Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 504 Lei He and the Treasure of Disaster, a new trial at Zhishu Ranch?

 The next morning, after feeding the Pokémon in the pasture and sending the bear apprentice to the World Tree for lessons, Naoki found Gudingdeer and the others.

 “Let’s go, today I want to take you to a place to meet someone.”

“Moo Moo?” Gu Dinglu turned his head and seemed to be asking who it was.

"She?" Naoki replied with a smile: "She is Reiha. Thanks to her help, I was able to find you."

 “Gu Roar.” The Ancient Sword Leopard took a step forward. If this was the case, then they really needed to go there.

"Okay." Seeing a few Pokémon agreeing, Naoki took out their pokeballs and said, "Let's go into the pokeballs first, so Luton will take us there with him."

The Ancient Sword Leopard nodded, and with a flash of red light, the four Treasures of Disaster were put into the elf ball.

Zhishu put the elf ball into his pocket, then turned around and ordered the two brothers and sisters:

"Sister, I will leave the ranch to you to take care of. I may not come back until the afternoon. If Eevee and the others are going to the World Tree, there is no need to prepare their lunch. Motorized Lizard and Kuailong will go with me, as well as Xiaofu. Dan, don’t run around, got it?”

 “Aye~” Sister Aiguanshi nodded slightly.

Hearing this, Xiao Fudan also hugged a pocket full of pokeballs and nodded happily: "Buku!"

After visiting the ranch yesterday, Naoki gave it a lot of round balls. Little Lucky Egg was so happy that he imitated the lucky eggs and put all the Poke Balls into the bag in front of him.

 There are so many that I can hardly hold them.

Pokémon's emotions are very simple. If you are nice to them, they will like you.

Especially for Pokémon that are simple and innocent in nature like Little Lucky Egg.

 After receiving so many round Poké Balls, it likes this human even more!

Zhi Shu held his forehead helplessly. He looked at the appearance of the little lucky egg and thought that maybe it would be better after it evolved into a lucky egg and could lay eggs by itself.

"That being said, it's time for us to set off. See you in the afternoon!"

Zhi Shu waved to a group of Pokémon, and then left the pasture on Guluton.

The ground beneath our feet gradually receded into the distance, and the pasture turned into a small black dot and disappeared from our field of vision, while the sound of the wind howled by our ears.

So Leden flew through cities and wilderness one after another, and finally arrived at Table City before ten o'clock in the morning.

 The streets of Zuotai City are still full of people. Students and tourists from all over the world gather in this metropolis with a long history and culture.

There is no no-fly ban over Table City, so from time to time you can see some trainers riding flying Pokémon into the city from outside.

Zhi Shu looked down and finally landed on the spacious square in front of the gate of Padia College.

 Leihe had been waiting there early.

Her good eyesight, honed from years of tomb robbing, allowed her to spot Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun among the crowd at a glance.

 “Here! Here!” Leihe waved her arms.

 “Ah gah?”

Hearing the sound, Gu Ledun raised his head and glanced up, then ran to Lei He with Zhi Shu.

 “Long time no see, Miss Reiha!” Naoki greeted.

“Well, it’s been a long time indeed.” Lei He looked left and right, feeling impatient: “Have you brought the four treasures of disaster with you?”

"certainly."

“Then let’s go to my place first!” Lei He turned around and led the way: “Follow me!”

The two of them passed through the huge gate of the Padian Academy and came to a hall filled with bookshelves.

The ground is paved with striped floors, and many sofas and round tables are placed in the corners, seemingly to facilitate students to rest and read.

 The hall has many floors, and each floor is filled with countless bookshelves and books. Some students and Pokémon in school uniforms are constantly shuttled among them, browsing the bookshelves.

“It’s almost exactly the same as in the game!” Naoki looked around and thought to himself.

Leihe's voice suddenly sounded: "If you want to visit Padia Academy, I can take you around to have a look later. Now come with me, let me take a look at those four Pokémon first! "

 Naoki: “…”

I have to say that Lei He is still very obsessed with Gudinglu and the others!

 He sighed helplessly, then raised his feet and followed.

 Under the leadership of Lei He, the two of them soon arrived at a classroom with no one around.

Reihe closed the door. Just when she was about to speak, she saw Naoki taking out four poke balls.

With white lights flashing by, the four treasures that Lei He had always dreamed of finally appeared in front of her.

