Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 559 Naoki’s “home”, visiting his father-in-law and mother-in-law, about marriage (7,000 words long chapter)

　　Everyone in the expedition team has their own story and life. From now on, they will meet new Pokémon, make new friends, and encounter new stories.

Whether it is the Pokémon rescued by Mewtwo or the Pokémon invited back by the Heroes Expedition, everyone lives in the same place.

From now on, he doesn’t have to worry!

Seeing this, Naoki put away Arceus' mobile phone, stood up and opened the bathroom door, and saw Gu Ledun squatting aside.

 “Ah gahhh~!”

Seeing Naoshu coming out, Luton stood up immediately, his big tail wagging.

Zhi Shu grinned at it, reached out and touched Gu Ledun's head, and said to it: "Let's go! We are also going to start a new life!"

Now that the Arceus incident is over, the matter he discussed with Qishu a few months ago should also be officially put on the agenda.

 There are not so many red tapes for two people to fall in love in the Pokémon world.

Since he likes Qishu and Qishu likes him, they can register their marriage and move in together.

Although Naoki felt a little happy, everyone in this world seemed to be like this, so Naoki chose to do as the Romans do.

But before that, he had to make good preparations and visit Qishu’s parents with some gifts.

 Zhi Shu stood up and walked outside.

Guluton followed behind, and it recalled it carefully. Although the memory of the past was too long ago, Guluton remembered everything about Naoki.

It discovered that this year, Zhishu and Qishu will hold a wedding.

 If it remembers correctly, their little master will be born soon.

By then, Zhishu Ranch will be complete, and they will live happily together in the ranch.

Thinking of that scene, Leden couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on his face.

 “Ah gahis~”

So Leden followed Naoki to the living room, and Naoki went to the second floor to use the computer to check what gifts to give to his father-in-law and mother-in-law before getting married in the Pokémon world.

 Leton stayed in the living room and fantasized about his future life.

This time, it will be involved from a completely different angle!

The Babu landhog who came back to drink water saw the silly expression on Gulton's face, and he couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Bamo?" (What are you thinking about?)

 Huluton subconsciously replied: "Ah gah!" (I'm thinking about the little master that Naoki gave birth to!)

 “Bamo?!” Babu was shocked.

 Little master? Naoki is going to have a baby? when? How come it doesn't know?

So Luton realized that he had let slip, and he immediately said perfunctorily: "Ah geez." (I guessed.)

However, Babu Tubo entered his own imagination.

Zhi Shu is about to give birth to a baby, so will Zhi Shu’s baby be able to come to the pasture and make friends with them like Anna in "Warm Lava Bug House"?

 “Bamo!”

The Bobcat was looking forward to it so much that he didn't care about the story and went straight to the lava bugs in the fireplace and told it about Zhi Shu's baby that would come to the pasture soon and make friends with them.

 The lava worm in the fireplace raised his head and looked over with confusion: "How cool?"

　　　Babu Tubo fantasized about his future life: "Bamo~"

 Will Naoki’s baby be like cute little Anna, looking for them all over the house, wanting to make friends with them and play with them?

 Should they hide and play hide-and-seek with the baby?

 “Well…” The lava bug exhaled a mouthful of white smoke helplessly.

 It had seen the Warm Lava Bug Home with Babu Woodchuck before.

But if it remembers correctly, Anna in the Nuan Nuan Lava Bug House is not the baby of the owner of the lava bug, right?

  It seems that the relationship between them is that of a granddaughter and a grandfather and grandmother?

 …Can’t figure it out.

 The lava worms are in chaos.

“It depends on the other person’s preferences when giving gifts... If it’s a trainer, give me a commemorative Poké Ball, or something the trainer likes...” Naoki muttered as he read the gift-giving guide displayed on the computer screen.

 It makes sense, but he has never met Qishu’s parents before and doesn’t know their preferences and behavior.

 So, after thinking for a while, Naoki dialed Qishu's phone number using Rotom's mobile phone, ready to discuss it with her.

Soon, the call was connected. When Qishu heard what Zhishu wanted, he immediately laughed stupidly.

 “Do you really want to come over?” she asked.

In Qishu's understanding, it is a very solemn matter for both parties to meet their parents. Whenever this time comes, it means that the two will get married soon.

