Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 511 Frozen Bird: So, what is the price?

 At the bottom of the ice cave on Shuangtzu Island, bursts of milky cold air are constantly exuding on the ice-blue lake.

The two bird Pokémon were floating at opposite ends of the lake, their eyes meeting in mid-air.

"Chirp!"

The Lightning Bird stared at the Frozen Bird in front of him with sharp eyes, and let out a sharp cry.

Seeing Lightning Bird's malicious gaze, Frozen Bird's inner alarm suddenly started ringing.

It calmly asked: "咘咏咿?" (What are you doing here?)

Lightning Bird: "Chirp!" (Leave here with me! I will take you to a good place, where you will be reborn!)

Hearing this, Frozen Bird was slightly startled. It didn't quite understand what Lightning Bird's words meant.

leave here? Get a new lease of life?

Frozen Bird narrowed his eyes, feeling that the Lightning Bird felt weird.

It looked up and down at the bird Pokémon it hadn't seen for a long time, and then asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"

Lightning Bird explained in detail: "Chirp." (It's okay, I just want to share some treasures with you and Flame Bird. Leave with me, where you will gain more power.)

Frozen Bird increasingly felt that the Lightning Bird in front of him was very strange, although it was somewhat interested in what the Lightning Bird said.

But the frozen bird, which has existed in this world for hundreds of years, is very smart.

It was not immediately seduced by Lightning Bird's words, but pretended not to be interested:

"Boom!" (I'm not interested in what you're talking about, so please get out of here!)

Lightning Bird thought that Frozen Bird would agree to it, but when Frozen Bird refused, it frowned slightly.

But soon, Lightning Bird figured out something.

To make steamed buns, you don’t need the Pokémon themselves to be present, as long as they have their feathers!

Realizing this, Lightning Bird immediately decided to take the simplest and crudest method.

It raised its head to the sky and let out a sharp cry, crackling electricity rushed out from its body, and the yellow electric light instantly illuminated the cold cave.

The huge electrical energy gathered at one point and turned into a beam of light that suddenly hit the freezing bird on the opposite side.

One hundred thousand volts!

"Boom!"

The frozen bird looked extremely serious, and it quickly put its wings in front of itself to resist.

The dense lightning flashes overwhelmed the Frozen Bird in the blink of an eye.

Frozen Bird, who was in a defensive state, noticed the powerful current with the corner of his eye, and was shocked in his heart.

That power…

No, that's not right! When did that Lightning Bird become so powerful? !

Could it be that Lightning Bird didn't lie to it just now? Is everything true?

While the Frozen Bird was stunned, the Lightning Bird on the opposite side suddenly stopped its hand, flapped its wings and flew towards the Frozen Bird.

A white light emerged from the Lightning Bird's beak. In the flash of lightning, the Lightning Bird pecked at the Frozen Bird's body.

"Boom!"

This sudden attack caught the Frozen Bird off guard, and it couldn't help but let out a scream.

Immediately afterwards, it saw its beautiful blue feathers being pecked off by the Lightning Bird, and slowly falling to the ground.

"Boom!"

Frozen Bird was angry.

Along with its anger, the entire surrounding ice cave began to tremble violently.

Cracks spread rapidly along the ice covering the cave wall, and a bone-chilling chill surged out of the frozen bird, like an avalanche, overwhelmingly hitting the lightning bird.

Realizing the danger, Lightning Bird immediately flew back without hesitation, with Frozen Bird chasing closely behind.

The two bird Pokémon started an extremely fierce chase in this narrow cave.

But in the end, Lightning Bird is the winner, because it is much faster than Freeze Bird!

In addition, the passages of this ice cave extend in all directions, and some places are connected end to end. Lightning Bird quickly thought of taking advantage of the terrain, and accelerated its detour to behind Frozen Bird.

A move of one hundred thousand volts was fired with all his strength, and the dazzling electric light instantly engulfed the frozen bird in front.

The sudden attack caused the Frozen Bird to lose its balance instantly, and it stopped awkwardly after breaking several icicles one after another.

Lightning Bird slowly landed in front of Frozen Bird, and then picked up a few ice blue feathers on the ground in its mouth in front of it.

Those...are the feathers it just shed?

Looking at this scene, Frozen Bird was slightly stunned. It stared at what the lightning bird did in disbelief.

