Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 230 The Motorcycle Lizard Counting the Moon (4k)

 “Aoki?”

Hearing this name, Naoki immediately thought of a man with the image of a social animal who has been working hard for a long time.

Isn't he an employee of the Padia Union Sales Department? Why do you still do grassroots work like showing people the way?

"Yes." Ye Ci said: "He is an employee of the alliance sales department, and he also serves as the leader of the Jinhui Gym. Because the Zero Area Gate is near Jinhui Town, he took over this project. job."

Hearing this, Naoki nodded silently: "I understand."

"Then, be careful in everything." Yeci gave one final warning and then hung up the phone.

Zhi Shu stood there for a while, thinking about the giant pit of Padea in his mind. He didn't come back to his senses until his sister, the steward, came over and called him.

Looking at the two brothers and sisters beside him, Naoki said to them: "I have to go on a long trip in three days for something to do. It will take about a week to come back. Then I will ask you to take care of everyone in the ranch."

“Aye.” Brother Ai Guanshi nodded. It is their duty to help their master manage the pasture.

 Sister Tuanshi was also very happy and said that it would take good care of the Pokémon in the pasture.

Seeing this, Naoki showed a smile on his face.

 Having two loving caretakers at his side reassures him.

  Then, he told the two caretakers in detail about the daily work content in the ranch, as well as the food and feeding time for each Pokémon.

 The brothers and sisters listened carefully and took all these words to heart.

 After explaining the matter, the next step is to choose the Pokémon to bring into the Padia Pit.

 First of all, Luton must go.

Although he is a time traveler, Naoki will not look down on anyone or any place just because of the data and information he possesses.

Out of caution, in addition to Guluton, he had to bring two more Pokémon with a certain combat power and capable of self-defense.

 The Pokémon currently capable of fighting in the ranch...

 Several figures appeared in Naoki's mind.

 Guluton, Kuailong, Babu Tubo, Mount Goat x3.

 Salt Stone Barrier has not yet grown up, and the strength of Motorized Lizard, Ice Eevee, Olinio, and Bad Butterfly is in the middle of the pack, which is far from enough.

 Hence, Naoki planned to let them stay in the pasture.

Then, only the six are left.

 But mount goats are milk-producing Pokémon in the pasture, and taking them away will affect goat milk production.

After thinking about it for a while, Naoki made a decision in his mind.

This time he went to the Padian Pit, and he only brought three animals: Guledun, Kuailong and Babu Tubo.

But before leaving, he still had a few things to do.

 The first thing is to apply medicine to the electric petrel until its wings are completely healed.

 The second thing is to observe the changes in the Motorized Lizard and test the effect of yesterday’s birthday cake.

While it was still early, Zhi Shu first went to the tree orchard to conduct daily routine inspections on Dian Haiyan.

 Ever since he said that day that if he was injured and forced to fly, he might never be able to fly again in the future, this electric petrel became much more honest.

 It did not try to fly again. From morning to night, it either stayed in a bird's nest on the tree or stood on the branches to look at the mushrooms and speaker crickets below.

Seeing Naoki coming over, Dian Haiyan moved her eyes to him.

　　Naoki said with a smile: "Let me see how your wound is recovering."

Hearing this, Dian Haiyan came closer and showed his wings to the other party for inspection.

 Zhishu pinched it lightly and asked, "Is the pain still obvious?"

 Dian Haiyan felt it carefully and then shook his head.

 “That means recovery is coming soon.” Zhi Shu said.

 Dian Haiyan's eyes suddenly lit up.

　　Naoki: "It will take up to two days. You can fly after two days. After your injury is healed, I will go on a long trip."

At this time, Pokémon such as Mushroom, Yo-Yo Ball, Chinchilla, and Little Blacksmith gathered around.

Zhi Shu looked at them and said softly: "I have something to deal with. You can live here peacefully until next spring, and I will help you rebuild your home together."

　　It has been several days since the fire today, and the condition of these Pokémon has gradually improved, and they are not as depressed as they were at the beginning.

 After hearing what he said, these cute little guys jumped up briskly and screamed happily.

Zhi Shu looked at this scene with a smile, and suddenly remembered something. He looked at the several grass-type Pokémon in front of him and said to them:

“Oh, by the way, the weather is pretty good these days, the sun is very warm, you can go to the flower field to play more.”

 Especially the lily root doll.

This Pokémon likes soil with sufficient moisture and nutrients. Because of this, crops in the land where they live tend to grow very vigorously.

 The mushroom is just the opposite of the lily root doll.

Mushrooms like moist places, and they mostly live on the moist ground deep in forests.

