Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 486 Lightning Bird and Lightning Bun

  Year 200 of the Alliance Calendar, December 15th, winter.

 This morning, the heroes expedition team returned to the ranch after traveling for a year.

Coming back with him is Jirachi, the wishing star of the Seven Nights.

 As the Lightning Bird landed in the pasture, Jirachi happily jumped into Naoki's arms.

 The Pokémon's tone was full of joy: "Naoki! We are back!"

Mew and Baby Bear also ran over. Naoki held the three Pokémon in his arms and ravaged them for a while, and did not let go until their fur was rubbed into a mess.

“Are you happy traveling outside?” Naoki asked with a smile.

 Meng Meng and Baby Bear shook their bodies, trying to get their raised fur to lie back down.

The hairless Jirachi replied: "Happy! I saw a lot of things and made a lot of friends!"

"That's good." Seeing how snowy they were, Naoki called a few Pokémon into the living room and prepared some snacks for them.

 The four Pokémon immediately started feasting, their cheeks bulging with food.

Zhi Shu looked at this scene with a smile.

“Oh, by the way, during the time you left, the World Tree has grown up, and with the help of Giratina’s power, it has already flown into the sky!”

 “One?!”

  “miu?”

 Hearing these words, Meng Meng and Baby Bear had expressions of surprise on their faces.

Zhi Shu nodded: "You can go over and take a look later."

Several Pokémon happily agreed.

The Lightning Bird on the side also looked ready to move.

It came to this place for the World Tree. Now, has that tree finally grown?

Lightning Bird's body was shaking with excitement.

 A yellow feather slowly fell naturally from its body.

Brother Ai Guanshi, who was standing by, noticed the feather.

It’s his job to clean, so his brother Cui Shi immediately picked up the broom and swept the feather into the trash can.

　　 Naoki, who was sitting on the sofa, saw this scene with sharp eyes.

He just glanced briefly, and the information about the feather appeared in his mind.

  【Lightning Bird Feathers: The feathers of the Lightning Bird contain powerful thunder power and may be used to make dishes, but the effect is unknown. 】

 Did the Lightning Bird lose its feathers?

 “Wait!” Naoki shouted and stopped.

Brother loves to care about the movements in the hands of the waiter. It stood beside the trash can with the feather in bewilderment and looked over with a blank face.

 The Pokémon on the side such as Zapdos, Mew, and Baby Bear also turned their heads and looked at the feather.



Shedding hair is not a big surprise for it, because every year, it will naturally shed many feathers on its body.

“That feather is not trash, don’t throw it away, leave it to me!” Naoki said to his brother Ai Tushu.

Although my brother was puzzled, he still sent the feather over.

 So when Zhi Shu looked up, he saw the Lightning Bird staring at him sharply.

 Naoki: “…”

Lightning Bird:?

 What does Naoki do with its fallen feathers? Do you want to use it for collection?

 But it’s just an ordinary feather of little value?

Lightning Bird was full of doubts.

Zhi Shu thought about it and realized that instead of secretly making lightning buns and being embarrassed by the owner later, it would be better to tell the lightning bird his plan directly.

Therefore, he explained: "This is not an ordinary feather. With my ability, it can be turned into a dish full of magical effects. As long as the Pokémon eats it, it can become stronger."

Hearing this, Lightning Bird was a little speechless, with a look of disbelief on his face.

 …Want to eat the feathers that fall off its body?

Just thinking about it makes me feel sick to my stomach!

Is that kind of thing really edible?

Zhi Shu immediately saw the idea of ​​​​Lightning Bird. If we use humans to describe it, this behavior is probably using human hair or hair to make food, right?

　　vomit…it’s really disgusting.

Zhi Shu awkwardly explained to Lightning Bird: "Although it sounds a bit bad, the actual finished product is still good. Babu Woodchuck had eaten Lightning Buns before, so it became what it is today."

 Baboo... Zapdos knows this Pokémon.

The other party possesses a powerful electric power, which is no less powerful than it.

