Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 149

 Chapter 149 He is real, I cried to death (5k)

By the time Zhi Shu finished his work in the pasture, it was already approaching noon.

I have to say that such a big watermelon in the pasture is really eye-catching.

Before making lunch, Naoki came to the field again and walked around the big watermelon, sometimes stopping to observe, sometimes reaching out to pat it.

[Giant Watermelon: A type of giant crop, a product that is influenced by the energy of the grass from the mount goat and combined with some mysterious power. ]

 Looking at the description of this watermelon, combined with what happened yesterday, the owner of "some mysterious power" is already obvious.

 After pondering for a moment, Naoki returned indoors and started making lunch.

Today's lunch is still fried steak and sandwiches, plus lucky pudding, honey lemonade, buns, and fruit. A lunch that can't be called a sumptuous meal is ready.

Although it is monotonous, it is the favorite of several Pokémon.

The thick-cut pork chops that are fried and dripping with oil are tender and juicy. The sandwich sandwiched with lettuce, tomatoes and meat patties is nutritionally balanced. Ordinary tree fruits can also provide a lot of nutrients to the Pokémon's body.

After dinner, I drank a glass of honey lemon water, sat in the shadow under the eaves and ate bread and fruit while enjoying the breeze. Even the arrogant Ice Eevee showed a happy expression on his face.

 A group of Pokémon such as Guluton, Motorized Lizard, Kuailong, Butubo, Ice Eevee, and Frosty Milk Fairy each took a glass of lemonade and sat in a row under the eaves from oldest to youngest.

Looking at their appearance, Naoki smiled and shook his head, then sat down at the desk and began to think about the guests he would invite tomorrow.

 First of all, Mayor Thomas, who takes great care of him, must be invited.

This old man has been helping him since he first came here. Not only that, he also gave him a motorcycle lizard to act as an assistant.

 The next thing was the people he knew in the town.

Keli who lives by the forest, the postman Alvin, the seed shop owner Eero and his family, the old man of Happy Ranch and his granddaughter Xiaomei, and Zach who comes to the ranch to receive goods every day.

 Finally, there are farmers on nearby farms.

For example, the Elif family in Elif Cherry Orchard, Thunder in Thunder Pasture, Little Green in Light Green Pasture, Mrs. Pollan in Poppy Farm...

Zhishu imitated the town's method of announcing festivals and wrote a letter to everyone, then called Kuailong and put part of it into its small red satchel.

“Ouch?” Kuailong looked puzzled as he watched Zhi Shu put the satchel around its neck.

　　Naoki: "Please send these letters to Mr. Erif in the Cherry Orchard of Erif, Madame Dantès and Mr. Hérault who live in the town."

 Sending a letter?

Kuailong nodded, accepted it happily, and then flew to the town with ease.

 Zhi Shu contacted Alvin on the phone.

 Because he had never been to other pastures except the Erif Cherry Orchard, and he didn't know the location, so he simply gave them all to Alvin and asked him to help deliver them there.

Ivan, who was working, rushed over immediately after receiving the call.

 Zhi Shu handed him the rest of the letter and asked, "Are you free tomorrow morning?"

"Tomorrow morning?" Alvin was a little surprised: "What's wrong? Do you want my help with anything?"

"No." Naoki shook his head: "I just want to invite you to the ranch to participate in an event. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I will hold a watermelon eating party here."

 “Watermelon? Where can I find watermelon?”

Hearing this, Ai Wen thought to himself that watermelons should have just been planted this season, right?

Although it can be grown in a greenhouse, it seems that Zhishu Ranch does not have a greenhouse yet.

Ivan turned around and looked around. The next second, he saw a super huge watermelon in the farmland.

ˆAiwen: “!!”

 He was shocked: "Is that the watermelon I know?"

Zhi Shu said funnyly: "How about you go and take a look?"

 As expected, Alvin went to see it.

 He ran to the farmland, walked around the big watermelon twice, reached out and touched it, and saw that the watermelon was still connected to the vine and had not been picked.

