Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 438 The Hidden Trial at Zhishu Ranch, Unlocked! (Wan Geng please monthly ticket)

 March 16, 200 in the Alliance Calendar, spring.

After receiving the mission assigned by the chief champion, Yang Ming left Zuotai City and set off for Zhiqin Town.

However, when he arrived at that place, he accidentally lost his way and could not find the location of Zhishu Ranch.

At this time, Yangming thought of the content in the strategy post on the campus forum.

—Zhishu Ranch is located in the outskirts, some distance from the town. If you can’t find it, you can ask the local residents, because Zhishu Ranch is very famous nearby. 】

In order to complete the chief's task, he decisively stopped an uncle who was driving by and asked him where to go to Zhishu Ranch.

The uncle was wearing blue overalls, with a towel hanging around his neck. His head like a lightbulb poked out of the car window, and he replied with a hearty smile:

"Oh! You mean Zhishu Ranch? You are going in the wrong direction. Zhishu Ranch is on the east side of the town. You have gone to the south!"

The uncle pointed in the direction of the town and said: "Well, back to the town, from the Zhiqin Market road all the way east, you can see a small road extending to the suburbs. Zhishu Ranch is on that road. The end!”

“Okay, I understand.” Yang Ming was very polite: “Thank you very much for your help, uncle.”

“Hey, you’re welcome, I’ve met many people like you who want to visit Zhishu Ranch!” A simple smile appeared on the uncle’s face.

 Compared with the top chief champion Yeci, their strength is still one step behind.

“Tourists and trainers are attracted here almost every day! Naoki? He is the great blessing of our entire town!”

"That guy Naoki is awesome, let me tell you! The forest fire a year ago was put out by Naoki and his powerful dragon! They saved many Pokémon, I heard The Padian League also awarded him a medal."

“Uncle, do you know Naoki?”

From a long distance, Yangming could see a storm gathering above the pasture. As the wind surged, violent rain fell from the sky, forming a terrifying storm.

“And he also led the farmers in the town to believe in King Lei Guan. All farmers who are blessed by King Lei Guan will have a good harvest of their crops!”

 Not long after, a pasture appeared at the end of the road.

Those people must be students of Padea College. Perhaps it is for this reason that Zhishu Ranch is so famous in the college.

Yang Ming turned over and rode up, heading towards the destination.

There was indeed a fierce battle going on there.

“How scary! Is that the strength of a true champion trainer?” Yang Ming couldn’t help but murmured.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming became more and more curious.

A fierce storm ravaged the entire battle field, and the overwhelming storm formed by the energy of the flying attribute drowned the Magical Masked Meow.

Yellow thunder and lightning was brewing in the clouds above, and Yang Ming recognized it as an electric thunder move at a glance.

 Soon, they arrived at the ranch.

 The uncle kept talking.

Although the thunder and lightning have not yet fallen, just hearing the rumbling sound can give people a strong sense of oppression.

 Yang Ming looked intently and saw a girl commanding a magical masked cat to fight with a dragon.

“He has not been in the town for a long time, but it only took him more than a year to run an abandoned ranch successfully.”

“Not only that, Naoki also founded Kuailong Express, and his cow and goat milk are of high quality. Because of his arrival, our seaside town, which relies on fishing for a living, has become more and more lively.”

 The uncle’s eyes shone, and he seemed extremely proud that Naoki was in Ziqin Town.

With a flash of white light, a giraffe Pokémon with a long neck, over three meters tall, and a head that seemed to be wearing a hood appeared on this country road.

　　 Yang Ming: “…”

Yang Ming gave the order, and Qi Qilin under him accelerated his running speed.

There seems to be a fierce battle going on there.

That person must be the rancher Naoki.

 “Come out, Qi Qilin!”

 At this time, the battle has come to an end.

This storm caused the already scarred Magical Mask Meow to lose its ability to fight.

Um?

 Besides him, are there many people coming to challenge Zhishu Ranch?

 No, this can be seen from the post on the campus forum.

Yang Ming, who was about to turn around and leave, was moved when he heard these words.

Thinking about this, Yang Ming asked.

Although they have become champion trainers according to the strength of the Padian League, everyone knows that champion trainers are not real champions.

Opposite the girl, stood a man with a calm and steady face.

He said goodbye to his uncle, and in order to rush to the ranch as soon as possible to see Naoki's face, Yangming took out a Poké Ball.

 “Qilin, speed up!”

"You mean Naoki? Of course I know him! He is the most famous rancher in our town!"

Aren't these exaggerations?

Yang Ming looked thoughtful, if all this is true, then how legendary is the man named Naoki?

 It seemed that someone had arrived before him.

Once he heard this, the uncle left in no hurry. He seemed to have a lot to say on this topic.

