Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 153

Chapter 153 The Challenger Frightened by the Trial of Green Grass (4k)

 In the afternoon, the gopher had dug a big hole in the ground of the salt house.

 The little gopher was panting from exhaustion. The workload of this project was too huge for it.

 But it is still not enough for so many salt stone barriers to live in, and after hollowing out the underground, it is necessary to prevent the surface from collapsing.

 These require some preventive measures to be taken in advance.

Looking at the big hole dug by the gopher, Naoki fell into deep thought.

When the gopher saw his expression, his two small eyes were full of expectation and worry: "Zhizhizhi?"

 “Don't worry, we'll be with you.” Before the project is completed, he will not treat his employees badly.

 Zhi Shu took out the sandwich he brought and put it on the ground.

The gopher immediately moved over happily and took small bites of the sandwich in front of him.

“I have no experience in building underground tunnels. If the ground collapses after digging the tunnel, it will be a waste.”

As Naoki walked outside, he thought to himself: "I have to go back and ask Keri for advice on how to prevent collapse."

 He walked to the pasture, intending to go to Bingyibu's ice cellar to get some ice cubes to make smoothies.

 But at this moment, three boys and girls in school uniforms suddenly came to the ranch.

"Huh?"

 Zhi Shu was a little surprised to see them.

Those three people had obviously seen him too.

 Naoki heard them plotting loudly.

“This is the farm Carter was talking about? The place where the Green Grass Trial is held?”

"Huh? No way? The person who helped him train was a farmer?"

“Holy shit! What did I see! Is that Dragonite? Why are there such rare Pokémon here?”

Zhi Shu felt something in his heart, thinking that that boy Carter actually helped him publicize it.

After trying Yunyu for the first time, the ordinary disco can no longer satisfy the mounted goats. These days, their hooves are itching unbearably and they have been longing for a fight.

Just when he was about to go up to meet him, Butupo flew over.

The eyes of the three people were instantly attracted by the handsome cloth dog wearing a red cloak.

 The three honest students who had been doing their jobs since childhood saw the incredible scene and their eyes widened.

 One of the girls with short pink hair even exclaimed blankly:

“Oh my god! Is that…Buguru? Can a Pokémon like Bukibo fly?”

Another boy wearing glasses adjusted his glasses. He observed the appearance of the cloth dog and said calmly: "It should be using the principle of electromagnetic levitation."

 At this time, someone else saw Gulton.

 “What kind of Pokémon is that?”

"I don't know either."

“Where is this place? How come there are so many rare Pokémon?”

Looking at the stunned expressions of the three of them, Naoki felt funny in his heart, and then walked forward: "Hello!"

 “Excuse me!” The three of them were quite polite.

They greeted Naoki first, and then asked: "Excuse me, are you the owner of this place? We heard from Carter that a grass trial that can help Pokémon practice is being held here..."

"It's me." Naoki smiled and nodded. He glanced at the school uniforms of the three of them and asked, "You and Carter are both students of Orange Academy, right?"

"No, I'm from Grape Academy." The girl said.

Zhi Shu was a little surprised.

The girl then told about how Padia College is divided into two colleges: Orange College and Grape College. Freshmen can choose different colleges according to their preferences after enrolling.

Hearing this, Naoki nodded. Although he was surprised, he didn't think much about it.

 After all, this is the world after the fusion of Zhuzi. Dr. Olin and Dr. Futu are both here, so this is normal.

He glanced at the three of them and asked, "Are you all here to participate in the Green Grass Trial?"

The three of them nodded, thinking about the changes in Carter and the messenger bird, and they were very curious.

 What kind of special training can make people undergo earth-shaking changes in such a short period of time?

 The three of them felt itchy in their hearts.

"Come with me, but participating in the trial requires a ticket fee of 2,000 alliance coins." Zhi Shu said.

 This price was finalized by him after careful consideration.

"Huh?" Hearing that there was still a ticket fee, the three of them looked at each other: "Didn't Carter say there is a fee?"

Naoki explained: "That's because after the battle, I will provide treatment services for your Pokémon. No matter how serious the injury is, it can be 100% healed."

 “That's it!” The three of them suddenly realized.

  2000 Alliance Coins, this price is not expensive. The price of four bottles of Moo Milk is quite cost-effective if it can really help their Pokémon become stronger.

Seeing the looks of the three of them, Naoki guessed what they were thinking and reminded him:

“Whether you can become stronger or not depends on your own and your Pokémon's perseverance and understanding.”

