Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 646 Both sons and daughters
“It’s my turn, it’s my turn, it’s my turn!”

As soon as Naoki returned to the ranch, he received a message from Giratina.

Apparently, it's also watching the World Championships these days.

After seeing Butterfree, Motor Lizard, and Frosty the Frost win, Giratina couldn't help it anymore and sent a message to Naoki impatiently, wanting to go on the field.

It also wants to be like Frosty the Frost, crush its opponents on the highly anticipated super stage and become the strongest Pokémon in the world!

Naoki: "..."

[Giratina: It's my turn to play in the next game, right?! ]

Naoki twitched his lips, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Given Giratina's strength, if it appeared at this time, it would probably just kill indiscriminately. In this way, other Pokémon would have no chance to show their abilities.

Fortunately, he was very familiar with Giratina's temperament. At this time, he only needed to say a few words to make Giratina stop mentioning this matter.

Thinking of this, Naoki sent a message to Giratina using the Rotom phone.

[Naoki: The real masters usually appear at the end.]

As expected, after these words were spoken, Giratina immediately stopped mentioning the upcoming appearance.

Naoki put away the Rotom phone, glanced at the time, and found that it was almost noon, so he prepared to prepare lunch for everyone.

At this moment, several young people wearing Padilla College uniforms and with excited faces suddenly arrived at the ranch.

As soon as they saw Naoki, they shouted excitedly, "Mr. Naoki!"

"Hmm?" Naoki looked at them. He had some impression of these people. They had come to the ranch to challenge the trial before. "Why are you here?"

Several people clenched their fists excitedly: "Mr. Naoki, we watched your game in the World Championships. We are your fans. We want to say, you must do your best in the next game!"

Naoki was slightly stunned, then smiled and nodded: "Thank you very much for your support, I think I will."

"Yes!" Several people nodded vigorously: "We must let the trainers from other regions see how powerful we are in Padiya!"

Several of them looked like they couldn't wait to let trainers from other regions experience the trials at Naoki Ranch.

Naoki: "..."

What kind of mentality is this? You suffered yourself, so you want others to experience it too?
Despite this, Naoki agreed.

When we were young, who didn’t have a dream of traveling through the Pokémon world, challenging gyms with Pokémon, participating in league meetings, and defeating everyone to reach the top of the world?
Although his experience is different from those trainers, he has never challenged a gym or participated in a league meeting, but in terms of strength, he will definitely not lose to them!
It’s decided, after defeating Master Eight, he will retire and return to the ranch to retire here in peace!
Naoki is already 26 years old this year, which is considered to be an older trainer.

In a few years, he will be 30 years old. Time flies so fast, right? Naoki was filled with emotion.

It seemed that those trainers came only to refuel Naoki. After refueling, they said goodbye to him, turned around and left the ranch, and ran towards Ziqin Town.

Naoki watched them go away. At this moment, Xiaoshu saw his father coming back from afar, so he asked Yan Di to take him to fly over here.

"Dad!" the little tree shouted.

Naoki turned around and saw his daughter, a smile appeared on his face.

The little tree opened its arms towards him.

Naoki picked up Xiaoshu from Yan Di and rushed home with her: "Do you miss your dad?"

However, Xiaoshu clenched his fists and shouted, "Dad, come on!"

Naoki immediately raised his eyebrows, his face full of surprise: "Did you watch Dad's game too?"

Xiaoshu didn't quite understand what the competition meant.

It was Naoki's sister Ai Guanshi who came to greet him and explained:

"Ai Ai~" (Everyone gathered in the living room to watch Naoki's game in the morning. Xiao Shu also watched with everyone. She saw someone on TV shouting "Come on!" and then she learned to do it!)

Not only that, Xiaoshu thought that Naoki was trapped inside the TV!
She ran to the TV, grabbed the screen, pointed at Naoki and said, "This is Dad!"

Naoki couldn't help but laugh: "Dad will definitely cheer for you! When you grow up and participate in this kind of competition, dad will definitely go to the scene with mom to cheer for you!"

Xiao Shu didn't understand the meaning of this sentence yet. She followed the words in a daze: "Come on!"

At lunch time, Qishu came back.

When she heard about Xiaoshu cheering for Zhishu, she couldn't help but pick up her daughter, poked her little head, and said jokingly: "Whose precious daughter is this? She is so smart!"

The little tree was amused and started laughing.