At this moment, Yangming was full of curiosity about Zhishu Ranch. Seeing that this uncle seemed to know Zhishu Ranch very well, maybe he could get more information about that person from him.

 The storm gradually subsided.

 Sister Ai Guanshi walked up with a bottle of life goat's milk and fed it to the magical masked cat.

Not long after, the injuries on Magic Mask Meow were healed.

"Unfortunately, you did not pass the storm trial." While speaking to the girl, Naoki noticed another person coming from behind.

 “So, so strong!” The girl seemed to have not recovered from the battle just now.

Yang Ming recognized this girl who was one step ahead of him.

 He said in surprise: "Nanako? How did you come so fast?"

"Yangming?" The girl known as Nanako turned around. She was not surprised when she saw the person coming, but explained: "I happened to be here in Ziqin Town, so I stopped by to challenge. You are also here to challenge. "Refined?"

 Yang Ming nodded, looking at Nanako, it was obvious that he failed.

Zhi Shu looked at the two people in front of him with interest. It seemed that they knew each other.

But considering the internal situation of the Padian League, the two of them should be considered colleagues, right?

Nanako turned her attention away from Yang Ming. She checked the injuries on Magic Mask Meow, then raised her hand and asked:

“Mr. Naoki, can I try another trial?”

"Of course." Naoki asked with a smile: "Which trial do you want to challenge this time?"

Nanako rolled her eyes and looked around. At this time, there were many Pokémon from the pasture gathered around the battle site, and many of them seemed to be more powerful than Kuailong, Babu, and Mount Goat. Pokémon.

Nanako thought for a while and asked: "By the way, Mr. Naoki, are there only grass trials, storm trials, thunder and lightning trials and finger-waving trials in the pasture?"

Naoki could tell what this girl was thinking at a glance.

He smiled slightly and said in a mysterious tone: "Not only that, in addition to these four trials, there are also some hidden trials in the ranch, but only those who pass any of the four trials can be qualified to challenge ”

Such as the doubles trial between Guluton and Flapping Wings...

If the challenger still feels dissatisfied, then he will invite King Lei Guan and Giratina to come out of the mountain and let them see the power of the true god.

Hearing this, Nanako's eyes suddenly lit up.

 “Hidden trial?!”

Yang Ming on the side was also very surprised.

According to what he learned from the school forum, the current trials are already exaggerated. He simply cannot imagine how difficult those hidden trials will be...

Zhi Shu nodded slightly: "Yes, but you are not qualified to challenge yet. If you want to challenge, you must first defeat these Pokémon of mine."

 Kailong, Babu Tubo and three goats stood behind him, looking at the two challengers with Naoki.

Nanako was really too curious, "Mr. Naoki, can you let us see it in advance? Please!"

However, Naoki has a heart of stone and still chooses to keep it a secret: "No! If you want to know, then come and challenge the trial!"

 In that case, let’s fight! This idea immediately came to Yang Ming's mind.

"Nanako, if you don't challenge the trial, let me fight Mr. Naoki!" Yang Ming couldn't wait.

 Hide the trial? He must be the first trainer to unlock the hidden trial of Naoki Ranch!

“Yangming, you are so rude.” Nanako was quite disgusted.

She originally wanted to continue challenging the Green Grass Trial, but Magic Mask Meow had just experienced a fierce battle, and now she needed to take a break to relieve the pressure.

 So, Nanako gave up her position.

Yang Ming walked to the battlefield, and now he could see that the rancher in front of him and their chief champion were of the same generation.

Perhaps it was because the chief knew the other party that he asked Naoki to conduct special training, testing, and tempering for these champion trainers so that they could continue to practice.

 He realized the chief’s great intention!

 “Mr. Naoki, please give me some advice!” Yang Ming said seriously.

 Zhi Shu nodded and asked, "Do you need me to introduce you?"

Yang Ming shook his head: "No, I've already understood it in advance."

The content in that guide post is very complete, recording in detail the special abilities, self-created moves, fighting styles, and areas that need attention for each Pokémon in the three major trials.

It can be said that these trials created by Mr. Naoki are completely obvious to challengers and are the experiences summed up by countless predecessors.

Although in a regular Pokémon battle, it would be unfair to completely expose your trump card to your opponent, but even so, no one has been able to pass the trial so far.

 What does this mean?

 There are only two possibilities.

 One is that Mr. Naoki is really invincible, and the other is that all challengers are useless.

 Yang Ming: “…”

 Naoki didn’t know what this challenger was thinking.

He nodded and asked: "Okay, in that case, I won't say more. Your friend just challenged Kuailong's storm trial. Which trial are you going to challenge now?"

 “Thunder and lightning trial!” Yang Ming replied without hesitation.

