Elf: A bad trainer starts from farming

Chapter 185 New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Wishes at the Manor (please vote for me)

In the blink of an eye, with much anticipation, the time finally came to the last day of the year.

Mingyu got up early and tidied up the house. Everyone knew that they were celebrating the New Year today, and even the little Kirby got up early to help.

Everyone has a clear division of labor, and the circle bears take the cubs around the manor to clean up all the snow and dust.

The red lanterns that had been prepared earlier were hung in every corner of the villa with the help of Gui Stone and others under the command of Ming You, and colored lights were installed inside. They would be lit when everything was ready.

Red lanterns were also hung on some fruit trees, creating a festive atmosphere everywhere. The purchased fireworks were placed around the villa to avoid causing fires and were kept far away from the trees in the manor.

Originally, Mingyou wanted to set off the Kongming lanterns with everyone, but in the end he gave up. In this place in Beishang Township, a gust of wind might burn it down.

Xiao Zhao and Riolu prepared the ingredients needed for today in the kitchen. They cut them all and steamed the things that should be steamed in advance. For example, Mingyu wanted to eat the sticky cake she made.

It wasn't until noon that she finally finished her work and was about to come out to check on everyone's progress. She happened to see Chu Chu stepping on He Yuexiong's shoulders at the door, helping to post couplets on the door, while Ming You was directing from the side.

Looking at the Blazing Roaring Tiger and the Thundering King Kong Ape as door gods, Xiaozhao finally couldn't help complaining: "To be honest, they look really scary..."

"Really? I think it's quite festive, and the atmosphere here today can't be lost to the one in Emerald Town. It's even more lively than them!"

Mingyu said with a serious face, this is a New Year celebration with so many Pokémon in the manor, so it must be treated with caution and treated as a grand banquet!

Then he continued to ask: "Are you done with the kitchen?"

"It's all done, let's take a look at the situation on your side...it looks almost done, right?"

Xiao Zhao looked up at the red lanterns decorated above, feeling the joy of the festival. She was looking forward to the liveliness of the evening, and this was her first time in this world to spend the New Year...

Time passed little by little and almost all the work was ready to be completed.

As evening approached, what was different from the festive celebrations of red lanterns being lit here at the manor was that... over there in Green Town, everything was quiet and peaceful.

Most of the tourists have gone home to celebrate the New Year, and there are not many people on the street. Every house has white lanterns with ghost mountain patterns, gently swinging in the wind, and the kadomatsu placed at the door has also been blown down.

This is the custom of celebrating the New Year in Kitakami Township. You rarely go out. Fireworks and firecrackers are only set off in the summer. During the New Year, the whole family will gather around the kotatsu and eat oranges, apples, soba noodles and sticky cakes.

Danyu sat in front of the kotatsu, lying on the table with a bored look on his face. He didn't even have the strength to break open the oranges: "I'm so bored. I really want to go to Mingyou's house. Their place must be very lively now..."

"I want to go too……"

Wuli now also likes the liveliness of the manor, and is very interested in the lively customs of Mingyou's hometown, but there is no way, he can't say he won't accompany his grandparents, right?

He felt a little depressed, then reached out and picked up a piece of purple sticky cake on the table, and took a bite...

At this time, all the lights in the villa are lit up in the manor, dispelling the darkness of winter and completely spreading the New Year's festive atmosphere to every corner of the manor.

The door of the villa was opened, and Sand Mountain King and Abo walked around inside, greeting each other as Gengar and the others bumped into them.

The dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner were placed in every corner of the living room. In addition to dumplings, there were also barbecued fruits, various desserts and soups, basically everything. It took three hours to make them all.

Everyone is happily spending the last night of the year together, no longer as stray Pokémon, wild Pokémon, or any other identity... but as a member of the manor!

There may be quarrels over grabbing favorite food, but they will be settled soon. Riolu will help everyone resolve conflicts when Mingyu can't take care of them, which makes Wind Speed ​​Dog very happy.

Pokémon like it, Big Bear Two, and Sly-Antlered Deer, as elders, would naturally not compete with these children and would maintain order on the sidelines.

At this moment, the sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded outside. Mingyou, who was holding some firecrackers in his arms, quickly ran to the side and watched with everyone covering their ears.

"Hmm~"

So exciting~

"It's true that you should set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, so that it feels like the New Year. But after setting off the firecrackers, you must remember to clean up all the garbage."

Mingyou said with a smile, then took out the fairy stick he bought, helped Tongtun light one, and gave the rest to the other party: "Let's go play with everyone, remember not to light the tree on fire."