"Of course." Naoki nodded: "But the problem is that I don't know what they like. It would be bad if I give them inappropriate gifts later."

 Speaking of business, Qishu also started to think.

"My dad was also a trainer when he was young. His favorite things are all things related to trainers. I recently saw him watching the game of Galar champion Dandi! He seems to like Dandi very much. ”

“My mother likes Angry Manju, a specialty of the Chengdu area. She ate it once when she was traveling, and she still hasn’t forgotten it.”

 After a moment, Qishu chuckled: "Hey, actually, as long as it's from you, they will like anything."

　　Naoki: "...They are not you."

 Angry steamed buns?

It would be no problem to go to Kaji Town to buy a pack. After all, at Guluton's speed, he could run back and forth in no time.

As for Dandi, it was much simpler. Naoki decided to use his connections to ask Dandi for an autographed photo.

 The Qishu side is still busy receiving challengers.

 It’s almost August now, and in two months the major leagues will start holding league competitions.

 So these days, challengers who have not collected enough gym badges are rushing to make progress.

 After the two agreed on a time to visit, they hung up the phone.

  Qishu went to meet the challenger, while Naoki went to prepare a gift for the visit.

   *

 Yggdrasil, Expedition Guild.

 It has been a while since everyone entered the incredible maze adventure.

During this period, everyone brought back various props from the maze and made many Pokémon friends.

Today, when everyone gathered together to chat after returning from the adventure, they suddenly talked about Naoki.

 Some Pokémon recalled what Naoki once said.

　　　Naoki seems to have said that when he gets old, he will move to the World Tree to live with everyone.

 “Mi? Mi!” (Naoki also wants to come to live on the World Tree? Great!)

Hearing this, the Mililons jumped up excitedly.

 The other Pokémon are also very happy.

 “Qiafu…” Ke Mu Shou Gong was a little worried.

Since there are no houses or beds for humans to live in on the World Tree yet, will it be possible for Naoshu to sleep with them on a big tree in the forest?

 The tree will fall down if that happens.

 “lucky…” Lucky Egg didn’t know what to do for a while.

At this moment, one of the wooden geckos thought of a good idea.

“Chafu!” (In this case, let’s help Zhishu build a house together!)

The expedition team has recently collected a lot of things in the maze, and they have also made friends with old builders, who are good at building things.

 As long as they are there, any house can be built!

Hearing this, other Pokémon thought this was a good idea.

 Charizard: "Ouch!" (In that case, I'll go to the maze to help collect wood!)

The mountain rat happily raised its sharp claws: "Kuga!" (I helped dig the foundation of the house!)

Pikachu raised his tail: "Pikapi!" (I can use the iron tail to chop wood!)

　　Just do it, the Pokémon immediately took action and began to help Naoki build his home on the World Tree.

Not only the house where Naoki lives, but also where the Pokémon in the ranch live!

 In this case, when Naoki and those Pokémon move here in the future, they can come and live here directly!

   *

 Naoki didn’t know the plans of the Pokémon on the World Tree because he was busy preparing gifts.

 In the blink of an eye, time came to September 1, 201 of the Alliance Calendar.

 Today is the day that Zhishu and Qishu agreed to visit Niangguang City.

　　Early in the morning, the pasture became busy.

After learning about Naoki's plan, the two brothers and sisters, like caring butlers, prepared a decent dress for Naoki and carefully arranged the folds and collar of his clothes.

 “Aye~” Sister Ai Guanshi was very happy. In this case, Naoki should have a family soon, and when the time comes, new life will come to the ranch.

 In this case, Naoki will also have a family!

　　Although to Naoki, they and Guluton are both family members, Pokémon family and human family are always different.

　　If you stay with Pokémon all day without talking to humans, Naoki will definitely feel very lonely.

The Pokémon family and the human family are all by Naoki's side, so it's perfect!

My sister loves to care about Naoki and is happy for Naoki.

At the side, his brother Ai Guanshi is also helping Naoki prepare gifts.

 In recent years, my brother's housekeeper has become more mature and stable. It no longer needs to pretend to be a little adult, but has become a real big Pokémon and a qualified housekeeper.

"Okay, thank you." Naoki reached out and took the gift from his brother Ai Guanshi.

