Chapter 595 Winter Holiday, Baby Bear’s Gift

On November 20, Alliance Calendar 202, the heavy snowfall for several days finally stopped.

Early in the morning, when Naoki opened the door, he saw that the world outside was completely shrouded in ice and snow.

The thick white snow completely buried the roads in the pasture, making it inconvenient to even go to the town.

Pokémon of all sizes poked their heads out from behind Naoki, observing the situation outside.

Naoki turned around and saw this scene, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to clear the snow with me?"

"Gah..." The motorcycle lizard shivered.

This is not because it is afraid, but because of the stress reaction of those cold winds blowing on its body.

Babu Groundhog was not very afraid of the cold. He patted his chest and flew outside the house.

Partner Ibrahimovic carefully stretched out his pads and touched the snow in front of him. The next second, a chill spread through his pads throughout his body. Partner Ibrahimovic shivered immediately and quickly retracted his pads. .

"Buyi!"

"If it's cold, just keep playing in the living room!" Naoki raised his head and glanced at the sky: "The snow has stopped and the sun will come out soon. It should be warmer at noon. You can go out to play again then!"

“Building snowmen, having snowball fights, hiding and seeking in the snow maze, there are many games in winter that you can’t play in other seasons!”

"Boo!" The Ibrahimovics, headed by their partner Ibrahimovic, nodded repeatedly. Then they will come out to play again!

Seeing this scene, the martial arts bear master sighed silently. He said nothing, turned around, picked up the shovel, walked outside, and started to help Zhi Shu shovel the snow.

Naoki looked at this scene with a smile, the martial arts bear master is really reliable!

"Ah gah!"

When Gulledon saw this scene, he picked up a shovel and started working.

Naoki was already used to this kind of thing.

He took another shovel as if he was familiar with it, and with the help of several Pokémon, he shoveled aside the snow blocking the road, and shoveled out several roads.

The one that leads to the chicken hut, the one that leads to the Pokémon hut, the one that leads to the underground cave...

After everything was completed, Babu Tubo directed Meltan to move a food box full of food from the house.

The Meltans are high-spirited and work seriously. There are four Meltans on each side of the box. They carry the box on their shoulders and move forward. The leading Meltan stands on the top of the box and commands the other eight Meltans.

They carried the food box to the stable, carried the black radish and ice radish inside and put them into the food troughs of the Ghost Horse and Snowstorm Horse.

Then, the Meltans carried the food boxes to the hut of the riding goat, the hut of the big milk tank and the braided sheep, and the underground cave of the salt giant and the three gophers, and delivered food to them.

After all the work was completed, the Meltans returned to the living room chattering, waiting for their meal.

My sister's caretaker brought them a large box of breakfast mixed with bottle caps and gold coins, and placed it in front of the Meltans.

This group of Meltans immediately began to feast happily.

At the same time, in the pasture, Naoki had begun to use the shoveled snow to build an ice and snow maze for the Pokémon to hide and seek.

The location of the maze was in an open space. In order to better build the maze, Zhi Shu specially found a spatula, tamped down the white and soft snow and smoothed it, and piled it together until he was almost two meters tall. High maze walls.

It took Zhi Shu a whole morning to build this maze. They had to move almost all the snow in the pasture and the surrounding snow here.

At twelve o'clock at noon, the Pokémon who were warming themselves in front of the fireplace at home heard Naoki's cry.

They ran out to take a look and saw a beautiful snow maze in the pasture.

"Buyi...!"

The Eevees all exclaimed in surprise.

The playful Ergui and Sai Fuhao had already excitedly ran forward to observe.

"Okay, let's go inside and play hide and seek!" Naoki said with a smile.

The Pokémon let out a cheer, then rushed into the snow maze that Naoki spent a whole morning building, and started playing the game.

"Would you like to go and play with everyone?" Naoki looked at the martial arts bear masters and Gu Ledun beside him.

However, the two Pokémon thought they were big Pokémon and could no longer roll around in the snow like little Pokémon.

Therefore, Martial Arts Master Xiong and Gu Ledun shook their heads and rejected the proposal.

And Naoki suddenly remembered that the two of them had been busy with him all morning: "You have been busy all morning, are you tired? Then let's go back and rest together! You can have lunch later."

He had already seen puffs of smoke coming out of the chimney.

Hearing this, Gu Luton and the martial arts master Xiong readily agreed.