"Thunder and lightning trial?" Zhi Shu was a little surprised, but he didn't say much. He just nodded and said: "Babu Tudou, it's your turn!"

 “Bamo!”

With a crisp cry, a Babu woodchuck with pink fur flew out from behind Zhishu and flew to the battlefield.

Yang Ming took advantage of the situation and looked around.

The Babu woodchuck has a red cloak tied behind it and holds a small silver hammer in its hand. It looks both cute and majestic.

 Does the flying Babu woodchuck...use electromagnetic levitation?

This ability is not uncommon. Pokémon such as Magnemite and Naughty Thunderbolt achieve levitation through electromagnetic levitation.

  But it is very rare to appear on Babu Tubo.

“In that case, I’ll send you out! Come on, Bulbasaur!”

Yangming took out a red and white ball and threw it.

With a flash of white light, a Pokémon with a huge flower on its back, a toad-like appearance, and pimples on its body appeared on the battlefield.

Bulbasa, the final evolved form of the grass-type Bulbasaur from the Kanto region.

This is Yang Ming’s ace Pokémon.

From Bulbasaur, Yang Ming began to cultivate it in the direction of omnipotence.

 You can advance, attack, retreat or defend. You can not only interfere with your opponent, but also launch attacks from the front. Bulbasaur alone has up to three tactics.

Even in order to prevent the opponent from being a master of reverse attributes, Yang Ming also conducted targeted electric shock training on Bulbasaur.

In addition, the grass-type Bulbasaur is naturally resistant to electric-type attacks, so he is bound to win this battle!

 “Whoops!”

The referee's brother, Ai Guanshi, blew the whistle around his neck.

  Babu Woodchuck vs. Bulbasaur, the battle has officially begun!

 “Bulbasa, use the sleeping powder!” Yang Ming immediately gave the command, trying to gain the upper hand.

Hearing the words "hypnotic powder", Naoki's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously thought that this kid was planning to use despicable tactics to pass the thunder and lightning test.

The Bulbasaur also has poisonous properties. Will we start poisoning Babu Tubo next?

　That piece of powder with hypnotic properties has floated out from the flowers of Bulbasaur.

In this situation, Naoki chose to take advantage of the situation: "Babu, fly upwards and avoid the coverage of the hypnotic powder!"

 “Bamo!”

The Babu landhog immediately flew towards a higher position.

Yang Ming below saw this scene and immediately ordered Bulbasaur to launch a pursuit.

 “Flying Leaf Quick Knife!”

 Suddenly, a dense burst of leaf blades followed behind Babu.

Babu Tudou turned around and noticed this scene. He clenched the small hammer in his hand, the electric light flashed on his body, and a powerful electric energy instantly enveloped Thor's hammer.

　　　Babu Mu threw it hard, and the hammer met the flying blade.

Those flying blades that were spinning at high speed were instantly scattered by the hammer, but the hammer did not stop and flew directly to the Bulbasaur flower below.

 “Bulbasa, get out of the way!” Yang Ming quickly ordered.

 “Chana!”

Bulbasaur also anticipated the danger in advance. Almost as soon as the trainer made a sound, it started running towards the side.

 Fortunately, he reacted in time, and the hammer fell behind while grazing its leaves.

Seeing this scene, Naoki nodded slightly.

The next second, the Babu woodchuck floating in the sky seemed to have a tacit understanding and stretched out his hand.

I saw the hammer that fell on the ground began to shake violently, and then flew up out of thin air, as if it was attracted by something.

 It’s that swing hammer move!

Yang Ming recognized it at a glance, and he shouted loudly without hesitation: "Miao Frog, watch behind you and use the vine whip!"

 “Chana!”

Bulbasaur also noticed the small hammer flying from behind.

 Two thick vine whips were quickly drawn out from both sides of its body and faced the hammer.

 Then, catch it out of thin air.

 Two vine whips were tightly wrapped around Mjolnir, stopping its progress and making it unable to move.

 Caught it! He had found a flaw in the move that had defeated countless challengers!

Just thinking about this made Yang Ming very excited.

However, soon, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly realized that he had overlooked something.

 A hammer is just a hammer! Losing the hammer does not mean that the Babu woodchuck has lost its means of attack!

As expected, in the next second, Yang Ming saw that the Babu woodchuck gave up retracting the hammer and directly attacked Bulbasaur from the front with the hammer from both sides.

 Dazzling lightning exploded with the two Pokémon at the center.

 The strong current instantly flooded the entire battlefield.

  In the electric light, Bulbasaur's vine whip was forced to retract, and Babu Tubo clenched his hammer, and electric light appeared all over his body.

 It raised the hammer high and struck the final blow at Bulbasaur below.

 “Boom!”

　　A huge explosion sounded from the center of the battle field.

