Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 180

 Chapter 180 Exploding Popcorn (4k)

　　　Kyuubi slept for a long time.

In the dream, he cried and laughed, sometimes happy and sometimes sad, as if he had returned to the beautiful and youthful time.

 Zhi Shu and the other Pokémon looked on with mixed feelings.

Seeing the graceful girl in kimono grow into an old man with wrinkled face, gray hair and stooped waist, they couldn't help but feel emotional in their hearts.

 …No wonder Jiuwei was so sad. In order to see that person again, he did not hesitate to cross thousands of rivers and mountains to come here.

However, this seems to have fulfilled one of Kyuubi's wishes.

By the time it woke up, its face had already returned to its calm and silent expression, but it was a little more gentle than before.

It stood up from under the tree, walked over with its nine tails shining brightly in the sun, and solemnly expressed its gratitude to Naoki.

 “I will remember this day forever,” it said.

"Actually, it's nothing." Naoki quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "As long as I can help you."

 Then he asked: “Where are you going next?”

Hearing this, Jiuwei looked into the distance.

It didn't say it clearly, it just said: “Go where I should go.”

Zhi Shu was startled for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then we wish you a safe journey."

The only pity is that the tavern has not been built yet, and as the first guest of the tavern, Kyuubi may not be able to see him.

Thinking of this, Naoki couldn't help but feel regretful in his heart.

Kyuubi looked at the human in front of him gratefully and nodded slightly to him.

Then he raised his head and let out a melodious cry, stepped on the flames, and ran towards the distant horizon, finally disappearing from everyone's sight.

 Looking in that direction, Naoki sighed inwardly.

 But when he turned around, he saw the tears in the eyes of all the Pokémon in the pasture.

 Naoki: “…”

 Mini Dragon and Hack Dragon have never seen a Pokémon like Kyuubi, nor have they met their own trainer, nor have they experienced that kind of unforgettable emotion.

 But this does not prevent them from being moved by it.

Three mini dragons and two Huck dragons with tears in their eyes.

 They were both moved and envious. They were touched by the deep relationship between Kyuubi and that human being, and envied Kyuubi for being able to meet such a good human being.

Thinking of himself, these five immature Pokémon looked at Naoki pitifully, wondering if they would be like that.

 “Woo?”

 Naoki thought for a while and wanted to say something.

However, before he could answer, Kuailong beside him clenched his fists loudly.

 It is hard, the fist is hard.

 “Ouch!”

It stepped forward with a serious expression and carried these five unsightly offspring away, telling them that Naoki was its trainer, and that if you want to be good to Kuailong, you can only be good to one Kuailong!

 Naoki: “…”

He could only say: "The most important thing in a person's life is to learn to live in the present and enjoy the present."

Several Pokémon seemed to understand.

Naoki spread his hands helplessly: "Don't you think the future is too far away? If you live in anxiety about the future every day, wouldn't this time be wasted?"

“Happiness is just one day, and unhappiness is also one day. Why not live every day happily?”

"So, there is no need to worry about what the future holds. I promise you, each of you is different to me." Naoki said sincerely.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that what he said was a bit like a quote from a scumbag.

 Because no matter what kind of creature he is, he will always be jealous, just like the cats and dogs he raised in his previous life.

Although Pokémon are smarter, they can't escape this.

 Now, just let them know that each of them is different to him. After all, this is what Naoki really thinks in his heart.

As expected, after hearing these words, a group of Pokémon looked moved.

Naoki: "..." No, he will have to develop some longevity-prolonging dish later!

　　　Kyuubi left.

 The pasture has returned to its former lively scene, as if it had never appeared before.

 Because of Nine Tails, Naoki missed this year's fishing competition.

 He heard from Alvin about the aftermath of the fishing competition. The championship was taken away by a dark horse uncle who suddenly came out.

It is said that it was an uncle wearing a red and white hat. In just four hours, he caught twenty-eight carp and won the championship of this fishing competition.

He was nicknamed Uncle Carp King. After fishing, Uncle Carp King continued his journey with a smile on his face.

As for the absence of the fishing king, people in the town felt sorry for him.