However, after Lightning Bird collected all of Frozen Bird's feathers, he used his mouth to take out a bottle of Life Goat Milk that Naoki had packed for him from his satchel, and placed it next to Frozen Bird.

"Chirp!"

Frozen Bird was slightly startled.

Its eyes glanced at the satchel on Lightning Bird again.

Frozen Bird recognized it as a human creation at a glance.

"咘咏咿!" (You have been conquered by humans!)

Could it be that what the Lightning Bird said just now meant using human power to help them become stronger? !

This thought came to Frozen Bird's mind.

Lightning Bird glanced at it, Naoki's smiling face appeared in his mind, shook his head and said:

"Chew." (He didn't conquer me, he was a very good person, and I was willing to stay by his side.)

It's a pity that Naoki has many powerful Pokémon there, so it can't be of much help.

However, we don't need to fight anyway, we all live together in the ranch, so that's fine.

Hearing this, Frozen Bird was stunned again.

Is Lightning Bird cheating?

At this moment, Frozen Bird suddenly wanted to know what kind of human being could actually make the arrogant Lightning Bird willing to become his Pokémon from the bottom of his heart.

However, the Lightning Bird didn't say much. Anyway, the purpose of its trip had been achieved.

Since the Frozen Bird doesn't want to go there, there's no need for it to stay here.

Thinking of this, Lightning Bird turned around and prepared to leave here to find Flame Bird.

However, just when it was about to flap its wings, the frozen bird behind it suddenly stopped it.

Zapdos heard it and asked, "So, what's the price?"

It's impossible for humans to help them for no reason, right?

Frozen Bird looked at the Lightning Bird in front of him, waiting for its answer.

I saw the lightning bird shook its head, opened its mouth and spit out a few words: "Chirp." (Your feathers.)

Frozen Bird: "?"

*

It’s another new day at Zhishu Ranch.

This afternoon, it was rare that the ranch did not encounter any wild trainers who came to challenge us.

Naoki had nothing to do, so he simply sorted out the clutter accumulated at home.

Not only Naoki, but also Luton and others were idle.

Small Pokémon like Eevee and Lucky Egg stayed at home and played around, playing a little game of hide and seek.

They were running around in the stairwell and on the floor. With a feather duster in his hand, his brother Ai Tusi, who was doing housework, looked helplessly at this group of noisy Pokémon.

Pokémon that like warm environments and sunshine, such as Motorized Lizard and Ecuador, all ran to the grass in the pasture and basked in the sun leisurely. The only exception was Gu Ledun, who would harass Naoki from time to time.

The sunlight outside the window was just right, shining into the room through the window and filling the entire desk.

Naoki sat on the desk and lifted a large box up.

Then he took out postcards and photos with bear and cat paw prints, as well as a small box containing various stones and glass marbles.

These are all sent back by Dream and Baby Bear who are traveling abroad.

After the New Year, those two Pokémon went to the Sinnoh region.

In just a few months, they went to many places and met many, many Pokémon.

As before, Baby Bear and Dream will ask their wild Pokémon friends to help them return the photos and treasures they picked up to the ranch.

Zhi Shu was either looking for the Ancient Cauldron Deer and the Ancient Jade Fish before, or he was busy receiving visiting challengers and didn't have much time to check.

Now Gudinglu and the others have been subdued, and all the challengers have been taken away by Ye Ci.

Zhi Shu had nothing to do, so he was going to take advantage of this time to take a good look at the things that Baby Bear and Mew had sent back from the wild flying Pokémon.

There are many photos taken with Pokémon, and most of those Pokémon are Pokémon from the Sinnoh region.

Bogaman, who was afraid of water, successfully overcame his fear with the company and encouragement of the Heroes Expedition Team and got into the water again.

Help the lost swimmer find its family,

Help two loving sea hares solve the troubles of long-distance relationship, allowing them to get together across the entire Sinnoh continent.

In addition, Naoki also saw an old turtle that was so tired that it couldn't stand up because there were too many wild Pokémon living on its back.

It was a turtle that was much larger than an ordinary turtle.

It has a huge body shaped like a beautiful garden, and the huge back carapace is covered with lush green grass and trees.

Turtles are a very interesting Pokémon that evolve from the grass-type Gossip Turtles in the Sinnoh region.

After evolving into the final stage, the turtle will become lazy and often stay in one place motionless.

At this time, some petite Pokémon will be attracted to gather in the "forest" on its back and build a nest.