"Hmm~"

Fengchun took these fairy sticks and immediately ran to Latias and the others. Smoocha stretched out his liquid hands and grabbed two of them, and asked Fengchun to light them for him.

"Mouh~"

"Lalu..."

La Lulas stepped forward. It also wanted to play, but didn't know how to speak.

"Naru!"

Just go and ask for it!

Chirulian held its hand and went to find a few fairy sticks. After lighting them, they waved them gently and watched the fairy sticks bloom brilliantly at night, like stars falling on the earth. It was quite a feeling. It feels like a dream.

"Lalu~"

So beautiful~

"Woo!"

Zoroa immediately jumped over. It wanted to play with this too. Then he picked up one in his mouth, turned around and jumped on Latias' head, occupying the high ground...

Soon a chase battle was staged again. Seeing the Pokémon playing happily, Xiaozhao couldn't restrain her excitement and joined in.

She asked for a fairy stick from Mingyou and lit it, then quietly came back behind Mingyou, and suddenly swung the fairy stick out, startling the other party.

"You make a noise when you walk!"

"Haha, you are too careless, be careful of being attacked by ghosts again."

"Don't say such things during the Chinese New Year. Why not talk about something happy?"

"OK then."

Xiaozhao watched the fairy wand in her hand go out and put it on the ground. She turned around and asked softly: "Have you had enough for the New Year's Eve dinner? Do you want some more?"

"full."

"No one has eaten the sticky cake I made?"

"Let me handle it!"

"Haha, let me get it for you."

Seeing Xiaozhao smiling and turning away, Mingyou smiled lightly, and then Tongchun suddenly ran over and threw herself into his arms.

"what happened?"

"Hmm~"

Because I’m happy~

I have never celebrated the New Year before. I only know that Beishang Township will be very quiet on this morning every year, and nothing can be heard except the sound of the cold wind. But now I know that this day is such a lively festival.

"Haha, it's because Kitakami Township has a traditional Japanese New Year. I have a Chinese New Year."

As he said this, Mingyou suddenly thought of something, he had to give red envelopes during the Chinese New Year... But for this, giving them pocket money didn't seem to be of any use.

But I can’t help but give it...

Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Does Puxun have any New Year's wishes?"

"Hmm?"

"You can just say what you want to do in the new year, and maybe you can achieve it."

Mingyou smiled and explained that he planned to fulfill his New Year's wish as a red envelope.

"Um..."

Puppy thought for a while, then jumped slightly and smiled. Its New Year's wish is to hope that Mingyou won't be so tired every day and can rest more~

"You kid..."

Mingyou gently touched its head, it was really too sensible...

Then he looked at the approaching Latias and asked them about their New Year's wishes.

"Wuwu!?"

Latias was slightly startled, a New Year's wish that could come true? of course! This year, it will definitely lie on Kirby’s belly and play games!

"Gambimon~" The little Kirbymon raised its hands. It wanted to evolve into Kirbymon so that it could eat more food.

"You two can work together..."

Mingyou held his forehead and shook his head, then looked at the Fang Shark. He didn't have any wishes...if he really wanted to, he just wanted to defeat a few powerful opponents!

After Riolu noticed the eyes falling on him, he fell into thinking. He had only one wish, to continue to become stronger and protect his companions.

Smoocha has only one wish, and that is to get a masterpiece tea bowl and evolve into Sadcha!

Everyone's wishes are quite simple and simple. Even if it is Lalulas's turn in the end, the other party just wants to play all the games in the Pokémon series...

"Don't worry, all your wishes will come true!"

Mingyou kept all their wishes in mind. At this time, Xiaozhao came over with a few pieces of sticky cake on a plate and a can of fruit wine in his hand. Because the other party said he didn't like drinking it, he didn't help to get it.

He reached out to take the plate, sat on the steps with the other person, picked up a piece of sticky cake, put it in his mouth and tasted it. Although the taste was still indescribable, he really liked it.

"Don't faint again~"

Xiao Zhao said with a smile, then unscrewed the jar and took a sip. The muzi fruit flavor was quite good. Although she was slightly tipsy, her face was already reddish.

In fact, she is not good at drinking, but sometimes when she thinks too much and her mind is confused, she likes to drink a little, so that she can sleep more comfortably.

Mingyou tasted the sticky cake. This time, his body had no adverse reactions. After a chuckle, he looked at the girl next to him. Just when he was about to answer the teasing, he suddenly noticed the girl's slightly drunk state.

"You don't know how to drink at all..."

"Haha, you discovered me."

Xiao Zhao didn't hide anything. He handed over the half-drunk fruit wine in his hand and said with a smile: "Come and have a drink~"

"You are really drunk..."