 “Got it!” The three of them nodded. They had heard Carter talk about this.

 “Very good, come on then!”

 Speaking, Naoki led the people to the battlefield.

He waved to the sheepfold, and the three mounted goats that were ready to move immediately ran over and looked at the three of them with high spirits.

 “Yeah!”

 Three people:?

Naoki explained to them: "There are three levels in the Green Grass Trial. The first level involves fighting a goat, the second level involves fighting two goats at the same time, and the third level requires fighting three mounts at the same time. goat."

“Those who finally pass the trial will receive a mysterious grand prize that helps Pokémon grow.”

Mount a goat?

 The pink-haired girl's eyes were filled with confusion.

She looked at the three mount goats opposite and asked uncertainly: "Is the trial of green grass a battle with the mount goats?"

This is too different from what she imagined, right?

Although the three mount goats look tall and strong, they are just mount goats, with only one grass attribute...

If you send out a Pokémon with the herbivorous attribute, or a Pokémon that can restrain grass-type Pokémon, wouldn't it be easy to win this trial?

Naoki immediately guessed what the girl was thinking.

He smiled and shook his head and said: "As a trainer, you must not despise the enemy because of attribute restraint or characteristic suppression. A true master always maintains the heart of an apprentice."

 The girl was shocked.

 These words are not something that ordinary people can say!

 “May I know your name?” She used honorifics.

"Of course." Naoki nodded slightly: "I am Naoki, as you can see, I am the owner of this ranch."

"Naoki..." The girl recited the name silently in her heart, and then nodded: "I understand, Mr. Naoki!"

Zhi Shu didn't say much, but just asked: “Want to try?”

The girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded. She took out her Ibrahimovic-style wallet and found 2,000 alliance coins.

 While paying, the girl suddenly thought of something: "By the way, can one ticket only be used for one battle?"

Zhi Shu shook his head: "Until the moment you leave the ranch, before you leave, you can challenge the Green Grass Trial unlimitedly. Once you leave here and want to challenge again, you need to purchase a new ticket."

Zhi Shu didn't want to be evil-minded, not to mention that this grass trial was meant to satisfy the mount goats' desire to fight and help them vent their energy.

 If it were one ticket at a time, the price would dissuade many challengers.

However, he is not worried that someone will continue to challenge him.

 Because after all, not all trainers and Pokémon can accept losing all the time, and Carter is the minority.

 The girl nodded: "I understand."

 “Then, let's get started!”

Naoki took a step back and acted as a referee.

 One of the mounted goats walked onto the battlefield and looked to the opposite side eagerly.

 The girl sent out a huge whale with five hard horns.

 The battle officially begins. The mounted goat instantly released a large amount of grass-attribute energy that enveloped the entire battle field.

In response, the gigantic whale responded with an ice spin. Its feet were covered with a thin layer of ice, and its huge body spun at high speed while rushing towards the goat.

 The grass field was destroyed by the ice vortex, and the grass attribute energy began to disappear.

Seeing this scene, the mount goat was a little angry. Its eyes were fixed on the huge whale, and an even greater amount of grass-attribute energy was released from its body.

The grassy field destroyed by the huge whale was instantly repaired.

Immediately afterwards, facing the huge whale rushing towards him, two extremely thick vine whips stretched out from behind the mount goat and whipped the huge whale fiercely.

 With a whip, the huge whale's head was stunned, and its whole body began to spin on the spot like a top.

girl:"?"

　　The goat whipped the top for a while, and the huge whale fainted and passed out.

 “Stand up quickly!” the girl shouted.

 But Mount Goat did not give her this chance.

I saw it let out a sheep cry, and the two thick vine whips instantly merged into one, turning into a huge grass stick and smashing it towards the huge whale.

 “Boom!”

 With a loud noise, dust flew up on the battlefield.

When everything calmed down, the huge whale seemed to have lost its ability to fight.

 The two people watching: “???”

What the **** is that move? Is it a cane whip? Is it the Vine Whip they know?

 The girl's face was filled with disbelief.

 She looked at the goat on the opposite side, and the whole process just occurred in her mind.

 That Pokémon...is it really just a mount goat?

 Zhi Shu stepped forward and fed the juice and milk to the gigantic whale.

 After a while, the huge whale woke up.

 Zhi Shu turned around and saw the relaxed expression of the goat, and asked, "Do you want to continue?"

"Wait!" the girl asked in disbelief: "I want to know, did Carter also fight with this goat that day?"

