Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 628 Winter

That afternoon, Naoki and Qishu started to pack their luggage.

Qishu is full of longing for the Alola region, which is full of southern style: "Wow, I have never been to the Alola region!"

While packing up Xiaoshu's clothes and Pokémon's toys, she said excitedly: "The golden beach, the beautiful sea, and the strange tree is coming!"

Zhi Shu laughed and said: "As for how novel it is? Aren't you also able to see the beach and the sea in Naoguang City?"

"It feels different!" Qishu's eyes lit up: "I heard that Alola is an area made up of several islands. You can see many local Pokémon everywhere on the beach!"

"Love~"

My sister loves to take care of her, and she also has a look of longing on her face.

Having said that, he and his brother have never seen the sea since they were born!

Although there is also the sea here in Zhiqin Town, it can only be called a small beach. No matter in terms of scale or anything else, it is far inferior to those special seasides.

During the days when he was running the Pokémon Tavern, he often listened to the Pokémon guests chatting about the beauty and magnificence of the sea.

To this end, sister Ai Guansi also secretly used Rotom's mobile phone to help search for videos related to the sea.

And now, they finally have a chance to see it with their own eyes!

"Hehe, let's see? My sister is looking forward to it as much as I am!" Qishu said with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Naoki also had a smile on his face. He could make the Pokémon happy. Sure enough, his decision was correct.

The other Pokémon in the ranch are also looking forward to this trip.

Especially the Motorized Lizard. After hearing that the temperature there is very warm and that Pokémon can run among the flowers even in the cold winter, it has been fantasizing about it in the Alola region since last night. Lived.

The second happiest thing is the goats.

In the Padia region, vegetation on the ground dries up in the winter, only to grow again in the spring.

In the Alola region, fertile and fresh grass grows all year round, so there is no need to worry about not being able to eat fresh grass.

Not to mention Braided Sheep, Big Milk Pot, Bad Butterfly, Three Bees, and Kodak Duck.

The only one who was a little unhappy was the Snowstorm Horse.

When Naoki was feeding it, he heard the horse snort a few times pretending to be dissatisfied.

As an ice-type Pokémon, it finally waited until winter to return to its own land of ice and snow, but Naoki wanted to take it to a place without ice and snow.

This made Snowstorm Horse very angry.

"Ice hiss!"

Naoki: "..."

"Don't want to go to the Alola area?" Naoki couldn't help but ask.

Snowstorm Horse snorted again, indicating that he was right.

"It's not impossible." Naoki said: "But in that case, you will be the only Pokémon left in the ranch!"

At that time, even the tomb dogs, lava bugs, and Kirby beasts will have to be moved there with them.

As for the hens, they were sent to the chicken hut on the World Tree by Naoki and handed over to Babu's parents to help take care of them.

"Ice hiss!" Snowstorm couldn't wait to hear it. It thought that this would make it cleaner, and it would be the only Pokémon left in the pasture.

Snowstorm Horse is the "king" who rules the entire ranch.

"Okay then." Naoki thought for a while, and finally respected Snowstorm Horse's idea: "In that case, I just have one more thing to ask you."

Snowstorm Horse looked at him: "Bingnear?"

Naoki: "If we are not here, you will have to take care of the ranch. If wild Pokémon in need of help break in, you can share the food in the warehouse with them. If a Pokémon comes to destroy the ranch, facilities or stealing things, I also need your help to stop them.”

"Ice hiss!" No problem!

Xue Baima agreed on the spot.

As the king of the pasture, it will certainly guard its territory.

Naoki: "..."

In this way, Naoki finalized the candidate to go to the Alola region.

Everyone in the ranch went together except Snowstorm Horse!

All day today, Naoki and the Pokémon packed their belongings in the ranch.

The next day, Naoki began to deal with the matters left over from this year in the Padia area.

For example, Blueberry Academy’s winter vacation issue.

The school in the Pokémon world is the same as in his previous life, with various holidays, including summer and winter vacations.

Today is the last class that Naoki teaches the children at Blueberry Academy. After the class is over, the students at the academy also usher in the winter vacation.

Early in the morning, Naoki went to Blueberry Academy.

In the last class, Naoki did not teach the children any more lessons, but talked with them about their future dreams.

In the classroom, Naoki stood on the podium, looking at the young and bright faces below, and said with a smile:

"Today is the last lesson I teach everyone—"

All the students' eyes widened immediately, and then their faces showed reluctance.

"ah?"

"Of course, only this year." Naoki added.

Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"For this class, we won't have class. I plan to talk about dreams with you. I know that everyone here is a trainer, but life in the academy is not everything in your life. I want to ask you, Do you have any dreams for the future?" Naoki asked with a smile.

dream…

The students in the seats were stunned.

But soon, one student raised his hand excitedly.

"Kazumi-san, please speak!" Naoki motioned the girl to stand up.

Hemi's eyes were fiery: "I want to become the most powerful Pokémon trainer in the world!"

"It's a very good dream!" Naoki nodded: "But in that case, you must first select a region to collect eight gym badges, participate in the alliance competition and win the championship, and then challenge the Four Heavenly Kings, defeat the local champion, and participate in the World Championships and It’s been a long journey for the Eighth Master to win the championship!”

"I will work hard!" Hemei was full of fighting spirit.

Someone started, and others rushed to raise their hands and tell the class about their dreams.

Some people want to be the most powerful trainer in the world, some want to be a breeder, and some want to be a coordinated trainer like Mikri and participate in the gorgeous competition.

There are even people who want to become a rancher like him, run a ranch with Pokémon, and live a peaceful life there together.

Looking at the faces full of expectations for the future, Naoki nodded gently: "Everyone, let's work hard together!"

At noon, Zhi Shu rode Gu Ledun back to the ranch.

Things at Blueberry Academy are over, and now it's Kuailong Express's turn to take a vacation.

When the last working dragon flew back from outside, Zhi Shu put a sign on the shop that was temporarily closed, and then said to a large group of dragons resting in the pasture:

"Everyone, this is the end of the year. The weather will cool down later, it will snow outside, the river will freeze, and it will become very cold."

"So before next spring comes, let's all have a good rest on Dragon Island!"

The temperature inside the World Tree is constant, especially the layer where Kuailong Island is located. Even in the coldest season, it is always warm as spring.

For working people, it is the best place to spend the winter.

The migrant workers looked at Naoki eagerly. Some are happy, some are looking forward to it, and some are sad.

Naoki: "..."

Those fast dragons must be sad because they can't work, right?

Zhi Shu's eyelids twitched. He asked the dragons to wait here for a moment, then turned around and took out the Baofen+Energy Cube combo set that he had prepared early.

"Ouch!"

The moment Naoki came out, the eyes of all the migrant workers suddenly lit up.

"I knew you were waiting for this." Naoki couldn't help laughing and said: "I stayed up late these days to make this for you! It took several days to complete, and each bag was filled with energy cubes and poffins, which is enough for you. Been eating it for a long time.”

These bags are space backpacks with very large storage space and can hold many items. Naoki made some by himself and ordered a large number of Baofen from the shopping app.

These are the "year-end bonuses" he specially prepared for the fast dragons. Each fast dragon can receive a space backpack.

Sure enough, just as he expected, the dragons were all very happy when they saw these energy cubes.

Some outgoing Kuailongs even ran over and hugged him.

Zhi Shu was surrounded by a group of Kuailongs and almost couldn't breathe. He said quickly: "Okay, okay, you have worked hard for so long. Let's go back to Kuailong Island to spend the winter with these delicious food!"

"Ouch~"

The fast dragons then let go of their hands, stood on the grass and waved goodbye to Zhi Shu, and then turned around and flew towards the World Tree.

For them, being able to work in Zhishu Ranch is simply the happiest thing in the world.

You only need to fly a few times a day to get a large bag of energy cubes. More importantly, Zhi Shu often gives them holidays. So many fast dragons work alternately. After careful calculation, each fast dragon only has a few working hours per day. hours.

Not to mention that some fast dragons were lazy occasionally, and Zhi Shu never blamed them.

Sometimes the dragons will encounter Pokémon from other courier companies on the road.

For example, long-winged gulls, large-billed gulls, and bibills will also gather together to chat.

Those Pokémon who had to work long hours every day and even deliver goods in winter expressed their envy when they heard about the treatment of the dragons.

Some large-billed gulls even asked about the location of their Zhishu Ranch, and seemed to be planning to come here to apply for jobs.

It's just that they haven't reached the pasture yet, and they don't know if they are lost or what.

After all, they don't have Rotom phones, so it's possible to get lost in the vast sea.

Not only Kuailongs, but also netizens from various regions have a lot to say about the business hours of Shujia store.

However, their feelings are completely opposite to those of Kuailong.

They can accept that the store opens at eight in the morning and closes at five in the afternoon, but why does the entire store have to close for three months every winter?

