Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Wild Picking Midterm Examination (Two in One)

 Early the next morning, after finishing the work in the ranch, Zhishu was going to go for a walk in the back mountains to see if he could pick up some mountain products.

 Most of the Pokémon in the ranch have their own things to do.

Guluton is teaching the motorcycle lizard moves, the mounted goat is taking care of the crops, the three bees are collecting honey, Kuailong is going to the town to deliver milk, and the cloth dog is managing the chickens...

So when he went out this time, Zhi Shu specially asked Bada Huo, who was familiar with the back mountain, to accompany him.

Before setting off, he told the Motorized Lizard: "When I go out, remember to study hard with Gulton. Did you learn the Dragon Wave last time?"

Motor Lizard nodded, then ran over and hugged Naoki affectionately.

Since what happened yesterday, it discovered that Naoki would not be angry or scold him, so it gradually became bolder.

Seeing this, Zhi Shu felt helpless.

 He touched the Motorized Lizard's head and said, "Now that you have learned the Dragon Wave, you can learn the next move."

As he said that, Zhishu turned to look at Gulton. Seeing his face full of envy, he also stepped forward and hugged him.

 So Luton was satisfied.

Zhi Shu did not forget to add: "One more thing, that is, don't teach the Motorized Lizard how to use the Dragon Star Group for the time being."

 “Ah gah?”

Zhi Shu looked at it, then looked at the Motorized Lizard, and explained: "Because the power and coverage of that move are too great, the pasture will be destroyed if you are not careful."

 Hearing this, the two Pokémon expressed their understanding.

Seeing this, Naoki smiled and said, "Then I'll leave first!"

As he said that, he put a vine whip basket on his back, which contained some food for abducting Pokémon, and said to Bad Butterfly beside him: "Let's go!"

 It is summer, and the trees in the back mountains are growing taller and deeper.

Dense dark green trees blocked the sun in the sky, casting dappled light and shadow on the ground. The noisy chirping of insects came from a distance, occasionally accompanied by a loud chirping of cicadas.

These things all prove that this is a bustling mountain forest.

As soon as he stepped in, Naoki saw many familiar Pokémon.

 Common green caterpillars, beaded spiders hanging upside down on trees, and bean crickets hiding in the grass.

Zhi Shu is not very interested in them. In addition, these insect Pokémon are small in size and will not actively attack humans.

 There are also many treasures hidden in the mountains and forests in summer.

Not far away, Zhishu found a bunch of wild **** in a patch of grass.

Zhi Shu knew a lot about this wild product, but not much. He only knew that it could be used to make soup.

“I'll go back to town and buy a casserole to make soup.”

Thinking about it, Naoki uprooted the bunch of wild **** and put it into a basket on his back.

Bada Huo on the side looked at this scene curiously: "Huh?"

Zhi Shu explained to it the function of this wild product, and then asked with a smile: "Bada Butterfly, do you know where else there are edible things growing nearby?"

 Ba Dahuo blinked his eyes, thought about it carefully, and then nodded repeatedly: "咒咿!"

ah? Do you really know?

 Bada Huo led the way, and Zhishu quickly followed.

After passing through a dense bush, they came to a big tree.

As expected, there were many fruits with green skin hanging on the big tree that looked very green.

 Bada Huo gently picked one off and put it into Naoki's hand.

 At first, Naoki didn't see it, but soon he realized what it was.

 Hands of almonds that are not yet ripe!

“Er~” Bad Butterfly said, some Pokémon will come here to eat this when they can't find food.

Zhishu didn't understand, but he nodded and shook his head: “No, you can't eat this yet, it's not mature yet.”

 “Eh?”

 Zhi Shu thought for a while: "It will probably take a month or two to grow! This thing is also delicious. The almond inside has a crisp texture and is a very nutritious fruit."

 Bada Huo has already started to drool.

Zhi Shu smiled and said, "I'll bring you here later when you're mature."

 Badahu nodded repeatedly.

 Zhishu asked again: "Besides these, what else did you eat when you lived in the wild?"

 Bada Huo thought about it carefully.

When it was still a green caterpillar, most of the food it ate were leaves on trees. Occasionally, if you were lucky, you could pick up a tree fruit.

Most of the time, they hide in dense trees and grass to avoid predators such as bird Pokémon.

Although there are few opportunities, they have seen the eating habits of many other Pokémon.

