Pokémon League Chronicles/Farming, Pokémon Trainer!

Most of the villagers in Zhuqing Village are very polite. After Huo Xia closed the door, they would knock on the door twice before entering.To be as unceremonious as this without saying hello, and to follow up with your own house, there are only two people in the whole Zhuqing Village except Huo Xia.

One of them is Xiaozhao.

"Hiss, the weather is getting colder and colder. I knew I should have brought more clothes when I went to investigate a few days ago... Huo Xia, pour me a cup of hot tea, I'm dying of cold."

Xiaozhao rubbed his hands and breathed out, carrying a big bag on his back, his clothes were covered with mud, he looked like he had just returned from the field.

"All right, all right, close the door, and don't let the cold air blow in." Huo Xia smiled helplessly, and took out a cup with the label "Small Photo" from the grocery cabinet: "Didn't your investigation this time mean that you are good?" How many days? Why did you come back this morning? And you didn’t even put your things away and ran to me?”

"The situation is going better than expected. I finished all the tasks in the plan yesterday. I thought I could come back early, so I set off today before dawn." Xiao Zhao stomped her feet on the spot and kept rubbing her hands , showing an awkward yet polite smile: "As a result, when I returned to the village, I realized that I didn't bring the key to the dormitory. I don't know where to go."

Xiaozhao took the teacup, and just after thanking him, he couldn't wait to pour it into his mouth, and then let out a scream of "ah, hot, hot", and almost let go of the cup and knocked it over.

Huo Xia shook her head, took the cup, and poured some cold water into it.

After getting along for more than half a year, she has roughly figured out Xiaozhao's habits.

This girl has outstanding ability, cute appearance, understanding, and smart enough mind. In the eyes of the villagers of Zhuqing Village, she is a reliable member of the investigation team of the Galaxy team, and in the eyes of the younger generation of the investigation team, she is a senior worthy of admiration and learning.

But in front of her acquaintances, she occasionally—or often—exposes her incomprehensible side, reckless and nervous, as naive as those big-toothed raccoons in the Zhuqing Village farm who gnaw on stones all day long. Some of them fight together, and they are completely different from her shrewd and capable appearance when she is working.

Seeing Xiaozhao hiding her scalded tongue, her cheeks curled up to absorb water bit by bit, Huo Xia couldn't help but sigh: "I was thinking about whether to open later in the future, but I didn't expect that one morning You can run into two people who have nowhere to go, it seems that it is better not to change for the time being."

Chapter 19 Mind

"Two?" Xiao Zhao, who was sipping water, was taken aback for a moment.

She looked back, only to notice that Zhubei was holding a teacup and was huddled aside, staring blankly at the white mist emerging from the water cup.

One of them was very nervous, the other was full of thoughts, yet they didn't find each other in the first place.

"Ah, Pearl...the leader!"

Xiaozhao was taken aback, apparently he did not expect the leader of Team Pearl to appear here.

And Zhubei just slightly raised her eyelids when she heard the sound, and nodded: "Hi, Xiaozhao."

"Why is the pearl leader here?" Xiaozhao was a little confused.

Although the other party is only a young girl younger than her, but in terms of identity, she is at least the leader of the team, and has an equal relationship with Ma Jiamu, and can be regarded as an important person in the entire Xicui land. How could it suddenly happen? appear here?

"I... have some things I want to entrust... I want to discuss with Team Galaxy. The headquarters of Team Galaxy is not open yet, so I will settle here first." Zhubei said intermittently, and then returned to the same posture as before, Holding a glass of water in a daze.

Xiaozhao is just naive, not stupid, and saw that Zhubei didn't want to say too much, so he didn't ask too much, just nodded "Oh, so that's how it is", and turned to look at Huo Xia: "So , Huo Xia, I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"

Huo Xia glared: "Your way of changing the subject is too...wrong, are you hungry? It's only early in the morning, and the Yuman Pavilion hasn't even opened yet!"

"I can't help it. I got up at four or five o'clock today and walked a long way. Isn't it normal to be hungry?"

"Don't your investigation team always bring dry food when they go out? Your original plan this time is to go out for seven days, so the dry food must be enough?!"

Xiaozhao sighed: "Dry food is available... But this kind of food is not delicious at all? It's hard and dry, like turning the head of the construction team. Since they are all back in the village, they must want to eat more Something warmer and better tasting."