Brother Ai Guanshi glanced at Naoki calmly and nodded lightly: "Aiye."

Zhi Shu looked at the other Pokémon around him who were looking happy, as if everyone was happy for him.

 “Then, I’m going to set off!” Zhi Shu said.

 “Gah!”

 “Bamo!”

 “Ouch!”

　　　…”

 All Pokémon responded one after another.

 In their eyes, Naoki rode Guledon on the road to Niangguang City with gifts.

 The gift box contained a gift he specially prepared for Qishu’s parents.

It contains a signed photo of Dandi, some hard-to-find championship peripherals, and a bag of freshly baked angry steamed buns.

This kind of steamed buns is a specialty of Kaji Town. If left for a long time, the taste will be affected, so Zhi Shu ordered it in advance and went to get it back this morning.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

 Facing this kind of thing for the first time in my life, it is impossible to say that I am not nervous.

 Even when he faced Arceus, Naoki wasn't nervous.

 Because he still doesn’t know what kind of people Qishu’s parents are, whether they will be amiable or sarcastic, and whether they will like his gifts.

 Gulton, who was underneath him, noticed Naoki's mood, and immediately comforted him: "Ah, geez!" Don't worry, nothing will happen, everything will go very smoothly!

Feeling Gu Ledun’s thoughts, Naoki was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked:

"How do you know if you haven't experienced this kind of thing? But having said that, Guluton, I don't think I've asked you yet, will your Pokémon living in the past fall in love with each other and then have children?"

If not, how do those paradoxical Pokémon thrive?

Huluton's eyes widened, as if he didn't expect Naoki to ask this question.

 “Ah gah!”

"Um?"

 So Luton stopped talking.

 After being interrupted by Gu Ledun, Naoki suddenly became less nervous than before.

 At this time, Niangguang City arrived.

 Guluton landed at the door of the place where Qishu lived. From a distance, Zhishu saw Qishu waiting there.

Autumn is here, and the weather is getting cooler. Qishu puts on a yellow sweatshirt in the style of an electric trainer, with a cartoon pattern of Magnemite printed on it. He looks very cute.

Before Zhi Shu landed, he saw Qi Shu and the Electric Belly Frog standing in front of the building and waving to them vigorously.

 “Over here—”

 So Luton landed on the ground, Zhishu got down from it and asked: "Are you going over now?"

“Hehe!” Qishu nodded cheerfully: “Yes, I have told them in advance, they should be preparing lunch to entertain you now!”

Naoki: "To be honest, I'm a little nervous. They don't like me, right?" "Don't worry! Hello, little Gulton!" Qishu leaned down and touched Gulton's head, smiling. He greeted it and then continued: "They will definitely like you, if they don't agree..."

 At this point, Qishu opened his mouth, revealing a pair of cute little tiger teeth, and a sly smile appeared on his face: "Then let's elope!"

 Zhi Shu was dumbfounded.

Qishu held Naoki's arm, and his voice was full of fighting spirit: "Go forward bravely like the King of Eels jumping over the dragon's gate!"

 Naoki: “…”

Seeing Qishu’s quirky appearance, Zhishu knew that he would probably not be bored in his future life!

 “Then let’s go!”

 The two of them took Gu Ledun and Electric Belly Frog and set off towards the old house of the Qishu family.

 The house where Qishu lives is not far from the house where his parents live. Even if you walk, you can reach the place in ten minutes.

“That’s it!” Qishu pointed at a mansion and said to Naoki.

Zhi Shu looked intently and saw a double-story house with a courtyard located in the middle of a street.

The door to the courtyard is open, with a tree planted in the middle and a lawn planted on both sides of the road. Some Pokémon are playing in the yard.

 Electric petrel, motorcycle lizard, shuttlecock flower, walking grass, elegant cat...

Seeing the two people coming in, these Pokémon all cast curious glances this way.

Qishu greeted them cheerfully: "Good morning, everyone!"

 “Come over, come over!”

 Inside the house, a man and a woman heard the noise outside and immediately came to the window to observe the situation outside.

 They were Qishu’s parents, the men and women who had visited Zhishu Ranch before.

Looking at that familiar figure, the man's mind once again recalled his experience of being raped in the pasture, and his face suddenly turned pale.

 Smelly boy...hum!