  Before Bulbasaur could even use the vine whip to transfer electricity to the earth, she was beaten to the point of losing her ability to fight.

 “That Babu dog is so fast!” Nanako, who was watching, exclaimed.

If it were her, would she be able to pass this thunder and lightning trial?

the answer is negative.

When the smoke on the battlefield completely dissipated, Baboo was floating in the air intact, while Bulbasaur was already lying on the ground, with its two eyes turning into mosquito coils.

That look made it look as if he had lost his ability to fight.

There were traces of electric burns on its body, as well as large areas of blunt injuries. This shows how powerful the Babu woodchuck was.

 What a strong strength!

Originally, Yang Ming thought that the content in that post was exaggerated by netizens, but now, after he personally experienced a thunder and lightning trial, he realized that those descriptions were not exaggerated at all...

 He lost. He was defeated by Babu Tubo despite his attribute restraints. He even failed to use many tactics.

“I’m sorry, you failed the thunder test.”

Zhi Shu was quite used to this scene, with a smile on his face as he watched his sister Ai Guanshi give him the milk of life.

"Thank you, Bulbasaur, you have done a great job." Yang Ming comforted Bulbasaur who was depressed after losing the battle.

 It’s because the opponent is too unreasonable.

That Babu Turtle is obviously so small and so cute, but it has so much strength in its body. Not only that, its speed is also far faster than Bulbasaur.

 “Are you going to continue?” Naoki looked at the two trainers sent by Yesi in front of him.

Nanako shook her head subconsciously. After witnessing the whole process, she felt that she had no chance of winning.

Yang Ming nodded: "Mr. Naoki, I want to continue the challenge. Please let me think for a while."

 “Okay.” Naoki had no objection.

Yang Ming fell into deep thought.

Bulbasaur has fallen, and with the strength of his remaining Pokémon, they may not be a match for the Baboo.

So what if he started with the other two trials?

Yang Ming suddenly thought of the various descriptions about the Green Grass Trial in that strategy post.

 The mount goat with unlimited recovery, the special "Holy Sword of Grass", the powerful vine whip...

 About the strategy for the Trial of Green Grass, so far there is only one possibility of passing it.

 That is to use moves such as meditation, dragon dance, and sword dance to enhance the Pokémon's ability to the extreme, and then use the strongest move to attack the goat mount.

As long as it can be defeated with one move, the endless green grass field and super recovery of the Mount Goat will be useless.

In addition, there is another way, which is to use provocation to put the mount goat into a provocation state. In this way, it can no longer use moves such as grass field and photosynthesis.

 But those goat mounts are also very special, because the forum said that their grass field is almost instantaneous, and the entire battle field will turn into a grass field as soon as the battle starts.

 The opponent's Pokémon has no chance to use provocation.

 In this case, we can only go back to the first method.

 Beside him, there happened to be a Pokémon that met the requirements.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming opened his eyes and said firmly to Naoki: "Mr. Naoki, I have already thought about it. Next, I will challenge the Green Grass Trial."

 Trial of green grass? Naoki looked at the goat behind him and asked, "Are you sure?"

 “Yeah.” Yang Ming nodded.

"Okay." Naoki said: "But unlike the other two trials, the battle mode of the Green Grass Trial is 3v3. You can use three Pokémon until all the mount goats lose their combat ability. Passed.”

"Three?" Yang Ming nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, please start!"

Seeing the expression on the boy opposite him, Naoki guessed that he had already thought of a response strategy.

 He was a little curious in his heart, what method would Yang Ming use to challenge the Green Grass Trial?

 The battle officially begins.

 Naoki’s mount, the goat, walked to the battle field.

 In the first battle, Yang Ming sent out a Pokémon that surprised Naoki.

Small body, covered with large pieces of fluffy and soft cotton.

That's the Wind Fairy, a fairy and grass-type Pokémon.

 The battle began, and the mount goat instantly released a field of green grass that enveloped the entire battle field.

Yang Ming ordered the wind fairy to use Downwind.

 Tailwind: A flying-type move that blows a tailwind for a period of time, increasing the speed of all Pokémon on your side.

Seeing this scene, Naoki narrowed his eyes. Is it a good wind? interesting.

 "Mount goat, vine whip!" In response, Naoki chose to use his strength to defeat the enemy.

 “Yeah!”

The mount goat screamed, and two huge vine whips as thick as pythons flew out and rushed towards the wind fairy at extremely fast speeds.

Seeing this terrifying move, the wind fairy let out a panicked cry, and the next second, the two vine whips intertwined and trapped it.

Seeing that the vine whip was about to strangle the wind fairy, the wind fairy squeezed out of the gap by taking advantage of its petite size.

Seeing this situation, Yang Ming took the opportunity to order: "Wind Fairy, use Sunny Sky!"

