Not a Trainer This Time

 Chapter 540 A world without you (Part 2)

Kuailong has had something troublesome recently.

It fell in love with a Kuailong on the island, but it was also a notoriously stupid Kuailong on the island, and was not as good as other Kuailongs who knew many moves.

Although his companions did not laugh at it, Kuailong still felt sad about it.

So that every night, it can't sleep peacefully.

Kuailong looked up at the moon hanging in the sky, preparing to follow the direction of the moon and find a place where no one would disturb him to be alone.

It kept flying along the sea, and finally flew to a large piece of land. It found a high cliff and sat there to look at the moon.

The moon in the sky is crooked, as incomplete as its dragon birth.

Looking at the moon, Kuailong felt very sad.

One day, two days, three days... gradually, a year passed.

Time did not change anything, but instead intensified Kuailong's sorrow.

When it returned to Kuailong Island and saw those companions becoming more and more powerful, Kuailong became depressed.

It no longer has the desire to pursue love, and stays on Kuailong Island depressed all day long, living a dull and boring life.

But even so, Kuailong will still leave Kuailong Island every night and go to the cliff to watch the moon.

Day after day, year after year, Kuailong never stops.

Even it doesn't know why it does this.

But Kuailong had a vague feeling in his heart that he must go there!

*

Cauldron Lake side.

The mount lamb and its two companions were leisurely eating grass and basking in the sun as usual.

But for some reason, Mount Lamb always felt that the grass in his mouth no longer had the usual taste.

The mount lamb raised his head and looked around. The sky was still so blue, the lake was still so clear, and the sun was still so bright.

Maybe... it's an illusion?

Mount Lamb put that thought aside and began to think about a problem.

—Where should I go to find fresh, plump grass to eat today?

The grass in this place has been eaten by them. Next, let’s go to places farther away to take a look!

The mounted lamb set his sights on the other side of the Cauldron Lake, where there was a patch of lush and fat grass and several fruit trees.

There are many fruits on the fruit trees, which look delicious at first sight!

"Hey!" The mount lamb made a decision, it wanted to go there and have a look!

*

"Hey, Naoki, you've been a little out of shape at work lately! You'll be in trouble if your boss finds out, so be careful!"

In the office, the colleague at the next table looked at Naoki who was in a daze at the table and reminded him in a low voice.

Naoki came to his senses and said, "Oh!"

The man couldn't help but be curious when he saw his look: "What's wrong? Are you staying up late playing games again?"

Naoki was lost in thought, and he suddenly asked: "Do you think our current life is real?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened: "You are stupid! What does life mean now? Isn't this how everyone has always lived?"

Naoki: "..."

He thought: "I always feel like I am dreaming now, but at night I will dream of another world, where I became a rancher, raised a large group of Pokémon, and was there with them. Living.”

Man: "..." Baopi started to dream again.

"It's not night yet." The man was speechless.

Naoki doesn't think so.

Was that really a dream? But why did he remember every detail of the dream clearly?

He didn't work overtime today. After get off work, Naoki returned to the rental house, turned on the switch, and looked at Gu Ledun on it in a daze.

When he went to bed at night, Naoki had that dream again.

Everything in the dream was so real. He clearly knew the name and living habits of each Pokémon, as well as what they liked.

The next morning, when Naoki woke up again, the familiar feeling in his mind became even stronger.

He once really lived with those Pokémon!

And the moment this idea came up, everything around him changed instantly.

Those high-rise buildings disappeared like dreamy bubbles, and a familiar thick fog appeared in front of Naoki's eyes.

*

Arceus stared at the scene blankly.

Unexpectedly, the relationship between them was so deep that they would still remember each other even if their memories were sealed.

How much does this Naoki like Pokémon?

At this moment, Kapu·Fin suddenly let out an exclamation again.

"Finfin!"

Arceus followed its gaze and saw new changes taking place in the illusions of several other Pokémon.

*

No! It shouldn't be like this!

