Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 563 Peace every year

 “What on earth is going on?”

 Looking at the data displayed on the screen, Dr. Kuroki couldn't help but murmured.

 Is it a machine failure?

Thinking of this, Dr. Kuroki quickly began to check the status of the machine. His hands were typing on the keyboard quickly. Five minutes later, the computer showed that everything was normal with the machine.

This also means that... this Motorized Lizard has been bred to perfection beyond imagination, and has even surpassed the limits of a Pokémon like Motorized Lizard!

Dr. Kuroki turned his head and looked at the cute motorcycle lizard blankly: "This is really unbelievable..."

Even if you look around the world, there are very few people who can cultivate Pokémon to this level.

"You are an excellent trainer!" Dr. Kuroki looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed.

 Zhi Shu was paying attention to the data of the Motorized Lizard on the computer screen.

On that top, the strength and speed have been improved most obviously.

“Does birthday cake increase the race value of the Biker’s strength and speed?”

As for physical defense and special defense, Naoki guessed that it might have been affected by the "Dragon Coat".

 That exaggerated physical strength is most likely due to long-term drinking of life goat milk.

The Goat's Milk of Life, which is comparable to holy ash, is filled with the scent of the World Tree. Long-term drinking can greatly improve the physical fitness of Pokémon, making them healthier and stronger.

　To express it in game terms, the maximum HP of the Motorized Lizard has been greatly increased.

 Hearing what Dr. Kuroki said, Naoki smiled slightly, but didn't say much.

 “There are also the efforts of Motor Lizard himself.” He said.

 After all, Motorized Lizard had been fighting Gulledon every day in order to become stronger, and Gulledon had been doing his best to guide it.

 For the Motorized Lizard, Luton is both a teacher and a friend.

Although Guluton occasionally becomes jealous of Motorcycle Lizard because of some small things in life, it is not a big problem.

 Generally speaking, Guluton is still a Pokémon that "knows the general situation" and will not exclude or bully Biker Lizard because of this kind of thing.

Guluton is very smart, so smart that Naoki sometimes has the illusion that it is not a paradoxical Pokémon from ancient times, but a modern Pokémon with rich life experience.

However, Luton is a legendary Pokémon after all. Even if it is an ancient Pokémon, its IQ and status are at the top of the ecosystem.

“Huh—it looks like I have to update the data of the Motorized Lizard.”

 After saying that, Dr. Kuroki planned to adjust the data of the Motorized Lizard, but he soon realized something.

That is to say, not all motorcycle lizards will have this situation. Maybe this motorcycle lizard is special. There are too few cases to be used as experimental data, and it can only be treated as a rare and special individual.

Thinking of this, Dr. Kuroki stopped what he was doing.

 After confirming the Motorized Lizard's physical condition, Naoki no longer needed to stay in this research institute.

 He was ready to say goodbye to Dr. Kuroki, leave Ziqin Town, and return to the ranch.

But just when he was about to leave with Motor Lizard and Gulledon, the door of the research institute was suddenly pushed open.

Immediately afterwards, a little boy about ten years old ran in excitedly.

The boy was sweating profusely from running, but even so, it did not affect his mood or excited tone at all.

“Doctor! I am Xiaosong, and I finally turn ten years old today, so I come to you to pick up my starter Pokémon and start traveling with it!”

"Is it Komatsu?" Dr. Kuroki stood up and took out three pokeballs from another room: "I have prepared your Pokémon for you. Come and choose one from the three of them!"

Seeing this scene, Naoki stopped with interest.

Dr. Kuroki threw three elf balls.

 With a flash of white light, a fire crocodile, a new leaf cat and a water duck appeared in the research institute.

The boy took a liking to the Fire Crocodile at first sight, and he had already made his decision before he came over.

 “I choose Fire Crocodile!”

　　"What's the fire crocodile? From now on, this little guy will be taken care of by you!" Dr. Kuroki smiled and handed the fire crocodile to the boy and gave him five elf balls.

After listening to Dr. Kuroki's instructions, the boy excitedly picked up the Fire Crocodile and went out for adventure.

“Ah, it’s so energetic!” Dr. Kuroki said with a smile.

Zhi Shu was a little surprised. He asked: "Will all the children in the town come to you to collect Pokémon?"

Dr. Kuroki hummed.