 What does this mean?

 This means that this big watermelon is not a model, it is real!

Ivan was extremely shocked. He turned to look at Naoki and exclaimed: "How did you grow it?"

 “You really want to know?” Naoki asked.

"Of course, tell me quickly!" Ivan paused, turned to look around, and whispered: "I promise not to tell anyone else!"

“Then come with me!” Naoki led him to the statue of King Lei Guan: “All of this is a gift from this Pokémon.”

Looking at the Pokémon with a particularly big head in the shrine, Alvin couldn't help but ask: "What Pokémon is that?"

 “King of Fertility, King Lei Guan.” Naoki briefly introduced the legend of King Lei Guan to Alvin.

Although half of it is due to the goat, as long as he feeds the grass cake to King Lei Guan in the future, King Lei Guan will be able to do it himself.

　　After all, it is also a grass-type Pokémon.

 In Ai Wen's shocked eyes, Naoki added:

“If you plant something at home, you can also believe in King Lei Guan, or follow my example and set up a statue to worship Him, and He will bless your crops for a good harvest.”

Evan swallowed and nodded: "I know." There are such powerful Pokémon in this world!

 “Where did you buy your statue?” Ivan asked quickly.

Decided! He also wants to buy one and keep it home!

His grandma particularly likes to plant things, and has planted many fruit trees and gardens in the yard.

"Uh... I made this myself." Naoki thought for a moment and then said, "Maybe you can buy it in Keli's store after a while."

 He ​​plans to go back and cooperate with Kelley to see if they can mass-produce the statues of King Lei Guan. He will provide the patterns, and Kelley will be responsible for making the wood carvings, polishing them, and selling them to nearby farmers.

Ivan nodded: "I'll go take a look when I turn around!"

 Because he still had work, he did not stay in the ranch for too long. After taking the letter from Naoki, Alvin turned and left.

 He had to deliver these letters before dark.

 After he left, Naoki contacted Mayor Thomas on the video phone and invited him to come here to participate in an event tomorrow.

Mayor Thomas readily agreed and said he would definitely be there.

 Seeing this, Naoki felt relieved.

 After everything was done, the time came to 4:40 pm.

 Looking at his pasture and the green grass.

Naoki thought to himself: "Then the only problem left is to arrange the venue."

There are not enough tables, chairs, and benches at home, and he won't be able to let everyone sit on the grass and chew watermelons. That would be too rude.

Zhi Shu felt worried that he would not be able to raise so many tables and chairs in a short period of time.

At this moment, the sound of a truck driving was suddenly heard outside the ranch.

Zhi Shu turned around and saw Keri driving a truck to the ranch.

 Following closely behind him was Alvin riding a motorcycle lizard.

 Kelly parked the truck in the pasture and directed her strange friends to move everything out of the truck.

Zhi Shu stepped forward and took a look, and was shocked to find that all those items were items used to decorate the event venue.

 Tables, chairs, benches, celebration balloons…

Zhi Shu was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "Is this?"

Evan walked up to him, put his arm around his shoulders, and looked at Klee with him, who was commanding the strange force to move things, and explained with a smile:

“Isn't this your first time hosting an event? Kerri and I thought you had just arrived here and had no experience and not enough tables, so we came together to help you set up the venue. How about it?”

 “It's really a big help!” Naoki was grateful.

Keli walked forward with a smile: "I have to pay for these!"

 Naoki: “…how much?”

“Five watermelons!” Keri stretched out her hand and counted the number of people on her fingers: “Two monsters each have one, two old builders have one each, and I have one.”

Zhi Shu immediately understood what she meant and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll make sure it's enough!"

　　Kelly: “Then come over and help prepare!”

So Naoki took Guluton and Motorized Lizard forward to carry the table and chairs.

Evan and his Motorized Lizard also stepped forward to help.

Bing Yibu, Frost Milk Fairy, Bu Tubo, and Bad Butterfly were blowing up balloons on the side.

 Keli directs all this.