 Ke Zhishu said, that Babu woodchuck also ate lightning buns... when?

 “Chirp?”

Zhi Shu laughed and replied: "When the Heroes Expedition met you for the first time, Baby Bear picked up one of your feathers and gave it to me."

 After Naoki mentioned it, Mengmeng and Baby Bear also remembered it.

 “One thing…” It seems that this is indeed the case!

Lightning Bird: “…”

 Forget it, it’s not for him to eat anyway, so Naoki can do whatever he likes!

Having been traveling outside for a whole year, I didn’t feel anything outside before. Now, as soon as I return to the familiar pasture and are in this safe environment, several Pokémon feel weak, tired and lack of energy.

Zhi Shu noticed their state and said, "If you are tired, go and have a good sleep first!"

Several Pokémon were very obedient and went to bed obediently.

 They did not go to the World Tree, but stayed directly at home.

Lightning Bird started to sleep while standing on the floor, while Mew, Baby Bear, and Jirachi ran to Naoki's bed.

 The three Pokémon fell asleep next to each other.

Naoki went to the glass flower room to find King Lei Guan, and asked him to use super powers to crush the feather into powder form.

Soon, he returned home with a jar of lightning bird feather powder.

 Naoki took part of it to make lightning buns, and kept the remaining part for future use.

 Knead the dough, ferment it, knead it, add feather powder, and then shape it into a steamed bun shape. Finally, put it in a pot and start steaming it.

In this way, five lightning steamed buns are completed.

This series of processes took a lot of time. After the steamed buns were steamed, several Pokémon sleeping in the room also woke up.

　　When Naoki placed these five yellow and plump steamed buns in front of them, both Lightning Bird and Meng Meng were very shocked.

 Because they can feel a powerful energy from these steamed buns!

Lightning Bird's face was full of astonishment and shock.

 Is this food made from its feathers?

[Lightning Steamed Bun (S+): Legendary cuisine, made from feather powder from the legendary Pokémon. It is said that after eating it, you can control thunder and lightning.

Cooking effect: Thor, after eating it, Pokémon can gain the power of thunder and lightning. It can control thunder and lightning at will like the owner of feathers. Huge lightning will fall from the clouds at your fingertips. It is limited to electric Pokémon, and one Pokémon Dreams can only be consumed once.

Rating: This is a unique dish in the world, feed it to your electric Pokémon! Warning, do not eat indoors! ]

Zhishu glanced at the information on these steamed buns with a smile, then looked at the Lightning Bird and asked:

“How about it? Do you want to give it a try? If you eat it, your strength will become stronger!”

 His tone was full of temptation.

 Suddenly, Lightning Bird showed a hesitant look on his face.

 It wants to become stronger, but when it thinks about the food made from its feathers, it feels a little nauseous.

 “One by one?” (Can we become more powerful after eating it?) The baby bear on the side couldn’t help but ask.

Zhi Shu shook his head: "No, this dish is only effective for electric Pokémon like Zapdos, but if you want to eat it, you can also try the taste."

Hearing this, Baby Bear shook his head: "What!" (Forget it, there are only these steamed buns, let's leave them to the electric Pokémon in need!)

Mew and Jirachi also have this idea.

 Zhi Shu was very pleased with these sensible Pokémon.

 He touched their heads, and then looked at the Lightning Bird.

 “Want to give it a try?”

Lightning Bird: “…”

This proud bird Pokémon couldn't resist the temptation in the end.

Anyway, it wants to give it a try!

 “Very good, let’s go outside!”

It is still snowing outside, everyone is staying at home, and the pasture is in a remote location, so Zhi Shu is not worried that others will notice the movement he makes.

The group of people came outside the house, and the lightning bird stood in the heavy snow and ate the lightning bun.

 At first, there was no reaction on it.

 But when the Lightning Bird ate all the steamed buns, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

I saw a dark cloud floating in the originally gray sky. Then, a huge bolt of lightning fell straight from the dark cloud and landed on the Lightning Bird.

