Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 264 Return to the Ranch (4k)

 In the year 198 of the Alliance Calendar, on October 28, the ship officially arrived in the Padia area and docked at the port of Niangguang City.

Zhi Shu got off the boat and headed towards the pasture with Gu Ledun, who was carrying a bag of steel-armored crow feathers.

The Padia region is not as good as the Galar region, and trains do not cover all cities.

 If you want to go out, in addition to taking Pokémon, most of the time you need to take transportation facilities such as buses.

It was not convenient to take so many things by car, so as soon as he left Niangguang City, Naoki released the Snowstorm Horse and Ghost Horse from the Poké Ball.

Then he hung the pocket of steel armored crow feathers on the stronger Snowstorm horse. He and Lei Guanwang rode the Gulton and Lingyou horses respectively, and rushed in the direction of Ziqin Town in this way. .

They stopped and walked on the road, and finally returned to Zhiqin Town in the evening of October 31st.

Looking at this familiar road leading to the pasture, Naoki felt extremely excited in his heart.

 Having been away from the ranch for so many days, I wonder how everyone is doing now?

 He was eager to see the group of Pokémon, but at this moment, a large truck suddenly drove up on the road ahead.

Zhishu recognized the car at a glance. It was Zach's car. He would drive this car to nearby pastures and farms to collect goods every day.

At this time, it happened to be five o'clock in the evening, which was the time for Zach to receive the goods.

The roads in the countryside were no wider than those in big cities, so he quickly rode Gulledon to the side to avoid them.

Zach, who was driving a large truck, also saw a few familiar figures standing on the roadside at a glance.

 He honked the horn twice to say hello from a long distance away.

As the distance approached, Zach stopped the car, opened the window, and stuck his head out, with a hearty smile on his face: "Back?"

Zhi Shu also responded with a smile: "Yes! The things are done, now I can go home."

 When he thought of Zhishu Ranch, Zach felt very impressed:

“Your group of Pokémon are so capable! During your absence, they were able to cooperate with each other to manage the pasture as well as when you were not away! It’s really admirable!”

With that said, Zach moved his eyes downward again and looked at Gulton under Naoki. He smiled and waved to it: "Long time no see, Gulton!"

Huluton also responded happily: "Ah gahis~"

“You are getting stronger and stronger. It seems that the food in the pasture is very good!”

 After saying that, Zach turned his attention to the strange Pokémon following Naoki.

 At first, he thought it was a Pokémon that Naoki had just captured from outside, and didn't pay much attention to it.

 But when he saw clearly the appearance of one of the Pokémon riding on the horse, an expression of disbelief suddenly appeared on his face.

This familiar yet unfamiliar feeling!

 Could it be that…

impossible? !

Zach was shocked and quickly opened the car door and jumped out.

 “Is this Pokémon?!”

 He looked at King Lei Guan, and King Lei Guan also looked at the human with gentle eyes.

 He could feel that this human being was also providing him with faith.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he nodded slightly at Zach.

 “Oh my God!” Zach finally couldn’t help but exclaimed.

This majestic look, this elegant posture, this loving gaze, isn't it the legendary Pokémon King Ray Crown? !

That legend is true!

　　Naoki... actually subdued King Lei Guan and brought him back to the Padia region! !

After a brief daze, Zack reacted quickly, turned around immediately, pulled Naoki aside and whispered.

"What the **** does this happen?!"

Naoki looked innocent: "What's going on?"

Zach lowered his voice: "Isn't King Lei Guan the king of the Galar region? Why did you bring this person to us?"

Conquer the Pokémon that is the symbol of your region. If the Galar people find out about this, will they come here to rob you? To be serious, it would be terrible if it caused a war between the two regions!

Zach is very worried.

 “How can it be so exaggerated...” Naoki showed a speechless expression on his face.

He recalled it carefully, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have only told Zac and the others about the legend of King Lei Guan and his horse galloping on the land of Galar, bringing abundance to mankind, but not the subsequent events.

After thinking for a while, Naoki told Zach what happened after King Lei Guan was forgotten and lost all his power.

“…The humans there gradually forgot about the King of Galar, and the Crown Temple became a ruins full of broken walls. The King Lei Guan lost his power and wandered alone in the icy snow field.”

After hearing this, Zach couldn’t help but frown, feeling indignant: “That’s too much!”