 Everyone and the Pokémon worked together to decorate the venue, set up tables, chairs and benches, decorated the ranch with ribbons, and hung the blown balloons on the Zhishu Ranch sign.

 At five o'clock in the evening, Zach came over to receive the goods.

He looked at this scene and said in surprise: "Wow, it's really lively!"

Then he also saw the super big watermelon.

 Zach's reaction was different from that of Kelly and Evan. After a brief shock, he murmured:

“How much can such a big watermelon be sold for on the market?”

Ivan chuckled and said, "Uncle Zach, a family of three can't finish such a big watermelon!"

Zach was stunned for a moment and agreed: "That's right." He looked at Naoki and smiled heartily: "In that case, leave me a place tomorrow!"

 “Don't worry!” Naoki nodded.

 In the evening, Naoki invited Keri and Alvin to have dinner in the ranch.

 The three of them took a group of Pokémon and had a smoky barbecue under the stars.

 After having enough wine and food, the sky has completely darkened.

Ivan looked at the fireflies gathering by the river and couldn't help but sigh: "Nature is so beautiful!"

Zhi Shu helped Kuai Long rub his bulging belly and said, "You can also come to the countryside to run a ranch."

Ivan shook his head: "It's better to say goodbye. I don't have that many Pokémon to help me work together. I'm afraid I will be exhausted by then."

Naoki: “It's not that exaggerated, right?”

Hearing this, Alvin, who had been lying on the grass due to overeating, immediately straightened up as if he had remembered something.

“To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a ranch develop so fast. It's only been a few months? The place has completely changed.”

 Kelly on the side nodded in agreement: "Do you remember Thunder at Thunder Ranch?"

 “I know.” Zhi Shu had seen him.

　　Kelly: "His ranch is now similar to yours, but it took him almost two years to develop to this point, while it only took you less than four months!"

Zhi Shu thought for a while and guessed: "Maybe it's because I can catch Pokémon by myself, right?"

He caught the mount goat and brought the salt and stone treasure back from the wild. These not only helped him save a lot of money, but also provided him with a very considerable income.

"So!" Alvin lay down again: "Ordinary people don't have the help of powerful Pokémon like Gullton. It's still very time-consuming to run a ranch."

Zhishu understood. He looked at Gulton and reached out to touch its head.

 After a while, Keri said: "It's getting late, we should go back."

Zhi Shu stood up to see the two off. As the truck drove away, the pasture became quiet again.

After a busy day, Naoki felt a little tired, so he went to bed early to rest, preparing to be in the best condition for tomorrow's event.

 The next day.

Zhi Shu got up early. After he and a group of Pokémon had breakfast, the people who received the invitation yesterday also rushed to the ranch one after another.

 The first person to come over was Mayor Thomas.

 He specially wore a formal suit today. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to today's activities.

Zhi Shu welcomed the people in. Mayor Thomas rubbed his eyes in disbelief after seeing the big watermelon.

 “Oh God! I swear, this is the first time I have seen such a big watermelon in my life!”

 Zhi Shu said with a smile on the side: "You will get used to it slowly in the future."

 Then, he told Mayor Thomas about today's preparations and invited him to cut the big watermelon.

Mayor Thomas happily agreed.

 It was quite a while before the event started, and Naoki originally planned to ask Mayor Thomas to sit down and rest for a while.

 In addition to watermelon, he also prepared a lot of snacks and snacks.

 Lucky pudding, juice milk, honey bun, cream smoothie…

But he didn't expect to be rejected by Mayor Thomas.

 He was like an old man in his own family, helping Naoki welcome the people in the town.

With the arrival of Mayor Thomas, it was like turning on some kind of switch. People followed in groups and arrived at the ranch.

 The old man from Happy Ranch and his granddaughter Xiaomei, the seed shop owner Eero and his wife Abby.

Zhi Shu didn't see their daughter Belle, thinking she must be in the room fishing.

Followed by Thunder from the Thunder Pasture, Little Green from the Light Green Pasture, and the farmer from the nearby farm.