 Ancient tripod deer, ancient sword leopard, ancient jade fish, ancient slip snail…

 “Wow!” Lei He’s eyes suddenly lit up: “You really did it!”

Zhishu smiled slightly and introduced Gudinglu and the others:

"This is the person I told you before. It was because of her help that I was able to find you."

Hearing this, Gudinglu and the others looked at Leihe.

The next second, however, they saw Lei He, who was just a few meters away, rushing in front of them in an instant, staring at them excitedly with glowing eyes, and kept turning around.

The bodies of several Pokémon froze instantly.

"Is this the ancient cauldron deer? What a big cauldron! Judging from its shape and size, this cauldron should not be a daily necessities, but a work of art...or it may have been used as a sacrificial vessel to worship the gods. Well, This is also a question worth exploring.”

Lei He took out her camera and took several photos of Gudinglu, preparing to keep them for further study.

 Then, she came to the ancient sword leopard again.

The ancient sword leopard looked at this human with its ice blue eyes full of majesty.

"Ancient Sword Leopard..." Leihe asked curiously: "Does the hilt and the sword body form the teeth on the left and right sides respectively? It looks like it's broken. It's really strange. I don't know if it was broken when it became a Pokémon. Or from the beginning...?"

“Well, no, wait, how could the king buy a broken sword? Or maybe it was originally a weapon used in a broken state?”

 This is also a question worth exploring.

 “Crack, click, click!”

 The appearance of the ancient sword leopard, especially the broken swords on both sides of its mouth, was captured on camera.

 Then Lei He walked to Gu Jianwo again.

She looked at Gu Jian Snail's body, which was made up of wooden slips connected together, and couldn't help but exclaimed:

“With so many wooden slips connected together, it’s really a masterpiece!”

Hearing this, Zhi Shu also became interested: "Does it mean that there was some information recorded on the ancient slips?"

Lei He nodded: "Yes, but it's a pity that the writing on it has been blurred... What kind of article was written on the wooden slips that once attracted the king's interest in the past?"

Zhi Shu looked at the ancient slip snail, and sure enough he saw some undecipherable vague words remaining on its body.

Those were obviously written on by humans, and even reverse cooking cannot repair them.

 The last one is the ancient jade fish.

Lehe cast her eyes on the small fish Pokémon with warm flames burning all over her body, and murmured softly:

“Because of its sacredness, magatama was once worn on the body for sacrifice. Most of the time, one magatama was worn around the neck like a pendant, but the ancient jade fish wore as many as four…”

“Is this an ornament used to decorate paired parts such as ears and wrists? Or is the sacrifice performed by four people...?”

“What happened to magatama, which was once used to ward off evil spirits, and why it was called a disaster... The mystery is getting deeper and deeper, oh my curiosity is gradually being satisfied!”

 Leihe excitedly took a photo of the ancient jade fish.

 “With this, the investigation of the Treasure of Disaster is over!”

Leihe checked the pictures in the camera, and then said to Naoki:

"Although there are still some mysteries, let me interpret it myself! Thank you very much for your help, Naoki." "You're welcome." Naoki said that he was not without gain.

This trip to help others gave him four more Pokémon that can bring good luck to humans in his ranch, which can be said to be a huge profit.

Lei He smiled slightly: "To be honest, I originally wanted to personally investigate the treasures of disaster and take them for myself."

"But unfortunately, my obsession with them may not be able to lift the seals of the four ancestral halls...Thanks to you, who has no distracting thoughts, I can complete the investigation."

"Huh! In this case, the treasure I dream of will be kept by you from now on!"

　　Naoki was about to say something.

However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the classroom.

Zhishu was slightly startled.

 Soon, he saw another Lei He walking in from the door.

Seeing this scene, a big question mark immediately appeared on Naoki's head.

  ?

However, Lei He smiled slightly, turned around and asked the other "Lei He": "Is get out of class over? Isn't it discovered?"

The "Leihe" nodded, and a light flashed on its body.

 The next second, "Reihe" disappeared, replaced by a demon fox Pokémon with gray-black fur and light blue pupils.

 Zoroark!

Combining what Reihe said just now, Naoki instantly realized what was going on.

As a history teacher, Leihe actually let Zoroark become herself and teach those students on her behalf!

Zhi Shu was a little dumbfounded, how could he still play like this?

"Can Zoroark speak?" Naoki asked the question in his mind.

How does Zoroark, who cannot speak human language, teach students?