"That's right!" Naoki added: "When I went there, I almost froze to death on the snowfield. I can't believe how a grass-type Pokémon like King Lei Guan survived there for all these years. "

“Fortunately, you brought King Lei Guan back!” Zach didn’t think it would cause a war between the two regions: “Since they don’t cherish it, then from now on King Lei Guan will be protected by us!”

“Doesn’t He need faith? As soon as I go out to buy goods, I go to other towns to preach to King Lei Guan!”

 Naoki: “…”

 Very good, from now on, Zach will be Preacher No. 2!

He stayed by King Lei Guan’s side to serve, and Zak went out to continue preaching, re-promoting the religion of King Lei Guan on this land.

However, in order to prevent innocent people from being misunderstood, Naoki finally said:

“Actually, this is no wonder the ordinary humans in the Galar region. All this is because the Galar royal family took away the achievements of King Leiguan and erased all traces of his existence in order to maintain the royal family’s rule.”

"Alas!" Zac sighed, and then sighed with emotion: "Fortunately, the kingdom has been extinct for a long time, and now is the era of the alliance."

 “Yes!” Naoki agreed.

 After the two exchanged words, they turned around and walked back to King Lei Guan, who was waiting not far away.

 Zach looked at King Leicester with both sympathy and respect in his eyes.

But he had never spoken to such a legendary Pokémon before. After hesitating for a long time, he finally managed to get a few words out of his mouth:

“O King of Fertility, feel free to stay in our town from now on. We will believe in you together with Naoki!”

Lei Guanwang nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

Seeing Him smile, Zach also laughed.

 But soon, he realized that he still had some work to do, so he slapped his head and ran back to the truck.

Through the car window, Zach said goodbye to Naoki and the old Leden King: "I almost forgot! I have to go to work, so you should go back to the ranch! Kuailong and the others miss you very much!"

Zhi Shu nodded, watching the large truck disappear at the end of the road, and then rode Gu Ledun towards the pasture.

 Not long after, Zhi Shu saw the sign of Zhi Shu Ranch.

He rode Guluton and King Lei Guan side by side, and the snowstorm horse followed behind with a bag of goods.

 “This is where we live.” Naoki said.

They walked through the main entrance of the ranch, and King Lei Guan looked at the place curiously.

 Neat ridges, withered flower fields, sparse yellowing grass...

This presentation is really not good.

Zhi Shu was a little embarrassed: "Because it's almost winter, these flowers have withered."

“I know everything.” King Lei Guan smiled and nodded.

Looking at everything in order in front of him, he could predict what kind of scene it would be like in spring, with birds singing and flowers fragrant.

 In the pasture, there were several Pokémon lying listlessly on the grass, picking at the weeds on the ground.

Those are Pokémon such as Baboo, Frostnake, Ice Eevee, and Salt Barrier.

They sat on the land with their backs to the entrance of the pasture, looking boredly at the blue sky.

 The Frost Milk Fairy sighed: "Mama..." (So boring!)

 The Salt and Stone Barriers are also very depressed: "Liao..." (boring...)

Babu Tubo breathed out softly: "Bamo, Bamo." (Zhi Shu has been away for a long time, and I don't know when Zhi Shu will come back.)

 Bingyibu on the side was also in a very low mood. Before he came to the pasture, he liked winter very much. The snow-covered world and the life of playing freely in the ice and snow were so beautiful.

 But now, it feels that that kind of life is too monotonous.

 Compared to ice and snow, it prefers flowers with fragrant fragrance to run and play with everyone on the green grass under the warm sunshine.

Thinking of this, Bingyibu sighed: "Buyi..." (Alas.)

Several Pokémon looked up at the monotonous blue sky, and the next second, they all sighed in unison.

"well."

　In the days when Naoki was away, even the sky looked the same.

Seeing this scene, Luton was about to say something, but Naoki suddenly covered his mouth.

 It looked over in confusion, but saw Naoki making a shushing gesture towards it.

Although he was puzzled, Guluton still kept his mouth shut.

Zhi Shu smiled and touched its head, then tiptoed towards the Pokémon who had their backs turned to him and looked up at the sky.

 When the distance was close, he covered Babu's eyes and said, "Guess who I am."

The Babu woodchuck was startled by the sudden big hand, but after hearing the sound, its face immediately showed an excited expression.

 “Bamo!”

The last piece of the translation effect of the melon seed cake was used up, and Naoki lost the effect of understanding the Pokémon's speech.

