Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 493 Waterfall practice, cutting off the way to the waterfall!

  Padia region, North 2nd District, Luanzhao Waterfall.

In the bamboo forest surrounded by streams, a large group of Pokémon were listening to Naoki's speech quite seriously.

 Ghosts, Jigglypuffs, Aphrodisiac mushrooms, Throwing Monkeys, Green Sheepbirds, Four Seasons Deers, Shuttlecock Grasses, Pink Butterflies, Moru Moths…

“Everyone, listen up, if anyone can help me find this thing in the picture, I can give it a big box of energy cubes and poffins!”

Naoki looked at the group of wild Pokémon in front of him who were attracted by the scent, and immediately decided to repeat his old trick and use his own Viridian Power to hire these Pokémon living near the Luanshui Waterfall to help find the Fire Temple. .

The Power of Viridian can greatly increase his affinity towards wild Pokémon.

In addition, most modern Pokémon have a docile temperament, so when Naoki took out the Poffin and Energy Cube from his bag, he quickly attracted a group of curious Pokémon.

As soon as these words came out, just as Naoki expected, the eyes of these greedy Pokémon shone with joy.

One of the throwing monkeys even let out a series of monkey calls, expressing excitedly that no one is more familiar with this place than it!

 Just find something and give it to it!

However, upon hearing this, the Bulu Gugu on the side fisted in dissatisfaction.

That expression seems to say: This kind of good thing cannot be exclusive to Throwing Monkey Pokémon!

Not to be outdone, the throwing monkey jumped twice, as if it refused to obey anyone.

Seeing that the two Pokémon were about to fight over this matter, Naoki quickly said:

"You can search together. As long as you find it together, everyone can get the reward."

 The ghost in the group let out a happy cry, as if to say it liked the idea.

Ghost floated away happily, it liked this treasure hunt game.

 Other Pokémon also turned around and ran out.

　　　The Throwing Monkey and the Apocalypse Mushroom looked at each other, as if neither one was convinced by the other, then turned their heads and ran away in the opposite direction.

 The temperaments of these two guys seem to be a bit incompatible!

But speaking of it, Pokémon in the wild are really interesting. Even if there are no humans, the way they get along with each other can be so interesting.

There are more Pokémon helpers this time than yesterday.

In order to receive their news in time, Zhi Shu did not move around at will, but stayed under the Luanzhi Waterfall.

However, looking at the spectacular waterfall in front of him, Naoki couldn't help but think of Green Onion Duck's plan to cut off the waterfall.

 After pondering for a moment, he said to Kuailong next to him: "Kailong."

 “Ouch?” Kuailong turned his head and looked over.

"Can you go to the ranch and bring the Green Onion Duck here for me? I want to see the results of its previous special training." Naoki smiled and touched Kuailong's head and said.

 “Aww~” Kuailong happily agreed.

 Then, it flapped its dragon wings and flew away.

Time passed by minute by minute. While waiting, Naoki spread a layer of picnic cloth among the bamboo forest.

 Then they put some food on it, and they sat in the forest, waiting and watching the wind blow the bamboo leaves falling.

At this time, the first Pokémon sent out by Naoki to find the Fire Temple and the stakes came back.

That was the ghost just now.

 It said excitedly: "Kou Jie~!"

 “Found it?” Naoki asked hurriedly.

Guisi nodded repeatedly: "Kou Jie, Kou Jie!"

Then, it turned around and floated ahead to lead the way.

Zhi Shu followed behind it, and as expected, he saw a glowing stake halfway up the mountain.

Although the specific location of the Fire Temple has not yet been found, it does not matter if these piles are pulled out in advance.

 “Well done! Ghost!” Naoki praised.

This wild ghost looks very happy as it floats up and down with purple smoke billowing from its body.

 “Kou Jie!” This game is fun!

Ghost likes to play games. It used to be a Pokémon living in this forest. No one played with it, and Ghost felt very lonely.

 Now someone is playing the treasure hunt game with it, and the ghost is very happy.

 It couldn't wait to express to this human being: "Jie at the mouth!"

Zhi Shu was very surprised: "You mean to let me wait there for a while, and then you can help find a few glowing stakes?"

 “Kou Jie Kou Jie!” The purple mist on Guisi’s body kept surging, indicating that he was right!

 After saying that, it turned around and floated away quietly.

Looking at this scene, Naoki suddenly found that Pokémon like Ghost was quite cute.

 Simple and silly temperament, a little playful.