The three members of the Erif family in the Erif Cherry Orchard, Alvin who rides a motorcycle lizard, Kelly who has strange strength and is an experienced builder, and Zach who is all muscular and has a short haircut.

The last to arrive were Madame Dantès and her husband, with a kind face and gray hair.

Zhishu saw this kind old man walking up to him carrying a cloth bag.

Mrs. Dantès handed over the bag of biscuits with a smile on her face: "These are the biscuits I made this morning. Do you want to try them?"

　　"Sorry to trouble you." Naoki smiled and reached out to take it, accepting Mrs. Dantès's kindness.

This lovely old man always likes to make some snacks such as cookies and snacks and give them to Kuailong so that he can take them back to the ranch.

Seeing that everyone had almost arrived, Zhi Shu asked Kuailong and Gulton to work together to pick off the huge watermelon and carry it to the lawn here.

 “Ah gahis~”

 “Ouch~”

 The two Pokémon happily agreed. They flew to the farmland and moved the big watermelon over.

People's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the big watermelon, and they came forward to gather around the big watermelon, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

Mrs. Dantès covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Oh my God! This is incredible!"

Lei from Thunder Ranch was shocked: "What a big watermelon! How did you grow this?"

The old man from Happy Ranch held his granddaughter Xiaomei's hand and was speechless looking at the big watermelon.

Xiaomei's eyes were bright and her heart was filled with admiration: “Mr. Naoki is so awesome!”

Eero couldn't help but trembled: "Are these really the watermelon seeds sold in our store?"

 “It's absolutely true, Mr. Aero.” Naoki's voice came from the side.

Everyone turned to look at the young man who planted an incredibly large watermelon.

Lei: “How did you do it?”

Looking at the people with eyes full of curiosity and shock, at this moment, Naoki felt as if he had transformed into a missionary wearing a robe, holding a Bible in his hand, and saying to the people, "Believe in our Lord and you will have eternal life."

Although it is embarrassing, I still have to continue for the sake of those two horses.

Zhishu coughed lightly, and slowly said in the eyes of people:

 “All these are gifts from the Lord of Plenty.”

"King of Plenty?" As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately answered.

 Zhi Shu looked over and found that it was the little green lady in the light green pasture.

He nodded: "The legendary King of Plenty, King Lei Guan, he is the embodiment of fertility."

 Then, Naoki slowly told the legend of King Lei Guan, focusing on his ability to make flowers bloom, soil fertile, and crops harvested.

“King Lei Guan is a Pokémon with a loving heart. He can see everything in the past, present and future, and will bring good luck to those who believe in him.”

 No more, the more I talk, the more I feel like a bastard... Naoki complained in his heart.

He coughed slightly, and then changed the subject: "Mayor Thomas, let's start dividing the carcasses!"

Before everyone had recovered, Mayor Thomas had already walked to the high platform with a smile on his face.

He held a watermelon knife in his hand and said while cutting the melon: "Let us thank King Lei Guan for allowing us to eat delicious watermelon during this season."

 The Galar region, the crown of snow.

Lei Guanwang suddenly found a warm power welling up in his body.

He was familiar with this feeling. He had felt this way a long time ago.

 That is the power transformed by human faith in Him.

 Feeling that his body was gradually getting warmer, King Lei Guan's figure flickered, and then he appeared on a vast white snowfield with no end in sight.

 Its toes lightly touched the snow, and its eyes flashed with blue superpowers.

Through the distant space and time, he saw a group of humans gathering together, seemingly celebrating something, and the surroundings were very lively.

And His little believer, who has been working very hard, is standing in front of everyone, trying his best to promote His existence to them.

 “…the great Lord of Plenty.”

"The embodiment of fertility...a Pokémon with a loving heart..."

 “Let us thank King Lei Guan…”

Hearing these words and looking at that scene, King Lei Guan was deeply touched in her heart.

 In the long years, this is the first time that a human has done such a thing for Him.

 It is impossible not to be moved.

Lei Guanwang: "I really didn't expect that little believer to trust Gu so much."

 He is really too pious.