Mushrooms will stay motionless under the fallen leaves in the shade of the forest during the day. Their favorite food is the moist leaf rot soil in the forest.

Lily Root Baby happily agreed.

 After explaining everything, Zhi Shu went to find the Motorized Lizard again.

After eating the birthday cake yesterday, the Motorized Lizard didn't have any special reaction. Naoki Kokoro wondered if it would take time for the effects of the birthday cake to be reflected?

The Motorized Lizard is basking in the sun on the grass.

 Zhi Shu came to it and asked tentatively: "From last night to now, have you felt any changes in your body?"

 “Gah?” The Motorized Lizard looked confused, as if he didn’t understand.

 Zoki explained: "For example, I can run faster and my strength has become stronger..."

Hearing this, the Motorized Lizard felt it carefully, and then shook his head with a blank look on his face.

 “Strange…” Naoki couldn’t help but ponder.

Is it possible that the birthday cake is not effective? No, not possible.

 He thought of his thoughts yesterday, and suddenly a bold guess came to his mind.

That is, the birthday cake increases the racial value of the Motorized Lizard, and increases its upper racial limit!

 If this is the case, it may not be reflected until a long, long time later.

Just like the Skin God in Pikachu, the current Motorized Lizard has undoubtedly become a special Motorized Lizard.

“Six racial values ​​have been fully improved, dear, this is a bit scary!” Naoki murmured.

This is only the first year. What if he gives Motorized Lizard a birthday cake every year?

For example, if the birthday cake increases each of the race values ​​of the Motorized Lizard by 1 point, then it will be 6 points per year.

Ten years is 60 points, and thirty years is 180 points. Thirty years later, the race value of the Motorized Lizard will be 681 points. The upper limit of this race is close to the 720 points of the Creator God Arceus.

  “Gaw?”     The Motorized Lizard noticed the excited face of Naoki, and the expression on his face became even more confused.

Zhi Shu came back to his senses, smiled and touched its head, and explained: "It's okay, I just experienced the fun of training. Motorized Lizard, you will become a very powerful Pokémon in the future."

 Hearing this, the Motorized Lizard immediately straightened up proudly, like a child being praised.

 It will work hard! Then you can protect Naoki!

 In a daze, Naoki seemed to see the shadow of Gulton in the Motorized Lizard.

He remembered that when he was praising Gulton, Gulton also had such a proud look on his face.

“The one who is close to vermillion is red, and the one who is close to ink is black. Motorized Lizard must have learned it from Gulton.” Naoki thought.

   *

 Three days later, the wings of the electric petrel were completely recovered, and Zhi Shu also said goodbye to the Pokémon in the pasture, and prepared to take Guluton, Kuailong and Babu Tubo to the Padia Pit.

 He stood in the pasture and said goodbye to all the Pokémon.

The faces of Pokémon such as Biker, Frostnake, and Salt Barrier all have expressions of reluctance.

 Especially the Motorized Lizard.

 Since it has grown so big, it has never been away from Zhi tree for such a long time.

Seeing this scene, Naoki looked helpless: "They will take good care of you, I'm just going out for a few days and I'll be back soon."

Motor Lizard's eyes were filled with tears.

 “Be obedient.” Naoki stepped forward and touched the Motorized Lizard’s head. This kid really loved him.

The Motorized Lizard was in a depressed mood: "Gahaw..."

“Next time, I will definitely take you with me next time I go out, okay?” Naoki promised.

He was planning to go to the Galar region in the winter. At that time, he could take the Motorized Lizard on a quick trip to the snowfields.

 “Gah…” Although he was a little unhappy, the Motorized Lizard nodded in agreement.

"Good boy." Zhi Shu pointed to a batch of green pumpkins in the farmland not far away and said to the Motorized Lizard: "I will come back when the pumpkins in the fields mature. You have to help me take care of them. , don’t be secretly eaten by wild Pokémon from outside.”

 “Gah.” The Motorized Lizard responded, looked at the pumpkins in the ground, and remembered these words in his heart.

 “Okay, it’s getting late, we’re going to leave.”

 Zhi Shu stood up, put Kuailong and Baboo into the Poké Ball, then rode on Gulton, turned around and waved goodbye to all the Pokémon.

"goodbye!"

 “Love ugh!”

 “Mama!”

 “Yeah!”

　　　…”

When Gulton could no longer be seen in the sky, all the Pokémon looked back and lowered their heads.

The backbone of the pasture is gone. Although nothing around them has changed, they still feel empty in their hearts.

 The two brothers and sisters of Ai Guanshi looked at everyone who was in a low mood, and felt an unprecedented sense of responsibility in their hearts.