“Oh, don’t make such an expression! Just smile, you should be happy today! Otherwise, people will misunderstand that we don’t welcome him.”

 As a result, the corners of the man's mouth turned downward.

"Stingy!" The woman pinched his waist angrily, and then threatened: "No matter what, remember to behave well later, or see how I deal with you tonight! Get ready, I'm going to the kitchen, you should open the door "

man:"…"

 At this moment, the doorbell rang.

 The woman quickly turned around and walked into the kitchen and started cooking, pretending that she didn't see anything.

 The man sighed helplessly and stepped forward to open the door.

Zhi Shu was thinking about how to say hello when the door in front of him opened.

 He greeted subconsciously: "Hello, uncle..."

 But the next second, he saw a familiar figure inside the door.

The two looked at each other, and Naoki was stunned for a moment.

 The man's expression was serious. Thinking of his wife's instructions, his expression softened slightly, but his tone still sounded very serious: "Come in!"

 After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the house.

Seeing the appearance of Naoki and his father, Qishu on the side was very confused. She asked in a low voice: "Have you seen my father before?"

　　Naoki: "...This is a long story."

 “Then let’s make a long story short.”

“In short, my uncle went to the ranch to challenge him, and then I beat him up.”

Hearing this, Qishu immediately opened her eyes. She thought of her parents' strange behavior before, and the whole thing immediately came to mind.

 I secretly went to see someone else’s house, but ended up getting fucked...

She really couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.

　　The man who heard the movement turned around and glanced: "?"

Qishu quickly waved his hand and explained: "It's okay, it's okay, I thought of something interesting!"

man:"…"

Just.

 He looked at Naoki and said to him in a rather stiff tone: "Sit down!"

At this moment, the woman walked out of the kitchen. She pretended to have just discovered the arrival of the two of them, with a smile on her face:

"arrive?"

Seeing the woman's familiar face, Naoki was stunned again.

Isn't this...the lady who got lost near the ranch and asked him for directions and then gave him a set of handmade elf balls?

At this moment, no matter how dull he was, he guessed what the two of them meant.

They did not go to challenge the trial, nor did they really get lost, but went to the pasture to observe him!

Seeing Naoki's expression, the woman's face showed a kind smile: "We meet again. Let's sit down for a while. Lunch will be ready soon. Let's talk slowly later!"

 “Hey, okay!” Naoki responded and immediately sat down on the sofa.

 But when he faced the man opposite him, he didn't know what to say.

He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Uncle, I didn't mean it last time. I didn't know it was you..."

man:"…"

He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but from the corner of his eye, he noticed the woman behind Naoki who poked her head out of the kitchen and gave him a warning look.

"It's okay, Pokémon battles should be taken seriously." The man said, "This is the way of a trainer!"

Zhi Shu breathed a sigh of relief and put the gift he brought on the table: "This is the gift I prepared for you."

At this time, the woman also prepared lunch. She called Qishu and put the food on the table together.

Seeing the gifts on the table, a smile appeared on her face: "This kid is really here. He's already here, so what kind of gift does he bring... Come and eat! Come here too for this Pokémon. This is what I specially prepared for you." The food you cooked!”

 Hulden looked over and was immediately attracted by the smell of the food: "Ah, sizzling!"

Seeing Gu Ledun's appearance, Naoki was no longer as nervous as before. After he responded, he was invited to sit at the dining table.

 The man on the sofa sighed helplessly, then stood up and followed.

 Soon, the four people and the Pokémon were sitting around the dining table.

Zhi Shu was surprised to find that the dining table in front of him was filled with all kinds of Chinese food!

The woman said gently: "I heard from Qishu that you like to eat this kind of food, so I prepared these. I don't know if you like it or not. Try it quickly!"

Hearing this, Naoki was suddenly moved. Did he prepare a big table just because he liked it?

He glanced at Qishu, who grinned at him.

Zhi Shu picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, then nodded immediately and said, "Yeah, it's delicious!"

 “It’s delicious, then eat more!” The woman saw Naoki’s expression, and she felt more and more pity for this child who had no parents to run the ranch alone.

 What a wonderful child!

　Not only is he kind, but he is also very capable. One person manages such a large ranch in a decent manner.

His previous life must have been lonely, right? But it doesn’t matter, there will be Qishu and them in the future!