Qishu looked at Zhishu again and said to him: "By the way, Mom and Dad are planning to come to the ranch to see Xiaoshu this afternoon."

"Okay!" Naoki nodded and said, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do, so I can entertain them at the ranch."

"Then it's up to you!"

"Please, we're a family and we're not going to say anything." Blueberry Academy was closed and his next game was still several days away, so Naoki could just stay at the ranch.

"I love you!" Qishu came over and kissed Naoki on the cheek, then ran aside with a smile.

Seeing this, Xiaoshu looked at his father, then at his mother, then stood up with the help of the sofa, and walked in front of Zhishu, imitating Qishu's behavior.

"mua!"

Naoki's face was immediately covered with saliva.

Naoki: "..."

Then, Xiaoshu came closer to Qishu, held her shoulders and wiped his snot on her face.

Qishu: "..."

Before the couple could come to their senses, they saw that Xiaoshu had been attracted by the Motorcycle Lizard and Yan Di.

The little tree mua kissed all the Pokémon in the house, with the main goal of treating all Pokémon equally.

The Pokémon that were kissed were very happy, especially the three sacred beasts. They didn't even feel disgusted when the little tree had snot and saliva on its face. Instead, they licked the little tree's "fur" with their tongues like a big cat.

This is the main way for cat Pokémon to express friendliness. Even the three legendary Pokémon still have this habit.

Looking at this scene, Naoki couldn't help but sigh: "This kid will definitely become an excellent trainer in the future!"

Qi Shu was unable to react for a moment: "Huh?"

Naoki: "Did you see that? She treats every Pokémon equally. From now on, Xiaoshu will definitely be able to handle the relationships between the Pokémon in the team well."

Qi Shu: “…” What does this have to do with anything?

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Naoki's mother-in-law and father-in-law came to the ranch.

The two old people love the little tree very much. When they have nothing to do on weekdays, they like to use their Rotom phones to make video calls to see the little tree and chat with it.

Therefore, Xiaoshu knew early on that she had such a pair of grandparents who loved her so much.

When Xiaoshu saw the two old men coming, he recognized them at a glance.

She opened her mouth and wanted to call someone excitedly, but for a moment she forgot how to address him.

Naoki reminded with a smile: "Grandpa and grandma brought you gifts again, are you happy?"

"Happy!" Xiaoshu knew how to call people, and she ran towards them happily: "Grandpa, Grandma!"

"Hey!" The two old people came forward with a smile and picked up Xiaoshu: "Xiaoshu, do you miss your grandma?"

"Yes!" Every time her grandma and grandpa came over, they would bring her a lot of delicious food!

Hearing this, the two old people were very happy.

Naoki stood aside and said with a smile, "Mom and Dad, come in and sit down!" Qishu's father and mother nodded, followed Naoki to the living room, and sat down on the sofa with Xiaoshu in their arms.

The younger sister Ai served them tea. The two old people played with Xiaoshu for a while, and then turned their attention to Naoki.

Qishu's father looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Naoki was a little surprised and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, Dad? Is there something on my face?"

Qi Shu's father quickly shook his head: "No."

Qishu's mother burst out laughing: "Your dad wanted to cheer you on! He has been watching your games in front of the TV every time these days. He was so excited to see you win!"

"He brags to the old men in the neighborhood every day, saying that his son-in-law is already a big winner in the world championships. The other old men are so envious!"

Qi Shu's father was embarrassed after being exposed: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't!"

Naoki: "..."

But soon, Qishu's father realized that his son-in-law had already seen through his stubbornness.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

He simply gave up and asked, "Are you confident that you can make it to the Masters level?"

Naoki: "I'm about 90% sure!" He said it very conservatively.

"Okay, okay!" Qi Shu's father was very excited: "When the time comes, you must do your best!"

Naoki smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dad. Gulerton and I will work hard."

Naoki chatted with his father-in-law about this year's World Championships for a while, and then his mother-in-law came over and asked:

"Naoki, have you and Qishu considered having another child?"

Naoki was slightly stunned, then said helplessly: "Mom, Xiaoshu is still young."

While he did consider the idea of ​​having another boy, now was not the right time.

Qishu's mother nodded and said, "That's right. Xiaoshu still needs your care now. When she is four or five years old, you can have another child. Then Xiaoshu can help you take care of her brother."

Naoki: "..."