 But it doesn’t matter, even if he doesn’t need to translate Guazisu, he can understand the meaning of these Pokémon of his own.

Zhishu smiled, picked up Babu's woodchuck by its creaking nest, and said, "I'm back!"

The Babu woodchuck's eyes shone with surprise and joy. It threw itself into Zhishu's arms affectionately and nuzzled his cheek.

 The next second, Naoki felt a slight numbness.

The Babu woodchuck called affectionately.

Zhishu smiled and touched its furry head: "Okay, okay, the outside things have been done, and then I can stay in the pasture to spend the winter with you."

 Hearing this, several Pokémon on the side were particularly happy.

The return of Naoki makes them feel that the sky is no longer so monotonous, and the whole world seems to be full of color.

 The Frost Milk Fairy opened her arms and jumped on the spot: "Mama!"

Zhishu saw what it meant, so he put Babu down, and then picked up Frost Milk Fairy: "Okay, I'll give you a hug too."

 “Mama~” Frost Milk Fairy was extremely happy.

Zhi Shu looked at Bing Yibu on the side again. Bing Yibu's eyes were full of desire, but he stood proudly and did not react.

Zhishu smiled slightly, put the Frost Milk Fairy down again, and then picked up the Ice Eevee regardless of its struggle.

 Fortunately, Ice Eevee only fluttered twice symbolically, then calmed down, and was hugged by Naoki with some embarrassment.

 “How are you doing these days?” Naoki asked.

 “Bamo!”

 “Mama!”

 “Fortress!”

 “Buy!”

Several Pokémon responded in unison.

Zhishu hugged Ice Eevee for a while and then put it down.

Just when he was about to take them to see King Lei Guan, he saw five Salt Stone Barriers looking at him longingly. Their eyes were full of hope, and they seemed to want to be hugged.

 Naoki: “…”

　　Decided, he will try to see if he can develop any Hercules cuisine later!

 Ash can lift the small Nebula weighing up to 999kg, he can also lift the salt stone barrier!

At this time, a cry of "咩Ah" suddenly came from not far away.

Zhi Shu turned his head and saw other Pokémon in the pasture running towards him excitedly.

 Three Mounted Goats, Bada Butterfly, Olinio, Kuailong…

 The sound of their running was too loud, attracting the attention of the nosy siblings in the room.

 The brother and sister opened the door and saw Naoki returning to the pasture.

Their eyes lit up one after another, and then they happily stepped forward to greet him.

 In the blink of an eye, Naoki was surrounded by this group of Pokémon.

He didn't panic at all, and reached out to touch the Pokémon one by one.

“It still feels that familiar! It’s indeed my Kuailong! It’s great!”

“The poor mount goat is all thin. Don’t worry, there is still grass harvested in the past few months in the warehouse. I will make fresh grass dumplings for you later.”

 “Olinio, long time no see!”

“Ba Dahu, are you still used to the environment in the glass greenhouse?”

 The Pokémon responded one by one.

Kuailong hugged Naoki and responded affectionately: "Ouch~"

　　The mounted goats nodded happily: "Hey~"

Oliniu narrowed his eyes happily: "New~"

Bada Huo also nodded his head happily: "Fuyi~"

 Finally, Naoki looked at his elder brother and younger sister, smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work during this time!"

The elder brother, who is fond of serving as a steward, stood behind his sister in a serious manner, like a little grown-up.

 Sister, who cares about Shi Ze, nodded happily: "Aye~"

After saying the greetings, Naoki turned around and led them to King Leiguan, Ghost Horse and Snowstorm Horse.

By the way, I released the Motorized Lizard, Lai Sad Tea and Horrible Sitting Pot from the Elf Ball.

Zhi Shu introduced them one by one: "This Pokémon that looks like a cup is called Sad Tea, and this Pokémon that looks like a sad person is called Sad Tea."

“This snow-white Pokémon here is called Snowstorm, this black one is called Ghosthorse, and this is King Lei Guan.”

"From now on, these Pokémon will be our new partners, and they will live with us in the ranch."

The Pokémon in the pasture looked at the King of Thunder in front of them, they blinked, and then let out a welcome cry in unison.

Seeing this, King Lei Guan also had a smile on his face.

He looked at the group of Pokémon in front of him, his eyes full of love.

"I am King Lei Guan. Like Naoki, I am a farmer who is good at farming. From now on, I will ask for your advice!"