Some Pokémon are even born on the back of a turtle and spend their entire lives on its back.

Naoki had read the history book compiled by humans in the Pokémon world before.

That book records that in the distant past, some ancient scholars once imagined that there was a giant earth turtle under the earth, and all humans lived on the back of the earth turtle.

The huge turtle was overwhelmed by the number of Pokémon living on its back, and had no choice but to seek help from the passing Heroes expedition team.

Mew and Baby Bear were based on Naoki's story of building shelters for the Pokémon in the ranch, and ended up using wood, branches, and dirt to surround the Turtle to help those smaller Pokémon build shelters.

The turtle finally straightened up and was able to move around normally.

Later, the turtle became the patron saint of the "Pokémon Village" and lived there with those Pokémon.

"Tsk, I wonder what those Pokémon scholars would think if they discovered this village with only Pokémon." Naoki couldn't help but laugh.

They will be surprised when the time comes, thinking that Pokémon can also develop civilization and eventually become an unsolved mystery in the world.

Gu Leden, who quietly walked in to scare Naoki, saw Naoki smiling there and couldn't help but ran up curiously.

"Ah gah?"

"Look at this turtle..." Naoki took the photo and told Gulton the story inside.

As for how he knew, it was all thanks to the Rotom mobile phones in Meng and Baobao's hands that helped translate Rotom.

However, Gullerton was not very interested in all this.

"Ah squeak..." Its eyes turned to the small box next to it again: "Ah squeak?"

"This?" Naoki picked up the box and said, "These are the treasures brought back by the baby bears during this period. Its characteristic is picking up. The favorite thing of Pokémon with this characteristic is to pick up treasures on the road. Brought it home and collected it.”

Saying that, Naoki opened the box.

There are pearls, star sand in clear glass bottles, scales shed by wild Menas, teeth dropped by Dragon Pokémon in battle, and more.

Naoki took out these props one by one, so Luton watched curiously.

"This seems to be called Dragon's Fang?" Zhi Shu took out the Dragon's Fang and made two gestures on Gu Ledun's body.

If he remembered correctly, this item could increase the power of dragon-type moves used by Pokémon.

Gu Ledun didn't have any personal props on him yet, and Naoki suddenly became interested: "Gu Ledun, do you want to try wearing it?"

However, Gu Ledun's face was full of disgust.

It doesn’t want the teeth that other dragon-type Pokémon have lost!

Naoki: "..."

Okay! Dare to be honest, Luton is still a mysophobic dragon.

"Okay, if you don't want to wear it, don't wear it." Naoki put the dragon's tooth away. Anyway, there is no need to fight in the ranch, so Luton won't use it at all now.

At this moment, Naoki suddenly discovered a round stone like a bead at the bottom of the box.

"Huh?"

Looking at the egg-like stone, Naoki thought it was a Pokémon egg at first, but when he looked carefully, he realized that it was just a stone.

Unable to recognize it with the naked eye, Naoki asked Rotom's mobile phone to scan it for him and search it on the Internet.

Soon, Rotom's mobile phone gave the answer.

[Round Stone: A magical stone that allows specific Pokémon to evolve. It is as round as a bead. It is the favorite gift of Pokémon like Little Lucky Egg. After being carried by Little Lucky Egg, it has the opportunity to evolve into a lucky egg. 】

Um? What is this?

Naoki was immediately attracted to it.

Baby Bear is so awesome. He knew what he was missing and gave him back what he needed!

Is this also part of [super luck]?

Long live Baby Bear!

Naoki happily kissed Gu Ledun's forehead next to him, then stood up and walked towards the door.

He found the little lucky egg playing hide and seek with the Eevees on the second floor.

Seeing Naoki, Xiao Fudan made a silent gesture in a low voice, indicating that he was playing hide-and-seek with Eevee and the others and could not go out yet.

Until Naoki took out the round stone.

Little Lucky Egg: "!!"

Sure enough, just as Naoki expected, the moment he saw the round stone, Xiao Fudan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Baku!"

It didn't even play hide-and-seek anymore, it just got out from under the bed, ran to Zhi Shu, and looked at the round stone like an "egg" with great excitement.

“咘KU…”

What a beautiful stone! Big, round and white, this is simply the treasure it dreams of!

"Do you like it?" Naoki asked with a smile.

"Baku!" Little Fudan nodded repeatedly, then jumped up and happily hugged Naoki with his short hands.