 From today on, this group of Pokémon will all be taken care of by them!

Motor Lizard was thinking about what Naoki said.

 The day when the pumpkins in the fields mature...but when will the pumpkins in the fields mature?

It is just an ordinary motorcycle lizard and does not understand this aspect.

After thinking about it, the Motorized Lizard found his brother Ai Guanshi and asked him: "Gah?" (When will the pumpkins in the field mature?)

Brother loves to be a serious person, with a tight face, just like a little adult.

 Hearing this, it was stunned for a second, and then suddenly realized that it didn't know the answer to this question.

 The pumpkins are ripe in the field…

Brother Ai Guanshi carefully recalled the scenes of Naoki harvesting pumpkins before, and then replied:

“Love it.” (They are mature when they turn orange.)

 What color is orange? Motorcycle Lizard doesn't understand.

Brother Aoi thought for a while and found the jack-o'-lantern that Naoki had made from a hollowed-out pumpkin. He pointed at it and said to the motorcycle lizard: "Oh." (That's the color.)

　　　　　　　(Oh.)

Motor Lizard keeps this color in mind.

 But it still wanted to know the time, so it went to the underground cave to find a gopher who knew more about farmland.

 “Crack?” (How many days will it take for the pumpkin to mature?)

"Zhizhi..." This question stumped the gopher. It just helped Zhishu cultivate the land and didn't know anything about this!

The gopher was scratching his head in his heart. He struggled for a moment and said, "Zhizhi?" (Maybe Bad Butterfly will know?)

That bad butterfly flies around in the pasture every day. Everything that happens in the pasture cannot escape its eyes. It should know when the pumpkin will be ripe.

So the Motorized Lizard went to find Bada Butterfly again.

Facing the Motorized Lizard’s question, Badahuo looked at the sun in the sky, then at the pumpkins in the ground, and replied:

 “咒咿.” (Waiting for the sun to set and the moon to rise, the pumpkin will be mature after going back and forth seven times.)

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies.

Motor Lizard remembered this sentence.

 So from that night onwards, a moon-counting motorcycle lizard appeared in the pasture.

Motor Lizard also doesn’t know when the sun will set and the moon will rise.

It only knows that when it counts to seven, Naoki will come back.

   *

Jinhui Town is located in the west of Padea, under the giant crater of Padea. It is a gourmet town exuding a nostalgic atmosphere.

The distance between the two towns was not too far. Zhi Shu rode Guluton without stopping for a moment. By the time he arrived at Jinhui Town, exactly three hours had passed.

As soon as he landed, Zhi Shu heard the shouting from the town.

“Mapo tofu, shredded pork with green pepper, wild jellyfish cucumbers mixed with vinegar, and authentic ramen! The most delicious cuisine in Padilla is in our restaurant, come and try it!”

“Chenna Bars! Kiss the good neighbor of the mouth, the Chenna Bars! There are chocolate flavors, cinnamon flavors, and authentic original flavor Chenna Bars!”

“Lemonade, coffee, sandwich cookies, cheese pie, this is the welcome coffee shop, a perfect place for you to relax!”

“Seafood skewers, rice pudding, ceviche, seafood pasta, this is a top seafood restaurant, you don’t have to wait, the taste is right now!”

There was an endless flow of people on the street. Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun stood outside the crowd, looking at the various restaurants in front of them in shock.

 Jinhui Town is more lively than he imagined!

It was just noon, and Naoki felt a little hungry, so he planned to take three Pokémon to fill his stomach before setting off to find Aoki.

The first time I came back to Jinhui Town, the intricate streets and buildings in the town were really confusing.

Zhi Shu turned around and couldn't find even the Jinhui Gym, not to mention the Baoshi Hall.

With no choice but to turn to passers-by, he finally found the legendary Treasure Food Hall under the leadership of a beautiful young lady and her greedy chinchilla.

 Pushing the door open and entering, Naoki saw a Pokémon battle going on on the tatami area in the middle of the restaurant.

A man wearing a black formal suit, with sparse hair and dark circles under his eyes, who looked like a social animal, was feebly directing a tree pillow bear to engage in a Pokémon battle with a boy dressed as a student.

Seeing this scene, Naoki raised his eyebrows slightly.

 Yohe, what is this called? It's better to come early than to come late?

It was meal time, and all the guests in Bao Restaurant were eating their meals while watching the battle on the tatami floor.

 Naoki also ordered several wasabi rice balls, steaks, omelets, and a bowl of clear soup soba noodles with others at the bar.

  He released Babu Tubo and Kuailong from the Poké Ball, sat with them in the dining area separated by wooden barriers, and watched the battle in front of him with interest.