Then when Xiaoshu is ten years old, will he take his brother out traveling together?

Isn’t that the script of Qianli’s two children, Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng?

However, based on Naoki's understanding, Xiaoyao will definitely start her own business and participate in the gorgeous competition to become a Hoenn dancer.

And when Xiaosheng grows up, he may inherit Qianli's gym.

If you think about it, this seems to be a good idea.

If he also has a pair of children, his daughter will inherit her mother's gym and his son can inherit his ranch.

However, it is too early to say this now.

We will have to wait until the sapling grows up before making a decision.

The two old people stayed at the ranch until it was almost dark. Naoki wanted to let them stay here overnight, but they refused.

Before leaving, Qishu's mother pinched Xiaoshu's chubby face and asked, "Xiaoshu, do you want to go home with your grandma and play with her? I will make lots of cookies for you!"

The little tree was immediately attracted.

She had become very familiar with the two old people in the afternoon, and now that her grandparents were leaving, Xiaoshu was reluctant to let them go.

But if you go back with your grandparents, you can eat lots of cookies!

"Yes!" the little tree answered in a childish voice.

Zhishu's eyebrows jumped, "Mom, Xiaoshu will make a fuss if he can't see me and Qishu when he wakes up at night!"

She has never left home!
"Will the little tree cry?" asked Qishu's mother.

"No!" Xiaoshu answered neatly.

"Who was the one who cried all the time when I went out to buy groceries that day?" Naoki asked.

Xiaoshu understood what her father meant - her father didn't let her play with her grandmother, her father was bad!
The little tree curled its lips and immediately burst into tears.

Naoki: "..."

Seeing this, Qishu's mother picked up Xiaoshu and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm not stopping you from going. Dad is just worried that you won't be used to sleeping there. If you don't cry at night, Dad will let you go."

"Don't cry!" Xiaoshu promised with tears in his eyes.

All right, all right! Naoki had no choice but to follow his daughter's wishes and told her, "Listen to your grandma and grandpa when you get there, okay?"

Xiaoshu agreed very readily.

So, that afternoon, Xiaoshu followed the two old men to visit Niaoguang City, and before leaving, he took the burning insect away.

The little tree will not sleep well at night because there is no furry and warm burning insect to hug it.

Naoki was very sad to see his daughter leave without looking back.

Even more sad than him were the three sacred beasts who had been raising the little tree.

The three of them sat in the pasture and looked in the direction where Xiaoshu had left. They were so worried that they didn't even eat much of their dinner.

When will the little tree come back? Will the little tree forget them? What if the little tree cries and they are not there to comfort her?
Fortunately, at nine o'clock that evening, things took a turn for the better.

Naoki, who was about to go to bed, suddenly received a call from Nishikawa City.

As soon as the phone was connected, they heard Xiaoshu's loud cry.

The voice was so sad, as if they had already passed away.

"I told you, this little girl will definitely cry tonight." Naoki still remembered how she left without looking back this afternoon.

Qishu: "..."

"Wow! I want my daddy, I want my mommy!" Xiaoshu cried out on the other end of the phone.

Naoki saw that his mother-in-law and father-in-law were very anxious, but they couldn't coax Naoki into giving up.

The two old people liked Xiaoshu very much, so they wanted to take her home as a guest. However, they underestimated the severity of the crying and making trouble of a child of this age at night when she came to an unfamiliar environment.

Naoki sighed helplessly, got up, put on his clothes, and said, "Hey, wait, I'll be there soon!"

At 9:10 in the evening, Naoki rode out on his Gulden.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Naoki returned to the ranch with Xiaoshu, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms.

There were still two tear marks on the little girl's face. Naoki used his hands to wipe away her tears, then sighed helplessly.

The image of Xiaoshu stretching out his arms and wanting him to hug him immediately appeared in his mind, and he felt both distressed and angry.

This little girl, didn’t you promise not to cry at night?
Naoki gently slapped Xiaoshu's butt as she fell asleep peacefully in his arms, then gently put her into the cradle, and then put the burning bug in there.

"Go to sleep!" Naoki sighed again, then turned around and went back to rest.

Not long after he left, the three sacred beasts tiptoed through the door with their heads and walked in.

They walked quietly to Xiaoshu's crib, and only felt relieved when they saw the girl lying on the bed.

No matter what happens, as long as the little tree comes back, it's fine.