Huo Xia helped his forehead: "You guy who spends two or three days in the wilderness why is he so particular about this kind of place... I don't have any good things, I still have some cold food from yesterday. Just wait for a while, I'll go and give it to you." Get some tea and rice."

"Okay! I knew you would have something to eat here, Huoxia!" Xiaozhao smiled, and sat on the chair next to Zhubei, looking obediently waiting.

What a pristine, innocent smile—if she wasn't waiting to be fed herself.

Huo Xia sighed, and looked at Zhu Bei: "What about you, Zhu Bei? Do you need something to eat? It looks like you have eaten breakfast."

"Ah?" Zhubei was taken aback for a moment, obviously not thinking that the other party would actually come to ask herself, and subconsciously waved her hand: "No, no need, I..."

Before he finished speaking, a "cuckoo" sound came from Zhubei's belly.

Zhu Bei was silent for a while.

"Okay, don't talk about it. There is some bread on the grocery cabinet, you can eat some to fill your stomach first." Huo Xia waved his hand, picked up the teapot and walked towards the back door of the barbershop: "Two servings of tea and rice, wait a minute. "

She is not a member of the Galaxy team, so naturally she will not live in the Galaxy team dormitory.There is a small room behind this barber shop, which was originally used by the barber shop grandmother to store sundries.After Huo Xia took over, she tidied it up and used it as her bedroom and kitchen.

Xiao Zhao stretched out his hand on the grocery cabinet, found a bunch of paper bags, and happily made it back.

She opened the paper bag, tore off a ball of bread inside, and handed it to Zhubei: "Here, Chief Zhubei."

Zhubei took it subconsciously: "This is... what? Steamed buns? The surface seems to be a little sticky..."

"This is bread, Galar bread. In the entire celebration village, only Huoxia has it."

Xiaozhao also tore off a small piece, stuffed it into his mouth, and then rewrapped the rest and put it back in place.

While chewing the bread, she explained to Zhubei: "Huoxia, she often asks friends from the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce to bring some goods, including all kinds of small items and snacks.

According to her, what is this called... fashionable?The other girls in the village seemed to be quite interested in this too, but unfortunately I couldn't figure it out, all I knew was that the bread was quite sweet.

But not every dim sum is so delicious, right?I remember last time Huoxia bought some long loaves of Carlos bread. I was looking forward to it, but I didn’t expect that it was long, thick, cold and hard, and it was harder to eat than the dry food developed by the production team. Like food.Fortunately, Mingyao's Kirby doesn't pick anything to eat, so he got rid of the stick, otherwise it's so long that you don't know where to put it, and it's not appropriate to just throw it away..."

Zhubei listened quietly, then suddenly said: "It sounds like you are very familiar with that King Kong team leader?"

"Did you say Huoxia? It's okay, we are friends." Xiaozhao touched her head and said a little embarrassedly: "When she first moved to Zhuqing Village, her foot was injured and she couldn't move, so I often went to Look at her. After she took over the barber shop, I often came to say hello to her, and I gradually got used to it. I like to run here when I have nothing to do. It has become a habit.

It's not just me, Mingyao is also the same, right?Although he came here less recently, he always liked to come here for a while when he had nothing to do. Huo Xia also complained that the two of us affected her business-although I think she should be quite happy. "

"Does Mingyao come here often?" Zhubei pricked up her ears and sat upright slightly.

"That's right. It seems to be for exercising or something. Mingyao always gets up very early during this period, and every day after seven o'clock, he will appear in the Yuman Pavilion waiting for breakfast, which is earlier than Shiyue.

And after eating, he would come here to rest for a while, go back to sleep or something.I don't know what kind of exercise he is doing. Although he doesn't sweat much, he looks very tired. Sometimes there will be strange powder on his face. Is he really doing some serious exercise... "

Zhu Bei nodded thoughtfully.

Although a cooperative relationship has been reached, she has not had much contact with Mingyao in the past six months.She signed at the end of the plan written by Beishang, and after sending the flute-playing tutorial to Mingyao by the way, she has been hesitant about how to deal with the matter of the king of the island, and whether she should leave this matter to Mingyao. , and Mingyao himself said that he has been unexpectedly busy in the past six months, so he doesn't need Zhubei to help him with anything.