　　Naoki: ...it's a good thing he didn't go, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

 Early the next morning, Keri continued to work on the ranch.

 Zhi Shu started a new round of crop planting.

Taking advantage of the good weather today, he plans to expand the farmland area and plant more

So early in the morning, Zhi Shu came to the gopher hole and shouted several times inside.

 After a while, a little gopher poked its head out of the hole and looked at him with a little doubt.

 “Zhizhi?”

Zhi Shu smiled and said: "I have something to ask you today."

 Hearing this, the gopher's eyes suddenly lit up.

Since it was hired by Zhi Shu, it has been living in an underground cave with the group of salt rocks, and can still eat food made by Zhi Shu every day.

The gopher is quite grateful. It consciously works hard and is always waiting for the call of the boss, wanting to dedicate its meager efforts to him.

But after waiting for a long time, it didn't see Naoshu coming to help it, but it kept eating the other person's food.

This made the gopher feel very ashamed and felt like he was living and eating for free.

 So, after hearing that something needed to be done today, the gopher immediately became excited.

 “Zhizhi!”

Seeing the gopher's appearance, Naoki raised his eyebrows.

Does this little gopher like to work that much?

 But to him, this seems to be a good thing.

 So Naoki brought the gopher to the land he planned to develop and said to it:

"This is it. I would like to ask you to plow the land here. I plan to plant more crops here."

 The gopher understands it in seconds.

It immediately drilled into the ground with high spirits, turned into a small bulge and moved quickly. The land plowed by gophers immediately became soft at a speed visible to the naked eye, exuding the aroma of earth.

 After a while, a neat field appeared in front of Zhishu.

 Looking at this scene, Naoki felt very satisfied.

Looking at it this way, Pokémon like Gophers work quite efficiently, so no wonder they are so popular among farmers.

“Well, the next step is to set up the scaffolding and plant the hops.” Naoki secretly made a plan in his mind.

The last round of hops has been harvested and he stored them for brewing later.

 But the quantity of hops is still not enough, so Zhishu plans to expand the planting scale.

 It was almost noon before the gophers had plowed the entire field.

 Coupled with the hot weather, it was already tired and sweating profusely. Seeing this, Zhi Shu fed it a bottle of juice and milk, and then let it go back to the cool underground to rest.

The gopher obediently agreed, and then dived into the underground passage.

Zhi Shu returned to the house and glanced at the old-fashioned wall clock on the wall. Seeing that it was getting late, he planned to make lunch first and wait until the afternoon to build a scaffold for the hops to grow.

Today's lunch is still a sandwich, pan-fried steak with juice and milk, but because of the hot weather, Naoki has added cooling watermelon, cream smoothie and other cool and refreshing foods to the Pokémon's recipes.

 It is worth mentioning that he has also tried to use vegetables and fruits such as pumpkins, pineapples, and onions harvested in the previous round to make dishes.

 The cooking effect that can be produced is not very satisfactory.

Without the effect of changing the size and lighting up, the dishes made from these ordinary pumpkins and ordinary pineapples only have the effect of restoring physical strength and replenishing energy.

This made Naoki feel very regretful. He felt that his cooking posture was not right.

But in order to save money to build a house, he sold all the crops after harvesting, leaving only one or two of each type, so the dishes produced could not serve as a reference.

"Perhaps we can wait until the next batch of crops matures before trying carefully." Naoki thought silently.

The afternoon sun became more and more dazzling, and the weather outside was hot. Zhi Shu really didn't want to work at this time, so he stayed in the air-conditioned room with a group of Pokémon and watched TV.

There is a food program being played on TV, and the host is teaching the audience how to make a delicious snack that is very popular among children - popcorn.

Looking at this scene, Naoki suddenly remembered that the corn in his own field was almost mature.

He noticed that several Pokémon around him were attracted by the popcorn on the screen, and couldn't help but feel speechless.

 He is fed good food and drink every day, why is he still so greedy...

However, they have probably never eaten popcorn, right?

As he happened to have nothing to do after the meal, Naoki went to the cornfield and broke off a few corns. He asked the strong Gullton to rub the corn kernels off. After cleaning them, he started to make them according to the tutorial on that food show. stand up.