 Does it treat the task of finding stakes and the Temple of Fire as a game?

The Gengar evolved from Ghost is even more popular. Zhi Shu remembers that many people liked this fat purple guy in his previous life.

There are also many episodes in anime that feature "haunted" plots such as "haunted houses" and "ghost ships".

 The main character of “haunting”—ghost-type Pokémon usually include Gengar.

  Interestingly, most Gengars play tricks on people purely because they find it fun, and some deliberately scare people for certain purposes, but they rarely actively attack humans like wild candlelight spirits and crystal lantern spirits.

“That’s all, I’ll make sure to give this ghost some more energy cubes and gifts later!”

 Zhi Shu made a decision in his mind.

 When he returned to the bamboo forest, Kuailong had already brought the green onion duck.

Green Onion Duck was holding a green onion in his hand, looking at the surrounding bamboo forest and the huge waterfall flowing down with high spirits.

“Green Onion Duck, do you want to test the results of your practice this year here?” Naoki asked: “Use your green onions to cut off this waterfall!”

 “Gah!”

Hearing this, the Green Onion Duck walked to the waterfall carrying the green onions.

Naoki's words aroused its interest, and it also wanted to try its current sword skills to see how far it had been practiced.

 “Then give it a try!” Naoki encouraged.

 “Gah!”

 Green Onion Duck walked under the waterfall.

It held its breath attentively and felt the flow of the waterfall in front of it with its heart.

 The next second, it clenched the green onion in its hand.

I saw a flash of white light, and thick green onions slashed across the waterfall.

 The water falling from above stagnated slightly, but soon continued to flow.

"Well, although the power of this move looks very good, it is obviously still far from cutting off the waterfall." Naoki thought to himself.

 After a brief thought, he thought of the green onion duck and learned the spiritual sword from the tree fruit platter before.

It is a move that uses the power of mind to wrap the sword blade, and use powerful mental power to launch a rapid attack on the opponent.

If you use superpowers, you might be able to cut off the waterfall...

Zhi Shu said: "Green Onion Duck, use that move, Spirit Sword, and use your spiritual power to split the waterfall in front of you in two!"

 “Gah!”

 Green Onion Duck also thought of that move.

 A blue light immediately emerged from its eyes.

 An invisible superpower enveloped its green onion.

Green Onion Duck concentrated on holding his breath, and then swung his sword fiercely. A powerful super power spread out instantly, blocking the flow of water above, and successfully split the waterfall into two.

 Cut off the waterfall, success!

●Green Onion Duck opened his eyes in disbelief: "Gah?!"

 “Crash!”

  The energy of the spiritual sword gradually dissipated, and the waterfall returned to its original appearance.

“Congratulations, it seems you succeeded.” Naoki nodded with satisfaction.

This was Green Onion Duck’s dream when he first came to the ranch, and now, he has finally helped it come true!

 “Gah!”

 The green onion duck screamed happily.

　　　When all the Pokémon around saw its appearance, they all felt itchy.

The performance of Green Onion Duck triggered a wave of special training. Pokémon such as Motorized Lizard and Bubblegum told Naoki that they also wanted to give it a try!

 “Hmm? You also want to cut off the waterfall?” Naoki was stunned and asked.

 The two Pokémon nodded their heads vigorously.

 “Bamo!”

 “Gah!”

“But what you are good at is different from green onion duck?” Naoki couldn’t help but remind him.

The Babu Dog is good at using his speed and powerful electric current to attack the enemy.

 And the Motorized Lizard can run at full speed even faster than the Babu Dog...

But seeing the two Pokémon looking eager to try, Zhi Shu couldn't say anything, so he could only let them try it under the waterfall.

 As a result, the Babu Woodchuck and the Motorized Lizard tried for a long time, but failed to cut off the waterfall like the Green Onion Duck.

 Naoki: “…”

Looking at the two missing Pokémon, Naoki couldn’t help but said:

“Don’t be discouraged, each Pokémon is good at different things! And I have good news to tell you, although you can’t cut off the waterfall, you can use the waterfall to practice!”

 “Gah?” Hearing this, the Motorized Lizard quickly looked over.

Zhi Shu nodded: "That is the waterfall training method. In the human world, some warriors and fighters will use waterfalls to exercise together with Pokémon."

“They will sit under the waterfall and let the waterfall wash their bodies continuously to achieve the purpose of spiritual practice.”