Mingyou complained in his heart, but the other party didn't seem to notice this. He could get drunk even if he was slightly tipsy. How bad is his drinking capacity? When I saw that the other person wanted to buy it, I thought it was very drinkable.

After hesitating for a moment, he still reached out to take it, lest the other party actually lie down and have to carry it in, so he drank the remaining fruit wine in one gulp.

Although he is not very good at drinking, being tipsy is almost like a drink to him.

At this moment, Xiaozhao looked up at the moonlight. For some reason, today's joy made her have many things she wanted to say out.

"Um...can you listen to me?"

"Say it, I'm listening."

"Um……"

Xiaozhao nodded lightly and began to talk: "I originally wanted to make enough money to travel around the world and become the world's top trainer, but... I also like living with you in the manor, always It makes me feel at peace, as if I have found the meaning of existence.”

When she came to this world, she was confused about her past, present and future.

If she hadn't met Ming You, I'm afraid she really wouldn't know what she should be doing now. Even if she could pick up a big steel snake with one hand, the reality was that she was just a homeless girl living in a foreign land.

Mingyou listened carefully and did not disturb him, but his heart was full of sympathy for the other party.

At this time, Xiaozhao suddenly changed the topic, tilted her head and looked at him with a smile: "By the way...Mingyou, when is your birthday?"

"January 1th, one month left."

Mingyou didn't know the birthday in his previous life, but he still knew the birthday in this life, but after his parents passed away, no one gave it to him anymore.

But at this moment, after hearing the answer, Xiaozhao covered her mouth with surprise on her face.

"what happened?"

"My birthday is also on this day, haha. It seems that I am exactly one year older than you."

"what?"

This time it was Mingyu's turn to be surprised.

Xiaozhao didn't expect such a coincidence. Although she lost most of her memory, she still remembered these things, so that the two of them could celebrate their birthdays on the same day...

"But by the end of the month, you've..."

Mingyu also had such a plan in an instant, but the other party had to go back to work at Blueberry Academy, so he might not have a chance. But just as he asked, something suddenly seemed to press on his shoulder.

Smelling the familiar faint fragrance, he subconsciously turned his head and saw that Xiao Zhao had fallen asleep and was leaning on his shoulder.

There was a smile on the girl's delicate face, her red lips were slightly parted and rising and falling gently, without any precautions, which made him helpless...

"No one fell asleep while chatting. I originally wanted to ask you about your New Year's wishes again..."

Mingyou shook his head gently, gently put his arms around the other person's waist, and let the girl rest on him. Then he looked at the quarrels between them, and quietly waited for the arrival of the new year.

for a long time……

"Hmm!"

Mingyou's voice suddenly broke the calm between the two. It held the cell phone Rotom and told Mingyou to prepare to set off fireworks.

"Is it almost 0 o'clock?"

Mingyou came back to his senses and patted Xiaozhao's shoulder gently with his hand. After a while, the other party groaned softly, drowsily, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Is it dawn yet..."

"Getting ready for New Year's Eve."

"what?"

Xiaozhao suddenly came back to his senses and finally noticed that he was leaning on Mingyou. His face turned red and he ran away in panic like a frightened kitten. He could hardly speak clearly. .

"You, you, you...why don't you wake me up? You can just...throw me to the ground!"

"Look at you sleeping so soundly..."

Mingyou smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the topic, saying, "We'll talk about this later. Now let's set off the fireworks together!"

"Hmm~"

Fengchen also started to persuade him, but he was running out of time.

"This...that's okay!"

Xiaozhao covered her chest and tried to calm down as much as possible. It was so embarrassing... Why did she fall asleep suddenly? She shouldn't have drank!

It was too late to regret. She could only pretend that nothing happened and went to the snow with everyone.

Now almost all the Pokémon in the manor are here, looking expectantly at the fireworks placed over there. Mingyu is responsible for lighting them, and Tonglu is responsible for taking photos with Rotom on his mobile phone.

"Everyone, please stand a little further away!"

Mingyou waved, then looked at the New Year's Eve countdown on his phone, lit the fireworks, and ran away quickly.

Just one second before the end of the countdown, countless colorful sparks burst out, flying in the air like elves, forming patterns of Pokémon, lighting up the dark night, and forming an incomparable image with the quiet and peaceful green town in the distance. sharp contrast!

Looking at the gorgeous scrolls blooming in the night sky, all the Pokémon were filled with excitement. It was the first time they saw fireworks at such a close distance.

Tongchen also seized this moment, using the fireworks blooming in the night sky as the background, and asked Rotom on his mobile phone to completely record the scene of everyone enjoying the fireworks on New Year's Eve.

"Hmm~"

happy New Year!