The wind fairy worked hard, and under the influence of the favorable wind, its body floated around the field like a dandelion.

 At first, Naoki didn’t know what the opponent wanted to do by sending the wind fairy.

 But with the use of the sunny move, he reacted instantly.

 Yang Ming is providing an advantage to the next Pokémon in the battle environment!

 Aware of this, Naoki ordered without hesitation: "Mount the goat, don't give it a chance, use the leaf blade!"

 “Yeah!”

 The command was given, and the green energy of the grass burst out from the mount goat's mouth. Almost instantly, a huge Holy Sword of Grass automatically condensed and formed.

 The next second, the body of the mounted goat shot out like a cluster of arrows. It only took a moment to defeat the wind fairy who was using Sunny Sky.

Yang Ming's heart was already in his throat, and he nervously looked up at the sky.

 The sunshine gradually becomes stronger, the temperature begins to rise, and the golden sunshine shines on the earth.

Seeing this scene, Yangming felt happy in his heart. Yes! It was successfully used on a sunny day!

 “Come back! Wind Fairy, your mission has been completed, thank you for your hard work!” Yang Ming took out the elf ball and took the Wind Fairy back.

 At this moment, he had a chance of winning in his heart.

“Are you going to use a fire-type Pokémon to defeat the Mount Goat in one move?” Naoki nodded: “It’s a good idea. If so, let me show it to you!”

 So far, only Dan Emperor has passed the Green Grass Trial.

Now Naoki is very curious whether a second qualified trainer will be born today.

 Otherwise, he would feel that the difficulty of the Green Grass Trial was too exaggerated, and planned to lower the difficulty.

 “Yes!” Yang Ming nodded seriously. In order to live up to the chief’s expectations, he would go all out in today’s battle!

 In the second battle, Yangming sent out a Yeib.

 The battle begins again.

Although he was looking forward to the second person passing the Green Grass Trial, Naoki did not deliberately give up because of this.

 Hence, as soon as the battle began, he gave the attack command directly to the goat.

"Again!"

 The mounted goat started the starting pose.

Yangming looked at the green grass energy surging from the mount goat's mouth, and his palms began to sweat, but he still remained calm and gave instructions to Yeib:

“Yeb, listen clearly, don’t confront the mount goat head-on. Once you have the chance, use Sword Dance, and then use the avatar to dodge the attack. Until you can’t hold on any longer, use the baton immediately!”

 “Bu Yi!”

 Yeib also felt the strength of his opponent at this moment.

At this moment, the mount goat rushed towards Yeyibu again with a leaf blade in its mouth.

At the trainer's command, almost instantly, Yeib used a substitute, leaving a small dinosaur doll on the spot, and the real body disappeared.

 The moment the substitute ended, Yeyibu seized the opportunity and used Sword Dance.

At the same time, the Holy Sword of Grass, which was mounted on a goat, instantly defeated Ye Yibu's substitute.

 “That guy, what are you planning to do?” Nanako, who was watching the battle, couldn’t help but frown.

At this time, Zhi Shu had already seen Yang Ming’s plan.

  Is the substitute and sword dance also foreshadowing the next step?

 If he remembered correctly, Yeib can use the baton move.

　　　Baton transfer is a move with general attributes. It allows Pokémon to directly exchange with the backup Pokémon.

 What’s even more amazing is that the replaced Pokémon can directly inherit its ability changes.

Whether it’s a favorable wind, a sunny day, or a sword dance, it’s all paving the way for the last Pokémon to take the stage.

 “Interesting.” This was the first time Naoki encountered a trainer who would use this tactic in real life.

It is indeed the Pardea region that is full of talented people!

With this thought in his mind, he ordered without mercy on his face: "Mount the goat and use your vine whip with all your strength to sweep around!"

 Pokémon will not disappear out of thin air after using a Stand, but will appear in other directions on the battlefield.

 The stand-in dinosaurs are nothing more than items and props they create using energy to confuse their opponents.

 After the command was given, the mount goat erupted with an extremely terrifying green grass energy.

Those energy turned into two huge vine whips, with the mount goat as the center, and began to carry out an indiscriminate sweeping attack towards the entire battlefield.

Looking at this scene, both Yang Ming and Nanako could not help but open their eyes wide.

Nanako murmured: "What exactly is going on?"

Yang Ming, on the other hand, felt that his heart was about to jump into his throat. He quickly ordered loudly: "Dig a hole, use Dig Hole!"

 “Bu Yi!”

On the field, Ye Yibu saw the two rattan whips that looked like electric fans, and he was so frightened that he was blinded.

Until it heard the trainer's voice, it panicked and dug a hole into the ground.

　　Naoki: "Mount the goat and use heavy pedaling to force it out!"