Looking at the trainer in front of him, Guluton was extremely frightened. Its trainer was not this human being!

Thinking of this, Luton stepped back again and again.

In the astonished expressions of Mayor Thomas and others, Guluton turned around and ran into the distance.

It ran aimlessly on the road, trying to find the person who was very important to it.

The sun rises and sets, and the snow in the sky falls and melts.

Over the past year, Gu Luton went to many places, trying to find that person, but he still found nothing.

It can't find that person.

Gu Luton looked desperately at the setting sun on the horizon, and let out a long howl full of sadness.

It was like a dog that couldn't find its way home. It was walking in the sunset with its tail between its legs in despair.

The next year, Gu Ledun returned to Zhiqin Town.

It did not return to Mayor Thomas's house, but went to the ranch that appeared in his sleep.

The formerly abandoned ranch has now been transformed into a luxurious manor.

Therefore, Luton did not bother the humans living there, but stayed here day after day, waiting for that person to come back.

Time gradually passed, so Luton gradually grew old. On a continuous rainy day, it closed its eyes forever.

*

In the Padia region, Bottle City, there is a slightly famous Pokémon research institute.

Since being sent here by that kind human girl last time, Bubo has become like the other Pokémon in the institute, waiting for the doctor's feeding every day, or hoping that he can meet a good trainer.

Gradually, several other Pokémon in the research institute that were familiar with Bubo were accepted by new trainers who were over ten years old and became their initial Pokémon.

The doctor at the research institute originally wanted to give this little Boo to new trainers as a starter Pokémon to travel with them.

However, according to his investigation, Bu Bo suffered too much physical damage and poor talent due to his previous experience. It even took several minutes of brewing before he could release a weak electric current.

This kind of thing is undoubtedly fatal to an electric Pokémon, and because of this, no one wants to choose it.

Bubo also wants to become stronger. It often recalls the life in that abandoned ranch. At that time, it often climbed to the roof to watch bird Pokémon flying overhead.

Bubo also wanted to fly into the sky like those bird Pokémon, but there was no way.

No trainer is willing to choose it, so Bubo can only live in this ecological park.

In the blink of an eye, decades passed. The old Bubo died in depression in this ecological park where he had lived all his life. He never saw his parents again.

*

Kuailong will go to that cliff every day for the rest of his life.

Dragon-type Pokémon have such a long lifespan that in the end, even Kuailong himself forgot why it came to this place.

Over the long years, Kuailong met many humans.

Those humans who want to conquer it include some very powerful trainers.

Kuailong didn't want to be subdued by them, but those human Pokémon were very powerful. After knocking it down, they subdued it with the Poké Ball.

But when Kuailong woke up, he resisted and left and ran away.

Even Kuailong himself didn't know why he did this.

The trainer chased after it, and after learning that it didn't want to become a human Pokémon, he took out the Poké Ball and released it.

The rumors of the Kuailong in Daguo Lake attracted more and more humans.

But Kuailong remained unmoved. It was immersed in its own world and followed the footsteps of the moon here every day.

Time flies so fast, hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Kuailong's life came to an end. With questions that he had never understood all his life, he closed his eyes forever and slept on the cliff.

*

The west side of Cauldron Lake.

In search of lush green grass and delicious and juicy tree fruits, the mount lamb bravely came here.

However, when it was about to pick a fruit from the tree, it was suddenly attacked by a wild Pokémon.

That wild Pokémon was very powerful, and the lamb it mounted was no match for it, so it had no choice but to run away in embarrassment.

It hid in a cave with serious injuries, and eventually lost its life because it was too seriously injured and failed to receive timely treatment.

*

After all the illusions ended, Arceus fell into a rare silence, just looking blankly at the figures in the mist.

Is this the bond between humans and Pokémon?

At this moment, Arceus clearly saw the power called "bond" flowing through the human and those Pokémon.

The life of a mount lamb is too short. If it had not met that human being, its life would have ended very early.

Arceus was not surprised, because this kind of thing happened all the time in the wild.