"Yes." Naoki replied truthfully: "Carter is a very perseverant person. He conducted devil-like special training with me for two days and gained a lot of valuable experience from the Green Grass Trial."

 The girl nodded: "I understand."

 She checked the great whale's injuries, and then said: "We have to continue."

 The second battle has officially begun.

  It's still the mount goat vs the huge whale.

This time, the girl changed the way of fighting and did not let the whale use ice spin. She was afraid that the whale would be beaten like a top by her opponent again.

 “The huge whale, overwhelmed by Mount Tai!” the girl ordered.

The huge whale let out a loud cry and jumped up from the ground. Its huge body blocked the sun in the sky.

At the same time, the goat's eyes were fixed on the huge whale in mid-air.

 A majestic grass-attributed energy condensed crazily in its mouth.

 The two boys who were watching noticed something was wrong.

 The next second, they saw a giant blade of green grass condensed from the mount goat's mouth.

 “Fuck!”

 “What is that?”

The two of them opened their eyes wide. No words could express their feelings under this situation.

The mounted goat held the giant blade of grass in its mouth and faced the falling whale straightly.

 The two Pokémon collided fiercely in mid-air.

The moment he was hit by the giant blade of grass, the huge whale's body lost its balance and fell straight down, creating a big crater.

 The goat on the other hand fell steadily behind the huge whale.

 The giant blade of grass in its mouth disappeared, and then it slowly turned around and looked at the huge whale in the pit.

 Second, second? !

The boy wearing glasses stared at this scene dumbfounded. Even though he was as calm as he was, he took a breath after seeing this.

 The girl also had the same expression on her face.

 She looked at the huge whale that had lost its fighting ability in disbelief, and suddenly realized the gap between herself and the opponent.

 That is comparable to the gap between heaven and earth!

 She turned her attention to the rancher.

 But the other party raised his head with a smile and asked: "Do you want to continue?"

 The girl was startled and shook her head repeatedly: "No, no!"

She has a deep and clear understanding of herself. If she continues, she will only be tortured by the terrifying goat.

 It's not a masochist, so who wants to continue? !

Zhishu was a little disappointed, and he was not happy that he still had two goats to ride on!

 He looked at the two male students watching and asked, "What about you? Do you want to give it a try?"

The two boys were also startled and shook their heads instinctively: "Forget it! Let's do it next time!"

 Rare dragons, unseen Pokémon, flying earth dogs, salt and stone barriers running around, and extraordinary mount goats...

 Everything is telling them that something is wrong with this place! This is definitely no ordinary ranch!

 Seeing this, Zhi Shu became even more disappointed.

He began to reflect in his mind. It was obvious that these three students were frightened by the terrifying strength displayed by the goat, so they did not dare to fight against the goat.

How can this be done?

He thought for a moment, and then came up with the same words he used to fool Carter.

"What a pity." He sighed: "You have not understood the true meaning of the trial of green grass."

As expected, the three people's eyes were immediately attracted.

 “Mr. Naoki, what does this mean?” the girl couldn't help but ask.

Zhi Shu said without blushing and without a beating heart:

“My original intention of creating the Green Grass Trial is to help more trainers test and exercise the strength and character of the Pokémon around them.”

“Winning blindly has never been the purpose of trials. The purpose is to gain more experience from the battle, learn how to deal with strong enemies, and learn courage.”

“This way when facing a strong enemy in the future, your Pokémon will remember this moment. It has persisted through such a difficult trial. What else in the world can stop it?”

“Unyielding character and tenacious perseverance are the prerequisites for becoming a powerful trainer, just like grass growing in the wild.”

“Carter did this, so his progress was rapid, and it was those scars that made them who they are.”

"I don't want you to gain nothing from the trial." Zhishu understood it with reason and emotion, and he almost believed it himself.

As expected, when he finished saying this, the three people in front of him were moved.

 The girl remembered what Mr. Naoki said before - a true master always has the heart of an apprentice.

 This is obviously not something that ordinary people can say.

 She couldn't help but said: "Mr. Naoki, you must be a very powerful trainer!"

 Master trainer? Or a champion? Or maybe a retired king?

 Not only is he powerful, he is also kind-hearted. Even if he lives in seclusion in the wild, he never forgets to pass on his master spirit.

I also want to help the younger generation of trainers become stronger, and use this trial method to think about them...

 Thinking about it this way, Mr. Naoki is simply a good man with noble character!
