Not a Trainer This Time

 Chapter 241 Zhishu Empire and Kuailong Legion (4k)

"the taste of happiness…"

Zhi Shu raised his eyebrows. He picked up the bowl of soup and took a careful sip.

 After one sip, you can taste the flavors of many crops, mixed with the rich soup, and the lively and festive atmosphere, it will indeed give people a warm feeling when drinking it.

 Naoki looked around.

He saw the girl feeding the Pokémon soup, he saw the happy little child cuddling in the arms of his parents acting coquettishly, and he saw the strange force holding the bowl and taking big gulps of soup.

This atmosphere, this feeling, is indeed the busiest day in a year.

 Everyone gathers together to celebrate this harvest season.

 What a wonderful and leisurely life!

Zhi Shu felt a little emotional in his heart. He turned around and looked at his large family of Pokémon.

The two siblings were sitting on the bench, eating Pokémon snacks prepared for them by the town.

My sister likes to taste it carefully. Sometimes she frowns, sometimes her eyes light up, as if she is saying this is delicious and this is not.

　　　Bob was wearing a red cape, and like a little hero, he was surrounded by some Pokémon living in the town.

In their envious and adoring eyes, Baboo performed a superhero-style takeoff for them on the spot, which immediately caused the group of Pokémon to exclaim.

　　The mounted goats stood lazily aside.

After several children in the town learned that the goat milk they usually drank was produced by these three mount goats, they started to circle around them.

 One brave boy even carefully reached out and touched the hair of the goat he was riding on.

He was not unhappy when he saw the goat. He immediately opened his eyes wide and said to his companion: "It's soft!"

The mounted goats seemed to like this atmosphere. They suddenly released the grass energy in their bodies, creating a real and illusory grass field around them.

Several children exclaimed in unison, and then said in disbelief: "It's amazing!"

Zhi Shu looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "The mount goats are so popular!"

 At two o'clock in the afternoon, this autumn Thanksgiving has officially come to an end.

The townspeople who had eaten and drank enough were leaving one after another. After saying hello to Mayor Thomas, Naoki also left with a group of Pokémon and returned to the ranch.

Autumn is getting thicker and the temperature is slowly getting colder, but the weather today is pretty good. The temperature was over 20 degrees in the evening. The sun is warm, and it is very comfortable when it shines on people.

Not long after they returned to the ranch, there was a burst of excitement outside.

Zhi Shu went out and saw that the children in the town came with their Pokémon partners to exchange pumpkin cookies with him.

The boy named Daqi he had seen in the morning was also among them, and beside him was a rock dog with beautiful blue eyes.

Seeing Zhi Shu come out, Daqi's eyes lit up and he handed over the small bag wrapped in colorful ribbons and oil paper:

 “Mr. Naoki, I’m here to exchange pumpkin cookies with you!”

"Okay!" Naoki nodded with a smile, turned around and asked the Ai Guanshi brothers and sisters to take out the pumpkin cookies he had prepared before, and exchanged them with each other.

Taking the pumpkin biscuit, the boy said shyly: "Thank you!"

The rock dog standing next to him also barked twice enthusiastically.

 “Mr. Naoki! There are us and us!”

Another girl with a Milililong on her head quickly waved her little hand.

 “Don’t worry, everyone has it.”

Zoki exchanged pumpkin biscuits with them. After the exchange was completed, the children and Pokémon all said thank you to him.

Looking at this scene, Zhi Shuxin said that these children are quite cute.

 He glanced at the expectant weapon, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Want to visit my ranch?"

 “Think!” they said in unison.

　　Naoki said with a smile: "Then come with me!"

　　He took this group of children to the sheep pen where the Mount Goat was located, and told them about the ecology of the two Pokémon, the Mount Lamb and the Mount Goat.

 Then, he took them to the Pokémon House and visited the production process of Moo Milk.

 After coming out, everyone went to the glass flower house again. Zhi Shu introduced them to how the three bees collected nectar and made it sweet.

Finally, they went down to the underground cave, and Naoki introduced them to the information that gophers can help farm land, and salt rock barriers can produce delicious and nutritious rock salt.

Every time Naoki said something, the children would let out an excited "Wow!"

 They seemed to be very curious about all this, and became interested as Naoki introduced it.

 After the end, a girl said longingly: "When I grow up, I want to be a rancher. Like Mr. Naoki, I will raise many Pokémon here and live with them!"

Zhi Shu smiled and nodded: "It's a good dream, but being a rancher is very hard!"

 The other boy immediately shook his head: "Don't be afraid! Mom said I am strong! The paparazzi will also help me!"

