Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 534: The all-out celebration of Lili Town, the forest test begins!

 Alola region, Melemele Island, Lili Town.

This is a small town located in a vast tropical rain forest. The town is small in size, with a few scattered families. Country paths connect these buildings, and palm trees are planted on both sides of the road for landscape purposes.

In the center of the town, there is a stage made of wooden boards, with a white totem-like pattern full of primitive atmosphere printed on it.

Next to the stage stood large bonfire frames with blazing flames burning on them.

If it weren't for the people wearing modern clothes around him, Naoki would have felt like he was in a primitive tribe somewhere.

"Is this Lili Town?"

Naoki was walking in the town with Gullton, surrounded by many trainers with Pokémon, including Mane Rock Werewolf, Flora, Good and Bad Star, and even a Staffed Scaletail.

Because of this, he and Gu Ledun were not very conspicuous in the crowd.

The time has now reached dusk. Logically speaking, at this time, the tired people should have returned home and started cooking dinner.

But according to Naoki's observation, the residents of Lili Town and those dressed as trainers are all gathering towards the center of the town at the moment.

Huh? What are they going to do?

"Guluton, let's follow and have a look!"

"Ah gah!"

One person and one Pokémon blended into the crowd and soon arrived at the bottom of the stage.

Gradually, more and more people were around. When dusk filled the earth, a few people wearing strange masks, primitive costumes, and tooth necklaces around their necks suddenly stepped onto the stage, and at dusk and A strange and intense dance took place in the light of the campfire.

At first, Naoki didn't understand what was going on.

But when he saw clearly the patterns on the masks on those people's faces, a name immediately came to mind.

—Kapu·Mingming!

He knows where this place is!

This is the celebration stage of Lili Town and the stage for worshiping the patron saint of Melemele Island!

In the game, on certain days, people in Lili Town will hold an all-out celebration to honor Kapu Mingming on the celebration stage at dusk.

In this way, I pray that Kapu Mingming will protect the people on the island and help each other.

Soon, the dance ended, and an old woman wearing traditional ethnic costumes, with white hair and a cane slowly walked onto the celebration stage.

She began to hum an ancient and melodious song, and then the sacrificial activities officially began.

"Patron Saint of the Island! Please continue to protect the humans living in this place as you did before! Please accept the gifts we have prepared for you, Patron Saint, please come and take a look at the Pokémon battle we have presented to you. !”

After the words fell, the two trainers stepped onto the stage and commanded their Pokémon to start a fierce battle with each other.

Arriving early is worse than arriving at a good time. Naoki watched with great interest the activity in front of him to worship Kapu Mingming.

"I wonder if Kapu Mingming is watching around here right now." Zhi Shu thought to himself.

He turned around and looked around, trying to see if he could find Kapu Mingming in some relatively hidden places, but unfortunately he saw nothing.

Compared to other regions, the Alola region has many legendary Pokémon.

Apart from Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma, there is the Capu family that rules the four islands.

Kapu Mingming on Melemele Island, Kapu Diedie on Akala Island, Kapu Moo on Ula'ula Island, and Kapu Finfin on Poni Island.

Among them, the Kapu family is very different from other legendary Pokémon in some aspects.

For example, they have been living on the island with humans, and they will actively appear in front of some people and choose them.

In the Alola region, humans chosen by the patron saint will become the local king or queen of the island.

And the chosen one cannot refuse, otherwise the patron saint will become angry.

The destination of Naoki's trip is also the king of the island of Melemele Island, Hala.

Because only the king of the islands has the qualifications to start the island tour, and only after completing the test given by them can he obtain the z bracelet and z pure crystal.

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

As one of the Pokémon fell to the ground, the fierce battle officially ended.

An old man with white hair, dark skin, and a slightly fat figure walked onto the stage with a smile.

"What a wonderful battle. I think the patron saint will be very happy!"

Hara clapped his hands and praised the two trainers in front of him.

The two young trainers touched their heads in embarrassment, but the expressions on their faces looked very excited.

The sky gradually darkened, and night gradually enveloped the entire Alola region.

Hala took the two trainers and said to many townspeople: "Okay, today's celebration has ended successfully. It's getting late, so everyone should go back and rest first!"

