a deserted pasture, but new life is slowly growing on this deserted land.

Tapu Butterfly looked closely and saw a group of Pokémon with strong auras and several humans filled with rich natural energy on that land.

"Diedie..." That is...

Kapu Diedie looked at the scene in disbelief. It had never seen a human being like that before!
Where did they come from?

With doubts, Tapu Dede began to observe the other party.

Naoki below did not notice that his actions attracted the local guardian deity, Kapu Chou Chou.

After seeing the coconut tree growing, the little tree clapped excitedly, and his eyes radiated admiration.

"Wow!"

"This is just the beginning!" Naoki said to her, "Watch out!"

He grabbed a handful of seeds and threw them onto the ground in front of him.

Then, the mount goats mobilized their own power.

A large amount of rich grass energy surged out from their bodies and poured into the seeds. The next second, a magical scene appeared.

Suddenly, the whole field burst into a dazzling green light. In the light, seedlings broke out of their shells and began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

They continued to grow taller and taller, and in the blink of an eye, a coconut grove full of fruits appeared in front of Naoki.

This magical scene immediately attracted Xiaoshu's full attention. She let out a cry of surprise, raised her head, and stared at the scene blankly.

Naoki smiled slightly and asked, "How is it? Dad is awesome, right?"

But the little tree suddenly stretched out its tender little hand, pointed to the sky and said, "Woo Wow!"

"Is there something in the sky?" Naoki looked in the direction of her finger, and the next second, he saw a pink figure there.

Is that... Tapu Diede?
Naoki was slightly stunned. How could it appear here?

Seeing that he was discovered, Tapu Tete was not panicked at all. Instead, he took the initiative to approach and came in front of Naoki and Koki.

Naoki was a little alert. He stood up, held Xiaoshu in his arms, and looked at Tapu Chou Chou across from him from a distance.

If he remembered correctly, Pokémon like Tapu Butterfree had an innocent personality, but also had a cruel side.

Its favorite game is fighting, but because it has great strength, if the opponent's Pokémon is not strong enough, it will beat the opponent to the near death.

And its character is not very gentle.

In the anime, when Tapu Cleaver saw that Satoshi's Rock Dog was injured, she tried to heal it with her own scale powder.

However, after discovering that his scale powder had no effect on the werewolf's injuries, Tapu Tete immediately became very angry and even attacked Gladion and Lizzie's werewolf mane beside him.

To sum up, Kapu Tete's temperament is somewhat unstable.

Naoki was afraid that either he or Xiaoshu would fail to satisfy Tapu Tete and make it angry.

However, the scene before him was far beyond his expectations.

Instead of being angry, Kapu Diede looked very happy.

It circled around the coconut grove, then turned its gaze to the three goats riding not far away, and made a sound that represented excitement.

"Diedie!"

Naoki was slightly startled.

Tapu Diedie flew back into the air and began to dance around the pasture.

Then, waves of scales flashing with light pink light floated from its body. This dreamy and beautiful scene made the little tree exclaim "Wow".

At this moment, Naoki reacted instantly.

That's the scale powder of Kapu Diedie!
It is said that the scale powder of Tapu Butterfly can revitalize the body and has the effect of healing injuries and diseases, which is of great benefit to humans and Pokémon.

"So, is Tapu Chou Chou blessing us?" Naoki couldn't help but feel sorry for his bad guess because of his worry.

"Thank you, Tapu Tete!" he said loudly to Tapu Tete in the sky.

"Diedie!" Xiaoshu tried hard to imitate his father's words.

The Tapu Tete in the sky seemed very happy. It glanced at the two people below, then turned around and left happily.

"What happened?" Qi Shu came late and walked out of the house.

"The island guardian of Akara Island was attracted by the natural energy emitted by its mount goat when it ripened the crops," Naoki explained.

"Guardian of the island?!" Qishu was very surprised.

Naoki nodded. "It's the legendary Pokémon that lives in this area! There are four large islands in the Alola region, and each island has a guardian god. They appear and disappear mysteriously, and live on this land together with humans."

"That sounds amazing!" Qishu's eyes lit up.

Naoki thought to himself that compared to that existence, the Tapu family were just minor characters!

