Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Watermelon Knight Kuailong—Summer Limited (4k)

 That afternoon, Naoki went to town and bought several large packages of sunflower seeds from the seed store.

However, he did not plant it immediately, but planned to wait until all the crops in this round were mature and harvested before starting planting.

 Sunflowers are a crop that can be planted seasonally, even in autumn.

In this way, before the cold winter comes, he can save a large number of melon seeds, peel them, and just grab a handful and stuff them into his mouth when he wants to talk to Pokémon.

 As for the problem of getting angry...

 As long as he eats more fruits and vegetables to neutralize it, it will probably be fine.

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

 Zhi Shu brought several ripe watermelons, goat's milk from the mount goat and milk from the large milk jug in front of him.

Looking at the crops that were about to mature in the field, Zach grinned and said: "It's another good harvest season! I heard that the harvests on other farms are also good."

Zhi Shu's heart moved: “Has anyone's crops matured early?”

 Zach shook his head: "That's not true."

He didn't know what he was thinking of. He turned to look at the King Lei Guan's shrine not far away and said with a smile:

"Because of the huge watermelon you gave everyone last time, the nearby farms and people began to believe in King Lei Guan. They bought a statue from Kelly and worshiped it at home. Everyone felt that King Lei Guan was secretly behind this harvest. The reason for helping, that Legendary Pokémon is really amazing!”

 Naoki: “…”

He was suddenly worried that the people in the town relied too much on King Lei Guan's power and thus abandoned their past hardworking nature, so he couldn't help but give a subtle reminder.

 “This is also the result of everyone's joint efforts.”

Zach heard what he meant and laughed loudly: "Don't worry! Everyone knows this. Just like the story says, if people are too lazy, they may be annoyed by the legendary Pokémon. So as to withdraw the favor.”

“So, although everyone is very grateful to Lei Guanwang, we will also work hard with our own strength.”

Hearing these words, Naoki felt relieved.

Zach handed over today's shipping fee: "Here, this is today's money. I'm going to leave first. There are other places waiting for me to collect the goods! See you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

　　Naoki said goodbye to Zach, then turned around and went to Ice Eevee's igloo to pick up an ice-cold watermelon.

 Benefiting from the power of the ice and snow stone, the skin of the watermelon has been covered with a fine layer of frost.

 Zhi Shu carried it and several other watermelons back to the house and began to try making dishes with watermelons.

 The first thing to make is iced watermelon juice that is refreshing and relieving the heat.

Zhi Shu cut the iced watermelon open, threw the pulp into the juicer, plugged it in, and the juicer started humming.

 Soon, cups of cold red watermelon juice were prepared.

 Zhishu looked down.

[Iced watermelon juice (B): A summer drink made from chilled watermelon.

 Cooking effect: Heat resistance level 1. After consumption, it can withstand high temperature weather and prevent heatstroke. The duration is 15 minutes.

Comments: The sweet and delicious watermelon juice is an excellent drink to touch your taste buds. A cup of it in the hot summer will give you a refreshing cooling feeling. ]

Hour resistant…

 Zhi Shu remembered that he had made several dishes with similar effects before, such as hot soup noodles, which had the effect of protecting against cold.

 Overall, it was pretty good, within his expectations.

 Next, Naoki tried watermelon shaved ice, fried watermelon rind, watermelon popsicles, watermelon jelly and other delicacies.

 However, the effects of these foods are not very satisfactory. They are either refreshing and relieving heat or restoring physical strength (small). The only one that has some effect is watermelon jelly.

  [Watermelon jelly (C+): jelly made from freshly picked watermelon.

 Cooking effect: Watermelon Knight. After feeding the Pokémon, if you carry a helmet item made of watermelon, it can transform into a Watermelon Knight, attracting the opponent's attention, and reducing the opponent's attack and defense during battle.

 Evaluation: It is elastic, smooth, tender and delicious. It is a snack suitable for all ages. ]

 Naoki: “…”

 Although it is useful, it does not seem to have much effect.

Looking at the pile of watermelon rinds left in front of him, Naoki thought that since he had nothing to do now, he might as well give it a try and see the effect.

He washed the rind of one of the watermelons that was still intact, then cut out the excess part with a knife and made it into a motorcycle helmet-style helmet.

He came outside carrying the watermelon rind, and happened to see Kuailong sleeping on the grass, so he called out to him.

Hearing the movement, Kuailong sat up from the ground: "Ouch?"

“Want to give you something good to enhance your strength?” Zhi Shu said mysteriously.

Hearing this, Kuailong's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately: "Ouch!"

 Zhishu first threw the watermelon jelly into Kuailong's mouth.