Netizens were trembling with anger at the thought of not being able to buy fresh milk and vegetables from the Zhishu Ranch store for three months.

This is especially true for some netizens who want to see cute dragons every day, because seeing such cute Pokémon every day will make people feel better.

But now, Kuailong Express has been closed for three months!

In order to be able to buy things from Zhishu Ranch and to see the cute dragons every day, netizens have published petitions on the Internet.

They appealed to Shu's Family not to close for so long, and it would be best to open every day!

There were even some supporters who came to Qishu’s live broadcast room, wanting her to persuade Naoshu.

When Naoki learned about this, it was already night.

He thought for a moment, then posted an announcement in the ranch shop.

[Shop owner: Thank you very much for your support from netizens. It’s just that the dragons also have their own lives. In such a cold season in winter, they have to risk delivering goods in a snowstorm. How pitiful! You know, the ice attribute also restrains Kuailong. I feel heartbroken when I think of Kuailong delivering goods despite the severe cold. Therefore, in order to allow Kuailong deliverymen to get a good rest, our store will be closed in winter. 】

Seeing this, some netizens who like Pokémon like Kuailong immediately sympathized with Kuailong and expressed their understanding of Naoki's behavior.

But this announcement isn’t over yet.

Everyone looked down.

[However, we have good news to announce. Starting from next spring, our store will officially open three major routes: Carlos, Alola, and Galar. Please look forward to it! 】

As soon as these words came out, netizens in these three regions immediately cheered.

In the end, only netizens from the Kanto and Johto areas were left saying that Naoki Ranch discriminated against them!

So many regions have opened air routes, why not only their air routes!

In this regard, before Naoki said anything, netizens in other regions couldn't sit still.

[Don’t you know why it’s not unlocked? 】

[I'm from the Kalos area, and I recently saw two people with a meow calling themselves Team Rocket, snatching a boy's Pikachu! It's really scary. We are all so aboveboard. I can't imagine what it would be like in your Kanto area. 】

Everyone in Guandu: "..."

Sakaki: "..."

If this continues, these people may not get together to launch a petition asking the Kanto Alliance to thoroughly investigate Team Rocket.

But the Rockets are currently in the critical stage of transforming into a large public company...

Since the failure of the Tempest Plan, he has been acting more and more low-key. If he continues like this, he will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of those guys, and then send nasty investigators to investigate.

After thinking for a moment, Sakaki gave the order to Shintori.

"Go ahead and ask those people to restrain themselves. There is no need to tame some weak Pokémon. In addition, let them capture rare and powerful Pokémon from the wild as much as possible, and stop robbing them from trainers."

Real bird: "Yes!"

*

Early the next morning, after finishing all the chores in the ranch, Naoki hugged Xiaoshu and the family prepared to leave for the Alola region.

Before leaving, Naoki found the Snowstorm Horse and said to it:

"Snowstorm Horse, I will ask you to take care of the ranch for a while! We will be back in about three months."

Snowstorm snorted excitedly, thinking that he would be the only Pokémon left in the pasture and that he could become the unique king of horses here. Snowstorm was very happy.

"Ice hiss!"

"I have already planted ice radishes in the fields. In the warehouse, I also asked the goats to ripen a large amount of ice radishes in advance yesterday. It is enough for you to eat during this period. If it is not enough, remember to use the Rotom mobile phone to contact us. Contact me and I will come over and replant it for you." Zhi Shu said.

"Ice hiss!" Snowstorm Horse still nodded.

Seeing this scene, Naoki smiled and turned around and left the ranch, asking Alola to spend the winter.

Except for Gullton, all the other Pokémon in the ranch have been put into the elf balls. There are so many Pokémon that it takes a full space to fit in the backpack.

This time when he goes out, Naoki doesn't plan to ride Guluton and set off from the reverse world.

That speed is too fast and may be too much for the small tree to bear.

To be on the safe side, their family of three finally chose to take a more comfortable and faster flight.

Zhi Shu had booked several first-class air tickets a few days in advance. There was a box there, which was enough for the family of three to rest with their mother.

The distance between the Padia region and the Alola region is not too far. If you take a plane, you can reach it in about three hours.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a family of three boarded the plane with Gu Lerton.

Qishu looked through the porthole at the earth farther and farther below. Gradually, the earth was left behind, replaced by a sparkling blue ocean.

There was a clear blue sky above, and a few chirping long-winged gulls flapped their wings and were overtaken by the aircraft.

Qishu looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window excitedly and cheered:

"Alora, here we come!"