　　The paparazzi following the boy immediately nodded: "Woof woof!"

"That's great." Naoki looked at the other children and asked, "What about you? Do you have any dreams when you grow up?"

As expected, these children now have a very strong interest in ranchers, and they all expressed that they would also become ranchers in the future.

 Only Daqi stood aside with an excited face.

Zhi Shu looked at him again and asked, "Where is the big weapon?"

Daqi’s eyes were bright and he said firmly: “I want to become a trainer as powerful as Mr. Naoki!”

 Naoki: “…”

Other children were very surprised and looked at Daqi in confusion: "Eh? Mr. Naoki is a Pokémon trainer?"

Daqi looked confused and asked: "Haven't you noticed? Mr. Naoki is the trainer who has an army of fast dragons! If you want to make so many fast dragons obedient, Mr. Naoki must be very powerful! "

"Wow!"

 The other children showed the same expressions as before, and cast admiring glances at Naoki.

"Amazing!"

 “More powerful than the chief champion!”

 “That’s right!”

 Naoki: “…”

He is really not the conscience of heaven and earth.

Zhi Shu smiled politely and said: "The chief champion is the most powerful trainer in our Padia region, and she is also a very charming person."

 Hearing this, the attention of these children was immediately diverted.

 A boy asked quickly: "Eh? Does Mr. Naoki know the chief champion?"

Zhi Shu thought for a while and replied: "We know each other!"

"Wow!" He quickly asked: "Have you ever had a Pokémon battle? Can the Pokémon of the Chief Champion beat Mr. Naoki's dragon army?"

 Naoki: “…”

He said helplessly: "Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you said. I don't have an army of fast dragons. There are only three fast dragons in the pasture."

Daqi looked confused: "But I saw that Mr. Naoki, you still have five Hackosaurs here? They will also evolve into Kuailosaurus in the future."

 Another girl stretched out her fingers and counted: "Five Hackosaurs and three Velociraptors, a total of eight Velociraptors! Wow, so many Velociraptors, so awesome!"

Another boy also said: "My mother and I have seen movies before where a trainer brought five dragons to fight against the bad guy's country! That trainer defeated the bad guy's country with just five dragons! "

"And Mr. Naoki has eight. He can already attack a city and become the king himself!"

　　Naoki smiled politely: "...Now is the peaceful era. If you do this kind of thing, you will be caught by Miss Junsha and Kati Dog."

The boy thought about it carefully, then nodded: "That's right!" Before he knew it, it was five o'clock in the evening, and Zach drove a large truck to collect the goods.

Seeing Zach, Naoki touched a boy’s little head and said with a smile:

“Okay kids, it’s getting late, let’s get here today!”

 The boys also realized that they had been playing here for too long. If they went back too late, their parents would be worried about them.

So these children waved goodbye to Naoki and his Pokémon: "Goodbye Mr. Naoki, goodbye Motorized Lizard, goodbye Gullton, and goodbye Kuailong!"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　～）

 “Ah gahis~”

Several Pokémon also waved goodbye to the children.

Looking at them jumping away from the pasture, Zhi Shu felt a little worried, so he asked Kuailong to follow them and take them home.

 “Ouch~”

Kuailong followed obediently.

 Zach saw this scene from a distance, and he laughed loudly: "It seems that you are very popular with these children!"

Zhi Shu was also quite emotional: "The main reason is that they are all well-behaved. Who doesn't like obedient children, right?"

"Haha! Good kids are really attractive." Zach agreed: "Okay, today's goods... I calculated, the total is 48,000 alliance coins, here, take it!"

Zhi Shu reached out and took it, and then helped Zach carry the goods to the car.

 “See you later!”

Zach sat in the driver's seat, waved to Naoki through the glass, and then drove away from the ranch.

Watching the car disappear at the end of the road, Naoki turned back to the room and prepared today's dinner with his sister Ai Guanshi.

 Midway, Kuailong returned to the pasture.

 Zhi Shu looked up at it and asked, "Is everything going well?"

Kuailong nodded happily: "Aww~"

　　"That's fine." Naoki smiled slightly: "Thank you for the hard work, go and have a good rest first, we can have dinner later."

 “Aww~” Kuailong agreed happily.

　　Naoki prepared an extremely sumptuous dish for today’s dinner.

  Pan-fried pork chop, chicken stewed with mushrooms, sandwiches, milk pudding, fruit cake, fragrant poffin, braised short ribs, steak, pumpkin soup, pumpkin biscuits…

It contains almost every Pokémon’s favorite food.

 The Pokémon ate happily, and Naoki was also happy to see it.

 After dinner, Naoki thought about what the children said this afternoon.