“When I first came here, the Padia Alliance found me and asked me to help distribute starter Pokémon to the children in this town,” he said.

 Zhi Shu nodded, this kind of thing is indeed what Yeci will do.

"But, this kind of thing is normal, whether it is the Padia region or the Kanto region." Dr. Kuroki said with a smile.

“Children who are over ten years old in various places will be registered in the population system. When they are over ten years old, the major alliances will prepare initial Pokémon for the children and hand them over to research institutes located in major towns. , distributed to those children.”

“I was entrusted with such an important task not long after I arrived in the Padia region. It’s really overwhelming...” Dr. Kuroki said in distress, rubbing his head.

 Naoki: “…”

Poor doctor, he was taken into consideration as soon as he moved to the Padia area.

 He can only say that he is worthy of being kind!

Speaking of Yeci, when Zhi Shu was chatting with Qi Shu in the evening, he heard Qi Shu mention something again.

That is, the championship challenge system in the Padia region seems to be undergoing reform.

“The Chief is very envious of the excitement when other regions hold alliance competitions. She feels that not only can it attract more trainers to our Padia, but it can also show the strength of Padia to other regions.”

“So, the chief decided to follow the example of other places and hold the league competition in Padya next year.” Qishu said.

"It really needs to be changed." In this regard, Naoki quite agreed with Yeci's approach.

 Because that will definitely attract more trainers to travel to Padia and collect gym badges to challenge the league competition.

 This process will bring great development to the economy of the Padia region, and not only that. It can also promote the prosperity of tourism and other industries.

"It's a good thing that I stuck to my original intention and declined the chief's invitation. Otherwise, I would have become a wage earner in the Padian Alliance now, just like Aoki." Naoki couldn't help but sigh.

Qishu chuckled: "Aoki is really pitiful. Not only does he have to accept the challenge of the gym, but he also has to help other departments. The chief often sends him on business trips."

 Zhi Shu was very puzzled by this.

With Aoki’s status and king-level strength, it’s impossible to be short of money. Why is he still such a social creature?

 Perhaps "enjoying it"?

However, Naoki feels that it is more of a responsibility! Aoki is a person with a heavy sense of responsibility in seeking his position.

I can only say that everyone has their own way of living!

 For him, his favorite part of life is running a ranch with everyone.

   *

Autumn turns to winter, and the season of withered and yellow leaves leaves quietly. In the blink of an eye, white snow begins to fall from the sky.

 Snowflakes fell on the roof, on the ground, on the farmland, and on the pastures of braided sheep. In December of the Alliance Calendar 201, the Padia region welcomed the first snow of this winter as scheduled.

 Hong comes the New Year of 201.

In the cold winter, the fields are no longer suitable for cultivating crops. Farmers who usually go out early and come back late rarely stay at home, sitting in front of the warm fireplace with their families and Pokémon, chatting in the heavy snow. Homely.

 Their cellars are filled with food for the winter, including sausages, cheese, cured fish, barley bread, wine, bacon, dried wild mushrooms...

 Zhishu Ranch is also one of them.

In order to prevent heavy snow from blocking roads, he stored a lot of food in the cellar early.

There is everything to eat and drink. Even Zhu Yifa, who is always worried about not having enough food and whether he will be hungry, will have a down-to-earth smile when he sees this scene.

 That morning, Qishu came to the pasture.

Since today is New Year’s Eve, Naoki started busy early in the morning.

　　Prepare New Year gifts for the Pokémon, prepare the ingredients for tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner, and the fireworks to be set off tonight.

When Qishu came over, Naoki was writing a Spring Festival couplets. He didn't feel it in the past few years, but this year he suddenly got inspiration and wanted to write a pair of Spring Festival couplets and post them on the door of his house.

“The twelfth lunar month is full of fish and shrimps, and the harvest season is full of chickens and ducks...” Qishu murmured and read out the words above. She asked with surprise on her face: “What does this mean?”

"There are plenty of fish and shrimps during the twelfth lunar month, and plump chickens and ducks during the Chinese New Year. People living on the earth will prepare abundant food to celebrate the harvest." Naoki said as he used the prepared paste to paste the couplet on the Beside the door.

Although he had never heard of this sentence, Qishu miraculously understood the meaning of Zhishu’s words.

 “It does sound very happy!” she said.