“If paired with reasonable exercise methods, this will make the body stronger and also temper one’s own spirit and perseverance. It is a very good special training method.”

 “Want to give it a try?” Naoki asked with a smile.

 “Gah!”

 Three minutes later, Motorized Lizard, Babu Tubo, Kuailong, Ergui Pun, and Zhiyifa all lined up in a row and sat on the big rock under the waterfall. They closed their eyes and felt the impact of the waterfall with their hearts.

 Hence Leton did not go, because it had no effect on him.

Gu Dinglu stood aside and looked at this scene with a smile, and said loudly: "Moo!" (Hoo **** ho! What a group of hard-working little guys!)

However, as soon as it finished speaking, Zhishu saw Egui Peng starting to hold up his coat with his hands to block the water flow above, and started to be lazy.

 Naoki: “…”

　　Seeing that it was discovered, Erguifen didn't panic. It quickly stood up and ran out, jumping twice happily on the spot: "Boni~"

 “Okay, okay, if you don’t want to exercise, just go over there and eat Poffin!”

Zhi Shu has no requirements for Pokémon. If they want to become stronger, he will help them with special training.

 If they just want to live a happy life, then he will make delicious poffins and energy cubes for them so that they can replenish their physical strength when they are tired from playing.

Egui Peng happily ran around Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun.

At this moment, a green cotton bird chirped and flew over. It landed on Zhishu's shoulder and said to it: "Chirp!"

"Hmm? You also found a glowing stake?" Zhi Shu asked hurriedly.

Green Mianniao nodded its little head lightly.

 “Take me to see it!” Naoki called to several Pokémon who were practicing under the waterfall.

 “Chirp!”

 The green sheep bird flapped its wings and began to lead the way.

 After they left, an off-white figure suddenly jumped down from the cliff above.

Not long after, Zhishu found a glowing stake in the grass.

 He stepped forward and pulled out the stake.

As a result, only six of the eight stakes that sealed the ancient jade fish are left!

 What they have to do now is to go back to Luanshi Waterfall and continue waiting.

However, when Naoki arrived at Ranzhi Waterfall, he noticed a small figure under the waterfall out of the corner of his eye.

That is an off-white bear Pokémon.

At this moment, the Pokémon was sitting under the Chaos Waterfall, maintaining a cross-legged meditating posture, and seemed to be practicing in that way.

 “Ah gah!” Leton also noticed the Pokémon’s movements.

 Naoki:! !

 He immediately opened his eyes in disbelief.

Isn’t that Pokémon the first stage of the legendary Pokémon Martial Arts Bear Master in the Galar region, the Bear Apprentice? !

 No, that’s not right! Why is there a bear apprentice living here at Ranzhi Waterfall?

Zhi Shu looked at the bear apprentice over there in shock.

 Is he a wild bear apprentice? Or is there a trainer who brings it here to practice?

At this time, Disciple Xiong, who was sitting under the waterfall and practicing, seemed to have noticed something. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the human being not far away.

　　Discovered!

Zhishu saw that the bear apprentice seemed to be startled by their arrival.

But the bear disciple did not run away. It was still sitting under the waterfall and practicing.

After a brief surprise, Naoki became interested in this legendary Pokémon from the Galar region.

 He was worried that the bear apprentice would be frightened by them and turn around and run away, so he did not approach immediately, but kept a distance of not too far but not too close to observe the other party.

Apprentice Bear also opened his eyes and looked at the humans over there.

 It noticed them as early as when they entered the bamboo forest.

The bear apprentice who originally lived here began to observe the actions of this human being in secret.

 It was okay at first. Apprentice Bear didn’t feel that this human was any different from the previous humans who came to Luanshi Waterfall.

But it wasn’t until later that it heard the human’s description of the practice method, and directed its Pokémon to practice and exercise under the waterfall.

Disciple Xiong is very interested in this practice method.

 So, after seeing the human leave, it immediately went to the waterfall and tried it.

 You won’t know the result until you try it, but once you try it, you will find that this special training method is very effective!

It uses the organ in its lower abdomen that can generate "fighting energy" and the unique breathing method it has learned before, and carefully feels the invisible power of the impact of the water flow, and a mysterious and mysterious feeling arises in its body...

At this moment, its eyes made contact with the human in mid-air.

Disciple Xiong felt a little flustered.

Yet the human just stood there and looked at it.

Zhishu looked at the bear apprentice whose fur was wet by the water, opened his mouth, and asked:

 “Are you also practicing?”