 “Are you still busy at the ranch?” the woman asked.

"No, it's not busy. Winter is coming soon, and the fields can rest for a while." Naoki replied truthfully.

"That's good. If you are too busy, remember to tell us and we can go over and help!" the woman said.

During the chat, the atmosphere gradually relaxed, and Naoki was not as nervous as he was at the beginning.

 They talked a lot during the dinner, about the ranch, about the online store, about the trials in the ranch and about ordinary life.

 Zhishu told them everything.

 The man was a trainer when he was young. When he heard that Naoki created the trial to help the passing trainers, his expression softened.

“Yes, that can indeed help many trainers improve their strength.”

“Hehe, even the chief is thanking Naoki!” Qishu said from the side.

 The man was very surprised: "Chief?"

"Yes, Zhi Shu is very powerful!" Qishu nodded repeatedly: "Many gym leaders and champions will go to his ranch to challenge the trials and hone their strength. Even if they are strangers, Zhi Shu will receive them seriously! So far, no one has been able to defeat him!”

The man opened his mouth. He didn't expect this young man to be so powerful...even the champion trainer was no match for him!

 No wonder he would lose to such a being with a string of six... He was so convinced that he lost!

 “It’s not that exaggerated!” Naoki said modestly.

Hearing this, the woman immediately understood how her daughter and Naoki met.

 She really saw the right person!

The woman's eyes became more and more satisfied, and she asked with a smile: "So when do you plan to get married? That's why you came here this time, right? Do you have an idea in mind?"

  Qishu looked at Zhishu.

Zhi Shu was stunned for a moment, he didn’t expect this topic to be so direct.

The woman seemed to see what he was thinking and explained:

"Actually, as long as two people like each other, nothing is a problem. They want to live with each other, see each other anytime and anywhere, and stay with each other. If you have this idea, you can get married!"

Hearing this, Zhishu looked at Qishu.

At this moment, the man who had been silent on the side spoke.

 “Let’s have spring next year! Spring flowers bloom in March, which is a good sign.”

 He had studied it secretly before, and even found a fortune teller in the market for divination.

Diviners say that the spring of the year 202 of the Alliance Calendar is a good time to get married. It is said that if you get married in March when the spring flowers are blooming, the couple will grow old together and be happy forever.

 March? That's not six months away, it's been a long time...

Thinking of this, Naoki suddenly realized that he was also looking forward to living with Qi Shu.

Perhaps this is the customs and customs of the Pokémon world?

 “Okay.” He no longer hesitated, nodded immediately and agreed.

 After saying that, Zhi Shu looked at Qi Shu, only to find that Qi Shu was also looking at him.

 The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of expectation.

A smile appeared on the woman's face: "In that case, it's settled!"

The man's expression softened. After thinking for a while, he said: "You are alone and have no parents to help you. Leave it to us to prepare for your marriage!"

The woman also cast a pleading look at Naoki: "What do you think?"

Zhi Shu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I won't bother you anymore. I have some elders in Ziqin Town. They will help me take a look."

 “Well, in that case, it’s decided!” the woman chuckled.

   *

In the evening, Zhi Shu said goodbye to Qishu and her parents, and returned to Ziqin Town with Gu Ledun. He asked Mayor Thomas about this matter and asked what he should do.

 Hearing this, Mayor Thomas was shocked.

Because of this, the news that Naoki was getting married soon spread throughout Ziqin Town.

Kerri, Alvin, Mrs. Dantès, Mr. Elif and others sent their blessings one after another, and enthusiastically wanted to help Naoki prepare for the wedding next spring.

 Zhi Shu was touched by everyone's enthusiasm. The people here...are so nice!

The Pokémon in the ranch also learned about Naoki’s upcoming marriage. After learning the specific meaning of marriage from the caretaker, the Pokémon all seemed very happy.

 They are also sincerely happy for Naoki.

 Late at night, Naoki was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

So Leden lay next to him and closed his eyes with peace of mind. As expected, he remembered correctly and everything went smoothly.

 In this case, it will be able to see its little master again soon!

 Yeci learned that Naoki was getting married the next day.

 Early in the morning, Zhi Shu received a message from Ye Ci.

　　【Ye Ci: Are you getting married? Congratulations! Can I apply to be your witness＾_＾】