Ultra Necrozma, the glorious god of the Alola region, has abilities that surpass almost all legendary Pokémon, and its strength has been raised to an astonishing level.

It is said that in the entire Pokémon world, only Arceus can be on par with it. Of course, this only applies to Arceus' clones.

"Okay, let mommy play with you for a while. Daddy is going to plant the remaining seeds in the ground!"

Naoki handed the small tree to Qishu's arms, then turned around and began to plan the remaining fields.

He currently has seeds of six crops, namely guava, mango, banana, pineapple, coffee beans and sugarcane.

Coffee beans are not a rare item. Naoki had grown some on the ranch before. He had even used coffee beans to make hand-ground coffee, but most of them were sold to Aoki and he didn't use them much himself.

As for the coconut trees that have just been planted, as well as the guavas, mangoes, bananas, pineapples, etc. in hand, these are all tropical fruits. It is very nice to grow them for Gulerton to taste.

Thinking of this, Naoki began to plan the layout of the orchard.

Coconut trees are tall and will block the sunlight, so they need to be separated from other fruit trees by a certain distance...

In that case, then let’s do this!
Bananas are planted next to pineapples, and mangoes are planted next to guavas.

With the help of several Pokémon, lush fruit forests grew in the fields in a short while.

The branches of every fruit tree are hung with plump and heavy fruits.

Golden bananas and pineapples, emerald green guavas, pink mangoes, and green coconuts.

If other people saw this scene, they would surely exclaim that it was a miracle!
At noon that day, Naoki used these tropical fruits to prepare a sumptuous fruit feast for everyone.

Coconut milk, coconut meat and coconut milk, even the little tree who had just finished the weaning period drank a big glass of it in one breath.

In the afternoon, Naoki had nothing to do, so he simply moved a few sun chairs from home and placed them on the ranch to enjoy the afternoon sunshine in the Alola region.

Blue sky, white clouds, wind blowing through the grassland, warm weather, endless fruits...

This kind of vacation life is really relaxing!
Lying on the beach chair, Naoki, who had been busy all morning, felt his eyelids fighting each other like crazy, and finally he couldn't help falling into a deep sleep.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will have to spend the entire winter in this environment.

However, sometimes accidents always come so unexpectedly.

That night, a tropical storm passed through, bringing heavy rainfall.

Naoki was sleeping when he suddenly heard the sound of heavy rain outside.

The wind blew the window, and rain splashed into the room from outside, and a slight chill spread. Naoki suddenly woke up.

"It's raining!"

"Huh?" Qi Shu woke up from his sleep in a daze.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Naoki get out of bed and close the window.

Suddenly, the rain was blocked outside the window.

Qishu sat up from the bed and looked at the heavy rain outside the window.

Naoki thought of the group of Pokémon in the ranch, and quickly put on his clothes and shoes, and said to Qishu, "I'll go call Butterfree and the others in."

Gulden and Babu Tubo were awakened by their noise and opened their eyes.

"Ah gah?"

"You guys continue to sleep." Naoki touched the heads of the Guldens and said to them, "I'll go call everyone to the room."

"Ah gah!"

"Bamo!"

Naoki went downstairs in a hurry. Babu Tubo leaned against the window and looked at the rainy night outside. The dripping rain hit the window, making a crackling sound, and streaks of water slid down the glass.

It has been a long time since it rained so heavily on the ranch. In Naoki's memory, he had only encountered such weather in the first two years after he traveled through time.

As a large number of Dragonites and Hackrons joined the ranch later, the weather there has been pleasant and there has never been a storm.

Naoki went downstairs and came outside with a flashlight.

This ranch does not have a glass greenhouse. It is fine when it does not rain, but when it rains, Butterfree and Honeybee have nowhere to hide and can only hide under the eaves.

When Naoki came outside, he saw Butterfree and three bees hiding under the eaves, watching the heavy rain not far away.

There were a few drops of water on their wings, and it seemed that they were wet by the rain.

Seeing Naoki coming out, Butterfree's eyes lit up: "Fu-yi?"

"Come in!" Naoki opened the door and motioned for a few Pokémon to come in. If it weren't for Butterfree and the others not liking to stay indoors all the time, Naoki would have wanted them to settle in the living room as well.