　　The mounted goat retracted its vine whip, its eyes became sharp, and then it stepped heavily on the ground with its front feet.

 The next second, the entire battlefield began to tremble violently.

 “Boom!”

Yeb, who was underground, was squeezed by the soil and had to be forced out of the ground.

 What awaits it on the ground is a huge vine whip mounted on a goat.

Yeb looked up at the huge vine whip in front of him and jumped up from the ground in fright.

 “Bu Yi!”

Seeing that the vine whip was about to hit him, Yeyibu used his final substitute.

 At this moment, it has almost exhausted its energy after using the substitute twice in a row.

 What did the trainer just say?

 Ultimately when you can no longer hold on, use the baton!

 “Bu Yi!”

 Yeib did not hesitate at all and directly used the baton.

 Its body turned into a beam of light and automatically returned to the Poké Ball, replacing the Pokémon in it.

 Yeb: Next, it’s up to you!

And in that light, a Pokémon covered in purple armor, with blazing purple flames burning on its blade-shaped arms, appeared at the location where Yeib last appeared.

 That's...the Blue Flame Blade Ghost!

Yangming also immediately threw a bead towards the Cangyan Blade Ghost.

The bead fell on the Blue Flame Blade Ghost, and a dazzling light burst out instantly.

 In the light, the body of the Blue Flame Blade Ghost was shrouded in Taijing energy.

 On top of its head, a candlestick and flames also appeared.

That is the symbol of Tai Jinghuo.

 The current Blue Flame Blade Ghost is no longer an ordinary Blue Flame Blade Ghost.

It inherits Ye Yibu's two sword dances, the wind fairy's tail wind and the clear sky's complete Tai Jing Fire Blue Flame Blade Demon.

Seeing this scene, Naoki couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

 “You are so young and promising!” he sighed.

 Although he also had a crystal bead that could crystallize his mount goat, he did not carry the crystal bead with him, but kept it at home.

 It is impossible to interrupt the battle and go out to find him now.

"This is our last strength, Mr. Naoki, please help us test it!" Yang Ming's eyes burned with blazing fire: "Blue Flame Blade Demon, use the Sword of Regret!"

 “Mount goat, let’s come too!” Zhi Shu said softly.

 The command was given, and the two Pokémon started to move at the same time.

　　The huge Holy Sword of Grass condensed from the mouth of the mount goat.

The Blue Flame Blade Demon gently pressed his forehead against his own blade, as if concentrating his memories of the world on the tip of the sword.

 Its body burned with blazing purple flames, and then, it swung its sword blade and slashed at the goat.

 The majestic flame energy and the green grass energy of the mount goat continued to collide and offset, and finally reached the critical value, and a violent explosion occurred.

 The entire battlefield was flooded by bright light, and waves of scorching fire spread in all directions.

Yang Ming was extremely nervous.

 Can you win?

 After a moment, he got the answer.

On the battlefield, the powerful mount goat fell to the ground, while his Cangyan Blade Ghost stood not far away, looking at the mount goat calmly.

Won!

Yang Ming was extremely excited.

However, the next second, a large amount of grass energy surged out of the grass field.

These energies entered the body of the mount goat, and in the blink of an eye, the mount goat stood up from the ground again.

Yangming:? !

how so? Yangming opened his mouth wide, what an exaggerated reply effect!

 Naoki: “…”

How could the goat, which was favored by nature, fall down so easily?

 They were chosen by the World Tree, just like the grass in this world, with endless life.

 But it is no longer necessary to go on, for no one can defeat the goat, which never falls.

Zhi Shu recognized the young man’s will and spirit and didn’t mind letting him go a little bit.

 “Come back, mount goat!” He called back the mount goat: “We lost this battle.”

Yang Ming was slightly startled.

 Zhi Shu smiled and continued: "There are two more!"

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, and then nodded heavily.

"I see!"

 The Mount Goat and the Blue Flame Blade Ghost collided again.

 Five minutes later, with the fall of the last mount goat, the second trainer who passed the Green Grass Trial was born.

Nanako opened her eyes in shock: "You actually passed!"

Yang Ming tried hard to stay calm and calm: "This is the result of the hard work of the Pokémon and I! Wind Fairy, Leafy Eevee, Bulbasaur, and Crimson Blade, thank you!"

 After defeating a powerful enemy, all the Pokémon felt as happy as their trainers.

Zhi Shu looked at the young man with a smile and said, "Congratulations, you successfully passed the Green Grass Trial. As a reward, you can get the magical fruit wine brewed by me."

However, Yang Ming didn't care very much. He turned around and looked at Zhishu, ready to try the hidden test in the pasture.

“Mr. Naoki, can you tell me now what the hidden trial is in the ranch?”

Hearing this, Naoki was slightly startled and asked with interest: "Do you really want to know?"