When one person and two Pokémon returned home, Naoki turned his head and saw Qishu preparing lunch in the kitchen.

He quickly stepped forward and took over the work: "Didn't you say you won't do this?"

The younger sister Ai Guanshi, who was helping out at the side, was very helpless: "Oh..."

It has already advised you!

Qishu smiled stupidly: "It's not hard work, huh? Why are your hands so red?"

Naoki looked down and saw that his hands were as red as a big pig's trotters.

"I went to build a snow maze for the Pokémon. I must have been frozen in the snow, right?" Naoki didn't care much. Anyway, he was in good health.

Qishu touched it and immediately exclaimed: "It's so cold!"

Afraid that the ice would hit her, Naoki quickly pulled out her hand, squatted down, and looked at the lava bugs eating tree fruits under the stove.

"It'll be ready after a while. It's okay. You can go and rest! Just leave lunch to my sister and me."

My sister, Guanshi, nodded in agreement: "Oh!"

It stepped forward to support Qishu, trying to help her sit on the sofa in the living room.

Qishu could only agree reluctantly: "Okay then."

After they left, Naoki started cooking lunch for everyone while humming a tune.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and three petite figures flew in happily from outside.

Naoki turned around and saw that the Heroes expedition team, which had been traveling outside for several months, had finally returned to the ranch.

Naoki was not too surprised by their return, because Baby Bear had told him about it on his Rotom phone a few days in advance.

"You're back? Are you happy traveling outside?" Naoki asked.

"One!"

Baby Bear nodded happily.

Mew and Victini on the side were also very happy.

When they came back this time, they brought back a lot of gifts for Naoki!

My sister took care of the arrangement of the strange tree, then turned around and took out some honey buns, honey sweet tea, poffins and other snacks from the cupboard for the baby bears.

After running around for so long, you must be hungry already, right?

Sure enough, after seeing those snacks, the three Pokémon immediately started to eat them excitedly.

They hurried through the wind and snow, and now they finally returned to the pasture. Both Baby Bear and Dream felt relaxed all over at this moment.

Naoki put the ingredients into the pot, closed the lid and started to make the soup. Taking advantage of this moment, he came to the living room and watched Mew, Baby Bear, and Victini perform a mukbang show in front of him.

"Gift?"

"One!"

Baby Bear wiped his mouth, nodded his head vigorously, and took out his travel backpack.

There was some snow falling on the small travel backpack, and Zhi Shu guessed that they must have rushed back from the Hezhong area despite the wind and snow.

Baby Bear opened the zipper and began to take out the contents. "One!" (This is a treasure I picked up in a cave!) Baby Bear said while holding a huge golden bead.

"Sure enough, the Pokémon that picks up special characteristics can't resist the golden jewelry!" Naoki thought to himself.

"One!" (This is the tree fruit given to us by the Pokémon we helped!)

Huge gold beads, tree fruits, glass marbles, round stones...

Baby Bear took out the treasures he picked up one by one.

During this time, Mew and Victini also joined them.

Mew held a plastic flower, and Victini held a large, brightly colored mushroom.

"miu!"

"Nini!"

This is the treasure they brought back!

Naoki: "..." Mew and Victini were also infected by the "picking up" of baby bears.

He glanced at it and found that Mew's one was an ordinary plastic flower, while Victini's hand was a poisonous mushroom.

[Poisonous mushrooms: Inedible ingredients, but they are the favorite of some poisonous Pokémon. 】

Naoki: "..."

"miu?" Meng Meng was a little confused. Doesn't Naoki like it? This flower is very magical! It will never wither, so it picks it up!

Only then did Naoki realize that although this plastic flower looked ordinary, in Meng's eyes, this kind of flower that would never wither was probably very precious.

He took the flower and found a vase to put it in: "Thank you Dreamy, I like it very much."

"Miu!" Meng Meng was extremely happy.

Victini thought of the mushroom soup mentioned by Baby Bear and Meng Meng. It hugged the poisonous mushroom and said excitedly: "Nini!"

Naoki: "...Wait a minute, that's a poisonous mushroom. You'll faint after eating it!"

"Nini?!" Victini was shocked. He saw how beautiful the color of this mushroom was!

"The brighter the mushroom, the more poisonous it is." Naoki told Victini that there are no poison-type Pokémon in the pasture, so they can't use this mushroom.

However, this was Victini's wish, and Naoki accepted the poisonous mushroom in the end.

Baby Bear's gift wasn't over yet. He touched his backpack and finally took out an iron box from it.