Kapu Mingming did not show up from beginning to end. Although the onlookers looked regretful, they had no choice but to disperse one after another.

Hala smiled and waved goodbye to everyone, but just when he turned around and was about to go home to rest, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Halla!"

Hala turned his head and saw a young man much taller than him walking towards this side.

The young man was accompanied by a Pokémon he had never seen before.

Hala was stunned: "You are?"

"I am Naoki." Naoki said, "I would like to ask you to help me start the island tour."

Five minutes later, in Hala’s mansion,

Hala, the king of the island, held a cup of tea and squinted his eyes at the young man in front of him.

"You mean, you want to join our tour of the islands in Alola?"

"Yes, this is the certificate of my island tour." Naoki placed the certificate he had obtained in the Royal Dome on the wooden coffee table in front of him.

Hala reached for the certificate and looked at it carefully, and found that it was indeed a genuine certificate for the island tour.

Generally speaking, this kind of certificate is issued exclusively to outsiders, and the Alola region has many ways to obtain it.

For example, if the trainer is recognized by the king or queen of an island, the trainer will be given a certificate to tour the islands and start the tour of the islands.

Or it could be awarded to those who have made significant contributions to the Alola region.

As for the local trainers... they are qualified to participate in the island tour from birth.

"That's it! It seems that he is another talented young man!" Hala laughed happily.

He continued: "Formal introduction, I am Hala, the king of the island of Melemele Island. Since you choose to start the challenge from Melemele Island, then I will issue the test to you. content!”

"But it's too late today, so be it! Come here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will announce to you the content of the test on Melemele Island."

"Okay." Naoki nodded politely, thanked Hara, and then left here. He did not go back to Padea tonight, but spent the night resting at the ranch on Akala Island.

Early the next morning, when the sun rose high above the sea level, Naoki arrived at the small town of Lili on time.

And Hala was already waiting there in advance.

Hala was full of energy after a night's rest. He smiled and said to Naoki:

"You came just in time. Something happened on Melemele Island. The location is in the forest near Hauale City. There is a forest Pokémon cafe there."

"According to the feedback from nearby Pokémon and residents, there have been some problems in the cafe recently and it has been suspended, which has caused a lot of trouble to everyone. I hope you can investigate and help solve it."

"This is the test I have arranged for you!"

Forest Pokémon Cafe…

Isn't that a place in the anime?

Although it's a cafe, the owner is a Pokémon named Zombie.

The chimpanzee is very smart. It will provide drinks to the customers who come to the store, listen to their complaints and help them solve their problems when they complain.

Speaking of which, he built the Pokémon taverns in the ranch and on the World Tree inspired by the forest Pokémon cafe!

Is it closed? Did something happen to Zhi Hua orangutan?

After a brief moment of contemplation, Naoki nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over and take a look."

Hala narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Then leave it to you."

The distance between the city of Hau'ola and the small town of Lillie is not that far.

Zhi Shu rode up to Guluton, and with the guidance of Rotom's mobile phone, he arrived at the forest in less than five minutes.

Naoki originally thought that he would spend a lot of time looking for the forest cafe, but he was surprised to find that the forest Pokémon cafe actually had a special landmark on the map app!

Just press Go there and the Rotom phone will automatically help you navigate.

Naoki was very surprised. He clicked on the landmark and saw a line of text introduction popping up on the screen.

[Forest Pokémon Café: A café opened by Pokémon. Its signature is the delicious Phoenix Pear Juice, a perfect place to relieve your worries! It should be noted that the store clerks and most of the customers there are Pokémon! 】

Naoki: "..."

Is this the power of the Internet?

Doesn’t his Zhishu Ranch also have a special landmark?

Zhi Shu quickly switched to the Padiya area and chose the Zhiqin Town area. As expected, he saw the landmark of his ranch on the map.

[Zhishu Ranch: A ranch where many Pokémon are raised. It is rich in rock salt and two kinds of fresh milk. In addition, there are many special Pokémon trials there, but the rancher is very strong. If you want to challenge , be sure to be prepared for failure! 】

…really.