Watching Kuailong swallow the jelly like a gulp, then he took out the watermelon helmet hidden behind him and put it on its head under Kuailong's doubtful eyes.

With a muffled pop, Kuailong's horns penetrated the watermelon rind. The watermelon helmet fit perfectly on Kuailong's head, looking funny and cute.

Zhishu couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

 “Ouch…”

Kuailong raised his eyes and looked up, but couldn't see his appearance clearly.

At this time, Guluton ran over. It saw the watermelon on Kuailong's head and burst into laughter.

Kailong opened his eyes wide and looked at Naoki with an expression of disbelief.

　　Even playing tricks on it!

 Feeling that he was being laughed at, Kuailong felt aggrieved and was about to cry: "Ouch..."

Zhishu stopped smiling, and when he saw Kuailong's appearance, he shook his head:

“No, it's not that I want to laugh, it's because the way you look now makes people want to laugh.”

 Kuailong: “…” Aren't they all the same?

Naoki continued: "You should know that the food I cook has magical effects, right?"

 “Ouch.” Kuailong nodded his head.

“The jelly you just ate also has an effect. Its function is that after eating it, if you wear a watermelon helmet, you can gain an advantage in battle.”

 Naoki explained in detail: "For example, lowering the opponent's attack and defense. If you think about it, the opponent will be unable to stop laughing because of your appearance. Then it will be unable to concentrate and expose its flaws."

"From a certain point of view, it does lower its defense. When it laughs, its muscles will also lose strength, so its strength will also be reduced accordingly. You see, am I right?"

“Ouch…” Kuailong thought carefully, looked at Gu Ledun who was laughing non-stop, and then nodded.

 That seems to be the case.

 It immediately put away the watermelon helmet with great care: "Ouch!"

 From now on, this helmet will be his treasured treasure!

"Okay, then I'll give it to you." Naoki waved his hand casually.

Anyway, this stuff gets rotten quickly and can't be stored for too long, so it's useless.

　　Tonight we had a sumptuous watermelon feast in the pasture.

 Sauteed watermelon rind, watermelon juice, watermelon jelly, stewed steak with watermelon rind, watermelon sandwich…

At the end of the meal, a group of Pokémon collapsed on the ground weakly. They felt that they never wanted to eat watermelon again in their lives.

Seeing their appearance, Naoki showed an embarrassed smile on his face. There is no other way. He opened a lot of watermelons at once today and squeezed a lot of cups of watermelon juice. If he couldn't finish it, it would go bad.

After dinner, a group of Pokémon ran outside to bask in the moonlight. Zhi Shu was not sleepy, so he simply grabbed a handful of melon seeds and prepared to go to the underground cave to chat with the salt barriers.

However, before he reached the place, all the melon seeds he had eaten were consumed.

Kuailong lying on the grass not far away: "Ooooo!" (The moon is so beautiful!)

Motor Lizard: “Gah!” (It's so beautiful!)

 Huluton yawned: "Ah, geez..." (Isn't the moon always like this?)

Hing Eevee taking a leisurely walk in the flower field: "Buyi!" (This flower smells so good!)

The butterfly dancing on it: "咒咿～" (Yeah～)

 Bird Pokémon flying over the pasture: "Quack, quack!" (It's dark, go home, go home!)

 The ducks on the other side of the river: "Ke Ke Ke!" (I really want to swim in the river!)

 “Accessible!” (You will be swept away!)

 “Koda, Koda, Koda!” (There are a lot of delicious things growing across the street, they smell so good, I really want to eat them!)

 The straight tree has a head full of black lines.

How come even the ambient sounds of wild Pokémon are automatically translated!

Looking at it this way, the effect of translating melon seeds is too useless, right? !

And what's going on with this group of wild ducks? They actually want to steal his crops!

Zhishu's eyes turned to the group of ducks on the other side of the river, and as expected, he found that there were many ducks looking at this side.

Seeing him coming, the eyes of several of the ducks turned to him.

Zhi Shu ate a few melon seeds and heard the Kodak ducks say in a panic: "Kada!" (Kada was discovered!)

 Naoki: “…”

He pretended not to hear, turned around and walked into the salt house, followed the tunnel to the underground cave where the salt stone barriers lived.

 When he reached the bottom, he heard the sound of fighting.

Zhi Shu stepped forward to check and saw that the Salt Stone Treasure, which had not yet evolved, was sparring with a Salt Stone Barrier.

 He was not surprised to see this scene, because this was his advice to Yan Shibao.

Last time, Yan Shibao still didn't evolve after eating the pot of rock salt and fried soil, and it was still lost for a long time. At that time, Naoki provided it with another method.