 The first step is to heat up the pot, pour in an appropriate amount of oil, and when the oil is hot, add the corn and stir-fry.

When the corn kernels exploded, Naoki immediately covered the pot, and then a dull crackling sound came from the pot.

This voice startled the Pokémon behind him, and they gathered around to look at the scene in the pot curiously.

I saw that the originally ordinary corn kernels continued to grow and expand, and finally exploded and turned into golden popcorn.

The sound became louder and louder, vaguely like someone setting off a string of firecrackers in the pot, rapid and dense.

 Gradually, however, the sound gradually decreased, and all the corn kernels in the pot disappeared, turning into plump popcorn with a fragrant aroma.

　　Opening the lid of the pot, a pot full of "little fat man" eagerly popped out.

Seeing this scene, Zhi Shu secretly said, "Oh no, there's too much corn!"

 He quickly caught it in the basin he prepared in advance, and then poured all the popcorn in the pot into it.

In passing, I glanced at these fragrant popcorn.

 In an instant, the popcorn information appeared in Naoki's mind.

Exploded popcorn (B): A simple snack made from corn. Paired with Coke, it is an excellent combination when watching a movie.

 Cooking effect: Explosion Specialization lv1. After being eaten by a Pokémon, the explosive moves used by the Pokémon will be strengthened, increasing the power of the moves.

Rating: A very good snack, very popular among children. ]

 “Huh? Explosion specialization?”

Naoki immediately began to recall moves related to explosions in his mind.

 The first is the most famous self-destruction...

This is a move that is almost fatal, causing an explosion to attack all Pokémon around it, but after using it, the Pokémon will be on the verge of death.

 The second is the enhanced version of Big Explosion, Afro Head Attack, and Steam Explosion.

If the name of the move includes explosion, then we also need to add explosive flames, metal explosions, and the dreamy Z-move, Origin Nova Explosion...

Although it sounds useful, it is not that effective for the Pokémon around him.

etc!

 It seems that not everything is useless.

 Naoki suddenly remembered the description of Guluton's exclusive move.

 Full-open slam: Transform while falling violently, and trigger an ancient explosion, if the weak point is targeted. The power will be further enhanced.

So the question is, can this move be classified as an explosive move?

Just try and you will find out.

Naoki thought as he handed the still steaming popcorn to the Pokémon.

After he saw Gu Ledun eating it with his own eyes, he called Gulden outside mysteriously.

 “Ah gah?”

Guluton, who followed him, looked confused.

 Zhi Shu brought it to a piece of grass and said, "Show me with a full slam?"

Huluton blinked his eyes. Although he didn't know why Naoki suddenly wanted to see it use this move, he still showed it to him.

 Zhi Shu stood there, concentrating and holding his breath.

I saw Guledun spread his arms and leapt into the air. The brightly colored feathers on its head turned into wings, and then deformed and fell violently toward the ground.

 “Boom!”

There was a huge explosion, and Zhi Shu felt the earth tremble. There was a tinnitus in his ears, and a large cloud of dust and smoke blocked his vision.

Zhishu accidentally sucked it into his mouth, coughed twice, and looked nervously at Gulton in front of him.

 After a moment, the dust and smoke dissipated, and in addition to Guluton, what appeared in front of him was a huge pit.

 Hurton was standing in the pit at this time, with confusion and confusion written on his face.

what happened? It has obviously lost its strength, right?

After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, Naoki's breath suddenly became suffocated, his vision went dark, and he almost fainted on the spot.

 The lawn he just mowed!

 Damn it, he underestimated the destructive power of Legendary Pokémon!

This can't be blamed on him, after all, Pokémon like Guluton are too confusing.

Who would have thought that this Pokémon, which is similar to a Biker, would be the same cover **** as Groudon Kyogre?

　　"Hold it, hold it." Naoki forced himself to focus on Gulton's moves: "It seems that your full slam was strengthened by the popcorn just now."

 “Ah squeak?!” So ​​Luton was startled at first, and then he came back to his senses with hindsight: “Ah squeak?”