Zhi Shu glanced at Ziqin Town again, and he found that Ziqin Town was described in this way.

[Ziqin Town: The birthplace of Fengrao culture, it was originally just an ordinary town. Later, it gradually prospered with the arrival of King Lei Guan. The Fengrao Shrine on the back mountain is highly recommended! 】

…The head of Dongning Village will definitely cry when he sees this.

After a moment of silence, Naoki asked Gulerton to continue moving forward according to the navigation.

Walking through the jungle and heading deeper, after jumping down a steep hillside, a very unique tree house appeared in the dense forest ahead.

The house is built on a thick tree, and a wooden staircase connects the house to the ground.

This is the deepest part of the forest, surrounded by very tall and deep trees, with vines hanging down from the branches, making it look like a secret realm.

The Forest Pokémon Cafe is here!

Naoki got off Gulton, walked up the wooden stairs to the tree house, and knocked on the door with his hand.

"Is anyone here?"

"Tuk-tuk!"

However, as soon as he knocked twice, the wooden door opened automatically, and Zhi Shu could clearly see the environment inside the room.

Under the dim light, there was a wooden bar and several tables and chairs. A chimpanzee was standing behind the bar.

On the table next to it, a lampshade night mushroom and two sleeping mushrooms are using their own light to illuminate the store.

Nearby is a coal turtle, cooking a pot of soup using its own flames.

It's just that all these Pokémon, except for Chisel, can't help but have sad faces.

Seeing someone pushing the door open, they all turned their heads and looked in the direction of the door.

Zhi Hualiang said: "Yeah, yeah, yeah." (The store is temporarily closed.)

Naoki sensed the meaning of Zhihaizang through the power of Tokiwa. He was slightly startled, then shook his head and explained:

"No, I'm not here to drink juice. I accepted the test of Mr. Hala, the king of the island, and came here to investigate the reason why the forest Pokémon cafe has been suspended, and to help you solve the problem."

Hearing this, all the Pokémon in the cafe raised their heads.

Lampshade Night Mushroom's face was full of surprise, Sleeping Mushroom was looking forward to it, and Coal Turtle also stuck its head out.

The Zhihua orangutan was slightly startled. It looked up and down at the human being in front of it with its eyes full of wisdom.

"youyou?" (Can you understand Pokémon talking?)

Naoki smiled and nodded: "Yes, not only that, I can also help Pokémon heal!"

So Leden nodded repeatedly: "Ah gah!" That's right!

The Orangutan is very smart. It looked at the human and the Pokémon in front of it, and based on what the other person just said, it quickly guessed that he was here to complete the test of patrolling the islands.

The orangutan is no stranger to this matter, because the island's patron saint will visit its cafe from time to time.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." (If that's the case, then come with me and take a look.)

Zhi Hua orang walked out of the bar and led the way.

Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun followed it out of the tree house, walked along a forest path, and soon came to a clearing.

Fields have been opened up in the open space, and fruit trees are planted in them. However, the trees are now empty, and they look like they have been looted by bandits.

"This is…"

Just when Naoki was confused, a snoring sound suddenly came from the other end of the clearing.

He looked up and saw a huge Kirby lying on its back on the grass, its round belly exposed, its big paws resting on its belly, sleeping soundly.

Looking at this scene, Naoki instantly understood what was happening here.

He looked at the chimpanzee and asked, "Did that Kirby eat all the fruits in the orchard?"

Zhi Hua Orang nodded: "Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Naoki couldn't help but feel a little confused. If he remembered correctly, judging from the performance in the anime, this chimpanzee's strength was still very powerful.

It can completely use superpowers or other strategies to drive away this wild Kirby beast.

The chimpanzee noticed the human's gaze, and with just one glance, it guessed what the other person was thinking.

The orangutan fanned the fan in his hand and explained: "Yeah, yeah, yeah." (If you drive it to other places, it will eat up all the other food in the forest. In this case, other people living in this place will The Pokémon is going to be hungry.)

This tree orchard was planted by it himself, and even if it is eaten, it will not affect the forest and other Pokémon.

The only thing affected is the supply of ingredients in the cafe. Without the fruit, it will have no way to make juice.