What surprised him the most were the human's other three Pokémon.

Even though its memory was sealed, the dragon still followed its instinct and went to the cliff every day to wait. Maybe even it didn't know what it was waiting for, right?

And that Bobbler? The once timid Bobbler, after meeting that human, has actually grown into a brave and reliable Pokémon?

It's amazing how humans and Pokémon meet.

Of course, the one that surprised Arceus the most was the Pokémon named Gulton.

No, to be precise, it should be called a motorcycle lizard.

Arceus could tell that its relationship with Naoki was the deepest, so deep that it had created an obsession, so that even if its memory was sealed, it could still remember everything.

Is it the body's instinct?

Their feelings transcend all time and space.

When he heard the scream of that Pokémon because he couldn't find the human, even as a god, he couldn't help but be moved by it.

Not to mention Kapu·Fin on the side.

At this moment, the patron saint of Poni Island was bursting with tears in his eyes.

"Fin Fin..."

It's so great that they met!

Thinking of what the Creator God next to him had said before, Kapu Fin Fin couldn't help but ask: "Fin Fin?" (God, did they pass the test?)

Arceus came back to his senses and nodded gently: "Yes, they have passed my test."

"Fin Fin!" Great!

Hearing Arceus's words, Capu Fin let out a burst of cheers.

Arceus quietly looked at Naoki and a few Pokémon who slowly opened his eyes in the mist.

He thought to himself: In this case, He can safely entrust that task to him.

However, the right time has not yet come.

After thinking for a moment, Arceus' thoughts moved slightly, and then several Z-pure crystals emitting light slowly landed in front of Kapu Fin.

Kapu Fin Fin was slightly startled and looked over in confusion: "Fin Fin?!"

"They need these things." Arceus said, "It's up to you to give them to them for me."

Kapu Fin Fin was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Fin Fin?" (Don't you see them?)

Arceus shook his head slightly: "Now is not the time. I am about to leave, so this place will be returned to you. In addition, please do not reveal my existence to them."

"Fin Fin..."

Kapu Fin Fin was startled, then nodded and agreed.

Arceus glanced at it, and then disappeared in a burst of divine light.

The fog shrouding the ruins on the other side gradually dissipated.

Naoki rubbed his head and opened his eyes. Realizing the current situation, he quickly turned around and looked around.

When he saw Gulton and the others not far away, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It is indeed an illusion created by the mist!

At this time, Guluton, Kuailong, Babu and the goat also woke up.

When they saw the straight tree not far away, their eyes suddenly turned red.

Big drops of tears welled up in their eyes, and several Pokémon rushed over, fearful and aggrieved, and surrounded Naoki.

Kuailong howled, his big eyes filled with tears, and stretched out his claws to hug Naoki.

"Woo..."

It waited for Zhishu for a long time, but Zhishu didn't even come to look for it. Kuailong felt extremely aggrieved.

However, before he could hug him for a while, the normally ferocious Gulton showed a pitiful expression and snatched Naoki away from his arms.

Therefore, Luton drooped his head, like a pitiful big dog, and put his head into Naoki's arms in fear.

"Ah, geez..." Gu Ledun's muffled voice came.

Babu and the goat were also full of tears at this moment.

"Bamo..."

Guluton occupied Zhi Shu's belly, and Babu Mu jumped into Zhi Shu's arms and cried sadly like a child.

Looking at the appearance of several Pokémon, Naoki opened his mouth. He originally wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He just hugged them gently and wiped away their tears with his hands. .

Although I don’t know what Gulledon and the others experienced, what is certain is that they also encountered the same thing as him.

Just as they missed him, he missed them.

After a long time, the emotions of several Pokémon gradually calmed down.

Naoki stood up and looked up at the Pokémon that had appeared in front of them at some point.

Kapu Fin Fin looked at the human named Naoki with gentle and loving eyes.

The next second, it stretched out its hand, and several Z-pure crystals emitting a faint light slowly floated from its hand to Naoki's face.