Zhi Shu smiled, turned around and said, "There are still some goods at home that have not been sorted out. Can you help me?"

　　"Okay, okay!" Qishu chuckled, and then released his Pokémon from the elf ball: "Everyone, come out!"

With white lights flashing, electric belly frogs and dream monsters appeared one after another in the living room.

 The Pokémon of Qishu sat around the fireplace with Gullton, Motorized Lizard, and Baboo, looking at the burning lava bugs inside, and chatting quietly.

Zhi Shu and Qishu began to unpack the goods in the living room, most of which Zhi Shu bought using the online shopping app.

Like fireworks and some other regional specialties.

 The two of them were unpacking and sorting out the goods here, while the Pokémon were warming up around the fireplace over there.

Zhi Shu and Qi Shu looked at that scene and suddenly felt a strange feeling in their hearts.

They are parents buying new year’s goods during the Chinese New Year, while the Pokémon are a group of children playing with each other to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.

“It’s like home.” Qishu supported his chin with his hand and looked at this scene with touching eyes.

 Naoki turned his head and looked at her.

"Huh... I didn't expect that I will get married soon!" Qishu said softly: "To form a new family with others... I have never thought about this kind of thing before, and in three months, I will I want to have a family of my own!”

“I never thought about it before I met you,” Naoki said with a smile.

Qishu looked at him: "Huh?"

“At that time, I often thought that it would be nice to just live with the Pokémon like this, run this ranch together, and live a normal and happy life.”

“But later, when I saw other ranchers taking care of Pokémon and running the ranch with their families, I couldn’t help but think about what it would be like to have a family like that.” Naoki said.

 “What about now?” Qishu asked.

"Now?" Naoki laughed: "I'm looking forward to life in three months."

 It is really amazing that he and Qishu, two completely different people, are going to get married soon.

 One is a rancher in the countryside, the other is a gym leader living in a big city, one is in the far west of Padia, and the other is in the far east of Padia.

 In fact, at first, Naoki was a little worried that he and Qishu would neglect the Pokémon at home.

 But it was only later that he realized that his worries were completely unnecessary.

 Because no matter what the two of them do, they will take their Pokémon with them as a matter of course.

Qishu always says: "I can't leave Pokémon alone, and neither can you, so let's take them with us!"

Then it will evolve into a situation where the two of them take care of the Pokémon together...

The two brothers and sisters, Ai Gushi, watched the two people sorting things from a distance.

 Sister Ai Guanshi couldn't help but say: "Oh~" (They look so happy~)

 Brother Ai Guanshi nodded calmly: "Aye."

Whether it is my sister who likes to take charge of the waiter or my brother who likes to take charge of the waiter, I am sincerely happy for Naoki at this moment.

 Especially the younger sister likes to take care of her, because this way she can use her best skill of taking care of the baby!

 This took it a long time to learn!

Thinking of this, sister Ai Guansi looked at her brother and said to him: "Oh." (When the time comes, I will take care of the baby, and you have to wash the baby's diapers.)

 “Aye?!” Brother Tusband was shocked. He thought about it carefully and then said calmly: “Aye?!” (There is no diaper anymore.)

 Their parents have given them training, including how to use diapers and diapers.

 Because not all families in the world use baby diapers, there are still some families using old-fashioned diapers.

 Based on its understanding of Zhi Shu, there is a 99% chance that Zhi Shu will choose the convenient and fast disposable diapers.

Hearing this, my sister Ai Guanshi also realized this.

It was about to say something more, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

 The straight trees and strange trees in the living room raised their heads one after another.

The caring brother didn’t want to hear what his sister said about asking him to help the baby deal with the poop, so he hurriedly walked over and opened the door for the guest.

However, when the door opened, what appeared in front of it was not a human, but two tiny Pokémon!

 “One!”

 “miu!”

 “Aye?!” Brother Guanshi was slightly startled, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.

 Because the traveling dream and the baby bear are back, all the members of Zhishu Ranch are now here!

　No one is missing, and no one is missing. Everyone celebrates the New Year together, eating the New Year's Eve dinner cooked by Zhishu, staying together around the fireplace and watching the fireworks.

 After saying hello to his brother, the caretaker, the baby bear ran straight to Zhishu.

 “One!”

“Miu~” Meng Meng covered her mouth and laughed, then she also raised her long pink tail and floated towards Naoki.