 “Yeah!” Yang Ming nodded quickly.

"There's really nothing we can do against you, but since you have passed the Green Grass Trial, it means you are qualified to challenge it." Naoki turned back and looked at Gulledon.

 “Ah gah hiss.” So Leden stepped forward knowingly.

 Zhi Shu introduced the two of them: "This is Gulton. The next trial is the ancient trial. The content of the trial is to fight against Gulton."

“But what’s different from other trials is that in this trial you can find teammates and form a doubles battle. Gulledon will also have a teammate at the same time, and the rules are 2v2 mode.”

“Of course, it’s okay for you to command your two Pokémon by yourself.”

Looking at the Pokémon named Guluton in front of him, Yang Ming's eyes were excited, and he planned to challenge it all at once.

 “I want to give it a try!”

"good."

Zhi Shu smiled slightly, but didn’t say much.

 He returned to the battlefield, and Yangming still sent out the Blue Flame Blade Demon.

 The battle officially begins.

The Blue Flame Blade Ghost tried to use the Regret Sword to attack Guluton, but before it could make a move, Guluton had already arrived in front of it.

With a claw swung out, the Blue Flame Blade Demon was beaten until he lost the ability to fight.

Yangming:? ? !

 “So, so strong!” Nanako opened her mouth in disbelief, looking shocked.

This Pokémon is actually stronger than the three mounts Goat and Dragon!

At this moment, both Yang Ming and Nanako understood what Naoki meant when he said before that they were not qualified to challenge the hidden trials before passing the three major trials.

That Guluton is stronger than they imagined. Its strength may have reached another level!

“Mr. Naoki, is this the hidden trial in the ranch?” Nanako asked with a trembling voice.

Zhishu thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said: "No, in addition to Guluton's ancient trial, there are several more trials, but those... let's talk about it after you defeat Guluton!"

 Defeat Guluton? !

Doesn’t that mean that the remaining Pokémon in the trial are stronger than Guluton?

So Luton's strength has exceeded their imagination, and they simply don't dare to think about the strength of the remaining Pokémon...

The two of them looked around, trying to find a Pokémon stronger than Gullton among the Pokémon around them.

 Zhi Shu saw their thoughts, but did not explain. Instead, he smiled and waved.

Helping my brother’s care, the waiter knew it, so he turned around and left, and soon came back with three portions of fruit wine.

"Take it! This is your reward for passing the trial. As the second trainer to pass, the other two bottles are additional rewards I give you. I am very happy that you let me see a wonderful battle. Your wisdom The courage is so admirable!" Naoki said.

Yangming lowered his head and looked at the three bottles of fruit wine.

And Nanako noticed the keyword "second place".

She asked in surprise: "Has there been someone who passed the test before this guy?"

 Zhi Shu nodded slightly: "Yes, that is a very powerful trainer."

 “Is it the chief?” Nanako asked in surprise.

 In the Padia region, the chief is the most powerful trainer.

 Zhi Shu shook his head: "No, Chief, she is busy with her work and has no time to challenge the trial."

Nanako nodded in shock.

Zhi Shu introduced the effects of these fruit wines to Yang Ming one by one.

At first, Yang Ming and Nanako thought it was just ordinary fruit wine.

　　Until they heard from Naoki that these fruit wines could increase Pokémon's resistance to abnormal conditions, the two of them suddenly showed shocked expressions on their faces.

"Really?"

"Of course." Naoki said: "This is fruit wine that I brewed using my family's secret method. It is blended with the essence of the fruit. It can improve the physique of Pokémon and help them grow better."

 “How amazing!” Nanako exclaimed, looking at the fruit wine with eyes full of envy.

She wants it too, but she can't pass the test yet...

Furthermore, her Pokémon are all grass-type Pokémon, so there is no way to use the tactics like Yang Ming.

Ahhhh! It’s so nerve-wracking!

Compared to Nanako's depression, Yang Ming is much calmer.

“Thank you very much, Mr. Naoki, but this is too valuable and I can’t accept it, and the chief has already prepared a reward for me.”

 Hearing this, Naoki was very surprised.

Huh? This guy is quite interesting.

"This is the reward you deserve." Naoki said: "Every trainer who passes will receive it. It is my gift to the brave."

Hearing this, Yangming opened his mouth, and then seriously accepted the fruit wine: "Thank you, Mr. Naoki!"

Mr. Naoki is indeed as good as the rumors circulating in the town. He is a great man!

   *

Shortly after seeing off the two challengers, Naoki quickly received a video call from Yeci.

"How about it?"

Zhi Shu smiled and said: "The trainer named Yang Ming is quite interesting. Apart from Dan Emperor, he is also the first trainer to pass the Green Grass Trial."

  Naoki told in detail what happened today.