The cooperation between the two has stagnated like this.

No, no.

Zhubei took a deep breath and shook her head.

Didn't I come here?Isn't this already determined to ask Mingyao for help as a collaborator?

In any case, please ask Mingyao to help him, successfully create a new king of the island, and help his sister get out of the predicament.

Chapter 20 Big work is coming

"Okay, boy, let's call it a day. No, let's stop for a while."

"What? This is the end? What does it mean to stop for a while?"

Mingyao was lying on the ground panting heavily, but he couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at Shi Yue.

Although it is hard work, the continuous daily morning exercises in the past six months have gradually become his habit, and the feeling that his body and skills continue to become stronger is also somewhat addictive.

Why did you suddenly say you were going to stop for a while?

"Have you forgotten your job?" Shi Yue shrugged and began to pack up all kinds of equipment in the training ground: "After all, your first identity is still a member of the investigation team, so naturally the work of the investigation team should be given priority. .”

"The investigation team's work?" Mingyao was even more puzzled: "Didn't I do a good job in the investigation team's work during this period? The illustrations of the Obsidian Field and the Red Lotus Wetland have been successfully completed..."

"The work of the investigation team is not just to complete the Pokémon Illustrated Book. Don't forget, you also have the responsibility to complete various commissions—whether it is in the village or outside the village."

Mingyao blinked sharply: "You mean, there is a big job coming? Is it from Majiamu's boss or where?"

"There are jobs in Majiamu, and there are jobs for people outside the village. There are two jobs in total, both of which are worthy of attention." Shi Yue pointed to the ceiling above her head: "One of them is related to my clumsy apprentice. .”

Upon hearing the three words "apprentice", Mingyao immediately understood and nodded.

Shi Yue looked at the clock hanging on the wall: "Now the time... is almost the same, you go back to the dormitory to take a shower, and then go to the captain's room to report. The guest arrived in the village this morning, so don't let him Awaited."

Mingyao nodded, kicked off the wall, and turned over from the exit on the ceiling.

He didn't bother to ask Shi Yue how he knew the opponent's situation while staying in the underground training room.After more than half a year, he gradually changed from being shocked at Shi Yue's various wonderful methods to being surprised by them.It's just a matter of knowing the movements of an outsider, which is really not worth mentioning.

When Mingyao got out of the hole, he heard a series of ding-ding-dong-dong sounds behind him.

He sighed, and turned his head away: "Be careful, don't drop the bowl again. This is already the fifth bowl you have thrown with me, right? If you drop it again, that old stingy Shi Yue will definitely throw your original bowl away." All the small wages will be deducted.”

The tall and thin apprentice in an apron and hood bowed his body, and said bitterly, "I, I was taken aback by your sudden appearance...why did you come out so early today?"

"The plan has changed, I have to be busy today." Mingyao stood up and blocked the entrance of the cave: "Well, what's your name?"

The apprentice replied subconsciously: "I am..."

"No, no, it's not about your real name." Mingyao shook his head, and said with a half-smile: "Don't forget, you are working with a hidden identity in Zhuqing Village now, right? I gave you a name specially at that time What is it called?"

"... Wei Yimin." The apprentice shrank his neck: "You said at the time that if someone asked my name, I would say my name was Wei Yimin."

"That's right, that's right, Wei Yimin." Mingyao showed a satisfied smile: "Today, there may be some things that require your cooperation, please perform well."

"Need my cooperation?" The apprentice was stunned: "What is it?"

"I'm still in the stage of guessing, and I can't be sure. But..." Mingyao shrugged: "Maybe, you have a chance to go back this time? Go back to your beloved master—if you haven't forgotten to go back the way."

——Shadow Attack——

There are no water heaters or shower facilities in Zhuqing Village, so taking a bath is naturally not a convenient thing, and it is quite troublesome to take a good bath in this season when you will catch a cold if you are not careful.

So Mingyao just let the Blazing Roaring Tiger boil some water, simply wet the towel and wipe his body, then wash his hair, and clean up the sweat from his morning exercise, and he was done.

The most troublesome part of this process is washing hair.It was fine before, but since I grew my hair a little longer recently, washing my hair every time is quite troublesome, and every ten, twenty, or ten minutes is not counted, which makes Mingyao quite unaccustomed to it.