　　Strong air currents surged from the body of the Lightning Bird in all directions, and the Lightning Bird in the midst of it looked excited.

 Because it can clearly feel that the power of thunder and lightning in its body is changing!

 Its power has become stronger!

 “Chirp!”

 Suddenly, the Lightning Bird looked up to the sky and let out a sharp cry.

 A strong electric energy was released from its body towards the sky.

When the electric energy was submerged into the thundercloud, the next second, the gathering thundercloud was defeated by the Lightning Bird.

 The accidents stopped and everything around him returned to silence.

The sky and the earth returned to a vast expanse of white.

  The aura on Lightning Bird has become stronger. "Congratulations, Lightning Bird." Naoki said.

Judging from the appearance of Lightning Bird, it seems to have been greatly improved.

There are many lightning birds in this world, and the most powerful among them is undoubtedly the lightning bird from Asia Island, which is called the God of Thunder.

 The other Lightning Birds are all ordinary Lightning Birds.

“I wonder how powerful the current lightning bird is compared to the God of Thunder...” Naoki murmured in his heart.

 The Lightning Bird's face was full of excitement.

When everyone returned to the living room, they saw the sharp eyes of Lightning Bird staring at the four remaining steamed buns on the plate.

 Naoki: “…”

 Who just found it disgusting to eat one's own feathers?

Lightning Bird seems to have forgotten what he just said.

Zhi Shu could only explain: "Each Pokémon can only eat it once, and it will have no effect the second time."

Hearing this, Lightning Bird's face suddenly showed a look of regret.

At that moment, it even thought of giving more feathers to Naoki and letting him make steamed buns.

 “啾…” What a pity…

But soon, a new idea came to Lightning Bird’s mind.

Since its feathers can be made into dishes, what about the other two birds’ feathers?

 Flame Bird, and Freezing Bird.

Thinking of this, Lightning Bird asked.

 “Chirp?” (Are the feathers of Flamebird and Freezebird effective?)

Zhishu was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what the lightning bird meant.

"If I guessed correctly, there should be some. The feathers of the flame bird can be made into flame steamed buns, and the feathers of the frozen bird can be made into frozen steamed buns." He explained.

Lightning Bird nodded its head, and light flashed in its eyes.

Decided! Turn around and it will grab the feathers of those two Pokémon!

 Zhi Shu had no idea what Lightning Bird was thinking.

 After resting, the Hero Expedition Team and Jirachi went to the World Tree with great anticipation to see their future home.

 After a few months, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the World Tree.

The bustling expedition guild, Mililong who opened the restaurant, Dangyangban who ran the cafe, Overlord Flower who sold various props, Mu Shugong and Oliva who worked hard to take care of the orchard...

Looking at this scene, the eyes of several Pokémon in the Hero Expedition were filled with light.

 “One!”

 This is simply the expedition guild of its dreams!

  “miu…”

Meng Meng also stared blankly at the scene in front of him. It wasn't until Chaomeng felt its breath move instantly that Meng Meng came back to his senses.

 “Meng.” Chaomeng calmly nodded to Mian.

 “miu!” Mengmeng also happily greeted Chaomeng.

Although they are traveling outside, they often chat with Mewtwo through Rotom mobile phones.

 Under the leadership of Chaomeng, several Pokémon began to visit the current World Tree. On the way, Chaomeng introduced everything here to them from time to time.

 Guild headquarters, farmland, mill, orchard, training ground, item shop, Pokémon hospital…

 Wait until you have visited all the places.

 A group of Pokémon went to the tavern run by Meowth and Pikachu for a drink.

 Baby Bear and Dream looked around. They didn’t know why, but they always felt like there was something missing in this place.

After Baby Bear mentioned it, Meng also discovered that he was not the only Pokémon who had this idea.

So the question is, what is missing?

 “Ichi!” It’s Naoki!

 Without Naoki here, it wouldn’t feel like home anymore…

 It would be great if Naoki could also come to the World Tree and live with them.

 Meng Meng and Baby Bear looked at each other.