Hearing this, Reha and Zoroark looked at him.

"Of course he can't speak, but Zoroark can use the power to create illusions and confuse others to make students think that I am in class. This ability is something I have specially trained with Zoroark before!"

 Naoki: “…”

 He had already imagined Leihe letting Zoroark teach on his behalf, and then sneaking out to rob the tomb.

 It’s simply devilish!

"But get out of class is over now. I don't have any classes today. How about I take you around the school?" Leihe glanced at the class schedule on her Rotom phone and suggested.

 Naoki is quite interested in hanging out at Padia College.

Hence, he nodded and agreed: "Okay."

Zhi Shu put the Guding Deer and the others back into the elf ball, and then took Gu Ledun to follow Lei He around the ancient academy.

“Padia College has a history of 800 years. Since its founding, the school has been divided into two colleges.”

“One is Orange College and the other is Grape College, but although the names are different, the teaching direction is the same.”

“Every year, a Pokémon battle is held between the two colleges to determine the strongest college and students.”

“In addition, there is also the strongest competition in the school, which is very lively. Not only the students, but also us teachers will also participate.”

 Zhi Shu listened with interest.

They were walking in the corridor, and the conspicuous figures of Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun quickly attracted the attention of some students.

Students who had gone to the ranch to participate in the trial quickly recognized Naoki’s identity. It was Naoki, the rancher who was known as the hidden boss of the Padia region!

 “It’s Mr. Naoki!” someone exclaimed.

Hearing this voice, Naoki turned his head and saw a young student looking at him not far away with an excited face.

He still had some impression of that person, so he nodded towards him: "Long time no see!"

 “Yeah!” The student nodded excitedly.

However, soon, more and more students were attracted.

 Many of them have gone to challenge the trial of Zhi Shu Ranch, and there are also some students who have not challenged it but are curious about the strongest rancher.

 For a time, Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun were surrounded.

Leihe couldn't help but laugh at this scene from the side: "You are really popular!"

 Naoki: “…”

 At this time, an enthusiastic student asked.

“Mr. Naoki, have you added any new trials to your ranch recently?”

Zhi Shu raised his eyebrows: "Are those few challenges not enough for you? I don't think anyone has passed the Green Grass Trial yet, right?"

"The difficulty of the Green Grass Trial is too high!" Another student shook his head: "Is there a trial that is suitable for new trainers to challenge?"

"That's not true." Naoki thought carefully: "Unless you are willing to fight against my Big Milk Can, but Big Milk Can is a Pokémon that specializes in producing fresh milk..."

 Speaking, Naoki stopped.

 Because he drinks Life Goat's milk every day, the strength of the big milk can that he practiced rolling in the pasture may not be something that a new trainer can handle.

  They have practiced the [Rolling] move to a superb level, and can achieve continuous rolling without backswing or delay.

  In other words, it is the dragon cart in Monster Hunter, which is continuous.

However, Naoki thought so, but these students didn't.

“Big milk tanks that produce milk? They are not Pokémon specifically designed to fight against them. Wouldn’t it be unfair if we used specially trained Pokémon to fight against them…”

An elegant smile appeared on Naoki's face: "When you have time later, you can go over and give it a try."

　　Don’t go back and fight his milk-producing cow for 300 rounds, and then be embarrassed before the fight is over.

“Is there a reward for winning the trial?” someone asked.

"Of course." Zhi Shu nodded. He now has a lot of fruit wine stored in his house, which is enough even if five hundred people come.

 But the premise is that these five hundred people can really win the big milk can and think of a way to deal with [Super Rolling].

 “Okay! I’ll give it a try when I get back!” Someone shouted excitedly.

 Because they got news from some people that the rewards in the trial are mysterious gifts that can make Pokémon stronger, and they are definitely helpful.

“Besides the big milk jug, are there any new tests?” Another student asked.

Zhi Shu originally wanted to say no, but he suddenly thought of Ancient Cauldron Deer and Ancient Jade Fish, as well as the bear disciples who were practicing under the guidance of Groudon and Kyogre, so he changed his words:

“Of course, there are now two new trials in the ranch. One is called [Martial Arts Trial] and the other is called [Four Auspicious Trials]. I am in the ranch and you are always welcome to come and challenge!”

 “Well, we will definitely get there!” everyone replied in unison.

 Zhi Shu smiled and nodded: "When the time comes, I will definitely receive you well."