Mingyao is not the kind of person who would pay too much attention to things like hair.If it hadn't been for Huoxia's swearing, "I guarantee that this hairstyle is really suitable for you with the personality of a barber, so don't cut it", he would have taken the trouble to cut off his hair long ago, and replaced it with a refreshing and easy-to-move hairstyle. up.

Forget it, long hair also has the benefits of long hair.At least when winter is coming soon, long hair is better than short hair to keep you warm, right?and……

After Mingyao dried his hair, the Dittoman beside him promptly handed out a small hair tie with two small stones hanging on it.At this time, the sun will rise, and the warm sunlight will shine on the hair ring through the window, and the two stones will be crystal clear and glow faintly.

Mingyao skillfully tied up his hair with a hair tie, and at the same time as the hand movement ended, a burst of system prompts appeared:

[Equipment: Diamond Jade, the effect is in effect]

[Equipment: Pearl Jade, the effect is in effect]

Although he didn't know the reason, but after Mingyao had an idea and put the two stones on the hair tie, he unexpectedly discovered that the additional effects of the two stones actually worked.

Thanks to this bonus, even though the frequency of spawning monsters during this period was not high, the two Pokémon that hatched from the eggs grew smoothly, and they had initially possessed quite good combat effectiveness. Mukle the kitten blames the big-toothed raccoon and the crickets are as effortless as playing.

After putting on the uniform of the investigation team, and letting Ditto climb skillfully around his neck and turn it into a scarf, Mingyao tidied himself up and went to the headquarters of the Galaxy team.

It was early morning at this time, and there was a lot of traffic coming and going on the road, many people greeted Mingyao.

"Good morning, Mingyao team member, have you eaten yet?"

"Hi Mingyao! Are you free today? I thought of a very powerful move that will definitely surprise you!"

"Help, Mingyao team! Last night, an Ibrahimovic on the farm was suddenly covered with strange black mud, which couldn't be washed off! And there are strange patterns on the tail and ears... eh? It's evolution Is that so, Moon Eevee, what a magical Pokémon... eh? Who usually has the best relationship with it? Hahaha, it should be me, because I have always been taking care of it... Eh? You Tell me to take it and make it my partner Pokémon? Why?"

"Xiao Mingzi, Master Hand asked you to go find him. He said that the Magic Wall Doll seemed to have some disease, which made him almost fall down..."

"Brother Mingyao, the small fist stone I used to press the kimchi jar suddenly grew bigger, and it also grew legs, almost crushing my jar! What's going on?"

Mingyao greeted the villagers with ease, answered some questions from time to time, and walked slowly to the gate of the Galaxy team headquarters.

"Good morning, Yingzhuo." Mingyao waved his hand and greeted the guard.

"Good morning, team member Mingyao." The guard saluted Mingyao, and even the poisonous powder moth named Taro Prickly Tail behind him flapped its wings, as if smiling.

"Speaking of which, Mingyao, do you know? There's a big guy here today!" The guard touched his partner and chatted with Mingyao casually.

"Big man? Who?" Mingyao blinked.

"The leader of the Pearl team! That girl named Zhubei! She was waiting at the door early in the morning, even earlier than me!

Although I've never been in a relationship, and I don't know anything about a girl's heart or anything like that, but she looks like she's preoccupied, and she must be asking Team Galaxy for help with something important! "The doorman said solemnly.

Is that so, Zhubei?Is she the guest that Shi Yue mentioned?

That's right, the entrustment personally dispatched by the leader of Team Pearl is of course a noteworthy task.

Mingyao nodded, pushed open the door of Team Galaxy's headquarters, and went straight to the captain's room on the third floor.

The door of the captain's room was always open, and Mingyao saw Zhubei and Ma Jiamu before he entered.The two talked to each other, and the communication was not smooth, which gave Mingyao a feeling that "both of them have ulterior motives".

"Ah, he's here." Magamu glanced at the door, then turned around.

"Report, Boss Magamu." Mingyao bowed to him: "Do you have a job?"

"That's right, very important work." Ma Jiamu nodded slightly, and said straight to the point: "Let's go to the Ultramarine Coast, Mingyao."