 After hearing this, Yeci's eyes showed a strange light.

“In that case, this trainer’s talent is very good!”

“So, where is my certificate of kingship?” Naoki asked.

"Don't worry." Yeci smiled and said, "I have entrusted Qingmu to help you find it!"

　　Naoki: "...Don't tire out Aoki. When I saw him before, I felt that his whole body was weak."

However, after hearing this, Yeci smiled and said: "Qingmu has been very energetic recently! I have heard that he often buys that magical goat milk from your ranch."

“And the people in the sales department also told me that if Aoki drinks goat milk, his work efficiency will increase several times!”

 Speaking of this, Yeci suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot one thing, Naoki, do you want to cooperate with me?"

Zhi Shu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "What kind of cooperation?"

Yeci: "Sell the goat milk in your pasture to the Padian Alliance, and we can order it at a high price!"

 Naoki: “…”

"Ahem, let's forget about this matter." Zhi Shu decisively rejected Ye Ci's proposal. He didn't want to become Ye Ci's accomplice: "Just relying on external objects to improve energy is okay for a short time, but it can be like this for a long time." If it does, it will be harmful to the body!”

Hearing this, Yeci was very surprised: "Huh? Is it harmful? Seeing how energetic Aoki is, I thought the goat milk in your pasture was coffee without side effects!"

Goat milk does have no side effects, but people always need a good rest. If you work on goat milk every day, it will be too much like a machine.

Thinking of this, Naoki nodded solemnly and said: "Everything is addictive, so it is better to be natural, unless you really need to use it, or you plan to replenish your body."

“Okay.” After hearing that long-term drinking of goat milk can lead to addiction, Yeci gave up the plan.

"Then if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first!" Naoki was very worried but still had a ruthless heart, and wanted to continue talking with him about how to exploit the poor workers.

However, Yeci talked about another thing.

“By the way, Naoki, do you have a good relationship with Qishu?”

Zhi Shu was a little surprised: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"It's okay!" Yeci shook his head: "I just feel like you are very familiar with each other."

  She used to occasionally go to see what her gym leaders were doing.

After hearing that Qishu started the live broadcast, Yeci took a curious look.

At that time in the live broadcast room, she saw Qishu vaguely advertising Zhishu Ranch.

 After thinking about it, Zhi Shu said: "Maybe it's because Qi Shu comes to the ranch more often!"

Most of the other gym leaders have only been here once, but Qishu is the one who has been here the most.

 "That's it..." Ye Ci nodded thoughtfully.

 The woman's intuition told her that the situation here must be unusual.

 Because as far as she knew, Qishu was not the kind of gym leader who worked hard to improve his strength.

After thinking for a while, Yeci asked: "Did Qishu have any challenges when he went there?"

Zhi Shu thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "It's a challenge."

 This is even more strange, also said compassionately.

 Looking at Naoki opposite, an incredible guess suddenly appeared in her mind.

  Qishu, could she be...

Seeing Yeci's expression, Naoki was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"

Yeci came back to his senses, shook his head with a smile and said: "It's okay, I'll beg you for the next challenger! I have something else to do here, so I won't talk about it for now, and we'll talk about it later!"

 After hanging up the phone, Yeci had a curious expression on his face.

 She planned to go back and find out what Qishu said.

If it was as she suspected, she wouldn't mind serving as a matchmaker for once.

 Looking back, if the two people were together, Naoki would have stayed in the Padia area, and she wouldn't have to worry about Naoki moving to other areas.

 When they get married, she can also attend and serve as a witness.

 At this moment, Yeci thought a lot.

A talented person like Naoki will surely give birth to a child who is also very good.

Those are the future talents of the Padia region!

   *

 Three days later, the headquarters of the Padian Alliance.

Yang Ming walked into this tall building wearing a suit.

 Three days ago, he reported to the chief that he had passed the trial.

 The chief also distributed the reward to him as promised before.

 A generous bonus and a promotion to work in the Padya Alliance sales department.

 Yang Ming felt extremely honored for this matter.

 He walked into the sales department building with expectations for new work and vision for the future.

 In the office, Yang Ming saw a very famous figure.

That person is none other than his senior, the master of the Jinhui Gym, and Mr. Aoki, the King of Flying!

 Yangming felt happy, was he going to become colleagues with his senior?

 He happily walked forward and greeted Aoki:

“Good morning, senior! I am Yang Ming, a staff member from the sales department who has just been transferred. Please take care of me!”

 Aoki: “…”

 He looked at the young man with a tired face.

 Young people who were always full of energy and spirit... are really missed!

 Aoki nodded to the young man and said, "Well, hello, I have to go do something. Let's talk next time."

 “Ah, good senior!” Yang Ming quickly got out of the way and watched the senior’s figure gradually go away.