 Bada Huo sniffed the air, and then continued to move forward in the mountain forest with Zhishu.

 After a while, they arrived at the foot of a towering old tree.

Zhi Shu looked through the tree trunk and saw a nest of wild three bees in front.

Three bees are constantly flying out of the nest to collect honey, while their leader, the queen bee, is patrolling around, guarding the honey that the three bees have worked hard to brew.

"Wild honey..." Naoki was a little surprised. He asked in a low voice, "Have you come here to steal honey before?"

 Ba Dahuo shook his head and also whispered: "咒咿!"

It doesn't dare to come over!

These three bees are fierce, and the queen bee is also very scary. They are not at all as friendly as the three bees in the pasture.

However, there will be other Pokémon coming, such as Ring Bear and Baby Bear, and Gentleman Moth will also come to steal honey at night when Three Bees are sleeping.

“Forget it, there is honey in the pasture, so we won't disturb these three bees.” Zhi Shu said.

Bad Butterfly had no objection. One person and one Pokémon came quietly, then left quietly, and continued to search for useful mountain goods in this place.

 At the same time, Table City.

 As the largest city in the Padia region, the famous Padia College is located here.

Different from what Naoki thought, Orange College is just a branch of Padia College, which together with Grape College form Padia College.

 The two colleges have different names, different uniforms, and different teaching methods.

 People who come to study here can choose their favorite college according to their preferences.

Today is the midterm exam day at Padia College.

In addition to the basic written examination, Padia Academy also specially held a Pokémon battle competition between Orange Academy and Grape Academy.

 The final winning student will not only receive an A rating in the grade column, but also receive a treasure hunting scholarship from the college.

 That was a big bonus, and because of this, it attracted many students to sign up for the competition.

  At the open-air battle field in the center of the table, an intense Pokémon battle was going on.

Students wearing Orange Academy uniforms and Grape Academy uniforms surrounded the battlefield.

 While they were shouting enthusiastically, they were chatting with their companions about the two trainers in this battle.

"Hey, Messenger Bird vs. Scorching Crocodile, guess who will win this battle!" "Of course it's Scorching Crocodile! The fire attribute can restrain the ice attribute Messenger Bird!"

 “Besides, the trainer of that messenger bird is very famous in our Orange Academy!”

 “Oh? Tell me quickly, what's going on?!”

"His name is Carter. It is said that he is a young master who comes from a big family in Bottle City. He has been pampered since he was a child and does not know how to train Pokémon. His messenger bird is notoriously weak. Even the ordinary New Leaf Meow can defeat him even if he reverses his attributes."

“I heard that not long ago, the young master made up his mind to strive for success and took Messenger Bird to do push-ups and runs on the playground every day. As a result, he was so tired that he stopped eating within a week, which caused quite a joke.”

On the battlefield, Carter listened to others' comments about him with a red face.

 But soon, what happened two days ago came to his mind.

In that pasture, with the three goats whose strength was comparable to that of the King of Heaven, his messenger bird gained a lot of experience, and now it has been completely transformed! He even learned more powerful moves.

 So, they will definitely not lose!

He seemed to sense the trainer's mood, and responded loudly to the messenger bird on the battlefield.

 “Bibi!”

At this time, the referee waved the flag in his hand and announced: "The battle begins!"

 “Messenger bird, pray for rain!”

 Carter immediately issued the order.

 Pray for Rain This move can reduce the power of fire-type Pokémon's moves, and can bring good results when facing Scorching Crocodile.

 The trainer on the opposite side did not immediately give the order, but looked up at the scene together with the Scorching Crocodile.

“Pray for rain? I'll just give you a move, otherwise someone will say later that I defeated you by relying on attribute restraint.”

 “No need!” Carter was angry at being looked down upon by the other party. At this time, it started to rain in the sky.

The trainer of Scorching Crocodile finally started to get serious: "Use spark attack!"

 After the order was given, the Scorching Crocodile ran two steps forward, and a string of hot sparks erupted from its mouth, heading towards the messenger bird in mid-air.

"Escape and use the shadow clone!" Carter responded quickly.

The messenger bird flapped its wings and leaned down in the rain. The string of sparks passed by it. Then, the messenger bird moved, and several clones appeared in the rain.

 “Shadow clone? When did he learn it?!” The people around him were stunned. This move is difficult to understand!