"Fuyi!"

The Butterfree happily agreed. They flapped their wings and flew into the living room in an orderly manner, landing on the handrail of the wooden stairs.

Naoki went out with a flashlight and walked along the wet grass.

Soon, he saw the Mount Goats and Braided Sheep huddled together in the pasture.

There were no sheds on this ranch, only a grassland surrounded by wooden fences. The goats huddled together in the rain looked very pitiful.

Naoki immediately guided them and said, "Mount goat, braided goat, follow me to the room first!"

"Meh!"

Hearing this, a large group of Pokémon immediately stood up and, under the guidance of Naoki, ran quickly towards the house, entering the living room one after another.

Xiaoshu was still sleeping soundly, and Qishu had already woken up. She saw that the Pokémon were all wet, so she quickly took out a clean blanket to help them wipe the rain off their bodies.

Then find a lava worm and let it use its hot air as a hair dryer to help dry the wet fur on the mount goat and the braided sheep.

At the ranch, Naoki went to check on the big milk tank and the salt stone giants again.

The big milk can has a special cow hut, which is covered with a thick layer of hay. At this moment, several big milk cans and salt stone giants are hiding inside and watching the heavy rain outside.

The interior space of the cow shed is a bit small, and it is already full just to accommodate the large milk tank and the salt stone giant.

Seeing this, Naoki thought, "It looks like I have to go to Ohana Town tomorrow to find some craftsmen to rebuild some huts and shacks."

He should have thought of these things earlier, but now it seems that he was careless.

After confirming the situation of the Pokémon on the ranch, Naoki returned home.

The living room was already packed with a large group of Pokémon.

Braided sheep, goat mount, Butterfree, three bees...

In addition to Eruption, Saifuhao, Wudao Xiongshi, and Motorcycle Lizard who heard the noise and came downstairs to check, the entire living room was now filled with Pokémon.

Everyone huddled together and Naoki closed the door. He was about to speak when the light in the living room clicked and the power went out.

The whole living room immediately darkened.

Naoki: "..."

Qishu: "..."

The fire from the lava worms illuminated the surroundings in red. Naoki found a candle and lit it. The weak candlelight illuminated a small area.

"It may be that the house's electrical circuit is aging." Naoki comforted.

He should have thought of it earlier. The house was in disrepair and he should have checked it in advance before moving in.

It was raining heavily outside, and the Pokémon were huddled together in the living room around a small candle.

Although the environment was a bit bad, these Pokémon seemed very happy.

Because it feels so magical!

Everyone gathered together, the house kept the rain out, the room was warm, and even without any light it made people feel safe.

Naoki originally wanted to check the house's electrical circuit to see if he could fix it, but when he saw these Pokémon looking so comfortable and happy, he gave up the idea.

Forget it, let’s wait until the rain stops and the day comes before checking!

As for now...

This kind of environment and atmosphere are perfect for telling stories.

When Naoki proposed this idea, a group of Pokémon immediately turned their eyes to him.

There were expressions of happiness and anticipation on their faces.

"Boni!" Uruk-chan cheered. He really wanted to hear Naoki tell a story.

"Yeah~"

"Ouch~"

"..."

The rest of the Pokémon followed suit.

Qishu watched the scene with a smile on her face. After all this commotion, she was no longer sleepy, so she simply sat among the furry Eevees and listened to Naoki's story with great curiosity.

Naoki looked around and saw the looks of everyone. He then cleared his throat and said slowly, "Then you better listen carefully."

A group of Pokémon looked over expectantly.

"Once upon a time, there was a mansion deep in a forest. An old man lived there with his twin grandson and granddaughter, and two Pokémon. They lived a very happy life."

"But suddenly one day, a young man came here. He was an entrepreneur and the old man's disciple."

"He decided to stay for a few years in order to receive instruction from a teacher, and because he was good at drawing, the twins immediately fell in love with him."

"But a few months later, in order to obtain the precious Pokémon with the girl and the password to the mansion's safe, the young man decided to kill everyone except the girl."

"So, on a stormy night with lightning and thunder, the young man secretly poisoned the food of the boy and the old man, intending to kill them..."