 Then he called Naoki on his Rotom mobile phone.

Soon, the call was connected, and Naoki's voice came from the other end.

 “Hello? What’s wrong? Did something happen on the World Tree?”

"What's going on?" The baby bear shook his head repeatedly, indicating that nothing happened. Then, he asked expectantly: "What's going on?" (Will Naoki come to the World Tree to live with everyone?)

Zhi Shu didn’t expect Baby Bear to ask this question.

He thought for a moment and then replied: "Of course, but not now."

 “miu?” (When is that?) Dream asked.

 Naoki: “Probably in a few decades!”

At that time, they will all be old, and the familiar people in this world will slowly pass away.

 At that time, if he has children, he will pass the pasture to the children, and then he and Qishu will go to live on the World Tree with Guluton and the Electric Belly Frog.

It doesn’t matter if their bodies grow old, they can live on forever in the form of souls.

 In that case, they should be regarded as a different kind of "ghost Pokémon", right?

 As long as they do not go to the spiritual world to participate in reincarnation, they can live on the World Tree forever with everyone.

 This is Naoki’s current plan for the future.

This way, he doesn’t have to worry about the issue of longevity and can always be with Guluton and the others.

   *

 At the same time, Niangguang City.

 In a mansion.

Qishu’s parents looked at their daughter opposite curiously.

“My daughter has even changed her hairstyle. It seems that she has really grown up this time!” the man holding the newspaper in his hand exclaimed.

However, the woman saw some clues: "Are you in love?"

 “Eh?!” The man on the side looked surprised.

Qishu giggled there: "He is a very good person!"

 The woman narrowed her eyes: "Is it the same person from last time?"

Qishu did not hide it from his parents and nodded in recognition.

 Seeing this, the couple didn't know what to say for a while.

Thinking that this was her daughter’s first love, the woman couldn’t help but say:

“I don’t have much experience to impart to you, but I have something to say. This sentence was once said by a great celebrity.”

 Qishu looked at his mother.

Woman: "Love is a two-way road. Both parties need to go to each other together so that two people can live together for a long time. If one of them is only willing to stay where he is and blindly let the other go to him, then the two of them are doomed." Not a good match."

Qishu was slightly startled: "What do you mean?"

Woman: "It means that the feelings are mutual. If you want to last a long time, the lives of two people need to slowly integrate, and sometimes they have to make changes for each other."

　　奇树: “…It doesn’t seem that exaggerated, right?”

 At this moment, her Rotom cell phone suddenly rang.

 When she opened it, she found that Naoki had sent her a message.

　　【Naoki: Come to the ranch with your Pokémon quickly, I have a gift for you! 】

Gift?

Qishu’s eyes lit up and he immediately ran back to his room to talk on the phone.

 In the living room, the couple looked at their daughter’s back with helpless expressions on their faces.

 At this moment, the man suddenly remembered something.

 My daughter once asked them to buy something in a small store.

 He took out his mobile phone and started to search, and sure enough, he saw the words "Zhishu Ranch".

 “This store should be owned by that guy, right?” The man stared.

  “...What do you want to do?”

"Of course I want to see what that guy is like. This is the first time our daughter has fallen in love. It would be bad if she was deceived by a bad guy." The man said confidently.

 He decided to visit the ranch pretending to be a passerby.

 The woman looked at her husband helplessly: "How do you plan to understand?"

 The man took it for granted: "Of course it's the trainer's way!"

　　Observe each other’s temper and temperament through Pokémon battles.

  Sometimes, Pokémon battles are often the best way to see a person clearly.

Although the other party is now a rancher, judging from the appearance of Qishu, he must have also been a trainer.

 If that person doesn’t even have the courage to fight him, it means he is a coward!

 If you want to gain his approval, you must defeat him head-on!

Looking back on the trip he took to the gym to collect badges, the strength of his Pokémon partners had already reached the gym leader level.

The sword must be still young now.

Then next, let’s let that kid see his gym leader-level strength!