 He first found his own Kuailong and asked it: "By the way, Kuailong, will you hibernate in winter?"

Kailong blinked his big eyes, with a puzzled look on his face: "Ouch?"

 What is hibernation?

Zhi Shu thought for a while and explained: "When the weather is colder, would you hide in a cave and sleep?"

 Some Pokémon have this habit.

It is difficult to find food in winter. In order to slow down the loss of physical strength, these Pokémon will eat well before winter comes, and then hide in their own warm nests and start to fall asleep until spring comes and everything revives. .

 After Zhishu’s explanation, Kuailong understood what he meant, and it nodded its big head: “Ouch!”

 Some fast dragons can do it, but for them, it doesn’t matter whether they hibernate or not!

 Because Kuailong Island is located in the middle of the sea, the climate will not be too cold even in winter, and there are a large number of small fish in the sea, so they don't have to worry about food at all.

Hearing this, Naoki nodded thoughtfully.

 Then, he found the two wild dragons who were preparing to take Baofen and the five Hackrons back to Dragon Island.

Naoki: "It will be winter tomorrow, and the weather will get colder and colder. I'm afraid it will snow by then. If it's too cold on the road, you can rest on the island for a while and come back to work when the weather warms up." .”

　Hearing this, the Kuailosaurs and Hackrons immediately shook their heads to show that they were not afraid of the cold!

 Naoki: “…”

He said helplessly: "Okay, I'll come back to check on the situation when it snows. Go, today's work is over, you guys go home quickly!"

Under the gaze of Kuailong, the group of Kuailong and Hackron happily bid farewell to Zhi Shu, then waved their increasingly rounded claws and flew towards Kuailong Island.

 In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.

 Whenever this time comes, Zhi Shu can't help but feel lucky that most of the Kuailongs on Kuailong Island still care about face.

  Otherwise they would all stay in his pasture just for food like these fast dragons, and he would have been eaten to pieces long ago.

　　Speaking of dragons, Naoki has not forgotten that there is a dragon on his ranch.

He thought for a while, then turned back home and took out a basket of pumpkin cookies and went to the lake where the Harkerons usually stayed. He coughed twice and asked, "Is Giratina here?"

no respond.

 “It seems like he’s not here.” Naoki murmured.

He has eaten all the poisonous mushrooms he picked that time, and he can no longer see the reverse world through poisonous mushroom soup.

And after the forest fire, it has become difficult to pick poisonous mushrooms in the back mountains.

In addition, Giratina may feel bored and will not keep peeking here. It will leave this area from time to time and wander around in other places.

 Now, he has unilaterally lost contact with Giratina.

Just when Naoki was about to carry the basket back, a purple vortex suddenly appeared on the calm lake in front of him.

came back?

Zhi Shu was stunned for a moment, then threw the basket in his hand.

 The purple vortex gradually disappeared.

Zhi Shu didn’t care, stood up, smiled, and returned to the living room.

By this time, the sky outside had completely darkened.

Due to the holiday, the Pokémon Tavern is closed for one day today, and the Tussy Brothers and Sisters stay at home.

The elder brother Ai Guanshi was cleaning the house with a broom, while the younger sister Ai Guanshi was boiling hot water next to him, preparing to go back and help Naoki make tea.

Zhi Shu called the brothers and sisters over and said to them: "I will be traveling far away to do some errands in a while. It may take about half a month to come back. Then I will ask you to take care of the house."

 Hearing that Naoki was about to go away again, the Motorized Lizard who was lying in front of the fireplace stood up immediately.

 Zhi Shu noticed it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will take you with me this time."

 “Gah!” The Motorized Lizard was very happy.

 The two caretakers nodded gently: "Aye~"

Don’t worry, they will take care of everything in the house!

“Thank you, I’ll bring you gifts when I come back.” Naoki smiled and touched his sister’s head.

 The brother on the side likes to control Shi's little face.

Seeing this, Zhi Shu also reached out and touched it.

 The next second, he saw that his brother's face was visibly red, and he seemed to feel a little embarrassed.

Zhi Shu raised his eyebrows and didn't say much. He just retracted his hand and said, "It's getting late. You should go and rest first! I'll just watch over there."

 The brother and sister nodded in confusion as they were touched, and then returned to their room obediently.

Zhi Shu stayed in the living room, waiting for the hot water to boil, then stepped forward to turn off the fire, poured the hot water into the insulated kettle before going back to the room to rest.

Autumn is over, and when the clock strikes midnight, winter will officially begin!

With anticipation for the next life, Naoki closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep accompanied by the comfortable purr of the Babu dog in his arms.