 That means competing with other Pokémon, gaining experience in evolution through battles, tempering the body, and training the body's strength to meet the conditions for evolution.

Seeing him coming, Yan Shi Bao and Yan Shi Lei stopped.

Zhi Shu cracked a handful of melon seeds and asked, "How do you feel?"

 Yan Shibao: "Yanyan~" (feels good~)

"That's okay." Naoki stepped forward and inspected Yan Shibao's body, and then said: "It's going to be very soon. Soon you will be able to evolve into a more powerful Salt Shibao."

"Yanyan~" Yan Shibao jumped twice happily on the ground. Thinking of what Zhi Shu had done for it these days, it was moved in its heart: "Yan Yan!" (I like Zhi Shu the most!)

Hearing this, Zhi Shu was slightly startled, and then realized that this was the truest thought in Yan Shibao's heart.

 He smiled and said: "Thank you, I like you very much too."

 Yan Shibao jumped up on the ground even more happily.

Zhishu reached out and touched its head. Just as he was about to pick up the salt stone treasure, he suddenly saw a dazzling light erupting from its body.

 In the light, its appearance changes rapidly.

 That's evolution!

 After a moment, the light dissipated, and a very strong salt stone barrier appeared in front of Zhishu.

 At this point, all five Salt Stone Treasures have evolved.

 “Barrier~!” (I've evolved, so happy!)

"Congratulations, Salt Stone Barrier." Naoki stood up and looked at the five Salt Barriers in front of him with emotion.

 His mind recalled the scene when he first saw them.

 Honestly, there is nothing in this world that is more satisfying than watching a Pokémon evolve and grow.

　　From a little kid to a big guy, from a weak Pokémon with no ability to protect itself to a powerful one

Perhaps this is the joy of developing?

Zhishu chatted with the group of salt boulders for a while. When he saw the sleepy expressions of some salt boulders, he was ready to leave.

“Then I won't disturb your rest, see you tomorrow!”

　　　　　 (See you tomorrow~)

Just as he stood up to leave, he suddenly heard a rustling sound in the corner of the cave.

Huh?

Zhi Shu was a little surprised, wondering if there were other wild Pokémon attracted to this cave?

With doubts, he stepped forward, and soon he saw a small bulging earth bag on the flat ground.

 There was a faint sound coming from inside.

 “Zhizhizhi!” (Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me Zhizhi!)

 Naoki: “…”

 Good guy, he thought the gopher had run away! It turned out that he was hiding underground!

He shouted: "Gopher, come out quickly, I have seen you!"

Then, Naoki saw that the little dirt bag seemed to be frightened in some way, turned around and ran deeper.

Zhi Shu said speechlessly: "Gopher, don't run away. Stay and work. I will provide you with food every day, as long as you can help me plow the land!"

As soon as these words came out, the fleeing gopher stopped.

 It cautiously poked its head out of the earth bag: "Zhizhi?" (Really?)

"Of course it's true." Naoki said with a smile: "From now on, your destruction of farmland will be over. Now I want to officially hire you to work in the ranch. As a reward, I will provide you with three meals a day." meal."

 “Zhizhi?!”

 The gopher was surprised and happy.

 The accumulated word count has been exhausted. Zhi Shu couldn't understand what the gopher said, but judging from its expression, he should have agreed.

He thought for a moment and said, "Then from today on, you can live here!"

Pokémon such as gophers have their nests underground, and they rarely come to the surface because strong sunlight will weaken their bodies.

Zhi Shu paused and then said: "Whenever there is need, I will come over and call you."

He happened to be planning to expand the scale of sunflower planting in the past few days. With the presence of gophers who are good at farming, this work will be much easier for him, and he will be able to open up more land for farming.

In this way, the more crops are planted, the greater the chance that the grassy field where the goats are mounted will cause them to mutate.

The gopher squeaked a few times to express his agreement.

 Zhi Shu asked again: “Where have you been these days?”

 He took out another handful of melon seeds and started eating them.

 “Zhizhi, zhizhizhi.”

The Gopher said he had been around here all these days because his nest was here.

 In a place where Zhishu cannot be seen, directly under the pasture, it has dug many small passages, which usually do not go to the ground.

 Because there was no food on the ground before, until not long ago, the gopher suddenly found that people lived on the land above his nest, and crops were planted.

 It was attracted by the crops, and what happened next happened.

Hearing these words, Naoki nodded to express his understanding. I bet they were the last ones to come to this land!

"It's okay, then you can live here!" Seeing the gopher's eyes turned to the salt barrier, Naoki continued: "Don't worry, those salt barrier won't hurt you, they are very docile Pokémon. .”

 “Zhizhi.” The gopher responded.