Naoki saw the words "Feiyun Ice Cream" written on it at a glance.

"One!"

The baby bear was quite excited. He opened the lid and revealed the cloud-like white ice cream inside.

This is the gift they prepared for Naoki! Feiyun ice cream, a specialty of the Hezhong area, is said to be a treasure that cannot be found in other areas!

They heard about this from the local Pokémon in Feiyun City!

At this time, Naoki also saw the information about Feiyun Ice Cream.

[Feiyun Ice Cream: Ice cream, a specialty of Feiyun City in the Hezhong region, can cure all abnormal conditions of a Pokémon. 】

"Eh?" Feiyun ice cream really has such a magical effect? Naoki was a little surprised.

If he remembered correctly, it was not easy to buy this kind of ice cream, because even in Feiyun City, its purchase was restricted. It was said that each person could only buy it once a day.

It seems like Baby Bear has put in a lot of effort!

"I like this gift very much." Naoki reached out and touched the baby bear's head.

"One~"

At noon, in order to celebrate the return of the Heroes expedition team, Naoki prepared a sumptuous lunch for them.

After lunch, the long-term non-stop travel made Baby Bear and Mew exhausted physically and mentally, so after filling their stomachs, the three Pokémon nestled on the sofa and fell asleep.

Naoki sat aside and watched this scene. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the first time he saw the baby bear.

"Baby Bear is the Pokémon that has changed the most over the years." Naoki said.

Qishu on the side looked over: "Huh? Weren't they like this before?"

Naoki hummed: "Before I met the baby bear, I heard about its name from other ranchers. At that time, the baby bear was very cunning. It often used its cute appearance to deceive other ranchers. Eat, cheat and drink, and steal honey from people’s collections when they are not paying attention.”

Qishu was stunned. She had never heard Zhishu mention this matter before.

"What happened next?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Later, the baby bear came to my ranch... He experienced some things in the middle, and then I adopted him. The baby bear was actually very kind at heart. At a festival held by local ranchers, he apologized to those ranchers. "

"Later, it met Mew, and then formed the Hero Expedition Team with Mew, and began to help those Pokémon in need."

Speaking of this, Naoki couldn't help but feel very emotional.

"The relationship between humans and Pokémon is really magical."

Qishu heard what he meant, smiled and nodded: "Yes! Pokémon are the best creatures in the world, and many of my fans have been saved by Pokémon!"

The couple looked at the sleeping Pokémon in front of them silently. No one spoke anymore, but the same thought came to their mind -

It's great to meet them.

After the heavy snow, Naoki began to prepare this year's New Year's goods.

One sunny day, he drove his old pickup truck and took Gulleton to Zhiqin Town to do some shopping.

Vegetables, steaks, New Year's gifts from the Pokémon, new clothes for him and Qishu, and baby supplies for their upcoming baby.

Milk powder, diapers, quilts, cribs, etc.

Because Qishu's due date is between December and January, it will be too late to prepare by then, so they have to prepare everything in advance.

Naoki started to rush back after finishing everything. As soon as he got into the driver's seat, he heard the Rotom cell phone in his pocket ring.

Zhi Shu took it out and saw that it was actually a call from Ye Ci. He pressed the call and Ye Ci's face appeared on the opposite side of the screen.

"Happy New Year! Naoki!" Yeci greeted him with a smile.

Naoki raised his eyebrows: "It seems like it's not the New Year yet, right?"

"Blessings in advance. I'm afraid that the Padia Alliance will be very busy by then and won't have time. You know, the more things get to this time, the more things will happen." Yeci sighed helplessly.

Naoki: "Thank you for your hard work!"

"By the way, counting the time, your and Qishu's child should be born soon, right?" Yeci asked.

Hearing this, Naoki was a little surprised. How could Yeci remember it so clearly?

"The reward I promised you before is ready! But I see that you don't lack anything, so I plan to keep it for your child and use it as a talisman."

amulet? These words aroused Naoki's curiosity.

"What is it?"

However, Ye Ci said with a smile: "Keep it secret, you will know when the time comes!"

Naoki: "..." Mysterious.

Yeci seemed to be very busy, because Naoki saw Xin Li hurried over and handed her a stack of documents.

Yeci turned around and said a few words to Xin Li, and then said to Naoki:

"Let's just say this first. Remember to tell me as soon as possible when your baby is born! I will definitely rush over to visit you immediately."