 Carter's sharp ears captured people's voices keenly. An excited smile appeared on his face, and he thought to himself: Of course it's thanks to Mr. Naoki!

 In the Green Grass Trial, the crazy and constant attacks of the mount goat forced out the potential in the messenger bird's body, allowing it to realize the shadow clone in order to avoid the attacks.

 And, that's not all!

Thinking of this, Carter said loudly: "Use that move!"

The trainer of Scorching Crocodile also gave instructions: "Don't think that I can't break the shadow clone, Scorching Crocodile, use hot wind!"

On the field, two Pokémon moved at the same time.

The Scorching Crocodile took a heavy step forward. Fire came out of its throat and turned into a hot wind, sweeping towards the messenger bird.

The messenger bird was not in a hurry. It flew forward first and then rushed up into the hot wind.

 “What is it doing?! Is it dying?!”

 The onlookers were shocked.

But just at the moment when the messenger bird was about to be swallowed up by the hot wind, its body suddenly turned around in an exaggerated gesture, and then shot straight into the sky.

While the messenger bird played with the hot wind, white light emerged from its wings and turned into a wing blade. It quickly rushed forward and cut off the scalding crocodile.

 The figure of the scalding crocodile retreated backwards.

Everyone held their breath and looked at this scene in disbelief.

 Soon, someone recognized the name of the move.

 “It's Yan Hui!”

Carter felt refreshed in his heart. He pointed at the scalding crocodile and said loudly:

"Compared with Mr. Naoki, you are still far behind! Messenger bird, use throw!"

 The young man opposite finally panicked, and he quickly said: "Scorching crocodile, avoid it!"

 But it was too late.

The messenger bird has arrived behind the scalded crocodile. It hugged the scalded crocodile tightly with its wings, and then threw it into the sky with all its strength.

"oh!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise and looked into the air following the scalding crocodile.

The messenger bird followed closely behind and came to the scalding crocodile at a faster speed.

 “Now, use Split Tile!”

 “Bibi!”

The messenger bird raised its wings high, swung down its sword fiercely, and directly knocked down the scalding crocodile, causing it to fall heavily to the ground.

 Everything has settled.

The Scalding Crocodile lay in the big pit, his eyes turning into mosquito coils, and he had lost his ability to fight.

 The referee stepped forward to check and then announced:

"The Scorching Crocodile has lost the ability to fight! This battle was won by Carter, the first-year freshman at Orange Academy!"

 “How, how is it possible?!”

“Carter and his messenger bird actually won!”

“And he still defeated the Scorching Crocodile despite his attributes!”

 “Isn't it possible that I'm dazzled?!”

"how did you do it?"

 People gathered around Carter, shocked by his growth.

 Carter was quite proud to enjoy the attention of everyone. He snorted in his heart and wanted you to say that I am a useless young master!

He didn't want to tell these annoying guys how he and the messenger bird grew up.

But then, Carter's mind thought of the grass trial at Zhishu Ranch, and of the three terrifyingly powerful mountain goats that could instantly kill his messenger bird.

His eyes rolled, and an evil thought came into his mind. With the thought that he could not let himself suffer alone, Carter cleared his throat and pretended to be profound:

“It all starts with getting lost.”

 Then, he raised his head, glanced around the crowd, and asked, "Have you ever heard of the Trial of Green Grass?"

"Trial of green grass?" People shook their heads: "What is that? Tell us quickly!"

 Carter's mouth corners rose, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face:

“That was a trial that could help Pokémon practice, and the reason why Messenger Bird and I were able to win was entirely because we participated in that trial.”

As he said that, he paused and asked, "Do you know how long it took us?"

People's curiosity was aroused by him, and they followed his words and asked: "How long?"

Carter held out a finger: "One and a half days! In just one and a half days, Messenger Bird and I have undergone a completely different transformation!"

"One and a half days?" Everyone was shocked: "How is it possible? Even the top trainers and breeders may not be able to change a Pokémon so much in such a short period of time, right?"

"That's because the founder of Green Grass Trial is not an ordinary person." Carter deliberately let it slip: "If you want to know, you can go and see for yourself! The address is at Zhishu Ranch near Zhiqin Town .”

As he spoke, Carter prayed silently in his heart:

Mr. Naoki, riding a goat, must teach these hateful guys a lesson. You must not let me suffer alone!

There are still more in the early morning
